    ?

    (ps: The results of the monthly pass are dismal, so I begged for the monthly pass at 360 degrees.)

    Shengjing Pass is a very magical pass. There are two pairs of stone lions under the pass name archway. The stone lions on the Yunnan side are covered with dry and thin soil for many years, while the Guizhou side is covered with lush moss.  However, there is a clear distinction between three feet, and at the foot of the stone lion, there is a more distinct soil boundary formed naturally. The red soil on the Yunnan side, and the brown soil on the Guizhou side, cross mountains and rivers like a line.  The creek, stretching for hundreds of miles, neatly separates Guizhou and Yunnan provinces

    The above passage seems to have been plagiarized from there, but the original author will certainly not pursue it, let alone sue, so we will pretend that there is no plagiarism.

    In June, the baby¡¯s face changed as soon as it was said, the sky was still clear in the morning, but at noon, the sky at Shengjingguan was suddenly covered with dark clouds, the new wind picked up, and it was about to rain, and the pedestrians on the road were running around in shock.  Find shelter from the rain.  But under the Shengjingguan archway, there is such a large group of people who are completely motionless¡ªin fact, they dare not move because they want to, because right under the parasol in front of them, there are a lot of Qujing civil and military officials standing and sitting.  There were Li Xingyuan, the procuratorate of Yunnan Province, and Li Xingyuan, the charming and upright Daqing Gege Kong Sizhen, two big figures present. Without them speaking and nodding, who would dare to mess around?

    "Si Gege, why hasn't the imperial envoy come yet? It's almost raining." Looking at the sky, Li Xingyuan, who was invited by Kong Sizhen and Li Shizu to beat the drums to cheer, was a little worried. He turned to Kong Sizhen beside him and asked:  "Si Gege, are you sure that the imperial envoy will come to Shengjing Pass today? Will the wait be in vain?"

    "Absolutely, Yu Chenglong stayed at Yizi Kongyi in Pu'an Hall (now Pan County) last night, and set off for Shengjingguan this morning." Kong Sizhen nodded for confirmation, and said: "Calculate the distance  , he will definitely be able to reach Shengjing Pass at noon today, no matter how patiently he waits, if it is going to rain, he will definitely speed up his journey."

    Li Xingyuan had no choice but to wait patiently, but after waiting left and right, no imperial envoys appeared on the mountain road at the foot of Shengjingguan Mountain, but the dark clouds in the sky were getting denser and denser, and the sound of the wind had already caught a little bit  Rain.  As a result, Kong Sizhen under the parasol couldn't sit still, thinking that the parasol above his head would be useless after the heavy rain, and Kong Sizhen, who didn't want to be drenched, had no choice but to stand up and say:  "Let's go into the guard barracks temporarily to hide from the rain, and come out when the rain stops."

    "Cover." All the officials happily agreed, rushing to the barracks to shelter from the rain, but Zhou Peigong suggested to Kong Sizhen: "Si Gege, we can go in to shelter from the rain, and these people pretending to be children, soldiers and servants don't have to move."  It¡¯s better to let them soak in the rain before complaining in front of the imperial envoy.¡±

    Anyway, Kong Sizhen didn't want to get himself in the rain. Of course, Kong Sizhen readily agreed to such a good suggestion. At that moment, Kong Sizhen called Li Suzu, Di Sanpin, An Shiji and others, and asked them to order their children, soldiers, and servants to continue to wait.  , Do not scatter to shelter from the rain.  Li Shizu and others obeyed the order, pretending to be children of Qujing people, servants and green battalion soldiers, all of them cursed in their hearts, but they dared not disobey the order, so they had to watch Kong Sizhen, Li Shizu and other important figures enter the closed room to avoid the rain, and  They stayed where they were and waited out the rain.

    When the thunder exploded and the raindrops the size of broad beans began to fall, a beggar who had been hiding in the shade of a tree by the roadside to enjoy the shade ran out from behind the team of fake people, and asked the fake people with unkempt hair, "Gentlemen, why are you still doing this?"  Don't hide from the rain? It's going to rain heavily, why are you still standing there?"

