Chapter 273
In fact, the economy of Hailing County has developed very well.This place occupies many unique geographical advantages, and most of the magistrates before Wu Lixin were hard-working people, and the agriculture, industry and commerce in the whole county are well distributed.Cui Pu now only needs to erase the mess Wu Lixin made here in the past three years, and then continue to follow the path set by his predecessors long ago.

So even though it is a huge Hailing County, when he took over it, he found that it was much easier than he had imagined before.

When he had completely mastered everything here, there was another news from Yangzhou City - the new magistrate of Yangzhou invited him to go over and talk about it!
Cui Pu didn't want to go.

Although the former Zuo Zhifu could be regarded as a member of the Wu family, at least that person had the ability to distinguish right from wrong, so he would not be led by the nose by Wu.But precisely because of this, he did not help Wu Lixin much in the past three years. This move was disliked by Concubine Wu Hui, so he was pushed down from the position of Yangzhou magistrate and transferred to other prefects.Although it is a flat tone, it can also be said to be a demotion in disguise.

The person who is taking over as the prefect of Yangzhou now is surnamed Zhou. It is a real dog raised by the Wu family. Concubine Wu Hui specially sent it here to escort Wu Lixin.

If this person calls him over now, there must be nothing good!
What's more, the letter actually asked him to bring Mu Jiaojiao there!That's the only thing Mu Jiaojiao knows.

It is conceivable what this person is up to.

Therefore, he said to the person who sent the letter: "Go back and tell the prefect of Zhou that my wife is pregnant with Liujia, and she is still in confinement, so it is not suitable to travel long distances. I want to take care of her, and I can't leave for the time being. If the prefect of Zhou does not If you don’t like it, I’ll go there alone in two days. If not, then just write a letter to let me know if you have anything to do, and I’ll do my best to do it.”

When these words came to Zhou Zhifu's ears, his face turned pale immediately: "This government just came to Yangzhou, and he dared to ignore the orders of the superiors. He is too arrogant! This government wants to report this matter to the saint, and ask the saint to judge. !"

This is clearly distorting Cui Pu's meaning completely, insisting that he is disobedient and punishing him!

"Prefect Zhou, you're overthinking. Didn't he say that their husband and wife are very busy. And it's too exciting to ask them to come here because of a little matter of this king, just to pick him up. .In fact, you only need to send a few people to escort me there, that's enough." The man sitting in the upper seat said slowly, not being provoked by his words at all.

If Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao were here, they would have discovered that the man in front of him with a handsome face and an extraordinary appearance was the King of Hejian County who had already met them twice!
Zhou Zhifu was still very angry. "His Royal Highness, how can this be done? You choose to go to Hailing County to recuperate, which is to give them enough face. You are the honor of the county king. If you go down to that place, what if the local guards don't come to pick you up? What if this is the case? There is something good or bad on the way, how will the next official explain to the saint?"

Does this mean that if Cui Pu and his wife came to pick him up, if there is another accident on the way, it will be Cui Pu's responsibility and nothing to do with him?

Prince Hejian smiled lightly and said, "But now you have also seen that they are not free."

"Just come to pick up people, one day is enough, how could they not be free? When they were in Tianchang County before, Zuo Zhifu was always on call for them, why can't it be their turn now? They are clearly in Public revenge! This kind of unhealthy trend must be curbed, otherwise, if others learn it, how can this government govern the huge Yangzhou government? If people from other places follow suit, the entire government will be messed up! The government absolutely cannot allow such things to happen!" Zhou Zhifu said with righteous indignation.

He was indeed angry.

This time he was sent to Yangzhou to be the magistrate, and he was indeed here to escort Wu Lixin.As long as it can be ensured that Wu Lixin will not have any more troubles in the next three years, then Concubine Wu Hui can use her means to make Wu Lixin sit in the position of Yangzhou magistrate in three years' time.And as long as you sit in this position, you will firmly hold any food, grass, salt, iron, etc. in transit in the Yangzhou area, which will definitely be a great weapon for King Shou's future rule!
Of course, in addition to ensuring that Wu Lixin would not cause trouble, he also had to stop Cui Pu from making any outstanding achievements in Hailing County.Otherwise, if he compares Wu Lixin, the prefect of Yangzhou three years after Wu Lixin will have a dishonorable reputation, which is too disgraceful.

