There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 10
[Ps: There are a few martial arts masters in this book, but there are no love and hatred, martial arts sects, etc.]

"Having said that, you still have to be prepared."

Tang Ju said: "The envoy specifically stated in the official document that the customs, prison litigation, registration accounts, three diseases, mulberry and hemp, taxation, taxation, post offices, warehouses, thieves, river embankments, roads, etc. must be done well. Be prepared for Princess Lanling’s surprise inspection.”

Tang Ju put down the documents, stood up, looked at the county magistrate and others, and said solemnly: "Princess Lanling has set out from the capital, and she can reach Youzhou in more than ten days at the fastest."

"In the near future, please work hard and sort out all the affairs of our yamen, and make sure no mistakes are exposed. Otherwise, you and I will not be able to bear the thunderous wrath of Princess Lanling."

The county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the county lieutenant all stood up together, bowed and said: "Please rest assured, Mingfu, we will do our best!"

Tang Ju nodded slowly.

"In fact, there is no need to be too nervous." The county captain smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty is wise. Although it has only been in charge of Leshou County for half a year, our Leshou County has already been governed by officials during the Qingming Festival and does not pick up things on the road. Even if Princess Lanling makes a surprise inspection, there will not be too much Big question.”

"Young Master's words make sense!" the chief clerk said with a smile.

The so-called "Shaofu" is the honorific title given to the county captain.

"Yes, I actually forgot about this. We just need to be careful and treat it as if it's no big deal." The county magistrate also laughed.

Half a year ago, Tang Ju came to Leshou County to serve as an official. After some management, it was indeed quite effective.

The county captain's words were not entirely complimentary.

But suddenly, Tang Ju remembered something, his smile gradually disappeared, and he shouted: "It's broken!"

"What's wrong?!" The county magistrate, chief registrar, county lieutenant, etc. were all stunned.

"Everyone, have you forgotten that group of bandits?"

"Mountain...bandit..." Everyone's expressions changed.

"That group of bandits has been gathering in the mountains and forests for more than a year. Yingzhou and Cangzhou have jointly launched sieges several times, but they can't be wiped out... What if when Princess Lanling passes by Yingzhou, the bandits come down from the mountain and cause trouble..."

Tang Ju couldn't speak any more.

If this incident really happens, it is not impossible for Princess Lanling to get rid of all the officials in Yingzhou and Cangzhou in a rage.

There was silence in the back hall.

The county captain suddenly said: "If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. I am afraid that if I want to come over about the mountain bandits, I will be even more anxious than we are."

"That's right." Tang Ju nodded, thought for a while and said, "Ignore the bandits for the time being and let's see how the envoy arranges it. As for the affairs in our county, please pay more attention to it."

"Especially city defense and patrol matters."

Tang Ju looked at the county captain and ordered: "Supervise the soldiers to strengthen the city defense and patrol within the city, and you can mobilize the people to assist. During this period, no accidents must occur!"

"Your officer obeys!" The county lieutenant bowed.

"..."

into the night.

After Su Xian was busy at Liu Huixiang's house for a day, he finally returned home, boiled water for a bath, and fell asleep.

The fermentation time of stinky tofu can be long or short. Since it is summer, the time can be shortened to three or two days.

In other words, if nothing else happens, you can enjoy the unique stinky tofu tomorrow.

That night, Su Xian had another sweet dream.

Not beauty this time.

Instead, countless golden copper coins poured down and submerged him...

late at night.

Behind Su Xian's house is a tall city wall.

On the city wall, two civilians patrolled here holding torches.

"Yawn..." A Min Zhuang yawned, and while moving lazily, said in a daze, "Night watch, night watch, night watch!"

"We wandered around for most of the night, but we didn't see a single ghost. Where did the thieves come from?" Another Minzhuang was also very dissatisfied.

call!
call!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew.

Their torches went out at the same time.

This section of the city wall suddenly fell into darkness, with only a waning moon hanging in the sky.

The moonlight is pale!

"Something's wrong..." The two Minzhuangs immediately stopped where they were and gradually moved closer, looking around in horror.

