Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"Impossible." King Qing was convinced, dipped his pen in the ink, carefully examined the official document for a while, and approved a line in a smooth and vigorous handwriting.

With a "chih la", Guo Da stretched out his hand, immersed himself in the huge survey map, made notes with dots and strokes, and marked the progress of the supervision and construction of the northern suburb camp in detail, and said with a smile: "You are calm. Brother Rong The son was born handsome, young and promising and has not yet married. He didn't even have a maid around him. He attracted a lot of attention when he was in the capital, let alone Xizhou? To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. Splitting into eight petals is not enough hahaha~"

King Qing paused for his instructions on official documents, raised his eyes, and asked in a flat tone, "Have you finished your errands today?"

Gee!

Guo Da quickly withdrew his joking smile, and replied solemnly: "Not yet, hey, this picture is densely packed, it really makes people dizzy."

"Be patient, at least you have studied in the Imperial Academy." King Qing urged with a straight face.

"Hey hey, obey!" Guo Dashun nodded obediently.But he couldn't hold back his chattering nature. After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "By the way, cousin, what do you think about Zhuo Kai's request for a foreign transfer?"

"Has he recovered from his injury?" King Qing asked.

"I heard from Hong Lei and his subordinates that he's more than half healed. It's estimated that he will be fully recovered after the Lantern Festival."

"Since you haven't recovered yet, let's recuperate first. There's no rush." ​​King Qing said in a gentle tone.

Guo Da knew his cousin's personality well, so he immediately asked: "So, do you agree?"

"Tell him to bring it up in person after he recovers from his injury, and then I will make a decision." King Qing said carefully.

"That's right." Guo Da nodded, and muttered, "Oh, it's not a big deal for Zhuo Kai to stay in the capital. Although we know the inside story, outsiders don't know. It's just that he is entangled with His Royal Highness, and his reputation is too bad. It’s no wonder he wanted to avoid it, Brother Rong also—” Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, closed his mouth, and carefully watched his cousin:

King Qing looked as usual, still writing at his desk.

Guo Da breathed a sigh of relief, stopped his nonsense, and concentrated on his work. After half an hour, he stopped writing with a "snap", splashed a few drops of ink, flicked his wrists vigorously, and said happily: "I have marked everything clearly. Yes! Cousin, please take a look."

"Leave it alone, wait a moment." King Qing said without raising his head.

"Okay." Guo Da couldn't wait to leave the desk, held his breath, obviously had something to say in his heart, but he stopped talking, scratched his head, turned around and drank tea, there was a lot of rattling inside and outside, until King Qing asked:

"Say it straight, man, what are you hesitating to do? It's outrageous."

Guo Da rushed back to the room with a few strides, leaned over to probe, summoned up his courage, and said with a smile: "It's really not a big deal, just, my ancestor asked me to ask, are you free these days? There are roe deer and The deer has been carefully raised in captivity, Your Highness will appreciate your face and have a meal?"

"Oh?" King Qing put down his pen, finished approving a stack of official documents, and picked up the tureen to drink tea.

Guo Dayi added seriously: "Don't worry! I've checked carefully, and there is absolutely nothing else. It's just a home-cooked dinner and a small chat. I haven't seen you for a long time. The ancestors miss your body very much."

——Since the medicated oil accident, Zhao Zeyong did not visit Beihou Mansion once, and left his grandfather's house on purpose.

King Qing took his time and slowly declined: "I've been busy recently, the spring competition between the Northern Camp and the Yuanshui Daying Army is coming up, I really don't have time to spare, go back and tell the old man that the king is healthy, and come to her when you are free. "

Oops, my cousin is still angry... But, who made the fault at our house...

Guo Da sighed secretly, figured it out quickly, and said heartily: "Okay! I'll tell my ancestors when I get back. I told her at that time that we are really busy recently. Yuanshui suffered a complete defeat in the winter competition last year, but he had some courage. They actually have another appointment! It doesn’t matter, let’s just compare, our recruits just need to be tempered.”

