"Old man? How are you? ”

For several days in a row, in addition to drinking, acting Lixin, and wooing Ruo Neng, he was not very tired, but also a little tired, after sending Lu Shuihu's chieftains back, Xin Er was just about to take a rest, and heard the subordinates report that the new county lieutenant had arrived.

Xin Er wondered in his heart, according to the rule system, usually there is a royal order first, and then the officials of the local county will arrive, and now there is no royal order to arrive, how can there be a new lieutenant to take office?

went out to the door of the house, but saw that the person who came was Fu Qiao.

Fu Qiao's expression was complicated, and he looked at it for a long time, and said, "Young book, thank you for saving your life!" ”

Xin Er was taken aback, and said in her heart: "When did I save you?" He lifted him up and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Fu Qiao came suddenly, he didn't report in advance, he didn't have time to prepare, and there were not many county officials who followed Xin Er to greet him, only a few officials who accompanied him every day, such as Gong Cao Shiliang and the new post supervisor Huang Rong.

But Fu Qiao has a high reputation in the country that is good at talking, and when he heard that he was appointed as a county lieutenant, he arrived in the mansion, and the county officials who heard the news wanted to see his demeanor, so they rushed to participate in the greeting procession.

It was lively outside the county hall, and after a while, dozens of people gathered.

Outside the house is not a place to talk.

The two of them entered the house, did not go to the court, entered the side room, and ordered the officials to retreat.

The only ones left in the room were the two of them.

Fu Qiao replied with a sad face: "Young man, I have offended the king!" ”

"Huh? What have you done? ”

"I heard that the king wants to 'collect Hu Tun herd'."

Xin Er suddenly understood and said, "Have you stopped writing a book?" ”

Fu Qiao raised his right hand, gently slapped his mouth, regretted it, and said, "How dare I advise the decision made by the king?" But it's cheap! On that day, after drinking, I had a conversation with three or five friends, and I didn't know what evil I had fallen into, but I made irresponsible remarks about the king's holy judgment. Alas, knowing people and faces but not hearts. I don't know who was present to the king. The king was angry and dismissed my officials. ”

Linghu was called the queen, and Koji Shuo was the marquis; promoted Cao Fei as the leader of the central government; Bai Xin Er is the governor, the general Yingyang, and the Jiankang Taishou; Ren Jia Zhen and Fu Qiao are engaged in the state government, and each has a Cao. The government affairs of Dingxi are in charge of the state government, and the state capital's Zhu Cao is engaged in it, which is slightly equivalent to the "Six Cao Shangshu" of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, with low rank and great power.

Although Linghu Feng despised Fu Qiao and often found fault with him when he was in Zebian, it was far less important than paying attention to Xin Er and Cao Fei, but when he was rewarding his merits, he said that it was for others to see, and it was said that he was reminded of his hard work in communicating with Koji Shuo twice, and in the end he was given a prominent official.

Unexpectedly, the butt was not yet hot, and it was only a month or two before he was told because of "private criticism", and he was beaten by a derelict chicken.

"Old man, 'dangerous words and deeds', this is what you told me, why did you forget it yourself?"

"Don't mention it. …… The king was going to put me in prison for punishment. ”

Xin Er was startled and said, "To prison? "Xin Dao, "The old man has also suffered with him, just because of a few words, the dismissal is not counted, do you still have to go to prison for punishment?" ”

"Fortunately, your letter was delivered to the royal capital at this time, and Ziming also sent me a letter to intercede, so the king changed his mind and appointed me as the lieutenant of Jiankang County. So I thank you for saving your life! ”

Xin Er didn't understand Ling Hufeng's brain circuit, and said in his heart: "I was going to punish the crime, why did I read my book, but instead I gave him the official and asked him to come to my county to be a county lieutenant?" ”

Fu Qiao's sad expression became heavier, and he said: "The king asked me to help you collect the beard, so that the eunuch reprimanded me and said, 'Temporarily store your head to see the after-effects.'" Let's go to Jiankang, help Agua collect Hu, if nothing happens, don't wait for my soldiers, cut off my head to sacrifice! ’”

Xin Er smiled in surprise and said in her heart: "I see! …… It is the style of Linghu Feng. If you oppose the collection of Hu, Lao Tzu will send you to do this, if you do it well, if you do it well, if you don't do it, you will cut off your head. Now that he understood why Linghu Feng sent Fu Qiao to be the county lieutenant, seeing that he was worried, he comforted him and said, "Old Fu, don't worry. With me, I'll be able to save your head. ”

