Hidden Blade Chapter 152: Good people
()Mengxiacheng is a small city less than eighty miles away from Chang'an.
The city walls are not as big as ten miles apart, but relying on Chang'an's time and place, and earning some money from the merchants, it can be considered rich.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion.
The old lady in a blue official gown is stunned, with a pleasing expression on his face.
"Master Taiwei, this is a meal specially ordered by the chef to prepare for the adults. Please use it slowly." He said, the corner of his eye carefully watching the young man sitting at the stone table.
The palace lord of Tiance Mansion and Taiwei Dazhou, who are extremely human beings, don't want to be so young.
But...
It's going to die after all.
Thinking about this, the flattery on his face is even greater.
For many years, he has been in the officialdom, and he has already grasped this superficial and secret ability.
"The little one will retire first. Everyone, please use it slowly." Seeing that he couldn't get the slightest response from the other party, the old lady was not good enough to continue to push his hot face to Xu Han's cold ass. Post. After saying this, I'm leaving.
But the footsteps just started, and two soldiers in white armor stopped him.
The old prince was taken aback for a moment, and looked sideways at the young man who was quietly eating dishes by the stone table. "What does the prince mean?" he asked with a puzzled look.
"Mu An." Xu Han sitting on the stone table ignored his inquiry.
"Huh? What's the palace lord's order?" The boy with an exaggerated sword behind him heard the words and looked sideways at Xu Han.
"When I came, I saw a place selling candied haws on the corner of the street. You asked Keqing sister to accompany you to sell some and eat them on the way." Xu Han said with a smile, Su Muan seems to have a special attachment to candied haws. Read, love to eat very much.
"Really?" The boy's thoughts were simple, and he was delighted when he heard the words, and he was already eager to try.
"Don't eat too much, be careful of tooth decay." Xu Han gave him an angry look and exhorted.
"Yeah." Su Mu'an nodded heavily, then pulled Qin Keqing on the side and bounced out of the house.
When Su Mu'an walked away, Xu Han turned his head to look at the old lady, with a smile like spring breeze on his face.
"The prefect is so courteous, how can I enjoy it alone, come and eat together." Xu Han said with a smile.
Laughing tiger, hiding a knife in the smile.
I haven’t read many books. I can only think of such two phrases to describe this moment by mingling with such a fat old guard by relying on a relationship with a certain big man of Nagayaji that is too far away. The smile on Xu Han's face.
He instinctively wanted to refuse, but he just reached his lips, and he met the murderous gazes of the two armored men.
The old lady is a rousing spirit, thinking about the young concubine who just passed the house, spending a lot of cash tickets, and before he can enjoy it for a while, I really can't explain it here.
So, he swallowed back what he said. The flattering smile appeared on his face again, and a dry old face squeezed into a ball with that smile.
"Master Taiwei is so intrigued, the old man will naturally accompany him." The old prince gritted his teeth and sat down at the stone table.
Who knows, Xu Han stretched out his hand and pressed the wine glass that the old lady handed him.
"Taipei, this is..." The old prince was taken aback, but Xu Han interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
"The old man is an elder, and Xu must respect you for this cup." Xu Han's face still has a bright smile, but this smile makes the old man's heart chuckle, and a faint tinge is born. An ominous premonition.
But Xu Han's physical cultivation has reached the Purple Heaven Realm, how amazing is that strength? With the strength of a hundred knuckles, pressing that hand, the old lady was reluctant in his heart, and could only sit back.
"My Majesty ordered the troops to guard the border in Dahuang Town. This requires the cooperation of the old prince." Xu Han said, and the wine glass in his hand was raised high and headed towards the prince.
"I don't know...Master Taiwei, how do you want to...cooperate with the old lady." The old lady asked cautiously, but he dared not drink the wine glass in his hand.
"It's nothing more than money and food for soldiers, horses, and horses." Xu Han said lightly, and he drank the wine in the glass when he raised his head.
Unexpectedly, the prefect immediately changed his face when he heard the words, and waved his hands again and again. "The old man is not comparable to Changan. The number of soldiers trained is only a few hundred people, and they are all for the purpose of resisting the gangsters from time to time or strictly defending the riots in the city. If it is taken away by the lieutenant, then I will go down the city. If I am not in a dangerous place, how should I protect the people in the city?"
The old guard said like this, the look on his face is very embarrassing, it seems that he is really thinking about ruling the people for himself.
Xu Han frowned at that time, and said with a calm voice, "That's it."
"Yes, the old man has more than enough heart but not enough energy." Seeing Xu Han seemed to be bluffed by himself, the old lady continued to reconcile.
But at that time Xu Han turned his head and looked at a middle-aged man in a red robe with a firm face beside him and asked calmly: "Mr. Yan, is that true?"
The middle-aged man was born extremely burly, and the red robe worn by the secretary fell on him, looking somewhat tight.
But his weird dress did not make the prefecture laugh at all. After seeing the opponent's face clearly, the old prefecture was shocked and exclaimed: "Yan Lianlou?"
Hearing the words, the middle-aged man glanced at the old lady, grinned, revealing his yellow front teeth. "It's under."
