Xu Liang and Ge Qiao came to Feng's house on the side of Dongmen Street, and the four officials had already handed over the coffin to the Feng family, and they were standing under the big tree outside Feng's house at the moment to enjoy the coolness.

The widow of the Feng family knew that the county lord Bo and Master Dianshi were coming in person, and hurriedly opened the main door to greet the two adults.

Feng Daolin's wife, Feng Zhang's took Feng Daolin's youngest daughter, followed by Feng Suqin and Feng's mother, and bowed to Ge Zhubo and Xu Liang with a grateful expression.

"The surviving Feng Zhang has seen the two adults, thank the two adults for returning the deceased husband, prepare a little tea at home, and invite the two adults to come into the house to rest."

Master Ge Bo was so shocked that he waved his hand again and again, "Mrs. Feng is polite, the official and the master of the canonical history still have important matters on their bodies, and it is really inconvenient to stay for a long time." He took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Feng with his own hands, patted the back of her hand and comforted: "The county lord is grateful for Lord Feng's bravery, and specially approved eighty taels of bereavement silver for the official to send, Mrs. Feng quickly accept it." ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, looked at Ge Zhubo, his lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything.

Mrs. Feng accepted the silver taels with her eyes in her eyes, and thanked Xu Liang and Ge Zhubo again.

Xu Liang followed Ge Zhubo to comfort him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Feng Suqin looking at him with burning eyes, raised his eyes and nodded slightly at her, and said, "Su ...... Ah Miss Feng, now that Lord Feng's body has been returned, the girl should prepare for the birth and bury Lord Feng, uh, if there is anything that needs Xu's help, please be polite, let me know as soon as possible. ”

Feng Suqin's autumn eyes were affectionate, and she stepped forward to give Xu Liang a salute, "Thank you for your care." ”

Xu Liang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, dragged Feng Suqin with both hands, and clicked twice on her palm imperceptibly, seeing that Feng Suqin's face turned red instantly, Xu Liang smiled and said, "Miss Feng doesn't need to be polite." ”

Leaving the Feng family, the group walked for a while, Ge Zhubo took out the bag of silver, and gave each of the four yacha a tael of hard-earned money, and after the four yacha thanked him and left first, he counted eight taels of silver and handed it to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang was taken aback and asked, "Brother Ge, what do you mean?" ”

Ge Master Bo smiled and patted Xu Liang's hand and said, "Brother Xu has just entered the officialdom, and some things are not clear. You take this money, rest assured, you will never burn your hands. ”

Xu Liang saw that the four officials had taken the silver, and knew that if he didn't take it, it wouldn't be too unkind, and he was now very poor, so he was no longer polite at the moment, so he took the silver taels and stuffed them into his arms.

Ge Zhubo looked at Xu Liang and said with some seriousness: "Brother Xu, this is a person, and many times you have to learn to be flexible. Take our officials of the Ming Dynasty as an example, if everyone is upright, with clean sleeves, and lives on the few taels of silver issued by the court every month, wouldn't all the old and young in this family have to drink the northwest wind? ”

Xu Liang was greatly touched, and said gratefully to Ge Zhubo: "Thank you for the big brother, the little brother has been taught!" ”

The next day, rumors came out of Jianchang City out of nowhere that on the day that the Poyang Lake Water Kou attacked Jianchang City, a county lord Bo had a recurrence of headaches, and the county magistrate took the lead and bravely blocked it, but unfortunately hit the secret arrow of the Water Kou...... As soon as the rumors spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and gradually the entire Jianchang City knew about it.

And the day before the investigation sent by the court arrived in Jianchang County, Gong Deyan, the head of the Jianchang County Bureau, was sent to Qiujin Town, the farthest part of Jianchang, to inspect the local Jiashou and the merits of the chief. At the same time, Qian Yi, the head of the household, was sent to Makou Town to collect autumn grain, and several officials who complained a lot were also transferred out of Jianchang County for various reasons. The funeral of the Feng family is also underway, but I don't know when there is a stall selling drinking cakes outside the Feng family.

On the 12th day of September in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, it was cloudy.

