Just as Su Ren expected, the incense in Laojun Temple suddenly became much more prosperous. When businessmen coming and going to Laojun Temple, they must put up incense sticks to ask Grandpa Laojun to bless and make a fortune. People nearby also came to offer incense;
People from various counties also came to offer incense to pray for children, blessings, wealth and luck. Sometimes, the procession for offering incense could line up for more than a mile from the entrance of Laojun Temple. Taoist priest Chongxu led his two
The apprentice has to deal with these pilgrims every day without touching the ground.
Su Ren is still sitting under the huge birch tree. It has entered midsummer, and the leaves of the leaves are extremely lush. It is very cool to sit under the tree. People who offer incense are not surprised by this, and sometimes a few old people come.
When you talk to Su Ren, you talk about heavenly punishment.
"Grandpa Lao Jun appeared and took care of Liu Wen and Hou Jian. I am really a big man. I have lived in the shadow of the Liu family all my life. Even in Wenshui County, which is a good place, no one who has been messed up by this thief has a chance to survive."
It's better now. Although he is not dead, he is nowhere to be seen. It seems that the days to come will get better and better."
"This is necessary. Elderly people should take good care of themselves. Good times have begun. If you live a few more years, you can enjoy a few more years of happiness!"
"Hahaha!" The old man laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Su is right, he does have two more years to live. My grandson wants to come to Laojunguan to do business with him, but he doesn't have any ability.
Strength, but also hope..."
"The old man is out of touch when he says this. We are all fellow villagers. The door of my Laojun Temple is always open to the people of Wenshui. Anyone who wants to come can come. I, Su Ren, have a mouthful to eat, and they will never be hungry!"
"That's right, sir, you are kind, and Laojun and grandpa are blessing you!" The old man said a few more gossips, and said goodbye with a cheerful face.
Natural punishment has become the focus of discussion among Wenshui people. From this natural punishment, Liu Wen and Hou Jian were said to be evil ghosts, and they got their retribution for causing trouble in Wenshui. Even the Liu family and the Hou family were left in the cold. Originally,
The two prosperous families were despised by the entire Wenshui family overnight.
Liu Wen was lying on the couch, with his legs still splinted by Su Ren himself. His face was pale, and if it weren't for the heaving and heaving of his chest, he would be no different from a dead person. Liu Tang leaned on a cane and looked at it for a long time with the support of his eldest grandson Liu Jun.
He hit the crutch hard on the ground.
"Hey! Just this little thing has crushed you? As long as the imperial decree does not come for a day, you will still be the Prime Minister of Wenshui County. Look at your appearance now, you look like the son of my Liu family! What kind of heavenly punishment, that boy
How dare you talk such nonsense? Why do you say that we are also from the Taizu lineage? Could it be that God is going to destroy the Liu family? Even if it is to be destroyed, it should start from Chang'an!"
Liu Jun's tears fell down and he tried hard not to cry.
Liu Tang glared: "And you, you are not as good as your father. Anyway, your father dares to go into battle with a knife, so you know how to cry! It's true that every generation is worse than the last!"
Hou Jian was sitting on a chair at the door. He didn't dare to go back home. The family members of the soldiers who died or were injured in the battle could eat him. According to Hou Si, many people gathered around the door of Hou's house every day, asking for help.
Hou Jian gave them an explanation. Why did they attack Laojun Temple? Why did their sons or husbands die so miserably? Grandpa Laojun wanted to punish Liu Wen and Hou Jian, but his family suffered. This account
Gotta do the math.
Liu Tang was angry for a long time, but Liu Wen remained silent and lay quietly without moving.
Liu Jun quickly helped his grandfather sit down. Liu Tang glanced at Hou Jian and said, "Hou Jian, what are you going to do? It seems that we can't live in Wenshui. I heard that Daxingling has set off from Chengdu and will arrive in Wenshui soon.
, if you want to leave, I won’t stop you, I just hope you can take Jun’er with you, this is the last single seedling of my Liu family, I can’t let the Liu family’s incense be cut off!”
Liu Jun quickly knelt down on the ground, with tears and runny nose running down his face: "Grandpa, I won't leave. What will you do if I leave? You will stay even if you die!"
Liu Tang looked at his grandson kneeling in front of him and couldn't help but burst into tears. When the Liu family was left in Wenshui, what a beautiful scene it was, but did he ever expect that it would end tragically today.
"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? The imperial decree will come soon. At that time, our Liu family will be raided and exterminated. If you don't leave, our Liu family will be doomed! Be obedient and leave with your Uncle Hou!"
"
Liu Jun cried even harder: "Grandpa...! Where can we go? The world is so big, there is no place for us!"
Liu Tang glanced at Hou Jian: "Now only Huainan can escape for a while. Speaking of it, it was Liu An who caused this incident. His son Liu Hong was sent back by us. Even if we can't protect you, we can take him in."
There is always no problem, even if we go bankrupt and give him everything we have, we still have to keep the Liu family and the Hou family!"
"Yelang can't go. That stinky woman has taken refuge in Su Ren. The news recently came from Wuyang that they are cleaning up the people we left there. She is determined to go against us. At first, I thought she was a
Help, they are all a bunch of guys who eat people but don’t spit out their bones!”