The family dinner invitation was forgotten, and the cousins ​​turned to business.

King Qing warned in a deep voice: "Arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. As a general, it is inappropriate for you to be so proud. Take it easy. The soldiers of the Yuanshui camp are not bad, but unfortunately they did not practice properly on weekdays. Lack of understanding."

"Cough! In fact, they are just lazy. How are they like us? Train with the attitude of preparing for war in the Northwest. Practice during the summer and summer, and practice during the winter. No matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, the best soldiers are the best. How can they be elite without tempering?" Guo Da He talked eloquently, and finally said: "These are all taught by you. I think it makes sense. How important is it to defend the capital? You must not slack off!"

King Qing smiled and agreed very much, so he did not teach his cousin to "guard against arrogance and impetuosity". Chawu enters the palace to pay his respects and returns home to visit his younger brother. Other than that, he rests in Beiying and concentrates on official duties.

"Cousin, and, yesterday I met His Highness the Second Highness in the household department. He was arguing with Ping Nanhou in a secluded place. It looked quite intense, but unfortunately he was too far away to hear clearly."

King Qing smiled lightly and said, "Really?"

"The Queen's place..." Guo Da whispered cryptically, and clicked.

King Qing put his smile away, and said coldly: "Wait and see what happens, she has been hiding for too long."

"Yes." Guo Da was in awe and excitement, full of anticipation.

At this moment in Xizhou city

The strong smell of cosmetic powder hit his face, the fragrance made his chest tight, and made Rong Youtang's nose itchy, he subconsciously took two steps back, frowning and refused: "No."

"Young master, you are welcome, come on."

"It's a cold day, go in and have a drink to warm up your body."

"come."

"Acquaintance is fate, and only by fate can we meet thousands of miles away. It's strange that Mr. Dao looks so familiar."

In the blink of an eye, the two prostitutes have familiarly thrown out a series of invitations, speaking softly, swaying their waists and moving in lotus steps, smiling like flowers, enchanting and graceful.It has been a long time since we greeted and sent off in the romantic place, and they all have sharp eyes. They immediately fell in love with Rong Youtang: rich and young, gentle and handsome, they are indeed superior benefactors. Happy.

"No need."

"It's really not necessary, girl, please respect yourself." Rong Youtang dodged again and again, very embarrassed, he has always been lacking in interest in delicate pink fans.

The guards wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and hurriedly used their bodies to separate the overly enthusiastic prostitute.Wei Jie suppressed a smile, and said seriously: "Our young master has something to do, so hurry up and give way."

But the servants were all as if they were facing an enemy——before going out, Rong Kaiji greeted them with good wine and food, and explained everything for a long time. Gambling all the way!Therefore, Zhang Dong was obliged to step forward, and blocked Rong Youtang like an old hen, and said sternly:

"Don't talk about it, my young master will never go in!"

Rong Youtang patted the boy on the shoulder: "What are you shouting for? Let's go." After speaking, he frowned with a headache, his stomach was hungry, and he really didn't have the energy to continue patrolling the market, so he hurriedly found a place to have dinner.

Watching helplessly as a group of brawny men surrounded Young Master Pian Pian and left, the two prostitutes stamped their feet at the same time, coquettishly:

"Oh, what a pity!"

"That young man was so handsome, the one who hugged him must have come from a wealthy family."

On top of them, at the railing on the second floor of the brothel, there are three or five other beautiful and charming companions, who sneered and said:

"Hehehe, how could such a young master be dragged into the building by the younger sisters?"

"He's so strict at home, don't you think his guards are guarding against thieves?"

"If the young master is alone, with a soft heart and a soft face, he may obey after a few more tugs. It's a pity that he has so many servants with him."

……

"Bah! Hindsight!"

"We can't pull it, but you can pull it? Since you are capable, why didn't you say anything just now?" The two prostitutes downstairs retorted in embarrassment, with one hand on their hips, their necks slightly tilted, and their curses were crisp and delicate. .

At the time of Haishi, Rong Youtang and his party had enough to eat and drink, they took a rest, recovered some energy, and rode to the yamen on horseback.

