Chen Zhixian asked Li You to select his cronies and soldiers to act as the upcoming patrol of the imperial history guard, and by the way, the intention of monitoring made Li Patrol think about it. Because Li You has only been in the inspection department for two months, he has a nouveau riche mentality and loves to be an official and a master, not a good example of being approachable and sharing the joys and hardships with the soldiers, if he wants to find absolutely reliable people, he really can't think of a few.

But there is always a way, his patrol department, the team and the scribes, miscellaneous servants and so on are all hired all year round, but ordinary soldiers are all recruited from the county to serve, if there is a family, it is not in this place. Li inspected the inspection department, summoned all the soldiers with families, and informed: "This official Nianer and others are not allowed to reunite with their families, and they are allowed to elect 20 people, and their wives can be called to come to this department for a month, and the rations and accommodation will be arranged by this department." ”

There was thunderous cheers and shouts of good governance. Twenty were selected in a short time.

Li You also instructed: "Tomorrow, I will pick up my wife before noon, and then the official will appoint an errand of ten people, and every other day I will take turns to do errands, and I will take a vacation to reunite every other day." ”

With these family members as hostages in the inspection department, the people sent should always be absolutely reliable, Li Inspector thought darkly.

In fact, in Inspector Li's heart, Chen Zhixian and Ma Yushi did not deal with each other, he couldn't behave positively, even if he wanted to befriend Chen Zhixian, there was no need to be cannon fodder to offend Qin Cha Yushi to death. In the crooked novels I read in my last life, how many negative little characters can't recognize reality and their own weight, and they are brave enough to offend the protagonist to death, and in the end, they all fell into bad luck and were killed by the protagonist decisively.

Therefore, Inspector Li told himself that he must learn from all kinds of anti-angle experience and recognize his own positioning. I think that Ma Xun is really not a vegetarian, and he has a strong protagonist temperament like Chen Zhixian, and he is a jinshi in his twenties. Besides, there are not a hundred but eighty officials in the science and technology, and this surnamed Ma can stand out, and with the shallow qualifications of the new science and technology jinshi last year, he is the patrol of the richest area in the world, Li Youcai does not believe that he has no background, so it is better to make less trouble.

was sent by Chen Zhixian to be called a guard to monitor, and when the time comes, he will see that both sides of the move are fooled, but he must be careful to beware of Cui Jiansheng making a mistake, and Li You secretly made a plan.

But he said that Ma Xun was according to Ma Yushi, and he and Chen Zhixian were originally the same scholars last year, and they were both famous young and handsome in that department, but they had a grudge for some reason. Now Ma Yushi was ordered to inspect Jiangnan, but he and the two subordinate officials he brought were all northerners, so he went to Nanjing Guozijian first, preparing to find a southerner who was familiar with the situation to join him. It just so happened that Cui Jiansheng was not only a native of Xujiang, but also had rich experience in history, so he was favored by Ma Yushi and asked him to follow him as a subordinate official.

Ma Yushi's first stop to Suzhou is not strange, the administrative system in the Jiangnan region is very complex and changeable compared with other places, I will not repeat it here, as long as you know that Suzhou is not a provincial government, not the capital of the capital. But Ma Yushi arrived in Suzhou and stationed in the procuratorate, and before a day's work, he went straight to Xujiang County non-stop, which is very eye-catching and imaginative.

Chen Zhixian received Ma Yushi very decently, and fully achieved neither humility nor arrogance, and was thrifty.

Li You, who was born at the bottom, was afraid that he would be rude in front of the Qincha, so he secretly borrowed a copy of "Etiquette for Going on Patrol" from the county government and carried it with him, so he flipped through it when he had time. Seeing that the pick-up, meeting, offering, and ceremonial arrangements arranged by Chen Zhi County are very in line with the standards stipulated in the law - the pick-up and drop-off does not talk about pomp, but only goes to the county yayimen; Do not grovel when meeting, and abide by the rules of worshipping each other left and right; The offering is not extravagant, four dishes and one soup and pen and ink firewood; The etiquette also stipulates that after the first meeting, the magistrate is not allowed to go to the private meeting to patrol the press, and Chen Zhixian really did not go to Ma Yushi again.

