read336();

There is no impermeable wall in the world, especially for officialdom, when Wei Xiaobao here, without concealment, raised the banner of the minister of the Qincha and went straight to Yangzhou City, the state capitals, officials of all sizes shook together, and Lord Qincha passed by under his rule and wanted to go back to his hometown in Yangzhou?

This is a very big thing for them, if they greet them properly, or if they are appreciated by Lord Qincha, they may be able to be promoted to an official and make a fortune, and from then on, they will rise to prominence, and even directly join this powerful Lord Qincha, which is also very likely? Therefore, Wei Xiaobao and the others, every time they go to a county, there are officials of all sizes who go out in unison to welcome them.

Often, officials from all over the country greeted Wei Xiaobao and others, and immediately invited him to come over the mansion, and the banquet in the house was complete, Mei Ji served, and the wine was passed three rounds, and those officials did their best to flatter, and then they would offer silver tickets ranging from tens of thousands of taels to 100,000 taels for bribes.

Along the way, everything is like this. This situation made Wei Xiaobao can't help but sigh to Shuang'er: "In the past, when I was a common person in Yangzhou and had no power, I hated corrupt officials the most, but now that I am a big official and have mastered power, Lord Ben found that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are very popular? Haha, haha, anyway, their money is all looted."

Instead of staying in the hands of those people and eating and drinking, you might as well give me all flowers!"

Whenever he said this, Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, inevitably with a sense of pride.

On this day, not far from Yangzhou City, Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er rode a horse.

"Xianggong, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials are too hateful, you are now Lord Qincha, why don't you arrest them and punish them according to law?" Looking at Wei Xiaobao's happy appearance, Xiao Shuang'er bit her red lip, and finally couldn't help but speak, her beautiful eyes seemed to be a little disgusted, and she asked Wei Xiaobao with doubts in her tone. If she thinks about it, her father-in-law Wei Xiaobao should be a 'Bao Qingtian' who is jealous and hateful, does not rub sand in his eyes, and specializes in punishing corrupt officials and evil officials.

For Shuang'er's naΓ―ve questioning words, Wei Xiaobao shook his head and smiled slightly, and explained: "These corrupt officials and corrupt officials, although they are hateful, but the imperial court needs them to govern the local people, if they are all cleaned up, it is impossible to elect so many officials to replace them for a while, and when the time comes, the state capitals in various places will directly riot, and those who can gain a firm foothold in the officialdom are all human spirits, and even many of them have big officials in the capital behind them."

As long as it's not too much like Aobai, we don't need to deal with them!

Besides, even if they are to be punished, there must be conclusive evidence, and you and I can say that they bribed the chincha with silver tickets, but if there is no evidence, how will they admit it?

In this way, the corrupt officials can rest assured, and I have made a fortune, which is also a good thing, and I still hope to save more money to marry a wife in the future?

Speaking of this, Wei Xiaobao hugged Shuang'er's hand even tighter, and his eyes were fiery.

"Well, marrying a wife is so important, don't tell me, Shuang'er is just a little girl. Feeling the big hand that encircled his delicate body, strong and powerful, as if he had nowhere to escape, listening to Wei Xiaobao's pointful words, Shuang'er said shyly.

Her face was red, and she lowered her head to hide the sudden waves in her beautiful eyes, but Wei Xiaobao could feel that at this moment, the girl in her arms was pounding.

"Where is this? What kind of maid is not a maid, one day, I want Xiao Shuang'er to be my wife!" Wei Xiaobao spoke softly in Shuang'er's ear, with a firm tone in his tone.

Shuang'er's face turned even redder, and her heart suddenly beat faster, and her heart was full of joy!

Although Wei Xiaobao has always been very good to her, he has never treated her as a maid, and Shuang'er has long determined that he likes Wei Xiaobao in his heart, and he can no longer even leave Wei Xiaobao. However, it has been difficult for her to determine what kind of feelings Wei Xiaobao has for herself, and now when she heard Wei Xiaobao say that one day in the future, she would marry herself, and her heart suddenly shook.

"How is it?Xiao Shuang'er, don't you want to?" Wei Xiaobao asked with a smile.

"Ah, Xianggong, let's talk about it later. Shuang'er sighed.

In this way, on the way to Yangzhou City, the relationship between Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er is getting warmer and warmer, like a couple in love, and it is extremely sweet.

Beautiful days, the passing time, too short, there will always be a sense of can't be grasped, just when Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er Qingqing and me, lingering, Yangzhou City, arrived.

"My lord, not far away is Yangzhou City, and the vigilant guards who were exploring the road in front have just come back to report. I heard that you, my lord, returned to your hometown in Yangzhou as a messenger, and the officials of Yangzhou Mansion were shaken, and a grand welcome ceremony was organized under the leadership of the prefect and the pastor of Shoucheng Prefecture. Not only that, but they even ordered the people to sweep the streets three days before you returned to Yangzhou to show their respect!" At this moment, Zhao Qixian rode up from behind, and reported respectfully to Wei Xiaobao, and there was a lot of excitement in his voice. But because of this journey, whenever Wei Xiaobao received bribes from officials, he would reward them with a lot of silver tickets.

