Although Tao Ji said it easily, how can it be so simple to save lives.

It's not, Yao Yu is grateful again, but at the same time of thanks, he has new doubts.

If what Tao Ji said was true, he and he had met him when he first came to Xiyang County, so why did he stand up and save himself.

I don't have any friendship with him.

Asking what was in his heart, Tao Ji was silent.

It was only after a long time that he spoke, "Because you are a good man, a good ruler who is dedicated to the people. You can't die, and you can't die at the hands of these little guys."

Yao Yu looked at Tao Ji with a surprised expression.

Just kidding, I've been in Xiyang County for so many days, but I didn't do anything, so I caught a Man Yi, how do you see that I'm a good official?

may have also realized Yao Yu's thoughts, Tao Ji explained with a smile: "My lord, you don't have to look at me like this, I am the master of Xiyang County, and the large and small files of Xiyang County are all kept here by me. So, I know all about the fact that you asked Lord Chen Zhong to mobilize the dossier."

"You're going to judge me as a good person?"

"Of course not, the main thing is that you dare to catch Manyi. Moreover, he also sent people to collect evidence of the crime. From this point of view, you really intend to punish Manyi, not make a show. So, I think you're a good officer."

"Aren't you afraid that I did this on purpose, so as to blackmail the whole family?"

"If you blackmail the Manchu family, will you hang Manyi?"

In a word, Yao Yu was asked.

He was silent for a long time: "You are the master of Luo Qi's promotion, I killed Luo Wei, it stands to reason that you should hate me, but now, you have saved my life."

Tao Ji took a deep breath: "To tell you the truth, I didn't think so from the time you first came, and I don't know what kind of person you are. So, I've been watching you these days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rescued you in the first place. Although I am the chief secretary of Luo Yan's promotion, it does not mean that I agree with his attitude towards the people."

Speaking of this, Tao Ji said what was in his heart to Yao Yu.

He was originally from a poor family in Xiyang County, and he was erudite and talented since he was a child, but because of his background, he couldn't go to a higher position, and in the end, he was no longer immersed in officialdom, but was idle at home and gave lectures at school.

It was for this reason that he was able to get acquainted with the heads of the major families in Xiyang County.

Later, Luo Wei made the county order of Xiyang County, and in order to get close to the masters, he asked Tao Ji to go out of the mountain to serve as his main book.

At the beginning, Luo Wei was very close to the people, and for this reason, Tao Ji went out to help him. But unexpectedly, it was all his disguise.

After getting to know the masters of each family through Tao Ji, Luo Wei stopped pretending and tore off his mask.

He joined forces with the heads of his family to oppress the people and fish in the village.

Tao Ji, who realized that he had been deceived, was remorseful and wanted to resign, but he was afraid that he would leave, and Luo Yan would have no one to discipline him at all.

No matter how you say it, Tao Ji's prestige is here, and with him, Luo Wei doesn't dare to go too far.

It is also for this reason that Tao Ji has been working under Luo Wei against his will.

Later, Luo Yu provoked Yao Yu to be killed, and Yao Yu concurrently served as the county magistrate of Xiyang County. After Tao Ji inquired about Yao Yuxian's behavior, his heart began to be active again.

If Yao Yu is really a parent official who is dedicated to the people, then it is not impossible for him to take the initiative to worship.

No, it is through these observations, coupled with Yao Yu's attitude towards the Manchu family, that Tao Ji was completely convinced. When Yao Yu was hunted down and killed just now, he resolutely took action and sheltered Yao Yu.

Hearing Tao Ji say this, Yao Yu suddenly realized.

Emotional Tao Ji is also a good person who is dedicated to the people, but he has no ambitions.

Thinking of this, Yao Yu sighed: "Although my heart is for the people, obviously, these wealthy families occupy the vast majority of resources and voices, and if you want the people to live well, you are destined to stand on the opposite side of the family."

Tao Ji smiled: "I believe in greatness

You have no problem, the family in the county, isn't it very honest that you have cleaned up?"

Yao Yu also smiled: "Aren't you afraid to follow me, you will go against these families? Will it be a thorn in their side?"

Tao Ji looked very calm: "People always have to do something in their lives. If I wanted to, I would have been in the same league with Luo Qi and them a long time ago, so why did I wait until now?"

"If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't be in the predicament I am in today."

Yao Yu sighed.

Tao Ji smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Just as the two were chatting, the shouts of killing outside the door shook the sky.

Immediately following Youzhong, the voice of Yao Bao Chen Zhong calling Yao Yu sounded in the yamen.

When Tao Ji heard this, he turned back to Yao Yu and said, "My lord, the rescuers are here."

Yao Yuyue was in high spirits, and turned back to Tao Ji and said, "Mr. Tao, let's go and meet your future colleagues."

These words made Tao Ji stunned, and in the next second, he pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, bowed to Yao Yu and said, "Subordinate Tao Ji, I have seen my lord."

···

Yao Bao was very panicked, he put out the fire with his front foot, and learned the news that the Yamen was attacked by the enemy with his back foot.

No, he led the team and Chen Zhong and Shen Cheng to rush back, and when they returned to the Yamen, the traitors had already attacked the Yamen.

Because he was worried about Yao Yu's safety, Yao Bao led the people to attack desperately.

Under his leadership, the soldiers were like tigers descending from the mountain, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, eliminating the traitors.

It's just that Yao Yu can't be found, and Yao Bao panics.

Just when Yao Bao tried several times to see Yao Yu's shadow, and he wanted to cry on the spot, there was a squeak, and the door not far away was pushed open. Immediately after, Yao Yu, who was full of tiredness, led a Confucian student about forty years old out.

Yao Bao knew this Confucian student, and he had seen him when he was collecting evidence of Manyi's crimes before, and he seemed to be the master of Xiyang County.

But at this moment, Yao Bao couldn't care much about it, hurried to him, and grabbed Yao Yu's shoulder: "Brother, you scared me to death, where did you go?" Are you alright?"

As soon as he came up, Yao Bao sent out a series of questions, and it could be seen that he was really scared.

Yao Yu waved his hand: "I'm fine, fortunately, I have Tao Ji to help, otherwise, the two of us brothers will be separated by yin and yang."

Yao Bao was stunned when he heard this: "Tao Ji?"

Yao Yu said yes and introduced Tao Ji to Yao Bao.

When he learned that it was Tao Ji who saved Yao Yu, Yao Bao sighed, knelt on the ground, and was grateful to Tao Ji.

This frightened Tao Ji, and hurriedly helped Yao Bao up: "Lord Yao Bao, you can't help it, you can't help it. How can he be virtuous, how can he receive such a great gift?"

"No, Mr. saved my brother, that is Yao Bao's great benefactor, Mr. is above, accept me again!"
