Tonggong, the most luxurious and mysterious place in Shayang County, can haunt here, basically the head of Shayang County, and other idlers, even if they have money, it is difficult to set foot in it, like many outsiders, they have not even heard of such a place in Shayang County.

This is the salon of the real leaders of Shayang County, which is not only a place for them to relax and enjoy, but also a place for them to plan and trade.

Tonggong is not in the county, but built on the shore of Minghu Lake a few miles away from Shayang County, Tonggong has more than a dozen owners, but only one is eternal, that is the Liu family, the other owners, over the years, has changed a lot. Once each Shayang county guard takes office, he will automatically become one of the shareholders of Tonggong, of course, he gets dry shares, and when he leaves, this shareholder position will naturally be gone. Since the establishment of the Tong Palace, no county keeper has refused this position as a shareholder, because even if he only holds a dry share, the income of each year is something that he cannot obtain when he has been the county guard for ten years.

When every county guard takes office, Mrs. Liu has always been a carrot and a stick, obedient, naturally hello, I am good, everyone, obedient and not ingenious, the old lady of the Liu family gives you benefits, so that you can get soft, get frightened. If you want to leave the old lady of the Liu family in Shayang County to have a great power to enjoy, you will immediately find that it is difficult to move an inch, and your orders will not even be able to go out of the county guard yamen.

Over the past few decades, all the county guards who came to Shayang County to take office have also learned to be obedient, and once they arrived in Shayang County, they would not go to the official office first, but would first go to Liu's Mansion to visit Mrs. Liu, and say that they would never break the previous rules and regulations.

The county has rules and disciplines, and Mrs. Liu is naturally very face-saving, in addition to those bonuses in private, on the surface, Mrs. Liu is also absolutely respectful.

Of course, this is in the light, but in the dark, the style of painting has completely changed.

Just like today, in the Tong Palace, it was Mrs. Liu who was on the table, and it was the supreme governor of Shayang County, County Shou Quanyun, who was smiling happily.

Quan Yunquan County has been staying in the position of Shayang County Keeper for three years, this year is the year of the imperial court's examination, the supervision of the imperial history from the imperial court came, and the merits of the Quan people in the past three years were examined.

Quan Yun didn't want to be promoted, but he didn't want to be transferred, because in the past three years, he stayed very comfortable in Shayang County, and the old lady Liu did it properly for him, and at the end of each year, a large number of bonuses would be delivered to the house on time, where to find such a day? After leaving here, even if he goes to work in Yuejing City, how can he compare to the comfort here? In Shayang County, except for Mrs. Liu, it is himself, and when he arrives in Yuejing City, he is a fart as a county guard!

But he also understands that he is very sad at this level this year, because Zhang Ning, the left minister, wants to hold Shayang County in his hands. The Yue Kingdom has lost a large area of anointed land, and although Shayang County is now located on the border of Qi and Vietnam, it is under constant threat, but it is the richest county in the Yue Kingdom.

His hope can only be pinned on Mrs. Liu.

Old lady Liu naturally doesn't want this obedient county guard to leave like this, in the mind of old lady Liu, everyone in this world has a price, if you can't buy it, it can only mean that your bid is not enough, Zhang Ning wants to take Shayang County, he also knows it. However, even if Zhang Ning is now the prime minister of the left, it is not so easy to take food out of Old Lady Liu's mouth.

Old lady Liu also has people in the court.

"Lord Zhou is in Yuejing City, so he is naturally used to hearing that magnificent and elegant sound, and when he arrives in our poor and remote place, can he still listen to such rural slang songs?" Old Lady Liu raised her wine glass and raised her glass to Zhou Wenlong, who was sitting on his left.

Old lady Zhao has quirks, which is well known in Shayang County, she doesn't like elegant sounds, she only likes to listen to some rural slang songs, and what she sang during today's banquet was a pair of father and daughter who wandered here specially found by Quan Yun.

The white-haired, wrinkled old man sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, accompanied by the erhu, standing beside him was a person dressed like a village girl, holding a disc in one hand, striking with a chopstick, singing while knocking, the tune was tactful, but the song was pathetic and inexplicable, singing the lyrics that his hometown was invaded by the Qi people, his relatives were displaced, and he was in danger.

On such an occasion, singing such a tune is naturally extremely incompatible with the atmosphere, Zhou Wenlong frowned slightly, this song is the dismount that Mrs. Liu gave him, and it is also an obvious signal of refusal to the master Zhang Ning behind him.

Although Mrs. Liu is not in the officialdom, but the backer in the court is also very hard, although the Luo family has fallen, Zhang Ning is not able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, the way of checks and balances, the emperor is still very proficient, the newly appointed military department and the old qualification of the household department are very close to this old lady Liu, when he came, Zhang Xiang also repeatedly instructed that he wanted Shayang County, then, cooperation with Mrs. Liu is an unavoidable thing, take out Quan Yun but to win over Mrs. Liu, this is the task that Zhang Ning gave to Zhou Wenlong.

