Chapter 41: Serving as an official for the people

Dakui took the waist tag and the money bag, put the waist tag into his arms, took out about three taels of silver from the money bag, walked to the shopkeeper and said: "I am not a person who deceives the people. I will never give you credit as promised."

Don’t default on your debt, just take it.”

The shopkeeper was still dazed after being slapped. When he saw Da Kui handing over the money, he reached out to take it. Fan Zhongqi saw him and walked over and kicked him to the ground: "You are a bitch. The General Secretary has arrived, Zhao

The county magistrate also needs to meet the captain ten miles away. The captain of our school will settle some of the food money. Do you dare to accept the money from the general envoy?" He raised his whip and was about to whip it, but Da Kui quickly stopped him when he saw this.

Dakui advised: "Hey, General Fan should calm down over some trivial matter." After that, he said to everyone: "Get up, everyone. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with you." After that, he went to help the shop boy up and said

Put three taels of silver into his hand.

Dakui turned around and returned the money bag to Captain Fan and said, "Thank you very much, Captain Fan, for rescuing me." Captain Fan waved his hand and said, "I'll leave this little money for your expenses..." Dakui forced the purse back.

She smiled at him and said, "I will be at the end of the land immediately without any hassle."

Captain Fan had no choice but to take the money bag and said: "I will immediately send someone to inform the county magistrate Mr. Zhao..." Dakui said: "I just came back to visit my family when I have free time, so there is no need to mobilize troops." After speaking, he pointed at Yang Xiaohu and said: "

I want to take this person as a follower, and I also ask Captain Fan to go back and apply for a secondment."

Captain Fan said with envy in his eyes: "This boy is really lucky to be able to serve as your personal attendant. Don't worry, sir, this matter will be taken care of next time."

Dakui said: "Now I take my leave." After that, he pulled Yang Xiaohu, who was stupidly aside, and said: "Prepare the horse." Yang Xiaohu was smart and hurriedly went to lead the horse.

When Captain Fan saw that Da Kui was about to leave, he said politely: "I just happened to be inspecting the post station. As soon as the captain told me about your business, I led people to rush over. Why don't you stay a little while, and I will prepare a small amount of wine for you.

Wash off the dust.”

Dakui smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Don't worry, Colonel Fan. When I see General Chang, I will definitely say a few good words for Colonel Fan." Colonel Fan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed his hands and said, "Young general can stand out.

It all depends on your support." At this time, Yang Xiaohu took the horse, and Dakui smiled, turned on the horse and cupped his hands, "I take my leave now."

Fan Xiaowei hurriedly returned the gift with his hands in hand: "I respectfully send you your Majesty the General Secretary."

Dakui and Yang Xiaohu galloped toward Tiantai Mountain. After walking for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of Tiantai Mountain.

The two dismounted and reached out to hold the horse's reins, and walked up the mountain road.

There are green trees and red flowers on both sides of the mountain road, and the scenery is so pleasant that you will be mesmerized by it.

Yang Xiaohu exclaimed: "This place is really beautiful." Dakui smiled and said: "Well, I will settle here when I retire." Yang Xiaohu said with a smile: "If you want to settle down here, you might as well take your subordinates with you." Dakui said with a smile.

Hehe smiled and said: "Okay, I'll take you with me."

"Hahahahaha" the hearty laughter of the two people echoed in the mountains.

In front of the gate of Qingxu Guanshan, Dakui and Yang Xiaohu stopped. Dakui handed the reins of the horse to Yang Xiaohu and said, "You wait here, I'll call the door."

Dakui walked up to the mountain gate and reached out to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, Hui Qing came and opened the gate. When he saw Dakui, he was surprised and said: "Foolish uncle, you are back...Hey, uncle has become an official."

?Hehe, your clothes are really decent." Dakui smiled and said, "I'll come back to see Master." Huiqing stepped aside and said, "Master, come in quickly." When he saw Yang Xiaohu, Huiqing hurriedly asked: "

Uncle Master, who is outside the door?" Dakui said: "This is my attendant Yang Xiaohu, please take him to the guest room to serve tea, don't neglect it."

