Cui Yuanting: "You have been in Chuyi for a longer time than me, and you know the local situation better, I hope you will immediately convene Lizheng Fangzheng and let them each choose three to five upright and usable strong men, and come to the county office early tomorrow morning to report and listen to my orders." Remember, it is to be those who are honest and available! ”

Cui Yuanting emphasized again.

What's the big deal!

Li Ye thought in his heart, and immediately responded: "Don't worry, I will do it well." ”

He turned around and left, and before he reached the door, he saw Jiang Xiancheng walk in, and after seeing him, Jiang Xiancheng's eyes deliberately circled between Cui Yuanting and Li Ye: "Master Li, this is going out?" ”

"Yes."

Master Li strode away after a brief pause, and Jiang Xiancheng looked at his background thoughtfully.

"Jiang Xiancheng." Cui Yuanting interrupted him in a deep voice.

Jiang Xiancheng approached Cui Yuanting: "County Zun, there is a stable supply of rice and grain on the market today, and the price is 1,000 wen per bucket." ”

Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Jiang Xiancheng is really capable, and he can make the rice merchants come up with a way to solve the problem overnight." ”

Knowing that Cui Yuanting was satirizing himself, Jiang Xiancheng still did not change his face.

"I didn't expect these rice merchants to be so treacherous, obviously there are some goods in hand, but they are hoarding Juqi, it seems that Jiang is still too soft on people and things."

When Lingfu heard this, he couldn't help but pout: If you Jiang Tongfan are soft-handed, there will be no ruthless people in this Chuyi County!

Cui Yuanting glanced at him: "Come to me for something?" ”

Jiang Xiancheng: "I heard that the county respected the county lieutenant Pi and led people to sort out the list of households? ”

Cui Yuanting: "Yes, you came just in time, Jiang Xiancheng has been acting as an agent for the county government, the art of war, you are most familiar with the things of the six rooms, the official has just arrived, and he urgently needs to understand the details of the county, and he also asks Jiang Xiancheng to bring someone to submit a list of the rest of the rooms to the official as soon as possible, so that the official can get started as soon as possible." ”

"The county has only been here for two days and has been so diligent, which really makes Jiang ashamed." Jiang Xiancheng's tone was not lacking in a sense of yin and yang, "The 'three connections' that should have been arranged for you have not been arranged, and my subordinates want to make up for this pomp and circumstance for the county honor." ”

Jiang Xiancheng said unhurriedly, "According to the previous rules, the county official should arrange a ceremony to worship the city god on the second day of his arrival, but we have made the rebels make trouble for so many years, and many things have been wasted." According to the subordinates, tomorrow happens to be the fifteenth auspicious day, so why not ask the county to preside over the sacrificial ceremony, and let the people of the county pay tribute to the official authority. ”

"There is Lao Jiang County's trouble." Cui Yuanting raised his voice slightly, "In my opinion, the most important thing at present is the people's rations, and the sacrifice can be postponed." ”

Cui Yuanting looked at Jiang Tongfan lightly, "Jiang Xiancheng has the heart to make people hand in the list of various ministries as soon as possible, which is the greatest support for this official." ”

"Then according to the county."

Jiang Xiancheng was not annoyed when he touched a soft nail, he took out a big red gilded invitation card from his arms: "The county has been here for two days, no matter how you say that there is always a reception banquet, this is a post by the local squire family inviting the county honor, I hope the county will be sure to appreciate the light at night." ”

In the end, Jiang Xiancheng approached Cui Yuanting and said meaningfully: "Cao Fenglin, the archdeacon of the Assassin History of Benzhou, will also attend the banquet tonight. ”

When he said this, Jiang Xiancheng's eyes glanced at Xu Lingfu.

Lingfu felt Jiang Xiancheng's gaze, as if a large number of disgusting caterpillars were crawling towards her.

deliberately looked at her and mentioned Cao Fenglin, Jiang Xiancheng did he know Xu Baixing's stinky operation?

Cui Yuanting took the bronzing invitation, opened it, and saw the words "Pan family".

He smiled and closed the invitation: "I heard that the Pan family is the most wealthy family in this county, so I will be disrespectful." ”

After Jiang Xiancheng left, only Cui and Xu were left in the second hall.

Xu Lingfu said softly: "The county lord really wants to go?" ”

Cui Yuanting handed her the invitation: "I will definitely go to the meeting when the Pan family comes forward, and they also brought in Cao Fenglin, the archdeacon of the Assassin's Mansion, so that I will appreciate my face no matter what." ”

Xu Lingfu paused and said, "County Zun, this Cao Fenglin is the person Xu Sizuo wanted to force me to marry that day." ”

She wouldn't call that bastard Uncle if she didn't have to.

Cui Yuanting suddenly turned to look at Lingfu, and Lingfu also looked at him.

"Is it him?"

Lingfu nodded: "Just now I noticed that Xu Sizuo and Jiang Xiancheng paid special attention to me when they came in, I thought maybe Xu Sizuo said something to them, I was worried that they would embarrass you because of this." ”

Cui Yuanting looked at Lingfu gently: "I know, you don't have to say it." ”

It is a bit cruel for a girl to say to an unfamiliar man that others have been at the mercy of her for life, and to maintain a kind of rational restraint.

It was as if it was a mussel, forced to open its shell to reveal the wounds inside, just to tell him: be careful.

Lingfu lowered his eyes: "People of Lingfu, if I cause you trouble, I'm sorry. ”

Cui Yuanting was inexplicably distressed.

When he saw her, she was always restrained, in danger in front of her, and helpless behind her, but she did not want to burden others, and carefully maintained her self-esteem and independence, thinking that in this way others would not see her fragility and helplessness.

She is only a teenager, and if she is an ordinary girl, she will only have six gods and no master when she encounters this encounter, hiding behind someone who can support her, crying and crying, and seeing people without a face.

And she has been standing there by herself, although she has clearly expressed her desire to protect him, but she has always tried to be a good assistant, and freely provide her value to him to use.

Cui Yuanting didn't want her to be so cautious and accurate in the face of him.

"Lingfu, you saved my life, and we have a lifelong friendship." His words were like jokes, but his eyes were serious.

"Let's not bother ourselves, sorry. If you were a man, we might have been brothers of the opposite sex a long time ago, and even if you were a daughter, there was no need for us to be so rigid about each other. ”

Lingfu looked at Cui Yuanting deeply, then lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then raised her head, her eyes were more resolute. "The county lord said so, and the Lingfu also has something to say to you."

"Please." His gentle gaze seemed to be encouraging.

"On that day, the county lord promised to let me follow the left and right, firstly, to repay the grace of saving my life, and secondly, to protect the Lingfu from disaster, and did not really regard the Lingfu as an entourage that could be supported."

"Lingfu understands that she is a woman, and the county has concerns, but she doesn't know much about my temperament, and I was also observant of the county at the beginning."

"But after a few days, Lingfu saw how you worked hard for the people, and I really admired it in my heart, Lingfu really wanted to become a usable person around the county."

"Thanks to the promotion of the county honor, the Lingfu will be brave this time - please seriously consider whether to accept the Lingfu to do things by your side."

There was a moment of silence in the second hall.

Lingfu looked at Cui Yuanting's jade figure with a solemn voice, this confession was something she had thought about last night.

The world is chaotic and cruel, and she must try to find an anchor point so that she can face this upturned world and not be swallowed up by the sweeping waves.
