"Childe Qingping County has arrived."

A scholar outside Qingping County said to a young scholar, only to see that the young scholar was polite, wearing a Confucian robe, holding a plum blossom folding fan, indescribably chic and elegant.

"Great, it's finally here, let's go into town!"

The young scholar glanced at Qingping County as soon as he closed the folding fan, and a meaningful smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Okay, I'm tired all the way!" The scholar took the basket on his back and happily followed the scholar.

This young scholar is Wang Ziwen, after receiving the task of Li Yun asking him to infiltrate Qingping County, Wang Ziwen left Canglan Mountain and went to Kushui County. Because the person Wang Ziwen wants to impostor is called Ye Lixin, who is the distant nephew of Xue Guangju, the county commander of Qingping County, and this Ye Lixin lives in Kushui County.

After arriving in Kushui County, Wang Ziwen investigated all the circumstances of Ye Lixin and found out all his social relationships. Fortunately, Ye Lixin's social background is very simple, and he had no contact with those relatives when his parents were injured or injured in his early years, so Xue Guangju was not familiar with this nephew.

So after arranging everything, Wang Ziwen coerced Ye Lixin to burn down the ancestral house, and announced to the public that the ancestral house was on fire and he wanted to go to his distant uncle, and then left Kushui County. On the way, Ye Lixin was escorted to Canglan Mountain, and Wang Ziwen embarked on the road to Qingping County on Li Daitaozhuang.

After entering Qingping County, Wang Ziwen went straight to the location of the county government.

After arriving at the county office, Wang Ziwen said very plainly: "This little brother please let me know, just say that Ye Lixin is here to visit his uncle!" ”

Hearing this, the official glanced at Wang Ziwen, and his eyes were full of confusion, "Uncle? Who is your uncle? ”

Wang Ziwen replied without humility or arrogance: "The student's uncle is none other than your Qingping County Commander Xue Guangju Xue. ”

"Lord Xue!"

The official couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, the person in front of him was actually Lord Xue's nephew.

I saw him look at it and say, "Okay, you wait here, I'll go in and report it." After saying that, the official entered the report.

As a scholar, Wang Ziwen also has the pride of a scholar, even if he goes up the mountain and falls into the grass, this pride has never been buried. Therefore, in terms of temperament, he can be said to be stubborn, and he is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the servants, so that he does not dare to have the slightest contempt.

At this time, Xue Guangju was reviewing the file in the back office, and after the official came in, he whispered: "My lord, there is a person named Ye Lixin outside the door who asks to see him, saying that he is your nephew. ”

Xue Guangju raised his head when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he had received a letter a few days ago, saying that a distant nephew from Kushui County was coming to join him. But he didn't pay attention to it at all, because since he came out of high school, this kind of distant relatives who couldn't hit the eight poles had popped up, and he had long been tired of it.

"Let him wait in the living room."

"No!"

But after thinking about it for a while, Xue Guangju still decided to meet him, because the juniors would never come empty-handed when they met the elders. And Xue Guangju was just a poor student before high school, and after high school, he worked in the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites for ten years, and finally got through the joints to get the opportunity to be released, so his appetite is quite good, even if he is a fly leg, he can take two bites.

Wang Ziwen outside the yamen seemed full of confidence, and he had no doubts at all that Xue Guangju would see him. Because of Dai Ying's cat's eyes, he has already found out all the people in the officialdom of Qingping County. The description of Xue Guangju in the information is that he is extremely greedy for money, and he belongs to a person who will not let go of the copper plate.

Sure enough, a moment later, the official came out, "Childe-sama asked you to wait for him in the living room." ”

"Okay, lead the way." Wang Ziwen said with a smile.

So under the leadership of the officials, Wang Ziwen soon came to the living room. However, this Lord Xue is very arrogant, not only is there no tea, but he has not been seen for a long time.

But Wang Ziwen did not have the slightest displeasure, he simply quietly admired the paintings in the living room, and waited very patiently.

In this way, it was not until a long time later that the county magistrate was late. After seeing Xue Guangju, Wang Ziwen immediately greeted him, and said very respectfully: "The little nephew has seen my uncle, and I haven't seen my uncle for many years, you still have the same demeanor!" ”

"Hmm."

Xue Guangju skimmed Wang Ziwen when he heard this, and then answered softly.

Regarding Xue Guangju's cold attitude, Wang Ziwen had already expected it, and when he waved his hand, the scholar took out an ancient painting from the book basket.

Then Wang Ziwen handed the ancient painting to Xue Guangju, "Uncle and nephew came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts, this painting is my father's collection, and my little nephew borrowed flowers to give Buddha to my uncle, and I hope my uncle will not dislike it." As he spoke, Wang Ziwen gently opened the painting.

Originally, when Xue Guangju heard that there was only one painting, he was still a little unhappy. But when Wang Ziwen opened the painting, his face changed, as the head of a county, Xue Guangju not only embezzled, but also had a certain skill in appreciating ancient paintings.

"Could this be Chen Yunsong's pine mountain snow viewing map!"

