Compared with the idle days of a certain soldier Cao who studied the Tao and teased the juniors, Liu Chuang, the county commander who temporarily took over Blackwater City and exercised the power of acting, could not help but have a sense of pain and happiness.

Originally, as the county magistrate, most of the affairs of Blackwater City were controlled by the county court, and the county court couldn't say anything about it, and the county court had to reprimand the county court every now and then for some trivial things.

However, fortunately, the official system of the Han Dynasty did not form such a strict and complicated civil official system in the Sui, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. All the officials in the county court were recruited by the Taishou themselves, and the adjutants recruited by the Taishou were only two or three hundred stone officials at most. In terms of official rank, it is simply impossible to form an effective restraint on Liu Chuang, the 600-stone county commander.

Therefore, Liu Chuang temporarily acted in Blackwater City for a while, and it went very smoothly. In later generations, under the stacked bed frame house of the civil official system, there is still a general judgment in the prefecture, and there is still a general judgment in the prefect, and there is still a Tongzhi in the prefect, and it is not the turn of a county order to control the state capital yamen.

Unceremoniously transferred his public party to the county court office, Liu Chuang was also gearing up and his heart was hot, and the county court officials also knew that the assassination of Ren Chonghao was also very strange, and he would never fight with this Liu Mingting at this moment.

Just when Liu Chuang turned over and sang in the county order, naturally there were people who were willing to join in.

This morning, Liu Chuang was talking with several confidants about this year's grain tax in Jide County. Zhangye County is the leading grain-producing county among the thirteen counties in Liangzhou, and the annual grain supply is a major event, which must not be taken lightly. Fortunately, this year, Liu Chuang has the temporary arbitrary power to act as the county court, but he can pay a little more attention to the county in advance, and it is difficult for others to say anything.

was talking with a few Makuzuo, but he heard Menzi trotting all the way up to the lobby without taking off his shoes: "Mingting......! Mingting! Someone is coming!"

Seeing this man's panicked appearance, Liu Chuang waved his hand unhappily: "Who is coming? Duan Taishou sent a message yesterday and is scheduled to return in August, who is this person who is here, and it is worthy of you like this!"

The man also looked incredulous, looked at Liu Chuang and said, "Yes, it's Big Imar who is here!"

Listening to the words "Great Imar", Liu Chuang's back was also slightly straight, and then he smiled to himself, waved his hand and said: "He is an old man, barely a few levels of civil lords, but he is not yet old enough to hold a dove cane, how can he come to this county court if he wants?

Listening to Liu Chuang's instructions, the man finally calmed down a little bit, and held a roll of parchment and presented it: "Big Imar, he took a team of people, drove dozens of sheep, wine and jacquard felt blankets, saying that he came to say goodbye to Mingting - this, this is a gift list!"

Liu Chuang didn't take the gift list, but smiled left and right: "This old thing, as always, will look at the style." After Ren Chonghao was assassinated, he could only resign and become a waster, and there was no hope for the rest of his life. This old man has lost a big arm, but he still knows how to restrain the prestige of the past, and he is willing to come to serve the small and low in front of the official. ”

At that moment, some staff members smiled and cheered: ""Zuo Chuan" has clouds, and it can be changed after that, and it is very good." Although this old man Ibn has a somewhat unruly temperament, after all, he is the leader of the local parishioners and Qianghu, and the Ming Court will always be useful to him in the future. Since he recognized the general trend at this time and was willing to come to the Ming Court with humble resignation, why would the Ming Court refuse to let people go thousands of miles away?"

After these words, several other officials also nodded their heads and said yes, and said many words of good praise and good prayer.

Liu Chuang listened to these words of praise, and he couldn't help but feel free in his heart, and nodded his head slightly: "Then it's good to see this old guy first." However, according to the official's thoughts, this old man is also the leader of Qianghu after all, and he is vaguely regarded as a wishing official. Now that we have met, this official's reprimand is too serious, it's all inappropriate, can you teach me?"

Listening to this hint that could not be understood, several Makuzuo did not know how to advance or retreat, and they all excused themselves to still have some chores on their bodies, and they left after a while.

When Liu Chuang saw that everyone was retreating, he got up and instructed the menzi: "Let that Ibn himself come into the back hall to meet him, and no one around him is allowed to follow him—even those sheep wines and the like, and send them to take them and walk." ”

Menzi took the order, and after a while, he saw the old man Ibn who seemed to be dignified and dignified on weekdays, and who did not even pay much attention to ordinary officials, holding a brocade box in his hand, hunched his back slightly, and walked in with a trembling step. In this way, how can there be some prestige as the leader of the local Qianghu?

Although he knew this gesture, it was only pretended by the old man Ibn. However, in officialdom, many times it is nothing more than a superficial article, and being willing to do superficial articles and even disdainful of superficial articles are purely two natures. As for Liu Chuang himself, he doesn't have any ambitions to Jingping, as long as everyone is passable and does not hinder his personal career progress, that's it.

Therefore, seeing that the old man Ibn put on such a posture, Liu Chuang unconsciously lowered the anger groove that had been accumulated for a long time since taking office. However, he can also be regarded as a character who has been trained in the officialdom, and the city government still has this point, and his face is still in a businesslike tone, and he said coldly: "This official is just because of the assassination of Ren Chonghao because of his facial features, so he is temporarily acting for the affairs of the county court, and there is no joy to congratulate." If you have anything to tell you, just say it quickly. ”

Liu Chuang wants to play an honest appearance, but in the past few decades, the morale has changed, and it is no longer the same as it was at the beginning. The old man Yiben didn't care about Liu Chuang's performance, but just held the brocade box and opened the lid of the box: "Ming Ting is a great sage, and now he is in charge of the county court on behalf of Duan Taishou, and his career must be promoted step by step, to the third duke, Ze and his descendants, and it is a certain number to come." Although the old man was born in Qianghu, he is also willing to attach the tail of Ji, follow the story of Yang Bao, and specially offer a pair of jade sheep for Ming Tingshou. ”

A pair of jade sheep lying in the brocade box, all the size of a palm, the whole body is white, faintly revealing the green meaning, obviously made of the best jade produced in Khotan. Only this pair of jade sheep is worth a lot of money.

And the story of Yang Bao mentioned by the old man Ibn is that when Yang Bao of Fufeng got the yellow bird to offer four white jade rings, from then on, the fourth captain of the Yang family of Fufeng was a famous minister, and he was praised for a while.

The pair of jade sheep sent by the old man Ibn happened to scratch Liu Chuang's itch, and he no longer took the shelf, raised his hand and pointed to the chief, signaling the old man to sit down and talk.

The old man Yiben presented the jade sheep and sat down freely, before he said to Liu Chuang: "It's just that the Ming Court now has a great danger, which is very important to the future, I don't know if the old man should talk about it?"
