Yang Wuhui looked at Zhao Shu and asked softly: "Your Majesty, where do you want to send me?"
Zhao Shu smiled and replied: "Xichong, you can go to Xichong County and become the county magistrate!"
Yang Wuhui was stunned, Xichong.
Of course he knew Xichong, Xichong in Sichuan.
In the fourth year of Emperor Wude's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Nanchong and Longzhou in Guozhou, that is, the southern part of Langzhou, and Yanting in Zizhou were established as Xichong County.
The most famous among them is Huang Xinshao.
The red sweet potatoes in Xichong include red-skinned sweet potato with yellow heart and yellow-skinned sweet potato with red heart. These two kinds are either red-skinned or yellow-skinned, or yellow-skinned or red-skinned, which are the local products and specialties of Xichong County.
When Yang Wuhui was a boy, he traveled to Xichong and ate Huangxinshao.
After roasting, it is extremely delicious.
But there is a bad custom in Xichong, which is superstitious about ghosts and gods. They often offer sacrifices to the gods and pray for peace.
Then there was a record in the county annals, saying that there were people in Xichong who were engaged in fishing. They once caught two small snakes and took them home to raise them.
Unexpectedly, as the snake grew up, its head and horns gradually became different from those of snakes.
Finally, one rainy night, they turned into two flying dragons and entered the river in Xichong.
Since then, Xichong has offered sacrifices to the river god every year to pray for good weather for the year.
Yang Wuhui knew that going to Xichong must be because of the emperor's ulterior motives, but for Yang Wuhui, going to Xichong was a good thing. Xichong was far away from Jiangnan and also far away from the White Lotus Sect, so since he wanted Going to be a county magistrate in a distant place may not be a bad thing here.
In response to this, Yang Wuhui said: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
In response, Zhao Shu waved away Yang Wuhui.
On the way out of the palace, Yang Wuhui also lamented that the emperor was too stingy.
After he entered the capital, he solved two major cases in a row, but he was not rewarded with anything else. Even if it was yellow and white things, he would not dislike them. You must know that yellow and white things are extremely important to anyone.
Food is the most important thing for the people. Even if Yang Wuhui becomes an official, he does not think that the money he earned seriously will be criticized by others.
It would be great if I could have a hundred acres of fertile land and a number of maids.
After Yang Wuhui left the palace, someone was waiting for him.
The old housekeeper of Lan Shilang's family is waiting for Yang Wuhui.
The old housekeeper came forward and said to Yang Wuhui: "Master Yang, my master has invited you!"
Yang Wuhui would not refuse Lan Youzhi's invitation. He also wanted to pay a visit to Master Lan.
When the old housekeeper drove the carriage to Lan Mansion, Lan Youzhi was already waiting in front of the door.
Yang Wuhui stepped forward and said politely: "Shilang Lan, no, how can I bother Shangshu Lan to wait for me here!"
Lan Youzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Bilian, please don't tease me. I am still relatively inexperienced. I'm afraid that Your Majesty may have other plans for the position of Minister!"
Yang Wuhui's surname is Yang Wuhui, and his courtesy name is Bilian.
At the beginning, Bao Gong hoped that Yang Wuhui could be like the green lotus, which can emerge from the mud but not stained, and the green lotus without being evil.
Now that someone called Bi Lian away, Yang Wuhui was naturally a little unhappy.
Bilian, if you don’t want to be Bilian, then doesn’t it mean you don’t want Bilian.
This word seems very inappropriate.
Yang Wuhui continued: "Master Lan called me here today. What's the matter?"
Lan Youzhi didn't care when he saw Yang Wuhui talking to him in an official tone.
He then said: "Bilian, come with me, the food and wine are ready, let's eat!"
After waiting, Yang Wuhui originally thought that the preparations were very rich, but in the end there was only one stewed duck and two stir-fried vegetables. This made Yang Wuhui sigh with emotion, Lan Youzhi is indeed a noble man, but he must not spend one day in his room. After finding countless gold, he cried bitterly to Yang Wuhui and said, "Bilian, I don't dare to spend any of it!"
Yang Wuhui sat down and started tasting.
After eating it, I have to admit that this stewed duck is the most delicious stewed duck I have ever eaten in my life.
Yang Wuhui said: "I didn't expect Master Lan to have such a skill, it really impressed me!"
Lan Youzhi said: "Bilian, please don't talk to me in official style. You saved me twice, so we can be considered friends. Besides, this stewed duck was made by my butler, but it can't be done with me." It doesn’t matter at all!”
Yang Wuhui put down his chopsticks and said, "I don't know what happened when Mr. Lan called me here today?"
Lan Youzhi said: "The officials met with Bilian today, and they must have discussed the issue of Bilian's placement! I guess with Bilian's character, she would definitely not be willing to stay in the capital. She would definitely want to go out and experience it like Bao Gong. , not only to earn seniority, but also to continue Bao Gong’s ability to punish evil and promote good. Therefore, Bilian must have chosen to be a local official, right?"
Yang Wuhui smiled bitterly, it was not his wish, it was arranged by the housekeeper.
It seems that I am not qualified to refuse at all.
But facing Lan Youzhi, Yang Wuhui still nodded and said: "Yes, I still want to go and experience it!"
Lan Youzhi asked again: "But going to Xichong?"
Yang Wuhui was stunned and looked at Lan Youzhi. To be honest, he was a little surprised.
"Did Mr. Lan know in advance?"
Lan Youzhi shook his head: "I didn't know that, but now, although I am not the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I am in charge of the functions of the Ministry of Personnel. And our Song Dynasty has always been a carrot and a pit. Currently, among the many counties, there are three There is a vacancy in the county magistrate. The first two magistrates were naturally transferred when their terms of office expired. However, only the magistrate of Xichong County was murdered, and his body has not been found so far. Your Majesty is responsible for this matter. My son has already become furious. And Bilian is a disciple of Bao Gong, so His Majesty will definitely entrust you with this most difficult task. So since you have chosen to be an official abroad, it can be said that going to Xichong is inevitable. "
Yang Wuhui suddenly understood, and Lan Youzhi suddenly saw his purpose.
Not only to thank him for saving him, but also to tell himself about the difficulty of this trip to Xichong.
What the hell is this emperor doing? He sent himself to Xichong. Isn't this sending him to a pit of fire?
Thinking of this, Yang Wuhui had the urge to run away.
Of course, he knew he couldn't leave.
After thinking again and again, Yang Wuhui asked solemnly: "Master Lan, please tell me how the last Xichong County Magistrate died?"
Lan Youzhi replied cautiously: "It is said that it offended the river god of Xichong County!"
Yang Wuhui was stunned, what do you mean?
Lan Youzhi added: "Although officials like us should not believe in ghosts and gods, in Xichong County, the river god is loved by almost everyone, so we have no regrets about this trip and must be careful!"
Yang Wuhui was stunned again. It seemed that the problem in Xichong was very serious!
At the same time, he also understood the official's intention. I'm afraid he also realized that this matter was not simple, so he sent himself.
It's just that no matter what, you have to send 1,800 Yulin Guards to go with you!
Otherwise, just go like this, or rush into Xichong alone, who do you think you are!
