Hongli was stunned for a few people, and then listened to a few children crying and screaming in unison, a strong man put a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl around his waist and came out of the temple, and then a woman chased out like a madman, a man and a woman followed behind "Mom and Dad" screaming. The woman shouted: "You have yours, I have passed mine, let's cut it in two!" You put the little girl down for me! You shameless man......" The man turned around and grabbed the round slap and slapped the woman with a full face, stomped his feet and shouted angrily: "Slut! Call you! I don't write a letter of resignation, you will be a member of the Wang family for the rest of your life! The woman was not afraid, jumped up and hugged her daughter, who was already crying hoarsely, and raised her face and scolded: "Am I cheap? Are you expensive? like your turtle grandson! I won't ask you to sell my daughter if I die, you give me a laydown, let go, let go! - I am the fifth or eighth generation of your ancestors...... Woo...... How can you live this day......" She saw Hongli and Li Fan standing at the door in a blink of an eye, lost the child and knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried: "Your master has done good deeds and accumulated virtues, let go of my daughter...... The dead man has fought for your debt, and told him to go and pay your debts as a long-term worker. My daughter is only thirteen years old, and she doesn't know how to wait. Your Chunxiang Building is not the place for girls to go...... Do well...... It must be the prince of all generations! Seeing that her father was stunned, the girl broke free and threw herself next to the woman with her younger siblings, and the mother and son hugged their heads and cried.

Hongli was stunned by this miserable parting of life and death, and then thought that she had mistaken herself for a buyer. Look at the three children, all of whom are not yet the age of the general horn, hugging their mother and staring at him with frightened eyes, his heart seems to have fallen from the old high place. Hongli was about to speak, and a personality behind him smiled: "You have asked the wrong master." The buyer is here! Li Wei and Fan Shijie were all engrossed in looking at this side, and turned around sharply, and saw a thin and tall man standing on the side of the stone foundation of the flagpole, and there were three or four street bastards next to him, smiling melon seeds. When Wang Lao Wu saw them coming, he came over and bowed humbly, and said, "Fifth Master Cai, you look at my house, she is reluctant...... The child is also small, and he is not sensible and will not wait for others. Count me as losing, work for your family for three years, and bear the gambling debt of seven taels of silver, is it okay? He said, but he burst into tears.

"If we open a church and don't give tenants, what kind of long-term work is it called?" That Cai Wuye pouted his teeth, glanced at Hongli and a few people, and said embarrassedly with his chin in his hand, "To be honest, such a small and insignificant child is useless to us now." Looking at your family like this, I can't bear it in my heart. ”

Hongli didn't expect him to say this, and when he looked at Cai Wuye, he saw that he was white and chubby, with a small round face, and his facial features were neat, only a black mole with a large broad bean on his left cheek was three inches long, like a pig's bristles, and the good end brought out the broken phase. Hongli couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: There are also kind-hearted people in the courtyard! was about to walk away, but saw Cai Wuye walk up to the woman, hold her chin with one hand, and say to a few street gangsters with a smile: "Look at it! Our five sisters-in-law are spicy and look handsome! Don't look at the yellow face, it's hungry. If you don't come to my place for three months, I'll train an old Shih Tzu to show you! A few street gangsters laughed for a while, and said:

"Yes, there is still water in Cai Ye's eyes! This mother-in-law is smeared with pot ash on her face, and the soaphorn fragrant pancreas is squeaky and washed out, which is more standard than the three ladies in front of Cai Wuye! ”

"No wonder Wang Lao Wu was reluctant to bet on the treasure!"

"Hey, old five, take the cousin for your daughter!"

