"Wangwang~"

I heard the sound of a dog barking!

As soon as Wu Sanzhong's words fell, a big black dog burst out of the alley not far away, and with lightning speed, it bit the beggar's thigh with a "chirp".

The beggar fell to the ground in pain, grinning and howling, and kept crying, "Oops, oops, it hurts me." ”

Then the sergeants rushed up, first beating the big black dog to death with their hands and feet, and then tying up the beggar.

The crisis is over!

Wu Sanzhong snorted, breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Liang Bo and those soldiers, and scolded angrily: "The court is better than raising a dog to raise you!" Look, you see, if it weren't for this black dog today, the consequences would be unimaginable! If you hurt Hou Yushi, can you afford to be guilty? ”

In fact, Wu Sanzhong is a bit exaggerated, although Liang Bo's character is very inferior, but in the acre of three points of land in Guangzhou City, he is still very capable of doing things.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the beggar narrowly crossed the first layer of cordon, but to say that he could successfully assassinate Hou Sizhi alone would be pure nonsense.

Liang Bo and the group of Guangzhou officials who were sitting with him knew that they were appeasing the adult's dog temper, so they naturally did not dare to defend themselves.

Only Cui Geng rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Wu Anfu, which eye did you see the assassin?" Obviously, it was the big black dog that was chasing the beggar all the time, and he rushed into Hou Yushi's honor guard in a panic, and there were no assassins at all. Don't be surprised, it makes Guangzhou City seem to have bad security! If any person can assassinate the Hou Yushi in Guangzhou City, your appeasement envoy eats dry rice? ”

"You ......"

Wu Sanzhong didn't expect that he was loyal, but he was actually caught by Cui Erlang, and he didn't say anything, and in front of Hou Sizhi, he was accused of being incompetent and humiliated.

His face turned slightly red, and he said angrily, "Who knows if he is an assassin who deliberately pretends to be a beggar?" Someone, send him to my pacification envoy yamen, this official will definitely try this case to the ground! ”

Cui Geng tilted his head and sneered: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on today, isn't it just a beggar begging for a livelihood on the street, but the Wu Anfu envoy wants to send it to the yamen with his mouth closed, what a big official authority!" Admire, admire! I really sympathize with the people of Guangzhou City, this day is simply miserable! ”

Well, Wu Sanzhong was humiliated again!

"Hmph, you know what." Wu Sanzhong took the opportunity to pat Hou Sizhi's ass again, and said: "Hou Yushi is a pillar of the imperial court, and every move is related to the well-being of thousands of people. His safety cannot be overstated. ”

Unexpectedly, the horse's fart slapped the horse's leg again.

Hou Sizhi glared at Wu Sanzhong fiercely and said, "What pillar of the imperial court?" What is the well-being of millions of people? Tell me about this imperial history! ”

Then, he came to the beggar and said with a pleasant face: "Beggar Suo'er, what is your name?" ”

The beggar cowered and replied, "Little ...... The little one is called Zhou Ghost. ”

"Ghost Zhou? Alas, look at the unfortunate name. ”

"Where?"

"The villain has been begging with an old beggar since he can remember, and he really doesn't know where he came from."

Hou Sizhi sighed and asked again, "What's the matter with your face?" ”

"Let the bad guys burn them with hot oil."

"What about the ears?"

"Dog bitten."

"Tut-tut~~" Hou Sizhi smashed his mouth a few times and sighed: "It's really pitiful, come on, even if you meet this official, you will be able to run it." Come! ”

"In!"

"Let Ghost Zhou go, and give him two more money, no one is allowed to be embarrassed."

"Yes!"

The guards behind him said yes and did as they were told.

Cui Geng took the opportunity to say: "Hou Yushi is so attentive to a beggar, he is really a good official who loves the people like a son." But ......"

"Huh? How? ”

"As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, what should he do if he spends these two dollars?"

Hou Sizhi said that the official is just asking for a good reputation, and he is not Zhou Ghost and his father, so what should he do if he runs out of money?

He frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "What about Cui Yushi's opinion?" ”

Cui Geng said with a smile: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, this Zhou ghost should be allowed to have a skill, enough to stand on his own." Of course, Hou Yushi has to worry about national affairs all day long, and he has no time to be distracted by such small things. It's better to leave this matter to the lower officials. ”

As soon as Hou Sizhi heard this, he understood: Cui Erlang also wants to pat his own sycophants, but the level of this sycophant is slightly higher than that of Wu Sanzhong!

In his opinion, there must be pity for the poor.

Now that the Great Zhou is rich in the people, this week's ghosts have quick movements with hands and feet, but they have become beggars, and they must be stuck on the wall.

This kind of person, if you give him a chance to learn a plan, he won't learn well!

Cui Geng said that teaching people to fish was just a cover for his own ass, and it was nothing more than raising this beggar for himself.

When the time came, it was a beggar who crashed into his car, and as a result, he had a large number of adults, but instead of being guilty, he got rid of his status as a beggar and had no worries about food and clothing.

Why not spend your own money and not have a good reputation?

Thinking of this, Hou Sizhi nodded and said, "Well, it's still Cui Yushi who is thoughtful and has a heart." ”

Of course, this Zhou ghost is Zhou Xing, and now that he has Hou Sizhi's words, he will have a legitimate identity to stay by Cui Geng's side in the future.

At the beginning, the plan he told Cui Geng was not to follow Cui Geng first, but to live in seclusion somewhere in Zhangzhou.

Then, on a high-profile occasion, he met Cui Geng in the light and stayed by Cui Geng's side.

