At this time, Xu Ji naturally didn't know about the intrigue in the Governor's Mansion of Ludao County.

Xu Ji's consideration is very simple, what he needs at present is to maintain a smooth transition to his own hands, Guo Jia came with news that he has sent Xu Qian to lead five hundred people to support Xu Ji, so in order to prevent these old immortal guys in Yu County from jumping over the wall in a hurry, it is naturally better to wait for his reinforcements to arrive. What Xu Ji needs now is a legitimate excuse or reason, the so-called teacher is famous, and only the violence that occupies the righteousness is just, otherwise it is a tyrannical perverse. And Xu Ji needs a stable Yuanxian to be able to transition into his own hands, and naturally needs such an excuse so that he can take over Yuxian smoothly.

But as a foreign official who was not a local official, Xu Ji knew that he could not make any substantive moves before he did not have that kind of evidence in his hands. Xu Ji was sure that the hands and feet of these officials in Yuxian County must not be clean, but Xu Ji lacked evidence, and if he did it without evidence, he would inevitably leave a handle, and Zhang Miao obviously couldn't let himself do it casually to eliminate the disobedient subordinates who were so reckless, so Xu Ji still suppressed the anger of the gang of soldiers under his command and his slightly anxious mentality.

The problem on the other side is that Xu Ji does not have enough strength even if he wants to do it, although Xu Ji has confidence in Gao Shun's command, but after all, three hundred people are still quite difficult for the thousands of guards in Shangyu County, even if they can win, the garrison of Yuan County will be very problematic after that. What's more, the surrounding counties may not sit idly by, after all, Xu Ji's purges of Yu County is almost an extremely clear signal that he wants to punish dissidents, if he is unwilling to sit still, then he can only fight back, and in the face of this extremely likely situation, the soldiers and horses in Xu Ji's hands are not enough to solve this troublesome situation at this time.

These many troubles caused Xu Ji to have to make his own plans, but being treated like this as a superintendent, of course Xu Ji couldn't help but express his anger, otherwise it would not only give people the impression of weakness and bullying, but also suspicious. And the degree of this posture is a problem, not to make people feel too strong, but also not to make people feel that they can knead wantonly. Then at this time, Xu Ji began to think about what kind of reaction he should use to make people not vigilant. Only by showing the enemy can the weak side win with one blow. And Xu Ji also made up his mind that he would never show up until his backup arrived. Never do it until you have enough evidence to put people to death.

Early in the morning of the second day, someone came to visit the post house, saying that it was the county lieutenant who invited the post supervisor to go, Chen Zhi naturally took two big mouths on the face of the person who came, and then scolded: "The post supervisor arrived in Yu County yesterday, why no one greeted him?" Go back and tell your county lieutenant that if he doesn't come to the door in person to ask for the guilt, he will bear the consequences. ”

Obviously, there is a hint of lust and guilt in these words, but what Xu Ji wants is such an effect, presumably the reason why these people dare not take themselves seriously must also have some understanding of themselves, after all, Yingchuan and Chen Liuliu are adjacent to each other, Xu Ji became famous in the Changshe War, and Chen Liujun has heard of himself to some extent. So since this is the case, it must be that he knows that Xu Ji is not a descendant of the Wang clan, so naturally he does not need to be afraid of the background that Xu Ji may have. And Xu Ji's status as the superintendent of the post does make these county officials a little tricky, Xu Ji's statement is really easy to handle, which can obviously achieve his goal.

As Xu Ji expected, the county lieutenant surnamed Liu, who was rewarded, smiled, and then said to the people around him: "Let's see what this shaft wants?" Don't you think that the emperor is complacent when he appoints him? And consume with him. Hearing this, Mao surnamed Peng Shi frowned deeply, and then smiled, but it was quite different from the smiles of everyone in the hall. No one noticed the irony hidden in his smile: if this Xu Duyou really has such a good look, how can he delay it like this? There must be a plan, and it depends on how you self-righteous old things suffer. Mao Pengshi thought so, maybe it was time to test it.

What Xu Ji needs is this effect, and the more he despises himself, the better. And their status as a postal supervisor is enough for them not to dare to act rashly against themselves. But Xu Ji is still facing a problem, of course these guys who rely on the old and sell the old will not obey their words, but cleaning them up requires a legitimate reason, and Xu Ji urgently needs such a handle now, as long as there is a flaw, Xu Ji is confident that he can uproot these guys.