"Fifth sister-in-law, go to Changxin Building with Cai Wuye to enjoy the blessings, why are you guarding this pile of cow dung with such a flower? Cai's family fire girl is also more pompous than your day! ”

"That's right." Cai Wuye smiled, turned to Wang Lao Wudao, "Take your wife to pay off the debt, and I will pay you back after only three months of waiting with me." He leaned over and looked at the fifth sister-in-law Wang, who bowed her head and was silent, and sighed: "What a beautiful fetus, the fifth child is so blessed!" ”

Fan Shijie, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, and took a step and was about to speak, when Li Wei gently tugged the corner of his clothes on the side, and whispered to Hongli Nunu: "Look at the fourth master." When Fan Shijie looked at Hongli, his face was already gloomy, shaking the fan with one hand, gritting his teeth and sneering without saying a word. Cai Wuye glanced at Hongli a few times, and persuaded Wang Lao Wu: "Don't hesitate, I will treat her well, and when I return you, I will compensate you!" ”

"Okay Cai Yeli, if you raise your noble hand, I'll go over." Wang Lao Wu blushed awkwardly, "I am a serious farmer, and she is also a good family - I owe you seven taels of silver, I will earn my life and die for you, and I will earn it for you in half a year, is it okay?" I can't earn it, I ...... I ...... "What you say is better than what you sing, your 'family' slapped your ass and flew away, I looked for Li Zhengtai to go to the sea for you to catch paperwork and get you?" There is no father and son in the casino, what hand am I raising? Cai Wuye looked at Wang Wuniang in a daze, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, laughing at poverty and not prostitution, who is ashamed?" What's more, I didn't dominate my fifth sister-in-law for a long time, and after waiting for a few months, she came back as usual. To be honest, I'm also afraid that the dominatrix at home will bully the fifth sister-in-law! Seeing that the woman was just covering her face and crying, a street gangster next to her whispered to Cai Wuye: "Fifth Master, stay for a while, these provincial nephews who eat in the house will come back and invite trouble." ”

One sentence reminded Cai Wuye that this is not a human market, it is a place for hungry people to gather, and it is not a trick for the hungry people to come back from dinner and arouse public anger. He suddenly flipped his face and sneered: "Good, good! If you have the ability to gamble, you have the ability to bear! I don't want you stinky woman anymore, pull him this girl, and go-I think who dares to stop me?! He glanced sideways, sniffed and turned his face. A few street bastards shouted, pounced on them with their sleeves and arms, and couldn't help but tear and drag, pulling out the crying girl from Wang Wu's sister-in-law's arms and dragging it away. The woman was completely powerless to chase after her, and lay on her back to the sky and just screamed: "God! Just open your eyes and see...... Oh my darling...... Wang Lao Wu, you shameless, sell my daughter......" Cai Wuye sneered and said: "If you want your daughter to change, figure it out for a while and come for a while - I'll make the bed and wait for you!" - Go! A few people shouted and left.

"Slow!"

Hongli finally couldn't help it, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said loudly: "Shouldn't he give you seven taels of silver?" I paid you back. People stay! A few street bastards looked at the three people dressed up, although they were not luxurious, but they were not shabby, Hongli's chic bearing, and the black and ugly pupils shone brightly, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant made them even more frightened. Stunned, the girl had broken free and jumped back into her mother's arms. Cai Wuye turned his face, glanced at Hongli up and down, and said, "Foreigner, you must know that this is Jinling City!" He owes a debt to people, not money. People, it's already mine. ”

"Even if it's yours, I'll buy it!"

"Cheng, seventy taels of silver will be given to you."

Hongli's delicate face was twisted, blood poured all over his face at once, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly. Li Wei has been waiting for this young master since he was a child, and he has never seen him angry like this, so he subconsciously shuddered, and when he looked around, he saw that the four brothers of the Xing family were slowly coming over, and he felt a little relieved. Hongli said with a cruel smile, touched the silver ticket into his sleeve, only to know that he didn't bring it, Fan Shijie hurriedly took out a silver ticket from the boot page and handed it over, and said, "Fourth master, this is a hundred taels." Cai Wuye didn't expect Hongli to be willing to pay ten times the price to fight, but he was stunned, smiled loudly, and said, "I won't sell it!" ”

