Chapter 20: Pretending to continue pretending to be a grandson

Zhou Yuntai's words stopped Gu Qian.

How do you answer? Directly suggest that Zhou Yuntai lead his troops to fight Beixiang? Based on his observations, although the kind-looking Xiao Governor's Mansion has a lot of protection for him on the face, who can know what he thinks in his heart? With his status as a strict Kemen, he has no position to be good to himself.

Therefore, even if he wanted to die and let Zhou Yuntai lead the troops to fight Beixiang, he couldn't expose his thoughts at this moment. Gu Qian looked like he was scratching his ears and cheeks, but his heart was running rapidly, how could he quietly lead the target to Beixiang?

"Gu Zhixian," Zhou Yuntai frowned when he saw his embarrassed look, and urged: "The old man asked you!"

"This ......" Gu Qian scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Xiaguan has just arrived in Qingjiang, and he has been busy repairing the county government office in the past two days, and he hasn't taken care to investigate the cases in Nanxiang and Beixiang. ”

"What?" Zhou Yuntai slapped the table and said angrily: "The political envoy was ordered to be in danger, so that you were promoted from the county to the county magistrate halfway, after you arrived, you didn't want to thank the trust of your boss and tried your best to handle the case, but went to repair the county government of Laoshizi, Gu Qian, you are guilty!"

Lord Zhentai was angry, Gu Qian naturally didn't dare to argue, he gritted his teeth, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Gu Qian confesses, please calm your anger." ”

"Even if Gu Zhixian is wrong, it can't be wrong. Xiao Yuqing, a good old man, said to Zhou Yuntai with a touch of melancholy: "If Gu Qian's position is dismissed, I am afraid that Qingjiang will have no owner, and the situation that has just stabilized will be chaotic again, so please think twice!"

"Yes, my lord, the troops are about to be dispatched, and I am most afraid of instability in the rear. General Li looked at the scene in this house, and then looked at Gu Qian's small eyes looking at him, he had to touch his nose, and persuaded loudly: "Now that the situation is unclear, Gu Zhixian still needs to prepare military supplies in Qingjiang.

What crime has Lao Tzu committed? Gu Qian lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. However, it is useless for him to be ruthless at the bottom, the key depends on Old Man Zhou's attitude.

"Lord Zhentai......" Gu Qian raised his head and looked at Zhou Ji with pitiful eyes.

"Lord Zhantai. Xiao Yuqing helped to intercede, and her attitude was not compassionate.

"Lord Zhentai!" General Li shouted in a rough voice, completely embodying the informality of a martial artist.

Zhou Yuntai looked at this and then at that, and finally flicked his sleeves with a straight face, and reprimanded: "Kneel when you say kneel, and you lose all the dignity of a scholar! ”

"Lord Xie Zhentai. Gu Qian was grateful, and quickly got up from the ground.

Zhou Yuntai snorted: "If it weren't for the intercession between Governor Xiao and General Li, I would have cured you of the crime of slackness, but the capital crime can be avoided and the crime of living cannot be escaped, if you don't do the logistics work of the army well, ......"

"Please rest assured, Lord Zhentai, the lower officials will do their best to let General Li's troops come in and leave satisfied. Gu Qian's face was full of smiles, and his mouth was full of market gas, and he didn't have the demeanor of Tanhualang at all. Zhou Yuntai pursed his lips in disgust and said: "This is a peaceful chaos, not a sightseeing, you stand aside!"

"Yes. Gu Qian lowered his eyes and stood aside with his hands crossed.

Seeing that he was honest, Zhou Yuntai said to Xiao Yuqing again: "Gu Zhixian didn't know the facts of the case when he first came, how can this be good?"

Xiao Yuqing pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Zhixian, who caused the chaos at the beginning, is currently waiting for the crime in the provincial capital, and I am afraid that the only person who is familiar with the case and the situation in Beixiang and Nanxiang is Zuo Er in the county office.

Zhou Yuntai nodded and said, "Okay, just do it according to Wangzhou's wishes." ”

Soon, Ma Youliang, the chief secretary of Qingjiang County, and Liu Tianxiu, the chief historian of Qingjiang County, came to the next place of the envoy.

When Master Ma heard that he was summoned by the Inspector, his legs were weak in fright, and he trembled and said to Liu Dianshi: "Brother Liu, I don't know what happened to Lord Zhentai calling me and the two?"

