There were more than 100 people gathered outside the Gu Mansion, including men, women and children, and at this time I heard the old man shouting, the voice was loud at first, but the more he shouted, the quieter he came, and when he got to the back, he couldn't hear what he was shouting, and there was a faint cry.

Now it has already begun in summer, and the noon sun shines on people, and it will not be long before it is so hot that people sweat all over their faces, but everyone has not avoided any of them, they only stand in place, carried by the shout, they are all old and young, they are easy to be emotional, and they slowly cry.

For a while, in the streets and alleys, there was a cry, which attracted passers-by to listen, one passed one, one passed ten, ten passed hundred, many people put their hands on errands and surrounded them, or followed by silent tears, or stood in confusion, or followed by crying.

The housekeeper of the Gu family was inside, where did he dare to open the door, but he didn't hear anything, so he had to lean on the back of the door and cry silently.

Across the street, no more than a tea mile, Li Bojian was anxiously spinning around in the public hall.

He turned around, and turned around, only to hear the crying outside, the sound was not far or near, but there was no official to come back for half a day, and he did not hear the crying stop, he was really anxious, so he had to call a servant to come in in a hurry, urging: "Go and see what's going on, obviously brought a lot of patrol shops over, and no one came back for half a day, that place is getting bigger and bigger, let the angel listen, how is it!" ”

The official received the order and hurried out.

Li Bojian wiped a handful of hot sweat, only to feel a chill down his back, and he couldn't help but complain a little in his heart.

How could I never have felt that these people were so difficult to manage before?!

When Gu Yanzhang was in his hands, one or two were good citizens, not to mention thieves and traitors, it was rare to even fight and gather crowds to make trouble in the city! In the morning, he said that he wanted to patrol the city, and before noon, he spontaneously organized people to patrol the city in various streets and alleys, and shouted to transport grain and rice in the afternoon.

Sometimes I see someone arguing on the street, and I don't need to patrol the shop, so there are old people passing by to help persuade him, saying "What a big deal, why don't you take a step back, don't make a big fuss, and then it will reach the ears of Gouyuan, and ask him to find a way to take care of things!" He's already so busy, why bother adding to the chaos! ”

He heard it at the time, and he still sighed in his heart that the people of this city were governed much more than the people of Yaoshun in the past, and he thought that he could not be less than the credit of Li Bojian's management of the criminal name!

At that time, he was still complacent, how long has it been, how did he become an unruly Diao Min??

Let's watch the dishes too?!

The people of Yongzhou City are not rats, they are not oxen, the twelve zodiac signs, from rats to chickens, they don't look down on any of them, but they all choose two genera all over the city, either cicadas or frogs!

In winter, when Gu Yanzhang was in charge of the patrol shop, everyone in the city was as quiet as a quail, not a single bird sounded, and they all shrunk in the nest to sleep, and when they took over the patrol shop in the summer, they sprung up from the nest like mushrooms after the rain, either crying or croaking, and it was not easy to catch him, and it was not easy to catch!

Can you see that in the summer, you can press the cicadas and frogs that keep screaming to silence them?!

When he was anxious, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then a servant hurriedly walked in and shouted: "General judgment, Zhang Dujian has returned from Ling County, and now he wants to use the front office to receive the order!" ”

Li Bojian endured this half a day, he was already irritable, and when he heard the official say this, he couldn't help but scold, so he said angrily: "Zhang Dujian wants to accept the order, just wait for yourself to arrange it, don't talk to the official!" ”

It's not him, Li Bojian, who took the order to receive the credit! has nothing to do with him, such a trivial matter, just find the head person, and come to find a general judgment to do!

Li Bojian clenched his fists, and he had to take into account his dignity as an official, even if he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, it was not good to go out to look around, so that the officials looked at the jokes, so he had to scold in his heart: Others raise staff, all of them are very powerful, how can he raise staff, one or two on weekdays to have some bad ideas, when it comes to such a critical time, they don't need to be sidelines, just go to see the situation outside, but this is not good!

He waited for a long time, but his heart was already scorched, and he heard the louder and louder voices outside, and it was crying and screaming, chaotic, as if he had been stimulated by something, and waves of sound could come in. Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Bojian couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly got up and walked out, for fear that he would really make a mess.

- But now it is he who is in charge of the patrol, no longer Gu Yanzhang, if something happens, he is responsible for his own family!

