There is a saying that the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft. Will Ma Yue go to the banquet?

Of course not.

Ma Yue politely rejected the Yang Party's kindness on the grounds that he was tired of traveling, and did not tear his face with him at the moment, although he knew in his heart that there must be something unclean under the butt of this Yang Party and the county magistrates.

dismissed everyone, but Ma Yue found that Gong Cao of Jingzhao Mansion did not leave, Gong Cao did not belong to the subordinate officials of Jingzhao Mansion, to be precise, he was an official of Jingzhao Mansion, and his official position was not low, so it should be easy to promote, but all the positions of Jing Zhaoyin's officials were vacant except for the county governors, but he left this Gong Cao alone, but when he met Ma Yue, I really don't know whether to say that it was his luck or his misfortune.

Ma Yue beckoned to Gong Cao and asked, "It's Jing Zhao Yin's Gong Cao, why are Jing Zhao Yin's officials gone, and you are still here?" ”

The young Gongcao looked a few years older than Ma Yue, his seven-foot height looked well-proportioned, his eyes were calm, and he arched his hand to Ma Yue and said: "Xiaguan Du Qizi Bohou, Ren Gongcao leads the Zheng County Order, and there is a political matter to report to you, so stay." ”

Come on, the county order that didn't come was found, Ma Yue looked at this young man who was about the same age as himself and thought, this young man looks unusual, he doesn't have a word, he is the only one who comes up and says something about political affairs to him, Jing Zhaoyin, this is what officials should do!

"Well, Du Ji Du Bohou, Gong Cao Ling Zheng County, I wrote it down." Ma Yue nodded and said, "You said that there is a political report, and you said it." ”

With Ma Yue's permission, Du Ji took out a book from his wide sleeved robe and presented it to Ma Yue and said: "The prince of the government, please take a look, his subordinates first led Zheng County for a few days, and after he took office, he found that the previous county commander had poor political performance, and there were more than 400 people in prison to fill the prison, and the former county commander did not try or let go, so he locked people in prison and suffered. ”

Is this something for me to do? Ma Yue rolled his eyes and asked rhetorically, "You are Zheng County Commander, what are you going to do?" ”

Du Yi bowed down and said: "Back to Fujun, Du Ji plans to personally go to the prison to interrogate their mistakes, punish those who should be punished, and let them go, do you think this is okay?" ”

"Now that you've got a plan, let it go." Ma Yue felt in his heart that this Zheng County Ling Du Ji was not a good bird, and felt that it was a bit like a show, you know what to do and ask me why I am doing.

"No, no, no, the lower officials are looking for you to borrow someone." Du Ji suddenly said with some embarrassment: "The lower officials are not only meritorious Cao, but also receive county orders, and there is only one prisoner in this county, I am afraid that my colleagues will not be able to rest assured, so ...... I want to ask the prince to send an attendant to do the duty of overseer. ”

Ma Yue patted his head, this is the case. Du Ji is a Gong Cao, and Gong Cao is in charge of whether the other officials are clear in governance, basically the responsibilities are a bit like the history of the assassin, but the power is not as great as the history of the assassination, and it is limited to the land of one state, so it is common sense to want to come to him and ask for someone.

But the problem is that Ma Yue himself is still worried that there is no one to use in his hands, there are a total of three people under his hands, Peng Shi, Liu Erlang, and Sun Wei, and this Du Yi is looking for someone for himself, so isn't there only two people left under his hands to use?

"In that case, your request is also reasonable, Erlang, you can go to Zheng County with Du Bohou to try the prisoners together." After Liu Erlang, who was lame behind him, received the order, Ma Yue said to Du Ji again: "Bohou, remember not to wronged a good people, and don't spare a vicious person!" ”

Du Ji took the order and slowly retreated from the gate of the mansion with Liu Erlang, leaving Ma Yue to ponder in the court, and behind him were his only two remaining subordinates, Peng Shi and Sun Wei.

In Ma Yue's thoughts, it doesn't matter if there are few people, but the problem is that the remaining two people are targeted, so that the two of them are good at killing people, one used to be a water bandit in the river, and the other is an outlaw ranger, but now Ma Yue doesn't need to kill, he needs shrewd and meticulous work to find out the news, and he needs wise lobbyists to recruit some talented people.

These two are obviously not a middle and high master.

"Ah Wei, you used to be a ranger, do you know what capable people are in this land of three auxiliaries?"

Sun Wei doesn't like to talk, when Ma Yue needs him, he usually just does things in a muffled voice and doesn't speak, Ma Yue feels that such a person is either a fool or a man who has experienced some accidents and can tell a story, but he doesn't know when he will open his heart.

I only heard him reply: "Huifujun, I have some friends in Xia Yu Sanfu, what kind of people does the lord need?" ”

"Bold and careful, knowledgeable of political affairs, knowledgeable of the law, rich and learned, do you have anyone to recommend to me?"

Sun Wei was stunned for a moment and shook his head silently. The governor of political affairs, who understands the law, and who is rich in learning, shouldn't he be someone Ma Yue knows in his heart? Why did you ask about him instead?

