People always think I'm a broken sleeve

The servant came to the gate of Xuanfu, listened to it, and repeated the answer of Xuanyue verbatim in the ear of the head Wan Gaozhan.

After hearing this, Wan Gaozhan raised his eyebrows, looked at Jinlin in front of him again, and said in a deep voice: "Today, the master is ill and it is inconvenient to see guests. Prince Lin, please go back."

Looking at Wan Gaozhan's expressionless face, Jin Lin couldn't help but feel a little depressed and said, "That's how you, a slave, returned to my king last time! I don't believe you! You...you

Let me go in and have a look, I will see the Guowei in person before leaving! "

Wan Gaozhan didn't change his face, "The slave is old. If Prince Lin insists on trespassing on the Guowei's mansion, the slave will not be able to stop him. But... I'm afraid it will make the master unhappy.

. "

Wan Gaozhan's words fell, Jin Lin's heart trembled, and he immediately dismissed the idea of ​​breaking into Xuanfu.

As the younger brother of the Jin Emperor, Jin Lin would never dare to make Xuan Yue angry even if he provoked him a thousand times.

Jin Lin said awkwardly: "The king will come to visit another day..."

Wan Gaozhan replied: "Respectfully send off Prince Lin."

Jin Lin reluctantly left after one step and three turns.

As soon as Jinlin left, Wan Gaozhan closed the door expressionlessly.

Wan Gaozhan came to the back garden, stopped two meters behind Xuanyue, and continued: "Master, I have already left."

Xuan Yue didn't turn his head back, as if he had never heard of it.

A few seconds later, Xuan Yue turned around and walked past Wan Gaozhan, "Fill it up and dispose of it."

Looking in the direction behind Xuan Yue, I saw that the fish that were still swimming in the pond just now turned white and floated up.

Wan Gaoan responded calmly, "Yes."

Ningxiang County.

The next day after the trial, Su Bian sentenced the lawyer to work in the farmland for three months without monthly payment, and he was not allowed to rest except for normal eating and sleeping.

The lawyer is a frail scholar who has never done farm work. He only stayed in the farmland for a day, and came back crying and begged Su Bian for mercy.Even more, he would rather be Su Bian's male favorite than go to the farmland

Work.

But the result... can be imagined.

The fact that Su Bian sentenced Huo Zun, who had disregarded human life, to death, and took him to the capital to question his beheading, as well as the fact that he sought justice for the prostitute, spread throughout Ningxiang in just one night.

county.

The people of Ningxiang County were shocked and amazed.

The people in Ningxiang County were half-believing, and at the same time realized belatedly, that 'Zhuang Duxin' really hadn't molested the young master on the street for quite a while, and even Xiaoguanlou hadn't

Been there again.

The people were puzzled, and at the same time couldn't help but become curious about the current county magistrate.

... Did Zhuang Duxin take the wrong medicine, or was he taken away by someone?

The common people were curious, but the current county magistrate was so insane that he couldn't see his figure at all.

In the Zhuang mansion.

There is no need to collect taxes, and there is no need to go to court, and today's accounts have already been settled.Su Bian was lying on the bamboo chair, basking in the sun, and dozed off with his eyes closed.

Zhong Liang once wanted to stand beside Su Bian to fan him, but the latter mercilessly refused.The reason was that he was afraid that the former would suddenly undress in front of him without saying a word.

At this time, Yan Ruyu suddenly walked towards Su Bian.

Yan Ruyu stood still beside the bamboo chair, and said: "Just now, I got the news that the governor of Huaizhou has rushed to the capital. If there is no accident...he must have asked the captain of the capital to plead for mercy?"

Su Bian opened his eyes, "Guo Wei?"

The word Guowei has been seen in Zhuang Duxin's study. Guowei is the highest military position, commanding the army, and responsible for the appointment, dismissal and assessment of officers at all levels.

If you want to intercede with someone, you shouldn't go to Guowei, you should go to Jiuqing.

As if seeing Su Bian's doubts, Yan Ruyu continued: "Now the Jiuqing is still vacant, so now this position is temporarily taken by Chang Huai...and that Chang Huai is the Guowei's man.

