Bold, how dare you break Ben Hou

After exchanging pleasantries, Qingzhi also knew that this Zhao Fuyi came to post on purpose.

Originally, when the central cadres came to inspect, the local people naturally had to arrange everything.

Qingzhi is naturally delighted when someone invites guests, but it is really impossible to go today.

Hearing this, Zhao Renchang felt like a sorghum that had been beaten by the autumn wind, his feet went limp, and he knelt on the ground: "But... how can I not treat you well?"

The bone fan in Qingzhi's hand shook: "That's not true, it's just that Shencheng, Huizhou can be regarded as the ancestral home of Ben Hou. The emperor also wanted me to come back to the ancestral grave for incense. I owe it first, and I will make it up to Ben Hou in a few days!"

After dealing with Zhao Renchang and Liu Dafu, Qingzhi turned to the emperor's cousin and asked, "How did you behave just now?"

"The lewd-cheesy look is quite relevant."

Qing Zhi curled his lips, Fang Lansheng came out from the back room, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, do you want to start now?"

The two nodded and stepped out of the main hall one after the other.

Fu Yanxin was driving the carriage, and although Qingzhi was sitting in the carriage, he still raised the curtain to look out from time to time.Huizhou Mansion is worthy of being a rich place. The streets are crowded with people, small stalls gather, shouts, and the sound of buying and selling can be heard endlessly. It is a thriving scene.

"Under this prosperity, the people in the Huizhou Mansion have been embezzling a lot of taxes. You can't believe the saying that Huizhou Mansion is the world's granary." Qing Zhi fiddled with some knowledge Fang Lansheng said, which aroused Gu Jixiu's sympathy: "Although the people's livelihood is good, it doesn't mean that the people in the whole country are living well. Not to mention how much yearly tribute was stolen in the account books, it refers to the land tax. A farmer receives ten taels and five for one mu of land. Hehe, a The proceeds from mu of land are only 20 taels, and what is handed over to the state treasury is only a layer of their [-] or [-] li."

A sneer floated on his lips: "It's true that the king doesn't know the suffering of the people."

This self-deprecating sentence made the two people in the carriage silent at the same time, because in the city, the carriage stopped and went, but it was not very fast.

It felt like a long time before it stopped steadily, Qingzhi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, looked up, and saw the high wall of Zhumen in front of him, and a large gold-painted plaque was hung right in front of it, on which was written: Baili Mansion.

It is the hometown of Lord Hou.

Liu Fu stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, the door opened a small crack, and a silvery hair poked out, looking at Liu Fu, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Qingzhi stepped forward and was about to make a sound, but the old man's eyes flashed and he rushed towards Qingzhi: "Master Hou!"

When the people inside heard the movement, they also came out: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

"Old lady, come and see, Master Hou... Master Hou is back!"

Qingzhi was even more terrified when he was dragged by the old man's side, and an old woman walked out of it. She was stunned when she saw Qingzhi, and immediately stretched out her hand to slap the old man hanging on Qingzhi's body: "Old man, you are really The more you live, the older you get! Look clearly, this is not the Marquis, but the little Marquis!"

After entering the house in shock, Qingzhi knew that the two just now were servants of Baili's family.

When the little Hou Ye's father Bai Liyi was not yet the son-in-law of the old emperor, he was just the son of a farmer in Shencheng, Huizhou Prefecture. Both his parents died when he was young, and he was brought up by Uncle Wang from the next door.When he grew up, he became a champion of martial arts, and later married Jin Zhi and became a marquis. He also wanted to bring Uncle Wang and his wife, who had long been parents, to Chang'an to live together.Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang was very stubborn, fearing that others would find out their identities would be bad for Bai Liyi, so he refused to go anyway, so Bai Liyi had no choice but to build an old house in Shencheng for them to live in.

A farewell is life and death.

It is said that when the news of Bailiyi's death came, Uncle Wang didn't eat or drink for several days, and almost went with his godson.

It's just that he is stubborn, and he is more blessed than Xiaohouye's father, and he survived it abruptly, but he misses the child from childhood to adulthood even more, no, that's why he mistakenly thinks Qingzhi is Xiaohouye's father.

Baili's house is not big, and compared to Liu Dafu's mansion, it is even more pitiful.

But this house with three entrances and three exits only lived in Uncle Wang and his wife, so it seemed too empty.

Qingzhi went inside, Uncle Wang and his wife followed Qingzhi, their eyes were full of tears, they were afraid that Qingzhi would disappear in the blink of an eye, making Qingzhi very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't do anything, Gu Jixiu pointed out that he wanted to come to Baili's old house, and Qingzhi couldn't disobey his intention, everyone turned around, Gu Jixiu left others in the main hall, and asked Uncle Wang to take him with him. , Pick up the green one and go to the house where the worship is held.

Uncle Wang pushed open the door, but the inside was clean with a trace of dust. According to him, he and Po Wang burn incense and clean it every day, so they are loyal to Baili's family.

Qingzhi closed the door with his backhand, glanced over, saw Gu Jixiu looking all the way over, and stopped under the memorial tablet of the young master's father.
