looked at the visitor in a daze, and said in amazement: "Big brother, why is it you?" ”

The man laughed and said, "Why can't it be me?" Good brother-in-law, speaking of which, I really have a great light on you. ”

The wind festival raised his eyebrows leisurely beside him, hey, it's so lively.

Lu Dongli coughed dryly, turned his head to Feng Jinjie and said, "General Feng, this is my brother-in-law." ”

Feng Jinjie smiled, made an unusually enthusiastic expression, and bowed his hand to Su Ling: "It turns out that Master Su has a close friendship with us Lu Dashuai, so it was rude." ”

Su Ling was busy and polite, and said continuously: "General Feng is polite." ”

Lu Dongli coughed violently for a while, Feng Jinjie turned his head with a smile, and asked with a concerned face: "Dashuai, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you get a cold last night? ”

Lu Dongli skillfully glared at him viciously from an angle that Su Ling couldn't see.

Feng Jinjie thought that it would not be a good thing to offend the boss under the low eaves, so he swallowed back a lot of greetings behind. just smiled: "Presumably, Dashuai and Master Su haven't seen each other for a long time, and there must be many old things to tell, and the last general will not dare to disturb and leave here." ”

He retreated, walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and said with a smile: "Lu Dashuai, is the matter to be discussed today put on hold for the time being?" ”

Lu Dongli glared at him almost with murderous eyes: "Such a trivial matter, do you still need me to explain?" ”

Feng Jinjie said one after another: "Yes, yes, the end will be damned." Three steps and two steps, he hurriedly retreated, walked out of the main hall of the Shuai Mansion, shook his head at Wang Dabao, who was waiting for the signal in a hurry, and waved his hand: "I won't do it today, let everyone disperse." ”

Wang Dabao muttered with a disappointed face, "The big guys are looking forward to a good show, how can it be good, and I won't do it again." ”

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare not do anything in the end, so he turned around and left.

Feng Jinjie glanced back at the main hall, obviously with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

The original good drama can't be performed, and another big drama seems to have to be played.

As soon as the guy who was in the way of the Wind Festival went out, Lu Dongli finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked Su Ling to take a seat.

When it comes to official positions, he is naturally much older than Su Ling, but when it comes to family etiquette, he wants to call Su Ling his brother, like them, scholarly disciples, between the young and the old, the etiquette has always been thoughtful, and there is absolutely no reason to oppress people with official positions.

However, Su Ling himself was a little frightened, his face was full of smiles, and he showed some flattery to this brother-in-law who was getting bigger and bigger, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Dongli didn't pay attention for a while, but just asked: "Big brother, how can you be an escort officer?" ”

Su Ling hurriedly smiled and said: "Dongli, you also know that your eldest brother and I are not a scholar material, I received the grace of the imperial court and donated an official position, but I have always been an empty title, let me run around in every possible way, make trouble all over the house, and never get a real shortage, I lost hope when I saw it, and suddenly received an official document, only then did I know that I had been appointed as the official of Zhenjiang Mansion." ”

Lu Dongli frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Su Ling said with a smile: "I was still wondering, these years, how many people who have donated empty officials are active, I don't have half an acquaintance in Zhenjiang Mansion, for no reason, how can this great benefit fall on my head, and as soon as I arrived in Zhenjiang Mansion, not only did the prefect personally meet me, but within a few days, even the governor summoned me to meet him, and verbally comforted me, and repeatedly said that as long as I do well, I will be promoted, I was wondering to myself, only to see the news in the newspaper that you were the coach of Dingyuanguan, it didn't take long, The prefect asked me to go to the governor's yamen to listen to the errand and take over the escort work, and I realized that it was all because you suddenly became the marshal of Dingyuan Pass, and your face was as big as the sky, and the officials of several nearby counties and counties wanted to give you convenience. In the future, the military supplies will be transported by me, so that the two phases will be given, and everyone can meet often. ”

He said here with his eyebrows fluttering and his emotions were high, but Lu Dongli couldn't say what he was suffering about.

Originally, he planned to borrow the quartermaster's officials to make a powerful move. Now how can he slap the table on his wife's own brother and want to hit someone. Originally, he wanted to threaten that whoever sent the military supplies in the future would have to march the military law and cut off his head, but before he could speak, they would find his eldest uncle. Could he have cut off Su Wanzhen's biological brother's head?

"By the way, Wanzhen heard that I had a real shortage, and she was very happy for me, and she knew that I was in charge of Zhenjiang Mansion, which was very close to you, so she wrote to me and asked me to take care of you at all times." Su Ling smiled and said, "Dongli, I also know, you are at the pass here, there is nothing you want, don't worry, Zhenjiang is a prosperous and good place, what do you lack, just say it, I will bring it to you next time." ”

He deliberately mentioned Su Wanzhen like this, which caused a burst of tenderness and guilt in Lu Donglian's heart, and he couldn't make a face to this uncle.

He hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Does the eldest brother really want to be this pusher?" ”

"Of course?" Su Ling said as a matter of course, "Although the official is only six grades, he is the adjutant of the prefect, who is in charge of the criminal name of the prefect, and has great power, it is a hot position, I can be divided into such a real shortage, and I can be regarded as satisfied, by the way, why did you suddenly mention it."

?? Could it be ......" he asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "Dong Li, I still have a way to make me."

Lu Dongli coughed indiscriminately, completely dispelling the idea of persuading him to resign.

Su Ling looked at him with concern: "Dongli, why do you see you coughing non-stop when I see you, you must take care of yourself, now the future of our Sulu family depends on you alone." ”

Lu Dongli was so cared for by him, and he coughed violently, choking with red faces.

Su Ling was concerned, stood up and hurriedly wanted to pat his shoulder and rub his chest for him: "Dong Li, Dong Li, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Dongli smiled bitterly: "Not long after I first arrived at the border pass, I was a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, and my body was unwell, so I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany my eldest brother more." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you go and rest, your body is the most important." Su Ling said generously: "Just let the soldiers arrange a room for me casually." ”

Lu Dongli was slightly stunned: "Big brother wants to stay, don't you have to rush back to pay errands?" ”

"Our relatives haven't seen each other for so long, how can we leave. Besides, the prefect and the governor have all told me to stay at the border for a while, to see what the soldiers need, what is lacking at the border pass, what is missing, I will go back to report, they are also prepared, although this year, no one's life is easy, but the border soldiers need, we just have to prepare no matter how difficult it is, isn't it? ”

The words were kind enough and nice enough, Lu Dongli was just silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Then I have to grieve my eldest brother to stay in this desolate place for a few more days." ”

After entertaining Su Ling, he asked his soldiers to quickly arrange the best room for him in the Shuai Mansion to ensure that he was given the best hospitality within the limited conditions of the Shuai Mansion, and after ordering someone to take care of Su Ling's entourage, Lu Dongli was dejected as if he had lost a battle and returned to the room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Feng Jinjie smiling under the candlelight: "Why, when our Lu Dashuai meets his brother-in-law, he doesn't plan to kill his relatives in righteousness?" ”

Lu Dongli smiled bitterly: "He was also used, and it has only been less than half a month since he took office, even if there is that greedy military money, it has nothing to do with him, if I take him for nothing, he is too innocent." ”

Feng Jinjie said with a smile: "Even other escort officers, they may not really get much benefit, but they just do things according to the rules and escort things on the orders of their bosses, and we do it to them, but it's just for show, first, these officials are not under our control, and second, there is no need to really tear your face and grudge with the rear, but now you can't even do it if you are acting and putting on a prestige." ”

Lu Dongli sighed and sat down, and said for a long time: "Am I not doing enough, should I do it for the sake of the country, whether he is a relative or not, whether he is an acquaintance or not, beat and scold, kill and slash without discrimination, and let those officials in the rear take a look, let them know that my determination is not something that anyone can shake." ”

Feng Jinjie smiled at his pained eyes in the candlelight: "Will you do this?" ”

Lu Dongli was silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

The jumping candlelight, in the depths of Feng Jinjie's eyes, reflected a faint warmth: "There is nothing wrong with this, if you really do this, it is not a righteous annihilation, but the extinction of human nature." This uncle of yours, we don't care whether his heart is good or not, but at least so far, he is innocent, those dirty things, he should not have had time to touch his hands, whether he will go with the flow in the future and help the rebellion, for the time being, if we hurt him now, we are too ruthless and unrighteous. ”

Feng Jinjie said calmly, "Although a clean official is very respectable, I don't like the kind of guy who is a clean official and selfless in selflessness, so he can take what he wants from his relatives and arrange it wantonly, and he can be high up and demand the people around him with the behavior of a saint." To be a clean official, not to bring up relatives, not to help them to go down, but to use your own position to forcibly interfere in other people's lives, cut off other people's futures, and restrict other people's choices, this is too much. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled: "If I do something wrong and my relatives kill my relatives in righteousness, even if I don't blame him, but deep down, I will always leave this knot, not to mention, your brother-in-law has not done anything worthy of destroying him so far, at most he is not considerate enough to you, and he is unwilling to give up his own future for your great ideals." ”

Lu Dongli was silent, although Feng Jinjie was always angry with him, although he always liked to throw two more stones into the well when he was embarrassed, but many times, it was often Feng Jinjie who understood him the most and understood him the most.

It's just that the more people know themselves, the more desolate and helpless his mood is at the moment, he stood up and paced two steps slowly, and then asked: "How many things are there this time?" ”

"That's a lot, more than twice as much as usual. I don't know if this is to give you the face of the new official, or the effect of those letters, but ...... "Wind Festival shrugs" is still much less than we expected. ”

Lu Dongli was silent, and said for a long time: "No matter what, you must get your hands on things." ”

When he said this, there was a ruthlessness in his eyes that was rare for a reader.
