News from Jiannan Road came almost non-stop, and the usually quiet county government house became a little lively.
The news was about how things happened and how things happened. They were reported almost as soon as they asked for more information, and they continued without stopping.
Li Minglou doesn't want to hear how things happened, let alone what's going on in Jiannan Road now.
The matter has already happened, no matter how it happened or what happened, Jiannan Road will definitely be stable if Xiang Yun takes charge of it instead of Yan Mao.
No one cares more about the stability of Jiannan Road than Xiang Yun. Jiannan Road is the treasure trove of his family, his people, his money, his future, his first candidate in ten years...
Li Minglou looked at Yuan Ji who had left to wait for new news, and then at the woman in the next room who was guarding the stove and focusing on roasting chestnuts. She stood up and walked out quietly.
The county government office is also busier than before, certainly not because of the death of Yan Mao on Jiannan Road. To Dou County, Jiannan Road is a far away place, and Yan Mao is an unknown person.
The civil servants gathered together to discuss the important event caused by a group of soldiers nearby.
"Many people died. They killed everyone they saw. The county government was also massacred. It was so brutal."
"Just because of the salary? It's good to have a full stomach. How can you kill people?"
"I heard that they don't have enough to eat. Do you think the military camp is really like ours? It's full of wine and meat. That's because Mrs. Wu is here."
"If such a scary thing happened, Mrs. Wu would not want to leave."
Hearing these words, the chief clerk raised his head in excitement, and then trembled again. He saw Li Minglou standing outside the hall door, and jumped up with a cry: "Young madam, why are you here?"
The civil servants in the hall suddenly panicked and looked at the woman standing outside. She was wrapped in a black robe and hat covering her head and face, and her face was covered with a layer of cloth. The New Year's celebration was completely absent from her body. When did it come? None at all.
I noticed it, silently and like a ghost.
"What's the matter, young lady? Just ask someone to tell you." The clerk came to the door and said, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Li Minglou didn't come in: "How is the military rebellion going?"
The chief clerk laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a small matter. Xuanwu's side just received the news and captured all the rebellious soldiers."
Li Minglou asked: "Have you caught them all?"
The chief clerk nodded without hesitation: "We have captured them all, only Fengcheng. Madam, please rest assured. Moreover, this is a matter of Xuanwu Dao. There is nothing wrong with us in Huainan. Madam, please rest in peace."
Li Minglou was silent.
The chief clerk's heart rose to his throat.
"During the Chinese New Year, let's put more wine and meat in the military camp." Li Minglou said, "Let everyone be happy."
The head clerk's heart fell back and swelled: "Young madam, don't worry, this is as it should be. This time the government will prepare wine and meat."
Li Minglou did not refuse, thanked him and walked away.
Later, the chief secretary once again told Madam Wu to rest assured that the rebellion had nothing to do with us. He looked back at the civil servants with lingering fear: "Don't talk about the rebellion. It scared Madam Wu away. We in Dou County will be in chaos even if we don't have soldiers."
The civil servants covered their mouths, hunched their shoulders and nodded repeatedly.
"But, sir, do you really want our government to provide food and wine?" the civil servant who was good at calculation asked quietly.
The chief secretary, Nian Xu, said calmly: "For the Chinese New Year, our government will only pay once. How much can it cost?"
The civil servant who was good at calculation said quietly: "There are now more than a thousand people in military uniforms in the military camp, and there are still two thousand people in the civilian camp."
With a hiss, the chief clerk pulled off a beard: "Why are there so many people?"
He remembered that there were only a few hundred people in the county at the beginning, but there were already thousands of people, and there were not so many troops stationed in Guangzhou Prefecture.
"Because there are a lot of people in Dou County." said the clerk who was good at calculating. Almost one of the ten people who came was a member of the people. "Also, because the young lady used a lot of wine and meat. Now the wine and meat are all from other places.
When shipped, the price is much higher than a year ago..."
When the chief bookkeeper heard the reported amount, he clenched his beard with trembling hands and gritted his teeth: "We can't bear to let the child catch the wolf, so we paid for it!"
In short, Mrs. Wu cannot be allowed to run away no matter what.
