Great Qin State Teacher
Chapter 59
Xu Fu accurately received the horrified gazes from everyone.
There will definitely be panic, and Xu Fu is not surprised.His face-to-face skills are getting more and more proficient, and he basically can't make mistakes. He often gives people a feeling of almost magical calculations. Naturally, some people will be a little afraid of his ability.
But these are not important...
Xu Fu got off the carriage directly, and asked the woman: "But the girl who stopped me in the inn yesterday? I have already told her to stay away from the water, so why did she drown in the lake?" Xu Fu couldn't help but wrinkle eyebrow.
That is a life!The woman was still talking to him in front of him yesterday, and her pretty and moving face was still in his mind.
Although he has always been indifferent to others, but the person who was talking to you one day died the next day, so it is not impossible to be indifferent.
He also wanted to know why he had already reminded the woman, but instead of avoiding the disaster, she directly lost her life.
The strange woman couldn't stop crying when she heard the words, "Wei Niang's father and brother want to marry her to Linzhen, where is that town a good place? That family is not a good family either! Wei Niang and her father and brother at home resisted and went back last night. There was also a big fight, and her brother said that she would also be tied up to Linzhen, and then I don’t know what they said..." The woman bit her lip, and then continued: "... who knows today? When I went to look for her, I saw that her house was very deserted. After I went in and asked, I found out that Wei Niang was gone... It was said that she slipped and fell into the lake, but at night, Wei Niang was fine, how could she run outside and stumbled and fell? Entering the lake... I thought about what my husband said yesterday, and I felt very uneasy, so I hurried to keep him..."
After hearing this, the four of Bai Zhou frowned in unison.
The people on Xiong Yi's side looked indifferent, unmoved at all, and some were even a little irritable, dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Fu left as soon as he said it, without waiting for them at all, but now they have to stay and wait for Xu Fu.
What a hassle!
"Mr. Xu..." Bai Zhou couldn't help but speak.He really wanted Xu Fu to ignore these things and wasted his time, but at the moment he couldn't speak, so he only called out and stopped.
In fact, he no longer needs to make a choice.
Xu Fu raised his eyebrows and looked towards the narrow street.At the first light of day, there were several figures moving at the other end.When they approached quickly, everyone saw that it was a few men holding farm tools.The people on Xiong Yi's side couldn't help but sneered, looking at them with contempt and contempt.
But Bai Zhou and the others frowned even deeper.
When the strange woman saw these men, her face immediately changed, and she angrily said: "What are you doing here? How did Wei Niang die, are you going to explain clearly?"
The leading man said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about here?" After speaking, the man glanced at Xu Fu with vigilance in his eyes.
The smaller the place, the easier it is to meet such people. They are absolutely wary of outsiders.Not to mention the men and women who were fascinated by him in the inn yesterday, once Xu Fu touches the bottom line of this small town, he may be besieged by the entire small town.
It doesn't make sense to talk to these people about the Qin law. They often don't follow the Qin law and don't respect the government. They follow the family law or the rules established by the town.
The reason why Xu Fu knew all this was because when he was traveling in his previous life, he accidentally went to a small village in the mountains and almost offended the whole village. The kung fu bluffed them, and it was hard to say whether he had the life to leave there.
Xiong Yi's people really can't underestimate them.
The four of Bai Zhou looked at each other, and secretly squeezed the dagger at their waists.
Xu Fu's eyes wandered over those people, and he said: "It's getting late, we should leave."
The four of Bai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to escort Xu Fu and turn around to get on the carriage.
The strange woman showed an unbelievable expression, and shouted with trembling lips: "Sir...don't you care, sir..."
Sang Zhong couldn't help but said: "Girl, this matter has nothing to do with our husband, and yesterday's words were just a hand to help. We still have things to do, and we can't handle such housework."
The strange woman stared blankly at Sang Zhong, tears welling up again.
The leading man smiled, and whispered something in an unintelligible dialect, but seeing the unconcealed pride on his face, he knew it was not a good word.
Xu Fu turned around and got on the carriage, seeing that the carriage was about to move, the strange woman couldn't help but threw herself on the side of the carriage, and said in a desperate voice, "Why won't you stretch out your hand...Mister...Wei Niang died unjustly..."
The strange woman cried miserably.
Seeing this, Xiong Yi smiled and said, "So he is also a hypocrite." This sentence was of course aimed at Xu Fu.
Xu Fu also heard it, but his face did not change, but his eyes swept across the leader man again, seemingly casually, his voice was still cold, giving people a sense of alienation, "Don't panic, everyone in this world Everything pays attention to the cycle of karma and retribution. That girl died accidentally, and someone will pay the price."
Xu Fu's voice soothed the emotion of the strange woman.
The woman stared blankly at Xu Fu standing on the carriage, watched Xu Fu lift the curtain to enter, watched his white figure disappear behind the curtain, watched the carriage turn again...
It took the woman a long time to wake up from the cold voice, "...the cycle of karma? The cycle of retribution?" the woman murmured.
The leading man sneered, grabbed the agricultural tools in his hand, turned around and left with the people.
Xiong Yi lowered the curtain and signaled the driver to drive away.
It was just that his carriage had just turned around when he suddenly heard a scream, followed by a burst of noise.
"Stop the carriage." Xiong Yi couldn't help but said, and at the same time lifted the curtain of the carriage, looking back.
I saw that the leader man was lying on the ground at this moment, his head was bleeding profusely, and the people around him started yelling, and the scene panicked and out of control.The woman stood not far away, also stunned, unable to speak a word for a long time.
Xiong Yi opened his mouth unconsciously.
The doorman behind him was also startled, and said: "This Xu Fu... why does he speak so strangely?"
A well-behaved person turned around and kowtowed his head, looking like he was dead. Isn't it just like what Xu Fu said on the carriage, the cycle of karma and the cycle of retribution, that person will always pay the price?
Thinking about it, the doorman suddenly felt goose bumps all over his body, and his heart couldn't help trembling.
It took Xiong Yi a while to close his mouth, his expression was slightly stunned, and he said to the coachman: "Go..."
The coachman continued to drive the carriage forward, far away from the noisy voices behind him...
And in this carriage, Xu Fu also heard the noise, but he didn't raise the curtain to turn around.He thought it was those people who started fighting, but he didn't want to get involved in such troubles at all. It's a pity that the woman died, but it's only a pity. reputation.
Sang Zhong's voice suddenly sounded from outside the carriage. It seemed that he lost his voice because of being too frightened, "What Mr. Xu said has come true! Someone fell to the ground with a bloody head..."
"...so fast..." This was Bai Zhou's horrified voice.
Xu Fu who was sitting in the carriage was startled.
Someone fell to the ground with a bloody head?He really didn't have such advanced skills, and he could predict this step. If it is true that whoever dies, he will die, then he will either be praised by everyone and dare not offend, or he will be killed directly.
The reason why he can talk about the cycle of cause and effect is just a nonsense borrowed from Buddhism.
Of course, he also believes that a wicked person who commits his own crimes must not live. If God does not accept him now, he will eventually lose his life because of his evil deeds.What he said was originally intended to comfort the strange woman, but now he hit it by mistake and it became a mysterious proverb that must be hit in the eyes of everyone.
Xu Fu himself was in a trance for a moment.
Could it be that his kung fu has increased in the dark?
Bai Zhou was also in a daze. He unconsciously drove the carriage a little faster. When Xiong Yi's driver came to his senses and tried his best to catch up, he unfortunately found... !
The rest of Xiong Yi's subordinates also fell into a trance.
Unconsciously, fear rose towards Xu Fu in his heart.
·
Not long after leaving this small town, they gradually entered the land of Sichuan.
