Chengdu County, county government.

The raindrops hit the pond water, and the red carp raised its head to come out of the water, swallowing and swallowing ripples.

A hazy smoke and rain, with a poetic feeling.

In such weather, even the two stone lions standing proudly at the entrance of the county government were a little lazy.

But in this hall, the atmosphere is extremely solemn.

The people sitting on the six yellow rosewood circle chairs didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this rainy night at all, and they lowered their eyebrows one by one and were silent.

Only Pei Xingjian still looked as usual, sipping tea slowly, leisurely waiting for the final climax of this farce.

"In recent years, the descendants of Confucianism have become more and more deaf, and they will let such an important winner and loser get out of control, and the great opportunity that can be decided will be wasted."

The old man glanced at Wu Gong, who was sitting still, and shook his head slightly.

"No wonder it was thrown here by the Wu family to make money, just have a ruthless heart, but there is no thunderous means, how can you win others? After a long period of peace, the children and grandchildren are incompetent. ”

After commenting on Wu Gong, his eyes moved sideways to the left and fell to the other side.

Gu Xi was looking at his nose and nose at the moment, although his arm on the armrest of the circle chair was trembling slightly, but his bearing was much better than Wu Gong's.

"Although this kid is a little arrogant, his mind is quite flexible. Being able to stay in danger and drag a dead end into a stalemate is remarkable. ”

"It's rare to find such a dog's head gold in this kind of dung circle in Chengdu County."

Gu Xi seemed to notice Pei Xingjian's eyes, and hurriedly responded with a humble smile.

The old man didn't make any response, just lowered his eyes and continued to blow his tea.

But the corner of Zhang Xian's mouth next to him showed a playful smile.

Among the two gate valve candidates who participated in the recommendation this time, Pei Xingjian was obviously more optimistic about Gu Xi.

For Zhang Xian, as long as Gu Xi can properly solve the dilemma in front of him, then he is also willing to push the boat down the river and let the other party be selected.

If you can still have some goodwill with Pei Xingjian, it will be in vain that you will work hard this time and take the initiative to apply to Chengdu Mansion to preside over the recommendation.

The temple is in the sea, and the wind is high and the waves are urgent.

A wisp of kindness at a critical moment may be a 'good wind' that sends oneself straight to the sky, or it may be a life-saving straw that can save oneself from drowning.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xian took the initiative to nod slightly towards Gu Xi, and was about to talk.

A rush of footsteps suddenly sounded!

A guard who was on guard outside the courtyard almost stumbled in, shouting, "My lord, there are people outside who want to see you." ”

"What great big man in Chengdu County can scare you like this?"

Pei Xingjian laughed casually, and knocked the tea cup in his hand lightly on the table, "Say it slowly, who wants to see me?" ”

The guard swallowed violently, "They claim to be Chengdu Mansion Jinyi Guard!" ”

As soon as the guard's voice fell, the wind and rain outside the house suddenly flourished.

The torrential rain rolled down, and in the dense rain curtain that could almost obscure the view, several figures walked in with black umbrellas.

The four uninvited guests did not break into the house directly, but stopped outside the eaves and stood silently in the heavy rain.

Everyone in the room raised their eyes to look out, even Zhang Xian was no exception.

Flat-knee robes, broad shoulders and thin waists, huge black umbrellas obscuring their faces, and the same jute straw sandals on their feet.

There is a wooden and copper-like sign hanging on the belt, which is engraved with the words "Beizhen Fusi"!

Tiger arms, bee waists, mantis legs.

It is the famous brocade guard of the Ming Empire in the past.

"What a rarity."

Pei Xingjian looked at the few brocade guards in front of him, "Since you have the courage to come to the door, then don't stand outside, come in and talk." ”

"Xie Pei County Order."

The leading brocade guard stepped up the front steps of the house first, and the black umbrella in his hand was thrown in the air, and in the splashing rain, the sound of mechanical deformation was sonorous.

The black fan instantly converged and turned into a scabbard.

The silver umbrella bones became flattened and sharp, shaped like a long knife.

In the blink of an eye, a long, sheathed knife with a simple style appeared in his hand.

"The sea water is the pattern, the wild goose is the body, the four beasts are unicorn clothes, and the luan belt is embroidered with a spring knife."

Pei Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a coldness appeared on his face, "Dressed so neatly, it seems that you Jinyiwei want to come to my Chengdu County and County Ya Yan today?" ”

"Don't dare, we just received a tip-off that some officials have embezzled and taken bribes, and have committed irregularities for personal gain, so we are here to investigate."

Feng Huang looked over in horror, only to see that the brocade-clothed guards were staring at him coldly with eagle eyes.

He was an official who entered the government during the period of the first emperor, and naturally experienced that dark period when he was ruled by the celebrant and the Beizhen Fusi.

At this moment, Feng Huang felt a bone-chilling fear that had almost been forgotten surging from the depths of his genes again.

"Look what I'm doing."

Feng Huang was so stumbling that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Zhang Xian glanced at the other party with disgust, he was an official in the second year of Jiaqi, so he naturally couldn't understand why Feng Huang was so afraid.

In his opinion, these brocade guards were nothing more than a pack of hyenas with their teeth pulled out, and they were not even as vicious as domestic dogs.

"Where did you get your tip? Has the authenticity been verified? ”

Zhang Xian's tone was cold and hard, and he glared angrily at the leading brocade guard.

The other party was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a deep voice: "Back to this adult's words, the name of the informant is Li Jun, and he is the captain of the Jinyi Guard of Chengdu Mansion. ”

Bang!

Wu Gong got up suddenly, and his movements were so big that he even knocked over the tea cup in his hand, and the "pop" shattered all over the ground.

At this moment, his face was full of irrepressible ecstasy!

I didn't expect Li Jun's real identity to be Jinyiwei's informant, so isn't the person who sent this file to himself also a Jinyiwei person?!

In this way, can you still use this evidence in your hands to distinguish the authenticity?

Gu Xi, you are dead this time!

Wu Gong looked sideways, and sure enough, he saw Gu Xi's face was as pale as paper at this time, and there was resentment between his eyebrows.

"That's the expression, yes, I'm going to let you lose in the hands of your own people, you are unwilling to lose, but you can't do anything!"

Wu Gong, who got carried away, didn't notice that Yao Chongli beside him had a strange expression, and was staring at him with a look at a dead person.

He even quietly moved the chair a few points away, trying to distance himself as much as possible.

"Hahaha"

A burst of old laughter suddenly sounded, and it continued to echo in the Chengdu County Government Office, which did not know the geometry.

There is no happiness or arrogance in it, but it is full of self-deprecation and helplessness.

Everyone looked at it in amazement, only to see Pei Xingjian smiling forward and backwards, with a faint crystal in the corner of his eyes, and burst into tears of laughter.

"It's only been ten years, and this kind of fool has appeared among the Confucian gate valves. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at Wu Gong in unison.

Although Pei Xingjian did not name him, everyone knew that he was talking about Wu Gong.

"Am I an idiot?!"

The joy on Wu Gong's face suddenly froze, and he was stunned in place for some reason.
