Chapter Twenty-Three: Rendi

Yang Wuregret looked at Zhao Shu and asked softly, "What does Your Majesty mean, where do you want to send me out?" ”

Zhao Shu smiled here and replied, "Xichong, you will go to Xichong County to be the county magistrate!" ”

Yang Wuregret was stunned, Xichong.

He naturally knows about Xichong, the Xichong of Sichuan.

In the fourth year of Tang Wude, Nanchong and Longzhou in Xiguo Prefecture were the southern part of Langzhou and Yanting in Zizhou and Xichong County.

One of the most famous is Huang Xinshao.

Xichong's red lotus, there are red skin and yellow heart, there are yellow skin and red heart, these two kinds or red skin or yellow skin, or yellow heart or red heart of the root, that is, the native products and specialties of Xichong County.

When Yang Wuregret was a teenager, he traveled to Xichong and ate yellow heart peony.

When baked, it is extremely delicious.

It's just that there is a not very good custom in Xichong, that is, superstitious ghosts and gods, often sacrificing to gods and begging for peace.

Then there is a record in the county annals, saying that there were Xichong people who fished as a business, and once caught two small snakes, and brought them home to raise.

Unexpectedly, in the process of growing up, the snake has a horn and horns, and slowly becomes different from the snake.

Finally, on a rainy night, they turned into two flying dragons and entered the river water of Xichong.

Since then, Xichong has sacrificed to the river gods every year, begging to bless them with good weather for a year.

Yang Wuregret knows that going to Xichong must be the emperor's old man's deep meaning, but for Yang Wuregret, going to Xichong is a good thing, Xichong is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also far away from the White Lotus Sect, so since he wants to go to a distant place to be a county commander, it may not be a good thing here.

Yang Wuregret this, so he said: "Weichen thanked Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Shu waved Yang Wu regrets this.

On the way out of the palace, Yang Wuregret also sighed that the emperor was too stingy.

After he entered Beijing, he could be regarded as solving two major cases in a row, and he didn't even reward himself with anything, even if it was a yellow and white thing, he would not dislike it, you must know that yellow and white things are extremely important for anything.

The people regard food as the sky, and even if Yang Wuregret becomes an official, he doesn't think that the money he gets seriously will be criticized by others.

It would be great if he had a hundred acres of fertile land and a few maids again.

After Yang Wuregret left the palace, there were people waiting.

The old housekeeper of the Lan Shilang family was waiting for Yang Wuregret.

The old housekeeper stepped forward and said to Yang Wuregret: "Lord Yang, my family is invited!" ”

Regarding Lan Youzhi's invitation, Yang Wuregret categorically would not refuse, and he was also about to visit this Lan man.

When the old butler drove the carriage to the Lan Mansion, Lan Youzhi was already waiting in front of the door.

Yang Wuxian stepped forward and said politely: "Lan Shilang, no, how can the lower officials bother Lan Shangshu to wait for me here!" ”

Lan Youzhi smiled bitterly: "Bilian, don't make fun of me, I am still young, I am afraid that this Shangshu position, Your Majesty has other arrangements!" ”

Yang has no regrets, the surname is Yang, the name is no regrets, and the word is Bilian.

At the beginning, Bao Gong hoped that Yang Wuregret could be like Bilian, out of the mud without staining, and turbid green lotus without demons.

Now that Bilian was called by, Yang Wuregret was naturally a little unhappy.

Bilian, if you don't want to be Bilian, then don't you want Bilian.

This word seems very inappropriate.

Yang Wuregret continued: "Lord Lan summoned me here today, what is the so-called matter? ”

Lan Youzhi saw that Yang Wuregret had an official relationship with him, and he didn't care.

He said, "Bilian come with me, the wine and food have been prepared, and we will eat the poop!" ”

After arriving, Yang Wuregret originally thought that the preparation was very rich, but it turned out to be a stewed duck and two stir-fried vegetables, which made Yang Wuregret sigh, Lan Youzhi deserves to be a clear stream, but don't find countless gold in his room one day, and then he cried bitterly at Yang Wuregret, saying Bilian, I didn't dare to spend a penny!

After Yang Wuregret sat down, he began to taste.

After eating, I have to admit that this stewed duck is the most delicious stewed duck I have ever eaten in my life.

Yang Wu regretted and said: "I didn't expect Lord Lan to have such a hand, which really impressed the lower officials!" ”

Lan Youzhi said: "Bi Lian, don't talk to me, you saved me twice, and we can be regarded as friends." Besides, this duck stew is made by me, the butler, and has nothing to do with me! ”

Yang Wuregret put down his chopsticks and said, "Then I don't know what happened when Lord Lan called me here today?" ”

Lan Youzhi said: "When the official family saw Bilian today, they must be talking about Bilian's placement!" I guess with Bilian's character, she will definitely not be willing to stay in the capital, and she must want to go out and experience like Bao Gong, not only to earn qualifications, but also to continue Bao Gong's ability to punish evil and promote good. Therefore, Bilian must have chosen to be a magistrate, right? ”

Yang Wuregret smiled bitterly, it was not his own will, it was arranged by the housekeeper.

It seems that I have no qualifications to refuse at all.

However, facing Lan Youzhi, Yang Wuregret still nodded and said, "Yes, I still want to go through the experience!" ”

Lan Youzhi asked again: "But go to Xichong?" ”

Yang Wuregret was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lan Youzhi, to be honest, he was a little surprised.

"Lord Lan knew in advance?"

Lan Youzhi shook his head: "I didn't know, but now, although I am not the secretary of the ministry, I am in charge of the functions of the ministry." And my Great Song Dynasty has always been a radish and a pit, and at present, among the many counties, there are three counties with vacancies. The first two county orders were naturally transferred when their term of office expired. Only the county magistrate of Xichong County was killed, and the body has not been found so far. His Majesty has already been furious about this matter. And Bilian is a disciple of Bao Gong, Your Majesty will definitely entrust you with this most difficult task. So since you have chosen to be an official abroad, it can be said that it is inevitable to go to Xichong. ”

Yang Wuregret suddenly understood, and Lan Youzhi suddenly saw his purpose.

is not only to thank him for saving him, but also to tell himself about the difficulties of this trip to Xichong.

What the hell is this emperor doing, let himself go to Xichong, isn't this sending himself to the fire pit?

Thinking of this, Yang Wuregret had the urge to escape.

Of course, he knew he couldn't go.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Wuregret asked solemnly: "Please also ask Lord Lan to tell me how the last Xichong County Commander died?" ”

Lan Youzhi replied cautiously: "It is said that it is the river god who offended Xichong County!" ”

Yang Wuregret was stunned, what do you mean?

Lan Youzhi said again: "Although we and other officials should not believe in ghosts and gods, but in Xichong County, the river god is loved by almost everyone, so there is no regret about this trip, we must be careful!" ”

Yang Wuregret was stunned again, it seems that the problem of this Xichong is very serious!

At the same time, he also understood the intentions of the officials, but he was afraid that this matter was not simple, so he would send himself.

It's just that anyway, you have to send a thousand eight hundred Yu Linwei to go with you!

Otherwise, I will go like this, or go to Xichong single-handedly, and be who I am!
