Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Ok?

Guo Ye calmed down a little. Since it wasn't about the He family, what else could stop him from being promoted to the ninth rank?

Immediately asked: "Ma Gongcao, please tell me!"

Ma Yuanju said: "You and I know very well that this time the bandits besieged the city, the county magistrate took the excuse of going to the Ganye Temple to worship the Buddha and left the county with his family. Where is Gu Dezhao? As the county captain in charge of a county's security, he is here At the critical moment, [-] people left the city to escape from the city and return to their hometown to worship their ancestors. Hehe, they are all a group of cowardly people. They are afraid that bandits will attack the city, and the city gate will catch fire and the fish in the pond will be harmed.”

Although Guo Ye is calm now, it doesn't mean he has enough patience. Immediately, he urged Ma Yuanju a little irritably: "Master Gongcao, Guo Ye knows your character. If you have something to say, you can speak it directly without going around in circles."

Ma Yuanju's face was full of shame, after all he strongly advocated and recommended Guo Ye to organize the whole county to guard the city, but now he has a bitter mouth in his heart.

But in the end, he still bite the bullet and said: "The contribution of this time is beyond your imagination. A small county town can keep thousands of thieves out of the city. , It is a great political achievement. Gu Dezhao slandered the county magistrate, wanting the three of them to share the credit, and exclude you."

"I hate his grandma, I will take my six hundred sons to kill these three bastards right now!"

Guo Ye was not angry, and Kang Bao who was next to him jumped up again. This guy has seen shameless people, but this is the first time he has heard such shameless things.

Ma Yuanju hurriedly grabbed him again, beckoning him to stay calm.

And Guo Ye also comforted him: "Brother Kang, your brotherly love is appreciated. It is not a trivial matter to lead troops to attack the county government. After all, you belong to the Zhechong Duwei's Mansion. At that time, you will be fueled by someone with a heart and stabbed to Yizhou In the place of Lord Inspector, even your father, Captain Kang, can’t be blamed. Don’t be impulsive!”

At this time, Guo Ye no longer had the anger that he jumped off the bed just now. On the contrary, his expression now is extremely calm, unusually calm.

Immediately, he asked: "Ma Gongcao, so County Magistrate Gu also agreed to Gu Dezhao's proposal?"

Ma Yuanju shook his head and said: "Magistrate Gu did not immediately agree to Gu Dezhao's proposal, but according to my opinion, Magistrate Gu is very tempted by this proposal. You must know that the county magistrate is no longer living in Longxi County twice a year. In [-], he was not promoted because of no major achievements. And you also know that even if some achievements were made, they were delayed because of his humiliating problem. Now such a big achievement is in front of him , won't he be tempted?"

Speaking of this, he smiled at Guo Ye secretly, as if he was making fun of Gu Weiyong's stuttering problem.

But Guo Ye is not in the mood to joke with him now, and sighed to himself: "Yeah, with his qualifications as a Jinshi in the second list, how could he not want to be promoted all the way, how could he be willing to live in this small county for the rest of his life? What about the county magistrate Qipin? Hehe, according to you, the magistrate Gu was paralyzed and farted when he agreed to me before, but this time he is thinking about killing the donkey after unloading the mill, and demolishing the bridge after crossing the river?"

Ma Yuanju nodded, and said shamelessly, "Guo Ye, I feel ashamed in my heart!"

Ma Yuanju was really ashamed. If it wasn't for his persistence, how could Guo Ye willingly stay and organize government servants to defend the city, almost losing his life.

Now that the thieves have been repelled, and others will pluck the fruits of victory in vain, Guo Ye worked so hard to the end that he couldn't catch a hair.

Guo Ye did not blame Ma Yuanju from the bottom of his heart. If there was any resentment, it would be Gu Weiyong who was dishonest, Wu Kui who was greedy and shameless, and Gu Dezhao who was ambitious.

"Ha ha……"

Guo Ye seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly let out a laugh, and said to Ma Yuanju: "Ma Gongcao, do you really think they can easily take away my credit? Now the entire county yamen servants are under my orders, and there are three people in the south of the city. I am responsible for all the poor men, what can they do to me in Longxi County? Are they not afraid that I will leave Longxi County alive and spread their scandals to Yizhou County?"

what?

Ma Yuanju was also stunned, because he didn't think of this key point because he was in a hurry. That's right, Guo Ye is not a dead person. If Gu County Magistrate and the others dare to take away his credit, aren't they afraid that this kid will go to Yizhou County to seek justice?

