"This brocade guard you brought, he, he..."

Swallowing his saliva, Li Kuan held Zhou Li's hand tightly, and for the first time, this county official, who had always been light and calm, showed a "frightened" look on his face:

"He's sick, he's sick!"

Li Kuan himself is not greedy, but it does not mean that he does not understand human feelings. So when he learned that the two brocade guards were going to his house, he took six taels of silver and prepared to hand them over to the other party to show his sincerity. Standing at the gate of the mansion, Li Kuan looked at the young man and the middle-aged Jinyiwei, and greeted him with a smile.

And then...

"You know the county, you still have patches on your body, what kind of system do you have?"

Looking at Li Kuan, who was sewn with patches at the hem of the robe in front of him, Qianhu frowned and scolded: "Zhixian is a nine-grade official canonized by the imperial court, and he enjoys the spirit of dragon and tiger, why do you see me with low eyebrows and knees?" Where is your majesty? ”

What about your mother, you say?

Li Kuan almost caught one of them, and the foul mouth burst out.

I'm a nine-grade sesame official playing prestige with you, a brocade guard? Why don't you let the emperor come and kowtow to me? Anyway, it's the sin of the whole family, I might as well play something big and cool before dying.

"The adults of the thousand households laughed, they are only a nine-pin county official, there is an eighty-year-old mother, and there is a three-year-old child, and the family expenses are not small, and the money is barely enough to spend, so I don't care too much about these side details."

Li Kuan's words are not leaky, and it can be said that he is the essence of the human spirit. Then, under Li Kuan's shocked gaze, Qianhu took out ten taels of silver.

"Then you should take care of your outfits, don't let others see me and think that my Ming official still has to wear patch clothes, which will damage your majesty."

Trembling and taking out ten taels of silver, Li Kuan looked at Zhou Li and said with tears in his eyes:

"Little brother Zhou Li, for the first time in my life, I received the silver from Jinyiwei, I was still a thousand households, I was afraid, the money was here, I didn't dare to spend it, I didn't dare to spend a copper plate."

Zhou Li was silent, Tang Wan scratched his cheek, and Tao Yao looked a little weird, as if he was holding back a smile.

Then, Li Kuan tearfully told the thousands of strange behaviors to the extreme. What, "Seeing that there is something missing in your county government, I will carry two pieces of wood to repair it", "Your chair legs are a little loose, I will tighten it for you", "I will buy a bucket of paint and paint the wall well, so that the people will not see your majesty", "I will teach you how to write a notice and publicize the people", "Stupid, don't you know how to grind?" I got it! ”

It's not scary anymore.

It's torture.

It's psychological pressure.

You must know that what the normal Jinyiwei said is "You can have two more beds in your ancestral grave", "Your legs are a little hard, I'll see if I can discount them", "I'll buy some gold juice and pour it into your mouth, see if you can confess", "I will teach you that if one hundred and eighty acupuncture points in the human body are shocked, will people die of incontinence".

The ghost knows if what these thousand households are talking is black, Li Kuan is afraid that this smiling Jinyi guard will cordially hack himself to death after doing all this, and then hang his head on the newly repaired beam, re-stain the county government with his own blood, and finally publicly show himself on the notice of "guilty".

My life is at rest!

Looking at Li Kuan's frightened look, and thinking of Qianhu's behavior, Zhou Li shivered directly, and Tang Guan couldn't even eat, squatting on the side with a pale face, wanting to vomit and stopping.

Tao Yao had already turned his back to Zhou Li and the others, her fragrant shoulders trembled slightly, and a silver bell-like laughter flowed out of her fingers.

"This..."

Zhou Li didn't know how to comfort the other party for a while, and after a short silence, he sighed and said to Li Kuan, who was looking forward to it:

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

"Good, good, good, good."

Li Kuan nodded like pounding garlic, and hurriedly said yes, wishing that he would run back to the county office with Zhou Li on his back now.

Tang Guan on the side cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and had already soaked the dishes and chopsticks with water. She was just about to ask, when she heard Zhou Li say to her:

"You come with me."