"Sell, you can't do it; If you don't sell it, I'm afraid you won't be able to. Li Wei said coldly on the side, "This girl's owner is Wang Lao Wu, not your surname Cai." In the land of Jinling's three-foot king's law, I can't imagine that there are bullies like you, robbing children for prostitution, and molesting women in public, have you lived enough? Fan Shijie once served as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and he was even more familiar with the "Great Qing Law", so he said: "The gambling debt law does not recourse, if you owe it, you owe you, and even Wang Lao Wu does not have to repay this debt." You thief is so bold that you dare to do such evil in broad daylight! ”

Cai Wuye stared sideways at a few Cheng Yanjin who came out halfway, smiled hesitantly, and said: "You seem to be from the yamen of our city, thinking that I, Cai Yuncheng, am just a Kaixingyuan." Right? Let me tell you, even if Li Zhengtai is here, he can't intervene in this matter! This is the messenger of the first three Belle Lords in Beijing, and he wants to buy a few girls, and the priest comes out to send them in, and the big inner envoy calls them! The debt he owes, he is willing to pay the debt with a woman. Why, how dare you stand in the way? Li Wei and Fan Shijie originally thought that the surname Cai was just a prostitute shopkeeper, but they didn't expect that they would even take Hongshi with them later, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and they all shot their eyes to Hongli. Hongli's eyes jumped, he also felt a little surprised, and then sneered, but raised his head arrogantly and said nothing. Li Wei saw the four brothers of the Xing family coming over, and broke off:

"Take it!"

"Wow!"

Xing Jianye, Xing Jianmin, Xing Jianzhong, and Xing Jianyi responded in unison, turned around and pounced on Cai Yuncheng. A few street gangsters were so frightened that they turned around and fled, and were caught up by Xing Jianyi and Xing Jianzhong, who were beaten with fists and kicks, and knelt in front of Li Wei, and kowtowed to forgiveness: "Don't do our business, but I want to eat Cai Wu-Cai Yuncheng A few wine money, follow up and have a good time...... Good man, don't have a knowledge with us who are indiscriminate, and defile your hands and feet......" Then Cai Yuncheng was caught by Xing Jianmin's back-twisting arm, but he was still unconvinced, and asked with sharp eyes: "Which of you is from the yamen?" Beware of the top of your head! Our third master is now the first person next to the Long Live Lord, even Zhang Zhongtang and Ezhongtang also have to look at our master! I'm afraid that you will be easy to loosen the rope and difficult to loosen! ”

"Fart, slap his mouth!" Hongli suddenly shouted angrily, "Tell him to pretend to be someone from the Emperor's Brother's Mansion!" ”

Xing Jianyi has the most irritable temperament among the brothers, and he agreed and slapped him with a "snap", but Cai Yuncheng was already deaf in one ear, and he kept scolding: "Good, good!" Well played! You little white face - I'll fuck you eighteen generations......" Xing Jianyi saw that he had meat in his mouth, where could he scold again, he opened his bow left and right, and he crackled and beat him indiscriminately, Cai Yuncheng's mouth was covered with blood, and he didn't know what to scold. The Wang family hated him very much, so he dug out a handful of fishy and shameful wet mud from the underground rutted nest, and when he went up, he was covered with a mouth full of noses, and he pulled off the lock of hair on Cai Yuncheng's face with his hand. Cai Yuncheng was a carp, screaming in pain, and he had already fainted.

