Li Daniu took Kou Jiyi to the front of the yard, and whispered in a awkward voice: "The house is a little shabby, it's bad for the owner..."
From beginning to end, Li Daniu always called Kou Ji's boss, but he was unwilling to call Kou Ji an imperial commissioner.
I generally think that I can get closer to calling the owner.
He didn't have any idea of gaining power, but simply felt that he was eating Kou Jifa's wages, so he should be called Kou Jidong's house.
Kou Ji stared at the yard and smiled calmly: "I don't feel wronged... I think it's pretty good... It's just that the popularity is too little..."
Kou Ji did not ask Li Daniu why there is such a big house in Xining City, nor did he ask Li Daniu why the house was not repaired.
Everyone has everybody’s story, and everybody has everybody’s difficulties.
What people are willing to say will naturally be said, and Kou Ji will not ask more if they are not willing to say.
When Li Daniu heard that Kou Ji didn't dislike it, he suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, "It's good if the owner doesn't dislike it... There is a lot of popularity in our yard..."
The voice fell to the ground.
Li Daniu yelled at the courtyard, and his little heads came out of the ruined house in the courtyard, his eyes were open, and he looked at Kou Ji and his party curiously.
Seeing this, Li Zhaoliang said in amazement: "People are very prosperous..."
Li Daniu laughed and said, "That's not..."
Li Daniu led Kou Ji and his party into the courtyard.
Heads are constantly poking out of the broken rooms in the yard.
Liu Heng approached Kou Ji quietly, and said in a low voice, "I counted, there are nearly forty children, probably not Li Daniu's. The yard where Li Daniu lives hasn't been repaired for a long time, I'm afraid I will also follow these children. related."
Kou Ji looked at the curious little faces and nodded lightly.
Kou Ji and his entourage followed Li Daniu into the main hall, and saw that the decoration in the main hall was very simple.
Tables, chairs and benches are all available.
But nothing more.
Because there is nothing but tables, chairs and benches.
Li Daniu asked Kou Ji and his party to sit down and shouted to the back hall: "Girl, go make tea and greet the guests."
There was a small voice in the back hall, which responded.
Li Daniu handed over to Kou Ji: "Sit down for a while, the villain will help, and the girl is alone, I'm afraid I can't be too busy."
Kou Ji nodded and smiled calmly: "Although go..."
Li Daniu smiled and entered the back hall.
Li Zhaoliang clicked his mouth and sighed, "He is a good person..."
Liu Heng looked at him and asked, "Do you know him? Know what happened to him?"
Li Zhaoliang shook his head, "I don't know or know what happened to him. But if I didn't expect it, none of the children in his yard are over ten years old."
Liu Heng asked unexpectedly: "Why?"
Li Zhaoliang said quietly: "Children over ten years old can help with work, and only someone needs it."
Liu Heng instantly understood the meaning of Li Zhaoliang's words.
Most of those who adopt children in Bianjing City also adopt children over ten years old.
Because boys and girls over the age of ten have almost grown up, they can use them if they know a little bit about things.
But children under ten are mostly urchins.
Can't do anything except make trouble and eat.
No one wants to adopt at all.
The imperial court also has a loneliness garden to accommodate widows and loneliness.
It's just too dark.
Therefore, many people prefer to adopt their children to others, and are unwilling to send their children to the lonely park.
The time the three people talked.
Li Daniu had already made tea, and led an eight-year-old girl and a few girls around seven years old, holding wooden tea cups, and sending them to Kou Ji and others.
After the girls brought the tea, they stood aside timidly.
The three of Kou Ji took a sip of tea, only the taste was astringent, but no one spoke, just drank the tea silently.
Finished the tea.
Kou Ji said to Li Zhaoliang: "Let your people cook."
Li Zhao nodded brightly and waved to the person behind him.
Li Daniu hurriedly got up and said, "No need, no, I can do it."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "What can you do with one arm and a few girls? Hundreds of us are eating, not just three or two."
Li Daniu sat down in a serene manner.
The people Li Zhaoliang brought have already gone to find the kitchen.
The three of Kou Ji sat and chatted with Li Daniu.
Learned after talking.
The former city of Xining was really poor.
Most people can't get enough food.
Every year in winter, someone starves to death.
Many widows were left behind.
Older boys who could help with work were adopted by kindhearted people.
Around ten years old, the opened girl was bought by a trafficker.
There are only a small group of small ones left, no one cares about.
Li Daniu adopted them.
The yard was the yard of a wealthy family in Xining City. When barbarians invaded the city, they were looted and killed.
