The happy life of a prodigal

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao claims to be your nephew, Mr. Zhifu, and you are his uncle, Mr. Zhifu. It seems that his name is Ziping. Why? Hasn't Mr. Zhifu heard of it?"

When the prefect of Jinzhou heard the word Ziping, his complexion changed, it can be said to be very ugly.

He looked at Fang Xiu, sighed heavily, and said: "Your Majesty, I know that it must be the absurd thing that the dishonest thing did, and let your lord see it.

Xiaguan admitted that he was at fault for failing to take good care of the juniors in his family, and Xiaguan was willing to accept any punishment. "

When Fang Xiu heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

It seems that what kind of virtue is his nephew, the prefect of Jinzhou still knows it in his heart!

"Master Zhifu, you have misunderstood." Fang Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am not trying to be sarcastic. Although this Zhao Ziping has some minor problems, he likes to bully others, but he has not rotted to the root. Just a prodigal son who turned back.

Just now, I watched him standing in front of this notice, reading the notice to the common people, as a scholar, it is really good to have such awareness..."

The prefect of Jinzhou blushed when he heard this.

What a shame, what a shame!

My nephew, can I still not understand?

Just him, a scholar?

If he can be regarded as a scholar, then there is no one in the world who is not a scholar!

It's nothing more than a sentence I heard some time ago: Everything is inferior, only reading is high.

I feel that reading is the highest glory, and I start to use reading to flaunt myself, that's all.

Those restaurants, brothels, poetry clubs...

If he participated, he would be humiliating himself. Only at this city gate, facing a group of illiterate and vulgar farmers, could he find his sense of superiority as a scholar.

That's all...

"My lord, this nephew of Xiaguan is really a rotten piece of wood. The reason why he is here is not for the sake of the people, but... just to flaunt that he is a scholar. It is ridiculous to say, but this nephew of Xiaguan This is the case with Er'er's heart, and it is also because the lower officials are negligent in discipline.

If my lord wants to find a helper, there are still a lot of talents in the government office of Jinzhou Prefecture, so my lord can borrow them and use them. "

The prefect of Jinzhou cupped his hands and said so.

After Fang Xiu heard this, he waved his hands and said leisurely: "What I need is not a smart person, I just value the true temperament of your nephew, magistrate, please rest assured, I am not a smart person. Do not do anything to your nephew, but to use him against you.

I just think this person is interesting, maybe he can help me and help me solve some things that I can't come forward, that's all. "

Oh, I see.

When the prefect of Jinzhou heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

As I said before, there are many things that people on the stage can't do, and they have to come forward.

His nephew can't study well, but he can do well with martial arts. Hanging out with some gangsters on weekdays can indeed help him a little.

So, he cupped his hands and said: "Since your lord said so, then I will thank you for your kindness in nurturing me on behalf of my nephew who is not up to date."

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang Xiu waved his hand.

Immediately, his eyes turned to one place.

There, a young man in a green shirt and holding a folding fan was choosing rouge in front of a rouge booth.

However, if you observe carefully, you can see that his gaze never left Fang Xiu and the magistrate from the beginning to the end.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Ziping.

Zhao Ziping happened to be looking at him too.

The gazes of the two people met in midair, but no flames burst out.

Because Zhao Ziping hastily looked away, not daring to meet Fang Xiu's gaze.

On the other side, the prefect of Jinzhou followed Fang Xiu's gaze and saw Zhao Ziping, his face darkened, and he said loudly, "What are you doing standing so far away, you worthless thing!"

Chapter One Thousand and Five

Hearing his uncle's voice, Zhao Ziping froze in place. It took him a while to react, and trotted to the front of the prefect of Jinzhou, lowered his head, dared not say a word, trembling.

It can be seen that the Zhao family's tutoring is still very strict.

At least Zhao Ziping looked like a cat that saw a tiger in front of his uncle...