In this way, the guards who followed Wei Xiaobao made a lot of money one by one!

In the face of Wei Xiaobao, who is so generous, their loyalty is naturally more.

"Hehe! Welcome ceremony?" Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhao Qixian's words, but shook his head and smiled slightly, looked up at Yangzhou City, his eyes narrowed slightly: "I asked you to investigate, in Yangzhou City, in addition to the government's preparations to welcome Qincha, is there any abnormal situation?"

"Lord Qiqi, this is really true! You are really like a god. When Zhao Qixian heard this, he slapped Wei Xiaobao on the back without a trace, and then immediately said: "According to the guards who went out to investigate, there will be a major event in Yangzhou City in the near future, but he is now the richest man in Yangzhou, the helmsman of the 'Providence Commercial Bank', who bought three Tianshan Snow Lotus at a high price some time ago, and at most three days later, there will be a dart bureau escort and delivery into Yangzhou." And this news, somehow, spread the word, leading to pressure from forces all over the world in an attempt to get it.

Providence was forced by the tense situation, and in desperation, they had to propose that ten days later, an auction would be held, and at that time, a 'Tianshan Snow Lotus' would be taken out as the finale.

So far, Yangzhou City has gathered countless wealthy businessmen, and even some officials from other state capitals, some of these officials want to meet and make friends with Lord Qincha, and some plan to buy Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Moreover, if it was just rich businessmen and official forces gathered in Yangzhou, it would be better. However, the appearance of Tianshan Snow Lotus has caused the boiling of the entire martial arts, and many martial arts families, high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, and even martial arts predecessors and peerless masters who have not appeared for many years have come to Yangzhou City.

These people are unruly one by one, relying on their martial arts, and they are afraid that they are planning to snatch Snow Lotus. Moreover, many of these martial arts people are dissatisfied with the imperial court, although they dare not rebel openly, but there are many times, either for the sake of fame or for other purposes, they will assassinate the court officials. So my subordinates are a little worried, this time, my lord, you will go back to Yangzhou, I am afraid that it will be quite dangerous. ”

Although Zhao Qixian has no great talent, he has been an official for many years, but he still has some ability, and he sincerely respects Wei Xiaobao here, and he is naturally very attentive when he does things.

"Heh, is it quite dangerous?" Wei Xiaobao heard this, but his face remained unchanged, and when he spoke, there was a sharp light in his eyes, and he sneered: "I want to see, who dares to hit my Wei Xiaobao on the head, hmph, you immediately go and pass on my order, speed up, and go straight to Yangzhou City." ”

"Yes!" Hearing Wei Xiaobao's confidence, Zhao Qixian's body shook, and he immediately said respectfully.

So Wei Xiaobao led five hundred imperial guards, accelerated his speed, and went straight to Yangzhou City.

When approaching the city of Yangzhou, far away, you can see at least sixty or seventy officials of all sizes outside the city gate, standing in the sun, even if they are sweating profusely, they do not dare to have the slightest impatience, and on both sides of the avenue, there are hundreds of people, in the onlookers.

"Lord Prefect, escort the Qincha guards, here. A sudden exclamation sounded.

Suddenly, there was an uproar, everyone looked into the distance against the scorching sun, and sure enough, they saw that under the protection of a large number of imperial guards, Wei Xiaobao hugged Shuang'er and rode in front.

"Silence, silence, shut up, colleagues, come with me to meet Lord Chincha. "This Yangzhou prefect, Wei Xiaobao has had several fates, of course, it was the owner of the providence firm, the appearance of a middle-aged wealthy businessman, who went to visit the prefect's mansion, it can be said that Wei Xiaobao knows him, but he doesn't know Wei Xiaobao. However, although there were some doubts in his heart, when did a young man like Wei Xiaobao come out of Yangzhou City, and he also became a Qincha, but he did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately showed respect on his face and led all the officials to meet him together.

Not long after, when the two sides meet. The prefect glanced at Wei Xiaobao cautiously, and immediately bowed down towards Wei Xiaobao, his face was respectful, and he said loudly: "Wu Zhirong, the prefect of Yangzhou, led me to the officials of Yangzhou Mansion, a total of seventy-nine people, to welcome the Qincha. ”

"Wait for the lower officials, welcome Lord Qincha!" The officials shouted one after another.

