Text Season 8: Danger _ "Phantom Spear (8)" Chapter 24: The Dragon Roars and the Tiger Roars

"Look at the majesty of the man in front of him who rides a tall horse and wears an official uniform! How nice it would be to marry such a big man!" said a young girl with a peach blossom on her face, standing on the side of the road, waving her handkerchief, and said excitedly.

"Come on, come on, you don't go home and look in the mirror, it's up to you, the next life!" said a thin man standing next to her.

"You get out of the way, you know what. The girl said angrily.

"Girl, don't think too much, my wife has already inquired. The newly arrived prefect has already married and has a family. A white-haired old woman who was over the age of sixteen comforted.

"What if I have a family? If I can enter the mansion and be a concubine, it is better than marrying a layman. The girl looked at the prefect in front of her with a look of nymph.

"You better save the province, do you know why our Hangzhou Mansion chose to be born in Wu Tanhua to be the prefect?" The thin man deliberately dragged out his voice, hanging everyone's appetite.

"We don't know, you know?" said the young girl.

"Hehe, of course. Let me tell you, in the mountains around Hangzhou, there are thieves raging, blocking the road and robbing, bothering the merchants passing through here. The former prefect, Lord Li, was a complete pedantic nerd, and you must know it. The merchants complained, and naturally there were rich and powerful among them, so they asked the officials of the court to present a copy to the current emperor. No, in the martial arts test competition just held last month, Jiang Cheng, the flower explorer, was appointed by the imperial court as the new prefect of our Hangzhou Mansion. This person from a martial arts background came to our Hangzhou Mansion to take up an official position, but it's the first time!" said the thin man with a smug face.

"It's not you, you're so excited, so boring!" said the young girl.

"Our saint today can be described as a god and a saint, with good governance, and daring to break the rules and accept the officials, which can be regarded as a blessing for the people of Hangzhou!" the old woman sighed.

"That's not it, I hope this Lord Jiang can give our people Hangzhou a peace. The thin man continued.

After a parade to his post, Jiang Cheng was finally able to go back to the house with his wife to rest for a while. Jiang Cheng ordered to go down, and within half a day, he refused to see any guests.

In the main house in the house, Jiang Cheng carefully helped his frail wife Bai back to bed to rest.

"Madam, you have worked hard for more than ten days. Jiang Cheng said with a look of guilt.

"What did the husband say, since the day we followed you, have we been less tired of running around along the way? Bai said with a tired look on his face.

"This is different from the past, you are sick, but you can't be affected. It's all my fault, I've already ordered to invite the doctor to come and give the lady a number of pulses, and see if the wind and cold can get worse. Jiang Cheng walked to the table and poured two cups of hot water.

"My body, I know it best, don't be in such a hurry, it's not too late to wait for you to arrange the affairs in the house in two days. "Bai is very reasonable.

"How can I do that, although I am an official at the moment, I am also my wife's father-in-law, how can I rest assured. Jiang Cheng handed the hot water to the side of the bed, blew it, and then carefully handed it to Bai.

"The water in the south of the Yangtze River is still much more moisturizing than that in the capital. Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, Gangnam is a good place. As the saying goes, 'there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below', and the imperial court treated me well and allocated me such a good place with good mountains and rivers as an official. In the future, no matter how big or small, we must do our best. Jiang Cheng also said gratefully.

"Put the people in your heart, and you will naturally be loved, and everything will be much easier in the future. Bai looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile and said.

"This is nature. However, the reason why the imperial court transferred Mr. Li away and replaced me in office must be very clear to Mrs. Jiang Cheng said with a solemn expression.

"Well, when I talk about this, my heart is also full of uneasiness. Even if some officers and soldiers have some officers and soldiers in their hands, if they are not used properly, it will not be in vain to give the lives of others. Jiang took the cup that Bai had finished drinking, and said with a slight frown.

"Husband, what are your plans?" Bai Shi lay down again and covered the futon. This autumn day is coming, and I always feel cool.

"I alone am not enough. The three mountains near Hangzhou are all infested with bandits, some of them are outlaws, some are treacherous, and some are forced to make a living. In the face of different situations, different strategies must be used. Alas, it's a pity that I don't have a right-hand man by my side!" Jiang Cheng looked at the wooden window and sighed.

"At the beginning, we wandered the rivers and lakes, although we also made some friends, but now you are an official in the court, and if you have too many contacts, I am afraid that it will eventually be a little inconvenient, so you still have to carefully search for the available people in the local area to promote, and make suggestions together to make things happen. Bai suggested.

"Madame's words are very true, and I am also worried about this matter. Jiang Cheng paced back and forth in the room.

"Then why do you want to turn down the requests of those guests? It is also an important etiquette to come to one party as an official and meet guests and friends. Bai asked puzzled.

"In fact, there are two reasons for rejecting the guest's request. First, my wife was sick and needed to rest urgently, and my heart also needed to be calm; second, these guests, seeing that my new official had taken office, wanted to do what I liked and get closer to me, and none of them sincerely helped me. So, these vulgar and useless people, don't you see them!" Jiang Cheng's face was full of disdain.

"Hehe, husband, you are still so willful. You are now an official, no longer a hero, sometimes, you still have to socialize. Although Bai persuaded Jiang Cheng so much, he agreed with Jiang Cheng's point of view in his heart.

"Madam, you are also tired, it is better to rest for a while, and I will change my clothes later, and go out for a stroll on the street. Jiang Cheng said.