"Hit! Hit hard! Hongli was still pacing back and forth angrily, "Don't be afraid of him pretending to be dead!" ”

Li Wei suddenly woke up at this time: Hongli wanted his life-because it could neither be judged nor judged-and he also had this idea. It's just that at this time, the hungry people who had eaten the house meal had already returned to the temple one after another, and stood in a large group to listen to Wang Laowu's family crying. Xing Jianye understood, strode forward, kicked Cai Yuncheng, who was as soft as noodles, stepped on his chest secretly, and said with a smile: "This piece of stinky meat is also worthy of being an errand for Lord Sanbeile?" It's insulting! Cai Yuncheng was plotted by this, he breathed a long breath of blood foam, stretched out his legs, and was already whining and mourning, at this time, he had already alarmed the soldiers on the other side of the porridge shed, and they all seemed to rush over to see, seeing that it was the chief officer Fan Shijie present, no one dared to come and ask. Fan Shijie also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, called Yin Gui, and ordered: "This guy robbed the people's daughter, and Li Zhengtai bumped into him." Kill the hearts of the people on the spot - you go to the Nanjing prefect's yamen for the record. This stinky corpse is quickly transferred to the human field and burned. The plague in the spring famine season is not fun. Hongli didn't seem to pay attention to what they said, strolled back, and said to Li Wei: "Tell that Wang Lao Wu to go to the porridge shed over there, and I still have something to ask them." ”

"Yes!"

Li Weigong replied respectfully, turned his face and commanded a few more words, and Fan Shijie hurried to catch up with Hongli and came to the porridge shed. Those shackers all knew the identity of this young man at this time, moved stools and tables, made tea and poured water, and finally stopped for a while, and settled Hongli Li Wei and the three of them in the south shed, and they all retreated far away to listen to the greeting. Wang Lao Wu's family of five had already come in mud and water, and they came in and knelt down in a row.

"You are very angry, not as much as your mother-in-law!" Hongli took a breath lightly, took a sip of tea, frowned and put down the bowl again, "Gambling money has already violated the criminal law, selling children, and it is not a father's business." ”

"Sir...... What the old man said was...... The villain is also very poor, and he wants to return to his hometown, so he has no choice but to ......" Wang Laowu's eyes were full of tears, and he stammered and kowtowed, "The great kindness of the master, my family can't repay it if they become cattle and horses...... I don't dare to gamble anymore, I just die to earn money and go back to my hometown...... In fact, selling my daughter, my heart is like a knife. You are a good person, just spare me. I don't dare anymore......"

"Hmm." Hongli heard him speak incoherently and unruly, so he turned his face and asked Wang, "You are from Henan, which county?" ”

Wang lowered his head, covering the torn placket that had just been torn, and he had completely lost the desperate momentum, and said shyly: "If you go back to your father, we are from Huangtai Town, Fengqiu County. Hongli was stunned for a moment and said, "Huangtai? Tang Shi Wu Zetian title, there is a poem called "Huangtai Melon Ci", very famous, isn't it where you are? Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know." However, it is true that the watermelons in our village grow well. During the Hongzhi period of the former Ming Dynasty, a great flood passed, and the land was gone. It became a river and said nothing. ”

"How many people are there here in your county?"

"More than two hundred."

"Don't you want to go back to your hometown?"

Wang raised his head and stared at Hongli and sighed, "I want to ...... in my dreams But when I went back, there was no grain, there was no planting, there was no livestock and farming tools, and I still couldn't plant the land. Tanaka Cheng is a clean official, but we don't understand that we don't allow planting of ripe land by ourselves, forcing people to open up wasteland! The barren land is barren again-sand barren-master, don't you just want to have a peaceful life when you go back? Lijia Chang banged the gong all day long to open up the wasteland, and the hearts of the people were broken. Alas......"

Hongli stood up, paced leisurely beside the cleaned porridge pot, and then stood at the entrance of the shed, squinting at the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake and the hungry people waiting for their next meal. After a while, he took a breath and said, "Reclamation, Tanaka Cheng did nothing wrong. There are some places in southern and western Henan where there is little land and many people, and there is barren land. Don't complain about Tanaka Cheng, the next state and county don't know anything, take the reclamation to join him, and there are also people who please him. "Wang Lao Wu's family thought that Hongli was in trouble and killed people, and they would definitely escape, but when they saw his formation, they knew that there was a big future, and they looked at him. It's just that Hongli is only seventeen or eighteen years old, clean and cool, and he looks like a son, and he can't guess his identity anymore. Li Wei remembered that he had to see off Hongli at night, and was about to speak, but Hongli asked him: "These more than 200 people are sent back to their hometowns, how much silver do you estimate?" ”

