Outside the city of Jingcheng County, two young woodcutters carried heavy firewood on their shoulders, bathed in the slanting sun, walking on the mountain path, walking heavily, and the dark clothes soaked with sweat behind their backs were covered with a layer of white salt!

"You know what? Ah Yuan, my uncle's great revenge has been avenged! A sturdy young woodcutter shook the firewood on his shoulder, hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his right arm, and turned to the thinner woodcutter next to him.

"Really? Whose hands is that Cui Er's criminal? "The thin young man is named Chen Yuan, and since he was a child, he has relied on two books at home and his mother's teachings to read and write.

However, at this time, although there were few scholars, the government system was rigid, and even the small officials of the yamen were monopolized by the children of the family or the servants of their families. If you want to squeeze in, unless you have a talent and fame similar to Chen Gong.

Chen Yuan is also a scholar, he doesn't think that with the farmer uncle of the strong man Gaofeng, he can do what the Cui family can do.

"A scholar is knowledgeable, and as soon as I say it, you can guess who must have committed it." The strong man Gao Feng said, "Do you remember Cai Hui?" That's the one with a lot of strength, and I used to occasionally chop wood with us, but then my wife Cui Er snatched it and died in Cui's mansion, and I was also arrested by the government? ”

"Remember, wasn't you saved?" Chen Yuandao.

"A few days ago, he came back, and I heard that he became a general, and he brought a large number of soldiers to destroy Cui's mansion!" Takamo-chiu.

"It's really three days, you should be impressed!" Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

"Ah Yuan, you also read and learn calligraphy, Cai Hui can follow General Zhenbei back to his hometown, you may not be able to! There was no chance before, but now we don't know Cai Hui? Go and find him, and let him arrange a position as a clerk in the county office, which is better than cutting wood and being a woodcutter, isn't it? While Gao Feng gave Chen Yuan this idea, he secretly regretted in his heart, if only he could be literate.

"Ah Feng, why don't you go together, maybe he can find you an errand too?" The errand officers in the yamen may not be literate, and even if they can't be found, there's nothing to lose, right? Gao Feng's proposal actually made Chen Yuan quite tempted, but when it came to the end, he felt timid and couldn't let go of his face, so he tried every means to pull Gao Feng to be his companion.

"Okay, let's take the firewood back to the city and sell it, and I'll accompany you to the county office early tomorrow morning, so it's a day off." I'm tired these days anyway! Gao Feng really felt that his friend Chen Yuan had a chance, so he was ready to accompany him.

——————————

Early the next morning, the Yamen of Jingcheng County.

The vicissitudes of life, this time Ye Teng arrived at this place of origin as a ruler, but he was not in a good mood!

"Gongtai, I'm sorry, I brought you here early in the morning! I really didn't expect that Cai Hui, who has always been calm, could do such a passionate and impulsive thing! Ye Teng shook his head, a little distressed.

"Understandable. Cai Hui and the princess and the princess got along, and the palace also heard about it. With the improvement of Cai Hui's strength and status, it was not until today that he left his post without permission and rushed to Jingcheng County to avenge his beloved wife, which should be said to be very enduring. ”

Chen Gong smiled and defended Cai Hui, and the clouds were light and light. Because he knew in his heart that the Cui family had a way to die, and with Cai Hui's qualifications and status in Tianma City, if he made this small mistake, Ye Teng would not do anything to him at all.

"yes, it's very bearable. On the contrary, my lord is a little unkind. But he's got a big problem for me. The punishment is light, and it is not a trivial matter for a general in the army to leave his post without permission. The punishment is heavy, the consequences of this matter are not serious, and even the people applaud! And Cai Hui is understandable for doing this; Even in the final analysis, there are my reasons. Ye Teng was a little helpless.

"The palace has two plans for the lord to consider.

First, a fine of one year. This kind of punishment is relatively light, but with Cai Hui's current status, it may not have a bad impact. After all, there are few generals who will compare themselves with Cai Hui;

Second, he was relieved of his position as the governor of Yanmen County, and was reappointed as the governor of Tianma City, and Xu Huang was appointed as the governor of Yanmen County! This punishment is heavier, but it is conducive to Xu Huang's cultivation. Chen Gong frowned without frowning and gave Ye two ideas.

