Jiang Lan left the big tent of the Chinese army and went back to the camp to pack his bags.

Xiang Beichuan learned that Jiang Lan had returned safely, so he naturally ran to his camp as soon as possible. When he heard that he had been promoted to the magistrate of the eighth grade, not only was he not happy, but his face became a little strange.

"Brother Jiang, what did we join the army for, do you remember? Now you are leaving the barracks to serve, you are promoted, but your little life is also in danger. Xiang Beichuan frowned and said, "It's not as good as our military camp outside." Once that blind man Xu learns of your whereabouts, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will be poisoned by him sooner or later! ”

"Do you think the master wants to be this bird official! Not to mention what kind of danger there will be, just thinking of this official name - Cangcao Rafter, the master is disgusted. Situ Leopard, this old thing, the master helped him, and he in turn asked the master to show him the warehouse! Jiang Lan threw the luggage casually and threw it on the bunk, complaining incessantly.

Both of them knew how dangerous it would be to leave the barracks, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Speaking of Xiang Beichuan, Jiang Lan has known him for a year, and he has been born and died together several times, he has long regarded him as a friend, and this time he is naturally a little reluctant to separate.

They chatted late at night in the military tent, and the content was nothing more than rumors about this time in the northwest, and there was also a telling Jiang Lan to be careful after leaving the camp......

Early the next morning, Jiang Lan left the Yang'an Guan camp. Before leaving, he glued on his disguised magic weapon, a fake beard. After making a good disguise, he rode all the way to Yinping City. By the time we arrived at Yinping City, it was already evening.

This Yinping City Jiang Lan came once before, that is, that time he met Xiang Beichuan, and was dragged into a pool of muddy water by Xu Blind. This time I revisited the old place, and I had a different feeling.

But at this moment, Jiang Lan has already left all this behind. After a day of traveling, coupled with the fact that the water and rice had not entered, he felt hungry and tired. Now he just wants to eat a big meal and then get a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, there are many inns in Yinping City, and when Jiang Lan entered the city for a short time, he saw a restaurant. The façade of this restaurant is not small, there are three floors up and down, and there is a plaque hanging in front of the door, with three big characters on the book - Xilai Building.

There was a young man in front of the restaurant, and when he saw Jiang Lan leading the horse in front of the door, he immediately greeted him: "This master, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?" As he spoke, he took the reins from Jiang Lan's hand.

"Find me a room, and get two more specialty dishes to send to the room." Jiang Lan said, and casually took out a woodcarved waist card from his arms.

The waist card is more than three inches long, inch wide, the top of the waist card is engraved with a "beam" word, and the middle is engraved with the eight words of "Liang Zhengxi greedy wolf garrison", and the bottom is "Jiu Shi San" three small characters. This waist card was handed over to him by Gong Cao's steward before Jiang Lan left the camp, saying that with this waist card, whether it is to clear the card or stay in the pavilion, it will be a lot more convenient.

After the young man saw the waist card, he hurriedly called the shopkeeper of the inn, and the shopkeeper did not dare to slack off at all, arranged the best room for Jiang Lan, not to mention, but also helped Jiang Lan take the luggage, and even the food was delivered in person.

Jiang Lan didn't expect that a waist card would have such an effect. But he didn't have the heart to ask, for him now, eating and sleeping well is the most important thing. Two side dishes and a few pieces of dry food, after a while, they all went to belly, and after a full meal, they fell asleep.

There was no book overnight, and Jiang Lan left the inn early on the second day and set off for the county government of Yinping County to handle the handover matters.

Yinping City is not big, and Jiang Lan found the location of the county government yamen after a little inquiry. At this time, two messengers were standing at the door of the yamen chatting. While they were talking, they saw a man leading a horse and walking in the direction of the yamen.