"We have calculated this in the yamen." Fan Shijie saw Li Wei looking up and calculating, and said with a smile on the side, "Adults and children are all calculated, and each person gets five taels." The fourth master wanted to send them back, and the slave allocated the silver. Hongli thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't want to alarm the government, this silver will be cushioned out of the two of you first, and the next time I go to Beijing to pay you back in my mansion's account room." ”

When he said this, Li Wei and Fan Shijie both laughed. Li Wei said: "The fourth master also underestimates the minions. This is the merit of the master, that is, the errand of the slave. The slave has become such a big official, and this idea of filial piety is still stammered. Rest assured, this matter will be done tomorrow. Ye Panhuan will also go north in a few days, maybe he will pass by them, and the slaves will not dare to fool him. ”

"That's it, I'll let the government send you back." Hongli touched the little girl's head and said, "Go back and plant the land well, don't run away." As for the matter of reclamation, Tanaka Cheng has already understood, and a few days ago, he said, 'Xu officials are lawless, and they use the name of land reclamation to force the people to flee, and today it is known that the government should be in charge of the situation' - he has already understood that he is a Qing official, and he will not let you leave your hometown again. ”

Wang Laowu's family didn't seem to understand it, but Hongli meant to understand: you don't have to beg for food all the way, and you can live in peace when you return to your hometown. Adults and children stared at Hongli as if they were looking up at a god, and muttered a prayer: "Please leave a name for us, master." We will give you a tablet of immortality...... Your old man is so good, the sky will definitely take care of you as the top champion, and the prince will be the ...... on behalf of you" Hongli just smiled secretly when he heard this, turned around and went out, and said to Fan Shijie: "Reward them with twenty taels of silver, and go back to buy farm tools and livestock." ”

Li Wei and Fan Shijie accompanied Hongli back to the governor's yamen in the city, and it was already getting late. The three of them entered the compound from the Yimen together, only to see that the front of the council hall was already full of officials, large and small, the capital and the county were busy sweating and arranging the banquet table, the family members hung lamps and carried the seat cushions and moved the screens like lanterns, and some people shouted: "Please ask Mrs. Xian in the inner courtyard, has the master of the table returned?" Hongli smiled and said, "Li Wei, if you don't come back here, you will become a kingbee, and even Cui'er is busy." I'm hungry, so let's have some snacks at Cui'er's to fight the famine. Li Wei said: "Please take care of Lao Fan." I'll go in with my grandfather and come out again when the feast begins. Because he saw that Hongli had gone away, he came over and entered the hospital together. From afar, I heard Mrs. Cui'er say loudly: "Is the person who went to find the master back?" Come back and tell him to come and see me quickly! The master loves cleanliness and elegance, and the bells and whistles screen go aside! But the picture of the dragon, phoenix, bamboo, pine and crane is only afraid that it will still fit - are you dead in the doorway? Go, put that purple sand tea set - oops, it's the master who is back! Really, everywhere in such a outfit - ouch! What's wrong with my eyes now, isn't this our young master? She chattered, and when she saw that Hongli was also there, she clapped her hands and knees and came over to say goodbye, and praised the dust on Hongli's body, and sighed in her mouth: "I fell into this chicken eye when I was a child, and I was a blind man at this time every day, and I didn't see my young master!" The dead ghost didn't say a word, but stood and looked at my diorama. Fourth master, I'm afraid you haven't been here for three or four months, right? I look forward to it every day, but I just can't let go of it. Say goodbye in the past, every day is made. He said that the fourth master has something to say, except for the New Year's holidays, he doesn't call me over! I'm afraid that the fourth master will have the reputation of being a 'Minister of Transportation' - I think, I am different from others, I am Kangxi forty-six years ago with the master Long Live Lord in front of the mother. To put it mildly, the fourth master is in the basin or I am waiting for hot water! That's really surprising, the incense that fills the courtyard, the candles in the house are somehow so red and bright, even the window paper is reflected red. The master cried out, and the rattling sound was as bright as a golden bell, and the minions of the three courtyards were stunned when they heard it: The master is a very different life for the noble, the rich, and the great, this is doomed! The old master was meditating at the time, and you know that his old man's temper has nothing to do with the fall of the sky - he also opened his eyes and listened for a long time before he settled down again - it was really strange! ”…… One head said, and the other head and Li Wei hugged Hongli into the hall. Please Hongli sat in the center, knelt down with Li Wei like a candle and bowed three times, got up and ordered repeatedly: "Send snacks to the master first, make tea!" ”