    "Hide the ball! Didn't you see the men doing business here?" A servant pretending to be a commoner growled angrily, "Get out of here, you stinking beggar, don't be an eyesore here!"

    "Business?" The middle-aged beggar seemed to have realized something, and was about to walk away to find a place to shelter from the rain.  Never thought that another strong man with a face full of flesh but wearing tattered animal skins would come out of the team, beckoning and calling: "Beggars, stop, do you want to earn ten cents?"

    "Earn ten pennies?" The beggar was startled for a moment, and then he looked happy, and hurriedly said: "Think, think, my lord, what do you want beggars to do?"

    "I don't want you to do anything, I'll take advantage of you." The burly man said: "You just stand here, and a high-ranking official will come, and if others kneel, you should kneel, and if others kowtow, you should kowtow."  , when others cry for injustice, follow suit, without saying a word, when the high official leaves, I will give you ten coins, will you do it?"

    "Okay, okay, I'll do it, of course I'll do it." The beggar happily agreed, and quickly followed the strong man into the team of fake civilians, hiding among the crowd.  At this time, the sky was thundered one after another, and the rain was pouring down.?He smiled and asked back: "Will the people trained by the iron-faced Wang Xu be so simple?"

    "You dog slave, you are really a bug in my slave's stomach!" Kong Sizhen cast a coquettish look at Zhou Peigong, and said in a low voice, "Then what do you think should be done? What is this guy planning?"

    "What's the idea? Of course it's in person, and in the back." Zhou Peigong sneered and said, "If he's acting on purpose, then he will definitely try to get in touch in private, and he will investigate the case alone without us. Deal with it  The only way for such a person is to keep an eye on him, to keep an eye on him, and to keep an eye on him, as well as the twelve followers under him, and don¡¯t relax any of them! Just hang on for a while, and wait for the prince  Now, this kind of fledgling little censor is just a loach in a small ditch¡ªit can¡¯t get over the big waves!¡±

    "Smart." Kong Sizhen smiled sweetly, and said in a low voice: "From now on, you and Li Suzu will keep an eye on Yu Chenglong every step of the way, and then gradually put pressure on him according to the plan. Other things should be done carefully."

    Zhou Peigong nodded, and looked at Kong Sizhen with a smug grin.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After a while, Yu Chenglong, Kong Sizhen, Li Shizu and others left Shengjing Pass together, and rushed to Pingyi to have a banquet and rest.  After they walked away, the fake people secretly organized by Li Shizu began to disperse and go back to their homes. The twenty or so beggars who had been temporarily organized by the brawny man found the brawny man again and asked him  He reached out to beg for wages, and the burly man was also very generous, and generously paid the previously agreed wages-five cents per person!

    "Master, isn't it ten Wen per person? Why are you only giving five Wen?" A beggar asked timidly.

    "It's ten yuan per person, but I take care of you on such a good job, shouldn't I charge you a little labor fee?" The brawny man asked back with a big face.

    "Grandpa, you just said ten cents" A little beggar begged pitifully, "We've been standing here for a long time, so you can reward us with two more and buy us something to eat."

    "Go to hell!" The brawny man kicked the little beggar away, and cursed viciously: "You poor beggars, it's your fate to earn five cents today.  In the year before last, you stinky beggars, I had to charge each of you three pennies a day in tax, and now I don¡¯t charge your tax, go have fun.¡±

    "Master, are you from the yamen?" the beggar who joined the line last asked.

    "Of course." The brawny man said triumphantly, "Don't look at me dressed like this now, but in fact, I used to be the deputy arrester of the prefect's yamen in Qujing, and I can arrest you at any time and put you in jail! How about it?  ? Are you scared?"

    "Oh, so it's the head catcher." The middle-aged beggar nodded, took away half of the deducted labor fee, pulled up the little beggar before him and walked south, and said, "Little brother, let's go, don't let the head catcher."  The master is getting angry, let's go to another place to beg for food. I'm not familiar with this place, do you know the way to Qujing?"

    "Yes, uncle, do you want to go to Qujing to beg for food? I came from Xuanwei to beg for food. I heard that there is a new good county magistrate in Qujing. Life is better. You can find something to do there and you won't die of hunger."  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