The road had indeed become a lot rougher. Xu Fu had just sat in the carriage for a while before he was jolted awake by the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted suddenly, revealing Bai Zhou's cold face, "Mr. Xu, I'm about to abandon the carriage."
"Abandoning the carriage?" Xu Fu looked over Bai Zhou's shoulder and looked ahead. It was a narrow path winding towards the ridge.Undoubtedly, the carriage is impassable.Even if the horse squeezed past, it would be difficult to run on the mountain.
This is the real mountain climbing!
It all depends on the legs!
Having already come here, it would be useless for Xu Fu not to be happy, he got out of the carriage, and asked involuntarily, "What about the carriage and horse?"
"There is a station nearby, stay here, someone will come and take it away."
Xu Fu nodded, watching Bai Zhou and the others take all the luggage off the horse, and Xu Fu also took his own luggage.
Fortunately, the shoes on his feet were specially ordered by Ying Zheng to be made. It is much more comfortable to walk on, and it is many times better than the shoes he wore when he was first reborn here.Walking on the mountain road should not hurt your feet.
Xu Fu followed Bai Zhou and the others to go up the mountain one step at a time. After Xiong Yi and his party finally arrived, Xiong Yi looked at the narrow path in front of him and the tall and rugged peak not far away, his expression changed instantly.
The road was rough, and the bumps of the carriage made his wounds all over his body ache, that was all, who would have thought that there would be such a thunderbolt waiting for him in the future...
For the first time, Xiong Yi wondered whether his own father would sell his son by mistake.
·
Xu Fu really turned over several small hillsides, and when he saw the crowds, there was already a flat area in front of him.
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the Land of Abundance in his memory.
Bai Zhou went to find a farmer's house, asking for a place to rest, so he could stop and wait for Xiong Yi.
Although Xiong Yi was annoying, he was Lord Changping's son after all, and he was more talkative in Shu County than a little Taibu Cheng.The reason why Qin Shihuang would say that someone was walking with him, and if he was in danger, he would let that person stand in front of him was probably the same intention.Taking advantage of Xiong Yi's value, let's make good use of it first.
Xu Fu felt that he had glimpsed Qin Shihuang's dark side.
Of course he didn't know that if he could come in person, Ying Zheng would have let Xiong Yi die in a cool way. Fortunately, Xiong Yi had a cannon fodder face. Ying Zheng thought from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for Xu Fu to fall in love with such a pig head , and then he was relieved, allowing Xiong Yi to go to Shu to be used by Xu Fuli.
Xu Fu rested at the farmer's house overnight. On the morning of the second day, he saw Xiong Yi who was in a state of embarrassment. Xiong Yi's subordinates were all exhausted, with chapped lips and dull eyes, as if they were about to leave in the next moment. It's like seeing Lord Hades.
Gan Tang smiled, and said with a broken mouth: "These girls usually don't go out of the door like Jiao girls, but now they don't come to Sichuan, they will die or live..."
Xu Fu secretly thought.
Without these four attendants, he might be the same as Xiong Yi.When he returned to Xianyang City, he really had to thank Qin Shihuang. Without Qin Shihuang's thoughtful preparation, how could he look comfortable and leisurely now, and appreciate Xiong Yi's fatigue with ease.
Supported by others, Xiong Yi stopped in front of Xu Fu panting.
He was dressed in white clothes so dirty, Xu Fu looked at him from head to toe, Mr. Xiong Yi, who was originally noble and arrogant, felt embarrassed in front of Xu Fu at this moment, Xiong Yi shrank his hands and feet unconsciously, and it took a long time to calm down and pant breath, "... When did Xu Taibu...arrive?"
"Yesterday, I had rested all night, and I am waiting here for Xiong Dian."
Xiong Yi suppressed the injustice in his chest and asked, "How far is it from Shu?"
"I've already entered the land of Shu, but I still have to walk a long way to see the sheriff." The person who answered the words was Bai Zhou.
Xiong Yi was not interested in talking to Bai Zhou, but seeing that Xu Fu had no intention of speaking, he could only shut up.
Thinking of the Sheriff of Shu County, and looking at the farmer in front of him, Xiong Yi gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Why don't we go directly to Shu County to see the Sheriff, then we can have a good rest." The farmer looked at him Dilapidated, how can you rest?A faint look of disgust flashed quickly in Xiong Yi's eyes.
Xu Fu didn't pay attention to his expression, but was a little surprised.
Xiong Yi was panting like a dog, yet he insisted on moving on?This is not like Xiong Yi's style.
Xu Fu looked him up and down again.
Xiong Yi shrank his hands and feet unconsciously, always feeling that he had exposed his clumsiness in front of Xu Fu, which was really embarrassing.
"Xiong Dian, have you not had a good rest lately, making it difficult to fall asleep every night?"
Do you have difficulty dreaming every night?
What a familiar word.
Just heard it two days ago.
Xiong Yi shivered unconsciously, moved his heels back, his voice was dry and hoarse, and he said reluctantly: "Oh...n-nothing..." After finishing speaking, Xiong Yi was even more reluctant to spend the night here I was afraid that after falling asleep, his coachman ran to Xu Fu the next day and said, Xu Taibu, our young master is dead.
Xiong Yi couldn't help shivering again after thinking about it.
Xu Fu looked at Xiong Yi's appearance and was a little puzzled. He saw that Xiong Yi's appearance was too haggard, so he showed kindness and reminded him if he was too tired and should he take a good rest. Before he finished speaking, Xiong Yi could not hide his frightened expression on his face.
Did he say something terrible?
He hasn't said yet that he is willing to wait for Xiong Yi to rest for a night before leaving together.
The entourage behind Xiong Yi also trembled, and quickly supported Xiong Yi again, with trembling lips, he said: "My lord, shall we...shall we move on?"
"Continue..." Xiong Yi squeezed out these two words from his throat with difficulty, then turned around and was about to continue walking, but as soon as he took a step, he found that his legs were trembling, that's all, and he wasn't able to step firmly.It was not much better than the trembling old man.After walking a few steps, Xiong Yi became a little annoyed. Showing such a side in front of Xu Fu really humiliated him for the rest of his life.
Seeing that Xiong Yi's face darkened, the attendants at the side trembled more and more.
Xu Fu looked at their backs that insisted on moving forward even though they were trembling, and sighed for a long time, "Adversity sharpens people."
The corner of Bai Zhou's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer.
Xu Fu didn't notice, but they actually thought the same as Xiong Yi at that moment, almost immediately they thought of what Xu Fu said to the woman that day.
They were all terrified.
Mr. Xu is going to say that someone died again...
Fortunately, Mr. Xu didn't continue to talk, and the four of Bai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Xiong Yi turned around quickly and was about to leave, they coincidentally flashed sympathetic glances from their eyes.
The few of them had a good night's rest, and there was no embarrassment in going on their way at this time, so they easily caught up with Xiong Yi.
By the time Xiong Yi walked to the Shu county government office with his shoulders, his face was already pale, and his subordinates were not much better. As soon as he stepped into the city, he rolled his eyes and fainted under the strange eyes of passers-by. fell to the ground.
Xu Fu walked slowly to the edge of the city gate, and said in a low voice: "I have already reminded you that my complexion is not good and it is difficult to sleep at night, so I should take a rest first." Xu Fu clicked his tongue and stepped over from Xiong Yi's side.
Bai Zhou: ...
Gan Tang couldn't help muttering: "So Mr. Xu didn't mean that..."
As they spoke, they couldn't help casting sympathetic glances at Xiong Yi who was on the ground.
I have walked so much on my shoulders...
At this time, the magistrate of Shu County also knew the news of the people coming from Xianyang, and the people he sent out just happened to bump into them in front of the city gate.