Li Xunjian looked at the facts on the side, and then compared them with the book, and found that all the procedural standards could no longer be standardized, which can be called a model case that can be used in textbooks.

However, although the reception was perfect in compliance with the regulations and requirements, is this a normal situation? It can only be said that everything is not in words.

If someone has to think that this is normal, then you can congratulate him on having a young and dreamy childlike heart, which is very worthy of envy.

Xujiang County set up a courtyard in the county mansion as a temporary residence for Ma Yushi and his party. In addition, there were 20 soldiers in the county, fully armed, divided into two shifts to take turns guarding. Inspector Li also gave special instructions to pay strict attention to a person surnamed Cui.

After making a round, Li You was about to go back to his room to rest, but was stopped. Turning his head to look, it was not that the enemies did not get together, it was Cui Jing and Cui Jiansheng, and now it may be called Mr. Cui. If Cui Jing hadn't leaned on the Imperial History, Li You would have started to rectify him a long time ago.

"Master Li, how about a gathering in the next east?" Cui Jingzuo invited.

Li You was vigilant, so he naturally refused to agree, and excused himself and said, "I'm tired today, so I won't bother." ”

Cui Jing didn't care, and invited again: "Can you go in with you?" ”

Li You wanted to hear what he had to say, but he definitely refused to step into the dangerous place, who knew what preparations he had, so he said: "Qinchacha Yuan, don't dare to enter lightly." If you have something to say, I'll say it here. ”

Cui Jing ignored Li You's coldness, and apologized again: "There were many offenses in the lower part of the last month, so I apologize here, and I hope that the adults will not remember the villain." "The attitude was genuine.

This made Li You wonder, what kind of person Cui Jing was, he inquired very clearly. A greedy person who has found a backer sincerely apologizes to you, that can only mean one thing, and doing so makes him more profitable. Nothing to be courteous, either annihilation or theft. "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, Mr. Cui doesn't have to care." Li You softened his face, and said hypocritically that he was going to speak first.

"That's exactly what happened!" Cui Jing seemed to have found a common topic: "The last time that matter bumped into each other, I didn't know the adults below, and the old man Guan was a confused and ignorant person, you and I had a lot of misunderstandings, but in fact, it was not worth worrying about it." Please also come in to drink tea and apologize for it. ”

Of course, Li You refused to go in, and excused himself for the third time: "Where is the duty, don't dare to trespass, please forgive me." ”

Cui Jing saw that he really couldn't invite Li You in, so he looked left and right, there was no one else nearby, and said in a low voice: "Li Xunjian has written that the group fan is only living in the upper reaches, and he has relatives in his heart, and now there is an opportunity in front of him, Master Li should not miss it." ”

Is this to lobby to buy me? Could it be that there is a hint of Ma Yushi behind it? Li You calmed down and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Cui Jing thought that Li You was moved, after all, who doesn't want a bright future, so he hurriedly said: "Does Master Li know what this Ma Xun is doing?" He was recruited as a son-in-law by Yuan Ge after he won the Jinshi last year, isn't such a person worthy of you and me to follow? ”

Li You scolded in his heart, but he was not surprised, he was mentally prepared for the origin of Ma Xun's press. He scolded because of jealousy, people are more popular than people, and he is also a son-in-law who eats soft rice, and the gap between himself and Ma Xun is too big in comparison. One is the nine-product inspection, and the other is from the old ... Who's the main character?

It is said that this horse patrol came to Jiangnan, which is not as simple as a personal grudge, but involves a little situation between Yuan Ge Lao and Xu Shangshu. Ma Xun is ready to make meritorious contributions in front of the new and old fathers-in-law, and he wants to take Xujiang Chen Zhixian, who Xu Shangshu regards as his nephew, as a handle.

