Chapter 112: The county guard is wooed
Everyone was not in a hurry, they didn't go fast, and it took a while to get to the county government.
As the official office of the highest administrator of a county, the county government occupies a large area and is also very magnificent. The county guard usually deals with government affairs and civil affairs in the front hall, and only after the front hall can he go to the inner court, but he can guess that the inner court must be magnificent just by looking at the front hall.
The gate of the county hall was open, and there were two doormen standing outside the door, and the doorman on the left turned his head and shouted at everyone, "Who are you?"
Without waiting for Yun Yi to reply, the officers and soldiers who led the way ran to the doorman and said, "The two eldest brothers, these are all masters who have returned from overseas, and they have brought the heads of the wanted traitors to receive the reward. ”
"They were the ones who killed the officers and soldiers outside the city before, and they were so young!" the man Ding was surprised when he heard this, and looked Yun Yi and his party up and down.
"Exactly. The officer nodded slightly.
The doorman turned his head and glanced at the doorman on the right, then turned back to Yunyi and his party and said, "Everyone, later, let the villain go to my family first." ”
"Thank you. Yun Yi nodded.
The fat man glanced at the doorman who ran into the inner courtyard, lifted the cloth bag in his hand and said, "I didn't expect this guy's head to be quite valuable." ”
"You killed the officers and soldiers, be careful that people will ask for your head for a while. Yun Yi looked sideways at the fat man.
"Is it that turtle grandson who didn't open his eyes and hit him on the road to death, and blamed me?" the fat man tilted his head and pouted, not thinking at all.
The doorman next to the door saw that the fat man was full of confidence, and couldn't help but look at him twice.
After a while, the doorman who went in to report ran out and said to everyone, "Let you wait for a long time, my lord is invited." ”
Yun Yi thanked him, walked first, everyone followed, and the officers and soldiers who led the way for everyone said goodbye and left.
Although he was going to receive the reward, Yun Yi felt a little big, because if the county guard wanted to verify the thief's identity, he only needed to let the thief's head in, and there was no need to invite everyone in directly.
A headache is inevitable, but Yun Yi is not worried, first of all, it is certain that the county guard invited them in must not be to pursue the death of the fat man who killed the officers and soldiers, otherwise the other party would not be so polite, the county guard must have heard the letter, knowing that the fat man killed the officer and soldier effortlessly, so he was interested in the identity of the people, and he may have the intention of wooing.
Entering the inner courtyard through the front hall, a middle-aged man walked towards everyone. This person was born with an angular face like a knife and an axe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a majestic instrument, and a black regular dress worn by him added a majestic style.
"This is my lord. The doorman who led the way said in a low voice to Yunyi, and then walked up to the middle-aged man and saluted and said, "My lord, the person has been brought." ”
"I've seen the county guard. Yun Yi was holding the child in his arms, and it was inconvenient to bow his hand, so he had to nod at the other party.
The fat man and the turtle arched their hands and completed the number of etiquette.
The middle-aged man nodded, sent the guard away, and turned to everyone and said, "You have come from afar, Wang has missed the welcome, and please come in to serve tea." ”
"My lord is the military and political affairs of a county, and there are many opportunities for the day, and the poor people dare not disturb them. Yun Yi politely refused.
"It's okay, it's okay," Wang Junshou waved his hand and smiled, "You have merit in killing thieves, go to my Lelang County for a big trouble, Wang Mou, as the Lelang County Shou, should be a good student to entertain you, Wang has ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and the Taoist chief must not refuse." ”
The other party said everything to this point, and Yun Yi was a little ignorant of resigning, so he could only nod and agree, and go to the inner hall with Wang Junshou.
The Han Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it is natural to pay tribute, Fujiwara Juting and Yun Lan are both women, and they can't sit at the same table with men, so they were taken away by Wang Junshou's wife to entertain them elsewhere, and Xiao Xianwan was also taken away by Fujiwara Juting.
Entering the hall, the guests and hosts of the two sides knelt and sat down, and the table in front of each person was set up with wine and meat delicacies.
Seeing the wine and meat on the table, Yun Yi couldn't help but glance at Wang Junshou, who was sitting on the chairman in the north, and paid more attention to this person.
It is rude for the guests to sit at the table, but the wine and food are not on the table, but the two sides met for a while, and the other party prepared this table full of delicacies and wine, which shows that the other party was prepared in advance, and when the fat man killed the short and fat officer and soldier at the city gate, someone should have come to tell Wang Junshou.
"You thieves have meritorious, Wang is here to represent the court, and on behalf of the people of Lelang County, pay tribute to the three. Wang Junshou raised the wine bottle and drank it all.
Yun Yi and the others raised the bottle in return and drank it all.
After the two sides drank, Wang Junshou put down the wine bottle and said, "Listen to the people below, the three are Chang'an?"
"Well," Yun Yi nodded, "There were some changes in Chang'an two years ago, and the poor Dao and his party went to the sea to meditate and study the Taoism, and they only returned today." ”
"Dare to ask who the three Taoist masters are inheriting, and the honorific titles are up and down?" Wang Junshou asked again.
"The master has ordered us not to mention his old man's name, please forgive me. Yun Yi poured the wine into the bottle, drank it all and apologized, and then put down the wine bottle, "Poor Dao Yun Shui Qing, this is the poor Dao Tongmen Zhenleizi and his friend Turtle San. ”
Wang Junshou smiled a little after hearing the name of the turtle three, "The Taoist is meditating overseas, and the magic must have reached its peak. ”
"I have a little understanding, but I haven't seen the path of yin and yang yet. Yun Yi replied humbly.
