After a long groan, Grandma Shu's rough face was full of satisfaction, and then she lay back on the chair with her arms spread out and her expression was blank.
Thunder Runner ‘Yuan Xin’ stood expressionless, his two big rough hands now covered in blood, and his legs were even a little trembling.
He is the guard of the scholarly family, and he is just polite to help others!
"Shua~"
Two branches deeper in the ground tied Yuan Xin directly to grandma's feet, causing her to kneel down.
Grandma's voice also became soft and gentle: "Ben Lei Shou, you are very good. From now on, you are mine. Now go back and take a good rest."
Ben Leishou struggled to get up and stared at the monster quietly.
A true man cannot be lascivious when he is rich, nor can he be subdued when he is powerful. You can do it with your hands, but not on your knees!
Moreover, he still has hope. If Ning Caichen returns to Kyoto and asks General Zuo for help, General Zuo will definitely not refuse based on the reputation of the minister and the bachelor.
If that Mr. Le takes action, he will be saved!
This is hope.
"Humph~" Grandma hummed, raised the branch, and tapped Yuan Xin's forehead.
"Enemies, do you know why grandma and I have been running rampant in Guobei County for decades? Even though Yan Chixia lives in Lanruo Temple, she never wants to come and deal with me?"
Ben Leishou was startled and said hesitantly: "Maybe grandma has deep magic power, so Master Yan can't do anything to you."
Grandma nodded, approvingly: "Smart, but only half right.
That Yan Chixia has the help of Xuanyuan Sword, let alone me, even if she faces the Hades Emperor Heishan in the underworld, that guy can survive a few moves. But since my grandma cultivated the immortal way, she has never taken the initiative to harm anyone.
Man, of course Yan Chixia has no reason to deal with me.
Finally, and most importantly, my roots are all over the entire Guobei County. Unless Yan Chixia wants to turn the world upside down, at the expense of hundreds of thousands of humans and countless lives in the entire county, otherwise there is no way
Can't kill me.
The most important thing is that my body is at the entrance to the underworld, and has been suppressing and absorbing the evil spirit leaking out of the underworld. If I die, the gap will open, and then the yin and yang will be combined.
The endless evil energy of the underworld will explode, and the entire human world will be devastated.
understand?
I, grandma, am invincible in the world!"
After hearing this explanation, Ben Leishou's originally bright eyes suddenly lost their light.
Yes, he was just an unknown person that no one had ever heard of. The only major thing he did since he was a child seemed to be robbing prisoners, and then he failed in one move and was arrested by Zuo Qianhu.
Who would be willing to pay such a high price to save a waste that would not cause any ripples in the world even if he died?
Why!
"What, have you thought clearly?" Grandma seemed to have regained her temper for a while, and her voice began to become neither negative nor positive again.
Having lived for thousands of years, it has a very thorough understanding of human nature.
Add hope to despair, and then give a glimmer of hope. In this way, this person will be dragged forward by that little light, moving forward.
In order to chase the last glimmer of hope, people will slowly torture themselves and squeeze them dry. Maybe they will wake up only when they finally sink.
More people may regret that they did not work hard enough in the past.
Haha, they never know who the biggest winner is.
After three full breaths of silence, Ben Lei Shou's straight back gradually curved, and finally he knelt down on the ground and bowed deeply.
"My heart has been wandering for half my life. I only regret that I have not met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. If grandma does not give up, please accept my child's worship."
"Okay, okay, my heart is really a gift from heaven. I am so happy!"
…
Guobei County.
Starting a few days ago, Su Ming, the magistrate of Guobei County, has been busy all day long.
He asked the catcher to lead everyone in the yamen to drive out all the beggars in the county. He also ordered people to clean the streets inside and outside, including the toilets, and hang up red lanterns everywhere.
Every shop and household was notified in advance and prepared to praise the county magistrate for his outstanding performance in various places, such as building bridges and paving roads, encouraging farmers to take the lead in planting and harvesting in autumn, and there was no large-scale damage to the entire county's population during his tenure. He is honest and benevolent. Jie wait.
Anyway, the head catcher went door to door and notified anyone that if anyone made life difficult for the county magistrate, the county magistrate would not let the head catcher have an easy time. If the head catcher had a hard time, then everyone would not live with it!
The Su family has been ruling the roost in Guobei County for more than ten years, and no one would doubt that they don't have that strength.
Moreover, the word "official" means two words, and everyone has been like this for more than ten years. Is it possible that the official who came this time is different from the previous ones? Is he from a higher background than the county magistrate? Or does he have more subordinates than Su Sanchi?
This Su Sanchi is of course the nickname of Su County Magistrate, who is known as digging three feet into the ground. If you calculate it this way, doesn't it mean that the sky is three feet high?
early morning.
