Chapter 46: County Magistrate Xu Is Not Dead?
"The name of Yanmen City comes from the Yanmen Pass in the south of the city. The terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The name of Yanmen Pass is because the two mountains are high and continuous, and birds cannot fly over them. There is a gap between the two mountains, which is shaped like a gate. The pass is natural and swan geese come and go, so it is called Yanmen Pass.

Before the Great Xia Emperor captured Yanmen Pass, he once said, "If you win Yanmen, you will gain the Central Plains; if you lose Yanmen, you will lose the world." Looking far away, one relaxes one's ambition.

Among them, the most famous one is that in the ninth year of Yuanhe, there was a rebellion in Yanmen City, and Zhang Xu led the order to suppress it. The poet Li He wrote impromptu poems, resulting in a famous line through the ages:

'Black clouds overwhelm the city, and the city is about to be destroyed, and Jiaguang opens to the sun's golden scales.The sound of horns fills the sky in the autumn scenery, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple.

The half-rolled red flag is facing Yishui, the frost is heavy, the drum is cold, and there is no sound.Report your intentions on the golden platform, and lead Yulong to die for you! '

nice!I am Yanmenguan! "

Yanmen City, Baokangmen Street, a teahouse next to the county school, a student was eloquent, telling the history of Yanmen City to a father and daughter who had just entered the city beside him.

The father has an honest face, wearing a short brown linen jacket with half-arms covered, a belt, trousers on the lower body, and hemp shoes on his feet. He looks like a peddler.

The daughter is about thirteen or fourteen years old, with buns on her head, a narrow gown and a long skirt, and a shawl on her shoulders. Although her skin is a bit rough from the peasants, she has a pair of big eyes looking around, with a certain aura.

The scholar's name is Zhang Zhongdao, and he is a student of Yanmencheng County. He is taking a rest today, and when he was passing the time in the tea shop outside, he happened to meet this father and daughter.

Therefore, I took the initiative to explain the history of the city to the father and daughter who had lived outside the city for a long time and entered Yanmen City for the first time.

"Speaking of the battles that took place at Yanmen Pass, there are too many to count. Two days ago, in the "Mathematics" class, Master Chu asked us a question.

It is said that when Yanmen City was first built, the Great Xia had not yet been unified, and there was a country called Han, with a famous general named Han Xin.

He once led troops to garrison Yanmen City. Among the 500 soldiers under his command, [-] died in battle. Four people; standing in a row of seven people, there are three more people.

Ask, how many soldiers does Han Xin have under his command? "

Zhang Zhongdao ignored the father and daughter from the corner of his eye, intending to show off his level, "Do you know what the result of this question is?"

Wen Yu was drowsy at first, but she listened to this man talking non-stop for half an hour, and because of her "delicate and shy" personality, she couldn't leave rashly, so she just stared at the ground shyly. Actually wandering.

I really admire Second Uncle Xu, who is very happy to chat with this student, and never tired of it.

The father and daughter are exactly Wen Yu and Xu Laoer who entered the city at five o'clock. Because they were in a hurry last time, they only bought what they needed near Nanxun Gate and left in a hurry. Leaving in front of the door, Wen Yu and Xu Lao Er had the idea of ​​inquiring about the news.

Especially why the city gate was opened only after being closed for a day, and why was the city so peaceful, as if the county magistrate's death had never happened?

So Wen Yu and Xu Laoer crossed Nanxunmenli Street, and first went to the teahouse on Maxing Street to have a look, but they couldn't find the storyteller.

So he changed direction and went to the most well-informed and most sensitive places in the city--county schools, government offices, restaurants and other places that only the children of scholars can enter.

And because of their identities, they finally chose to befriend the students of the county school at the tea shop next to the county school, to lure, bah, to make friends!
"One thousand and four."

Wen Yu's tone was flat, and he gave the result without any disturbance.

"."

Zhang Zhongdao, who was about to shake off the results, paused, his face seemed to tighten three points, and finally he chose to praise, "The little girl is so amazing!"

