"Zhou Ming, meet Lord Taishou."

"Yang Hong, meet Lord Taishou."

Tian Kai's footsteps had not yet stepped into the hall, but he saw Zhou Ming and Yang Hong bowing down.

Tian Kai's face was indifferent, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was no superfluous expression on his slightly sallow face, seeing the two of them bowing and standing, Tian Kai stepped back from the left and right palm lamps, strode towards the hall, and said with a light smile: "The two sons of Zhou and Yang came to visit late at night, and the official is deeply honored." ”

"Where, where." The two of them said humbly.

"Hehe," Tian Kaiyi smiled and waved his hand: "The two sons, please sit down." ”

"Lord Xie Taishou." The two of them were also polite, and sat down one after another after thanking them.

After the next person served the tea and retreated, he saw Tian Kai say: "But I don't know what is the important matter for the two sons of Zhou and Yang to visit late at night?" ”

Zhou Ming and Yang Hong glanced at each other, but saw Yang Hong and said respectfully: "I can't talk about important things, mainly because the Zhou and Yang clans have rarely visited the Taishou since they took office, so they came to visit the Taishou today, one is to congratulate the Taishou Lord, wise and powerful, commanded in a good way, and successfully forced the enemy army that invaded Fuyang to retreat, and the second is mainly to pay the wealth obtained from the extermination of the Xu clan rebellion to the county guard and collect it from the general." ”

"Oh," Tian Kai looked surprised, as if he was greatly surprised, and said, "Didn't the original official already promise that all the wealth obtained would be divided equally between the Zhou and Yang clans?" ”

Yang Hong heard this, and said: "The Zhou and Yang clans think that they have not contributed much, and they are really not qualified to enjoy this batch of wealth, and besides, Fuyang is the breeding ground of the Zhou and Yang clans, and now the Xu clan is collaborating with the enemy and is like a rebellion, and my Zhou and Yang clans are also responding to the call of the county guard, there is really no credit at all, it is better to pay all this batch of wealth to the county guard, let the Taishou lord dispose of it, and we and the other two clans will not have any opinions." ”

When Tian Kai heard this, he glanced at Liu Ying without a trace, and said with a smile: "In this way, the official will not shirk, the city was defended, the defenders were killed and wounded thousands, and during the dinner, the official was still worried about how to raise the high pension, but he never thought that the two of you came in such a timely manner, and it can be regarded as a big problem for the county guard, and the official is here to thank you in advance." ”

"It's too polite." Zhou Ming also smiled.

solved a difficult problem in his heart, but seeing that Tian Kai seemed to have made a decision, his brows soothed, and he looked at Yang Hong and Zhou Ming and said with a smile: "The performance of the Zhou and Yang clans this time is very satisfactory to the official, and when the situation improves, the official will report to the Marquis of Ji to ask for credit." ”

When the two heard this, they thanked each other, and the excitement on their faces made Tian Kai, who had been observing them, satisfied, and Zhou Ming and Yang Hong's performance seemed to verify Liu Ying's guess.

"You are the pillars of the country, and in the future, the official will still rely on the Zhou and Yang families, Zhou Gongzi is already a captain, but Yang Hong has no official position, it's a pity." Tian Kai shook his head and said.

Liu Ying, who had not spoken for a long time, reminded in a timely manner: "Now that there is still a vacancy in the county guard's mansion, it is better to let Yang Gongzi give full play to his talents and receive the post of post supervisor to benefit the people." ”

"Look at my head, I forgot about it." Tian Kai patted his forehead as if he was aware of it, and said with some annoyance.

Zhou Ming and Yang Hong glanced at each other when they heard this, and they all saw a trace of surprise in the other party's eyes, supervising the post is not a small official position, and it is also a position of real power to be in charge of picketing the county and supervising the residents of the county.

When Yang Hong heard this, his face showed joy, and under Tian Kai's gaze, he said calmly: "How can Hong He De, how can he be in this important position, Lord Taishou is exalted." ”

"Deserve it" Tian Kai waved his hand and said with a smile, he naturally knew the humble words of Yang Hong's scholars.

