Lord Lin, who came to read out the appointment, looked at Xu Xianling's appearance of crying, frowned and asked, "Lord Xu, what's wrong?" However, he was not satisfied with the appointment. ”

Xu Xianling hurriedly smiled: "No, no, it is Xu's lifelong wish to be an official in the capital, and I am excited." ”

I was so excited that I wanted to cry!

Lord Lin smiled when he heard this: "I see. This is indeed a rare happy event, and it is natural for Lord Xu to be excited. ”

Xu County Order: "......"

Don't speak, let me be sad for a while.

But the reality is cruel, Xu Xianling didn't have time to be sad at all, and he had to grin and smile to entertain Lord Lin and his party.

During the banquet, Xu Xian Ling was drinking with his head bored, and only when Lord Lin looked at him worriedly, he would force a smile and say something about the scene, which once made Lord Lin think: Xu Chongfeng has been promoted two levels in a row, and he has gone crazy with joy, and he has reversed the bitterness and happiness. Also, can you stop laughing? Your laughter is worse than crying, this official is here to read the promotion documents, not to issue the edict to prison!

Fortunately, there are still Jiang County Lieutenant, Master Zheng, Master Tian, and Master Yu, otherwise Lord Lin would have been so disturbed that he couldn't eat this meal.

Xu Xianling was so tormented that he finally finished the banquet and sent Lord Lin to the guest house to rest, and after sending Lord Zheng away, he couldn't hold back crying anymore.

It's really crying.

Master Tian asked helplessly, "My lord, what are you doing?" You are promoted, and you should be happy. ”

It's like a dead father, right?

Xu Xianling was angry: "What am I doing? Don't you know how many pounds and taels I have? Is it the material that solves the case? And what are the cases in Dali Temple? Those are all big cases, not to mention that each case involves human lives, but also involves high-ranking officials and nobles, and even the secrets of the royal family...... Seeing that this one has to die in office, can I not cry? ”

Although he wants to be promoted to an official after meritorious service, he doesn't want to lose his life.

"I originally thought it was a pie with a big meat filling, but who would have thought that the pie was smashed down, but the bread inside was a knife, and it was going to be finished!"

Master Tian was originally very happy that Xu County's order was finally promoted, but when he heard Xu's words, he was also worried.

Yes, Brother Xu has a few catties and taels, don't they know? It's a master who wants to mix with the mud and return to his hometown, but now it's really, alas......

Xu Xianling cried for a while, then grabbed Master Tian's hand and asked, "Why don't you resign and return to your hometown now?" ”

Master Tian: "No. As soon as the appointment for your promotion came down, you resigned, this is a slap in the face of the Lord of the capital and the emperor, do you think you can still return to your hometown? ”

You'll have to be clicked on the road, making you embarrassed.

Xu Xian ordered to cry again.

Xu Xianling's son Xu Dexian was holding a bowl of sobering soup and wanted to bring it to his father to drink, but he was a little scared when he saw his father crying and chirping.

Jiang County Lieutenant was drinking sobering soup, and when he saw Xu Dexian's scared appearance, he smiled at him and whispered out a Jiang character.

Xu Dexian was startled, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Xu County: "Dad, we can ask Grandpa Jiang for help." ”

This old man Jiang is Zou Jiang.

Xu Xian ordered a pause, picked up a scroll and hit his son: "Your kid has been studying with that old man for a few days and then facing him?" Ask him for help, what can he help? Every day, he will only eat and drink in the yamen, and he will eat no less than ten taels of silver in the yamen, and he has to take care of his pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. You say that he is a bad old man, and he is not ashamed to write some sour poems on a blank sheet of paper when he is old. ”

As soon as Xu Xianling talked about Zou Jiang, he became angry.

The old man was really shameless, he hinted to him several times, saying that his revenge had been avenged, and he could go back to his hometown in Luchang County, don't always live in the county office, he is an outsider, he has lived in the county government for a few months, eating and drinking for nothing, is it reasonable?