"Yes!"

The old lady inside and outside the girl saw that Li Weicuier was kneeling, and they all knelt down with "sigh", and at the moment they hurriedly agreed to go out to Zhang Luo, there was already a big girl holding a few egg flower spring rolls, two small steamed buns, and a few pieces of delicate palace points in, and the little girl in the back followed cautiously with a bowl of tea. Cui'er and Li Wei hurriedly took it over and placed it in front of the Hongli table in person, and Cui'er said, "Please use it for the master." The master likes to use my bad goose paws, because he said that you are going back to Beijing, and you have packed up and loaded the car. There are also shoes made for the emperor's mother, and the emperor said that they are better than the fitting ironing made by those needlework people in the Ouchi, and I also asked someone to seal the box and bring it. The emperor's mother is still thinking about me, an old village girl, if she has nothing to do, she can't repay me if she is distracted. Li Wei is not a good figure, the young master sees that he is old, so he can find him an idle yamen in Beijing. I also have to go into the palace often to see our old and young masters, the master Niangniang, he can still enter Beijing from time to time, I can only do it, and remember the master's heart is ten times stronger than him! He wiped his tears as he spoke. Li Weidao: "On a happy day, what are you crying about?" Really, I'm not afraid of the fourth master laughing! Cui'er burst into tears and smiled: "I am really, half old and more and more colorless." I saw the master's love! Our old master is a Buddha with a compassionate heart, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, pulling out hardships to save difficulties and subduing demons. This young master, take a closer look, this appearance, this figure, this spirit, and this heart and knowledge, dressed up as Guanyin is Guanyin, and dressed up as a Buddha is a Buddha! ”

Hongli listened to her one after another while eating snacks and sipping tea, and got out of the complicated government affairs. Yin smiled: "You are going to become a 'fast-talking Li Cuilian'!" Waiting in my study that day, I was still stuffy like a gourd! I will take your heart as an attachment to the master, which is called not forgetting the roots. Li Wei governed the two rivers well, and the governors and departments listened to him, and they got along well. Liangjiang is the fundamental place of wealth in the world, and it is impossible not to have a capable confidant minister sitting here, so I can't think of going back to Beijing now, and I will naturally speak for you when the time comes. Long live the Lord is also worried about you all the time, and I am afraid that the servants under the door will not be able to become officials outside, which will ruin his old man's reputation, and I am afraid that I will be tired of you. He wants to wait for the new deal to have an eyebrow, learn from the Holy Grandfather, and also want to tour the south, it is necessary to live in your house. Now that Li Wei is going to Beijing, he can also take you. You are a good order, and it is also the proper meaning of the title to follow him into Beijing to meet the master, the master's mother. It's easy to meet, so why be sad? He took two more sips of tea and said in a deep voice, "At today's feast, I will say that I will leave in five days." Actually, I'm going to leave the night after tomorrow. ”

