The first corrupt emperor [crossing]

Ningchang is located in the south of the prosperous country, bordering the barbaric country, but it is not an economically prosperous belt, because the barbaric country is poorer, not only poor, but also like its name, the people are tough and savage, and they will cross the border to fight in the prosperous country during the autumn harvest. It's an autumn wind, but it's impossible for a prosperous country to waste a lot of military and material resources to attack a barbarian country that is good at fighting. The most important thing is that even if it is defeated, such a desolate barbaric country will not only fail to collect taxes, but also pay money every year, so the barbarian Guo is not too much, so Sheng Guo turned a blind eye.

This Ningchang can be regarded as a relatively prosperous place in the border area. There are not many businessmen coming and going, but it will not reach the point of extinction.On this day, a caravan lived in the inn in Ningchang, and they were engaged in the business of selling horses. They purchased goods from the barbarian country and shipped them to the capital area. Unaccustomed to the soil and water can not afford to get sick.

The young master of the caravan was very worried. The old man they met on the way here said that he came here to find his son who was engaged in the fur business. They can't buy horses at the border at any time. There is a fixed time for trading with barbarians, which is only three days a month. If they miss the market, they will have to wait until the next month.

The old man himself was very guilty, and after drinking the medicine, he said, "Thank you for taking care of me this way, I am not healthy enough, you can go first, there are not many businesses here, I will just look for it myself gone."

The young master frowned slightly and said, "This place is very messy, why don't I leave two people behind."

The old man waved his hands and said with a smile, "No need, my boy has some kung fu."

The young master persuaded him several times, but seeing no effect, he had to give up, and left some money for the old man before leaving.

The boy came in with the waiter carrying coarse rice, and said with a smile, "The young master of the caravan is really a good man."

The old man looked a little tired, and smiled with his eyes closed, "Young man is good, if only I had a daughter."

The waiter put the food on the table and said with a smile, "Most of the caravans that risk doing business like this are very righteous. There are many bandits and government officials who make money on this road. , They also earn quite a lot, so they are naturally happy to spend some money to sell favors."

The old man smiled, looked at the waiter in the shop and said, "Is the second brother a local?"

The waiter nodded and said, "A native born and bred local."

The old man looked worried, "May I ask my second brother, what kind of foreigners can stay in Ningchang recently?"

The shop clerk thought for a while and said, "Most of the caravans that come and go are resting caravans, but I really haven't heard of anyone staying here all the time."

The old man sighed and said, "Bianzhou is so big, it's really hard to find someone."

The shop waiter looked outside the door and whispered, "Old man, let me tell you, the state here is not peaceful, you should go back early."

The old man was a little surprised, "What do you mean by that?"

The shop clerk sighed, "The atmosphere in this state has not been very good. When you leave Ningchang, you just walk with your head on your shoulders. If you accidentally offend someone, your head will fall to the ground."

The boy was surprised, "Doesn't the magistrate and governor not care?"

Xiao Er laughed, "If you two have nothing else to do, I'll go out first."

The servant frowned slightly and gave Xiao Er a copper coin.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then accepted the copper plate and said, "Two days ago, a rich businessman presented several beauties to the governor, all of which were bought from other places."

Collusion between officials and businessmen, the boy nodded clearly and said, "But didn't you say that there are no outsiders staying?"

The waiter in the shop was stunned, and muttered in a low voice, "Are those beauties still staying? Maybe how they got here..." It wasn't human trafficking.The shop clerk sighed softly, smiled and left with the tray in hand.

The old man suddenly jumped off the bed, revealing a young voice, "Your Majesty, where shall we find Mr. Gu next?"

"Little servant" sat in front of the table and said in silence for a moment, "Mr. Gu was kidnapped. There are no outsiders in disguise now, so the locals are involved in the kidnapping. Those with such great ability are either rich in the city or government officials." In fact, relatively speaking, I believe that they are people in the government. After all, the person behind the scenes should also be in a high position, and it is unlikely to waste time to come to such a remote place to hook up wealthy businessmen, and an official from the state here may It's his people."

Lu Bai scratched his head and said, "Then the hands of the people behind the scenes are quite long enough." The circle of nobles is too chaotic, and he feels that he is more suitable for the simple arena.

Qin Zheng sighed and said, "Let's eat. After dinner, I will go out to find out the news."

"Yes." Lu Bai sat down to pick up the rice honestly, and suddenly said after a while, "Your Majesty, do you think it is possible that Mr. Gu is among the beauties presented by the rich businessman to the governor?"

Qin Zheng paused with his chopsticks, glared at Lu Bai and said, "He's a man."

Lu Bai rubbed the rough rice with his chopsticks, and said, "The women in this ghost place are really tough, maybe the governor has been driven crazy?"

Qin Zheng said with a cold face, "If you are right, then go and be Lin Changfeng's servant for half a year." Lu Bai has always looked down on Lin Changfeng.

"..." Lu Bai had a bitter face, this was venting his anger!

Having said that, Qin Zheng still decided to go to the governor's mansion to visit, after all, their way of transporting hostages has always been special.

The guards in the governor's mansion are very strict. It can be seen that the governor has offended many people and is very afraid of death. Such people are generally suspicious and sensitive, so Qin Zheng does not intend to pretend to be a servant and sneak in, but directly Relying on his high martial arts skills, he sneaked into the Governor's Mansion, but after a while he realized that he was lost. Sure enough, martial arts cannot make up for other shortcomings.

"Mother will take you back to the room to sleep." A woman walked over with a four or five-year-old child.

Qin Zheng came out from the shadows and followed. The place where the female relatives lived should be the place where those beauties lived.