After Liu Tang said so much, Hou Jianhao sighed for a long time: "This is the only thing we can do! I will send someone to ask Hou Si to clean up and leave tonight!"
"Okay! Leave early and have peace of mind!"
"Grandpa! Oh..." Liu Jun cried even more sadly.
Chang Shi was happily drinking wine and admiring the flowers at home. He had already received an official document from the Prefect's Mansion. The general order had set off from Chengdu and would arrive in Wenshui soon. After a few days of precipitation, Wenshui County's prosperity was even better than before. People from all directions came from
Merchants easily took over the properties of the Liu family and the Hou family, of which Su Ren was a big part, and Wenshui County became lively.
This kind of scene is what Chang Shi likes to see. He believes that the only counties in the world that can compare with Wenshui are those in Chang'an. If a remote county like Wenshui can be managed so well, who will be promoted if Chang Shi doesn't promote him? Chang Shi
Don't expect too much from the prefect, just be a long history of the prefect's mansion or don't drive. I will be very satisfied.
In times of crisis, Zhang Hu, the male leader, was very loyal to him. Chang Shi admired this very much and wanted to promote him.
"Zhangtou! We Wenshui have been prosperous this year, and you have taken a lot of credit. This county sees it. When there is an opportunity in the future, we will report it to the court. You must take advantage of it and work hard. Wenshui is a good place with outstanding people.
have a future."
How could Zhang Hu not understand the meaning of Chang Shi? He quickly lifted up his clothes and knelt down: "Zhang Hu will remember the kindness of the county magistrate and will definitely repay him."
"Hehehe, get up, I'm not asking you to repay me, I'm just doing it for the good of the people here, as long as you don't let down the county's heart."
"Zhang Hu dare not forget the teachings of the county magistrate. The county magistrate is managing well in Wenshui today. The villain will do his best to avoid losing the reputation of the county magistrate."
"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved!" Chang Shi nodded and poured Zhang Hu a glass of wine with satisfaction. Zhang Hu quickly picked it up and drank with Chang Shi.
The situation in Wenshui changed suddenly. Some people were happy and some were sad. Of course, most people thought this was a good thing. The interests of all parties were satisfied in a natural punishment and everyone was happy.
When Cui Jiuming returned to Wenshui, his face was full of spring breeze, and his fat body was trembling. He pushed his buttocks and stuffed his fat body into the Taishi chair, and fanned himself hard with a fan. Fat people are afraid of heat, so they came from Wenshui by car.
When I arrived at Laojun Temple, I didn't walk a single step, but my body looked like it had been fished out of the river.
"It's so hot! Why isn't there a breath of wind?" Sitting opposite Su Ren, he poured himself tea without being greeted, looked up at the dense shade of the trees, and looked at the long incense trees.
The team members laughed and said: "Sir, this is a good move. A divine punishment will completely beat the Liu family and Hou family to pieces, and they will never be able to make another big wave."
"What do you mean my trick? That's Grandpa Laojun's appearance!" Su Ren corrected seriously.
"Haha!" Cui Jiuming chuckled: "Yes, yes, Grandpa Laojun has appeared! Not only Grandpa Laojun has appeared, but our Queen Mother has also appeared this time. She has issued a decree to escort the Liu family to the capital.
, if it doesn’t work, the whole family will be killed!”
"Okay!" Hawking, who had been beside him, couldn't help shouting "ok", and then thought: "There is only the Liu family, what about the Hou family?"
Cui Jiuming smiled slightly: "I didn't mention this, but Hou Jian will definitely not be able to escape this time. If he privately mobilized troops to attack Mr. Su, who has a title, he will at least be dismissed from office! What's more, Prefect Wen and Mr. Su are still friends.
, you have to take care of it no matter what."
Su Ren didn't mean anything to this topic. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you ever found out what the purpose of this Da Xing Ling went to Yelang?"
"Where can I go to find out? No one can tell me, and no one dares to tell me!" Cui Jiuming felt helpless.
Su Ren frowned.
Cui Jiuming quickly asked: "What else did Mr. Su think of?"
Su Ren pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say! Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible! We, the big men, rarely have contact with Yelang. It is very abnormal to suddenly send a big order. If your majesty wants to appease Yelang, prepare to send troops to the north.
, the Empress Dowager will definitely not agree, if for other reasons, a small country like Yelang does not need to make a trip in person."
"Sir, you are joking. I am a big man and dare to send troops to the north. The Huns are brave and good at fighting. People have bullied us from ancient times to the present. If we bully others, otherwise Qin Shihuang would not have built the Great Wall."
Su Ren glanced at Cui Jiuming: "It's just because there are too many people like you, a big man, that we repeatedly trade women for peace. This is the tragedy of us men!"
"It's sad or not. We just need to take good care of our area and don't worry about other things!" Cui Jiuming moved his chair forward and put his belly on the table: "Last time you said you were going to establish the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce.
My father and I discussed the matter and thought it was feasible. My father would like to ask, what kind of merchants do you think is suitable? It must be a mixed bag, and there needs to be a boundary."
Su Ren stretched out: "We will talk about this later. Let's talk slowly after the general order is gone! Let's first appreciate the imperial decree and how it completely destroyed the Liu family. I am more aware of this now.
