Chapter 78: The County Vigil Talks
The night is deep, but people are not quiet.
In the guest room of the county guard's mansion, Ji Linsheng quickly changed his clothes after entering the door, and then sat down intently, quietly perceiving the guards outside the room.
In addition to a few important positions with guards standing guard, there were also two teams of guards patrolling, but these were ordinary people, and they didn't deserve his attention, what he really cared about was the transcendent monks who existed around the room.
In his senses, there was a cultivator at the front and back doors of the courtyard watching here.
However, these two cultivators only have the cultivation of the Cave Mansion Realm, and they are even worthy of stepping into the cultivation path, counting on these two people to come and live in him for a marrow washing realm, and the county guards here dare to be so big?
was underestimated like this, and Ji Linsheng, who should have been extremely angry, had a calm face, and he didn't mean to be angry, because it was too deliberate.
Yes, it was too deliberate, from the greeting at the city gates, to the feast without a master, to the incomparably perfunctory surveillance now, almost everything was aimed at provoking him.
So what's the benefit of provoking him? The Lingwu County Guard would not think that if he was angry, he would not continue to investigate, if the other party was really such a stupid person, it would be impossible for him to sit in the position of the county guard.
The things that can't be figured out are generally due to limited intelligence, and if you have to forcibly find an explanation, there will be deviations, and it is often far from the truth, so Ji Linsheng did not let go of his thoughts, but took action.
No matter what the other party responds to, he will never forget that the original purpose was to investigate the Lingwu County Guard, how he should act or how to act, and wait for all changes without changing.
Having made up his mind, Ji Linsheng's figure suddenly disappeared into the room, and when the two Dongfu realm monks outside the courtyard and a group of guards in the courtyard did not notice it at all, he had already appeared outside the courtyard, and without stopping, he went straight to the small courtyard where the county guard was.
There are several Tuomai Realm and a Dragon Gate Realm monk on duty around the courtyard of the county guard, and the county guard himself is also a strong man in the Dragon Gate Realm, so there is naturally no doubt about safety.
And this level of protection also brought a sufficient sense of security to the county guard, and at this time, he chatted with Master Bu in the garden with a grand chat.
The county guard is a rough man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his open placket exposes his chest and abdomen, and his muscles are covered with the same thick hair as his arms.
"Shall we drink right here?" The county guard was a little worried: "I heard that the cultivation of the school palace patrol is very high, will he sneak in?" ”
"Don't worry, sir." Master Bu looked like he was in his chest, and promised: "My subordinates have already touched the bottom, and Ji Linsheng is only cultivating in the marrow washing realm, have you forgotten?" Our small courtyard is equipped with a formation, and it is impossible to sneak in without reaching the Divine Spirit Realm. ”
"Hahaha......" The county guard suddenly became worried when he heard this, and after a burst of laughter, he couldn't help but pat Master Bu's shoulder happily: "You do something, I don't worry." ”
The corners of Master Bu's eyes twitched slightly, and he moved his shoulder, which was patted by the county guard, and smiled slightly, with a little pride and a little self-control.
The relieved county guard slanted the subordinate standing beside him from the corner of his eye, and said to the master: "Tell me about the situation when you went to pick up Ji Linsheng, the son of Nalaosh, today." ”
The subordinate understood, and immediately filled the wine bowl of the county guard and Master Bu, and then immediately took two steps back, not daring to disturb the conversation between the two.
Master Bu nodded lightly: "Today I went to meet Ji Linsheng according to your instructions, he wanted to see you at the gate of the city, but he was fooled by his subordinates to find an excuse, and his face was extremely ugly at that time."
When it was time for the banquet in the evening, he wanted to speak several times, but how could his subordinates obey his wishes, and motioned to a few Cao soldiers in the city to go and toast, and he took turns to fight, so that he had no chance to speak at all.
The subordinates paid special attention to the fact that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot when he left, which can be regarded as helping the adults to let out a bad breath. ”
"Hahahaha......" The county guard laughed heartily again: "Good! Well done! Drink alcohol. ”
He picked up the large bowl in front of him and collided with the small cup that Master Bu was drinking, and then raised his head and drank it all in a few sips, ignoring the fact that the wine spilled down his lips and beard wet a large piece of his chest and clothes.
Master Bu is much more gentle, holding a wine cup in one hand, and holding up his sleeves with the other hand to cover the outside, raising his arms together when drinking, and covering the inner movements with the sleeves of his robe, just like a scholar, looking very elegant.
