At the reception banquet in the evening, Wang Jun was decent and did not challenge Gu Qian. This point disappointed the old people who were waiting to see the excitement of the former Qingjiang County Ya.

Speaking of which, Gu Qian has been in Qingjiang for a while, and everyone is still more convinced by this new county magistrate, but since ancient times, the "officials" and "officials" in the yamen have not been all the way.

Gu Qian has his master by his side, as well as the newly acquired Duan Wenrui, and what's even worse is that I heard that this Master Gu has a magical ability to settle accounts, how easy is it to fool him? So except for Zhang Yong, who has already thrown himself into Gu Qian's camp, the rest of the officials hope that the two magistrates will fight, and they can just profit from it.

I don't know if I saw through their thoughts, or Wang Xiancheng didn't want to embarrass Gu Qian at the reception banquet, this banquet was drunk smoothly, and the two magistrates had a warm and friendly conversation, and Gu Qian even had a relationship with Wang Xiancheng in the same year.

Gu Tanhua was lamenting that Wang Xiancheng's road to the imperial examination was not easy, Wang Xiancheng had a smile on his face, and he gave Gu Qian a villain in his heart, and the gap of twenty years was even snatched from the other party's official position, not to mention that Wang Xiancheng was worried about it.

"My lord, the banquet is over. After sending Wang Xiancheng away, Gu An immediately brought Gu Qian a sobering soup.

A sour smell penetrated into his nostrils, Gu Qian frowned, pinched his nose and poured it with the bowl. "Whew...... Give me water!" Another big bowl of water poured into it, Gu Qian only felt that the pores of his whole body were opened, and he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, feeling that the wine had gone down a lot.

"What about Zihe and Wen Rui, have they all gone back?" Gu Qian pinched his neck and asked Xu Sheng.

"Back to the master, Second Master Tai and Duan Dianshi are still waiting outside. ”

"Go out and talk to them, they have drunk a lot, go back and rest." ”

"Yes. ”

Gu An went out to say something, and when he came back, he saw Gu Qian sitting on the couch, staring straight at a place without moving, knowing that the old man was thinking about things, so he went out to boil hot water for him. The lord loves cleanliness, and after drinking wine today, he must take a bath.

Gu An had just finished boiling the water, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside, he looked out and saw that it was Gu Xiaojiu. "Ninth Master, do you have something to do with the master?"

"Did the master sleep?" Gu Xiaojiu stopped and asked.

"No, I don't. ”

"I'll go in and talk to my lord. Gu Xiaojiu knocked on the door, and after hearing a sound of coming in, he pushed the door and left, Gu Qian sat cross-legged on the couch, saw Gu Xiaojiu come in, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, is there something wrong?"

"It's not a big deal," Gu Xiaojiu paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "I just saw Wang Xiancheng call Master Ma to his house." ”

Gu Qian was stunned, and then nodded slightly: "I know." ”

Although he was a little curious about Wang Xiancheng calling people into his house in the middle of the night, Gu Qian, as the head of a county, did not have the leisure to control the actions of his subordinates. Because there is a more important matter on his desk, Qingjiang County has already begun the autumn harvest, and the yamen is also preparing to harvest the autumn grain.

Qingjiang County is located in a corner of Xinghua Prefecture, with more mountainous land and less flat land, and the amount of grain produced is not much, and the amount of grain collected is also the lowest in the prefecture. It's just that although the lower county has the lowest task, the grain in this county is not so easy to collect, because everyone who has been an official in Qingjiang knows that there is a hurdle that must be passed in Qingjiang County to collect grain.

"Brother Ma, my family has packed a big fish today, do you want to come to my house for a drink?"

"What's so embarrassing about this?" Master Ma rubbed his hands, and his old face showed a hint of expectation.

"What's so embarrassing, brother, I went back to Qingjiang again, the original acquaintances were scattered, and only you can say a few words to your brother. Wang Xiancheng sighed, full of depressed and depressed looks, and when he saw that Master Ma had a worried face, he immediately smiled and said: "Look at what I said, the fish has been stewed, let's go." ”

The county government of Qingjiang County is very large, and the families of Wang Xiancheng and Ma Zhushu all live in the small courtyard on the side of the ya, and the two of them entered Wang Xiancheng's house with a smile and a smile, and the gossip blew like the wind in every corner of the compound.

"Ouch, where did this smell come from, it smells so good. The old Wu Tou who burned the fire sniffed exaggeratedly.

Gu An, who was bending over to stir-fry, glanced at him and sneered: "You smell the vinegar fish, right? ”

"Steward Gu, what are you talking about, old Wu Tou, am I the kind of villain who forgets his righteousness?" Old Wu Tou added a handful of firewood to the stove, and said with a smile while touching a bad goose paw from the plate placed on the bellows.

Gu An was so worn by the old man's cheekiness that he couldn't afford it, he lowered his voice, and said helplessly: "You still dare to eat it secretly, this goose paw was bought by the fourth master out of his private house." ”

Old Wu stuffed a goose paw in his mouth, he didn't chew it, he didn't vomit, and after a while, he said to Gu An with a bitter face: "Steward Gu, can you act as if you didn't see anything?"

"Yes. Gu An copied the shovel and stir-fried in the pot, and occasionally said to the old Wu Tou, who was obviously relieved: "I heard that there is a hurdle in Qingjiang's grain collection, can you tell me what the hurdle is?"

As soon as Lao Wu heard this, he hurriedly swallowed the bad goose paw in his mouth: "You still lead me to the fourth master to ask for guilt!"

Old Wu's table made Gu An frown slightly, but over there, Master Ma and Wang Xiancheng pushed the cup on the fish plate and changed it.

"Brother Ma, brother, I have been locked up in the provincial capital for a few months, but my eyes are black on the shape of Qingjiang, and I will have to rely on my brother for more help in the future!" Wang Xiancheng personally grabbed a small plate of chopsticks and fish meat and put it into the main book of Ma, and his eyebrows were even more bitter.

"Second master, what do you say, don't say that you took care of me before you went to the provincial capital, just say that after you came back this time, you also pulled me to drink and talk from time to time, my old horse can't speak, but I have this friendship in my heart!"

"Alas, I also hated it for a thousand years, and I didn't listen to the instigation of the surnamed Liu before. ”

"Liu Dianshi is also well-intentioned, but the world is unpredictable, who would have expected that those chaotic people would come to the county seat to collide with the county government, speaking of which, I don't understand. Master Ma pointed to the direction of the small courtyard of the classics, and said in a low voice: "You said that this person should be called anti-people, why did he even talk to us about the seat?"

Wang Xiancheng followed his finger and looked at Duan Wenrui, unwilling, but he could only laugh and say: "I heard that this appointment is the intention of Lord Zhou, I'm afraid there is another deep meaning on it." ”

Master Ma didn't dare to say anything stupid, so he could only sigh and say, "It's a pity that Liu San in the torture room." Originally, after Liu Tianxiu fell, this was the best person to take over the torture room, and the most important thing is that he was the first to throw himself into Wang Xiancheng.

When Wang Xiancheng heard this name, his expression moved slightly.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Ma Zhushu stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and as soon as he stuffed it, he felt that a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and that feeling was just like the feeling when Wang Xiancheng called him to eat.
