Chapter 76

drive……

The horseshoes galloped, and also brought up the yellow sand all over the sky, and went straight to the distance.

In the morning of the next day, Wang Kuo had already left the capital with a group of people, heading straight for Fengping County, which is nearly a hundred miles away.

Originally, he planned to leave on the same day, but considering the distance of nearly a hundred miles, and looking at the sky that was about to darken, wouldn't it be a night's journey to set off now?
He didn't care, but he couldn't suffer for his subordinates, and besides, it wasn't too urgent, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, and led the team out after a night.

There are more than 100 people in this team, Wang Kuo walked first, followed closely by Ji Ce, Wu Qianhu, and four soldiers, and then followed closely by a team of a hundred households .

Wang Kuo took so many people out for a trip because he wanted to be available, not because he was afraid of being assassinated, um, definitely not because of this.

Thanks to his status as the governor of Nanzhen Fusi, he was able to go directly out of the city to handle errands.

Because if it is based on the eunuch's status, let alone the capital, it would be difficult for him to leave the palace.

Along the way, the horse rushed on, and the hundred-mile journey only barely stepped into the territory of Fengping County at Shenshi that afternoon.

call...

Wang Kuo pulled his horse to a halt, turned around and made arrangements: "Ji Ce led four of his own soldiers into the city with me, and the others set up camp where they were. Wu Qianhu sent a small group of banner men and horses into the city in plain clothes to inquire about news."

"Yes!" Several people who were named responded respectfully.

drive……

After asking where Di Bo was, Wang Kuo clamped his legs around the horse's belly and left with a whip.

driving...

Ji Ce and the others also hurriedly followed after him.

Although Fengping County is not far from the capital, there is a huge gap between the two. Simply put, one is like a first-tier city, while the other is at most a fourth-tier city.

Riding on horseback along the way, after not far from Fengping County, several people also slowed down one after another, enjoying the atmosphere of this small county.

Fengping County is not small, and the city gate is four or five meters high. The huge and heavy gate is wide open, and six officials stand on both sides to check the people entering and leaving.

Fengping County may seem small, but its geographical location is very important. It can be regarded as a transit point between the capital city and the southwest region.

Because there is only this county town in the surrounding hundred miles, the merchants who come and go will take a rest here, so the economy of the county has developed very well over time.

At this time, there was an endless stream of merchants at the gate of the city, and the queuing had already gone more than ten meters away. Although it was still far from being able to compare with the capital city, it was not bad for a county to have such a flow of people.

However, although Wang Kuo and the others slowed down after approaching the gate of the city, none of them got off their horses and walked, which also made the officials who had seen them frown.

"The comers stop and don't get off their horses at the gate of the city?"

I saw one of the officials lined up at the door, swaggering in front of Wang Kuo and the others with an ugly face.

Because as usual, as long as he stops like this, those riders will definitely stop, so he is not afraid at all.

Because when he stood here wearing this skin, he represented the government and the country, so as long as he didn't want to be accused of rebellion, no one would dare to be presumptuous.

Sure enough, just as he guessed, under his gaze, those people slowly slowed down their pace, which made him unable to bear a sneering smile.

"Xiao Mian, do you know how to be honest now? It's too late, don't think about it if you don't have dozens of taels of silver today."

He who was thinking happily in his heart didn't notice at all that Wang Kuo and the others didn't get off their horses at all, but came to him on horseback. When he came back to his senses, he saw a black shadow suddenly It's like drawing it yourself.

Snapped……

A whip was whipped fiercely, Wang Kuo showed no mercy, and even showed a disdainful smile on his face.

"What the hell, I'm here to find trouble. Since you are willing to hit the gun, I'm sorry for your arrogance if I don't fulfill you."

While thinking about it, Wang Kuo raised his whip and whipped it again.

Snapped!
There was another crisp voice, which made the merchants who were watching from a distance feel their hearts tremble, "This Nima, this brother is not a tiger, is he?"

Those who dare to recruit officials in public, do you think they are tigers or tigers?
"Oh, bastard, you can't do anything if you want to rebel, come on, come on..."

Snapped!
Hearing the official scolding, Wang Kuo frowned, and stretched out his hand to whip down again.

He wanted to see if it was this guy's stubborn mouth or his own whip.

"A daring lunatic, dare to attack an officer in the street, and still not get off his horse and plead guilty." Hearing the officer's shout, several officers at the gate came to their senses, and hurriedly drew their weapons from their waists and surrounded them.

However, although these people shouted fiercely, they couldn't help but frown. They really didn't dare to go forward to such fierce people, so they shouted from a distance.

"Hmph, my official, Wang Kuo, is an official of Nanzhen Fusi Town Fushi, a majestic fourth-rank official, but you dare to block my way and speak rudely to me. Is it because I am easy to bully?"

Wang Kuo yelled angrily, and threw his badge casually, falling far in front of the group of officials.

Several officials looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat.

Jin Yiwei?They have heard of it, but they have never seen it, which is why they don't recognize Wang Kuo, who is wearing a royal guard uniform.

