Horse on the World

Chapter 642 Visitation
You Xuzhi, the magistrate of Chongxian County, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Mr. Luo sent a secret order saying that the commander-in-chief would come to Chongxian County. From then on, he sent the three classes of yamen servants out under various names to improve Taiwan's law and order. Several confidantes even scattered in disguise on the main roads of traffic. As soon as he found the trace of the commander, he immediately came to report back.

Everything was well arranged, but a heavy rain made all the arrangements go to waste. According to the schedule, the commander should have arrived last night, but the whole night passed, and there was still no news.This made him panic, if even the slightest problem happened to the commander in his own territory, his official career would be over, even with Luo Ge always protecting him.

In one night, You Xuzhi's mouth was covered with blisters, and he became haggard a lot.You Xuzhi, who had been sitting withered in the lobby all night, was in a panic when a confidant ran in out of breath, "Master, I saw it, I saw it!"

You Xuzhi stood up abruptly, "I saw it, where is it?" Finally hearing the news, he breathed a long sigh of relief.This time, my heart is finally at ease.

"The commander-in-chief and his party of four are heading towards the place where Mr. Shang lives."

"Four people? Didn't Luo Ge always say that there are only three people? Why is there one more person?" You Xuzhi was stunned for a moment, but that was all. "Let's go, let's go there quickly."

"Master, do you want to notify the yamen servants to guard and protect?"

"Nonsense, the commander-in-chief came here in secret, and he just didn't want others to know. Didn't you tell others that something happened here when you went there with great fanfare? Just the two of us, quietly rushed to see the commander-in-chief."

"But master, are you still wearing an official uniform?" The confidant pointed to You Xuzhi's clothes.You Xuzhi patted his head, "Look at my brain, I'm so confused! Come on, go and get me my plain clothes."

Pushing open the door of the former residence, Li Qing walked into the general's mansion many years ago. A white-haired man was holding an ax in his hand, and was sitting on the steps chopping firewood. With a bang, the ax fell to the ground, stood up quickly, took a few steps forward, and knelt down in front of Li Qing, "Shang Fu has seen the commander."

Li Qing recognized that this was Shang Haibo's old housekeeper, and waved his hands, "Get up, where is Old Shang?"

Shang Fu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Master is teaching the boys at this time!"

"where is it?"

Shang Fu pointed to the side of the general's mansion, and Li Qing took a look and knew the place. It was also the place where Qingfeng taught style before.While the two were talking, Shang Haibo's family members had heard the news, and there were men and women kneeling on the ground in the yard.

"Get up, you don't have so much courtesy, I'll go see Lao Shang!" Li Qing nodded, turned around and left, leaving a large group of people in the Shang House kneeling in the yard, looking at each other in dismay. Misfortune is blessing.

Not long after Li Qing left, You Xuzhi also arrived panting. The people in the Shang family had to salute. Although officials of the county magistrate level were unworthy in their place before, they now stay with others for their crimes. Under your command, act according to other people's face, offend someone, just make a small stumbling block, it will make you very sad, besides, You County is sincere, and it is also very good to Shangfu, so everyone still does this gift willingly.

"Where's the commander?" You Xuzhi asked.

"I'm going to the school!" Shang Fu replied.

You Xuzhi nodded, it seems that the commander-in-chief came to Chong County to see Shang Haibo specially. Although You Xuzhi looked down on Shang Haibo in his heart, he did not lack in etiquette at all. , such a person, if you are imprisoned here today, maybe you will suddenly turn around and regain the high position that day. If you offend him when he is in trouble, he will definitely remember you, and then you will Miserable situation, on the contrary, if you give charcoal in a timely manner and help him at this time, he will remember you even more. Of course, the result must be good, so You Xuzhi has always been a charcoal giver.

Leaving Shang's family behind, You Xuzhi walked towards the school. He was very familiar with the terrain and buildings here.Sure enough, turning around a hillside, You Xuzhi saw the school that has been expanded a lot and is several times bigger than before. At this time, outside the school, it was the general Li Qing and the white-haired Shang who were walking slowly. Hypo.Shang Haibo's hair turned gray all night, which makes people feel so sad.

"Master You, please stop!" Li Wen stopped You Xuzhi with a smile, "The commander doesn't want anyone to disturb him at this time."

"I've met General Li Wen!" You Xuzhi saluted the other party respectfully. When he raised his head, his eyes fell on Chang Baoer who was behind Li Wen. She was such a delicate and exquisite woman. That's her.

Being stared at by You Xu, Chang Baoer felt a little uncomfortable, this is the county magistrate, Taigong Yu and Third Uncle Yu have to salute when they see each other, thinking of this, she quickly took a step to the side, and turned to You Tan It's a blessing, "Chang Baoer, the daughter of the people, has met the county magistrate!"

You Xuzhi was a little stupid all of a sudden, no matter what the status of the woman next to the commander, there was no reason to salute him like this, so he turned sideways to not accept the salute, and looked at Li Wen inquiringly.

Li Wen said with a smile: "Oh, Master You, this Bao'er girl is indeed a subject under your rule, and her home is in Nanjiao Village, but in the future, she will follow the commander in chief, and help him take care of the study, what about daily life of."

