Time flies, time flies, and a month of time passes slowly under the plain waves. Dongping County is in Yuan Chang's governance, or in the hearts of the people, because of Guo Jia's help, Yuan Chang has made Dongping County's governance prosperous. There are no more troublemakers, and the notoriety of Dian Wei, a butcher, has spread all over Dongping County, and no one expected that Dian Wei would be able to have such an effect when he killed those bullies who made trouble.

Sometimes when a child is disobedient, adults use Dian Wei to scare the child, and suddenly the child can no longer be well-behaved.

Now, Yuan often walks on the street, and the people greet him one after another, and from time to time they will send some fresh vegetables and livestock, and of course, Guo Jia will also have a share. The people naturally want to thank Guo Jia the most, but it can't be too obvious, otherwise if Yuan Chang drives Guo Jia away, they may not have a good life.

"My lord, my subordinates went to the village today and found that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, lived a prosperous life, and every urn had food in their urns, and they could eat meat every festival. Under the governance of adults, Dongping County has become more and more stable. ”

He Yao had sweat on his face, and he respectfully reported to Yuan Chang about today's inspection.

Yuan Chang nodded and said with satisfaction: "Yes, Dongping County can have today's scene, thanks to your efforts. For this reason, the county decided to go to Yuelai Restaurant tonight to hold a banquet to celebrate and thank everyone for their efforts in the past month. County Lieutenant He, you go and inform them and let them all prepare. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

After He Yao bowed his hand, he stood in place, as if he had something to say. After gritting his teeth, He Yao stubbornly said: "My lord, now that Dongping County has been stabilized, the use of his subordinates is no longer great. The adults used to say that day, I don't know..."

"Haha!"

Yuan Chang laughed, patted He Yao's shoulder kindly, and nodded: "Yes, this month, the county commander's efforts are all in the eyes of the county order. Of course, I remember what the prefectural order said at the beginning. As early as a few days ago, the county magistrate had already told Master Assassin Shi about you and Ma Hou. However, you also know that not long after Lord Thorn Shi took over Jizhou, there are a lot of things on his hands, this kind of thing is not very important after all, Lord Thorn Shi should pay attention, it may take a while. This county order has always been true to its word, and what has been said will naturally be fulfilled, and there is no need for County Lieutenant He to be in a hurry. ”

"Thank you for your cultivation and kindness, and your subordinates dare not forget!"

After He Yao praised Yuan Chang, he left. No wonder He Yao is in a hurry, these days, Yuan Chang's attitude towards Ma Hou is very good, and it seems that he has forgotten about him as a county lieutenant. Therefore, as a last resort, He Yaocai brought up this matter when Yuan Chang was happy. He worked so hard for what Yuan Chang said at the beginning.

"Bonghyo, how are things going?"

After He Yao left, Yuan Chang's smile disappeared, and he asked Guo Jia beside him in a deep voice.

Guo Jia's expression was solemn, and he said in a condensed voice: "Lord, although there is no conclusive evidence of the people we arranged around He Yao, there are all kinds of indications that the death of the former county lieutenant was related to He Yao. ”

"Very good, how are you prepared for that matter? Dongping County is already on the right track, and it can clear the last problem of He Yao. ”

"Lord, as soon as you are ready, now you just need to wait for He Yao to reveal his true colors, and you can get rid of him. ”

"Very well, let's get started tonight. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

When the sun set, the county magistrate set up a banquet at Yuelai Restaurant, which was regarded as an appreciation for the efforts of the county government in the past month.

After they were full of wine and food, they left, and He Yao walked towards home with a slightly drunk demeanor, one by one. After arriving home, He Yao had just taken a sip of tea when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

He Yao frowned, who would come to him at such a late hour?

"My lord, my subordinate is Luo San. ”

Luo San? He Yao settled down, and then he remembered who Luo San was. Previously, because of the matter of the main book Sang Qiu, some of the officials who were close to Sang Qiu were eliminated by Yuan Chang, and later recruited some new officials, and this Luo San was one of them. And Luo San seems to think that He Yao is very promising, and has always followed He Yao firmly. The newly joined officials, except for two or three who followed Ma Hou, the others all moved closer to He Yao.

"Little Sanzi, what's the matter with coming to me so late?"

He Yao was disturbed so late, but he didn't feel the slightest dissatisfaction, but instead poured a glass of water for Luo San with a concerned expression. Luo Sancheng took the cup in fear, feeling that He Yao poured water for him, making him feel that he was very trusted.

He Yao wants to climb up with all his heart, and he looks like he trusts the people under him, and he never gives them a look. This is also the reason why He Yao was able to get so many servants to follow, and he never shouted at his subordinates who followed him because of his higher official position.

