readx;??? In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of Obon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only Langqi, but also in the entire Nanhai County, this is a big festival that is very valued.

In the days leading up to the festival, you can see all kinds of incense, incense candles, paper money, lotus lanterns, gold leaf paper, colorful paper flowers, firecrackers and other items for sale all over the city.

On the day of Obon, every household has to worship their ancestors, go to the grave, burn a large pile of paper money at the door, insert incense candles and a lot of incense, in order to worship the deceased ancestors and relatives, as well as give alms to those lonely souls and wild ghosts who have nowhere to go, which is called accumulating yin virtue.

In the evening, we should go to the river to light a lotus lantern, a blooming pink or white bloom like a handful of lotus flowers, the stamen is made into a small platform with green paper paste, light a small candle, put it into the river, watch it flutter away, carry thousands of ghosts to find the way home.

At that time, countless people flock to the river, thousands of lotus lamps are put into the water, go with the waves, the river is just as bright as the stars, dazzling, spectacular.

However, on such a special day, the air is filled with the thick smell of paper money burned to ashes and the smell of smoky incense, mixed with the faint cry that rises from nowhere, but people cannot appreciate this spectacular scene as a spectacle, but has a feeling of ghostly buildings.

Even Fangzhou was pregnant and should not be involved in these things, so he didn't go out for a few days.

Of course, the little money housekeeper also presided over the matter, directing his family to burn paper money, planting incense, etc. at the door of the mansion, and also sent people to the river to light lotus lanterns.

Li Fu rode to Langqi early in the morning on the first day of the Obon Festival, Luo Guang was still responsible for the safety of Lian Fangzhou and Xu'er, it was impossible to leave, Xiao Mu and others had their own tasks, Li Fu took the politicians and ordered twelve personal soldiers to go together.

More than a dozen people were big men, galloping all the way, and entered Langqi Prefecture before the sun set in the afternoon.

Zhao Zhizhou, who was in charge of Langqi Prefecture, led people to greet him at the gate of the city, and after a greeting, everyone laughed and entered the house together.

The guest room behind the Zhizhou Yamen had already been prepared, and Li Fu and his party occupied a small courtyard, and the servants were ready-made.

Zhao Zhizhou led Li Fu into the courtyard, came to the hall, took the tea on the maid's tray and personally served it to Li Fu, and said with a smile: "Today, the adults must have worked hard to get on the road, so please rest early, and the lower officials will not disturb the adults, the lower officials have already ordered them to go down, and the kitchen will send food over for their own use during dinner!" Make adults feel more comfortable, too! Tomorrow night, more than 20 tribes and tribal leaders will be feasted, and they will have to rely on the majesty of adults! Alas, Xia Guan is really incompetent, and he really has no temper after spending all these years here! ”

After a while, Li Fu had a little good impression of this Zhao Zhizhou, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job, Langqi Prefecture is different from other places, the composition of the people is complex, and it is good that it has not caused a big disaster or a big mess!" If you want to come here for a while, you're tired enough for tomorrow's business, okay, I don't need to keep you here, go back! You can feel more comfortable going back! ”

Zhao Zhizhou was stunned, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Yes, the lower official will retire first." Zhao Zhizhou smiled and bowed, took a few steps back, and turned around and left when he reached the door.

Master Zhan, who participated in politics, stepped forward unconsciously and smiled: "This Zhao Zhizhou has always been a wonderful person who is good at communicating, do you think it's okay?" ”

Li Fu nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, he is a wonderful person!" ”

Master Zhan also laughed.

Li Fu groaned slightly, and then said: "In this place, you have to have a long-sleeved person like him who is good at dancing to eat." Let's talk to him tomorrow, and tomorrow night's dinner will depend on what he wants, and we'll do whatever he needs us to do. It's always not good to put an official authority and resentment with life, when the time comes, it will be easy for us to leave, Zhao Zhizhou may not know how many crimes he will suffer! Langqi State...... There are only a lot of places like this in the entire Nanhai County, and when the affairs of the four major families are solved, the entire Nanhai County is generally stable, and then we will slowly solve these local problems! ”

Lord Zhan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he was in awe, and bowed his hand to Lian Fangzhou: "Your Excellency is wise! Willing to follow the Lord! ”

Li Fu glanced at him, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not to say that there is nothing to follow or not, this official is a political envoy for one day, and it is indispensable to take on one day!" ”

After gossiping for a while, Lord Zhan didn't dare to delay Li Fu's rest, and secondly, he tossed enough on horseback for such a day, so he said goodbye and went to rest.

A maid called hot water for a short time, Li Fu washed his face, and then went into the second room to rest on the couch.

It was getting dark, and Steward Zhao, the housekeeper of Zhao Zhizhou's house, led the kitchen to bring wine and food to Li Fu and his party, and was courteous and polite with Xiaoxiao.

Li Fu was not particular about these, and he was not picky, so he ordered someone to take a reward and send them away. Don't mention having dinner with Master Zhan here.

The twelve pro-soldiers also opened a table in the side hall in front of them, which was much more lively than their side.

Those people knew Li Fu's temperament very well, and they didn't go here to serve, and the twelve of them were lively for their own use.

After dinner, Li Fu and Master Zhan discussed tomorrow's affairs for a while, and then went back to the house separately to rest.

Master Zhan was tired and sore and fell asleep, and soon fell asleep.

However, this one-day gallop was nothing to Li Fu, and he was still in good spirits, pondering under the lamp whether there was any omission in the various arrangements for dealing with the Liang family in Nanhai City.

Until late at night, seeing that the hour was not early, he was ready to go to bed.

However, at this moment, there was a rapid knock at the door, and a person called in a low voice: "My lord! My lord! Did you sleep......"

Listening to the voice, it is the pro-Wei Mingjia.

"Come in and talk." Li Fu raised his eyebrows, and his voice was low.

If there is no important matter, Ming Jia will not come to him at this time, but if there is something important, what can it be?

"Yes, my lord......" The door was gently pushed open, but it was not Mingjia who came in, but also six or seven people such as Wei Feng, Liu Er, Liu Shu, etc., Liu Er and Wei Feng were also colored, one person's face was broken, the skin was red, swollen and purple, one person's left arm was thickly wrapped in gauze, and the other three or four people were also slightly injured.

Except for the few who came in, the rest of the people were all under the porch.

It seems that none of the twelve people will pull!

Li Fu couldn't help but be furious, his face sank, and he said coldly: "What's the matter? How many of you went out to make trouble? ”

His eyes lit up, and he swept coldly, and Li Fu said coldly: "I have lost all the face of this official!" Who gave you permission to go out and cause trouble? ”
