At the city gate of Moling County,

Two tall black horses, pulling a black and red carriage slowly in, the heavy carriage painted with intricate gilt patterns has been stained with mud spots, the carriage comes in the dust without much pomp, but just the system of this carriage has already represented too many things, not like the ordinary rich and noble people can have.

When the groom who drove casually raised the token in his hand, he and the soldiers on the city tower subconsciously straightened his back, just looking at the carriage below in a daze, not knowing how there could be such a noble person in this small border town.

The coachman saw the mottled words on the head of the city and tightened the reins,

The carriage came to a steady stop outside the city gates.

"Master, it's time to Moling!"

The attendant who called for Ren Zhi knocked lightly on the wooden door.

"People are getting old. ”

"After this trip, my body is about to fall apart. ”

After a while, the wooden planks of the carriage were slowly pushed away, and the old man in regular clothes stretched his muscles and bones and chuckled and then stepped off the carriage, the soles of his boots stepped on the solid roadside, and the whole person was much more comfortable.

"When the last news of the spy department came yesterday, people were still on their way to the city, and now it's not too late for us to calculate the hour, and the old man of the master has almost arrived, are we waiting here or going into the city to see?"

"Let's get into town!"

Qin Qingtang stood outside the city gate and straightened the clothes on his body very seriously, straightened the wrinkles on the top, and meticulously compacted the few strands of hair that were raised, and then looked up at the low city, this trip to put down many chores of the court was to come here to see Chen Wenzhi on his last journey.

"Sir, this vacation is too long. ”

"Will the situation in the court change too much?"

Calling Ren Zhi's entourage worried, more than ten years ago, when His Royal Highness's 100 poems of fighting wine had not been sent back to the dry realm, there was a secret letter sent back to Shangjing, a Yingchuan celebrity for Xun Yu will enter Shangshu Province, and there is His Royal Highness's payment at the bottom, and the handwriting is also written by His Highness himself, speaking of which, this is the first time His Royal Highness has replied so solemnly, which shows the position of this person in His Highness's heart.

"Change. ”

"Where's the change?"

"The old man stabilized the court in Shangjing, from His Majesty's accession to the throne to the court situation has now been generally stabilized, the general framework of this room has been built, and now His Royal Highness has added some objects to some positions, isn't it common sense?"

Qin Qingtang walked on the long street and said softly, the entourage beside him has been by his side for more than ten years, and the last time he withdrew from the prime minister's mansion to block in front of him, an extremely subtle move made him feel a little bit again, so he is willing to explain many things, and if he is interested in his career, he will not be stingy to mention it.

"Let it be, the position in the court. ”

"A radish is a pit, someone has to go up, someone has to retreat. ”

"Now the old man's body is not good, this eight or nine hundred miles of official roads can't stand it, and his energy is not as good as before, some things don't matter whether His Highness has this meaning or not, it is also excellent to divide some things in his hands and release some power in his hands. ”

"This trip to the south has been won. ”

"His Royal Highness returned to Beijing and thought that the original charter should continue, the old man has to finally pave a layer of road for His Royal Highness, paving the way, if the old man is still alive, he will resign and go home to recuperate, and it is also excellent to tease his children and grandchildren. ”

"Paving the way?"

"Master, what way?"

Ren Zhi was surprised, now that the southern expedition has won a big victory and returned to Beijing, it should be a matter of celebration for the whole world, and it should be time for the territory to recuperate, and he doesn't understand what else is worth making such a big move.

"A road to heaven!"

Qin Qingtang paused and continued,

"One can eradicate the dynastic disease in one fell swoop. ”

"A good way for all ages!"

"Building this road will kill a lot of people, but it's worth it. ”

"Master, that's ......"

Ren Zhi hesitated, and heard the dead man suddenly worry about his heart.

"The old man also thought about it before Liangzhou Iron rode into Beijing, but when he thought about it, he only felt frightened, and often woke up in the middle of the night, with countless thorns on the road, and the mountains and rivers were incomparably steep. ”

"But now that His Royal Highness has overcome all obstacles, it is not a big problem, and if it is done, it will be the well-being of the people of the world. ”

"But you ...... sir"

"No problem, somebody has to do something. ”

"If it doesn't work, you won't lose a life. ”

"If an official has merit, then there is an official family. “

"If it's still the case. ”

"I think I will follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty. ”

Qin Qingtang smiled freely, the family gate valve has been sick for a long time, and now it is the founding of the country, and His Royal Highness has returned with the victory of the army is the best opportunity to cut off the door valve.

