After returning to the official office, Tang Cheng temporarily put down the document scroll he had been reading for the past few days, and began to carefully read the requisition proclamation and the documents attached to the proclamation, not only to see what was involved in the document, but also to take the trouble to transcribe the different data one by one, and calculate the proportional relationship between the different data accordingly.

Although Tang Cheng traveled from the later generations, and he had watched a lot of officialdom and TV series in the later generations, he had not really worked as a civil servant after all. It was the experience just now that made him realize that there was such a deep door hidden in these seemingly boring official documents. If you want to eat this bowl of public rice well, if you don't get familiar with these doorways as soon as possible, you will inevitably be looked down upon by those old knives and pens. To put it mildly, if someone stumbles on someone because he doesn't know the business, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it at that time.

When he was using the "dissecting sparrow method" to analyze the proclamation carefully, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, Tang Cheng got up and opened the door to look, but what he saw was not the expected Zhao Laohu, but the miscellaneous servant Lao Sun, who had not seen anyone just now, led the county school Lin Xuezheng and walked in.

Seeing Tang Que coming out of the house, Lin Xuezheng didn't talk to him, nodded and went directly to Zhang Xianling's office.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng didn't follow up, and reflexively went back to his room, but as soon as he sat down and calculated the three proportional data, he heard a sound of footsteps again, but this time it was Zhao Laohu.

"Lin Xuezheng just entered", greeted out of the official room, Tang Cheng whispered to Zhao Laohu, and then also brought him to Zhang Xianling's official room.

"Zhao County Lieutenant, you can be counted as coming, come, hurry up and sit, I just told Lin Xuezheng, looking forward to you coming is really like looking forward to a long drought", seeing that Zhao Laohu arrived, Zhang Xianling's tone was a lot more excited, and he didn't even let Tang Cheng do such a thing as pouring tea, but did it himself, "Tang Cheng, from now on, no outsiders will be seen, and you will stop anyone who comes to see you."

Just now, he clearly wanted to go to Zhao Laohu in person, but finally walked a few steps but stopped, and finally sent him there, which was obviously self-conscious; After Zhao Laohuren came, he took tea and poured water by himself, focusing on showing affection. Tang Cheng silently looked at Zhang County's seemingly inconsistent move, it seems that there are really a lot of things to learn in the county office.

The three of them sat down, and after Zhang Xian ordered this order, Tang Cheng went out of the room silently, although he really wanted to listen to the analysis of the three of them and the strategy formulated after the analysis, but now he is not qualified to participate in such a conversation after all.

There are only five people in this county who are the internal officials of the Ministry of Officials, and there are three in this house, as for Tang Cheng himself, although he has the same salary as Lin Cheng because of Zhang County's order and Zhao Laohu, but according to the qualifications he has just joined, and regardless of the huge difference between the Liuwai officials and the Liunei officials, he is only the lowest ninth rank in the Liuwai Ninth Rank, which is only the lowest in the entire county government, and is only a little stronger than the miscellaneous servants who are not even Liuwai officials.

In this regard, Tang Cheng didn't mean to complain, after all, he was young and had little qualifications, and it was normal for him not to participate in such a formal meeting, even if Zhang Xianling trusted him again, this officialdom still had to talk about it.

The meeting between the three of them lasted for a long time, and it didn't end until the bell rang for a long time, and it wasn't until Tang Cheng finished his work and saw that the moon was rising outside the window, and the door of Zhang County's official room opened.

Zhang Xianling personally sent Zhao Laohu to the door outside and stopped, "Tang Cheng, I still have some things to discuss with Lin Xuezheng, and the matter of sending Zhao County Lieutenant will be handed over to you."

"Nephew and son-in-law send uncle, isn't this just right", Lin Xuezheng's funny words made several people laugh, and this not funny remark invisibly diluted the heavy atmosphere just now.

After walking out of the road with Zhao Laohu, Tang Cheng looked back, but saw that Zhang Xianling, who had sent them to a distance, had returned to the official room, it seemed that before Erlongzhai was completely wiped out, Zhang and Lin didn't want to live in Ansheng again.

The two walked outside the yamen together, and as they walked, Zhao Laohu suddenly said: "Just ask whatever you want, don't sulk like such a weird and weird looker."

