Chapter 129 Daily necessities
Huo Guang naturally didn't know that Wang Wenshu and Feng Ning had such plans. If he really knew that these two people were treasonous, he wouldn't have to wait any longer and just led his troops to kill the two.
"Your Majesty, there are more than 700 soldiers in Huai County now, some of which are signs of Feng Ning at 0:00 after the defeat. However, there are no shortage of armor and armor. Huai County is a county treasury." Li Ling spent an afternoon finally gaining a rough understanding of the situation of the Duwei Mansion and was reporting to Huo Guang at this time.
"The situation under his subordinates learned from the Prefecture House is not optimistic. Now Hanoi is under the control of the imperial court. There is a map of Hanoi here. Please check it out. This is Huai County. Now the entire northern and southwestern Hanoi falls into the hands of bandits. At present, we only occupy the central part of Hanoi County, which is less than two or three in terms of region." Dongfang Shuo took out the Hanoi map from the Prefecture House. The map of this era is still very simple, but it simply marked the approximate locations of the sixteen counties in Hanoi and the names of some rivers and mountains. From the map, it can be seen that Huai County is in the central part of Hanoi County. Now, except for the middle part of Hanoi County, most other areas have been occupied by thieves.
"Who owns the prefectures and counties? How many are there?" Huo Guang pointed to a place name not far from Huai County on the map and said that this is the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Hanoi County, and it is also the closest city to Huai County among the counties captured by thieves. The distance between the two cities is only more than 80 miles.
When Huo Guang asked, Dongfang Shuo quickly found a roll of bamboo slips and read them. Although the paper had begun to be promoted in various counties and counties of the Han Dynasty due to Huo Guang, the speed of promotion was limited after all. Except for Chang'an, the large-scale use of paper, the counties and counties had not completely replaced the bamboo slips with paper. The bamboo slips found by Dongfang Shuo were the information collected by these Tianhenei County about thieves from all over the country.
"Your Majesty, the one who occupied the prefectures and counties was a man named Wang Meng. This person was a prisoner imprisoned in the prefectures and counties. It is still unclear how many thieves are in prefectures and counties now." Dongfang Shuo told the information on the bamboo slips.
"Why is this person being imprisoned?" Huo Guang was not curious about this king, but just wanted to know whether this person was originally extremely vicious or because he was forced to rebel.
"I also checked the files, and I posted a very strange phenomenon, that is, many criminals in Hanoi County have problems with the records, and the records are too simple, often in one sentence or a few words. Wang Meng only recorded one sentence that rampantly attacked the yamen runners in the village." Dongfang Shuo saw that Wang Meng was a prisoner, so he looked through the files of the prisoners. It happened that he found that most of the files had some problems.
"Sir, I don't know whether to say it or not?" Li Ling said at this time. He was born in a military family and spoke out loudly at a young age.
"Tell me." Huo Guang only said one word. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to avoid anything Li Ling wants to say.
"In just half a day, my subordinates heard a lot of rumors about Wang Wenshu. They all said that in order to seek credit, this person framed and killed many innocent civilians. Could these files be Wang Wenshu's hands and feet?" Li Ling was indeed outspoken and told the rumors he heard at this time.
"Don't mention this matter again in the future. You are now in an official position. We need evidence when we speak and do things. Without evidence, any guesses can only be hidden in our hearts. Why do you think I haven't touched Wang Wenshu yet?" Huo Guang said with a serious expression. He also believed that what Li Ling said was true. However, with their status, we cannot act just by guessing or hearing.
"I understand, thank you for your teachings!" Li Ling bowed and said. Although Huo Guang and him were about the same age, there was indeed a world of difference between them in terms of scheming and wisdom.
"It's getting late, so you all go down and rest. Tomorrow, I'll send some people to the prefectures and counties to check in, so let's start with the prefectures and counties first." Huo Guang saw that it was getting late, and everyone was tired these days, so he should take a rest.
"I'm leaving." Dongfang Shuo and others bowed and bowed to leave, and soon Huo Guang was left alone in the room.
The conditions in Huai County are naturally not as good as those in Chang'an. Huo Guang's office rest is in this room, so he no longer has to change places, so he planned to take off his coat and rest, but at this moment, Lao Qi's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Feng Ning is asking for a meeting." Lao Qi's voice was not loud, but Huo Guang was just clear.
"Why is he here to do so late? Is he the only one?" Huo Guang tied his untied belt again and asked outside the house.
