The official road of the farmer

The silky zither sound is as sweet as a stream, the shadow of the candle is red, and the fragrance is floating.The graceful figure is indistinct.

Ming Fulai sat in the side room with a gloomy expression, drinking one cup after another.

Brother Xiang sat sideways, with his hair curled up and his eyes blinking, watching Ming Fulai drink with a sullen face.

"Master Fu~ Why have you been drinking in a sullen mood? Could it be that the attractiveness of the slave's house is not as attractive as a mere pot of wine?"

Brother Xiang was talking coquettishly, he snatched the wine glass from Ming Fulai's hand resolutely, and drank it in a sip by himself, moistening his long and narrow eyes, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick his red lips as if slowing down, leaning over, "Fu Lord, you will be angry if you ignore the slaves and slaves~"

Ming Fulai narrowed his eyes, and was not angry when his wine glass was robbed. Instead, he grabbed Xianggeer and ate a handful of tofu, "Xianggeer, don't be angry, no matter how good the wine is, it can't compare with Xianggeer's finger head, haha..."

"I hate it~" Brother Xiang smiled charmingly and thumped Ming Fulai's chest carefully, then poured wine to feed Ming Fulai himself.

Not long after, the melodious vocal music stopped, and brother Lian with red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a pure temperament came out, sat on the other side of Ming Fulai, and said to Ming Fulai aggrievedly: "Master Fu, you only care about He Xiang You won’t forget Brother Lian when you’re chatting, right?”

"Master Fu, look, Brother Lian is jealous of my slave, do you want to comfort Brother Lian?" Xiang Geer leaned on Ming Fulai's arms, blinking his eyes.

"Haha, how could the master forget about you, Brother Lian?"

The two beauties were jealous of their rivalry, Ming Fulai was in a happy mood, he hugged left and right, and laughed.

"Then Fu, tell me, how does my family play the zither?" Brother Lian squinted his eyes, his expression seemed angry and sweet, which caused Ming Fulai to laugh again, "It sounds good, it sounds good, I have never heard such a good sound. Guzheng."

Although he knew that the other party was coaxing him to say that, Brother Lian was still very happy, his fair skin was stained with two layers of bright red, he poured a glass of wine for Ming Fulai, "Then Master Fu must come here often!"

"sure!"

Ming Fulai was persuaded to drink by Brother Xiang and Brother Lian from left to right. After a while, Ming Fulai smelled of alcohol, his chubby face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he already had symptoms of drunkenness.

Brother Lian said softly, "Master Fu, you don't seem to be very happy tonight? Who else in this small county can make you mad at Master Fu?"

"Nonsense, in this corner of the world, no one has yet been born who dares to anger Master Fu!" Ming Fulai narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Then why does Master Fu still look so preoccupied? Could it be that Master Fu despises the slave family and younger brother Lian? Are we not serving well?" Brother Xiang turned around and said.

"Brother Xiang misunderstood, I am very satisfied with you guys." Ming Fulai hurriedly coaxed, "Master Fu, I am just worried, there is still no letter from Shangjing to call us back, I don't know how long we will stay in this ghost place .”

Brother Xiang pouted and said: "Isn't it good to be here? Master Fu, you are majestic, who dares to oppose you, you are here, what you say is what you say, even the county magistrate dare not refute it! Why do you want to go back to Beijing? "

"You don't understand. What is this place? What is Shangjing? Can you compare it? Shangjing is the capital of the Son of Heaven and the most prosperous place in the Great Xia. What's more, even in Shangjing, there is no one there. Dare to provoke our second master!"

"Wow! Aren't you also very good, Mr. Fu?" The eyes of the two people lit up, and they talked non-stop as if they didn't need money for their compliments.

"Of course! Even if you are a fifth-rank official, you have to be respectful in front of Master Fu." Ming Fulai was praised all over his face. Although he is an inconspicuous lackey of the Ming family, he is also a high-ranking man who no one dares to mess with. Big dog.

