The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 59

That night, outside the window was fluttering, and it was snowing again.

The snow fell on the treetops and was blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.There was another heat wave in the already warm room, and the barely audible trembling sound melted into the warm tent.

Anyway, this night, Young Master Gu, who was so majestic outside, lay down almost all night in aggrieved state.

It's not like lying down, anyway, all the tricks she had done to Chu Lan before, but now none of them are left behind, and the good student Chu Lan has returned them all.During this period, she begged for mercy several times, until Chu Lan whispered in her ear: "Can it be my birthday gift?" Gu Zizhan immediately lay down and accepted it obediently.

This directly caused Gu Zizhan's legs to soften when he got up the next day, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Stretching his long legs awkwardly, Gu Zizhan sat at the table in a cloak, drinking chicken soup while accusing the perpetrators last night with his eyes.

Seeing Chu Lan's refreshed face, Gu Zizhan finally understood that her prestige on the bed in the past was all because of Miss Chu's laziness—lazy to care about her, and too lazy to do it herself.

Seeing Gu Zizhan acting like a young daughter-in-law, Chu Lan couldn't help but smile, and said angrily, "You've had enough, why are you still acting good when you get a cheap price?"

Gu Zizhan pursed his lips, rubbed his waist again, and muttered, "Sure enough, I can't take advantage of it. If it's too cheap, alas, it's all work."

Chu Lan couldn't help but learned to roll her eyes when she saw Wei Wei, and not to care about this scoundrel.Ever since the "news of Gu Zizhan's death" came back to the capital and she saw the ring, she felt restless day and night.He had to deal with people from all sides, but he also had to worry about whether Gu Zizhan would report good news instead of bad news.And the dream that night also terrified her.All these things put together made her a little breathless.

It wasn't until seeing Gu Zizhan who was right in front of her eyes that the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

Thinking of another thing, Chu Lan asked Gu Zizhan: "By the way, Cheng'er, how have you been these few days? Have those strange things happened again?"

Gu Zizhan shook his head, "No, Gu Che hasn't appeared recently." He smiled again, and said to comfort Chu Lan, "Don't worry about me. These few times, she just took the opportunity to make trouble when I was mentally unstable. I'm more determined, and I don't need to be afraid of her." Now, she no longer has any fear of Gu Che, but it was the last voice that appeared in the dream that day that made her feel puzzled.But what she didn't realize was that, apart from curiosity and doubts, she had never had any fear or worry about it.

Chu Lan also understood, but the worry in her heart was still there.Always find a way to completely solve this hidden danger!In the end, it is lack of skills, although she has sent Jian Wei out, but she does not know when she will be able to find what she wants.

Gu Zizhan knew that she was worried, and felt sorry for her tossing and turning for many days. He stepped forward and took Chu Lan's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, and then stuck it to his heart, "I have this feeling, even if I meet again She, and I won't be afraid of her."

"Because I have you, I miss you, so I won't let me lose you."

**********

Gu Zizhan's side is full of spring/brightness, and Xing Kang's side is also full of wind and water.

He knew early on that Chen Yushi belonged to King Yu.

Thinking about it, Chen Yushi's purpose was also simple.Many prefectures and county officials in Jiangbei are from the lineage of King Yu, and it has not been a day or two since the granary has been in deficit.Now that there is a military disaster in the north, as long as Jiangbei's official warehouse is opened, these problems will definitely be exposed, and someone will always take the blame.As for who the candidate is, it is self-evident.Besides Xing Kang who betrayed King Yu, who else could there be?

As for the problems of Qing and Meijiang counties, it was just the most inconspicuous part of it.Back then, he was able to complete the case of private casting of official silver for King Yu on his own, but now, with Emperor Tianshun as his backer, he is naturally more handy.

Here, Zhu Hongke, the magistrate of Meijiang County, saw Xing Kang's two-and-a-half kung fu, and took Chen Yushi down. When facing Xing Kang alone, his face was as scared as gold paper.

Xing Kang knew what he was afraid of.This little trick, in front of Xing Kang, is like a trick.What Xing Kang wants to achieve now is something else.

Without further ado, Zhu Hongke knelt in front of Xing Kang and revealed everything.Xing Kang couldn't help laughing in his heart, the King of Yu is old, how dare these few small fish and shrimps be used to blame him?These methods are enough to deal with fools like Wang Yunhe back then, but it is wishful thinking to attack Xing Kang!

Such a good opportunity is right in front of him, and Xing Kang will naturally not let it go.

In a few words, Zhu Hongke had already described the situation of the official warehouse in Qingjiang County. After he came out of Xing Kang's house, he was shocked and frightened. After kneeling for a long time, Zhu Hongke's legs were almost unsteady.

Seeing this, the master who was waiting outside quickly stepped forward to support him, and asked, "Master, what does the imperial envoy say?"

Zhu Hongke had a mournful face, "He, he didn't say anything." Then he asked the master in panic: "Master Wang, tell me, what should I do when things have come to this point!"

Seeing people around, Master Wang hurriedly comforted Zhu Hongke in a low voice, and finally said: "Master, at this point, you are going to bleed a little."

That night, a 1 taels of bank note with a rising ticket number was delivered to Xing Kang.