After Li Daniu retired from the ranks, he found a place to stay.
Li Daniu was in charge and gave the yard to Li Daniu.
All the money Li Daniu earned on weekdays was fed to the children, and there was no extra money to repair the yard.
Over time, the yard became more dilapidated.
The only thing that is desirable is that Li Daniu's own money, plus the help of neighbors in the neighborhood, did not starve himself and his children, and did not have a shortage of children's clothes.
Li Daniu wears thin clothes himself.
But the children dressed thickly one by one, like little bear cubs.
Although there is no hostess in the yard, the children are very clean.
Kou Ji was very surprised by this.
When Li Daniu looked horizontally and vertically, he was a big boss.
Unexpectedly, the mind is so delicate and so clean.
Li Zhaoliang also admired this.
And said that he can help Li Daniu with money.
But when the children around Li Daniu grow up, they must help the Li family.
To this.
Li Daniu politely refused.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng did not express anything.
Just when they were about to finish speaking.
Li Zhaoliang's men have already prepared their meals.
When the scent of rice filled the yard, those little guys appeared in front of the people with their probes.
Seeing this, Kou Ji smiled cheerfully: "It seems we want to ask the little owners to eat first."
Li Daniu was embarrassed about this and refused again and again.
Li Zhaoliang and Liu Heng nodded in agreement with Kou Ji's statement.
Kou Ji asked people to distribute the cooked meals to the little guys, and then let them cook again.
The little guys ate their mouths full of oil, and got close to Kou Ji and his party a lot.
Of course, he was only close to the three Kou Ji.
They were afraid of the tribes and pawns who were equipped with swords and armor and dared not get close.
The three of Kou Ji played with the children for a while.
A man at the door hurried to Kou Ji to report, "Little master, the scout from the defensive camp in Xining Prefecture has arrived."
Kou Ji held a five-year-old doll with a slightly big head in his arms, teasing him, and faintly commanded, "Let them wait outside the door..."
The man agreed and withdrew from the yard.
Not long after, the man appeared next to Kou Ji again and reported, "Little Master, Xining Prefecture Zhizhou, please go to Qingshan Tower for a banquet."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "He probably didn't hear my order clearly, so he sent someone to convey my order again."
So back and forth.
Wait for the second round of dinner to be on the table.
The gate of the yard was already full of people, all of whom were in power in Xining Prefecture.
Seeing this, the people in Xining City rushed over to watch.
Kou Ji and his party were eating hot meals in the yard.
A group of people holding great power in Xining Prefecture stood outside the courtyard braving the wind and snow.
Wait until Kou Ji has finished eating.
The chief manager of the workshop in Xining City has sent someone to help Kou Ji clean up a house.
Kou Ji held the five-year-old big-headed doll and sat on the hot kang.
Instructed Liu Heng beside him: "Call Mu Zichuan in."
Liu Heng immediately sent someone to call.
Kou Ji continued to tease the five-year-old big-headed doll.
The doll has no surname and is given the rest of his life.
The reason for the name is that this little guy almost died in the hands of Hanako's help.
When Li Daniu met this little guy, the group of black-hearted Huazi helped by Huazi broke his arm and prepared to raise him for a period of time so that he could ask for money.
That group of black-hearted Hanako, it is probably the first time that they have dealt with such a small baby.
So I didn't know that such a big baby could not withstand their vicious methods.
The little guy almost died on the spot.
It was Li Daniu who saved the little guy and ran to all the drugstores in Xining City to save the little guy's life.
Now the little guy had his life back, but his arm was no longer used.
Li Daniu named him Yu Sheng.
For the rest of his life, he didn't talk much, was a bit clingy, and liked to stay quietly beside the adults, blinking his big eyes, looking at the adults.
Kou Ji gave him a piece of frosting, and he stayed in Kou Ji's arms obediently.
Do not cry or make trouble.
Kou Ji teased the rest of his life for a while, and Mu Zichuan appeared in the room holding a thick stack of papers.
"Xiaguan Mu Zichuan, I have seen an angel."
Mu Zichuan held the paperwork and bowed in salute.
Kou Ji held Yu Sheng and said lightly: "Mu Zichuan, how many years have you been an official?"
Mu Zichuan hurriedly said: "I have been an official for twenty years..."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Twenty years, not short... Then why do you still make some naive mistakes?"
Mu Zichuan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the wrongdoer made?"