If Xiong Yi was the only one who brought people here, no one might find them. After all, with Xiong Yi's dusty appearance and falling to the ground, who would know that he is the eldest son of Lord Changping?Xu Fu was different. After such a toss, he still maintained his composure and composure. Even in the humble white clothes, he wore aristocratic demeanor.As soon as he entered the door, he attracted the attention of many people. Many people secretly guessed whether this is the son of a merchant's family?
The person sent by the county guard naturally noticed Xu Fu.
With outstanding appearance and outstanding temperament, one can tell at a glance that he is not from Shu.
Could it be that this is the honored guest that the sheriff said?
Someone stepped forward and asked tentatively, "The guest is from Xianyang?"
Bai Zhou stood in front of Xu Fu vigilantly, and replied, "It's from Xianyang." Bai Zhou looked at the other party carefully, and confirmed that the other party's attire was indeed from the Chengdu prefecture, and then his expression eased a little. .
The man immediately bowed and said, "You dare to ask, but Mr. Xiong Yi? The villain was sent by the county guard to welcome Mr. Xiong Yi."
When Xu Fu heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.The county guard was well informed, the first person to greet him was Mr. Xiong Yi, but not him, the Tai Bu Cheng who was here on business, which shows what kind of person the county guard is, and he should be quite good at flattering and other things.
With a cold face, Bai Zhou pointed to Xiong Yi not far from his feet, "That's Mr. Xiong Yi."
A look of embarrassment and embarrassment flashed across the man's face, and he stopped liking Baizhou immediately, and even slightly vented his anger, thinking that it was the fault of Xu Fu and the others that made him admit the wrong person, and made such a big mistake!
He led his men to help Xiong Yi and the others up from the ground, when he saw Xiong Yi's face, there was a bit of nobility, and he thought he should be pampered on weekdays.That person decided that this should be Mr. Xiong Yi right!So he took the people and left first.
Xu Fu and the others were naturally left behind.
Bai Zhou seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, so he didn't panic, and escorted Xu Fu to find an inn near his home to stay, freshen up, and it was very comfortable.
Xu Fu was a little puzzled, could it be that Qin Shihuang expected that he would be treated like this after he came to Shu County?
·
"Ah!" Xiong Yi let out an exclamation, and then woke up from his deep sleep. He sat up from the bed with a complete loss of demeanor, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Xiong Yi really thought he was dead.
It's just that Xu Fu's words were too frightening. After he passed out due to extreme exhaustion, he deeply thought that he would never wake up from this sleep.
Until now, he was still in a trance for a moment.
"Mr. Xiong Yi." A male voice sounded in his ear, with just the right amount of enthusiasm.
Xiong Yi turned his head to look, and met the old face of the other party, "It turns out to be the Governor of Chen."
The county guard, Chen Hui, hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Xiong Yi, is there still something uncomfortable?"
Xiong Yi's face was a little dark, and he just remembered that he had walked for so long for nothing, but instead of answering Chen Hui's words, he asked, "Where is Xu Taibu now?"
Chen Hui was startled, "What Xu Taibu?"
Xiong Yi's face became even more ugly, "What about the young man who came to Shu County with me?"
"This... I haven't seen anyone here." Seeing that Xiong Yi's expression was not right, Chen Hui knew that the young man's status should be good, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring the person who was in charge of welcoming him.
After the person in charge came, with a flattering smile on his face, he bowed repeatedly and asked, "Young Master Xiong Yi, what's the matter?"
Chen Hui asked him coldly: "When you received Mr. Xiong Yi, did you ever see a boy in white beside him?"
The person in charge's cold sweat rushed to his forehead, and he stammered: "See, see."
"What about that man? Why didn't you bring him back to the Sheriff's Mansion?" Chen Hui frowned and asked sharply.
Xiong Yi waved his hand impatiently, "Stop talking so much, please bring me back first. That is Tai Bucheng from Fengchang Temple, surnamed Xu, who is a celebrity in front of the king. He is the one who came to Shu for inspection, not me! If you offend him, think about how to explain to the king yourself!" Although Xiong Yi was angry, he hadn't thought of discrediting Xu Fu in front of the county guard.
Hearing what Xiong Yi said was so serious, Chen Hui's face changed slightly, and the person in charge even knelt down on the ground with his legs limp, and it took him a while to get up and rush out to invite Xu Fu.
Of course Chen Hui knew that there would be officials coming to Shu, but he didn't take it seriously when he first heard that it was a fortune teller.
Tai Bu has always never left Xianyang City, and now this Tai Bu wants to go to Shu, he should be excluded, otherwise he is doing well in Xianyang City, why did he come to Shu?He is a big divination, his name is not right and his words are not right, so if he gets involved, isn't that asking for trouble?
That's why Chen Huicai didn't take Xu Taibu seriously.
It's just that what Xiong Yi said shouldn't be wrong, although I don't know why the Taibu insisted on coming to Sichuan, but he is a famous person in front of the king, so they must respect him first.
·
After the person in charge came out of the sheriff's mansion, he led people to search in the city anxiously.
This is also due to Xu Fu's outstanding appearance. He randomly caught a passer-by and asked about Xu Fu's whereabouts, and there were always passers-by who could answer a question or two.The person in charge rushed over non-stop. At this time, Xu Fu happened to be sitting in the inn hall and enjoying his meal. The four attendants beside him were tall and cold-faced, and they looked a bit fierce. No matter how curious the people around him were, they did not. He didn't dare to approach him either.
The person in charge came in and saw Xu Fu sitting in front of the desk at a glance. He breathed a sigh of relief and trotted over.
Bai Zhou glanced at him coldly, and the person in charge almost knelt down in front of Xu Fu as his legs gave way.
"Xu, Xu Taibu." The person in charge smiled dog-leggedly and made a gesture of invitation, "I didn't recognize Xu Taibu's identity before, but now the county guard ordered me to come to meet Xu Taibu, please ask Mrs. Xu Bu and I went back to the prefect's mansion together."
Come to find yourself so soon?
Xu Fu reckoned that Xiong Yi must have woken up, and informed the sheriff of his identity, otherwise this person would not have come to him.He still remembered the anger and contempt in Bai Zhou's eyes when he said that the person lying on the ground was Xiong Yi.
Seeing that Xu Fu only looked at him but remained silent for a long time, the person in charge panicked.
"Xu, Xu Taibu?" He whispered.
Xu Fu took the handkerchief from Sang Zhong and wiped his hands, then stood up, "Let's go."
Others didn't know what the person in charge said to Xu Fu, but they saw that he took away the beauties in the inn so easily, so it was inevitable that countless knives flew towards him. Get up trembling.
Although such a person seems too doggy, but such a person is very obedient, he bows his head when it is time to bow his head, and does not cause Xu Fu any trouble.
The group arrived at the sheriff's mansion, and after entering the door, the sheriff didn't let Xu Fu wait, and quickly greeted them, followed by the weak Xiong Yi.
Chen Hui smiled at Xu Fu, his attitude would not be too enthusiastic, nor too indifferent, "Xu Taibu, someone under his command made a mistake, and it is really rude to only receive Xu Taibu now, please Xu Taibu Haihan, be tolerant .”
Xu Fu nodded lightly and did not speak.
Anyway, he had the King Qin's signboard on his head, so he had to act more dignified now, if he took the initiative to lower his figure and make friends with that county guard, the other party would not take him seriously.It is enough to leave it to Xiong Yi to make friends with such a thing, and he will continue to play up his aloofness to leave these people with a sense of mystery.
Chen Hui thought that Xu Fu was still dissatisfied, so he turned his head and sternly said to the person in charge: "Don't plead guilty to Xu Taibu!"
Where did the person in charge dare to say anything more, he knelt down with a slap.
