Country color

Chapter 140
Li Chongjiu looked at the family's house, under the Wutou gate was guarded by a dozen burly servants, and the two pillars on the left and right wrote a letter of merit in front of the gate, flaunting the meritorious deeds on it.

But when he raised his head, there were high walls and bricks around the outside, and there were courtyards and pavilions inside. Looking at the houses near the left, Li Chongjiu knew it in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, just this huge house occupies a good piece of land in the county.

"Master Hou, please come in!"

Cheng Chong made a gesture of invitation, and Li Chongjiu took half a step behind the fall.

And five or six slaves in soap clothes held brooms in front of the two of them and swept along the road, sweeping up the dust.

Li Chongjiu smiled, and led a group of soldiers through the corridor to the main hall.

A banquet was set up in the main hall early, and eight or nine young maidservants dressed in green clothes served hot wine and dishes like flowers.

The generals behind saw these fair-skinned women and almost stared their eyes straight.

When they were in Huaihuang Town, all the generals saw were tanned, men's work, rough women with big hands and big feet. Where have they seen these fair-skinned, slim-waisted women in front of them.

I saw that even if they were serving dishes, their every move was indescribably elegant.

All the maids were embarrassed by this group of big men, their faces were red and their ears were dry, while the people who got married at the side were all amused.

Seeing his subordinates lose their composure, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel ashamed.

After the maid stepped down, the situation got better. Li Chongjiu took the main seat, and Cheng Chong accompanied him to the first seat, introducing his three sons together.

Li Chongjiu glanced at them. All three of them were only in their 30s or [-]s, but they all had good manners. They were obviously knowledgeable and reasonable, and they saluted Li Chongjiu respectfully.

For such a powerful local family, Li Chongjiu still wanted to solicit. When he saw the three saluting, he also stood up and returned the salute.

Everyone praised a few words, such as young and capable, with a promising future.

After drinking for three rounds, soon six dancers dressed in fancy dresses came up together.

Li Chongjiu took a closer look at the appearance of these six dancers. Although they were far from Li Zhiwan and Princess Changle, they were similar to Shi Deyun.

It's just that the girl from the Central Plains still lacks Shi Deyun's unrestrained enthusiasm.

Li Chongjiu's subordinates could imagine that the chopsticks and soup bowls in the hands of Eitao and others fell down one after another, and the soup spilled all over the floor.

But the dancing girl smiled at Li Chongjiu who was in the main seat.

After rebirth, Li Chongjiu's appearance is so-so, and it's unlikely that women will take a fancy to his appearance.

But as the saying goes, lying on the knees of a drunken beauty, awake and in charge of the world, as the general guard of a county, in the handshake of power, there is naturally no shortage of women, who bow down to each other.

Li Chongjiu's heart is like a mirror, knowing that Cheng Chong and his son are constantly observing their reactions, so he secretly smiles, but his expression remains unchanged, watching the singing and dancing while drinking.

In front of the beauties warming wine, Li Chongjiu's subordinates are even more in a variety of forms.

The Chengjia father and son quit voluntarily, and soon the dancer and maidservant came forward to persuade them to drink.

Li Chongjiu shouted loudly at this moment: "Stop!"

Li Chongjiu stopped drinking immediately, everyone on the field was startled, all his subordinates woke up, after looking around, they immediately stepped forward to apologize.

Seeing Li Chongjiu's flirting, those dancers and maidservants hurriedly retreated.

The Cheng family father and son originally walked to the door, but after hearing Li Chongjiu's behavior, they immediately apologized and said, "Master Hou, please calm down, did you not treat him well?"

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "The puppet Yan army is still outside the city, how can we soldiers be intoxicated in this gentle countryside. I accept the kindness of the Zanfu, and now I need to lead the army to patrol the city to prevent night raids by thieves."

After saying that, Li Chongjiu stared at him, all the generals under his command were sober, put on their armor together, and strode away.

The married father and son watched Li Chongjiu go away with uncertain expressions.

Cheng Chong's eldest son said: "Father, why do you say that the champion is like this?"

Cheng Chong shook his head and said: "Champion Hou is not a simple person. He doesn't move when he's drunk, and he doesn't seem to be a person who seeks pleasure. His move is also a blow to the horse. It seems that the way he dealt with Shangguan in the past is not good for him. It won't work."

The second son said: "But we got married and made a lot of enemies in the county."

Cheng Chong chopped off his hand, and with a smile on his face, he suddenly retracted, his face twitched, and he wrote down, "You want us to get married? Isn't the county magistrate the best example?"

After Li Chongjiu put on the armor and walked out of the gate of the family, he said immediately: "Huchen, you lead a team, take my warrant, take over the grain depot immediately, and check the grain depot."

"Yes."

"Etuo, you lead a team, hold my warrant, take over the arsenal immediately, and check the arsenal."

"Yes."

"The rest of the people followed me to the county office. There is something strange in Feihu County."

"Yes."
Li Chongjiu led a hundred riders and came to the county government office in the dark. Since the death of the county official, the county government office is now useless, with only two old servants cleaning it.
But right now, there are more than 20 common people in front of the county government office. When they saw Li Chongjiu and his cavalry, they all knelt down.

"What's the matter, blocking Tongshou is a serious crime." A cavalry shouted immediately.

Among those people, an old man lowered his head and said: "Reporting to Tongshou, Caomin is the sinner Gao Chu's father and son, and he is here to visit."

After finishing speaking, several women and children beside the old man were crying together, it can be seen that they are all Gao Chu's wives and children.

Li Chongjiu said: "I know, just come in together."

"Xie Tongshou be kind."

At that moment, Li Chongjiu ordered a group of people to seal the gate of the county government's money bank, and he led dozens of subordinates to the prison.

In the prison of the county government, there are still four or five jailers guarding it. Hearing that Tong Shou came, he hurriedly opened the door.

After Li Chongjiu entered, he saw that there were five or sixty prisoners in the prison, and he couldn't help but ask the jailer with a serious expression, "There is not enough manpower in the city, why aren't these prisoners assigned to guard the city together?"

The jailer quickly said: "The Zan Mansion has a strict order that no prisoner shall be released without his permission."

Li Chongjiu looked at his words and saw Gao Chu's father on the side, with a look of resentment on his face, and immediately said to the jailer: "Where is Gao Lu led?"
When the jailer hurriedly led the way, he saw a water prison.

A big man was imprisoned here with his hands and feet tied up in chains.

"Chu'er! Chu'er!"

When the big man saw it, the old man, his wife and children called out, and immediately rushed to the prison, put his arms around his father, wife, and several children, and called out their names.

"I hate it. I, Gao, fought against the bandits to the death. I defended this city for two months without losing it, but now I am a prisoner!"

"I want an old husband, wife and children to visit, the sky is really blind!"

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu was silent for a while, leaving them behind, but turned around and walked out of the prison, and went straight to the money bank in the county government.

There was a lot of clamor in front of the money bank, and more than a dozen Kuding who guarded the bank confronted Li Chongjiu's subordinates. When they heard that Li Chongjiu had arrived in person, the owner Bo and Hucao all came together.
