The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 6 Chapter 41: 1 Promise never promises to kill

Li Hu drove to Cheng Jia's residence.

Cheng Jia is not currently serving in Wei County, and he is the former official of Xun Zhen, so he cannot live in the county official's house. He rents a house and lives with Yu Du's neighbor. Apart from him, there were only a few disciples, slaves and a little wife he brought from Zhao County to live with him.

Most of the people who lived in this house were rich and famous. The gate was very high, and the road in the middle was wide enough to accommodate cars.

Li Hu did not get out of the car, so he ordered the royal driver to drive in and go straight to Cheng Jia's house.

A follower knocked on the door.

Not long after, the courtyard door opened, and a strong man in black shorts showed his head, glanced at the entourage, then glanced at the car parked on the road outside the door, and asked, "Who are you?"

The entourage replied, "I am under Li Cheng's sect."

"Which Li Cheng?"

"...The county chief Li Gong."

The strong man scratched his hands, raised his neck and thought, probably thinking about who "Gun Li Gong" was, but he might not have come up with a name. - After Xun Zhen took office, Li Hu had no right to exist in the county. I don't feel strong, especially if this strong man is from the county, so he followed Cheng Jia to Wei county not long ago, and he was not an official in the county. Cheng Jia never told him about county affairs. He didn't even have any impression of Li Hu, he thought nothing, and immediately put down his face, and said impatiently: "My house is not a court, why are you knocking on my door?"

The entourage was dumbfounded and angry, and held back his anger and said, "Li Chengte has come to visit the master of the Jun family. Is the master of the Jun family here?"

"My master went out early in the morning."

"When will you be back?"

"do not know."

"Where did you go?"

"do not know."

This strong man is one of Cheng Jia's followers. He can be brought to Wei County by Cheng Jia. He is very strict. He doesn't know anything when he asks three questions.

Li Hu, the chief of the county, took Li Hu's words, "I am also a doctor under the imperial court" and cannot wait for Cheng Jia outside the door.

The entourage said, "Li Cheng has something important to see the master of the Jun family. Please open the door with one step, and welcome Li Cheng into the hospital to wait for the master of the Jun family."

But the strong man refused and said, "My master is not at home, and there are female dependents in the house. I am a diners at the gate, and I am not good at welcoming outsiders into the house." Turning back, the courtyard door was closed with a "click".

Where has this entourage ever seen such rude and vulgar servants? stunned.

He was about to get angry, but the strong man had already closed the door.

The people living in this li are all rich and noble families in the county. He can't ignore his demeanor and yell at the door. With his servants, it can be seen from the servants, Cheng Jia is not much better! The public is a noble man, and he is a corporal who is willing to come to see him, but he is humiliated by this! It is better to return first, wait for Cheng Jia to return, and call him to see him."

When Li Hu heard this, he was not angry but happy.

The entourage said in surprise: "Cheng Jianu is extremely rude, and when he asks three questions, he refuses you to leave the door. Why is Jun not angry but happy?"

"So you can only be my entourage, not me."

"Public morality is highly respected, and it is not comparable to subordinate officials."

"Xinling Jun Lixian is a corporal, and he will win Marquis Ying, Xiao Xiangguo is eager to chase Huaiyin Marquis, and Gaozu will win the world. If you want to be used by others, you must first show your sincerity. Cheng Jia is not at home, and his servants refuse me outside the door. This is right It's time for me to show my sincerity."

The entourage was greatly admired and said, "Only the Duke has such an air of humility, it's just..."

"how?"

"If the bus stops outside Chengjia's gate for too long, if it is known by the lord, will it be?"

"It would be better if Yuzhou'er knew about this."

"The official is stupid, what does the public say?"

"If Yuzhou's children knew about this, they would definitely be suspicious of Cheng Jia. Cheng Jia was already resentful, and being suspicious of Yuzhou's children would make things worse. It would definitely mean betrayal, and it would be easier for me to use it."

