Chapter 54 Step by step
The three of them walked out of the courtyard. Listening to the laughter coming from the south courtyard, Yao Xiong couldn't help but raise his head.
He no longer looked as dull and exhausted as before, the corners of his mouth almost raised to his ears, and his eyes were full of joy.
"Brother, you have been promoted too quickly. You are now an alternate official, a casual official, and now you are just wandering around."
"In a few days, are you afraid you will be promoted to county magistrate?"
Taozi didn't answer, Tian Zili's eyes were full of expectation.
Yao Xiong suddenly asked again: "Brother, what does this Youyou do? I have never done anything with him."
Tian Zili replied: "You You are responsible for many things."
"Inspect counties and villages, catch thieves, handle cases, transport prisoners, protect Shangguan, and if there is a war, you have to follow the county captain to defend the city!"
Yao Xiong's eyes widened, "What a good job, what a great job!"
Liu Taozi led them to a house, opened the door and walked in.
The courtyard is very clean, with all kinds of sundries placed on both sides, including various types of ordnance and shackles, which are all tools for catching and transporting thieves.
There is a wooden stake in the distance, holding four old horses, which are currently eating.
There are houses on three sides, with tall doors and wide open windows, which are transparent and bright. I don't know how many times better than the environment in the south courtyard.
Tian Zili was fine, but Yao Xiong kept exclaiming.
He almost jumped with joy.
"Brother Taozi will live here from now on??"
"It's not me, it's us."
Liu Taozi looked at them, "My predecessor Youyou was suspected of treason, and all his subordinates were arrested."
The corners of Tian Zili's eyes trembled.
Liu Taozi continued: "They said I can recruit a thief, a cavalry officer, and a law officer. You can all ride horses, right?"
Tian Zili was not too surprised and just saluted Liu Taozi, "I can ride."
But Yao Xiong was motionless at this moment, his whole body stiff.
Suddenly, he knelt in front of Taozi and kowtowed, his voice trembling, "Brother! I will repay you with my death for your great kindness."
"Get up."
Taozi stretched out her hand and pulled him up.
"Do your job well. If you don't do well, then I will replace you."
"only!!"
Yao Xiong was wearing brand new clothes and stood in front of Tian Zili. He couldn't help but turn around a few times and fumbled with the belt. His clothes were shabbier than Liu Taozi's, but he liked them tight.
"I haven't worn new clothes in five or six years!"
Yao Xiong looked at Tian Zili excitedly and showed off his clothes again, "How is it?"
The two of them were sitting in the house, which had two separate rooms with comfortable beds and all kinds of toiletries, many of which Yao Xiong had never seen before.
Tian Zili looked at Yao Xiong with a smile and nodded, "Not bad, it looks good."
He also put on the same clothes.
Yao Xiong then sat next to Tian Zili, cautiously, for fear of getting his clothes dirty.
"Brother Tian, from now on we will be colleagues and serve Liu Gong together!"
"I don't have much ability. I just spent time out herding cattle when I was young, and I know some shooting skills. The rest of my skills are not worth mentioning. If I don't understand something, I'll ask you, and I hope you won't blame me."
"How could it be? They are all working for Mr. Liu, so they must answer all questions."
Yao Xiong pursed his lips and suddenly asked: "Can't Mr. Liu recruit three people? But there are only two of us, why is there still one vacancy?"
Tian Zili smiled and said, "Mr. Liu may have his own arrangements."
Yao Xiong nodded.
Yao Xiong quickly returned to his room. He should sleep well tonight.
However, Tian Zili did not fall asleep. When Yao Xiong heard snoring, he got up and went to the middle room where Liu Taozi was.
Before Liu Taozi fell asleep, Tian Zi bowed to him and sat next to him.
"Mr. Liu."
Hearing this title, Liu Taozi's face felt a little unnatural, "Let's use the old name."
"Brother."
Tian Zili changed his mind, "Now is a good opportunity to cause trouble!"
"You are now valued by Gao Su, and you can carry weapons around the county government office. There are nearly ten students in the law school in the south courtyard."
