2736 Bandits pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate
Next, he comforted him with kind words for a long time before the excited Fatty Hong finally calmed down.
It was only then that Fatty Hong discovered that the man watching the show with his arms folded next to him was actually the Duke of the Kingdom, Liu Hongji, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him again.
When Liu Hongji was in Lingnan, he also met this knowledgeable Fatty Hong. When he saw this, he laughed and waved his hand to indicate that he was welcome.
However, he didn't care anymore, but Master Liu and the guards almost had their jaws dropped again!
They originally thought that they would see a prince in this life, but the ancestral graves were already smoking!
Unexpectedly, that bald donkey with no hair on his head was actually a prince!
Thinking about how he had just treated her like a useless follower, Master Liu wanted to slap him twice right away!
Didn't you feel that your tricks were quite reliable before? Why did you finally meet a noble person once, but you felt like you were blind? You couldn't see anything?
However, Master Liu got upset quickly and recovered quickly!
After feeling deep self-blame, he suddenly looked at Xiao Han and the others chatting together, and couldn't help but smile again!
It's not that he was hit too hard today, Master Liu's mind is not clear.
But he suddenly thought that his county magistrate actually knew so many important people with hands and eyes, and he smiled excitedly in his heart!
As a master who works for the county master, who doesn’t want his master to be more powerful? More powerful?
It turned out that Magistrate Hong was dark, thin, and had a miserable look. Although he was full of means and brains, Master Liu, who had lived for half his life, knew that in this officialdom, it was either you who did well or not!
If you are mixed up in the big dye house of the officialdom and there is no one behind you, no matter how well you do or how beautifully you do it, if the superiors can't see it, then isn't that just a piece of shit?
But now it’s better!
My master is actually able to know the prince and the duke of the country!
And judging from their current appearance, they are not familiar with each other. From now on, who will dare to bully them? Who will dare to take credit from them? If they don't bully others or take credit from others, that would be considered a great mercy!
Thinking of this, Mr. Liu's eyes shone, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade: "Sir, Lord Marquis, Duke of the State, there is still a bit of chaos here, and it's already dinner time, so why not go back to the city and eat slowly while eating?"
chat?"
Hearing Master Liu say this, Xiao Han also felt that this was not a place to talk.
In addition, this place was all arranged by Fatty Hong. With Xiao Han's understanding of Fatty Hong, he knew that there would definitely be no big mistakes, so he went with the flow and agreed to the master's suggestion.
This time, under the leadership of Fatty Hong, the group quickly walked through the crowd.
After leaving the porridge factory, several people rode horses and donkeys, and started driving towards Dengzhou City.
Of course, Fatty Hong, who originally came on horseback, now has no horse to ride on.
His horse was given to Liu Hongji resolutely with an extremely determined attitude.
But Liu Hongji "cannot refuse" and can only "reluctantly accept!"
"Hey? Lao Hong, how did you know that I came here today? Before, I was in Anping County, why didn't you look for me?"
On the way back to Dengzhou City, Xiao Han was riding on a donkey and chatting with Fatty Hong.
Speaking of which, Fatty Hong is also a wonderful person. Except for the fact that he cried in grievance when he first met Xiao Han, now he has returned to his previous appearance in Lingnan.
I heard him smile bitterly first, and then replied to Xiao Han: "I'm not sure whether you, Lord Marquis, will come to Dengzhou. Today, someone still went to the county government to report that you are really here, Lord Marquis."
Only then did the officer find out, and he quickly came to see you!"
Speaking of this, Fatty Hong paused for a moment and then continued: "As for not going to Anping County, it was not long after Xiaguan took office in Dengzhou. Things in this place are so complicated that I really don't dare to get away, so I just decided to go to Anping County."
I didn’t go to visit him in person.”
"Oh?" Xiao Han nodded when he heard this, but heard Master Liu on the side again, saying in a slightly proud voice: "I want the Marquis to know that since my county magistrate took office, he has not only personally led the people in the city, but also led the people who were arrested a while ago.
The damaged houses and buildings were renovated, and they also led us to fight away the Goguryeo people who came to cause trouble!
You saw it just now. There are many victims of the disaster outside, right? You haven't seen that when our county magistrate first came, the number of victims at that time was several times that of now!
They have no houses, no fields, and no food. They can no longer survive. Thanks to my county magistrate's intervention, he opened two porridge factories, one in the south and one in the north, to ensure that these people will not starve to death!
Later, the county magistrate of my home provided work relief, and the number of victims dropped to more than 10,000. I think it won’t be long before these 10,000 people will return to their homes and return to their previous lives.”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, this is all thanks to everyone!"
Seeing his master, the "praising person", jump out to show his merits, although Fatty Hong said modest words, looking at the corner of his mouth that could not be suppressed, you could tell how happy he was at the moment.
Of course, Xiao Han is not a stingy person with compliments!
If someone does a good job, shouldn’t they be allowed to be complacent?
Not only does he allow it, but as an old boss, he also has to praise him?
Anyway, there is no cost to praise someone, and it can also make the person being praised continue to work hard and create greater glory, so why not do it?
So, the two of them complimented each other for a long time, but finally Liu Hongji couldn't stand it anymore and brought the topic to Dengzhou City.
After Fatty Hong's introduction, Xiao Han and Lao Liu realized that after experiencing the military disaster, Dengzhou had almost become an abandoned city!
As the old saying goes: A thief is like a comb, a soldier is like a grate!
Comb, this thing is very common. For combing hair, the teeth are widely spaced apart from each other.
Nowadays, a grate is less common. Although it is also used to comb hair, its teeth are much denser than a comb. The ancients often used it to remove lice and other things from the hair!
Therefore, the thief's mistakes here are like a comb, which means that the thief has a guilty conscience and cannot be exposed to the light! When you arrive at a place, seize the time to search, and then run away without others noticing. Like a comb, there are flaws.
And the soldier passing like a grate refers to the fact that after the soldiers entered the city, they were not afraid of people at all, let alone carrying people on their backs. Some of them were even afraid that others would not see their power!
Therefore, they have a lot of time and a lot of energy to collect those good things hidden by the people bit by bit!
Under such circumstances, no matter how hard you try to hide, you will still be raided by these bandit soldiers who are ten times more powerful than the bandits. In the end, it will be like being combed with a grate, leaving nothing behind!
