Chapter 75 Tofu
Wuliang City, Sheriff's Mansion.

A ride gallops to.

Before the horse stopped, the guard who reported the letter had gotten off his horse and rushed over, "You two, is Master Fan, the county guard, in the mansion now?"

Shhh!
The guards of the Sheriff's Mansion quickly came up to him, "Keep your eyes open, what is this place? You dare to yell, you don't want to do it anymore, do you?"

The visitor didn't bother to explain: "It's an emergency. A caravan at the west gate has killed more than a dozen gate guards, and it looks like they're going to attack the gate. Report it to the governor."

The guard was startled, asked about the situation half-believingly, and then led him into the Sheriff's Mansion.

"The county guard is busy, and he is discussing important matters with the county lieutenant and the inspector. You wait, I will report first."

The county guard is in charge of politics, the county lieutenant is in charge of the army, and the supervisor is in charge of discipline. The three parties perform their duties and restrict each other. They should not appear together at the same time.

However, no matter whether it was the guards who came to report the letter or the guards in front of the Sheriff's Mansion, they were not surprised, and no one had any objections.

The guards entered the main courtyard, walked around the pavilions, and soon found Fan Gaopeng, the prefect who was concentrating on it.

The water in the spring is icy cold.

Fan Junshou's ten fingers were already white from the cold, and even slightly wrinkled, but they remained motionless.

Holding a carving knife, he meticulously groped and manipulated the water dish in front of him, preparing to carve the tofu in the water into a flying phoenix.

Not long after, the work was nearly completed, and the phoenix was carved lifelike.

Fan Gaopeng looked around carefully to see if there were any mistakes or omissions.

The guard who came in to report the letter did not dare to make a sound, so he had to wait patiently and obediently by the side.

After a while, the county lieutenant on one side slicked his long beard in satisfaction.

"Brother Fan's craftsmanship is amazing, it's really amazing. This bird is so lifelike, it looks like a real phoenix, it's amazing."

The supervisor also applauded frequently.

"Your Majesty's engraving is getting better and better. It seems that the birthday gift can be prepared before the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. Your Majesty now rules the world with benevolence and filial piety. As long as this birthday gift is presented, the Empress Dowager's heart will be full of joy. When the Sheriff My lord will have a bright future, and every step of the way is just around the corner.”

Haha.

"You two are exaggerating." Fan Gaopeng laughed heartily.

"In such a huge empire, there are countless skilled craftsmen from all over the country. It is really hard to predict what kind of rare treasures will appear on the birthday of the Empress Dowager. No matter what the future or promotion is, it is impossible to count. It is impossible to count now. .”

Even so, the pride on his face was not concealed in the slightest.

The inspector shook his hand, with a full face of not daring to agree.

"What can't be counted?"

"The entire Yunchui has a total of thirty counties. The birthday gifts offered by other county guards may be rare and precious, but they were all found by his subordinates, which is somewhat lacking in sincerity. It is not like this phoenix, Master Fan himself gave it to the Queen Mother in his busy schedule. Carved. Just based on this point, Lord Fan's filial piety to the queen mother is already many times higher than other county guards."

Haha.

Fan Gaopeng laughed again.

"I hope so."

"Yunchui's thirty counties are divided into ten lower counties, ten middle counties and ten upper counties."

"Fan has been in this foggy ghost place for more than four years. He suffered from rheumatism all over his body. There is no credit but hard work. I hope that when the five-year term expires next year, His Majesty can change his position. I don't want ten high-ranking counties. Just move to any medium county."

The county lieutenant and the inspector nodded, curiously said: "The tofu at present is just a carver after all. The birthday gift dedicated to the Queen Mother must at least be a silver phoenix. I wonder if Mr. Fan has enough money?"

They looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"The governor of the county is Qinggui, if Lord Fan doesn't save enough money for a while, just open your mouth. We are all here in Misty County to serve His Majesty and Yunchui, so we should help each other."

Fan Gaopeng nodded gratefully, "If necessary, speak to the two brothers."

Several people laughed and said a few more words, and Fan Gaopeng stopped in satisfaction.

The butler quickly brought warm tea to warm his hands.

"Housekeeper." Fan Gaopeng called him, "The tofu of this tofu Xishi is getting better and better. It feels thin and slippery. Remember to call her to the sheriff's mansion tonight, and the sheriff will reward her well."

The butler agreed, and then he told the news from the door.

Fan Gaopeng and the three were startled.

Someone angrily killed more than a dozen defenders at the west gate?