Xu Fu didn't look at him, but stared at the sheriff's face for a while.
Being stared at by a beauty like this, even if the other party is a man like himself, he would feel a little embarrassed, so Chen Hui was a little embarrassed by Xu Fu's stare, and couldn't help asking: "Tai Bu, what's so weird about me? ?”
Xu Fu nodded, "Yes."
Xiong Yi's heart twitched unconsciously, and his entourage also swallowed, staring at the sheriff nervously.
coming!
They said in unison in their hearts.
Xu Taibu is about to open that mouth again...
Chen Hui was suddenly stared at by so many pairs of eyes, and he didn't understand what happened to Xiong Yi and Xu Taibu. His body froze, his lips were tightly pressed, and he held back the questions in his heart and didn't ask. .
After a while, Xu Fucai said: "The sheriff's collar is messed up today..."
Xiong Yi, who had been waiting with bated breath, suddenly deflated like a burst balloon.They couldn't tell whether it was anticipation, joy, or fear in their hearts.But when they looked at Xu Fu, an idea popped up in their minds unconsciously, they must stay away from him!This Xu Taibu knows some weird spells!
They didn't notice that Chen Hui's face changed slightly, and he pretended to tug at the neckline unobtrusively, and said with a smile: "The waiter is not careful."
"That should be changed." Xu Fu finished speaking lightly, paused, and suddenly said: "The sheriff's complexion doesn't look very good, the sheriff should be careful these days, don't cause any trouble." Xu Fu The more he said this, the more ugly Chen Hui's face became.And Xu Fu didn't forget to add a sentence, "Don't take my words to heart, the sheriff, the sheriff should know what I do."
Chen Hui looked at Xu Fu with a bit of apprehension.
Xu Fu is good at divination!
He almost forgot this.
But after realizing this, Chen Hui's expression became even uglier.No one can laugh after hearing someone tell you to be careful.
Xu Fu looked away lazily, and asked, "Can the sheriff prepare a room for me?"
"Of course it is ready." The follower beside Chen Hui replied.
"Then take us there." Xu Fu suddenly stopped, and said again: "Tomorrow I will go to the vicinity of Dujiangyan, please ask the county guard to send me a local to lead the way."
Chen Hui nodded, and asked his followers to take Xu Fu to rest first, but he didn't say anything else to Xu Fu, probably because he was worried that Xu Fu would say something unpleasant again.
After sending off Xu Fu, Chen Hui breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that this Tai Bu was just a man to handle, but who knew that he was covered with icicles, which hurt his hands!
He turned around and saw Xiong Yi looking at him, his eyes seemed to have... pity?
Chen Hui couldn't help frowning again, what went wrong today?Why is Mr. Xiong Yi acting so weird?
Of course, Chen Hui couldn't think of the effect of Xu Fu's words. In the eyes of others, it could almost kill a person.
·
The attendant withdrew after taking the man there, leaving only two maids in the yard waiting to be dispatched.
Xu Fu asked Bai Zhou to close the door, and then he asked the puzzlement in his heart, "What's the name of the county guard? He seems to have a close relationship with Xiong Yi?"
"Chen Hui, the prefect of Shu County, was once a student of Lu Buwei, but secretly had many contacts with Lord Changping. After being recommended by Lu Buwei to the king, he came to Shu County and became a sheriff. He has half a teacher with Lord Changping. It's natural for you to get close to Xiong Yi." It was Jian Jia who answered, who looked taciturn on weekdays, just like his name, and seemed a bit feminine.
"No wonder..." Xu Fu whispered.
If he came alone, in a place like Sichuan, the county guard is the master, if he is really embarrassed by the county guard, what can he do?Xiong Yi was different, Xiong Yi had some friendship with the sheriff, he came with Xiong Yi, no matter what, the sheriff didn't dare to underestimate him at the first time, and he wouldn't make things difficult for him later on.
He said he was going to Dujiangyan, and the sheriff agreed, and Xiong Yi should have played a role in it.
Xu Fu could use Xiong Yi's identity to suppress Shu, and then give Xiong Yi the blame.
Woke up after resting all night in the county guard's mansion, washed and changed clothes under the service of the maids, Xu Fu returned to his appearance in the palace, and looked even colder and unattainable than when he first arrived in Shu County. Looking at his handsome profile, the maid couldn't help but blush.
The maid led him to the hall for breakfast.
Chen Hui and Xiong Yi, the prefects in the hall, were already there, and when they saw Xu Fu stepping in, they immediately stopped talking.
Xu Fu found a seat without looking sideways and sat down, while the maids brought the food to the table in front of him.Shu is actually a land of fish and rice, but due to severe floods and rugged mountain roads, compared with other counties, it lags far behind.It is undeniable that the food here has finally looked like the food of a previous life.Xu Fu enjoyed eating very much.
Xu Fu himself was full, and he didn't care whether the sheriff and Xiong Yi had finished eating, and suddenly asked: "How is the flood in Shu now?"
"It's still not like that." Chen Hui sighed, with a look of concern for the country and the people, the chopsticks in his hands paused, and he seemed to be unable to eat when he mentioned this matter.
It's okay for him to deceive other people with his appearance, but it's not easy to deceive Xu Fu.
Xu Fu's voice changed abruptly, and he became stern, "The sheriff has been here in Shu for several years, why is he still helpless against the floods? Isn't he extremely dereliction of duty!"
Chen Hui was a little stunned by his stern voice, and opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.
Who would be like Xu Fu, who wouldn't save any face, just opened his mouth and scolded him?What's more, what is the identity of Xu Taibu?Does he deserve to blame himself?Chen Hui's face became ugly again. Now that he was holding the chopsticks, he really couldn't eat.
Xu Fu felt a lot happier, he recovered his cold expression, stood up and walked out, looking alienated, said: "I've run out, the two of you can do it yourself."
Jian Jia told him last night that the construction of Dujiangyan began when Qin Shihuang was young, and until now there has been little effect and no major progress. Xu Fu does not believe that the county guard has not neglected his duties.
After leaving the hall, a servant brought over the local who led the way.
It was a middle-aged man, wearing a gray robe, with a dark complexion, he immediately laughed warmly when he saw Xu Fu, "Hi, sir, just call me Liu Er."
Xu Fu nodded and followed Liu Er out of the mansion.
The Sheriff's Mansion prepared a carriage and horse hides for Xu Fu, and Xu Fu was not polite, and directly got into the carriage, and Bai Zhou who was driving had Liu Er beside him.
The group quickly left the city and headed towards Dujiangyan.
This trip will take at least one day and one night.
Xu Fu brought food, and slept in the carriage for a while. When he was hungry, he ate some dry food, and then went to sleep after eating, which was not too difficult.
When night fell, Xu Fu was awakened suddenly by the sound of crackling rain.
Several people outside the carriage were completely drenched by the sudden heavy rain.
The rain in spring has always been thin, and no one thought that there would be such a heavy rain at this time. They were caught off guard, dripping wet, and sneezed again and again after a while.
Going to Dujiangyan, Xu Fu felt that there were too many people, so he only brought Bai Zhou and Sang Zhong with him.Now that there is an extra Liu Er, he wants to squeeze into the carriage to hide from the rain. Although it is a bit crowded, four people can accommodate them anyway.Xu Fu hurriedly put away the quilt and food, and asked people to come in first.
Fortunately, the three of them were still relatively healthy, and they didn't even sneeze.
It was Xu Fu who was infected by the cold air on their bodies, and after a while, he started sneezing one after another.
