The wind was blowing tightly, and Zhang Jingyuan rode a white BMW all the way towards Tongzhou County.

In fact, Tongzhou is not very far from Panlong Town, Chuxian County, which is about forty or fifty miles away.

With a long cry of the horse, Zhang Jingyuan jumped off the horse, and strode to the door of the Tongzhou County Ya at this moment, hanging a plaque with "Tongzhou County" written on it, and there were two people standing guard at the gate of the county Ya, and when they saw that Zhang Jingyuan was back, they immediately came up to greet him: "Zhang Zhutou, you are back." ”

Zhang Jingyuan nodded, looking at this antique county office, he had stayed at home for several years, and he already had some feelings.

Zhang Jingyuan walked straight in, and at this moment, there was already a white-faced, delicate facial features, and a team leader wearing a red tasseled hat at the door, looked at Zhang Jingyuan, and asked anxiously: "Big brother, how is the matter going?" ”

Zhang Jingyuan looked up and saw that it was his sworn brother Li Huai, and said with a slight smile: "It's almost." ”

"Almost?" Li Huai couldn't figure out this sentence, whether it was a success or a failure, so he asked a little incomprehensibly: "Is there an end to this matter?" ”

Zhang Jingyuan was a little sleepy and replied: "Look at tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Jingyuan held the sword tightly in his hand and strode away.

Li Huai's face was full of puzzlement, what the hell is going on, has the big brother's big thing been done? Seeing that the eldest brother didn't want to say, he was embarrassed to ask again, it is estimated that the eldest brother is tired, and when the eldest brother is rested, it is not too late to ask tomorrow.

The autumn color slammed the whole river, holding up the entire Tongzhou Yamen, the Tongzhou Yamen presented an extraordinary color, the antique plaque set off the ancient wooden door of Ganqing, the four corners of the peacekeeping courtyard, and the green tiles of Dougou, which is indeed a treasure land that makes people popular.

The morning sun shone brightly, Zhang Jingyuan stretched his waist and got up, and then squatted on his bed.

The wind was raging, a person wearing a red robe, a tight yellow shirt, a waist card of the forbidden army, three Jiuxiao yellow flags behind him, and a blood-colored and sturdy BMW, running all the way, shouting while running: "Eight hundred miles urgent, urgent official documents."

The horse's hooves jumped, and when they arrived at the Tongzhou County Ya, the horse roared, and saw the person who reported the news jumped off the horse, took out the token, which said that the forbidden army was written, and walked directly into the Tongzhou County Ya.

At this moment, the county commander, who was hugging Jiao Niang in bed, heard the report from his subordinates that a person from the forbidden army had brought a secret letter, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled to the front yard.

At this time, all the catchers in the county government gathered in the front yard, and the county commander hurriedly walked out, looked at the messenger of the forbidden army, and said with a smile: "I don't know what this messenger is doing?" ”

The messenger did not delay, and said directly: "I am Duan Ziming, the forbidden army of the palace, and I am here to report good news, may I ask who is Zhang Jingyuan, the head of Tongzhou?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone glanced at Zhang Jingyuan, and at this moment, Li Huai also pinched a handful of sweat, and thought in his heart: Could it be that the eldest brother killed that person, and now the above will send someone to arrest him, no, it will not send a messenger to come first, it is unreasonable! ”

Everyone stared at Zhang Jingyuan.

Zhang Jingyuan heard the other party calling his name, he had already guessed what was going on, and immediately stood up, the other party glanced at Jiuyingli and said: "This is a secret order from the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the palace forbidden army, and Zhang Jingyuan received the order." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jingyuan instantly knelt down and said silently: "Take the order." ”

At this moment, everyone was surprised, very confused, and shushed each other.

The comer took out a secret letter and read: "Zhang Jingyuan, the head of Chatongzhou, was just right, he captured the thief Fang Layuan in March of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, and killed the traitor Yuan Kui of the imperial court in July. ”

Zhang Jingyuan glanced at it.

As soon as this sentence was said, Zhang Jingyuan immediately took over the secret order and the previous paperwork, at this moment Zhang Jingyuan smiled lightly and said: "This brother, you have worked all the way, if you don't dislike it, let's have a glass of wine together!" ”

The other party thanked him and said: "The system has been promoted, I still have official business now, and in the future in the capital, everyone has time, so let me ask the system to have a glass of wine at that time!" Now I don't have to worry about the system. ”

After speaking, Duan Ziming bowed to Zhang Jingyuan, then walked out of the county office, beat the horse and left.

