Xu Jingzong returned to the state government and went to his room to stay for a while.

"Where's the envoy?" Changshi Liao Quan came to ask to see him, but Xu Jingzong's entourage stopped him, "The envoy is writing a song." ”

In the room, there was a statue of a god on the table at this moment, and Xu Jingzong knelt on the futon, folded his hands, and prayed in a low voice: "...... I beg the gods to protect the believers from the broom star, and the returning believers will surely offer a rich ......"

It took him a long time to get up and put the idol away.

"Envoy, Liao Changshi asks to see you." There are small officials to pass through.

Xu Jingzong turned around, coughed dryly, and Wei Zhengxin came back, "Let him come." ”。 He squinted slightly, "The old man was thinking about the future of Huazhou, but he was interrupted by him. ”

The little official said admiringly: "It is really a blessing for the people of Huazhou to make you forget to sleep and eat for Huazhou!" ”

Then Chang Shi Liao Quan came in, saluted and said: "Envoy, the public party has a great deficit in money, and now the public chef can't even afford to buy vegetables, so it's noon today...... I'm afraid everyone can only drink porridge. ”

In addition to paying a portion of the officials' salaries, the interest on the loan was also responsible for the expenses of the yamen's canteen, that is, the public kitchen.

According to the rules of Datang, officials at all levels have their own small canteens, and everyone goes to eat and chat together, and things are done in a harmonious atmosphere.

Now I can't even run a small canteen, which shows how much money is missing.

Xu Jingzong glanced at Liao Quan, but he was muttering in his heart.

When he came to Huazhou, he was demoted, and by the way, he took a look at the broom star, but who would have thought that his predecessor had left such a big hole. Thinking that his dignified confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can only drink porridge, this is really unbearable!

"That's Liang Bo's deficit, by the way, why can't the money be recovered?"

The money catchers are all rich people, and at least they can afford the money they lend, that is, if they lose money in lending, the government can only let them pay all the money, and if they don't pay it, they will confiscate the family property.

Liao Quan said helplessly: "The two money catchers lent money to a merchant, and the two ships on which the merchant transported the goods sank, so that the king personally interrogated, but in the end it was a natural disaster, so he went to confiscate the family property of the two money catchers, who knew that the two people actually owed debts outside, and the family property had already been pawned, so the money was gone." ”

The poor people who catch money are still pretending to be rich outside, which will not trap the Huazhou Prefecture government.

"Cheap dog slave!" Xu Jingzong scolded and said, "What does this matter have to do with the old man? Go and borrow it, get the cook ready, and the old man wants to eat mutton for lunch. ”

Liao Quan was speechless, thinking that the dignified Huazhou Prefecture Government had to borrow money to maintain the expenses of the public chef, and when this news spread, I am afraid that even the officials in Chang'an City will laugh.

"Envoy, this face ......" Liao Quan felt that he still wanted face.

"Face is worth money?" Xu Jingzong put away his majestic face at this moment, and he was a scoundrel, "That old man Liang Bo has seen it once, and at first glance, he is incompetent, so he relied on flattery to achieve the history of Huazhou's assassination." Now he has made a hole for the old man to fill, why? ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

thought that Liang Bo was a famous virtuous minister, but in Xu Jingzong's mouth, he became a traitor. The key is that Xu Jingzong said that Liang Bo relied on flattery to ascend to power, which makes people feel ridiculous.

It's really too much to be so vitriol. You're the one who relied on flattery, right?

But the official was crushed to death, Liao Quan could only go out to borrow money, and after leaving the state office, he couldn't help but snort and scolded: "Dog official! ”

Xu Jingzong's reputation has long been infamous decades ago, a famous traitor in the Tang Dynasty, a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and greedy for power. After learning that he had come to take over the history of Huazhou's assassination, Liao Quan and many people felt that Huazhou's catastrophe had come.

Such traitors and villains are in charge of Huazhou, and the days of Huazhou officials are only afraid that Wang Xiaoer's New Year is the New Year, and a year is not as good as a year!

Later, Liao Quan went to borrow money, and finally got mutton at noon.