"Hey, hey!" , Tang Cheng smiled and was not polite, "How are you going to deal with the matter of Erlongzhai?" ”。

"What else can be done besides?" , Zhao Laohu didn't wait for Tang Cheng to ask again, and directly said what he wanted to ask, "Early tomorrow morning, the yamen will send the tolerance of the two team leaders to Erlongzhai, and first surround the downhill road to death, even if we can't attack it, we won't let them come down again during this time." At the same time, we also explored the bottom of Erlongzhai and the topography of Pingtou Peak to see if there were any other ways and methods to think; After the four times of hoeing, before the wheat harvest is double-robbed, Ding Zhuang will be requisitioned, and it will be time to try it."

Listening to Zhao Laohu's words, Tang Cheng nodded, this arrangement is the safest way now, "Then who will bring those two shifts over tomorrow?" ”。

"Who else can there be besides Zhang Ziwen? Wait for the news to be clear, and I will go over after Ding Zhuang's recruitment is completed", Zhao Laohu said here, and stopped, "By the way, the matter of requisitioning Ding Zhuang for two miles has fallen on me, and I have to apply for it, but you have to write the proclamation, you have to start this early, and you will make a list after you arrive at the Ya tomorrow, and I will come forward for you to ask for help."

From the county's requisition to only two miles of Ding Zhuang, Zhang County's order obviously listened to his opinion just now, saying that there are no more than 100 women and children in Erlongzhai plus women, whether it is a fight or a siege, two miles of Ding Zhuang plus more than 30 tolerances are enough. As for Zhao Laohu's application for recruitment, this is obviously against Master Yao.

Thinking of Master Yao, Tang Cheng slowly spoke: "Speaking of which, the mountain bandits of Erlongzhai are really weird, although they occupied Pingtou Peak two years ago, they were just to evade taxes, and they didn't go down the mountain to do looting work!" Speaking of which, in addition to not paying grain, it is no different from other farmers. As soon as Zhang County Lingfu took office, they were like a different person, carrying a hoe and rushing down the mountain to become bandits, this change was so sudden that it was really incomprehensible."

Regarding this statement, Zhao Laohu just listened, and after listening to it, he just smiled, but still didn't say anything. Seeing this, Tang Cheng pursed his lips and continued: "In addition to this, there is something even more incomprehensible, Erlongzhai's refusal of Zhang County's two successive Zhao'an is too simple, if you say that the first refusal is nothing, after all, there must be a process of price temptation, which is still said in the past." But how to explain this second time, resolutely refused when Zhang County's order offered such a high price, and there was no intention of bargaining, could it be that the people of Erlongzhai were really stupid and didn't know what the consequences of refusal were? After receiving Zhao'an, they are good people, but they want to continue to do bandits at the risk of being encircled and suppressed by the government, so they like to do bandits so much? ”。

"Twists and turns, twists and turns, reading people are trouble", Zhao Laohu stopped, "What do you want to say?" ”。

Tang Cheng didn't say anything more this time, and said with Zhao Laohu's eyes: "There is a problem here!" ”。

"Okay! is worthy of being the person chosen by my second daughter, not only has a long aura, but also a good brain", seeing Tang Cheng's solemn face, Zhao Laohu was hesitant, "Just think about it yourself, don't talk about it, including the Zhang County Order you followed."

Zhao Laohu really thought of it, but his current performance really puzzled Tang Cheng, "This ......."

"Since you think of it, you will be on guard against what you should beware, and it is enough to do this step. There are some things that can't be said, once you say it, you will tear your face, that is, you will completely cut off the way back", Zhao Laohu walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back, and his voice was as plain and solid as ever, "Erlongzhai will definitely be able to be suppressed before September?" Zhang will definitely be able to beat Yao? You are just a knife and pen, although you follow Zhang County's order, but fundamentally speaking, how different is it from other scribes in the yamen? Lao Yao is a big-minded person, maybe he really takes you, a ninth-class official, to heart from time to time? Then he must not die of exhaustion! ”。

At this time, there was silence in the county office, which had long since dispersed, and Zhao Laohu's deep voice hit Tang Cheng's heart word by word, "As long as I am still in the position of county lieutenant, this battle method is that Lao Yao will not do anything to you if he wins in the end", at this point, Zhao Laohu looked sideways at Tang Cheng, who was a little dazed, and after a moment of silence, he smiled faintly and said: "This is the way to retreat, understand?" But once the words you just said get out, it will be tearing Lao Yao's face! Don't talk about Lao Yao, do you know what I will do if someone tears my face? ”。

"What to do?".

"Whoever wants to tear my face, I will kill him", although Zhao Laohu is already fifty-two years old, although he is wearing an eight-grade official robe, but when he says this, the fierceness on his face flashes is more frightening than when he was a bully with a big green skin when he was young.

