"Former Luyang County Order? Kong Jian, Kong Wenju?'

Zhao Yu looked at the uninvited guest in the distance in surprise.

He knows that the current county magistrate Liu Wei has not served as the county magistrate in Luyang County for a long time, and it has only been a few years, and because of this, Liu Jian and the Luyang Township Marquis were not familiar with each other before this time, until the disaster of the influx of refugees in the county this time, so that the two gradually developed friendship in the process of assisting each other.

And before Liu Wei, who was the county magistrate of Luyang County?

In fact, Zhao Yu inadvertently asked a similar question some time ago, but at that time, the Luyang Township Marquis had an unswerving expression, and Zhao Yu immediately guessed that his father had a poor relationship with the former county commander, so he did not ask any further.

Unexpectedly, today, the former county magistrate actually appeared in front of his mansion......

Is it friend or foe?

Zhao Yu secretly paid attention to his father's complexion.

I saw that under his gaze, the Luyang Township Marquis took a deep look at Kong Jian in the distance, and then walked towards the mansion with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "Enter the mansion." ”

Looking at his appearance, he didn't mean to invite the other party to sit in the mansion at all.

Of course, Zhao Yu would not disobey his father for the sake of a stranger, so without saying a word, he led Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, Jingnu, and Cao An to follow behind his father and walked in the direction of the mansion.

However, he didn't take two steps, and he heard Kong Jian laugh in the distance: "Zi said that there are friends from afar, don't you also say it?" Kong and the townsman have been separated for almost 15 years so far, didn't the townsman invite Kong to sit in the house? ”

"Fifteen years? Fifteen years?'

Zhao Yu turned his head in surprise and glanced at Kong Jian, a little puzzled in his heart.

At this time, the Luyang townsman also stopped, glanced at Kong Jian with an indifferent expression, and said coldly: "What kind of friend are you?" ”

After that, he sneered, did not invite Kong Jian, and continued to walk towards the mansion.

Seeing this, Kong Jian shouted in the distance: "Don't the townsmen want to know how to get out of Xia?" Don't you want to know why you returned to Luyang? ”

“……”

The townsman of Luyang stopped again, turned his head and glanced at Kong Jian thoughtfully.

may have guessed the hesitation in the heart of the Luyang townsman, and Kong Jian walked over slowly, and at this time, Zhao Yu gradually saw the other party's appearance clearly.

According to Zhao Yu's observation, this Kong Jian was about forty or fifty years old, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, although there was a little smile on his face, Zhao Yu always felt that there was some ill will in this smile.

As if noticing that Zhao Yu was observing himself, Kong Jian turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, and then said to the Luyang townsman with a smile: "This is the son of the townsman?" Tut-tut, I really can't imagine it, the little townsman back then, now even his son is so old, and the years are unforgiving. ”

The Marquis of Luyang frowned slightly, and after glancing at Kong Jian, he turned around and walked towards the mansion gate.

But what he meant was that he neither invited Kong Jian, but he also did not refuse Kong Jian, maybe he really wanted to know what the latter would do when he returned to Luyang.

Following the father and son of the Luyang townsman, Kong Jian walked into the township's mansion.

The guard Zhang Ying was still on duty at the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Kong Jian, he explained when he greeted the townsman of Luyang: "Xianghou, when this guest came to visit the township, the townsman was not in the mansion, and he wanted to invite him into the mansion, but this honored guest insisted on waiting for the townsman in the carriage in front of the gate of the mansion......"

"He's not a distinguished guest." The Marquis of Luyang interrupted Zhang Ying's explanation expressionlessly, and Zhang Ying was full of confusion.

Not a guest?

"Haha." Hearing the unkind words of the Luyang townsman, Kong Jian was not angry, but said with emotion: "It seems that over the years, there have been many new faces in the township's mansion, and even Kong doesn't recognize ......"

Hearing this, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng behind Zhao Yu looked at each other.

You must know that Zhang Ying, who was called Uncle Ying by Zhang Ji, followed Zhang Chun to Luyang Township, and came to this mansion for nearly ten years, but he didn't expect that Kong Jian to say that he was a new face that he had never seen.

Subsequently, the Luyang townsman took Kong Jian to the main hall of the main house in the front yard, and before that, Kong Jian continued to express his feelings about what he saw: "In this mansion, it is still as Kong saw back then, but there are many more people, it seems that the townsman has run this mansion very well over the years...... Congratulations, congratulations. ”

The Marquis of Luyang turned a deaf ear, but a few questions flashed in Zhao Yu's heart: This Kong Jian seems to be very familiar with the appearance of this mansion?

Out of curiosity, he followed him into the main hall.

The townsman of Luyang glanced at his son, hesitated slightly, but didn't say anything, just said indifferently to Kong Jian: "Sit down." ”

Kong Jian didn't care about the indifference of the Luyang townspeople, he sat down in the seat on the east side casually, and immediately looked curiously at Zhao Yu, who was sitting in the chief of the Luyang townspeople, and asked curiously: "Townspeople, I don't know what the little prince is calling?" ”

"What does it have to do with you?"

The Marquis of Luyang replied unceremoniously, and immediately, he did not order the servants in the mansion to serve tea, stared at Kong Jian intently, and asked indifferently: "I let you enter the mansion, I just want to find out one thing, that is, why didn't you die?!" If you don't want to explain, get out of here! ”

Zhao Yu looked at his father in surprise, because he rarely saw his father so angry.