This entourage was in awe, and said: "The public plan is brilliant, wonderful, wonderful!"

Li Hu laughed, looked out of the car, looked at the sky, the scorching sun was hot, and said to the entourage: "Summer heat, don't stay outside the car, just sit in your car and wait for Cheng Jia to return home. ."

The follower agreed, returned to his car, logged in and sat down.

Li Hu was the prefect of the county. When he was traveling, there were 600 stone officials in front of and behind the honor guard.

Several households who knew Li Hu well saw that he was stationed outside Chengjia Gate, and they came to greet him one after another, and they were all surprised that he was waiting for Cheng Jia. Cheng Jia is Xun Zhen's cronies, Li Hu is Zhao Ran's cronies, these two are "enemies", but why is Li Hu waiting for Cheng Jia here in the face of the sun? Although he was surprised, he couldn't ask him outright. Two people invited him to sit in his house for a while, but Li Hu refused one by one.

Next to Cheng Jia's house is Yu Du's residence.

After getting a report from the servants in the house, Yu Du went upstairs to look up the road outside the house, and saw that Li Hu's car was parked outside Cheng Jia's house.

Yu Du was also surprised, but was overjoyed immediately.

He thought: "Li Hu will not come to Cheng Jia for no reason. There must be a story in it. I should report this to the lord. I think that my loyalty will be praised by the lord."

Just a few months ago, Yu Du was still a hero with a large army of soldiers. Once he was defeated, his military power and power were like ice. After a while, he even lost his money and planned to do "sniffing" activities.

Li Hu's car was driving on the road. If Yu Du went out at this moment, Li Hu would see him. He pressed eagerly and waited for Cheng Jia to come back.

After waiting for a long time, Cheng Jia did not return by car until the shadow of the sun slanted westward.

Yu Po was full of energy and hid upstairs, watching carefully the scene when Cheng Jia and Li Hu met.

I saw Li Hu get out of the car, and Cheng Jia also got out of the car. The two said a few words outside the courtyard, and Cheng Jia took Li Hu into the courtyard.

"Great!"

Yu Du was overjoyed, and rushed down the stairs, took off his casual clothes, put on his clothes, quietly went out of the courtyard gate, and went to the prefect's mansion to inform.

...

Cheng Jia's house in the hall.

Cheng Jia and Li Hu took their seats separately.

Cheng Jia asked, "Jun Shi said outside the car that he has something to discuss with him?"

"Exactly."

"Don't know what?"

Li Hu and Cheng Jia just met. They didn't know each other well before, so he couldn't just say "Zhao Ran wants to buy you", he had to find a topic to buffer him, so he didn't answer Cheng Jia's question first, and said with a smile: "I heard that The people of the noble house said that you went out early in the morning. You came out in the morning light and returned in the twilight. On this hot day, you have been running around for a day. I don’t know why you are busy? If you need my help, please feel free to ask. In a word."

Li Hu can really help with Cheng Jia's work.

Xun Zhen asked Cheng Jia to bribe Zhao Ran's close people to find out the exact number of Zhao family members. Friends make friends, hoping to find opportunities to connect with the Zhao family's guests and slaves from these local snakes in Ye County.

Li Hu is Zhao Ran's capable lackey. He will definitely be able to help in this matter, but no one knows that he will never help with this task.

Cheng Jia said to him with a smile: "I'm not busy. ... To tell the truth, everything in my life is good, but there is only one shortcoming."

"I dare to ask what is it?"

"'The widow is sick'."

This is claiming to be lewd.

Li Hu said with a smile: "'Food **** is also', this can't be considered insufficient."

"I came to Wei County from Fujun. When I came, I only brought a little wife with me. I don't think the time is short. Now that the days are getting longer, I go home every day, always facing such a yellow face, I feel very boring. So I want to take another wife in Wei County, these days, I'm busy with this."

"Can someone agree?"

Cheng Jia scratched his chin and said, "I've met a few. They all look pretty good, but they're almost all in shape."

"About your figure?"

