Governor please stay

Chapter 5 Snakes, Insects, Rats and Ants Before the Earthquake

In a simple courtyard in Xiuwenfang, Luoyang City, Cui Jiong was sitting at a stone table, holding a copy of "Book of Changes" in his hand, reading it with relish.

After a while, he put down the book and let out a sigh of relief.

"What a dilemma."

Cui Jiong sighed.

He originally wanted to go to Liu Yishou, but then he remembered the angry words he said that day, did he really want to be a beast?
"Idle around all day, don't work and don't stay in the medical clinic. You don't even read medical books at home. You spend all day studying yin and yang numerology. I think you are homesick!"

A familiar and majestic voice came from behind, it was his father Cui Jingzhe.

"Father, how can I be fine?"

Cui Jiong asked Cui Jingzhe to sit down with a playful smile, and then kneaded Cui Jingzhe's shoulders.

Cui Jingzhe's stiff face softened. Although he often had the urge to hang Cui Jiong to death, who made him the only son in this generation?

Beat this bastard to death, who will inherit the family?

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite.If a man is lustful and has many heirs, he needs to separate the family. If he is not lustful, he might be an only child again. It is too difficult for a man.

"You run around all day, what the hell are you trying to do, huh? If you keep messing around like this, I'll let you go back to the old house in Qinghe County!"

Cui Jingzhe said angrily.

"Father, medical skills can't save many people in troubled times. Chaos is approaching. My son, I'm planning to go back to the old house and study behind closed doors for a few years."

Eh?
Cui Jingzhe was taken aback for a moment, then he touched his long beard involuntarily, and his tone softened a bit: "Well, that's not the case. Although you like to mess around, you don't cause any trouble on weekdays.

If you don't want to practice medicine, you can also become an official. A man should not be depressed and lazy because of a little thing.It's not too late to go back to the ancestral house and face the wall to think about your mistakes one day when you get into a big disaster. "

Cui Jingzhe wanted to talk at length about the difference between healing the country and the sick, Cui Jiong quickly interrupted: "Father, do you believe that there is such a thing as the resurrection of the dead?"

Cui Jiong said mysteriously: "I recently saw a person's face, obviously this person should have died young, but now he is alive and kicking. Tell me, what's going on?"

Cui Jingzhe obviously didn't expect his son to say that.He pondered for a moment, pointed to the stone bench opposite the stone table and said, "Sit down and talk."

"This man's name is Liu Yishou, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like stars, his brows are sharp, his body is eight feet long..."

I see something wrong with you!

Sensing that Cui Jiong seemed to have some kind of bad tendency, Cui Jingzhe patted the stone table impatiently, interrupted Cui Jiong and said, "Don't talk nonsense, get to the point."

"No, it's just such a person who looks a little better than me. When I first met, I found that this person's face showed that he should die early. But this guy is alive and well now, and I look at his face again. , I can't see anything else."

Cui Jiong was a little discouraged.

If you just look a little better than you, how can you fall into your "dharma eye".Cui Jingzhe is extremely confident in his son's aesthetics.

Some people obviously don't look very good, but their appreciation level is extremely high, such as Cui Jiong.

"When a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers."

Cui Jingzhe shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Today's court meeting, the emperor and the empress dowager actually quarreled, and the conflict has become public. I'm afraid that there may be unexpected events in Wei Guo..."

Emperor Yuanxu is 17 years old this year, and it is time for him to imitate Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong and show his ambitions.

However, the Empress Dowager Hu not only had a rough private life and promiscuous court affairs, but also liked to interfere in the government affairs.Many courtiers have great opinions on Queen Mother Hu.

The Northern Wei Dynasty established the country, in order to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power, there was a tradition that "the mother is expensive and dies".That is to say, when the prince is established as the prince, his biological mother will be executed immediately to prevent his relatives from being raised.

Of course, this rule was later broken, but the "remaining prestige" is still there.

To some extent, Queen Mother Hu has nothing she dared not do. After all, legally speaking, she should be a dead person now.

"Now the government is controlled by the Empress Dowager's people, and the emperor only has a few close confidants at his disposal.

If I were the Son of Heaven, I would definitely send my confidantes to border towns in private to lead the border troops into King Qin of Luoyang. "

Cui Jiong said in a deep voice, not seeing the usual laughter.

Cui Jingzhe was taken aback, he didn't expect his only son to say what he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to say it.

"It seems that my father underestimated you."

"I made a fortune yesterday, and the hexagram said that the place where I am now is a dangerous wall.

I'm thinking about it, except that the frontier army entered Luohu to do something wrong, and it's true that Queen Mother Hu, who has already controlled the overall situation in Luoyang, has any reason to kill.

