"Gong Liu, please."

Zhang Ying, who was at the gate of the township marquis's mansion, had already received the news, and when the county order Liu Wei came, he took Liu Wei to the study according to the instructions of the Luyang township marquis.

At this time, in the study, the Marquis of Luyang Township was discussing with Zhang Chun, the head of the guard, and Cao Ju, the steward of the house, and heard that Liu Yi was coming, and the Marquis of Luyang Township immediately led the two out of the study to greet each other.

"I'm tired of Liu Gong coming in a hurry, I really can't help it." When greeting each other, the Marquis of Luyang said apologetically.

"Eh, why did the townsman say this?" Liu Gong waved his hand, and then asked with a straight face: "However, what happened?" ”

"It's hard to say, let me tell Liu Gong slowly. …… I think Liu Gong hasn't eaten yet, right? The insider instructed the cook to prepare some wine and food, and I waited to talk while eating. ”

"That's a ...... Ha, that's bothering. ”

After a few words of greetings, the Marquis of Luyang invited Liu Wei into the study, and then the two sat opposite each other in a low case, accompanied by Zhang Chun and Cao Ju.

After a while, the cook brought the prepared wine and food, and placed it on the low table in the house, there were three kinds of poultry, porpoise, fish, and some small dishes such as dried tofu and preserved fruits that were specially conducive to wine.

"Please."

"Please."

The four of them sat around the low desk and drank a bowl of wine, and then, Liu Wei looked at Zhang Chun and Cao Ju on the side, and then his eyes fell on the Luyang townsman who was sitting opposite, and said, "Townsman, what happened?" ”

Seeing this, the Marquis of Luyang told Liu Jian about the fact that Kong Jian, the former county commander of Fangcai, came to visit him, including his grievances and grievances with Kong Jian.

After hearing this, Liu Jian stroked his beard and frowned, and asked, "This Kong Jian is Liu's predecessor?" Wait, Liu's predecessor, isn't it Yin Song and Lord Yin? As far as Liu knows, Ding Wu, Xu Xuan and others were all promoted by Lord Yin......"

"Exactly." The Marquis of Luyang nodded and said: "Kong Jian was deposed, it has been fifteen years since then, and then it was Yin Gong who went to office, at that time I Luyang was in a mess, thanks to Yin Gong's hard work, cleaning up the mess left by Kong Jian, it took several years of work before and after, and it gradually restored my Luyang and made up for the county warehouse that was lost by Kong Jian." I think about it, well, Yin Gong should have served as the county magistrate in my Luyang County for twelve years, and then because of his physical relationship, Yin Gong resigned and returned to his hometown, and his successor is Liu Gong, you ......"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Liu Wei nodded, and said with emotion: "I came to Luyang three years ago, I remember that at that time, Lord Yin also specially tested the next one, and told the people to govern Luyang in the next life, and not to rule the people under the rule of fish and flesh, these admonitions still dare not forget." …… Well, I remembered, at that time, Lord Yin mentioned Kong Jian, saying that my generation can't learn from Kong Jian, and I am ashamed to be a prince. That's that Kong Jian, right? What did he come back for? ”

Lu Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know what's going on, he claims to be the confidant of Wang Taishi, and this time he was named to go to Wancheng to restore the rule of Nanyang County." ”

"Master Wang?" Liu Wei frowned: "Wang Ying? ”

After that, he saw that the townsmen of Luyang showed a confused look, so he explained: "Townspeople, do you still remember the county commanders Wang Dan and Wang Fengzhong in Ruyang? …… This Wang Dan is a distant relative of Wang Ying and Wang Taishi, and he is also a disciple. ”

The Marquis of Luyang suddenly realized: "It's actually that Wang Taishi...... What is the conduct of this prince, and what does Liu Gong know? ”

Liu Wei chuckled and shook his head, and said: "I know what the townsman wants to say, this prince princess, according to my understanding when I was seeking officials in the royal capital, is probably not a treacherous person, but his reputation is not so good, it is said that he is greedy for money and likes the world's treasures, but for people, it is said that he can also be a corporal of Lixian, coupled with the favor of the Son of Heaven for him, this prince is a powerful man in the court......

Hearing this, Zhang Chun couldn't help but ask: "How can such a big man regard that Kong Jian as a confidant?" Did you make money? ”

The Marquis of Luyang shook his head and said: "Kong Jian had no money around him at that time, otherwise he wouldn't have said that he was down-and-out on the street...... After a pause, he added: "This person is not without talent, he is talented but not virtuous." ”

"There are not many such people in the world, but some can restrain their greed, while others can't, this Kong Jian is obviously the latter." Shaking his head, Liu Jian guessed again: "This Kong Jian claims to be Wang Ying's henchman, let's believe half of this, there are many people in the world who claim to be Wang Taishi's disciples and henchmen, but how many can be close to the faction?" According to my guess, it was probably this Kong Jian who recommended himself to Wang Ying, saying that he had the ability to restore the county governance of Nanyang County, and Wang Ying believed his words and sent him to ......"

"The dignified position of the county is so arbitrary?" Cao Ju's eyes widened in disbelief.

