139 I am a corrupt official, who am I afraid of?

When Xiao Buyi was groaning, he heard a voice coming from the door, "You Shaoqing is not there on the left, and the right one is gone, and today you are finally willing to see us, but you know that the emperor is ......."

"Bite the gold." One of them let out a low snort.

"I mean, today you Shaoqing know that the emperor boss is not satisfied, but he is afraid that he will be punished, so he has to see us today, right?"

Xiao Buyi smiled, and the two people who came were of course Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin. Qin Shubao is very calm and thoughtful, thoughtful, although Cheng Biting Jin is a big grin, but he is thick and fine, and he can always justify himself, it seems that it is not easy for someone to control himself, and a person like Cheng Biting Jin asked him to shut up, which was more uncomfortable than cutting off his head.

Standing up and greeting him, Xiao Buyi arched his hand and said, "You two have worked hard, please sit down." ”

Cheng Biting Jin walked in with a mutter, he was about to see the servant Shaoqing and shame him, but he saw Xiao Buyi looking at him with a smile, and his chin almost hit the top of his feet, "Xiao Buyi, why are you?" Your secretary province is so poor, and there is no place to do things, so you have to go to the Taifu Temple to work? ”

"Your Excellency is here, don't be rude." Cheng Huang Ling frowned and shouted in a low voice.

Qin Shubao rolled his eyes, he already recognized Xiao Buyi's official uniform, and said in surprise: "Is Brother Xiao the servant Shaoqing?" ”

"Huh?" Cheng Biting Jin almost bit his tongue, "Uncle Bao, what are you kidding, the servant Shaoqing official is from the fourth grade, the school secretary is just a minor official of the ninth grade, he can't be the servant Shaoqing if he pats the horse, the donkey and the camel, Xiao Buyi, don't think you are wearing an official uniform......"

Qin Shubao pulled Cheng Jin's arm hard, and said in a low voice: "Biting Jin, if you talk nonsense again, I won't take you with me next time I come out." ”

Cheng Yanjin made a stop gesture, just stared at Xiao Buyi up and down, quite surprised, he was half ridiculous and half serious, but he didn't believe that Xiao Buyi would be a servant Shaoqing.

"Brother Qin is right." Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "It's just that my servant Shaoqing has only taken office in recent days, and I know that the two brothers will come to transfer the horses, so I am waiting here today." ”

"What about the original servant Shaoqing?" Cheng Yanjin finally came back to his senses.

Xiao Buyi smiled and diverted the topic, "Has the approval of the Ministry of War ever come down?" ”

Qin Shubao was also surprised, but buried his mind in the bottom of his heart, took out the approval document of the Ministry of War and handed it to Xiao Buyi, and said respectfully: "Lord Xiao, I saw the Holy Lord before, and yesterday I went to the Ministry of War to receive the approval, and now General Zhang's military food, horses, and equipment are all lacking, and I also ask Brother Xiao to do it as soon as possible." ”

When it came to serious matters, Cheng Yanjin also became solemn, and he didn't care to ask Xiao Buyi how he mixed up so quickly, and said seriously: "School Shulang, no, it should be said that it is Shaoqing, no matter how we say it, we don't know each other, your official has risen, and your temper can't follow it." ”

"Call the Warden Order." Xiao Buyi looked at the approval document in his hand with a smile, and wrote that he wanted to transfer five hundred war horses, thinking in his heart.

Zhao Chengpeng hurriedly went to find the stable order, and after Shan Xiuwen came, he asked respectfully, "What do you command?" ”

Xiao Buyi handed the approval document to Shan Xiuwen, "When will the five hundred war horses be ready?" ”

Shan Xiuwen received the approval with a difficult face, "Go back to my lord, it will take a few days." ”

"How many more days?" Cheng bit the golden fire and jumped up, "I've been here for nearly a month, do you know that General Zhang has been born and killed in the field in the past month, and he is still fighting with thieves and soldiers in the snow?" Now that the emperor has said it, let you deal with this matter, you are procrastinating, believe it or not, I will go to the emperor to accuse you of negligence and cut off your head? ”

