The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 601 The Second Fire
"..."

Cheng Hong held the scroll tightly, and looked at Cui Youbo with complicated eyes - this person is only three years older than himself, it's not easy to be so calculating at such a young age!
To be honest, although Cheng Hong has not met this uncle of the lady a few times, he has heard a lot about him in recent years.

Especially what happened at the gate of Huangshui City two days ago, the news reached Cheng's family in the first place (Cheng Chuyun Wangtian: Thanks to the good kite from Xiao's Harrier Workshop).

The Cheng family has been entrenched in the Northwest for more than ten years, and they have a very wide network of contacts. There are also many eyeliners in various counties, so they can find out a lot of secrets on the Shanzhou territory, not to mention the new governor and Guo Biejia's conflict was seen by passers-by.

Cheng Hong remembered clearly that when he got the news, his father was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "This Cui Suchun is not simple!"

It is also because of Cui Youbo's "not easy" that Cheng Hong brought his wife to pay Cui Youbo the first time.

Before coming, Cheng Hong asked his father worriedly: "Aye, if Uncle Cui's family asks us to borrow troops, how should I respond?"

They knew Guo Jizu's character well, this guy had suffered a loss at the hands of Cui Youbo, and he definitely wanted to take revenge, and his method of revenge was basically just one trick - force.

Cui Youbo is a smart man, since he chose to fight against Guo Jizu, he would know Guo Jizu clearly from top to bottom, and then he would also know Guo Jizu's support - the soldiers of Huangshui Zhechong Mansion.

And if Cui Youbo wanted to fight against or intimidate Dong Da of Zhechong Mansion, he had to find a general who was stronger than Dong Da.

For example, their Xizhou Cheng family.

Therefore, Cheng Hong was very worried. If he and his wife went to visit Cui Youbo, and Cui Youbo asked their family to borrow soldiers in front of his wife, would he borrow it or not? !

But Cheng Chuyun smiled slightly, and said: "Just go, Dalang, don't worry, since Cui Suchun is smart, he will not let himself be in a dilemma." To force the Cheng family to express their views in front of Cui Lan is definitely not the case. What a good idea.

Touching the mustache on his lips, he added, "Borrowing soldiers, he definitely wants to borrow them, but it's definitely not a direct request... Well, I'm a little curious now, I don't know what kind of plans Cui Dalang will have, Tsk tsk~~"

Cheng Chuyun has a close relationship with Jingzhong, so he knows a lot about Cui Youbo and his wife, and what he remembers most is the ridiculous lawsuit in which Cui Youbo was falsely accused by "Buqu".

From Cheng Chuyun's point of view, in that lawsuit, Cui Youbo performed really well, his actions were steady, accurate, and ruthless. Judging from his behavior, he really didn't look like an immature young man in his twenties, but like an official oiler in the officialdom (Cui Youbo looked at the sky: Thanks to the notes of Cui and Xiao's ancestors), from that moment on, Cheng Chuyun remembered this little Yulang of the Cui family.

It was precisely because of this 'concern' that before Uncle Cui arrived in Shanzhou, Cheng Chuyun sent someone to guard the gate of the city, and the woman who went to Cui's house to pay her respects was just one of them.

After hearing what his father said, Cheng Hong felt relieved, and took his wife to greet Uncle Cui's family happily.

But at this time, Cheng Hong admired his own Aye very much, tsk tsk, Aye is really amazing, Cui Youbo really borrowed troops, and he did not 'beg', but 'exchange'.

Holding the light scroll, Cheng Hong seemed to be holding a heavy baby.He had been guarding the border with his father in Xizhou since he was a child, almost growing up in a military camp, and he knew his father's errands very well.

He believed that as long as he had this paper scroll, not only would his father be able to complete the task satisfactorily, but his family would also benefit greatly.

Good thing, this is really a good thing, if there is not a sliver of reason in his mind reminding him that this thing is to be exchanged for Fubing, he really wants to nod immediately, put it in his arms, and run all the way home Present this to Papa.

Reluctant to give up, Cheng Hong still gritted his teeth and rolled up the scroll again, slowly put it on the table, and said in a low voice: "Uncle is a straightforward person, and I don't dare to talk too much. It's just a matter of great importance. , and my father is the Deputy Chief Protector, but I am only a seventh-rank official, so I don't even have the right to speak about such a big matter."

While talking, Cheng Hong smiled wryly, "How about this, the boy will report this matter to his father today, and he will make the final decision. Uncle, do you think this is good?"

Cui Youbo hooked the corners of his lips, showed a slight smile, and said, "Well, excellent! You are very good, and it is really her blessing that Alan is able to marry you."

Cui Youbo didn't expect Cheng Hong to decide on such a big matter, this kid just needs to pass the news to Cheng Chuyun.Cui Youbo firmly believes that with Cheng Chuyun's intelligence, he will know how to choose.

Hearing this, Cheng Hong patted his head in embarrassment, and smiled naively, "Uncle Uncle praised it a lot, it's my luck to marry Ah Lan!"

Their Cheng family can barely be regarded as a lord's family, but with such an identity, it is definitely a great luck for him to marry the daughter of the Cui family.

