76, the interests of the heart
Jiao County has not been very peaceful recently. This is not about the turbulent situation, the collusion between officials and bandits, which has led to the people's support and panic. It is about the turbulence in the officialdom!
The prefect Su, the original governor of County Su, was the sky in the area of Jiao County.
But this day, it collapsed not long ago!
Prefect Su was old and was almost in his seventies, but he still refused to retire and return home. He had lived for more than a hundred years, but in any case, he died in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. It was not considered a joyful delight, but he was also a good living. But for some reason, a piece of news suddenly came from the people in Prefect Su's mansion.
It is said that the real cause of Su Taishou's death was because of an affair with his niece, and then he was too excited when it was rising, so he died suddenly.
The news was so full of noses and eyes that a large number of servants were executed in Prefect Su's mansion. In this blizzard, a "corpse mountain" was piled up outside the mansion. However, the "corpse mountain" could not be seen at present, because the bodies were transported away and buried in the mass grave outside the city.
According to the yamen runners who buried the corpses, the deaths of those corpses were so terrible that they all suffered before their deaths. They all looked ferocious, as if they were evil ghosts. Even the yamen runners who did all their bad things for tigers could not help but pay for a bunch of incense, candles and ingots to burn them after seeing them, and the yellow paper money was even spread all the way.
Zhuo Jingning rode his horse and rushed for half a month before returning to Jiao County.
This was when he encountered a blizzard on the way and could not rush. The second was that he was still scared of Yu Hu Guan in the deep mountains, so he walked first, then walked around the mountain road, and then returned to the official road.
The horse Zhuo Jingning was still the same old horse. Although he did not want to argue with a beast after that day, this guy's behavior suddenly got away when he saw that the situation was not very good, and he still stimulated him very much. He naturally blew up the matter of giving him a care for his old age.
Zhuo Jingning also inquired about the origin of this old horse, but Li Wanshu was not very clear about it. But one day he found such an old horse in the mansion. Seeing that it was too old, he felt pity and made it not have to work on weekdays. Later, he found that although the old horse was slow to pull the cart, it was very stable, so Li Wanshu occasionally led it out to pull the cart.
The shock absorber device, as well as rubber tires, does not exist in the world of Liaozhai, so it is actually not comfortable to sit on the carriage. It is okay to have a stable section. If it is bumpy, it can make everything you eat last night!
Zhuo Jingning dismounted when he arrived at the city gate. He led the horse in. On the back of the horse, it was Zhuo Yuanqing. She was not looking around, just like the first time she entered the city, looking curious.
When I came back this time, Zhuo Jingning and this little fox came back together.
Zhuo Jingning felt more obvious at this moment when the two levels of punishment physique strengthened. If he were an ordinary person, he would have looked tired after half a month of tossing, but he was still energetic and full of energy, and even had no physical discomfort at all.
Zhuo Jingning did not go to other places, but went to Baijia's original mansion first.
The door is closed.
But there were people in the house because Zhuo Jingning heard the subtle footsteps.
He went up and knocked on the door.
"who?"
"Zhuo Jingning." Zhuo Jingning returned.
"It turns out that the eldest son is back, please invite him quickly!" They drove away, and a servant from the Bai family who had never seen Zhuo Jingning stood at the door and said, "The master has given instructions. The eldest son is back, please go and find him immediately."
"Okay, I'll go over now and take good care of my horse." A strange color appeared in Zhuo Jingning's eyes. The name of the Bai family's servant was obviously something that Bai Weng intended to take care of. Before, they called him the second young master or the second young master.
This can be said to be a signal from Bai Weng. He understood it, so he turned around and said, "Yuan Qing, come down quickly. Come with me to see your grandpa."
Zhuo Jingning stretched out his hand at Zhuo Yuanqing on the horse's back.
The two spent more than half a month on horseback, so Zhuo Jingning was extremely natural to stretch out his hand.
The little fox tilted his head, then turned over and jumped down, and threw himself into Zhuo Jingning's arms.
This little fox is not heavy, with a height of more than 60 pounds. This is nothing to Zhuo Jingning, who is punished and strengthened by his physical condition. Now he exerts force with both hands and can easily lift a heavy object of 200 pounds!
Zhuo Jingning took Zhuo Yuanqing in as soon as he saw Bai Weng coming out. When he saw Zhuo Jingning, he immediately smiled and said, "My son is finally back. I am very worried about this blizzard."
"Encyclopedia." Zhuo Jingning called out, then pulled Zhuo Yuanqing over and said, "Yuanqing, call him grandpa."
The little fox pursed his mouth, but he still gave Zhuo Jingning a face and shouted.
"Jingning, do you have a daughter?" Bai Weng frowned slightly, "Then her mother..."
"My mother has left." Zhuo Yuanqing suddenly spoke.
"Let's go..." Bai Weng's brows stretched. Since he was dead, there would be no problem, otherwise it would be unfavorable to the implementation of his next plan. Seeing that Zhuo Yuanqing was a girl and was not old, he ignored Zhuo Yuanqing.
Zhuo Jingning's heart moved, but without saying anything, a few people entered the room. Bai Wengping stepped back and took a sip of tea. After a while, he said, "Jingning, I know that this is a grievance of you, but I have no choice but to donate a Bodhisattva golden body to Bai Jia, the Bai family now has only a storefront left to support it."
"I am also from the Bai family. What a grievance or not. A governor, that is a good thing that fell from the sky." Zhuo Jingning smiled, "After taking office, I will open up a wealth path for my adoptive father and let him enjoy wealth and glory."
"It's good that you can think so." Bai Weng also smiled, "And your sister-in-law, the daughter of the prefect Su nephew. I know that this is difficult for you to do. Therefore, my cousin has a daughter who is eighteen years old. Although she is a little older, she is just because her parents love her too much and cannot bear to marry her. After I wrote to say that my cousin and his wife agreed, and you will get married after you take office. What do you think?"
When Zhuo Jingning heard what Bai Weng said, he could understand what Bai Weng meant.
This is probably because of hearing those rumors.
Although he had just entered the city, Zhuo Jingning heard the news when he met someone from Jiao County on the way, which was Bai Weng who was compensating him.
Zhuo Jingning pondered for a moment, then nodded.
This also has a benefit, which will reassure Bai Weng. As for whom he married, and whether his personality is compatible with him, he doesn’t want to know. He only has a little bit of it - he is a good-looking yellow-flowered girl.
Is there any difference between being in love at first sight?
I believe that Mr. Bai will satisfy him, otherwise it will backfire and even make enemies because of this.
Seeing Zhuo Jingning agreeing, Bai Weng’s smile became even brighter.
"In the future, will you be white armored to the outside world? Don't mess it up." Bai Weng took out a box, and the seals of white armored inside were all written by white armored ones.
"Yes, adoptive father."
Zhuo Jingning said, his eyes always on the official seal and the official uniform.
This is a damn but charming official position!
