Chengde Fang, county Zhu Yamen, back hall.

The sun is already setting, and there are no lights and candles in the hall, so it is inevitably a little dim.

Gao Jing'an sat on a stilted chair, his head resting on the back of the backrest, squinting his eyes, as if he was napping, but the slight changes in his facial expression showed that he was actually pondering something.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside the hall.

After a while, Du Yi Du Ziyu stepped into the hall, saw Gao Jing's appearance, walked over, and said softly: "County Zhu, the matter has been done." ”

"Hmm. ”

Gao Jing opened his eyes and looked a little tired.

Seeing this, Du Yi asked, "Do you want to hold the lamp?"

Gao Jing slowly exhaled and said, "Wash your face! ”

So Du Yi nodded, turned around and walked to the door, and said, "Come on, bring a basin of hot water." Then he turned and returned, and by the dim light of the day, he found the flint and the fire fold on the bookcase, and lit the fire, and lit the candle.

For a while, there was a lot of brightness in the room.

After a while, the hot water came, and his own servant served Gao Jing to wash his face, and when the servant went out with the basin again, Gao Jing seemed to be a lot more energetic, went to the couch and sat down, waved his hand to signal Du Yi to sit too, and said: "Let's talk about it, how about it?

Du Yi sat down at this time, handed a document in his hand to Gao Jing, and said, "This is the news that I collected just now, and it is all related to that Zhou Ang." After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "When the subordinate took someone to deliver the 100 yuan to the house of the Nalu master, the Nalu master was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the spot. ”

Thinking of this, he seemed to recall the funny appearance of Nalu at that time, and his smile became more and more vigorous, and said: "But it is in front of his wife and children, although he has a bitter face and resolutely refuses to accept it, but he still does not kneel in the end!"

Speaking of this, he smiled and sighed, looking very disappointed.

Gao Jing smiled, and he was noncommittal about the bad taste of his subordinates.

At this time, Du Yi had already continued: "I only said that it was the order of the county zhu, and the Nalu officer didn't dare not accept it, so he finally stuffed me with a small ingot of silver and begged me. I also saw it for the sake of the silver, so I woke him up: let him go and send the silver to the scholar who killed the fox demon!"

As he spoke, he took out a small ingot of silver and put it on the couch, looking at what should be an official cast of five taels.

"Master Naru is a clever and clever man, and after a little bit of me, he was overjoyed on the spot. As for whether he will send the money over next, I don't know!"

Gao Jing smiled, and while looking through the several transcribed files in his hand, he said with a smile: "Since you said that he is a smart and clever person, then presumably he will not only send it over, but also do everything possible to please him!"

Du Yi laughed when he heard this, "It's the same with the job's guess." ”

But Gao Jing sighed again and said, "I just don't know if I can borrow it in the future!"

This time, Du Yi didn't smile, thought about it, pointed to the file that Gao Jing was still looking through in his hand, and said: "Before my subordinate came in just now, I also looked through it, except for some abnormal behaviors in the last seven or eight days, Zhou Ang couldn't see anything else, and the subordinate speculated that with his family background and style, he should not be in the local area when he came into contact with Taoism." ”

Gao Jing nodded, knocked on the file in his hand, and said, "Three years ago, he went to Chang'an to study, a total of seven months. I'm afraid that at that time, I don't know who I came into contact with. ”

Du Yi nodded and said: "It's a pity that the time has been too long, one is definitely not the target of attention at that time, and the other is that Mr. Du Ling Du Zishan has a far-reaching reputation, and he is also a generation of famous Confucians. ”

Gao Jing had already put down the file in his hand, sighed, and said, "Let's send a document to see if there are some records in Chang'an Mansion at that time." As for asking them to investigate one or two of Du Zishan's disciples specifically for us, don't think about it. ”

When it came to official business, Du Yi immediately became serious, nodded, and said, "When I turn around, I will order someone to write the paperwork, and I will try to send it away tomorrow." If you think it's going to come within ten months, there should be some news. ”

Gao Jing smiled when he heard this, and shook his head, "It's good to have news in three months! It's normal to ignore us." After all, I'm just a county wish!"

This was not easy to answer, Du Yi just smiled, picked up the file on the couch again, and put it away.

At this time, Gao Jing suddenly got up and paced to the door in a few steps.

Du Yi also got up, but he just stood in the hall, looking at his boss standing in the corridor, half of his body was plated in the sunset, waiting silently.

Gao Jing put his hands behind his back and looked up at the back eaves of the lobby in front of him.

Green bricks and blue tiles.

Solemn.

He couldn't help but recall the situation when the two of them sat opposite each other at Zhou Ang's house not long ago.

On the surface, everyone is polite, but behind the scenes, almost every sentence is in a confrontation - of course, not a hostile confrontation, but a constant twist in the midst of temptation.

Especially thinking that the other party did not hesitate to reject his overtures several times, but he seriously said that he just wanted to live an important life, and said that he was working hard to copy the scriptures to make money, which made Gao Jing a little hesitant.

He has a clear background and a clean net worth, there is no doubt about this.

His father's generation had a lot of connections in Lingzhou City, and now the responsibility of maintaining and leading these relationships seems to have been handed over to his uncle Zhou Ye, but there is no doubt that as long as he is willing to stand up, he will definitely be qualified to inherit the legacy left by his father back then.

And his father was one of the three canons of Lingzhou County.

This is an important layer.

Having this layer almost means that he can naturally have traffic with the government.

Although such a person doesn't know what sect he came from or from whom he got a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity, so that he could step into the path of Dao cultivation, it is unlikely that he would do anything hostile to the government.

Therefore, it may be a good way to think about it from the position of the blessing of a county, even if it cannot be taken back for its own use, but it will definitely not become an enemy-friend.

Well, friend.

The most important thing is that his strength is unfathomable and there is no doubt about it.

As he said when he asked Du Yi and Wei Ci in the alley at that time, it was still very promising to gather the strength of the entire yamen to take down the fox demon, but it was almost impossible to pay no price.

As for wanting to win it alone, of course, it is almost completely impossible.

And he killed the fox demon with an understatement!

It's still such an amazing method.

So...... It's just a friend!

Let's see what happens.

............

After making up his mind, he turned around and faced Du Yi, who had been standing quietly in the hall waiting for orders, and said very calmly: "Be careful, don't disturb him!"

Du Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, but immediately nodded and said, "No!"

"I understand. ”
