Xia shook his head: "It's better to be careful, wait for Bo Zhong to come back and ask him, after all, his son is an errand boy in the county government, he knows a lot and sees a lot." ”

"Fart!" Xia Song said unhappily: "When our Xia family was brilliant, it was not much worse than those famous families, and I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles are waiting to enter the gate of our Xia family every day.

After speaking, maybe it was to prove that he was well-informed, or he simply wanted to be a dead horse doctor, anyway, his old disease had been entangled with him for more than 20 years, so he poured out a pill and swallowed it directly into his mouth.

Xia Bozhong was busy all day, and it was not until the evening that he left the county office and walked home.

He is now what he used to be, from a small official, to a clerk from the ninth grade, but because he has not been officially approved by the Ministry of Officials, he has not been officially entered into the official canon, so he only has authority, but he does not have the blessing of holy power, and he does not have an official talisman in his hand.

Rao is like this, on this day, there is an endless stream of people who are afraid of his horses, but Xia Bozhong is not used to this set, so he is not pretending to be a color for these people, they are still cloth clothes and shoes, and they are still returning home alone.

"Dad, mother, I'm back. Although Xia Bozhong was tired, he was in a good mood, and he planned to tell the second elder the news of becoming an official, so that the second elder could be happy.

When I entered the yard, I saw my mother sitting in the yard with a strange expression, and behind the yard, my father was rummaging for something.

Xia Bozhong was stunned, his father was not in good health on weekdays, and he was out of breath and coughing when he moved a little, but just now he actually saw his father carry out a few rusty iron ingots and throw them on the ground.

What's going on?

Xia Bozhong immediately stepped forward, and when he saw his son coming back, the old couple also stepped forward, Xia Bozhong saw that his father seemed to be much better than yesterday, so he asked what was going on. The old couple didn't hide it, so they told today's strange things.

"The medicine left by the man is really effective, I took two pills today, I really feel a lot better, and I have energy, this careful thinking, I feel that the person has no malicious intentions, otherwise with this ability, it should not be difficult to clean up us. Xia Song said truthfully.

I haven't experienced his illness, I don't know that even if it is just to alleviate the symptoms, it is a great favor for the old man Xia Song, since he promised the other party, as long as he cures his old disease, he will help forge a few weapons, then he can't break his promise, the Xia family has been a promise since the ancestors, and the water that is spilled out of the words must be fulfilled.

Xia Bozhong listened in the clouds, and at this time, Xia Song and his wife glanced at each other, and then pulled their son to sit down, deciding to tell the glory of the Xia family before.

"Bo Zhong, our Xia family is in Liangzhou, although it is not a famous family, but it is also very famous, since ancient times, it has been known as the Xia craftsman, and the method of making instruments is a unique ...... in the world."

Xia Song slowly told the family history, and Xia Bozhong, who listened to it, was dumbfounded, obviously he didn't expect that their Xia family would have such a glorious past.

"Hey, as the so-called thing must be reversed, the Xia clan will eventually be unable to escape the doom, first some people in the clan are arrogant, provoke trouble, provoke the crime of killing the head, and then the demon clan invaded, most of the people in the clan died, since then, the Xia family has declined, your grandfather said when he was dying, the Xia family fell, a big reason is because the clan is arrogant and arrogant, so he left words, and he is no longer allowed to claim to be a craftsman of the Xia family, and the way of making weapons should not be passed down again, so these things have not been told to you. ”

After Xia Song finished speaking, he said: "Originally, I planned to bring this matter into the coffin, who would have thought that after so many years, there are still people who remember the Xia Clan's divine craftsman, and they actually came to the door, and even knew my illness, and brought the right elixir." ”

Xia Bozhong digested what his father said just now, thought about it, and said vigilantly: "What do those two people look like, are they locals?"

Xia Song shook his head: "It's definitely not from Dinghai County, if it is, it is impossible to be so faceless, and the accent is not right, but those two people are extraordinary, and they are not ordinary people at first glance, by the way, they left three days of medicine, and said that they would come back after three days." ”

Xia Bozhong nodded: "Dad, I know, no matter where those two people come from, they need to be investigated, and I will mobilize some people when the time comes, and as soon as the two come, control them first." ”

When Xia Song heard this, he frowned and said, "Bo Zhong, although you are an errand boy in the county government, you are just a small official, how can others listen to you." ”

At the mention of this, Xia Bozhong said excitedly: "Dad, mother, I am an official...... child"

In the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, no matter where it is, being an official is a big thing, as the so-called flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix, this is the case, the difference between being an errand and being an official, the difference between one word, is a world of difference.

