Chapter 53 The scholar is manipulated by the man

After a battle, the foreigners in Fengjiang seemed to fall into silence.

No one dares to say anything at this time.

Of course, there is actually no need for that. After all, everyone is here to take advantage of the opportunity. As long as it does not affect their counties and their own interests, most of them just clean up the snow in front of themselves and don't care about the frost on other people's tiles.

Just thinking about what happened, it still feels incredible.

Xu Yangzhi of Xuzhou County was not weak, and the Yunkun Sect was not a low-level, low-level sect, but with such a background, he still died in Fengjiang.

The most important thing is that he died too quickly.

Xu Yangzhi had just arrived in Fengjiang in the morning. The convoys and entourage outside the city had not even entered the city, and their heads fell to the ground. It was really too miserable.

Some people sighed inwardly, and even reviewed the whole thing after dinner. It might be better if Xu Yang could not stop his murderous intention and come directly to exchange Dali's luck for Xu Wentian, and then think about it in the long term.

But it's obvious that he underestimated Magistrate Fengjiang. He broke into the cell to take the person away as soon as he arrived, and then he immediately attacked and killed Magistrate Shen when he saw him. With this series of arrogant behaviors, I can't blame him for killing you in the end. .

Furthermore, in addition to geographical factors, part of the reason why Fengjiang has not been able to develop for so many years is that the fate of Dali has been cut off by them.

Without the nourishment of luck, it would be difficult for the territory to have aura.

It is said that water and soil can support a person, but if the water and soil are not good enough, the person's growth will definitely be far behind.

It was originally located in a border fortress, where many monks came and went, but the economy could not develop.

The water and soil are not good enough, and good crops cannot be grown on the land. There are no rivers and water systems, and transportation has become a problem.

In short, over the years, the people's livelihood in Fengjiang began to decline.

Thinking about it, you know that if you worry about eating all day long, how can you have anything else on your mind?

Therefore, if the source of everything is due to the luck of being intercepted by some large counties, there is nothing wrong with it.

You know, if this matter were dealt with in other counties, let alone cutting off the luck of the enemy, if you just detained a caravan of other people's caravans, a fight would have started.

And Fengjiang has endured it for decades. You can imagine how the people in Fengjiang have lived these years. They were unwilling but unable to do anything.

But it seems to be different recently.

Anyone who cares will notice slight changes.

Not to mention the Fengjiang County magistrate who suddenly broke into people's sight, let's just say that it is obviously autumn weather in this Fengjiang territory, but this year's withered yellow leaves have not yet fallen.

Some trees, flowers and plants even still stubbornly maintain their green vitality and even novelty.

And some people have given a reasonable explanation for all this, and it is most likely caused by the mysterious cave heaven and earth that was leaked.

Almost no one suspected Chen Mu.

Now everyone is waiting to see when Wuliang Mountain will find the entrance and then fully open the Cave Heaven Paradise.

…

…

Three days later.

The gate of Fengjiang County.

The ox cart pulled a cart of people and slowly left the city.

Beside the carriage outside the city gate, several people from the Yunkun Sect had gloomy expressions on their faces, staring intently at Xu Wentian and a black coffin being dragged on the ox cart.

Compared with when he was dying before, he is doing better now. At least he can sit up. He must have eaten, but he is obviously too distracted.

Because lying in the coffin next to him was none other than Xu Yangzhi.

Li Tieniu was silent while driving the ox cart. Beside him, the scholar in white kept talking.

However, a rough man like Li Tieniu would not listen to the words of a scholar. Wufu and scholars have never been able to get along with each other.

But Gu Shouzhi didn't care. He didn't stop talking until he saw the people from Xuzhou counties and the Yunkun Sect.

The headmaster of Yunkun Sect stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Thank you very much, Mr. Gu. This favor will be recorded by the Xuzhou County Council."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Shouzhi waved his hand, and then said: "I tried to persuade him when he entered the city, but I couldn't stop him. Pan Guiren asked me before, but I failed to do a good job. Let's make up for it this time."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Wentian behind him: "I will leave the father and son to you and take them back to Xuzhou counties. However, the border is different now and the situation is complicated. You should rest and recuperate, and don't do extreme things anymore."

good."

The headmaster of Yunkun Sect bowed and nodded: "Please give me more advice from Mr. Gu, but did the Fengjiang County Magistrate really let him go?"

Gu Shouzhi nodded: "No need to worry too much, just take him away. The rest is between me and him. I will solve it myself."

The man wanted to say something more, but he couldn't speak after thinking about it.

Then with a shake of Taoism in his hand, Xu Wentian and the coffin on the ox cart floated onto the carriage behind him.

Watching the convoy of cars slowly leaving, Gu Shouzhi sighed softly.

It seems that he is talking to himself, but he also seems to be asking others:

"Wouldn't it be better to be reasonable earlier? If I were not so impulsive, maybe I wouldn't be so impulsive. Brother Tieniu, don't you think so..."

behind,

Li Tieniu's eyes were dull, and he pretended not to hear while brushing the flies off the old scalper's butt.

What are you talking about this morning?

I can’t even understand it. This world is nonsense. Wouldn’t it be better to solve it with fists?

Besides, I'm just a delivery person, so don't ask me about anything else. If you ask me, I don't know. I'm not smart and I don't want to hear it.

It seemed like I was embarrassed for a few seconds.

Gu Shouzhi blinked and was not discouraged. He got on the bullock cart in advance with a smile on his face.

"Okay, Brother Tieniu, I have to trouble you to take me back to the county government office. I'll go see how your county magistrate wants me to repay this favor."

Li Tieniu nodded, nibbling on the corn, and led the old scalper back.

Corn is a commonly eaten species in Fengjiang. It is one of the few crops that can be adapted to grow here, and it is the guarantee of food and clothing for the people in Fengjiang.

Although it is not as good as the delicacies of the capital, it does have a different flavor, at least in the eyes of scholars.

Gu Shouzhi looked at the man's mouthful of food, licked his lips, and then said quietly: "Speaking of corn, I am reminded of a poem written by a great scholar: Guixin corn turns to torture, and the mouth and body are exhausted. It is difficult to plan for tomorrow today.

, the old men envy the young heroes. It is very suitable for the current situation of your border."

"..."

Li Tieniu pretended not to hear and ate faster.

"Brother Tieniu, is this corn boiled in boiling water and simmered until it is sweet and very soft?"

Li Tieniu chirped and shook his head: "It's so sweet, it's not delicious at all."

As he spoke, he threw away the gnawed corn cob and took out a second one from his pocket.

Gu Shouzhi smiled and nodded, and was about to reach out to take it, but saw Li Tieniu put it directly into his mouth.

"Mr. Gu, this food is whole grain. It's not sweet or delicious. You have delicate bodies, so you'd better eat less of this stuff. It's not good for your health. It'll be hard when you pull it out. It's not interesting."

"..." Gu Shouzhi had a dark look on his face and lost all thought in an instant.

Then he smiled helplessly and sighed: "Fengjiang County Government is very interesting, every one of them is a wonderful person."

…

The ox cart arrived at the county government office.

Gu Shouzhi went in alone and was familiar with the road.

at this time,

Chen Mu was drinking tea in the small courtyard of the government office. When he saw Gu Shouzhi, he smiled slightly.

"Sent away?"

"gone."
