"Didn't San Lang see Yuan Tuiguan today?" Seeing Sun Tu come back with a stupid look, Yang Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

This is the third day after the few of them came to Jiangzhou, but Sun Tu still hasn't been able to see his direct boss Yuan Wang, who is often blocked in front of the state government for various reasons, and he can't even enter the yamen, which makes Lu Dadu, who accompanied him, already have a lot of complaints: "This Yuan Wang is really a big shelf, knowing that San Lang is here by the order of the imperial court, he has been avoiding it, and I don't know what the reason is." ”

Although Sun Tu's expression was unhappy, he had not lost his mind because of this, but said with a wry smile: "I have received some news from other messengers, it turns out that Yuan Tuiguan has always looked down on us and other military attachés, plus we are arranged by Taishi Cai and them to Jiangzhou, he naturally wants to give us a dismount." ”

"This is the reason why the Sprinkle family doesn't like to be officials, those who are officials have too many twists and turns, and they often hide deep meanings in their words and deeds, which makes people feel uneasy." Luda snorted, and then said, "San Lang, what do you say we should do next, are you just dragging it out?" If this gets the word out, your prestige in the army will be ruined. ”

This is also what Sun Tu is worried about, the other party is putting up a fight, and it is nothing to forgive himself, I am afraid that Yuan Wang will also make people spread the inside information about suppressing him, and the problem will be serious. After all, strength has always been respected in the army, and if you let your subordinates in the future look down on you, it will be a little difficult to get them to follow orders.

Yang Zhi also nodded thoughtfully: "San Lang, I think it's better to bypass that Yuan Tuiguan directly and go to see Cai Taishou first?" Although the magistrate is indeed in charge of the prison and military affairs, as long as he nods too carefully, it will be difficult for him to stop him, right? ”

These words immediately reminded Luda, and he immediately answered: "Since you can go and see Cai Taishou first?" Then why do you have to wronged yourself and use a hot face to stick to him Yuan someone's cold fart-stock. ”

Sun Tu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Although this is feasible, it will break the rules of officialdom after all, so that I will really make an enmity with that Yuan Wang, and it will also make me directly brand the mark of Cai Taishou's party, which is really not what I want to see." In the city of Tokyo, he dared to give it a go because he had the confidence, and there was such a big backer as Tong Guan, but in Jiangzhou, where people and land are born, he didn't have the courage to do so, especially because he would be completely beaten into Cai Jing's party, which was really not what he was happy to see.

When Luda heard this, he felt even more irritable, so he simply took the wine bowl and poured a few sips: "It's really troublesome, it's better to listen to your wishes, so don't think about it." Anyway, we have rented this house now, at least we don't have to worry about making a living. ”

In the past two days, in addition to going to the state government to see Yuan Wang, Sun Tu also rented this large courtyard with a local dental store, which is enough for more than a dozen people to live in. Don't look at the fact that this house is more than twice as big as the house in Tokyo City, but the annual rent is only 70% of the house in Tokyo City, which is really good quality and cheap, which is enough to reflect the gap between Jiangzhou and Tokyo City.

In fact, Sun Tu also regretted it in his heart at this time, if he had known that Yuan Wang was such a plan, he should have gone to see Cai Taishou earlier, so that even if he offended Yuan Tuiguan, it would not be too much of a problem. But after the delay in the past two days, it is not good for him to visit Cai Taishou again at this time, otherwise the other party will also have an opinion in his heart, thinking that he is just a second-best choice, but he will also offend him.

So at this time, Sun Tu had fallen into a dilemma, and the only thing he could do was to continue to wait patiently.

But just when they were holding back their dissatisfaction and were about to prepare to eat, the courtyard door was suddenly slammed, and then a voice came: "Can Sun Tuanlian live here?" ”

This made several people a little surprised, they and others rented this mansion but they hadn't talked about it with anyone else, why did someone suddenly come to the door?

But since someone called the door, it was not good, Tang Feng immediately walked outside and opened the door to greet the guests, but saw a man dressed as a clerk standing there, glanced at a few people who were talking in the courtyard, and asked, "Dare to ask who is Sun Tuanlian?" ”

"That's it, I don't know what it is?" Sun Tu immediately stepped forward and asked with his fists clenched.

The man was obviously a little surprised, he thought that Sun Tuanlian, who came to this capital, should be a mighty man in his thirties, so his eyes were swept over Yang Zhi and Luda before, but he didn't want to be the youngest one. However, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bent down and clasped his fists and saluted: "Zhou Mo, the secretary of the Beizhi Prefecture, came to invite Sun Tuanlian to go to the Yamen today on the order of Taishou, I don't know if you have time to practice in the group?" ”

Several people present were stunned when they heard this, who would have thought that Cai Taishou would actually surrender his identity and invite Sun Tu, a subordinate military attaché, to meet, this really gave Sun Tu enough face, and in comparison, it even more set off Yuan Wang's bad attitude.

