At the Sheriff's Mansion, the old staff member pulled Liu Gaohua to the back door of the official residence. Liu Gaohua saw a carriage ready, as if he was about to go on a long trip. The old man stretched out his palm and said with a smile: "Sir, please get in the carriage."
A woman opened the curtain, pear blossoms looked like rain. When she saw that it was her younger brother Liu Gaohua, she felt a little relieved. She lowered the curtain and leaned against the wall of the car. She missed Liu Lang.
Liu Gaohua was confused, "Uncle Song, what are you doing?"
The old gentleman said solemnly: "The Sheriff wants me to escort you out of the city."
Liu Gaohua became anxious, "What are you doing out of the city at this time? Is Rouge County really in danger of a disaster? Uncle Song, the more this happens, the less I can leave here. What should I do if something happens to dad?"
The old staff member who had been in the county governor's mansion for many years laughed and said, "If something really happens, what can you, a helpless scholar, do?"
Liu Gaohua was speechless.
The old man urged: "Sir, let's go, the eldest lady is still waiting."
Liu Gaohua shook his head and said: "I'm not leaving anyway! If I want to leave, let my sister go alone..."
Before Liu Gaohua finished speaking, he suddenly ran towards the back door, but as soon as his eyes were blurred, he found that the old man had blocked the door at some point. When Liu Gaohua stopped, the old man smiled, like an old fox, sizing up the young man in front of him,
"Uncle Song has been around in the world, and he knows a little bit about tricks. Are you going to get on the carriage by yourself, or will you choose to be knocked unconscious by me and carry you on the carriage? To be honest, Uncle Song is already an old man, running around with someone on his back.
, can you bear it?”
Liu Gaohua stiffened his neck and said, "Knock me out!"
The old staff member sighed, "Your father knows about your bad temper. He originally wanted me to tell you something. I was afraid of hurting the relationship between you and my son, so I deliberately hid it. Now that you are so virtuous, I have no choice but to tell you the truth."
Now, your father is telling you, 'Liu Gaohua, you haven't done anything to make me happy in the past twenty years, so don't stay in the house and be an eyesore, okay?'"
Liu Gaohua's eyes were red and his lips were trembling.
Liu Gaohua was silent for a moment and said feebly: "Where is my sister?"
The old staff member shook his head and said: "I can't care about it for the moment. You and the eldest lady should leave first. I have already sent someone to find the second lady."
Liu Gaohua was going to be stubborn again, and the thin old man became anxious. He stamped his feet and said angrily: "My eldest son Liu, I am not telling you that a big man, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law can achieve great things!"
Liu Gaohua said aggrievedly: "My parents don't care, and my sister doesn't care either. It's surprising that a heartless bastard like me can achieve such great things!"
The old man was choked by these words and shouted angrily: "Let's go, let's go quickly."
Liu Gaohua was a little confused and always felt that whatever he did was wrong.
At this time, he felt the heavy burdens that had been weighing heavily on his heart before, such as his father who was busy with official affairs and moral articles, liked to talk to outsiders, was willing to play chess with the family members all afternoon, and never hesitated to praise the children of all his close friends.
He was only lukewarm towards his biological son, especially after his expectations for the imperial examination failed, and he would use words to stab him...
Only now do I realize that these things are nothing to worry about.
The old man sighed and said, "Let's go. If you stay here, you will only cause trouble and make your parents worry in vain."
Liu Gaohua smiled miserably, "Then let's go."
The old man nodded, and when Liu Gaohua got into the carriage, the old man drove the carriage slowly out of the streets where every door was closed, with horses hooves wagging all the way to the south of the city.
On the road, I looked around at the scene of the county city. Most of the streets were still bustling with tourists, shops, and bustle. I had no idea that the crisis had enveloped the entire city, and there was a thin line between life and death. According to General Ma, the demon must be so aggressive.
Be prepared. If the worst-case scenario comes, hundreds of people will not die. In the history of Caiyi Kingdom, there have been many disasters that the court has defined as plagues, which have harmed tens of thousands of people, including the evil master of the evil way.
Formation, or some filthy magic weapons are out of control. People who die in such accidents often leave their bodies to be exposed to the sun without daring to collect their bodies for burial. This was the case with the plague that affected Rouge County and others.
There are large mass graves covering hundreds of miles around.
When innocence is about to collapse, who among the ignorant people can escape? Unless there is a tall man who can withstand it. If you can't, you will have to wait for death.
The old man felt a little emotional in his heart. What the Sheriff's Mansion and Prefect Liu did this time made him, an old staff member, look up to him with admiration.
Prefect Liu paid money to ask Chongmiao Taoist Feijian to send a message. It is true that the Lingxi sect will definitely send people to rescue. It is true that Cai Luan can carry people to ride the wind and quickly go south. It is true that it is true.
But how fast, Governor Liu lied, Cai Luan flew alone and could indeed reach the sky above Rouge County at noon tomorrow. However, if he carried two or three people, he might not be able to approach the northern border of Rouge County at night.
Why did Liu Taishou lie? Because as the head of a county on the Mu Shou side, Liu Taishou needs someone to stand up in times of crisis. These people can support Cai Luan until Cai Luan arrives with people. That is the best result. If they can support
By noon tomorrow, everyone who has shown up and forged a personal vendetta against the demon will actually have no way out and can only live and die with the county and city.
