"The Great Ya is here! God is merciful, I am finally saved! ”

Huang Conggui's entourage, who had been waiting stupidly outside the city for a few hours, saw a horse galloping from a distance, and they were all happy together, and couldn't help but run on the ground and kowtow.

Immediately it was a barbarian boy of about twenty years old, with fair skin and a somewhat thin appearance. He was followed by two horsemen, dressed like the people on the ground, and thought to be a family servant with him.

With a gloomy face, the boy passed through the kneeling crowd without looking at it.

In the inspection village, Xu Ping walked out of the prison cell, stretched his waist, and his face was relaxed.

Zhu Zongping and Li Anren saw Gao Daquan and Huang Zonggui coming out behind Xu Ping, although Huang Zonggui's face was like earth and his body was a little trembling, but there was no injury on his body at all, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Zongping was afraid that Huang Conggui would hurt Huang Conggui and anger Huang Chengxiang, the governor of Zhongzhou, and came to him for trouble in inspecting the village. For the inspection village, the barbarian troubles are the most headache, and they lose the dignity of the court by retreating everywhere, and their attitude is tough and not in line with the policies of the court. It's really easy to let them not give an inch, but the big deal is to fight, and hundreds of barbarian soldiers really don't necessarily want to inspect his village.

Li Anren still has to do business with the Huang family in Chungju, and if he is not here, he will make the Huang family dissatisfied if he does not defend Huang Conggui. Originally, his purchase of goods in the grass market had already aroused the suspicion of the Huang family, and with this article, he might lose a large part of the interests of Zhongzhou.

Seeing Xu Ping approaching, Zhu Zong asked in parallel with a salute: "General judgment, have you asked Huang Ya what to say?" ”

"Clear. This little yanate is a good person, no matter what I ask, he answers happily and clearly. The heart is to the court, and I also know that I respect the officials of the court, which is very good! Zhu Inspector, you hold a banquet in the village, it is better to meet by chance, I will drink two cups with Xiao Yanei. ”

Hearing Xu Ping's words, Huang Conggui felt cramps in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were crooked. However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gao Daquan beside him, and he didn't dare to have anything abnormal on his face.

Zhu Zongping was overjoyed, as long as he didn't conflict with Zhongzhou, it would be a great thing for him to be caught in the middle, and he said busily: "The general judgment is right, I'll order someone to prepare!" Speaking of which, I have known Huang Yanei for a long time, and I haven't been close to each other yet! ”

Li Anren said: "The general judgment, it is not too early, if there is nothing else, the student will leave and go on the road, and he will go to see the general judgment again when he has time in the future." ”

"Don't worry, you can go back with me after drinking, and there are good things to tell you."

Where is it so easy for Xu Ping to let him go, he still has to learn about the surrounding market from him, and see if there are other ways to make money. Business is also a knowledge, and it cannot be done behind closed doors.

Just here, a soldier came over and crossed his hands to Zhu Zongping and Xu Ping: "Report to the verdict and inspection, Zhongzhou Huang Congfu called the door outside the village, let him in, please surrender to command!" ”

"Huang Congfu? Why did Chungju send such a person? ”

Xu Ping and Zhu Zongping glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Let him in and bring him over to talk!" ”

Xu Ping had a general understanding of the situation in Zhongzhou from Huang Conggui, and knew that Huang Congfu was the only son of Huang Congji, the elder brother of Huang Chengxiang, the governor of Zhongzhou, but he was not born by Ah Shen, and his mother was a handmaid of Huang Chengji. Huang Congfu's background is not very good, and he has inherited his father with a temperament, which is a little weak and does not have a high status in the Huang family.

The soldiers were ordered to go back and open the gate.

Outside the door, Huang Congfu had already dismounted and waited there respectfully.

Entering the gate of the village, a soldier led the horse, Huang Congfu followed the guide soldier to Xu Ping and a few people, he recognized the official uniform, and hurriedly saluted: "Xiaguan Zhongzhou Huang Congfu, a famous general, has seen Shangguan." ”

Xu Ping saw that his attitude was respectful and his words were polite, and he looked more smooth, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, just talk casually." It just so happens that the village is going to prepare a banquet, so you can come along. ”

The Zhengming Army will be a military attache with no rank and miscellaneous rank, and his rank is lower than Zhu Zongping's third-class borrowing, and he can barely be regarded as out of the white body and has an official name.

The Song Dynasty had a very low feud on the barbarians, saying that they were the magistrates of Zhizhou and counties, and most of the officials were small envoys, which were at the same level as Li Yonghe. The relatives and children of these barbarian chiefs can be given an official casually, and they can be regarded as sending them away.

Seeing Xu Ping turn around, Huang Congfu said: "Shangguan gave wine, and Xiaguan shouldn't have disobeyed, but when I came, Zhizhou had something important to explain, and I really didn't dare to take it!" ”

Xu Ping turned around and looked at him, and asked curiously, "What did you Huang Zhizhou tell you?" ”

Huang Congfu seemed to carefully consider the words, and after a while, he said: "Zhizhou heard that the little yaman in our state collided with the upper official, and specially ordered the lower official to make amends and take the little yanei back." When Zhizhou has time, he will personally go to Shangguan's mansion to apologize, and ask Shangguan for permission. ”

Xu Ping looked at him playfully, knowing in his heart that Huang Chengxiang would not say it so politely, this barbarian army would not dare to offend himself by saying the original words, so he just used a euphemism. This is Huang Chengxiang using the waste of this eldest nephew to test his attitude.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said: "It's rare for me to come here, since I met it, how can I not entertain it?" The imperial court caress the frontier, and this intention must be understood by you. ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Huang Conggui and said, "Xiao Yanei, did you say?" Inspector Zhu has already ordered someone to prepare a feast, why don't you eat before leaving? Or are you going back with General Huang? ”

Huang Conggui saw Xu Ping smiling, but he felt a chill in his eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder. Gao Daquan's hospitality to him just now was unforgettable!

