Chapter Thirty-Eight: Wise People Don't Speak Secret Words

Liu Yuqi carefully put on his five-grade official uniform, and sat on the mansion in Ningxia Town from the time the sun came out.

There are no officials, no scribes, no officials, only Liu Yuqi, the prefect of the Ming Dynasty's five-grade main hall.

He had been sitting here since the morning and waiting for the thieves to come looking for him, and no one came until sunset.

When you die, you generally don't feel hungry, and you can't wait for someone to kill you, which becomes a serious humiliation, so Liu Yuqi came to the door of the government and yelled at the empty street: "Liu Yuqi, the governor of Ningxia Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, is here, and the thief hasn't reported his name quickly!" ”

He shouted three times in a row, but no one answered, which made Liu Yuqi's grief and indignation accumulate beyond measure, resisting the urge to die on the stone lion, shrunk his hands in his sleeves with clenched fists, and returned to the back hall of the mansion step by step.

Obviously, he was the only one in the palace, but the bedroom in the back house was shining.

Liu Yuqi snorted coldly, kicked open the door, and pointed to the people in the house: "Dog thief...... Why haven't you left yet? ”

The moment he saw his wife, his anger immediately turned into anxiety, and he rushed to his wife's side and grabbed her arm and said hurriedly: "Hurry up, go quickly." ”

His wife, Liu Tang, said in tears: "Master, let the concubine accompany you." ”

Liu Yuqi's nose was sour, and tears flowed down, and he said to his wife: "I am the local prefect, I have the responsibility to defend the land, and it is my duty to repay the emperor's favor when I die, how can you die, there are white-haired parents in my hometown, and there are young sons under my knees who are not minors, which are inseparable from you." ”

Liu Tang raised his head and looked at her husband and chuckled: "Third Sister Du is more insightful than the concubine, she is the one who supports all these things, she leaves with the children, the concubine is useless to accompany the master, oh, when leaving, the concubine has already straightened the third sister Du, and when we die, she is the lord's wife, she is ladylike, and she entrusts her parents and children to her, and the concubine is very relieved." ”

Liu Yuqi sighed and said: "Nonsense, Third Sister Du is from a humble background, how can she become a wife?" ”

Liu Tang frowned and said, "So far, why can't the master let go of these little things?" ”

Liu Yuqi said: "Third Sister Du was bought by you to stuff me on my bed while I was drunk......

Liu Tang said angrily: "Then you didn't let it go!" ”

Liu Yuqi wanted to quarrel with his wife, but suddenly remembered the current situation and sighed: "You are originally a stuffy gourd character, you will still be shy when you see me after marrying you for more than ten days, and arguing with you is one of the few pleasures I have."

Now, I don't have the mind. ”

After that, he took his wife and sat at the table, looked at a fish and a plate of celery on the table, touched his belly and said, "I don't feel hungry when I don't see food, but I can't be hungry when I see food." ”

After that, he lifted the chopsticks and began to eat fish, Liu Tang took out a pot of wine from the basket with a smile and poured a glass for her husband.

"Heh, and wine!"

Liu Yuqi's eyes lit up, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, stuffed another pair of chopsticks into his wife's hand and said, "Then eat it happily, and when you get to Huangquan Road, you can walk with strength." ”

Feeling that they were about to die, Liu Yuqi and his wife simply put aside all their worries, concentrated on eating, drinking, laughing, and living happily.

When it was time for the second watch, no one had come to kill them, and Liu Yuqi, who felt that he had earned it, simply picked up his wife and went to bed......

One night, countless tenderness.

At dawn, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, got up and washed, and ate a little bit of last night's leftovers, Liu Yuqi took his wife to the Ningxia Mansion Hall again, this time, he gave up half of the seats for his wife to sit on......

There were people on the street, the hall of the government office was facing the street, and the gate was open, Liu Yuqi could see it clearly, and the people outside the government office naturally saw the appearance of their husband and wife clearly.

Slowly more people appeared on the street, Ningxia Town seemed to have come out of the horror of more than a month, Liu Yuqi even saw that the old man who was setting up a stall selling mutton soup at the entrance of the government actually appeared, and there seemed to be diners on the humble stall.

The husband and wife looked at each other!

Suddenly, Liu Tang found himself almost snuggled in her husband's arms, and this scene seemed to be clearly seen by the people on the street, and a strong sense of shame suddenly spread all over her body, and she jumped off her seat with a scream and hurried to the back hall.

Liu Yuqi is also a little angry, he thinks that he is a moral gentleman, and now the affairs of the inner house are actually exposed to the public, how will he deal with himself in the future?

"There's no after."

Later, as soon as this thought arose, he was strangled to death by Liu Yuqi himself, because a noise came out of the outside of the mansion.

It's time to come after all.

The shy Liu Tang also heard the movement, and reappeared in the lobby with the same idea as her husband, and for the first time in her life, she took the initiative to hold her husband's hand, but with the other hand, she held a disassembled scissors in the palm of her hand.

First, a young man with messy hair probed his brain and glanced into the lobby, and saw that Liu Yuqi and his wife were glaring at him angrily, so he quickly retracted his head.

