Jin Yuanwu pondered for a moment and said, "If it's a horse catching the head, maybe there is a way." ”

"Okay, this matter is entrusted to you, these two talents are extremely important to the future development of our county, we must keep them, you try your best to find a way to cover it up, it really can't be covered, let's think of other countermeasures, you go back first to settle down with them, don't reveal their identities, just say that they are all craftsmen, I will visit your house tomorrow."

Hearing that the county order was going to the Changwei Dart Bureau, Jin Yuanwu was shocked and said, "Yes!" ”

He went to the main bookkeeper's office to get a certificate of withdrawal, and took ten taels of silver as a bonus, and then returned home quickly, which was Lu Yuan's rule, and anyone who accumulated three merits could receive ten taels of silver.

In the study, Lu Yuan leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, thinking about what had happened recently, only to feel that it had been really smooth sailing recently, and his heart was extremely happy.

At this time, there was still more than half an hour before the lower office, and he wanted to give himself a small vacation and return to the back house in advance, but since Zhang Dezhong and Ji Yan entered the county office, Lu Yuan found that he began to be restrained.

In the past, he could do whatever he wanted, and no one in the county government dared to care about him, but now as long as he violates any rules, these two people will find him to nag.

Zhang Dezhong is okay, he will only remind himself vaguely, but Ji Yan is different, he often directly says what Lu Yuan did wrong, so that he often can't get off the stage.

Lu Yuan has always respected the two of them, and it is difficult to talk about them, so he has some scruples about acting.

looked out the window for a while, and then practiced calligraphy on the table, and when he heard the drumming of the lower office, Lu Yuan seemed to feel the joy of getting off work before, and walked quickly to the back house.

He searched in the house for a long time, and then found Lu Yutong on a tree, she recently likes to play hide and seek with Lu Yuan, every time Lu Yuan is about to go to the office, he likes to hide in the back house, let him come to find him.

She is wearing a small white cotton jacket at the moment, after nearly half a year of good food and drink, the original sunken cheeks have long been bulging, and the skin is much whiter and tenderer, becoming more and more cute.

After seeing that Lu Yuan found herself, she jumped down from the tree, hung on Lu Yuan's neck and said, "Brother, my master hasn't come to me for a long time recently. ”

Lu Yuanqi said: "How long?" ”

"It's been more than two months, and you haven't come to me since the last time I went looking for you."

Lu Yuan exclaimed: "What is he looking for me for?" ”

"Of course I'm here to save you, weren't you captured by the White Lotus Holy Maiden last time? My master and Uncle Ma went separately to save you. When Lu Yuan heard about this for the first time, he thought about it and asked, "Who is your master?" ”

Lu Yutong bowed his head and was silent.

Lu Yuan snorted: "If you don't say who he is, I can't help you find him?" ”

"It's brother, you're too stupid, Uncle Ma guessed it at once." Lu Yutong said in a low voice.

Lu Yuan was furious, this little thing actually dared to say that he was stupid, and suddenly itched on her, Lu Yutong was actually not afraid of itching, and he wore a lot, Lu Yuan's move was not lethal to her, but in order to take care of her brother's emotions, she still pretended to scream a few times and begged for mercy.

Lu Yuan snorted twice and said proudly: "Knowing how powerful I am, I'll go ask Ma Zhutou tomorrow to see who your master is." ”

……

In the lobby of Changwei Dart Bureau, after Jin Yuanwu left, Jin Muxing and Jin Lanzhi greeted the four of them together, and Jin Lanzhi kept inquiring about the identities of the four and the experience of meeting his eldest brother.

After learning that Xia Yurong was the daughter of the county Cheng, he was subconsciously shocked, and then thought that his family was now also the home of the eunuch, and his brother was still the captain of the city defense, so there was nothing wrong with the door!

Lu Yun'er saw that Jin Lanzhi was talking around Xia Yurong, and after Jin Muxing heard that his grandson was just an ordinary villager, he also became cold, and his heart was quite uncomfortable, and he silently played with his crossbow.

After a long time, Jin Yuanwu finally came back, he walked into the lobby, and saw at a glance that Lu Yun'er's face was not very good, and his heart sank, and said: "Lanzhi, I asked you to entertain the guests well, how did you entertain them?" ”

Jin Lanzhi turned his head to look, only then did he realize that he had snubbed the other three, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me, a few friends." ”

She didn't actually mean anything, but she was in a hurry to find a sister-in-law for her brother.

Jin Muxing smiled and said, "Yuan Wu, has Lord Lu explained everything?" ”

"Explain it, Lord Lu will come to our house tomorrow."

Jin Mu stood up violently, surprised and delighted: "Why did he suddenly want to come?" ”

"Lord Lu said that Mr. Wang and Miss Lu are both rare talents, and Lord Lu is here to visit them tomorrow."

Jin Muxing was taken aback, turned his head to look at the grandfather and grandson, and then realized that he had lost his eyes, and his attitude towards the two became enthusiastic again.

After a banquet, Lu Yun'er was arranged in the guest room, and she was a little uneasy about the county order coming to visit her.

The next day, on the tenth day of the twelfth month, She County ushered in the first snow.

The 10th, 20th and 30th of each month is the day of rest, in addition to the officials on duty, the county's personnel are on holiday, Lu Yuan is wearing civilian clothes and a cloak, and he is ready to visit the Changwei Dart Bureau, and Hou Kaishan is accompanied by protection.

