Zhang Huaiyu is about the same age as Gu Qing, even if there is a story at such an age, there are not many vicissitudes of life, and after the virtuous and famous, she has no choice but to have a reason.

Zhang Huaiyu never said anything about her experience, but Gu Qing could guess some. The concubine is a girl, and it is inevitable that she will be left out in the cold, so isn't the virtuous family patriarchal?

It was not her parents who lit up her hope in life, but Gu Qing's parents. So she left that cold home, wandered the rivers and lakes and wanted to become a chivalrous woman, what Gu Qing's parents were doing when they were alive, she wanted to continue to do it.

Zhang Jiuling used to be a minister in Chang'an, there are too many old people in Chang'an, Zhang Huaiyu is reluctant to go to Chang'an, Gu Qing can understand.

It's just that I'm a little disappointed.

When Li Bai left, Gu Qing was also the same loss, but today's loss is different from his loss when Li Bai left, there are some subtle and indescribable differences, Gu Qing himself can't say it.

Everyone is siblings with different surnames, and they are all parting, why is the parting with Li Bai and the parting with Zhang Huaiyu emotionally different?

This question is worth thinking about, but fortunately, it is a long way to Chang'an, and there is plenty of time to think about this problem clearly.

Zhang Huaiyu took out two jars of wine from her back, obviously prepared a long time ago, and she sat on the steps and waited for him silently.

"Parting is just for reunion, and we will be together. Come, you and I will rest tonight when we get drunk. Zhang Huaiyu handed him a jar of wine and said with a smile.

Gu Qing also smiled: "Without you by my side, I won't be used to it." ”

Zhang Huaiyu glanced at him deeply, suddenly looked up at the moon, and said lightly: "I am used to you with or without you." ”

"Can't eat the food I cook, are you used to it?"

Zhang Huaiyu glanced at him: "Do you think I stayed in Shiqiao Village for so long to eat the dishes you cooked?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Zhang Huaiyu sighed speechlessly, picked up the wine jar and said, "Drink, don't speak, don't say a word." ”

Gu Qing had no choice but to drink in silence.

The two of them didn't say a word, they drank under the bright moonlight, and after drinking a jar of wine, Gu Qing was already a little drunk, and was about to say something, Zhang Huaiyu suddenly got up and said, "I won't send you tomorrow, I don't like the taste of parting." ”

After a pause, Zhang Huaiyu didn't look back, and said chicly: "I'm leaving." ”

After saying that, he flew up to the wall, and his toes tapped on the wall, and the person disappeared outside the wall.

Gu Qing's slightly drunken eyes were a little melancholy, the first time she saw her, she also flew in from outside the wall.

Time is not old, people are scattered.

…………

Early the next morning, many villagers stood at the entrance of the village, helping the old and the young to stand quietly on the side of the mountain road at the entrance of the village.

Gu Qing was wearing an ordinary linen shirt, with a bun on his head, which looked ordinary but clean, and he was carrying a thin bag in his hand at random, which contained his new official uniform, and went on the road in simple clothes.

Seeing Gu Qing approaching, Feng Aweng led the whole village to salute Gu Qing.

"Shaolangjun is going to Chang'an, the future is bright, and his fame moves the world!"

The villagers said in unison: "The future is splendid, and the fame moves the world!" ”

Feng Aweng then brought a bowl of wine and said: "There is a big man in Shiqiao Village, the neighbors are proud, come, and drink Zhuangxing wine, the officialdom is stormy, if you are wronged, Shiqiao Village is still your home, you can come back at any time." ”

Gu Qing took the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and suddenly a sense of pride suddenly appeared in his chest, and he said loudly: "Let him be stormy, I, Gu Qing, will be the one who will fix the storm!" ”

With a fist clasped and saluted the villagers, Gu Qing turned around and strode away.

A few steps out of the entrance of the village, Feng Aweng limped and chased after him, and handed Gu Qing a small dagger, the dagger sheath was inlaid with a few red gems, Feng Aweng told him in a low voice that this dagger was handed over to Gu Qing by Zhang Huaiyu, saying that he should keep it for self-defense.

Gu Qing pulled out the dagger, and the blade emitted a cold cold light, this dagger was obviously not ordinary.