Xing Kang didn't even look at it, and directly returned the bank note.

Early the next morning, the bank notes delivered to Xing Kang became two.

Xing Kang still didn't want it, and retreated back, but changed his previous style of rushing to do things, and spent a whole day leisurely in this management station.

Zhu Hongke was even more frightened and almost couldn't bear to hang himself.Gu Zizhan's whereabouts were unknown, and there was another charred bone in the ruins of the granary. He didn't dare to tell this matter to the outside world, let alone seek information from the officials of King Yu's family.That is the son of the world, if something really happened to him, how could he survive!What's more, he has already said the bottom line in front of Xing Kang, Yu Wang will not spare him, and now Xing Kang is also ignoring him like this, he really feels that he can't live anymore.

Master Wang stopped him, and Zhu Hongke cried: "What are you doing to stop me! This guy surnamed Xing doesn't want to enter, he obviously wants to force me to death!"

Master Wang thought for a while, but then smiled.Zhu Hongke was crying anxiously, but when he saw him laughing, he was so angry that he almost couldn't hold his breath.

Master Wang hurriedly comforted him, and ordered his servants to help him sit on a chair, waved away the crowd, and then said: "Master, you must never do stupid things again! This matter depends on the villain. Look, hey, there's a show!"

Zhu Hongke looked at him, and asked with tears in his eyes, "How, how should I say it?"

Master Wang stroked his beard, paused, and said, "Think about it, although Mr. Xing didn't accept our banknote, he didn't tell the matter either! If he is really an upright official, how can he Can you accommodate these?"

Zhu Hongke was taken aback, and asked, "Then, what does he mean?"

Master Wang smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid his appetite is much more than that!" He persuaded Zhu Hongke: "Master, now, he is reluctant to part with the money and loses his life!"

So that night, Xing Kang received another bank note.This time, the denomination is 10 taels.

Xing Kang smiled at the gift giver and accepted it.

On the third day, Zhu Hongke looked much better, and hurried to see Xing Kang.

As soon as they met, without waiting for him to cry any more, Xing Kang asked straight to the point: "Magistrate Zhu, the next step, have you thought about what to do?"

Zhu Hongke kowtowed twice, wiped away his tears, and replied: "I, Zhu, have a low life, and I'm at the mercy of the adults!" Xing Kang smiled, helped him up, and asked him to sit opposite him. Down.How dare Zhu Hongke let him help him, he didn't even dare to touch Xing Kang's hands even when he was rolling and crawling, and sat on the stool half-sideways.

Xing Kang glanced at him, shook his head again, and sighed with embarrassment: "Oh, it's a bit difficult for you, County Magistrate Zhu!"

Zhu Hongke was startled, and knelt down again.

Xing Kang laughed loudly, "What are you doing? The man has gold under his knees, and I can't afford such a big gift from County Magistrate Zhu! Get up quickly, and talk to me again when you get up!"

Zhu Hongke got up timidly and stood in front of Xing Kang.

Xing Kangcai said again: "Now, I am here to escort food and grass to Jiangbei under the order of the emperor, but right now, your official warehouse in Qingjiang County is empty. I want to help you, but I can't do it."

Seeing that Zhu Hongke's body softened and seemed to want to kneel down again, Xing Kang quickly stopped him.The original smiling face changed in an instant, and he reprimanded: "Speak well, if you continue like this, why don't you take the bank note back, and save me from doing so many plans for you here!"

Zhu Hongke didn't kneel immediately, nor did he kneel, he just stood there trembling, begging.

Xing Kang waved his hand and sighed again, "That's all! Take people's money and help people/eliminate disasters! Besides, County Magistrate Zhu can't be regarded as a treacherous and evil person after all, so I will help you this time!"

Zhu Hongke was overjoyed immediately, his expression was a little distorted, and he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what should I do now?"

Xing Kang smiled slightly, "It's not too difficult to say! As long as there is food in the official warehouse, I will not pursue it anymore. When the time comes, the Zhenyuan Army will come, and naturally they will not find out."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Hongke made a bitter face again, "But, my lord, now that I'm an official, where can I find so much food!"

Xing Kang smiled leisurely, opened his lips and uttered a word: "Borrow!"

Then he said slowly: "Look at this officer, many of the prefectural and county officials in Jiangbei are your old acquaintances from the same year! There are dozens of prefectures and counties in Jiangbei, and only seven or eight of them need to mobilize food and grass this time. , the rest of the official warehouses can’t all be empty, right? If you encounter difficulties alone, it’s better to ask everyone to help you.”

He laughed sarcastically again, "Magistrate Zhu's family wealth should still be able to support him!"

Zhu Hongke didn't dare to say too much, he wiped the cold sweat off his brow, thanked him repeatedly, and agreed.Thinking of Gu Zizhan's matter again, Zhu Hongke couldn't help crying again: "My lord, I don't know what to do next, I don't know what to do. That day, the one who died in the sea of ​​fire was, it was Mr. Gu! She, she was The eldest son, I, Xiaguan, oh, what can I do!"

Seeing that Zhu Hongke was about to cry again, Xing Kang waved his hands annoyedly, and cursed: "Don't worry about this matter, I have my own arrangements!"