"There are six Han Chinese among these people. We can win their hearts, but Yao Xiong cannot be used. He is a Qihu, not of my race, and cannot be reused!"
"We led the six people to kidnap Gao Su, started a rebellion in his name, and attacked Yecheng."
Liu Taozi just looked at him calmly and waited until he finished speaking.
"Then what?"
"ah?"
"Conquer Yecheng and continue talking."
"Then. Then it was."
"What happened?"
"Revitalize our Han family. When the time comes, my eldest brother will be the emperor! The name of the country will be Han."
Liu Taozi spoke, "Cheng'an has 500 soldiers, the county government has 300 guards, 800 people, plus the levied minzhuang, we must gather 3,000 or 4,000 people to attack Ye, who has tens of thousands of elites."
After taking Yecheng, we still have to deal with Jinyang's truly elite counterattack."
He looked at Tian Zili and said, "Is this what you mean?"
"This is me."
"Why do you want to rebel?"
"Why are you rebelling? Brother, in this world, tyrants, evil ministers, and fishy people make the people miserable, and we are all treated like animals. Shouldn't we revolt?"
"I don't think so. You want to cause trouble just to do big things and make a name for yourself. It has nothing to do with the people."
Tian Zili stood up suddenly, his eyes red, "My whole family died in the hands of these beasts! From my seventy-year-old father to my six-year-old sister, everyone in the world who cares about me
All dead!"
"They set fire to my home and took away my property, but in the end they said it was an accidental fire!!"
"I don't want to be famous, I want to kill all these beasts, I want to save the people of the world!!"
"I'm going to kill these."
Liu Taozi just watched him calmly as he vented his anger.
Tian Zili roared, but tears kept falling. At the end, he could no longer speak and cried bitterly.
Liu Taozi spoke again.
"Good ambition."
"Someone once told me that if he offered wine as a sacrifice, he would protect students from a county so that they could complete their studies."
"If he can take charge of a county, he will protect the people of the county to live and work in peace and contentment."
"Anyone can say it to save the world, but it's not that easy to do it."
"If you want to save the world, you might as well try to save the people of Cheng'an first."
"Perhaps we can save a few children whose families are about to be destroyed, so that they can avoid the same suffering as you."
Tian Zili raised his head and was about to speak.
"Bang."
Someone opened the door and saw Yao Xiong wearing new clothes, holding a waist knife, and his face was full of nervousness.
"Brother! What happened?! I heard a roar!"
The next day, as soon as Liu Taozi walked out of the door, she saw a person standing at the door.
It was Lu Qubing. When he saw Taozi coming out, he waved.
"Let's go."
Taozi followed him directly without asking any questions.
"There is too much food prepared for me, and I can't finish it by myself. Please eat some with me, and let them cook less tomorrow."
Lu Qubing talked as he walked, and the two of them walked towards his residence.
"I was supposed to live in the backyard, but the county official lives over there, so I live in the north courtyard. We are very close."
"Yesterday, you really shouldn't have asked for an official position. Wouldn't it be bad if the county magistrate thought you were trying to repay a favor?"
The two walked into Lu Qubing's house. It was really a big house, more than three times bigger than the one Liu Taozi lived in. Several officials stood at the door with their heads lowered and smiles on their faces.
When he saw the two people coming in, he hurriedly started to prepare. Even if he was not busy, he had to make way. Qubing saw that he was very busy.
The two of them sat in the front yard, which was very spacious. The roads were paved with gravel, and there were various trees planted around it. There were flowers along both sides of the corridor.
"Yesterday, the county official asked me about Cheng'an's situation in detail. He will not leave from now on. He will manage Cheng'an well."
"Don't worry about the county school. I heard that someone came here. Well, he's a pretty good person."
Lu Qubing ate the hot soup and said seriously: "It is a blessing for everyone in Cheng'an to have a person like the county magistrate to take charge of the county."
"I want to find ways to change the situation in the county, assist the county government, and protect the people of the county."
"Brother Peach"
Lu Qubing lowered his voice, his eyes full of pleading.
"From now on, you will be wandering around. If something happens to you, remember to use the law to solve it."
"Don't do murder again!!"
