Jinyang, the residence of the governor of western Jinxi, in the study, the fragrance of tea is curling.

At the top sat a middle-aged scribe with a clear face, a long beard, and a civilian dress, who was the governor Geng Ruqi.

There are two people sitting on the left and the right, the young Confucian is wearing a cyan Confucian robe, and is lifting the tea bowl to drink tea, and the middle-aged strong man is wearing a samurai uniform, and is twisting his brows in a painstaking meditation shape.

The silence in the study was incomparable, and the sound of the young Confucian student putting down the tea bowl was clearly audible.

"The teacher doesn't need to worry too much, thinking that since the rogue has no food, he will not be able to hide for a long time, once he shows up to make trouble, the entire western Jin will be cleared by the teacher's strong wall, they can only bite the bullet and fight to the death to fight Jinyang to have a glimmer of life, Jinyang has Lord Zhang in charge, and he will be able to annihilate the rogue and make meritorious deeds." The young scribe was the first to break the silence and spoke.

"Wen Rui doesn't need to comfort the old man." The middle-aged scribe stroked his long beard and said, "I'm not afraid that the rogue will come, I'm afraid that he won't come, the thieves have disappeared for so long and haven't shown up, and it is very likely that they have escaped from Jinxi, so it is beyond the reach of the whip." ”

This truth, the Confucian who was called to write Rui didn't know it, but he didn't want to say it to stimulate his teacher.

In fact, as the governor of a place, he can drive the rogues away from the locality, although this merit is not outstanding, but it is not bad, but Geng Ruqi wants to go to the next level, so it is impossible to say that there is no gain at all, and the head of the rogues is a real merit.

As for such a thing as killing good people and risking merit, when they reach a high position like a governor, they need to be very cautious, because if they don't do it well, they will suffer from it.

The most depressed of the three is the chief soldier Zhang Honggong, he could have taken over as the chief soldier of Datong, away from this mess in western Jinxi, Datong is a border town, forgive those rogues and dare not go to the tiger's beard, and Datong faced the military pressure of the Cypriot Mongolians, and if he really wanted to leave, no one could say that he was not.

However, this position was run down by Geng Ruqi, and Geng Ruqi is likely to become his boss in the future, if he doesn't sell face, it really can't be justified.

At present, the rogues can't hide, and Zhang Honggong is helpless, so he has to keep silent.

"Honggong, don't worry, wait another ten days, if the rogues still don't show up, you will go to Datong to take office." Seeing that Zhang Honggong had not spoken, Geng Ruqi said.

"It's... My lord, how can the last general leave like this, he must destroy the rogues. Zhang Honggong hurriedly said.

"Alas, don't say that, you've already lost a lot of time, and if you delay it any longer, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Geng Ruqi used his connections to not only seek the post of Datong General Army for Zhang Honggong, but he also helped to suppress it after not arriving for such a long time, but if the time was longer, he would not be able to withstand it, and Zhang Honggong would be his arm in the future, and he could not always drag him with the matter of bandits, so as not to make him resentful.

"Teacher, you..."

"Needless to say." Geng Ruqi raised his hand to stop his student's unfinished words, "The old man has also been on the battlefield, and I have seen the ferocity of Jiannu. Wenrui, do you think your teacher is so useless? ”

"The teacher is both civil and military, Wen Rui has always admired, but Wen Rui is going to leave for the security guard in a few days, if Lord Zhang is not there, there is no one around you to help, you are just worried about your body." Wen Rui replied.

"Lian is quite old, can he still eat, the old man is really eating a lot now, so you can rest assured." Geng Ruqi said with a smile, "But if you go to Baoan Prefecture to take office, you have to be careful on the road, there is no trace of the Liukou, just in case..., or let Master Zhang send a team of elite soldiers to protect you to the north." ”

"No, no, no, teacher, now is the time to use soldiers, how can we weaken Jinyang's strength in vain because of this little thing of Wen Rui." Wen Rui excused himself.

