"Master Tang, do you really want to embarrass me?" The housekeeper was displeased, as the housekeeper of the prefect's house, he didn't expect a yellow-haired girl, a small street division and a small flag officer, to be so faceless, this has to be changed to usual, he is too lazy to look at the other party with such a small official, he has lowered his posture, he didn't expect the other party to not appreciate it, he is really a little annoyed, but the current situation is not easy to show.

Tang Xiaoyu still said with an attitude of not advancing with oil and salt: "Steward Zhang is serious, I am already doing business, why should I be embarrassed?" ”

Steward Zhang said angrily: "Tang Xiaoyu, I warn you, this matter is related to Lord Cao's reputation, you don't want to miss your future for the sake of two irrelevant pariahs." ”

Tang Xiaoyu is a stubborn girl, in her opinion, a mistake is a mistake, right is right, this has nothing to do with the status of the noble, the reason why she joined the city guard, is completely influenced by her parents, her father and mother taught her what is justice, what is not afraid of the powerful, at this moment, if she is helping two inconspicuous ordinary people, if she puts down the justice in her heart because of the word future in the other party's mouth and chooses to retreat, how can she be worthy of her parents under Jiuquan!

"Even if you make trouble with Lord Cao, even if the commander dismisses me because of this, I will take care of this matter! Besides, if Lord Cao really knows about this, I believe that he will be the same as me, and uphold justice for the untouchables in your mouth! ”

"Well said!" There have been a lot of ordinary people gathered into a bunch of onlookers, including many homeless people who heard the news, when they heard that there were two "peers" fighting with the prefect's nursing home, they all rushed to see the excitement, when they heard Tang Xiaoyu say that he wanted to uphold justice for people like them, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The girl's figure was obviously so petite, but after she said this, Wang Ling suddenly felt that her back had become much taller.

Does this girl have such a sense of justice······ Not to mention this world, even in Wang Ling's previous life, there are not many people like this who are willing to gamble on their future to speak up for the little people, Wang Ling has a little more good impression of this girl who already has two sides, just a good feeling.

The old grandson stroked his beard lightly, showing a satisfied smile, he looked at an alley corner behind him intentionally or unintentionally, an official sedan chair was parked there, and the four sedan chairmen were like four stone statues, standing motionless in the four corners of the sedan chair, the old grandson smiled meaningfully, and then retracted his gaze and continued to watch Tang Xiaoyu and Steward Zhang spray each other.

Steward Zhang was dumbfounded by Tang Xiaoyu, he naturally knew that if he really made trouble with his own master, he learned that it was his own fault, and he must be the one who was punished, in fact, he didn't care about these, the face of the Cao Mansion he cared about was the prestige of his own master, so he wanted to strive for a private settlement, but this yellow-haired girl didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Tang Xiaoyu saw that the housekeeper was short of words, raised his chin proudly, and said with a victorious attitude: "Since the old housekeeper has nothing to say, then you might as well let the two subordinates of your mansion go back to the street division with me to accept the disposal." So he called the two brothers to fetch them.

Seeing this, Steward Zhang shouted: "This is the prefect's mansion!" How can you wait to be presumptuous! The guards got up one after another and stopped the two city guards who were about to take the people.

Zuo Yucheng came to Tang Xiaoyu's side at some point, and whispered in his ear: "Xiaoyu, after all, it is Lord Cao's family, so don't make too much trouble, it's better for us to be direct to Lord Cao, with Lord Cao's conduct, even if it is his own servant, he will definitely handle the case impartially, and even severely punish these evil servants." ”

Tang Xiaoyu was annoyed, and said in his heart, Brother Yucheng, why didn't you say it earlier?! Isn't it time to get off the stage? Just now I just thought about letting this old donkey's eggs deflat, and I was impulsive, and now if I call someone back, wouldn't it be too shameless?

The two city guards were also a little difficult to do, and they really didn't dare to rob the prefect's servants, but Tang Xiaoyu was standing in place at the moment thinking about countermeasures, she didn't give an order, and the brothers were embarrassed to retreat.

It's funny, the people at these two ends are all set up there, and the feeling of not going up and down is a little embarrassing······ At this time, Wang Ling's head was wrapped in gauze like a zongzi, but it did not affect his liveliness.

It was only at this moment that Wang Ling remembered the dead old man, now that he had regained his senses, he searched around, and finally saw that there was no old grandson squatting on the ground to watch the excitement, what are you so ······ Wang Ling almost couldn't hold back his scolding.

The old grandson also saw Wang Lingzheng looking at him, he grinned and raised the water bag in his hand.

Wang Ling looked at the wine jug and was stunned, where did this old miscellaneous hair come from? I fought with people so much that there was no good place on my body, my lips were chapped, you old Wang Ba actually have water to drink?!

As if he knew what Wang Ling was thinking, Lao Sun Tou pointed to one of the city guards, and Wang Ling noticed that only that person's water bag was missing, and the others were still hanging on their waists.

