Gu Qingzhang didn't eat his set at all.

He said: "If you are wronged, the girl will not be wronged?" Not long after you got married, you have to eat from the bowl and look at the pot? ”

Gua Er is his old subordinate, Gu Qingzhang said this very harshly, but even if he doesn't give the other party this face, he must beat him well.

The girl of Lingzhou City is willing to marry his soldiers, which is a good thing to have the best of both worlds.

But now Gua Er's mind is floating, and it is not Yang Susu's face that is slapped, but his Gu Qingzhang's face.

The so-called upward and downward effect, once such an atmosphere is formed, it will inevitably have an impact on other ordinary soldiers.

Gua Er thought about it in his heart, quickly turned the corner, and whispered: "Master Hou, this time it was a subordinate who made a mistake." ”

"If you know your mistakes, you can change them," Gu Qingzhang raised his horsewhip and pointed to the location of the female dependents in the rear, "When you are free, you can go and make amends to the Susu girl, and live a stable life in the future." ”

After solving this matter, Gu Qingzhang would not have any burden in his heart, and he would be able to concentrate on rushing back to Suzhou.

It's just that they have their daughters on the road, and it is inevitable that the road will be much slower than the previous speed, and they will stop and go slowly, until they come to Yanling.

"Master Hou!"

The pro-soldier who bent down to check the condition of the horse straightened up and called Gu Qingzhang: "It's best to rest first, I'm afraid this horse won't be able to bear it." ”

Counting the days, from Lingzhou to Yanling, they also walked for almost a month, and there was not much time in between.

Not far from Yanling is Suzhou, Ning Anhou is like an arrow, but seeing that the sycophants and the people below are very tired, he simply ordered to rest in Yanling for two days before setting off.

Gu Qingzhang asked people to hand over the greeting post to the city, and after a while, someone went out to greet him.

The man who came had a long, thin face, equally narrow and small eyes, a sarcoma on his neck, and a few sparse strands of beard on his chin.

"It turned out that Ning Anhou was here," he smiled and arched his hand, "Please forgive the officials for not being able to welcome them from afar." ”

Gu Qingzhang got off the horse and asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

The man quickly introduced himself: "Oh, down there is the prefect of Yanling, whose surname is Limingwen. ”

After the two finished greetings, Liwen invited him cordially and flatteringly: "Master Hou has been running around outside for a long time, and he must be tired, so he might as well go into the city to have a good rest." ”

This is also Gu Qingzhang's original intention, after thanking the other party happily, he asked the soldiers to be stationed outside Yanling City, and he took a few personal soldiers into the city.

The security of Yanling City is obviously good, the land at the city gate is neat and clean, and it seems that there is not even a trace of dust; The people of the city lived and worked in peace, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Gu Qingzhang looked at it all the way, although he felt that Yanling was really in order under the governance of Liwen, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

He rested at his residence for the night, and the next day he got up early the next morning and went alone to wander the streets of Yanling City.

Now that there were industrious people who came out to sell breakfast, he went to buy a piece of baked bread, and looked around as he ate.

The more he looked, the more strange he became.

The street vendors shouted, the white mist inside the steamed bun pastry shop was steaming, and an old man carrying a load of fresh wild vegetables was next to him.

Not far away, a little lady came out to buy vegetables with a basket on her shoulder, and when she passed by the butcher's stall, she would send him a horizontal wave as if she were inadvertent.

Everything is a normal picture of the people in the market, and Gu Qingzhang can even hear the sound of the students upstairs shaking their heads and reading in his ears.

He secretly laughed at his heart, and then sat down at a tofu brain shop next to him and asked for a bowl of tofu brain and a plate of soup dumplings.

"Master Hou?"

Gu Qingzhang raised his head after hearing the voice and met his gaze with Li Wen, who looked hesitant.

He said curiously: "What a coincidence, Lord Prefect, you are also here for breakfast." ”

Li Wen sat down familiarly.

"Not bad," he beckoned to the shopkeeper next to him, "a bowl of salted tofu brains, plus a plate of soup dumplings and two hard-boiled eggs." ”

Xiao Er, who was draped in a white towel, smiled and asked, "My lord, you still don't want green onions, right?" ”

"Yes."

Hearing this, Liwen seemed to be a frequent customer of this shop, and Gu Qingzhang's vigilance in his heart was slightly lowered.

"The soup dumplings in this shop are a must," Liwen filled him with tea, "It is said that the master used to be from Lao Nanzhili and moved his family to Yanling." ”

Gu Qingzhang was a little surprised: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you have come to eat." ”

Li Wen nodded generously, and he pointed outside: "The door plaque of this store is still inscribed by me." The shopkeeper said that he wouldn't take my money, but I, as a parent official, how could I have a reason to eat the people's white food? ”

At this time, the shopkeeper brought the tofu brain and soup dumplings, and served them vinegar on a small plate.

"My lord, you use it slowly," after finishing speaking, Xiao Er did not leave, but rubbed his hands and smiled embarrassedly, "...... can you take a look at Xiaomin's case before?" ”

"Hmm!"

Liwen was burned by the soup dumplings, he put down his chopsticks, and smiled a little casually: "Some of the cases of the government are not visible to me." But don't worry, as long as it's reasonable, it's not a big deal. ”

He is so close to the people, but Gu Qingzhang is a little sideways.

In fact, at the first glance of the other party, he actually didn't have a good impression of Liwen, because his face was really not pleasing.

"The prefect has a lot of opportunities," he picked up the soup bag and dipped it in vinegar, "I didn't expect to remember the lawsuit case of a shopkeeper." ”

Li Wen stirred the tofu brain with a spoon, thought about it, and quipped: "The shopkeeper is also a common person, so you can't let him go to the government to do things because he is the shopkeeper, right?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.

At this moment, Li Wen suddenly said "Huh", pointed to his eyes, and asked hesitantly: "Master Hou, ...... are you?" ”

Gu Qingzhang was stunned.

"A few years ago in the south, it was caused by miasma," he didn't care, "the doctor didn't get cured after a few waves, anyway, it didn't matter, so he went with him." ”

Since he didn't say much, Liwen didn't dare to ask more.

After breakfast, when Gu Qingzhang wanted to give money, he found that Li Wen had secretly settled the account for him.

Because the amount was not large, he didn't bother much, and Liwen also had official business, so the two said goodbye at the door of the store.

When he walked back, Gu Qingzhang saw several waves of people going in the same direction.

They are all dressed in the same way, whether they are young or old, rich or poor, they are very plain in their clothes, they hardly wear any jewelry, and they also carry a bamboo basket on their arms.

"Auntie," Gu Qingzhang grabbed one of them with some curiosity and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The eldest lady was originally a little impatient, but when she saw the other party's appearance and luxurious clothes, she immediately smiled: "Little offspring, at a glance, you know that you are from somewhere else." ”

"We're going to the edge gate to watch the incense now."
