At this time, Xu Ji was still thinking about Chen Jun's affairs, and he could be said to be determined to win Liang Xi. But he still doesn't have a charter on how to convince Liang Xi, although Xu Ji is not a white body now, nor is he unknown, but it is not a good choice, not to mention that Liang Xi now has a certain status in Chen County, and it is not a platform without showing his ability. This means that Xu Ji is not so easy to say that Liang Xi will give up his existing status and even power, not to mention that Xu Ji is not yet a good future, at least no one can see Xu Ji's future, and even Xu Ji is not very sure of his future, after all, every step in his plan is a great risk. Not only that, Xu Ji is also facing huge troubles at present, which is indeed not a good choice for a person who wants to show his ambitions.

Despite this, Xu Ji still decided to go to Chen County to visit Liang Xi, after all, he lacks such talents under his command now, and he does not have the so-called domineering spirit that can make the Quartet worship with a single shout, and everyone needs to work hard to fight for it. And this is what Xu Ji has been doing, whether it is Bocai or Gao Shun, Xu Ji personally explains his ambitions, explaining what he can do for them so that they are willing to work for him, and going there in person no matter what, shows that he attaches great importance to him. This is also one of Xu Ji's bargaining chips, although it may not be useful, but at least he has worked hard. Xu Ji didn't want to miss any chance of success, even if it was slim.

Of course, these Xu Ji will not tell Xun You, after all, Xun You is now under more pressure than him, the Yu County clan may still have a sense of awe for Xu Ji and dare not make too much action, but Xun You may not have such worries, maybe the Yu County clan will soon take action, but Xun You must bear this pressure alone, for Xun You this is undoubtedly an opportunity to prove himself, but it is also the biggest challenge he has ever faced. And the pressure brought by this challenge is probably even greater than what Xu Ji faced when he was in Changshe, after all, Xu Ji was self-made at that time, and losing was just returning to a state of nothing, but now Xun You is in his hands Xu Ji is trying to win the only capital, if he fails, what he will lose is all that Xu Ji has planned for a long time.

Early the next morning, Xu Ji announced that he was going to Chen County to find news of an old man, and he also handed over the affairs of Yu County to Xun You to be responsible, and of course Mao Jie was also present. After that, Xu Ji took Chen Zhi and Xu Qian Shi Ran to leave Yu County, and the three of them went to Chen County, and Yu County immediately began to turmoil.

Mao Jie still lives in the dilapidated residence before him, although he has been acting as the county lieutenant for a long time, but still has not changed his residence, Xu Ji did not move into the county lieutenant's mansion to live, and on the night he sent Xu Ji away, Mao Jie ushered in an uninvited guest.

"Mao Pengshi, I took the liberty to visit, and I hope to forgive me." The person who came was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade, of course Mao Jie knew this person, he was the head of the Chen family, the largest local family in Yu County, but of course this is not Yingchuan Chen, but Chen's influence in the local area should not be underestimated, Chen is the largest family in Yu County, and many children are officials in Yu County, and it can even be said that Chen is one of the representatives of Yu County.

"Mr. Chen is polite, Mao Jie's is just a small official in Yu County, how can you let me deal with myself? Please. Then let the man in front of him into the house.

"Mao Pengshi's words are not right, doesn't the post superintendent rely on Lord Pengshi to become the head of Yu County?" The middle-aged man surnamed Chen, who entered the brocade suit, said.

Mao Jie's self-deprecating smile said: "Mr. Chen is a lie, that is, without me, Mao Jie's post master, can't he enter Yu County?" ”

The middle-aged man standing opposite Mao Jiejie also smiled: "I just think that it is a little unfair for the post supervisor to treat Peng Shi, Peng Shi is the first person to appease the people after the post supervisor entered the county, and now the post supervisor went to Chen County to visit the deceased but did not hand over the affairs of Yu County to Peng Shi and didn't care, why did he hand it over to an outsider?" ”

Mao Jie's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Mr. Shenyan, Xun Gongda is a disciple of the Yingchuan Xun clan after all, how can I compare with it?" ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Chen smiled when he saw Mao Jie's like this: "Peng Shi is humble, Peng Shi has been working hard in Yu County for many years, and everyone in Yu County has seen it, if you want to say that Peng Shi is not as good as this Xun Gongda, I Chen Qing is the first to disagree." ”

Mao Jie just snorted when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Chen Qing said again: "Peng Shi, it is not Chen Qing who provokes it, and the Lord Governor is so nepotistic that it can't help but chill the hearts of everyone in Yu County." If this is the case, wouldn't it be even more difficult for us to gain the trust of the Postal Governor? ”