Shan Xiuwen just looked at Xiao Buyi, his face was embarrassed, but he didn't believe that a person like Cheng Biting Jin could see the emperor, and besides, he was not embarrassed, but dealt with it impartially, and he was not afraid of Cheng Biting Jin's threat. Xiao Buyi nodded, "Warden Order, you explain to them why it takes a few days." ”

"Under normal circumstances, the horses for quelling the chaos and suppressing bandits are provided by the locality," Shan Xiuwen said with a wry smile: "However, because the road has not been peaceful recently, there are many fewer horses transported to the Eastern Capital this year." Because General Zhang's situation is special and special treatment is given under special circumstances, he transferred horses in the Eastern Capital. However, in order to transfer horses in the eastern capital, you need to report the details of the horses in the Taifu Temple, and then the driving department under the jurisdiction of the military department will review and inspect, and then the Taifu Temple will deal with some miscellaneous things, and the driving department will also communicate, and it will take more time to go back and forth. ”

Cheng bit Jin and was about to get angry, Qin Shubao pulled him, hugged his fists and said to Xiao Buyi: "The last general knows that the adults will deal with it as soon as possible, so please bother the adults." ”

Xiao Buyi said in his heart, after all, this Qin Shubao is worthy of his reputation, and his human feelings are much stronger than Cheng Biting Jin's crimes, many things are not not done, but there is a difference between fast and slow, if Cheng Biting Jin has this attitude, it is estimated that when you meet Yu Wenhua and the like, you may not be able to do it for you when you grow into a green turtle.

"Special Cases, Special Treatment." Xiao Buyi gently knocked on the table, but he was full of authority. Cheng Yanjin saw that he was about to get angry again, but he felt that the birdman in front of him was procrastinating, and Qin Shubao had already known his anger, and reached out to hold his fist.

Xiao Buyi saw the actions of the two, and laughed in his heart, he had long intended to win over the two and let Shan Xiuwen say the difficulties, but it was just to add some weight to his own work, "General Zhang fought bloodily to protect his family and defend the country, and we can't follow him to kill the enemy, if we can help, it is absolutely not a reason to drag General Zhang back." ”

Shan Xiuwen heard Xiao Buyi's righteousness and awe-inspiring, and just wanted to ask him what he was going to say. Xiao Buyi stood up and said: "Pawn order, you must send the latest horse details to the driving department before noon today, I will first communicate with Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin to the driving department about the rest of the matters, all the affairs must be handled in parallel, take the yellow order, the pawn order is done in duplicate, you go to the military department for approval, and the other copy is sent to the driving department, see if you can deal with everything as soon as possible, so that the two generals can start early." ”

Pawn Ling and Cheng Huang Ling glanced at each other, and they were convinced by this adult's arrangement, they used to do a single line, and Xiao Buyi used the technology of the contemporary parallel assembly line a little, which already made them feel novel. Qin Shubao said with emotion: "Lord Xiao's method of going hand in hand is really a precedent for opening this dynasty, and Shubao admires it." ”

"I think it's normal." Cheng Biting Jin made a discordant tone again.

Xiao Buyi didn't mind, he had already rushed to the driving department with Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin first, although Cheng Yanjin was not satisfied that Xiao Buyi sat in the high position of the servant Shaoqing at a young age, but he was also touched by his enthusiasm, and there were fewer rumors. They are all Zhang Xutuo's subordinates, and now they are just partial generals, and they are not as good as Xiao Buyi, a hairy boy, who is born and died, and is inevitably a little unconvinced.

After arriving at the driving department, it happened to meet Li Jing, Li Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Xiao Buyi arrive, "Buyi, why are you here?" I heard that you were made an official and a servant Shaoqing, and I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "Am I a servant Shaoqing or a school scholar, aren't they all the same in the eyes of the second brother?" Second brother, there are documents from the Ministry of War, you can see how to deal with it as soon as possible. ”

His casual words made Li Jing's heart feel comfortable, knowing that he had been with him all his life, but it was Xiao Buyi who really understood him. He doesn't like flattery, and his current official position is much weaker in his eyes, and making friends with Xiao Buyi's brother is the happiest thing in this time. Xiao Buyi seems to be much busier than him, but every time he comes to look for it, he just drinks and chats, and this is the first time he has come to look for him on business.

