I listened carefully to what the woman said for a long time, but I had never seen this person, and it was just hearsay.

It's just that I heard that he committed the prestige of the Dragon King in his early years, and the county did not allow him.

As soon as he heard this, he became interested, and said to Wenliang that there was no one to find left and right, and it didn't hurt to go and see.

In fact, she thought to herself that the days she had been circulating seemed to be raining every day, and she heard the woman say that this person had something to do with the rain, and she must have seen it.

And Tongcheng is worry-free at this time, and she also has time.

When the first batch of people released by the review finally bypassed Liangzhou City and rushed to Beiyu territory, they got the news that the Huaiyang Army was heading south to Tongcheng, so they turned around and rushed back.

When Shen Jing entered Liangzhou City three days ago, the messenger followed, and as soon as the news that the Liangzhou army occupied Tongcheng arrived, Shen Jing had not had time to prepare his troops and horses, and the second batch of people who reported the news also entered Liangzhou.

As soon as Liu Zhu "captured" Liangzhou City, Beiyu Xizuo in the city sent the news out. The two news collided in one place, perhaps because he felt that it was boring for the rabble in Tongcheng to kill, or perhaps it was forced by the situation in Beiyu and Southern Chu, Shen Jing finally abandoned Tongcheng and went to Guangyang County with the Huaiyang army.

And the news of going to Nanchu disappeared like a stone in the sea.

The old man made the secret guard in Liangzhou fall silent and wait for the coming day. Those in Nanchu don't need to take other actions, just wait for news.

Tongcheng can recuperate for the time being.

After arranging this, she came to do her own thing.

Qianlong County is not far from Tongcheng, and the old and the summer sit in the carriage, and Wenliang Zhoutong rides on the horse, wandering in general, and it will arrive in one day.

Qianlong county out of bluestone stone, rich in stone grinding plate, the county is famous for this, all the way, full of large and small white stone, manpower to break the creation, is also a landscape.

In addition, the two sides of the county gate are wrapped in red satin, as if there is some happy event.

Wen Liang took the documents of Tongcheng Taishou and went directly to see the county order.

This county order is surnamed Gong, when Wenliang arrived, he was full of bitterness on his face, but he didn't dare to slack off when he saw the paperwork. summoned a master bookkeeper to follow Wen Liang out of the yamen to see the old man.

If it was more than ten days ago, this document would have changed at most to a bit of politeness on the surface. But now this county order is convenient, and it is sincere inside.

Wen did not inform the county commander of his identity as "too shou aunt", only said that he was a relative, and the county commander heard that Wen Gu and his party were going to see the strange man, and sent someone to call the county lieutenant.

Seeing the cowering appearance of this palace county commander, Wen felt a little strange and a little funny, so he asked, "Isn't this person a little forceful?" We are a group of seven or eight people, and we can't resist it? Do you still want to go to the county lieutenant? ”

Gong County Ling said: "The noble man doesn't know, that person is a little unusual, but not in bravery, but in yin and yang." ”

When the county magistrate said the word yin and yang, he deliberately looked around, as if he didn't dare to speak, for fear of shocking someone.

This statement is also novel, and after visiting the past few days, there are some strange people in the mountains in the countryside who are spread to be miraculous. Others describe their words, "miraculous", "effective", and even "swaggering" and "sideways", but what is the description of this "yin and yang"? It's weird.

Gong County Ling also said that there are now two county lieutenants in this Qianlong County, and the earlier one is a veteran who originally came down from the Dingyi Army, and he naturally has martial arts, but he can't suppress this person, so he went to find a female county lieutenant who is similar to him.

In the past few days, I also learned that Nanchu can tolerate women as officials, and now I hear that what is surprising in these words is that I am looking for a county lieutenant for this person.

Southern Chu and Liangzhou are not far away, and the customs are so strange. But it is not good to say too much between words, so as not to arouse suspicion.

It will take a while to find the female county lieutenant, and while waiting, Wen asked again what the red satin on both sides of the door is.

"The noble man came from Tongcheng, but he didn't know about it?" The county magistrate was a little surprised, but he didn't think deeply, so he said, "After last autumn, I was originally going to prepare for this year's tribute, but I came to our Qianlong County in person, saying that this year I will not only raise talents, but also check the appearance, and even ask the family, and the only son in the family does not want it." ”

Zhixia sighed: "This is really strange, why are there so many strange things in your Qianlong County?" ”

The county order said: "Not only my Qianlong County, but also the nineteen counties of Dachu, and all the villages and counties under its jurisdiction are like this." I see that the noble man is old, and there are no brothers in the family who have taken scientific examinations, so it is normal that he has not heard of it. There are two people in the county who went to Beijing this year, so they tied the red satin. ”

Although the county order said this, what he thought in his heart was that Liu Zhu was a Taishou on the table in the past, and all matters were actually decided by Yang Wantang, and Liu Zhu himself may not be clear, let alone his family.

Wen Gu also understands the meaning of the palace and county order in his heart, and it is normal for people to think of this. But when he said that his face was bitter at this time, thinking that there was something else, he asked, "Lord Gong thinks this matter is unusual?" ”

The county commander hurriedly said: "Don't dare to call it an adult." This matter is unusual, the imperial examination selects people, and it is just a matter of selecting talents to learn their character and family background, but among these three things, they only choose talents to learn, but they also have to ask about their appearance and whether they are only sons. ”

When the palace county order said this, as soon as the words were closed, it was obvious that there was something to be afraid of.

Wen wanted to lead him down, so he said: "My cousin in my clan is still preparing for the imperial examination, if the adults know the inside story, I hope to tell me, so that I can let the family make preparations earlier." ”

Gong County Ling is a warm-hearted, listening to Wen Gu said this, sighed, stepped forward again, and said: "This matter, the lower officials in the county don't know what they said, but our counties have spread the word, last year Ling Guangjun gave His Majesty a divination, saying that we have been defeated in repeated battles with Beiyu, and now the hearts of the courtiers are mostly in the family, not in the court." ”

Thinking to himself, there is more than one Yang Wantang in Tongcheng who is communicating with foreign enemies, not to mention the nineteen counties of Southern Chu. However, seeing that the Emperor of Southern Chu even used divination to calculate this, it is not surprising that they have been defeated repeatedly.

Thinking so in his heart, Wen still asked: "But what does this have to do with the talented family?" ”

Gong County Ling sighed again and said, "According to what Ling Guangjun said, those who have a family are not in the court. Wouldn't it be nice if those who are in the court don't have a family? ”

Wen Gu said suspiciously: "But if this is the case, it is easy to say that young talents, but after years of experience, their age will naturally go up, and if they want to marry and have children at that time, they will not be able to resign?" ”

"That's not going to work, how can there be no old and serious ministers in the court." The county magistrate shook his head and said.

Zhixia asked: "One or two are fine, how can he control so many people from not marrying?" ”

"yes." The magistrate looked around again, "So I heard from them that Ling Guangjun thought of a way to make these nobles simply give up this idea." ”

Wen asked, "How can I do it?" ”

The voice of the county commander was a little lower: "Then give things inside, don't you have this idea?" ”
