retaliate

Chapter 161 The old man is convincing people with reasoning (add 6 for 'Sister Yu who beat up Sir Dybala')

Incense was burned in the value room.

When Yang Xuan arrived, Zhou Ning was rubbing incense sticks.

"what is this?"

"Smell." Zhou Ning closed his eyes.

Yang Xuan sniffed, "Ah Ning, you have an indescribable aura on your body. It's not even fragrant, but it smells good."

Zhou Ning opened his eyes, feeling ashamed and annoyed, "It's that incense."

"Aha! You actually described a woman's body fragrance in such a simple way, genius!" Suzaku said.

Yang Xuan sniffed, "It's quite peaceful."

"It's for concentration." Zhou Ning said while rubbing, "I found a prescription from a metaphysics senior, saying that this kind of incense is most suitable for cultivation. You have complicated things in the northern border, and you can't calm down. , I’ll bring a few boxes back when I’m done.”

The two of them rubbed and rubbed side by side.

The twisted incense sticks had to be dried, Zhou Ning asked, "When will you go back?"

"There are still two days."

Four eyes facing each other.

"Assistant."

A small official came outside.

The two quickly sat up straight, a sneaky feeling arose spontaneously.

"Aning."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you have such a prescription?"

"What formula?"

"that is……"

Later, Zhou Ning blushed, and Yang Xuan apologized.

"Second lady!"

Xie Yu came, his eyes swept over Yang Xuan, and then he saw Zhou Ning's slightly red face, and he became angry instantly.

But he is only in charge, not the master.

So he suppressed his anger, "Second lady, there is a banquet at home today, and my husband wants you to go back."

He added: "The guests have admired the name of the Zhou family for a long time, and they respect the second lady even more."

This is a hint.

Xie Yu glanced at Yang Xuan, seeing his calm expression, couldn't help but smile in his heart.

"I'm not free today."

Zhou Ning got up, "Go back and tell Aye that I'm not free recently."

Xie Yu respectfully said: "Yes, the villain will leave."

After he left, Zhou Ning glanced at Yang Xuan, "This is Xie Yu, the steward of the family. He used to come to the Imperial College."

"You don't need to explain." Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Zhou is Zhou, and you are you."

Zhou Ning lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes fluttering.

"Aning."

"Ok!"

"Do you think I like horses or chess?"

"Let's play chess!"

"No, I like you."

……

The early summer in northern Xinjiang is like a magnificent picture scroll, with beautiful scenery everywhere.

The same is true for Tanzhou.

Groups of cattle and sheep move slowly on the grassland, like clouds.

The herdsmen rode their horses and followed, and the melodious singing came slowly.

Daliao emperor's uncle He Lianchun was watching this scene not far away.

"This year the pasture is rich and the cattle and sheep will grow strong."

Local officials are claiming credit.

But Uncle Huang was indifferent.

Am I wrong?

The magistrate's brain twitched suddenly, "Thanks to the new canal built by the emperor, the grass can be luxuriant and the crops can be harvested."

There was a touch of satisfaction on Uncle Huang's face, and he patted him on the shoulder, "Not bad."

The local official smiled flatteringly, "I don't know the emperor, but since the construction of water conservancy projects, the people of Tanzhou have been rejoicing! Many people have spontaneously prepared Wanmin umbrellas, and some people say that there is no emperor in Tanzhou, and it has long since fallen! "

It's embarrassing to drag a text!

The officials in the same company felt that this person was unlearned and incompetent.

Uncle Huang coughed dryly, his obese body trembling slightly, "Tomorrow, the king will prepare a banquet tomorrow."

This meant preparing to take him under the uncle's wing.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

The official was grateful and wished he could pounce on the emperor's uncle's boots.

Ugly!

But other officials wished they could replace him with their own bodies.

Uncle Huang coughed dryly, "The matter of water conservancy needs to be paid close attention to. But this king is busy with everything, and this matter has to fall on others. You have to supervise it."

"Yes!"

