Zhou Bo smiled calmly and said, "Please rest assured that Zhai Xianggong can bring down Xu Wenbo, Xiying is naturally confident that he can control it in the palm of his hand." What's more, even if you encounter any problems, with the backstage support of Zhai Xianggong, of course, you will be more confident. ”

Zhai Xuan smiled and said, "You are very good at talking." ”

Zhou Bo paused, and then said: "I have to ask Zhai Xianggong for help in the next place, this matter will be helpful to control the overall situation of Xiying after the next position." ”

"Say it. Zhai Xuan asked.

"Please also ask Zhai Xianggong to release Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu, after this catastrophe, these two people will definitely be grateful for the lowly position, which can be regarded as the first batch of lowly confidants in Xiying. Zhou Bo said.

"Hehe, you want to cultivate your henchmen so soon?" Zhai Xuan said with a meaningful smile.

"Everything I did was to repay Xianggong Zhai. Zhou Bo was not flustered at all, and said calmly.

"Zhou Bo, sometimes people will be fluttering when they are smooth, and a certain family will warn you again, the person who can support you can also destroy you. Although Zhai Xuan was still smiling, his eyes and tone were solemn.

Zhou Bo owed a debt and said, "The humble position naturally understands. As Zhai Xianggong said before, Zhai Xianggong likes to be a consistent person, and his humble position will definitely live up to Zhai Xianggong's trust. ”――

Three days later, news came out in Ezhou City that Xu Wenbo, the former head of Xiying, framed his subordinates and smuggled military rations, and was dismissed and investigated. Of course, this dismissal investigation can already be regarded as acquittal, and in this matter, it seems that Xu Wenbo's father Junzhou observed that Xu Yuanzhi made a lot of effort and effort. However, something unexpected happened at this time, Xu Wenbo left a copy of the document on the day of his resignation, in which he described his sins, and praised the newly arrived Shaodu Zhou Bo, and finally nominated Zhou Bo to take over the position of Xiying Dadu.

Zhou Bo after learning the news. I was amazed in my heart, Xu Wenbo was persecuted so badly by himself, and in the end he even promoted himself to be the governor of Xiying? This is really a strange thing of the Arabian Nights! However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, he gradually understood the reason. Obviously, Xu Wenbo did not really want to promote himself to take over as the head of the capital, or was instructed or coerced by some people to do so.

Of course, Xu Wenbo himself may have weighed that writing such a document can not only obey a person's feelings. And he can save a few points of his reputation. Once this matter spreads, people who don't know will definitely think that he Xu Wenbo is sincerely repentant and deeply reflects on his mistakes.

As for who threatened Xu Wenbo, it is not difficult to guess at all. Now the only person who supports Zhou Bo's ascension is Zhai Xuan, and Zhai Xuan is also the main whistleblower of Xu Wenbo's case, so nine times out of ten, Zhai Xuan threatens Xu Wenbo, if Xu Wenbo refuses to write this protection document, he will pursue it to the end and enforce the law impartially. In the end, Xu Wenbo will most likely be sentenced to death or exiled. Now that Zhai Xuan has this document, there is a reason to nominate Zhou Bo to take over as the capital of Xiying.

For Zhou Bo, a person who is still young and lacks experience in the management of grain and grass camps, it is very rare to have a reason to be promoted.

In the past few days, Zhou Bo is still very relieved in Xiying, and Zhai Xuan is responsible for serving as the capital of Xiying, and he only needs to take care of his own affairs. What's more, even if Zhai Xuan and Li Hui lost in their dispute over the position of the capital of Xiying. For him, the loss is not big, he was just trying to protect himself. As long as it is not replaced by another person like Xu Wenbo as the capital manager, everything is easy to say.

However, during this period of time, there were rumors in Xiying, and they were all talking about how Zhou Bo was likely to become the new capital, after all, there are not many people in Xiying who can nominate for this position. If you want to say that you have qualifications and prestige, there are only two deputy envoys on the left and right, but these two deputy envoys are both civilian officials. The practice of the Xiying has never been to use civilian officials to serve as the capital manager, after all, the grain and grass camp is a military general.

Because of this rumor, Zhou Bo's status in Xiying has changed, and at first, every day when he was on routine business, Ji Yong and other ministers would take the initiative to curry favor and salute. Later, some people even deliberately came to the wing room to worship. It's like dredged up the relationship for the new metropolitan management in the future.