But now it seems that things are not so simple. glanced at Quan Yun, who was full of smiles, and didn't know how this county guard won the favor of this old lady, and even made the old lady refuse Zuo Xiang's kindness without hesitation.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xiang is the main peace faction, and all the treaties signed with the Qi people now are handled by Zhang Zuoxiang, and the old lady Liu expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhang Xiang in this way, which made Zhou Wenlong have a headache, or he could only give this old lady Liu greater benefits in order to make him fall to Zhang Xiang's family.

"This village girl looks average, but her voice is excellent." Zhou Wenlong looked at him left and right.

"The voice is secondary, the key is sincerity!" Old lady Liu turned the cup thoughtfully, and looked at the father and daughter in the field with pity, "After a lifetime of hard work, in the end, suddenly there is nothing, there is no home, no house, no field, and I have to be reduced to singing on the street, Lord Zhou, you have entered the city, have you ever seen that inside and outside the city of Shayang County, there is an endless stream of people fleeing, and there are not a few people who starve to death every day!" Is it the right to be guarded? ”

"The old lady is right, there are dozens of people sent to Huarenzhuang every day, most of them are starving to death, although a good person like the old lady has set up a porridge shed, but there are too many people who can not stand the escape, and even the government-run porridge shed is difficult to sustain." Quan Yun shook his head repeatedly.

Zhou Wenlong looked at Quan Yun and sneered: "This disaster relief and rescue is the duty of the county guard, if someone starves to death, which is the dereliction of duty of the county guard, the right county guard, you have to be cautious." ”

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!" Quan Yun was not afraid at all, "The Qi people cut off five hundred miles of land, and the people in these places fled in large numbers, many of them poured into Shayang County, although Shayang County is a large grain-producing county, but this year, the imperial court has requisitioned grain from Shayang many times, and now in Shayang County, many grain depots have been empty, so what can this official do?" ”

"Lord Quan, the national policy of the imperial court, you'd better not discuss it without arrogance. This is a great sin! Zhou Wenlong's face suddenly darkened.

Quan Yun sneered and raised his glass to drink, since Zhang Ning wanted to take his position as the county guard, he naturally didn't need to give his dogleg Zhou Wenlong face, anyway, now he is holding Old Lady Liu's thigh, as long as Old Lady Liu doesn't let go, he will be safe. And can Mrs. Liu let go, of course not, Mrs. Liu relented and voted for Zhang Xiang, but he also offended the other two bigwigs, Quan Yun believes that Mr. Liu must have weighed the benefits, and he should not be familiar with it, rather than hug Zhang Ning's thighs now, it is better to firmly hold the previous thighs tighter. Those two are now fighting with Zhang Zuoxiang in the court.

The two bigwigs chatted with each other, and the other rich and powerful people in Shayang County who were sitting with them were silent, seeing the two of them glaring angrily, everyone lowered their heads and pretended not to see. Old lady Liu smiled slightly, "Lord Zhou, this is a private banquet, it is my old man who is the east, here, you can say anything, but when you go out of this door, you naturally don't admit it, and there are no outsiders here, it is understandable for Lord Quan to complain, he, the county guard, deserves to work hard!" ”

It's hard work! Zhou Wenlong said with a scarlet belly. "Old lady Liu, there are some things that we should not say. At present, the state affairs are a little more difficult, but under the wise guidance of His Majesty and the leadership of Zhang Zuoxiang, I believe that sooner or later we will get out of the predicament, of course, this also requires the elite of the country like Mrs. Zhao to contribute their own strength. ”

Old lady Liu laughed, "The old man is over seventy years old, and the next day he is far away from the ground, Lord Zhou praised it falsely, the old man is just eating and waiting for death now, but he can't be said to be an elite." ”

"Although the old lady is old, but Ling Gongzi is in the prime of life, this time the official sent to Shayang, before leaving, Zhang Xiang was also full of praise for General Liu Xingwen, saying that the Dayue military is in need of a tiger general like General Liu, Zhang Zuoxiang said, as long as the old lady is interested, Zhang Xiang will transfer General Liu to Yuejing City, and take up the post of deputy commander of the Tiger Ben Army. Old lady, that's our Dayue's Heavenly Son Army! Zhou Wenlong quietly threw out a heavy chip.

Hearing Zhou Wenlong's words, Quan Yun's face immediately changed.

"Xiao'er is now suppressing bandits in Feng County, and his father can't help it, and now that his idea is big, he may not be able to listen to the words of the old man." Old lady Liu smiled and said, "But Zhang Zuoxiang's kindness, the old man will definitely convey it to him." ”

"That's very good. Zhang Xiang is thirsty for talent! Zhou Wenlong raised his wine glass and glanced at Quan Yun proudly. (To be continued.) )