Hou Sizhi came to Guangzhou to investigate the case, and the opportunity that Zhou Xing was waiting for finally came. This case of crashing and deposing the frame was planned by him.

The Tang Dynasty is a hierarchical society, and the simple social status division is that of the sermons, merchants, and serfs. Hou Sizhi first became a peddler selling cakes, and then became a domestic slave of Gao Yuanli, so it can be said that he has almost fallen to the bottom of society.

However, there are two professions that have a lower social status than Hou Sizhi, that is, beggars and prostitutes ~ women.

Hou Sizhi was born in poverty, suddenly ascended to a high position, psychologically distorted, and was very vicious to people who were higher than him before, and if he didn't agree with him, he would find a way to let people raid his family and exterminate his family.

However, he was very peaceful with people who were originally lower than him. Even in order to get a good reputation, he often gave beggars.

Of course, this is just Hou Sizhi's feeling good about himself, and it is actually useless. Even if someone knew, they wouldn't make a name for themselves.

Therefore, although Hou Sizhi has done a lot of so-called "good things", only a few cool officials such as Zhou Xing know that he is careful.

Of course, Wu Sanzhong didn't know what was going on, so he slapped his fart on the horse's hooves again, and Cui Erlang took advantage of the loophole to pick up the cheap.

Zhou Xing took advantage of this to make a plan and get what he wanted.

The little episode soon came to an end, and everyone left.

After Cui Geng returned to the temporarily arranged Yamen, he couldn't wait to leave the left and right, leaving only Zhou Xing.

He recounted what happened at the banquet today, and asked Zhou Xing to analyze why Hou Sizhi had to come to Lingnan and couldn't get along with himself.

After hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded slightly, and said: "Cui Yushi is too worried, in fact, before coming, the villain has already analyzed the ins and outs of the matter. As soon as you say this, I am more and more sure that Hou Sizhi is definitely not here for you. ”

"And who is he here for? Could it be Wu Sanzhong? ”

"No, exactly, for his own ......"

In Zhou Xing's analysis, although Hou Sizhi is unlearned, he is cunning by nature and has a keen sense of smell in politics ~ governance.

With Zhou Xing, Qiu Shenxian, Suo Yuanli and several other cool officials, dead and exiled, in fact, in secret, Hou Sizhi has also been frightened and numb.

So, he had the idea of going out of Beijing to avoid the limelight, so he asked Wu Chengsi for the position of the deposed envoy of Lingnan Province.

In fact, he was not interested in the case of Cui Geng and Wu Sanzhong at all, and he didn't have the heart to investigate it at all.

When he feels that this limelight has passed, he will casually close the case and return to Beijing to resume his life.

What Hou Sizhi hopes most now is that during his time in Lingnan, he will not be conspicuous, and no one in the DPRK and China will notice him.

It was precisely because of this that he was not at all interested in Wu Sanzhong's plan to let him go to Quanzhou - when the time came, he couldn't help but be greedy, what if he really fought with those maritime merchants? This is not to send the pigtail to someone else, and to be told to Chang'an, but it is a life-urging charm.

As for his transfer of Cui Geng, Chen Yuanguang and even Jia Renyi to Guangzhou City, it should also be out of this consideration.

Cui Geng was dumbfounded after hearing this, because in the "Absurd Dream", he knew that this limelight of disintegrating and attacking the Cool Officials Group would not only not pass, but would blow more and more.

It wasn't until Junchen was killed seven years later that the entire Cool Officials group was swept away and ended.

If this is the case, Hou Sizhi's turtle grandson has stayed in Lingnan Road for seven years, and he will also be bound to Guangzhou City for seven years?

He hurriedly asked Zhou Xing if there was a way to get out of trouble quickly.

Zhou Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Cui Yushi, you think too highly of me." It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now the villain has a black eye on Guangzhou City, what can he do to break the situation for you? But ......"

Cui Geng hurriedly said: "But what? ”

"Everything is changing, and there are no more than three directions to break the situation: first, find evidence of Jia Renyi's collusion with his bureaucrats, so that Hou Sizhi has to close the case. Second, if we catch Hou Sizhi's handle, we can close the case as much as we want. Third, find enough evidence to ruin Wu Sanzhong's reputation, and the case will be closed. ”

This suggestion is from a high position, pointing directly to the core, and Zhou Xing sees it very thoroughly.

But......

Cui Geng pondered carefully, and could not find evidence of Jia Renyi's collusion with his bureaucrats in Zhangzhou, let alone in Guangzhou. Although Hou Sizhi is not a good person, since he didn't provoke himself, there is no need to make more strong enemies.

It seems that there is only one way to break the game - the idea of fighting Wu Sanzhong.

But the efficiency of Feng Pu and Zhang Lin is too low, and until now, there has been no useful news.

Just as he was thinking nonsense, Zhou Xing coughed lightly again and said in a low voice: "In addition, the villain reminds you one more thing, the most important thing now is not attack, but defense." You have no foundation in Guangzhou, Wu Sanzhong is the head snake in Guangzhou, he has to guard against him first. ”

Cui Geng was woken up by a word, nodded and said: "That's right, he is the head snake of Guangzhou City, you must imitate him first...... Not? Ground snakes? ”

Speaking of this, Cui Geng's mind seemed to have a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped some extremely important information, and muttered to himself: "Is he really a snake?" It seems that this official is not without roots in Guangzhou...... There is a person who is probably more qualified to be called the head snake than him Wu Sanzhong! ”