Fu Qiao asked, "When I entered the city just now, I saw more than 100 Hu people. Young book, is it Lu Shuihu's person? ”

"You're two days late. If you can arrive two days earlier, you can still meet with Lu Shuihu's chieftains. Old man, I want to teach you to know: I have already started to work on the matter of collecting beard. Xin Er knew in detail about "sending beggars vigorously, bald Lian Fan into Hu Zhong to lure propaganda", "wooing and pulling out the canal" and so on, and Fu Qiao knew in detail.

Fu Qiao went out, took out a box from the ox cart, came back and handed it to Xin Er, and said, "This is the king's order for you." ”

There is a wax seal on the outside of the box, and when it is opened, it is a roll of silk cloth. Xin Er took it out and watched, and Ling Hufeng's palindrome was simple, three or two lines, not only agreeing to his application for "500,000 mu of pasture", but also increasing "500,000 mu" to "1 million mu".

Raising his eyes to look at Fu Qiao, who was frowning, and looking down at the words "Heqing million acres", Xin Er only felt that this light and fluttering silk cloth was heavy in his hand.

From what happened to Fu Qiao, he thought of himself. Useless people are worthless to Ling Hufeng, he will not remember any hardships, although he reuses himself now, but if the matter of collecting Hu is not done well, coupled with Jia Zhen's slander, he may turn his face quickly.

The county lieutenant, the county lord and the county magistrate are the "order officials", each with a public mansion and a mansion.

Xin Er put away the order and said, "Old Master, you go to the county governor's mansion to settle down first, and I will set up a banquet for you tonight." Asked Fu Qiao, "Jun Cheng's name is Song Pian, do you know him?" ”

mentioned Song Pian, and the order became even heavier.

The county is already an incapable person, and Linghu Feng sent Fu Qiao to be the county lieutenant, which is also an incapable person. Just said to Fu Qiao, "I will be able to save your head", thinking about the two "right-hand men" under him, Xin Er couldn't help but feel uncertain again.

Fu Qiao didn't know that in the blink of an eye, Xin Er had lost two points of confidence in "saving his head", and said, "Okay." He replied, "Is Song virtuous?" I've seen it a few times in the past, but I'm not very familiar with it. ”

Gossiping, the two went outside.

Xin Er wondered why Fu Qiao said "life-saving grace", so as soon as he arrived at the house, he invited him to the side room to talk, and did not arrange his slaves and maids. Seeing the two of them return to the mansion gate, Fu Qiao's seven or eight slaves and maids bowed down to the ox cart.

Fu Qiao's ox cart is not in vain, it is really a village cow that pulls the cart. Ox cart this thing, this humble person uses, the end of the previous dynasty to the present, because of its comfort, gradually won the love of scholars, so far to be popular in the north and south, scholars all take the ox as elegant.

There are many slaves and maids in the Luo Bai cow room, only two big slaves, and the rest are maids, and the little green that Zebian has seen is in the middle. There was one of them, who was slender, fair-skinned and beautiful, and had a different accent when he saluted.

Fu Qiao has the disease of being a widow, and the reason why he attached his ministers to Linghu Feng earlier was because he coveted Linghu's reward for his beautiful maids; On the day of the crisis on the border of Ze, the secret envoy Tang Xing asked for Xiaolu from Koji Shuo with a cheeky face; After returning to the royal capital, his clan family, like Xin'er, was killed by Linghu Yong, lonely, more and more from the wine to find solace, wantonly to buy beautiful maids, these number of maids, all received in the near month.

The one with a different accent is a rare Goguryeo maid in Longdi, who can sing and dance, is gentle and well-behaved, and has replaced Xiao Lu and has become his favorite.

Noticing Xin Er's attention to her, Fu Qiao said in his heart: "The king except me is the county lieutenant of Jiankang, and threatens me with the collection of hu, but I don't know how to use the army, I'm afraid this county lieutenant will not be good." Fortunately, the young man still misses the old love, whether he can succeed in collecting the beard, and whether my head is protected, it all depends on him in the future. ”

Knowing his own life, he tied it to Xin Er's hands.