"If there is a big chaos today, the people are not happy, it is the time when you need to serve the township, it is said that Fuyang is your hometown, and the official is a foreigner, although he deserves to be the guardian of a county, he has never regarded himself as an outsider, but many matters in the county The official does not know much, or he needs to use the local talents, Yang Gongzi is full of poetry and books, and his family background is good, and the post of the post supervisor is also regarded as a qu job."

Yang Hong still humbly excused himself and said: "I have no official position, nor any service experience, and the post of postal supervisor is high and powerful, and I am afraid that I will be criticized in the future." ”

"Young Master Yang doesn't need to worry," Tian Kai shook his head and said: "The reuse of Gongzi is a decision made by the official after thinking about it for a long time, the son is talented and filial to the official, and he should have had the opportunity to show filial piety a few years ago, but because his father was unwell, he gave up, and now there is no trivial matter to worry about, but he is also just qualified for the post of superintendent, and it can be regarded as making some dedication to the township, and it is not a problem to add an official to the knighthood in the future." ”

When Yang Hong heard this, he responded: "In this way, I won't shirk it." ”

Tian Kai waved his hand, looked at Zhou Ming in silence, and said with a smile: "As for Zhou Gongzi, he is already the position of Du Lieutenant, but he is also in an important position, no matter how high the position, the official has no right to appoint, I heard that Gongzi has a younger brother, a while ago because of the Xu family's rebellion and suppression, he had to be idle at home, Xu's rebellion, resulting in a shortage of officials in the county, Zhuolu County is short of a county commander, I don't know if Brother Ling is willing to bend to take office?" ”

In front of outsiders, Zhou Ming regarded him as a martial artist, and when he heard the words, he was not hypocritical, and directly agreed: "Then the lower official will thank Lord Taishou for his brother." ”

Several people talked in detail for a while, presided over by Tian Kai, completely divided the business of the Xu family, as well as the removal of the officials of the Xu family, Tian Kai's henchmen were merged, and the Zhou and Yang families were not without gains, one supervised the post and one county order, but it was not in vain that the wealth and silk looted by the Xu family were all in Tian Kai's pocket.

That night, Tian Kai personally sent Zhou Yang and the two sons out, the little girl held the lamp in front, Tian Kai, Zhou Ming, Yang Hong and others talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

The two carriages were parked outside the house, which was the means of transportation for the two sons of Zhou and Yang, although there were regulations in Fuyang City that were not running wildly, but there was no restriction on the gentle carriages, many large households had carriages to travel, Tian Kai wanted to prohibit it, but he didn't know how much backlash the road would cause, so he simply put down the control of the carriage, as long as it was not a knight galloping on horseback, the soldiers patrolling the city did not pay attention to it.

"In this way, the official will not send two more sons." Outside the palace, he saw Tian Kai laughing.

When Zhou Ming Yang Hong heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's cold, Lord Taishou must not send it again." ”

"Hehe" Tian Kai chuckled and said: "The two sons go back and greet the elders of the two clans for the official. ”

"It's too much of a word." The two answered.

Tian Kai smiled but didn't answer, in the dark night, even if he held the lamp, he couldn't find the thoughts rolling in his eyes.

Zhou Ming Yang Hongren arched his hand and said: "It's dark and the night is cold, please go back." ”

When Tian Kai heard this, he smiled and said, "Then the official won't send it." ”

The two nodded slightly, turned around and jumped into their respective carriages, and said goodbye to Tian Kai before leaving.

When Zhou Yang's carriage disappeared into the night, he saw Tian Kai's face reset to a cold face, and he said indifferently to the dark night: "I haven't seen you for a long time, haven't you come out yet?" ”

But I saw a figure walking out of the darkness, with an unfamiliar face and a gloomy face, it was the leader of the intelligence team under Gongsun Zhan, Eagle Dog.