Cheng Jia stretched out his hand and drew an inner arc in front of his chest, turned his hand behind his butt, and drew another inner arc, giving Li Hu a "you know" wink, retracting his hand, pinching his sparse beard, hehe. laughed.

He was ugly and ugly, as thin as a chicken, and with such back-and-forth gestures, plus a lewd smile, his appearance was really unsightly.

Li Huqiang resisted the urge to close his eyes and turn his head and spit at him, and Cheng Jia also said "I understand" and said with a smile, "Jun Zhihao is the same as me." He thought, "Just like you, thin and small Like a chicken, how about a plump girl? I'm not afraid of crushing you!"

"Oh? Is it?"

"If you like this kind of thing, I can give you one."

Cheng Jia waved his hands again and again, and said, "A gentleman doesn't take people's favor, this is not good, this is not good."

"Although I have had little contact with you before, I have heard about your talent for a long time, and I have long admired you. 'The head is as new as the old one', just now I stopped in the car and talked with you in the middle lane, It can be regarded as 'the same as the old', a mere woman, why should you refuse?"

Cheng Jia is smart and keen. When he knew that Li Hu had been waiting for him outside his door for a long time, he guessed that Li Hu was going to the Three Treasures Palace without incident. this judgment.

He thought in his heart: "The lord of the government is in charge of the prefecture, although Li Hu is the prefect of the prefecture, he has to fill up his seat, he can't come to me for official business; I don't have much communication with him, so it's impossible for him to come to me. It was for personal matters. He waited for me on the road with the sun for a long time, as the so-called 'if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something'. If you want to give me a beautiful woman, this is again 'do what I like, and what you want will be big', what does he want to do?..., ah, isn't it?"

Thinking of his own family, he is busy bribing the insiders of the Zhao family. If he can buy the insiders of the Zhao family by Xun Zhen's order, Zhao Ran can also send Li Hu to buy the people around Xun Zhen. Could it be that Li Hu is for this matter? come?

When Cheng Jia thought of this, he was furious and felt that Zhao Ran and Li Hu had insulted him.

Buying an insider is a secret matter. It is impossible for Zhao Ran and Li Hu to buy him when they feel unsure. Since Li Hu is here, then he and Zhao Ran must feel that they can buy them. There are so many people around Xun Zhen, I don’t know. Zhao Ran and Li Hu both chose who to buy, but no matter who they chose, Cheng Jia was chosen, which was an insult to Cheng Jia.

"Although I, Cheng Jia, don't have the appearance of Gongda or Yulang, do I look like an unrighteous person?"

He was very concerned about his appearance. The first thing that came to his mind was that Li Hu and Zhao Ran discriminated against him for being ugly and short. Thinking of this, he became more and more annoyed, but his anger turned into annoyance. He still had a smile on his face. It was to buy him off. In order to confirm the matter, he simply stopped rejecting it, made a happy appearance, and said, "Your words are very true, it's because I'm too foreign."

Li Hu heard what he meant by saying that he was willing to accept the gift of a beautiful woman, and said happily: "Then it's settled, I'll bring it to you tonight."

"I won't be rewarded without merit, and received a great gift from the king. Jia Po is afraid. I don't know why the king came to Jia's house? Please tell me. Whatever Jia can do, he will not refuse."

"I came to Jun's house today because I admire Jun's talent, so I took the liberty of visiting."

According to the current social customs, if a person wants to make friends with another person, he usually needs an introducer, and it is rude to visit the door without an introducer.

Cheng Jia was flattering after taking advantage of others, and said sincerely: "As Jun Shicai said, you and I are the same as the old man. When you come to my house and make me shine, why is it rude?"

"Your name is heavy on Zhao and Wei, and you are a scholar of Ji. Although Hu knows that he is stupid, he can't suppress his admiration for the wise. The second reason is that he wants to make friends with you."

Hearing this, Cheng Jia had determined that Li Hu had come without notice this time, and he must have come to help Zhao Ran to bribe him. He pretended to hesitate and did not reply.