At this time, Li Bojian led the horse, took two entourage, and grabbed a few errand officers to protect his safety, before he dared to turn over and get on the horse, just lifted his feet, and before he could kick the horse's belly with his heels, he saw a person not far away with his legs with the wind, galloping towards the yamen.

This person was wearing a patrol uniform, and sure enough, he was the messenger he had sent to visit before.

Li Bojian hurriedly stopped and asked, "How is the situation at the gate of the Gu Mansion?" ”

The messenger ran out of breath, and saw that Shangfeng was at the door, wiping his sweat and panting and replied: "So that the general judge knows that there is nothing to do at the gate of the Gu Mansion, and now the sound is ...... Although the sound is loud, the people are tightly divided, so there is no accident! ”

Before Li Bojian could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard another wave of earth-shattering cries not far away, and many doubts came out of his stomach, and he asked urgently: "How can you say that there has never been an accident with such a big movement!" What is it like to be in it now? ”

The messenger hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to pass the sentence, at this time, it is Zhang Dujian who is talking to people there, and he wants to bring a message to the people of the state to go to Beijing, and everyone is rushing to speak, so that the voice is loud, and there is no big problem!" ”

Li Bojian didn't make a big mess when he heard it, and when he heard that Zhang Dingya was there, he finally put his heart back in his stomach.

Sure enough, after a while, the bursts of cries gradually stopped, and after another half a pillar of incense, the staff sent out by Li Bojian came back one by one panting and told him the situation one by one.

It turned out that today it happened that Zhang Dingya returned to Yongzhou from Lingxian County in order to receive the order.

If the DPRK and China want to deal with each other, it is natural that they cannot just rely on a few past reports and war reports sent by Guangnan to dispatch troops and generals, and they must make more inquiries.

Chen Hao wants to sit in Guangnan, he can't move, Wang Miyuan is seriously injured and has just recovered, and it is not easy to trek, as for the rest of the deputy generals in the counterinsurgency army, there are also two seriously injured, and they come and go, but Zhang Dingya is the most appropriate, Zhao Rui summoned him back to Beijing to inquire about the military situation of Jiaozhi and the strength of the two armies.

Although the will of this matter has not been issued, but the court and the central government have all known, and no one regards this matter as a secret, the angel has lived in Yongzhou for more than a month, and many officials in the state government have already known about it, and it must be spread outside.

The people of Yongzhou were worried that people would not come back if they left, like Zhang Dingya, who only went to report on their work, and it was said that they could be promoted, but they were all happy, and they only helped to be happy, but at this time, they intercepted people halfway, but they didn't know which blessing to the soul, and they came up with the idea to ask him to help send a letter to the capital, and ask the court to "put Gu Gouyuan back".

"When Zhang Dujian saw that there was a lot of chaos in the field, he explained to the people, and called them to put the words together according to the streets and alleys, and then asked someone to write a piece of paper and hand it to him, and he would be able to take it to the capital, and the others did not dare to say it, so he personally handed it over to Gu Gouyuan, or sent it to the court Zhongshu Gate, but he could pat his chest as a guarantee, and assigned someone to lead the people to disperse......"

"Right now, there are not many people in front of the Gu Mansion, and the people are lining up and walking out......"

Chen Hao finally heard that all his heart was put back in his stomach.

Gu Yanzhang's return to Beijing to become an official has long been a foregone conclusion, and it is impossible to return to Yongzhou no matter what.

He has made such a great contribution, no matter how Huang Xianggong in the court said that he would punish the crime, but he just made trouble to show the Son of Heaven, this time he entered the court, and promotion was secondary, and the dispatch he wanted to come must be an excellent place to go, where would he be sent to such a suffering place as Guangnan again!

This kind of truth is impossible to explain to the foolish people in the same state who don't know two big characters and can't even write their names, but people are the most difficult to control in Xingtou, and they can't listen to it no matter how they persuade it, and it's not easy to persuade them.

But after Zhang Dingya's perfunctory past, after three or two months, he brought Gu Yanzhang back with another errand and must not come again.

Having solved such a tricky matter that he didn't know how to deal with, Li Bojian was in a good mood, and hurriedly turned his head and swept around, and specially looked for the official who had just come in to speak: "Go and see if the things in the main hall have been packed up, and Zhang Dujian will take the order in a while!" ”

One moment ago, it was still "not to say to the official", and the next moment it became "go and see", such a face-changing kung fu, but also so thick-skinned, so that the official saw it, so he didn't laugh out loud, and hurriedly responded to go back to the main hall.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Dingya to return to the yamen, and he received the order in the main hall according to the ceremony, asking him to hand over the matters in hand within three days and go to the capital to report on his work.

