Jiangpu County is still as calm as usual, after a confrontation between the magistrate and the county for power, people have admitted this fact in their hearts, whether they want to or not, there are people in the city who have status and status, the squires have begun to change their courts, or directly or implicitly in various ways to show favor to Cao Yi, the Jiangpu official post has always been deserted for a while, very lively, people from all over the family with a worship post or a gift box in their hands have flocked to the place, waiting in line to be received by Cao Yi. On the contrary, the three halls of the county government and the houses of Huangzhi County, which were clustered with cars and horses in front of the door in the past, have become extremely deserted.

This is the way of the world, cold and warm is an inevitable process, "Jinling Yushu warbler dawn, Qinhuai water pavilion flowers bloom early, who knows that it is easy to freeze." ”

It is said that Xiao Fan should be proud, because the recent political situation in Jiangpu has changed hands, it is he who caused it, he is the biggest black hand hidden behind the scenes, except for Cao Yi, no one in the entire Jiangpu knows that all this is designed by a businessman's son-in-law, Cao Yi or Huang Zhixian has become a tool in Xiao Fan's hands to take advantage of the situation.

But Xiao Fan is not proud at all now.

As the saying goes, a wave of squares is flat, and a wave is rising.

He found himself in another trouble, and that trouble was a big one.

Thinking about the countless slaps he made on the head of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Fan couldn't help but be drenched in cold sweat.

This kind of behavior is more serious than touching the tiger's buttocks, and I shot a real dragon's head......

Xiao Fan has always wondered why when Zhu Yunwen's guards rushed over, he didn't let the guards chop him up, but stopped them, and later after calming down, Xiao Fan figured it out, which was related to Zhu Yunwen's surname.

The historical Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen is a benevolent and almost weak emperor, it is his weak and simple surname that he lost the country and was usurped by the emperor's uncle, so connected, it is normal for him not to cut himself on the spot, this is a truly benevolent emperor, in his eyes, he is just a person who does not know his identity, he will not care about himself because of this little thing.

Xiao Fan was very glad that it was not the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang he met that day, otherwise if he had slapped a few times on the top of his head, he would have taken Lao Zhu's tyrannical and murderous temper......

Despite this, Xiao Fan still had his thoughts for several days, for fear that after His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun returned to Beijing, he would come back to his senses, and felt that it was too cheap to let himself go like this, so what should he do if he sent someone to find the back account? History is just history, who knows what kind of person the real Zhu Yunwen is?

Tossing and turning, sleepless at night, Xiao Fan worried for several days, and finally decided to come to Cao Yi to discuss, he was the only officialdom he knew, maybe he could get a rough idea of the pulse of the imperial grandson.

There were a lot of people gathered in front of the official post, some carrying gift boxes, some holding prayer stickers, and the old servants around Cao Yi blocked the door indifferently and did not let people in, but those who gave gifts did not dare to show the slightest displeasure, but still smiled with a smile on their faces, and handed soft words to the old family servants, begging him to let him in.

Xiao Fan understood at a glance, this is another scene where the bribe giver dies and begs for nothing, and the bribe giver is dignified, after all, Emperor Hongwu hates corrupt officials, and if Cao Yi really does not refuse to give gifts, it is estimated that he will soon be sent to the Ministry of Ginseng, Cao Yi's fate can be imagined, but he blocked the bribe giver at the door in such a grand manner, and outsiders will feel that this county lord is honest and honest, giving people a good impression of a clean official.

Xiao Fan nodded secretly, Cao Yi is a person with brains, and he has not yet gotten carried away when he first took charge of Jiangpu, so he helped him push it in vain.

When Xiao Fan walked to the door of the official post, the old servant saw him, and when he came empty-handed, the old servant's eyes lit up, and his indifferent old face actually bloomed a little smile.

Xiao Fan arched his hand and said, "The grass people ask to see the county lord, and I hope that the old man will pass it on his behalf." ”

The old servant turned sideways and said softly: "The master has already instructed, if Xiao Gongzi comes to the door, you can find him by yourself, you don't need to pass it on, Xiao Gongzi is invited." ”

Xiao Fan froze, then rubbed his nose and smiled, facing the envious and jealous eyes of the people outside or visiting or giving gifts, Xiao Fan lifted his hem and stepped into the threshold of the official post.

