Jia Ke was very surprised when he heard his answer, these few answers almost reported Kaipingwei's current situation to him. And not simply, answered him in one sentence. It seems that this Zheng Kai intends to take refuge in himself, but this is the case, when he first arrived in Kaipingwei, he also needs a person who understands the local situation, he wants to take refuge, and he has no reason not to accept him.

So Jia Ke stood up, came to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zheng Kai knows the situation of Kai Pingwei so well, he will follow me for the time being in the future, and he will arrange a position for you when he has the opportunity in the future." I don't know what you think. ”

Zheng Kai listened to Jia Ke's words, knelt down excitedly, and said to Jia Ke: "After being humiliated, you will be an adult." The sword mountain and the sea of fire all depend on the words of the adult. ”

Jia Ke was very satisfied with his statement, but he didn't fully believe him, looking at his future performance, he was making a decision on whether to fully accept him. Now is the time to use people, so let's use them first.

So Jia Ke ordered Zheng Kai to lead the way, and then Jia Ke and his party followed Zheng Kai to Kaipingwei.

Zheng Kai himself slowly led the way in front, and ordered a cavalryman under him to go back quickly to report that the Lord of Qianhu had arrived, and let the adults greet him outside the fort gate.

After walking for about an hour, Zheng Kai said respectfully to Jia Ke: "In front of my lord is Kaipingwei." ”

After listening to his words, Jia Ke put his hands on the pergola and looked forward. I saw a castle appear in front of me, the stone wall of the castle was towering, the battlements were standing, the gun hole was deep, and the whole castle looked like a strong barrier.

When Jia Ke and the others approached the castle, they saw dozens of officers in armor and several civil officials standing outside the city gate.

Jia Ke rode to the front, and those officers knelt down on one knee together, and said to Jia Ke Shili: "Subordinates, wait for you, welcome the arrival of the Thousand Households." ”

Jia Ke hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked up to these officers, held his hands in his hands, and said: "Everyone, please get up quickly, I am new to here, and I will need a lot of support from everyone in the future." ”

Only then did these officers stand up, and Zheng Kai was beside Jia Ke and was introduced by Jia Ke one by one. These officers are all the principal and deputy hundred households of Kaipingwei.

Jia Ke listened to Zheng Kai's introduction, and carefully observed everyone's faces, and found that most of them were full of respect. There are only a few who don't know how to be unruly, or have other plans in their hearts, and they don't respect Jia Ke very much.

Jia Ke wrote down the expressions of these people one by one, and then exchanged a few words with everyone, and was about to enter the castle.

At this time, those people who looked like civil officials walked over slowly. Arching his hand to Jia Ke, the leader said lightly: "My subordinates didn't know that Lord Qianhu was coming, and they didn't welcome him from afar, so please forgive Lord Qianhu a lot." ”

Zheng Kai hurriedly introduced on the side, "My lord, this is Lord Wang, the chief bookkeeper of the castle, who is in charge of the correspondence of Kaipingwei documents, as well as the distribution of money, food, and resources. ”

Jia Ke listened to Zheng Kai's words, and then he understood why this person dared to be so unreasonable, and he dared to be careless to himself, a superior.

Jia Ke held back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and thought to himself, he still doesn't understand the situation yet, so he will be patient with him for a while, and wait until he has mastered the situation, and then settle accounts with him.

So Jia Ke smiled on his face, stepped forward and took the hand of the king's bookkeeper, and said to the king's bookkeeper: "In the future, I will ask the king's bookkeeper to do these written work." After speaking, he walked side by side with the king master book and walked towards the gate of the Kaiping Acropolis. And everyone followed closely behind, and everyone entered Kaipingwei together, Zheng Kai led the way in front, and soon arrived at Kaipingwei's Qianhu Mansion.

At this time, the king said to Jia Ke: "The adults have just come, and they have been tired all the way, so I won't go in and disturb the adults." Farewell. He didn't wait for Jia Ke to answer, and left without looking back. Then all the remaining civil servants left.