. "

Su Bian understood.

Su Bian looked up at Yan Ruyu, and said, "How did you know that?"

Yan Ruyu coughed dryly, and said unnaturally: "Before, in order to get money, the servants were cheating and abducting everywhere... If you cheated in one place, you were afraid that the government would chase you... so you changed to another place

.The more places I go, the more I listen to..."

Seeing that Yan Ruyu's expression didn't seem to be lying, Su Bian slowly looked away.

Yan Ruyu couldn't help asking: "My lord, if the magistrate really went to the Guo Wei to intercede, what should we do now?"

Su Bian's expression did not change, "It's fate."

He is just a small county magistrate, how can he be a captain of the country.

Three days later.

Huo Chengyao rushed for three days without sleep, and finally arrived in the capital.If it is normal, I am afraid it will take seven days to arrive.

In the past three days, two carriages were changed, and three horses were exhausted.After untold hardships, finally rushed to the capital.

Huo Chengyao directly ordered the coachman to stop outside the Xuanfu. After the carriage stopped, the unkempt Huo Chengyao jumped out of the carriage and anxiously knocked on the door.

Huo Chengyao slapped the door and said: "Master Guowei, I am Huo Chengyao, the magistrate of Huaizhou. I have something urgent to ask to see Mr. Guowei!"

After waiting for a while, the door slowly opened from inside.

The doorman opened the door, and seeing Huo Chengyao outside the door was unkempt, he couldn't help scoffing without hesitation: "Where is the beggar coming from? Get out!"

After all, he was about to close the door.

Huo Chengyao hurriedly jammed the crack of the door with his arm, and quickly explained: "This little brother misunderstood, I am Huo Chengyao, the magistrate of Huaizhou, and I am by no means a bastard."

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and prepared to hand it to the doorman.

The door boy glanced at it and saw that the money Huo Chengyao took out was indeed not a beggar, so he said, "Wait here for a while, I'll ask my servant to ask for instructions."

Huo Chengyao hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "Hey, okay, please trouble this little brother."

The doorman turned around and asked the maid to ask Wan Gaozhan for instructions.

At this time, Xuan Yue was drawing a bow and shooting arrows with Chang Huai in the open space in front of Zhangtai Building.

As a captain of the state, Xuan Yue has high martial arts skills, and his arrows hit the bull's-eye. Although Chang Huai also practiced archery a little on weekdays, compared with Xuan Yue, he is still a little inferior.

After ten arrows, Chang Huai lost as expected.

Chang Huai let out a long sigh and said, "I'd like to bet and admit defeat."

Xuan Yue put down the bow, and waited for his servants to take it quickly.

Xuan Yue said without turning his head: "Master Chang's archery is getting more and more degraded."

Chang Huai said respectfully: "Master Xuan Yue's archery skills are becoming more and more exquisite."

Such obvious flattery, in the past, Xuanyue would have scoffed at it, but it seems that Xuanyue is in a good mood today, so there is no reaction on his face.

At this time, the servant girl suddenly came to Wan Gaozhan's side who was waiting, and whispered something in her whisper.

When Wan Gaozhan heard this, he frowned without thinking, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Master, not everyone can see it, but a mere magistrate, and he wants to see him.

drive away. "

The servant girl responded and stepped back slowly.

Just when the servant girl was about to leave, Xuan Yue caught a glimpse and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xuan Yue's mood is indeed good today, if it was in the past, he would not even glance at it.

The maid looked hesitantly at Wan Gaozhan who was standing beside her, wondering if she should say something.

Wan Gaozhan on the side said respectfully: "It is Huo Chengyao, the magistrate of Huaizhou, who wants to see the master."

Xuan Yue glanced at Wan Gaozhan and asked, "What is it for?"

Wan Gaozhan continued: "I just said that I need to find the master in an urgent matter, but I haven't said what it is for. The servant just sent the servant girl to drive him away."

Xuan Yue raised his feet and walked towards the official hall, saying: "I am in a good mood today, let him in."

