Chapter 745 (1/2)
North County, city Lord's house.
In the study, an oil lamp was dim and dim. It was dark outside the window. Only the insects from the flower bed made the night more silent and far-reaching.
”My Lord, the squires and merchants who came to see the old lady and those who flattered adults on weekdays have basically offered military pay and completely sided with adults.” He Hai lowered his calm voice and smiled darkly: ”except for a few disobedient and ignorant of current affairs, such as Lord Sun, his subordinates have handled it. Make an example of others. Adults don't have to worry about anything.”
A cruel intention flashed across the bottom of his eyes, and Guan Hou's hand slightly paused: ”Lord Sun... Do you mean sun Hongyi?”
He Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, ”yes, it's sun Hongyi. I heard that the old lady was seriously ill this time, and sun sent his eldest son and daughter-in-law to visit, but he went down to see sun Gongzi that night and was rejected by him before he finished. It can be seen that it's arrogant.”
Listen to Guan Hou's cold hum, He Hai continued: ”Although Lord Sun is the leader of Lanhe City, he has obviously forgotten what adults have done to him before. If it weren't for adults, could he be the leader of Lanhe city today? But he flatly refused when adults need support most. It can be seen that he is not in line with adults. Therefore, my subordinates detained childe sun and Mrs. sun and sent someone to send a letter to Lord Sun quickly , he came to Lingxi in person, and then his subordinates took him... ”
At this point, he knelt down in fear: ”my subordinates make their own decisions. Please forgive me.”
”It doesn't matter! If he doesn't know the current affairs, does it blame the sheriff for being cruel? Hum!” Guan Hou pulled his face and said, ”get up! For such people, we should be cruel and cruel. They will ruin the affairs of the sheriff!”
Say it, writing fast in your hand is like a walking dragon, blinking to draw a line of cursive on the paper.
The first half of the letter is not slow and calm, and the correct small block letters appear atmospheric and pleasing to the eye. But suddenly, the brush edge changed, and the speed was too fast. The storm like cursive script made people stunned and felt a sense of panic.
After writing in a hurry, Guan Hou threw his pen hard, as if he had vented something. He sat down in a chair and didn't speak for a long time.
Staring at the paper, his eyes were dark and gloomy, but his heart was full of killing, as if in the light saber rain, the distant throne was waving to him. His eyes were clear and calm again. He breathed a long sigh of relief and finally said, ”now that it's time to stop, it's too late. He Hai, you must hurry to do it. Is it enough for military pay and Quartermaster?”
”Lord Hui, seven million taels of military pay have been raised, and all the rich gentry who have come here have donated their money. The remaining three million taels are almost the same, and can be completed in a month at most. The military supplies have been prepared through various caravans and sent to Lingxi one after another. You can only return to Beijing two months later, and then you can only wait for the Lord's order To lift the momentum. ”
”Well, good, good...”
With a gloomy smile, Guan Hou finally felt at ease. He had thought about his wish for more than a year and was about to succeed.
After a few more questions, he was about to let he Hai out. Suddenly he remembered something. Guan Hou asked, ”by the way, those so-called miracle doctors still live in shangshanju? Has anything happened?”
”My Lord, they have been living in shangshanju. There is nothing wrong. Instead, they go to Ci'an hall to talk to the old lady every day. The old lady is very happy and laughs all day. It seems that they want to curry favor with you.” He Haidao, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Nodded and didn't doubt anything. Guan Hou said, ”well, in that case, let them live first. After all, it's a critical moment now. If they suddenly disappear, I'm afraid they will attract attention. When I go to the capital, I'll take them with me and solve them on the Road, and I'll be fine.”
”Yes, or adults are cautious.” He Hai bowed his head and said, ”just a few Jianghu doctors. Let them live longer. It's also good for them to treat the old lady.”
……
At this time, the five Longkai people who live in Shangshan are not as leisurely as they seem.
Although they run to Ci'an hall all day, long Ning and Mu Xiaosu do it deliberately to hide people's eyes and ears. Since the assassination that night, people have known that this seemingly honest and loyal Sheriff Guan Hou is actually just a ruthless and dark minded person.
Besides him, who else dares to attack the old lady?
Although several servants were found to replace the dead ghost afterwards, long Ning's eyesight could not see that the servants who were executed were ordinary people and had no ability to deal with old lady Guan at all. Only to cover up their crimes, so there was a hasty conclusion. People who didn't know it would believe it, but LONGNING felt the horror of Guan Hou more and more.
”Dad, it's boring for me to run to Ci'an hall every day. It's pathetic for me to talk with an old lady all day and say those insincere things. Alas, if this goes on, my daughter will be suffocated.” Long Ning sat in front of the table and poured tea bored.
Just came back from Ci'an Tang, I listened to a pile of nonsense from old lady Guan as usual. I either felt that I was blessed with a great life, or I was glad that I had a filial son. Otherwise, her old life could not be saved this time.
Mu Xiaosu looked at the medical skill and suddenly looked up and said, ”in fact, elder martial sister, I think it's good to take care of the old lady. I don't know some things are lucky. Since I can turn bad into good, why should I investigate it? It's plain to make myself unhappy.”
