On the tenth day of the seventh month of 233, 45 days have passed since the day Zuoqiu Zongli applied for a job at the county office. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But today is the second time that Zuoqiu Zong has seen the county master.

Zuo Qiuzong has always been more curious about this county lord in his heart, he is curious about what kind of person this county lord is, it stands to reason that he should be a clean official in theory, not to mention anything else, just that black face. You must know that in his impression, a black face, with a full moon hanging in the middle of his forehead, is the most standard image of a clean official.

Now Zuo Qiuzong stood in front of Gongzu Yu, looked at Gongzu Yu's face, and thought in his heart that it seems that this old man is really a Qing official, and he has no business acumen at all.

"Hehe, Zuoqiu Zong, see you again. ”

Originally, Zuoqiu Zong planned to bow and make a promise to this county lord, but he didn't expect that before he could make a promise, the county lord had already warmly greeted him.

"I've seen the county lord. ”

Seeing Gongzu Yu greeting him so warmly, Zuoqiu Zong immediately bowed and promised.

"Don't be so polite, it's not above the lobby, I don't have so many rules here. It is the most important thing for officials not to lose their conscience, and as for other official prestige and official style, they are all nonsense. I met you today and I want you to do something. I heard that you have been cleaning the yard for more than a month since you came to the county office, and to be honest, it is not a problem to ask you to clean the yard every day. Besides, there is no shortage of yard sweepers in the county office. ”

It is not difficult to see from Gongzu Yu's words that this old man still has a set of ways to win people's hearts.

"Thank you, Master Love. ”

Zuoqiu Zong hit the promise again.

"That's the case, I heard that you almost fought with He Zhutou that day in order to uphold justice, to be honest, it is my honor to be able to get this kind of righteousness under my father-in-law, and the person who fights for the sake of righteousness. My father-in-law also has the meaning of mentioning you, but no matter how you say it, you can't gossip in a county office, as the saying goes, no merit is not lost, so I still won't be promoted to your official position, but I will give you a chance. Haven't you always been curious about that old man Li? I'll send you to protect that old man Li, and do my best to remind you later. ”

Gongzu Yu said very seriously to Zuoqiu Sect.

However, after hearing these words, Zuoqiu Sect immediately did not taste like this.

Although Gongzu Yu didn't promise to give him an official position, but sending him to do it was originally the biggest value for himself, and the county lord valued himself so much, what else could he say?

"Thank you for your love, but it's ....."

Zuoqiu Zong first thanked him flatteredly, and then began to hesitate again.

"But what, aren't you happy about that?"

Seeing this, Gongzu Yu also scratched his head in some puzzlement.

"No, no, no, it's just that I have a good brother, he came to the county office and cleaned the yard for more than a month, I don't know if the county lord can give him a chance to go with me?"

Zuo Qiuzong lowered his head and asked the county master tentatively in even numbers.

"Hahaha, I thought something was wrong, that's it, of course you can, no problem. However, my grandfather's ancestor Yu's ugly words can be said in front, in the county government of Yuancheng County, as long as my grandfather's ancestor is in charge, I will provide you with a platform to display your abilities, but whether you can be reused in the future does not depend on my grandfather's ancestor, but on your merits. Although I have the intention of promoting you, whether you can be reused in the end, and what position you can be promoted to depends on your performance. ”

Gongzu Yu said with a smile.

Hearing this, you can obviously hear that this is a candy and immediately gives a dismount!

However, Zuo Qiuzong didn't care about this, and even after he heard these words, he gave the county lord a new score, and gave the county lord a very high score.

After a while, the county lord summoned Jiang Yan as well, and after a brief greeting with Gongzu Yu, the two of them immediately set off for their own tasks.

After the two of them took the official document of the county government to the county government stable, and received the two horses, they rode away according to the address of the old man Li's house given to them by Gongzuyu.

I have to say that the feeling of riding a horse is different, and the two of them came to Old Man Li's house in less than half an hour.

But when they came to Old Man Li's house, they were stunned.

Because Old Man Li's house is not as simple as they imagined, it can even be said to be a mansion, or even a mansion that can't be more luxurious.

Throughout the house, which covers an area of thousands of square meters, the towering trees extending from the walls tell about their own status and value in this courtyard. Look at the gate that catches your eye, about three meters high, the red lacquer makes this door particularly dazzling under the scorching sun, and the dragon and tiger carved on the door climb on the two doors vividly.

In the eyes of Zuoqiu Sect and Jiang Yan, this can be regarded as the most luxurious life they have ever seen.

"Are we on the wrong track?"