As for whether the new generation of founding heroes will become the next batch of family valves, Qin Qingtang also thought about it for a long time, but when that young man said what he thought in his heart, he suddenly realized that he was shocked.

"Master, Gao Yi!"

Ren Zhi wiped his nose and shouted.

"This trip will pick up someone by the way, and His Highness should arrive on the counting day. ”

"Go back to Beijing and the army together, walk slower and have more than ten days of effort, on the way by the way and His Royal Highness to finalize the specific regulations, in the future, the old man's old bones have to be loose, and pave the road flat before falling apart. ”

"Descendants are not so awkward!"

Qin Qingtang stretched out his lower arm and chuckled.

......

On the long street,

The flowing mat has not stopped,

There is an endless stream of guests coming to the high gate and outdoors.

The groom's face was already drunk, but there were more elders during the banquet, and they really couldn't get out of their bodies and had to toast frequently, the corner of his eyes fell on the old Taoist, looking at the fairy Taoist Taoist who drank alone, and unconsciously the whole jar of wine was empty, but he looked slightly drunk as he was at the beginning, drunk but not poured, it seemed that there was no difference between a glass and a jar of wine!

"Dao Chief, good amount of wine!"

In the end, the groom official didn't know how to drink, so he simply sat down next to the old Taoist, gave a thumbs up and took a sip of wine and praised loudly, one hand hooked his shoulder on the old Taoist's shoulder, and the other hand was extremely natural on the empty wine jar that the old Taoist priest had drunk.

The groom is also a real person, the guest who raised the glass just raised his glass and saw the groom who was sleeping next to the old Taoist priest, looking at the empty wine jar with his right hand and smacking his tongue secretly, and did not dare to persuade again.

The old Taoist priest smiled and didn't say much,

Just looking at the scene here, I inexplicably remembered the scene of my little ancestor marrying in the future, and I always felt that the Chinese cabbage that I had raised for more than ten years was going to be arched by pigs, although both the identity and the skin bag were the top ones in the world, and even this thing was not a word, but how uncomfortable it was, because that day would always come, maybe this is the mentality of the old father in later generations.

A slapped the mouth of the altar, and the mud was shattered,

"No one will chase after the buttocks, one ancestor at a time, no one will shout every day in the future, the fish will eat rock sugar gourds, and no one will ...... in the future."

The old Taoist priest muttered in a low voice,

There is always a lingering resentment between words,

Or vinegar,

Raise your head and pour down a sip of wine,

Looking at the little ancestor who was looking at the "cave room" in a daze on the left,

I don't know why I have always been smiling at myself without waves,

Now it has become sad and sad,

I just want to get drunk,

The old Taoist priest suddenly remembered the middle-aged man's muttering sentence in the woman's house, and the wind and sand were a little bigger.

Now I know,

This wind and sand is really bigger, and it is a little blinding......

......

Outside the coffin shop,

Wei Mingfu glanced up at the sky, pulled the cart and walked hard to the city gate, after this trip out of the city, he returned to the ancestral tomb of the Chen family for more than 20 miles, at this moment, it is naturally easy to be empty-handed, but if he adds this coffin, he stops and goes according to his physical strength, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up before dark, but it is also excellent to be able to do it earlier.

After all, it is safe to enter the earth,

The people under the world have a deep obsession with the eight words of "entering the soil for peace, falling leaves and returning to the roots", and the remote land is very so, there are not a few people who break their heads and bleed for a cemetery, and for the eunuchs, it is a great blessing to be buried in the ancestral grave after death, and it can even be said that it can be said that you can wake up with a smile when you dream.

Thirteen hundred miles down,

I was also exhausted to the extreme,

Thinking about burying Chen Gong,

will be able to sleep steadily, and continue to grit his teeth and pull the scooter.

"Squeak squeak......"