In such a tense situation, why can you run to steal water to drink! How thirsty are you······ In fact, he has a dry mouth, after all, he has not drunk a sip of water until now, and he entered the city as soon as he woke up, thinking that after seeing the old grandson, he could still have a sip of tea and a full meal, but he didn't expect it to become the current situation, Wang Ling looked at the old grandson's complacent appearance, and couldn't cry or laugh.

Tang Xiaoyu and the people in Cao Mansion are now a little embarrassed, but the initiator seems to be out of the matter, looking at the lively posture of not caring about himself, Tang Xiaoyu suddenly feels a little ridiculous, what's the matter with these two people?

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally Steward Zhang took the lead in speaking: "Lord Tang, if the stalemate continues, whether it is for the prefect or the official reputation of the commander, outsiders don't know, they still think that the two adults are not in harmony, it is better to stop today's matter, those two beggars can take you wherever you go, as for the descendants of my Cao family, as the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion, I will deal with it, and I will give you a satisfactory answer?" ”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at Zuo Yucheng and saw that the other party nodded secretly, obviously agreeing with this approach, anyway, the person has been saved, and the goal has been achieved, although he is dissatisfied with the bullying behavior of the two subordinates, he can only give up.

"Don't worry, the commotion is big enough today, and it's not much better for those two people to be handed over to the housekeeper than if they fell into our hands." Zuo Yucheng saw it clearly, the purpose of the housekeeper was to maintain the reputation of the Cao Mansion, but wasn't the culprit who made him almost lose his reputation the two domestic servants who guarded the door? The anger in Steward Zhang's heart has already burned hot, but now it is all outsiders watching and temporarily suppressing it.

"Okay, just ......" Just as Tang Xiaoyu was about to agree, a voice interrupted her words.

"Leshan, why do you have to solve it behind closed doors? You always have to give an explanation to the fathers and villagers present, don't you? ”

A middle-aged man in a plain brown robe, I don't know when he appeared behind several city guards, Wang Ling was the first to see him, this middle-aged man was well-proportioned, his cheeks were slightly thin, although his face was a little tired, but his eyes were sharp and sharp, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he stood there, as if there was a heroic righteousness lingering around him, giving people a very reliable feeling.

The other party seemed to notice Wang Ling's gaze, turned his head to look at him, and smiled at him kindly.

This handsome uncle, who are you······? This scene made Wang Ling feel a little inexplicable.

Everyone also turned around when they heard the sound, and when they saw the appearance of the person who came, in addition to Wang Ling and Lao Sun Tou, they all saluted the middle-aged man.

"Lord Cao!"

Lord Cao? Is he Cao Yong? Isn't that the person Lao Sun Tou is looking for······ Wang Ling subconsciously looked at the old grandson, and saw that the old man didn't look like he was coming, and he was still holding the water bag and drinking it a second ago, and this second he was already lying on his side.

Why are you pretending to be sleeping here······ Arhat? Wang Ling found that he seemed to have an endless groove today.

Just when everyone thought that the prefect would first walk between the city guard and his own courtyard to close the coffin for today's conflict, he surprised everyone and slowly walked to the inconspicuous old beggar who had been watching the whole time and squatted down.

The middle-aged man's move made everyone present feel a little surprised, but it was not very unexpected, Cao Yong's move to be close to the people and love the people has been a lot in the past, so he has been loved by the people of Qingzhou, people were surprised that they originally thought that the prefect would solve this dispute first, after all, this is the reason why everyone gathered here, but he first found the old beggar, not surprisingly, Cao Yong's move was serious in everyone, just a respect for an old man, this prefect, never cared about the identity gap between people.

However, the next conversation between the two was enough to surprise everyone.

The first to speak was the old beggar lying on the ground, and the two of them were not talking loudly, only they could hear it, and if they let everyone present listen, they were afraid that their jaws would fall to the ground.

"You little bunny, it's fun to watch yourself lively, right? Old man, my head, almost made your housekeeper smash it as a watermelon, you asked me to chase and spank it back then, and now I'm afraid it's not happy in my heart, right? ”

"Aren't you doing well?" Cao Yong smiled gently, the old grandson snorted with a snort, and then stopped speaking, Cao Yong saw this and said: "You have been traveling for three years, and a few months ago you suddenly sent a message saying that you were coming to Qingzhou, and the students knew that you were coming back." ”

"The man...... Ahem, how is he now? The old grandson seemed a little reluctant to mention the name of the man in his mouth.

Cao Yong said: "He misses you very much, and he has asked people to look for your traces many times over the years. ”

"Hmph, I don't know if you really miss me, or if you don't worry about me?" The old grandson said angrily.

Cao Yong was a little silent, obviously he didn't want to say much on this topic.

The two were silent for a long time, and the eyes of everyone around them were focused on them, and suddenly, the old grandson angrily scolded Cao Yong: "Do you like to squat and talk to people now?" How long do you want me to lie on the ground? Don't help me up! ”

“。。。” Cao Yong's old face turned red, and he secretly said in his heart, I haven't seen him for three years, and the old gentleman is still so temperamental......

"This is not the place to speak, please follow me back to the house to speak." He helped the old grandson to get up and dusted off his body, Wang Ling saw this scene, and he couldn't understand it, is it necessary for the old man's rags?