Liu Dianshi's round face showed a bright light, but he still hid his excitement in front of Master Ma, and when he saw that Master Ma's nervous words were not complete, he also sighed and said: "I don't know, I have my own conclusion when I see Lord Zhentai." ”

Seeing that his eyes were shining, and his speech was more gentle than usual, he said: "Brother, I am a few years older, and my brain can't keep up, so I will rely on you for a while." ”

"What did the elder brother say, I have worked with the Ya for more than ten years, don't you know who I am?" Liu Dianshi smiled slightly and said, "I will try my best to help you, brother and relax." ”

After talking a few words, Master Ma slowly calmed down from the initial panic, saw Liu Dianshi's modest and excited look, smiled coldly in his heart, and didn't say much, he entered the house with Liu Dianshi one after another, and bowed his head.

"Get up. Zhou Yuntai waved his hand and said, "I have recruited the two of you here at night, there is really something important to discuss, I don't know what the two of you think about the crusade against Nanxiang and Beixiang?"

Master Ma and Liu Dianshi glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that it was originally for the purpose of discussing this! Master Ma wanted to show his face in front of the envoy, but before he opened his mouth, he saw that Liu Dianshi had already stepped forward and was about to speak. Master Ma lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then retreated to the wall without a trace.

On the side of the wall, there was Gu Zhixian, who was also a wall grass, and the two of them looked at each other, but they had a little sympathy for each other.

"Lord Zhentai, I am a native of Qingjiang, and today I dare to explain to you the shape of Nanxiang and Beixiang. Liu Dianshi had the courage to say this, and seeing that the envoy did not show displeasure because he exceeded the rules, he turned his head to look at Xiao Zhifu again, Xiao Zhifu looked at him with a consistent smile and encouragement, Liu Dianshi had a score in his heart, and his tone became more and more excited.

"As the adults can see, the mob in Nanxiang and Beixiang burned the county yabang to beat Zhixian for their own selfishness, and tossed a prosperous Qingjiang City into a prosperous Qingjiang City. When Liu Dianshi said this, he was excited, with tears in his eyes, "The lowly rank and others were besieged by the mob, and they had long thought about the shame of the day, but it was a pity that the people were so weak that they couldn't compete with the mob in Nanxiang and Beixiang, and now, the lowly position finally looked forward to the army of Lord Zhentai, and the lowly position was really, it was really ......" As he spoke, tears flowed down.

"Okay, your mood can be understood, so let's talk about how to calm the chaos first. ”

"Yes. Liu Dianshi wiped his tears and continued: "I heard that Lord Zhentai brought thousands of officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion, although there are quite a few people, but according to the humble opinion, the troops to attack Nanxiang and Beixiang are still slightly insufficient. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yuntai raised his eyebrows, quite meaningful: "Then what should I do?"

"This ......" Liu Dianshi paused, his eyes rolled restlessly, looked at Zhou Zhentai, and then looked at Xiao Zhifu, and after seeing Xiao Zhifu's affirmative eyes, he snorted: "I feel that it is better to divide and attack it." ”

"Didn't you eat?" Zhou Yuntai said unhappily: "Say it loudly." ”

Frightened by Zhou Yuntai, Liu Dianshi immediately said loudly: "I think it's better to divide and attack him!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yuntai high-fived and praised: "I want to go with the old man, then you say, where to attack first?"

"Nanxiang!" Liu Dianshi said without thinking: "Yu Sanli, the third boss of Nanxiang, is violent and tyrannical in the township, and he fanned the fire behind the burning of the county government, not to mention that he also took the two clerks of the county government as hostages, and now I don't know whether it is life or death." Speaking of this, Liu Dianshi's voice was mixed with a hint of sadness, "With Yu Sanli's temper, I'm afraid those two are already fierce and unlucky......"

Just when everyone was angry and embarrassed, an inopportune voice sounded from the wall: "Liu Dianshi, are the people you are talking about Li Bin and Li Cheng?"

Liu Dianshi was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Gu Qian talking to him. The heart said Could it be that the eldest master thinks that he has stolen his limelight? But he himself is incompetent and can't blame himself for showing his face in front of Lord Zhentai, Liu Dianshi smiled secretly in his heart, but said respectfully on his face: "If you go back to the eldest master, it is these two people." ”

"They were taken hostage by Yu Sanli?" Gu Qian asked again.

"Exactly, I saw it with my own eyes that day. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. ”

"That's strange," Gu Qian was puzzled, "I saw them in the yamen at noon!"