The cart didn't shake anymore,

But the wooden wheel made an overwhelmed sound,

Wei Mingfu looked at the flowing water banquet lined up outdoors at the high gate, and then looked at the coffin pulled behind him, which was now covered with a white cloth from the shopkeeper.

The long street is red,

This white is like a coffin-puller,

It's out of place.

"Squeak squeak......"

Wei Mingfu just silently pulled the cart to the other side of the street, the so-called red and white happy events, usually red things let white things, but at the moment, there is no need to disturb the interest of others.

Bow your head and pull the carriage silently,

came, paused and looked at the lively scene inside, and smiled bitterly, but this is what ordinary high-ranking families look like when they marry, but Chen Gong's death is indeed so cold.

"Drive, call ......"

"Get out of the way!"

A freshly dressed and angry eunuch was driving a horse from behind the street.

The corner of the long street is only a few feet away,

The official eunuch just turned the corner and looked at the cart across the long street, and was in a hurry, not because he was afraid of hitting the person, but because he was not comfortable when he hit it.

"Bang ......"

But I still bumped into it,

The town is not a wide long street,

A board truck crosses the middle blocking a third of the street,

The collision also seems to be expected,

"Damn, you don't have eyes!"

The eunuch patted the dust on his buttocks, got up from the ground and cursed, the horse fell to the ground, fortunately there was no sharp object on the street, and neither he nor the horse was injured, but the palms and knees of his hands were scratched some skin.

"You can also meet this kind of thing if you have a happy wine!"

"Boom!"

"His grandmother's, bad luck!"

The eunuch in brocade looked at the silhouette under the white cloth, and guessed what was inside, and spit out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm on the wild man who fell to the ground and couldn't see clearly.

The children of eunuchs are used to being arrogant and domineering in the small town on weekdays, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong, as long as they don't harm people's lives for no reason, relying on being the father of the county lord, they are walking sideways like crabs in the far away place of Emperor Gao.

After calming the frightened horses, the eunuch was about to leave.

Wei Mingfu just bowed his head and said nothing,

The thick phlegm did not fall on his face, but stretched down the lock of withered yellow hair, pulling out a long silk thread, and at the front hung a lump of extremely disgusting filth.

There was no argument, no crying,

Didn't even reach out to wipe it,

I just struggled to get up and looked at the cart on the side.

Lift the white cloth,

The coffin was fine, not even a piece of patent leather had fallen, but the horses had hit the cart and the already worn wooden planks on the side had cracked a few deep and shallow cracks.

"Hoo ......"

I was suddenly relieved to see that the coffin was safe and sound.

"Click......"

An extremely subtle sound came out,

"Click, click......"

The dilapidated board car has already reached the verge of falling apart after a long time of wind and rain, and now those cracks have become the last fuse.

"Boom ......"

The heavy coffin crushed the planks on the side,

The whole poured to the ground,

Revealing the tree pattern inside the coffin,

The official eunuch who had just walked a few steps looked at the coffin that fell to the ground, and subconsciously shuddered, and the corpse inside the coffin also turned out on its side and faced the bluestone slab.

But soon I couldn't take my eyes off,

An emerald green pearl of the night rolled out,

Maybe it's providence that makes people,

There has been no shortage of troubles along the way,

Looking at the greedy look in the eyes of the eunuch's son, Wei Mingfu, who had lived in the palace for a long time, didn't know what he was thinking, and gently picked up Chen Wenzhi's corpse and covered it with a white cloth, and then closed the coffin lid with all his might, and didn't look at the pearl that night, after all, it would be buried tomorrow at the latest, so why bother with extraneous branches.

"Wait!"

"It's fate today, I met a local master!

"Come on, catch the thief!"

The eunuch's son looked at the night pearl in his hand and then at the ragged Wei Mingfu, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, and he opened his throat and shouted loudly at the big family.

This night pearl is worth a lot of money, although it is a little smaller, but according to the current world price, how can there be a thousand eight hundred taels of silver, looking at the dejected appearance of the man, I have to secretly say that I am guilty, whether it is true or not, this one must be true, this thing still belongs to himself when he enters the yamen, if it is really the finger of the Tufuzi, he may be able to torture other things.

There were many people sitting and eating outside the high gate, and listening to the familiar voice, a large group of people came up in a short time.
