After saying the three things, Gongsun Jian waved his hand and signaled that Liu Dayuan could go on his own. But Liu Dayuan had no intention of leaving, and still stood aside with his hands down. Qi Shi coughed, don't turn his head and lower his voice and said to Gongsun Jian: "My lord, now that Liu Xianling has no one under his command, how can you let him go back and do something?" ”

"Oh!" Gongsun Jian then understood why Liu Dayuan was still standing and not leaving. So Qi Shi said: "Old Qi, you have also been on an errand in the county government for many days, and you know a lot of things." It's better for you to continue with this county lieutenant. The original ones that can be used are also kept, and some are temporarily recruited if there are not enough people, and we will pay them anyway. In addition, that Zhao Changle, the young man is very clever, and you can have a helper with you. There is also a coolie named Zhao Sihai, who was originally a coolie at the dock, I think he is a good person, and it is said that there is still some prestige in the coolies in the area of Ximen. You can also use it. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." After speaking, Qi Shi gave Gongsun Jian a salute and followed Liu Dayuan to leave, to deal with the things that Gongsun Jian had just explained.

As soon as Qi Shi left, Ding Feng rode back on horseback. There were also two bloody human heads in his hands, and there was no need to ask if they were the two officers.

Before Ding Feng could speak triumphantly, Gongsun Jian said to Ma Teng with a gloomy face: "Old Ma, I think he should still be beaten ten boards, otherwise I am afraid that he will not have a long memory in the future." ”

"Ugh." Ma Teng nodded in agreement. Rushing to the side of Xie Wu to make a look, the two of them didn't say a word, and suddenly made a move towards Ding Feng, who came over, and pressed him to the ground in one fell swoop.

"Old Ma, Old Xie. What are you two bastards doing. My lord, look at it! Ding Feng lay on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Old horse, you tell him the rules when you fight." After Gongsun Jian finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking at Ding Feng. Wei Meng smiled at Ding Feng, and left after Gongsun Jian. Ding Feng was confused, and he didn't know where he had made a mistake.

When Gongsun Jian walked away, Ma Teng took out his sheathed waist knife and said to Ding Feng on the ground with a smile: "Old Ding, you can laugh secretly." My lord values you. When I look back, remember that when I'm done fighting, you will personally kowtow to the adults to thank you. After speaking, the waist knife in his hand slammed into Ding Feng's buttocks.

After hitting him ten times, Ma Teng stopped, and Xie Wu helped Ding Feng up from the ground left and right, and explained the reason to Ding Feng in a low voice, but it made Ding Feng even more confused. Didn't you say in advance that you couldn't chase each other?

"Stupid." Ma Teng scolded Ding Feng, who was stunned: "Ding Feng, don't you see that the adults are preparing to cultivate you?" Otherwise, you, a big soldier, need to understand how to be a good officer, how to command the team, and what to do? In my opinion, our adults have great ambitions. I'm afraid that the events of the past few days were not unplanned, but he did it on purpose. ”

"Old Ma, what do you mean ......" Xie Wu next to him asked Ma Teng, but he stopped halfway through his words.

Ma Teng looked at Ding Fenghe, who was still stunned, and was looking at Xie Wu, who was looking at him, shook his head and said in a low voice: "Hehe, maybe I'm guessing." But since my old horse has decided to follow the adults, then I can only take one step at a time. ”

Xie Wu didn't squeak when he heard this, but nodded thoughtfully. Ding Feng pouted: "No matter what the adults are going to do, I, Ding Feng, am determined anyway." It's a pity that the credit this time is gone, it's tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if I divide the small head, at least there are thousands of taels. Ay...... I can only wait for the next time to follow the adults to do a vote. ”

"Smack!" Before Ding Feng finished speaking, Ma Teng slapped him on the head and scolded angrily: "I think you are a nerd like Wei Meng." What about another vote? Not to mention this, if our lord is preparing to rebel, is it possible that you are also ready to follow? ”

"Shh Ding Feng glanced at Ma Teng,

"What's wrong with the rebellion? Don't say it, if the adults really rebel, I, Ding Feng, will definitely follow. Maybe when we really become emperors, then I, Ding Feng, will at least be the founding father. At that time, it will not be endless glory and wealth. ”

"Hemp eggs. If you really want to become an emperor, it will be different again. You don't remember what we heard when we went to the capital. Isn't that adult's public family the founding father of our Zhou Kingdom, but now? Although it is also in a high position, it has been suppressed everywhere. Otherwise, the adults would not have tried their best to bring us here from Shangjing. Do you really think that adults will be stupid enough to let the good young master not do it, and willingly come here to be a little Jiupin County Lieutenant? ”

"Old horse, don't be nonsense." Ding Feng immediately stopped doing it when he heard this, blushed and pointed at Ma Teng and scolded: "Why do you think people have so many dirty things hidden in their hearts like your old horse!" Adults will never do that kind of thing as unloading the mill and killing a donkey. Don't ask me why, I don't think we're adults like that. You can understand by looking at his attitude towards Nan Nan and us, who would treat a girl as a treasure? ”

"Hmm. I think what Lao Ding said makes sense. Xie Wu on the side agreed: "Although I came late, I haven't known adults for a long time. But I could tell he was sincere with the big guys. Don't say it's the girl, it's the children in the stone alley, one by one, who have nothing to do with him. Not only did he teach the children to read and write, but he also taught arithmetic himself. Not to mention the two meals that are provided for free every day. I guess that even those big and good people in the capital will definitely not be able to do this for our adults. ”

Hearing what Ding Feng and Xie Wu said, Ma Teng touched his chin and fell silent. After a long time, he looked at the two of them and asked, "If you say so, if the adult really wants to rebel, we will all follow?" ”

"Well, anyway, I'm sure Ding Feng will follow the adult to the death."