Li Hu Xin said: "Fang heard that I gave him a beautiful woman, he changed his appearance, and his face was full of flattery. He heard that I wanted to make friends with him, but he was hesitant. This must be because he was afraid of Yuzhou's anger." He asked, "Your Majesty He didn't answer for a long time, but if Jun Youfu learned about this, he would be angry with him?

Cheng Jia was silent.

Seeing that he was willing to listen to his words, Li Hu knew that he had guessed his concerns. Seeing that he did not interrupt his words, Li Hu knew that he should be the same as his own analysis. With a lot of energy, he said what he had thought up for a long time: "My friendship with you is purely because of your ability to admire you. What is the relationship between me and your ruler? Although you have reprimanded me, I have to say that the mansion is by no means a narrow-minded person, and as I expected, he will never blame you for your friendship with me."

Li Hu's words were very skillful, and his implication was that if Xun Zhen blamed Cheng Jia for being angry, it would mean that Xun Zhen was a narrow-minded person, and a narrow-minded person was certainly not worthy of allegiance.

Cheng Jia seemed to be moved.

Li Hu continued his efforts and said, "If it's difficult for you to get rid of this concern, it's not difficult, just don't let the lord know about it? As long as you don't say it, I don't say it, and there is no one else in the hall, how can the lord do it? Know this?"

Hide this and don't tell Xun Zhen, so that Cheng Jia doesn't have to worry about Xun Zhen's possible anger. What a good friend, I waited for you on the street for a long time in the scorching sun, gave you a beauty, and always thought of you. This is because I really want to make friends with you.

Cheng Jia looked as moved and said, "It is a blessing to have you as a friend."

If it were Xu Zhong, Xin Ai, Liu Deng and others, Li Hu would not be allowed in at all. If it was replaced by Cen Yan and others, they would have reluctantly invited Li Hu to be admitted to the hospital, but they would have turned their face and expelled Li Hu immediately after hearing that Li Hu wanted to buy.

Cheng Jia was different from them. He thought to himself, "Since you think I'm easy to bribe, and come to bribe me, I'll let you bribe me!"

He made a very emotional and flattered look, and after a few conversations with Li Hu, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

Li Hu said, "Why do you sigh?"

"Oh, you don't know something."

"Don't know what?"

Cheng Jia hesitated.

Li Hu was amazed and thought, "Does he want to tell me his dissatisfaction with Yuzhou's children?" He encouraged Cheng Jia and said, "I have already made an appointment with you as friends, do you still want to do something unspeakable to your friends? If you have anything to do, please tell me."

"Ye, Wei County is also governed. It is not easy to live in, and it is not easy to live in."

Li Hu was stunned, thinking that Cheng Jia was going to express his dissatisfaction with Xun Zhen, but he didn't expect that he was going to cry poor.

But after thinking about it carefully, Cheng Jia has not been with him for a long time. Even if he is dissatisfied with Xun Zhen again, he will not say anything to him at this time.

Li Hu is the governor of the county and Zhao Ran's lackey. He has plenty of money and is quite a rich man. In the face of his brocade-clothed swords and fragrant car slaves, Cheng Jia is "ashamed of himself" and a little jealous, because of his wealthy personality In other words, it is more than normal.

Li Hu Xin said: "I'm not afraid that you don't cry poor, but I'm afraid that you don't want money." He smiled, "So it's for this! How difficult is this."

"You are not me, I don't know how difficult it is for me. I don't have any official position in the county now. Although the lord of the prefecture is light on wealth and heavy on officials, he often gives me wealth and goods, but only the monthly rent, the food and clothing of the servants and servants, and the maintenance of carriages and horses are needed. I have a lot of money, I like to make friends, and I have a lot of wine every month. This does not include my clothing and food, and I also don’t include my wife and kabuki. I have come to Wei County for a few months. , it’s not enough to make ends meet.”

"I have a little savings. If you don't mind it, I can borrow it from you... Is one hundred thousand dollars enough?"

