Lang riding a war horse

Gu Zhen was also a little curious, he said nothing, and looked at Master Zhuge who was waiting for the next sentence.

Master Zhuge also looked at Gu Zhen, suddenly gave a "puchi" laugh, and said, "Don't tell me, you're quite interesting."

Gu Zhen: "???"

He Xuliang's face finally darkened, he stared at Master Zhuge and said, "Brother."

Master Zhuge hurriedly begged for mercy, and said: "Don't, don't, I don't mean that, just praise him, praise him."

Gu Zhen: "..."

Why didn't I hear that you were praising me?

Master Zhuge rubbed his nose, and continued: "This Hai Long..."

There are many waters in Wucai County, especially the famous Zhaofeng Lake in Xiangjingchuan. There are many branch basins of Zhaofeng Lake, which almost extend in all directions to support the entire Wucai County. The place where they are now is called Zhangshui Town. There is a river here It is called Zhangshui River, which is regarded as the mother river of the town.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat mountains depends on the water to eat water, and the Zhangshui River is rich in products, so the life of the people in the town is leisurely and prosperous. People lead the boat, and there is nothing left after swallowing it. You can't find it if you look for it.

That's all right, it's fine if you don't go into the water at the worst, and what's even more weird is that when it's cloudy and rainy, the river will be turned into huge waves, and the whole river will be covered with crackling and flashing thunder. Many families have moved out of their original residences because of this incident.Everyone dare not go fishing in the river during the clear sky and daylight, for fear of being swallowed by the river, and even dare not approach the river when it is cloudy and rainy, for fear of being knocked back to the west by the rolling thunder.

It would be fine if this strange thing happened for a while, but it just got worse and worse. It is said that some people would sometimes fall into the river for no reason and never come out when they were fishing by the river. Originally, he lived by the Zhangshui River, but in this situation, even food and clothing have become a problem.

Later, rumors spread from nowhere, saying that the sea dragon in Zhaofeng Lake accidentally entered the Zhangshui River, but the Zhangshui River was too small, and the small fish and shrimps couldn't get enough to eat, so they started eating people.As soon as this rumor came out, it spread more and more widely, and there were various versions. Some people came out of nowhere and said that they had seen Hai Long, whose eyes were like a bright moon, whose back was like armor, and who could fly, but Zhangshui No one can explain the sudden change in the river, and there is no other reason other than using these strange and chaotic remarks to explain it.

So the word "Hai Long" spread more and more widely, and became more and more true. Until today, the government posted a notice calling all capable people from all over the world to hunt Hai Long in Wucai County, and even offered a high price of ten thousand taels of gold as a reward. The meat-flavored hyenas were naturally moved upon hearing the news, and Gu Zhen and the others arrived at Wucai County just at this time.

"What?" Gu Zhen frowned incredulously.

Master Zhuge smiled "hehe", threw a peanut into his mouth, and said, "Why, are you afraid?"

Gu Zhen said angrily, "Who is the governor of Wucai County, and where did you get the ten thousand taels of gold?!"

Master Zhuge: "..."

He twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Is this the time to care about this, the magistrate can't get this little money out?"

Gu Zhen's eyeballs almost popped out, and he asked back: "This--some--money?"

Is it normal for a provincial cadre to spend [-] million yuan?

Master Zhuge really didn't know why Gu Zhen was so indignant about the amount of the reward after hearing Hai Long's story, and said: "Hey, what's the matter, maybe such a big thing is the money allocated by the court?"

Gu Zhen subconsciously said, "Why don't I know."

Master Zhuge: "What?"

"No...it's nothing, just one more question, has this matter... been reported to the court? Didn't it start half a year ago?"

Zhuge Master looked confused and said, "I don't know, I'm not from Zhangshui Town, why do you care about this?"

Gu Zhen frowned and replied, "Just ask."

He was 100% unaware of this matter, either he hadn't reported it, or the news hadn't reached him yet, but the fact that a sheriff was able to hand out ten thousand taels of gold was really suspicious, even though it was done It’s a good thing for you to get rid of harm, but maybe this bit of gold came from corvee, taxation, corruption?I have to check.

Gu Zhen asked again: "Here...is the tax heavy?"

This time it was Master Zhuge's turn to be speechless, and said: "How do I know? I don't say I'm not from Zhangshui, you." He shook his head and ate his food.

At this time, Xiao Er happened to be serving the diners at the table next to them, and when he heard them talking, he poked his head and interjected, "Hey, where are you talking about Mr. Wang?"

Gu Zhen looked at him and said, "Who is Lord Wang?"

Xiao Er said: "Our Lord Sheriff, that is really a good official, this time the bounty for hunting Hai Long was taken by Lord Wang himself."

Gu Zhen asked: "Master Wang is so rich?"

Xiao Er took it for granted: "That's not true, Mr. Wang used to be in the silk business." Then he suddenly stared at Gu Zhen and said, "This master is also in the silk business, right? You should know the name of the Silk King?"

Gu Zhen smiled dryly: "I know, I know, of course I know."

He wanted to continue asking, but He Xuliang stretched out his hand and pinched his shoulder, Gu Zhen glanced at him, and sat back quietly to think for himself.