Jianchang turmoil finally came to Jianchang County, Xu Liang was the first time to personally stand in the team to meet the Ming Dynasty Qincha, seeing the bright armor of the Qincha guards walking through the east gate of the county all the way to the county government gate with neat steps, the flag was unfurled, the ceremonial staff was wide open, and the two four-lifted sedan chairs landed steadily, and then, a cyan official robe was Yang Suoxiu, the head of the six-grade official department, and Lu Chengyuan, the superintendent of the seven-grade superintendent, slowly walked out of the sedan chair.

Although he was extremely reluctant, but the big shape shì was like this, Xu Liang had to follow Wang Zhixian and Ge Zhu Bo to kneel down to receive the holy decree. Yang Suo, the head of the ministry, has the highest grade of cultivation, and he is a Qin cha, Wang Zhixian has no choice, so he has to reluctantly give up the second hall of the county government, make a Qin cha for the two Qin chas, and move to the original county Cheng room to work.

In the afternoon, the two Qincha summoned the parents of Jianchang County to talk. Director Yang has the highest grade, but he is full of smiles, and looks at the tea politely at Wang Xian, Ge Qiao and Xu Liang, who came together. In contrast, Lu Chengyuan, who supervised the imperial history, had a straight face and did not smile.

Director Yang took a sip of tea, and said with a smile to the three local officials of Jianchang sitting next to him: "If you are polite, I won't say more, this time there is such a big thing in Jianchang, and the saint is very concerned." Yang and Lord Lu were ordered to do an errand, and they hoped that the three of them would cooperate more. ”

"That's certain," Wang Zhixian immediately bowed his body on behalf of the Jianchang County official, "If the two superiors have any orders, the lower officials will definitely go all out to handle things for the superiors safely." ”

"Hmm." Director Yang was very satisfied with Wang Zhixian's attitude.

"Cough," Lu Yushi on the side spoke up, and said stiffly: "The matter of Jianchang is a major event that has passed through the sky, Lord Yang and I are responsible for the emperor's order, the purpose is to find out the matter of Jianchang clearly, clearly and clearly, Lord Wang only needs to report it truthfully, and there is no need to ask for anything to be safe or not." As soon as you get it, you will have Lord Yang to carry it for you. ”

Director Yang frowned and said, "That, as long as what Wang Zhixian said is true, Lord Lu and I will definitely report it to the court according to the truth." He deliberately put Lu Chengyuan in front of his name.

Xu Liang and the other three had a burst of embarrassment on their faces, and nodded with a smile. Xu Liang scolded in his heart: Isn't it just a seven-grade imperial history, damn, take chicken feathers as an arrow, you are not the organizer, you are a ball!

Director Yang cleared his throat and said solemnly: "I called the three of them this time to learn about the situation first-hand from the three of them. Wang Zhixian, this official asks you, where were you when the Shui Kou attacked the city? ”

Wang Zhixian's body shook, got up and arched his hand: "If you go back to the upper office, the lower official ...... When the lower official heard that there were robbers attacking the city, the one who felt the responsibility of defending the land, held the city in the people, and the people in the city were determined to die, and the people in the city were determined to lead the people left behind in the city to personally climb the city to meet the water kou, when it was, the yellow sand was full of sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of killing on the city shook the sky, and the morale of the soldiers was high......"

"Lord Wang!" Lu Yushi stopped: "You just need to say what you were doing at that time, and you don't need to go into details!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Zhixian choked, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and saw a layer of white gauze tied to the forearm, and a blood mark seeped out through the gauze. "Xia Guan was unlucky, he was hit by the secret arrow of Shui Kou, and was pulled down by the county Chengqiang...... Alas, poor county, a good official, if you say no, it's gone! ”

Lu Chengyuan stepped forward to look at Wang Zhixian's wound for a while, and asked coldly: "Wang Zhixian, what day did the water invade Jianchang City?" ”

Wang Zhixian put away the interjection, thought about it, and said: "Back to Shangcha, it's August 24. ”

Lu Yushi asked again: "So what day is today?" ”

Wang Zhixian smiled and said: "Is this a deliberate examination for the lower officials, today is September 12." ”

Xu Liang thought about it, the secret way is bad, this Lu Yushi is a trap for Wang Zhixian.

