Chapter 38: Talent? Righteousness?

When the two left, everyone at the door saw that there was no drama to watch, and they also went home separately. Xu Ang didn't drink the warm wine, turned around and ate hot pot with Chen Liang in the lobby, just finished trying two cases, and felt comfortable and fun. Sitting in the lobby, eating hot pot, waiting for other cases to come to the door.

Presumably, the news that there was a sky eating star in the county government also spread, how many were eaten by Chen Liang, and the reputation of the murderer spread far and wide, and I don't know if anyone will dare to bring food to this county government in the future. Xu Ang's eyes forgot to pierce them, and no one came to the door to beat the drum until noon.

After a hasty lunch, a few people chatted in the Xide Hall, Xu Ang saw that the head of the Southern Criminal Department was doing a good job, so he asked, and learned that this person's name was Jiao Cheng, and he was also a local person, and he was quite prestigious in the local area, so he had an idea in his heart and said

"Steward Jiao, the current vacancy of the county office is vacant, you will temporarily replace you, in the meantime, you will bring Brother Liang to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the Southern Criminal Division, I will first write a letter of recommendation to the imperial court, if the imperial court allows it, the matter of the Southern Criminal Division will be handed over to Chen Liang after the edict is issued."

Jiao Cheng was overjoyed, he had been in charge of the Southern Criminal Division for many years, and the things under the jurisdiction of the warden were naturally known, as soon as this list went up, he became an official in the imperial court from a small official, and he was also inseparable, and he was grateful to see that Xu Ang did not arrange for his cronies to take up this position. Xu Ang wanted to recommend Chen Liang, but he still knew how much ability this product had.

"Then thank the county magistrate first!" Jiao Cheng said

"The county magistrate has just arrived, and the matter of meeting the county guard should not be delayed for a long time, and I have to go over to meet Lord Xia Wu when I have time." Jiao Cheng thought about it and said.

As soon as Xu Ang heard this, this is true, Shanyuan County is next door, and he will be there across the river, he has already taken office, and it would be rude if he didn't go to see the chief. So he said

"It's okay today anyway, instead of waiting here for the case, let's go over now!" So he arranged for Jiao Cheng to write a post, went to the backyard to get some tea and other gifts, handed them over to Chen Liang and Qi Niang, and went out. These gifts were prepared by Chen Shiqi for a long time, and they were really thoughtful.

Take the sedan chair man out, Xu Ang, Chen Liang, Jiao Cheng got on the horse, and rushed to Shanyuan County together, there are full-time sedan chair drivers and horsemen in the county government, and the county officials sit in a sedan chair on patrol, Xu Ang doesn't like it very much, this sedan chair is small, and it is comfortable to sit comfortably, but it is not free to ride a horse. So he let Qi Niang sit in the official sedan chair, where did Qi Niang dare? I couldn't be stubborn, so I had to sit up, but Jiao Cheng and those sedan chair drivers were stunned.

This county master is really eclectic, and this little girl who seems to be a maid should not be underestimated. Xu Ang knew what these people were thinking, and Chen Liang and Jiao Cheng rode horses, talking and laughing, but it didn't take long to arrive, and he also asked Jiao Cheng all the way about the situation of the county guard Wu, this person is a good official, he is almost sixty years old this year, honest and honest. However, I read a little dead, and I don't know how to flatter my boss, and I became a mayor-level official in the imperial examination list more than ten years ago, and I can't say whether it is misfortune or luck, and it is not bad after all.

While speaking, I also arrived at Master Wu's residence, the courtyard was quite big, Jiao Cheng went up and knocked on the door, came out of a small house, observed a few times at a group of people, Jiao Cheng handed over the post, and the group waited outside the door,

At this time, it was noon, so I waited under the tree, and it didn't take long for a person to be angry in the yard, but I couldn't hear what to say, anyway, the sound was quite loud, and after a while, the little guy who opened the door before opened the door again, and asked who was the Xu County Order, Xu Ang came over, the weather was hot, and he didn't wear an official uniform, and it was not unusual to not recognize it. After understanding, the little guy walked up to Xu Ang and said stupidly

"Lord Xu! I'm really embarrassed today, my lord is unwell, and it is not convenient to meet guests. ”

When Xu Ang heard it, the voice he heard just now was full of anger, and he looked sick? In this housekeeper's house, except for Lord Wu, other people still have the courage to make such a loud noise? I think it's strange, maybe I did something wrong to make the chief unhappy. At that moment, he grabbed the little guy, handed over a piece of silver, and asked

"I don't know what disease Wu Da was born of? I know a miracle doctor, can I see if I can recommend him? "I don't know the doctor, but if I can speak, there must be a chance.

The little guy looked at Xu Ang, wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Ang saw it in his eyes, pulled him aside, stuffed the silver into his hand, and said with a smile

"We don't talk secretly! I don't know what I did wrong to make Master Wu unhappy, this subordinate is worried, and I ask the little brother to make it clear. ”

The little guy saw that this was also an understanding person, and took the silver and said

"Since Lord Xu said so, then I have nothing to hide, but don't say that I said it, my lord is full of poetry and books, and the lord sent someone out to quietly observe Lord Xu, and saw a woman sitting in the official sedan chair, and I don't know if it is Lord Xu's wife, so I returned, and the lord was furious, saying that you don't follow the etiquette law, so I don't want to see you."