Mao Jie also said abruptly: "I want my Mao Jie to work hard for the post supervisor but still can't be trusted, what can I do?" ”

Chen Qingzheng said: "Hey, Peng Shi doesn't have to be so depressed, maybe the post supervisor is just the loyalty of Peng Shi in the school?" ”

Mao Jie said hatefully: "I, Mao Jie, have already cited evidence of Liu Xian's crimes, what else can't I believe?" Lord Postmaster can't help but despise my Mao rank too much, hmph, sooner or later, this vertical man will know how powerful I am! ”

Chen Qing hurriedly said after hearing this: "Peng Shi said cautiously, now that this county is all under the post governor, if the post master is to know, wouldn't Peng Shi be self-defeating?" ”

Mao Jie sneered: "Shaft An dare to hear? Mao Jiejiu has been in Yuxian for a long time, how can he be shaken by the new master? Mr. Chen, the Ming people don't say dark words, this erector is used to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, since the arrival of this Xun Gongda yesterday, he has taken away my authority, I am afraid that there will be no place for me in Yu County for a long time. He sighed.

Chen Qing also sighed when he heard this: "I don't want to supervise the post so difficult to make history, I also know that Xun Gongda will definitely take away the authority of Peng Shi when he comes here, and I don't want to abandon Peng Shi." ”

Mao Jie's indignation said: "The erection is not enough and the plan is also, if there is no Mao Jie, how can there be a stable county today?" ”

Chen Qing nodded and said, "Exactly, if it weren't for Peng Shi, how could we be content under the rule of the superintendent?" Now that Peng Shi is still treated like this, how can I wait for me to live? When it is useful and treats each other with good words, it is abandoned when it is not used, so if it is not the opposite of the post, if you can't be saved by others, you should save yourself. ”

Mao Jie fell into a deep groan when he heard this, and after a while, he spoke: "Why does Mr. Chen want to oppose the postal supervision? Do you want to try me? ”

Chen Qing arched his hand and said: "I don't know about the history of Peng, the families of Yuxian County have been oppressed by the superintendent recently, and they have forced us to hand over the military power of the private soldiers in the clan, and the Zixiu clan is still good, and several families have been forced to hand over under the pressure of the superintendent, but now the yellow scarf is undecided, if there is no private guard, how to keep the family stable?" If the overseer is defeated by the invading yellow turbans and abandons the city, how will we protect ourselves? It was the families who recommended Zixiu to go to discuss with the superintendent, but Zixiu thought that the superintendent would not allow us and other clans to leave private soldiers, so he came to discuss with Pengshi on his own initiative, and he didn't want Pengshi's situation to be much more unbearable than ours, which is really ......"

The words were not finished, but the two of them tacitly did not say any more, Mao Jie looked at Chen Qing and said slowly: "Okay, then it's the opposite, what is Mr. Zixiu's plan?" ”

Chen Qing also said with a solemn face: "Now that Xu Ji has left Yu County, it is an excellent opportunity for him to go back and forth to Chen County for five days, and he is afraid that there will still be Pan Huan to visit the deceased, and I will have at least half a month to plan for this matter." ”

Mao Jie nodded and said, "It's time to think about it." ”

Then the two talked secretly all night, but Xun Yu naturally didn't know about this.

On the second day, Xun You convened a group of officials in Yu County, Xun You sat in the first seat, and the county officials in Yu County were listed under the hall, and the chief of them was Mao Jie.

Xun You opened his mouth and said: "Xun You is ordered by the post inspector to temporarily supervise the affairs of Yu County, I hope you can be sincere and consistent, and you can act according to my orders before the return of the post inspector." Everyone in the hall said yes, but the chief Mao Dai did not answer.

Xun You turned to Mao Jie with a smile and asked, "Why is Mao Pengshi silent?" Got something to say? ”

Mao Jie said proudly: "Mao Xiaoxian has always only recognized one person as the superintendent, as for others, Mao Jie's can't be convinced, and Mao Xiaoxian can't listen to Mr. Xun's orders." With that, he threw up his sleeves and stood up.

Xun You's face changed when he heard this, and he said sharply: "Mao Pengshi, is it true that he wants to disobey the order of the superintendent? The superintendent has already said that when he is not there, everything in Yuxian County will be arranged by me, Mao Xiaoxian, what do you want? Do you want to replace me? ”

Mao Jie sneered: "Mr. Xun is so imposing, Mao Xiao can't afford to serve him first." Instead, I don't dare, if Mr. Xun wants to dispose of it, Mr. Sui's will be. Xun Yu in the hall turned around and walked away.

