Helped down from the carriage, standing in front of the gate of the Huating County Ya, looking at the old and dilapidated official office, Xu Jie sighed softly, how many years have he not set foot here? At least thirty or forty years, or even longer, right?

He still remembers that when he was still a young man, he started his career here with a vision for the future and ambitions - county examinations, government examinations, and hospital examinations; Township examination, meeting examination, palace examination; and then fought in the officialdom until he reached the pinnacle of his life, the starting point of all this is here, and it is the Huating County Government that is still in the same situation.

With the continuous improvement of his official position, it has become extremely rare for Xu Jie, not to mention coming to this county government again, or returning to Huating's hometown. And when he returned to his hometown, his identity was even more transcendent to the point where he could make all the officials in Jiangnan bow down, and he was naturally even more disdainful of this county government.

Not to mention that he came to the door specifically, even if the Huating County Commander wanted to see him Xu Jie, it was an extremely rare honor. Only earlier this year, because of family matters, he saw Yu Wenbin once, and it seemed that the other party was also stained with Yang Zhen's brocade guard.

But who would have thought that in just a few months, everything has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the master of the Xu family, who has always been high, will actually come to the county government to ask for each other one day. If someone had said this to Xu Jie a few months ago, if he hadn't been beaten out by the Xu family, he would have to be regarded as a madman and a fool.

But this is the truth, this is life, and the ups and downs are only in the mist.

Xu Ligong and several other servants of the Xu family were also quite bitter in their hearts at the moment, not only because the lord wanted to come here to ask for condescension, but also because the attitude of those people in the county government towards them at the moment was actually ignorant of them, and they didn't even look at them for a moment, just left a sentence and waited, and left.

How could they have ever been like this? In the past, when a small housekeeper came to the county office, he would be treated as a guest by the officials among them, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. But now, their own master is here, and they actually have the same attitude! What is the hot and cold state of the world, and the warmth of people, this time these people clearly felt it again.

After waiting for a while, everyone saw a large group of people greeted them under the leadership of a man in a cyan official robe, and at a glance, Xu Ligong and a few others recognized the identity of this person - the county commander Yu Wenbin!

The so-called enemies were very red when they saw each other, and when they saw Lin County's order, several Xu family slaves immediately hated each other, and just wanted to rush over and bite the other side. If it weren't for the constant embarrassment with the Xu family before Yi Wenbin, why would they be in such a situation! However, even if they have this mind at the moment, they don't have the guts, so they can only stare at the luck ahead with hatred.

It's Xu Jie, but he is a character who can afford to put it down. Even if there were some entanglements in identity and grievances, at this moment, the old man showed a smile on his face, and slammed it to the ground in front of him: "The old man Xu Jie, I have seen the county lord." At this moment, Xu Jie couldn't see the original momentum at all, and at the same time, he couldn't see the trembling, old appearance of Long Zhong before, and he seemed to be much more energetic all of a sudden.

Lu Wenbin looked at the former first assistant, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings, not only with respect for this senior, but also with hatred for the Xu family in the county. The boss has nothing but a summons to him, so why bother to come in person? ”

"Hehe, Lin County Ling is too polite, the old man is just a country old man now, and he really doesn't dare to be so big in front of adults." Xu Jie was busy and humble.

Really? Then how could you have such a big influence in Jiangnan before? It's just that the situation is different now, which is why it's so low-key. Thinking of these in his heart, Yu Wenbin said: "Look at the eyes of the lower official, the old man is old, how can he stand here for a long time, and please come into the yamen to speak." As he spoke, he took a step forward, grabbed Xu Jie's arm very respectfully, and led him inside.

After entering the county office, Xu Ligong and several other stewards and servants wanted to follow them into the hall, but they were stopped by those county officials: "Everyone, my family is talking to Master Xu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to follow along." ”

"You ......" The county officials who had always groveled to them before suddenly changed their faces at this moment, which made the Xu family very uncomfortable, and they couldn't help but be a little angry.

But the people of the county government on the opposite side didn't take their anger seriously at all, they just blocked their way, and there were even many officials on the side who were holding water and fire sticks and staring at them with malicious intentions, obviously as long as they dared to do anything out of the ordinary, these officials would not show mercy.

