Chapter 51: Dong Zhuo's Wife and Daughter
"The lower officials and others pay homage to the county magistrate!"
"Okay, there is no need to be polite, just get up."
"promise!"
The group of people in Xiangnan Pavilion responded, and then stood up one after another.
"I came here today to inspect the county and see if there are any thieves. Is there anything unusual here in Xiangnanting?"
"If you go back to the county magistrate, there will be no abnormalities here in Xiangnanting."
"Well, that's good." He nodded, and then Zhao Xu couldn't help but instruct, "Go and help us clean up two houses, we'll get some foot here tonight."
"promise!"
The pavilion chief dared not delay when he heard this. He agreed and quickly took people to clean up two clean rooms for Zhao Xu and the others.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can't do anything about you anymore, so you can go down too."
When he walked into the room, he felt satisfied, so he waved his hand and asked the pavilion chief to take his people back.
Then Zhao Xu and others prepared to eat some dry food and rest directly.
But unexpectedly, the head of the pavilion was quite eye-catching. Knowing that Zhao Xu and the others had not eaten yet, he hurriedly took his father to present some seasonal fruits and some stewed mutton to Zhao Xu and the others.
"You have been inspecting for a day for a long time. It's really hard. These things are not respectful. I hope the county magistrate will not dislike you."
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a common thing for the superiors to pass through the border and "eat and ask for the subordinates". So this little thing from the head of Xiangnan Pavilion is really nothing.
Therefore, Zhao Xu thought about it and accepted it.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and there is no need to be too harsh.
However, after accepting the food, Zhao Xu insisted on giving the pavilion chief some money at the market price.
...
"Okay, it's getting late, so let's take a break as soon as possible."
When Zhao Xu and his group finished their meal, it was already very late.
There is no nightlife in this era, so after chatting for a while, Zhao Xu and others prepared to rest.
"Ad, sleep outside and sleep inside."
There are many people in them, so Zhao Xu naturally had to squeeze in a room with Pang De today. There was only one bed in the room, so the two of them had to sleep on the same bed again this time.
"I'll sleep inside," said Ponder.
In this era, sleeping on the same bed is a common thing among friends. The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang have always done this in their early years, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Okay, then I'll sleep outside."
After so many years, Zhao Xu has become accustomed to it. Besides, it is not the first time he and Pang De have been sleeping on the same bed, so there is no psychological barrier.
"Yeah, what's the sound outside?"
In the room, Zhao Xu and Pang De were just lying on the bed, but a noise suddenly came from outside the door.
When Zhao Xu heard this sound, he didn't take off his clothes immediately got up from the bed and prepared to take a look.
...
"Hey, your pavilion is so brave. Mr. Nai asked you to make two rooms. Don't you understand what Mr. Nai said? Do you think, Mr. Nai can't teach you a lesson?"
In front of the pavilion, a burly man with a big waist and a round beard was holding a little chicken, carrying the Xiangnan Ting Tailor, who was waving a big hand like a dustpan, and gestured, screaming the Xiangnan Ting Tailor, who was so scared that his face looked like earth.
"A hero, a hero. It's not that I'm not a hero, but because there are really no other empty rooms in the pavilion. My Xiangwu County County Magistrate is here tonight, so I hope the hero will go to other places."
"Hey, you guys, you're scared Naigong with a county magistrate!"
After throwing the man to the ground, the man couldn't help but say in a rough voice: "Go, call out the county magistrate for me, and Duke Nai personally discusses with him."
"Hmph, no need, I'm here!"
Knowing that he was here, the big man dared to be so domineering and rude, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. So he snorted coldly and couldn't help but stand out.
"Well, are you the Xiangwu County Captain?"
Seeing that the person coming was just a young man who had not yet reached the title, the unexpected man couldn't help but be stunned.
'In Xiliang, this boy was so young that he could become a county lieutenant. It seems that he is not a noble family, so he must have something extraordinary.'
As a servant, although this man looked stupid and stupid in appearance, he actually had a little cleverness of his own.
With a master as his backer, he can arrogantly bully the little pavilion leader of Xiangnan Pavilion, but he definitely dare not make enemies or cause any trouble for his master.
Therefore, when he saw Zhao Xu, the burly man couldn't help but put away his domineering attitude just now, raised his hand and bowed to Zhao Xu.
However, Zhao Xu did not move about this.
No matter what background the man had behind him, Zhao Xu is now a serious court official. This servant is not qualified to have an equal dialogue with him.
But seeing this, the man was not angry at all. He just smiled and said, "The county magistrate, it's not a villain who is rude and presumptuous. It's really a reason. My wife and lady are in the carriage behind and need a place to rest, so..."
"lady?"
Suddenly hearing this claim, Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
In the Han Dynasty, the wife of a minister could not be called a "madam".
'Since this man calls his wife his daughter, he thinks his master must be a senior official in the Han family.'
This thought flashed through his mind, and Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask straight to the point: "Do you dare to ask which official's wife on the carriage is the family of which official, to come to Longxi?"
"If you go back to the county magistrate, the carriage is the wife and daughter of the prefect of Hedong in front of the Han Dynasty."
"Are the wife and daughter of the former Hedong prefect, who is the family of Dong Gong of Lintao??"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu's face showed a look of shock.
The person in front of him turned out to be Dong Zhuo's man, and the person in the carriage turned out to be Dong Zhuo's wife and daughter. In an instant, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel like he witnessed history.
"Haha, that's right, my master is indeed from Lintao."
Seeing Zhao Xu showing a shocked look, the man couldn't help but raise his chest and raise his head, showing a hint of pride on his face.
Although Dong Zhuo has been removed from office by the court, everyone knows what kind of family Dong Zhuo has built on.
His greatest reliance was his extraordinary courage and great prestige in Xiliang. As today's chaos and continuous wars were endless, it was the time when the court needed to rely on warriors.
Dong Zhuo was the governor of Bingzhou and was also a native of Xiliang. Therefore, as long as these two states set off fire again, Dong Zhuo's resurgence will be inevitable.
After all, it was a common thing to be exempted from office in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as there are connections, it is not too easy to get back on the ground.
What's more, Zhao Xu is a person whose soul comes from later generations. No one in the world knows better than him where Dong Zhuo will go in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Xu's attitude immediately became arrogant at first and respectful at the end.
