Chapter 311 Dark Tide (7600)(1/2)
Chufeng County City.
After collecting the city entrance fee, Wu Ming's ox cart entered the city without any obstacles.
The journey was very peaceful, with no bandits and others, which was enough to show the ruling method of Wu pheasant.
However, Wu Ming knew very well that even if his reputation was good in daily life, once it was related to the harvest this year and the livelihood of the whole family, the literati and the people of Chufeng County would abandon Wu Zhi without hesitation!
"Young Master, where will you go next?"
Lao Luo likes this young guest very much. He doesn’t talk much and has no unreasonable requirements. Of course, the most important thing is to give money with pleasure!
As soon as I entered the city, I paid off the car money. Anyway, I only had these two steps. I couldn’t say that I could ask for a few more rewards after I was sent!
The car fare needs to be shared with the cattle and horse business, and the reward is my own, so there is enthusiasm and a bit of sincerity on his face.
"oh?"
Wu Ming had a playful smile on his face.
"It's only a few steps away, and the old man must send the young master safely!"
Lao Luo laughed with him, and his crisscrossed faces looked flattering.
"Well... go directly to the Jiedushi's Mansion, your rewards are bound to be worthy of..."
Wu Mingran said with ease.
But these words made Lao Luotou's arm, which was cast as steel as steel, almost rush to the edge of the road.
‘Good… Is this young master or a small official in the Jieduan’s mansion?’
Lao Luotou felt sad, but at this time he didn't dare to say anything, and drove the ox cart to the center of the county town.
As the power center of Chufeng County, the Jiedu Mansion is naturally a landmark building, with two huge stone lions standing at the door showing majesty.
On the front street, there was a row of gorgeous carriages, all of which were officials waiting to see Wu Zhi.
Many carriages of luxury or simple, of different shapes almost blocked the road. When Lao Luo looked at this scene, he didn't dare to go forward. He could only stop beside him and smiled: "Little official... I really can't get through the front!"
This world is clearly divided into levels, so he dared not walk alongside a carriage, so how could he dare to step forward carelessly?
"Well!"
Wu Ming threw out a few big money and walked towards the gate of the Jiedushi Mansion.
Lao Luo did not leave. On the contrary, he looked at Wu Ming's back with expectant eyes, eager to know how the young official was in the Jiedu Mansion.
If he is a real noble person... he feels that he will have the capital to brag about other guests in the future.
Before the Jiedu Mansion, more guests were waiting, and they all lined up with famous posts.
But Wu Mingli ignored them and walked directly into the gate of the Jiedushi Mansion.
This blatant behavior of jumping into the line immediately made him feel a large focus of his vision behind him and a lot of watching the show, but no one jumped out directly, as if he wanted to see him hit his head and bleeding in front of the Jiedushi's fangs.
but……
"Son-in-law?!"
The Huofeng Camp's personal guards, who were originally guarding, let out a surprise cry, immediately saluted and welcomed Wu Ming in.
"Aunt...Auntie?!"
The officials lined up behind were in a mess in the wind. At this time, an experienced person came to ask for his orders. After a whisper, the people looked at Wu Ming's back with jealousy...
"I'm a real mother..."
Lao Luo's mouth was also wide open, like a sculpture, but he knew something in his heart, and he would definitely not lack topics of boasting about talking about it in the future.
...
On the other hand, Wu Ming didn't care about the flies behind him.
What made him a little regretful was that he did not break out of a foolish second generation and gave him a plot of slapping him in the face in public.
It seems that there are still a few fools in this world.
"But... I have to really care about it, I am Chu Feng, the largest second generation in Nanfeng County, right? No! It's the first generation..."
Wu Ming put away his bad taste and came to the backyard of the Jiedushi Mansion.
Obviously, Wu Zhi lived in the Jiedu Mansion during this period and even brought the boudoir equipment.
"Where are your ladies?"
"The lady is still inspecting the drought outside the city and the layout of the water keel... I'm afraid it will take a long time to come back..."
