Chapter Seventy-Two: Joints

As for the person who made the master prepare to greet him, it was the Great Chu Emperor.

Su Wenhai only mentioned this matter in the letter.

The cause of the incident was also because of Su Xiu.

Liangzhou and other places in the north of Chu State were due to the drought in the Han Dynasty in summer, resulting in no grain harvest.

There is a great famine, the people are miserable, and the people are struggling to make a living.

Despite the financial support of Xuzhou, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Liangzhou Assassin Shi tried his best and tried his best to barely maintain the status quo ante and did not make the situation worse.

If it weren't for the most elite cavalry in Liangzhou, it would have been invaded by the enemy country when it was empty.

And because of their own inaction, the situation in Liangzhou has gradually intensified.

Especially the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, because of the red-eyed Su Xiu in the sleepless city of Fengqi County.

openly impeached Su Xiu above the temple and made a lot of nonsense.

said that he was domineering in the fish and meat town, robbed the people's daughters, and opened the green building to collect money, just like when he was in Kyoto.

And Emperor Chu, who was already thinking about how to solve the first two problems because the first two of the treasury was not enough, suddenly found an outlet.

Then he held a court meeting, ready to take a group of ministers, and led Su Wenhai to let him come to see his good son.

Su Wenhai naturally didn't believe that his son had changed back to before, but because of his will, he had to come with the emperor.

Su Xiu looked at the few words his father wrote about this matter, and understood that his father did not take this matter seriously.

Every time I think of this, I smile.

I didn't expect this cheap old man to still trust his son very much.

No one believes in the words of the Criminal Department's Shangshu and discredits the remarks.

Su Xiu lowered his head and counted the days.

According to the time of the letter, it is estimated that in three or five days, the Emperor of Chu and the important ministers of the court will arrive.

Su Xiu tightened the beads in his hand and held them in his arms.

Get up and boil water and take a bath.

After removing the dust from his body, he went out to the city that never sleeps.

At that time, the lively city that never sleeps has slowly cooled down.

Su Xiu entered the city that never sleeps, and slowly stomped on the first floor of the city that never sleeps.

As soon as I walked into this city that never sleeps, I saw a group of people gathering not far away.

Step forward.

It turned out to be a few tricks.

Seeing the few people in the crowd performing fire-breathing tricks, they stopped looking at it for a while.

"Old and young masters, cheer more, how about we give you a fire spit and change your face!"

The people formed a circle and coaxed one after another.

The performer in the middle didn't say much, but after explaining it clearly, he began to perform.

I saw a thin iron rod in his hand, and there was this cluster of flames at the head of the rod.

This person directly speaks of the fire and swallows it in his mouth.

The surrounding people exclaimed.

Then, the performer spits out and exhales.

A flame eventually erupted from this man and rose into the sky.

Repeat the same movement five or six times, and then match it with the face mask on your face.

It's good-looking.

The surrounding people cheered again and again.

The people who watched threw money on the ground.

At this time, there was a child on the side, holding a tray in his hand, walking around the whole place and collecting some money.

even threw two taels of silver directly into the tray.

The children at the playground thanked them again and again.

The atmosphere was so lively for a while.

It is in stark contrast to the city that never sleeps, which should have been dispersed at this time.

The middle actor didn't seem to get tired, and performed this over and over again.

Su Xiu was not in a hurry, just standing in the crowd.

Pay attention, watch the men in this crowd spit fire and change their faces to perform.

There was no expression on his face, but he was quite playful in his heart.

I didn't expect these martial artists that my own Lao Tzu photographed for himself to be quite versatile.

Su Xiu blended into the crowd perfectly, cheering and applauding with the people.

Although the performance is wonderful, at this hour, everyone can't waste it here.

After a while, the crowd slowly dissipated.

There are fewer and fewer onlookers.

Gradually, only a dozen people remained.

Subsequently, five people, two people.

In the end, until he was gone, only Su Xiu was left around.

The man who spit fire saw that all the people around him were gone, and only Su Xiu was left.

walked to the side and took off his costume, picked up the coarse cloth beside him to wipe the sweat beads off his face, and tidied up his appearance.

After finishing everything, he walked in front of Su Xiu.

"This son, the performance has been completed, if you want to see it, you can come back tomorrow, we are here, we are going to end the class."

The man's tone was amiable, and he smiled innocently.

"Oh? That's it, it's okay, I'm just here to shop, and when I saw the excitement here, I changed to shop. ”

"How many of you are in the troupe? What about the others? ”

The man scratched his head innocently.

"Childe, there are fifty people in our drama troupe this time, and today it's just a few of us who are out of class."

"The rest of the people are at home, what, do you want to see the others?"

As soon as Su Xiu heard this, he understood that the honest man in front of him knew him.

At the same time, tell yourself that someone else is near the mansion.

He pursed his lips and took out the bead that he had juggled with his left hand from his bosom.

Inadvertently, he shook in front of the man's eyes.

"I'm curious, I don't even know you... How do you know me? ”

When the man saw that Su Xiu had made his identity clear, the man didn't pretend anymore.

I took a look around privately and found that at this hour, there were few people in the city that never sleeped, and no one looked at this side.

The man smiled and said, "Hehe, in the capital, who doesn't know your prime minister's son, Su Xiu." ”

Su Xiu nodded and smiled.

"Teasing me? Forget it, I'll just think you're praising me. ”

The man hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare your subordinates ridicule adults."

Su Xiu waved his hand generously: "It's nothing, I used to be young and frivolous, and I was really annoyed by a lot of mistakes." ”

"What do you think of my Fengqi County?"

The man was silent for a moment.

"It's good, it's a lot better than I expected, even a world of difference."

Su Xiu pursed his lips.

"What, in your impression, the people in Fengqi County are in dire straits?"

The stout man in front of him pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

Su Xiu understood that it was completely Su Wenhai's order for these people to protect him.

Although they will also do their duty, this is not what Su Xiu wants.

What Su Xiu wants is that the entire Tianji Gate is happy and convinced of himself.

It is an organization that will help you in the future, and it is a great help for yourself.

Not just a bunch of obedient people who only follow orders.

Su Xiu saw that the man didn't speak, so he understood what he was thinking.

"I know that you have come to protect me at my father's command."

"I have come to you tonight to tell you that if one day I become a traitor or oppress the people, you will be gone."

"I believe that you, who have been running in the market all the year round and are engaged in the lower ninth class, will find it even more difficult to understand what this Fengqi County is like."

"What I need is a group of like-minded people, and I want to make sure that the people of Dachu can afford to eat and wear shirts."

"Let the people of Dachu be the same as this Fengqi County."

These words echoed in the man's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
