Chapter 43: Differential Treatment

When they arrived at the door of the post house together, Wu Kejiu looked at Du Zhongxiao with vigilant eyes. At this time, I came to the post house, needless to say, there was only one purpose, that is, to meet Li Dui. In another year, it is customary to hold another release test, and the attitude of people like Li Dui is very important.

Cao Jucheng whispered in Wu Kejiu's ear: "Cousin, looking at the appearance of this guy, you don't need to ask and come to see Li Guanren." We had some unpleasantness with his house and it would have been best to go in before him. Otherwise, who knows what he said to the officials. This guy has been proud lately, and it's no longer the same as last year, so be careful! ”

Wu Kejiu nodded, stepped forward first, and said in front of the post guard: "In Xia Wu Kejiu, he is a member of the 'Drunken Immortal Residence'. I heard that Li Guanren had returned to his hometown and province, so he came to pay a visit. ”

The post guard shook his head: "But unfortunately, the official wants to rest, and he ordered not to see the guests." ”

Wu Kejiu was willing to stop there, and his face was full of smiles: "Brother is accommodating, go in and inform the official." ”

The postman straightened his face and scolded: "Why are you so ignorant! Li Guanren is a high-ranking official in the capital, who dares to brush his mind! I've already ordered not to see the guests, and then go in and make noise, do you want me to be beaten by the board! ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly, and stepped forward to arch his hand: "My father is a native of Du Ju, a Gongjin Shi, a township in this county." My father and Li Guanren are old friends, studying together when they were young, and they have been friends for decades. Since the officials are returning to their hometowns and provinces, they must meet their old friends. It's just that my father is now in Xuzhou City, so he can't come for a while. The official was not exempted from blame, and he came to visit the official on behalf of his father. ”

As he spoke, he took out his name thorn and handed it over.

The postman took the thorn and hesitated. Du Xun is not as famous in the county as before, and his deeds have spread all over the county. When he was young, Du Xun and Li Dui used to study together, and the post guard had heard of it. Li Dui did order not to see the guest, but it was aimed at unrelated people, Du Xun was his friend decades ago, and he was different.

After hesitating for a while, the post guard glanced at Wu Kejiu next to him and said, "Wait a minute, the little official, I'll go in and report to the official." ”

After speaking, he went straight into the post house with the famous thorn, ignoring Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng who were standing on the side.

Looking at the back of the post guard entering, Wu Kejiu was furious: "This guy is such a bastard, obviously I asked to see him first, but he is here to push back and not go through." When I saw someone else, I went in again, it's really a dog's eye and I look down on people! ”

Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "Outside the junior staff, you are not related to Li Guanren, so naturally I don't bother to pay attention to you." Although Lin Ying is small, there are more than 10,000 people, if the officials and cats and dogs also see it, there is no need to do anything else these days when they return to their hometowns. ”

Wu Kejiu looked at Du Zhongxiao and said hatefully: "You have been proud lately, but somehow you have been promoted by the magistrate and county officials, and you look like a dog." Don't forget, half a year ago, you looked like a dog before me! ”

Du Zhongxiao looked up at the sun in the sky, then looked down at Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng, and said coldly: "Outside, I always remember the events of a few months ago clearly. In particular, the gift of dozens of rods outside the junior staff has always been kept in mind. The world is impermanent, life is in the world, who knows what will happen in the future? I've been lucky for the past few months, and I can't stand tall in front of me. I just want to pay you back a few dozen rods, but I can't. We'll see if I'll continue to get lucky, or if I'll be out of the way. If the sky is pitiful, let me raise my eyebrows, and I will pay back dozens of rods in the future! Otherwise, it will be difficult to get out of the evil breath in my chest! As for now, the little one is outside me all the way, don't provoke my good. ”

Wu Kejiu sneered: "How about I provoke you?" Even if your family's business is big now, you don't have my family's background! ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head again and again: "How many big things do I have to do, how can I have the leisure to be naughty with you as an unsuccessful prodigal child." Now I'm a teenager, thinking about a bright future in the future. What kind of family, do you want to fight with me? My father is a Xianggong Jinshi, you can't compare! ”

After speaking, Du Zhongxiao waved his hand: "Get out!" If you come again, the county won't let it go lightly this time! ”

Cao Jucheng saw that things were not good, so he grabbed Wu Kejiu and said in a low voice: "Cousin, let's bear with it for a while." This guy has an old relationship with Li Guanren, and he can speak well in the official face, and it is not good to offend him in death. A year later, most of them will have the imperial examination, which will offend the leading figures in the county, and it will be ugly if you can't find a guarantor. I have moved thousands of miles here, and this time I must be relieved, don't be angry! ”

Wu Kejiu looked at Du Zhongxiao, his chest rose and fell violently, and it took a long time to calm down.

At this moment, the post guard came out of it and bowed his hand to Du Zhongxiao: "Little official, Li Guanren, please see you inside." ”

Du Zhongxiao thanked the post guard, lifted the wine, turned around and glanced at Wu Kejiu, and followed the post man into the post house.

Wu Kejiu saw it, pointed to Du Zhongxiao's back, and said hatefully to Cao Jucheng: "The thief still turned around and glared at me!" I'm so! Just a few months ago, this guy was selling a few sheep's hooves along the street, like a wild dog in front of me, and now he is in a rage! ”

Cao Jucheng sighed: "The world is impermanent, which one can say accurately." Speaking of which, it's also strange that my cousin's temperament is not tolerant. If they hadn't forced their family hard at that time, Du Juren would not have gone to the state city to complain. The state will not investigate this matter, and will not send Fan Zhi County to act on behalf of Shi County. Alas, since Fan Zhixian came, this family has been running from time to time. ”

After speaking, Cao Jucheng was a little confused, and he looked a little remorseful.

Wu Kejiu heard this, looked at his cousin and said, "In this way, I am to blame for this matter?" ”

The same can be said. It's not that my cousin pushed the Du family and the Han family too hard, I'm afraid that this guy is still selling sheep's trotters along the street, and Han Lao'er's small foot shop may not be able to open, and we are still happy and happy. The Du family is a township tribute jinshi, you look inconspicuous, as soon as luck comes, the family business will be like blowing up. I have always said to study hard and prepare for the next year's scientific examination, and you have to solve the worst problems, you have not cared. Looking at the current Du family, do you still dare to look down on the Xianggong Jinshi? The Du family doesn't have this identity, which official will look at them squarely! ”

Hearing this, Wu Kejiu was stunned for a moment. In retrospect, it all started because of this. If he hadn't entered Han's foot shop by accident that evening, if he hadn't seen Han Yueniang's bent on taking her as a concubine, or if he hadn't forced Du Zhongxiao to have no way out, everything could have been avoided.

If it weren't for the thought at that time, even if Du Zhongxiao was not arrested in prison later, but just used normal means to persecute the Han family, it might not have come to this point. What about the Xianggong Jinshi? Without the support of officials, it is nothing at all. But he did everything by himself, forcing Du Xun to go to the state to complain, and everything has changed since then.

What is rich and powerful, it is nothing in front of an official word. To this point, whether it is the Du family's father and son, or the government, there is room for doing things, and there is no power to retaliate against Wu Kejiu. Otherwise, it is not good to say what the Wu family will become.

Cao Jucheng sighed: "Cousin, this time we have to admit it, don't tease the Du family father and son again." In the future, you can study with peace of mind and be safe and secure. If God has mercy and goes to the capital to go to high school in one fell swoop, at that time, it will be another world. If you insist on refusing, my brother is afraid that you will fall deeper and deeper, and even the road to the future will be cut off, and there will be no regret at that time! ”