At lunchtime, all the qualified people appeared in the dining hall, and everyone else went to cook by themselves, so Xu Jingzong sat there and did not move.

This is the habit left by a certain assassin in the past, saying that no matter how high or low the official position is, he has to go to cook by himself, which is a bit of a meaning of having fun with the people, and it is also the meaning of lowering his status so that everyone can speak freely during lunch time.

Every subsequent assassin followed this habit, but Lao Xu disdained it. He felt that since he was a Shangguan, why didn't he enjoy the majesty he deserved?

A small official made a meal and sent it respectfully, Lao Xu hummed, and then started eating.

Those officials glanced at him from time to time, and their eyes were mostly helpless.

With such a Shangguan, I'm afraid our life is hopeless.

After eating, Liao Quan followed Xu Jingzong back. He looked at the famous traitor and asked with dissatisfaction, "Envoy, what about the broom star...... Someone in Chang'an sent a messenger and said it was ......"

He looked left and right, which was a hint: the people who sent the messengers were all bigwigs.

"That broom star made them panic? How could the old man be so pleased? Xu Jingzong only felt refreshed, like that...... Just Dun Lun is in general.

The so-called bigwigs are mostly those who are from the family. These people and the royal family are naturally rivals. In the former Sui Dynasty, it was these people who made Emperor Yang of Sui like a mang on his back, and then played a few big moves, all of which meant targeting these gate valve families.

As a result, Yang Guang's big action against the gate valve family failed, resulting in smoke everywhere, and then those gate valve families pushed the old Li family out to rebel, and finally succeeded in changing the dynasty.

The old Li family rebelled successfully, and Guan Long's gate valve family contributed a lot. But after becoming a royal family, the ass of the old Li family sat crookedly, and he muttered in his heart, feeling that the power of these gate valve families was too huge and dangerous, and they had to be weakened.

So the two sides faintly became rivals from teammates, and Lao Xu, as a loyal dog of the royal family, was naturally a thorn in their side. 、

So even if they passed the word, they only asked Liao Quan to convey it, instead of going to Xu Jingzong in person.

They think that Lao Xu should be powerful, but they don't know that Lao Xu is the kind of person who has clear grievances.

Those people had stumbling over Lao Xu in the past, so at this moment, knowing that they were panicking because of the broom star, Lao Xu couldn't help but be secretly refreshed.

Liao Quan had never seen a Shangguan so scathing, and he directly said that the old man was very pleased. He said helplessly: "Yes, those people are a little worried. ”

Xu Jingzong said with a straight face: "They are worried about them, what does it matter if they die with the old man?" Don't be verbose, the old man has a reason. ”

Liao Quan looked at the sky speechlessly, feeling that if the bigwigs of those gate valve families heard Xu Jingzong's words, they probably wanted to fly to Huazhou to strangle him.

Later in the evening, Lao Xu went out and went straight to the temple.

When the temple heard about this kind of thing, they felt that they valued their own family very much, and there was no reason not to agree, and they all said that they must use boundless Buddhism to suppress the broom star, and if it didn't work, they would build a tower to suppress it.

Xu Jingzong came to Yangjiawu again, and Yang Zhongshun, the village leader, greeted him and said: "Jia Ping'an has been at home last night and has not gone out. ”

Since Xu Jingzong left yesterday, Yang Zhongshun has made people keep an eye on Jia Ping'an, afraid that he will run away.

"You're good." Lao Xu bowed his head, and then went straight to Jia's house.

Lao Jia's house is very eye-catching, in the middle is his house, and the two neighbors' houses are full of climbing vines, and they look a little dusty.

"Both sides...... Isn't there a hermit there? An entourage felt that the artistic conception of climbing with green vines was very good, and he couldn't help but wonder who lived on both sides.

Yang Zhongshun had a constipated look on his face, "In the middle is the Jia family, the two families next door, when they raised dogs and chickens, the chickens flew to the roof in the middle of the night and crooked......"

it!

When everyone thinks about the scene of hearing the rooster crowing in the middle of the night, they can't help but feel particularly weird.

"Then the two families moved." Yang Zhongshun sighed.