Unlike the three of Luyang Xianghou, Cao Ju, and Zhang Chun, Liu Jian has really seen the world, and explained with a smile when he heard this: "This is probably the case in the royal capital. …… As long as you have the way to meet the big names, you have a chance to rise to the top. Can all those who are officials be superior? It's not, it's just that most people don't have that opportunity. Just like the township, the talent of the township, Liu thought that it was more than enough to manage a large county, maybe even the county guard could be competent, but above the temple, no one knew the talent of the township, and the hometown Hou was buried here. ”

The three of Luyang Xianghou, Cao Ju, and Zhang Chun glanced at each other, and they all felt very incredible.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Liu Jian knew that his words must have had a great impact on them, so he smiled and stopped continuing, and brought the topic back to that Kong Jian: "Regarding that Kong Jian, there is no need to worry for the time being, the county governance of Nanyang County has basically collapsed at present, although he has a reputation and real power, but there is no one in his hands, and he should not be able to retaliate against the townsman in a short time." ”

"Won't the prince send someone to help Kong Jian?" The Marquis of Luyang asked in surprise.

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head: "The way those big people do things, Liu probably understands: I give you a chance, if you do a good job, then I can admit that you are from my side; Otherwise, then I will replace it with someone more capable. Therefore, the townsman does not have to worry too much, for characters such as Wang Taishi, this Kong Jian is just a chess piece that can be discarded at will, and there are many such chess pieces on Wang Taishi's chessboard. …… Not to mention that Wang Taishi will not help Kong Jian, even if Kong Jian is defeated in the hands of the townsman again, most of the princes will not say anything, and maybe they will be a little interested in the townspeople, and even let the townsmen be officials. ”

"Xiaohou doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes."

The Marquis of Luyang shook his head, and then asked again: "That...... What about General Wang Shangde, who was stationed in Wancheng? Will he help Kong Jian? ”

Liu Jian stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "Compared with Kong Jian, Wang Shangde should be the pro-branch of Wang Taishi, to put it mildly, this Kong Jian is going to clean up the mess for Wang Shangde." What Wang Shangde wants is money and food, if Kong Jian can do it for him, Wang Shangde may still listen to him, otherwise, hehe. ”

Hearing this, Luyang Township Marquis Zhengse said: "That's what I'm worried about. …… Liu Gong, don't forget, I, Luyang, now have money and food. ”

Liu Wei was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood what the Luyang townsman meant, and asked with a frown: "What does the townsman mean, then Kong Jian may report to Wang Shangde about the situation in my Luyang County, and instigate Wang Shangde to collect money and grain in my Luyang County?" ”

"This is the reason why I am in a hurry to invite Liu Gong to come and discuss." The Luyang townsman sighed, shook his head and said: "How can I say that I am also a townsman, then Kong Jian does not dare to deal with me with great fanfare, but I am afraid that he will be angry with me Luyang County, if because of my relationship, let me Luyang County suffer a huge loss, I ...... I ......"

Looking at the Luyang townsman who blamed himself, Liu Wei hurriedly persuaded him: "The townsman doesn't need to blame himself, this matter has nothing to do with the townsman......

At this moment, a faint sound came from outside the study, which attracted the attention of Wei Chang Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun turned his head to look at the window, and saw that there were faint heads surging on the window paper, as if someone was eavesdropping, and he was a little suspicious in his heart.

You must know that he has already arranged guards outside the house, how can there be anyone eavesdropping?

"Wait, it's really not impossible......

A thought flashed in his heart, Zhang Chun stood up quietly, walked silently to the door under the puzzled eyes of the other three people in the room, and immediately opened the door suddenly, and took a step out.

Sure enough, he saw Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng eavesdropping outside the house.

And behind these five people, there were several guards in the mansion with helpless expressions.

Immediately, Zhang Chun glared at Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng fiercely, and the two of them subconsciously shrank their necks.

"Uncle Chun." Zhang Ji whispered.

If you want to say which of the five of them is the most panicked at the moment, it is undoubtedly Zhang Ji, after all, Zhang Chun is his cousin, and this cousin is stricter to him than anyone else.

At this time, the house also understood what was happening, and the Marquis of Luyang walked to the door of the study with a calm face, looked at Zhao Yu and the others, and asked in a deep voice: "Yu'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Yu was not stunned, and said with a smile: "The child also came up with an idea for the matter of Kong Jian, but a few guards outside the house did not allow me to break in, so I ......" He spread his hands.

The townsman of Luyang wanted to say something more, but at this time, he heard Liu Wei say with a smile in the house: "Why is the townsman so strict with the second son? The second son, if you don't dislike it, you might as well sit at the same table with Liu. ”

"The elder's life, I dare not resign." Zhao Yu slipped into the house from his father without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jingnu met the gaze of the Luyang townsman and said timidly: "The husband and wife have a life, and the slave is ordered to take care of the young master anytime and anywhere......"

With that, she slipped into the house.

Then came Cao An.

Only Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng were honest, and they didn't dare to move under the gaze of the Luyang townsman and Zhang Chun.

"Not clever enough! …… You two should stay outside the house first. Zhang Chun shook his head and slammed the door shut.

Looking at the closed study door, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng looked at each other.