The woman's pace was not big, but she walked not slowly. Along the way, she met several groups of guards watching the night.Those guards only looked down at the child and continued to watch the night, but Qin Zheng who was following behind had to dodge frequently, and almost lost the woman.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the woman finally stopped at a desolate courtyard. There were no night guard servants in the courtyard, and the inside was overgrown with weeds. It seemed that the woman's life was not good, and she must be some unfavored concubine room.

The child bit his sleeve and said, "Mom, Fubao doesn't want to sleep."

The woman bent down and pulled the child's sleeves out, and said with a smile, "Mother told you how many times, don't bite your sleeves, it's so dirty. Be good, mother will take you to bed." As she spoke, she led the child forward. , but did not enter the house, but walked to a big tree.

Seeing that she was about to hit the big tree, the woman did not stop and continued to walk forward. When she approached the big tree, her figure suddenly disappeared.But the child was still standing under the tree, only an inch away from the big tree.

The child sat down on the spot, leaning against the big tree and sobbing.

Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment and walked over, looked at the child for a moment, touched his head and said, "Do you know where this is?"

The child stared at the man who looked like a fairy, and stayed for a long while. When the snot was about to flow down, he took a breath and said timidly, "This is my home."

Qin Zheng frowned slightly and said, "This place has been deserted for a long time, do you usually live here?" Although this child is a little thinner, he is indeed a living person.

The child bit his sleeve and said, "I don't live here during the day, and my mother will pick me up at night."

Qin Zheng was silent for a moment, then took out a pack of crispy candies from his arms, put one for the child and said, "Will you take me to where you live during the day?"

The child was a little afraid to take the candy, and whispered, "If I leave, my mother will be angry."

Qin Zheng patted his head, stuffed the candy into his hand, and said with a smile, "With uncle here, uncle will explain clearly to your mother."

Holding the candy, the child reluctantly let go of Qin Zheng's palm, bit his lip and said, "Okay."

Qin Zheng had just taken two steps with the child in hand when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, and a shrill female voice came from behind him.

"Fubao, where are you going so late?"

Qin Zheng turned around and pulled the child behind him, only to see a woman with her tongue hanging down on her chest, frowning slightly, "Hanging ghost?"

The woman giggled for a long time, her eyes suddenly widened, and when the eyeballs were about to protrude, the tongue in her mouth suddenly stretched out and flung it towards Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng pulled out the tongue of the woman with sword standing short, then covered the child's eyes, picked him up and jumped up the tree.

The woman screamed and covered her mouth in pain. Her whole body began to rot quickly. Many maggots fell to the ground and quickly climbed up the tree. Her tongue grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin Zheng didn't want to make any more entanglements, so he carried the child and jumped onto the eaves, and ran all the way away from here.

The woman quickly climbed up the wall and crawled on the roof at high speed, chasing Qin Zheng, slapping the tiles with her long tongue.

Qin Zheng ran for a long time, seeing that the woman did not catch up, he put down the child and said, "Take me to where you live during the day."

The child looked behind Qin Zheng, bit his sleeve and said, "What are you going to do?"

Qin Zheng said with a smile, "I heard that the governor has got some new beauties, and there may be friends of mine among them, so I want to go and have a look."

The child was a little dazed and said, "I don't know the governor."

Qin Zhengdao, "Isn't this your home?"

The child nodded.

"Isn't your father the governor?"

The child bit his sleeve and said, "My father's name is not Cishi, my father's name is Zhang Ren, and my name is Fu Bao."

Isn't the governor's name Zhang Ren?Qin Zheng said speechlessly, "Your father is the governor."

Fu Bao shook his head stubbornly, and said with tears, "My father's name is not the governor, but my father's name is Zhang Ren."

"..." The child was quite stubborn, Qin Zheng adjusted his expression and said, "I want to find your father's new concubine."

Fu Bao then nodded and said, "Okay..."

Fu Bao didn't follow the right path, and always crawled between the bushes and the holes in the walls. Qin Zheng followed him very hard.

After a while, Qin Zheng grabbed Fu Bao who was crawling into the hole in the wall, and said helplessly, "Do you usually walk this way?"

Fu Bao nodded in a daze, "If someone saw Fu Bao running around, Daddy would beat Fu Bao, but when Fu Bao wanted to go out to play, Cai Bao took Fu Bao to climb into the cave."

Qin Zheng was a little dazed by Bao Lai Bao, and subconsciously said, "The treasure is gold ingot?" Has the gold ingot become a essence?

Fu Bao shook his head, "Caibao is a black cat, Jin Yuanbao is a yellow dog, Jin Yuanbao always bullies Fubao, Caibao will scratch Jin Yuanbao for Fubao..."

Qin Zheng hurriedly interrupted Fubao's various treasures, he was worried that Alipay would pop up in a while.

Fu Bao pointed to the hole in the wall and said, "Behind this hole is the place where the new aunts live, but there is an aunt who doesn't have steamed buns who lives here, and that aunt who doesn't have steamed buns lives very far away. She treats Fu Bao very well." good."

Qin Zheng was stunned and said, "What steamed buns?"

Fu Bao touched his chest, and said with flickering eyes, "The aunt who hides the steamed buns."

"..." Qin Zheng coughed in embarrassment, "Take me to my aunt who doesn't have steamed buns." Is Gu Mingzhe really hidden here?

Fu Bao bit his sleeve and said, "Uncle, why don't you go to see the aunt who has steamed buns?" He didn't want the aunt who didn't have steamed buns to see this uncle, he was afraid that the aunt would like the handsome uncle more and dislike Fu Bao .

Qin Zheng was silent for a while and said, "I'm not hungry."