The person who led the way was a close maid from Wu Zhi before. He seemed to be called Shi Dao or something else. At this time, he was not domineering in the front yard. He was disagreeable and drew his sword to face each other. He led Wu Ming to Wu Zhi's bedroom in a whisper, and changed his boots for him. Then he asked: "We have already reported to the lady from the news of the arrival of my son-in-law. My son-in-law has been working hard all the way, so do you need to eat?"
In his words, he was unconsciously charming, but he thought of the lady’s promise.
The people in her own camp are actually all dowry concubines. Speaking of which, Wu Ming is also her husband, so he naturally has more attentiveness to serve than usual.
“Okay…”
Wu Ming agreed and could clearly feel the maid's surprise. He couldn't help but smile again. The red sleeves add fragrance and the beautiful woman accompanied him to have a meal. It was originally a fun thing for the scholars and officials, so why refuse?
...
Time comes to night.
In the city of Chufeng County, it was dim and a row of lights was on.
In the Sifang Inn, which is well-known in the city and has a golden sign for decades, a conversation is underway in a secret room.
"This is the news in your newspaper today..."
In the secret room, a little oil lamp swayed, dim and dark, with a mysterious smell.
Under the light, there was a huge desk. The shopkeeper of Sifang Inn, a man with a kind face, looked at a beggar in front of him with frost on his face.
"Sir Qi... The news in the city today is here!"
This beggar is extremely old and looks like he has experienced the wind and frost of the world. However, he dare not neglect in front of this adult.
"Then why is this man just a few things?"
The adult who looked like a shopkeeper pointed at it and it was Wu Ming’s file!
"This person?"
The old beggar stopped: "This person was just a large family in the county, and at most one sister had a Taoist practice... If he had not occupied the title of the governor's husband, he would probably have a more supervisory value even if Wu Tiehu in his family..."
"Damn it!"
The shopkeeper looked cold and said, "I won't say much... Within three days, I want to know all the news about Wu Ming. From childhood to adulthood, the trouble caused by the woman she has teased, don't let go of any details!"
To be a dark person, you must be as careful as your hair.
In his opinion, even if the identity of this governor’s husband is only worth the capital, not to mention that the other party seems to be a little mysterious...
He glanced at the old beggar again and said warmly: "I know it's not easy for you... I remember that back then, thirty of us were ordered to lie here and stay for twenty years... Some people died directly, some couldn't bear it, and left, and some people even passed on for several generations, and their descendants had forgotten their tasks... It was not until recently that they were activated. Do you have any complaints?"
"I don't dare!"
The old beggar smiled bitterly. He still understood the situation of this boss, otherwise his subordinates would dare to admit that they had resentment in their hearts? Let's wait for the day when they are not ready in the future!
"I know you have worked hard!"
The shopkeeper is also a dormant person who has been dormant for decades, and his behavior has become much gentler: "Recently, the Jiedushi's Mansion has been rectifying the county, so your life is also hard. I will bring a few taels of silver back later... It's not that there is no more, but that it will easily attract attention if there is too much!"
"I know!"
The old beggar smiled bitterly: "Boss! If you weren't here, the brothers would have parted long ago!"
I still admire this leader very much. I couldn't help but bring out my old name.
"Well, Shangfeng has already made a promise. After doing this, the past will be written off. Brothers can take off their shackles and be a human being open and upright!"
After the old beggar left, the leader was silent under the candlelight for a long time before clapping his hands again.
"grown ups!"
The black shadows in the corner of the wall squirmed and turned into a young man in a servant-like appearance, with a cold face and kneeling on one knee.
"Although everyone is a loyal minister, after so many years, it is hard to guarantee that he has no idea..."
The leader, who looked like a shopkeeper, was filled with cold air: "Go and follow him, if everything is normal, if you want to inform me... you know what to do!"
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will inevitably let him disappear silently!"
The young man retreated quickly.
The shopkeeper looked at this scene and sighed.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust his subordinates, but since Dinghou’s intelligence network was uprooted, Chufeng County has carried out many storms, and each spy have suffered heavy losses.
If not, their idle trick would have been how many years before they could be remembered again.
"It's not that I'm sorry for my brother... It's just that I can't do both!"
The shopkeeper said coldly, and his eyes turned red.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has raised the people for three hundred years, and has a loyal and courageous man.
