Ye Xiaotian knew that Hua Qingfeng was talking about his official appointment as county magistrate, but he couldn't act like he knew it before he saw the report, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "Why did you say that, sir?"

Hua Qingfeng handed the official document to Ye Xiaotian, and said with a smile: "Master Ye, you should read it yourself."

Ye Xiaotian already knew the content of that official document, but after all, he saw it with his own eyes. When he opened the official document and looked at the vermilion seal on it, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help feeling excited. What happened in the past few years, recalling it now, seems like a dream, a bizarre dream. The bottom of his heart had already begun to secretly appreciate Yang Lin. If Yang Lin hadn't tricked him out of the capital, how could he have such a colorful life

Master Wang bowed his hands to Ye Xiaotian with a smile, and said: "Master Ye, congratulations, congratulations..."

Ye Xiaotian returned the gift with a smile, and Hua Qingfeng said with a smile: "Tomorrow, the Japanese county will gather all colleagues to announce the matter in public. Mr. Ye, you are now the leader of the county's second official, and I need you to assist me a lot in the future." County, let's take care of Hu County together, and live up to the entrustment of the court."

Ye Xiaotian leaned back and said: "Your Majesty, you are being polite. Although Xiaotian is incompetent, he should do his best to help you. Uh... In addition, I want to rest for a few days before officially taking office as the county magistrate. I would like to invite you, my lord. Give me a break."

Hua Qingfeng couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and changed from acting to regular. At this time, the replacement must be impatient to make a name, at least he has to act like he is diligent in business, why does he want to rest for a few days? After thinking about it, it must be that Ye Xiaotian officially became the magistrate of this county. There are many people who want to make friends with him, and he also intends to celebrate it. If he has already taken office, it would be better to be so casual.

Hua Qingfeng sneered secretly in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, he nodded and said: "These days, you Mr. Ye have really worked hard, and you should take a few days off, um... Then what do you think? How many days do you want to rest?"

Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "This... 20 days, how about it?"

Hua Qingfeng was stunned again, he didn't care how long Ye Xiaotian would take a bath, it would be better to take a rest for the rest of his life, and never come to the Yamen, but this is impossible, if he was allowed to take a rest for twenty days, it would be too much After a while, it seemed that he, the county magistrate, was unable to control his subordinates.

Hua Qingfeng thought for a while, and said awkwardly: "Master Ye, you also know that the officials of my court have a limited period of rest every year. If you leave the post for too long, it is difficult for this official to explain to others. If the county The officials above all imitate you, and this official cannot treat everyone equally. Although you have worked hard these days, twenty days is too long, um... ten days, the county allows you to rest for ten days, how about it? Master Ye , this... is already an unprecedented long holiday."

Ye Xiaotian opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but finally he could only helplessly smile and said: "The county magistrate's difficulties, the lower officials will naturally save them. Ten days... let's do it for ten days!"

After Zhao Wenyuan and Qian Qingqing left Ye Mansion, they didn't go back to the post station. Now that we are in the county, we have to go to Shizi Street for a walk. Qian Qingqing is a woman, and there is no woman who does not like to go shopping. Zhao Wenyuan accompanied him all the way. This superficial couple seems to have a bit of a "singing together".

Qian Qingqing walked around Shizi Street for more than an hour, bought some things, and then returned home exhausted. The "husband and wife" turned back to the station, and as soon as they entered the gate, a postman ran over to report: "Master Yicheng, Xie Chuanfeng from Xie's Chariot and Horse Company has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Wenyuan and Qian Qingqing glanced at each other, Qian Qingqing raised his eyebrows at him, looking enchanting and charming. Zhao Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he avoided her eyes unconsciously. This woman is usually either as cold as frost, or heroic. When she occasionally shows her daughter's charm, she is really charming. It's a pity that such a stunner, he himself No blessing to enjoy.

Zhao Wenyuan waved his hand, signaling the postman to back down, and said to Qian Qingqing with a half-smile, "Seeing that Xu Boyi fell down, I want to hug my thigh again when I hear this thank you."

Qian Qingqing curled her lips and said: "We are always comfortable, so why recruit him again? He and Ye Xiaotian have always had a feud, and now Ye Xiaotian is in full swing, unless you want to have a bad relationship with Ye Xiaotian, otherwise, this person cannot be tolerated!"

Zhao Wenyuan said: "Of course I understand this truth! I'll go and reject him."

Qian Qingqing nodded and said, "That's good!"

Qian Qingqing wanted to go to the back house, but Zhao Wenyuan suddenly called her again: "Ma'am!"

Qian Qingqing looked back at him, Zhao Wenyuan said: "Yaoyao is just a child, even if you have a deep friendship with her, it will have little influence on Ye Xiaotian. Besides, if you are a grown woman, if you say that you are inseparable with Yaoyao, it is hard to say You are convinced, if Ye Xiaotian becomes wary of you because of this..."

Qianqing's eyebrows, which looked like willow leaves, slightly curved, and said impatiently: "What do you want to say when you are beating around the bush, just say it."

Zhao Wenyuan smiled and said: "If you want to complete the chieftain's confession, why not directly attack Ye Xiaotian."

"oh?"

