Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 174 The Way of Governing the People
After leaving the city, the surrounding voices suddenly became noisy.

Fang Yao lifted the curtains around the carriage, looked around, and found that many people in the county were waiting at the gate of the city.

Most of them didn't have a carriage, so they could only hunched their shoulders and bowed their backs, with their hands crossed in their sleeves, and they gathered together to keep each other warm.

Even so, almost everyone's lips were black and blue from the cold.

As soon as they saw the Yamen's convoy coming out, they didn't have a big burden on their backs, and followed in twos and threes.

Fang Yao couldn't help muttering: "Are these people going to Qingshen Mountain with the Yamen team?"

Her voice was not loud at first, but Fan Chen outside quickly responded: "That's right, it's safer this way."

Thinking of the bandit villages that can be seen everywhere in Qingfeng County, Fang Yao fell silent.

Before she came here, she had heard that the neighboring villages in Qingfeng County usually form a group, as long as someone passes by, no matter who they are, as long as they don't know each other, they will be slaughtered as fat sheep.

Even if you are the bandit leader in another part of Qingfeng County, if you fall into the hands of other villages alone, it will be very unfortunate.

Even though most people in Qingfeng County have to go to Qingshen Mountain now, if there is an order on the way, there might be no one walking.

Therefore, even the locals are traveling together. In such a situation, they naturally wish to be with the team of the county government.

It's just that Fang Yao often suspects that people from Qingfeng County even dare to rob officials and family members from other places on the official road, and are they afraid of a small county government here?
Always feel something is wrong.

Thinking of the collusion between the post station and people from neighboring villages, she felt heavy in her heart.

Perhaps the biggest robber here...

Fang Yao's mind flashed the figure of Huangzhi County smashing the statue, and unconsciously frowned.

Although the latter's intention of blaming them was not very obvious, but it was almost the same. She really didn't understand what the purpose of Huangzhi County was.

Suddenly, she remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: "Is your hand okay?"

This time, after a short while, Fan Chen replied: "As I said, I have a hanging mirror, and these low-level things can't hurt me."

"Oh."

Fang Yao still hasn't figured out what's inside the statue, whether she can really see the so-called mountain god after smelling the stench...

Just as she, Ge You, was paralyzed in deep thought, Fan Chen's cold voice suddenly came from outside.

"Uncle, Madam is resting, what's the matter with you?"

Fang Yao hurriedly lifted the blanket and sat upright.

Outside, Huang Zhixian was about to open the curtains, but was a little at a loss when the servant who drove the car in front made a sudden noise.

He withdrew his hand silently, and squeezed a smile at Fan Chen: "I have something I want to talk to my lady about."

Fan Chen nodded, raised his voice and asked, "Ma'am, uncle is looking for you."

Fang Yao took a deep breath and replied, "Let him in."

Huang Zhixian froze for a moment, and turned his head involuntarily to look at a carriage in front of the team. The curtains of that carriage were lifted, and Sanniang was sticking her head out, looking in his direction.

He glanced back, dismounted, and got into the four-wheeled carriage.

As soon as Huang Zhixian came in, he was completely stunned.

This is the first time he has seen such a luxurious and spacious carriage. No matter the decorations and objects inside, you can tell that it is expensive just from the outside.

There are also mink velvet cloaks and fox fur cloaks hanging on the back, which can only be afforded by high-ranking officials and wealthy families.

He couldn't help frowning secretly, but there was no reaction on his face, he just said: "Madam, Sanniang is not in good shape these days, the carriage in our county government is very crude, and it is very uncomfortable to bump, if you are willing..."

"I don't want to."

Fang Yao didn't even think about it, so she frowned and refused, "Officer, have you forgotten? I don't like riding in the same car with others."

"Ah, this..."

Huang Zhixian was a little dumbfounded, obviously he really didn't know.

Fang Yao tried to make her emotions more real, and said with a sneer, "Oh, you really forgot, but after two years of separation, you completely forgot about me and defended that woman everywhere."

"But, I just..."

Fang Yao didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and snorted again: "I thought you went to Qingfeng County alone for the sake of the common people and Daxiang. I don't want to, but you are intoxicated with the gentleness every day. Do you remember at this time that you used to hang up every day? The way of governing the people on the lips?"

Huang Zhixian's expression froze, and he blurted out: "I remember! How could I not remember!"

Fang Yao's heart skipped a beat, but there was a hint of sarcasm on her face, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Then tell me, I want to see if you really remember it or fake it."

Huang Zhixian lowered his eyes slightly: "If you know it, benevolence cannot keep it; even if you gain it, you will lose it; if you know it, you can keep it; If you come to them and move them without courtesy, you are not kind.”

Fang Yao was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, trying to convert these obscure words into vernacular in her mind.

At the end of Huang Zhixian's speech, he clenched his fists and said every word: "Knowing, cultivating benevolence, Zhuang Lin, and Li Dong are the ways of governing the people that the teacher taught us every day."

Fang Yao froze.

Zhizhi, Xiuren, Zhuang Lin, Li Dong.

She kept these four words in her heart all the time. It turned out that what Huang Zhixian said just now meant these eight words!
She looked at Huang Zhixian on the front left with complicated eyes, who raised his head slightly, and looked at her with a pair of bloodshot pupils.

In those eyes, there was an emotion that she couldn't express, she seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

Fang Yao opened her mouth, "So, you really are..."

"Cough cough."

Fan Chen's voice came, "What's the matter with you?"

A strange man said: "San Niang said that there is an urgent matter to find the adults."

Huang Zhixian got up quickly and left in a hurry.

Fang Yao sat with her back straight for a while before she suddenly realized, moved to the front, lowered her voice and said excitedly: "Did you hear that, did you hear it? He knows that sentence!"

"Well, but..."

Fan Chen said slowly, "Actually, in the current situation, even if he is the real gold, he still can't fully believe it."

Fang Yao paused, thinking of the current situation in Qingfeng County and Huang Zhi County's weird behavior, it was indeed very confusing.

But since this is the case, Huangzhi County should also know that her identity is fake, but why didn't she expose it?

She couldn't help but fell silent again.

outside.

The team going to Qingshen Mountain grew stronger and stronger.

A hundred miles, whether it is long or not, is not short.

If the road is easy to walk and people are energetic, it will only take five or six hours.

Just outside Qingfeng County, there is thick snow outside.

Let alone people, horses struggle to walk.

But the day after tomorrow is the mountain god patrol meeting, and everyone is not so anxious.

And in the carriage in front.

Sanniang lifted the curtain, took the initiative to move aside, and at the same time stretched out her arms, gently pulling Huang Zhixian over.

"Master, did you tell her?"

"Yes, she disagrees."

"So what if you don't agree, you know, you are not a real couple..."

As Sanniang said, she noticed that Huang Zhixian's expression was not very good-looking, so she took his arm again, leaned her head on his shoulder intimately, and said softly: "I know you have concerns in your heart, so let them go first." It’s better to go to the mountain, anyway, they can’t get out of the mountain alive.”