Such ruthlessness is fleeting, and Zhao Laohu, who walked forward with two hands behind his back, became a warm and gentle elder again, and he was earnestly teaching the younger generation, "Since you have entered the yamen, and you also want to mix a little bit in the yamen, you must keep two points in mind." First, never bet your future on someone, and always remember to leave a way out for yourself. There are many moths and strange things in this glamorous yamen, unless the case is officially finalized, otherwise there is nothing strange about the thousand-year-old king turning over; The second point is that if you are not 100% sure, don't tear people's faces casually. People live with a face, and if you tear other people's faces, others will fight with you."

Today's lesson of Zhao Laohu was too shocking for Tang Cheng, and it was difficult for him to absorb all what Zhao Laohu said in this short period of time, "Those two dragon villages...... There is also Yao's main book......".

"Erlongzhai...... Isn't I, the county lieutenant, in charge of catching thieves? Zhang County, as the leader of a county, should pay attention to this matter, right? He is a superior, if he commands him to come down, how can I not do it? When Zhao Laohu chuckled and said these words as a matter of course, Tang Chengzhen felt that his smile was very similar to the old foxes in the classic TV series in later generations. Well? What's wrong, don't leave yet? ”。

Tang Cheng didn't speak for the rest of the journey, but Zhao Laohu's words just now kept churning in his head, so much so that he was a little suspicious that when he sent the marriage letter to the Li family, he was entrusted by Zhang County's order to have that long talk with Zhao Laohu, and whether Zhao Laohu said that he was willing to cooperate with Zhang County's order.

There was no word all the way, until the two walked outside the yamen to part ways, Tang Cheng finally asked: "What is the matter of Erlongzhai......

"You, after all, are still too young, xìngzi is too real! I should do my best to encircle and suppress Erlongzhai, not to mention those who have and don't have in the future, just as a county lieutenant, this guy and bandits are so noisy, this is tearing my face! Zhao Laohu turned around and patted Tang Cheng's shoulder when he raised his foot, "You are young and have a good brain, you are a scholar in the official school, and now you have help to borrow, if you can understand some truths earlier, no matter how bad you are in the future, you will be better than me, and I will be relieved that my second daughter will follow you." Think about it."

After Zhao Laohu finished speaking, he slapped Tang Cheng twice on the shoulder again, and then turned around. Seeing his figure disappear into the night sè of the distant street, Tang Cheng didn't move for a long time.

For Tang Cheng, the true and the false have never been so vague as today, and there have never been so many variables as today, the two concepts of truth and falsehood, which were originally diametrically opposed, are so close that it seems that as long as you pierce that layer of paper, the true becomes false, and the false becomes true.

Standing on the cross street paved with granite outside the yamen, Tang Cheng was silent for a long time before he began to walk towards his residence again.

Walking under his feet, he suddenly thought of the too illusory couplet in the first chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions":

When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.

When he first saw this couplet in later generations, he was still a teenager, and when he saw this couplet, he thought he understood the meaning of the sentence; It wasn't until after graduating from college that he saw these two sentences again after the goldfish suddenly left, and he realized that the so-called understanding before was simply a false understanding; Just today, at this moment, when he remembered these two sentences again after traveling through 1,300 years to the Tang Dynasty, Tang Cheng realized that after experiencing the disillusionment of the goldfish's departure, he still couldn't really understand the meaning of these two sentences.

Some words are like many famous sayings handed down from the people, familiar to the ear, passed down from generation to generation, familiar to sound like nonsense, no need to explain to understand. But only after experiencing some special encounters, will you understand that those rotten sayings that originally thought that the scum of the soil were so word-for-word, golden and good words, the so-called understanding and understanding in the past were just young and frivolous jokes.

When Tang Cheng returned to his residence, Yue'er had already jumped on the treetops, and the people waiting for him at the gate were still looking out at Lan Cao'er, "It's so late to come back today, I'm tired today?" ”。

Tang Cheng squeezed the hand of the blue grass, and his flying thoughts finally came out of the two too illusory couplets in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and there was a real warmth in his heart, "Huh? ”。

"Your face is a little bad", because it is too late, Lancao can only see his face clearly if he is as close to Tang Cheng as possible, "And the god is not good".

Hearing this, Tang Cheng, who took Lancao's hand and walked home, replied with a smile: "Yes, I'm tired!" ”。

When he was about to step into the door of the mansion, Tang Cheng glanced back at the direction where the county government was located in the night, and muttered to himself like a mosquito ant, "I'm so tired!" ”。

Because Tang Cheng didn't come back, Tang Zhang's family waited for him without eating, and after Lan Cao'er was ready to freshen up, she went to the stove room to inform the Gao family to start preparing meals.