This night is destined to be excited and sleepless for the Xia family, and when they learned that their son had stayed up for more than ten years, he finally came to the bitter end, and finally became an official, and the old couple was excited that they didn't sleep all night.

"Bo Zhong, why did Wu Degui suddenly open his mind and be willing to reuse you?" Xia Song asked, Xia Bozhong smiled: "Where is that Wu Degui, he looks at me unpleasantly, I can't get used to it, and when he reuses me, he can't wait, it's actually the new county Chengchu." ”

mentioned the new county lord, Xia Bozhong was face of admiration, and he unconsciously said more: "Dad, mother, you two haven't seen each other, the new county lord is really unusual, I don't know how much stronger than that Wu Degui, just said that yesterday's county yatang meeting, I grabbed the problem on the account at once, and took off the Cai clerk's hat, and then Wu Degui also wanted to promote his own cronies, who would have thought that Lord Chu actually talked about me at once, as if he was very familiar with me, and he was even more in charge, and promoted me to the clerk." ”

Xia Song nodded again and again, and taught his son: "Bo Zhong, you can't forget your roots, since that Lord Chu has the grace of knowing you, you must do a good job to repay Lord Chu, and it will not be in vain for others to cultivate you." ”

"Don't worry about this, I see that Master Chu is extremely ambitious, this person is by no means simple, and he will not tolerate officialdom scum like Wu Degui to continue to plague Dinghai County, look at it, it won't be long before this Dinghai County will change." After all, Xia Bozhong has been on an errand for more than ten years, and he has real talent and learning, and he has also seen some clues, but he is also worried, worried that Chu Xian, a strong dragon, will not be able to suppress Wu Degui, the head snake.

......

Three days passed quickly.

In the past three days, Chu Xian has disposed of all the things he has accumulated, and Wu Degui has also cooperated on the surface, at least he has not openly jumped out to speak against it.

But by handling official business this time, Chu Xian really showed his face in Dinghai County, which Wu Degui did not expect, he didn't expect that he, a person who has been in the official career for more than ten years, would actually have no way to take this new official who has only been in the office for a few months, and even had the upper hand.

However, Wu Degui is not simple, these days, he has been wiping his ass for the previous things, at least he can't be caught by Chu Xian, one of the two is the county chief official, and the other is an auxiliary official, they are affectionate on the surface, and they fight each other behind their backs, and they both want to put each other to death.

In three days, no one dared to underestimate Chu Xian anymore.

In the small courtyard of the Xia family, Xia Bozhong made a special trip back, with a few officials, he is a clerical officer, it is still easy to dispatch a few helpers, and the officials in the county government are not all people on Wu Degui's side, Xia Bozhong has been on an errand in the county government for more than ten years, even if his personality is not social, but he also has some connections, and there are also people who are unwilling, and Xia Bozhong has a good relationship, and when he saw that the other party became an official, he also leaned over.

Xia Song and his wife looked at their son's instructions, and they were a little apprehensive in their hearts, and wanted to persuade them, but they still didn't open their mouths, after all, their son is also in his thirties, and his judgment is there, this time, let his son call the shots.

As for the previous pill, Xia Song finished eating, and it was extremely effective, he didn't wheezing or coughing at night, his face was much better, and the amount of food was much more than before.

It is indeed effective, but as Xia Bozhong said, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, for the sake of insurance, it's better to control the other party first and ask them about their purpose.

"Xia Wenwen, don't worry, several of our brothers have practiced martial arts, although they have not reached the acquired realm, but to deal with ordinary martial artists, it is hand-to-hand, and we are ambushed in the courtyard for a while, as soon as people come in, they will do it directly, hold it down first. A strong official said with a smile at this time.

Xia Bozhong nodded and advised: "Then there are a few workers, but don't be ruthless, don't hurt people." ”

Several officials nodded, they are all big and coarse, although they are on an errand in the yamen, but they have no foundation, they have a good relationship with Xia Bozhong on weekdays, this time Xia Bozhong turned over and became an official, they plan to follow closely, maybe there will be a chance to turn over in the future.

After hiding, I waited for the two to come.

Obviously, the two were very punctual, and as soon as the appointed time came, there was a knock on the door.

This time, Xia Bozhong stepped forward to open the door, he wanted to see who could cure his father's old illness, and who wanted his father to go out of the mountain again.

