Chapter 674
Chang'an City.

Miaoxian Tower is a famous restaurant in Chang'an.

At this moment, in the Tianzi No. [-] room, there are twelve young people gathered together, drinking and drinking, it is very lively.

These 12 people are all rich or noble people in Chang'an City, and they are all officials of the Ministry of Officials. They originally stayed well in the Ministry of Officials, but they were arranged by His Majesty to go to Hu County to assist Du He, the county magistrate. When everyone thought of this, they became angry.

Today is the deadline for Du He to ask everyone to rush to Hu County.

However, no one took it seriously.

Instead, twelve people gathered in Miaoxian Building, preparing to get drunk.

"Everyone, are you really planning to go to that place in Huxian County where the birds don't shit?" someone asked.

Someone said: "To be honest, I don't want to go!"

"I don't want to go either. I'm the old man of our family who insists on forcing me to go. He also said that if I don't go, it's disrespectful!"

"Yes, here lies the crux of the problem. Although His Majesty did not issue an order on this matter, he knew about it. If we don't go, it will be against the order, and we will have to be cleaned up by the family!"

"Huxian, we have to go, but we can't go so soon. Didn't Du He tell me that I have to go to Huxian today? Well, let's go later and see what he can do. When we arrive in Huxian, Don't expect Du He to let me wait to work, it would be a good thing for me to go shopping and eat every day!" Someone suddenly suggested.

"Correct!"

"support!"

"Yes!"

This proposal has been echoed by everyone.

Time passed quickly, and it was already the third day after the time set by Du He.

These 12 people just met and set off from Chang'an City, and hurried to Hu County in a leisurely manner.

12 people, even with more than 20 carriages, and servant girls, etc., there are five or sixty people.

Departed from Chang'an in the morning, and arrived in Hu County in the evening.

When they came to the gate of the dilapidated city wall in Hu County, everyone complained again.

"I originally thought that Hu County was a place where no birds shit, but I didn't expect it to be a place where there are no birds at all!"

"Stay in this kind of place for a few days, people will go crazy!"

"No, I'm going back tomorrow, Du He has to agree if he doesn't agree!"

Everyone talked a lot, and then they were about to enter the county.

But when he reached the door, he was stopped.

I saw that the city guards were seven or eight men, dressed in casual clothes, carrying sticks, with extraordinary bearing.

Seeing that they could not enter the city, everyone was angry.

A young man in the lead cursed: "You are blind, don't you know who I am?"

The men shook their heads.

The young man said angrily: "Hmph, I am the nephew of the eldest grandson Wuji of Sikong Sikong, eldest grandson Hongcong, open your eyes and take a good look! You dare to stop me, don't you want to live? We are all sent by His Majesty , came to Hu County to help Du He, Du He, go and call him, I waited for the boat and car to come from Chang'an, but I didn't see Du He personally coming to greet him, what's the reason for that?"

One of the men saw this and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Changsun, the county magistrate has an order. You have been late for three days. Hu County doesn't need you people. You, please go back!"

Please come back?

Everyone is a little dumbfounded!
Although no one wanted to come to Hu County, but at this time it was arranged by the court after all, if he went back like this, he would be laughed at and died, not to mention that he couldn't do business.

Changsun Hongcong was furious, raised his horsewhip, and wanted to whip the man who spoke, but was grabbed by the other party, "Mr. Changsun, the county magistrate said that this place is Hu County, not Chang'an, so you can't do anything foolish. You, please go back." Come on, come on, close the door!"

Rumble.

The dilapidated door closed.

Twelve guys were locked outside the city gate.

Everyone was shocked.

"Young master grandson, what should we do now?"

"Yeah, we can't really go back to Chang'an. At that time, we won't be able to lose face even if the court blames us."

"Du He, it's really hateful!"

Everyone talked a lot, and all looked at Changsun Hongcong.

Changsun Hongcong said helplessly: "I will definitely report this to my uncle in the future. Hmph, Du He must be unable to eat and walk around, but we can't go now, otherwise we will be afraid of Du He. Does Du He not let us go?" Are you going into the city? Let's wait here to see when he opens the door. If he goes out of the city to welcome him tomorrow, we won't go in unless Du He apologizes to us!"

"Yes, Du He must apologize!"

"If Du He doesn't apologize, I won't go in!"

The people gathered their chariots and horses together and waited under the city gate.

Soon, it was dark.

The city was lit up.

Cooking smoke rose.

There was a burst of fragrance, and it turned out that people in the city started to light a fire and cook.

Changsun Hongcong waited for the others, his stomach growled, but there was nothing to eat.

Although these guys have a complete set of chariots and horses, they are all for use, for play, but not for food.

Right now, I'm starving.

Changsun Hong asked people to shout into the city, wanting to get some food, but no one answered at all.

In addition to hunger, the temperature dropped slowly, getting colder and colder.

Seeing this, everyone had to dismantle the carriage and light a fire to keep warm.

……

Huxian County Government.

Ma Zhou asked, "Could it be that we really want to put these guys outside the city, in case something happens?"

Du He shook his head: "Nothing good or bad will happen. Besides, I have already asked Zecheng to lead people to watch. These second-generation ancestors have been pampered since childhood, and the officials threw them to me. It's not that they are useful, but they are useless, and they are good at It is a pity that Hu County does not support idlers. When these guys come, they have to work. If you want them to work, you must first kill their prestige, including the officials of the Sixth Department. Color, they really thought that this young master didn't run a dyeing workshop!"

Ma Zhou shook his head helplessly.

It's not good to provoke anyone of these guys, they insist on provoking Du He.

Now, I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky!
……

In the middle of the night, all the carriages that could be burned were burned out.

It was getting colder and colder, Changsun Hongcong and others had no choice but to have all the remaining carriages brought and burned.

The well-endowed team suddenly turned into a mess.

After finally surviving until dawn, I thought the city gate would open, but until the sun was three poles, the city gate was still closed, and there was no intention of opening it at all.

Zhang Sun Hongcong and others panicked immediately.

It's not cold during the day, but everyone can't help being hungry.

Two colleagues even fainted from hunger.

Changsun Hong never had someone shout into the city.

Not long after, a man in his 30s appeared on the tower. It was Ma Zhou.

When Changsun Hongcong saw Ma Zhou, he was overjoyed: "Master Ma, please save me and give us something to eat, otherwise we will starve to death."

"Master Ma, help me!"

Everyone shouted.

Ma Zhou smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, I understand your feelings, but this is Hu County, not Chang'an, so the county magistrate has the final say. However, I have pleaded for everyone, and Du He promised to let you go." Entering the city, but before entering the city, the treaty must be signed, what do you think?"

As he spoke, Ma Zhou waved his hand and asked someone to hang down a basket of contracts.