This Luoyang is not a place to stay for a long time, why not go back to the ancestral house with the baby today to avoid disaster. "

Cui Jiong persuaded his father Cui Jingzhe.

"I am a courtier, you must not leave lightly, you can go now."

"father!"

"Shut up. If something happens to my father, there will be no shortage of father in the big Cui family, and there will be no hindrance to reproduction. As a father, I am very relieved of you. If you feel ashamed to go back to the ancestral house, it is not a problem to go to your uncle's house in Yecheng to avoid disaster."

Go back to my hometown in Qinghe County, or go to my uncle Cui Xiu's house?This does not seem to be a difficult choice.

Cui Jiong thought for a while, nodded and said, "I'm going to say goodbye to my friend, let's set off for Yecheng today."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since the situation is not good, it is best to run away, and there is nothing shameful.

……

Many days passed, and the temple's fast food became more and more popular. After gaining a foothold, Liu Yishou also planned to take Xiao Yezi to live in the temple, and then sell the land in Luoyang, preparing to run away.

On this day, Liu Yishou, who had sold out his vegetarian meal, walked to the farm in the outskirts, intending to return to his "home", but what he was thinking about was the problem he had ignored before.

That benefactor looks quite embarrassed. However, a guy who has land in the outskirts of Luoyang and has not been annexed, no matter how embarrassed he is, how can he be embarrassed?
I'm afraid it's a little private.

When he was about to reach the farm, he saw a group of children gathered outside the yard, throwing dirt through the fence.

"Little Yezi, you're a bastard!"

The leading child laughed and cursed.

Liu Yishou watched calmly, wanting to see what these kids were up to.

"Your family is wild."

The little leaf in the yard scolded sharply back.

"When your mother came to your house, she had a big belly. She ran away after giving birth to you! You are a bastard that no one wants."

"Your family is wild."

Xiao Yezi in the yard cursed back sharply again.

Liu Yishou, who was hiding from the side to watch the fun, almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Little Ye Zi, you are just a child without a father or a mother."

Children's words are unscrupulous, children's words often hurt people more, whoever said that human nature is good, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, it started from childhood.

"Your family is wild."

The stubborn voice came from the yard again.

This woman really has the essence of the art of war. I don't care how many ways you come, I will only go all the way.Xiao Yezi insisted on the sentence "Your family is all wild species", which made the group of scolding children helpless.

"Who's child is so rude, go and call your parents."

Liu Yishou walked over, facing a large group of poor children in rough linen clothes with many patches on them, without any stage fright.

Hanging the horizontal knife that Chen Yuankang gave him before, Liu Yishou felt that facing these brats and their parents, he should be more courageous than Zhao Zilong.

The saber itself is a symbol of status. Even if you have no power to restrain the chicken, and the order has not collapsed, the farmers at the bottom of the society will not dare to touch you.

"You guys wait, I'll go back and ask my dad to clean you up!"

The kid who was the leader ran away after uttering harsh words, and the other followers scattered like birds and beasts.

A down-and-out person may not necessarily sympathize with the unlucky guy who is in the same situation as him, but sometimes he will find a sense of superiority in the other party.

I have real parents, you are a bastard, this is the sense of superiority.A sense of superiority begets pleasure, as it has always been.

"Brother! They bullied me and said they wanted to arrest me and be a child bride!"

Seeing Liu Yishou approaching, Xiao Ye Zi opened the door and threw herself into his arms, crying.

The world of children is also very complicated.

Liu Yishou felt emotional in his heart, he looked at Xiao Ye Zi's teary face, and felt more and more strange.

What the boy who scolded just now is very likely to be true!

Think of that benefactor with a hulking back, strong limbs, rough skin, and facial features... quite bold and unrestrained.

He shouldn't be able to give birth to a little girl with big eyes and small lips like Xiaoye, who is just a little shriveled due to malnutrition.

After two lives, Liu Yishou felt that if Xiao Yezi took good care of her, she would be a graceful beauty with "weak bones and strong muscles" in the future.

There are probably some stories here!

For a moment, Liu Yishou's mind was filled with Engong's appearance of licking a dog back then.

"I will raise his child."

"Go away, you are not worthy to raise his children."

"Then... I'll take his surname, so it's all right?"

……

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Liu Yishou looked at the messy courtyard, and there were things that looked like cow dung scattered around, filled with a natural smell.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Engong has been buried in the yard, and Liu Yishou has long wanted to live here. Now, it is time to leave, permanently.

"Don't take the things in the house away unless you can, and don't come back in the future. Anyway, your father is also buried in the yard, so let's treat it as if he is still living here alone.