"My lord, my subordinates were at Yuelai Restaurant before, and because of the urgency of urinating, I ran to the thatched house. As a result, I overheard a thing, and if I didn't tell the adult, my subordinates would feel that I had failed to live up to the adult's cultivation of me in the past. ”

Luo San's face was sincere, and he almost dug out his heart to show He Yao.

He Yao saw that Luo San seemed to be a little hesitant, and suddenly felt that this matter should be very important to him. At that moment, He Yao smiled on his face, patted Luo San's shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "Third son, you know how I treat you on weekdays. The people who follow me, I treat them as brothers, as long as I have a bite of meat, there will be no shortage of brothers. What you say today is known only to us two brothers, and there is no third person. If you think this matter is really serious and you can't say it, I won't blame you, and if you go out from this door now, I will treat it as if it never happened. ”

When Luo San heard He Yao's words, his eyes turned red instantly, patted his chest, and said excitedly: "Adults treat my little third son as a brother, and what he does to my little third son on weekdays, the little third son naturally knows." The little third son is not an ungrateful person, for the sake of the future of adults, I will let the little third son go. ”

"Well, I knew you were right. In the future, I will soar and prosper, and I will never forget your brother. ”

"The little third son has thanked the adults for their cultivation!"

Luo San nodded movingly, carefully swept around, then lowered his head and whispered in He Yao's ear: "When my subordinates went to the thatched house before, I overheard the county commander and his staff discussing the matter of recommending the lord and Ma Hou to Lord Thorn Shi. ”

He Yao's heart suddenly suddenly, and he secretly said that this matter was really related to him. At that moment, He Yao held his breath and was ready to listen to what Luo San had to say.

Luo San still had a cautious expression, and said in a low voice: "Lord County Commander told Lord Sù that Lord Thorn Shi didn't know about this matter yet, but in fact, Lord Thorn Shi already knew. It's just that Lord Thorn Shi thinks that the county magistrate has recommended two people, too much, so after the county magistrate assesses, he recommends one of you and Ma Hou. ”

He Yao felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, suppressed his mood, and pretended to be calm and asked, "Oh, what did the county magistrate say?"

"The county magistrate said, my lord, he saw the sweat you paid for Dongping County, and said that you are a capable person, and I recommend it to Lord Thorn Shi, if you do a good job, then the county magistrate's face will also shine. Therefore, the prefectural magistrate thinks that he wants to recommend you to the thorn lord. ”

Seeing Luo San stop, He Yao was anxious, but he couldn't urge, so he could only wait quietly for Luo San's next words.

However, Guo Jia, the chief of staff of the county commander, felt that Ma Hou was better. ”

He Yao subconsciously twitched his face when he heard this, and his fists were clenched, if Guo Jia was standing in front of him now, he would definitely cut Guo Jia with one sword. Guo Jia, who talked and laughed with him on weekdays, actually stabbed him in the back.

"Why does Guo Jia think that Ma Hou is more suitable than me?"

Resisting the impulse in his heart, He Yao gritted his teeth and asked.

Luo San seemed to have some concerns, but thinking of He Yao's kindness to him on weekdays, he no longer hesitated at the moment and said all Guo Jia's words.

"Guo Jia said, Ma Hou is loyal and honest, if the county magistrate recommends him to Lord Thorn Shi, then Ma Hou will remember the county magistrate's goodness. If there is any wind and grass in the future, Ma Hou will also notify the county magistrate. And my lord, although you have the ability and are shrewd, you are too shrewd. Once you follow Lord Thorn, you will get close to Lord Thorn and forget about Lord Prefectural Order. Your Excellency, you also know that the county magistrate listens to Guo Jia's words the most on weekdays, and the county magistrate was originally ready to recommend you, but after listening to Guo Jia's words, he was already a little moved, and was ready to recommend Ma Hou. And the subordinates listened to the meaning of the prefectural commander, and seemed to be ready to make a decision within these three days. ”

"Sanzi, I know about this, since this is the case, then I can only see how the county magistrate chooses. It's so late, you go back to rest first, if I have a chance to follow Lord Thorn Shi in the future, I won't forget you. ”

"The little third son thanked the adult, and the adult's kindness to the little third son, the little third son will also remember it in his heart. ”

After Luo San left, He Yao had a hideous look on his face, like a mad beast, and roared in a deep voice: "Ma Hou, if you want to rob me, it is absolutely impossible." Since you're in front of me, I'm going to kick you away, just like the old man who didn't know how to lift up, no one can snatch what belongs to me, hehaha..."
