Jiangbei County.

Prefect's Mansion.

study.

The prefect Situ Liang looked at Cao Gongcao in front of him and smiled and said, "Cao Gongcao, judging from your appearance, is there something good to tell me?"

Cao Gongcao smiled complimentally and said, "Sir, it's true that things are as expected. The old official has indeed come here this time and there is a good news to report to the Lord."

Upon hearing this, the prefect Situ Liang immediately became interested: "Oh? I wonder what good news is?"

Cao Gongcao said: "Sir, there is news from Yongyang County Government that the traitor Chen Taiping has been caught and is now locked in the cell of Yongyang County Government Government!"

“Is it true?”

Suddenly, the prefect Situ Liang stood up from the desk, supported his hands on the desk, staring at Cao Gongcao with bright eyes, and his breathing was obviously much heavier than before.

Cao Gongcao said: "Sir, this news was personally sent by the Yongyang County Government. I think... there is no possibility of falsehood."

Situ Liang said excitedly: "Okay! Very good!"

He naturally knew that since the news came from Yongyang County, it must be true, and there would be no false possibility. However, when he heard the news, it was really unbelievable and excited, and he couldn't help but blurt out. After all, the order he issued was not many days.

After Cao Gongcao retired, Situ Liang's excitement still did not diminish much.

Now, his position as the prefect should be moved, right?

This magistrate of Yongyang County is really his lucky star!

Immediately, Situ Liang wrote a letter to report to the capital, explaining this matter, and then sent someone to Yongyang County to take the rebel Chen Taiping to Jiangbei County and County City, waiting for the court's defeat, whether to take it to the capital or to kill it on the spot.

......

Yongyang County.

The blue tile sky has no clouds. The hot sun burns the earth, and wisps of steam rise from the earth, and the whole world seems to be in a large steamer.

"Have you heard it? A shop called Li's cold drinks appeared on the other side of Xianglin Street?"

"Li's cold drink? What is this?"

"Specially selling mung bean soup, sour plum juice and other stores."

"Tsk...I thought it was, wasn't it just an ordinary thing? What's there to be surprised about?"

"Of course there is nothing to be surprised about, but what if it is ice?"

"Ice? Are you talking about the cold drink of Li's family selling iced mung bean soup and ice sour plum juice? How is this possible, it's in the summer!"

"I didn't believe it at first, until I saw it with my own eyes and tasted a bowl of ice mung bean soup. It was cool and I felt extremely happy when I savored it. I couldn't help but want to drink another bowl."

"How much does a bowl cost? I think it's very expensive."

"It's not expensive, it's only three cents...hey, why are you so anxious to leave suddenly?"

"Of course I'm going to the Li family's cold drink! I'm afraid that if I'm too late, there will be no ice mung bean soup!"

"No, no hurry, there are so many."

County government office.

"Cool!"

As a mouthful of ice-cold mung bean soup entered the stomach along the throat, the heat in the body seemed to dissipate a lot in a row, and my body felt relieved. Li Yu, who was lying on the recliner, couldn't help but shout out.

"One thousand three hundred and fifty-one papers."

"One thousand three hundred and fifty-two texts."

“…”

"One thousand four hundred and fifty-five words."

He turned his head and looked at the girl who was happily counting a large push of copper plates. He couldn't help but say helplessly: "I said Miss Li, there are so many copper plates, when will it take to count according to your numbering method?"

The girl stopped counting copper plates, and her big, agile eyes glared at Li Yu: "Then what method did you say?"

After taking another sip of Bingbing mung bean soup, Li Yu said, "Stupid! Isn't it enough to use the weighing?"

Yes! Just use the scale, you can't make a count of one by one.

Li Hongxiu showed a sudden expression of enlightenment, and then he also reacted and glared at Li Yu angrily: "You are stupid!"

After saying that, he turned his head back and continued to count the copper plates. In the future, the copper plates will be weighed. There have been so many copper plates, so let's continue counting.

Well... there are no facts to do now.

But... I just picked up a copper plate, but I stopped.

In response to this, Li Yu couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong? Have you forgotten to count it?"

Li Hongxiu's expression froze, and then said in shame: "It's not because you interrupted me!"

Li Yu showed a teasing look: "Please, please, I will tell you if you want me."

Li Hongxiu snorted: "Hmph, please? It's impossible. Who knows whether you remember it? If you don't remember it, wouldn't I have a big loss if I ask you?"

"Of course I remember that you just counted one thousand..."

Looking at Li Hongxiu, who seemed to be indifferent but had actually raised his ears, Li Yu's words suddenly stopped abruptly and showed a smile that seemed to be smiling.

If you want to use such a simple method to get this official, it is impossible.

"Hmph! If you don't tell, don't tell me. This girl seems to be very rare. At worst, I can count again."

Li Hongxiu muttered his little mouth and wanted to start counting the copper plate again.

Seeing her angry look, Li Yu couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, you just counted to 1,455 s.

So, Li Hongxiu continued to count the copper plates happily without any hesitation.

Isn’t it too fast to get angry and happy?

Li Yu: “…”

He felt that he was still tricked.

Boring!

Li Yu picked up the collection of novels next to him. After reading two pages, there were rapid footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Deng walked in.

Seeing this, Li Yu could only put down the collection of novels in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Deng bowed and said, "Sir, an angel has come from the county government office. He is now in the court and says he wants to see you, sir."

Angel?

Is there still an angel in this world?

Li Yu's heart couldn't help but burst out, and quickly straightened up and asked tentatively: "Ange? Is it the kind of birdman with wings?"

Cheng Deng was not sure about the truth, and saw that his master seemed to know what the 'angel' meant, so he explained carefully: "Sir, this angel refers to the emperor's envoy, that is, the eunuch around the emperor."

"Oh, it's a eunuch!"

Li Yu then showed a sudden enlightenment, and then said to Cheng Deng with disgust: "The eunuch is just talking about eunuchs, why are you talking about angels? This makes me unable to react for a while."

Cheng Deng was sweating a lot. Fortunately, the angel was not here, otherwise he would not be furious when he heard his "eunuch" gulp after mouthful of his adults.

Li Yu asked, "Can you know what's going on?"

Cheng Deng shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't know."

Li Yu was very confused about this. Although Yongyang County was a bit reluctant to say that the emperor was the sky high, it was almost the same. It was not 108,000 miles away from the capital, and it was 97,000 miles away. He himself had no intersection with the capital, so why did the so-called emperor envoy suddenly come here?

Could it be because of the letter he wrote last time about the turnover of the land dragon in Leling County and the matter of Chen Taiping?

Well... I think about it all, and I think this is the only possibility.

Looking back now, these two things are also considered credit. He has not received any reward from the court, and the court has not expressed any of this yet.

Although there is news that the rebel Chen Taiping was rescued by others on the way to the capital, the responsibility lies with the prefect of Jiangbei County, not with him...

After a little sure thing was found in his heart, Li Yu went to Cheng Deng and said, "Let's go and see that angel."

Li Hongxiu also gave up the cause of counting copper coins and followed with curiosity.