The more Xue Guangju looked at it, the more frightened he became, Chen Yunsong was a master of calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty, and his paintings were loved by the wealthy families, so they were extremely valuable.

"Virtuous nephew, this is Chen Yunsong's real handiwork! How can this make the old man stand it! Although Xue Guangju had some prevarication in his mouth, the essence in his eyes and the greed on his face could not be hidden.

But Wang Ziwen said with a serious face: "Uncle must not shirk, you are like the father of the little nephew when the parents of the little nephew die early, and please ask the uncle to give the little nephew a chance to be filial!" ”

Hearing that Wang Ziwen was so sincere, Xue Guangju didn't shirk it, "Well, the virtuous nephew is really filial piety, so the old man accepted it." ”

After accepting the painting, Xue Guangju immediately shouted: "Someone who came should not hurry up and serve good tea!" ”

At this time, Xue Guangju's attitude can be said to have undergone a 180-degree change, from the original disdain to the current one bite of a virtuous nephew, it can really be said that he has cultivated the kung fu of changing his face to the extreme.

Of course, Wang Ziwen is not inferior, and he is not inferior to him in the first place. So after the two exchanged polite words, Wang Ziwen said his purpose.

I saw Wang Ziwen take a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "In addition to visiting my uncle this time, my uncle and little nephew also want to find an errand under my uncle, and I hope my uncle can mention a little bit!" ”

Xue Guangju shook his head when he heard this, and replied: "Virtuous nephew, you are young, you should concentrate on studying and gaining fame in the future, how can you give up halfway!" ”

Wang Ziwen pretended to be ashamed after hearing this, and put on an expression that stopped talking, "What my uncle said is very true, the little nephew also studied hard and wanted to test a fame, but when Nai was unlucky, he failed to succeed repeatedly, so he couldn't help but be a little disheartened. ”

Saying that, Wang Ziwen deliberately sighed, "Alas......! It seems that there is no hope for the little nephew on the road to fame, so I hope that my uncle will give the little nephew an errand to settle down! ”

After Wang Ziwen finished speaking, Xue Guangju smiled and said nothing, because this situation like Wang Ziwen is very common, and the road to the imperial examination is to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and there is no one who can break through.

And like a scholar from a civilian family, if he can't get famous, he can only end up becoming a private school teacher or a bookkeeper. Therefore, being a small official in the government is also a good way out.

However, the establishment of the county government is limited, so Xue Guangju will not give it out so easily.

So I saw Xue Guangju shaking his head, so he said in embarrassment: "Oh, virtuous nephew! You're making my uncle very embarrassed! Your parents died early, and your uncle should take care of you, but the establishment in the yamen is limited, one radish and one pit, and there is no vacancy at present, so this errand is really difficult to arrange! ”

Looking at Xue Guangju's embarrassed appearance, Wang Ziwen only felt a burst of amusement in his heart, if he hadn't investigated it in advance, he would have really believed the nonsense of this old thing.

"The little nephew understands that this matter is extremely difficult, but I also ask my uncle to help the little nephew in the face of the late father!" Saying that, Wang Ziwen quietly handed over a silver ticket.

Taking the silver ticket, Xue Guangju glanced at it lightly, and then showed a gratifying smile on his face, "Okay, everyone is a family, I will definitely help you settle down, but I don't know what your specialty is!" ”

Speaking of the specialty, Wang Ziwen smiled confidently, "Uncle Yu, my little nephew has been practicing diligently in addition to studying the sages and sages over the years, so I want to enter the patrol battalion to serve the country." ”

"Patrol battalion?"

Hearing that Wang Ziwen was going to enter the patrol camp, Xue Guangju couldn't help but be a little surprised, but the Qianyuan Empire was not lightly martial, after all, this was a world dominated by cultivators.

"Well, okay then, it just so happens that there is a vacancy in the patrol battalion, so you can go to the patrol battalion and be a team." After receiving the money, Xue Guangju was still very happy to give the position.

"Thank you uncle for mentioning it, the little nephew will definitely serve the court faithfully and faithfully, so as to live up to his uncle's love." got what he wanted, Wang Ziwen immediately got up and thanked him.

"Well, do a good job, I'm sure you'll be able to do a good job."

Then Xue Guangju encouraged Wang Ziwen, but he didn't know that the nephew in front of him was an impostor, but I believe he didn't care about this.

Speaking of the patrol battalion in Qingping County, it is really unlucky, because it is close to Canglan Mountain, so it was pulled by the long wind and waves to be cannon fodder, and suffered heavy losses in the battle of Canglan Mountain. Chang Fenglang finally patted his ass and left, but left the mess to Qingping County.

But how did Xue Guangju fill such a big deficit, Qingping County was not a rich county, so many people died in the patrol battalion this time, just the bereavement was enough to give Xue Guangju a headache, let alone rebuild the patrol battalion, so the patrol battalion in Qingping County has always been that rotten.

But this is also good, Wang Ziwen can take the opportunity of recruiting troops to arrange the people of the Vermilion Bird Army into the patrol camp, and finally secretly control this armed force.