If the big demon lurking in the city keeps his troops stationary and does not cause trouble until noon tomorrow, it will be fine. Prefect Liu will still have a way to force him to show up.
If Rouge County declares war on its own initiative, the demon can still endure until the day after tomorrow. It doesn't matter, the county will be in a good situation for reinforcements from all directions by then, especially the Immortal Master of the Lingxi Sect is really about to arrive. Liu Taishou will not be worried about the situation.
.
So, when a scholar is cornered and becomes ruthless, he can drown someone if he is full of evil.
This was also the first time that the old man really got to know his mastermind Liu Taishou. Instead of being disappointed, the old man felt that it was worth a drink.
It's a pity that the chance is probably slim.
Before deceiving the young master Liu Gaohua to the back door, the old man had some heartfelt words with Prefect Liu.
Governor Liu said frankly that if the disaster in Rouge County ended with the death of one or two hundred people, he would definitely run away if he could. But if many, many innocent people were to die, he would not run away.
At that time, the scholar in official uniform pointed to his heart and said that something was wrong here.
He also said that he had read so many books by saints and sages, and he could be said to have been old friends with them for many years. If he survived this time, he might not have the shame to read the books in the future, and would not be able to see those old friends.
"If I never read again in this life, what fun would there be in living?"
The father-in-law of Rouge County, who had never experienced war or gunfire in his life, actually had his teeth chattering, his face turning pale, and his legs swaying, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, when he spoke those sincere words.
Let the old staff see everything clearly.
Speaking bold words with such a cowardly attitude,
It seems quite funny.
But the old staff member couldn't laugh, nor did he think it was funny.
Some scholars who have become officials are indeed different from those poor scholars who think they have not been recognized for their talents and were born at the wrong time.
The old man who acted as the groom recovered his thoughts and accelerated his horse's hooves out of the city.
The old man couldn't help but look back. He didn't know where the naughty apprentice he had secretly taken in had gone to play. He couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked. He just asked him not to get into trouble. This time, Rouge County's catastrophe will definitely not happen.
It's not something she can make into paste.
The old man shook his head and said helplessly: "The rivers and lakes are murky and the mountains are windy. It's hard to get along anywhere. Is it so difficult to make a living and make a living?"
————
There is a rice shop in the north of Rouge County. It has been open for more than 20 years. The owner of the shop is a tall, thin old man who is taciturn all year round. The two guys in the shop who have followed the old man and have taken root in the county are not very fond of joking, but they often go to Chenghuang.
They burn incense in the pavilion, which makes the neighbors feel better. In addition, the rice and mountain delicacies sold in the rice shop are of high quality and low price, so the business is not bad.
Today, two outsiders came to Mipu, a middle-aged couple who looked honest and honest. The shop closed early. A young waiter who was newly recruited by Mipu at the end of winter last year explained that it was shopkeeper Mi who came with distant relatives.
No one thinks it's strange. It's normal for relatives who haven't visited in so many years to talk more after meeting.
After the shop closed, the shop owner and his wife sat at the table. There was a sumptuous meal on the table, and the aroma was fragrant. The three shop assistants gathered together from a distance to eat melon seeds. Obviously, they were not qualified to sit down.
The man who had come from afar stretched out his hand and grabbed a greasy chicken leg, gnawing it wildly. He held a wine bottle in one hand, and when he raised his head to pour the wine, half of it spilled out.
The woman tilted her head slightly, pinched the skin of her chin with two fingers, and tore off a thin piece of dough with a light tear. She threw it heavily on the table, then leaned back on the chair and exhaled heavily, "
This piece of shit is really painful to wear, I can’t breathe smoothly, and it costs thirty pieces of snow…”
The three store clerks in the distance gasped. The woman who had taken off her disguise looked really ugly!
The three brothers looked at each other and smiled, feeling that for thirty cents for that piece of dough, it was a great deal for the woman to buy it.
As the woman spoke, she stretched out her other hand, tore off the second piece of dough, and threw it on the table.
The three of them were stunned and swallowed.
This old lady was extremely good-looking. The three of them began to pray in unison that she would not have a third face. So when the woman raised her arms again, the three of them wailed silently in their hearts. Oh well, she is actually an ugly woman. Unexpectedly, she has a charming appearance.
The man gave them a wink, and said delicately: "No, sister looks like this, isn't she beautiful?"
The owner of the rice shop said angrily: "Hurry up and get down to business."
The man raised his chin to signal the woman to talk, while he was busy drinking and eating meat.
The woman took out a small mirror, straightened her black hair and temples in front of it, and said lazily: "Mi Laomo, we are here to share the stolen goods with you."
The old man picked up a chopstick of pickled vegetables and chewed them in his mouth until they were crispy. He frowned and said, "You haven't even gotten the stolen goods yet, but you want to divide them? Are you two mentally ill?"
The woman lowered the mirror slightly and said with a charming smile: "You and Liuli Immortal are very close and have an irreversible relationship. They have been old friends for more than a hundred years. Of course we husband and wife know this. The ship is about to sink. Mi Laomo, you can't accompany me."
Did he drown together?
The old man who was called Milaomo stopped his chopsticks and asked, "How do you say it?"
"It's so beautiful. It's a top-quality product that costs eighty cents. But I'm too cowardly. I asked two hundred cents for it, but they didn't dare to help me make a dough that's 70-80% similar to He Xiaoliang's.
