The three of them were sitting in the courtyard.
Qilou Nan probably also ate a bowl of Taozi's broth and praised it repeatedly.
Lu Qubing was digesting the news he got from Qi Lou Nan or here, and explained it to Tao Zi beside him.
"Guo Gong, called Guo Yuanzhen, his father is Guo Qingli, the general who conquered the captives, and his eldest father is Wen Zhengong, the chariot general of the Later Wei Dynasty!"
"He comes from a famous family, after Guo Liang, the younger brother of Guo Huai, a famous general in the former Wei Dynasty."
"The former county magistrate called Bu Dahanxiu, who contracted with the Huns. His father was the Duke of Yiyang County, but he was dismissed because he was defeated and disappeared in the war."
Lu Qubing realized that the beggar on the side was in trouble, so his words were not too straightforward.
Perhaps Qilou Nan didn't care about this at all. He ate very deliciously and made a very rude sound, still muttering in his mouth:
"I could have stayed in the county and worked as a casual official."
"It turns out there is a shortage of local officials here, so they sent it to me. Damn it, if I had known I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
He sobbed without saying anything clearly, but his eyes were full of annoyance.
Lu Qubing was sober at the moment, "Actually, it's not bad to leave the county."
"Major events occur frequently in the county. First, three Baibao Xianbei were lost, and then someone killed officials. Now, someone broke into the official residence and killed more than ten people. Such evil behavior has never been heard of since the founding of the country."
Qilou Nan glanced at him and wanted to say something, but held back.
"If it's a small town in another county, that's fine. This is Cheng'an. It's next to Yecheng, also known as the Capital!"
"The temple will definitely send important ministers to rectify the situation outside the city, which will save a lot of trouble."
Listening to Lu Qubing's words, Qilou Nan fell into deep thought, with a different kind of light shining in his eyes.
“We still have to find a way to return to the county seat!”
Qi Lou Nan said something and hurriedly looked towards Lu Qubing.
"Don't misunderstand me, Mr. Lu, I am not seeking pleasure, but the troubles in the countryside are much greater than in the county town."
"Before, there were dozens of Xianbei people who were killing indiscriminately in the countryside. These people didn't care about the law at all. They would kill us if they met us. I was afraid of falling into their hands!"
Qi Lou Nan was talking, and Xiao Wu on the side nodded, "Yes, two people came here three days ago, from Licun, saying that they met a group of Xianbei people in their village, and they were chattering and couldn't listen.
They knew what to say, but when those people saw that they didn’t answer, they killed people and set fire to them.”
"It's pretty scary."
Mrs. Liu Zhang stepped forward at some point and reprimanded: "How can you interrupt when adults are talking?"
Drag him and leave the front yard.
The three people in the courtyard fell silent.
Lu Qubing and Taozi's time is limited, so they must hurry up and go back to avoid being locked up outside the city.
Qi Lou Nan still warmly invited them to stay longer.
"I have a donkey that I can lend to Mr. Lu, why should I be anxious?"
"No, no need. I've ridden the donkey, but it's inconvenient for me to beg for a building."
Lu Qubing took his hand again and said: "My good friend's family is a kind house. In this village, the people are simple and honest, and everyone is kind. I only hope that Mr. Qilou Nan can take more care of me. I will definitely prepare a small gift."
Qilou Nan looked at him in surprise and uncertainty.
In his impression, this talkative man didn't know much about the world, and always had a commanding tone when speaking to his colleagues.
He is simple-minded and shows off things in the book.
Over time, no colleagues were close to him.
He hurriedly replied: "Why did Lu Jun say this? You and I are close friends, do you still need any gifts for this little thing? Don't worry, Mr. Lu!"
Taozi was saying goodbye to Liu Zhang in the house at the moment.
"You can take the exam if you are in school at full term. After returning this time, you can prepare to take the exam."
"Mother, be prepared, I will find a job as a village official."
"The further away from the city, the better."
Mrs. Liu Zhang just sighed.
Soon, the two of them were on their way.
The cold wind hit, and the weeds were neatly pressed down, almost flush with the ground, revealing the damaged skeleton hidden among the weeds.
Lu Qubing's expression was particularly serious.
"Cui Mou really wants to kill us."
"The Guo county magistrate he was talking about was related to Duke Yang, and Duke Yang was at odds with the Cui family. Cui Mou's father was dismissed from his official title because of Duke Yang."