Immediately asked: "Could it be that you want to leapfrog the lawsuit?"

Guo Ye gritted his teeth and snorted, "This is a bad idea. I will never do it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Because he knows that there is still an unspoken rule in the officialdom of any dynasty, that is, officials and officials protect each other.

Who can guarantee whether there are Gu Weiyong's contemporaries and classmates in the government offices of Yizhou County?

Leapfrog suing such things is often thankless. The best outcome is that both sides will suffer. Killing one thousand enemies will hurt eight hundred. The worst outcome may be that after arriving in Yizhou County, you will be charged with an unwarranted crime. into prison.

"That……"

Ma Yuanju wanted to ask Guo Ye what he wanted to do now, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say. No matter what, he dragged him down, and said guiltily: "The big deal is that someone Ma took off this green robe and didn't wear it. I want to seek justice for you. Guo Ye, you are ready, let's go to the Yizhou county government office and beat the drum to sue Gu County Magistrate and the three of them."

Moving!

After hearing Ma Yuanju's words of righteousness, Guo Ye was inexplicably sour and moved. Ma Yuanju, Ma Yuanju, it's really worth our friendship.

But things were not as pessimistic as Ma Yuanju thought.

Guo Ye smiled, shook his head and said: "Ma Gongcao, you should wear your official clothes well yourself. Maybe, things are not as pessimistic as you and I imagined. Don't you think the county magistrate is afraid that I will be destroyed in this way?" Is it a bad idea?"

Leaping over to sue, Guo Ye can't get anything good, and Gu Weiyong can't get any benefits. Maybe if it is spread, Gu Weiyong's reputation will be ruined.

It's not uncommon to take credit for your subordinates' credit, but you have to do it secretly. If you make it known to everyone, who the hell would dare to do things with you?

Guo Ye believes that Gu Weiyong's IQ is not so low.

After figuring out these joints, Guo Ye was not in a hurry or annoyed. He found a round stool and sat down leisurely. Don’t worry, little brother, I want to learn from an ancient sage and do one thing well.”

"what's up?"

Ma Yuanju and Kang Bao hurriedly asked in unison.

Chapter 135 Negotiations

"Brother, I will learn Jiang Taigong's fishing once today, and wait for the county magistrate Gu to come and invite me!"

Guo Ye happily swept away the previous haze, and hummed a little tune with Erlang's legs up, looking like a villain.

This time, Ma Yuanju followed Kang Bao's footsteps, looked at each other, and said to each other, talking boldly, this kid is really not surprising.

Guo Ye took out the bracelet presented by Kang Bao's younger sister Kang Zhiru that day, put it in the palm of his hand, and said to himself as if he was playing with it: "It's not wrong for the county magistrate to want the credit in my hand to add a political achievement to himself." Yes, but he has to exchange something similar, right? Where can there be such a cheap thing in this world, if you say you pick peaches, you pick peaches, is it true that I, a peach grower who carries water and dung, is a dead man?"

Now the two people present understood Guo Ye's implication. This kid wanted to use this defense of the city as a bargaining chip to negotiate a compromise with Gu County Magistrate.

Squeak!

With a sudden sound, the door was pushed open, and a little girl with braids jumped in, she was Guo Ye's younger sister, Guo Xiaoman.

Today's Guo Xiaoman is no longer the disheveled, skinny yellow-haired girl of the day. However, because of Guo Ye, the Guo family is not short of three melons and two dates for eating meat and buying fish. They all improved a lot.

Even Guo Laohan, the old man of the Guo family, has gradually recovered from his asthma, not to mention that Guo Xiaoman, who is growing up, already has a rosy face. cute.

Guo Xiaoman had met Ma Yuanju, and had been in contact with Kang Bao for a long time, and he had long since refused to recognize him.

After entering the room, he ran to Guo Ye's side, and shouted in a waxy voice, "Brother, just now a messenger came to deliver a message, saying that the county magistrate called you back to the yamen for discussion."

hiss……

Guo Ye hadn't done anything yet, but Kang Bao and Ma Yuanju who were next to him suddenly breathed a cool breeze, and looked at each other, and it was really said by Guo Ye.

"Two, take a look, how are you doing?"

Guo Ye still had that villainous look and blinked at the two of them, laughed, and walked out of the room holding Guo Xiaoman's little hand.

……

……

After half an hour,