Putting the dagger in his arms, Gu Qing couldn't help but glance in the direction of the village, then withdrew his gaze in disappointment, smiled at Feng Aweng, saluted goodbye, and went on the road freely.

Coming to Qingcheng County alone, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were already waiting outside the city gate, and there were four carriages quietly parked next to them.

Gu Qing smiled, it seems that the two shopkeepers have already made sufficient preparations in order to go to Chang'an for development.

Gu Qing's current official position is only the eighth grade, but the two shopkeepers still value Gu Qing's connections, after all, those who have a friendship with the concubine Niangniang will not be difficult to ascend to the sky in the future. This time, the investment of the two shopkeepers is very certain, unless one day in the future, Gu Qing will ruin his future.

Seeing Gu Qing coming alone, Hao Donglai hurriedly took his burden and knife and prepared to help him into the carriage, but Gu Qing refused with a smile.

When I came to this world, I already had too many bonds, and some goodbyes could not be omitted.

Letting the two shopkeepers wait outside the city for a while, Gu Qing walked into the city alone and came to the gate of the county office.

There were two errand guards standing at the door, Gu Qing did not reveal his identity as a military attaché, and politely asked the messenger to go in and pass it on, and asked the chief bookkeeper Song Gensheng to come out and see him.

The two officers glanced at him coldly, not squeaking or moving.

Gu Qing shook his head with a wry smile, took out a few pennies from his arms and handed them to the two messengers, and politely invited them to pass on the message again.

For the sake of money, the messenger snorted lukewarmly and said wait.

So the messenger turned around and walked into the side door of the county office, stopped when he crossed the threshold, and shouted to a man dressed as a miscellaneous servant inside: "Go and call the guy surnamed Song out, someone is looking for him." ”

Gu Qing frowned, in this simple sentence, he heard something wrong.

The size is a master book, the official rank of the main book of the Datang County is different from place to place, the main book of Jing County and Daxian County is from the ninth grade, most of them are held by some scholars who have failed the scientific examination, and there are also local nobles who recommend it. Some of the main books of small counties are from the ninth grade, and some are not into the grade, and they are counted as small officials, but whether there is a grade or not, the main book of a county is at least an official, how can there be a reason for the errand to shout so loudly at the main book, and he is not even called by name, but directly called "the guy surnamed Song".

The handyman went in and called Song Gensheng, and the messenger stood at the door again and continued to be on duty.

Gu Qing didn't understand the situation, smiled quietly, and arched his hand to the officer: "Master Song just came to the county government on an errand, did he do it well?" ”

The arrogance that came out of nowhere came out of nowhere, the servant said coldly: "You are his countryman, right?" When you go back, you tell Song Gensheng, whether you are an official or a person, leave some leeway in everything, don't embarrass our county lieutenants. ”

Gu Qing nodded, yes, this is a contradiction, and it belongs to the personnel struggle within the county government.

The county lieutenant of the Datang County Ya is Zheng Jiupin, whose duties are anti-theft, justice, taxation, etc., which is regarded as a relatively powerful official, which is equivalent to serving as the director of the public security bureau, the prison warden, the tax bureau chief and other positions.

Gu Qing smiled playfully.

Interesting, Song Gensheng's nerd has only been in the county government for a few days, and he actually had a conflict with the county lieutenant, it seems that this kid is really not the material to be an official.

Gu Qing decided to watch more and listen more and talk less.

Not long after, Song Gensheng walked out of the side door of the county government wearing a cyan official robe.

He didn't come out alone, he was followed by two servants, not to give him strength, but to pull Song Gensheng's collar and sleeves, and dragged him hard from left to right, Song Gensheng looked extremely embarrassed, his official robe was dragged to pieces, his hair was scattered, and he was still struggling to get rid of it.

The two officers not only dragged him, but also cursed and cursed incessantly.

"The surname Song, today you have to give an explanation, our county lieutenant just received some money from the family members of the prisoners, the county government has always had this rule, and it is not our county lieutenant who is greedy, our brothers below have also benefited, it is a big deal, you actually sued the county magistrate, and our county lieutenant was scolded by the county magistrate, and the money was deducted, and the brothers below us have no income, the surname Song, I will not give an explanation today, see how you will do it in the county government in the future!"