"Let's go with the second option. First, Cai Hui, as the first person in the military of Tianma City besides me, should be severely punished if he makes a mistake, so as to deter the generals! Second, since Xu Huang joined the forces of Tianma City, although he has not performed too amazingly, I know his talent very well, so I will take this opportunity to provide him with a stage to perform! Besides, there is Fengxiao in charge, and there can't be any big mistakes, so let the two of them switch up! Ye Teng pondered for a while, and finally decided to punish him heavily.

The Eight Field Corps were established, but there was no place for Xu Huang. There are elements of comforting Gao Shun, Cao Xing and tens of thousands of soldiers under them, and there are also reasons why Xu Huang is not too eye-catching, and his loyalty has not been above 80.

"Report, lord, there are two young people outside the door, saying that they are General Cai Hui's old acquaintances and want to find General Cai!" The guard at the door reports.

Ye Teng glanced at Chen Gong, Chen Gong nodded, and said, "Bring it in!" ”

"No!"

After a while, two plainly dressed young men entered the yamen hall.

"Cao Min Gaofeng, Chen Yuan meets the adults." The two saw Ye Teng sitting in the middle, and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"General Cai Hui has returned to Yanmen, I am his colleague, if you have anything, tell me the same." Ye Teng said to the two with a smile.

Gao Feng and Chen Yuan glanced at each other, with a hint of disappointment on their faces, not knowing what to say.

Ye Teng asked again: "How did you and Cai Hui meet?" ”

Gao Feng, who was not very literate, may feel that he has nothing to ask for in his heart, but he is more courageous, hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "The two of us are just woodcutters, and we have chopped firewood with General Cai Hui before. I thought Cai Hui was still there, so I persuaded Chen Yuan to come here. Because Chen Yuan is literate and literate, I think maybe Cai Hui can give Chen Yuan a chance to become an official. Since it's not there, forget it. ”

Gao Feng pulled Chen Yuan and wanted to say goodbye to Ye Teng and the others.

"Didn't I say that? It's the same with us, don't worry. Let me introduce to you, this is Changshan Guoxiang, maybe he can help you a little! Ye Teng pointed at Chen Gongdao.

The two stopped and looked at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong said: "Since this friend is literate, didn't we post a talent search order in every county, why don't you come to apply?" ”

"Huh? We don't know! We're so busy chopping wood every day that we don't pay attention to these things! Chen Yuan said in astonishment.

"It seems that the position of the recruitment order is not very eye-catching, or the number of posts is not enough!" Ye Teng sighed.

"My mistake." Chen Gong replied softly and continued to ask, "Where do you want to stick it, you can usually see it?" ”

"O city gates! It's best to find a few soldiers to guard the post, you may think it's a wanted poster, and people who pass by will be curious to inquire about it. Chen Yuan respectfully saluted Chen Gong and said, "Your Excellency may have posted it near the teleportation array in the central square of the city, in fact, this is not wrong, but people from poor families basically have no chance to use the teleportation array, but they go in and out of the city gate to farm, chop firewood, etc. Also, it's better to let the soldiers guard the proclamation, so that it can't be easily torn off! ”

"Reasonable, thank you, I know why the recruitment order I issued is not working very well!" Chen Gong respectfully thanked Chen Yuan, "Since you are literate, you should be able to write notices, right?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Yuandao.

"Then you can copy one for me now!" Chen Gong took out a merit-seeking order from the storage ring and asked Chen Yuan to transcribe one on several cases immediately.

Chen Yuan took the paper and inkstone on the case, and waved it, although the calligraphy skills are not profound, but the handwriting is neat and has not been altered, Chen Gong secretly judged in his heart that there should be no problem as a clerk.

"If you are willing, I will now hire you as a member of the Prime Minister's Office, and Gao Feng will be a servant, and I will be fully responsible for the issuance of the merit order, how about it?" Chen Gong smiled.

"But by your lordship's orders!" Chen Yuan bowed and saluted!

Gao Feng's face was even more excited, he originally just accompanied Chen Yuanlai, but he didn't expect his kindness to change his fate.