Everyone in the hall echoed and comforted the chief secretary. The county is now rich, and the government has given Wang Zhi Dewei a solace fund for heroes and exempted grain taxes. These days, there are many people and businessmen in Dou County, and the county has become prosperous.
, the miscellaneous income of the government has also increased, and Dou County is now richer than ever before, and the chief clerk's hand holding his beard finally let go.
Seeing that the atmosphere was very good, the clerk who was good at calculation took the opportunity to ask: "Sir, the young lady mentioned the New Year period, how many days is the New Year period? From now to the fifteenth day?"
The master registrar fell backwards with a hiss, and the clerks helped him in a panic and called for another doctor.
It's embarrassing, it's shameful. The chief bookkeeper decided to pretend to be sick during the Chinese New Year.
Li Minglou didn't know about the worries of the County Registrar, nor did he care about it. Of course, he didn't believe what he said. The military rebellion in Xuanwu Dao was not controlled, and it was not related to Huainan. On the contrary, the military chaos would happen in the next place.
In Huainan, it will be in Dou County as expected.
In that life, Dou County was massacred by Wu Ya'er. By the way, there was also Wu Ya'er. Where is Wu Ya'er now? Has he already arrived in Dou County?
Dou County went through various login checks in and out, and the people who checked Andezhong were also checking Wu Ya'er. There were traces of And Zhong's people, but there was never any trace of Wu Ya'er.
Doesn’t he know that something happened to his mother? The name of Mrs. Wu of the Zhenwu Army has also been announced. Doesn’t he know that Mobei is remote?
When did Wu Ya'er come to Dou County in the last life? Is the time accurate? But regardless of whether the time is accurate, things will still happen. Even if it is not Wu Ya'er, it will still be Ande Zhong, just like Yuan Ji didn't
Die, die Yan Mao.
With the fragrance of flowers blowing through his nose, Li Minglou stood on the steps and turned his eyes, seeing Xiang Qiu bearded man standing at the bottom of the steps.
Xiang Qiu's beard was wearing a brocade robe and a gorgeous cloak. He had a sword on his waist and held a blooming red plum in his hand and stretched it out in front of her.
"Young lady, why are you sad during the New Year?" he asked.
This is the alley between the county government office and the back house. When Li Minglou came out of the county government office, he did not enter the back house but stood distracted. This place looked remote and there were many hidden guards around.
Xiang Qiubeard spends most of his time here now. Li Minglou heard from Yuan Ji that he drank, danced with swords or walked around here during the day. At night, he spread out his blankets and wrapped himself in thick furs to sleep in the open.
The reason why he did this was that he was Mrs. Wu's disciple. Although Mrs. Wu did not need his protection, he wanted to be by her side in case she was in need.
Li Minglou took the red plum from him and said: "There is a war in Fengcheng and the people are suffering. How can we not be sad?"
Although it happened last night, Dou County's trade routes are open, and today's news has spread. Xiang Qiubeard naturally knew it, and he shook his head: "The young lady is kind, and it is not surprising that she is sad for the people, but today the young lady is sad.
For yourself."
Li Minglou smiled, sniffed the red plums and said nothing, then walked down the steps to the back house.
Xiang Qiubeard stopped her: "Young madam, if you have any trouble, you can let me do it."
Li Minglou said: "No need."
"So the young lady is really in trouble." Xiang Qiubeard showed a clear look, otherwise he would have said that there was no trouble.
Li Minglou didn't mind being talked to, and he didn't mind being seen to be troubled. He put the red plum back into Xiang Qiu's hand and walked past him.
Xiang Qiu beard said from behind: "Young madam, you have no worries about gold and silver, and you are surrounded by invincible guards, but I can't relieve your worries, so this is what I can do."
Li Minglou stopped.
He was right, he might really be able to do this.
Li Minglou turned around and stretched out his hand to him, took a step forward and stood in front of Li Minglou, and handed the red plum to Li Minglou's hand again.
Li Minglou caught Hongmei and looked at him: "I want you to kill someone."
A smile bloomed on Xiang Qiu's handsome face: "Thank you so much, Madam, for your help."