The man led the horse to the bottom of the steps at the entrance of the yamen, stood still, and said to the two messengers: "Two of you, the new Cangcao Rafter of the Greedy Wolf Army, came here to find the county lord, I don't know if the lord can be here?" ”

When the two messengers saw that the person who came was an official master, they immediately didn't dare to slack off, and they stepped forward to greet him: "This lord, my lord is indeed in the yazhong, but he can't get out of his body at present, and he also invites the lord to go into the back hall for a while." ”

It's better to come early than to come by chance, this Yinping County is originally a small county, and there are not many things in government affairs at ordinary times, basically they are all handed over to the master and the scribes, and there are no lawsuits outside the city, so this county master is very idle every day. Today is also a coincidence, a messenger from the capital passed by Yinping County, and the county master was busy greeting at this time.

Yinping County Ya said that it is not big, it is not small, it is divided into the lobby, the middle hall and the back hall, and there are five small gatehouses of etiquette, household, criminal, worker and official. The lobby is used to hear cases and decide lawsuits, the middle hall is the office of the lord and the scribes, and the back hall is the residence of the lord.

Jiang Lan moved into the county office, and when he passed by the middle hall, he saw more than a dozen men in white standing in front of the middle hall on both sides of the door. These dozen or so people are all sturdy, their faces are sinking like water, and their temples are bulging, and at a glance, you can see that these are rare masters in the world.

"These people!"

Jiang Lan was as if he had been struck by lightning in an instant, although this group of people was very faceless, but the white clothes they were wearing were the white clothes of the person who fought with Xiang Beichuan in the bloody battle of Yujialing a year ago!

Jiang Lan was a little shocked in his heart, his steps slowed down, and he looked into the hall as he walked. Although the door of the hall was wide open, because the light inside the door was too dark and the light outside the door was too strong, Jiang Lan's eyes could only see that it was pitch black.

"What are you looking at! Don't get out of the way yet! ”

Jiang Lan's gaze was interrupted by a scolding, and he looked at the source of the voice, which was one of the dozen or so people in white.

The man was about thirty or forty years old, his complexion was slightly dark, the beard on his mouth was very neatly trimmed, and although the white clothes on his body were the same as those around him, the tiger-striped white jade headband on his head was not found by the others, and it seemed that this person was the leader among them.

In fact, when Jiang Lan had just transferred into the middle hall, this group of people saw him and didn't pay much attention to him, but this thing just looked inside without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and this action instantly aroused the nervous nature of the guards.

Hearing the man scolding himself, Jiang Lan was also stunned. He looked to the side and saw that the two messengers who were leading the way turned pale at this time. There is no one else, the other party is talking about himself!

Jiang Lan's face was pale, and he was a little angry in his heart.

The young master is in his early twenties, which is the age of blood and strength, how can he be scolded like this by you!

He just wanted to scold, but suddenly changed his mind: there are already a lot of rights and wrongs in him. If trouble is caused here, I am afraid that this year's hiding will also be in vain!

So he suppressed the anger in his heart, bowed to him, said nothing, turned his head and continued to walk towards the back hall.

Jiang Lan had just turned around and walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice coming. The voice was crisp and pleasant, but full of arrogance: "Your Excellency stays." ”

He turned around and looked for prestige, only to see a person walking out of the middle hall door. Around twenty years old, dressed in a white power suit, the belt and cuffs were tightly tied, and his black hair was tied up high, looking very capable. Although she is dressed in men's clothes, her fair and delicate skin, delicate facial features and curvaceous figure can clearly see that she is a woman.

As soon as the woman walked out of the door, she saw that more than a dozen white-clothed masters respectfully clasped their hands and saluted: "Young master! ”

"Young master?"

Jiang Lan had already guessed the identity of the person in the house just now, but when he saw the person who came, he was still a little surprised. The woman waved her hand and motioned for everyone to excuse herself. Her eyes looked at Jiang Lan, she looked Jiang Lan up and down, and at the same time walked towards her.

"This lord, I don't know what you are looking for?" Jiang Lan bowed deeply to him and deliberately lowered his voice and said to him. His face did not change, but cold sweat flowed from his back.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I saw you, I remembered an old man." The young master had a cold face and stared at Jiang Lan deadly.

"What an honor it is to be able to look similar to the old man of the adult."

Jiang Lan was respectful, but he couldn't stop drumming in his heart: he had a short time with this little girl that night, and although he covered his face with a black scarf at that time, it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would not recognize him by his body and voice.

