In Guizhou, the sun is still shining, the air is so hot that people can't sweat, even if they wear good silk clothes, they are sticky to their bodies, smelling the intoxicating mountain breeze with the fragrance of mountain flowers, but they are indescribably top-heavy and weak.

Huangfu Xiaohui is now standing in the hall of the Guizhou Governor's Mansion, wearing a blue silk cloth, although he is now in the body of the guilty to defend Guizhou, but the military position of the Kaifu General is still retained, so he can wear silk clothes instead of cloth clothes.

It's just that the climate in Lingnan really gives him a headache, even if he drinks the kind of Huoxiang Zhengqi soup specially matched by Wang Shichong, he can only barely keep himself from swinging, like last time he was bedridden, this kind of sweating, breathless feeling, is really uncomfortable, this month into the Ling, is the second most uncomfortable experience in his life, second only to the three days in the black prison in Dali Temple.

And now sitting in the hall is the current Guizhou governor Ling Huxi, his hair and beard are all white, his face is thin, his two eyes are deeply sunken into his sockets, his cheekbones are high and prominent, his face is yellow, he is not wearing an official hat, but a cloth towel is on his head, and there are two basins of water on the side of the desk, one is driving on the stove, steaming hot, and the other is the deep well water that has just been hit, and there are ice cubes floating in it, and Ling Huxi is now wrapped in a thick futon, and his whole body is trembling slightly. Huangfu Xiaohuan's heart is bright: Linghu is the same as last time, and he is swinging!

But Ling Huxi, who was swinging, was still looking at the official document, and now what he was holding in his hand was the official document of Huangfu Xiaohe and Guizhou Province, and after reading it, he threw the official document on the case. Keep your head up. It's not loud. But it revealed a majesty: "Those who stand under the hall, but people commit the emperor's filial piety?" ”

Huangfu Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed, judging from the tone that made Hu Xi speak, he was not angry with himself, he was also a fallen person at the end of the world, and he suffered in a place where this bird didn't, why bother to be hard?

But he didn't dare to have any objections, so he gave up his hand. Gong said: "It's the offender." ”

Ling Huxi snorted heavily, lifted the quilt wrapped in his body back, leaned forward slightly, supported himself with two elbows, half leaned on the big case, and shouted in a deep voice: "According to the period on this official document, you should have arrived seven days ago, why did you postpone it to today?" ”

The officer who was standing behind Huangfu Xiaohuan who escorted him all the way was named Wu Sibao, after hearing this. hurriedly handed over his hand to report: "Return to the head of Linghu, from Daxing to Guizhou." Thousands of miles of road, since entering Lingnan, General Huangfu is a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, a few days ago in Daxing suffered an arrow wound again, plus the heavy rain for months, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, this has been delayed for some time, please forgive the head of Linghu!"

Ling Huxi's face sank: "The appointment date has not come, where are there so many excuses, you are all soldiers, if you miss the appointment like this in the army, is there a chance for you to explain?" It's not like it's just going to be chopped! If it rains, you can't walk, so why did the holy decree that was also issued from Daxing arrive a month ago? ”

Huangfu Xiaohuan couldn't hold back, and arched his hand: "The chief manager's words are wrong, the letters of the imperial court, and such holy decrees, are all delivered by six hundred or eight hundred miles of expedited fast horses, I am deserving of exile because of my crimes, naturally it is not good to compare with this, although the prisoner was delayed on the road for some time, but he did not deliberately delay, he really came all the way non-stop, and asked the chief manager to know it!"

Ling Huxi suddenly changed color, stood up with "Huo", and even the hot compress on his forehead fell off, pointing at Huangfu Xiaoxiao and scolding: "Okay, you are a thief with an army, obviously you are delaying time on the road, and you are not honest!" You just said that you made an arrow wound on the road, and this is a missed time, the old man is already sick like this, and he is still holding on to the court to take care of official business, you are such a strong man, you can't walk when it rains? Fool who!"

Huangfu Xiaohuan was dumbfounded, Ling Huxi was still angry, picked up an arrow and threw it down: "The official document said that you were sent here after beating people in Daxing, and when you beat people, you have no energy when you walk?" Hum! When the old man was in the army to fight, you didn't know where to play in the mud, and I have seen a lot of treacherous people over the years, and I still can't see your thoughts?

