After seeing Xu Mo get into the carriage, Xu Rong closed the courtyard door and returned to the house.

Seeing that the old man was still sitting at the table, Xu Rong said, "Master, go back to the house and rest, I will clean up this table tomorrow morning, and it is already very late." ”

The current time, if converted to Xu Rong's previous life, is only about nine o'clock.

For the original world, many social animals are still working overtime, and the vast majority of young people are still playing with mobile phones, computers, going to bars, and so on.

But in this world, there are very few people who haven't slept at this time, and most of the people who haven't slept are going to have fun.

As usual, the old man should have slept a long time ago.

"There's no hurry."

The old man's face was full of red light, but his eyes were not cloudy, but extraordinarily bright.

"Now that you are the deputy head catcher, you can be regarded as the glory of the ancestor, Lord is sure, with your ability, you will definitely not stop here."

"However, in this officialdom, ability alone is not enough, if you don't handle this matter of human relations and intrigue, you may ruin your future at any time because of one thing."

When Xu Rong heard this, he already understood what the old man meant.

The old man is worried that he is not familiar with the world and is easy to be harmed by those old oilers.

After all, in the old man's opinion, he has few opportunities to deal with different people, especially those in the officialdom.

However, Xu Rong was originally a social animal in his previous life, and he had experienced intrigue and intrigues, and he didn't watch much TV and news, even if he hadn't experienced it, he had mostly heard it.

So he's not completely inexperienced, he just needs to be cautious, and even if he can't be invincible, he won't make any big mistakes.

But after all, this was the old man's kindness, so Xu Rong didn't interrupt him, but listened quietly.

The old man glanced at Xu Rong, and when he saw Xu Rong looking at him, he couldn't help but feel quite relieved.

He was afraid that Xu Rong would suddenly ascend to a high position at a young age and be proud and complacent, and would not listen to the admonitions of others.

However, at present, Xu Rong is obviously not such a person, and he also has a calmness beyond his peers.

"Actually, with your character, I'm more relieved, but I'm afraid that you will be carried away by this good thing and do something."

"Master, don't worry, what Xu Mo said today is also a good thing for me, not blindly agreeing to him."

Immediately, Xu Rong told the old man some of his thoughts.

After listening to this, the old man looked at Xu Rong with some surprise: "This ...... Did you come up with it yourself? ”

Although he asked so, the old man already had the answer in his heart.

After all, Xu Rong hadn't gone anywhere else during this time, so naturally it was impossible to tell others what had just happened and let others figure out a way.

Xu Rong bowed slightly: "I am almost rootless, and the county order allows me to govern the west and north of the city, which has both the intention of rewarding me and testing me." ”

"Of course, there is another meaning, that is, I will check and balance Huo Mingjue, so that this yamen will not fall into a situation of dominance, so that he can calmly grasp power without worrying about being hollowed out."

Xu Rong raised his eyes and looked at the old man, and saw that he was listening carefully, so he continued: "Now that I want to gain a firm foothold, the west of the city must be taken down, and the west of the city is a piece of fat, Huo Mingjue will definitely not be willing to spit it out like this, so the conflict is almost unavoidable." ”

"I have confidence in my martial arts, and it is not difficult to overpower Huo Mingjue, and even a few of his cronies, but what about after accepting Chengxi?"

"I can't do everything myself, can I? In this way, where will I have time to practice and improve myself? Being busy with chores every day is not what I want. ”

"So Xu Mo's proposal is an extremely good thing for me."

"Wait for me to drive Huo Mingjue's people, with the assistance of these merchants, the west of the city can still remain stable."

"And what I have to do is to cultivate some of my own henchmen in the next period of time and completely control the west of the city."

Xu Rong's analysis made the old man extremely satisfied.

"You can see it better than me, sitting in your current position, you only have to do one way opposite Huo Mingjue, and as long as you make this first step, even if the future declines, there will be a county order to support you."

"It's just that in that case, you can only be limited to the county government in this life, but Ah Rong, your ability and grandpa know it, and this can't help you."

The old man was completely relieved, he was worried that Xu Rong was young and had no rules to do things, but he didn't expect that Xu Rong had already thought of a comprehensive plan.

He stood up and stood up straight: "I'll go to rest first, I'm old, and I'll be sleepy after drinking two bowls of wine." ”

"Master, slow down."

Xu Rong helped the old man into the room slightly.

When he saw the old man sleeping, Xu Rong closed the door and then came to the courtyard to wash.

Although it was a little cold in this winter, it was not a big deal for Xu Rong.

With his strong body and blood, it is easy to resist the cold.

After washing up, Xu Rong went back to his room and fell asleep.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Rong got up and cleaned up all yesterday's things, washed up, and then went out.

After the yamen ordered, Xu Rong followed a few people in charge of the west of the city to the stronghold in the west of the city.

Quite a few officials are already waiting here.

Cao Liangyuan's slender eyes narrowed slightly, and then he pulled a face and said, "Deputy catcher, everyone is here, what instructions do you have?" ”

"The first day I came here, I am not very familiar with the situation here, so I won't say anything first, and I will gather everyone here today to recognize people first, so that no one will not know me, and it will be bad if there is any misunderstanding at that time."

Xu Rong had a slight smile on his face, and he seemed to be very kind.

The so-called hairless mouth is not firm, his current age is there, there will definitely be many people who have thoughts about him in their hearts.

Therefore, he needs to find an opportunity to maintain his majesty, so that it will be more convenient for His Majesty in the future.

However, before that, he needs to behave harmlessly, so that people will think that he is a bully and send the opportunity to Liwei to the door.

Sure enough, seeing Xu Rong's behavior, Cao Liangyuan, who didn't look up to Xu Rong very much, glanced at some of the officials on the side.

Suddenly, a servant sneered and said, "Is there no one in our yamen?" Send such a yellow-haired boy, just by you, who can you control? ”

"There are a lot of petty thieves in this bazaar, and there are a lot of people who step on the wind, if you meet those Jiangyang thieves and run in front of you with knives, don't scare you when the time comes."

As the man's words fell, there was a burst of laughter.