And the first step to suppress Cui Pu is to let him be honest in front of him, and it is best to bow his head to him!
Unexpectedly, before he could take this first step, Cui Pu hit him back!

That kid is so shrewd, and there are many smart people in the Cui family, they should have already guessed the Wu family's plan.Therefore, it is completely understandable that Cui Pu chose to refuse to come and confront him head-on.However, he still had to say - Cui Pu's choice of this method was too clumsy!

Shangguan has an order, but he dare not come, this is contempt for Shangguan.Just because of his behavior, he, the magistrate, can attack him!What's more, now the matter is still related to the safety of Hejian County King... As long as he hears this matter to heaven, he will not worry about the saint not being angry.Then Concubine Wu Hui fanned the flames from the sidelines, so no matter how much credit he had made before, Cui Liulang would not end well.

If this matter can be used to solve him in one fell swoop, then Concubine Wu Hui and the others will be very happy, right?Wu Lixin's journey in the next three years will be easier.

Thinking that this person who has always been regarded as a disaster by the Wu family will be wiped out by himself soon, Zhou Zhifu is in a very good mood, and the corner of his mouth opens into a smile.

King Hejian saw it, and he only asked softly: "When you wrote to them, did you mention this king?"

"My lord, you have a noble body, how can you mention it casually? If someone peeps at you and becomes malicious, what should you do?" Zhou Zhifu said immediately.

So, he just threw a few words to Cui Pu casually, trying to trick Cui Pu over.When Cui Pu came, he would use the eighteen martial arts he had prepared to teach him; if Cui Pu didn't come, it would be to despise the superior and ignore the Hejian County King, which is a serious crime.So, whether to come or not to come, any choice is wrong.

It seems that the family surnamed Wu has lingering fears about the lessons learned in the past three years, and now they are fully prepared to suppress Cui Pu!

And he became the first pawn they used to suppress Cui Pu.

Thinking about it, I am really honored!

"Prefect Zhou, you are right. This king has always acted in a low-key manner, and he doesn't like to get those fancy names. You are doing the right thing. This king's coming to Yangzhou to recuperate, no matter now or in the future, don't make a fuss. Xuanyang. This king only wants to live a peaceful and smooth life here for a few days."

"I understand what the king of the county means. Don't worry, as long as I stay here for a day, I will definitely keep a low profile for you!" Zhou Zhifu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said.

King Hejian nodded: "Then everything will be troublesome to Zhou Zhifu. I am tired, so go down and rest first."

"My lord, please go ahead!" Zhou Zhifu quickly handed over his hands to see him off.

After the person left, a smug smile appeared on his face immediately: "Haha, I never expected that Cui Liu would be caught with such a big handle just after taking office! If Concubine Hui finds out about this, She will definitely be very happy. In the future, there must be a good place in this residence!"

As he said that, he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The government is going to write a memorial to the sage. We must let the sage know the humiliation that Hejian County King suffered here as soon as possible!"

After finishing the memorial, he wrote two more letters. "You send this letter to Shouwang Mansion quietly, and Shouwang will naturally forward it to Concubine Wu Hui. This letter is sent to Tianchang County as soon as possible, and Lord Wu Erlang is invited to come here. The mansion will discuss the next arrangement with him !"

In just two hours, the last letter arrived in Wu Lixin's hands.Anyway, he had nothing to do right now, so he rushed to Yangzhou City immediately.

After entering the government office, it was already dark.

Zhou Zhifu warmly received him and told him the whole story.

Wu Lixin said with a sneer: "Cui Liu never thought that he would have such a day, right? But he made me wait!" Then, he suddenly thought of another thing, "Then when do you plan to take the He was arrested by the government office? You won’t have to wait for the saint’s receipt, will you?”

"How could it be! I've already made up my mind, and I'll ask someone to invite Cui Xianzun here tomorrow. If he doesn't come, he will be tied up! Otherwise, who will bear the anger of King Hejian?" Zhou Zhifu laughed road.

"That's right! He despises the Shangguan, and even ignores the king of Hejian who is the most important thing in the saint. This person is really arrogant! By the way, his wife must be tied together. Otherwise, if He King Jian is ill and no one is taking care of him, so what should we do?" Wu Lixin said with a sinister smile.

