There were more than ten officials lying outside the official office. The junior officials worked in pairs and were punishing the officials.
Menzi stood inside the gate and watched the excitement, looking gloating. When he saw someone coming in and out, he pretended to be heartbroken.
After the others left, Menzi carefully took a sip and felt so happy.
"Well played!"
The new governor, He Lianrong, had not made much noise since he took office, so that everyone thought that this close associate of the emperor was just here to get gold.
Unexpectedly, He Lianrong suddenly revealed the evidence of the crimes of these ten officials today, and immediately beat them severely.
General Xiao Manyan, whom He Lianrong brought from Ningxing, arrived.
Menzi held his head high, worried about being scolded.
But those in power don't care about a small person's complaints or taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
Entering the check-in room, He Lianrong, who was in his forties, was reading paperwork.
"Your Majesty."
The Northern Liao Dynasty retained some nomadic traditions. As time went by and under the influence of various cultures in the Central Plains, those traditions gradually became beyond recognition.
For example, official positions and titles were mostly borrowed from the official system of the Tang Dynasty.
He Lianrong raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Have they ever taken action?"
Xiao Manyan said: "After receiving the order, the three major departments assembled the elite rangers and have already set off."
"When I first come here, some people may find it difficult to understand, and some may cause trouble, but I don't care. However, if anyone violates the rules, I will never forgive him lightly."
"My Majesty, I will kill the chicken today to scare the monkeys. If I come to Tanzhou, the officialdom will be shocked."
"I came here first to rectify Tanzhou's officialdom... Most of the people left behind by the Emperor's uncle have both political integrity and talent. However, when the Emperor's uncle went to Ningxing, many people became corrupt..."
This, it's over! Xiao Manyan's heart froze, and just when he was about to make some suggestions, He Lianrong coughed dryly, "However, most officials are good. It can be seen that the emperor's methods are superb, and I admire him endlessly!"
"Yes! When Xianguan came to Tanzhou, you can see the kindness left by the Emperor Taishu everywhere. Oh! It makes people fascinated."
After finishing the flattery, He Lianrong said: "Before leaving, the Emperor's uncle called me and talked about the three major issues: greed and ambition. Therefore, we must use deterrence first, supplemented by appeasement measures."
Combining soft and hard, first hard and then soft, this is the emperor's instructions.
"Chenzhou Yang Xuan is young, but he should not be underestimated. The emperor's uncle said that this man is flexible in wrists but decisive in killing, so he should not underestimate the enemy." He Lianrong praised: "The emperor's uncle is far-sighted!"
That night, the prince's words had already spread a lot, and the news that the emperor had lost his life spread throughout Ningxing City.
At first, some people refuted the rumors, but after the news came that He Lianchun was canonized as the emperor's uncle, the refutation of the rumors became a reality.
This is the proper next emperor, everyone respects him.
"In the past, the Emperor's uncle was kind, so he was mostly gentle towards Chenzhou. When I took over, it was naturally different from the past. Harassing and disrupting spring plowing was just a test. By the way, can we talk?"
"This is just a trial, see how Yang Xuan responds, and then take action." He Lianrong said calmly: "The three major departments attack together, I want to see how Yang Xuan can respond."
"Considering one thing and losing sight of the other, I thought it was time for Tanzhou to prepare for an attack." Xiao Manyan said.
"Don't worry, I have just arrived. There are many opportunities to see Yang Xuan's abilities first... I want to see if this so-called famous general, if not for the kindness of the emperor's uncle, would have been slapped to death long ago.
Got it!"
He Lianchun's self-respect for raising bandits in Chenzhou is not news, but old news. So He Lianrong felt that it was the emperor's appeasement policy at that time that made Yang Xuan famous.
There were no heroes at that time, so Zhuzi became famous.
This is what He Lianrong is thinking at the moment.
He is a close official of the emperor, and he came to Tanzhou to do big things!
"Once he reveals his flaws, I will personally lead an army to attack and march across Chenzhou!"
Xiao Manyan said: "I guess it will take a while for Yang Xuan to return, but our people are almost here."
"I heard that his wife is in Lin'an."
"right."
"Ever heard of the pain of losing a wife?"
…
"Second brother, is Chang'an fun?"
"You haven't been there?"
The sideshow stalls were closed, and Liang Huahua and Wang Laoer were walking around the city.
"I've been there before, but I was too timid at the time to look at it."
Qian said that men like delicate women, so don't be aggressive, or be careful that your second brother doesn't like you!
Liang Huahua felt that her second brother was not that kind of person, but she subconsciously followed Qian's instructions.
"Chang'an is fun, I'll take you there next time!"
“Keep your word!”
"I don't tell lies."
Liang Huahua looked at him, "Second brother, what did you do before?"
"beggar."
"Me too!"
"Yeah?"
"yes!"
Qian said that if you find the same topic as your second brother, he will be very talkative and will find you friendly...