"Fourth Master!" Li Wei looked at Hongli in surprise and said, "Nanjing officials want to send it to the suburbs!" If you want to be micro-suited, you can just change your disguise on the road. Five days later, I suddenly said that you have already gone, and I am afraid that the next person will talk about it, so please ask the master to ......" Hongli nodded, and his tone became a little heavy: "I didn't want to make a big fanfare, and I can also see the spring scenery along the way and observe some of the feelings." I'm afraid you'll have to send some people to keep it up secretly, as if I don't think it's safe. ”

Cui'er and Li Wei's eyes moved. Li Wei frowned and pondered, but Cui'er said: "Nanjing people say that the Six Dynasties are prosperous with gold powder, what can people not come out?" Back then, Zhong Saburo, the third prince of Zhu, had a nest of thieves, and he set up a red-clothed cannon on Piluyuan Mountain to assassinate the Holy Grandfather during his southern tour. There are many thieves and thieves in the miscellaneous places there, where can they be caught in one go? The slave maid went to the Jiming Temple some time ago to make incense, and saw a Taoist priest who traveled to the party, saying that it was the Red Yang Sect, using an iron shovel to rip open the bluestone slab, planting a gourd and pouring boiling water, chanting a mantra, and at that time it grew gourd buds, and the silk-like vines and vines were drawn and flowered and formed gourds, and there were thousands of people who watched in circles! I said that he was a man of the word, and gave fifty taels of silver. came back and told him that he sent someone to fetch the Taoist priest, saying that it was the 'White Lotus Sect' demon way to confuse the people. Something is going to happen to the fourth master, maybe it's these thieves! After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but shudder, clasped her hands together and murmured, "Amitabha! Li Wei asked, "Fourth master, can you tell the slave about that poem?" ”

"There is no malice in the poem." Hongli rubbed his hands uneasily, "It seems that you are playing with me, and someone is plotting against me when you call the police." As for the man who plotted against me, he said that he was a very powerful man. In fact, as long as Li Wei has a little knowledge, or has read the "Book of Songs", he knows that the word "wagtail" specifically refers to brothers, except for Hongshi, there is no second person, but he doesn't understand. But Li Wei is a very talented person, a well-known "stalker", and he has faintly heard the meaning of Hongli's pun from the words "extremely powerful". He immediately froze his brows and said, "Fourth Master, I remember that the year before last, when you went to Shandong for disaster relief, there was a Huoju Taoist priest named Wu Blind, who killed three court officials in Laiwu and surrendered in public. Later, you found out that these three officials were dirty officials who embezzled disaster relief funds, and he was only sentenced to be beheaded and imprisoned. I have already released him and made up for him as the patrol leader of the Yamen of Shandong Zhensi. A month ago, I was worried that my grandfather would return to Beijing and would not be able to drive without escort, so I wrote a letter asking Shandong to release people over. Wu Blind is the closed disciple of Hu Fushan, the swordsman of Zhongnan, and there is no undefeated one in seven rounds with him, so he is nicknamed 'Seven Steps Impermanence'. Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, he has countless underworld friends, no matter what, stop and wait for him to come and go, otherwise invite the Duanmu family to come and become a master. From here to Beijing Guanshan thousands of miles, how can the slave be relieved? The slave has to accompany the master in person. Cui'er also misses the old master, so she simply follows, and there are also people who serve the soup and water, can it be? ”

Hongli said with a smile: "I'll just tell you casually, pay more attention to the security here, you just make a fuss, it's an extension of the trip, it's waiting for someone, and it's an escort!" Life and death, you will make everything thorough, and you will keep me safe? Do as I just said, you only send a message along the way, this is the rule of the Qincha. Now it's not a chaotic time, the law and discipline in the Taiping world are strict, I pretend to be a ghost, which makes people laugh! ”

Li Wei was about to speak, but when he saw Yin Jishan and Fan Shijie followed by Mao Xiaoxian, the envoy of the inspection, and there was also a six-rank official, wearing a heron supplement suit with a black and red face, and followed Mao Xiao's head and walked in with a square step, but he didn't know him, so he stopped.