After a few sneezes, Xu Fu's eyes became foggy, and his nose was a little red. His cold demeanor was in sharp contrast to his pitiful appearance.Liu Er looked embarrassed and hurriedly turned around.Bai Zhou and Sang Zhong didn't dare to look too much, they quickly stepped back
There will definitely be panic, and Xu Fu is not surprised.His face-to-face skills are getting more and more proficient, and he basically can't make mistakes. He often gives people a feeling of almost magical calculations. Naturally, some people will be a little afraid of his ability.
But these are not important...
Xu Fu got off the carriage directly, and asked the woman: "But the girl who stopped me in the inn yesterday? I have already told her to stay away from the water, so why did she drown in the lake?" Xu Fu couldn't help but wrinkle eyebrow.
That is a life!The woman was still talking to him in front of him yesterday, and her pretty and moving face was still in his mind.
Although he has always been indifferent to others, but the person who was talking to you one day died the next day, so it is not impossible to be indifferent.
He also wanted to know why he had already reminded the woman, but instead of avoiding the disaster, she directly lost her life.
The strange woman couldn't stop crying when she heard the words, "Wei Niang's father and brother want to marry her to Linzhen, where is that town a good place? That family is not a good family either! Wei Niang and her father and brother at home resisted and went back last night. There was also a big fight, and her brother said that she would also be tied up to Linzhen, and then I don’t know what they said..." The woman bit her lip, and then continued: "... who knows today? When I went to look for her, I saw that her house was very deserted. After I went in and asked, I found out that Wei Niang was gone... It was said that she slipped and fell into the lake, but at night, Wei Niang was fine, how could she run outside and stumbled and fell? Entering the lake... I thought about what my husband said yesterday, and I felt very uneasy, so I hurried to keep him..."
After hearing this, the four of Bai Zhou frowned in unison.
The people on Xiong Yi's side looked indifferent, unmoved at all, and some were even a little irritable, dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Fu left as soon as he said it, without waiting for them at all, but now they have to stay and wait for Xu Fu.
What a hassle!
"Mr. Xu..." Bai Zhou couldn't help but speak.He really wanted Xu Fu to ignore these things and wasted his time, but at the moment he couldn't speak, so he only called out and stopped.
In fact, he no longer needs to make a choice.
Xu Fu raised his eyebrows and looked towards the narrow street.At the first light of day, there were several figures moving at the other end.When they approached quickly, everyone saw that it was a few men holding farm tools.The people on Xiong Yi's side couldn't help but sneered, looking at them with contempt and contempt.
But Bai Zhou and the others frowned even deeper.
When the strange woman saw these men, her face immediately changed, and she angrily said: "What are you doing here? How did Wei Niang die, are you going to explain clearly?"
The leading man said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about here?" After speaking, the man glanced at Xu Fu with vigilance in his eyes.
The smaller the place, the easier it is to meet such people. They are absolutely wary of outsiders.Not to mention the men and women who were fascinated by him in the inn yesterday, once Xu Fu touches the bottom line of this small town, he may be besieged by the entire small town.
It doesn't make sense to talk to these people about the Qin law. They often don't follow the Qin law and don't respect the government. They follow the family law or the rules established by the town.
The reason why Xu Fu knew all this was because when he was traveling in his previous life, he accidentally went to a small village in the mountains and almost offended the whole village. The kung fu bluffed them, and it was hard to say whether he had the life to leave there.
Xiong Yi's people really can't underestimate them.
The four of Bai Zhou looked at each other, and secretly squeezed the dagger at their waists.
Xu Fu's eyes wandered over those people, and he said: "It's getting late, we should leave."
The four of Bai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to escort Xu Fu and turn around to get on the carriage.
The strange woman showed an unbelievable expression, and shouted with trembling lips: "Sir...don't you care, sir..."
Sang Zhong couldn't help but said: "Girl, this matter has nothing to do with our husband, and yesterday's words were just a hand to help. We still have things to do, and we can't handle such housework."
The strange woman stared blankly at Sang Zhong, tears welling up again.
The leading man smiled, and whispered something in an unintelligible dialect, but seeing the unconcealed pride on his face, he knew it was not a good word.
Xu Fu turned around and got on the carriage, seeing that the carriage was about to move, the strange woman couldn't help but threw herself on the side of the carriage, and said in a desperate voice, "Why won't you stretch out your hand...Mister...Wei Niang died unjustly..."
The strange woman cried miserably.
Seeing this, Xiong Yi smiled and said, "So he is also a hypocrite." This sentence was of course aimed at Xu Fu.
Xu Fu also heard it, but his face did not change, but his eyes swept across the leader man again, seemingly casually, his voice was still cold, giving people a sense of alienation, "Don't panic, everyone in this world Everything pays attention to the cycle of karma and retribution. That girl died accidentally, and someone will pay the price."
Xu Fu's voice soothed the emotion of the strange woman.
The woman stared blankly at Xu Fu standing on the carriage, watched Xu Fu lift the curtain to enter, watched his white figure disappear behind the curtain, watched the carriage turn again...
It took the woman a long time to wake up from the cold voice, "...the cycle of karma? The cycle of retribution?" the woman murmured.
The leading man sneered, grabbed the agricultural tools in his hand, turned around and left with the people.
Xiong Yi lowered the curtain and signaled the driver to drive away.
It was just that his carriage had just turned around when he suddenly heard a scream, followed by a burst of noise.
"Stop the carriage." Xiong Yi couldn't help but said, and at the same time lifted the curtain of the carriage, looking back.
I saw that the leader man was lying on the ground at this moment, his head was bleeding profusely, and the people around him started yelling, and the scene panicked and out of control.The woman stood not far away, also stunned, unable to speak a word for a long time.
Xiong Yi opened his mouth unconsciously.
The doorman behind him was also startled, and said: "This Xu Fu... why does he speak so strangely?"
A well-behaved person turned around and kowtowed his head, looking like he was dead. Isn't it just like what Xu Fu said on the carriage, the cycle of karma and the cycle of retribution, that person will always pay the price?
Thinking about it, the doorman suddenly felt goose bumps all over his body, and his heart couldn't help trembling.
It took Xiong Yi a while to close his mouth, his expression was slightly stunned, and he said to the coachman: "Go..."
The coachman continued to drive the carriage forward, far away from the noisy voices behind him...
And in this carriage, Xu Fu also heard the noise, but he didn't raise the curtain to turn around.He thought it was those people who started fighting, but he didn't want to get involved in such troubles at all. It's a pity that the woman died, but it's only a pity. reputation.
Sang Zhong's voice suddenly sounded from outside the carriage. It seemed that he lost his voice because of being too frightened, "What Mr. Xu said has come true! Someone fell to the ground with a bloody head..."
"...so fast..." This was Bai Zhou's horrified voice.
Xu Fu who was sitting in the carriage was startled.
Someone fell to the ground with a bloody head?He really didn't have such advanced skills, and he could predict this step. If it is true that whoever dies, he will die, then he will either be praised by everyone and dare not offend, or he will be killed directly.
The reason why he can talk about the cycle of cause and effect is just a nonsense borrowed from Buddhism.
Of course, he also believes that a wicked person who commits his own crimes must not live. If God does not accept him now, he will eventually lose his life because of his evil deeds.What he said was originally intended to comfort the strange woman, but now he hit it by mistake and it became a mysterious proverb that must be hit in the eyes of everyone.
Xu Fu himself was in a trance for a moment.
Could it be that his kung fu has increased in the dark?
Bai Zhou was also in a daze. He unconsciously drove the carriage a little faster. When Xiong Yi's driver came to his senses and tried his best to catch up, he unfortunately found... !
The rest of Xiong Yi's subordinates also fell into a trance.
Unconsciously, fear rose towards Xu Fu in his heart.
·
Not long after leaving this small town, they gradually entered the land of Sichuan.