Although Cui Jing didn't understand the inside story of the background, he probably knew the purpose of Ma Xun's visit to Xujiang. In order to behave in front of Ma Xunji and find a good way out in the future, he volunteered to lobby Li You, a confidant of the magistrate. In his opinion, Li You has no reason to stubbornly fight against the old son-in-law of the pavilion for the sake of a mere county.

After Li You learned Cui Jing's purpose, he shook his head and said: "I understand what Mr. Cui means, but Chen Xianzun has the grace of knowing me, and I can't be ungrateful." ”

According to the usual practice, Cui Jing said that "good birds choose trees to perch".

Patrol Li is also very difficult to do, he definitely doesn't want to do the betrayal of Chen Zhixian, and how can he give up easily after investing so much in the early stage. But this Ma Xun is too big, and his body is too small, he is really a little unbearable, thinking about it is still a word, embarrassed! I can't help but sigh that hugging the thighs is not so easy to hold, and the thicker the thighs, the greater the risk it may incur.

Cui Jing paused and said: "Master Li has nothing to hesitate about, you don't want to take it!" Isn't it clear which is more important between the county and the elder? ”

Li You glanced at the person opposite, and suddenly thought of a question, why do I make myself embarrassed here, but you can be happy and don't know anything.

"Don't miss the opportunity!"

Li You was silent.

"The big husband should be decided! What else is there to hesitate about! Cui Jing was almost speechless.

Li You opened his mouth again and asked, "Mr. Cui, do you know who Chen Xianzun's mentor is?" ”

Cui Jing said with a smile: "No matter who it is, can you be too old to be old?" ”

"It's Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials. Really, I don't lie to you, I still treat Chen Xianzun as a son. "Li You is very kind and doesn't hide it.

Mr. Cui, who has always been ignorant and fearless, immediately froze his face, and his mind was dizzy for a short time.

Li Inspector secretly inquired with Master Huang a few days ago, and learned that Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was extremely poor and miserable when he was young, and he was taken in by Chen Zhixian's father as a Xixi to study for the exam with peace of mind, and even his wife was found by the Chen family. A few years later, Mr. Xu became the enlightenment teacher of Chen Zhixian in his childhood, and then Mr. Xu became Xu Juren, Xu Jinshi, Xu Daren, and Xu Shangshu. All in all, the relationship between Chen Zhixian and Xu Shangshu is not much worse than that of father and son. Li You sighed again, who is the protagonist, Dad picked up a poor scholar who is the future secretary of the ministry.

The more Cui Jiansheng thought about it, the more sad he became, and he almost burst into tears for his situation, because his job search experience had been bad for several months. In order to make some money, the rich woman didn't get a dowry, and she was driven out of her hometown by local tyrants and bullies; It's easy to meet a backer in the darkness of life, thinking that there is hope for the future, but the opponent's background is the same, and he can't be provoked.

What is it that he has worked so hard to do for the horse patrol? Isn't it just to find a good position after going abroad? If you offend the official who is in charge of the black gauze hat, what is this? It is impossible for the elder to force the official book to arrange a seat for him, a person who can't beat the eight poles, maybe he will be beaten back to his hometown by brushing the whiteboard, so what else do he have? Is it useless to show the talent and pay tribute to the fame? In the end, he said that he helped people fight lawsuits? There is also constant direct retaliation from a patrol with a violent machine in hand.

Li You said again: "Mr. Cui, good birds choose trees to perch, and the husband should be decided!" ”

Cui Jingmuran, who had not yet returned to his senses, shook his head.

"I'm going to invite you to drink." Li You gradually developed some ideas, and the person in front of him could be used. Therefore, he held back his grudge for the time being, and pulled the depressed Cui Jing out.