Jiang County Lieutenant shook his head when he heard this, and when he saw that the hint was not good, he could only pick out and say: "My lord, you are a civil official, and you are not good at judging cases, but Zou Jiang can." His strategy and courage are rare, and he is thoughtful, Zou Youlian's case and the water bandit case all broke out by him, and the case of Dali Temple must not be difficult for him. If you can ask him to be a staff member and take him to the post, you will definitely not have to worry about judging the case. ”

Xu Xianling was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Jiang County Lieutenant said was very reasonable.

Seeing that Xu Xianling's face was relaxed, Jiang County Lieutenant continued: "My lord, the lower official knows that you don't trust Zou Xiancheng very much because you helped Zou Jiang before......

In fact, he was afraid of Zou Jiang in his heart, and felt that if he got too close to the old fox, he would be killed.

"But now the only one who can help you is Zou Jiang."

And this is also a pit, a pit that Ming Shaoqing dug with Zou Jiang, waiting for Xu Xianling to fall into.

Zou Jiang is really a loving and righteous person, he knows that Xu Xianling will be promoted to Beijing because of the water bandit case, and he can Xu Xianling's IQ, he is a dead end when he enters Beijing to be an official, and he has to find a strategist to protect him, Zou Jiang is the most suitable candidate, so when Ming Shaoqing invited him to Beijing, he refused, but he said that he wanted to follow Xu Xianling's side to do things.

Ming Shaoqing understood in seconds, so he changed his strategy and directly begged the elder of Shangguan Pavilion, so that Xu Xianling could directly enter Beijing as a Beijing official and bring Zou Jiang into the capital.

Zou Jiang has not returned to his hometown because of this, but lives in the county office, waiting for Xu County Commander to invite him, but Xu County Commander is obviously not open, and he also dislikes Zou Jiang for being in the county government.

Master Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, only Zou Jiang can help us now, hurry up and invite him, this is a character who can save the life of an adult." ”

Xu Xianling was also very moved, but he didn't want to fall in front of Zou Jiang, so he wiped a handful of tears, sat on a chair, and said while roasting the fire: "Don't worry, anyway, that old man lives in the county office, just call him tomorrow after he finishes official business." It is expected that he is an old man who has nothing to worry about, and he must be willing to go to Beijing with his official to take up his post. ”

County Lieutenant Jiang looked at Xu County's order and kindly reminded him: "My lord, this thing has to be done sooner or later, so it's better to invite Zou Jiang now." ”

Tomorrow, you may have to kneel down to move.

Sure enough, the next day, as soon as Xu Xianling finished breakfast with Mrs. Xu, and went to the front office with a hand warmer, he saw Master Tian running in a hurry and shouted: "My lord, Zou Jiang has returned to his hometown!" ”

With a plop, Xu Xianling's feet slipped, and he fell very appropriately, and the two little guys around him hurriedly helped him up, and before the official hat was put on, Xu Xianling asked urgently: "What do you say?" Zou Jiang's old man went back to his hometown? ”

Master Tian nodded: "Well, listening to the handyman who served him, it was because he saw that the weather was cold, and he felt desolate when he lived alone and widowed, so he was sad and wanted to go back to his hometown to spend his old age in peace." ”

Xu Xian Ling was really convinced: "Is he crazy?" I didn't go back before, but now I go back, it's really a toss! ”

If you don't toss him to death, you won't stop.

Master Tian said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, my lord, hurry up and chase it, when Zou Jiang returns to his hometown and is stumped by the affairs of his hometown, he will not follow us to Beijing." Longtan Tiger's Den Jingmen Road, white bones and red coffins Liangchen Mound, my lord, if you don't want to die, you have to invite this old fox. ”

Master Tian is also very afraid of death, he knows very well that the three of them, as well as those staff, are all small roles, and they can't fight others when they arrive in the capital, and they don't have a ruthless character with them, and they all have to finish.