So, how will the second brother express his kindness?
Liang Huahua is full of expectations.
Wang Laoer was indeed very happy.
asked:
"Have you ever been bitten by a dog?"
…
On the other side, the old thief who heard this sighed, "Why do you ask this? At least you should say something that girls like, for example, I will support you from now on, and I will love you from now on!"
Tu Shang sneered: "Young man, you are not lying."
"But do you like such a woman?"
"Look!"
The two of them looked at each other.
"Yes! More than once!"
Liang Huahua's eyes lit up, "I ran and ran! I ran all the way to the back alley, then turned around and killed the dog..."
"You eat dog meat?"
"How do you know?"
"I've eaten it too, and even beggars have eaten it. They say it's fragrant meat."
"yes!"
Tu Shang glanced at the old thief and said, "From now on, you can teach me how to please girls."
"Why?" The old thief was not convinced!
"You haven't even held a woman's hand, just talk on paper."
…
Liang Huahua returned to her residence.
Qian and others waited eagerly for her.
"how?"
Liang Huahua said: "He is so honest."
"Honest! Honest men have no ability." Qian shook his head.
"Why?" Zhao De felt offended.
"Only when men have no ability will they choose to respond with sincerity." Qian's expression was gloomy, obviously thinking of something.
Zhao De coughed dryly, "Well... Huahua, does second brother like you?"
"I like it!"
The three of them were overjoyed, and Qian asked, "Why does he like you?"
"He invited me!"
"Hey! I can't put it down!" Huang Er was a little envious, but not hateful, because he knew that he and Wang Laoer were not of the same class.
Snap!
Zhao De slapped him on the back of the head and scolded: "What does it mean to be unable to let go? This is called admiration!"
Qian asked: "What did he invite you to do?"
"Yes!" Zhao De's eyes lit up.
"He invited me to go dog hunting."
…
Reunited after a long absence, there is a sense of strangeness between the couple, which makes the subsequent intimate intercourse a little more exciting and raw.
“I must sow this time!”
Yang Xuanxin said firmly.
Zhou Ning lay in his arms and looked at him sideways, "Zitai wants to do Aye?"
"Well!" Yang Xuan said: "When I went back this time, my father-in-law scolded me and said that he couldn't wait to be a grandfather. He also said that after I got married to you, we would spend more time together and stay apart less. If this continues, when will he be able to do it?
Hold your grandson?"
Zhou Ning gasped slightly, "Aye has grandchildren at home."
"A grandson is a grandson, and a grandson is a grandson, Aning."
"Um!"
"How about... try harder?"
"Don't move!"
"I didn't move, just..."
"I got a needle!"
"ah!"
"Tell you not to move!"
"What kind of needle did you get?" Looking at the silver needle on his body, Yang Xuan didn't dare to move.
Zhou Ning sat up slowly.
"Husband, you have traveled a long distance, so don't indulge, otherwise it will cause many problems. This injection is called Dinghun, which can purify the mind and reduce desires."
"No wonder I feel so cold. Hey! An Ning, will this stop a man from having that thought?"
"There are people who don't have thoughts, but not here, a little further down." Zhou Ning's hand went down.
"Don't!"
Yang Xuan's face turned pale, and Zhou Ning chuckled, "It's hard to find the acupuncture points, and it's hard to determine the depth, so what are you worried about?"
"Quickly pull it out and go to sleep."
Zhou Ning pulled out the silver needle and the couple lay down.
"Aning, that He Lianhong was originally He Lianchun's niece and the female steward around her."
"Well! You said it last time."
"This person knows a lot about the three major ministries, and is very knowledgeable about Tanzhou affairs. So I kept her here for consultation."
"These are official matters, you don't need to say anything."
"Husband and wife are one, I have to make it clear to you, lest you have any thoughts in your heart and become separated as time goes by."
Zhou Ning said nothing.
Yang Xuan gradually became confused.
Snoring slightly.
In the darkness, Zhou Ning looked at his face, "Actually, I'm very happy if you explain it to me!"
Only if you care can you explain.
The so-called carelessness is not about personality, but about not caring!
Zhou Ning quietly held his wrist and began to diagnose his pulse.
"After running all the way, I felt a little weak and a little bit cold. I must have relied on my cultivation to ride the horse against the wind, and the wind and cold entered my body... It is more difficult to dispel the cold due to my cultivation."
Zhou Ning put on her clothes and stood up quietly.
She opened the door gently and closed it behind her back.
She didn't wake up the maid and went to the study by herself.
After lighting a candle, Zhou Ning found more than ten medical books and piled them on the table to look for the pulse chart.
She was rummaging around and taking notes, pausing to think from time to time.
The night is getting darker.
There were people on duty at the state house in front, wandering back and forth.
Several dark figures appeared behind, where the governor lived.
The night wind was so strong that it hurt people's faces.