What Lan Cao'er could see, Tang Zhang's could see it more clearly, although Tang Chengguo deliberately rubbed his face with his hands when he entered the door, he couldn't hide it, "Cheng'er, are you tired today?" This face doesn't look very good."

"There are a lot of things in the yamen, and I am indeed a little tired", Tang Cheng didn't let Tang Zhang look at it any more, and after finishing speaking, he picked up a handkerchief and washed his face.

"Cheng'er, you are now in the county office, and you have also got your errands, Yiniang said that the schoolwork should be put away, how much is it enough to study? It's enough, you see that you are full all day and night now, how can you stay up after a long time", Tang Zhang's eyes naturally fell on the pile of books on the side as he spoke, these books were collected from Tang Cheng's study, "Your father and I don't want you to be a big official, just keep this errand and live a peaceful life, you are suffering like this, in case your body is broken, how can it be good?" ”。

Seeing that Tang Zhang's face was full of worry as he spoke, Tang Cheng straightened up with a watery face and said with a smile: "Mother, it's okay, then there is such a scorpion tiger as you said, and the yamen is not so busy every day." As for schoolwork, isn't being idle also idle?"

Since entering the door, Tang Xuan's gaze has never left his son, "Your mother said that it is good to let you pay attention to your body, what is the most important thing about people from Zhuang families?" It's not a big animal, it's not the ground, it's just this body and bones, as long as you have a good body, the livestock, the land, and so on can be put up. You're not too young now, you should learn to take care of yourself and take care of yourself."

"Dad, I know, I'm pretty good."

"Yes! Pay attention to the body, this is your mother is not wrong, but you can't listen to the words in the back", Tang Xuan ignored Tang Zhang's face next to him, and looked at Tang Chengdao: "Chéng Rén is uncomfortable!" Can those who are born in a family be afraid of suffering and suffering? As for studying, you can't listen to your mother, you are working in the yamen, this study is the same as the crop style of doing farm work uphill, you see who in the village thinks their crops are too good? Good skills can grow good crops, and the more you study, the better the work in your hands will be. If you listen to your mother and lose all the ways to eat, then you shouldn't be able to hold the rice bowl."

"What Dad said is", seeing that Tang Zhang's two people were right, Tang Cheng, who had finished freshening up, also went to the table and sat down, "I must take care of my body, and at the same time, I don't dare to forget the way to eat and read the book well."

"Well, you are still young, you just went to the yamen to make a job, but you don't dare to save the idea of messing with the world, you look at what kind of two bastards in the village who can't afford to pick up a hoe, who can afford it?" , Tang Xuan didn't look at Tang Zhang's at all when he spoke, "Besides, the quality of your work is not only related to your own job, but also other people's faces."

It is rare for Tang Xuan to have such an opportunity to speak at length, and such an indirect bickering between the two is even more rare. At this time, Tang Zhang, who was silent and silent, was talking endlessly, while Tang Zhang, who was relatively more able to speak, sat on the side with a calm face, occasionally glancing at the man in charge, Tang Cheng, who was sitting on the side, felt both funny and warm at the same time.

There is not only care and love, but also a little friction, which is the norm in every family! Mutual humility is certainly a manifestation of family warmth, but what about small frictions like the current one that hold their own opinions for the sake of their son's life?

Tang Chengzheng silently tasted and enjoyed the warmth of this family, and when he heard Tang Xuan suddenly say such a sentence, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Those villages near us have produced a county student like you in the past ten years, if there is no old master Yan, Lin Xuezheng and the appreciation of the county lord, with the foundation of our family, you can go to the county school, and you can enter the county government to serve the rice bowl of the imperial court? It's him Liu Lizheng, who also has the affection to build a board for you."

After saying so much in a row, Tang Xuan's mouth was also a little dry, and when he picked up the teacup in front of him, he found that there was no tea in it, and he didn't take the teapot to pour it again, so he took the teacup in front of Tang Zhang's and drank it in one go, "You have to remember the kindness of these people, and if you have the ability to pay it back in the future, you will pay it back, and now since you can't pay it back, you should work hard in the yamen." If you want to do a really bad job, not only do others have to say you, but even Lin Xuezheng and the county lord have to be poked in the backbone, Cheng'er, you are about to get married, and you are going to be a man who is going to set up a household, if you really get to this point, what face will you have. People don't dare to forget their roots in their lives, we can't pay back the affection of others now, can we do such a forgetful thing again? ”。