The people who were blocked out loudly questioned the old servant.

"Who is this man? How can he go in and we can't? ”

The old servant closed his eyes, and Gu Jing Bubo said: "He is Xiao Fan Xiao's son, and he is even a friend of my master, of course you can go in." ”

Everyone was speechless, Xiao Fan, this name has been known to everyone in Jiangpu recently, and the two giants in the county are competing for each other, isn't it because of him? Throughout Jiangpu, who is more qualified than him to enter?

Xiao Fan entered the official post, and when he came to the courtyard outside Cao Yi's wing, he saw Cao Yi sitting at the stone table under the old locust tree in the courtyard reading a book.

Xiao Fan's eyes widened in surprise.

This was the first time he found that Cao Yi was holding a book in his hand, not a wine glass, which was amazing! Originally, Cao Yi was a reckless martial artist in his heart, at most a little more shrewd and sophisticated, but this time Cao Yi made him impressed, three said, no longer Wuxia Ameng, it seems that power is the best catalyst for men to work hard, Cao Yi, who was in charge of Jiangpu for the first time, now knows that he has to learn and progress, which is a good phenomenon.

Xiao Fan smiled with satisfaction, took two steps forward and bowed and said: "The grass people have seen Lord Cao, Lord Cao is in an official position and does not forget to study hard, he is really a model for my generation......"

Cao Yi raised his head, and then a smile bloomed on his rough bearded face: "It turned out to be Xiao Fan, hehe, who else did I say......

Raising the book in his hand, Cao Yi's eyes were full of expectation: "...... Come to me for a drink? ”

Xiao Fan's smile froze: "...... No. ”

"Why are you coming to me without drinking?"

Xiao Fan sighed, Cao Yi is still Cao Yi, holding a book like a wine bag and a rice bag......

"Your Excellency, ...... Ahem, aren't you reading? ”

Cao Yi paused, then glanced at the book in his hand with an unnatural expression, and hummed: "This...... Ahem, yes, this official is indeed reading......"

Xiao Fan stepped forward to take a look and said strangely: "Huh? Your Excellency, the book in your hand ......"

"What's wrong?"

“…… Take it down. ”

"Huh? Is it? Cao Yi looked at it, and then casually threw the book printed with "The Biography of the Spring and Autumn Zuo" in his hand, and with a whoosh, the book crossed a mournful arc and disappeared.

Xiao Fan was full of black lines: "............"

"What's that...... When the official heard the footsteps, he thought that an outsider had come to find the official, so he grabbed the book and came out to pose, but in fact, I wasn't reading a book, and I had a headache when I saw the book......"

"What was your lord doing just now?"

Cao Yi smiled, and took out a jar of wine from under the stone table as if he were juggling, as well as a roast chicken wrapped in oiled paper......

Xiao Fan was immediately deeply convinced.

The wine was all on the table, and of course Xiao Fan couldn't refuse, so he had to drink it with Cao Yi.

Fortunately, after knowing each other for a long time, Xiao Fan knew that the county lord who was born as a military general did not have any official status, and he really regarded him as a friend, so Xiao Fan didn't have to pretend to be a frightened look to disgust himself, the two sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting like a pair of old friends.

"How is the progress of the county government affairs taken over?"

Cao Yi grinned and said: "Yes, it's very smooth, Xie Zhushu, Li Dianshi, they are all very good, now the county's household registration, anti-theft, farming, taxes, water conservancy and other matters, they will no longer enter the three halls to present Huang Ruide, but directly report to me, by me to decide, Jiangpu's government affairs, I ...... in my hands"

"Congratulations to the lord for getting his wish, but Huang Zhixian is still the nominal magistrate, in response to the official document issued by the Tianfu, the new measures of the imperial court, the annual assessment of officials by the ministry, etc., it is still necessary to go through him first, the lord can not take it lightly now, it is best to think of a way to squeeze him away, the lord has completely confirmed the title of the magistrate, so as to show the ambition in the adult's chest."