And they are planning to attack the city gate?
Snapped!
The county lieutenant was furious: "Troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers. How could this be an illiterate lunatic, who dared to kill me under the blue sky and broad daylight. I really don't know how to live or die."

He stared: "Why didn't you report it earlier?"

The butler murmured and dared not speak.

Cough!

Fan Gaopeng took over this embarrassing question.He carefully asked the soldier who reported the letter a few words, and was a little puzzled.

"No matter how arrogant the rascals are, they should know that Wuliang is the capital of Misty County. How dare you threaten to attack the city with only [-] people? If it's not that they are confused, it's because your guards have offended someone who can't be offended."

The county lieutenant snorted coldly.

"There is nothing in the west. Who can be offended in a place where the birds don't shit? Unless the Xiliang people hit the Misty County. But it's impossible, Yanzhen Fortress is not vegetarian..."

As they spoke, the faces of the Big Three gradually became ugly.

They glanced at each other, sweat dripping down their backs.

Ancient communication was extremely backward.

The imperial capital issued an imperial decree, and a year and a half later, small remote places may not have received the news.

But those who don't receive the news are usually insignificant civilians, like the county guards, county lieutenants, and inspectors, the princes of one side or the history of the frontier must be clear.

Yanfeng Fortress, send spirits back home!

Eight big characters flooded into the heads of the three of them at once.

They all shivered.

"Prepare the horses. Quick!"

Fan Gaopeng didn't care about tidying himself up, and rushed out the front door.

West Gate.

The moment the Xingluo flag was unfurled, people kneeled on the ground outside the city.

Ren Ning got on his horse.

"Fortress soldiers!" He yelled, "There are city guards who dare to close the gates to prevent the troops from passing through, what should we do!"

call!
The 25 riders behind got on their horses together, picked up their long lances or machetes, and aimed at the thin-looking city gate in front of them.

"Don't, don't!"

The guards at the top of the city were startled and shouted at the colleagues below: "Are you courting death? Open the city gate."

"Open the city gates!"

Otherwise, the opponent would dare to break in and kill all the guards on the top of the city.

Squeak!
The West City Gate opened again.

There were even a few eye-catching guards who turned their backs without hesitation, and directly swarmed up to grab their top striker Qi Liangren, and put them in front of Ren Ning and his party.

"You...you can't kill me indiscriminately."

Qi Liangren was sweating like rain, but his mouth was sharp.

"Qi is the captain of the city guard, and you are the border guards. We don't belong to the same system. Even if I make any mistakes, it will be punished by the local county captain, not your fortress."

"As for closing the city gate to prevent the passage of spirits returning home, that was not my order, but the subordinates closed it to prevent accidents. It really has nothing to do with me. All the fortress soldiers should investigate clearly, don't Killing a good man by mistake!"

"Lieutenant Qi, don't worry," Ren Ning smiled kindly, "I've never killed people indiscriminately."

He dismounted and took a few steps, and picked up an arrow that had just been shot from the pool of blood.

"The targets of these arrows are those of us soldiers who send their souls back to their hometowns. It's really bold. I want to know who ordered the arrows to be released?"

"I can hear clearly. It's him, Qi Liangren." A commoner shouted nearby.

"It's him. No one can mishear his male-female voice."

When the little soldiers escorting Qi Liangren saw Ren Ning pick up the arrow, they already knew something was wrong.

Upon hearing this, one by one decisively pointed their fingers at Qi Liangren.

"You!" Qi Liangren, who had betrayed his relatives, was trembling with anger.

"Lei Er!" Ren Ning yelled, "Qi Liangren ordered to attack our team of sending the soul back to his hometown. The evidence is solid. Kill!"

flutter.

Lei Er spat out the bones in his mouth, flipped the machete in his hand, and chopped down with great force.

Seeing that Lei Er was really coming, the guards guarding Qi Liangren didn't dare to stay at all, and rushed to both sides.

After all, Qi Liangren is a general, and he has some kung fu.

He didn't care about the head of his brother-in-law resting beside him, he rolled abruptly, barely dodging Lei Er's long knife.

How dare you embarrass my master?

The red horse Ben Lei was furious, rushed over and kicked hard with his front legs.

Ah!
Is the speed of the war horse that ordinary people can react to?

Qi Liangren couldn't dodge any longer, screamed, and was kicked high by Ben Lei on the spot.

brush!
The light of the knife passed by.

Lei Er was not surprised at all, he slashed at Qi Liangren who was in the air, cutting him in half instantly.

"Leave people under the knife!"

At this time, a voice came from afar in the city.