On the snowy sky, Lu Yuan looked at this white-covered ancient city and sighed: "It's so beautiful! ”

Hou Kaishan smiled: "Yes, the snow here is very thick, and there is a sense of tranquility, unlike our Yuezhou, where the snow is accompanied by strong winds, so what you generally see is flying snow." ”

Hearing Hou Kaishan talk about Yuezhou, Lu Yuan asked, "Brother Hou, are you settling down here in Eagle Claw Gate?" ”

Hou Kaishan smiled reluctantly: "It's good." ”

In fact, with him as the county lieutenant, no one in the county will easily provoke the Eagle Claw Gate, but the owner of the gate, Chen Zhenfeng, is not satisfied, and is eager to expand his power in the county, so he is naturally indispensable for entertainment.

In general, he can use the banner of Hou Kaishan, but some characters are not so easy to make friends, such as Bai Zi, the second son of Bai Jin, a Hangzhou giant businessman, who came to She County again a few days ago.

Although Lu Yuan didn't know about this, who didn't want to have a relationship with Bai Jin who had a head and a face in She County, Chen Zhenfeng naturally wanted to invite Bai Jin to dinner, but Bai Jin asked for Hou Kaishan to accompany him.

For this matter, Chen Zhenfeng came to Hou Kaishan twice in three days, but he shirked it several times, and finally he couldn't push it off, so he had to go, but his heart was extremely unpleasant.

Thinking about his thoughts, Hou Kaishan suddenly found that Lu Yuan had stopped, and when he looked left and right, it turned out that they were passing by Sun Shaoqing's small courtyard.

"My lord, let's go in and take a look, I heard that Miss Sun has been busy until late every day for the sake of the population."

"It's fine." Lu Yuan nodded, walked to the door and knocked.

It was Lan'er who opened the door, and when she saw Lu Yuan, she snorted, turned around and left.

Lu Yuan was slightly puzzled and shouted, "Girl, where did I offend you?" ”

Lan'er snorted: "You didn't offend me, it's just that Lan'er was a little scared when she saw the iron-faced and selfless county magistrate!" ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "That's good, I thought I offended our Lan'er girl, it turns out that you are just cowardly." ”

He had heard that Lan'er was blaming him for sending someone to lock Sun Bo up for a few days, but this matter was not easy to explain to this girl, so he simply pretended to be confused and went to the lobby by himself.

Lan'er stomped her feet and snorted in a low voice, "You're only cowardly, you know how to pretend." ”

Passing through the lobby, Lu Yuan found Sun Shaoqing who was still sleeping in the back room, the maid outside the door would not stop him, and let him into the inner room, Lu Yuan frowned when he saw her sleeping, and sighed in his heart, knowing that the recent increase in population had indeed made her abolish many gods.

Lu Yuan stared at her for a long time, and then walked out of the room lightly.

Since he saw Sun Shaoqing, he decided to take a bowl of water and go to see Qin Youyu again, but unfortunately when he arrived at the regimental training camp, the female soldiers stationed there said that she went to train outside the city.

Lu Yuan sighed with emotion, the hard work of these two fiancées often made him feel ashamed.

He mustered up his spirits and strode towards the Changwei dart game.

……

Outside the gate of the Changwei Dart Bureau, the snow has been cleared, and at this moment there is a row of people standing at the gate, including Jin Muxing, Jin Yuanwu, Zhanyuan and Jin Lanzhi and other important figures of the Dart Bureau.

Wang Quan, as Jin Yuanwu's beloved disciple, was naturally among them, and like everyone else, he was waiting for the first person in the county to come and visit.

He is now a fast catcher, and he knows a little about the affairs of the lord in the county government, and knows that he is a great person, and after working under him, he also feels that it is far better than being a little dart.

But as long as he thought of Zhanyuan, the little dart master of the year, and now he was sitting in the county lieutenant's yamen, wearing a blue official uniform, he was a hundred unconvinced, and a thousand were not convinced.

It's a pity that he is not convinced, he feels that this is fate, the best time has been missed, and no matter how much he regrets it, it will be useless.

Just like the Eagle Claw Gate and the Iron Sword Gate that just moved in, especially the Eagle Claw Gate, I heard that it has a close relationship with Hou County Lieutenant, but so what? I heard that they wanted to get a head-catcher position through Hou County Lieutenant, but they were rejected by Hou County Lieutenant, which can really be described as wishful thinking and whimsy!

The best time has been missed, the county magistrate now appoints officials based on merit, if he can be promoted by favors, with his current identity as his master, he has already found a good position for himself, and it is the turn of those outsiders?

Speaking of fighting for merit, how can I fight Zhang Wande, Luo Tai, Yuanqing and those guys, even in the fast catch, there is no shortage of desperate San Lang.

He Wang Quan first heard that he was going to be promoted to the mansion, and he didn't go to the red sleeves to add fragrance for more than a month, and he worked hard for a while, wanting to be able to drink a mouthful of soup after he was promoted!

Can you fight it? There are now two merit boards in the yamen, and there is a merit board outside the second hall, which is counted as great merit, and there is a merit board outside the hall, which is counted as small merit, and five small merits can be exchanged for one big merit.

He worked tirelessly for more than a month, and finally caught a thief, found a shop selling counterfeit medicines, and made two small achievements.

But when he went to the credit board, he found that there were more than 30 people who had made more meritorious contributions than him, and there were only 150 people in the county government, more than one-fifth.
