Chapter 265 Return

As soon as he turned around the hanging flower door, Wu Chengshan's thin body was wearing a clean bamboo gown. His white hair was tightly tied, his hands behind his back, and his face was dark and dark. Dongping personally followed him with a carrying box. Qingcheng slowed down his pace and glanced at Zhao and Qian. The two timidly lowered their heads and squeezed in a corridor. Next to the pillar, the corners of his eyes aimed at Wu Chengshan's footsteps. Zhao pulled the Qian family. The two knelt on the ground and sobbed and whispered, "Lord Wu, please, save our master, please!" With that, he lay on the ground and kowtowed. Wu Chengshan stopped, squinted at the two, flashed half a step aside, and scolded coldly, "Get up! If you lose the land and insult the country, you will die!" After saying that, Qingcheng glanced at Wu Chengshan, pouted and motioned her mother-in-law to help them up. She took two steps forward and whispered, "Let's go. You two still have to go back to Taiping Mansion with him. Be careful along the way. This master can't tolerate sand in his eyes. If anything happens~~ Hey, your lives are hard to protect!" The two listened like earthy faces and almost stood unsteadily. Lord Wu's cliff shore was high, and there was no room for sand in their eyes!

Wu Chengshan stood straight at the door with his hands behind his back, watching Shi Guozhu kicking, his toes twitch for a while, sighed, turned around and picked up the wine glass in Dongping's tray, raised his long bow, slowly sprinkled the wine at the door, turned around and went straight out. At the door, Zhao and Qian had already got on the car. Wu Chengshan saw Without looking at the people standing next to him, he went straight to the car, jumped to the driver's position and sat down. He took the reins from the little man's hand and was about to shake. Li Xiaoyao suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Mr. Wu, aren't you afraid of the bright moon shining on the canal?" Wu Chengshan's arm stiffened for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked straight ahead, shook the reins and rushed out.

The two sides of the road were full of the people of Chuzhou. Some were crying with their hands, some knelt down and kowtowed, some shouted 'adult' in a hoarse voice, and many people followed the car and trotted all the way out of the west gate. Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoyao went up to the wall and looked at the farther, smaller and smaller horse carts. Looking at the Chuzhou people who were sent out more than ten miles away, Li Xiaoyao sighed for a long time, took the glass full of wine from Danyue's hand, and slowly sprinkled it under the wall.

In the evening, Zhao Hongzhi's hair was not messy. He was dressed in a clean official uniform full of hair. He held a file full of files and trotted into the back office. Qingcheng was carrying a plate of preserves and looked at him up and down in surprise. He hurried in to pass it. Zhao Hongzhi stepped into the room, first put the file on the side and patted the long The shirt bowed up and saw the salute. Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Hongzhi. Zhao Hongzhi touched his sleeves and explained with a smile, "The fifth master loves to be clean and afraid of disgusting the fifth master. I washed it last night with a lot of oil, and it was almost rotten. When the salary is paid, I will make a new one." Li Xiaoyao stroked his forehead and smiled for a long time before pointing to the file and asking, "Has everyone picked it up? What is this?"

"If you have picked it, just wait for the fifth master to have a look. This is the general account of Chuzhou's tax collector in the past two years. After sorting it out, I will give it to the fifth master. In this selection, there is a man named Li Bangshui. His resume is not good-looking. In fact, Zhao Hongzhi looked at Li Xiaoyao and explained carefully and eagerly, and Li Xiaoyao raised his hand to stop. He smiled and asked, " According to his resume, don't you know the position of the county? Now it's a very time to do extraordinary things. Since the prince has given this Chuzhou to take care of you, he can trust you. The so-called employing people without doubt, and there are no doubters. If there is anything wrong with this person, I will only ask you to ask you to blame. As for whether it can be used, you can make up your mind. This term is only three years, and the next term, the court has its own regulations. ." Zhao Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to the end. He only felt that his heart was so hot. He straightened up and bowed down again. Li Xiaoyao motioned Qingcheng to take this account book and turned over and laughed, "How can I finish reading so many account books? After you sort it out, just give me a few numbers: the number of households and the population in Chuzhou have increased compared with last year. How many mu of paddy fields are there, how many mu of dry land there are, how many mu of mulberry fields, how many rich households there are, how many acres of fields there are, and how many merchants there are..." Li Xiaoyao said the number of words to see in one breath. Zhao Hongzhi listened attentively. Remembering one by one, listening to Li Xiaoyao's words, he took a breath and smiled, "These numbers that the Fifth Master wants will be sent to you early tomorrow morning." Li Xiaoyao smiled and watched Zhao Hongzhi leave. He turned his head and told Qingcheng to take all the resumes of the new officials.