Just glanced at the approval document, Li Jing ordered his subordinates, and his subordinates nodded and went out, but Li Jing said: "Buyi, our driving department needs to count the details provided by your Taifu Temple, and then select the horses, count them in turn, and record them, cloth clothes, according to the rules, we have to wait for the arrival of the documents of your Taifu Temple's order." ”

Although Cheng Yanjin complained about the cumbersome system, through Li Jing's mouth, he also knew that Xiao Buyi was also official, and when he saw that he knew someone from the driving department, he said on the side: "Lord Xiao, the law is not a favor, and my sister-in-law and uncle will help him, and he can do it in a hurry." ”

What he said was messy, Li Jing glanced at him, and said in his heart that this person was talking nonsense, and then glanced at the documents of the Ministry of War, and his eyes lit up, "Is this Cheng Gong, one of the three tigers under General Zhang?" ”

"Cheng Gong doesn't dare to be, Cheng Biting Jin is me." Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin: "But since you know me, I think this matter of transferring horses should be handled at your discretion, right?" ”

Li Jing looked at Qin Shubao and said, "This must be the Duke of Qin, one of the three tigers under General Zhang?" ”

He saluted politely, Qin Shubao clasped his fists and saluted: "Under Qin Shubao, I don't know how the adults recognize it?" ”

Li Jing shook the clerk and smiled: "There are two people's names written on it, so I know it." ”

Cheng Yanjin said strangely: "There is our name on the official document, but we don't have our own name on our heads, how do you think that I am Cheng Yanjin and not Qin Shubao?" ”

Li Jing smiled and said: "It is said that General Zhang's martial arts are world-renowned, and his soldiers and generals are also brave. General Zhang's three tiger generals made the thieves frightened, and the three generals were Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and Cheng Biting Jin. Qin Shubao is calm and wise, Luo Shixin is brave and courageous, and Cheng bites Jin......"

"Cheng Yanjin is known for his big swagger and recklessness, right?" Cheng Yanjin asked.

Li Jing smiled and said nothing, thinking that you are self-aware, Qin Shubao couldn't help laughing, and arched his hand: "The adults don't go out of Kyoto, but they actually know the things in the world, which really makes Shubao admire, and he doesn't dare to ask the adults for advice." ”

"My name is Li Jing, and I am a member of the driving department."

Qin Shubao's eyes lit up, "Is my lord the nephew of my famous general Han Baohu, who has been talented in civil and military affairs since he was a child, even if General Han is praised as a master who can talk about Sun and Wu's arts, but Li Jing Li, who is a human being?" ”

Xiao Buyi didn't know that Li Jing and Han Baohu were related, but Han Baohu He Ruobi knew that when Emperor Wen was there, they were all famous generals, and when Yang Guangping Chen, he also had great military achievements. Li Jing said lightly: "It's all in the past, the current Li Jing has no ambitions, and he is just a small outsider." ”

"I really don't know this, this," Cheng Yanjin finally restrained himself for a while, "With the talent of Master Li, raising horses here is really condescending." ”

Hearing that the other party was Li Jing, Cheng Biting Jin also had some respect, Xiao Buyi didn't expect it, but just smiled: "I am a suitable horse breeder, right?" ”

Everyone laughed, there was a lot less mustard, and as soon as the door rang, a person came to the door: "Wailang, what are you looking for me?" ”

The man is also a talent, with heavy eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, but he is still carrying a wine jug in his hand, full of wine, he glanced at Xiao Buyi at a glance, and hurriedly hid the wine jug behind him, "It turns out that Lord Xiao is also here, and the lower officials have lost their welcome, please forgive me." ”

Qin Shubao shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that this person still drinks when he is on official business, so he is only afraid of delaying things.