Cheng Jia's eyes lit up, but he quickly put away his greed, shook his head, and said, "No, no. I have been ashamed of receiving the gift of your beauty, how can I borrow your money again? "

Li Hu pretended to be unhappy and said, "You have the meaning of making money, so why should you say no?"

Cheng Jia hesitated to answer.

Li Hu Xin said: "This must be the reason why I received the gift from my beauty. I am afraid that if I get my money again, I will take the opportunity to ask for something. He and I just 'made a deal' today, so it is normal to have such concerns." Sincerely He said, "Your Majesty is a high-ranking scholar in Ji, and I should not smear your name with money. However, although a gentleman is a poor man and a high-ranking scholar is like a king, now living in Ye, it is like being poor in a deep alley, but it is the dereliction of duty by a senior official. Although I have a rift with the lord of the government, I don't want the lord of the government to fall into such a bad name, so I don't plan for myself, but for the lord of the government, and the monarch should accept the money."

Cheng Jia was moved, and said movedly: "To be able to have you as a friend, Jia Sansheng is lucky." It was "Jia Zhixing" just now, and now it has been upgraded to "Sansheng lucky", and he sighed again, He said, "Fu-Jun reprimands Jun, but Jun still thinks for Fu-Jun's sake. In the future, I will speak favorably for Jun-Jun in front of Fu-Jun."

The two "verbally agreed" and didn't realize that the night was coming.

Li Hu offered to leave, but Cheng Jia insisted on keeping him for dinner.

At the dinner, Cheng Jialie sang and danced in the hall, and ordered the doorman who had rejected Li Hu's entrance earlier to dance a sword to cheer him up, and then summoned his young wife and ordered Li Hu to toast. Li Hu sees Cheng Jia's young wife. She is plump and full. She is exactly the type that Cheng Jia likes from Chen Zhi. What is rare is that she is also outstanding in appearance and very beautiful. No wonder Cheng Jia brought her from Zhao County to Wei County~www.wuxiaspot .com~ But with such a glamorous little wife to sleep with, Cheng Jia still thinks about taking another little wife, it is indeed enough to be "widowed and sick".

Li Hu secretly slandered a few words, and became more confident in buying Cheng Jia.

Greed for money, lustful, humiliated by Xin Ai and Gao Prime many times, there is no one more suitable to buy than him.

After drinking until midnight, Li Hu said goodbye and left drunk.

Cheng Jia did his duty as a "friend" and diligently reminded him that the curfew has passed, it is best to stay overnight and leave tomorrow. However, Li Hu refused to listen. He was the prefect of the county and had the Zhao family as the backstage. How could the county temple in Ye County dare to punish him for violating the curfew.

Cheng Jia no longer persuaded him, and sent him out of the inner door, returned to the bedroom of the back house, and took advantage of the wine to pick up a jade bottle on the table, raised his head, and wanted to throw it away. The value of the bottle was hurriedly and carefully returned to its original place, took two steps back, away from the jade bottle, so as not to touch it, instead picked up the inkstone from the table next to it and smashed it to the ground.

His little wife was taking off her makeup and was startled, and asked quickly, "Why did she get angry?"

"Zhao Ran and Li Hu are humiliating me!"

"The concubine saw that Li Cheng respected you very much at the banquet, and that you had a good conversation with him, so why did you get humiliated?"

"My body is short and ugly, so I have to stand between Zhao and Wei, and be valued by others. If I don't have it, I keep my promises! If I make a promise to a common man, I will die without regrets, and the prince is my lord? Zhao? The family bought me with power and humiliated me too much!"

His young wife had never seen him so angry, so she hurriedly asked him to calm down, and said with a little worry: "The Zhao family is a powerful clan in the prefecture and county, and the concubine also heard about its power in the Shenzhai. From, I am afraid that I will provoke his anger, have you thought about what to do?"

"I only heard about the death of the monarch, but I have never heard of the martyrs backing their masters!"
