Everyone followed Wei Shi into the county lieutenant's office, and a familiar feeling greeted them.

At that time, Heifu had just arrived in this era not long ago, but he was just a little bit older, and the day was precarious. Relying on the opportunity seized when he was performing martial arts, he was appreciated by Du Xian, and asked General Chen Bai to summon him here and ask him a word.

Would you like to be a servant?

In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed.

Heifu still remembers the old jujube tree in the courtyard like a canopy, and now there are no leaves left on the tree, which is quite desolate.

After entering the hospital, the others were taken by the officials to hand over the "zhi", that is, the certificate of the end of the service. Heifu was led into the hall by Wei Shi, and when he took off his shoes in front of the hall, Heifu suddenly remembered that when he first came, he had just finished the hard work of Chengdan's conscription, and he didn't even have foot socks, and he had to walk barefoot on the cold floor.

Further inside, the placement of the hall has not changed much, on the left is the bookshelf with the slips, on the right is the spear, halberd, bow, sword, five kinds of weapons "Lan Qi", the right lieutenant and the left lieutenant of the county are sitting in the middle, both dressed in black, wearing a bamboo crown, waiting for the black man.

The left lieutenant is an old acquaintance, so naturally there is no need to introduce it, and the right lieutenant is a new face, Zheng Shui, a native of Yingchuan who was transferred after Heifu's service, and his title is the 8th level of public doctor.

Two years ago, Heifu had to go over when he entered the door and bowed to the two, but now that he is here, Zheng Shu, the right lieutenant, immediately smiled, and disregarded the respect of the county lieutenant and got up first. Seeing that his hands had moved, Zuo Wei Yunman couldn't continue to sit, so he had to get up to greet this "little pavilion chief" he hated to the core.

"Hefu has seen two county lieutenants."

Heifu shook slightly, this is not a big deal, he is now an official doctor, according to the rules of the Qin State, even if he sees the county order, he can bow without bowing, let alone two county lieutenants with the same title as him.

The right lieutenant and the left lieutenant also bowed to him.

"Although I haven't met Heifu, but after coming to Anlu, I have heard a lot about your deeds when you were the pavilion chief, and you are really a rare cadre. After going to the army, I have made many meritorious achievements, I have always wanted to meet you, and after I saw it, I was surprised that you are so young......"

Zheng Shui is already almost forty years old, and there is a twilight in his speech, and Heifu just celebrated his twentieth birthday on the winter solstice last month, and he is indeed enviable, so young is an official doctor, what about ten years later? It's hard to imagine.

"I am a junior in the next generation, all relying on a little luck, I suddenly got a reward, I am honestly afraid, and I hope that the right lieutenant will give me more guidance in the future."

Zheng Shui took the initiative to show goodwill, and Heifu was of course humble in his words, but he also heard that this new right lieutenant was not as far away as his predecessor Du Xian, and he was cowardly and indisputable, and the power of the county lieutenant's office was in the hands of the left lieutenant.

However, as long as it is a person, it is impossible to be willing to be a puppet that has been set up, a seal, and this time the black man and their return, isn't it a good time for the right lieutenant to counterattack and seize power?

After a few words of greeting, Zheng Shui invited Heifu to sit on the left side, just opposite to Zuo Wei Yunman, and the status of the two seemed to be on level.

Looking at each other, the black man grinned, and the left lieutenant smiled at him as if nothing had happened before. This surprised Heifu a little, Yun Man had always been a very deep and patient person in his impression.

The two of them were silent there, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and only the voice of Zheng Shui, the county lieutenant, was left in the hall.

Zheng asked Heifu about the situation at the front, and Heifu only hid some confidential things, and knew everything else.

"After the snow fell in late November, the fighting basically stopped, the Chu army retreated, and our army began to collect troops, disbanding the old soldiers who had passed the service period and returning home......"

Even if the king of Qin is still unwilling to this battle, but the conscription must also talk about the basic law, like the soldiers of Nanjun, and then force them to serve abroad, morale will only be further depressed, and at the same time cause dissatisfaction with the war in various counties and counties, it is better to dismiss another group, so Heifu and others can return to their hometowns.

Heifu knew in his heart that the King of Qin would never give up, as early as the end of spring ploughing, as late as the autumn harvest, and when the country came out of the shadow of defeat a little, a new mobilization order would be issued, and that would be a real national battle!

Anlu County is bound to not be spared.

But those things, of course, were ordered from above, and Heifu now had no military rank, and could not interfere in the way of overstepping his authority, at most he kindly reminded the right lieutenant of the county, telling him that the two countries were still hostile, and that he should not relax the training of the local guards, and that's it.

At this time, the county lieutenant also mentioned that the county had arranged for these "battle heroes", and everyone had returned from great achievements, and their worth had risen, of course, it was impossible to continue to be the previous small officials, and King Qin also asked all counties to entrust the meritorious soldiers with important responsibilities in the edict praising Li You, so they did not dare to let them stay at home, so as not to be said to be cold to people with meritorious service.

"Everyone has meritorious deeds, and of course this captain must be reused!"

The right lieutenant Zheng Shu changed his usual cowardice, and today he was extremely strong, and he didn't ask Yun Man's opinion at all, so he made a decision, and Yun Man moved his mouth and didn't raise any objections.

"But ......"

Zheng Shu said: "Heifu is now an official doctor, and it is too young to be a captain and a captain, and I can't arrange you here......