Qianqing looked at Zhao Wenyuan with a hint of doubt in his eyes like checking paint: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Wenyuan said with an ambiguous expression: "I heard some rumors that Ye Xiaotian has some unclear relationship with Mrs. Xianzun. I reckon that this Ye Xiancheng probably has the same hobbies as our chieftain, hehehe, You know… "

Qian Qingqing felt nauseated, she gave Zhao Wenyuan a cold look, and walked away without saying a word. Zhao Wenyuan was stunned, looked at her back, and wondered: "What does this mean? Could it be that I guessed wrong, Lord Chieftain didn't mean to ask her to seduce Ye Xiaotian? Don't she be fooled by Lord Chieftain? Climb up a branch and become a phoenix. Huh, Master Chieftain has played with many women, and how many of them are qualified to enter the Yang family!"

Xie Chuanfeng clutched his wrist and paced nervously in the living room. He thought that by hugging Xu Boyi's thigh, not only would he become prosperous from now on, but he would also have the opportunity to use Xu Boyi to avenge Ye Xiaotian, who knew that Ye Xiaotian would defeat Xu Boyi neatly when he came back from Jinling.

At this time, Xie Chuanfeng had completely forgotten the hatred between him and Ye Xiaotian. In the final analysis, it was only the hatred of his self-esteem being insulted, not his personal interests. What he might lose now is his future hope, his Industry is his car and horse business.

During the war in Yunnan, there was a lot of life on the post road. In order to seize this opportunity to make a fortune, Xie Chuanfeng invested all his property in it, bought a large number of mules, horses and vehicles, and hired many carts and guards at high prices. If he can't open it from now on, he will lose everything.

The first thing Xie Chuanfeng thought of was holding the thigh of Master Wang. Although this thigh is not thick enough, Master Wang is a person who has taken refuge in the Tian family. Stakes, both emotionally and rationally have no choice but to rely on the king's book.

Unexpectedly, he found the palace in panic, but Master Wang instructed him to join Zhao Wenyuan. Master Wang also had his plan. If Zhao Wenyuan was willing to accept this temptation, he would be like planting a nail in Zhao Wenyuan's side. At the same time, it was tantamount to pulling Zhao Wenyuan to his side. However, will Zhao Wenyuan make him happy

Xie Chuanfeng touched the generous gift he brought, this time the gift was so generous that he felt a little heartbroken, but... in order to keep his property, it was all worth it. The news of Xu Boyi and Ye Xiaotian's quarrel has been known to everyone on the post road. Even if Ye Xiaotian doesn't say anything now, those merchants dare not do business with Xie's car dealership. collapsed.

Zhao Wenyuan walked into the living room, Xie Chuanfeng immediately greeted him with a smile all over his face, flatteringly said: "Master Zhao, little one..."

Zhao Wenyuan didn't wait for him to finish his sentence, so he sternly said, "What are you doing, do you want to bribe me?"

Xie Chuanfeng quickly explained: "No, my lord, be careful, don't talk about bribery, the small ones are just..."

Zhao Wenyuan flicked his sleeve, interrupted him again, and said sharply: "Come on, throw him out!"

Xie Chuanfeng was at a loss, seeing two postmen rushed in, grabbed his gift box, dragged him away, Xie Chuanfeng couldn't help crying, and said: "Master Yi Cheng, Master Yi Cheng, the villain only wants a way out, only Please find a way to survive..."

Xu Boyi lay naked in the ashes and opened his eyes dying.

Those soldiers were as rough as eunuchs, with unskilled techniques and poor aftermath measures. The death rate of body purification is inherently high, sometimes as high as 40%. Under their rough treatment, 30% of the people who were body body died on the spot.

Those who survived were thrown into the ashes, each with a hollow reed tube inserted into their lower body, and they did not eat or drink for several days, and only drank a little water when they were extremely thirsty. When he was sober, he was sometimes in a daze. When he was sober, he saw many people around him who were covered in ashes and were inhuman, lying there twisted one by one, as if they were in a hell on earth.

The ground was full of the smell of grass ash, and the smell of stench and blood. You don't know who is dead and who is alive. One of them may have stopped breathing unknowingly, but it is likely to be discovered after lying down for a day, dragged away from the ashes like an animal. Here, human life is worth more than worthless.

Xu Boyi knew very well that he would no longer be a man, not even eligible to enter the ancestral grave. Sometimes he was in so much pain that he wished to die immediately, and sometimes he was extremely afraid of death and wanted to live no matter what, so half-drowsy, half-awake, hesitating and struggling, he finally survived the most difficult moment.

Where is his next path

The imperial palace, the emperor, that was the place and person he yearned for so much. He always dreamed that one day he could meet Tianyan and become a close minister of the emperor. When he was young, he believed in it, and as he grew up, his dream became farther and farther away from him. Now he finally has a chance, he... is going to enter the palace, he is going to see the emperor, but because he never Shameful eunuch status...

Two tears slowly flowed down the corners of his eyes, and before they reached his cheeks, they turned into two muddy balls of mud. His face was also covered with ashes, and his hair was extremely dirty. Like a lonely ghost crawling out of the eighteenth hell.

But, anyway, he came alive, he's still alive...