Sun Tu only groaned slightly, and then said with a smile: "Since you are too obedient to the call, how dare the lower officials refuse." I'll go with you to see Taishou. Since the other party has handed over the olive branch, how can he not accept it, as for the previous concerns, he can only throw them aside now.

Zhou Mo smiled happily: "This is the best." Sun Tuanlian, please. ”

At that moment, Sun Tu went out with the other party, and walked along the streets that had already been familiar in the past few days towards the state government a few streets away.

At this time, it was still early, there were still many people in and out in front of the yamen, and Qin Fang, who had been blocking him for the past few days, was also present, as soon as he saw Sun Tu, he showed a trace of contempt, and then greeted him and said: "Sun Tuanlian is a little late today, just now Yuan Tuiguan has important business and left the state office, so ......"

Without waiting for the general to finish his words, Sun Tu laughed: "Don't bother with Qin Zhusi today, this official is not here to see the magistrate, but to be too vigilant and come to visit." As he spoke, he ignored Qin Fang, who had changed his face, and entered the yamen behind Zhou Mo, who had a calm face.

Qin Fang was stunned on the spot for a while, and then he suddenly came to his senses, and quickly turned around and walked towards the yamen, but he was not on the same road as Sun Tu, and after bypassing the high Zhao Wall, he went to the right side of the road to the Tuiguan Mansion.

And Sun Tu, finally arrived in Jiangzhou three days after the first time really walked into the state office, carefully look at it, the regulations here are not much different from Kaifeng Mansion, the same hall is followed by two halls, and then divided into several official halls. However, the area of this state government is twice as large as that of Kaifeng Mansion, but the manpower is less than that of Kaifeng Mansion, so it is particularly bright.

When he was still walking and observing the environment of the state ya, the Qin Zhisi had already come to Yuan Tuiguan's signing room, the latter was naturally in the yamen at this time, and had just processed an official document at hand, and was about to stop for a cup of tea to rest, when he saw him rushing over in a little panic, and immediately frowned: "Why are you so flustered, but what did Sun Tu do outside?" ”

Yuan Wang has always had a prejudice against military attachés, believing that they have a low status and can only be driven by others but cannot be entrusted with important tasks, otherwise the world will inevitably be in chaos. Coupled with Sun Tu's background, he looked down on him even more, so he let him eat many closed-door soups, so that the other party could recognize his identity.

If Sun Tu was dissatisfied with this and made something in front of the yamen, Yuan Wang could seize the opportunity to punish this subordinate and clean him up. This is exactly his experience and experience in managing the army in Jiangzhou for many years, and he believes that as long as his prestige is enough, he can control those military attachés and dare not make mistakes.

But this time the news that Qin Fang brought to him also made Yuan Wang's face change suddenly: "The state push doesn't know, Sun Tu entered the state government just now, but it was Cai Taishou who suddenly sent someone to invite him to ......see him."

"Are you saying that Cai Taishou actually went to invite a new group to meet regardless of his identity?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Yuan Wang first pondered for a while, and finally sneered: "Okay, it's really a good idea, then Sun Tu is also a little bold, and he dared to bypass me, my direct boss, and go to see Taishou first!" Isn't he afraid that this official will punish him for his crimes......" As soon as the words came out, he was suddenly stunned again, because he found that Sun Tu had not done anything wrong.

Nowadays, there is a habit in officialdom that new officials have to meet their immediate superiors before they are introduced to their immediate superiors, but that is only an unspoken rule after all, and there is no explicit provision that this must be done, let alone that they will be punished for it. It's just because this will be blamed by the immediate boss, and it will inevitably be worn in small shoes in the future, so I didn't dare to break the rules, after all, the county official might as well be in charge now.

can let Yuan Wangzhen punish Sun Tu for this matter, he doesn't have such confidence, and now there is Cai Taishou there to stand up.

"I didn't expect Taishou to attach so much importance to a martial artist, it seems that I also have to meet this Sun Tu." After some weighing, Yuan Wang immediately made a decision, beckoned Qin Fang to come closer, and whispered a few words to him: "You go to Taishou to keep an eye on it, as long as that Sun Tu comes out, bring him to the official." "I have to beat this guy in person, so that he doesn't think he will get carried away with Taishou as a backer.

Just when Qin Fang nodded hurriedly and agreed, and turned around and walked out of the signing room, he saw a group of people coming over, the leader was the Taishou of Jiangzhou City now, Cai Jing's ninth son Cai Dezhang, and Sun Tu, who he was about to meet, also followed behind Cai Taishou, and glanced at him with a smile.

Before coming to the official hall, Cai Jiu smiled and said aloud: "I heard that Yuan Tuiguan has been busy with official business recently and can't spare time to meet the new Sun Tuanlian, so this official is here to greet him." Hearing this, Qin Fang was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to react......