For Zhou Bo, he doesn't have any sense of pride and arrogance now, on the contrary, he will be very humble and close to these people who can talk to him, almost no one refuses, and they all follow the other party's words to say some good things. The reason why he did this was not to lay a foundation for his promotion, but just for the purpose of winning people's hearts and leaving a way back for himself.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhou Bo was ordered to escort 830 stone grain and grass to the military camp in Xicheng. This military camp was a brigade under Li Hui, and it was tasked with defending the western city wall. After the grain and grass were delivered for acceptance, he led the grain team back to the West Grain and Grass Camp. When the team had just arrived at the gate of Xiying, suddenly a figure flashed in the alley across the street.

"Zhou Duguan, Zhou Duguan?" What flashed out of the alley turned out to be a young girl, and it was none other than the handmaid Xiaozhi that Zhou Bo met when he was just transferred to Xiying more than ten days ago.

Zhou Bo was a little strange, why was this little girl hiding here more than ten days ago, and this little girl is still hiding here today? He motioned for the grain team to go back to the camp first, and after hesitating for a while, he finally walked to the intersection of the alley across the street.

"Xiaozhi, your daughter's family doesn't stay in the boudoir all day to serve the master's family, what are you running around?" he walked up to Xiaozhi and said with a little reproach.

Xiaozhi didn't feel scared at all, but smiled and pinned her two little hands behind her back, as if she were a little adult. She shook her head and said, "Zhou Duguan, you have been in the limelight recently, and the whole Ezhou City knows your name." ”

Zhou Bo smiled and said, "But the rumors may not be true, you little girl don't believe it casually." But seeing that you are so young, ignorant and ignorant, it is easy to be deceived

Twig cocked her delicate little nose and snorted. said: "The slave is not what Zhou Duguan said, the slave is very smart." ”

Zhou Bo shook his head helplessly, this little girl was still too innocent, and he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Zhi stared at the big clever eyes and looked outside at the mouth of the small alley first, and after making sure that there was nothing else, he took Zhou Bo's hand and ran deeper into the alley. Zhou Bo was held by a little girl like this. He really felt a little strange, and he hurriedly said: "Xiaozhi, what are you doing, don't you know that men and women don't kiss?"

"Zhou Bo, the slave is only twelve years old, these principles will only work when the slave and maid grow up. Twig said with a grin, not caring at all about those moral norms.

"Then you'll have to tell me where you're going to take me? Leaving the camp without permission will be punished!" Zhou Bo said with a little seriousness.

"I'll take you to meet someone!" Xiaozhi said nonchalantly, she still took Zhou Bo's hand and led Zhou Bo to the depths of the alley.

Zhou Bo had already guessed who Xiaozhi was going to take him to meet, Xiaozhi was Qin Han's personal maid, and Qin Han, the little lady, didn't know what she was thinking, she always wanted to see her. Some time ago, Xiaozhi made an appointment for Qin Han when he first took office, but he really didn't have any idea of seeing Qin Han at that time, and he deliberately said something serious. The purpose was to make Qin Han pay attention to her relationship with herself, but I don't know why Qin Han came out directly today.

Xiaozhi took Zhou Bo through the alley for a while. At a corner, I saw where a man in white was standing. Although the man in white had his back to Zhou Bo, it was not difficult to identify from the other party's figure and back that this person was Qin Han who was dressed as a man.

"Lady, Zhou Guanren is here. Xiaozhi jumped up and down to Qin Han's side, holding Qin Han's arm with a smile.

"I've seen the lady below. Zhou Bo looked at Qin Han who was dressed in white. I have some emotion in my heart, such a beautiful woman is bound by this era even if she is willing, and she can only sigh.

"Zhou Bo is here," Qin Han didn't turn around to look at Zhou Bo, but only turned sideways slightly. looked a little shy, and replied to Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo sighed secretly and asked, "The lady came to look for her this time, I don't know what happened?"

Qin Han lowered her head, vaguely revealing a sense of sadness, she said weakly: "The slave family met Zhou Bo at the Yellow Crane Tower thirteen days ago, but unexpectedly, Zhou Bo was a clean person, and he rejected the slave family's covenant with vigorous words, making the slave family very ashamed. ”

Xiaozhi was very cooperative with his master's emotions at this time, pouting and snorting at Zhou Bo, as if he was blaming Zhou Bo for being too self-conscious last time.