Needless to say, on the night of the first day of the new year, the new magistrate almost fell from the sky, completely frightening the people guarding the yamen!

"Rongda, Your Excellency?" Cui Wenshi was stunned and at a loss, he was the head in charge of guarding the yamen, and his subordinates were from the ninth rank.

Rong Youtang nodded, and ordered: "Take out the fuze from the Ministry of Officials, please ask Mr. Cui to log in."

The fuze of the Ministry of Officials has been kept by Wei Jie personally. He listened to the order to take it out and hand it to the official.

Cui Wenshi took it, opened his eyes wide, and looked at it word by word: the red seal of the official department, followed by the governor's seal...

After a long while, Cui Wenshi knelt down and said respectfully: "Cui Wenshi, a lowly official, kowtow to the magistrate!" Immediately, a group of officials on duty and the warden who heard the news rushed to pay their respects, and they were all secretly delighted:

Very good!

When the new magistrate first took office, I was one of the first to show my face!

"Everyone, please stand up." Rong Youtang bent down to support Cui Wenshi, and raised his hands to help the rest of his subordinates.

"Thank you sir."

Cui Wenshi bowed courteously: "My lord, please, the backyard of the yamen was cleaned up early in the morning, waiting for your stay."

"We are on duty at the beginning of the new year, and we can't be reunited with our families. Thank you for your hard work." Rong Youtang praised with a smile.

"Where is it, this is the duty of a humble job, as it should be." Cui Wenshi said humbly, almost happy in his heart, and followed the new peak.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just walking around at will." Rong Youtang said gently, and he led the crowd to inspect the front hall where official business is handled:

Xizhou is poor, but the yamen is very grand, tall and spacious, with carved beams and painted buildings, and the tables and chairs are all likely to be new.

Recalling the hungry and cold victims outside the city, Rong Youtang's face sank like water, and he asked, "Who are there in such a big yamen? Please tell Master Cui."

"Yes!" Cui Wenshi cheered up, and said: "Before this, under the order of Governor Qi, the daily official duties were mainly carried out by Zhizhou Wan Binwan, Tongzhi Zhang Baozhang, and the general judge Qiu Xiaohuai. businessman."

Rong Youtang stopped and turned his head, and asked intently: "Aren't they here? Did Xiu Mu go home?"

"Oh no!" Cui Wenshi hurriedly shook his head and explained: "The three adults went out early this morning and went to the Governor's Yamen to report the disaster to Lord Qi."

"The three of you went together? Then, you are responsible for disaster relief?" Rong Youtang asked seriously.

"Uh……"

Cui Wenshi lowered his head, rolled his eyes again and again, looked embarrassed, and said vaguely: "The detailed rules have long been arranged, and the humble position only needs to follow orders."

Rong Youtang's expression was stern, and he was silent for a moment, and ordered: "Bring the records of the grain depot and the disaster files to have a look." After speaking, he walked towards the backyard.

"Yes, yes!" Cui Wenshi agreed repeatedly, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his heart fell to the ground.

a quarter of an hour later

With a "creak", Rong Youtang pushed open the bedroom door, extremely exhausted, and scanned the clean but empty room.

The servants were nimble and orderly placed their luggage, laid out their mattresses, and so on. Someone had already boiled hot water and smoked the cages and brought them here.

The entire backyard was brightly lit, and the government servants walked in a hurry. Xizhou ushered in another new magistrate.

Turning on the lamp to look through the files, busy in the middle of the night, I only took a random sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Rong Youtang only brought Wei Jie and a few other guards to rest for the night, and the rest of the guards made up their own sleep.

The porridge shed was set up on an earthen platform next to the ruins outside the city gate, and the food was transported out by mule carts prepared in the city, in large wooden barrels, three barrels lined up in a row.Rong Youtang was wearing the magistrate's official robe, with a handsome appearance, sitting on the high platform, quietly watching the disaster victims with their families pouring out of the ruins one after another. In an instant, a large crowd of people stood in the audience.