A dark figure pointed at the wall and nodded.
One person jumped lightly and lay down on the wall, turning his eyes to the left and right.
No movement!
The black shadow made a backhand move.
Several black shadows flew past the wall. They were wearing tights, with their cuffs and trouser legs tied tightly, so they made no sound as they flew past.
In the front yard lived guards and servants.
The dark shadows walked silently between the two rows of houses.
Some people chirp in their sleep, others grind their teeth, and some fart...
There was a lot of movement, which just covered their sneaking.
In the room that the shadows couldn't see, at least dozens of big men opened their eyes.
The shadows moved towards the backyard.
Someone stopped and pointed to the lighted room.
The leading shadow nodded, and a shadow quietly touched over.
He arrived at the study window and quietly looked sideways.
Zhou Ning held his chin in one hand and held a medical book in the other, frowning slightly.
The black shadow turned around and waved.
Several dark figures quietly came over.
The leader took a look.
"What should we do with this kind of pulse condition? Make up for the deficiency. However, Zitai's cultivation is getting more and more advanced. If he accidentally stirs up his inner breath, it will be hard to end. If he doesn't make up for it, then..."
Zhou Ning was a little worried.
If it were any other patient, she would treat them according to her own understanding.
But this is my husband!
Zhou Ning, who has a decisive temperament, is also rarely indecisive.
The shadow leader outside pointed inside, stretched out his hand and pulled under his neck.
Yang Xuan is back, adding many unknown risks and difficulties to their actions.
However, as He Lianrong's new official took office, this operation can only succeed and cannot fail.
Unexpectedly, I met Zhou Ning alone in the study.
Isn't this just a pillow for you when you feel sleepy?
Take action quickly and then run away.
Great job!
Inside, Zhou Ning rubbed his eyebrows and said softly:
"It's late at night, don't make any noise, husband!"
What's the meaning?
The shadow leader has grabbed the window.
Hearing this, he opened the window suddenly, and a black figure rushed in.
"Take orders!"
A man's voice came from behind.
The shadows turned around.
More than ten burly men were standing not far away.
"Kill her!"
The leader shouted lowly, and then rushed over to buy time for the black shadow inside to take action.
Boom!
With one punch, the leader heard the sound of his arm being broken, and then slapped him and knocked him out.
Isn't it said that the most powerful guards around Yang Gou are two old men and a young man? But these big men seem to be even more powerful!
Before he fainted, these doubts were swirling in the leader's mind.
The last thought is: the men inside will definitely be able to kill Yang Gou's wife. In this way, the trip will be considered complete.
The black shadow raised the long knife and waved it with a ferocious smile.
Zhou Ning held his chin with one hand, released his right hand, let the book fall on the desk, and patted it with his right hand.
Boom!
Heiying felt his wrist shake, and the long knife fell.
"What should I take?"
Zhou Ning picked up the inkstone and took a picture of it.
Heiying's forehead was swollen. Before he fell, he saw Yang Gou's wife looking at the intact inkstone in her hand and said happily: "When Chen Guo built the palace, every brick was engraved with the name of the craftsman.
The craftsmen were killed. After thousands of years, these bricks are still strong. I didn’t expect that the same would be true if they were made into inkstones..."
I was knocked unconscious by a brick from Chen Guo!
in addition!
Yang Gou’s wife turned out to be a good player!
This information was omitted, Eagle Guard deserves death!
…
Have a good night's sleep.
When he woke up in the early morning, Yang Xuan put his arms around Zhou Ning and groaned: "I don't want to move anymore."
"Then just sleep a little longer." Zhou Ning said.
"If you don't excuse me, Yi Niang will be here soon." Yang Xuan felt a little pain in his head. He sat up and scratched his head, "Aning, I bought you a lot of things. You can take stock of them today."
"I know." Zhou Ning said with a smile: "Yan Xiao took a look yesterday and said there is a lot of makeup!"
"Well! My father-in-law belongs to my father-in-law, and what I give is what I give!"
What an arrogant man!
Zhou Ning covered her mouth and snickered.
In the front yard, Zhang Xu was sitting in the woodshed, with four men covered in bruises kneeling in front of him.
"Still unwilling to say?" A horned dragon guard was holding a leather whip.
The leader said coldly: "Let's do it! Anyone who begs for mercy is a beast!"
"Here comes Mr. Lang!"
The door opened and Yang Xuan walked in.
"Rare visitor!" He smiled.
Zhang Xu stood up and said respectfully: "These four people are tight-lipped. They were tortured all night and still refused to speak."
"Lang Jun." Wu Da said from outside: "The scouts discovered the three major groups of rangers!"
Yang Xuan turned around and went out, "Since you won't speak, don't keep it, lest the screams frighten Aning. Throw it outside the city and erect a pole!"
Zhang Xu saw the expressions of the four prisoners change dramatically.