Zhou Zhifu nodded quickly: "Mr. Erlang is right, I will definitely follow your orders!"

"What's the next official, I'm the next official now!"

"Hey, Mr. Erlang, you have a bright future. How can you be compared with a vulgar person like Xiaguan? Xiaguan just pretended to make you a teenager and temporarily occupied this place. In less than ten years, you must be mine. I'm a senior official. I call myself a lower official now, but it's just a little earlier in the future."

"Haha, I just found out today that you are so good at talking!"

The two of them were in a very good mood, one was flattering, and the other took it for granted. The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and unconsciously they began to think about the infinitely beautiful future.

But at this moment, a servant came in panting, "Master, it's not good!"

"What's wrong, don't say such unlucky words in front of Mr. Erlang!" Zhou Zhifu quickly scolded with a downcast face.

The little servant knelt on the ground and shouted out of breath, "Master, it's really bad! Hejian County King, Hejian County King... he's sick again!"

"what!?"

Zhou Zhifu was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly got up: "Where is the doctor? Have you invited the doctor?"

"They brought a doctor with them, and they are already treating the county king."

"Hurry up and take me to see it!"

Now that King Hejian is still in the magistrate's house, that is his responsibility.Once there is good or bad, that is his problem.The saint will never spare him!

Zhou Zhifu's heart was terrified, and he hurried to the residence of Hejian County King.

Seeing this situation, Wu Lixin felt a faint worry in his heart—why did he feel this way again?It was exactly the same as every time he always thought he had the upper hand, but Cui Pu slapped him in the face when he turned around!
Could it be this time...

no, I can not!
He shook his head hastily, and then ran over with Zhou Zhifu.

When the two of them arrived at the courtyard where King Hejian lived temporarily, they saw dozens of servants running back and forth, moving all kinds of bags, boxes and cages outside.There are still people at the door directing.

Zhou Zhifu yelled in his heart that it was not good, and hurried to Chang Shi: "Liang Changshi, what are you doing? Didn't you say that the county king is sick and needs to see a doctor?"

"It's just to see a doctor, that's why we are thinking of ways to send the county king to Hailing County as soon as possible!" Shi Lianggao, head of Hejian County Prince's House, said seriously.

Go to Hailing County!

Zhou Zhifu and Wu Lixin were both shocked.

"Why do you want to go to Hailing County?"

"The prince's illness is very serious this time, and the doctor we brought with him can only relieve him a little bit. It will take at least one day for him to get rid of the pain. But the last time he was in Chang'an, the prince was also like this However, Cui Xianzun's wife recovered him in less than a cup of tea with just a golden needle. You said, since the ready-made doctor is not far away, why should we let the county king in this place? place suffers like this?"

So, they don't plan to wait for Cui Pu and his wife to come over, but plan to take the initiative to join them?
Zhou Zhifu's heart felt cold.

"Why don't you ask someone to invite them here now?"

"How much time does it take to come and go? We can save half the time by going directly by ourselves. And haven't you heard that Mrs. Cui Xianzun is pregnant, and the fetus is not very stable. If She has come all the way, and she has no time to take care of herself, so how can she have the energy to manage the county king? What will the county king do then?"

Zhou Zhifu was speechless.

"But the county king just went there like this, it's too unfair!" Wu Lixin hurriedly said.

"Is life important, or is it more important to be righteous? And the county king is a county king personally appointed by a saint, and his status and status are all there. Is it possible that because he was found by himself, they will not respect him?" Liang Changshi Sneered, "Wu Xianzun is also from the Chang'an family, why is his vision so shallow?"

Wu Lixin was so scolded that he wished he could dig a hole in the ground.

Liang Changshi had two lips alone, so they blocked their mouths tightly.In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the group of people quickly packed up their things, and then carried the comatose and bloody Hejian County King into the carriage.

"It's over, it's over, now everyone has run away by themselves, what's the use of the lawsuit I sued the saint?" Zhou Zhifu's face suddenly changed, he turned around and ran back, "Come on, hurry up and give it to me!" Chase! Chase back that memorial and the letter to Concubine Hui!"

Wu Lixin turned around slowly, and suddenly raised his hand to slap himself across the face.

"It hurts." He whispered, but there was a cold smile on his face.