After a while, the young man came to the lobby timidly, habitually knelt in front of Liu Yuqi and said, "The little one is here to change the furniture here." ”

Liu Yuqi snorted contemptuously and said, "No one can change the official's seat!" ”

The young man cautiously pointed to the tattered furniture in the lobby and said, "Change those." ”

Liu Yuqi closed his eyes and ignored it.

The young man thought that the official had agreed, so he ran out of the mansion, and after a while, he came back to the hall with a large group of people, who also bowed to Liu Yuqi after entering, and then ...... Start cleaning.

These people worked very diligently, and after a while, they cleaned up the already dilapidated hall of the government office, and all the furniture in the hall was replaced with new furniture, even the dusty and worn curtains on the hall of the government were replaced, the windows full of holes were re-pasted with good translucent paper, and some paper-cut decals for officials were also framed neatly.

Liu Yuqi even heard that there seemed to be people replacing broken tiles on the roof.

More people poured into the mansion, and Liu Yuqi was powerless to stop it, so he could only keep his fart with his wife. Strand underneath this chair!

This guard is four days!

A lot of things happened in these four days, and the Ningxia Mansion also had earth-shaking changes.

The dilapidated mansion has been renovated, the whole mansion is filled with the smell of fresh paint, and the garden, which has been ignored for a long time, is also neatly tended by the gardener.

Liu Yuqi and his wife stood on the government office, not in a good mood.

People are repairing the government and preparing to give the new prefect a good environment, and he, the prefect of Ningxia Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, has not been dismissed, and it has become an unbearable past.

Liu Yuqi even thought that the only reason why these people kept him alive until now might be to sacrifice him to the flag.

On the first day, the small kitchen in the government office was full of rice, bacon, preserved fish, green vegetables and other foods.

The next day, a group of apparently well-read people began to sort out the albums of the household department and the various documents in the six departments of the government.

On the third day, a team of fierce officials appeared in the palace.

On the fourth day, a group of scribes appeared at the palace, and they skillfully entered the various ministries.

On the fifth day, a young man in Tsing Yi who hung down a lock of hair to cover his left ear walked into the mansion, bowed to Liu Yuqi and said, "Duan Guoren, the chief of Ningxia Town, has seen Mingzun. ”

These four days are as long as a lifetime for Liu Yuqi, he squeezed his wife's hand and said indifferently to Duan Guoren: "My fart. The seat under the stock is given by the son of tomorrow, and if you want to take it, even my life will be taken away. ”

Duan Guoren said in surprise: "Where is the Fuzun, this is still my great tomorrow, and the humble position is also my Ming small official, I haven't heard that the imperial court has a will to replace the prefect of Ningxia Mansion, you are naturally still the prefect of Ningxia Mansion, I think, the big seal held by Mingzun is enough to prove it." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Liu Yuqi's impassioned words were blocked in his throat, and a mouthful of saliva suddenly appeared, choking him to cough again and again.

"What about the thieves who ravaged my Ningxia Town?"

Duan Guoren said with a smile: "This time the thieves are powerful, it is a giant who has shot and collapsed in Qingyang Mansion, fortunately, the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division ordered the transfer of 10,000 soldiers from Lantian County, and in just one month, the thieves have been pacified."

The Mansion should go up to His Majesty, reward those who are loyal to their duties, punish those who escape from the battle, and reorganize the prestige of our Ningxia Mansion, so that the righteous will not be cold, and the thieves will be severely punished by the law. ”

Liu Yuqi smiled, pointed at Duan Guoren and said, "Do you think that this official is the one who recognizes the thief as his father?" ”

Duan Guoren said with a smile: "The bones of the person who recognized the thief as his father have long since rotted at this time, and only the iron-clad ones are still high above the temple and are admired by everyone. ”

Liu Yuqi said: "I am a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and I am guarding the Ningxia Mansion for the Holy Son of Heaven, not for others." ”

Duan Guoren frowned and said, "So, where did the Fuzun put the people of Ningxia Mansion?" ”

Liu Yuqi sneered and said: "This official loves the people like a son, and in this Ningxia Mansion for nine months, except for the inability to drive away thieves, there is no ulterior. ”

Duan Guoren laughed and said, "The Mansion should go out of the Mansion to take a walk and see what the Ningxia Mansion that was rampant with thieves in the past looks like now!" ”

"What have you all done?" Liu Yuqi smelled a strong smell of blood from Duan Guoren's words.

"More than 14,700 thieves were killed, and from then on, there were no more thieves in Ningxia Mansion, and Fuzun could just show his strengths."

"I'm the prefect, what do you do?"

"My hearing is not good, for the official indecent, therefore, a certain family for the government to respect the vice-second, government affairs naturally to the government respect, I only hope that the government can cooperate with these new officials, quickly improve the livelihood of the people in Ningxia Prefecture, so that this rich land known as the south of the Yangtze River can be revitalized as soon as possible.

The rest, and nothing to ask for. ”

Liu Yuqi stood up and looked at Duan Guoren and said, "Who are you?" ”

Duan Guoren said with some sadness: "Mingren, a Mingren who was exchanged for forty catties of millet by his father and mother, and a Mingren who doesn't want such a tragedy to happen to other children again." ”
