"Xu Baihu, thank you!"

Zuo Guangdou sincerely expressed his gratitude in person.

Xu Xingxia's sudden move solved a great trouble for him, and he was indeed grateful from the bottom of his heart. Obviously, he didn't know that Xu Xingxia was already a generation of thousands of households in Shuobao, Zuotunwei Town. After all, this is only a half-day thing, and it is estimated that there are many people who don't know. Even, there may be some people who will be skeptical even if they know. A non-hereditary thousand households under the age of twenty is so weird no matter how you look at it.

"Zuo Governor's Mansion, the governor of the three sides has ordered that Xu Baihu be promoted to the generation of thousands of households in Zhenshuo Fort. In the future, Xu Baihu will be Xu Qianhu. Such a young Qianhu, I'm afraid that the Zuo prefect hasn't seen it yet, right? Our Ningxia Town has not made any achievements in other aspects, but it is second to none in terms of boldly promoting young military attachés. Half a year ago, Xu Qianhu was still an ordinary nameless military household! Wu Haiming said with a smile.

On the surface, he was euphemistically reminding Zuo Guangdou that Xu Xingxia is now a thousand households, but in fact, the key point is in the second half, deliberately letting Zuo Guangdou notice Xu Xingxia's youth, Xu Xingxia's promotion beyond the ranks, and the time when Xu Xingxia changed from an ordinary military household to a thousand households. What does it mean to kill without seeing blood? That's it. A gentle sentence brought trouble to Xu Xingxia. No one can say how big this trouble is.

Wu Haiming knew very well that most civilian officials were disgusted with the rapid promotion of military attachés, and even more disgusted with the promotion of military attachés by skipping ranks, especially the successive promotions by skipping ranks in a short period of time. Xu Xingxia jumped from an ordinary military household to a thousand households in half a year, no matter how outstanding his military exploits were, he must not be liked by a civilian official like Zuo Guangdou. As long as he has a bad impression of Xu Xingxia, it is tantamount to creating a potential hidden danger for Xu Xingxia, which can cause a strong obstacle to Xu Xingxia at any time.

The civil service system of the Ming Dynasty has always been criticized, and the promotion of military attaches has almost no standards for hard surnames, and there are no effective assessment methods. Some people were still ordinary households or military households who were not literate before, but just because there were people above them, they were suddenly promoted to thousands of households, and even Wei Commanders, which gave people a very child's play. The military attache of the Ming Dynasty was so worthless, and it also had a lot to do with the large-scale promotion.

During the Jiajing period, there were less than five chief military officers and less than 15 deputy general officers in the country. However, in the late Wanli period, the number of chief military officers and deputy chief military officers increased greatly, not to mention the generals and guerrillas. The proliferation of military generals, and the ensuing consequence, is that official positions are worthless. The civil officials of the three grades are already a terrible existence. However, the military attache of Sanpin, almost no one cares about it.

"A thousand households?"

Zuo Guangdou was obviously a little stunned, and he stopped talking. There is no problem in promoting Xu Xingxia to represent thousands of households, and with his merits. He came to Ningxia City for a few months, and he already had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Ningxia Town. Xu Xingxia's exploits, he also paid attention to it. Over the years, Ningxia Town has not had any military exploits worth mentioning, Xu Xingxia's birth has continuously hit the Tartars, and Ningxia Town has been exceptionally promoted, which is understandable.

However, Xu Xingxia is too young after all. It is estimated that Xu Xingxia is not yet at the age of a weak crown. Twenty years of age is the minimum requirement for holding high office. A ten-year-old boy has been promoted to a generation of thousands of households, what do you think...... The speed of promotion of this military attache is indeed too much. If you are a civil official, before the age of twenty, it is impossible to achieve the fifth grade! It seems that the selection and promotion of this military attache is still not standardized enough! If Xu Xingxia turns 20 years old and then promoted to 1,000 households, maybe it will be better!

Faintly, Zuo Guangdou already had some doubts about Xu Xingxia's promotion. It's just that this decision was made by the governors of the three sides, and Zuo Guangdou can't say anything. He is only the prefect of the fourth rank, and the governor of the three sides is a civil official of the second rank, and he is the same as the cabinet scholar in terms of grade, and the difference between the two ranks is too far. The next step of the trilateral governor is very likely to be to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister and tilt his power towards the government and the opposition.

Of course, Zuo Guangdou is not afraid of the level of a second-grade civil official, he is already very bold, and when he just embarked on his official career, he had the courage to expose the behavior of selling officials in the ministry, and finally sent all the more than 60 officials to prison. If there is a serious problem with the promotion of the trilateral governor Huang Kezhang, he will also play impeachment and stop it. However, as far as he knows, Xu Xingxia's military exploits are indeed very great, and the situation in Ningxia Town is special, so it is reasonable to be promoted by such a leapfrog, and he has no reason for impeachment at all.