The road had indeed become a lot rougher. Xu Fu had just sat in the carriage for a while before he was jolted awake by the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted suddenly, revealing Bai Zhou's cold face, "Mr. Xu, I'm about to abandon the carriage."
"Abandoning the carriage?" Xu Fu looked over Bai Zhou's shoulder and looked ahead. It was a narrow path winding towards the ridge.Undoubtedly, the carriage is impassable.Even if the horse squeezed past, it would be difficult to run on the mountain.
This is the real mountain climbing!
It all depends on the legs!
Having already come here, it would be useless for Xu Fu not to be happy, he got out of the carriage, and asked involuntarily, "What about the carriage and horse?"
"There is a station nearby, stay here, someone will come and take it away."
Xu Fu nodded, watching Bai Zhou and the others take all the luggage off the horse, and Xu Fu also took his own luggage.
Fortunately, the shoes on his feet were specially ordered by Ying Zheng to be made. It is much more comfortable to walk on, and it is many times better than the shoes he wore when he was first reborn here.Walking on the mountain road should not hurt your feet.
Xu Fu followed Bai Zhou and the others to go up the mountain one step at a time. After Xiong Yi and his party finally arrived, Xiong Yi looked at the narrow path in front of him and the tall and rugged peak not far away, his expression changed instantly.
The road was rough, and the bumps of the carriage made his wounds all over his body ache, that was all, who would have thought that there would be such a thunderbolt waiting for him in the future...
For the first time, Xiong Yi wondered whether his own father would sell his son by mistake.
·
Xu Fu really turned over several small hillsides, and when he saw the crowds, there was already a flat area in front of him.
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the Land of Abundance in his memory.
Bai Zhou went to find a farmer's house, asking for a place to rest, so he could stop and wait for Xiong Yi.
Although Xiong Yi was annoying, he was Lord Changping's son after all, and he was more talkative in Shu County than a little Taibu Cheng.The reason why Qin Shihuang would say that someone was walking with him, and if he was in danger, he would let that person stand in front of him was probably the same intention.Taking advantage of Xiong Yi's value, let's make good use of it first.
Xu Fu felt that he had glimpsed Qin Shihuang's dark side.
Of course he didn't know that if he could come in person, Ying Zheng would have let Xiong Yi die in a cool way. Fortunately, Xiong Yi had a cannon fodder face. Ying Zheng thought from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for Xu Fu to fall in love with such a pig head , and then he was relieved, allowing Xiong Yi to go to Shu to be used by Xu Fuli.
Xu Fu rested at the farmer's house overnight. On the morning of the second day, he saw Xiong Yi who was in a state of embarrassment. Xiong Yi's subordinates were all exhausted, with chapped lips and dull eyes, as if they were about to leave in the next moment. It's like seeing Lord Hades.
Gan Tang smiled, and said with a broken mouth: "These girls usually don't go out of the door like Jiao girls, but now they don't come to Sichuan, they will die or live..."
Xu Fu secretly thought.
Without these four attendants, he might be the same as Xiong Yi.When he returned to Xianyang City, he really had to thank Qin Shihuang. Without Qin Shihuang's thoughtful preparation, how could he look comfortable and leisurely now, and appreciate Xiong Yi's fatigue with ease.
Supported by others, Xiong Yi stopped in front of Xu Fu panting.
He was dressed in white clothes so dirty, Xu Fu looked at him from head to toe, Mr. Xiong Yi, who was originally noble and arrogant, felt embarrassed in front of Xu Fu at this moment, Xiong Yi shrank his hands and feet unconsciously, and it took a long time to calm down and pant breath, "... When did Xu Taibu...arrive?"
"Yesterday, I had rested all night, and I am waiting here for Xiong Dian."
Xiong Yi suppressed the injustice in his chest and asked, "How far is it from Shu?"
"I've already entered the land of Shu, but I still have to walk a long way to see the sheriff." The person who answered the words was Bai Zhou.
Xiong Yi was not interested in talking to Bai Zhou, but seeing that Xu Fu had no intention of speaking, he could only shut up.
Thinking of the Sheriff of Shu County, and looking at the farmer in front of him, Xiong Yi gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Why don't we go directly to Shu County to see the Sheriff, then we can have a good rest." The farmer looked at him Dilapidated, how can you rest?A faint look of disgust flashed quickly in Xiong Yi's eyes.
Xu Fu didn't pay attention to his expression, but was a little surprised.
Xiong Yi was panting like a dog, yet he insisted on moving on?This is not like Xiong Yi's style.
Xu Fu looked him up and down again.
Xiong Yi shrank his hands and feet unconsciously, always feeling that he had exposed his clumsiness in front of Xu Fu, which was really embarrassing.
"Xiong Dian, have you not had a good rest lately, making it difficult to fall asleep every night?"
Do you have difficulty dreaming every night?
What a familiar word.
Just heard it two days ago.
Xiong Yi shivered unconsciously, moved his heels back, his voice was dry and hoarse, and he said reluctantly: "Oh...n-nothing..." After finishing speaking, Xiong Yi was even more reluctant to spend the night here I was afraid that after falling asleep, his coachman ran to Xu Fu the next day and said, Xu Taibu, our young master is dead.
Xiong Yi couldn't help shivering again after thinking about it.
Xu Fu looked at Xiong Yi's appearance and was a little puzzled. He saw that Xiong Yi's appearance was too haggard, so he showed kindness and reminded him if he was too tired and should he take a good rest. Before he finished speaking, Xiong Yi could not hide his frightened expression on his face.
Did he say something terrible?
He hasn't said yet that he is willing to wait for Xiong Yi to rest for a night before leaving together.
The entourage behind Xiong Yi also trembled, and quickly supported Xiong Yi again, with trembling lips, he said: "My lord, shall we...shall we move on?"
"Continue..." Xiong Yi squeezed out these two words from his throat with difficulty, then turned around and was about to continue walking, but as soon as he took a step, he found that his legs were trembling, that's all, and he wasn't able to step firmly.It was not much better than the trembling old man.After walking a few steps, Xiong Yi became a little annoyed. Showing such a side in front of Xu Fu really humiliated him for the rest of his life.
Seeing that Xiong Yi's face darkened, the attendants at the side trembled more and more.
Xu Fu looked at their backs that insisted on moving forward even though they were trembling, and sighed for a long time, "Adversity sharpens people."
The corner of Bai Zhou's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer.
Xu Fu didn't notice, but they actually thought the same as Xiong Yi at that moment, almost immediately they thought of what Xu Fu said to the woman that day.
They were all terrified.
Mr. Xu is going to say that someone died again...
Fortunately, Mr. Xu didn't continue to talk, and the four of Bai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Xiong Yi turned around quickly and was about to leave, they coincidentally flashed sympathetic glances from their eyes.
The few of them had a good night's rest, and there was no embarrassment in going on their way at this time, so they easily caught up with Xiong Yi.
By the time Xiong Yi walked to the Shu county government office with his shoulders, his face was already pale, and his subordinates were not much better. As soon as he stepped into the city, he rolled his eyes and fainted under the strange eyes of passers-by. fell to the ground.
Xu Fu walked slowly to the edge of the city gate, and said in a low voice: "I have already reminded you that my complexion is not good and it is difficult to sleep at night, so I should take a rest first." Xu Fu clicked his tongue and stepped over from Xiong Yi's side.
Bai Zhou: ...
Gan Tang couldn't help muttering: "So Mr. Xu didn't mean that..."
As they spoke, they couldn't help casting sympathetic glances at Xiong Yi who was on the ground.
I have walked so much on my shoulders...
At this time, the magistrate of Shu County also knew the news of the people coming from Xianyang, and the people he sent out just happened to bump into them in front of the city gate.
