"That's it!" Yao Qisheng got up, he bent his body, took two steps back and forth, and finally made a decision: "This matter is based on the official's questioning, and the specific matters will be determined according to the situation of the day, and no other things must be born. ”

"The lower official obeys the order, and the lord rests!"

After Xu Anmin and Sun Kui left the mansion, Xu Anmin said: "Lord Sun has a heart for the people, and this official really admires it!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Sun Kui arched his hand: "As an official, if you are not for the people, what does it mean to be an official?" Lord Xu, it's not too early, and the next official is going back to rest! ”

After Sun Kui left, Xu Anmin went straight to a teahouse, and in the pavilion, Yu Hailong and the gentlemen laughed and talked here.

"Lord Yu, if this matter is done, you probably won't be able to be a mansion..." In the surprised eyes of everyone, the gentleman surnamed Liu smiled: "You are a stable county guard, a mansion, if you can, you will give us people a good time..."

"This matter has not yet been decided, so don't talk nonsense!" Hearing the praise, Yu Hailong smiled, and at this time Xu Anmin came in, Yu Hailong said: "How is the situation?" Then Yao Qisheng is willing to ask Ma Zhong when he is greeting and rewarding? ”

"Lord Hui, Yao Qisheng agreed, and that Sun Kui is already determined to fight against Ma Zhong!" Xu Anmin laughed.

"Sun Kui is a good official, but his heart is dead!" The other gentlemen shook their heads and sighed unconsciously, but who knew that Yu Hailong's face was slightly dark: "What?" Are you guilty? Or is it a pity for Sun Kui himself? Or the official will change the order now, and you will ask Ma Zhong on behalf of Sun Kui? ”

"Don't be angry, I'm just sighing! Come on, come on... My lord, when we enter the position in two days, we are having a drink! As a result, the fame of these gentlemen and officials in Yu Hailong was drunk in the staggered cups!

Lincheng gentry official, outside Lang'an Mansion. Early in the morning, An Pingkang burned incense and worshiped God in the ancestral hall in the backyard, but the housekeeper came to report, saying that Cheng'an River in Linshui County asked to see, An Pingkang heard this, and was slightly surprised: "Why did this family come?" ”

"Sir, then see... Or is it missing? ”

"See, although the two families have not communicated for many years, Ke Anhe has also run to the position of the county prince, compared to me, a gentleman, it is a little stronger, it really saves his face, and he can't say it in front of his ancestors!"

An Pingkang spoke, the housekeeper went to Ying'an He, An He entered the hall, a few steps away, An He spoke first: "Uncle is above, little nephew come to visit!" ”

"Sit down, sit down!" An Pingkang smiled lightly, and when the two of them sat down, An Dao said: "The little nephew took the liberty to come this time, it is really an important matter, otherwise he will never dare to disturb his uncle at all!" ”

"Where is the nephew, you and I are the same family, although we have been more distant recently, but there is still a blood friendship..."An Pingkang didn't want to offend An He, and An He didn't want to disturb An Pingkang in vain, after the two sides were in control, An He motioned to Mr. Wang to step forward.

"Over the years, the little nephew has had a lot of income, and this time I came here to honor your old man!"

An He said, Mr. Wang presented a silver ticket and a jade pot, An Pingkang was indifferent, but when he saw these luxurious things, he suddenly looked at him, not to mention the silver ticket for the time being, he has been a gentleman for decades, and some family backgrounds, but foreign treasures such as jade pots are basically monopolized by the officials.

An He looked at An Pingkang's expression and was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show anything: "If my uncle is interested in this kind of artifact, he can go to Linshui County when he has time, and there are several artifacts like this in my nephew's mansion!" ”

"Is that true?" An Pingkang asked with a smile.

"Naturally, take it seriously!"

"So much...", An Pingkang is not a stupid person, he knows that An He will not come here for no reason, after a short hesitation, An Pingkang said: "Why is my nephew here?" If it is within the scope of the uncle's ability, the uncle can help one or two! ”

Hearing this, An He motioned to Mr. Wang and the others to take shelter for the time being, and An Pingkang also retired from his domestic servants.

"Uncle, my nephew heard that Lincheng will give a greeting and ask the officials in charge of each county to come and greet the marching army and the Bei'an army, we all know that the marching capital camp belongs to the Lincheng city defense army, and the Bei'an army belongs to the military marching local army, and the two are not at the same rank at all, how to give the same reward to Lincheng? What the hell is going on? ”

In this regard, An Pingkang had a little doubt, and finally he said: "Forgive me, nephew, my uncle has been in poor health recently, and he has not participated in the gentry meeting for many days, and he is not very well-informed about these official news!" ”

Hearing An Pingkang's refusal, An He combined Chen Yu's explanation and speculation, and had already concluded that there was something in it, and after a short thought, An He got up and gave his hand: "Uncle, forgive my nephew for being disrespectful, this official behavior is unknown, it is already a taboo for the official family, and then if he misbehaves, he will inevitably cause trouble, and his uncle is a gentleman, if he is entangled in it, he is afraid that he will be punished by the official family!" ”

The cold remarks made An Pingkang unhappy: "How can you say this?" ”

An He's face was encouraged: "My nephew came here on this trip, and he is really the Bei'an Army!" ”

The three words "Bei'an Army..." were in his ears, which made An Pingkang confused for a while, and after a while, he said: "You are an official family, how can you mix with the Bei'an Army?" ”

"Uncle, this greeting is obviously a secret act of a bad person, uncle must not be entangled in it, the words have come to this, it is all up to the uncle to decide!"

An He turned around and wanted to leave, but the pressure of his words made An Pingkang's heart unstable, and he raised his foot to stop An He: "Follow me to the study to discuss matters!" ”

Half a moment later, An He learned the movements of the Lincheng official family from An Pingkang's mouth, and it turned out that the former governor Yu Hailong was unwilling to be transferred by Yao Qisheng's official power, and took the opportunity to do it.

"Anhe, this time the twenty gentry officials in Lincheng, several important members of the county government have been united by Yu Hailong, and plan to ask Yao Qisheng in public, accuse Ma Zhong, and even the Bei'an army are calculated, although it sounds cheap, but as a member of the gentry, how can my uncle be good at living in this circle? Alas..."

An Pingkang sighed, Rao is An He thought for a long time, and said, "Uncle, do you dare to write down these things?" To bear witness to a crime? ”

"It's... This... Cannot... Cannot! An Pingkang immediately refused: "Yu Hailong is the head of the Lincheng family, and his reputation and authority in the squire officialdom are very great, even Yao Qisheng does not dare to forcibly commit the crime, you let your uncle do this, once it is leaked, it will really kill your uncle..."

"Definitely!" An He disagreed: "Those who are officials are all for power, and my nephew believes that the union of gentry and officials is nothing more than the benefits given by Yu Hailong, otherwise who would want to make waves with him?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Uncle, this time my nephew came to be entrusted by the county order Chen Yu, but who is Chen Yu now? Uncle should understand! ”

An Pingkang thought about it for a while, and then understood: "You mean... Bei'an Army..."