"He also brought four followers and carried two boxes. Do you want to see him?" Lao Qi replied.
"Oh... let him come in!" When Huo Guang heard that there were two boxes, the first thing he thought of was gold, silver and treasures. At this time, Feng Ning came to see him, and the biggest possibility was to give gifts.
Huo Guang is not a corrupt official, and he doesn't look down on gold, silver and treasures. However, at this time Feng Ning still aroused his interest. Huo Guang looked at what Feng Ning would give him at this time, how would he speak, and how would he ask for him?
Soon, Feng Ning was led by Lao Qi to Huo Guang's house. Huo Guang stood inside the house and indeed saw four servants following Feng Ning, carrying two large wooden boxes.
"I will pay homage to you. I'm so late and I'll disturb you. Please forgive me." Feng Ning did not wear armor at this time, but was wearing brocade clothes and regular clothes. He did not kneel on one knee, but bowed and bowed.
"Since you are here, please come in, please come in." Huo Guang did not look like he was turning away from others, and he spoke softly to let Feng Ning enter. When he heard Huo Guang call him in, Feng Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the house, Feng Ning signaled several followers to put the wooden box in the corner of Huo Guang's house.
"Vice Feng, what do you mean?" Huo Guang asked calmly while standing still.
Feng Ning gave a wink to his men, and the four servants carrying wooden boxes retreated quietly. At this time, Feng Ning bowed and said, "This Hanoi is not as prosperous as Chang'an. The general and the county magistrate are worried that the emperor is not used to it. This is all things used in daily life. Although it is not as good as the emperor's mansion, it is also the only thing that the general and the county magistrate want to accept. I hope the emperor will accept it with a smile."
"Oh, they are all daily necessities? Aren't the daily necessities in this inn ready?" Huo Guangda asked meaningfully. He didn't believe that the two boxes were really daily necessities.
"Haha, the things prepared in the inn are simple after all, and there are inevitably some negligence." Feng Ning said with a smile, and at the same time he had reached out to open one of the wooden boxes. Although Huo Guang was still a distance away from the wooden boxes, he could clearly see that there were indeed some daily necessities such as bedding in the wooden box.
Huo Guang was still very surprised by this result. Although he had never received bribes, almost all such scenes in later film and television literary works were familiar. Huo Guang originally thought that the box should be golden gold, but he didn't expect it to be a daily necessity.
Seeing Huo Guang's somewhat surprised expression, Feng Ning nodded secretly, then bowed and said, "It's getting late, so I won't bother you to rest, and I will leave!"
Feng Ning came and left quickly. He put down anything unnecessary and said nothing, but said goodbye. This was completely beyond Huo Guang's expectations. Huo Guang did not answer, but just nodded slightly, and then Feng Ning retreated respectfully.
"Strange, these guys don't play according to common sense!" After Feng Ning left, Huo Guang walked up to the opened wooden box and checked it in person. Sure enough, there was nothing valuable in the box. If it were just some daily necessities, it would be really not a bribe.
Huo Guang subconsciously walked to the second wooden box. Huo Guang was no longer interested in the things in this box. He thought it should be no different from the one in front of him, but Huo Guang opened it out of instinct.
The box was opened, and Huo Guang's eyes fell into the box. Huo Guang, who had been uninterested, suddenly trembled slightly, and he stepped back half a step without realizing it, with an expression of surprise on his face. However, after being surprised, he turned to a strange expression. Seeing clearly the thing in the second box, Huo Guang subconsciously swallowed.
The girl in Huo Guang's eyes fell into Huo Guang's eyes. Because the weather was cold, the girl was already trembling in the box. However, it seemed that Feng Ning had also taken some necessary measures and had a circle of bedding around the box. Although it was a little cold, it would not make the girl who was almost unclothed to freeze to death.
When he opened the box, a seductive girl's ketone body appeared. Such a erotic scene, let alone this era, even Huo Guang had never seen it in later generations. Huo Guang looked at this girl who was almost a top girl, and the girl looked up at Huo Guang. The two of them looked at each other. Huo Guang saw that the girl's eyes were in tears, and she was trembling with cold, and she looked even more pitiful.
But the weaker and pitiful image is, the easier it is to inspire men's **. Huo Guang also has to admit that Wang Wenshu and Feng Ning's moves are indeed innovative and effective. Thinking of the few words Feng Ning said just now, Huo Guang thought to himself: "In this era, this is really a daily necessity..."