The morning sun illuminates the county town, the breeze blows, and the flags on the streets flutter in the wind. Occasionally, you can hear the bells of temples in the distance.
There were already many people at the gate of the county town. The vendors setting up stalls began to prepare for the day's business, and the people also went out one after another, either on their way, doing errands, or doing business.
The walls on both sides of the city gate look old and solemn, covered with traces of time. The soldiers guarding the city are patrolling with serious faces, bright equipment and dignified manners.
The streets and alleys of the county began to be filled with the aroma of various breakfasts, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, xiaolongbao... It made people salivate. The sounds of vendors shouting and the voices of people bargaining, these sounds mixed together, formed the Guo The lively atmosphere unique to North County.
From time to time, carriages or pedestrians on foot would pass through the county gate and enter and leave the county. They were in a hurry, each with their own busy schedules and stories.
As usual, Su Ming led his men to stand at the door, eagerly waiting.
Although I don't know when Lord Shangshu's son-in-law will return to Guobei County, as long as he waits here every day, he will wait one day.
This is the good quality of being a county magistrate: patience.
As for the affairs in the yamen these days, all the affairs are handled by the master. Those who cannot be handled will be put on hold for the time being, and those people will be sent home first to wait until he is free.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Can’t wait? Are you in a hurry to send you to reincarnation?
A bunch of dog-like shit people actually want to delay the important life event of his noble Lord Su. They just don’t want to live anymore!
"Report!" Someone came on horseback from afar, dismounted in a hurry, and knelt down.
"Reporting to Mr. Su, there is a large group of people approaching twenty miles away from the official road. The leader is Mr. Ning Caichen, and there is also a group of strong bodyguards.
Among the guards there are many delicate and frail women, and old men with white hair and beards. I don’t know their origins.”
"Oh~" Magistrate Su was a little confused.
It's normal for the dignified minister's only son-in-law and future successor to have a bodyguard, and it's normal for the bodyguard to be strong. But what does it mean that there are so many women and old people thousands of miles away?
After pondering for a moment, Magistrate Su's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.
What should you do if you encounter wild beasts and monsters in the wild? It is definitely impossible to slide and shovel. The only way to survive is to run, run as hard as you can.
At this time, if you run faster than your peers, then you have a way to survive.
Mr. Ning is worthy of being a scholar of our generation. Even with so many guards, he still understands the Confucian saying that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall, and he specially takes care of old women.
Aren't these people just using it as money to pay for travel at critical times?
High!
At this moment, County Magistrate Su deeply understood one thing, that is, the son-in-law of a great scholar's family must be of the same lofty ideals as him, a member of his own family.
"Come here, take the old people and children who are greeting you, come with me, and we will go ten miles outside the city to greet you." Master Su happily ordered.
In official circles, the most important thing is the appearance. You respect me a foot, I respect you a foot. Hello, I am good, everyone is good.
"But, sir, there are not that many carriages!" The guard hesitated.
"They won't be allowed to leave without a carriage. Do you want me to teach you this? Those who can't catch up with the team will be told that they don't have to go, and they won't be exempted from this year's corvee." Mr. Su said impatiently.
"yes!"
…
Ten Mile Pavilion.
The pavilion is surrounded by green trees, gurgling streams, and the air is filled with the fresh smell of nature. The pavilion is decorated with various antique furniture and furnishings, making it look simple and elegant.
From the pavilion, you can enjoy the undulating mountains in the distance, the beautiful peaks and mist, as if you are in a landscape painting. In addition, around the pavilion, there are green bamboo forests, lush woods and various beautiful flowers, which make people relaxed and happy.
.
There is a huge stone tablet standing on one side of the pavilion, with the three characters "Shili Pavilion" engraved on it. The brushwork is vigorous and exudes a calm and simple charm. The back describes the history of the ancient pavilion and related matters related to its construction.
Among them, Master Su Ming's name is clearly at the top, which shows the hard work and hardship he put into being an official.
"Tap, step~buzz"
The sound of carriages advancing and the neighing of war horses gradually came from the distance on the official road.
Su Ming was sullen because he refused to give face to the old people who had fainted from exhaustion, but suddenly he smiled like a flower. He waved his hand and asked his men to take those losers down, and quickly led the children to welcome them enthusiastically.
"Hahahaha, your subordinate, Su Ming, the magistrate of Guobei County, together with the fellow villagers, welcome Mr. Ning back home!"
Upon hearing these words, the elderly and children in the back quickly grinned, and some even cheered and clapped, while others in the back beat gongs and drums, making the scene extremely lively.
Zuo Qianhu, the leader of the team, twitched his lips.
This dog officer, why didn't he have this ceremony the last time he came here?
Hum~
"Tap tap tap~"
The horses did not stop, and the group of people passed directly by the pavilion without stopping. After a while, they disappeared from Su Ming's sight.