Of course he wanted to leave this ghost place immediately, and he didn't believe that Xu Ping would still be able to catch him if he left today, and he wouldn't suffer that feeling for the second time in his life.

But as soon as he saw Huang Congfu's low-eyed appearance, the anger in his heart surged up inexplicably, and he pointed at Huang Congfu in a hoarse voice and said, "Do you want me to go back with this waste?" I was brought back by him today, how can I still hold my head up and be a man in Chungju? I'm going to take my father's seat in the future, and I'm going to be Zhizhou! I dare to drink if you put wine, and I won't go back with the waste if I drink it to death! ”

After speaking, he walked towards the hall in a huff.

Xu Ping was taken aback, he wasn't sure if he could scare Huang Conggui and make him listen to him, but he didn't expect this result. Thinking about it, Huang Conggui has been used to bullying Huang Congfu since he was a child, and his own temperament is domineering, and he can't stand any grievances. Let his cousin, who has always been looked down on by him, see his embarrassed appearance, which stimulated Huang Conggui too much, completely lost his mind, and disregarded his life.

Xu Ping looked at Huang Conggui, who was walking towards the hall, and smiled at Huang Congfu: "Can you hear clearly?" Xiao Yanei wants to stay here to eat and drink, and he doesn't want to live up to my and the court's wishes, but I didn't force him to stay here. What, are you going to go back and report it, or are you going to stay and have a drink together? ”

Huang Congfu's face was flushed, and a trace of resentment flashed in Huang Conggui's eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything on his face. Thinking of what Huang Chengxiang said to him, "Go quickly and return quickly, without delay", and then think of Huang Chengxiang's ruthless methods, I can't help but feel that my scalp is numb, and I said to Xu Ping: "Thank you for your kindness, the lower official has the order of Zhizhou, and I don't dare to delay in the slightest. ”

Xu Ping looked at Huang Congfu, looked at his expression carefully, and knew that he was in awe of himself as an official of the court from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't even know what kind of official he was. These barbarians, only when they were excluded from the clan did they remember the benefits of the imperial court, and only then did they remember that this was their biggest backer.

This person is a little interesting, and the affairs of Chungju are also interesting. A local tyrant who manages hundreds of households is just a big village head, and his power is not enough to make Xu Ping jealous. It's just that it involves ethnic contradictions, and the court policy makes it difficult for him to start, and there is such a person, who seems to be much more relaxed to do.

Nodding to Huang Congfu, Xu Ping said: "Since you are so loyal to your duties, I can't force you to keep you, it's not good to let you Zhizhou blame you." - Someone, send the Yellow Army out of the village! ”

Huang Congfu sighed, said goodbye to Xu Ping, and turned to leave.

Looking at Huang Congfu's back, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel funny. What Huang Chengxiang did was not wrong, and he did not dare to clash with the general judgment of Benzhou face to face as soon as he came up, which was sent to the door to be destroyed by Cao Keming Zhongzhou. If he destroyed Zhongzhou, if He County just expanded its territory, there would be no need for someone in the court to talk about abolishing this small county.

But Huang Chengxiang, the father, didn't expect his son to have such a big temper, and he would rather stay than give his cousin this face, but he couldn't try Xu Ping's attitude.

Huang Congfu went out of the village gate, and only dared to get on the horse after leaving more than half a mile, and the awe of the court was really engraved into his bones, and he thought that he had had enough of Huang Chengxiang's father and son since he was a child.

Xu Ping said to Zhu Zongping and Li Anren beside him: "Okay, no one else will disturb us, let's all go to the walled hall and talk about Zhu to inspect a meal!" ”

He said to Gao Daquan again: "Gao Daquan, you take care of Huang Yanei, don't let him be unsatisfactory." But if he complains, I will ask you! ”

Gao Daquan promised loudly and chased Huang Conggui into the hall.

Hearing the footsteps, Huang Conggui felt trembling. This big man seems to have the strength of a mountain, and in his hands, he is like a three- or four-year-old child, let him knead it, and he has no ability to resist. But this big man still follows him to the death, and he doesn't leave a step, as if a plaster is attached to his body, and he can't shake it off.

Gao Daquan has long been experienced in this kind of thing, and when he dragged Li Wei out of the firewood room like a dead dog, he took him out to drink. After drinking a wine, Li Wei vomited out all his gall and sweat, and he didn't dare to say a word in front of him, and let him do whatever he wanted.

It is said that due to the miasma and sinister nature, the men among the barbarians are thin and weak, and their lifespans are shorter than those of women. So much so that among the barbarians, women worked, men hunted and herded cattle, and farm work and housework were not touched at all.

Gao Daquan was skeptical of this, but when he saw Huang Conggui's appearance, he was the strongest at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but he had a handful of bones like a roast chicken, but Gao Daquan believed it a little.