Zhou Bo owed a debt and said apologetically: "The last appointment was just because it was inconvenient to be transferred in the next place, and I invited the lady Haihan if I offended." ”

"No, Zhou Bo, the slave family didn't blame you, it's just that the slave family was worried that Zhou Bo had a misunderstanding, so they came to Zhou Bo today, hoping to explain some things clearly. Qin Han said softly, a hint of blush suddenly flashed on her fair face, and she immediately turned her back in embarrassment, not wanting Zhou Bo to see her face.

"I don't quite understand what the lady means, so I asked the lady to show it. Zhou Bo asked puzzled.

Qin Han obviously hesitated, sighed, and said: "The last time the slave family met Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo refused to meet because the slave family had promised to marry the Xu family, and the slave family just wanted to tell Zhou Bo that you misunderstood. ”

She subconsciously accentuated her tone when she said, "It doesn't mean anything else."

Zhou Bo was stunned for a moment, could it really be that he was self-inflicted, thinking that Qin Han had a crush on him? He felt that he had fallen into an extremely embarrassing situation, and at the same time he felt a little sad in his heart, he finally thought that there was a beautiful woman who liked him, but in the end it was a failure. Alas, people really like to be self-defeating!

"It turns out that this is the case, no matter what, it is not to make a compensatory to the lady below, and it is to be self-defeating. He sighed and said to Qin Han again and again.

Qin Han also sighed resentfully, looking a little lonely and sad. She didn't know what to say for a moment, and fell silent.

At this time, the little maid Xiaozhi suddenly couldn't help but interject and said: "Official, my lady admires your talent, but you are so disappointing that you are acting coy and pretending to be high." ”

Zhou Bo felt that he was too pretentious when Xiaozhi said this, but he didn't blush at all. No matter what Qin Han's attitude was towards him, he still didn't have any interest in Qin Han. Of course, as a man, it is reasonable for him to think that Qin Han, a beautiful woman, is very eye-catching. It's just that he and Qin Han, the ladies of the family, are definitely hopeless. Let's not mention Qin Han's father's high vision, just his current status as a small eight-rank military attaché, coupled with the deceitful environment in Ezhou City, self-protection is still a problem, not to mention the love of children.

He smiled slightly and said, "I admit that I am too rude, and I ask the lady to forgive me." ”

Qin Han heard the perfunctory tone in Zhou Bo's tone, and his heart was suddenly disappointed. She slowly turned around, glanced at Zhou Bo, and asked, "Dare to ask Zhou Bo, do you have any new works recently?"

"Don't blame the lady, in the next martial arts, the daily military affairs are busy, and the Qi army is pressed by the enemy, so there is no room for negligence in the second half, so there is no leisure to talk about lyrics. Zhou Bo said without saying anything. He saw Qin Han's front at this time, and found that Qin Han, who was dressed in white, looked very pure and lovely, plus the other party was still dressed in men's clothes, he couldn't help but look a little handsome, and there was a different kind of beauty.

"Official, you just brought down your boss a few days after you were transferred to Xiying, you are not busy with military affairs at all, but always thinking about intrigue, promotion and fortune. Twig interjected again, inappropriately.

Qin Han had also heard about what had happened in Xiying recently, and now listening to Xiaozhi's words made her heart feel in vain, and she found that her understanding of Zhou Bo was too far behind.

Zhou Bo saw the change in Qin Han's face, and secretly scolded the long-tongued twig in his heart: You little girl can't say a good word? I really don't know what this little kid wanted to do when he was happy to bring himself to see Qin Han at the beginning!

That's it, Qin Han is a simple girl, so don't let her have anything to worry about, and when she has a successful career, she may be able to meet a better marriage.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanqing suddenly smiled and said: "Xiaozhi, you are right, as a seven-foot man, how can you chant poetry all day long, wind and snow, since you can be promoted two levels in a row, you naturally have to work harder, one to serve the court, and the other to achieve fame." Qin Xiaoniang, as the lady of the festival envoy, is an honor to be able to appreciate the clumsy work below. It's just that he was born a martial artist, and he didn't dare to be too vassal, let alone blaspheme the reputation of the lady. ”

Qin Han originally thought that Xiaozhi was just talking casually, and he still maintained a good impression of Zhou Bo in his heart, but now that he heard Zhou Bo admit it himself, he suddenly took a breath, her beautiful willow eyebrows frowned, and a wave of sadness flowed out of the moon-like autumn waves. She tried to speak several times, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to stop talking. (To be continued.) )