"Well, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Ma Yue was also dizzy, and asked Sun Wei with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, he is a ranger, what intelligent things can he know? Shaking his head, Ma Yue then asked: "Ah Wei must have met some brave and strong warriors, if there are people with pure hearts and virtues, they can also be recruited, and now Jing Zhaoyin's subordinate thief Cao and thief are also vacant." Ah Wei has been running around Sanfu in the past few days, but is it difficult? ”

"No, I'll leave right now."

"Okay, let's go." Ma Yue waved his hand, let Peng Shijiao and Sun Wei entangle a little, looking at Sun Wei's back as he turned away, Ma Yue got up and paced in the court, looking at the empty hall around, he sat weakly against the pillar and sat on the ground, and let out a long sigh.

"Alas......"

Books represent intelligence, and at the moment, how much he wishes Cheng Li was by his side.

Damn, with a few fighting men around him, in Jing Zhaoyin, a person who can't figure out who is and doesn't know who is where, there is no evidence, what kind of impeachment does he take to impeach those dignitaries who are dead and vegetarian?

That's a fake boy of Zhongchang, it's not so easy to stumble, he needs someone to help him find out the news, and he also needs someone to give him ideas. At the moment, Peng Shi is available alone, and he can't do such a huge workload. He wants to investigate, but the governors of all the counties in the entire Jingzhaoyin, not to mention that without subordinate officials, he, Jingzhaoyin, can't do it on his own.

"Fujun, what bothers you so much?"

"It's not just the manpower, you are the only one left under your hand now, the huge Jing Zhaoyin is in the air, what can I do?"

Peng Shi nodded, he understood that a competitive person like Ma Yue would not admit defeat easily, Ma Yue had always had to do something in any official position, but in Jing Zhaoyin, he was overpowered by the local heroes, Ma Yue must be unacceptable. Peng Shi opened his mouth and asked, "As Jing Zhaoyin, the prince of the palace can appoint subordinate officials, right?" ”

Ma Yue nodded and said, "But this is useless at the moment, I don't know who can be trusted here and who can't be trusted, even that Du Yi just now doesn't know what is in his stomach." He shook his head and said, "I can't trust the people here." ”

"Yes, Fu Jun's worries are good." Peng Shi nodded and said: "Fujun, don't be discouraged first, Sun Wei has already gone to recruit rangers in the countryside, I believe that he will be able to return with a group of rangers soon, I don't know much about Sun Wei, but he is calm, since he is ordered to go out, he should have something to gain before he comes back." ”

"I hope so." Ma Yue nodded, but still did not regain his high spirits, what is the use of a group of rangers, he is not to organize the rebels to fight with people, the rangers use it to spy on the news and need them to leak the news but it is not good for themselves, they can only use it as errands.

Peng Shi then asked lightly: "Since Fu Jun is worried that there are no intelligent people at hand, why don't you write a letter to Luoyang's friend and borrow some people to use it?" Jian Huangmen's Xiyuan rider Pei Ruo is very clever, and he is also related to Fujun, why not let Jian Huangmen let him be a helper? ”

"What's the use of Pei Ruo's kid, just pass the word...... Wait, it's a good idea, yes! Ma Yue stood up suddenly, patted Peng Shi on the shoulder and smiled, damn it, he has had nothing to do with the Pei family after Ying'er died in recent years, but after all, he has such an identity, and it should be no problem to ask the Pei family to send a few juniors to help.

Just thinking about it, Ma Yue didn't call Peng Shi, he went directly to the bedroom that had not yet been cleaned up and rummaged through the salute when he came, found out the pen and ink from it, wrote a letter on a few cases, and handed it to Peng Shi after a moment of writing: "Ah Shi, help me go to Hedong Wenxi, and send this letter to the person in charge of the Pei clan, just say that I asked the junior of the Pei clan to be a subordinate official of Jingzhao Yin, to see if they are willing to help." ”

From Chang'an to Hedong is only a county apart, if you are quick to get there that night, but if you bring Pei's children back, it may be a little slower, but it will be at most three or five days, Ma Yue is not afraid that they will come late, but I am afraid that Pei's family will not recognize this family business, regardless of his uncle.

Compared with Pei Ying'er's death because Pei Mao didn't recognize this son-in-law, he was also guilty of failing to protect Pei Ying'er, and he didn't dare to come to the house to see the ceremony.

Although Ma Yue is now an official and a servant, Jing Zhaoyin still doesn't have much hope. The Gate Lords have their own pride, and I'm afraid that Ma Yue will let them take a look at it at most now, and I'm afraid it's not worth giving them a high look.

Seeing Peng Shi tidy up his bags and was about to lead the horse, Ma Yue stopped him unconfidently and said, "If Pei Shi doesn't want to help, don't force it, you will go to Luoyang again, find Jian Shuo, and ask him to send me a few people to help, Luoyang...... It's not far, I'll have to wait. ”

Peng Shi saw Ma Yue's concern, he nodded heavily, and said to Ma Yue: "Peng Zhong is going here, take care of the prince, I will definitely come back with a helper, please stay for a few days." ”

Looking at the back of Peng Shi leading the horse away and disappearing at the end of the street, Ma Yue sighed, gently closed the door of Jingzhao Mansion, walked around the pavilion to the room where the file was stored, and looked at the past events of Jingzhao Yin.

Waiting was always anxious, and he needed to calm his restless heart......