Wu Chengshan ran all the way to Taipingfu. The black army he met all the way saw the red token hanging on the car and didn't even ask. Zhao and Qian went straight up in the carriage, and each of them vomited in one side of the window. Wu Chengshan drove the car straight to the dark, and then stopped by a dilapidated ancestral hall on the roadside. He stiffened his legs and groped to find the lanterns. He lit the lanterns, as if he had not seen Zhao and Qian lying in the car. He searched the carriage, and the car should be all complete, two leather bags of water and a large bag. Fine snacks, a bag of pickled salted beef, and a small green cloth bag with fifty taels of broken silver and two hanging money. Wu Chengshan opened the leather bag and drank a burst of water. He sat on the ground leaning against the wheel, breaking a piece of salted beef and chewing hard. Zhao and Qian were close together and looked at him in fear.

As soon as the sky turned white, Wu Chengshan drove the carriage back on the road again. This was already in the territory of Wu. Within a few hours, he met the patrolling Wu army team and escorted the three people to Haozhou to General Qin Xingyuan. A general came out and politely let Wu Chengshan go to the lobby. Several rude women led Zhao and Qian into the second door, and the car and horse were led to the gate by the soldiers for a closer inspection.

Wu Chengshan sat and drank two or three cups of tea, and then General Qin turned his back with two brocade clothes behind him. Wu Chengshan quickly stood up and bowed at the ceremony. General Qin stared at Wu Chengshan with gloomy eyes and said with a dry smile for a long time, "Lord Wu, are you all right? Is this trip going to be a lobbyist for King Liang of Beiping? What do you want me to do? Lord Wu, just say it!" Wu Chengshan suddenly looked up and looked at General Qin in astonishment and shouted, "General, what is this?"

"What?! Do you really think you can play with everyone? You underestimate the people of the world!" General Qin pointed to Wu Chengshan and said harshly. Wu Chengshan stood stunned, looked at General Qin, watched him sit down with a big horse, swallowed his saliva, and explained with difficulty: "General, Chuzhou was lost, and General Shi Guozhu was be beguished to death. I resisted with death, and the King of Liang let me come back. Please make it clear!"

"That's a good thing! The words are sincere, his ambition is commendable, and his feelings are compassionate! It turns out that if you fight to the death, can the killing god of King Liang release people? Good words! Good excuse! What an idiot!" General Qin gently clapped his hands and sarcasticly. Wu Chengshan looked at General Qin sadly. For a long time, he raised his deep arm and pointed to the back hall and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask General Shi's two concubines. Both of them are pregnant. I just finished..." Without saying that, General Qin almost curled his chin, cold Laughing, the two Jinyi standing next to him smiled and shook their heads. General Qin seemed to be too lazy to talk to Wu Chengshan. He raised his hand and waved his hand. Jinyi turned around and waved his hand. The curtain behind him was raised. Zhao and Qian helped each other and flinched in. They did not dare to look at Wu Chengshan or General Qin and stared at him. The ground moved all the way in and knelt on the ground.

"How did General Shi die?" General Qin Da Lala asked,

"back~~back to the general, yes~~ he killed it all!" Zhao Shi trembled and suddenly raised his finger to Wu Chengshan and screamed. Wu Chengshan subconsciously stepped back half a step. General Qin looked at him and said sarcastically, "Are you afraid? Do you know that you are afraid now?

"You! You! Shameless! Shameless!" Wu Chengshan's face turned blue with anger, and his fingers kept shaking and pointing at Zhao and Qian. Zhao and Qian moved forward two steps, kowtowed and cried, "It's him! He and those Peiping people killed our master! We begged him, crying and begged him to avenge our grandfather! He took a fancy to our sisters and forced us to beg the general to be the master!" Crying and falling to the ground, Wu Chengshan stared at the two people who were crying and muttered: "Little man! Evil woman! Shameless wicked woman! Shameless•••••”

"I didn't wrong you, did I?" General Qin questioned angrily. Wu Chengshan blocked his neck, slowly turned around, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the hall and said angrily, "Sure enough! Sure enough! Little man! Shameless villain! The moon shines on the ditch!" General Qin's eyes tightened a few times, waved slowly with his teeth, gritted his teeth and ordered, "Drag out, chop it!"

The two guards standing at the door were going to drag Wu Chengshan. Wu Chengshan took a step back, staring at the two guards like ashes, and suddenly rushed forward. The guards were shocked and kicked Wu Chengshan fiercely. Wu Chengshan seemed not to know the pain. Wu Chengshan rushed straight over and rushed to the knife around the guard's waist. General Qin The upper body was so stiff that the two brocade clothes hurriedly drew knives to protect General Qin. Wu Chengshan fell to the ground, stared at the sword on the waist of the guard, and shouted hoarsely, "Give me the knife! I want you blind dogs to see my heart! This heart!"

General Qin stood up suddenly and squeezed from between his teeth and said, "Give it to him!" I'd like to see if his heart is black!" The personal guard untied the knife and threw it in front of Wu Chengshan. Wu Chengshan kept stretching his fingers and grabbing the knife. He stood up with the knife in one hand and stood up with the other hand. He staggered half a circle, smiled miserably at General Qin, raised the knife, and stabbed it into his chest fiercely.
