He Zhixian was furious, opened the sedan curtain, and glanced at the guards outside, meaning to find out the guy who said cool words.

The official naturally understood, and after a while, he pulled out two middle-aged people dressed in cloth.

He Zhixian pointed to one of the short men and said, "Did you accuse this official just now?" ”

The short middle-aged man was not annoyed when he saw that he was pulled out, and stepped forward to hug a fist and said, "I am exaggerating the ...... of the previous wrongs."

"Fart!" He Zhixian took a sip, and directly wanted to jump down from the car window and slap the other party, "During his tenure, this official has always fulfilled his duties, who are you, why do you want to confuse the public?" If you can't answer, I will sue you for insulting the court officials and contempting the Song criminal law, and you will be punished! ”

When the middle-aged man heard the punishment, his face was calm, and he said, "Lord Hui, here is the butler of the gentleman in the back." ”

"Housekeeper......" He Zhixian stroked his beard and mocked, "You manage a big family so well, even the county is in charge." ”

"I just heard some rumors below, and they all got it from this bag." The middle-aged man said, and then took out a silk brocade bag with golden rust trim from his sleeve.

"Hand it to me." He Zhixian squinted his eyes, took the bag presented by the officer, and thought that this heavy one, if it was gold and silver ingots, pearls and jade, it would be regarded as the two of them who knew each other softly and spared each other for the time being.

When I opened the bag, I saw that it was a wooden token. At this time, the noon sun shined through the sedan curtain and slanted into the sedan car, which confused He Zhixian's eyes for a while, making his eyes purple halo, and after a while, he looked at it again, but he was shocked - the token was engraved with a string of gold seal characters of "Qingzhou Governor Shi Quanzhi Observation and Push Official Wu Ting".

When He Zhixian saw those four words, his heart beat suddenly, his eyes were in a hurry, and he immediately rolled off the sedan chair.

The officials next to him were all stupid, and when they saw their county magistrate getting out of the sedan chair with all four feet on the ground, looking ugly and funny, they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

"Next...... The lower officials didn't know that the adults had arrived, and they missed the distance. ”

He Zhixian knelt on the ground and said, just now he was calm and relaxed, but now he was trembling and stammering. As the saying goes, the official is the first rank of the official to crush people, but the people are older than their own three grades, and the post behind them is in charge of the state-level prison.

This Wu Changshi bowed down, led the middle-aged man behind him and said, "He Zhixian, I'm just a housekeeper, have you seen the master behind me?" ”

Beads of sweat from the soybeans in He Zhi County dripped down from his forehead, fell to the ground and broke into several petals, and he didn't dare to lift his head on the ground. This Changshi master claims to be a housekeeper, so there is no need to mention the middle-aged man in the back.

He lifted his robe and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official greets the king of Zhizhou!" ”

This time the superiors and subordinates met, and for He Zhixian, it was not embarrassing. He made amends all the way and invited Wang Su to his county office to sit for a while.

Wang Su changed into a purple official robe and sat in the back hall of the Fei County Government sipping tea. Seeing He Zhixian kneeling in front of him like a poor plucked chicken, he refused to get up, and said helplessly: "Your county, please get up, don't be polite." ”

"Humble duty has eyes but no beads, there are eyes but no beads!" He Zhixian was trembling all over, and he couldn't help but peek at Wang Su, this adult had a wide mouth and a wide nose, his eyes were as fixed as a rock, and there was a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows, even if he was dressed in casual clothes and coarse cloth, he was different from ordinary people's temperament.

Hey, why didn't you recognize yourself in the crowd of onlookers?

"He Zhixian, do you regret that you didn't recognize me just now?" Wang Su saw through the other party's mind at a glance.

"yes...... Oh, yes...... Oh...... No...... It's not" He Zhixian wanted to please Wang Su, but he didn't know how to answer, so he was so anxious that his face changed color.

