The more vague Gou Shen's mouth was, the more anxious Kou Dehai became, and said to Gou Shen: "Since Kou Mou arrived at the county honor, he has always respected the county order, and there is no place to slack off the county respect between actions, this heart can be expressed!" ”

Kou Dehai saw that Gou Shen didn't know whether it was okay, took a step forward, bowed down and said: "County order, there is no need to mention the past, how Kou Mou behaved in this paragraph, the county should be like a mirror." ”

"A few days ago, after the Gou brothers came to the county order, the lower officials handled the affairs of Hexi properly, and the county order also knew this."

"Now that the county order knows that the matter of the lower officials is related to the county, please know everything, and Kou is grateful."

Gou Shen listened, still hesitant, it seemed that he was calculating, Kou Dehai said some good things again, and Gou Shen sighed: "Okay, this official will tell you directly." ”

"It's not that the official is not straightforward, but ...... The guard order also mentions Kou County, and you ......"

Kou Dehai became more and more anxious, and Gou Shen frowned and said: "Kou County Cheng has been an official in Yingshui for several years, he is diligent and diligent, and he has a lot of friends with the local squire. ”

Kou Dehai said: "The county order is clear! Many political affairs, without the help of the squire, the original family, the Chu family, and other big families, it is indeed difficult to act, in fact, everyone knows this. ”

"For example, when the year is not good, the tax does not come up, or some farmers do not pay grain within the time limit, which affects the time of paying taxes, in order not to affect the county's performance appraisal, at this time, it is necessary to temporarily borrow grain from those large households, first complete the above tasks, and then return the money and grain borrowed from large households to others, which is a common practice in all counties and counties, and everyone knows it."

"If the relationship with these big families is not good, will they lend us money and grain?"

"Therefore, Xiaguan and these clans are closer and have more contacts, this, this is all for official business."

Gou Shen looked at Kou Dehai anxiously, and when he finished speaking, he said: "The guard order was rushed by the original Diao slave that day, and those subordinate goods were put in prison by the official. ”

"The official naturally understands that what these subordinates did has nothing to do with the original family, but in order to relieve the guard order, the official interrogated these short-sighted things overnight, which can be regarded as giving the guard order an explanation."

Kou Dehai nodded: "What the county order has done is extreme, it should, it should be." ”

"However, the guard ordered a message to the official a few days ago, saying that after returning to Chang'an, he felt that the matter was not so simple."

Gou Shen said that his eyes squinted at Kou Dehai, and Kou Dehai asked, "How?" What does the Guardian Order say? ”

"The meaning of the Guardian Order ......" Gou Shen looked at Kou Dehai and said, "The Guardian Decree said that something must have been done on purpose. ”

"Oh? Deliberately? Someone instigated? Who? Who would be so bold, isn't that not long-sighted? Ate leopard gall? ”

Gou Shen was noncommittal to Kou Dehai's words: "The guard order said that although he did not wear official clothes that day, he rode a horse in front of the official, and not far behind him was a cadre of the county. ”

Kou Dehai frowned: "It's a coincidence, but it's nothing, right?" ”

"The men stopped the Guardian Order, saying that the Guardian Order had disturbed their falcons, but the Guardian Commander said that he hadn't seen any falcons from beginning to end."

"Hehe," Gou Shen laughed and said: "The guard order is in Chang'an, and he has also played with the eagle falcon, he said that he didn't see it, and the official is not easy to say, at that time, the official was told to rush over, and those house slaves were excited, but fortunately, the guard order didn't want to embarrass the official and the local clan on the face of the official who had just taken office, so he didn't get angry on the spot, otherwise, how could those few splashes be the opponents of the forbidden palace guard order?" ”

Kou Dehai nodded yes, and Gou Shen continued: "The matter has been revealed, but that night, Kou Xiancheng went to the place where the guards were resting to meet him?" ”

As soon as Kou Dehai heard Gou Shen's words, his face immediately turned red.

Originally, it was nothing for the lower officials to tie up with their bosses, but the time when Kou Dehai quietly went to Zhu Bo to pay his respects that night was precisely after Gou Shen had just left from Zhu Bo, and at that time, Gou Shen had just arrived at Yingshui County to take up his post, and Kou Dehai had not yet found Yuan Xian to be his and Gou Shen's peace elder, that is, there was still a gap between Gou Shen and Kou Dehai that had not been resolved, and there were still contradictions that had not been eliminated.

In this more embarrassing period, Kou Dehai went to Zhu Bo with Gou Shen behind his back, although Zhu Bo and Kou Dehai couldn't say anything, but Kou Dehai's behavior was a little unfriendly to Gou Shen.

Imagine if Kou Dehai didn't monitor, or pay attention to Gou Shen's movements, how could he just wait for Gou Shen to leave Zhu Bo and go to Zhu Bo, this time must be very good, otherwise he would bump into Gou Shen earlier.

bypassed the direct boss who had a holiday with him to give gifts to the people sent by the imperial court, and was touched by the boss, the situation was very speechless.

This will Gou Shen told Kou Dehai about his private meeting with Zhu Bo, Kou Dehai's forehead suddenly sweated, and he wanted to explain his behavior with a snort, but he felt that he couldn't talk about it.

Kou Dehai knew that he went to Zhu Bo at that time to take the line of the Guardian Order and leave a way for the future.

When we meet for the first time, the expectations for Zhu Bo cannot be too high, I can only say that I am familiar with my face, and if something happens in the future, it will be regarded as one more choice, and if I am born and I am familiar twice, there will be more opportunities.

And Kou Dehai felt that he was doing this unknowingly, but this would actually come out of Gou Shen's mouth.

Therefore, Kou Dehai felt that it could only be that Zhu Bo was really angry with the original family, so he told him about his private meeting - the key is why Zhu Bo wants to tell Gou Shen about this, and what does this matter have to do with the original family's collision with Zhu Bo?

Gou Shen felt that he had caught enough appetite for Kou Dehai, so he said bluntly: "Wei Shiling thinks that Kou Xiancheng meant to be a lobbyist for the original family that night. ”

"Ahh This, the county order, the lowly position, the lowly position has no such meaning, where does this start? ”

Seeing Kou Dehai's anxious face, Gou waved his hand: "This official also knows that Kou County Cheng will never act so carelessly, even if he goes to pay homage to the guard order that night, it is also for the future of Yingshui County, how can he be a lobbyist for the original family?" ”

When Kou Dehai heard this, he nodded his head again and again, and Gou Shen said: "The key is that the incident happened that day, in addition to this county, Quan Yingshui Yamen, that is, an official of Kou County, went to visit Wei Shi Ling, and the county Cheng said that he had a good political performance in Yingshui that night, and he had frequent contacts with big families, so Wei Shi Ling may not have thought so much at that time, and now that he has arrived in Chang'an, he feels that County Cheng is a lobbyist for the original family." ”
