"Didn't you say that? Adults are very busy, and I don't have the time to see you! I advise you to leave early, or don't blame us for being polite! ”

Catching Kuai said impatiently, and as he spoke, he also reached out and pulled Huo Yanshen outside the official mansion.

Who knew that Huo Yanshen was very strong when he was tough, as if he was nailed to the ground, he didn't move at all, and let the catchers pull him.

"What are you doing?!" Just when he was about to pull Huo Yanshen out, the master's voice sounded unhappily behind him.

When the catchers heard this, they hurriedly stood up in an orderly manner, and the leader of them stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Master is polite, this person has to come to beat the drum of injustice without knowing whether he is alive or dead, I am worried that it will disturb the adult's busyness, so I am going to pull him out......"

"Idiot!" Before the leader's words were finished, the master's eyes widened and he scolded viciously.

The leader shrank his head, although he felt very aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"This drum of grievances was originally used for the common people to redress their grievances, and besides, we adults love the people like sons and work hard to make the country prosperous, how can someone beat the drum of grievances, how can it still be pulled out?"

The master raised his hand and touched the beard on his chin, the master's eyes were looking at the leader, but the words were for Huo Yanshen.

Huo Yanshen's expression was faint, just as if he didn't understand what his master said, he was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that these lords in the officialdom didn't like too smart people, so Huo Yanshen simply pretended to be stupid to the end, just looked at the master in a daze, and didn't speak.

Master's mouth moved, feeling very bored, he coughed lightly, looked at Huo Yanshen and said, "Why are you again?" ”

Huo Yanshen stepped forward, raised his hand and hugged his fist, and opened his mouth to explain his intention: "Master Qiqi, the villain is in a hurry, and he wants to meet the county lord, so please do well and take the villain over." ”

When the master heard this, his eyes widened: "You are a little arrogant when you speak, and you don't say the purpose of coming, you want to see the adult when you come up?" When you are a vegetable market, you can see whoever you want? ”

Huo Yanshen was silent for a while, and then reluctantly spoke: "If it's a trivial matter, the small one doesn't dare to trouble the adult, but this is a matter of human life, so I have to report it." ”

"Lives matter?" The master snorted coldly when he heard it: "It's not that I said you, you also went to the temple to let those Taoist priests give you a good exorcism, last time you said that you met two wicked people, and this time you encountered a major event that is vital to human life, and your life is not peaceful." ”

After the master's taunt was finished, all the surrounding catchers laughed.

Huo Yanshen's expression was unmoved:

"Master, please take a trip and tell your lord that Zhang Lin, who was exiled before, has now come back safely, and the exiled prisoner came back privately, this is a heinous crime, if you don't do it, even the local officials will be held accountable, and please pay attention to it."

"Y-You're threatening us?" When the master heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he asked.

"Master said so, that's really wronged." Huo Yanshen knew that the words had already come to this point, and the master would definitely not be able to pretend: "The little one is waiting here for the news of the adult, please ask the master to go in and tell the county master what the villain said just now." ”

"You wait for me!" The master glared at Huo Yanshen and hurriedly walked back.

In fact, the master and the county Cheng both knew about Zhang Lin's return, and the master went back to tell the county in a panic, mainly because of what Huo Yanshen said.

If the county lord still hides and refuses to see people, then Huo Yanshen can't say what kind of thing he will do.

The master hurriedly walked to the back 1, and after the county lord saw the master's panicked appearance, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly asked: "What are you doing with this burning butt, is it difficult to be the one outside, don't you have a solution?" ”

The master raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "Master, that Huo Yanshen doesn't look like a good person, he threatened me outside just now, saying that if you don't go out to see him, master, he will stab this matter to the county magistrate!" ”

"He dares!" The county lord slammed the cup in his hand and said angrily: "If he dares to go out and say half a word, I will break his leg!" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord is mighty. It's just that master, this matter still has to consider the impact, that Huo Yanshen is not an ordinary person, the Huo family opened a grocery store in Yun County, and there are too many people coming and going in the shop, besides, that Huo Yanshen likes to go south, if he says this kind of thing, then everything will be over. ”

The master said patiently, people's words are terrifying, if you don't want this matter to reach the ears of the county magistrate, it can only block the mouths of the people.

"So what do you want me to do? Could it be true that I was allowed to go out to meet that Huo Yanshen? What do I say when I see him! The county lord said angrily.