In this way, the slaves of the Xu family will be embarrassed, if they are strong, they will definitely not be the opponents of these people in the county government, but if they stop here, they will be a little unbearable. In the midst of a dilemma, Xu Jie, who was walking slowly inside, suddenly turned around: "You are all waiting outside, don't make trouble!" ”

"Yes......" With the words of the master, they finally had a step to go down, and quickly agreed to quit the county office. But even so, it was still exchanged for a burst of mocking laughter from the people of the county government. However, at this time, the Xu family no longer dared to confront the county government, so they could only retreat angrily.

And on this side, with the support of Yi Wenbin, Xu Jie finally walked into the signing room of the Ertang County Order, and after taking his seat, he sighed again: "When the old man first participated in the imperial examination, he also listened to the teachings of the county lord here, and this house looks no different from that time, but the old man has changed from the former vigorous to the gray-haired appearance now." ”

Regarding the old man's feelings, Lu Wenbin didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only sigh a few words by the side. Then, without too many greetings, he went straight to the point and asked, "I don't know why the boss suddenly came to my county office today?" He still had the official document from Songjiang Mansion hidden in his sleeve, but he didn't want to take it out just like that for the time being.

Xu Jie was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this county magistrate to be so unable to speak. Originally, when he said this, his intention was to get close to him and bring the relationship between the two sides closer. Unexpectedly, not only did he not react, but directly asked himself what he meant, which was completely contrary to the style of any officialdom he had ever come into contact with.

Is it because he is in this nature, or does he feel that he doesn't need to do anything about this bad old man like me anymore? Xu Jie's heart turned around with thoughts, but he said with some bitterness in his mouth: "The old man came here today in the hope that the county lord can help my Xu family." During this time, there were too many resentful mobs in the county attacking my Xu family's property. Most of our shops, tea mountains and other industries have been destroyed - of course, the old decay does not mean to blame the county government, these are the results of my Xu family's failure to cultivate virtue in the past. However, now they have even begun to beat the idea of my Xu family's house, and some people have even repeatedly come to the door to provoke and hurt my Xu family...... I hope that the county magistrate can come forward to stop the matter from continuing to deteriorate for the sake of Huating and the people! With that, Xu Jie struggled to get up from his seat again, and bowed respectfully to Yu Wenbin again.

Seeing that the old man in front of him was about to kneel down towards him, Yan Wenbin quickly jumped up from his seat and hugged Xu Jie: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, the lower officials really can't stand it." In fact, this official has heard about this just now, and it is true that those mobs have gone a little too far, and this official is planning to use what method to stop the further deterioration of the situation. ”

After being held by the county order, and hearing him say this, Xu Jie's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise. Although this county magistrate doesn't seem to know much about officialdom's way of socializing, he is obviously still very sensible, knowing that letting the people make such a fuss will certainly relieve their hatred and cause a lot of damage to the Xu family, but it will also have a very bad impact on himself.

Originally, Xu Jie had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but since the other party should make this matter, he didn't say it anymore, but gratefully bowed his hand to Wen Bin again: "The county lord can think about the people like this, it is really a blessing for the people of Huating County." ”

"It's just a gesture, Master Xu doesn't have to be like this." After helping Xu Jie back to his seat, Yu Wenbin suddenly showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

He could see that although Xu Jie looked quite energetic on the surface, the old man's body and bones were already extremely poor, should he tell the truth at this time, would this make him overly frightened and what would happen?

Lin Xian Ling is not a person with a deep city, and what he thinks in his heart is easy to reveal on the surface. On the other hand, he is an old and sophisticated officialdom veteran, who is the most good at observing words and feelings. As soon as he saw him like this, Xu Jie knew that he had something to say, so he said tentatively: "I don't know if the county lord still needs to mention anything to the old man, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Seeing him say this, Lu Wenbin was not so entangled, so he said: "It's not a secret, in fact, even if the boss doesn't come today, our county will no longer stand by and watch this matter, and I plan to stop all this." ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Xu Jie asked a little strangely.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense, just because, Songjiang Mansion just came to an official document about the Xu family." As he spoke, Yu Wenbin took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Jie.

Seeing this, Xu Jie's heart was inexplicably throbbing and tightening. But he still took the paperwork with a slightly trembling old hand, and squinted at the old eyes again. At this sight, his cheeks began to tremble, and then his eyes closed, his legs loosened, and he fell directly from the chair......