At this time, the servants of the prefect's yamen had already tied up the man in black. The man in black was temporarily unconscious due to excessive bleeding. If you don't get timely rescue, it is estimated that you will die on the spot. Of course, Zuo Guangdou didn't want the man in black to die like this, so he wouldn't be able to ask for a confession. He immediately said goodbye to Xu Xingxia and the others, and escorted the man in black away.

With Zuo Guangdou's departure, the originally chaotic scene gradually calmed down, and the crowd that was originally scattered in all directions gradually regathered at the door of Kwai Yuan Building. Just now, some people ran too fast and didn't see the whole thing, so they couldn't wait to ask the crowd around them. Those who were fortunate enough to witness the whole process of the incident naturally spit and painted it. It's not enough to just rely on your mouth, you have to dance with your hands. For a time, the entrance of Kwai Yuan Building was as noisy and lively as a vegetable market.

During this period, people kept pointing fingers at Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia's action of releasing the arrow just now, no one else could see it clearly. However, this does not prevent them from using their imagination to give the most reasonable explanation, and it does not prevent them from adding more or less exaggerated elements to their own interpretation. Each different narrator has a different explanation, which is also interesting. And the people who listened to the lecture did not have the slightest doubt, and nodded in admiration one after another.

Xu Xingxia ignored the gazes of others, patted his sleeve indifferently, and said to Wu Haiming: "Everyone, are you still eating?" ”

Wu Haiming reacted and hurriedly said, "Of course, please!" ”

After that, he led the way in front and brought Xu Xingxia to the inside of the Kwai Yuan Building.

Inside the Kwai Yuan Building, there are many messy scenes, and they have not all been cleaned up. The broken porcelain pieces and broken utensils were temporarily taken away. Scattered meals, but still on the ground. The poured wine flowed slowly down the gaps in the carpet. The air is filled with the rich aroma of wine. Xu Xingxia sniffed casually, and he smelled the aroma of wine. The town of Ningxia is rich in wine, and it is natural that Kwai Yuan Lou sells wine in large quantities.

The strange thing is that after being troubled just now, the Kwai Yuan Building is becoming more and more lively. As at the door, there were guests everywhere talking about what had just happened. It is estimated that everyone's favorite thing is such an after-dinner conversation with a strong stimulating surname. What is the origin of this man in black and why he is being chased again, are all topics of common interest to everyone. In a short period of time, there have been countless versions circulating.

"Old Demon Xu is here!"

"Shhh, it's the new Xu Qianhu!"

"Well, well, it's Xu Qianhu, Xu Qianhu!"

I don't know who it is, but I recognized Xu Xingxia's figure and came out to watch. In the whispers of the crowd, Old Demon Xu's name became louder and louder. These people in the Kwai Yuan Building actually didn't see Xu Xingxia make a move at all. However, it doesn't matter, they just need the result. As for the process, they will use their imagination to make up for it. This is also an important means for them to please the girls around them. If you still know a little bit of archery skills, it will be even better, and it will definitely make the girls around you listen to it fascinated.

Those Qinglou girls who sat on the stage in Kwai Yuan Lou were all bright-eyed, staring at Xu Xingxia's back without shying away from it, and watching him unscrupulously. The Qinglou girls of the Ming Dynasty are all serious and can be on an equal footing with ordinary people. They are also quite mixed in the circle of literati, so not many people are ashamed of this. If you have a little bit of grace and talent, it is very likely that you will catch a golden beetle son-in-law and get rid of your nationality. Otherwise, there would be no Qin Huai Bayan, who became famous later.

A young man like Xu Xingxia, who is not old and has a low status, is a standard potential candidate! In the words of later generations, he is the best potential stock. Some of the girls in Qinglou who were active couldn't help but start beating his idea. They don't want to be able to do the main room or the side room or anything in the future, as long as they can have a dewy marriage with him and get some benefits from his hands, they will be satisfied.

The boss of Kwai Yuan Building, when he heard the news of Xu Xingxia's arrival, also hurriedly greeted him, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "Welcome Xu Qianhu to come, if you miss the distance, if you miss the distance, please forgive me!" Please forgive your sins! ”

The owner of Kwai Yuan Building is called Liu Zhiqiang, the word Delong. He was actually quite young, probably not yet thirty, but he was chubby, and when he laughed, his eyes narrowed so that he could barely see it. His appearance looks absolutely harmless to humans and animals, with a smile on his face, and he is very honest, as if anyone can bully him. However, if you really bully him, you will probably not be able to eat and walk around. Idiots know that if you can be the boss of Kwai Yuan Lou, you must have a background. This Liu Zhiqiang doesn't know which one he is backing on, in short, he must be a ruthless character.

"Boss Liu, you're polite, you're polite." Xu Xingxia said with a gentle smile.
