After going through many difficulties and dangers and overcoming numerous obstacles, Zhou Li and his party finally arrived at Beiliang City...
suburbs of the city.
"Lose the city?"
Looking at the city guards in front of him, Zhou Li asked doubtfully: "What happened to Beiliang City? Why is the city suddenly closed?"
"Oh, this is all explained by the big shots above. I don't know the details."
The soldiers guarding the city sighed helplessly, scratched their heads and said:
"I don't know what happened, but last night the city was suddenly closed. No one was allowed to go out or enter. The county magistrate didn't give an accurate answer, that is, we closed the three city gates."
"No warrant?"
Guo Lingyun on the side stepped forward and asked with a frown: "Where are the official documents? To close the city, a notice needs to be posted at the city gate. Why don't you make an announcement?"
"this···"
The soldier guarding the city was about to scold this man for having so many problems, and then he saw the bright red flying fish suit on him. He then thought, although Guo Lingyun's tone was not very friendly, considering that the other party was young and did not understand the rules, he should reconcile with the Xiuchundao and Feiyufu.
"It's not that we don't make it public, it's mainly because the superiors didn't give us a warrant or a notice. We little people don't dare to ask for it from the magistrate."
After hearing the helpless words of the defenders, Guo Lingyun's expression softened slightly. Although he had an upright personality and could not tolerate sand in his eyes, it did not mean that he did not understand the world at all. This is obviously a problem with the magistrate and the people above him. If he makes things difficult for this little pawn, he will be just trying to push someone around.
"this is not right!"
At this moment, Qian Hu on the side finally couldn't suppress his love for his post and his career. With Zhou Li's expression of looking forward to a good show, he stepped directly in front of the soldiers, held down the frightened soldiers, and spoke in a tone of voice. Sincerely said:
"According to the Thirteenth Regulation of the City Preparation Law in the Ming Dynasty Laws, city closures, searches, and curfews outside the specified time all need to be publicly announced. At the same time, three people form a team at the city gate to inform and dissuade the people."
Guo Lingyun slapped his forehead directly, raised his head and looked at the sky with a speechless expression.
Here comes the naked butt grinder.
"Child, the provisions of the Ming Dynasty's laws have their origins. Think about it, if you don't explain the reason for closing the city, then if someone with ulterior motives deliberately incites the gathered people to rush into the city gate, the situation will become serious. ?"
Holding the opponent's shoulder, Qianhu spoke sincerely and had a gentle expression. He was neither arrogant nor did he have the preaching tone of the older generation. Qianhu was like the biological father of the city guard, and he taught him earnestly:
"You are an ordinary soldier. I understand your inability to resist your superiors. I have also come from your age. But you cannot give up on yourself. If you accept this precarious life, then everything will be Going in a direction you don’t want.”
"Just like now, if the people are incited to rush into the city gate, you will be the one who suffers, you will be sad, and it will be you who will be found guilty in the end. My child, the world is like this, but you cannot be controlled by the world, you have to learn to resist , learn to fight for your own rights.”
"do you understand?"
Captain Liu turned around in shock and pointed awkwardly at Qian Hu, whose face was filled with Buddha's light. Zhou Li and Tang Wan, who were being watched by him, turned their faces away and pretended to be looking at the scenery.
"Let me explain."
Guo Lingyun walked to Agent Liu with a relieved smile. After a brief silence, Guo Lingyun said calmly under Agent Liu's gaze: "I can't explain it clearly, so just think there is something wrong with his brain."
At this time, Captain Liu felt as if he was Grandma Liu who had entered Chechi Country and saw Optimus Prime for the first time. He looked in disbelief at Qianhu, who was trying to persuade the soldiers in front of him. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was still trapped in the hallucination of the mountain god statue.
What species is this?
At this time, under the guidance of Qianhu, the soldier had begun to cry bitterly and was ready to rush into the city lord's palace to regain the dignity and rights belonging to the soldier. Zhou Li on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and said:
"He is a member of the Imperial Guard of Thousand Households. When the county magistrate saw him, he had to kneel down and kowtow."
After saying that, Zhou Li saw the soldier kneeling on the ground and kowtowing four times.
"No, that's not what I meant."
While sighing at the soldier's cleverness, Zhou Li helped him up and said kindly: "In this case, take this lord's token and inform your county magistrate."
After hearing Zhou Li's words, Qianhu directly handed over his belt, and did not forget to ask, "Do you need me to hand over the Xiuchundao to you? This is more convincing."
Are you sure it's persuasion?
At this time, the soldiers' legs were shaking with afterimages. For these low-level people who have some contact with the government, they are well aware of the prestige of the Jinyiwei, including but not limited to "Kill your heads to the ground, kill your whole family's heads to the ground, kill "The heads of your nine tribes will fall to the ground." Anyway, as long as Jin Yiwei shows up, nothing good will happen.
At Zhou Li's signal, the soldier finally plucked up the courage, picked up his waistband, and ran toward the city tremblingly. About ten minutes later, the soldier ran back out of breath and gasped:
"Master Magistrate, please allow you to enter the city..."
"no."
At this time, Qianhu's face suddenly changed, and the soldier felt like he was mourning, thinking that he had offended the other party. Qianhu sighed forcefully and lamented: "The county magistrate changes his orders overnight without making them public, which damages the prestige of the court. After we meet later, I must reprimand this person severely and ask him to correct these mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had lowered their heads and said nothing directly nodded and led a few people to the city gate, opened the city gate in person, and respectfully led Zhou Li and others into the city.
After returning to Beiliang, Zhou Li was immediately relieved and relaxed visibly. He looked at the familiar butcher's shop, the familiar tailor shop, the familiar own shop, and the familiar woman holding a cane and looking at him with a smile, and cold sweat broke out.
Me, fuck.
"came back?"
The woman was dressed in white, sitting quietly on a wicker chair. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her dress was not stained with dust.
A layer of light blue tulle vaguely reveals the woman's graceful and cold face. The soft ink-like green silk is combed into an elegant bun, and a hole-blue blue and white ice moon hairpin is fixed at the back of the head. The long strand of hair hanging down was quietly blowing behind her, and the red and white cloud ropes were overlapped together and tied into a smart bow.
After seeing the cold sweat on Zhou Li's face, the woman smiled softly and waved her jade hand on the white sand slightly. An invisible wind streak passed by and wiped away the cold sweat on Zhou Li's head.
"Why am I so panicked?"
The red lips parted lightly, the sound was like the fine threads of spring rain, refreshing, and there was a faint smile in the quiet eyes. The woman looked at the pale Zhou Li, slowly took off her veil, and spoke calmly.
"Xiao Li."