After a bowl of wine, the county guard wiped the corners of his mouth with his arm, smashed it, and couldn't help muttering: "Lao Bu, if you want to say that you are good at everything, it is too Sven, you should use a big bowl to drink, and that small cup can't even hold a mouthful of my saliva." ”
Master Bu chuckled: "It's not as heroic as your lord, hehe, it's just that in this way, I'm afraid this Ji Linsheng will be eyeing you." He didn't care about the vulgarity of the gun's language at all, and he returned to the topic in one sentence.
But seeing that the county guard waved his hand indifferently: "Let him come, Lao Tzu has been an official for more than ten years, and he has never done anything illegal and undisciplined, how can he be afraid that he will come to investigate." ”
Master Bu agreed: "In the entire Dajiang country, your incorruptibility is second to none, my lord, your incorruptibility is second to none, and your subordinates admire it, then Ji Linsheng didn't know how to suspect you, he was really blind, and he should really be taught a lesson." ”
"Well said, come again." Saying that, he picked up the wine bowl that the next person had just given him again, and this time he didn't wait for Master Bu, he drank it himself, and after drinking, he called out refreshingly: "I am in a good mood, and I am very happy to drink, hahahaha......"
Master Bu naturally won't let his adults drink alone, and he will also take the wine cup and drink it all, and put it down with a wry smile: "My lord, you'd better slow down, your subordinates have too much alcohol, and some can't keep up with you, this wine is strong......"
Hearing this, the county keeper laughed even louder, for there was nothing more satisfying for a drinker than the forgiveness of a fellow drinker, and anyone could hear the joy in the laughter.
When his laughter gradually slowed down, Master Bu saw the stitches and said: "It's just that you need to be careful, my lord, you are an upright person, but you can't stand some people who will make yin tricks, you make this Ji Linsheng unhappy, in case he wants to frame you, it will be difficult." ”
The county guard couldn't help but sneer: "He is a dignified school and a palace patrol, and if he dares to do this kind of thing, I'm afraid he won't die." ”
Master Bu said softly: "My lord, you don't know, people are from the school palace, even if they do something wrong and break the rules, it will be handled by the school palace internally, and when the time comes, the punishment of three glasses of wine will pass, when have you ever heard that the patrol has been punished?" ”
The county guard couldn't help frowning, as if from the beginning of the establishment of the patrol position to the present, he really hadn't heard of any patrol patrolman who had been punished, and he couldn't help but start muttering in his heart.
Master Bu continued quietly: "Even if it is under the leadership of the dean, the school palace has always had a good reputation, but after all, not everyone is of the same mind, once there are more people, there will inevitably be villains. ”
When he said this, the county guard's brows furrowed a little more, and after thinking about it, he felt that what Master Bu said was indeed reasonable, but at this time, he showed concern and felt a little unbearable on his face, so he could only say stiffly: "Lao Tzu's body is not afraid of crooked shadows, and no dirty water can be splashed on Lao Tzu." ”
After thinking about it, he seemed to feel that his words were a little lacking, and he shouted with a red face: "If he really dares to frame Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not rest with him even if he fights hard." ”
Master Bu's eyes flashed, but his mouth hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, you must not be impulsive, you are an upright person, wouldn't it be too wronged to fight with such a villain, not to mention that his cultivation is higher, even if you kill him, you will trap yourself in it, and your subordinates really feel worthless for you." ”
It seems that this wine is really strong, two large bowls of wine are down, and the county guard is surging with wine, and he doesn't realize that he doesn't know when, the two have preset Ji Linsheng as a despicable villain in the dialogue, and he will do anything to make a personal vendetta for the sake of personal vendettas.
If the county guard could be more sober, maybe he would be able to remember that he and Ji Linsheng didn't know each other in the first place, and the reason was just that he heard the news that Ji Linsheng was going to investigate him, because he was not angry that he was innocent as an official but was suspected, and he wanted his subordinates to give him a little anger.
And this little festival is about to turn into a struggle in officialdom in the dialogue between the two.
The county guard now only feels a depressed atmosphere in his chest, obviously he has been an official for more than ten years, and he has never crossed the rules, but now he is about to be framed by the villain from the school palace, which really makes him angry.
Master Bu seemed to see the depression of his own adult, his eyes rolled, and he stepped forward and said softly: "My subordinates have a plan, I don't know if you ...... your lord."
The county guard's eyes lit up, he walked all the way, from the overseer step by step to the position of the county guard, and it was only more than ten years, relying not only on his own courage to fight, but also because of his outstanding cultivation talent, this Master Bu's strategic assistance is also very important, and he has repeatedly helped him make the most correct choice at critical moments.
For so many years, every time he felt that he was in a predicament, Master Bu could come up with clever tricks to help him get out of the predicament, so he relied on this person extraordinarily, and in most cases, he only used the affairs at hand to Master Bu to manage, he only needed to concentrate on his practice, and he was promoted very quickly.