"When the new county magistrate comes, he will definitely find a way to deal with Cui Mou. He is afraid that I won't be able to hide things."
"Oh, I really can't hide it either."
"That Hu'er didn't lie. They were planning to attack us while we were out. If it hadn't been for this incident, we would have been buried under these weeds."
"So, Brother Taozi, was it you who broke into Fei Zongxian's mansion at night and killed so many people?"
Lu Qubing asked coldly.
Before Taozi opened her mouth, he hurriedly said: "Forget it, don't tell me."
"I can't hide things."
The two of them continued walking towards the distance.
Lu Qubing lamented: "In this world, kind and simple people are bullied. This is wrong."
"In the past, I just wanted to wait for the world to get better so that I could go out and make contributions."
"Now it seems that if you want to change the world, you still have to rely on yourself. Even a famous person like Cui Mou is like this. Who else can be relied on?"
"I want to work hard. If I were in charge of the school, I would protect thirty students so that they can complete their studies hard."
"If I were in charge of a county, I would protect the people of the county to live and work in peace and contentment. If I were the censor, I would not allow traitors to run rampant in the country."
"I will never regret it until my death."
Lu Qubing looked a little excited, his whole body was full of fighting spirit, his whole body changed from his original decadence and confusion, his eyes were shining with light.
"Brother Taozi, what about you?"
"What are your ambitions?"
"Be a local official and bring my mother to move here."
Lu Qubing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "What a great ambition! If my mother were alive, I would do the same thing!"
When the two returned to the county town again, Yao Xiong was still in charge of registration here.
He looked quite tired.
At this moment, there were several people chatting behind him. These people were luxuriously dressed and behaved arrogantly. Lu Qubing had never seen them before.
Yao Xiong just gestured to them but did not dare to talk.
Watching the two of them enter the city, Yao Xiong sat there in a daze.
The sky is constantly changing, and the night is getting darker.
"Qihu! It's you! Change the shift!"
The knight guarding the gate scolded him, and Yao Xiong stood up shakily. His legs were sore and numb. The moment he stood up, he almost fell to the ground.
He sat here for a whole day without taking a break. He only ate some water in between, and he was almost exhausted.
But even so, he had to nod to those people with a flattering look on his face, and then limped towards the county government office.
My whole body ached, and with every step I took, every part of my body was loudly telling the story of its pain.
Yao Xiong just walked to the county government office.
Outside the various gates of the county government, there were many strange Xianbei people standing there.
They were fully armed and had fierce eyes. They stood in various arteries and stared at the people passing by.
A petty official like Yao Xiong could not enter through the main entrance, so he went around to the left side of the county government office and entered the courtyard through a small door.
It was dark, but there were still many people in the courtyard. Some were covering their legs, some were rubbing their heads, and some were lying on the ground motionless.
The stench billowed over me.
There was only firelight at the door of the house opposite, which could barely illuminate half of the courtyard.
Yao Xiong found a place and lay down as comfortably as possible.
He took a few bites of the cake and his face became even more ugly.
"This is not as good as a school room."
Someone complained.
Yao Xiong was stunned, remembered something, and looked to his left and right, "Do you know who I saw today?"
"Who?"
"Brother Taozi and Lu Lingshi!"
Yao Xiong excitedly told everyone what happened to them at the city gate today, and everyone listened happily.
"It would be great if Brother Taozi was here."
Yao Xiong said with emotion: "Back in the law school, we were also bullied. The stench in the courtyard was terrible. Every time the old officials came to deliver food, they would curse and chatter endlessly."
"Those noble people outside will come in from time to time and make fun of us for them to play with. We have to endure all kinds of insults."
"Lu Lingshi couldn't persuade them."
"But as soon as Brother Taozi came, the old officials stopped talking, and the noble people outside didn't dare to come in again, and they were never bullied again."
The other few people also nodded, as if they were nostalgic.
"This place is not as good as the school. The officials bullied us, the soldiers bullied us, and even the old officials bullied us, treating us like cows or horses, not giving us any rest, and taking away our meals.
"
The more Yao Xiong talked, the more excited he became.
"There are still ten days left, Brother Taozi is coming!"
"We can endure this, but he may not be able to!"
"Our good days are coming."
Chapter completed!
