Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 53

Wang Hou is also a big boss now, with the money of a bodyguard.

The weather in March is still very cold, especially in the morning, but the days without stance training are good days. Two cows are slowly pulling a wooden cart with a shed. The dark and slender infantry halberds, breathing out bursts of white smoke, strode forward with heavy strides, huffing and puffing, and in front, Wang Congge was riding a wobbly horse, leading the way with twenty heavy cavalry. The group of heavy-armored guards is not much better than the bodyguards in black suits and big sunglasses of the stars of later generations, and they are very good at thieves!
This is nothing more than being surrounded in the middle, and Wang Hou has never tasted the taste of a big boss.

There is no independent suspension, no electromagnetic shock absorption, not to mention Michelin tires, not even bicycle tires, other people's luxury cars are two-door, Wang Hou's is still a two-wheeler, and I can't feel it in the flat city of Xudu. Walking out of the city on this rotten road that is more dilapidated than the rural roads of later generations, two big wooden wheels pressed against the hard stone, and they immediately bumped up and down, which was even more bumpy than his old uncle's walking tractor that year. Wang Hou almost vomited out his breakfast.

He couldn't figure it out. Over the past dynasties in China, there were too many gentry who were supported by peasants and tenants, and their brains were full of fat and their stomachs hurt. How about the pretentious four-wheeled carriage?
Fortunately, he was not fighting alone, and the girl Cao Hongjie was also held here by him. Cao Xiaoniang, who was bouncing up and down, was about to vomit like she was pregnant, her little face was pale, and she hadn't yet While we were talking, the hard wheel happened to be pressed against a big rock again. With a bang, her little head hit the carriage, and a big bag came out of the impact. She couldn't help but shed tears. Covering his head, the other fist shook his fist in front of Wang Hou.

"There's something wrong with you! If you don't let me ride a horse, I have to ride a car, it hurts me to death!"

Originally, I wanted to write some copywriting on the carriage, but it was trembling up and down as if lying directly on the three-cylinder engine. As soon as I opened the ink, my body was stained with plum blossoms. Wang Hou also threw the things aside sadly. , shrugged helplessly.

"I just know how to complain, how can I discuss the recording of "Clan Records" in public while riding a horse?"

"This is a task entrusted to me by the prime minister, not to you. This girl is the envoy. What are you discussing with me?"

Holding the big bag on her head, the girl rolled her eyes so much that Wang Hou couldn't help but twitch her cheeks.

"Okay, okay, you, Miss Jie, are the wind picker, and I'm just a handyman, so I won't delay Miss Jie's important affairs if you go down as an official. At the next intersection, you go to Yingchuan to record the "Clan History", and go down to the chief The agency sorted out my field records, see you back!"

This woman really can't be used to it! Wang Hou's face was stern, and she turned her head to the side, which really scared Cao Hongjie. The hands covering her little head were also sent away. sleeves, and asked cautiously.

"You're angry?"

"Understood dare not!"

After hitting a hard nail, the girl pursed her mouth again: "Hey! You are still a man, why are you angry with me, a little girl? Are you a little manly?"

Still had a hard face, this time Wang Hou simply ignored her, making Cao Hongjie helpless, the cat grabbed his clothes like that and shook angrily.

"Okay, okay! Don't be so stern! I can't listen to you for everything?"

Sighing helplessly again, Wang Hou turned his head solemnly, and landed his hands heavily on the girl's shoulders.

"After this trip, what we did was offending people! So when we get to the place, you can record what I say to remember, and change what I say to change. Don't question what I will take you to do. Do you understand? !"

"Yes! This time you are the elder, and the little girl is a servant girl who warms the bed behind you and serves people. You said that you will never beat a chicken when you beat a dog, so it is done!"

With a small face like a bitter gourd, Cao Hongjie sadly stretched out three fingers and swore, which made Wang Hou heave a sigh of relief, but immediately, this guy laughed meanly again.

"Little comrade is worthy of praise for being self-motivated! Tonight, my master will fulfill your wish of warming the bed!"

"Go to hell!"

With a bang, Xiao Man's boots kicked over firmly.

…………

There are many strange people in Ruyinggu, but a small Yingchuan County has left a strong mark in the great era of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. Military advisers from Yingchuan are active in front of and behind the scenes of the princes, Guo Jia, Xun Yu Xunyou, later Xu Shu, and Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui all came from Yingchuan County, which is also the place where the gentry under Cao Cao gathered the most. Even Xuchang is located in the center of Yingchuan County.

To record "Clan Chronicles", the most important thing is to go southward with great strides. Linying, Fanchang, and Xiangcheng are all gathering centers of gentry, but Wang Hou came to do the opposite, first went north last time Get acquainted with the experienced Changsha.