"Oh, this is the glory of Chong County!" You Xuzhi exclaimed exaggeratedly, bowed his hands to Chang Baoer repeatedly, and said, "Congratulations girl, you are so valued by the commander-in-chief!" I remember the name Bao'er firmly. It turns out that the commander-in-chief was in Nanjiao Village last night. As for what he was doing, it goes without saying. Didn't you see that the girls followed him?Quickly find out about the family of this young girl, who else is in the family, and who needs to be taken care of, and I have done it properly in advance.

"I don't understand anything." Chang Baoer said with a blushing face.

"It's Miss Chang's luck to be with the commander-in-chief. It won't take long for Miss Chang to understand everything with the commander-in-chief's advice. Don't worry, Miss Chang, and take care of the commander-in-chief. Don't worry at home. A certain one will help the girl settle everything, so that the eldest girl has no worries."

Li Wen secretly praised the county magistrate for his wink, and quickly said to Chang Baoer: "Miss Baoer, why don't you thank the magistrate You quickly, Master You said, you have him to take care of your family, what's going on in the future, even though Go find him."

Bao'er opened her eyes wide and said, "Is this okay?"

"Okay, of course, I can't do it anymore!" You Xuzhi said with a smile.

"Then Master You, my father is digging coal in the mine, can you help him not to dig coal anymore, but to do something else in the mine?"

It turned out that the girl's father was a coal mine digger in Chong County, You Xuzhi smiled and said, "Sure, what does the girl want your father to do?"

Chang Bao'er tilted her head and thought for a while, "Every time my father comes home, he always says that the overweight foreman is very good-looking, everyone has to please him, otherwise you will be weighed less, can you let my father do things? "

Li Wenha on the side laughed out loud, and You Xuzhi also couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that this aunt is really good enough, since you will be the handsome person from now on, even if you want your father to do the whole mine The boss at the top, it was also a drizzle, a trivial matter, and the result turned out to be an exaggerated foreman.

"Okay, no problem, no problem at all!" You Xuzhi agreed while coughing. Looking at the expressions of the two, Chang Baoer knew that she must have said something wrong, but what was wrong with her? I can't think of anything.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Qing and Shang Haibo who were in the distance. Li Qing didn't allow everyone to pass by, so he didn't know what Li Qing and Shang Haibo were talking about. After watching for a while, You Xuzhi suddenly exclaimed, "It's not good, Mr. Li, the commander-in-chief and Mr. Shang have quarreled!"

Li Wen took a look and shrugged, "What's so strange, the commander often quarreled with Shang Haibo before, and I even saw Shang Haibo slapping the table and arguing with the commander! I'm used to it."

"But what is Mr. Shang's current identity?" You Xuzhi murmured.

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change!" Li Wen said lightly.

You Xuzhi was a little confused. Seeing that the general came to Chong County to see Shang Haibo, he seemed to be preparing to use him again, but seeing Li Wen calling Shang Haibo by his name, there was no respect in his tone, and it didn't seem like it at all. People like Shang Haibo, if they don't use him or use him, their status will never be lowered.Since the commander-in-chief was not going to re-appoint Shang Haibo, why did he quarrel with him?Shang Haibo had such great courage, he actually dared to quarrel with the commander-in-chief by patting the table like before.

You Xuzhi suddenly felt that he didn't have enough melon seeds in his head, what did the commander mean?Under his jurisdiction, Shang Haibo is completely a hot potato!How should I treat him in the end is a reasonable attitude?
"General Li!" He looked at Li Wen tentatively.

Li Wen waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either. Anyway, I think, what you did in the past, you can do it now. The commander-in-chief is a very nostalgic person."

You Xuzhi said in his heart that this is a good point. If he changed his master, someone like Shang Haibo would definitely be exterminated. Not only did the commander not do this, but he also allowed him to eat, drink, and grow here. .Such a master is hard to find!You Xuzhi couldn't help feeling that he was very lucky.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he saw Li Qing flicking his sleeves furiously over there, turned around and walked towards this side, while Shang Haibo behind him stood on the ground with a somewhat lonely expression, looking at Li Qing back.

"You Xuzhi, magistrate of Chongxian County, met the commander!" You Xuzhi hurried forward to meet him, seeing Li Qing's displeased face, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that Li Qing would get angry.

Sure enough, Li Qing snorted, "Hey, magistrate You, the news is quite well-informed. You rushed here just after I arrived. Did Luo Daoming send you a letter?"

Cold sweat dripped down You Xuzhi's body, he felt that this was broken, even Luo Ge Lao was brought in, but he didn't dare to deny it.Head down, just sweating profusely.

"Marshal, shall we go back to Shanglinli, or?" Li Wen asked.

Li Qing snorted coldly: "Didn't you see the county magistrate Youda standing here, Mr. You, have you prepared a banquet and waiting for me?" His tone was very unfriendly.

Chang Baoer was grateful to You Xuzhi for agreeing to arrange for his father to be that airy foreman. Seeing You Xuzhi was sweating profusely, he was terrified and said in a low voice, "Marshal, County Magistrate You is a good man." As for the officials, I often hear from my parents, Taigong Yu, and others that the officials sent by the commander-in-chief to Chong County are all great, and they are all good parents who think about the people!"

When Li Qing heard it, he laughed, "Okay, okay, since Bao'er said so, let's sit with this good official, listen, and see what this good official of Chong County has done for Chong County."

You Xuzhi on the side was so moved that he almost shed tears, he glanced at Chang Bao'er gratefully, and thought that based on Miss Bao'er's words, no matter what, we have to make a big foreman for his father!
