Sword narration is painful in the world

Speaking of the marriage show marquis Yu Wuyang, when he said these words, his eyes never left Hong Lingquan's face, trying to see from the expression on his face whether he was tempted.

Hong Lingquan had already estimated that Yu Wuyang would be capable of this, and as expected, if you protect me, we will be good brothers, otherwise I will let you die.

Hong Lingquan listened to Yu Wuyang's words and thought about countermeasures. Yu Wuyang saw Hong Lingquan blinking his eyes tightly and thought he was weighing the weight of his words, so he added:

"Ling Quan, since ancient times, those who understand current affairs have been regarded as heroes. You can't be willful. What do you think? Can you answer me?"

"Alas" Hong Lingquan sighed and continued:

"Master Marquis, someone has sent you a letter asking you to kill me, but before I came, someone also asked me to come to Huai'an Mansion to eliminate harm for the people. They meant you to show off your marriage."

"who is it"

"You don't have to ask. However, even if I don't tell you, you also know that my coming to Huai'an Mansion this time was secretly recommended by the old master Yan Rong."

"That will send you to hell, do you know?"

"I thought about it too," Hong Lingquan said with a smile:

"Thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for treating me like this. Since I have read the books of Confucius and Mencius, I know the etiquette of loyalty and righteousness. I can pass the imperial examination and be an official in the imperial court. I can handle these things. I also understand that you treat me sincerely." , your sincerity cannot be replaced by my pretense, so I will also tell you the truth. As I said just now, when I came, I also swore an oath that as an official, I, Hong Lingquan, must be gentle on my sleeves and love the people. Like a son, although I am not as good as Bao Zheng, I still want to imitate Bao Zheng. I want to be worthy of Long Live, worthy of the people of Li, and worthy of the fourth rank Wusha of this court. If I don't do this, I will die without a burial place."

"Then what do you plan to do with me, the Marquis?"

"I am prepared to punish him according to the national law."

"Humph, Hong Lingquan, I'm afraid you just don't have the ability to do it."

"Yeah, I'm also thinking that there are many green forest experts in your house, Lord Marquis. This is really difficult to handle. What's more, Lord Marquis, you love Hong Lingquan so much, how can I not appreciate it? But now you just let me I replied, it’s hard for me to say.”

“Is there anything bad to say?”

Hong Lingquan said again:

"Then let me tell you frankly. I have one foot in two boats right now. I haven't made up my mind yet. Lord Marquis, do you understand? This will affect my future life. Do I have to rely on you at the moment? I haven't thought about it yet, so you have to allow me to go back and think about it carefully. It may take five days at most and three days at least, and I will definitely reply to you."

"Well, what you said is true."

For a while, Yu Wuyang heard what Hong Lingquan said was reasonable, and thought to himself, it seems that this person is quite serious. If he is that kind of slick, he agreed at that time for the sake of his own life. There is not much value in bringing this kind of people over. He is such a serious person, once he is pulled over, he will be determined.

Yu Wuyang smiled when he thought of this and said:

"It seems that you are a man of steel who does not rub sand in your eyes. Just as you say you will not do the things you regret, you will never regret the things you do. If you get to know someone like you, you will definitely be able to keep your word. Okay, then I’ll hear your reply within three to five days.”

"Master Hou, that's right. Before I, Hong Lingquan, make a decision, I hope that the people in the mansion will not cause trouble for me."

"Then don't worry, I will never trouble you again."

At this time, Yu Wuyang called the people outside, and Leng Fengye and Song Yu also came in.

Yu Wuyang immediately ordered his subordinates:

"Go and get the gold."

"What are you doing, Lord Marquis? If I, Hong Lingquan, need money, I will send someone to collect it. You can save the gold for now."

"Ah, yes, yes, because I am so happy."

Little Zhuge was shaking his head proudly at this time, because it was him who came up with the idea again. At this moment, when he saw the joy on Master Hou's face, he knew that his idea had taken effect. Isn't it another great achievement for him?

"Master Hou, then Hong Lingquan will leave first." Hong Lingquan said and was about to leave.

"I'll see you off," Yu Wuyang hurriedly smiled and saw him off. It was really honorable for such a big man to show off his relatives to the magistrate in person.

In fact, Yu Wuyang wanted to let the common people see it, meaning:

You guys are suing me, huh, I don’t think so.

He, Hong Lingquan, Bao Gong in this life, comes to my place for dinner. We hold hands and hold hands, and we are like brothers. Let’s see if you want to say goodbye or not.

Hong Lingquan disagreed, said goodbye, mounted his horse, and returned to the government office.

Along the way, these three groups of government officials quietly discussed:

From now on, our errands will be easier to do. Mr. Hong has shocked us in the past two days. If he really gets involved with Mr. Hou, can we people stand it?

If we are found out in the future that we have done things for the Marquis, can we be spared?

It seems that officials are still protecting each other. Any talk about honest officials is nonsense and does not happen.

Hong Lingquan also had a clue in his heart at this time, and was very happy. Since you, Yu Wuyang, have had hope in me, then I will have a way to punish you. It is not easy to do this today.

Leng Fengye was so powerful that he fought against the four teachers. Yu Wuyang said he was not afraid, but in fact he must be a little afraid.

People are in high spirits during happy events. When they came, Hong Lingquan was just thinking about how to deal with Yu Wuyang. He sat in the sedan again and didn't bother to look at the street scene. When he returned, he felt happy. He rode on the big horse and walked while watching the business people on both sides of the street.

After a while, this huge group of people walked to the gate of the City God's Temple. They saw that the temple next to the City God's Temple was larger than the City God's Temple. The gates of the two temples were close to each other. There was a large plaque hanging here with gold characters on the black ground. , written Tu Tu Temple.

Over there is the City God's Temple. When it comes to ghosts and priests, the level of "land" and the City God are really far apart. There can be eight pieces of land in a city, one in each direction.

But there can only be one city god in a city.

The earth temple in front of us has three main halls, three east halls, three west halls, and a red-painted mountain gate.

Hong Chenchen looked at it and found it strange, so he asked his subordinates:

“Who built this Earth Temple? Why is it so big next to the City God’s Temple?”

"Sir, you don't know that the earth god here is a living god, and the city god is a dead city god."

When Hong Lingquan heard this, he became more and more confused and asked again:

"What a living land, dead city god"

"By the way, every year on February 2, the day when the dragon raises its head, the Earth God shows great mercy."

"Ah, what did he say to make him sad?"

Hong Lingquan was an atheist. When the messenger said this, his face sank. He thought about how these clay statues could show mercy.

The messenger said again:

"Sir, you don't know. Every year on February 2nd, the Earth God descends to earth, and even Shidi's grandma comes. If a girl doesn't have a husband, she goes to the Earth God Temple to pray to God to find her husband. If a boy can't find a wife, he comes here to burn incense and pray. Daughter-in-law, the land tells you clearly, who is your husband's family name, where does he live, and who is your future daughter-in-law? If you are destined to get married, this is one thing, and another. Every year on February 2nd, the Earth God releases a hundred pills of elixir. Only the virtuous people can get it, but the unscrupulous people cannot get it. Sir, are you here yet? , on February 2nd, this Tu Tu Temple will be quite lively."