For the sake of his head, he gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision, and said to Xin Er: "There are many servants in Longdi and the Western Regions, but there are few women in Goguryeo. Ming Gong, this is the Goguryeo maid, I bought it with a lot of money, and she is good at singing and dancing. ”

The mouth pretends to be generous, but the eyes are reluctant.

Xin Er smiled and said: "What you like, can you win love?" ”

Fu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Send Fu Qiao and his party out of the house.

Xin Er stood at the gate of the mansion and watched them go away.

The officials of the three or four county mansions rushed close on their horses and asked, "But is Fu engaged?" A light car rushed behind, and one of them grabbed the side railing, leaned forward, and shouted: "Fu Gong, Fu Gong, and slow down, wait for me for a while!" "It's Jun Cheng Song Pian.

Xin Er is inexplicable, I don't know why this Lord Song, who has only been "sick and bedridden" as an excuse for a few days, has not been summoned for several times, but he really thinks that Hu people are "fishy" and does not want to deal with him, why did he appear here and now, as if he had burned his buttocks, and was in a hurry to catch up with Fu Qiao?

He said in his heart: "Are you looking for the old man to share the welcome money?" Then he thought again, "No, when the old man arrived at the house, he didn't report it in advance, and the county government didn't give the welcome money." Simply stand still and see what Song Pian is going to do.

Fu Qiao stopped the ox cart and waited for Song Pian to catch up.

Song Pian rolled down the car, walked quickly to the ox cart, and said, "Fu Gong! Fu Gong! Why don't you send someone to report it first? I'm also good to go out to the suburbs! Oh, Fu Gong, the former Taishou Zhang Gong moved to the official position, two months ago, I talked about no one, no companion, and my life was really boring. Today, listening to the children's sudden report that the public is coming, I am like hearing Shao Le! ”

He ordered the king of the ox cart to turn around, invited Fu Qiao to his house, and said, "I have prepared a meal, and I dare to ask for the dust to be washed for the public." And wait for a little heart, sit down and speak clearly, are you happy? The sheng hooves have been set, and the tail of the 麈 (zhu) is hanging high, waiting for the public to wave! ”

The sheng hoof is a tall seat made of rattan or straw, shaped like a long girdle. The deer is a large deer that walks with a herd of deer, and its tail swings to direct the direction of the deer; The "tail" is taken from this, covered with the meaning of the leader, and its shape is like a leaf, like a fan rather than a fan.

These two things are the must-hold tools for the corporal and the doctor to talk about it.

Xin Er witnessed this scene, listened to his words, and said in his heart: "You dog's day! When the former Taishou didn't leave, Lao Tzu came to take office, you fucking 'talk about no one', isn't Lao Tzu a person? Don't you look down on Lao Tzu? He scolded Song Pian in his heart, but he knew that he did lack it in his own family, after all, he didn't dare to step forward to "theory", he was just stupid.

Several cars drove along the road.

The car was loaded with Zhang Daojiang, the chief bookkeeper of Xiu Mu's home, and several county gentry who lived in the city. Needless to say, they must have heard that Fu Qiao had come to the county and welcomed them one after another. Everyone rushed to invite Fu Qiao to their home, and the dispute was endless, so that their faces were red.

Looking at Fu Qiao, who was standing in the crowd, Xin Er said in his heart: "The old man's reputation is quite big." ”

Think about it too.

If Fu Qiao didn't have a unique place, Ling Hu Feng would not have made him a subordinate of the Fuping Mansion back then.

Xin Er corrected his useless evaluation, and thought: "Although the old man has no ability to deal with practical matters, with his reputation, it is expected that I will be able to deal with the people in the county much easier in the future." ”

At present, cultural knowledge is in the hands of a small number of people, and the Gaomen valve clan has a "family law" inheritance that specializes in studying some kind of classics, because most of the scholars in the county have been scholarly for generations, have a family history, or are good at Qing discussion, or export into chapters, citing scriptures.

When Xin Er usually deals with them, it doesn't hurt to be ordinary, but when he encounters those who are highly educated, he is often unable to do it, and with Fu Qiao's help in the future, it is estimated that the situation will be much better.

This is exactly what it means: even hand paper has its use, let alone people? There are no useless people, just see if you can put it in the right place.

Fu Qiao went to the county for a few days, up to the county Cheng Song Pian, down to the local shishu, and asked for countless people.

Four days later, Bald Lian Fan returned in embarrassment.