If Cui Shouyi hadn't been an official in the Northwest, his father had a good chat with Cui Hai, and then had a relationship with the Cui family, he would not have been able to marry a noble and well-educated daughter like Cui Lan.

After Cui Lan passed the door, she didn't mind the bitter cold in the northwest, and stayed with him in the Duhu Mansion for several years, far away from the bustling capital, and couldn't see her parents all year round, but she didn't complain.

He is filial to his parents-in-law, friendly to his younger siblings, and even more respectful and loving to him. Not only does he take good care of him, but he also bears children for him, presides over the middle-class family affairs, and never worries about him at all.

Even his father was full of praise for Cui Lan, saying, "No wonder everyone in the world wants to marry a family daughter. You are lucky to have such a virtuous and capable woman!"

Cheng Hong also likes and respects Cui Lan, loves the house and Wu, and he is very respectful when facing the wife's family.

Cui Youbo was very satisfied with Cheng Hong's performance, and the things that should be discussed were finished, he also relaxed, and talked with Cheng Hong about the customs and customs of the Northwest very kindly.

Because both parties had good intentions, the conversation went smoothly, and Cui Youbo enthusiastically persuaded Cheng's young couple to stay at home for one night, and sent them out after the morning meal the next day.

After Cheng Hong and his wife left, Uncle Cui was about to start sorting out the government affairs at hand. He ordered people to pass on the word. From tomorrow onwards, he will officially go to work. The servants of the state capital and the fourth divisions except Liang Ke and Yu Lang will join the army All come to work.

However, in the early morning of the next day, at the third quarter of the first day of the lunar new year, Cui Youbo came to the back hall of the state government yamen on time, and when he was preparing for the first official appointment after taking office, he found that the entire room was empty.

Looking at the empty room, Cui Youbo frowned, and said in his heart: Yes, Guo Jizu's second move came.

At this time, an old official who was not young came in tremblingly with a stack of posts in his hand.

Looking up, he saw Cui Youbo sitting on the head seat with a face as heavy as water, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and stammered, "Sub, this subordinate has reported to the governor, just now, just now, the servants of Chen Sibing and Wang Sihu came here. , came back to report, said, said that the two Sigongs tasted tea and discussed poetry last night, and they didn't want to catch the cold, so today, today, they might not be able to come to the Yamen for business..."

After saying this, the old official quietly raised his head, glanced at the still expressionless Xin Inspector, and thought to himself, er, Xin Inspector is confused?Still didn't understand what he said?

Thinking of this, the old official adjusted his tone, and continued to report fluently: "In addition, Zhao and Qian, who joined the army, also sent subordinates, saying that the two gentlemen were on the way to the state capital, and the horses they were riding on were startled. , and threw the two lords down—"

Before the old official finished speaking, Cui Youbo said calmly: "Oh, that means Zhao and Qian can't come to work?"

The tone is very light and flat, and the speaker's emotions can almost be heard.

But the old official only felt a chill behind his back, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead, he quickly kowtowed again, and said: "So that the governor will know, the person who came said that the injuries of the two of them are very serious, it seems that they have broken the bones. I'm afraid I won't be able to move for three to five months."

After being injured for a hundred days, Uncle Cui nodded secretly in his heart, um, Zhao and Qian are also clever, it's much smarter to pretend to have a broken leg than to pretend to be sick.After all, a cold or something is a minor illness after all, no matter how much it is delayed, it will not last for a month.

Then, the old official talked about the "emergencies" of several small yamen chiefs, with various reasons, such as the old father's illness, the only son's illness, headaches, etc... There is only one conclusion, the officials of the entire state government, Except for Cui Youbo, the new governor, no one can work normally.

Very well, Guo Jizu got him another empty office.

Cui Youbo sneered secretly, his face was still calm, he nodded slightly, and said: "Well, I see, then, you go tell those servants who are asking for leave on behalf of the master, just say what the governor said, so that they can rest assured to recuperate and take care of it at home." Don't worry about the affairs of the Yamen."

The old official's eyes widened in astonishment, and he thought to himself that he had been bullied to such an extent that the new governor was not angry at all?

Cui Youbo was not in the mood to reason with him about this, he just waved his hand and sent the old official out.

Not long after, Cui Mingbo rushed over, raised his eyes to see the empty main room, and frowned, but then thought of Cui Youbo's words before, he stretched his eyebrows again, moved closer to Cui Youbo, and whispered: "I just came from Liang's house. When I came back, everything was as Su Chun had expected. Liang Ke only suffered some skin injuries, but nothing serious. He just hurt his cheek, which was a hindrance to his eyesight, so he couldn't go out. I followed Su Chun's intentions and talked with Liang Ke for a while. ..."

Having said that, he lowered his voice again, "Liang Ke said that there is a barren mountain on the west side of Huangshui Valley, where there are few people, but a few days ago, someone heard the sound of horseshoes nearby."

As soon as Cui Youbo's eyes lit up, he knew that Liang Ke was a smart man. After knowing that he had figured out what he was thinking, he immediately made a new choice and sent him a not small "voting certificate".

Very good, now we know the hiding place of the 'Bandit', and he will be able to light his second fire as soon as Cheng's soldiers arrive...