Dakui said as he walked towards the temple. He saw that the old pines beside the door were still as old as before, with winding green branches and lush leaves.

Da Kui arrived at the door of Master Lingzhi's monastery, bowed and said: "Master, this disciple is here to see you." Master Lingzhi's voice came from the room: "Come in." Da Kui followed the words and pushed the door into the room, backhand.

After closing the door, he turned around and walked up to the futon against the wall, lifted up his robe and sat cross-legged.

Master Lingzhi, Fu Xu, smiled and said: "Your fate has been guessed by the master. Are you here to clear up the doubts in your mind?" Dakui nodded and said, "I hope Master will teach me." Master Lingzhi said: "

When you came from the north of the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River, you were already famous all over the world. The King of Wu will not miss you when recruiting talents. If you are not used by him, the King of Wu will kill you."

Master Lingzhi paused and then said: "My teacher asked you to come down the mountain, firstly, to give you experience, and secondly, to give you this opportunity. With a poor body, you can see through all kinds of things in the world and care about the people. Only with this official position can you

Do your best to benefit the people."

Dakui nodded and said: "What Master said is absolutely true." But he asked in a flash: "Master, I have something that I don't understand. I disguised myself and went to Shunyuan City in Guizhou Province, where there was a locust plague. More than 100,000 people were affected.

, now people are dying of hunger all over the land and it is unspeakable misery. Why does King Wu ignore such a big event? What should I do, disciple?"

Master Lingzhi laughed and said: "As a teacher, I am an outsider. I don't care about the secular world. However, the monks are compassionate and can't bear to lose their lives. King Wu has taken all the places in the south of the Yangtze River and currently has millions of troops stationed. Youdao is not yet ready for war.

You must move food and grass first, and in order to launch the Northern Expedition, you must exhaust all the forces in the south of the Yangtze River for backup. You cannot bear to see the people suffer, so you must collect food from the rich lands in the south of the Yangtze River. This will be the opposite of the king of Wu."

Dakui nodded and asked: "Master, please give me some guidance on the Buddhist scriptures." The wise master said: "To be a king is to be the first in the country. You are an official. You must have a direction in your heart. Are you an official for the people or for the king?

?" Dakui didn't think anything of him and said: "Dakui serves as an official for the people."

The wise master said: "Well, I estimate that Shunyuan City should have enough food, but it cannot support more than 100,000 people. Therefore, King Wu will place a chess piece in Shunyuan City. Once the civil uprising only needs

If you remove the chess pieces and open the warehouses to store food, the civil unrest will be eliminated. This is a delaying strategy, it depends on how long the people can endure."

Dakui suddenly realized that he wanted to ask again. Master Lingzhi raised his hand to interrupt Dakui and said: "From now on, you should think more about everything yourself. Master Yang Shou will never answer your questions one by one. Remember what you said today, what are you doing?

The common people are officials. You go ahead..." After saying that, Master Lingzhi closed his eyes and fell into concentration, ignoring Da Kui no more.

When Da Kui heard what Master said, he felt extremely sad. His eyes filled with tears, he solemnly kowtowed to Master three times, stood up and walked out of the room.

It was already dusk in the autumn wind. Da Kui walked out of his master's courtyard and went to his bedroom. He took the purple gold animal mask and the leather bag, wrapped them in cloth and carried them in his hands. He also picked up the black iron gun behind the door and went out to the guest room.

Yang Xiaohu was talking to Huiqing and stood up when he saw Dakui coming in.

Dakui said: "I have something important to do. Where is Hongyun?" Huiqing said: "Hongyun is in the stable in the side courtyard. After you left, my master specially built a stable for Hongyun." Dakui asked: "Why didn't I?

I saw the four senior brothers, where have they gone?" Huiqing said: "They were ordered by the master to take their apprentices down the mountain to travel. Now the master and I are the only ones on the mountain."

Dakui couldn't help but think that his master had calculated that his life was about to end, so he deliberately dismissed his disciples.