If Xiong Yi was the only one who brought people here, no one might find them. After all, with Xiong Yi's dusty appearance and falling to the ground, who would know that he is the eldest son of Lord Changping?Xu Fu was different. After such a toss, he still maintained his composure and composure. Even in the humble white clothes, he wore aristocratic demeanor.As soon as he entered the door, he attracted the attention of many people. Many people secretly guessed whether this is the son of a merchant's family?
The person sent by the county guard naturally noticed Xu Fu.
With outstanding appearance and outstanding temperament, one can tell at a glance that he is not from Shu.
Could it be that this is the honored guest that the sheriff said?
Someone stepped forward and asked tentatively, "The guest is from Xianyang?"
Bai Zhou stood in front of Xu Fu vigilantly, and replied, "It's from Xianyang." Bai Zhou looked at the other party carefully, and confirmed that the other party's attire was indeed from the Chengdu prefecture, and then his expression eased a little. .
The man immediately bowed and said, "You dare to ask, but Mr. Xiong Yi? The villain was sent by the county guard to welcome Mr. Xiong Yi."
When Xu Fu heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.The county guard was well informed, the first person to greet him was Mr. Xiong Yi, but not him, the Tai Bu Cheng who was here on business, which shows what kind of person the county guard is, and he should be quite good at flattering and other things.
With a cold face, Bai Zhou pointed to Xiong Yi not far from his feet, "That's Mr. Xiong Yi."
A look of embarrassment and embarrassment flashed across the man's face, and he stopped liking Baizhou immediately, and even slightly vented his anger, thinking that it was the fault of Xu Fu and the others that made him admit the wrong person, and made such a big mistake!
He led his men to help Xiong Yi and the others up from the ground, when he saw Xiong Yi's face, there was a bit of nobility, and he thought he should be pampered on weekdays.That person decided that this should be Mr. Xiong Yi right!So he took the people and left first.
Xu Fu and the others were naturally left behind.
Bai Zhou seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, so he didn't panic, and escorted Xu Fu to find an inn near his home to stay, freshen up, and it was very comfortable.
Xu Fu was a little puzzled, could it be that Qin Shihuang expected that he would be treated like this after he came to Shu County?
·
"Ah!" Xiong Yi let out an exclamation, and then woke up from his deep sleep. He sat up from the bed with a complete loss of demeanor, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Xiong Yi really thought he was dead.
It's just that Xu Fu's words were too frightening. After he passed out due to extreme exhaustion, he deeply thought that he would never wake up from this sleep.
Until now, he was still in a trance for a moment.
"Mr. Xiong Yi." A male voice sounded in his ear, with just the right amount of enthusiasm.
Xiong Yi turned his head to look, and met the old face of the other party, "It turns out to be the Governor of Chen."
The county guard, Chen Hui, hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Xiong Yi, is there still something uncomfortable?"
Xiong Yi's face was a little dark, and he just remembered that he had walked for so long for nothing, but instead of answering Chen Hui's words, he asked, "Where is Xu Taibu now?"
Chen Hui was startled, "What Xu Taibu?"
Xiong Yi's face became even more ugly, "What about the young man who came to Shu County with me?"
"This... I haven't seen anyone here." Seeing that Xiong Yi's expression was not right, Chen Hui knew that the young man's status should be good, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring the person who was in charge of welcoming him.
After the person in charge came, with a flattering smile on his face, he bowed repeatedly and asked, "Young Master Xiong Yi, what's the matter?"
Chen Hui asked him coldly: "When you received Mr. Xiong Yi, did you ever see a boy in white beside him?"
The person in charge's cold sweat rushed to his forehead, and he stammered: "See, see."
"What about that man? Why didn't you bring him back to the Sheriff's Mansion?" Chen Hui frowned and asked sharply.
Xiong Yi waved his hand impatiently, "Stop talking so much, please bring me back first. That is Tai Bucheng from Fengchang Temple, surnamed Xu, who is a celebrity in front of the king. He is the one who came to Shu for inspection, not me! If you offend him, think about how to explain to the king yourself!" Although Xiong Yi was angry, he hadn't thought of discrediting Xu Fu in front of the county guard.
Hearing what Xiong Yi said was so serious, Chen Hui's face changed slightly, and the person in charge even knelt down on the ground with his legs limp, and it took him a while to get up and rush out to invite Xu Fu.
Of course Chen Hui knew that there would be officials coming to Shu, but he didn't take it seriously when he first heard that it was a fortune teller.
Tai Bu has always never left Xianyang City, and now this Tai Bu wants to go to Shu, he should be excluded, otherwise he is doing well in Xianyang City, why did he come to Shu?He is a big divination, his name is not right and his words are not right, so if he gets involved, isn't that asking for trouble?
That's why Chen Huicai didn't take Xu Taibu seriously.
It's just that what Xiong Yi said shouldn't be wrong, although I don't know why the Taibu insisted on coming to Sichuan, but he is a famous person in front of the king, so they must respect him first.
·
After the person in charge came out of the sheriff's mansion, he led people to search in the city anxiously.
This is also due to Xu Fu's outstanding appearance. He randomly caught a passer-by and asked about Xu Fu's whereabouts, and there were always passers-by who could answer a question or two.The person in charge rushed over non-stop. At this time, Xu Fu happened to be sitting in the inn hall and enjoying his meal. The four attendants beside him were tall and cold-faced, and they looked a bit fierce. No matter how curious the people around him were, they did not. He didn't dare to approach him either.
The person in charge came in and saw Xu Fu sitting in front of the desk at a glance. He breathed a sigh of relief and trotted over.
Bai Zhou glanced at him coldly, and the person in charge almost knelt down in front of Xu Fu as his legs gave way.
"Xu, Xu Taibu." The person in charge smiled dog-leggedly and made a gesture of invitation, "I didn't recognize Xu Taibu's identity before, but now the county guard ordered me to come to meet Xu Taibu, please ask Mrs. Xu Bu and I went back to the prefect's mansion together."
Come to find yourself so soon?
Xu Fu reckoned that Xiong Yi must have woken up, and informed the sheriff of his identity, otherwise this person would not have come to him.He still remembered the anger and contempt in Bai Zhou's eyes when he said that the person lying on the ground was Xiong Yi.
Seeing that Xu Fu only looked at him but remained silent for a long time, the person in charge panicked.
"Xu, Xu Taibu?" He whispered.
Xu Fu took the handkerchief from Sang Zhong and wiped his hands, then stood up, "Let's go."
Others didn't know what the person in charge said to Xu Fu, but they saw that he took away the beauties in the inn so easily, so it was inevitable that countless knives flew towards him. Get up trembling.
Although such a person seems too doggy, but such a person is very obedient, he bows his head when it is time to bow his head, and does not cause Xu Fu any trouble.
The group arrived at the sheriff's mansion, and after entering the door, the sheriff didn't let Xu Fu wait, and quickly greeted them, followed by the weak Xiong Yi.
Chen Hui smiled at Xu Fu, his attitude would not be too enthusiastic, nor too indifferent, "Xu Taibu, someone under his command made a mistake, and it is really rude to only receive Xu Taibu now, please Xu Taibu Haihan, be tolerant .”
Xu Fu nodded lightly and did not speak.
Anyway, he had the King Qin's signboard on his head, so he had to act more dignified now, if he took the initiative to lower his figure and make friends with that county guard, the other party would not take him seriously.It is enough to leave it to Xiong Yi to make friends with such a thing, and he will continue to play up his aloofness to leave these people with a sense of mystery.
Chen Hui thought that Xu Fu was still dissatisfied, so he turned his head and sternly said to the person in charge: "Don't plead guilty to Xu Taibu!"
Where did the person in charge dare to say anything more, he knelt down with a slap.
Xu Fu didn't look at him, but stared at the sheriff's face for a while.
