This letter is only a few lines, and all of them are in the vernacular, which probably means: Erlang, my brother, I suddenly fell seriously ill after I went back yesterday, and I am afraid that he will die soon. This letter was dictated by me and asked someone else to write it on my behalf, even if I reported my own funeral, brother. If you recognize me as a brother, come over and see me for the last time, and it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, just throw this letter away and forget it.

"Really?" Feng Changqing was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that God has really opened his eyes, and Hou Sizhi will kill himself if he commits many injustices?" Cui Geng and Chen Ziang spoke in unison.

If this is the case, then dare to be kind, the clouds of the day are full of disperses, and everyone no longer has to worry about Hou Sizhi's affairs, they simply want to fall asleep and send a pillow.

But...... It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Although Cui Geng and Chen Ziang hoped that it was such a coincidence, they always felt that it was a little unlikely.

The three of them were suspicious, discussed for a while, and finally decided to let Cui Geng take a look. If Hou Sizhi really fell ill and died, everything would naturally be fine. If he didn't die, he might as well take a look at what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

After all, Hou Sizhi is a six-grade servant of the imperial history, no matter what conspiracy he has, he can't do anything to Cui Geng, the political envoy of Lingnan Province, on the spot.

So, Cui Geng asked Feng Changqing to prepare an eight-color gift, and he went to visit the patient in person.

……

Temporary Lingnan Road deposed the envoy yamen, inner hall.

Cui Geng met Hou Sizhi.

The grandson was lying on the bed with a pale face, and a fine white cloth was placed on his forehead, and he looked really sick on his face.

However, Cui Geng paid attention to it, and after a careful inspection, he found that the eyes of the surnamed Hou were the eyes of the sick seedlings? is still as cunning and flickering as ever, if you want to say that he is terminally ill and will not die soon, you can't believe Cui Geng if he kills him.

Also, isn't this grandson's face pale pink?

Ya Ting! Dare to love this disease is all pretended!

However, Cui Geng didn't reveal it, but pretended not to know, and pretended to comfort: "Hou Yushi, don't think nonsense, this official is rough in medical theory, your disease is not incurable, as long as you recuperate with peace of mind, it will always be fine." ”

"Erlang, don't let my heart go." Hou Sizhi coughed twice and said, "The official has invited all the famous doctors in Guangzhou, and they all said that the official is terminally ill and the medicine is ineffective. The only way to get well is to ......"

It seems that the moth is out of this "only way", Cui Geng secretly sneered in his heart, but his mouth responded, "What? ”

"It's Chongxi!"

"Chongxi?"

"Yes, this official is an old widower now, if he can marry a new person and enter the door, let this joy rush, this disease may be cured."

Cui Geng was a little confused when he listened to it, this Chongxi is Chongxi, what does it have to do with him? He found himself, and he couldn't give him Chongxi, men and men Chongxi, this is not scientific, isn't it?

So he replied vaguely: "Chongxi? There is such a saying in my hometown of Qingyuan. ”

"So, Erlang, you also support my brother's decision? Good! Very good! ”

Hou Sizhi got up from the bed with a single body, tore off the white cloth on his forehead, and said, "Then my old brother, this marriage depends on Erlang and you as a matchmaker." ”

Nima, a dragon and a tiger, is really pretending to be sick.

When Cui Geng heard this, his heart suddenly became vigilant, and he asked tentatively, "Uh...... Then I don't know who Hou Yushi wants to marry? Cui is young and has shallow qualifications, and his face is probably not wide enough! It's okay to go for Hou Yushi, but if the woman is not happy, she can't be strong, right? ”

If it's just to be a lobbying matchmaker, Cui Geng thinks it's not impossible, it's just a matter of effort!

"Erlang rest assured, he will never embarrass you! This official can't let Brother Erlang buy a robbed marriage, right? ”

Hou Sizhi smiled and said bluntly: "Don't hide it, the woman I fancy is Wang Ruiyue." Now that Zhang Zirui is dead, she is a widow~ woman. And the old brother is an old widower. You wonder, are the two of us a good fit? ”

What a good egg!

Now, Cui Geng finally understands why Hou Sizhi is so enthusiastic about Zhang Zirui's case, why he is so attentive to Wang Ruiyue, it turns out that all the roots are here!

Thinking about that day, why did Hou Sizhi treat Wang Ruiyue and Yan Yuese at the second hall of the county government, and promised to help him find out Zhang Zirui's whereabouts? Why is he so concerned about himself, he wants to help him go through the path of the martial arts brothers and arrange for his promotion, and he wants to introduce his daughter-in-law to himself, and even after he refuses to share the spoils, he refuses to turn his face.

And from beginning to end, he is the eldest brother of Erlang and the shortest brother of Erlang.

It turns out that this grandson is asking for something! And this thing is still quite large!

And Chen Ziang told himself that there were suspicious characters near the Tongfu Inn?

Now it seems that it is not Wu Sanzhong's remnants at all! Ninety percent of them were the people arranged by Hou Sizhi to keep an eye on Wang Ruiyue there.

All the abnormalities are related to Hou Sizhi.

He has only one purpose, that is, to marry Wang Ruiyue!!

