Everything finally settled, and it was all up to his own prince to suppress the riot with his own strength, and those horse bandits with high martial arts were not one of them, and these soldiers were all convinced.

Originally, these people thought that the image of this prince was a young man who could pay them money by doing practical things, but they didn't expect that when the horse bandits invaded, they were willing to risk their lives, guard the city gate, and rescue the people outside.

For these young men, there is nothing more than these things to make them feel good and admire, as soon as the fifty people at the gate of the north city go back, they describe what happened at the gate of the north city to the other fifty soldiers, and the more than one hundred people left the barracks, and said to the others, this time, the people of the entire Huangsha County know what kind of person this old man is, and their good impression of him is rising gradually.

After so many years, the imperial court finally sent a person who did practical things over? Thinking of the fact that he killed his predecessor Xu Sanjin on the street, and later gave money to the people, his impression of the imperial court has been constantly changing over the years, and he has a good impression of this new prince, at least he is willing to believe that he may really bring something different to Huangsha County.

In the long-vacant prison of the Yamen.

The four horse bandits who were directly captured by Gu Xuan were all hooked through the pipa bone and hung on the pillar.

These people are all cultivators, it is not so difficult to protect anything, and the most important thing is that no one will be polite to this kind of heinous horse bandits, that is, they still need to be interrogated and squeezed out of the surplus value on their bodies, otherwise they would have been killed on the street long ago, saving them from wasting food to feed them.

Gu Xuan thought about it, assigned Jinglong, Zhu Dachun and Ma Erhu to stay here to do some interrogation work, and then appointed two officials to help with it, and then walked out directly.

As soon as he walked to the county office, he was about to freshen up, rest for a day or two, and at least change out of his blood-stained clothes, but Chen Anmin, who was inside, had already gotten the news and ran in with a happy face.

"Lord Wang, someone has come to sign up for the yamen's errand!"

Gu Xuan's eyebrows raised, the previous notices to recruit interested people to serve in the yamen had been sent out for a few days, and no one had come to the door, and now someone suddenly came to him, naturally he was very surprised, knowing that this was a good start, and he was happy at the moment.

"Go, where are the people?"

Chen Anmin leaned over, followed behind in small steps, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Lord Wang, people have been arranged to the living room according to your previous instructions." ”

Gu Xuan asked while taking off his coat, "What kind of person is it?"

"Ugh. Chen Anmin lowered his head and thought for a long time, as if he didn't think of how to describe it, Gu Xuan was still annoyed by the casualties of the militia in his heart, and when he looked at Chen Anmin's nest, he was angry, and said coldly: "Forget it, this king will go and see it himself." ”

Chen Anmin gave a cold face, quite embarrassed, he was originally here to invite credit, who would have thought that this prince would be so faceless.

Gu Xuan first went back to his courtyard to bathe and change clothes, and then let the maid alienate her hair, and then came out.

When I arrived at the living room, I saw that there was a person sitting in the guest seat inside, wearing a plain scribe's robe, with a long beard on his chin, sitting on a chair, with his hands on his knees, tall and straight, and his temperament was elegant.

As soon as Gu Xuan entered the door and saw the other party, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it carefully, but the latter had already stood up at this time, walked in front of Gu Xuan, pushed forward with both hands, and bowed deeply, this is the highest etiquette of a literati.

"Lord Wang!"

Gu Xuan was unusually surprised and sighed, "It turned out to be you!"

The middle-aged scribe stroked his long hair, smiled kindly, and nodded lightly: "Lord Wang, I said before I came to Japan when you and I will meet each other, and it should be today." ”

It turned out that this person was none other than the middle-aged Taoist priest who was pulling Gu Xuan's fortune teller on the side of the road in Xicheng District, the capital about a month ago, but he somehow came here.

Gu Xuan waved his hand, and the others in the room all retreated with interest, and in the blink of an eye, only him and the middle-aged scribe were left in the room.

With a slight arch of his hand, even if he was saluted, Gu Xuan sat on the main seat and said indifferently: "I haven't asked for Mr. 's name yet." ”

The middle-aged scribe smiled: "It's easy to say, the next surname is Lu, and a single name is a word." ”

Gu Xuan asked straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, did you really want to join my yamen when you came here today?"