One of them hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the waist card, and saw that the waist card was heavy, made of brass, with the three characters of Zhen Fu Shi engraved on the front, and the pattern of a dragon and the three characters of Jin Yiwei on the back.

The dragon represents the royal family, and the dragon is the pattern that Zhu Yu gave to the Jinyiwei. It is a metaphor that they are the soldiers of the emperor. From this, it can be seen how much Zhu Yu attaches importance to the Jinyiwei.

Several officials looked at each other in dismay, they had never seen Jin Yiwei, let alone Jin Yiwei's badge?
But soon they chose to believe in Wang Kuo's identity.

First of all, although Wang Kuo's official uniform is different from the normal fourth-rank military officer, and also from other military military uniforms, if you look carefully, you will find that the overall style of this official uniform can still be seen. The characteristics of official uniforms.

Moreover, it is now a peaceful period not many years after the founding of the country, and it is not necessarily true that some people dare to pretend to be ministers of the country.

So when these officials chose to believe it, and looked at the beaten corporal again, they couldn't help showing a look of gloating.

It's really hard to blame others for committing suicide.Relying on the fact that someone in his family is an official in the Yamen, this guy has always been very arrogant, and his subordinates have disliked him for a long time.

Figured this out, several officials hurriedly saluted.

"The little one has blind eyes, but I still hope that the adults will forgive me."

"Well, those who don't know are not guilty. As for this guy, hehe, let's take those few whips as a way to teach him to be a man." Seeing the resentment in the eyes of the beaten official, Wang Kuo hummed twice calmly: " Go and take him down, so as not to obstruct Lao Tzu's eyes."

"Yes, my lord." The few people naturally did not dare to object, they hurriedly and consciously stepped forward to help the official servant who had fallen on the ground, and silently watched Wang Kuo and his men ride into the city arrogantly.

The first rank of the official ranks crushes people to death, and a small corporal guarding the city gate is nothing but a thing of no rank. To be honest, he will be beaten if he fights.

He was just looking for trouble, so he had no psychological pressure at all.

Wang Kuo, who rode on the street and found someone to vent his anger on.I also feel that my mood has improved a lot, and I am in the mood to appreciate the scenery and buildings here.

"My lord, Di Bo lives in the Penglai Inn in front."

Ji Ce pointed at Wang Kuo's side at the inn road at the end of the street.

"Come on, let's also go to the inn to rest for a day, and go to the workshop tomorrow." Wang Kuo waved his hand.

Soon a few people came to Penglai Inn. Under the warm and respectful invitation of the waiter, Wang Kuo and the others came to the innermost room on the third floor.

"Sir, why are you here?"

When Di Bo saw Wang Kuo for the first time, he still couldn't believe it. He didn't say he would come, did he?Are you dissatisfied with your job?
That's right, I haven't completed the task assigned by the adults, so the adults will make a trip in person.

Thinking of this, Di Bo couldn't help showing a sincere and fearful expression, which made Wang Kuo frowned secretly, wondering in his heart: "What's the matter? Is it because I don't welcome you?"

Thinking in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, he said: "I heard that you have encountered some troubles here, and it didn't work to mention the official, so the official came to meet him."

"My lord, please come in. It's because my subordinates are not doing well, so please punish me."

Seeing that Wang Kuo didn't blame him, Di Bo recovered slightly.Only then did he realize that the lord was still at the door, so he couldn't help but hastily moved aside, and stretched out his hand to beg.

"Well, let's talk about the blame after the incident, you should tell me first, what's going on?" Walking into the room, Wang Kuo waved his hand and sat down at the table.

As for Di Bo and Ji Ce, they could only stand aside obediently.

Di Bo glanced at Ji Ce indiscriminately, and saw that this guy shook his head slightly at him, so he felt relieved, and quickly explained to Wang Kuo.

Following Di Bo's explanation and narration, after he understood what had happened, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.

It turned out that everything went smoothly at the beginning, and there was no trouble in approving a land deed, and the procedure was simply completed.

And with Di Bo running around, a group of construction workers soon came to the wasteland and started working day and night.

A "workshop" with a very large area also began to take shape.

Well, it is said to be a workshop, but it is actually a very large villa.

In Wang Kuo's words, it must be big and secretive, so... the security work is also very important.

But what Di Bo didn't expect was that when the villa was about to be built, a group of officials came here in time.

Ingeniously set up a name to collect all kinds of taxes that you can think of, and you can't think of them.

Don't give it, the villa is almost completed, and the initial investment is so much, it can't be withdrawn now, right?
But give it, a few hundred taels of silver are thrown in, and there is no sound. This is another round of tax collection...

Forced to helplessness, and there is nothing shameful about the current workshop, Di Bo can only push Wang Kuo out, hoping that these bastards can calm down a bit.

As a result, these bastards calmed down for a short time, but this matter also spread to the yamen of Fengping County, and following the words of the county magistrate, the unfinished workshop was sealed.