Xun You in the hall said angrily: "Mao Xiaoxian, if you take a step today, you will bear the consequences." ”

Mao Jie's cold voice came, but he didn't look back, and he didn't stop: "Mr. Xun's self-determination is, Mao Jie's listen." ”

And Xun You was furious and wanted to make someone capture Mao Jie, and everyone in the hall pleaded for him on the grounds of "the post supervisor should not make more killings when he entered Wei County", Xun You did not immediately execute Mao Jie, but he still exempted Mao Jie's from all official positions, that is, Mao Jie's Hu Cao Pengshi is no longer the Hu Cao Peng history of Yu County.

And this is, of course, something that Mao Jie has already discussed with Chen Qing. What he wanted was to expose Xun You's posture of wanting to monopolize power, and obviously, he succeeded.

And after Mao Jie came out of the county governor's mansion, he went straight to Chen Qing's mansion, of course he didn't go to Chen Qing to complain, but the plan must be put on the agenda, Xun You obviously won't let what Mao Jie's actions do today so easily, whether it is to provoke Xun You's dignity as a child of the Xun family or not to obey Xu Ji's orders, it gave Xun You enough reasons to solve Mao Jie, a guy who came to him as a "trouble".

And Chen Qing naturally has eyeliner to witness all this in the county governor's mansion, and even for him, this is something he is extremely happy to see, as long as there is an opportunity, he can bring down Xu Ji, and after Xu Ji is expelled from Yu County, who cares who Mao Ji is?

And the first sentence of Mao Jie's arrival at the door showed his intention and his urgent needs: "Zixiugong, now I have angered Xun You, looking at his posture, I am afraid that he will soon do something to me, and now I am still in addition to my position as a historian, if this continues, I am afraid that I will lose my authority and have no chance, and it will be too late for Xu Ji to return." ”|

Chen Qing naturally comforted Mao Jie: "Don't be anxious about filial piety, how dare Xun Gongda immediately attack Peng Shi?" Now he is just preliminarily taking over the affairs of supervising the post, Yu County still has to Peng History, even if he Xun Gongda hates Mr. Xun Gongda, he can only swallow his anger, we only need to do it before he controls Yu County, we can solve this trouble. ”

Mao Jie paused and said: "Having said that, it is okay to start planning at this time, if Chen Gong is not ready first, if Xun Gongda intends to make the first move, I will have a good response." ”

Chen Qing bowed his head and said: "That's nature, don't worry about filial piety, how can I sit back and watch filial piety suffer unwarranted punishment?" And wait with peace of mind, I will discuss one or two with the families in the county today, and inform Xiaoxian if I have the charter. ”

When Mao Jie heard this, he calmed down a little and said: "It's okay, then Xiaoxian will go back and wait for news, Chen Gong, now Xiaoxian's life is entrusted to Chen Gong." ”

Chen Qing's head signaled, and Mao Jie said goodbye and left.

But after Mao Jie left, Chen Qing had a cold smile on his face: "Mao Xiaoxian, you betrayer, do you really think I can tolerate you?" The superintendent is doing a good job at this time, if he really reuses this person, he is only afraid of a lot of trouble, but it is a pity that the superintendent is young after all, how can he be willing to snub this villain like this? But it's just cheaper for us to wait, and if you ask the post supervisor to really accept the military power of our waiting, there will be no room to turn over. ”

And a person turned out of the hall and said: "Chen Gong still has the leisure to praise the superintendent?" It's not necessarily how good it is before we wait. "This is a middle-aged man in the same gorgeous costume, and he is the head of the Su family, another big local family in Yu County, named Su Ding, the word Bo'an.

Chen Qing smiled when he heard this: "Now we seem to be in danger, don't you hear that you must first be safe inside?" Xun You can't solve Mao Jie, how dare he rashly do it to us? As long as Mao Jie can delay, the longer I wait, the better the chance of success. ”

Su Dingha said with a smile: "I knew early on that Chen Zixiu was so good? Mao Xiao was first said by you to think that he could save his power and life, and now it seems that he is afraid that he is seeking skin with the tiger and seeking his own death. ”

Chen Qing sneered again when he heard this: "This person is just a villain, Xu Duyou is afraid that he will also see this point and abandon it, but this person has talent, but it is a pity that he will carry Liu Xian first, how can Xu Wenlie believe him?" Now that he is even more recovering Xu Ji, how can we tolerate him? After the deed was done, I was the first to ask for his life. ”

Su Ding, who was on the side, also turned cold when he heard this: "It is this truth, with such a person, how can Yuxian be stable?" If it weren't for this person, why would I be here? Don't say whether he can live or not, even the young superintendent will hate this person to the bone, and maybe the superintendent will feel comforted if we kill this person. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, but was it really as simple as they expected? No one knows what kind of risks are behind this situation.