As soon as the words ended, the lieutenant Shi outside came again, and reported that the county magistrate next to him had invited Dr. Heifu!

"Sure enough." The right lieutenant smiled: "The county commander heard that you are back, and he can't wait to see you, as for how to arrange your position, it is still up to the county monarch!" ”

Heifu got up, and at this time, he turned his head and walked in front of Captain Zuo Yunman, who had not said a word today, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, if Captain Zuo hadn't asked me to escort the prisoners to the north to serve, Heifu would never have had today's chance." Heifu is here for himself, and for the soldiers who returned home with my brocade clothes, thank you Captain Zuo! As an elder, Captain Zuo spared no effort to promote the juniors of his fellow villagers in this county! ”

Yun Man's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he was almost about to have a seizure.

But in the end, he still swallowed this breath in his stomach, regained his composure, and smiled casually: "Doctor Guan is humble, and the days when you and I work together in the future will be long!" ”

……

"Doctor, what position did you get?"

Half an hour later, when Heifu came out of the county magistrate's office, eight of his men were still waiting outside, and when they saw him come out, they hurriedly gathered around him to ask.

Heifu sold a pass, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, what position did you and the others get?" ”

Dongmen Leopard has lost the sadness of not having a son, and said with a smile: "The right lieutenant arranged for me to do a tour of the northern suburbs. ”

In the Qin State, the position of local wanderer does not correspond to the doctor, and let the Dongmen leopard do the cruise, which is considered preferential treatment, and with the fierce name of the Dongmen leopard, it is not a problem to deter thieves and teenagers in a township.

Xiao Tao also stammered: "Right ...... The right lieutenant asked me to be the commander of the tun and train ...... Training of archers. ”

Xiao Tao's strength is accurate archery, in the past two years, as life has improved, he is only 19 years old and began to continue to move upward, and now he is more than seven feet tall and can shoot stronger bows and arrows. His weakness is that he is limited to words, but as a material officer who is only responsible for training, he is more than enough, not to mention that there is also a soldier who is made on the throne and has been arranged to be his chief and can speak for him.

Heifu taught him: "Don't be nervous, the military camp speaks by strength, and when the time comes, you demonstrate the bow technique, and everyone will be convinced." ”

In addition, Ji Ying was arranged to be the postman of Zhuanshui Township, in charge of the postal service of Yixiang.

Several other Shangzai, either pavilion chiefs or thieves, are mostly arranged near their homes.

Only Lixian was thoughtful, and Hefu asked him, and he said, "I was recruited to the county seat as a captain......

It just so happens that this position is also in line with the characteristics of Liham's meticulous and resourceful nature.

Liham touched his chin and said: "The positions we have obtained are all quite in line with our hearts, and they are all near the township, and the right lieutenant is not familiar with us, and he does not know what everyone is doing, how can it be arranged so properly?" It's ......"

He looked at Heifu.

"Not bad." Heifu smiled and said: "It was I who made a suggestion to the right lieutenant, and the second and third sons are still satisfied with this new position?" ”

"Just what we want!" Everyone thanked him and was even more grateful to Heifu, after all, he had been a soldier under Heifu for more than a year, and sure enough, he still knew everyone.

Heifu guessed correctly, the right lieutenant Zheng Shui really wanted to take this opportunity to counterattack and seize power. And the return of Heifu just gave him a large number of ready-made candidates, which could be placed in various positions in the county lieutenant system, squeezing Zuo Wei Yunman's old cronies, who really sent a pillow when he was sleepy, and Heifu was of course happy to see his "faction" take root and grow in the county, so the two hit it off and formed a tacit "alliance".

"After you go to work, you must be respectful to the right lieutenant, and only obey his orders." But Heifu is also confident, the right lieutenant is an airborne officer, has no roots in the local area, changes every few years, and when it comes to the critical moment, everyone will still listen to his words.

"The official doctor hasn't said yet, what kind of position has been arranged for you by the county order." Ji Ying was curious and asked.

Heifu said disapprovingly: "Before the county order could speak, I said that I had just returned from the front line, suffered a small injury, and planned to recuperate at home for a while, and did not plan to become an official immediately." ”

"Why is that?" Dongmen Leopard was shocked.

"Nonsense!"

Liham glared at them: "Now this small Anlu County, is there still a position that can accommodate the official doctor?" ”

When everyone thought about it, it was originally in Anlu County, and the locals of the official doctor could count them on one hand. If Heifu is allowed to be an official such as a village husband and a warehouse husband, he will be somewhat wronged, and the three positions of the chief official Peng, prison Peng, and Zuo Lieutenant who can be worthy of this lord are not vacant.

"That's right, instead of embarrassing the county order, it's better to refuse first."

Heifu said this, but in his heart, he disliked that the fish pond in Anlu County was too small.

He was originally a golden lin, when he swam in Yunmeng Daze, how could he be satisfied with being a thing in the pool?

Heifu is waiting, waiting for Li You's promise! It's time to get the first return for the favor that was sent before.

Before that, he had been making salted fish at home for a few days, and after more than a year of running, Heifu felt that his bones were about to fall apart......

However, after Hefu said goodbye to the crowd and rode home, his men did not disperse, but were re-summoned by Liham, whispering.

"Actually, there is another way to make the county vacant a position suitable for the official doctor."

"What's the method?" Dongmen Leopard, Lixian and others hurriedly pricked up their ears.

"It's simple."

Li Xian said gloomily: "Let Captain Zuo be blamed and dismissed!" ”