After the two looked at the door for a long time, Jiang Yan patted his brain, and asked with a confused expression.

"I don't know!"

Although Zuo Qiuzong's face looked calmer than Jiang Yan's, if he talked about the degree of confusion at this moment, he was not inferior to Jiang Yan in any way.

Just when the two of them were nervous, the door suddenly opened.

When the door opened and the leader walked out, Zuo Qiuzong was stunned, because the person who came out was none other than Old Man Li. Because Jiang Yan didn't know Old Man Li, all he could see from his eyes was the surprise of the mansion, but he didn't notice Old Man Li.

And Zuo Qiu Zong saw a different thing, Zuo Qiu Zong saw an old man Li with a red face, and even to his surprise, Old Man Li was completely different from the previous two meetings, at this time Old Man Li could only be described by the word rich, and even the clothes he wore looked very jeweled.

"Oh, you, you're that little catcher!"

Old man Li asked with a spring breeze on his face after seeing Zuoqiu Zong.

"Yes, yes, then you, are you still the old man Li?"

Nonsense, of course Zuoqiu Sect knows that this old man is Old Man Li, but this change has changed too much, so that Zuoqiu Sect's mind can't turn for a while.

"Boy, what's the matter, who is Old Man Li? ”

Just as Zuoqiu Sect finished speaking, a big man who followed Old Man Li and held a long knife in his hand stepped forward and shouted angrily at Zuoqiu Sect.

"Don't tighten, don't tight, you stand down. ”

Seeing that the big man came forward and roared, Old Man Li waved his hand and said to the big man, and after hearing this, the big man also hurriedly retreated, looking at the big man's appearance, it seemed that he was particularly afraid of Old Man Li.

"Li, Li Lao, no, Li Yuanwai, you, you are ...... ”

Zuo Qiuzong looked at Li Yuanwai's appearance and began to stammer.

"Oh, you're surprised by my original dress! Actually, it's nothing, you must know that many people do this in order to win the sympathy of the county lord in the county government. ”

Li Yuanwai also looked a little embarrassed and said.

"By the way, I still have some business, I want to go out for a while, you go to the house first, I tell my subordinates to prepare some food for you, you sit down for a while, I will be busy soon, and I will come back when I am done, you little child can be regarded as my great benefactor." ”

Before Zuo Qiuzong could speak, Li Yuanwai said with a smile.

After saying that, the two of them were not given any chance to react. The big man who followed behind him immediately stood up and invited the two into the courtyard.

"I said, Xiaozong, you said that the county lord asked us to protect this old man Li, look at this old man Li, followed by these groups of big men, how can I be protected by others?

Jiang Yan said tirelessly. Although Jiang Yan's family affairs are not bad, and even much better than Zuoqiu Zong, he doesn't know why he himself naturally doesn't have any good feelings for these brocade clothes and jade masters.

Now he was sent to protect such a person, and the unhappiness on his face was all on his face.

"Actually, I'm also curious, how is this still the same old man Li?"

Zuoqiu Zong was also very helpless, and said as if talking to himself.

After the man took the two of them to the courtyard, he briefly explained the layout of the courtyard and the places where they could go and which places they could not go, and then left. said that it was arranged for the kitchen to fill up some food for the two of them. Only two people were left to dry here.

At first, the two of them thought that this person was really irresponsible, so they should be arranged in the room!

But when the man was gone, the two didn't think so.

In front of me was a turquoise pond with lotus flowers blooming one by one, which made the pool look exceptionally fresh and refined.

And in the middle of the pond there is a gazebo. In the gazebo there is a stone round table, and four stone stools are placed around the round table. Surprisingly, these stone objects do not show any traces of artificial carving, as if they are natural.

At this time, a cool breeze blew, and this gust of wind blew, and the two of them also consciously had a sense of comfort beyond the world. It seems that at this moment, all three thousand troubles can be left behind.

But after this feeling of comfort, the more Zuoqiu Sect thought about it, the more unhappy he became. What is the origin of this Li Yuanwai? Although he himself said that he went to the county government office to win the sympathy of the old man, he didn't feel right about this kind of rhetoric.

Even at this moment, he thought of the Liu Neng who was waiting in front of the yamen to open the door that day, the Liu Neng who was carrying a big money bag, wasn't that Liu Neng also very rich, and even when he went to the county yamen, he could see that he could eat more than Old Man Li!

Then why did Old Man Li pretend to be like that?

Could it be that this old man has masochistic tendencies?

Zuoqiu Sect thought of it very nonsensically, and the only reason he could think of seemed to be this, but the problem was that he didn't even believe in this reason!