At this moment, there was a boo in the county office, and the county order was even more impressed by Zhang Jingyuan, and began to stutter: "Lord Zhang, what a blessing, when you arrive in the capital in the future, you have to rely on the adults to promote the villain." ”

Zhang Jingyuan greeted these people who were slapping horses, in fact, this is also normal, the position of the commander is the fifth grade official of the imperial court, and the county order is only seven grades, don't you stammer?

But at this moment, there was a person who stared at Zhang Jingyuan, and there was a trace of anger on this person's face.

Zhang Jingyuan took the letter of appointment, and was not very happy, but slowly walked back to his room and began to pack up his things to prepare for the appointment, because he knew that this was a planned thing, but he didn't expect that the corrupt official Wang Li was really powerful, and he could really make himself rank in the fifth rank overnight, thinking that when Emperor Taizong was in power, Fang Xuanling was the prime minister, and Li Linfu was the minister, and there was Li Linfu as the minister, and the court was all upright and honest. Emperor Li Zhi actually brought a group of corrupt officials to the throne, the government looks peaceful, in fact, there is a fight in the nest, corruption and bribery abound, the whole court is in a miasma, this time it is even worse, the court disaster relief silver and silver actually have people who dare to embezzle, it is really too unusual, the people killed and injured do not know how much, thinking of Jiuying can not help but feel sad.

Not long after Zhang Jingyuan entered the door, there was already a person at the door staring at Zhang Jingyuan, looking at this person's expression, he really wanted to scrape Zhang Jingyuan.

This person was Li Huai, Li Huai pretended to be calm, raised his head and laughed a few times, and then slowly walked in to look at Zhang Jingyuan and said, "I finally understand." ”

Zhang Jingyuan also looked at Li Huai, and when he heard this, he knew that Li Huai was already angry, so he immediately lowered his head and sighed, then raised his head and said, "It seems that you have misunderstood me." ”

Li Huai shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Yesterday I asked you, if you have already succeeded, you are hesitant and don't speculate, but what you said about tomorrow, I can understand it." ”

"Understood?" When Zhang Jingyuan heard this, he said excitedly: "You understand, do you really understand or fake understand?" ”

Li Huai snorted and scolded: "Do you need to fake this, can't what you do when others can't see it?" You make me blind. ”

Zhang Jingyuan looked at the former good brother in front of him, but now he looked at himself with such eyes, he was really uncomfortable, as if an ant was biting, but he still responded slowly: "What you see is only a superficial phenomenon, not real." ”

Li Huai heard this, and for some reason, he laughed three times in a row, and suddenly said angrily: "On the surface, are you going to dig out your heart and show me, don't think I don't know, you have exchanged your grievances for wealth, I really don't understand what you think, your family of thirteen, thirteen lives were killed by others, when you first bowed to me, you were angry, and you had the momentum of killing thieves, but now that you are really now, as soon as wealth is placed in front of you, you sell yourself for glory and wealth, you are not worthy of being my brother, Although I am a small county government leader, I don't have a friend like you who betrays me, but I can't climb up to you now, you are all in charge, and you are a lackey of a corrupt official. ”

Zhang Jingyuan heard this, and every word of these words was like a needle piercing his heart, and the pain was unbearable.

Zhang Jingyuan looked at Li Huai silently, and said calmly: "You really misunderstood, can you listen to my explanation." ”

"Okay." Li Huai nodded again and again, pointed at Zhang Jingyuan with his finger, and immediately said, "Yes, but before I listen to your explanation, I want to ask one thing, okay?" ”

Zhang Jingyuan nodded and said, "Okay, you say." ”

Li Huai stared straight at Jiuyingli and asked word by word: "Did you kill that corrupt official?" ”

Zhang Jingyuan shook his head and replied, "No." ”

He really wanted Zhang Jingyuan to say that he killed that person, but at this moment, he could also forgive the former eldest brother, but he only heard the other party say nothing, and at this moment Du Er suddenly became wooden, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

This sentence seemed to hurt Li Huai's heart, and I saw Li Huai's tears dripping, like beads with broken threads, wetting the floor.

Li Huai ran out directly in anger, and Zhang Jingyuan didn't look back.