Kong Jian looked at the Luyang townsman with a sigh, shook his head and said: "Tut-tut, I really can't imagine that the shy and introverted townsman who was so shy and introverted when I first saw him now has such momentum......"

Seeing that the other party was talking to himself in such an elder tone, the Luyang Township Marquis immediately turned pale and shouted: "Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, give him to me......"

"Wait." Before the Luyang townsman could finish speaking, Kong Jian raised his hand to interrupt, only to see him look at the Luyang townsman and say with a smile: "The townsman wants to know how Kong can escape prison?" It's very simple, just dot up and down...... Thanks to the townsman, Kong sent all his family wealth at that time, so that he could survive in prison and not be named and beheaded by Qiu Guan. ”

Zhao Yu peeked at his father and his face turned blue when he heard this, and he even clenched his fists.

"Sending out all the money?" Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang sneered: "Do you mean the people's fat and people's ointment that you set up a project in Luyang County in those years?" ”

After a pause, he asked in disbelief: "Also, the officials of the royal capital actually took bribes from you?" Aren't they afraid of being asked? ”

"Hahaha." Kong Jian smiled, shook his head and said: "Township, Xianghou, Kong Mou mentioned back then, your vision is still small, in this world, who doesn't love money?" This money can be connected to ghosts and gods! ”

"Humph!" The Luyang Township Marquis snorted heavily and asked coldly, "Then how did you escape from prison?" Even if Qiu Guan accepted your bribe, he would not dare to violate the royal law and release you, a death row prisoner, from prison. ”

"Death row inmates?"

That Kong Jian's gaze at the Luyang townsman flashed with a thick hatred, and then he let out a long breath, with a bit of happiness and pride, and said with a smile: "Because God is pitiful, even God thinks that I am not guilty to death." …… In the second year of my imprisonment in the royal capital, I happened to coincide with the birth of the lord of Xiangrui, who stayed in this poor and remote country, and the lord of Xiangrui was the most favored granddaughter of the saint today, although his father was not the prince of the prince, but he was given the name 'Xiangrui' and was named the lord of the county. After the birth of the lord of Xiangrui, the Son of Heaven granted amnesty to the world, and he was a death row prisoner in the mouth of the Hou of his hometown, so he was exempted from the death penalty......" He pointed to himself, with obvious mockery in his actions.

"God is open!" He laughed.

The townsman of Luyang turned pale when he heard this, and said coldly when he heard the words: "It's almost the same that the heavens are blindfolded, and you actually escaped the catastrophe by luck...... As he spoke, he let out a long breath and asked indifferently: "What are you doing back to Luyang?" ”

"Don't worry, Kong will explain later."

Kong Jian smiled proudly, and then recalled with emotion: "At that time, it was really a great luck in misfortune, in order to escape being beheaded in the first year, Kong sent all his family wealth and asked people everywhere to make connections...... Although after the birth of the benefactor Xiangrui monarch, I escaped death because of the amnesty of the world, but at that time there was no money and rice in my hands, in desperation, I mixed in the market of Kyoto, and lived not as good as the untouchables, the townsman, the Zhao townsman, these are all thanks to you! ”

"It's your own gift!" The Marquis of Luyang Township said coldly: "You didn't count the scraping of Luyang County back then, and you deceived me when I was young and tried to encroach on my family's ancestral industry, otherwise how could you fall to such a situation?" ”

"Humph!" At this moment, Kong Jian finally put away the hypocritical smile on his face, and said with a gloomy face: "I underestimated you back then, and was victimized by your treacherous schemes...... I really didn't expect that the townsman, who was only ten years old at the time, would have such a city government......"

On the side, Zhao Yu couldn't help blinking.

What do I hear? My dad got rid of a county order? not only made the other party lose his official position, but was even almost beheaded by the Autumn Queen?

He looked at his father in surprise.

These days, he often heard his mother mention that his father always liked to show off his intelligence when he was young in front of her, and criticized the brothers for not being as smart as when he was young......

This dad was really amazing when he was young!

But it's a pity that the Marquis of Luyang didn't care about the surprise and admiration in his son's eyes at the moment, he stared at Kong Jian intently and asked: "I don't have time to listen to you mention these old things, and I don't want to hear how hard you worked in Wangdu at that time, it's all your own fault!" I only ask you, after more than ten years, what are you going to do when you go back to Luyang, the poor country you call in your mouth? Take revenge on me? ”

"Hmph." Kong Jian snorted lightly, looked at the Luyang townsman and gritted his teeth and said: "I firmly remember that one winter, even the untouchables were still able to burn wood at home to keep warm, and I shrank under the walls of others...... At that time, I secretly swore that one day, I would give it back! ”

The Marquis of Luyang looked at Kong Jian calmly, and looked at the smug smile on the latter's face: "It seems that you seem to have defected to some great character......

"Hehehe." Kong Jian's face showed a look of pride, and he sneered: "Blessing in disguise, through my own efforts, I have been appreciated by the prince, no, this time I was entrusted by the princess and ordered by the imperial court to go to Wancheng to restore the governance of Nanyang County...... Ah, the townsman seemed to be surprised, didn't Kong mention it? Oops, it doesn't seem to have been mentioned, sorry, sorry, this person is old, even if it is inevitable that he will forget some of it. ”

Looking at this Kong Jian's villainous face, the father and son of Luyang Township Marquis frowned in unison.

Restore the rule of Nanyang County?

Doesn't that mean......