The door opened.

Xia Bozhong was dumbfounded when he saw the people outside.

Chu Xian glanced at Xia Bozhong and said with a smile: "Xia Wenwen, you are also here, I just have something to do with you for a while, but now, I am looking for your father." ”

After speaking, he walked in, and Qi Chengxiang followed.

Xia Bozhong's mind was blank, he couldn't have imagined that the person he was waiting for was actually the county lord.

It wasn't until he saw Chu Xian walk in that he suddenly reacted, but the few ambushed officials moved faster, and immediately jumped out and prepared to move.

However, as soon as he took a step, several officials who were full of confidence before were also dumbfounded.

They may not know other people, but this new county lord, they can't not know it, that is the leader of Dinghai County, and these days, the county government is spreading the means of this adult, it is full of fear, at this moment to see the county lord, several officials are immediately soft legs and weak feet, actually kneeling down with a poof, frightened and afraid to speak.

At this time, Xia Bozhong finally stepped forward and saluted: "Xia Bozhong, Xiaguan, I have seen Lord County." ”

Lord Prefectural?

Xia Song and his wife were also stunned, this young man is the county lord?

At that moment, the two of them also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Chu Xian asked a few people to get up, and then said with a smile: "How does Old Man Xia feel in his body?

"Effective, effective, the root of my illness for more than 20 years has been much better in the past few days, Lord Chu, we really didn't know it was you before, we were sluggish, we were sluggish, hey, by the way, son, go and move the chair and let Lord Chu sit down." Xia Song said at this time.

Xia Bozhong hurriedly moved it, and Chu Xian shook his head to stop: "Don't be so troublesome, Qi Daochang, please close the door." ”

After speaking, Qi Chengxiang had already closed the courtyard door and guarded the door.

Chu Xian glanced at a few sweaty officials over there, knowing that these were Xia Bozhong's people, but he still said, "Since you are here, don't leave yet." ”

Several officials nodded hurriedly.

After that, Chu Xian said to Xia Song: "Old man Xia, can the things we discussed before be fulfilled?"

Where would Xia Song say no at this time, and nodded at the moment: "Lord Chu is kind to my Xia family, I didn't say it, as long as my old bones can still move, whatever Lord Chu wants, I will do my best." ”

Chu Xian smiled.

You must know the title of Xia's divine craftsman, it is not called in vain, the craftsmanship of the other party's craftsman is definitely superior, and what Chu Xian wants must be made by a master-level craftsman.

At that moment, Chu Xian and Xia Song went to the house and explained the specific things to be done, and it was only half an hour before Chu Xian came out, and then said to Xia Bozhong: "Xia Wenwen, your request to serve as a clerical officer has been approved by the above, and you can leave an official book for you in these two days, distribute official talismans, and in addition, you will sort out all the current household registration, taxes, land, and financial situation in Dinghai County, and dictate it to me in person in a while." ”

After speaking, Chu Xian left with Qi Chengxiang.

Xia Bozhong breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, it was really Chu Xian's momentum was too strong, although he was more than ten years older than the other party, he actually didn't pay attention to the other party's age at all, and when facing Chu Xian, only Shangguan was majestic.

Xia Song walked out of the room at this time and said: "Bo Zhong, I've been busy these days, Lord Chu is not an ordinary person, I can't imagine that he also has such deep knowledge and insights about making weapons, Wu Degui definitely can't fight Lord Chu, when it is time to make a decision, it must be done, and it is taboo to hesitate." ”

Xia Bozhong was stunned, he naturally knew what his father meant.

Father don't look like just an old man in the countryside, but there are still opinions, my father can see his hesitation in the past few days, according to Xia Bozhong's character, he just wants to do things well, and he is unwilling to participate in the factional battle, but obviously, he is a little wishful thinking, Wang Degui is the kind of person, he will never follow, let alone lean on, but Chu Xian is different, his father is admonishing himself to return to Lord Chu.

Xia Bozhong figured it out.

In the officialdom, how can you be alone? Like him in the past 10 years or so, he has been conscientious and conscientious in his work, but as a result? As long as Wu Degui does not look down on you, no matter how good you do, there is no way to be promoted. Factions, not all are bad, good people, good officials, if they are not united, how can they fight those corrupt officials and corrupt officials?

After thinking about it, the thoughts in Xia Bozhong's heart instantly became clear, he knew what to do, and immediately beckoned a few officials who were still stunned and chased them out.