"That's not good, the dignified Jinyang City, I don't care about the dozens of soldiers." Geng Ruqi disagreed.

The master and apprentice were arguing, and the voice of the servant sounded outside the door, "Master Qiqi, Zhou Chengyun of the Pujie Chamber of Commerce asks to see Zhou Gongzi!" ”

"Zhou Chengyun!" Geng Ruqi was overjoyed, got up from the chair, and said repeatedly, "Please, please!" Not ......"

Without waiting for the servant to answer, he himself denied, "I will personally go to meet you." ”

"Teacher!" His disciple was a little puzzled, "A merchant, as for you to greet him personally?" ”

"Wen Rui, you don't know this, when King Qin of Jingshi, if there was no funding from this person, I am afraid that Zhang Zongbing and I would have been imprisoned now, just waiting to be beheaded after the autumn." Geng Ruqi straightened his clothes and walked towards the outside of the study.

"Lord Geng is waiting for me, and I will also go to greet Gongzi Zhou." Zhang Honggong also followed.

Geng Ruqi's disciple didn't know the inside story, but his teacher and the general soldier had all gone out, so he naturally couldn't stay in the study, so he stomped his feet and went out.

After a while, the three of them hugged Zhou Chengyun and returned to the study.

Zhou Chengyun saw Geng Ruqi bring himself to the study, but he was a little surprised, those who could enter the study with the master were all close people, which showed that Geng Ruqi did not see him, and the money spent in Gyeonggi last year was worth it, and this Lord Geng is also a person who misses the old love.

"Come on, come on, promise, introduce you." After sitting down one by one, Geng Ruqi, as the master, spoke first, "Mr. Zhang doesn't need it, right?" ”

Although he had already seen the ceremony just now, Zhou Chengyun still stood up and arched his hand, "The grass people have seen Lord Geng, Lord Zhang. ”

"Why should Zhou Gongzi be polite." Zhang Honggong stood up and forced Zhou Chengyun back into the chair and sat down, "If I hadn't met you in Gyeonggi last winter and gave us a sum of money to send those Qiu Ba, these guys are bound to make trouble, if that's the case, where would we still have the opportunity to meet you." ”

Hearing this, Geng Ruqi's students roughly understood, no wonder their teachers and Zhang Honggong valued this person so much, if the Jinxi soldiers who entered King Qin's capital mutinied, then their plans during this time were just a joke.

"The two adults are serious." Zhou Chengyun is very humble, "It's just that we're all in the same boat." ”

"Promise to sit down, no need to be polite." Geng Ruqi spoke, "This is my student, the new security guard Zhizhou He Wenrui. ”

Seeing that his teacher valued Zhou Chengyun so much, He Wenrui naturally didn't dare to slack off, and said first, "Zhou Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, you are the teacher's benefactor, that is, my benefactor." ”

That's right, if Geng Ruqi is imprisoned, he will definitely have no play as a governor.

Zhou Chengyun didn't insist any longer, sat on the chair and arched his hand, "I've seen Lord He." ”

The night was getting deeper and deeper, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and that night, the servants outside the study of Geng's mansion served until late, and he couldn't remember how many times he added tea.

When Zhou Chengyun returned to the inn with Si Cha, it was already the second half of the night, in order to let the two of them go back smoothly, Geng Ruqi also specially sent his family to follow, so as not to be misunderstood by the soldiers who patrolled the night with a curfew.

"Childe, what did you all talk about? So late! Si Cha rubbed his eyes, yawned and asked, he was asleep in the gatehouse of Geng's mansion.

"I'll talk to you later." Zhou Chengyun said, "Pen and ink are waiting!" ”

"Still not sleeping?" Si Cha asked in surprise, but his hands and feet were not idle, and he quickly set up a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

"There is something important to do, and there is no delay."

Zhou Chengyun picked up the pen, "brushed and brushed" on the paper, Si Cha squinted, and looked up like this, "Zhiwen my brother ......"