"He Zhi County ......" Wang Su's tone was soothing but unswerving, "You and I are both Jinshi and first, both are protégés of the Son of Heaven, and they have been the parents of one side by the Holy Family, and they are the shepherds of the other side on behalf of the Son of Heaven." This responsibility...... It's heavy. Instead of worrying about how to prevent private visits from your superiors, you should do your part well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that you can sleep peacefully. ”

He knows that the county kowtows like pounding garlic, how dare he say no words.

Wang Su asked He Zhixian to get up and sit in the second seat, and when he saw the other party's frightened eyes, he comforted again: "This official knows the military affairs of Qingzhou, and he is in charge of all important military and political affairs. When I first arrived under the rule, I was not familiar with all parties in the state, so I did a micro-service touch. ”

"He knows the county, this official knows that when the water is clear, there are no fish." Wang Su said, "As for your ridiculous things in the past, I won't be held accountable." From now on, I hope that Gui County can re-manage government affairs, benefit the people, and give an explanation to the 3,000 households in Fei County. ”

Wang Su is worthy of being a member of the Beijing Ministry, and he has been a member of the imperial history, and his speech is both rigid and soft, and he knows that the old face of the county is red. When He Zhixian heard this, he was slightly relieved, he knew that Wang Su must be in a bad mood when he was degraded, so he arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang knows right from wrong, and the lower officials have benefited a lot." Xiaguan thinks that Lord Wang will not know Qingzhou for too long this time, and His Majesty will definitely get up early to reuse the Lord. ”

When Wang Su heard this, he put the tea cup back on the table, sighed slightly, his face showed some melancholy, and he thought of Ouyang Xiu, Yu Jing and other colleagues, who knelt on the ground in the Chongzhen Hall together to admonish, asking the king to reform and fight side by side for the future of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

He Zhixian was also infected by this emotion, and couldn't help wiping his tears. He knew that Wang Su was a well-known Qing official in the Beijing Dynasty, impeaching this and admonishing that all day long, and he was upright, and when he arrived in Qingzhou, he was afraid that his good days would come to an end. Thinking that he would have to get up early to manage politics before the time of the day, He Zhixian was also very sad.

"Alright, alright." Wang Su didn't know how to know the county's thoughts, thinking that he was changing his past, "There is one thing about your county that is quite satisfactory to the official." ”

"Oh?" He Zhixian said in surprise.

"Four words -- know people and make good use of them." Wang Su said with a smile, "For example, today's case, there was no clue, but you know how to appoint sages." ”

"Your Excellency...... This case was solved by the lower officials after exhausting their brains......"

Wang Su glanced at He Zhixian: "Really?" ”

"This ......" He Zhixian frowned slightly, and couldn't resist the pressure to surrender his gun, "Your Excellency is aware of everything, and your humble duties are beyond your reach." This case was indeed not solved by a lower official, and it was a man named Liu Ming. ”

"En......" Wang Su said, "I think this person is young and promising, quick-witted, and teachable. You can carry him a lot and share the pressure of your government affairs, which can be regarded as employing people as virtuous and good. ”

Wang Su's words couldn't be clearer, it means that you know that someone likes to sleep lazily and doesn't want to take care of affairs, but when you go to the prostitute, you have to have someone in charge of things for you in the county office, and the prostitute has no mistake in official business, understand?

He Zhixian said respectfully: "Follow the teachings of Shangfeng." ”

……

At night, the clouds are low and the stars are dim.

Liu Ming sat in front of the desk and read the case. There are several case files in the corner of the desk, as well as a cup of tea, steaming hot.

He Zhixian was still very polite to himself, probably in the name of Xie Yuan. not only provided himself with an elegant inner hall to take care of official duties, but also selected a few subordinates to be sent by himself.

Although He Zhixian did not give himself too many tasks, Liu Ming still transferred the criminal and prison case files of the county government in the past few years to check it.

The more Liu Ming understands the operation of the county government, the more he feels that this is different from what he imagined before. What a glorious era in history when the rule of Renzong was, great writers and poets emerged in endlessly, everyone sat in rows, ate fruits, and recited poems.