It's not that Wang Ruiyue is beautiful, there are more beautiful women in the world, what Hou Sizhi really likes should be Wang Ruiyue's identity - the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Datang is a strictly hierarchical society, and marriage is a major event, and it pays more attention to the right person.

Which is the tallest one?

It is not the royal family, but the five surnames and seven wangs, they are Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang.

These seven families consider themselves to be a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and a large number of internal marriages are intermarried, and they rarely marry daughters or daughters-in-law to the outside world.

Even the Li Tang royal family was considered by them to be nouveau riche, and refused many requests for intermarriage.

However, the more this is the case, the more the world attaches more and more importance to the daughter of the five surnames and seven hopes.

If you can marry a daughter-in-law with five surnames and seven hopes, it is simply that three generations of ancestors have glory - including the royal family.

Now the question is, people can't even look down on the royal family, can they still look down on him Hou Sizhi? Isn't that pure!

Cui Geng clearly remembered that it was in that absurd dream that there was a record in history that Hou Sizhi was forced to marry the daughter of Li Ziru of Zhaojun, but he was angry with the public, and was caught by a little mistake and killed on the spot!

There is no way, the social atmosphere is like this, Hou Sizhi's persecution of officials can be tolerated, but to break through the restrictions of this social hierarchy, he is not qualified enough!

This is also the reason why Hou Sizhi repeatedly curryed favor with Cui Geng, obviously, he wanted to use Cui Geng's kindness to Wang Ruiyue and let him be kind to Wang Xiaozhi.

If Wang Ruiyue took the initiative to agree to this marriage, Hou Sizhi's pressure would be reduced a lot, and maybe he would really be able to get his wish.

You must know that this is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, Hou Sizhi really married him, and the descendants in the future can claim to be related to the five surnames and seven hopes.

This is the real aristocracy!

This is the real change of door!

Otherwise, no matter how big an official Hou Sizhi is, people can still shout disdainfully-Lu Xiang Yongnu!

In addition, Hou Sizhi suddenly rose to a high position from a cake seller, and his psychology was distorted, and he really had a particularly strong "sexual interest" in this kind of daughter with a high surname!

Cui Geng's mind was racing, and after he had understood the cause and effect of this matter, he shook his head again and again and said: "Hou Yushi, you want me to help me with this and keep this matchmaker, but it is really too difficult for a strong man." I, Cui Erlang and Wang Ruiyue, met in Pingshui, in fact, there is no friendship, this matter you explained, it is really difficult to do it! ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Now, after all the soft words, Cui Geng is still unwilling to help, and Hou Sizhi is no longer pretending.

He slammed a few cases and said, "Cui Geng, if you have done this well, you will be my brother surnamed Hou in the future, if you cause something, I will be my brother to cover you." If we can't do this, I won't talk about the far-reaching, let's just talk about the present. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled sadly and said, "Don't forget, the case of Chen Yuanguang and Jia Renyi has not yet been judged by this official!" The same torture tool, since this official can use it on Jia Renyi's body, he can use it on Chen Yuanguang's body. Not to mention that he is difficult to protect himself, even if he is allowed to climb on you Cui Erlang, it is by no means a difficult thing. ”

Cui Geng was angry in his heart, your dog's day is Wu Zetian's night pot, it is useless after people become emperors, it will be broken in a short time, and fools will share blessings and misfortunes with you. Now you're looking for your own death, don't implicate me!

It's helpless, since you've pushed me to this point, let's have a good fight.

Wu Liangju I fell, Wu Sanzhong also fell, you Hou Sizhi may not be an exception!

Thinking of this, his face changed-

Belch...... smiled very embarrassedly, his face lost the rejection just now, his tone changed suddenly, and he said with great humility: "Hou Yushi is angry, Cui actually wants to do this for you." As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one family, which is a good thing no matter what. ”

Hou Sizhi saw that Cui Geng was soft, and scolded secretly, cheap bones, don't put on a position at you, don't take advantage of you, you really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!

But since Cui Erlang was willing to give in and agreed to help, there was no need for him to chase after him, he snorted, nodded with a little satisfaction, and said, "This official likes to listen to this, you go on." ”

Cui Geng said: "However, Cui doesn't say it, you also know the difficulty of this matter." So, to do this, you have to promise me three conditions. ”

"What are the three conditions?"

"First, after this matter is handed over to the lower officials, you don't have to contact Wang Ruiyue again, otherwise you will make the beauty unhappy, and I am afraid that your efforts will be wasted. Second, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I can't rush this matter, you have to give me a month. Third, don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people, and you can't interfere with the actions of the lower officials during this month. ”

"Good!"

Hou Sizhi agreed very happily: "Brother Erlang, your three conditions, this official can agree. There is only one thing, if a month later, if Wang Ruiyue has not relented, then there is nothing to say, you just wait to destroy the family. ”

Cui Geng replied respectfully, and said, "The lower official knows, Hou Yushi, please do it!" ”

"I'll send you?"

"No, aren't you sick? Keep lying down, the lower official will take his leave first! ”

"Oh, yes, yes, it's sick, look at my memory! Brother Erlang, let's go, brother is waiting for your good news! ”

Out of the yamen, Cui Geng breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Feng Changqing: "Come with me to the Tongfu Inn, I will see Wang Ruiyue!! ”