Originally this place was not a prosperous and prosperous place, but after the battle of Huangfu Song burning down the Changsha, it is even more desolate now, the city walls are scorched everywhere, and in the evening, when the city gates are wide open, few people come in and out, only a few gatekeepers The old pawns dozed off side by side in the city gate, and they didn't even wake up when Wang Hou's large team drove the bullock carts thumping past.

The streets are also sparsely populated. The bustling commercial streets like those in Shanghetu during the Qingming Festival could not have appeared in the Han Dynasty, especially at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the commodity economy was far from developed. At this time, the function of the city was more military. Politically and politically, the Changsha has two gates, east and west. Entering through the cave at the west gate, there is an empty military barracks next to it, and the county government office is on the right side of the cross street after a few steps.

The guards at the gate of the county yamen were quite conscientious. Such an army suddenly appeared on the street. One of the two guards guarding the county yamen rushed in to report, while the other greeted them full of fear and raised their hands high.

"Hey! Where are the soldiers, how dare you break into the Changshe county government office!"

At this time, the head of the bodyguard had to go out to support the scene. Listening to his yelling, Wang Congge squeezed the horse's belly slightly, jumped the horse to the front, and shouted arrogantly.

"Wu Na official messenger, my lord is the official of the prime minister's mansion, Cao Wanghou Wang Lingguan. He was ordered by the prime minister to investigate the tax burden and clear the land. Why don't you ask your county magistrate to come out quickly to greet him!"

In terms of rank, Wang Hou's four hundred stones are actually on the same level as the magistrate of this county. If he were replaced by a magistrate of a large county, his rank would be one level higher than that of the one thousand stones, but he is a Beijing official anyway. , and now Boss Cao is in charge, the gold content of his Cao family is almost equal to that of Da Sinong among the nine Qings, but there is no real name, so it is enough to make a fuss. The guard just lay down on the ground, and kowtowed heavily in grief.

"The villain pays homage to the Wang Lingguan! The Lingguan will come later, and I will invite my county lord here!"

Afraid of being neglected, after saluting, this guy also turned his head and entered the county office.

After sitting in the ox cart for a whole day, the bones almost fell apart, but when they got to the place, the guard went to report, and the other Wang Hou brought the wind to make Cao Hongjie couldn't wait, so he opened the curtain and rolled down. The two of them stretched their muscles and bones for a long time, and they almost had a square dance in public. They waited and waited, but the county government still didn't even show a ghost. Seeing that it was getting dark, Wang Cong Ge was annoyed and fell off his horse, and clasped his fists in front of Wang Hou.

"My lord, Yongju, the county magistrate of Changshe, is so rude, I'll find him out for you!"

When you go out to check the land and fields, you will lose your face if you hit a big nail in the first place. If you go to other places, who will pay you back?Wang Hou, who was also anxious, thought about it for a moment, and then nodded emphatically.

"Go! After all, this official represents the prime minister to inspect the place. To neglect this official is to neglect the prime minister. Find him out and punish him for disrespect!"

The worst time to drive in future generations is when a taxi is parked on the road blocking the road. You have just stepped on the accelerator to overtake. Yong Ju, the county magistrate of Changshe, is just like this taxi driver. Just as Wang Hou decided to set the new official on fire, the gate of the county government opened with a creak, and a dry man in a black silk coat Shou came out with a few servants, his already thin and wrinkled old face squeezed into a ball when he saw Wang Hou, bowing there weakly as if he couldn't live anymore.

"Changshe County pays homage to Wang Lingguan."

…………

There was a bang, it hadn't been opened for a long time, and the door of the account room, which was rusted to death, was kicked open with a big foot, and suddenly, a puff of ashes blown by the wind rushed towards the face, choking Cao Hongjie He coughed straight through his nose.

"Before the first year of Zhongping, all the land registers and taxes in Changshe County are here. Wang Lingguan can read them by himself. I still have official duties to complete, so I won't be here to accompany Wang Lingguan. I'm rude!"

After finishing speaking, the county magistrate Yong, who couldn't afford to live, actually turned around and left without even turning his head. He swayed and disappeared into the dark night of the county government office.

How could Cao Hongjie have ever been so angry? When he came back to his senses, he looked at the accounting room full of cobwebs. The girl raised her fists angrily and was about to chase her up, but before she could take two steps, Wang Hou grabbed her by the collar again Pulled back.

"Forget it! Cong Ge, you take someone to clean up the post house first, and then send someone to carry the account books here."

"The first year of Zhongping! It has been more than 14 years now! There is no new account! This stupid official with a dead body, let him go like this?"

Still angry, pointing in the direction where Yong Ju disappeared, her little face flushed with anger, Cao Hongjie yelled sharply, but listening to Wang Hou, she shook her head helplessly.

"I'm Cangcao, and you're the wind picker. We're not the censor, and we're not admonishing Cao. Let's do our own thing!"

"This..., oh..."

With nowhere to vent his anger, Cao Hongjie flicked his sleeves sadly.