Being stared at by a beauty like this, even if the other party is a man like himself, he would feel a little embarrassed, so Chen Hui was a little embarrassed by Xu Fu's stare, and couldn't help asking: "Tai Bu, what's so weird about me? ?”
Xu Fu nodded, "Yes."
Xiong Yi's heart twitched unconsciously, and his entourage also swallowed, staring at the sheriff nervously.
coming!
They said in unison in their hearts.
Xu Taibu is about to open that mouth again...
Chen Hui was suddenly stared at by so many pairs of eyes, and he didn't understand what happened to Xiong Yi and Xu Taibu. His body froze, his lips were tightly pressed, and he held back the questions in his heart and didn't ask. .
After a while, Xu Fucai said: "The sheriff's collar is messed up today..."
Xiong Yi, who had been waiting with bated breath, suddenly deflated like a burst balloon.They couldn't tell whether it was anticipation, joy, or fear in their hearts.But when they looked at Xu Fu, an idea popped up in their minds unconsciously, they must stay away from him!This Xu Taibu knows some weird spells!
They didn't notice that Chen Hui's face changed slightly, and he pretended to tug at the neckline unobtrusively, and said with a smile: "The waiter is not careful."
"That should be changed." Xu Fu finished speaking lightly, paused, and suddenly said: "The sheriff's complexion doesn't look very good, the sheriff should be careful these days, don't cause any trouble." Xu Fu The more he said this, the more ugly Chen Hui's face became.And Xu Fu didn't forget to add a sentence, "Don't take my words to heart, the sheriff, the sheriff should know what I do."
Chen Hui looked at Xu Fu with a bit of apprehension.
Xu Fu is good at divination!
He almost forgot this.
But after realizing this, Chen Hui's expression became even uglier.No one can laugh after hearing someone tell you to be careful.
Xu Fu looked away lazily, and asked, "Can the sheriff prepare a room for me?"
"Of course it is ready." The follower beside Chen Hui replied.
"Then take us there." Xu Fu suddenly stopped, and said again: "Tomorrow I will go to the vicinity of Dujiangyan, please ask the county guard to send me a local to lead the way."
Chen Hui nodded, and asked his followers to take Xu Fu to rest first, but he didn't say anything else to Xu Fu, probably because he was worried that Xu Fu would say something unpleasant again.
After sending off Xu Fu, Chen Hui breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that this Tai Bu was just a man to handle, but who knew that he was covered with icicles, which hurt his hands!
He turned around and saw Xiong Yi looking at him, his eyes seemed to have... pity?
Chen Hui couldn't help frowning again, what went wrong today?Why is Mr. Xiong Yi acting so weird?
Of course, Chen Hui couldn't think of the effect of Xu Fu's words. In the eyes of others, it could almost kill a person.
·
The attendant withdrew after taking the man there, leaving only two maids in the yard waiting to be dispatched.
Xu Fu asked Bai Zhou to close the door, and then he asked the puzzlement in his heart, "What's the name of the county guard? He seems to have a close relationship with Xiong Yi?"
"Chen Hui, the prefect of Shu County, was once a student of Lu Buwei, but secretly had many contacts with Lord Changping. After being recommended by Lu Buwei to the king, he came to Shu County and became a sheriff. He has half a teacher with Lord Changping. It's natural for you to get close to Xiong Yi." It was Jian Jia who answered, who looked taciturn on weekdays, just like his name, and seemed a bit feminine.
"No wonder..." Xu Fu whispered.
If he came alone, in a place like Sichuan, the county guard is the master, if he is really embarrassed by the county guard, what can he do?Xiong Yi was different, Xiong Yi had some friendship with the sheriff, he came with Xiong Yi, no matter what, the sheriff didn't dare to underestimate him at the first time, and he wouldn't make things difficult for him later on.
He said he was going to Dujiangyan, and the sheriff agreed, and Xiong Yi should have played a role in it.
Xu Fu could use Xiong Yi's identity to suppress Shu, and then give Xiong Yi the blame.
Woke up after resting all night in the county guard's mansion, washed and changed clothes under the service of the maids, Xu Fu returned to his appearance in the palace, and looked even colder and unattainable than when he first arrived in Shu County. Looking at his handsome profile, the maid couldn't help but blush.
The maid led him to the hall for breakfast.
Chen Hui and Xiong Yi, the prefects in the hall, were already there, and when they saw Xu Fu stepping in, they immediately stopped talking.
Xu Fu found a seat without looking sideways and sat down, while the maids brought the food to the table in front of him.Shu is actually a land of fish and rice, but due to severe floods and rugged mountain roads, compared with other counties, it lags far behind.It is undeniable that the food here has finally looked like the food of a previous life.Xu Fu enjoyed eating very much.
Xu Fu himself was full, and he didn't care whether the sheriff and Xiong Yi had finished eating, and suddenly asked: "How is the flood in Shu now?"
"It's still not like that." Chen Hui sighed, with a look of concern for the country and the people, the chopsticks in his hands paused, and he seemed to be unable to eat when he mentioned this matter.
It's okay for him to deceive other people with his appearance, but it's not easy to deceive Xu Fu.
Xu Fu's voice changed abruptly, and he became stern, "The sheriff has been here in Shu for several years, why is he still helpless against the floods? Isn't he extremely dereliction of duty!"
Chen Hui was a little stunned by his stern voice, and opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.
Who would be like Xu Fu, who wouldn't save any face, just opened his mouth and scolded him?What's more, what is the identity of Xu Taibu?Does he deserve to blame himself?Chen Hui's face became ugly again. Now that he was holding the chopsticks, he really couldn't eat.
Xu Fu felt a lot happier, he recovered his cold expression, stood up and walked out, looking alienated, said: "I've run out, the two of you can do it yourself."
Jian Jia told him last night that the construction of Dujiangyan began when Qin Shihuang was young, and until now there has been little effect and no major progress. Xu Fu does not believe that the county guard has not neglected his duties.
After leaving the hall, a servant brought over the local who led the way.
It was a middle-aged man, wearing a gray robe, with a dark complexion, he immediately laughed warmly when he saw Xu Fu, "Hi, sir, just call me Liu Er."
Xu Fu nodded and followed Liu Er out of the mansion.
The Sheriff's Mansion prepared a carriage and horse hides for Xu Fu, and Xu Fu was not polite, and directly got into the carriage, and Bai Zhou who was driving had Liu Er beside him.
The group quickly left the city and headed towards Dujiangyan.
This trip will take at least one day and one night.
Xu Fu brought food, and slept in the carriage for a while. When he was hungry, he ate some dry food, and then went to sleep after eating, which was not too difficult.
When night fell, Xu Fu was awakened suddenly by the sound of crackling rain.
Several people outside the carriage were completely drenched by the sudden heavy rain.
The rain in spring has always been thin, and no one thought that there would be such a heavy rain at this time. They were caught off guard, dripping wet, and sneezed again and again after a while.
Going to Dujiangyan, Xu Fu felt that there were too many people, so he only brought Bai Zhou and Sang Zhong with him.Now that there is an extra Liu Er, he wants to squeeze into the carriage to hide from the rain. Although it is a bit crowded, four people can accommodate them anyway.Xu Fu hurriedly put away the quilt and food, and asked people to come in first.
Fortunately, the three of them were still relatively healthy, and they didn't even sneeze.
It was Xu Fu who was infected by the cold air on their bodies, and after a while, he started sneezing one after another.
After a few sneezes, Xu Fu's eyes became foggy, and his nose was a little red. His cold demeanor was in sharp contrast to his pitiful appearance.Liu Er looked embarrassed and hurriedly turned around.Bai Zhou and Sang Zhong didn't dare to look too much, they quickly stepped back