Someone said: "Uncle Huang, there is a messenger."

More than ten riders galloped over, "Where is the emperor?"

"This king is here!"

The messenger approached and said, "Your Majesty has orders."

Uncle Huang waved his hand, and the others dispersed.

The messenger then said: "Your Majesty ordered the emperor to instigate the three major ministries to harass Chen Zhou."

He Lianchun nodded and asked, "Lin Ya was defeated, did His Majesty kill him?"

The envoy said: "Your Majesty is magnanimous, and the right minister is grateful and swears allegiance to His Majesty."

"Heh!" Uncle Huang smiled innocently, "Good thing. Report back to Your Majesty, this king knows about it."

The messenger rode away.

Behind him, the uncle said faintly: "This king's business!"

Back at his residence, He Lianchun found his confidant Liu Song.

"Your Majesty ordered this king to instigate three major ministries to harass Chenzhou, what do you think?"

The little old man Liu Song said: "After Lin Ya lost a battle, His Majesty was obviously in a happy mood, but he wanted to pretend to be angry."

"You are also a wonderful person." He Lianchun smiled naively, "With Lin Ya's defeat, the conspiracy case at the end of last year can be regarded as a temporary cessation."

Liu Song said: "Originally, if Lin Ya was defeated, Xiao Hua's ambush would be effective, and then he would turn defeat into victory, and His Majesty would be able to shoot Lin Ya to death. But I didn't expect Huang Chunhui to withdraw his troops, Lin Ya bumped into the ambush, this It's embarrassing and makes people want to find a way to get in."

"Huang Chunhui ruined His Majesty's plan, but he is old, so he should go back." He Lianchun stroked his short beard, "Have someone go to the three major departments and tell them that this year is not good. I heard that they are getting richer, so go grab some."

……

"Harassing Chenzhou?"

"Correct."

"Ben Khan knows."

Khan Huazhuo of the Vasie tribe sent off the emperor's uncle's envoy, turned around and entered the big tent.

"This is venting anger!"

Wahai who was sitting in the corner coughed dryly.

"Has the injury not healed yet?" Hua Zhuo asked with concern.

Wa Hai shook her head, "It's still a bit worse, but it's not a big problem to do it."

"I will avenge you when I find the perpetrator!" Hua Zhuo gritted his teeth fiercely.

Wahai said: "It is said that it is King Wei."

Huazhuo: "..."

If King Wei is killed, no matter what temper the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has, unless the uncle can bring the Vasie tribe under his wing, he will have no choice but to run away.

Wahai pursed her thin lips lightly, "It doesn't matter. By the way, disturbing Chenzhou... Where are we disturbing?"

"Taiping, of course." Hua Zhuo said with a sinister smile, "Taiping planted a lot of grain this year, and he stepped on it all."

"How many troops do we need to dispatch?" Wahai said calmly, "Is it worth it to take chestnuts from the Northern Liao fire?"

"Look first." Hua Zhuo calmed down.

……

"What is the next door doing?"

King Wei was going to be moldy in the house.

Huang Ping said with a smile: "Director Cao Ying, there are two other women who stay in the back house all day long, and Nan He is training soldiers. Your Majesty, the Taiping Army is fully armored this time, and there are a lot more cavalry. They have been practicing at the foot of the mountain all day long." .”

"Your Majesty."

A guard came in, "A letter from the princess."

King Wei said with a cold face, "Why do you write a letter if you have nothing to do?"

He took the letter and opened it, read it quickly, then squinted his eyes and thought.

Huang Ping knew that something was wrong, he waved his hand, and the guards left.

"The king of Yue is quite friendly in the southern border." King Wei sneered, "This brat is trying to buy people's hearts!"

Huang Ping said: "The king of Yue is weak, and buying people's hearts will not help."

"Aye was furious and scolded the prince for not taking good care of his body. This matter is strange."

"This... Your Majesty wants to reuse the prince again?"