Among the remaining 100 households, some people saw that the king was gone, and they also found various reasons to leave.

Jia Ke was angry in his heart, but he didn't show a little on his face, and still smiled and asked the remaining 100 households and nearly 1,000 mansions to continue talking together.

The remaining 100 households did not shirk once and entered with Jia Ke, and entered the hall of the thousand households, Jia Ke sat in the center, and the hundreds of households stood on both sides.

Jia Ke looked down at the sun, and there were a total of fourteen white households left. It seems that these are fourteen hundred households, and they are interested in getting closer to themselves. Since this is the case, then we should pull a batch and fight a batch. After the fourteenth household, it will be his own team.

Jia Ke first asked the following hundred households to introduce themselves, so these hundred households introduced themselves one by one, and it was unthinkable that these 14 hundred households were all infantry households, that is to say, the six hundred households who left were all cavalry, which made Jia Ke very strange.

Then came the time when the fourteen hundred households were loyal to Jia Ke, and Jia Ke immediately accepted them one by one. The next step is to enjoy the guests. Because Jia Ke had just arrived, the house had not yet been cleaned up, so he couldn't invite a hundred families to eat and drink, but the guests and hosts still had a good conversation, and finally Jia Ke personally sent them outside the house.

Jia Ke returned to the hall of Fuzhong and saw that Zheng Kai did not leave, but waited in the hall. Jia Ke nodded at him with satisfaction.

Jia Ke sat down in the hall again, and asked him, intentionally or unintentionally, "They are all gone, why don't you leave?" ”

Zheng Kai hurriedly replied: "I still have something to report to the adult, so I stayed for the time being." ”

Jia Ke nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can sit down and talk slowly." ”

Zheng Kai gently sat on the chair closest to Jia Ke, and then replied to Jia Ke: "Isn't it strange that my lord, all those left today are 100 infantry households, and all 100 cavalry households are gone." ”

Jia Ke's face nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this is exactly my doubt." ”

Zheng Kai said to Jia Ke: "It's not a secret, Kaipingwei originally had two deputy thousand households, each in charge of seven infantry and 100 households, and the adults were in charge of six cavalry and 100 households. ”

Jia Ke listened to his words, and it was even more strange, shouldn't it be that six cavalry and hundred households were moving closer to him, and the other fourteen infantry were either waiting and watching or moving closer to the king's book? How is it the other way around now?

Zheng Kai saw Jia Ke's doubts and explained his confusion: "My lord doesn't know, the king is the cousin of the former Qianhu and the brother-in-law of the prefect of Xuanfu Town. Therefore, the six cavalry and the hundred households all looked forward to the king's book. And the two deputy Qianhu, after the death of the predecessor Wang Qianhu, were already frightened, and they opened the joint a few days ago and just transferred away. These fourteen hundred households, the dragons have no leader, and when they see the adults coming, they naturally want to take refuge in the adults. After all, the adult is a righteous thousand-household official. ”

Jia Ke listened to his words and completely understood, but he didn't take the king master book seriously. You must know that in the officialdom, it is the official who crushes people to death, not to mention that he is the chief official of this Kaipingwei, and what the king says is not good, but it is just a document. Fighting for power with him with a thousand households is just relying on the prefect of Xuanfu Town. But he forgot that in this side of the fortress, military law is practiced, and he is not a serious civilian official, but only a subordinate in the army. When the time comes, Jia Ke can just find a reason to dispose of him. As for the so-called prefect, there is no way to take Jia Ke.

Jia Ke is now very satisfied with Zheng Kai, and said to him: "When you go back, tell you Baihu, and say that I will transfer you to your side to listen to it." You go back and hand it over, and then you will listen directly to me. ”

Zheng Kai was overjoyed, in fact, it was no wonder that he fell in front of Jia Ke and said: "I am willing to serve the adults and serve the dogs and horses, and I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the adults." ”

Jia Ke nodded, comforted him a few more words, and let him retreat.