Swish!
A Minzhuang suddenly saw a figure suddenly appear on the city wall, holding a sharp sword, the blade reflecting the pale moonlight.

What made his heart stop was that the sword blade was pointed directly at his heart and flew past.

puff!
In the blink of an eye, the blade pierced his heart and died on the spot.

The black shadow drew out his sharp sword like lightning, and stabbed the other person with his backhand.

puff!
The sword blade enters the body.

However, because this Minzhuang tried his best to dodge, he missed the critical point.

The black figure drew out his sharp sword and prepared to strike again.

Just at this moment, another thin sword suddenly struck, saving the man alive.

The sound of gold and iron clashing was deafening.

It has not dissipated for a long time.

On the city wall, the moonlight was pale, and the injured Minzhuang fell to the ground, but he did not die immediately.

To his left and right, stood a dark figure and a short person in coarse linen clothes with disheveled hair, who seemed to be a woman.

"Your weakness has not changed. As a killer, the last thing you should do is to save people!"

The shadow's voice was cold and faint.

"But that's okay. If I don't kill these two people, I won't lead you to show up."

The short woman turned her head and glanced at the two Minzhuangs lying on the ground, one dead and one wounded.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the black shadow and said coldly: "I have left a letter to Xiao Ge to withdraw from the inner guard and no longer kill for you."

"Those who are born as inner guards will die as inner guards!"

The black shadow's voice was cold, "However, you are worthy of being the number one killer of the inner guards. We have been on the run for several months, but we have not found a trace of you."

"If it weren't for this time, when Princess Lanling was ordered to go to Youzhou, and the leaders of Xiaoge took the first step to eliminate the rebels along the way, we would not have found your whereabouts."

The corners of the shadow's mouth gradually raised.

Say two words in a unique tone: "Leng Die!"

These two words seem to contain some strange energy.

The short woman's body shook for a while, and finally she collapsed to the ground.

Dropping the thin sword, he held his head in his hands and trembled, as if he was undergoing inhuman torture.

"Leng Die, have you forgotten what the little pavilion leader taught you since you were young?" The black shadow took a step closer with a sword.

"No..." She twitched all over, as if she had gone epileptic.

"Leng Die, Leng Die, you better come back with me obediently." The black shadow raised the sharp sword in his hand and said harshly: "The little pavilion leader has been talking about you for a long, long time..."

Swish!
The black shadow saw the right moment and stabbed with his sword, intending to seriously injure the short woman who fell to the ground and was convulsing.

Perhaps out of instinct, the short woman quickly grabbed the sharp sword on the ground and stabbed it with her backhand.

puff!
The black shadow figure paused.

A strange sound came from his throat, and he stepped back a few steps.

Under the thin moonlight, he could see a thin sword piercing his heart.

"Even if you kill me... you won't be able to escape from the hands of Xiaoge leader...!"

The black shadow looked at the sword pierced in his heart, and smiled miserably: "Sure enough... he is indeed... the inner guard... the number one killer... Leng Die!"

After saying this, the black shadow fell to the sky, already too dead to die.

But the short woman was worse off than dead.

The word "Lengdie" that Heiying said before dying lingered in her ears for a long time, making her collapse on the ground and roll like ten thousand ants devouring her heart.

After a long time, she slowly recovered and sat up from the ground.

Facing the moonlight, her eyes were full of despair, pain, hopelessness, and lifelessness.

After a long silence, she pulled out the thin sword from the black shadow and slowly placed it across her neck.

He was going to commit suicide!

"...Hehe...cough cough..."

At this time, Minzhuang, who was still alive, struggled desperately and stretched out a hand to her.

The short woman put down her rapier, walked over quickly, and put her ear close to her.

I just heard Min Zhuang say intermittently: "Live...live..."

After saying this, he straightened up and died.

The short woman was greatly shocked. She picked up the rapier and looked at it again and again. She put it across her neck several times and put it down several times...

after a little while.

Under the moonlight, the short woman stood proudly on the wall, her messy hair fluttering in the night wind, motionless.

After a long time, she jumped off the city wall and disappeared into the night.