"It's okay, you're the newly appointed prefect, don't be too public, it's not good to be seen. After all, he is no longer in the rivers and lakes, and his heart still has to be restrained. Bai said with a smile.

"It's just distraught and just walking around. No wonder I used to hear people say that no official is light, but now that I think about it, it should be true. Jiang Cheng laughed at himself.

"What the husband said, although it is reasonable, you can think about it from another angle, if it were not for the husband and you came here as an official, and you came as another adult, I am afraid that the trouble of bandits and bandits will still not be eradicated, wouldn't this make the people of Hangzhou City and the merchants passing by along the way continue to suffer? When you are wandering the rivers and lakes, you also uphold the way of chivalry, and now you are an official, you can also uphold justice, spread chivalrous fame, and benefit the people, isn't it a beautiful difference?" Bai's words really touched Jiang Cheng's heart.

"Those who know my heart, Mrs. Mo Ruo too!" Jiang Cheng was fortunate to be able to marry such a virtuous and wise clumsy Jing.

"Husband, but I still want to say something from the bottom of my heart to you. Bai's tone changed suddenly.

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Madam, please speak!"

"Everything is about safety, stay in the green mountains, and don't worry about running out of firewood. Bai advised.

"Madame's words, I will take them to heart!" Jiang Cheng said solemnly.

"That's good, I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a while, and you'll come back early when you go out. Bai closed his eyes slightly.

Jiang Cheng agreed, and when he saw that his wife had already fallen asleep, he walked out of the door. After changing into casual clothes in the study, and instructing the people to take care of his wife, he went out alone.

Although the street market in Hangzhou is not as prosperous as the capital, it also has a unique flavor. Authentic snacks, merchants selling all kinds of toys, and the sound of selling can be heard everywhere. Jiang Cheng looked at the bustling people on the street, and suddenly felt that he had returned to a few years ago, remembering himself when he first entered the rivers and lakes. The past is like smoke, vividly, at this moment there is less leisure, more responsibility, I can't help but sigh.

Jiang Cheng walked through the street in front of him and came to an alley, where a man in ragged clothes and unkempt hair attracted Jiang Cheng's attention. The man leaned against the corner of the wall with blank eyes, the overturned bottle next to him still exuding a faint smell of wine, and he kept muttering, "Why? Why is this so?"

After a while, I heard him say repeatedly, "Wine, I want wine, I want to eat, whoever is good, give me something to stutter!"

Jiang Cheng looked at his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" He also secretly made up his mind in his heart, vowing to manage Hangzhou Mansion in an orderly manner, and there would be no hunger.

Out of the alley came a beautiful woman in her thirties, holding her daughter with a double whip. When the daughter saw the man, she pulled the woman's shirt and asked in a childish voice, "Mother, mother, this uncle is so pitiful, he has been screaming for food, he must be hungry, can I give him a steamed bun?"

"Jin'er is so good, this steamed bun, you go and give it to him. The woman took pity on her, and took a steamed bun from the basket and gave it to her daughter.

Na Jin'er was happy, so she trotted over, but she bumped into a rich boy in a gorgeous brocade robe. Jin'er was knocked down, and the steamed bun fell to the ground, stained with dust.

Jin'er began to cry in pain, but who knew that the rich boy not only helped her up to comfort her, but also immediately changed his face and scolded: "Are you tired of raising things like a son of a bitch?" Do you know how valuable this dress is on the uncle, you not only hurt the uncle and me now, but also soiled my clothes, you tell me, how to compensate me?"

Jin'er was so frightened that she cried out when he yelled at him. The woman hurriedly stepped forward, helped her daughter up first, and said with a smile: "This son-in-law, my daughter is not good, and please have a lot of adults, don't be like a child." ”

"Is this girl your daughter?" asked the rich boy with a look of disgust.

"Yes, yes, but the daughter of a slave family. The woman bowed her head and said cautiously.

"Yo yo yo, look at you still have some posture, why don't you go back to the house with the uncle, serve the uncle, there is no need to mention today's affairs, and reward you with a few pieces of silver when the time comes, isn't it beautiful?" After the rich boy saw the woman's appearance, he began to salivate.

When Jin'er heard this, she held back her tears, and angrily stepped forward and slapped the rich boy a few times with her small fist, shouting while hammering: "You are not allowed to bully my mother!"

"you!" the rich boy ordered, and the two housekeepers standing behind him put Jin'er aside.

"Jin'er, Jin'er. This son, you must not do this. The slave family has apologized, and asked the son to let us mother and daughter go. The woman pleaded bitterly.

The rich boy already had a treacherous look on his face, and he said with a smile: "If you agree to my request, you will naturally be guaranteed to eat and drink spicy food." If you don't agree, you want your mother and daughter to look good today. ”

Jiang Cheng was furious watching from the sidelines, and said in his heart: This Hangzhou Mansion has been messed up like this by the mediocre Lord Li. In broad daylight, he dared to oppress the people like this, if he didn't give this guy a little color today, I was afraid that he would dare to commit heinous things such as murder and arson.

The rich boy had already tugged at the woman's shirt and was about to step forward and take her into his arms. Jiang Cheng immediately stepped forward, and was about to come to the rescue, but who expected a flying stone to hit, hitting the elbow of the rich boy, he screamed in pain, immediately looked left and right, and scolded loudly: "It hurts me to death, which animal dares to plot against this son?"

Jiang Cheng was also curious, but after all, he was a martial arts practitioner, and he had already found the location of the stone maker from the trajectory of the flying stone just now......

Who came to the rescue of the poor mother and daughter?

Let's see the next breakdown.