King Wei frowned, "A family of four surnames is behind him, such a prince will only make Aye jealous."

The neighbor next door was wondering why the emperor suddenly changed his view of the prince, and was quite troubled.

Yi Niang is not much better.

"If you want to give the butt first, it's the butt!"

"Hey! Walk softly, you walk so stiffly, where is the softness of a woman? Will your husband be moved when he sees it?"

Zhang Siniang wanted to cry.

Yi Niang said harshly: "Practice again."

After dinner, she talked to Cao Ying.

"Zhang Siniang's understanding is not high."

"It's okay if it's long." Cao Ying stroked her beard.

"Do you think Mr. Lang will lack beauties in the future?"

"Lang Jun has no shortage of beauties, but he lacks beauties who can be trusted. So you train Zhang Siniang, and want her to be the woman who takes care of affairs by your side, right?"

"Old fox!" Yiniang said with some emotion, "People's hearts are unpredictable. To be honest, I can't even trust Zhang Siniang."

"You are stunned." Cao Ying felt a little funny, "How can there be someone trustworthy in this world?"

"That's right, you can only trust them if you let your husband hold their life, death, honor, disgrace, wealth and honor."

"Calm down, Zhang Siniang walks up and down in the back house all day, be careful of limping."

"Hey! When do you think Mr. Lang will come back?"

"Where does the old man know?"

"Old Cao, something is wrong with you recently."

"What do you mean?"

"You look tired, are you going to be a thief?"

"..."

"How about I give you acupuncture?"

"The old man is afraid of dying under your silver needle."

Cao Ying rubbed her eyes, "Taiping's population is increasing, and there are more and more affairs. The terrible thing is that Taiping has become a favorite now, and some people want to come to work."

"Huh! Isn't this a good thing?" Yiniang smiled and said, "The county is short of a lot of manpower, so here are a few just to help."

Cao Ying raised her head, "They want to be the old man's superior."

"The magistrate?"

"Correct!"

"They are beautiful!"

Cao Ying said: "Now Taiping has the Taiping army, cattle and sheep, and has reclaimed a lot of fields. In time, it will be Jiangnan outside the Great Wall. How many people are coveted."

"It's because of your strength."

"Yes!"

In Lin'an city.

"My lord, many people want to go to Taiping recently, which is rare."

Lu Qiang entered the duty room with a smile.

Liu Qing put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his face and eyes, "Those people have taken a fancy to the prosperity of Taiping, but they can't see the crisis."

"Yes!" Lu Qiang sat down, "Beiliao is newly defeated, and will come to retaliate no matter what. The Vasie Department is just across from Taiping, hey! Mr. Lord, why do I feel that Taiping can't be defended by someone else?"

Liu Qing nodded, "When Yang Xuan went to Taiping, the first thing he did was to convince those criminals. To be honest, the integrity of those criminals is estimated to be stronger than that of many officials. If someone else goes, I'm afraid they won't be able to suppress them."

"They want to plan for the post of county magistrate."

Liu Qing said: "Let them come, the old man will see for himself."

Later, five officials came in.

"They all look good."

Liu Qing's first sentence made the five people happy.

"Being the county magistrate, waiting for Yang Xuan to take over after being promoted, and then using the Taiping army to make military exploits, this idea is very good, I don't think there is a problem, just say a word."

The five looked up with burning eyes.

"Where's your face?" Liu Qing patted the table, and the long-lost envoy roared.

"Where's the face!"

"It's common for officials to be shameless, and they can't be promoted if they have face. What the old man asked was, how much face do you wait for, and think you can suppress those murderers?"

"It's not just the Taiping Army, there are all kinds of people in the city, murderers, thieves, liars..."

"How many county magistrates were defeated in Taiping back then? It wasn't until Yang Xuan left that they became more attractive. Do you think that if he can do it, you can do it yourself?"

"roll!"

Outside the door, more than a dozen travel-worn people got off their horses, and the leader praised: "Your voice is full of spirit, good."