"Buyi, this is Pei Lian, the undertaker of the driving department," Li Jing introduced: "I'll find him to do things, and it will be faster to communicate with your Taifu Temple." ”

Xiao Buyi saw Pei Lian's vague steps, his eyes were loose, but he was similar to Li Yuan's lust, "The second brother thinks far more thoughtfully than me, I can only say that the Taifu Temple will deal with it as soon as possible, as for what to do, I am ashamed to say that I don't know anything." ”

When Pei Lin heard Xiao Buyi call Li Jing's second brother, his brows furrowed slightly, "Master Li, I don't know what I'm going to do?" ”

His title has changed, just because of Xiao Buyi, Li Jing couldn't hear it, and said with a smile: "My lord really doesn't dare to do it, I and Master Pei have our own duties, I only ask my lord to read the official document, and first take Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin to choose a horse." ”

"Well, the official document from the Taifu Temple has arrived?" Pei Lin shook his head when he saw Li Jing, and said with a smile: "The official document didn't come, and it's the same when Lord Xiao arrives, go, go, let's go and choose a horse." ”

Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin glanced at each other, feeling that things had finally come to an eyebrow, and breathed a sigh of relief, and they also knew that everything was going well because of Xiao Buyi.

Kyoto Ranch is located not far from the north of the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, everyone is public and private, for the love of the boss, are fast horses and whips, with the identity of Xiao Buyi, Pei Lian, Li Jing, when entering the ranch is just a routine inspection. The terrain of the mountains is excellent, there are gorges for entry and exit, and it is very dangerous.

Xiao Buyi is a servant Shaoqing, but it is the first time to come to the Kyoto Horse Farm, pay attention to the pasture In addition to horses, there are also all kinds of livestock, Xiao Buyi did not pay attention to anything else, just checked the protective measures and the distribution of troops at the dangerous place, and considered whether his ranch was also set up. Of course, the pastures here did not have the secrets and dangers he was looking for, but he was well armed, and on the way forward, he dug a moat-like partition several feet wide, and had to lower the drawbridge to pass.

Xiao Buyi felt a little that the design here was reasonable, knowing that it would not be Yu Wenhua's means, and he had the opportunity to dig up this kind of design talent, and after crossing the suspension bridge, he actually found a somewhat familiar face, that person was the horse Xingkong of the Luling Horse Farm he saw in Yuan's house.

When Ma Xingkong saw Xiao Buyi and a few people coming over, he was a little surprised, but he still talked and laughed with the shepherd, and the shepherd saw Li Jing and Pei Lian, apologized to Ma Xingkong, and quickly greeted him and said, "Lord Li, Master Pei, I don't know what you are doing here today?" ”

Li Jing was a little surprised and said, "Supervisor Feng, you should ask Shaoqing about this kind of thing first." ”

"Which Shaoqing?" Feng Jianmu's face changed slightly, and when he saw Xiao Buyi's clothes, he ate and said, "Could it be that you are the new servant Shaoqing?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Don't you believe it? ”

Supervisor Feng hurriedly saluted: "Shaoqing forgive the sins, the lower officials have been in the ranch all the time, and I don't know about the adult's appointment, so please forgive the sins." ”

"He who does not know is not guilty." Xiao Buyi smiled: "But I don't know what this horse farm owner is doing here?" ”

"Isn't this cloth?" Ma Xingkong walked over with a big grin, wanted to pat Xiao Buyi's shoulder, and said in some surprise: "Aren't you a school scholar?" How could it be that it is too servant Shaoqing, just kidding, right? ”

It's no wonder that he was surprised, even Feng Jianmu couldn't believe it when he saw Xiao Buyi's official uniform, Xiao Buyi was too young, he was an official and a servant in the Great Sui at such a young age, and he had never been in the Great Sui since the founding of the country.

Xiao Buyi flashed his palm, "I think the horse farm owner is here to make people feel like a joke, this is the royal ranch, no one is allowed to enter, the horse farm owner came here, who approved it?" ”

The horse farm owner was stunned for a moment, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Xiao Buyi, what do you mean by this, don't you know me?" ”

Feng Jian Mu hurriedly said with a smile: "Lord Shaoqing, the owner of the horse farm is very familiar with us......

