169. Go to Hu
"What's the matter with General Xue?"
Sima Wenzhi stopped when he heard the voice, turned around and asked.
It was the ghost general surnamed Xue who stopped him, and when he saw Sima Wenzhi turn around, he changed his previous arrogant look, and suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"There is a difference between humans and ghosts, but Xue hopes that the real person will not keep it and do his best to help my master reincarnate. When he knelt down, he pleaded, and his words were earnest.
"Since I made a promise, I will naturally keep it. Sima asked to respond.
"But I still don't know something, can the general tell me?" he replied and asked back, his words equally earnest.
"Real person, what's the matter?" Xue Mang asked as he got up.
"Even if the Ghost Monarch can be reincarnated, how can he avoid the pursuit and attack of the opponent?" asked Sima Zhizhi.
"After the reincarnation of my master, all the marks on his body will disappear and he will become no different from ordinary people. Besides..."Xue Mang said with some hesitation at the end.
"The general cherishes. ”
Seeing this, Sima Wenzhi no longer insisted on it, and turned to leave. As he walked out of the fog, Xue Mang's voice came from behind him.
"There will be no record of the heirs born in Hufu, and they have been destroyed by us before. ”
Although there is nothing else in the mist, there is no difference between the hours inside and outside the mist. After Sima Wenzhi walked out, he looked around, and knew that it was just dawn and the sky was slightly bright.
"Dao Chief. ”
As he investigated, shouts were heard in the distance. Then several people walked towards the mist, and the leader was Fang Yu County.
"Is the Taoist chief okay?" After approaching, Fang Yu asked the county order.
"Safe and sound. Sima asked, and the answer was in the affirmative.
"Is there a gain?" Fang Yu asked again with a nervous look on his face.
"It's rewarding. Sima asked, and his response was still affirmative.
While responding, there was a warm current in his heart.
Whether it is in the county government or in danger, it is to relieve the predicament here. But after Fang Yu saw him, he first asked about his safety, and then asked about the request, which made his heart warm.
"What's the result?" Fang Yu hurriedly asked again after hearing the county order, his face was full of expectation and joy.
After seven days, Fang Yu County's predicament will be eliminated, and the next three years will be abundant, and the people will be richer than before. Sima Wenzhi did not hide it, and told all the promises of the ghost king.
After hearing the county order, Fang Yu's face became more and more joyful.
Waiting anxiously, the harvest is very rich.
Everyone was overjoyed, and everyone gathered around Sima to ask him, and returned to the direction of the county office. As we reached the city gate, the fog outside the city gradually lifted.
Although it was lively on the way back, as for what happened in the fog, Sima Wenzhi had a tacit understanding with Fang Yu County Order, no one asked, and the other did not mention.
Among those who came with the crowd, there were also officials who wanted to inquire about the situation. But seeing the reaction of the two, they also avoided the matter.
Ignorance of the inside story does not affect the fulfillment of the request. Although it was only early in the morning when he returned to the county office, Fang Yu ordered the county to order people to prepare a sumptuous meal.
However, when the official received the order to leave, his face was bitter, and it was not long before he returned one after another, and the look of embarrassment on his face became more and more intense. Sima asked to guess the reason, and did not wait for the county order to ask first.
"The Taoist adheres to the mandate of heaven, and like Lord Xu, he should benefit the water and soil. I don't dare to take credit for this matter, and I don't need to break the bank, just coarse tea and light rice. ”
After Fang Yu heard the county order, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly turned guilty.
Sima asked if he could, but Langya couldn't compromise. When the servant went to buy porridge, he asked for meat, and he asked for a double portion.
Chengfeng was already hungry yesterday, but was ruthlessly repaired by Langya. Ask for an extra portion, lest it be wronged again.
After the slaughter of the official horses yesterday, there was a lot of meat leftover. The porridge had not yet been prepared, and the official had already brought the horse meat with two food boxes.
Langya had only eaten yesterday night, and it was no longer as stormy as last night.
After riding the wind to drill out, he didn't swallow in the face of a large piece of meat, but just opened his mouth and spit out his tongue and sniffed. It didn't take long for him to crawl back with a satisfied look on his face, and he didn't see any decrease in meat.
But Sima Wenzhi saw it clearly, and while sniffing in the wind, a ray of light seeped out of the horse's flesh and entered its mouth.
After another hour, the morning meal is ready. This time, Fang Yu personally brought it up and put it out one by one.
Coarse rice, white porridge.
I don't know if it's really cystic and shy, or if the subordinate is too sincere, the two servings of food are not different from what Sima asked, and there are no pickles.
Sima asked him without hesitation and accepted it calmly.
Silence in the dining room and silence in the bed is a criterion for Confucianism. But when he and Fang Yu were eating the food in their respective food boxes, he no longer cared about this and asked about the county's affairs.
Not long after, halfway through the meal, Sima Wenzhi turned the topic to Hufu.
What Fang Yu said before the county order was no different from the woman on the side of the road. Hu Jushi, the owner of the Hu Mansion, is not a royal prince, but a powerful Yuanzhi, who occupies many fields with the influence of his ancestors.
"Lord Xu, since the Hu Mansion is rich, why don't you ask Master Hu for help and beg him to give up some porridge and food to help the people tide over the difficulties?"
"I don't know that I have personally visited the door several times before, but all of them have returned in vain. Master Hu is close to the powerful, and the official orders of this county cannot restrain him, and I can't force it. Fang Yu responded after hearing the county order, and there was a lot of helplessness in his words.
After Sima asked, he nodded.
When the two were talking, there was always someone waiting on the side, it was the old servant who had relieved Fang Yu from the county order yesterday. His lips twitched when he heard the conversation, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Sima asked, and asked.
The old servant looked at the prefectural order and did not respond directly. Fang Yu also had doubts and motioned for him to speak directly.
"Lord Xu came to Fang, and Master Hu also gave relief. It was only that the famine was endless, and the county was affected by the disaster, so he could not afford it, so he gradually stopped giving food. The old servant had no worries and told the secret.
It seems that the reason why this person no longer insists on giving is simply because there is no hope for a successor. Sima Wenzhi muttered after hearing this.
"Lord Xu, are you willing to go to Hu's Mansion with me? The predicament here will be lifted in a few days, ask Master Hu for some food to survive these days." ”
"I can't ask for it. Fang Yu agreed after hearing the county order.
After a toss yesterday night, the descendants were sleepy and tired, and Sima asked him and couldn't bear to send the officials again. After the morning meal, the two of them drove lightly and walked towards Hu's mansion.
Although he was a powerful person in the Song Kingdom and a wealthy man in the city, Hu Jushi's mansion was not in the middle of the county seat, but in a corner, five or six miles away from the county government. The two of them walked for half an hour before they got there.
But after all, it is a prominent family, and although the mansion is remote, it is very luxurious. Sima Wenzhi checked in front of the mansion, and the width of the Hu Mansion was nearly 100 zhang, and the depth was unknown.
"Your Excellency. ”
When I looked at it, a voice came from the door of the house, and someone recognized Fang Yu County Order and took the initiative to say hello.