Back then, a sentence of the hidden dragon should not be used, but now that I think about it, it seems that there is really a little bit of truth, and I can't help but think a little more highly of this person at the moment, not to mention that the other party is also the demeanor of a generation of celebrities just by looking at his appearance, which makes people can't help but admire and want to talk to him.

But he Gu Xuan is not stupid, this appearance and the inside are two different things, just looking at the appearance is good and blindly obeying the other party, that is a real fool.

But what Gu Xuan couldn't figure out the most was why this person came to Huangsha County, you must know that after he left the capital, he hurried to come, and as soon as he came, he continued to block the city and prevent people from entering and leaving, that is to say, this person must have come to Huangsha County earlier than him to take the initiative to ask for this official position today, and more importantly, a Jianghu Taoist, how did he know that he would come to Huangsha County to serve?

Could it be that there are really strange people in this world who know the future and the past?

How else to explain this?

Gu Xuan thought about these questions, and was even more afraid than he was about to come when the gate of the North City was almost lost just now, what kind of person is this person?

But now that the yamen is indeed at the time of employing people, if the other party is really talented, Gu Xuan doesn't mind using him, and since he has to invest in his own door, he naturally has his own merits, but this public affairs are not as good as fortune-telling and gossiping, these are two different things, if he doesn't have this ability, he can only ask him to leave.

The middle-aged scribe Lu said: "It's not a secret, I am indeed here to help the fifth prince." ”

"I, why?" Gu Xuan instantly noticed the other party's title, neither the prince nor the adult, but still the fifth prince.

Lu Yi said calmly: "Good birds choose trees to perch, and Confucian self-cultivation governs the country and levels the world, which is also the ambition of the next." ”

Gu Xuan was not moved by him, but said: " This is strange, don't say anything else, let's first say that my eldest brother Gu Yuan, his reputation has always been excellent, he has the style of a gentleman and a countryman, that is, the teachers of the Guozi Supervision Palace have praised him for his benevolence and virtue, and my second brother Gu Cang is even more amazing, hundreds of sons, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them are long, dedication to national policy, governance of the people, poetry and articles spread all over the world, can be called the first person in ancient times, and my third brother Gu Li, fourth brother Gu Hai are also outside the mountains to build a mansion, Lixian corporal, raising doormen, all the heroes, you want to realize your ambitions, you don't look for these people, you look for me? To put it simply, I can only nest in this poor Huangsha County now, and the other princes can directly allow you to hold important positions in the court, wouldn't this be more in line with your goals?"

He is not stupid, people are so deliberately approaching, where can he not ask to understand, no matter how the other party answers, at least he has to make him feel at ease.

Lu Yi said seriously: "Why should the fifth prince be arrogant? Although Huangsha County is small, it can be the land of the prince's dragon and prosperity, even if the prince is suspicious, but where is there anyone available in the yamen now? Not to mention the others, who will handle the backlog of cases and official affairs over the years? The prince now believes in me and delegates power to me, and I will not let the prince regret today's choice!"

Even if he is to the point, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, no matter how he explains, it is not as direct as explaining his own importance, especially he knows that the superiors have their own arrogance, and they all feel that they can control their subordinates, as long as the subordinates can solve his troubles and do things well, the origin or something is not so important.

His calculation was right, and Gu Xuan really fell silent.

Lu Yi hurriedly added another fire and said, "Does the prince feel that there is something on his body that he is greedy for?"

Gu Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "You're right, I don't have anything long, the only thing of value is this sword given by my father, it is true that there is no money and other things worthy of being coveted by outsiders." ”

"Then please allow me a chance to show, and then it will not be too late for the prince to make a decision. ”

Gu Xuan raised his head and said curiously, "How can this be displayed?"

Lu Yi said: "Since I am here today, what I want is the position of the first strategist under the fifth prince, and there is no evidence, so naturally I want to show my ability to the fifth prince, please take it to the county government hall." ”

Gu Xuan no longer procrastinated at the moment, turned his heart sideways, and said directly: "Please come with me!"

The two saluted each other, and then walked out of the living room together and walked towards the lobby, Chen Anmin, who was waiting at the door, ate a butt of ashes again, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only follow the two people silently, not daring to speak.