Of course, Xu Ji didn't expect them old foxes to show their flaws by themselves, but now that they had arrived in Yu County, they must also act cautiously, and it would be even more difficult to catch the flaws. Xu Ji frowned and sat alone in the post house, looking at the terrain sand table on the sand table and was stunned. Now the situation Xu Ji is facing is the so-called enemy does not move, I do not move, Xu Ji has no way to take the initiative now, he can only wait passively, this is a situation that Xu Ji is very disgusted. is accustomed to being a strong pioneer, and now he is forced to passively only wait, which is obviously against Xu Ji's style. But I had to accept it.

And Xu Ji's waiting was not without gain, and soon he waited for an unexpected gain.

On the third day after Xu Ji settled down in the post house, a prayer note was sent to Xu Ji's table: Cao Peng Shi Mao Jie, Hu Cao County.

Finally, Xu Ji seemed to see the opportunity, there are still people in Yu County who can see their plans, and this Mao Dai is obviously a clear-eyed person, whether it is really seeing his intentions or the temptation of these old guys in Yu County, Xu Ji realizes that he must meet this person. What's more, it is clear what is written on the prayer post, and I hope that the post will come alone. Obviously, this Mao level must have something to say to himself.

Xu Ji naturally and quickly realized that this Mao level would be the most important person for him to break through Yu County, so it was obvious that he had to pay attention to it. And since it must be taken seriously, it is inevitable to go to see him.

It was night, when the lights were on, Xu Ji quietly left the post house, only taking Chen Dao, the so-called going alone to Xu Ji naturally did not take it seriously, and Mao Jie naturally did not really ask Xu Ji to go alone, after all, Yu County was not so friendly to Xu Ji. And he is a little unsafe after all.

Mao Jie's residence is not near the county governor's mansion, but in a relatively remote alley, to be able to touch here or thanks to Mao Jie's road described in the post, if you really let Xu Ji find it himself, I am afraid that I may not be able to find the right place until dawn.

Mao Jie was really waiting for Xu Ji, and he could see the candlelight in the room from a distance. Mao's dwelling is simple, even simple, and there is nothing else except for the necessities of life. Xu Ji entered Mao Jie's residence alone, of course Chen Zhi was guarding outside, and the first time he saw Mao Jie, Xu Ji glanced at Mao Jie, and said with a smile: "I hope Mr. Mao doesn't care, Xu Ji is young after all, if he really comes alone, in Yu County, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." ”

Mao Jie also smiled: "Lord Inspector is polite, just call me the word." In fact, the post superintendent doesn't have to care about what Xiaoxian said, the safety of adults is the most important, after all, Yuxian is not as good as Yingchuan, and there is no big mistake in being careful. ”

After Xu Ji entered the door, Mao Jie saw Xu Ji looking around, but he was quite embarrassed: "The subordinate was originally a Pingqiu clan, and then he was in chaos so he was an official in Yu County, his family was simple, and he also wanted to supervise the postman............"

Xu Ji laughed when he heard this: "What is Mr. Xiaoxian talking about? Don't call me a postal supervisor, Xu Ji is only fourteen years old, and he is a postal supervisor, so he might as well be commensurate with my words. After a pause, Xu Ji said again: "I think that when Wen Lie was in school, he was even more down, so he had to live in the teacher's house, Mr. Xiaoxian has more or less his own room, not like Wen Lie, even if he is the post governor, he just lives in the post house." There was indeed a bit of inexplicable displeasure in his tone.

Of course, although Xu Ji said that he was commensurate with the words, Mao Jie, naturally he didn't dare, he was an official and Xu Ji was an official, and the gap was much bigger than imagined: "The superintendent is humble, who doesn't know that the Changshe is on fire?" The Superintendent has such intelligence at such an age, and the future will be immeasurable. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "The current predicament is still difficult to solve, how can we talk about the future?" Mr. Xiaoxian asked Wen Lie to come not just for a few compliments, Xu Ji happened to be a little confused, so he might as well spread it out and say it. ”

Mao Jie also smiled: "The superintendent is really a cheerful person, Xiaoxian originally had the heart to test the superintendent, and now he has to see the superintendent, and it is the ambition of the superintendent." Mao Jie's request to see the superintendent of the post this time but he couldn't go in person, and he also had a last resort. The superintendent also knows that the county is now decaying, Liu Xianjian occupies the position of county lieutenant but does not know how to seek the well-being of the people, and all the officials are his henchmen, and people of insight are not allowed to appoint, and the political affairs are controlled by traitors, which is the place where the superintendent can show his skills. Xu Ji nodded and motioned for Mao Jie to continue.