The old grandson swaggered towards Cao's mansion, and Cao Yong followed behind him, looking extremely respectful.

When passing by Tang Xiaoyu's side, the old beggar glanced at her, and for a moment, behind this heroic girl, there seemed to be a pair of young men and women who were silently watching her, nodding to herself with a smile.

"Old man, old man?" Tang Xiaoyu saw the old man standing in front of him, staring at him all the time, and stretched out a small hand to shake it in front of the old man.

Seeing this, Zuo Yucheng hurriedly stopped him: "Xiaoyu, don't be rude." He has already seen from Cao Yong's attitude towards the old man that this is definitely a big man, and his position may be higher than Liu Pingshan, the political envoy of the three northwestern states, because he had seen Liu Pingshan in an official business, Cao Yong was by his side at that time, in Zuo Yucheng's eyes, Cao Yong's attitude towards Liu Pingshan was not as humble and respectful as it is today.

Cao Yong was the only one present who knew the inside story, he looked at the old man and the girl, and there was only a helpless sigh in his heart, he didn't bother the two, just stood silently behind the old man and watched.

At this time, Lao Sun Tou seemed to have just returned to his body, smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly remembered that he still had someone, and beckoned to Wang Ling, whose head was covered with bandages in the distance.

Do you remember me? Wang Ling rolled his eyes and came to a few people, as soon as he approached, he scolded angrily at the old grandson: "You dead old thing, I was beaten half to death, you are hiding next to me very leisurely, I don't have a sip of water, what's wrong?" This is a recognition of the prefect of the people, and he is ready to leave me and eat and drink spicy food by himself! ”

Old Sun Tou tried his best to keep his face away from Wang Ling, but he was still splashed by this kid's saliva, he didn't even have time to wipe the spit off his face, and hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort Wang Ling: "Aren't you quite energetic?" Hehe, you're a strong kid, and this little injury isn't a big deal for you. ”

"Uh...... Who is this? Cao Yong looked at Wang Ling, who was wrapped in bandages on his head, and said in his heart, is this a small injury······?

His body was full of bruises everywhere visible to the naked eye, his left arm was tied to a splint and hung on his chest, and the blood stains on his face were not completely wiped off.

Although those nursing homes were also not lightly injured, the weight was different, and Wang Ling was obviously close to the old man, unlike ordinary entourage.

"His name is Wang Ling, he is the old man, my friend, and I am friends with this kid!" The old grandson briefly introduced.

Just such a sentence has already set off huge waves in Cao Yong's heart, friend? Forget the New Year?

Old Sun Tou turned his head to Tang Xiaoyu again, and seemed to be extremely satisfied with her, and said, "Girl, you are very good." ”

Tang Xiaoyu looked dazed, and didn't understand why this old man suddenly praised himself, and he praised him a little inexplicably.

On the contrary, Zuo Yucheng looked at Tang Xiaoyu eagerly, thinking that the old man might be a big man in a high position, with this compliment, maybe it would be a rare opportunity for Tang Xiaoyu.

Old Sun Tou glanced at Cao Yong and said, "Is there still a shortage of manpower in the Qingzhou Street Division?" This kid has a bit of blood and is also clever, I want to arrange him to the street division, just find him an errand for him. ”

Cao Yong comprehended: "The position of the second room general flag order has been vacant so far, and there is no suitable candidate. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly moistened, lowered his head slightly, he didn't want to be seen, his white teeth bit his lower lip unwillingly, Zuo Yucheng on the side was stunned when he heard this, he has always been the oldest in the team, he was in a hurry at this moment, he clenched his fists, and just as he was about to speak, he felt that his clothes were being ripped off, and he looked at it fixedly, it was Tang Xiaoyu who grabbed the corner of his clothes, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Wang Ling took all the actions of the two into his eyes, he knew that this kind of airborne soldier was not liked by those who climbed up from the bottom anywhere, just imagine that he had been in the army for many years, and finally accumulated some achievements, so he looked forward to which position at the top could move, so that he could go further. At this time, a person came and said that it was a relative of a leader who had no achievements at all, and he snatched the position you have worked hard for many years.

"Oh? That being the case...... "The old grandson rolled his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled: "Then let's be empty first, most of this kid doesn't want to do this errand, so let's let him do it first as a second-class city guard, but this girl can be considered, a month later, let the two of them compete, who can better serve the public is the new general flag order of the second room." ”

This is great news for Tang Xiaoyu and the city guards, Tang Xiaoyu can be said to be a sure winner, after all, this old man with an extraordinary background also said that he is more able to convince the public, one has no foundation, and the other is expected, the final result is self-evident, but it is just an extra month of waiting.

"Which room does the gentleman think I should put this little friend in?" Cao Yong asked.

The old grandson thought about it, glanced at Wang Ling and then at Tang Xiaoyu, he grinned, Wang Ling saw that he was smiling with bad intentions, and secretly suffered!

"Wang Ling, you can follow her in the future." The old grandson smiled.

Everyone was stunned, and the scene fell silent.

Damn, I know you're not a good fart, bad old man, you're very bad!!
