Kou Ji and Cao Tong were very happy, but Liu Heng pouted and muttered, "You two are good, but now you have great power, but you have suffered me, and there is no progress so far." The gang of people under my command is a stick and mallet. After being in the yamen of the Criminal Department for so long, there was no movement at all, not only did he not snatch power from others, but he was called around by others. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji and Cao Tong shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Most of the people under Kou Ji and Cao Tong are scholars, and they learn government affairs quickly.

Coupled with the help of Kou Ji and Cao Tong, the seizure of power is naturally fast.

The people in Liu Heng's hands are mostly gangsters with green skins, and there are not many literate people, and when they meet the little officials in the yamen, they are as well-behaved as rats seeing cats.

Let a bunch of rats take power from the cat?

Pure wishful thinking.

It's not that Liu's mansion didn't take in scholars.

Liu Mei was not from a good background, although he was literate and hyphenated, but his knowledge was limited, in order to make up for his shortcomings, he recruited a lot of readers.

He even built a courtyard in the house for those who read to study and study.

Therefore, there are many people who read in Liu's house.

But Liu Mei didn't send any of them to Liu Heng.

Liu Mei did not allow Liu Heng to go out, so naturally she would not give him support, and it was impossible to transfer the scholars in the house to him.

looked at Liu Heng with a look of grievance.

Kou Ji and Cao Tong glanced at each other and smiled.

Cao Tong arched his hand, "I'll deal with government affairs first, you can talk." ”

As soon as Cao Tong left, Kou Ji came to Liu Heng, "I'll go to your father again?" ”

Liu Heng nodded first, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "Can it be done?" Will my dad say yes? ”

Kou Ji smiled heartily: "I've already talked to your father once, and I don't care about one more time." ”

Liu Heng threw down the wine bottle, got up and saluted Kou Ji, "Thank you, fourth brother......

Kou Ji patted Liu Heng on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

Kou Ji left Liu Heng to stay in the public room, he left the public house, went to the main hall, and explained to his subordinates, and took care of the government affairs of the Criminal Division.

Subsequently, he left the Criminal Division, sat in a sedan chair, and went around to the wine shop where he met Liu Mei at the beginning.

He still asked for a few dishes, two jugs of wine, and sat down and poured himself a drink.

The street outside the wine store is the only way for Liu Mei to return home every day.

Kou Ji is confident that he can wait for Liu Mei here.

Really.

It didn't take long to see Liu Mei straddle the horse and slowly walk over.

Kou Ji threw a few big bucks to the second child of the wine shop as usual, and asked the second child of the wine store to invite Liu Mei in.

Xiao Er took the money, got out of the wine shop, came to the side of Liu's family general, stretched his neck and muttered a few words to Liu Mei on horseback.

Liu Mei jumped off the horse and followed Xiao Er into the wine shop.

This time, he was not as domineering as the last time, and he didn't let the generals disperse everyone after entering the wine shop.

Liu Mei blackened her face, walked to Kou Ji's side, shook the horsewhip casually, and sat opposite Kou Ji.

"Boy, you've been looking for me again and again, are you bothered?"

Kou Ji arched his hand, "I've seen Uncle Liu......"

"Humph......"

Liu Mei snorted coldly and raised her head, unwilling to deal with him.

After the ceremony, Kou Ji poured wine for Liu Mei and said with an indifferent smile: "I don't want to find Uncle Liu either, as long as Uncle Liu agrees to Liu Heng's appearance, the kid will definitely not bother you again in the future." ”

Liu Mei lowered her head, glanced at Kou Ji, and said coldly: "I still say the same thing, I won't let San Lang come out." ”

Kou Ji seemed to have expected Liu Mei to give such an answer, so when Liu Mei said this, the expression on Kou Ji's face was very natural.

He picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said to Liu Mei: "Uncle Liu can taste this wine, it tastes good." ”

Liu Mei frowned, and didn't touch the wine on the table, "Boy, is there anything else?" If not, I'll be going home. I have a lot of business to attend to every day, and I am not as idle as you. ”

Kou Ji put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Liu Mei, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Uncle is unwilling to let Liu Heng go out of office, is he afraid that the queen will be displeased?" ”

Liu Meiluo stood up suddenly, stared at the beads of her eyes, and shouted: "Nonsense! ”

Seeing this, the corners of Kou Ji's mouth hooked up with a smile.

It seems that he touched Liu Mei's heart, otherwise Liu Mei would not have had such a big reaction.

Kou Ji was not afraid of Liu Mei's scolding, he stared at Liu Mei, and said with a smile: "The kid just said casually, why did my uncle react so much?" ”

Liu Mei glared at Kou Ji, gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know that if you say something casually, it may bring great trouble to others." ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The kid is not so capable......"

Liu Mei sat down, threw away the horsewhip in her hand, stared at Kou Ji and snorted coldly: "It was because of your words that hundreds of officials were beheaded all over the house. You're embarrassed to say that you don't have that much ability.

In my eyes, you're very capable. ”

Liu Mei's last sentence was full of sarcasm.

Kou Jiba clicked his mouth and said with emotion: "They were beheaded all over the house, purely because they took the blame and had nothing to do with me. Uncle can't blame me for their deaths.

If they were right, how could they be put to death for a few words? ”

Liu Mei felt that she couldn't fight with Kou Ji, so she brutally swept the wine glass in front of her aside, and snorted: "Whether they are to blame or not, I don't care." But I don't want to see that because of your nonsense, let my Liu Mansion suffer. ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said sincerely: "Whether the kid is talking nonsense or not, you know it in your heart." The kid thought about it carefully, and always felt that the things you were afraid of were a bit redundant. ”

"I'm not scared ......"

Liu Mei glared and said.

Kou Ji smiled: "Then why don't you let Liu Heng come out?" ”

Liu Mei opened her mouth and was about to speak.

But I heard Kou Ji say again: "The kid doesn't know what you're afraid of, but the kid knows that Liu Heng will come out sooner or later." You can stop him for a while, but you can't stop him for a lifetime.

When he reached his age, he had to find an errand to do.

In his capacity, it is impossible to go into business, and it is impossible to be a peddler.

The only thing he can do is to be an official. ”

Liu Mei pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "I can raise him for a lifetime." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he smiled and said, "Uncle can really support him for a lifetime?" ”

Liu Mei was stunned, pursed her lips, and didn't speak again.

What he said just now was a bit angry.

Liu Heng is nearly twenty years younger than him.

As long as nothing else, he will definitely live longer than him.

It is impossible for him to raise Liu Heng for a lifetime.

Seeing that Liu Mei was silent, Kou Ji continued while the iron was hot: "You know better than me what the relationship between the three brothers is. To put it irreverently, when you are gone, if Liu Heng does not have an official position, how can he gain a foothold in the Liu Mansion?

Even if you leave him a great fortune, will he be able to keep it? ”