"Everyone! Be quiet!" Wei Jie's voice was like a bell, majestic and majestic:

"This is the new magistrate Mr. Rong. He just took office today, and he is here to check on the disaster situation."

The disaster victims who saw Rong Youtang last night were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it, and enthusiastic discussions erupted in an instant!

Rong Youtang stood up, tall and tall, elegant and dignified, but his tone was sonorous and forceful, his attitude was firm, and he said straight to the point: "The snowstorm broke out, and you have suffered. I don't know much about this official when I first took office, but the weather is cold and cold. Yes, you should not stay here any longer—” before the words finished, the disaster victims below had exploded, and there was a commotion, and the crowd was furious, shouting one after another:

"Are you going to drive us away again?"

"The house in my hometown collapsed, and I will starve to death when I go back!"

"My lord, please allow us to avoid it for a while."

"At least wait until the weather is warmer, it's too cold, we can't go back at all."

……

Rong Youtang took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed down, the servants ran hard and shouted:

"quiet!"

"No noise!"

"My lord hasn't finished talking yet, why are you arguing?"

After a while, the terrified and excited victims barely quieted down.

Rong Youtang calmed down and ordered loudly: "Later, each person will have a spoonful of porridge and a steamed bun, and pack up immediately after eating. Each village is responsible for counting the population of the village. Follow the commander's arrangement and go to Ciyuan Temple, Danxu Temple and Shanxi Temple respectively. Ji'an is temporarily sheltering from the wind and snow, the time limit is set by the official, and the specific rules will be taught when they arrive at the locality. If anyone dares to refuse to obey orders or provoke troubles, don't blame the official for severe punishment!"

In addition to porridge, there are steamed buns?

Going to stay temporarily in the Taoist nunnery of the temple?

The audience was silent, and the victims held their breath and looked at each other.

Rong Youtang acted swiftly and swiftly, and simply waved his hand: "Let go!"

"Yes."

The officials listened to the order and lifted the lid of the bucket, and the fragrance of rice porridge and steamed buns wafted down the wind, causing everyone in the audience to scramble to push.

Rong Youtang frowned in disapproval, and turned his head to take a look. Wei Jie understood, and simply drew out his knife with a "shua" and shouted:

"Everyone has a share and must claim it one by one. Crowding and scrambling is strictly prohibited. Those who have received it all stand on the west side of the hemp rope and are not allowed to move!"

The decision of the new magistrate and his powerful subordinates quickly shocked the situation: the victims received the food in an orderly manner, and moved to the west side of the hemp rope under the supervision of the yamen servants after receiving the food. Barrel sighed.

at the same time

About eight miles away from the ruins, two blue and one green official sedan chairs were rushing into the city.

"quick!"

"Hurry up!"

"Trash, you guys are so fast! Oh, I'm in a hurry to meet the new magistrate." Zhizhou Wan Bin urged sharply, his muscles ached from the jolt.He was so anxious that he frequently opened the car curtain to look around, squinted his eyes, and saw that there were crowds of people in the ruins in front of him. He was furious and cursed through the sedan chair: "Zhang Bao! What's the matter with you? Didn't the officer order the victims to be sent back to Yi County? ? Why are they still outside the city?"

Tongzhi Zhang Bao hastily opened the sedan chair curtain, and explained with a sad face: "My lord, calm down, I sent someone to drive them away the day before yesterday, but you also know that Diao and the victims are very difficult to deal with, unreasonable, and you can't drive them away with sticks and swords. It's a real headache."

With a dark face, Wan Bin straightened his official hat in embarrassment, and yelled coldly: "If the new prefect sees it, he will definitely intervene. At that time, you will bear the responsibility yourself, so don't implicate this official."

Hmph, you have a good idea!

Zhang Bao was full of complaints, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the humble officials will drive them away later."

Wan Bin was irritable and anxious, he just wanted to whitewash the peace, gritted his teeth, and said viciously:

"Lawless! If an individual victim refuses to leave, let him lie down and leave!"