"It's nothing, you go down." The young master looked at Jiang Lan for a while, and then seemed to lose interest, so he waved his hand and said.

"The next official retired."

Jiang Lan turned around and left, and didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he entered the back hall. Just now, he never dared to look at the young master, for fear that the other party would recognize him by his eyes!

"My lord, this is the back hall. Please come into the house for a while, and my lord will come to see you later. ”

Because he was so nervous, Jiang Lan even forgot that there were two other poor people beside him. They were also frightened into a cold sweat after what happened just now, but they didn't dare to say anything, the two invited Jiang Lan into a side hall in the back hall, poured him a cup of tea and retreated.

……

After waiting in the side hall for a full hour, Jiang Lan saw the Yinping County Order.

The county magistrate was an old man in his fifties, his hair was a little gray, and his ears were not very good, and Jiang Lan took a lot of effort to make it clear to him that he was here to hand over the official documents. The county magistrate said that he was not willing to deal with these trivial matters, and only asked him to go to the master of the yamen by himself, which made Jiang Lan annoyed for a while.

The official procedures in the county government are very simple, and they are nothing more than a matter of a few big seals. Counting the time wasted on the prefectural order, it is only two hours.

After finishing the official documents, Jiang Lan left the county office in a huff and went straight to the Yinping military warehouse.

"In the army, there are three Cao Yamen, which are responsible for rewarding merits, punishing faults, and storing and transporting them. Cangcao rafters are responsible for the storage, collection and transportation of individual military warehouses. Jiang Lan muttered what the master of the yamen had just told him as he walked, "To put it bluntly, the master is still a warehouse watcher." ”

According to the position given by the main book, he didn't walk long before he came to the Yinping military warehouse.

"Sure enough, it's pretty much what I expected."

Looking at the crooked and dilapidated plaque and the gate with old paint peeling, Jiang Lan couldn't help but sigh. He bolted his horse to the doorway and walked in.

As soon as you enter the gate, there is a large courtyard, and there is a large hall in the middle of the courtyard, and there are several gatehouses on the left and right sides. There was an old man in the middle of the compound, sitting on a bench drinking tea and basking in the sun.

The old man also saw Jiang Lan coming through the door, and hurriedly got up and said, "Who are you?" ”

"In Xiajiang Xiaoshui, the new Cangcao rafters, who is the old gentleman?"

"It turned out to be the chief officer, disrespectful and disrespectful. Zhao Xian, the lower official, is the warden of this Cangcao. The old man named Zhao Xian arched his hand and said.

Jiang Lan nodded, and then paced around the courtyard: "Looking at the appearance here, this Cangcao rafter seems to be an idle errand. ”

Zhao Xian nodded when he heard this, but he looked like he wanted to say something.

"Dian Zhao, looking at your appearance, it seems that you have something to say, I don't know what you have to say?"

"I don't dare to be a teacher, it's just that this Yinping City military warehouse has always been a place for people who are close to rest, and no young man has ever come here to serve before."

"Uh......" Jiang Lan was a little speechless, he had never thought that he would be arranged to retire after just two years in the army, but after thinking about it, he said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I just heard in the county government that the three Caos in this army have performance appraisals every year, and those with excellent performance can be promoted, and they can still get through." ”

"Your Excellency...... This performance appraisal is true, but our Yinping military warehouse is a little special - other military warehouses are responsible for the collection, storage and transportation of local grain and grass, and Yinping City is too close to the Yang'anguan camp, and there is a grain and grass warehouse in the camp itself, and it is a lot to reserve grain and grass here. Moreover, there is too little farmland around Yinping County, and the relevant work of requisitioning grain and grass is also handled by the local county government. If there is no performance, how can there be a performance appraisal ......"

"But," Jiang Lan was still a little unwilling, and he hurriedly asked, "But if it is really as you said, why do you still set up this military warehouse?" ”

"I heard that it was the relatives of a certain military general who wanted to find an idle position for the elderly, so there was a ...... in this military warehouse."

"This ......" is clearly arranged! Cangcao rafters, from enlistment, to soil.

However, this is not a good thing for Jiang Lan - since this errand is the same as not, it is just the right time to come up with a way to end the mess on his body.