"Don't worry, sir, no matter what, you are a county magistrate, he is just a flat-headed commoner, even if he has a stomach of questions to ask, then he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous." The master walked to the county lord's side, raised his hand, silently lifted the county man and beat his shoulder, and spoke.

"Okay, then the official will go out and meet this Huo Yanshen for a while, and see what he wants to say."

The county man said this, threw the brush in his hand aside, walked to the house, and prepared to put on his official robe.

Huo Yanshen stood motionless at the door of the official mansion, and several trappers around him followed him, and no one dared to act rashly.

At this time, the master walked over from it with a spring breeze on his face, changed his attitude just now, and said to Huo Yanshen: "Huo Yanshen, our adults are invited." ”

Huo Yanshen frowned, so dignified, the master's attitude changed very quickly, and most importantly, with his understanding of the county, how could he let a flat-headed person like Huo Yanshen step into his private area?

"Master, the small one has a humble identity, and I'm afraid it will dirty the adult's place, so the little one should wait here." Huo Yan clenched his fists and said.

A trace of impatience flashed in the master's eyes, but then he smiled: "Where is this?" Are we adults that kind of snob? Come in with me, don't you have something to ask your lord, and if you go in late, you won't have a chance today. ”

Huo Yanshen hesitated, and before he could make a decision, the master glanced at the two catchers on the side.

Zhu Kuai understood what the master meant, so he walked to both sides of Huo Yanshen and said politely: "Please." ”

Huo Yan thought about it deeply, even if nothing good would happen inside, at least it wouldn't hurt his life, thinking about it like this, it wouldn't be easy to go in.

"Then Master Lao will lead the way." Huo Yan thought of this, so he relaxed a little, followed behind his master, and walked in with him.

The county Cheng had already been waiting for Huo Yanshen's arrival in his study, and after seeing Huo Yanshen, the county Cheng first asked everyone else to go out, leaving only Huo Yanshen and his master to stay in the study with him.

"Huo Yanshen, I have admired the name for a long time, I have admired the name for a long time." Xian Cheng sat at the desk, looked at Huo Yanshen on the chair, and said meaningfully.

This sentence is not entirely an exaggeration, the Huo family's business is also well-known in Yun County, as the parent official of this place, the county Cheng naturally knows this.

"The adults praise it falsely, but the little ones dare not be ashamed." Huo Yanshen lowered his head and said quietly.

"I know what you're doing here, but it's just for that Zhang Lin, right?" The county didn't hide it, and asked directly.

Huo Yanshen nodded: "Exactly, the little one can't understand why the person who has been sentenced to exile has returned home in such a short time." ”

"Heck, it's called a thing, and it's a little complicated to say." The county and the master glanced at each other, and the eyes of the two of them were cunning.

"When you sent Zhang Lin and that woman in, the official didn't say a word, and sent the two of them away, you don't have anything else to say about this, right?"

"That's nature." Huo Yanshen continued to nod and said expressionlessly.

"As the parent official of one side of the people, it is naturally not a problem to maintain the peace of one party, but maintenance is maintenance, and it is necessary to pay attention to some other things."

The county man paused, coughed lightly, but his tone suddenly changed, and he spoke.

"The little one doesn't quite understand what you mean, Lord Xiancheng." Huo Yanshen frowned, and asked puzzledly.

"Speaking of choking, there is no danger of choking, after Zhang Lin was sent down, one day, when I was commanding people to sort out the county chronicles, I suddenly found that Zhang Lin's ancestor was once a minister of the imperial court, and he also saved the emperor of the current dynasty once, in order to reward the courage of Zhang Lin's ancestors, so His Majesty the emperor at that time gave a hereditary title to the Zhang family, speaking of which, Zhang Lin is also a descendant of the marquis."

Huo Yanshen almost didn't have a seizure on the spot, but he kept thinking back to the words that Yang Chunyan arranged for him when he came out, and he knew that at this time, he couldn't solve everything with his fists.

Huo Yanshen knew about Zhang Lin, the ancestor with the title mentioned in the county's mouth, but it was nearly a hundred years ago to save the knighthood, and Zhang Lin was just a person who could not be a side branch of the family.

The Zhang family at the time of the ancestor was huge, with more sons and more daughters, if he spoke like this according to the county, then Huo Yanshen would be able to find hundreds of descendants and the "Zhang family".

"The official thought that he couldn't punish the descendants of meritorious people in this way, so he let people go over and let them back, which was also a good thing for the hard work and loyalty of the ancestors."

The county said very sincerely, Huo Yanshen looked at him for a long time, and he didn't find any flaws.