When the prefect of Jinzhou saw this scene, he was naturally even more angry. He slapped him when he went up, and cursed angrily: "Look at you bastard, you can't do anything. If you are asked to read, you can do nothing but know a few words." No, if you practice martial arts, you won't develop any masculinity, let alone awe-inspiring righteousness!

You haven't made any mistakes, why are you so cautious and trembling!When a gentleman stands in the world, he should have no shame in his heart. Let me ask you, do you have any shame in your heart? "

Zhao Ziping got slapped for no reason, with a face full of grievances, covering his face, he said in his heart: You didn't do anything wrong, you still hit someone!Just like you, can I not be afraid?What does it have to do with Haoran's righteousness!

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth. He just lowered his head and said cautiously: "What uncle taught me is that my nephew knows his mistake..."

"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, I've heard you say the same thing no less than a hundred times, but I've seen you repent! I feel a headache just seeing you!"

The prefect of Jinzhou glared at him angrily.

"..." Zhao Ziping lowered his head and said nothing.

Years of experience told him that not speaking at this time is the best way to avoid disaster.

Sure enough, seeing that he didn't speak, the prefect of Jinzhou couldn't continue to reprimand him, so he slowed down and said, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Ziping raised his eyes subconsciously to look at Fang Xiu, then quickly lowered his head, thinking: Needless to say, it must have something to do with this kid who doesn't know where he came from!

He still didn't dare to say, but lowered his head and said cautiously: "Nephew doesn't know."

"Unbelievable stuff!" The prefect of Jinzhou scolded again, and then said: "I called you here because there is an opportunity in front of you. This lord lacks a helper by his side, and he has taken a fancy to you by name. From then on , you will follow beside this adult.

Whatever this lord tells you to do, you do it, even if he asks you to fight the enemy, you can't disobey, understand? "

When Zhao Ziping heard this, his eyes widened, his mouth was slightly opened, and his expression was disbelieving.

Immediately, he said loudly: "Uncle, this man has a grudge against me, this man has a grudge against me! If you hand me over to him, he will definitely avenge his private revenge! Will you still see me at that time? Until the living nephew or two said.

Uncle, you must not hand me over to him, you must not! "

The voice was very shrill.

The prefect of Jinzhou heard it, but he pretended not to hear it at all.

I don't know how many times I have used this similar method, this unsatisfactory thing.

Every time something is entrusted to him, he can always find a bunch of messy reasons to shirk.

As his uncle, the prefect of Jinzhou knows his character very well.

So, he said viciously: "Don't make noise! ​​I have already told you that this is your chance. Do you think that everyone in this world is as small-bellied as you? This lord is from the Kyoto Prefecture. He has a high position and authority, and he came to Jinzhou this time for the purpose of military settlements.

You can learn a lot by following this lord, gain a lot of insights, just to change your short-sightedness!

What is there to complain about! "

Saying this is actually a reminder to Fang Xiu.

No matter what conflicts you had before, now I hand over my own nephew to you, you don't want to be petty and avenge yourself, otherwise I will have a temper.

Of course, this is very cryptic.

No matter what, he was his nephew, no matter how fiercely he scolded him, his heart was still toward him.

In fact, it was because he cared about this nephew that he scolded him so fiercely.

If you don't care, you have already separated from him and ignored him.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ziping still can't understand this truth.

At this moment, he only knows his uncle, and his own uncle has just pushed himself towards his enemy.

This is to push yourself into the fire pit!

My uncle!How could this be so!How could this be so!

"Uncle, absolutely not, absolutely not!" Zhao Ziping was still dying.

The prefect of Jinzhou was too lazy to entangle him any more, so he scolded angrily: "Zhao Ziping, look at yourself, where is there any manliness left? look at you, what a thing!

This matter is settled, no matter what you say, no matter how much trouble you make, it cannot be changed. Follow this lord's side carefully, watch carefully, study hard, and don't let me down to your expectations . "

After finishing speaking, instead of looking at Zhao Ziping, he looked at Fang Xiu, bowed respectfully, looked serious, and said solemnly: "My lord, I will leave the nephew of the next official to you."