One more day of mixing on the road is a day, and you can go back to Daxing early and leave this hellish place when the time is full, right! The old man sues you, the old man hasn't gone back yet! Just you kid want to leave now? Don't dream!

Come on, give me the Huangfu filial piety and take it down, and beat me with a hundred killing sticks! After three days, he will guard the city gate for the old man, and he will be on duty for fifteen consecutive days, and no one will be replaced!"

Huangfu Xiaoxiao shouted loudly: "Chief Linghu, I am the general of Kaifu, you can't do this to me!" Is there still a royal law?!"

Ling Huxi sneered, and a glint flashed in his eyes: "Wang Fa? Sue you, in this Guizhou, the old man is the king! is to kill your emperor's filial piety, and it is also within the emperor's right to act cheaply to the old man! Do you understand!"

Ling Huxi waved his hand, and more than a dozen fierce soldiers snatched out from the left and right, held down Huangfu Xiaohuan's arms, and dragged it down, Huangfu Xiaohuan's big voice was still shouting for mercy, but it was gradually moving away, and finally slowly disappeared.

Ling Huxi muttered to himself hatefully: "Hmph, don't let the old man go back to Beijing, the guy from Daxing, come one by one, don't let the old man get better, don't think about it!"

He raised his head and suddenly showed a smile at the escort officer who was already trembling with fright: "You can go back to your life, by the way, the old man still has a letter from home here, and His Excellency Lao sent it to the old man's home in Daxing City, please let the clumsy Jing bring some rheumatism medicine when someone comes to Beijing next time, alas, since I came to this ghost place, I can't straighten my waist these days!"

Two months later, in the garden, Wang Shichong stood on the Xiaoyao Tower, holding his hands behind his back, looking at the snowflakes fluttering outside, the world was covered in silver, and the white was a depression.

Pei Shiju's voice sounded from behind him: "Xingman, are you still waiting for the news of the emperor's filial piety?" I guess it's going to be there in a few days. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and turned his head: "Hongdae, are you really sure, he will definitely come back to sue Wang Shiji for the royal state?" ”

Pei Shiju laughed: "Yiqiqi has already been arranged, the officer who escorted him, Wu Sibao, was my personal guard, specially arranged, didn't he say it when he came back ten days ago, Huangfu Xiaohuan gave a violent beating, half of his life was gone, he didn't go to guard the city gate at all, and he absconded directly before his injuries healed, since his family members are attached to you, he will definitely come back to you." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "But he can abscond by himself, and he may not need to take care of his own family." ”

Pei Shiju's eyebrows moved: "This person is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also reluctant to be prosperous and rich, just like this, as a fugitive, incognito exile for a lifetime, he is definitely unwilling, he only has one way now, that is, to show the emperor Wang Shiji's rebellion against the emperor, in order to avoid the crime, the Zhao Shizhu who was the first Yu Qingze last time, didn't he step on his corpse and become a pillar country?" Huangfu Xiaohuan is such a villain, if he doesn't fight the crooked thoughts in this regard, then he is called a ghost. ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "But how can Hongdae be sure that Huangfu Xiaohui can have conclusive evidence like Zhao Shizhu?" ”

A cold light flashed in Pei Shiju's eyes: "It doesn't matter if the evidence is not evidence at all, the emperor has been unpleasant to see an army veteran like Wang Shiji for a long time, which of these people don't have some parts, and which ones don't have a handle, if you really want to check, it's not a check." Didn't Huangfu Xiaohuan tell you last time, he has been with Wang Shiji for many years, and he knows a lot about the shady things, so it is a capital crime to take one or two things out casually. ”

When Pei Shiju said this, he suddenly changed his words: "But it's okay, this time I will help you take revenge, only until Wang Shiji, if you want to implicate Gao Shiji, then don't blame me for turning against you from now on." ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "No, I just want to take revenge this time, and I will definitely not be involved in the high servant shooting half a point, last time I said, from now on with the high servant shooting grievances, but I will definitely not take the initiative to harm him." ”

Pei Shiju sighed: "I believe you this time, I will not tell you, Gao Servant Shot actually already knows about your attack on Wang Shiji, he doesn't seem to plan to meddle in this matter, in fact, he is showing favor to you, I hope you can help him again." (To be continued......)