However, I am used to the prosperous life of rich clothes and fine food, and if I stay in this ghost place, let alone the second master, even he misses the days when he followed the second master in Shangjing to do his best. Let them act recklessly, but it is a barren land after all, even if you are a local emperor, your life in Shangjing is not as good.

"Master Fu, then tell the slave family that if you make great achievements in suppressing the bandits, you can go to Beijing to accept the reward and become a high-ranking official?"

"Yeah, my family heard that the gang of bandits in Linjiang Biandao have done a lot of evil recently. It seems that if anyone can wipe out those bandits, they will be promoted to rank and become high-ranking officials! Is it true?"

The two beauties leaned in their arms and blinked at him full of curiosity, which made Ming Fulai even more elated, and he said complacently, "Not necessarily, it depends on whether you have someone in the court, otherwise, even if you fight the bandits to your death It’s a credit, maybe it’s for nothing to make the contract clothes for others.”

"So that's the case, Master Fu, you are so powerful, you even know this!"

"Yes, my family admires you so much, my family toasts you!"

"The slave family also respects you!"

"Ha ha……"

The candlelight is flickering, the figures are hazy, and the delicate and soft nong words slowly dissipate in the wind...

Ming Fulai stayed overnight in Chunfeng Building, and had a good night's dream.

When he woke up the next day, he thought that he still had something important to do, so he hurried to Ming Mansion.

After running all the way in a hurry, his fat and tired body broke out in a layer of sweat. When he returned to the Ming Mansion, he heard that the second master was losing his temper, so he hurried over to serve him before he had time to clean it up.

Bang!

As soon as Ming Fulai stepped on the threshold, the exquisite glaze vase shattered at his feet. Although he was a little startled, as the chief manager of the second master's family, he would not be easily scared.

Ming Fulai walked over without changing his expression, and bowed to please, "Second Master, hello! Who is this ignorance who has provoked Second Master to make you unhappy? Let the little one teach you a good lesson!"

"You are so majestic!" Ming Pengkun said with a gloomy face and a strange air.

"Look at what you said, second master, isn't the little one just playing tricks on the tiger?" Ming Fulai said earnestly.

As soon as Ming Fulai got closer, Ming Pengkun smelled the thick rouge on his body, and he sneered: "You live a happy life, you are gentle and soft, and you don't want to leave?" He didn't even think about having fun, his slave It's more chic than him.

When Ming Fu came to see Ming Pengkun's expression, he guessed the real reason for his unhappiness, so he asked, "Second Master, hasn't there been a message from Shangjing to let you go back?"

Ming Pengkun's expression was even more gloomy. He had been huddled in this ghostly place for more than half a year, and his father hadn't let him go back. The letter he sent didn't make a fuss, and there was only one sentence that made him think about it!

snort!How could he be wrong!It was just a moment of carelessness that caught the handle, and was bitten and attacked by the deadly rival Pan!

Ming Fulai's Xiaodou rolled his eyes, and he had an idea, "Second Master, don't worry, I have a way to make Second Master not only return to Beijing, but also return home with glory and honor, so that the empress and Xiangye will be proud of you!"

"Oh?" Ming Pengkun became interested when he heard it, "Let's talk about it."

"I heard that there are bandits rampant in Linjiang Road in the next county not far from here. If we wipe out those bandits, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Bandits?Ming Pengkun hesitated for a moment. He has only been interested in having fun since he was a child, and he has never done anything involving life-threatening.

Ming Fulai continued: "Second Lord, think about it, there are a few thieves who can only bluff, why are there so many thieves, why the government hasn't wiped it out yet, just look at the so-called yamen servants in the yamen."

His tone was contemptuous, obviously he didn't like the yamen servants composed of ordinary people in the yamen, and he turned to compliment, "But we are different, Ming Wei was carefully cultivated by the Prime Minister, and his skills are naturally not to mention, we have Ming Wei Ba People, beheading a few bandits is easy!"