Xu Jingzong felt a chill down his spine, so he coughed dryly, then clenched the Buddha statue in his palm and said, "Call him out." ”

Yang Zhongshun shouted: "Jia Ping'an, come out!" ”

It was quiet inside, and one of the attendants whispered, "Moh...... Killed himself, right? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then there was a sound of footsteps inside, and everyone looked at each other.

Jia Ping'an came out dressed in white.

The so-called white-clothed Shengxue, the so-called white-clothed fluttering, seems to be chic, but in fact it is just Mai, the clothes of inferior people.

Jia Ping'an came out slowly, saluted, then looked at Xu Jingzong, and said, "Can the envoy hold his mouth left and right?" Students have important things to say. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the few officials behind Xu Jingzong, thinking to himself if this plan didn't work, how would he suffer in the temple.

Xu Jingzong glanced at him, and suddenly remembered that those bigwigs had put pressure on him through Liao Quan, and said in a ghostly manner: "Avoid it." ”

In Lao Xu's opinion, it would be good if the broom star could designate the people, and all the people from the gate valve family would be fools.

After everyone avoided it, Xu Jingzong said coldly: "What do you have to say?" ”

In Lao Xu's opinion, although this broom star has been studying for a few years, the countryside is the countryside, what knowledge can he have? The so-called has something to say, I'm afraid it's not some insider story of the broom star.

For example, how he became an unlucky bastard, and how he killed two emperors.

Everyone has a gossip heart, and Lao Xu is no exception, and even has some small expectations.

Let the gossip come more violently!

Jia Ping'an felt that Lao Xu's expression was a little strange, as if he was looking forward to something, "Although the student is in the countryside, I have also heard that some people slander the envoy, and those people hate to let the envoy stay in Huazhou for the rest of his life, and he is not allowed to take a step into Chang'an." ”

Later generations did not study much on Lao Xu, and most of them inherited the attitude of Tang and Song historians, thinking that Lao Xu was a traitor.

But Shen An felt that Lao Xu could see clearly, stood in line thoroughly, and helped the emperor weaken the influence of the gate valve family, so he offended many people. Those people are big guys, and naturally they want him to be notorious in various records.

Xu Jingzong frowned slightly, but in fact, his heart was extremely cool. Many people outside looked at him angrily, saying that he was a traitor, but here, there was a young man who said that it was all slander.

But this level of words couldn't make Lao Xu stop, he said lightly: "The temple is going to build a tower for you, and you will go to Haosheng to cultivate." ”

it!

Jia Ping'an instantly thought of Leifeng Tower. The White Lady is suppressed under the Leifeng Tower, so is this tower suppressing me?

He endured the sense of absurdity and said: "If you want to return to Chang'an, you must make a career in Huazhou, otherwise, ...... Those people have a reason to suppress the envoy. ”

That's right, Xu Jingzong didn't expect a young man to have such insight, so he glanced at Jia Ping'an.

"But Huazhou's six mountains and three fields are a point of water, and they want to make some political achievements, in the eyes of students...... Difficult! ”

Jia Ping'an really listened too much to the so-called political achievements in later generations, and the Tang Dynasty said that it was an agricultural country, and officials wanted political achievements, except for education and persuasion, Mao did not have it.

In terms of understanding of political achievements, the officials of Datang are far from sincere.

So he used this to test it, if Lao Xu was not tempted, then he could only go to the tower to squat and transform into a male version of the white snake.

Thinking of the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in the dark tower, eating plain every day, the key is to be quiet, Jia Ping'an wanted to go back directly.

He seemed to be calm, but in his heart, he had already recited the names of all the immortals.

Xu Jingzong looked at him and suddenly smiled: "You are a young man, do you know what is called political achievements?" ”

Jia Ping'an's previous words were like saying to those lobbyists as soon as they met: "A certain person has come to pay tribute!" ”

The host must have been angry when he heard this, what? Do you think so-and-so is a dead man?

This is not shocking and endless.

Xu Jingzong really did that, Shen Anxin was overjoyed, and said: "The so-called three fires for the new official to take office, the students know one thing here, which can help the king solve the difficulty." ”

……

There are three fires for the new book release, the first fire: recommended votes, and the second fire: support......