"What about you? Xie Lao Wu. Seeing that Xie Wu didn't answer, Ma Teng asked a little hurriedly.

But Xie Wu still didn't answer him, just nodded slightly. Seeing this scene, Ma Teng slapped his thigh and said fiercely: "That's it, my old horse will also accompany you to go crazy." ”

"Hey, hey. Old horse, what you say is the same as the truth. Are you sure that our adults are really preparing to rebel? Ding Feng sneered. Ma Teng ignored him, but looked at Linshui County, not far away, his lips moved slightly, as if he was silently muttering something.

Putting aside the three of them and Gongsun Jian, who had already returned to the city, did not mention it for the time being, Qi Shi followed the county commander Liu Dayuan to get busy. On the one hand, he sent people to post notices everywhere to calm the people's minds, and by the way, he maintained law and order in the county town to prevent people from taking the opportunity to make trouble. On the other hand, he led people to check the Chu and Shen families. In addition, someone will help to count the merits of the battle out of the city today and give out rewards. The whole thing is that my busy feet don't touch the ground, and I can't wait to split it in half by one person for two people. Because the county government has insufficient manpower, some of them are the original people from several major families, county officials and the main bookkeeper, even if they are willing to help, Liu Dayuan does not dare to use it. In the end, there was no way, Liu Daxian not only went into battle to do the book office himself, but even called out his daughter, who could write and calculate, to help settle the accounts and register.

Fortunately, Gongsun Jian also thought of this after he went back, and asked the gentleman who taught Gongyu Wu and their children on weekdays to find a few scholars from the county who could write and calculate to help the county government. Mr. Jiaoshu remembered that Gongsun Jian could also be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, and now he also knew that the other party was the county lieutenant of this county, so he naturally agreed. And after hearing this, Gongyu Wu also took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that she could also help, at least in terms of accounting, except for Gongsun Jian, no one in this Linshui County can be her opponent.

Gongsun Jian did not oppose this, on the contrary, he was extremely in favor. So he sent Wei Meng to go with him, mainly for the sake of the little girl's safety. He himself was left alone at home, cleaned up and scrubbed a little, changed his dusty clothes, and then boiled a pot of boiling water and made himself a pot of tea. took a rocking chair specially made by the carpenter at the door, and sat quietly in the small courtyard thinking about his thoughts.

What's next? And for Lao Qi and Lao Ma, how should I explain it? Will they be willing to follow them again?

This day is destined not to be peaceful, and the various deeds of the day are already known to everyone inside and outside the county. For a while, every family felt that Linshui County, which had always been peaceful, had suddenly changed. Big families hid at home and didn't dare to go out, for fear that if they didn't get it right, they would be like the Chen family. The small households are purely out of curiosity, and it may not be possible to say that they are not afraid, after all, in one day and one night, the largest families in the county are all unlucky, and I heard that there is a big battle outside the city and many people die.

But in addition to these, there is still a good side. It's just that those who followed Gongsun Jian and others out of the city to meet the battle waited for a lot of rewards. One by one, they came home with a smile on their faces, and kept telling their somewhat fantastic experiences. At the same time, he also praised the new county lieutenant to the sky.

Not for anything else, because everyone thinks that Linshui County is finally going to change. It is not known in what direction it will develop in the future, at least for now, the family will not have to suffer from poverty for a few months. The human heart is sometimes like this, as long as it is not you who is unlucky to die, but you can get the benefits.

I was busy until almost midnight, and Linshui County, which had been noisy for a day, was quiet. When it was almost the fourth watch, Gongsun Jian and others gathered in the second hall of the county government.

Why isn't it in Gongsun Jian's courtyard? Because the place is not big enough, and it is also a little informal. Gongsun Jian deliberately chose the location of the meeting here. The goal is to talk openly and honestly with everyone.

The events of the past two or three days, coupled with the fact that he had been thinking about it in the small courtyard for a long time in the afternoon, finally made Gongsun Jian make up his mind. Although some things and words do not necessarily need to be said so thoroughly, some issues still need to be explained clearly, lest these people who follow them run away halfway or turn their backs on themselves, which will outweigh the losses.

Above the second hall of the county government, Gongsun Jian and the county commander Liu Dayuan sat side by side, but Gongsun Jian sat on the main seat of his left hand. With just one change in position, it can be seen who has the final say in Linshui County at the moment, and it can also show that the county commander Liu Dayuan has made up his mind to get on the thief ship of the Seventh Master.

I looked at the people who were a little tired on their faces, but they were all in good spirits. Gongsun Jian sank slightly, constantly organizing the words in his mind, and he knew that what he was going to say next would have the potential to change the lives of himself and the people in front of him. So he has to be careful.

"Ladies and gentlemen." After a long time, Gongsun Jian finally spoke,

"Except for a few Liu County Commanders here, they are all brothers who have been following my father-in-law and the former Northern Army Robes. That's why I won't say those official words. So let's talk about everything we can put on the table tonight, and whatever the outcome is, I think we can at least lay a good foundation for the future. After speaking, Gongsun Jian looked at everyone.

"Your Excellency, you have something to say. Anyway, I listen to you. As soon as Gongsun Jian's words fell, Ding Feng rushed to be the first to take the stubble. didn't take the matter of being beaten ten times today to heart at all, obviously this was a statement to Gongsun Jian. Ma Teng, who was sitting on the side, pursed his lips and said in his heart, this old man is not stupid at all!