"Haha, I will naturally save these, I won't hide it from you, as long as I actually master the government affairs of Jiangpu, the above ......" Cao Yi pointed mysteriously and whispered: "...... Naturally, someone above will take care of me, don't worry, Huang Zhixian can't be in Jiangpu for a few days. ”

Xiao Fan's heart tightened, who else would there be besides King Yan on the "above" that Cao Yi said?

King Yan cares so much about the power of Jiangpu County, what is his purpose? Jiangpu County is only an hour's journey away from the Jingshi, and it can be said that it is the last barrier to the west of the Gongwei Jingshi, could it be that the King of Yan has now begun to prepare for the usurpation? If King Yan waved his army south, when the officers and soldiers of the imperial court resisted, the barrier to the west of the Gongwei Beijing Division suddenly lost its effect and fell into the hands of King Yan......

Extend this idea a little further, the world is so big, from north to south, how many cities have been infiltrated by King Yan like this?

Xiao Fan sighed secretly in his heart, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen, compared to your imperial uncle, you are really too tender......

Xiao Fan didn't expect that he had made a plan by mistake, but he indirectly helped King Yan, causing Jiangpu to change hands, but this was unexpected, was this move right or wrong? Xiao Fan himself didn't know.

Cao Yi frothed at the mouth and said for a long time, and when he saw that Xiao Fan was speechless, he asked, "By the way, why are you coming to me today?" ”

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "I have troubles......"

Cao Yi suddenly looked enlightened: "Miss a woman?" ”

"Yes...... Yes! No, it's not ......" Xiao Fan hurriedly shook his head and denied it.

Cao Yi had the expression of a confidant brother: "I also came here at your age, I want to be a woman, and it's not a shameful thing, hey, I heard that you lived in Chen Siliu's house for four years, and that Chen Fat Man just dragged it and didn't let you marry his daughter, what does Chen Fat mean?" Do you want me to help you bang him? ”

"Ah, no, no, Chen Siliu mentioned getting married, but I pushed ......"

Cao Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay to push, the Chen family is a merchant, you are the son-in-law of his family, if you really become a relative to his daughter, you will completely become a merchant in the future, I have a rule that merchants are not allowed to go out, if you become a merchant, you can't be an official in the future, Brother Xiao, you are a talent, you will inevitably get ahead in the future, don't be blocked by the Chen family's future!" ”

Xiao Fan was moved, this is what a real friend said, for his own sake, for his own sake, from the inside to the outside.

"Thank you, Lord Jinyu, for your kind words......"

"Okay, don't be an adult, I'm older than you, call Brother Cao." Cao Yi laughed.

"Brother Cao......" Xiao Fan calmed down his emotions and said, "Actually, I came to you today, not because of the Chen family, but because of ......"

"And what?"

"Ahem, but I seem to be in trouble again......" Xiao Fan said embarrassedly.

Cao Yi's eyes straightened: "You're in trouble again?" Fuck it! I can't see that you look like Sven, but you're a troublemaker! Tell me, who did you mess with? The main book? Classical history? Or is it still Huang Ruide's old horseman? Don't be afraid, I can help you out......"

Xiao Fan was so embarrassed that sweat flowed out, and he said with a red face and uneasy: "This time I caused more trouble......

Cao Yi was stunned: "Bigger than Huangzhi County?" Oh, my God! Who the hell have you messed with? Could it be the Mansion Yin of the Jingshi? ”

"A little bigger......"

"The court-in-wait?" Cao Yi's tone changed slightly.

"Ahem, a little bigger......"

"Six Shangshu?"

Xiao Fan's face was almost hidden under the table: "...... A little bit bigger. ”

Cao Yi's face turned green, and he said frantically: "A little bigger, a little bigger, what are you blowing pig urine bubbles?" It's bigger than the six books, who did you provoke? ”

Xiao Fan blinked his eyes and looked at Cao Yi innocently, and said in a very innocent voice: "I accidentally slapped someone a few times, and later accidentally found out that the person I photographed was His Royal Highness the current imperial grandson......"

Cao Yi looked up at the sky, but was speechless: "............"