Song Gensheng was still struggling, but his expression was very firm: "If there is no clear law, the rules are not called rules!" It's not a matter of how much money is charged, and I also follow the rules! I can't give an explanation of this matter, if you are not satisfied, you will ask the county lieutenant to beat me to death, as long as I am the master book for one day, this rule must be broken! ”

The two officers were furious, and they became more and more rude, and they looked like they were about to make a vivid attack on Song Gen.

Gu Qing watched coldly and saw some signs.

The hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty is strict, and the people below usually dare not commit crimes, but if the county lieutenant who was scolded and detained was instructed in the back, it would be difficult to say.

Seeing that Song Gensheng was about to be beaten, Gu Qing sighed, but his eyes gradually became cold.

Slowly stepped forward, grabbed the arm of an errand officer, the errand was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Gu Qing, Gu Qing smiled at him, the smile was not completely imprinted in the officer's mind, the next moment, the fist had reached his face, the errand was punched by him so that his eyes were full of stars, and his body staggered sideways like a crab before standing firm, and then looked at him with a bewildered face, and did not react for a long time.

The other officer was also stunned, and was kicked in the stomach by Gu Qing, and the officer was pushed away in pain, holding his stomach and feeling so painful that he couldn't stand up.

After the embarrassed Song Gensheng saw Gu Qing, he said happily: "Why are you here?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and helped him tidy up his messy official uniform, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll do things first." ”

On the other side, including the two messengers who were originally standing at the door, a total of four people pulled out the iron ruler behind their waists to arrest the embezzlement, bowed down and looked at Gu Qing vigilantly, and one of the messengers shouted: "Dare to disrupt the people, dare to attack the government's tolerance, take it!" ”

The four of them were about to step forward, when Gu Qing suddenly took out a wooden card, threw it to one of the officers, and smiled kindly: "No, no, no, I'm not Diao Min, I'm Diao Guan." ”

The wooden plaque is the identity of the military attache of the Zuowei Prince's Mansion, which is dedicated to entering and exiting the Chang'an Palace, and is engraved with "Chang'an Zuowei Mansion", as well as several digital numbers.

The four officers were shocked and angry together, and after all, there was a literate one among the officers, who recognized the words on the wooden card, and then the expressions of the four suddenly became very exciting, their faces turned red and blue, and their angry expressions immediately became embarrassed and awe-inspiring.

Gu Qing took out an official letter from his bosom and handed it to the literate officer, saying, "And this, I have seen it clearly, beware of counterfeiting, and I will pay ten for one fake." ”

The messenger took it and looked at it, and handed it back to Gu Qing with trembling hands along with the wooden card, and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's the general of Chang'an, I just offended, this little general has a lot of adults, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as the villains." ”

The first time he was called "General", Gu Qingle laughed twice, and still said with a pleasant face: "Of course I won't meet you, after all, we have no grudges and no hatred, and a small conflict is not a ......"

Before the four officers had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Qing said again: "However, there is a grudge between you and Master Song, I want to ask Wei County Order, don't the people in Qingcheng County have any dignity?" When did the county government officials dare to beat the Jiupin master book, and the following offenses, with humility and respect, Song master book, what kind of crime is this? Is it enough to kill the head? ”

The four messengers were so frightened that their faces were pale, and Song Gensheng smiled bitterly: "Gu Qing, you ...... Don't make a fuss, of course it's not enough to kill your head. ”

Then Song Gensheng said again: "Are you an official?" When? ”

Gu Qing shook his head, glanced at Song Gensheng, and said, "I'm going to Chang'an today, I'm here to say goodbye to you, and I'll teach you a lesson before I leave, and teach you how to be a good official." Roots, see clearly. ”

After speaking, Gu Qing slowly walked up to the most rude officer who had pulled Song Gensheng just now, and took out the dagger that Zhang Huaiyu gave him from his arms expressionlessly, and under the stunned gaze of the officers, Gu Qing shot out like lightning, and a dagger was slammed into the thigh of the messenger.

Blood splattered, and the messenger fell to the ground screaming miserably.