Su Ming's short and fat figure gradually straightened up, raised his head, and the smile disappeared from his face.
"Sir, Mr. Ning doesn't give you face, what should we do?" the head catcher said anxiously.
In the officialdom, if you don't give any face, there is only one situation, and you have to break up. Does this mean that Mr. Su's official career is over? Doesn't his arrest also come to an end?
Raising his hand, Su Ming said calmly: "It's okay, let's go, come with me, we will step forward to lead the way for Mr. Ning."
Given the power of the Su family in Guobei County, which one of the county officials, big and small officials, arresters, policemen, landlords and merchants has nothing to do with the Su family? Even if the court really wanted to deal with him, the worst he could do was commit suicide to apologize.
When a person dies, the debt is wiped out.
After enjoying it for most of his life, in this small county town, Su Ming had everything he wanted, including the wind, the rain, the power and the beauty. Even if he died now, it would not be a loss.
After his death, even if the court sent other county magistrates, he would still have to rely on the Su family for tax collection and governance. In the end, Guobei County would still be the Su family's Guobei County.
No big deal!
…
County seat, northern suburbs.
Su Ming's short body was trembling.
Something is wrong with Mr. Ning. Why are the group heading towards Lanruo Temple?
This guy is the only son-in-law of the bachelor, and more likely the only male son of the Fu family in the future. If he dies, the entire Su family will probably be razed to the ground. What kind of grudges does he, Su Ming, have with this Young Master Ning?
, this guy would rather die than drag the Su family into trouble?
Thinking of this, Su Ming ran directly to the front of the team, knelt down with a plop, and hugged Ning Caichen's feet.
"Mr. Ning, as a scholar of our generation, if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, you must not go in front of this!"
Ning Caichen paused and looked back at Zuo Qianhu.
Along the way, there were more and more weird things on the road. Basically, Zuo Qianhu led his men to clear the way, punching mountains to open up mountains, and moving trees to build bridges when encountering water. That strength was much easier to use than magic.
As for the old people and girls who came with him, he didn't know what they were doing. He only knew that the eyes they looked at Zuo Qianhu were getting more and more weird. From being indifferent at first, to caring enthusiastically in the end, they even looked at him and asked for martial arts lessons.
.
Zuo Qianhu glanced meaningfully at Mr. Su, who was only as tall as his heart on the ground.
"Mr. Su is indeed right. It is better for you to take risks with your wealth than to take risks. In this way, I will give you, Mr. Su, an opportunity to serve the imperial court and serve the people.
You go to Lanruo Temple and negotiate with the tree demon."
Su Ming was startled, clasped his fists, and asked doubtfully: "I wonder who this general is?"
Although he is just a civil servant, he is also a dignified civil servant. How dare a stinky Qiu Ba give orders to him?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Danglang~"
A gold medal was thrown to the ground.
Mr. Su was a little confused. He picked it up and looked at it. There were four big characters on it: I am here in person.
Su Ming:???
He is a small county magistrate, is it necessary to use this token to order him to do things?
"Su Ming, the magistrate of Guobei County, has received the order and now orders you to be the negotiator. You will carry our letter of friendship and harmony to the tree demon, state your interests, and rescue the righteous Yuan Xin and the righteous little table."
Su Ming was silent for a moment and had some questions: "Forgive me to be honest, this general, as a scholar like us, cannot restrain a chicken. But around Lanruo Temple, wild beasts are infested and weird things are rampant. Even if I am not afraid of death, if I go in,
At most, it's just a dead body.
If you really want to negotiate, why don't you go?"
Zuo Qianhu said matter-of-factly: "My body is also weak, and that tree demon is said to be ferocious and cruel. I'm afraid of being bullied."
"Meow~" The little yellow cat on the shoulder who was eating the ginseng he picked up thought deeply.
Monsters are so scary!
Mr. Su raised his head and looked at the dog official. He was a strong man who was much taller than him both horizontally and vertically. Then he fell into deep thought.
"Qiang~"
The sword, which was more than one foot long, was unsheathed. Zuo Qianhu took out a silk handkerchief and wiped it gently, with some doubts.
"Why, is it possible that Mr. Su, as a parent official, is unwilling to serve the common people?"
After a moment of silence, Su Ming took a deep breath, bent down and lowered his head: "Wei Chen, as ordered!"
A real man is born between heaven and earth. If he wants to soar above the nine heavens, he must sink his body, dive into the abyss, and wait for the time to move.
Zuo Qianhu nodded with satisfaction and took out a letter from his arms: "Here, deliver this letter personally to the thousand-year-old tree demon, and your mission will be completed.
Mr. Su, don’t worry, after this matter is over, I will definitely apply for a generous pension for you."
Su Ming:???
I never thought he would come back alive, right?
Impossible! We, the scholars, read the books of saints and sages, and we will definitely be able to change our lives against the odds!