Xu Ang heard the fire in his heart, your uncle, you have seen it alone just now, obviously you said it, but now you don't admit it, and you can't break it, so you can only laugh a few times and say

"That being the case, it's wrong to be a subordinate over there, and I hope that the little brother will have time to give me a few kind words in front of Lord Wu." As he spoke, he handed over another ingot of silver, and the little guy took it unambiguously.

"Since Chief Wu is in poor health, then we will visit again another day! Little brother, this is a little local tea from my hometown, please help me hand it over to the adult, and I will come to visit when the adult is well! Xu Ang said loudly, and then winked at the little guy. The little guy accepted the money, and Xu Ang said it beautifully, this person didn't see it because he was sick, and if he didn't accept the gift, it would be impossible to say, so he took the tea. I went back to the house.

Xu Ang ate a nose of ash, but he didn't take it to heart, yesterday he passed through this mountain county town just in a hurry, and now there is still time, it is better to take a walk. So he asked Jiao Cheng

"What's so interesting about this town of Yambara?"

"There are two best places in the county town of Shanyuan, one is the palace of the king of Qi, which is the residence of the king of Qi today, but we can't get in. On the other hand, it is on the wall of this mountain county town, which was originally an inland important place, and although it has no military role now, the city wall has been restored over the generations, and it is more magnificent than before. Except for the five gates, there were no soldiers guarding the other places, and they could go up to see the surrounding scenery, which was a place frequented by the people. ”

As soon as Xu Ang heard what he said in his heart, he said, "Okay, you take me and I'll have a look." ”

Jiao Cheng said, "Let's go to the southeast, where there are mountains on one side and plains on the other, and the scenery is the best. After saying that, he led the group over.

On the city wall in the southeast of Xu Ang and his entourage, I felt magnificent in my heart, before I saw the city wall as high as more than ten zhang, this came up to see, I am afraid that it is thirteen zhang high, at this time it is already afternoon, the weather is beginning to overcast, the dark clouds in the distance seem to be pressed over, the left is the continuous foothills, the right is an endless plain, the scenery is magnificent, I can't help but suddenly feel proud, and said

"The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun. ......" This poem Li He's Yanmen Tai Shou Xing only read two sentences, but he didn't read it, thinking that although I don't have any ability, I don't want to be the thief in the literary world.

The people around looked at the county lord's poetry, and just read two majestic poems, why is there no such thing?

"Do you want someone to continue composing poetry?" Jiao Cheng said that he had some expectations for Xu Ang in his heart.

When Xu Ang heard it, he smiled and said, "Those two poems were written by a gentleman in my hometown, I forgot what was behind, or I will write one myself!" ”

As soon as everyone heard the applause, Xu Ang looked at the scenery in front of him, thought of the ancient battlefield here for I don't know how many years, and after a little silence, he spoke

The noise of drums in the south is loud, and the horses go east to cut the black clouds.

Millions of male souls are still there, and the horse's hooves are now stumbling.

The title of the poem is called Yamabara County Town!

Xu Ang said,

When everyone heard this, they immediately applauded in unison, and Jiao Cheng even took out the paper and pen that accompanied the sound, and wanted to write them down, which made Xu Ang's heart very happy.

"Haha! The boy! You have a bold mind, but don't cut off my black cloud, this rain cloud is not easy to come by, and the people of I, Shanyuan County, are looking forward to the early rain! A group of people walked beside him, and the old man at the head must have heard Xu Ang's poem, and clapped his palms and walked over.

Jiao Cheng walked up immediately and said quickly in Xu Ang's ear

"That is the King of Qi, known as a virtuous person, who likes talented people, and has a lot of diners at home." After saying these words, he quickly stepped aside.

A person next to King Qi came over in advance and introduced King Qi to Xu Ang, King Qi walked in front of Xu Ang and nodded slightly to Xu Ang, but Xu Ang was flattered and hurriedly returned a salute.

"What is your name, boy? Who is it! Are you interested in coming to my house? When this king saw that you were bold, his heart of love for talent suddenly rose! "This King Qi is straightforward

When Xu Ang heard this, he understood a little in his heart, this prince who likes talented people, how do I feel so awkward, this emperor is also old and confused, the farther away the better, out of sight and out of mind, how far is this Shandong to the capital, the prince is here, it is purely full of food and nothing to do.

"Xiaguan Xu Ang, Zi Zixuan, a person from the two lakes, the current Xishui County Commander, see King Qi!" Xu Ang made a gesture and replied.

"Xu Xianling has already entered the court as an official at a young age, and he is really a talented person from the country!" As soon as King Qi saw that Xu Ang was already an official, he didn't say anything about solicitation in his mouth.

Xu Ang smiled and said, "The prince is generous, the lower officials are already twenty-three, and they come out to walk the rivers and lakes by one word." ”

King Qi was curious in his heart, and said with a smile, "Could it be the word 'talent' for talent?" ”

Chen Liang accosted on the side: "I think it's the word 'righteousness' for righteousness." ”

As soon as this King Qi was accosted, he was obviously unhappy in his heart, but he pretended to look at Xu Ang with Chen Liang on his face, and saw who guessed correctly in the end.

When Xu Ang saw that the two of them looked together, he shook his head and said shamelessly

"It's the handsome word 'handsome'."