The fat man sitting at the bottom of Yun Yi was about to drink the wine bottle full of wine, and when he heard this, he interjected: "I am invulnerable to any 'I haven't seen the path of yin and yang yet'. ”
Yun Yi frowned when he heard this, looked at the fat man, glanced at him, and signaled him not to talk too much, but the fat man was busy drinking wine and eating meat, so he didn't see it at all.
"Oh?" Wang Junshou looked sideways when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the fat man: "Thunder Dao Leader has this ability?"
"How can this be fake?" the fat man rolled his eyes as he swallowed the unchewed piece of meat, "if you don't believe me, just let your guards cut me with a sword and see if you can hurt me a hair." ”
Wang Junshou is a county guard, and he is the host at this time, so he naturally won't really teach people to use a sword to cut the fat man, and after laughing twice, he looked at Yun Yi again.
Yun Yi knew what he was thinking, and he was also worried that the fat man had no one on his mouth, so he revealed the bottom of the two sentences, and said: "Poor Dao and his party returned to Middle-earth for the first time, and they were penniless, and they happened to see the reward document from the government, so they took the thief's head, so that they could exchange some money and silver for entanglement. ”
"This matter is not in a hurry, Shaoqing Wang will let people prepare ten dollars, and the reward is not as good as the Taoist chief, and the Taoist chief is relaxed," Wang Junshou smiled and waved his hand, and said casually, "The Taoist is going back to his hometown Chang'an?"
Yun Yi was about to nod yes, but the fat man interjected again: "Chang'an has long been out of place for us, and the road is far away, what are you going to do? ”
Yun Yi was so angry that he wanted to smoke the fat man's heart, this guy really poured out anything he said, although it was not a secret, but Wang Junshou clearly wanted to win them over, and the fat man's mouth leaked, so it was not easy for him to shirk Wang Junshou's intentions.
"Then what are your plans for the future?" asked Wang Junshou with a smile.
"What can I do, I'm also worried, ...... you say" The fat man couldn't say anything more halfway through speaking, because he found that Yun Yi's face was very long.
Wang Junshou glanced at the fat man, then shifted his gaze to Yun Yi, and said: "Dao Chief, if the current situation is turbulent today, the princes split the land and divide the territory to divide the territory, the sea is full of smoke, the soldiers are frequent, the people of Li suffer, the people suffer, the three of them have strange abilities, why not serve the imperial court, support the Han family, calm the war, and return the people of Li to a peace?"
"My lord thinks I'm waiting," Yun Yi was worried that the fat man would steal the words, so he hurriedly said, "We have learned some superficial fist and foot skills, but we are not skilled in archery and horse skills." Although he also has spells in his body, they are only some small techniques to exorcise demons and subdue demons, which are insignificant, how can they influence the trend of the world?"
"The Taoist is too modest, the Taoist has the immortal crane to travel, the thunder Taoist is also powerful, how can it be an ordinary person? Wang is only in charge of a county, not very capable, but he has never looked at people, my lord Sun Zan is now the governor of Qing, Hebei, You, and the four northern states, is the pillar of the imperial court heroes, if there is a Taoist chief such a person to assist him, he will be able to pacify the princes, and the revival of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner, then the Taoist chief has contributed to the community, virtue is applied to the people, admired by the people of the world, the name of the Taoist chief will inevitably be recorded in the annals of history, and it will be famous for centuries. ”
Yun Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, Wang Junshou's words were very empty, but anyone with some insight would inevitably scoff when he heard it, but this does not mean that this person is stupid, on the contrary, this person is very smart.
Wang Junshou saw that he was not very old and had just returned from overseas cultivation, thinking that he was not deeply involved in the world and had little experience, so he said these words.
And this is precisely the genius of this person, although these words have no practical significance, but they raised the banner of seeking the well-being of the common people, and said it impassionedly, any fledgling, young man with a warm heart listened, all have to be ambitious, enthusiastic.
"The Taoist takes the Tao as his business, and strategizing and galloping on the battlefield is the business of leading the generals. Yun Yi looked at Wang Junshou squarely.
Wang Junshou nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more, they are all smart people, and some words don't need to be pointed out, Yun Yi has already expressed his position.
At the end of the feast, Wang Jun's keeper ordered everyone to prepare a bedroom for everyone, and wanted to keep everyone for a few more days, but Yun Yi politely declined.
Wang Junshou may stay overnight out of courtesy, or it may not be dead, but no matter what the reason, it is related to the fact that everyone has an ability that ordinary people do not have.
Before leaving, Wang Junshou asked people to invite Fujiwara Juting and Yun Lan, and ordered someone to bring a large box, and said: "The Taoist chief has a meritorious service in suppressing thieves, this is the reward of the county government, please count the Taoist chief." ”
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor road is gone, take care of your lordship, and say goodbye. Yun Yi chuckled and resigned, the other party was the magistrate of a county, and ten thousand dollars were nothing to him, so naturally he would not secretly deduct it, and there was no need to count it back then.
"The Taoist is a long way to go, accompanied by wind and dust, Wang will give a thin gift, and the Taoist must not refuse. Wang Jun Shou said again.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, thank you, sir. Yun Yi thanked him, although Wang Junshou did not say what he had sent, but he heard the sound of horses sneezing outside the gate of the county government.