Wan Gaozhan was slightly surprised. Two seconds later, he came back to his senses and said yes.

Then, Wan Gaozhan turned sideways and looked back at the servant girl. The latter was comprehended, and then slowly backed away.

Xuan Yue walked towards the official hall without looking back, while Chang Huai quietly followed behind.

After the servant girl retreated, she came to the gate.

Huo Chengyao outside the gate looked at the maid, and said nervously: "What does Mr. Guowei say?"

The servant girl said indifferently: "My lord, please come with your servant."

The doorman listened, and then opened the door to let people go.

Unexpectedly seeing Xuan Yue, Huo Chengyao wept with joy.

Huo Chengyao never said a word to Xuan Yue.

To be precise, there is no chance at all.Of course, the latter would not care about a small magistrate like him.

Therefore, Huo Chengyao, who was able to talk to Xuan Yue for the first time, was too excited.

What will you say in front of Mr. Guowei later?

What kind of words does the Lord Lieutenant like to hear?

Why did Master Guowei make an exception to meet him?Could it be that he had intended to recruit him, the magistrate, a long time ago?

Huo Chengyao had a lot of thoughts, and within a short distance, Huo Chengyao thought of countless possibilities.

The maid who led the way walked very fast, oh no, it should be the maid from Guowei's Mansion who walked very fast.

Not long after, the servant girl brought Huo Chengyao to the official hall where Xuan Yue was.

After arriving at the official hall, the maid consciously stood still outside the door, while Huo Chengyao stood blankly outside the official hall, looking at the awe-inspiring Xuanyue in the official hall, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Looking at Huo Chengyao's stupid look outside the door, Chang Huai in the official hall couldn't help but frowned slightly in disgust.

Chang Huai couldn't believe it, it was such a stupid idiot that Mr. Guo Wei was going to see later.

——It’s simply not at the level of the captain of the country.

Chang Huai felt contemptuous and disdainful, perhaps because he had seen too many idiots, Xuan Yue's face showed no reaction.

Xuan Yue didn't even look at Huo Chengyao, and said coolly: "...Master Huo came all the way to the capital to ask to see this official, just to stand in this official's mansion in a daze?"

After Xuanyue said, Huo Chengyao came back to his senses belatedly.

After regaining his senses, Huo Chengyao immediately stepped into the official hall without even thinking about it, knelt down in front of Xuan Yue, kowtowed and said: "I beg Lord Lieutenant of the State to save the official's Zun'er! Zun'er will be imprisoned soon

I went to the capital to inquire about beheading, I have no other choice but to come to Lord Lieutenant—"

Xuan Yue didn't raise his eyes, "Zun'er?"

Huo Chengyao immediately replied obediently: "It's the son of the lower official... There is only such an only son in the lower official's mansion. If he just dies like this, what should the lower official do—"

Chang Huai who was sitting on the side, that is, Chang Huai who is currently the temporary post of Jiuqing, asked back: "Then what crime did Mr. Huo's dog commit, so that he will be asked to be beheaded?"

Huo Chengyao moved his mouth, carefully glanced at Xuan Yue's incomprehensible expression, and whispered: "It's just... accidentally killing a child..."

Hearing this, Chang Huai snorted, and asked back, "Master Huo, you don't understand the matter of killing someone for your life... don't you?"

Huo Chengyao subconsciously said, "But this is the only son in the government—"

Chang Huai looked at Huo Chengyao indifferently.

At this time, Xuan Yue suddenly opened his mouth.

Xuanyue said: "So Lord Huo now wants me to exonerate the dog from the death penalty?"

After hearing this, Huo Chengyao thought that Xuanyue was going to make an exception to show mercy, so he nodded happily in agreement.

Then, Xuan Yue said again: "The death penalty is inevitable, but... I want Lord Huo's dog to have a leg."

Huo Chengyao was taken aback, but he didn't react.

Huo Chengyao asked hesitantly: "...What is the meaning of Mr. Guowei?"

Xuan Yue pursed his lips and sneered, "I will not repeat a word in a word."

Xuanyue's words fell, this time Huo Chengyao finally understood.