Although Zhang Dingya led the soldiers in his hands, he had a deputy in his hand, and he did few chores, and it was cheap to hand over, and he walked around since he was a child, and he was used to everything simple, and he didn't have much luggage to pack, but a personal soldier helped to do it, and it was okay to wrap up a big burden.

He didn't care about the people next to him, but only deliberately explained a thing, saying that he should not ride the horse of the post station, as long as he rode his favorite horse, and shouted that the soldiers must feed the good forage in advance, so as not to think that the grass made for supper at night is unpalatable when he goes out, and he will lose his temper.

Zhang Dingya finished cleaning up this place, and saw that he was about to leave early the next morning, and was about to go out to see his beloved horse, but he heard a knock on the door outside, and the post guard asked outside: "Metropolitan Prison, there are a few old people in the city waiting outside, saying that they have something to see." ”

He knew that he had come for the events of the previous days, and hurriedly said, "Invite them to sit in the hall and drink tea, and I will come here." Then he casually pulled off a shirt cover on the table, cleaned up carefully, and hurried to the post hall.

There were already three people waiting in the hall, all of whom were old men with high moral standing and deep knowledge in the city, and when they saw Zhang Dingya coming in, everyone stood up to greet them.

The two sides met the courtesy, and when the first old man presented a booklet in his hand, he said: "General Lao, this is the words of the people in the state, please transfer it to the Gou Yuan, please take the time to see, it is all Yongzhou people sincere." ”

His words were solemn, and while he said it, his eyes were slightly red.

Zhang Dingya hurriedly took it with both hands, and said in his mouth: "Old man, please rest assured, when I go to the capital, I will hand it over to Yanzhang by hand!" ”

He flipped the book in his hand, only a little strange, and asked: "There is only one thing, that day I said that there was a book of the people to bring back to Beijing with me, and handed it into the book, please take care of Yongzhou in the court, and send Yanzhang here as an official, but I don't know where the book of the people is at this time?" ”

As soon as he said this, he saw that the three people on the other side glanced at each other, but they took a step forward and knelt on the ground together.

The man who started with the first said, "This is our own decision...... Please also ask the general to send our words to Gouyuan, and he will say...... The people of Yongzhou are united in their hearts, please go to the imperial court, be a good official, it is best to stay in the capital every year, and don't go back to Guangnan......"

Zhang Dingya was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't react for a long time.

The old man said, tears flowed down like water, and he only choked up: "It's not easy to get promoted to the Gouyuan, he has made so many great achievements, and now he is just a Gouyuan official, and finally has the opportunity to return to Beijing, there is still a lot of way to go in the future, I just hope that he will be prosperous, and don't be bound by the small border land of Yongzhou......"

When he said this, he couldn't help it anymore, covered his face and cried, leaned his head on the ground, and said vaguely: "Gouyuan is only twenty years old this year, please take care of his body, it is best to live a long life in this life, always remember me and other people in Beijing, he is so capable, don't learn bad in the future, just think about me from time to time...... To help our people make a living, not only in Yongzhou, but also in one country, so as to live up to our hard work today......"

When he had said this, he only knew how to fall on the ground and weep, and he could not speak for a long time.

One of the people next to him was also crying, but he continued: "Please also ask the general to tell the Gouyuan that he has done good deeds in the court, and we will offer him incense in Yongzhou...... No matter what his descendants are, the people here will not forget it year after year, and they will pass it on to their descendants in the future, and explain to them...... Please let him be an official with peace of mind, and no one else needs to think about it......"

He also said: "I just say that everyone in Yongzhou misses him, I hope he doesn't want to come back, I hope that he can make great contributions to any official appointment, and enter Taiwan and enter the cabinet as soon as possible...... The people of Yongzhou didn't want him to come back, so they begged him to stay in the court...... When the future is gone, the people of Yongzhou should beat gongs and drums, find someone to go to the capital to pick him up, and only retire here...... We will provide for his family's food, clothing, housing and transportation......"

Hearing this, Zhang Dingya's face was already full of tears, and he didn't even know how to reply, only knew that he was standing on the spot.