Wei Xiaobao's face was flat, he glanced at Wu Zhirong and the others, and was about to speak, but he suddenly noticed Shuang'er in his arms, his delicate body trembled, and his beautiful eyes stared at Wu Zhirong, who was kneeling on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to speak, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with anger and murder. At that moment, Wei Xiaobao's expression moved, his eyes showed a little understanding and understanding, he gently squeezed Shuang'er's little hands, and whispered in her ear: "Little Shuang'er, what's wrong? It's okay, no matter what grievances you have, your father-in-law will call the shots for you, there are many people here, and there are too many people, let's talk about it when I go back." ”

Seeing Shuang'er's reaction, Wei Xiaobao had already remembered, he suddenly woke up, the Zhuang family's family was ruined, although it was an order from Aobai, and the holy decree was falsely transmitted, but there was also a whistleblower, that is, Wu Zhirong, and this Yangzhou prefect, isn't it called Wu Zhirong?

This incident was also recorded in the novels he remembered in his previous life, but when he read novels and watched Lu Ding Ji TV series at that time, most of his attention was focused on all kinds of beauties and martial arts, where would he pay attention to Wu Zhirong, and now, he felt a little impressed.

Although he had an idea in his heart, but now in the public, Wei Xiaobao naturally couldn't say it easily, so he looked deeply at Wu Zhirong, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head for a long time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately comforted Xiao Shuang'er and said softly.

"Hmm, Xianggong, Shuang'er listens to you!" Shuang'er's delicate body trembled, obediently leaned on Wei Xiaobao's arms, lowered her head, and didn't look at Wu Zhirong, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to suppress her hatred and anger, so she shot directly and slashed Wu Zhirong's guy with a sword. When the time comes, it will cause trouble for Wei Xiaobao.

"Ahem, cough, let's get up quickly! Ben Qincha is also from Yangzhou, and everyone is also a fellow countryman, but there is no need to be polite. Wei Xiaobao coughed a few times, faced the officials, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Lord Qincha, your Excellency has worked the journey, the lower officials have prepared a banquet in the mansion, and please invite the adults to appreciate the light, and then I will report to the adults about the important affairs of Yangzhou!" Wu Zhirong and the others stood up as if they had been amnestied, and immediately showed respect on their faces and said in a flattering tone.

"Well, then I'll bother the prefect. Wei Xiaobao's face remained unchanged, and his tone was flat.

Suddenly, surrounded by a large number of officials from all walks of life in Yangzhou Prefecture, surrounded and protected by guards and countless officials, Wei Xiaobao swaggered and was greeted into Yangzhou City.

Along the way, there were hundreds of people looking around and talking about it, and they were all very surprised, this Qincha, who had made all the officials flattering and respectfully greet him, was actually such a young man? How could this be? How old was he? He was bigger than the prefect's officials?

And unlike the envy and curiosity of many ordinary people, some martial arts people mixed with the crowd on both sides looked at Wei Xiaobao, who looked like a majestic and majestic person, but they sneered one by one, and some of them showed cold light and murderous intent in their eyes, and said secretly: "Heh, it seems that the Qing court is really exhausted, and it actually sent such a young Qincha? If you assassinate him, then?"

It's just this one thought, they only dare to think about it, but they can't put it into action.

Not to mention anything else, it's just five hundred imperial guards, which is enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention, for the sake of safety, there are also officials dispatched by Yangzhou Mansion to protect them along the way, and they shout all the way to open the way?

――――――

In the ranks of the people, Gui Xinshu's family hid behind the crowd and looked coldly.

Their family came to Yangzhou City, naturally for the Tianshan Snow Lotus, unexpectedly, here, they actually met Wei Xiaobao again, the stupid son looked at his father and mother, and immediately said: "Dad, mother, this person, isn't this the one who gave us sweat medicine that day, do we want it." ”

Although this fool is stupid, he is not stupid yet, and he knows that Wei Xiaobao should be his enemy!

He stared at Wei Xiaobao, who was riding on a horse, with a look of envy in his eyes, looking at his father and mother, and made a movement to wipe his neck, as if he was eager to try and want to assassinate.

"Son, this time we are here for the Tianshan Snow Lotus, don't make any extraneous branches, wait for your father to grab the Tianshan Snow Lotus and cure your illness, we will find another opportunity to deal with this kid." Gui Xinshu's wife, immediately covered her son's mouth, so as not to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers in the distance, and persuaded him.

Gui Xinshu looked at Wei Xiaobao, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, Wei Xiaobao!"

One of the largest restaurants in Yangzhou City, above the attic of the Providence Restaurant.

Yu Ba, who was richly dressed and dressed in a brocade robe, immediately ran out after hearing the report from his subordinates.

"Brother Starling, how is it? I'm not wrong, it's really a treasure, he's back!" a young man beside him, with excitement on his face, pointed to Wei Xiaobao in the distance, and said to Ba.

"Hey! It's really Bao Ye, this, it's great! Bao Ye is such a big official, I should have known, our choice back then was right, haha, haha!" Looking at Wei Xiaobao, Yu Ba was stunned at first, and then laughed, with excitement in his tone.

"Starling, Bao Ye is back, and now he has become Lord Qincha, we, this time, don't we have to be afraid of those who covet the 'Tianshan Snow Lotus'. Another person on the side also said