"Now Yuxian is under the control of Liu Xian. The families also make the most of it. Mao Jie, who has been in Yu County for several years, has been in the county government in an endless stream of flies and dogs, Liu Xian punished dissidents, and covered the sky with one hand, which is the order of the Taishou and the disobedience of the yang and the yin. The people complained, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Supervising the post and Mingjian, this person is really a big disaster in Yu County."

Xu Ji suddenly smiled and said: "Filial piety is now discussing the length of people behind the scenes, I'm afraid it's not a gentleman's doing." ”

Mao Jie said indignantly: "But if you want to eliminate a big trouble for the people, why don't you be a villain?" ”

"How does Xiaoxian know that Liu Xian and I are not the same dog? If I am in cahoots with his nest of snakes and rats, won't filial piety be self-defeating? ”

"Looking at the post with a Mao rank is by no means comparable to Liu Xian and his ilk."

"How does filial piety know? Do you know what I want? ”

"I don't know, I'd like to hear about it."

Xu Ji Zhengse said: "I have had great ambitions since I was a child, and I once proudly said: I am willing to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people's livelihood, a study for the saints, and peace for all generations." After entering the WTO, I know that the world is difficult, and it is far from being as easy as I thought. Now that the world is in charge, it is difficult for a poor scholar to have a bright future, and now I look at my words at the beginning, I am like a three-year-old child, I don't know what to say. The world is so big, how can Xu Ji change it alone? Now Xu Ji's only ambition is to worry about the world for the official temple, and to benefit one party for the official, so it is enough. ”

After listening to Xu Ji's words, Mao Jie arched his hand and sighed: "If the officials in the world are like supervising the post, why should the people worry? ”

Xu Jiha said with a smile: "Ambition is ambition after all, but the reality may not be satisfactory." I started to make meritorious contributions outside the city of Changshe to Nanyang, and I have made meritorious deeds, but I have not seen anything fair. If it weren't for General Zhu's efforts to say something for me, Xu Ji may not be able to become a superintendent, maybe just a vacant post in the countryside or a secretary in Luoyang. ”

Mao Jie also sighed: "The way of the world is like this, since Guangwu, the wealthy family has controlled the authority, how many people are not diligent and industrious, and they are not divided into officials?" In the end, the people are struggling to make a living, but they only see that taxes are doubling every year. The hardships of the people are really sad, and people can't help but mourn for them," he said with a long sigh.

Xu Ji said: "We are all from poor families, so I don't mention how it tastes in my heart." What did filial piety teach me before the current Yuxian County? ”

Mao Jie no longer sighed when he heard this, and said: "Then it depends on how big the plan of the post supervisor is, if you also want to learn from that Qingping official, it will only be the same as tonight, and the post supervisor can be peaceful for one term." If the superintendent wants to benefit one party, then there is only ...... Clean sweep. After that, the sharpness in Mao Jie's eyes was like a sharp blade out of the sheath, shining with a deadly cold light.

Xu Ji's eyes also flashed sharply: "Naturally, I don't want to be an official who is only for the safety of Wen Lie, if I can't benefit one party, it's better to go back to my hometown and be that idle rich man." ”

Mao Jieda smiled: "Okay, since the post supervisor has this ambition, I Mao Xiao is willing to be the post inspector's pawn, but I don't know how many soldiers there are in the post supervisor's hands?" After speaking, he looked at Xu Ji and said again: "Forgive me, Mao Jie's intention is not to spy on the details of the postmaster, if the superintendent can't be trusted, it doesn't hurt not to say it." ”

Xu Ji smiled, pointed his finger and fingered himself again, and said: "Now you and I have a handle in each other's hands, how can we believe it or not?" How do people in a boat who fall into the water divide each other? Anyway, Xu Ji will also give you the bottom, in addition to the 300 soldiers under his command, I still have 500 soldiers on the way here, and I will arrive within three days. ”

Mao Jie's row of cases said: "That's enough, I have Liu Xian's criminal evidence for many years in my hands, I just need to supervise the post to wipe out his henchmen by thunderous means, and the rest will be handed over to Mao Jie." ”

Xu Ji got up and walked to Mao Jie's side, patted Mao Jie's arm and said: "Xiaoxian is really Xu Ji's lucky star, Wen Lie is worried about the affairs of Yu County, I don't want to meet Xiaoxian, how lucky is Xu Ji?" ”

Mao Jieyi also replied with a smile: "The post supervisor praised it, Mao Jie's encounter with the post supervisor is not only the luck of Mao Jie, but also the blessing of the people of Yu County." ”