Master Zhuge supported his chin and shook his head "tsk tsk tsk" and said: "The family education is really strict."

Gu Zhen didn't bother to talk to him. Although the way of businessman made a lot of money, his social status was very low, especially when Jiang Yun had been in power before, and everything was inferior. The only thing a businessman wanted to do was to be an official. One way - to buy an official.

However, Mr. Wang bought an official but is doing things for the people, which is a clean stream.

Gu Zhen fell into deep thought, no one at this table was talking to Master Zhuge, he looked left and right but couldn't stay idle, he sat down next to Yeran, and asked meanly: "Little brother, what kind of face do you have?" what's up?"

Yeran didn't even look at him, and casually replied, "I'm hurt."

"It's a pity that you are so cheeky. Hey, let me tell you that there is a medical clinic in the east of this town. The doctor said that he has a unique recipe for treating this kind of scar disease. You should go and see it early tomorrow, otherwise the doctor will be out all day. Can't catch anyone."

Yeran gave a cold "um" and replied, "Thank you."

Master Zhuge didn't think what was wrong with his indifferent attitude, instead he grinned and replied: "You are welcome, but what are your names?"

Gu Zhen looked at him faintly at this time, and after eating my food and drinking my wine, he remembered to ask Laozi what his name is?

Anyway, He Xuliang and Yeran can basically be treated as dumb, Gu Zhen can only answer, and said: "My surname is Wang, this surname is Gu, the bodyguard hired by my family, this is my trick, call him Of course."

Master Zhuge cupped his hands towards them and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Gu Zhen rolled his eyes to the sky, and happened to glance at the menu on the wall, which read "20-year-old daughter red—five taels of silver."

Mother, why don't you grab it! !

Gu Zhen took a deep breath and turned to look at Master Zhuge. The man happily drank the daughter's red wine that could buy five old sows, and shouted, "Why don't you save some for me?"

Master Zhuge was startled, poured him a glass and pushed it over, and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't see how you can still drink, so don't get drunk."

"Who do you underestimate?"

But in fact, Gu Zhen himself doesn't know how to drink, especially this kind of white wine, which is the same as the Zan Liezi that he drank when he was in Qiong Oak, but this wine is too fucking expensive, right?Converted to 2000 yuan per pot, even if you buy a pot of urine, you still have to drink it.

Gu Zhen took a sip, a little choked, but far from the spicy and strong feeling of Zan Liezi, and he simply drank it dry, Master Zhuge still applauded like booing, and said: "I can't tell, brother, is there enough?"

Gu Zhen blushed, and said, "I didn't know where you were when I was drinking Zan Liezi in Qiong Oak."

Master Zhuge's hands froze, and he put on a mean smile: "Brother, have you ever been to Qiong Oak? Wasn't there a war all the time? What are you doing there? It's cold winter, your silk seller are you going out?"

Gu Zhen's eyes flickered, and he said with a big tongue: "You... you live in a ditch, right? The battle of Qiongxiang... has already been won, won..."

Gu Zhen was staggering, He Xuliang supported him, and said in a low voice, "You drank too much."

No one who drank too much would admit that he drank too much. Gu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Who...who drank too much, I can... still be the top five, 666!"

He Xuliang asked again in a low voice: "Are you full?"

Gu Zhen patted his belly, nodded and smiled silly: "I'm full."

He Xuliang gave a "hmm", picked him up without saying a word, completely ignored the strange gazes of all kinds of people around him and strode upstairs, Master Zhuge didn't move, he held his cheek and said: "Oh, hey, this soreness Son."

He Xuliang and Gu Zhen didn't have any reason to stay here to eat after they left. They also got up to follow, but they were grabbed by their wrists. It was the same feeling just now. It was obvious that the other party didn't use any force, but they just couldn't break free. , Yeran looked back with a grim expression, and saw Master Zhuge licking his face and smiling at him, "Hey, what are you doing, I'm so sweet, you haven't finished your meal yet, eat some more."

Yeran looked at He Xuliang's back, and finally sat back without refuting.

Master Zhuge was very happy, and cheerfully put vegetables on Yeran's plate, and said, "That's right, people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."

Yeran lowered his head and took out all the vegetables Master Zhuge had picked up for him, and lowered his head to pick up a chopstick of spinach and chew slowly.

Master Zhuge still smiled, chatting with Yeran casually, and asked: "You didn't come to Wucai County to kill Hai Long, what are you doing here?"

Yeran: "Business."

"Ah, I just heard that you are also in the cloth business? Hey, why do you want to come to Wucai County? This is what the county guard does at home. Who will buy yours?"

Yeran pursed his lips, how could he know, he simply ate quietly without saying a word, Master Zhuge seemed to be born unable to feel other people's emotions, Yeran made "don't talk to me" so obvious that he also I couldn't stop talking, and kept nagging: "Where are you from? Stay in Wucai County for a few days? The girl in your family is very beautiful. Is there anyone else? Why didn't you come down to have dinner together? I think you look so beautiful. It’s also very good. Is there a girl I like? Is there a girl I don’t like? I don’t have anyone. See if I can do it... um..."

Yeran couldn't bear it anymore, stuffed Master Zhuge with a ball, frowned and said, "Shut up."