I only heard Lu Yushi sneer, "I said Wang Zhixian, count the days, it has been nearly twenty days since you were injured by an arrow, and your injury is slower than a snail crawling!" ”

"This ......" Wang Zhixian came to his senses, looked at the imperial history eating, and couldn't answer for a while.

Xu Liang took a step forward and arched his hand: "I don't know, Lord Wang, since that incident, he has been worried that the water coward will come to attack Jianchang again, and he is worried all day long, and he is in a hurry to get on fire, and when he was inspecting the city wall a few days ago, the wound broke again!" ”

"Ah, yes, yes!" Wang Zhixian hurriedly said: "Xiaguan is about to report to the top. ”

"Really?" Lu Yushi looked at Wang Zhixian meaningfully, said slowly, turned to Xu Liang again, and asked, "This must be the new Jianchang Dianshi, young enough?" Is there twenty no? ”

The corners of Xu Liang's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to the upper errand, the lower official is Xu Liang, the history of Jianchangdian." ”

"Oh, you're Xu Liang?" Director Yang said in surprise. He glanced at Xu Liang, and asked while drinking tea from a teacup: "Since you are Feng Daolin's successor, then you might as well tell me, how is this Feng Daolin acting in Jianchang?" ”

Xu Liang heard the look of surprise when Director Yang asked his name, and asked himself Feng Daolin's behavior, this he had just come to Jianchang, and he had never even seen Feng Daolin alive, where would he know how Feng Daolin behaved. Director Yang asked this strangely.

Xu Liang thought quickly in his heart. Well? This Yang Suoxiu is the head of the ministry, and I have heard the Jiangxi Senator Huang Weizhong say that Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, is also very concerned about this matter, and Director Yang is from the ministry, so will Director Yang be the same as himself, and he also brought a secret order?

Xu Liang raised his head slightly to look at Director Yang, and saw Director Yang dragging the teacup with one hand, as if he wanted to drink tea, but under the long sleeves half-covered, one left eye looked at him with blazing eyes, and when he saw Xu Liang looking up, he also blinked twice.

Xu Liang suddenly had a bottom in his heart. Just about to speak, Lu Yushi spoke first, "Lord Yang laughed, this Xu Dianshi has just arrived in Jianchang, how can he know about a dead original history." ”

Xu Liang said in a loud voice: "Superior tolerance!" Although Xia Guan has just arrived in Jianchang, these days, Jianchang has talked about this Feng Daolin, Lord Feng. Yes, Xia Guan still knows a little about this Lord Feng's ordinary person. ”

"Good! Xu Liang, come on! Director Yang was overjoyed and shouted.

"Yes," Xu Liang straightened up, glanced at Wang Zhixian and Ge Zhubo, and said slowly: "As far as the lower officials know, this Feng Daolin has been an official in Jianchang for three years, although he is serious about his work, and his annual evaluation is superior, if you want to talk about ability, it goes without saying." However," Xu Liang said in an accentuated tone: "Lord Feng is in the eyes of his colleagues and the people, but his official reputation is not very good. ”

"Why is that?" Director Yang asked with a surprised expression. Only Xu Liang could see a trace of joy on his face, and it disappeared.

"Alas," Xu Liang sighed, seeing that Wang Zhixian and Ge Zhubo were both in a daze, he coughed lightly, and then said: "The problem lies in Lord Feng's ability, Lord Feng is an impatient person, and he does things in a hurry, and he can't see others hesitating. Many things in Jianchang County are not decided in a few words, Lord Wang and Lord Ge are both old and serious people, but Lord Feng doesn't look at it like this, the lower officials heard that several times, Lord Feng has robbed other officials of the job, for example, this time Jianchang turmoil, Lord Ge's headache recurred, unable to lead the troops, it stands to reason that Lord Cheng of the county should come forward, but Lord Feng heard that Wucheng was besieged, so he was so anxious that he couldn't say a word, he took over Lord Ge and hurriedly led the troops out of Jianchang City! ”
