Chapter 42 Soldiers approaching the city
Ye Xiaotian and his party returned to the county government office. When Hua Qingfeng saw that he had indeed rescued County Chief Xu, he was overjoyed. He first praised Ye Xiaotian for a few words, then comforted Xu Boyi with kind words, and then ordered someone to take him down to take a shower and change his clothes...
Xu Boyi changed his clothes and returned to the second hall. He immediately asked the magistrate Hua to retreat, saying that there was something important to discuss. As soon as everyone left, Xu Boyi said to Hua Qingfeng angrily: "Mr. County Master, how did you plan for that day? Why did you change your mind after just a few days of work and relocate Ye Xiaotian's close friends and confidants back?"
Seeing that he was rude and was displeased, Magistrate Hua thought to himself: "If it weren't for your incompetence, would I agree to his conditions?"
Hua Magistrate Furan said, "Mr. Xu, can this be blamed on this county? If you hadn't volunteered to go to the mountains to mediate, but were locked up by the barbarians in the mountains, how could this county accept his Ye Xiaotian's city alliance?"
Xu Boyi said: "Sir! You are a county parent, the supreme master of a hundred miles. If you ask him to go up the mountain, he dares not go? As long as he goes, he will return to failure to lose his fortune, or be taken by the people from Lijiazhai, will he not do his best?"
County Magistrate Hua sneered slightly, "Mr. Xu, it seems that you don't know enough about Ye Xiaotian? If the county does not meet his conditions, he will really dare not to resist! This person cannot be steamed, cannot be cooked thoroughly, cannot be cut open, and cannot be chewed. A real piece of hob meat is an alien in the officialdom."
Xu Boyi couldn't help but speak in a while. Thinking about it carefully, what Hua Magistrate said was true. Xu Boyi sat down on the chair in a deflated manner and said, "Mr. County Master, the adjustments made just now have been adjusted in two days. This..., the official has returned. Why not let the official come forward and make adjustments again? "
Hua Qingfeng was startled and stopped him tightly and said, "No, Ye Xiaotian is a donkey. Once he goes crazy, the county doesn't know what he will do. Besides, canceling the adjustment is an order just issued by the county. How can he convince the public if he changes his orders every day?"
Xu Boyi said angrily: "Sir, I want to convince the public, what about the officials?"
Hua Qingfeng smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are there! Lord Xu, at this time, you must endure humiliation and be solemn and respectful, and be self-reliant! An official is the best. Perseverance is the best. When you should endure, you must endure it. Look at Goujian, sleeping on firewood and tasting gall..."
Xu Boyi said impatiently: "Before the Xiaguan took office, he heard that there were only two ways for officials to be an official, either being trampled or going to trampled on others. This is the first time that the Xiaguan heard about this perseverance."
Hua Qingfeng has a good temper and said in a straightforward manner: "But what should you do if you don't have the ability to step on people and can only be stepped on?"
Xu Boyi: "Hmm?"
Hua Qingfeng said: "At this time, are you being stepped on by trespassing, or are you being stepped on by willingly, or are you pretending to be stepped on by willingly?"
Xu Boyi was ridiculous and sarcastic. Do you want me to be a turtle like him? Hua Qingfeng was selling Xu Boyi his way of being an official - the divine turtle perseverance. Suddenly, a yamen runner hurriedly without waiting for the notification.
When the man saw Hua Qingfeng, he didn't care about salute, so he shouted angrily: "Big...Big...Master...Master, big things are not good! Thousands of people rushed to Hu County in a fierce manner. The city...the city guard has abandoned the door and fled..."
Xu Boyi stood up and said in shock: "Is it from Gaojiazhai or Lijiazhai?"
The yamen runner looked like a slight look and said, "The villain doesn't know, in short... there are many people, many people, at least tens of thousands..."
Hua Qingfeng was shocked and said, "How did Ye Xiaotian negotiate with them? These foreign barbarians must have been rioting. Hurry up! Let's go! Escape to Huguang immediately! Come on, come on, come on, go and tell the lady to clean up the details..."
Ye Xiaotian stepped into the second hall with a smile and bowed, "Ah, the county magistrate, the county magistrate..."
The two adults, the county magistrate, jumped to him, and each grabbed his arm one by one. Hua Qing said in a very devastating manner: "How did you, a bastard, negotiate with Gaoli villages, and why did they send troops to attack the county town?"
Xu Boyi said: "Ye Xiaotian, don't leave! You have caused a great disaster. This time you will never be able to escape any connection. If you go to Guiyang with us, I will write to the court to spy you. If you don't kill you, it will not be enough to calm the public's anger..."
Ye Xiaotian blinked and said strangely: "Two sirs, you didn't take the wrong medicine, are you? The young masters of Gaoli villages are still sitting in front of them drinking tea. Where did the mob attack the county town?"
Hua Qingfeng said furiously: "You still have to argue? If you can't tell me about the lotus, you can't even think that this county will be fooled. Those mobs are already at the city and are about to enter the city. You still say nothing is wrong?"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly said, "Oh! It turns out that it's this. Sir, you misunderstood. Those people were not here to attack the county town."
Hua Qingfeng was surprised and happy when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Are you sure? Then what are they here for?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "That is the migrant worker hired by the officials to build a house."
Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi looked at each other in a daze and murmured to themselves: "Who built the house?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the top of the city, Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi poked their heads out tremblingly, and saw a large group of people under the city. The city gate opened and the city gate officer had already escaped. At this moment, they were probably carrying his mother, carrying his wife, and leading his son on the mountain road to escape from Tongren.
In fact, no wonder the city guard escaped decisively. This small city is not a defense at all. He usually guards the city gates, but only maintains order and collects city taxes.
The walls of this small city are less than two meters high, and you can go up with a pole. The city gate is also a very thin layer of wooden boards that can be opened as soon as it hits. Moreover, there are no defenders in the city. Even if all inspector Luo’s soldiers are brought over, they can deal with thousands of enemies? When will he not escape?
Under the city, the Sun sister had a slender waist and tall breasts, trying her best to show her most youthful and beautiful side, and shouted loudly that the tribesmen stood still and stood in silence.
She knew that the Venerable was at the top of the city and was so nervous that she didn't dare to look back. Because she didn't dare to look back, she always felt that the Venerable was looking at her, so she was uncomfortable. She wanted to show her most beautiful and spiritual side to the Venerable, but she didn't know whether her performance was appropriate. She was inevitably a little confused.
In fact, she didn't need her order at all. All of those tribesmen were in a proper manner. Although they stood in a mess and were not in a neat line like the army, they were all silent. It was naturally because they knew that their supreme venerable was on the top of the city, but most of them didn't even know the venerable.
Ye Xiaotian stood at the top of the city and pointed at the mountain in the city. He was dancing and gestured: "Here! That's it, the man has already chosen to build a house on that hillside. That hillside is originally a homeless land, which can save the expense of buying land. The place is close to the county government office, so the officials are convenient for the officials to go to the government office every day..."
Hua Qingfeng heard him talk about the construction plan for a long time and said impatiently: "Then you don't need so many people, right? Where did you hire them? I see that they are all very fierce, and they are probably not good people."
Ye Xiaotian looked down at the city and said, "They are all seedlings from the mountains, and they look a little more ferocious. In fact, they are very simple in nature. As for the number of people... Xiaguanyuan didn't want to recruit so many people. It's enough to have a few hundred people. I guess they learned that the price given by Xiaguan was fair. So they came all in one go. But it doesn't matter. It took a year to hire a hundred people and a month to hire 10,000 people. In fact, the money spent is about the same."
Xu Boyi heard that it was not the mountain people's riot. He had settled down and said calmly: "Ye Dianshi, now that Huxian has a severe drought and grain prices have risen sharply. If you hire so many people at once, wouldn't it make the county's grain supply even more tight? Moreover, so many people entering the city will inevitably cause a lot of chaos. I think you'd better send them back."
Ye Xiaotian spread his hands and said, "Mr. Xu, you said it lightly, it is easy to ask the gods to send them away. If Xu County Magistrate has a solution, please help me send them back. Ye doesn't have this ability."
Xu Boyi had just suffered a great loss in Lijiazhai, and his forehead is still blue now. Now this group of people are seedlings in the mountains, and they are even more savage than the people in Lijiazhai. How dare he speak out and send these people out? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. These people are here to make money.
Hua Qingfeng frowned and said dryly: "Ye Dianshi, how big is the house you want to build? It costs a lot of money, right? You have just entered the officialdom and have so much money?"
Ye Xiaotian showed a slight attitude and said, "I'm not hiding it from the county master. Ye is a pauper and he doesn't have money. But there is a family in Hongfeng Lake. Hehe, I believe that the county master has also heard about my relationship with the family in Hongfeng Lake."
Xu Boyi glanced at him, smiled coldly, and said suddenly: "It is indeed rare to eat soft food so shamelessly."
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "I don't want it either, but they cried and shouted to give me money. I thought about it, and some people tried every means to curry favor with the rich lady, but unfortunately they just couldn't. I didn't act like a gesture, so I had to accept it funny."
Xu Boyi was furious after hearing this.
Hua Qingfeng thought to himself: "He wants to build a house, so he needs to make such a big fight? I'm afraid these young men have some connections with the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake. He used his father-in-law's relationship to find so many people to help. Since it was the people he found, if these people cause trouble in Huxian, he would not be able to escape, so he would definitely take strict care of these people. Since that's the case, why should I come forward to be this evil person? He has such a deep relationship with the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake and is so unavoidable that once the court knows, he can still tolerate him, hum!"
Hua Qingfeng sneered secretly and said to Ye Xiaotian: "This is your personal matter, and I am not inconvenient to care about you. But these craftsmen are hired by you, so you must strictly restrain them. If they cause any trouble, the only thing in this county is to ask."
Ye Xiaotian said: "So you should do this!"
Hua Qingfeng snorted coldly and left. Xu Boyi glared at Ye Xiaotian hatefully, and followed Hua Qingfeng away. Ye Xiaotian looked at the backs of the two and smiled faintly, then slowly turned his eyes to the distance and towards Guiyang.
Ye Xiaotian looked at the white clouds that were slowly moving in the blue sky, and deeply shouted in his heart: "Yingying, are you... okay now?"