This serious tone made Zhao Ziping, who was about to continue crying, startled for a moment.

Although his uncle has been scolding him, but at this moment when he salutes this man, he is very solemn. It seems that he does not look like he is indifferent to himself as he imagined.

For some reason, a small movement of his uncle made his heart feel much more at ease.

He finally stopped fussing.

Seeing the two of them like this, Fang Xiu smiled, waved his hands and said, "How many times do I have to say it before you believe me? I chose Zhao Ziping as my assistant just because I liked his true temperament. Nothing else.

To tell you the truth, when I was in Kyoto Prefecture, I didn’t see any scenes or people.

Just because someone targeted me on who advanced into the city, this officer targeted him, which would have taken me too lightly.

This official has never been that small-minded person, let alone that narrow-minded person! "

Fang Xiu's words were resounding.

When the prefect of Jinzhou and Zhao Ziping heard this, every stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

This adult is not a narrow-minded person!

Therefore, the prefect of Jinzhou thanked you again, and then said: "Naturally, the lower official trusts the lord. There are still many things in the government office waiting for the lower official to deal with. If the lord has nothing else to do, the lower official will go first." Retire..."

Fang Xiu nodded, waved his hands, and said, "It's okay, you can go back."

"The next official resigns..."

The prefect of Jinzhou saluted, turned and left.

Zhao Ziping stood on the spot alone, feeling even more cramped all of a sudden.

He lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fang Xiu looked at him, but there was a smile on his face, and he asked, "What do you think of falling into my hands?"

The first thousand and six chapters recruit a hundred people, I promise you a centurion

"..." Zhao Ziping was silent, not saying a word.

Fang Xiu looked at him, with a smile on his face, and said leisurely: "It's fine if you don't speak, I will send you to the forefront, as a pawn, to fight against those pirates."

When the voice fell, it was obvious that Zhao Ziping trembled.

He is just a dude, not to mention fighting with pirates, even killing a chicken, how can he bear it when he hears the news.

"Still talking?" Fang Xiu looked at him with a raised brow and a smile on his face.

Zhao Ziping took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his emotions, and said, "I have nothing to say to you. I am a scholar. How can I compare with a martial artist like you."

"Hahaha!" Fang Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, looked at Zhao Ziping, and asked, "Have you ever thought about why your uncle is so afraid of me?"

"So what if you've thought about it, so what if you haven't thought about it, my son is a student of An Guogong, what can you do to me!" Zhao Ziping said with a serious face, every word.

I don't know, I really thought he was a student of An Guogong.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu's expression became a little strange. He tried not to laugh out loud, looked at him, and asked, "Do you know what Duke An looks like? You call yourself a student of Duke An?"

It was only then that Zhao Ziping remembered that the person in front of him was from the capital, and he probably knew An Guogong. In that case, what he said would become a joke to him.

After hesitating for a while, I decided to tell the truth: "My son is going to Beijing to worship under the Academy of Arts and Sciences. An Guogong is the dean of the Academy of Arts and Sciences. Even if I am not a student of An Guogong now, I will definitely become a student of An Guogong in the future." .”

What this says...

Fang Xiu didn't know how to answer for a while, so he waved his hands and said: "I will tell you the truth, I am the special envoy of An Guogong, and this time I am here to deal with the military settlement.

Now that we have encountered the pirates again, I naturally cannot stand by and watch. Just now I discussed with your uncle how to eliminate the pirates and how to recruit soldiers. Can you hear me? "

"So what if you hear it, so what if you don't hear it, I'm a scholar." Zhao Ziping said firmly.

It seems that Fang Xiu insists that he is a scholar, and Fang Xiu has nothing to do with him.

In fact, this is indeed the case. In this era, scholars do have many privileges, among which are not to be recruited, not to perform corvee service and military service.

But the premise is that he is a real scholar, at least he must be a scholar, obviously Zhao Ziping is not in this ranks.

So, Fang Xiu said: "To be honest, if you don't keep mentioning that you are a scholar, I really don't want you to be a martial artist, but now...