Xu Laoer knew that the conversation was about to end, so he handed Zhang Zhongdao up the steps quite warmly, "Brother Zhang, I brought my little girl to Yanmen City for the first time. Fortunately, I met Brother Zhang and explained it to us. Let’s take a look at the past and present of Yanmen City.”

"Hey—you're welcome, Brother Xu."

Zhang Zhongdao raised his eyebrows, and said politely, "It's a little effort, a little effort."

"But after all, we have never seen such a prosperous scene, and there are so many elders. I am afraid that I will offend the nobles, and I would like to ask Brother Zhang to mention something. Is there anything to pay attention to in this city recently?"

Xu Lao Er bowed his waist and bowed his head, vividly acting the peddler's anxiety.

"If you want to talk about major events in the city, there was one a few days ago. The city gate was inexplicably sealed for a whole day, but the government didn't give an explanation. The county magistrate Xu was nowhere to be seen, but the county government was full of people and shadows all day long."

Zhang Zhongdao said, thinking that this matter must have nothing to do with the father and daughter in front of him, so he didn't intend to talk more, "But the city gate will be opened on the second day, and the atmosphere of Yanmen City is bold and unrestrained. As long as Brother Xu doesn't do evil There is no doubt that no one will intentionally bully you."

"However, if Brother Xu really meets someone who is unreasonable," Zhang Zhongdao paused, feeling that he had to think carefully for his friend, "you can go to the Military Patrol Office for help."

"In Yanmen City, every [-] paces or so, there are soldiers patrolling the shophouses, five soldiers patrolling at night, collecting official duties."

Xu Laoer thanked me again and again, with a grateful expression on his face, "Thank you Brother Zhang for your reminder, Brother Zhang really treats me like a brother!"

Zhang Zhongdao didn't expect Xu's second child to be so sincere, and he raised Brother Xu's status to another level in his heart.

"However, my little girl and I still need to sell the goods we brought. It's not early at this time, so we have to leave first."

Xu Laoer took advantage of the opportunity to bid farewell, and the reasons he gave were also in line with his identity.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongdao sighed with some regret, but it was not good to force people to stay, so he had to stand up and salute, "It's okay, Brother Xu, go slowly."

Xu Laoer picked up the basket on the ground and took Wen Yu away from the tea shop. Only when he was out of Zhang Zhongdao's sight did Xu Laoer ask, "Where shall we go next?"

Wen Yusi and herself also promised the storyteller to rescue her friend Wei Jin and buy medicinal materials. As for why An Yuheng's plan ended like this, she just cared about it by the way, so as not to implicate herself, and it's okay not to know the result.

"Go to the pharmacy first. This morning, Village Chief Tian told me that the cost of the medicinal materials will be paid by the village. Every injured family needs to pay the cost, and the leftover medicinal materials will be kept by the public."

As Wen Yu said, he took Xu Laoer to turn around and entered Xiaohuohang Alley. After passing through the alley, there was Qiumen Street. There were many famous pharmacies and medical clinics on both sides of this road.

After Zhang Zhongdao heard the story that Xu Laoer said that because his wife was seriously ill, he came to the city to sell some goods to earn money so that he could buy medicine for his wife, he introduced the major pharmacies in Yanmen City.

For example, Du Jingou’s and Cao’s houses, which specialize in deafness and tinnitus medicine “Dusheng Pill”, Shanshui Li’s house, which specializes in percussion and throat medicine, Shi Yu’er Banfang and Yinhaier Bai Langzhong’s, which specialize in pediatrics, and obstetrics. Ren's big shoes.

Wen Yu and Xu Laoer chose the "Hundred Spring Hall" with the best reputation.

While collecting the medicine, Wen Yu heard the conversation of the people around him who were also waiting to collect the medicine.

Today is the tenth day of June. A few days ago, June 24th was Cui Fujun’s birthday, and June [-]th was Guankou Erlang’s birthday. During this period, there were social fire performances in temples in the west of the city every day.

And today's Baixi performance will have the county magistrate personally present to pray for everyone.

Wen Yu felt suspicious when he heard the news.

Isn't magistrate Xu dead? ! !
