"County Lieutenant Lu is out asking to see you?" The county gentleman was stunned for a moment: "What is he doing at this time?" He glanced at the lieutenant and was about to say no, but he shook his head and said, "It's better to see him, see what he is going to do!" ”

"Well, let's see what he does." The county monarch Ma Ping immediately waved his hand to the little maid and said, "Let him come in!" ”

Soon the county lieutenant came to the room under the leadership of the little maid, and the county lieutenant's pace was very messy, and it could be seen that he was very anxious, and at the moment he crossed the threshold, he found that Captain Gokarasuma was also there, and almost blurted out: "Captain Thick is also there?" ”

Chou Ji nodded at him as a greeting, but his heart was full of curiosity, what was the matter with this county lieutenant Lu coming in such a hurry?

The county gentleman captured the fleeting expression of the county lieutenant Lu, he hesitated for a moment, it should be an outsider who he didn't know whether to say it or not, it seems that he came to himself for a very private or even very obscure thing, and he didn't want the third person to know, but the county gentleman was courteous in front of the lieutenant, so no matter what the obscure thing was, he would not avoid it, only in this way could he really take the position, Ma Xianjun smiled at the county lieutenant, the two had no deep friendship, it was not a smile of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, but the smile was very hypocritical and insidious, Because he was already thinking about how to use the county lieutenant as a ladder for his own position.

"I don't know what happened to County Lieutenant Lu here?"

"This ......"

Lu County Lieutenant was sluggish for a moment, how many years did he be a county lieutenant in Zhuo County, and finally boiled Gongsun Chan away, he was originally full of joy and thought that it was his turn to sit in this position, but he was told at the last moment that the imperial court appointed another person, he still remembered the day he greeted the new county order, looking at the person who appeared out of thin air on the day his eyes were full of anger, how arrogant he was, so far, the county lieutenant can not forget his arrogant appearance, and he looked at the world's demeanor, and later, the county lieutenant inquired and knew that this person was a position bought with money, This made him hate people who spent money to buy officials, especially the appearance of the mountain official just now made him have a kind of anger to be teased, although he was fond of tea, but he was not so stupid that anyone dared to confess, especially when he thought that the man's son was probably Liu De in his mouth, and then in an instant, he figured it all out and figured it out.

Will the mere pawn go to offend him, the Dushan official? Didn't you dare to offend him, a mountain official? So he immediately thought of returning the gift in full, but when he picked up the tea box, he was a little reluctant, what a good tea, just like this? He was unwilling, he wanted to think of a way to get tea without offending that person, so after thinking and meditating for a long time, he thought of the county king, wanted to borrow his hand to get the tea, and wanted to borrow that person's hand to destroy the county king, so he came to see the county commander Ma Ping, whether he agreed or not, such a good thing with two birds with one stone is worth his risk even if it is really risky, even if he refuses, he can return the gift as soon as possible, but if he agrees, then this matter is even if it is divorced from him, And he can take the opportunity to avoid this place and go to the Linshui Pavilion to sip the fairy tea.

The county lieutenant Lu took out the white bibi ring jade and put it on the Ai Ji: "This high-grade white bibi ring jade in the Western Regions was sent by Dushan Guanjiang Lingshi, saying that it was a private manor built by the head of Qiantou from a city in this county, in fact, the real owner of this manor is a soldier from Youbeiping, called Liu Deran, but he was afraid that after the arrest, the city-registered butcher would take the responsibility and escape the main master, so he wanted the lower officials to send someone to arrest the butcher's confession and then arrest the soldier. ”

The county lieutenant paused, but said with a regretful expression: "Originally, the lower official agreed to him, but unfortunately the Linshui Pavilion 'begged for thieves' (the pavilion was in charge of catching thieves) came to say that the thieves in the pavilion were all over the place, hoping that the county could send troops to arrest them, and the lower officials did not dare to harm the public for personal reasons, so they came to visit the county king!" ”

"Liu Deran?" The county gentleman felt that this name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and suddenly the thick basket on the side became anxious, his face was flushed, and he was very excited and said: "Then Liu Deran is a soldier from Youbeiping?" ”

"No way!"

Chouji's words immediately reminded the county monarch, of course he knew who the soldiers who came from Youbeiping were, and immediately understood what the county lieutenant wanted to do, and wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but he could figure it out, and he was furious, and said: "You are good at calculating, hum, but I'm not stupid, then Liu Deran is the son of Liu Yuanqi!" ”

"Xia Guan knows!"

The county lieutenant instantly retracted, and said righteously: "Although he is the son of Liu Yuanqi, can it be that the county magistrate just sits back and watches Liu Jiazi's violation of discipline and does not investigate?" ”

Liu Yuanqi? What's the matter? The two people who were peeking at the side of the crowd, he could see that this Liu Yuanqi should be the Zhuoxian Wang clan, or the Shi clan!

"What's the matter, just because he is the son of Liu Yuanqi, don't say that he built a manor privately outside the county, even if it is ten, you go to sue Jiang Lingshi now, let him open his eyes in the future, don't offend anyone!"

The county lieutenant's eyes were fixed on the county monarch, and he said in a bitter voice for a while: "County monarch, if this matter is known by the people, the people will definitely say that the county monarch indulges in lawlessness because the Liu family is a powerful family and the court does not dare to open the law, which will ruin the reputation of the county monarch." "No way, he has to fight for that box of fairy tea.

"You ......" Ma Xianjun was about to scold him for being bold, but suddenly felt that the corners of his clothes were being torn apart, and suddenly found that the captain on the side wanted to speak and stopped, which clearly meant that he should accept it first, he knew that the captain was for his own good, to protect his official reputation, which made him very moved, but at the same time made him very embarrassed, he wanted to explain, but before he could speak, he whispered in his ear: "You should accept it first, and then ask him when the Dushan official came to find him!" ”

Ma Ping County Ling didn't know what a good way to deal with Chouji, but listening to his tone, he thought that he had a way to deal with it, plus he was now trying his best to please Chouji, nodded, and said: "For the sake of this official reputation, I will deal with this matter, by the way, when did Jiang Dushan come to you?" ”

County Lieutenant Lu was happy in his heart, but his face was sanctimonious and righteous: "Half an hour ago, it's a pity that the lower official wanted to be arrested, but he didn't want to be robbed in the water pavilion but came, breaking the plan of the lower official!" Saying that, he looked very distressed, and finally did not forget to apologize and said: "The lower official also has to arrange the banditry in the Linshui Pavilion, and after the arrangement is completed, he will meet with the county monarch!" ”

said to the end: "If there is nothing else to do, the lower official will leave." ”