Menzi cupped his hands, "I've seen Yang Mingfu, Yang Mingfu came back from Chang'an."

"Well, go and report."

Menzi shook his head, "The envoy said, you can go directly to Yang Ming's mansion."

This preferential treatment is gone.

Yang Xuan just went in and didn't go far, when he saw five disheveled officials come out.

"Hey! How did these people see my face of shame and indignation?"

The old thief nodded, "He looks a little ashamed and angry, but I don't know why."

Wang Lao Er said, "I must think that Lang Jun is more handsome than them, so I'm jealous."

This baby!

"The second child is getting smarter."

Yang Xuan smiled and entered the duty room.

"I've seen the envoy, I've seen don't drive."

"Hey! Zitai is back."

Lu Qiang got up and smiled, "This person really can't say anything, he will come as soon as he says it."

Liu Qing kept a straight face, "Is there anything to gain from this trip to Chang'an?"

"Yes." Yang Xuan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it down.

"The prime minister has become a gentleman."

"But you stayed in Chang'an?" Liu Qing's face changed slightly.

"No, we're back together this time."

Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Ministry of War allocated a batch of armor and weapons to Beijiang, envoy, I have contributed a lot to this matter, and I should share the bulk."

After hearing what happened, Liu Qing scolded: "You think you can talk about that old bastard Song Zhen with just one mouth? Shit! This is obviously a move by those people to block public opinion."

Lu Qiang explained: "In the past, Chang'an treated Beijiang poorly, and everyone knew about it. If the government doesn't get some good things, let alone Beijiang, I'm afraid Chang'an will be scolded... scolded!"

Who are you scolding?

Scold the dog emperor!
The three looked at each other, and a tacit understanding was born.

Liu Qing remembered the previous incident, "By the way, your Taiping still lacks officials, and this old man will fill in for you."

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Ambassador. However, the Ministry of Officials said that the current Taiping County Lieutenant Cao Ying has done a good job, and he is going to be promoted to the county magistrate."

This matter was erased.

"Beiliao is newly defeated. Be careful of their revenge. You are in front of Taiping, and Hua Zhuo hates you." Liu Qing got up, "If this is the case, I won't keep you, so go back quickly."

"Emissary." Yang Xuan bowed his hands solemnly.

"Go." Liu Qing waved his hand.

"Emissary." Yang Xuan cupped his hands again.

Liu Qing's cheeks trembled slightly, "You're an old man and you still want to hit the old man's autumn wind?"

"It takes a thousand catties." Yang Xuan refused to back down.

"You have your own sheep, but most of the slaughtered ones are dried meat."

"That's the seed!" Yang Xuan said in grief and indignation: "I won't eat the seed if I starve to death, and I won't eat the breeding sheep if I die of poverty!"

"You motherfucker said it was easy to say, I'll give you eight hundred catties, get out!"

"Thank you, Shijun, I will come back next month." Yang Xuan cupped his hands and bid farewell.

"Come again, old man, break your legs!"

Amidst the roar, Yang Xuan found the official in charge, "Eight hundred catties of dried meat, hurry up!"

"Damn it, it's like a gangster, it's almost like eating the old man's flesh." Liu Qing scolded with a smile.

Lu Qiang said in a low voice: "Cao Ying's promotion must be due to the relationship operated by Yang Xuan himself."

"Are you worried that Taiping will become a whole?"

"Yes."

"If something happens to Taiping, can we support at any time?"

"Difficult, the road is too far."

"Since you can't help, then let go and let the young people go about their business."

Liu Qing turned around and said softly: "Chang'an is holding back my northern border. Could it be that I, Chenzhou, follow suit and hold back Taiping?"

Lu Qiang smiled wryly, "I'm just worried that someone will criticize me."

"This old man is here, whoever wants to criticize, come and argue with the old man first."

"The envoy has a loud voice and is famous in northern Xinjiang. Most people would dare not, for fear of being sprayed with saliva all over the face by you."

"The old man convinces people with reason!"