Yan Lianlou, one of the three thousand princes of Tiance Mansion, is in charge of the intelligence network of Tiance Mansion, but he doesn't know anything that happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course, this happened in the heyday of Tiance Mansion. Now Yan Lianlou’s intelligence network has been shrinking for various reasons, but in recent years, although he stayed at home and hid in remote small towns, he was able to inform all parties. The survey summary has never fallen.
Although he cannot be as comprehensive as before, he still knows the details of a little prefect.
Although the prefect had never seen Yan Lianlou, he had heard of his name after all, and he was with Palace Master Tiance, so he guessed it at once. After receiving Yan Lianlou's own acknowledgment, the prefect's face suddenly paled a bit.
"How is it? Will the prefect continue to insist?" Xu Han saw him look like this, his face even more grinning. He asked quietly, his voice cold, like flying snow in the north.
The prefect gritted his teeth and thought for a while when he heard the words, but in the end he couldn't abandon the industries that he couldn't easily manage. What's more, the purpose of Xu Han and others' going here has already been passed on by flying pigeons, they are just abandoned sons of the imperial court. How could the old guard be willing to devote his efforts to such a person. Therefore, after he was silent for a long time, he finally said in a low voice: "The old man is not unwilling, it is true..."
Kang Dang!
His words were just spoken, Xu Han stood up abruptly, and saw that the young man waved his long sleeves, and the table full of rich dishes fell to the ground and fell to pieces, and then his hand suddenly stretched out. He held the old lady's hand and pressed it on the stone table.
"Speak up Mr. Yan." He said in a cold voice, if there was a real killing intent pouring out of him, and a cold light appeared on the cuff of the other hand, and a dagger was at that time. He held it in his hand.
Seeing that Xu Han's behavior didn't seem to be bluffing, the old guard suddenly panicked. He repeatedly said, "Master Taiwei, what is this going to do?"
Xu Han ignored it, but turned to look at the burly Yan Lianlou. /"In September of the seventh year of Taiyuan, Gu Liuxiang took office as the prefect of the lower city of the League. The tax was increased by three points. The tax revenue of the tribute court was reduced by three points in the name of drought. This action made a total of 22,000 yuan in silver. Private pocket."
When Yan Lianlou heard this, he said lightly at that time.
As soon as the sound fell, I saw Xu Han's dagger crossed a cold light, and a scream like a pig-killing rose from the prefecture's mansion. The right hand of the prefecture was pressed by Xu Han, and the thumb had fallen off, and it was red. His blood was streaming out, and it infected the entire stone table in a flash.
"Come again." Xu Han's face did not change at all, as if it was a chicken and duck before him now.
"March of the 9th year of Taiyuan, the snow disaster, the court..." Yan Lianlou's deep voice sounded again, but it fell in the ears of the old guard as horrible as Yama urging his life.
"Eight hundred! Eight hundred soldiers! The old man is willing to provide eight hundred soldiers for the lieutenant." The prefect did not care about the dripping wound on his hand at that time, he said loudly, his face was no longer bloody. Obviously, he was shocked by Xu Han's fierce behavior.
But when Xu Han heard the words, he glanced at the old lady stunnedly, and then said: "Read it again!"
"In March of the 9th year of Taiyuan, there was a snow disaster. The court issued 30,000 shi for food and grass, and 13,000 shi was distributed to the victims. The rest was missing." Yan Lianlou's voice sounded again.
Then there was another heart-piercing scream in the prefect's mansion.
This time, the old guard's **** fell to the ground.
"Xu is not a patient and patient. Next time, it will be the entire arm of the prefect." Xu Hanhan said with a reputation for the old man who was almost fainted in this huge pain.
"One thousand and eight...eight hundred soldiers, 30,000 stones...grain and grass..." At this moment, the prefect didn't have the slightest guts to bargain with Xu Han, he said weakly, his face was so pale that he seemed to have it anytime. May faint.
When Xu Han heard this, a smile finally appeared on that cold face.
"The prefecture did this earlier, so why bother to suffer from flesh and blood." He persuaded him kindly, as if he was acting like this and he was very unbearable in his heart.
Immediately, he released the hand that was pressing on the prefect. The dagger in his hand shook and the blood on the top fell off. He stood up: "Tomorrow I will see these things at the gate of the city. If not, the prefect should know what the consequences will be. Right?"
After saying so, he turned around and led the people out of the prefectural palace without looking back.
At that time, Qin Keqing, who accompanied Su Muan to buy candied haws, also happened to come back.
"Palace Master, you taste it, it's sweet!" Su Muan's mouth was full of sugar, seeing Xu Han, stretched out his hand and handed out a bunch.
Xu Han smiled slightly, took the candied haws, took a bite, "Well, it's really sweet."
"That's not the case. My Su Mu'an's ability to pick candied haws is not a vain name." The exaggerated little boy patted his chest and said proudly.
Xu Han stretched out his hand and took the boy's hand~IndoMTL.com~ and walked towards the outside of the palace.
The group of people gradually moved away, and there was no sound of their conversation.
"Palace Lord, shall we not live here today?"
"Can't live."
"Why?"
"The prefect grandfather wants to prepare something for us, so we won't bother them."
"What is it? Is it for soldiers, horses and food for war?"
"Hmm."
"Really? Grandpa Taishou is really a good person."
"Well, he is indeed a good person."