Kou Ji put aside the rest of his life, staring at Mu Zichuan, and said coldly: "From the time the Dragon Guardian scout entered your Xining prefecture to today, have you ever played a document to the court
The situation in the Western Regions is changing rapidly. How many times have you written to the officials? "
Mu Zichuan's body trembled slightly, and he defended: "Going back to the angel, the situation in the Western Regions, Xue Gong told the court..."
Kou Ji stared, "Don't know what's wrong?"
Mu Zichuan's knees softened and he almost fell to his knees.
"Xiaguan... Xiaguan knows wrong..."
Kou Ji coldly snorted: "Such a big thing has happened in the Western Regions. You haven't handed over a document to the court so far. You can't escape the two counts of negligence and oversight."
"Xue Gong..."
"To shut up!"
Kou Ji gave a cold cry.
Yu Sheng was taken aback, and subconsciously hugged Kou Ji's arm, blinking and staring at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji suppressed the fire in his heart, and said coldly: "Now that the matter is up, do you still dare to quibble? Xue Tian is Xue Tian, and you are you. You two have different positions and different responsibilities, so you should do things according to your respective responsibilities. .
You are the Zhizhou of Xining Prefecture. If there is any change in Xining Prefecture, you should take the Ming court in time.
If there is any negligence in Xue Tian's urgent memorial, your urgent memorial is very important to the court.
But now, more than half a month has passed, and the court has not received a note from you.
The officials were very dissatisfied with this. "
Mu Zichuan sat down with a thud, and said in a trembled voice: "Xiaguan... Xiaguan knows it was wrong... You must have changed it after you Xiaguan..."
Kou Ji stared at Mu Zichuan with a cold snort, gritted his teeth and said: "I know what you have in mind. You just want to make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes, and do nothing, and nothing can be wrong.
But the current court is not the previous court.
You don't need officials like you who like to rule by doing nothing. "
"The next official... The next official must be changed..."
Kou Ji didn't look at him again, but glanced at Liu Heng, and indifferently said: "Hold him down and show him the will sent by the official."
Liu Heng immediately led Mu Zichuan and left the room.
Arrived outside the room.
An empty place.
Liu Heng took out a sacred decree and handed it to Mu Zichuan.
Mu Zichuan tremblingly accepted the imperial edict, but did not dare to open the imperial edict and look at its contents.
"It doesn't matter if you don't look at it... Your head, the official wants..."
Mu Zichuan's eyes widened in horror, "I just... I just didn't..."
Before Mu Zichuan's words were finished, Liu Heng sneered and said, "What else do you want? Because of your negligence, the court almost made a wrong judgment. Do you know how many people will be killed by this wrong judgment? How much money will it cost the court
You can go with peace of mind.
Your replacement will be there in four days. "
"Puff..."
Liu Heng's men pierced Mu Zichuan with a long sword.
Mu Zichuan glared, fell on the hand, and the blood stained the snow on the ground.
Liu Heng glanced at Mu Zichuan's corpse and returned to the room.
Kou Ji said lightly: "The officials are becoming more and more domineering."
Liu Heng rolled his eyes and murmured, "Obviously you suggested that the officials be ruthless."
Kou Ji pretended not to hear Liu Heng's words, "Call in the lieutenants who are commanding the scouts."
Liu Heng nodded and ordered his subordinates to continue shouting.
Not long after, two men with big arms and round waists appeared in the room.
Kou Ji glanced at them.
"The food is quite fat, and the armor can't cover my stomach."
One of the school lieutenants smiled flatteringly: "Thanks to you, if it were not for you to do business in Xining City, the low-ranking people would not have so much money to make, let alone eat well."
Kou Ji stared at them and asked, "What are your duties?"
The school lieutenant was taken aback, and hurriedly said with a straight face: "Stick to Xining City, resist the barbarian invasion, and spy on the barbarian enemy.
Kou Ji nodded and said, "So, do you all know many things that happened in the Western Regions?"
The school lieutenant nodded quickly, "I know..."
Kou Ji asked: "Then why not report it?"
The school lieutenant hurriedly said: "I reported it, why didn't I report it. The low-ranking class and others reported it to the Shangguan as soon as possible."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "You can blow."
Xiao Wei was taken aback.
Kou Ji said to Liu Heng: "Remember their great achievements."
Liu Heng picked up a document, threw it to one of the lieutenants, and said faintly: "Actually, there is nothing to read. After the court cut the xiang army on the four sides, they led the soldiers of the scout camp daily camp.
I just didn't dare to go to the depths of the grassland, and kept moving outside Xining City.
Either hunting with horses outside the city, or pretending to be a horse thief, plundering passing merchants. "