"Who are you familiar with, the rules can't be broken, what about the approval." Xiao Buyi's face turned pale, and he secretly thought that it was difficult to be a corrupt official, the owner of the horse farm was the first link in the fight against his own monopoly, but he was a corrupt official but he was also ashamed of his selfless appearance.

Feng Jian Mu was stunned for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "My lord, because of Yuwen Shaoqing, this batch of documents has always been ignored. The owner of the horse farm sent a thousand good horses this time, and the legal principle is nothing more than human affection, I think there are a lot of adults, and occasionally make an exception, but they can also bear it? ”

"Oh? Sent a thousand good horses? Xiao Buyi sneered: "Supervisor Feng, the shepherd of horses in Kyoto is under the management of Taifu Temple, and the audit and dispatch are under the responsibility of the driving department under the military department. As a shepherd, you are only responsible for the birth and shepherding of cattle and horses, and I, as a servant and a young secretary, have to communicate with the driving department. ”

Feng Jian Mu sweated profusely, "My lord, this ......"

Pei Lin and Li Jing glanced at each other and did not make a sound. Pei Lianxin said that this kid killed the chicken to show the monkey, this is just to become the servant Shaoqing, come to Liwei, but Li Jing knew that Xiao Buyi made a big fuss and had a good intention, so he let Xiao Buyi use the topic to play. Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin saw that Xiao Buyi was majestic and full of official authority, but for their sake, they were grateful in their hearts.

"The duty of the ranch guard is heavy, the Taifu Temple has repeatedly ordered that no one is allowed to enter, you say that you put in a horse farm owner today, tomorrow you may be a cattle farm owner, a sheep farm owner, let me ask you, if you really put in some ill-intentioned people, this ranch has a problem, do you want to cut off your head or cut me?"

Feng Jian Mu finally said: "My lord, the owner of the horse farm has had a relationship with us for nearly ten years, and the horses sent have always been excellent horses, and the lower officials have forgotten the rules for a while, and the adults in the driving department must also know this truth, and the adults seem to be ......."

He wanted to speak and stopped, but he still didn't dare to say that Xiao Buyi deliberately found fault and made a big fuss! Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Good horse? Then bring two horses over and have a look. ”

Supervisor Feng's spirit was shocked, and he had already asked his subordinates to lead two horses over, and everyone nodded when they saw that the horses were full and graceful, and Pei Lin suddenly pleaded: "Lord Xiao, now that the thief is short of horses, the matter can be followed, I think Lord Xiao can open the net." ”

Li Jing smiled silently, Xiao Buyi said with a straight face: "Master Pei, the good horses can be opened, I am only afraid that some people will take advantage of their positions and use inferior horses to fill the number, these horses are going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and the horses have been poor and have affected the surname of the general, and our sins are unforgivable." ”

"I apologize for Lord Xiao for saying that something else is not in order," Ma Xingkong said with some contempt: "But if you want to look at the horse, I'm just afraid that the former school secretary is still not good." My horse is in the entire Dongdu Ranch, and it can be regarded as very handsome, the princes and nobles are all horses from my horse line empty Luling Horse Farm, Lord Xiao is the first time to take office, and it is understandable that he does not understand many things. ”

He is a time-honored brand, an old qualification, and when he sees a hairy boy sarcastic about himself, he is inevitably unhappy, and there are thorns in his words.

Xiao Buyi heard his ridicule, and just smiled: "Really? He walked slowly to the side of a horse, gently stroked the horse's back, and said softly: "Although I used to be a school scholar, I also know that waist strength and foot strength are indispensable for horses fighting in the field. He suddenly exerted force with one hand, the horse neighed, and the hooves were about to rise, but it fell to the ground with a 'coo' sound, Xiao Buyi said lightly: "This horse can't even withstand my one-handed strength, how can it resist the soldiers' iron armor fighting?" ”

Feng Jian Mu was speechless, Ma Xingkong was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