In the future, we will temporarily live in Shengming Temple. "

The law and order here is not good, and the neighbors are not very friendly. It is better to go back to the temple to avoid it.When you get the degree certificate, leave Luoyang quickly. This is a place of wrongdoing, and it's not a joke.

Of course Liu Yishou knew who Li Chong was, and Chen Yuankang was even more familiar. Unfortunately, he didn't want to stir up trouble in this era.The closer you are to someone like Chen Yuankang, the sooner you will die.

Li Chong claimed to be the last real pillar of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not a "seemingly loyal" careerist like Er Zhurong.

This pillar fell down two years ago, and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the capital of Luoyang, had no cure. It is better to leave as soon as possible.

The imminent Heyin Rebellion, although the history books say that only more than 2000 courtiers were killed.But its aftermath has spread to every class in Luoyang, and it is a glimpse in the history books, which occasionally reveals its glory.

Don't think that you will be fine if you are not an official.At that time, the order collapsed, no matter whether you were a noble daughter of a family or a grandson of a prince, if you were caught by mobs, you would die.

The so-called "thugs" can be anyone, as long as they beat you.

"By the way, little leaf, what's your name?"

"The little leaf is called the little leaf."

The poor little girl in front of her said so.

It appears that the adopted orphan did not run away.

"In the future when people ask you, just say that your name is Liu Xiaoye, and I'm your own brother, you know?"

"Little Ye Zi knows."

"Wherever I go in the future, you will follow me, you know?"

"Little Ye Zi only listens to Big Brother."

Liu Yishou always felt that this child was weird, as if she had an inexplicable sense of maturity, although she spoke childishly.He went to the house and took all the copper coins with him, took some old clothes of Xiao Yezi, Liu Yishou took Xiao Yezi and left quietly.

……

"Little brother, the skin is tender."

In front of the east gate of Luoyang, a school lieutenant whom he had never seen before, wearing the red crotch armor of the forbidden army, whose attire was very different from that of the city gate officials, stopped Liu Yishou who was about to enter the city.

Although the Shengming Temple is very close to the city gate, it is still a temple in the city, unlike the White Horse Temple, which is located outside the city.

"What's so special about this general?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile on his face.

"Well, there is a good thing now, brother seems to be in good condition, but I don't know if he is talented, so come with us.

Maybe you'll have to thank me when it's done. "

The red-armored captain looked at Liu Yishou with a half-smile, his eyes full of deep meaning and imperceptible contempt.

His words reminded Liu Yishou of such legends as "XX Happy Ball" and "XX Happy Fire".

Sure enough, a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of being pregnant, and there are many worries about being too handsome.

"What are you going to do? If you arrest my brother, you are the bad guys.

My brother said that when a man stands in the world, he must hoe the strong and help the weak, and there is absolutely no reason to bully the weak. "

Xiao Yezi stopped in front of the Red Armored Captain, and spoke eloquently, articulate, not in the old "repeater" mode.

Her expression and demeanor undoubtedly reminded this official officer of the Imperial Army of the useless children at home.

If Liu Yishou were captured, this thin little girl would definitely die.

Everyone has a heart to love their houses and black people, and the trouble with Liu Yishou is just because...he is so good-looking, maybe the queen mother will like it very much.

Of course, they are here today under martial law not to find a face for the Queen Mother, but for a more important matter and a more important person.

There is no need to grow branches.

"Search and search him to see if there is a bloody coat on his body."

The captain of the red armor said in a dejected manner, it was completely routine.After all, the person to be arrested can only go out of the city, not into the city.

Not surprisingly, Liu Yishou had nothing on his body, not even a few copper coins. The only valuable thing was the horizontal knife that Chen Yuankang gave him, but it was just an ordinary item, not a magic weapon.

The soldiers of the imperial army who were like wolves like tigers wanted to search Xiao Yezi's body, but the captain in red armor kicked away the imperial army who was about to attack.

"Have you no brains, the bloody clothes will be on a little girl? Did you eat too much in the morning?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yishou walked up to Xiao Yezi, groped her body for a while, and then said to Captain Red Armor, "Look, there really isn't one."

The imperial guard who was kicked to the ground cast a grateful look at him.

"Yes, this brother is very particular about his work. Just go there. You two don't need to be inspected when you go out of the city. My surname is Yu, and you can call me Xiaowei Yu."

Yu Xiaowei waved his hand, signaling Liu Yishou and Xiao Yezi to leave quickly.

After entering the city, Liu Yishou's heart sank to the bottom.Obviously, in such a short time when he was out of the city, a major event happened in Luoyang City, and what "blood clothes" are, it is not a good thing at first glance.

When he came to Shengming Temple, he saw two monks guarding the door with sticks. The atmosphere was completely different from the laziness of the past.
