Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 1271 A Person Who Doesn't Understand

There is a boundary between the secular world and the world of cultivation, although both demonic and evil cultivators have no integrity to speak of.But the more such people are, the less likely they are to be bound by worldly people. They look down on ordinary people, so how can they be used by ordinary people?Unless it is a secular person who can come up with a huge temptation.

However, this is tantamount to playing with fire and setting yourself on fire.Ye Yaoguang believes that those evil cultivators and demon cultivators prefer to plunder directly by force rather than being coerced into trading with secular people. They will not be afraid of being stained with murder, and they will not care whether the other party is high-ranking or not. Killing one person changes the fate of many people.

Therefore, it is impossible for evil cultivators and demonic cultivators to do this kind of thing, and orthodox cultivators, not to mention their character, since they don't want to fall into the way of demons, they should at least cherish their feathers.

Therefore, the most likely reason for transporting such a large amount of money away was artificially.

"What's Hu Ting's face like?" Wen Tingzhan suddenly asked Ye Yaoguang.

This was the first time Wen Tingzhan asked about Ye Yaoguang's face alone, and felt that Wen Tingzhan might be suspicious of Hu Ting, so he couldn't help asking first, "Why do you doubt Hu Ting?"

"It was he who said something himself that made me suspicious." Wen Tingzhan had a clear smile on his lips, "He said that in the whole Huguang, few people could pass him. The gates of the city were strictly searched, and only Liu Jumin dragged his family with him, and the guards of the city only checked face to face, and the female family members of the Liu family were not to be offended."

"What's wrong with that?" Ye Yaoguang didn't sound like Wen Tingzhan.

"There's something wrong." Wen Ting's dark eyes, like black pearls in the dark night, quietly radiate brilliance in the moonlight, "This reveals a message, that is, apart from Liu Jumin, the only one who can transport so many There is another one for the tax bank."

"Himself!" Ye Yaoguang immediately reacted, and immediately smiled, "This time, Ah Zhan, you suspect the wrong person. I have already seen Hu Ting's face. He has clear roots, a fat chest, and a skinny neck. , This is a typical upright person."

Wen Tingzhan was a little stunned for a moment. In fact, although he had such a little doubt in his heart, he also felt that he was a little hard to judge Hu Ting, especially since he had checked Hu Ting's background. Hu Ting was really A rare hardworking general.

No profiteering, no corruption, no flattery, and because of his temper, he is always easy to offend people.If he hadn't been lucky, the Shangfeng he met happened to be someone with the same temper as him, so he was promoted all the way to the command post.And this person really has a bit of luck. He has just become a commander. The former commander of Huguang has resigned. Many people are waiting to see him go down with him. It just so happens that there is a big flood in Huguang, and the whole of Hubei is in danger. , the soldiers stationed are working tirelessly to assist local officials in flood control.

At that time, His Majesty had only been enthroned for a few years, had just regained the power from the powerful family, and was about to rectify the imperial court, but encountered such a thing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang were almost swallowed by floods, the people were displaced, and there were many complaints. His Majesty's reputation was at its worst at that time.

This period of history was told to him by Master Chu himself, which is much more thrilling than the few words in the history books. For His Majesty, Master Chu came to the hardest-hit area in Huguang regardless of his own safety. Heart, but did not expect to be able to survive.During this flood, Hu Ting led thousands of soldiers under him to stand at the forefront, and was almost washed away by the flood several times.Thousands of people, in the end there were only dozens of people left, all buried in the river, and when the flood receded, they were already corpses.

It can be said that more than ten years ago, without the sacrifice of these thousands of people, Hubei would have been burned to the ground. After asking for reinforcements from Huguang's political envoy and capital commander at that time to no avail, he dared to hold up a big knife and hijacked the two immediate superiors with all his strength, snatched the dispatch order from them, and led people to rush Only then did Emperor Chu's plan come into play.

Afterwards, it was Emperor Chu who personally wrote a letter to His Majesty, and Hu Ting was praised by His Majesty. He immediately took up the post of Tongzhi, the commander of the third grade.

Speaking of Hu Ting, even Master Chu admired and loved him. Last year when Min Zhao fell, Master Chu even wanted to promote Hu Ting. His Majesty also felt that Hu Ting was reliable, but Hu Ting rejected him.

"Why did he refuse?"

The nine admirals and the governor are of the same rank, they are senior officials of the second rank, responsible for His Majesty's comfort, guarding the entire imperial city, how many people are trying to squeeze in.

"He told the teacher very frankly that he could not be an official in Beijing, and his ancestral home was Hubei, and he wanted to spend his whole life guarding the land where he was born." Master Chu had discussed with him about this matter, and he was particularly impressed It is also because after Hu Ting refused, Master Chu and their people never cared who was promoted, and let His Majesty go down to make a decision.

"Actually, this makes sense." Ye Yaoguang agreed. He had been in Huguang for so many years, and all the generals under his command were brought out by him. He was suddenly transferred to the capital. Not to mention whether the people in the capital would accept him, even for these people, he would not accept him. I can't let go, and the homesickness of the ancients is particularly heavy.

"Yao Yao, I've never suspected that he is the same as the county magistrate for nine years, is he reluctant to move?" Wen Tingzhan raised his eyebrows.

"Eh..." Wen Tingzhan didn't mention this, Ye Yaoguang hadn't reacted yet, but when Wen Tingzhan mentioned this, Ye Yaoguang thought this way, why did she have the same reaction as the county magistrate in those nine years? different?The reason is that the county magistrate is a big official, and the commander of the capital is already a third-rank official. He holds a military power and is at ease. It is better than going to the foot of the imperial city and losing his life if he is not careful.

"Have you ever asked Guo Jianting, how is Hu Ting?" Guo Jianting is the governor of Zhili, and he can be regarded as Hu Ting's immediate boss. It is inevitable that he will come and go on a daily basis.

"Guo Jianting answered my two words." Wen Tingzhan raised two fingers, "Gen and Zhi."

Geng means bright and upright, while Zhi means upright.

After hearing this, Ye Yaoguang said, "There are so many people, it's impossible for them to miss all of them. I don't think there's anything wrong with Hu Ting."

Ye Yaoguang believed in her physiognomy so much that she either couldn't see it, or she couldn't see it wrong.

"Well, maybe I'm suspicious." Wen Tingzhan also nodded, even Ye Yaoguang said that Hu Ting is an upright person, so there can be no mistake.

Besides, he didn't have much confidence in his own doubts.