"Understood."

The rice worm who attempted to brush the dishes glanced at the dishes and chopsticks in the pool pitifully, and then obediently followed behind Zhou Li. After saying hello to Tao Yao, several people left Nadutong together.

Looking at the back of Zhou Li and the others leaving, Tao Yao's eyes as warm as bright jade narrowed slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The county government of Beiliang is located in the east of the city, and the location is not remote, but it is not a central location either. Because Li Kuan doesn't like luxury, since the abacus case was cleaned up, there is no decoration in it, only an empty lobby remains.

However, at this time, in the county office, a naked man with a strong upper body and a big red brocade robe tied around his waist like a belt was carrying wood in full swing, constantly repairing various objects in the county office. And on that resolute and generous face of the national character, there is only the simple smile and perseverance of the working people.

Looking at the scene of spicy eyes in front of her, Tang Guan's little face on the side was pale, but in order not to waste the food she had finally eaten, she swallowed her saliva and skimmed her head, not wanting to look at it again.

"Don't say it, it's really decent."

Seeing Qianhu jumping up with a hundred-pound of wood, casually splitting the wood in half and embedding it in the hole in the roof, Zhou Li said in amazement:

"That's a pretty good job."

"Little brother Zhou Li, please help me."

Li Kuan was like an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly said:

"Jinyi guards from other places help me repair the county office, if this spreads, what will the people think of me? What do you think of me? What does Zhizhou think of me? What if I do get promoted? ”

In fact, Zhou Li could also hear that what Li Kuan was afraid of was not that the other party would help him repair the county office, but that he was mainly afraid that after repairing the county office, the next thing to repair was Li Kuan's tomb. After all, the three words Jinyiwei are placed in officialdom, that is, digging ditches in dry toilets - sending them to death.

Uh-uh.

The corners of Zhou Li's mouth twitched, and after feeling that this Beiliang was really an outstanding person, Zhou Li stepped forward, patted Qianhu's shoulder, and said:

"Lord Qianhe, are you repairing a house? What about Guo Baihu? ”

"Oh, Zhou Li's little friend."

After seeing Zhou Li, Qianhu's smile became even brighter,

"I'm helping Lord Li Kuan fix this county office, alas, I'm also wrong to blame Lord Li Kuan, it's not that he doesn't do anything, he just can't do it. The county government of Beiliang City was so poor that he couldn't even afford the bulletin paper sold by the imperial court, so I thought it would damage the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, so I gave Guo Baihu a few taels of silver and asked him to buy the billboard paper. ”

After finishing speaking, Qianhu patted the sawdust on his hand and smiled at Li Kuan on the side. Li Kuan looked at Zhou Li and Tang Guanxiang tremblingly, asking for help.

"That's what he is."

Zhou Li patted Li Kuan's shoulder and comforted:

"You understand, Chiho is the Virgin... The disease of the saint is mainly that he likes to be helpful, and he takes the oath of Jinyiwei seriously, there is no malice, and there is really malice. ”

He smiled bitterly, and after learning that this brocade guard didn't want to give him the last supper, Li Kuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhou Li helplessly:

"Little brother Zhou Li, you suddenly came back to scare me, and gave me such a surprise, you, you."

"Report to your lordship."

Just as the misunderstanding was resolved, the familiar guards of the city suddenly burst in in a hurry. Li Kuan hurriedly supported the other party and asked:

"What's going on? Why the panic? ”

"At the city gate, there is another brocade guard."

After taking a breath, the soldier glanced at the curious Qianhu on the side with a strange expression, and then he looked at Li Kuan and said:

"The brocade-clothed guard, with sharp-eared monkey cheeks, was emaciated, and shouted at the city gate to enter the city. He said that he was a brocade guard, but he didn't have a waist card, which was very weird. ”

"Did you ask his name?"

In the face of Li Kuan's inquiry, the soldier took a breath, thought for a moment and hurriedly said: "Asked, asked, he said that his surname is Hou, and his name is ..."

"Hou Jue!"