At this time, hearing that he had a plan, the county guard was naturally very much looking forward to it: "Lao Bu, if you have something to say, I am naturally very relieved to you, what do you have to worry about." ”
I don't know when, his self-proclaimed name changed from "Lao Tzu" back to "me".
Master Bu was a little embarrassed: "It's not that I'm worried, it's just ......" He looked very hesitant.
The county guard couldn't help but urge: "Just what? There are no outsiders here, just say it. ”
Master Bu couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, it's just that this method is different from your usual style, my lord, and I'm afraid you can't accept it." ”
The county guard was already anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks: "Say it quickly, what is the solution?" I don't like you scholars the most, hesitating, the husband should act bravely and decisively, what does the mother-in-law and mother look like. ”
Master Bu sighed again, and then said unhurriedly: "Do you remember the young man who came to the city last time and was surnamed Gongshan? ”
"You mean......" the warden remembered the young man who had been talking so much at the banquet that he felt very pompous and disliked.
"That's right." Master Bu continued: "He is the son and nephew of the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, and he originally wanted to ask you for a recommended place in our Lingwu County, but he was scolded by you and left in disgrace. ”
Hearing him say this, the county guard remembered that today's Guozi Sacrificial Wine is indeed a compound surname Gongshan, and the surname Gongshan is not common, why didn't he think about it much at that time? He was a little depressed, but after thinking about it, even if he knew that he was the son and nephew of the wine lord at that time, he would still scold with his temperament, so he gave up.
"Does it have anything to do with him?" The county warden muttered.
Master Bu nodded and said softly: "If you give him a place, presumably the Lord of Wine will also have some feelings for you, and that Lord of Wine has always been upright, how can he sit back and watch you being framed by the villain, and this matter will be solved." ”
After hearing this, the county guard couldn't sit still, and his face was a little anxious to speak, and he didn't know if it was because the liquor was too strong or his human nature was too strong, so he only heard him say angrily: "How can it be so! This is no different from the villain who tends to be inflammatory, so Lao Tzu doesn't do this kind of thing. The tone was very firm.
Master Bu said patiently: "My lord, this is a bad word. ”
"Before, you saw that this person was a little frivolous, and he spoke a little arrogantly, so he blew him away, and afterwards his subordinates sent someone to investigate, in fact, this person is talented and knowledgeable, but he speaks more straightforwardly, coupled with his youth and vigor, his speech is inevitably a little exaggerated, which makes you dislike.
It is precisely because he was outspoken in the academy and offended the local examiner that the examiner wanted to teach him a lesson, let him study for one more year, and cross him off the list of the top three, so he came to us to ask for a recommended place.
But if you think about it, in fact, he, like you, is a person with an upright personality, and he is easy to offend people if he does not flatter, and it is not a good thing to give such a young and talented student a chance. ”
I don't know if it's because the county guard can't think calmly because of his drunkenness, or because he is a reckless man with no brains, or if he just trusts Master Bu too much, he not only didn't notice this loophole, but also felt that what Master Bu said also made some sense.
Master Bu called the hot iron: "Our Lingwu County has a lot of places this year, and it is not a matter to give him one, besides, you are also for the court, for Your Majesty, and for the school palace to send a material that can be made, do you say?" ”
He knew that after the county guard went to the school palace to study once, he respected the school palace very much, and he always felt that the school palace was a good place, so he put "for the school palace" after "for His Majesty" and said, this is according to the favorability of the county guard in the heart.
From this small detail, it can be seen that Master Bu really knows a lot about the person who guards the county.
The county guard didn't speak, but took a large bowl and drank it all, and the liquor went down his throat and into his stomach, causing a burst of heat in his stomach, as if it was about to complement the fire in his chest.
Master Bu said softly: "This matter is not difficult to do, I will repair a book for you and send it to Tianyang, and explain the previous misunderstanding to the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, I believe that the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine will definitely not hold on to this little thing." ”
The county guard drank another bowl and said sullenly, "Then let's do it." He only felt that he had suffered a lot of today, so he simply drank a few bowls and got drunk, and he didn't bother to think about these things.
When Master Bu received the response, a slight smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he was ready to handle this matter immediately, but after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, and added: "My lord, there is one more thing, according to the rules of Tianyang, I am afraid that it is not very decent to send a letter alone, and it is better to attach some local products and the like to say something, and this also needs your big seal......
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the county guard waved his hand without raising his head, signaling him to take it himself, and then felt that drinking with a bowl was not enjoyable enough, so he simply picked up the wine jar and drank it directly.
Master Bu's eyes flashed, and he told his subordinates: "You take care of some adults, don't let them get too drunk and fall here." ”
With that, he gave the guard who had been waiting by his side a look, and the two of them left the courtyard together.