Ming Pengkun felt that it was reasonable, he had no doubts in Ming Wei's ability, after thinking about it like this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan would work, so he laughed, patted Ming Fulai's shoulder appreciatively, and praised three good things in a row .

"Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, your brain is quite good! When the master returns, the master will reward you a lot!"

"Second Master's praise, I would like to thank Second Master for the great reward!" Ming Fulai bowed to him.

Ming Pengkun raised his head and laughed, and waved his hand, "Let Wang Zhigao organize his staff, and go to suppress the bandits with my master!"

Although the government servants in the county are full of soft shrimps, let them go with them, and it's not a bad idea to make meat pads then.

"Yes!

Ming Fulai took the order to retreat, then ordered his servants to pass on the message with a stern face, and hurriedly went to freshen up.

Being summoned by a nobleman, Wang Zhigao was not unhappy to come, although he was puzzled why he called Qi Yamen servants together, but regardless of the reason, just do it.

It's just that when I heard that the second master actually wanted to take them to suppress the bandits?

Wang Zhigao's legs softened, and he almost couldn't stand still. He wiped off his sweat, and said with a bitter face, "Second Master, the matter of suppressing bandits needs to be discussed in a long-term way!" Has it harmed other counties?

The fact that his decision was opposed by a mere ninth-rank county magistrate made Ming Pengkun immediately displeased.

Wang Zhigao didn't notice, and just continued: "The lower official is the county magistrate of Fengcheng County, not Linfeng County. If the lower official trades rashly and brings people there, isn't that crossing the line?"

This is a matter of losing the black hat!No matter how much Wang Zhigao wanted to be promoted, he didn't dare to reach out to take care of Linfeng County's affairs!

In the two adjacent counties, one is poor and the other is rich, even though they are both ninth-rank officials, he can't hold his head up at all in front of the county magistrate of Linfeng County.

Besides, no matter how he has no sense of existence, he has been a county magistrate for more than [-] years, and some gossips have been heard. The bandits on the Linjiang Road have been entrenched until now, and it is said that they have some unclear relationship with the higher-ups. , Er Ye is going to make trouble!

Wang Zhigao wanted to continue persuading, but Ming Pengkun stared at him coldly and said, "You just need to answer, go, or not?"

Wang Zhigao stared at Shangming Pengkun, and was terrified by the icy snake-like eyes, so he said clearly, if he dared not go, he didn't have to go out of Mingfu.

His legs softened, he fell to his knees, and tremblingly said: "It is the blessing of the subordinate to be able to serve the second master. I will go through fire and water, and the subordinate will not hesitate!" There might be a way out.

Only then did Ming Pengkun smile with satisfaction.

When Wang Zhigao saw that Ming Pengkun and the others went to suppress the bandits without making any preparations, he felt that it was a joke, but he didn't dare to say it outright. He mustered up his courage and said, "Second Master, it's almost noon today, so it's better to have a big day tomorrow." Let’s go early? It will take a day to drive from the Linjiang Riverside Road to the county seat, so let’s go there early tomorrow morning, rest for a night, get enough energy and go to suppress the bandits the next day, wouldn’t it be just right?”

Ming Fulai heard it, stepped forward and said, "Second Master, Mr. Wang's words are justified."

Ming Pengkun narrowed his eyes slightly, wishing that this matter could be resolved immediately so that he could leave for Beijing, but he also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, but, "Who dares to disclose this news..." What he wanted was to catch those bandits by surprise , defenseless.Whoever dares to spread the news is against Ming Pengkun!

Wang Zhigao hurriedly assured: "The next official must keep his mouth shut!"

……

On the smooth and winding official road, four or five hussars galloped past in an orderly manner, and quickly moved forward.

"Third Young Master, is the news confirmed? Master Pioneer has appeared here before?"

"There are rumors in Feiying that the place where my uncle last appeared was near Linfeng County. It can't be wrong."

"Great! Finally found Mr. Pioneer!"

"drive!"

The horse galloped past, flying a piece of light blue clothes.

The author has something to say: Ye Junshu: It is said that my official partner has appeared.