However, in Fei County in Qingzhou, he did not feel the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty Bianjing, the elegant poems of the scholars and literati, the flowing water, etc., but felt a deep sense of disharmony in the county.

At present, he is in contact with officials, Yang Liwu eats and takes cards, and Wu is pretending to be deaf and dumb. Although He Zhi County is better, it seems to be better, but he is also a playful master, listening to operas, singing songs, and shopping in the market, anyway, he always does not stay in the county office.

Without Bao Qingtian's Fei County, it is indeed a big challenge to get rid of Yang Liwu.

The lesser of two evils. At present, I can only try to win the trust of He Zhi County. He believed that as long as he had sufficient evidence and grasped the contradiction between the foreign official and the local snake, he would definitely be able to get rid of Yang Liwu.

While Liu Ming was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Ming pushed open the door and saw a thin yellow face, glowing with a seeping blue light in the moonlight.

"Lord Yang...... Uncle Yang, you're here. Liu Ming is ready to start the actor mode again, showing respect on his face.

"Well, are you still diligent and studious?" Yang Liwu stepped in, carrying his hands behind his back, walking back and forth in the inner hall, his eyes swept over the case file on the table, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Uncle Yang, you haven't rested yet?" Liu Ming asked.

"You're all forgetting to sleep and eat, we don't dare to be idle." Yang Liwu smiled gloomily.

"Look at what you said, I'm not curious about the operation of this county government." Liu Ming scratched his scalp.

"Ming'er......" Yang Liwu lifted his robe and sat down, "this time...... You have solved this case well, and the magistrate asked me to send you a message, I want to give you more tasks and try your ability. ”

"Oh?" Liu Ming poured a cup of tea for Yang Liwu.

"Now, there are three missions for you to choose from. One of them is to put you in charge of the next few important prison cases. Yang Liwu raised two fingers and said, "Second, let you be in charge of the inventory of the armory." The third is the construction of a canal in the east of the city. These three things, the magistrate said, you can choose whichever you want. Yang Liwu sighed, "Hey, we old guys don't have this blessing." ”

Yang Liwu stared at Liu Ming with a pair of snake eyes, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and said with deep meaning: "How do you choose these three jobs, how do you make adults satisfied, and make your colleagues in the county happy, this is a high-level job." ”

Yang Liwu had something to say, and Liu Ming had to think carefully.

He guessed that his entry into the county government was somewhat fearful for Yang Liwu. Now the other party must also be testing his own purpose.

These three jobs were transferred by Yang Liwu to himself, which shows that at present, He Zhixian still trusts him very much.

Liu Ming recalled that when Yang Liwu came in just now, he showed a dissatisfied expression on the case file on his desk, and it seemed that the other party was very disgusted with his access to the previous case files. This Yang Liwu, as a canonical history, firmly controls the arrest and prison in charge of the county, and must not want others to read his old accounts again.

In this case, this second task is also not an option. The armory is also Yang Liwu's area of responsibility. If you just arrived at the county government and took over several responsibilities of the other party, would you still be able to mix it up?

"Uncle Yang, I want to ...... I solved this case, and it was also a moment of luck, and it was not material in this regard. It's better to choose that to build a canal. I have also helped the mountain people build roads and bridges before, and I am still interested in the water conservancy aspects of this river canal. ”

Hearing this, Yang Liwu's condensed face finally showed a relaxed expression. He bowed his head and said, "Yes, you have built roads and bridges before. He is also an expert in this area and will definitely be able to come in handy. ”

He stood up and smiled: "Ming'er, you are very smart, I am very satisfied." Tomorrow night, Hengyang Tea House, I will be the east, everyone will taste tea, taste river fresh, and by the way, visit colleagues in the county. It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. ”

Liu Ming sent the other party away and closed the door. I thought to myself, I would never pay attention to this matter of building a canal. On the contrary, for those case files that Yang Liwu had intervened in, it is necessary to start an immediate investigation and strive to pull out his fox tail as soon as possible.
