Nancang County

After passing through the county town on the sixth day, the continuous drizzle did not stop, and the sky was a little gray and gloomy, at this time, the prefect personally came out to greet him, Ye Qing hurriedly wanted to salute, and the prefect rushed to the front, held Ye Qing's hand, and smiled: "Don't dare to salute, or talk to the peers, come, I will catch the wind for you"

Ye Qing is not hypocritical, he is not an official in the system, and his official quality is only two grades, so he doesn't need to be polite, he just smiled: "Skip the feast, there are hundreds of people behind me."

"What's the matter, I'm afraid that I can't even afford to invite a few hundred people? Don't worry, I know that the official banquet is just an empty shelf and I can't get enough to eat, and this time we are using a private banquet."

As he spoke, he stepped into the car, and Ye Qing had to get in the car with a smile and follow.

When I rushed to the prefect's yamen, I saw that there were lights inside, and the rain became louder, turning into raindrops, and the cool world of a piece of water was not cold, and it was very refreshing.

The housekeeper would handle the meals of hundreds of people, but the prefect let Ye Qing into the west hall.

If it is a private banquet, there are not a few officials, and there is not much need for false stories, and it is not a meal in one place, it is a single table, only a few guests accompany it, and there are not many dishes on it, but it is very exquisite and tastes good, Ye Qing uses it casually, and he does feel comfortable, and smiles: "It is indeed comfortable."

The prefect ordered someone to withdraw from the table and let a few doormen go down, seeing these doormen bowing down and answering "yes", and leaving, he grabbed Ye Qing again: "It's rare for Bangyan Gong to come here, come and go with me."

"Since you should be ordered" Ye Qing is not easy to shirk, and he has thoughts, looking at this prefect, this person's national character face, he must have been very majestic when he was young, but now the wrinkles on his face are vertical and horizontal, and his hair is white.

This official is deep and majestic, and he cares very much about authority, and even a fellow acquaintance (adjutant) like Yu Chengen has suppressed it, which can be called a word

But the age is not forgiving, according to the imperial court system, he will soon retire, and many things are not easy to control, and the subordinate officials who are pressed hard are ready to move, and Yu Chengen is promoted to fight in the ring, which will cause Yu Fan to return to the climate later, and it is not easy to even suppress the governor.

After walking a few steps to the garden, facing a small bridge, Ye Qing talked about returning to his hometown to recuperate as usual, and talked about some state appointments and plans to encircle and suppress bandits.

After listening quietly, the prefect looked at the inky black clouds in the northern sky, and sighed with a wry smile: "I am already an old man, and I have to think about the descendants of my family in everything, even the things of the netherworld...... It's not as good as you young people. ”

Ye Qing's heart moved, thinking of the law of the earth, the older he gets, the more he is in awe of life and death, the pasture of heaven and earth, taking people as dogs, such a cage of life and death is not a joke, and the cruel facts from generation to generation teach mankind

Especially the high-level people, who know the wonderful taste of life, are more eager to continue.

In the environment of the earth, the more they go up, the more they cherish life, the officials of the past dynasties are afraid of death, the emperor dreams of immortality, and the further down, the more the opposite, the common people regard their lives as grass mustard, and the thugs are even more light and cheap.

And in this world, there is a real power beyond life and death, and there are a few who can ignore it, and now the prefect is afraid that he regrets it a little, and he offended a large number of people for his authority when he was energetic, and now he is about to retire and die, and he remembers what happened after his death.

If you offend so many people, I am afraid that you may not be able to keep the incense and sacrifices.

Thinking about this clearly, looking at the prefect in front of him, and understanding the essence of his heart, he eliminated the last little fear, and said: "Last year, my family was convicted, and now I am afraid that it will be even more peaceful. ”

Originally, the clan soldiers could be built, but some of them were not justified, and if there was an approval, it would be justified.

Hearing this, the prefect frowned a little: "Isn't this matter in the past?"

Ye Qing glanced at the dark and dreary night: "But someone is thinking about me, something happened, the government and the opposition were shaken, don't say it, my lord, you have something to do, right?"

The prefect was about to say, "How is it possible", but he glanced at the young man, endured it and reminded him tactfully: "Don't say that you have the support of the heavenly court, your family has expanded a lot recently...... The amount of force is not small. ”

"I don't know this kind of thing...... Ye Qing smiled: "Besides, once the Northern Wei Dynasty starts, Nancang County will take the brunt, who knows what will happen in the war in Ludao, it's better to prepare in advance."

In front of the dignified prefect of a county, Ye Qing made no secret of his distrust of the Yu family, let alone his hostility.

The prefect's face is a little dark, he has been fighting hard in the officialdom all his life, and he has never seen more than eight grades of knives and guns, all of them are bloody struggles, this is Ye Qing forcing him to make a statement.

If others dare to do this, he will directly throw his face, even if he is about to retire, the majesty of the dignified five grades must not be provoked.

It's just that this list is not like this, at the age of seventeen, he grew up to this point under layers of heavy pressure, who knows that today's Bapin Hanlin is editing, is he not the ruling of internal affairs, or is he an immortal real person?

Thinking like this, the anger in his heart was cut by half, but of course he would not compromise like this, and he was pondering, so he listened to Ye Qing's sudden expression: "Lord Prefect, Ming people don't say secret words, you are a dignified five-grade retirement, the court has its own grace, you have been rich and authoritative all your life, this longevity, wealth, Kangning, and all have it, what you are afraid of is the end of these five tests." I'm afraid that I have offended the Yu family and moved some relationships, so that the imperial court will deviate from your final examination, right?"

"But you have been in power for so many years, and you have already offended the Yu family, thinking about it at this time, I'm afraid it's not easy."

The prefect's face turned dark again, but he did not speak.

Ye Qing didn't have the heart to accompany this person for a long time, and said at the moment: "Now that the officials are holding Yu Chengen and you in the ring, as soon as you go, I am afraid that you will write to ask the court to appoint Yu Chengen as the prefect." ”

"Yu Chengen can't be stopped from serving as the prefect, but he can't serve in this Nancang County, the original court has the rule of not serving as an official in the same county, although it is a lot more relaxed now, but as long as you go to the book, it will definitely make it impossible to do so, and you don't want him to be an official and a government, and your years of hard work in Nancang County will be in vain."

"As for your worries, these are small things, and one letter of mine will make you have no worries. "This is the king of Yujun, don't dare to say anything else, the examination language of a retired prefect does not hinder anyone's interests, it is indeed a casual matter of the king of Yujun.

"To Shi plus one level, I will promise you"

"Zhishi plus a level, there is indeed this rule, but either there is a backstage, or there is political achievements, my lord, I'm afraid you are not qualified

"That's why I want to be on the spot."

Such shameless, Ye Qing sighed secretly in his heart, and asked directly: "What about my benefits?"

Don't tell me about the Yu family, it's not you who is fighting with the Yu family now, it's the prefect.

"In the event of a war, it is true that a township militia can be built for defense, and I can approve it for a hundred, but it must be withdrawn after the war. The prefect hesitated for a moment, and then said, a team of fifty people, now doubled.

It's not that he doesn't want to get more benefits, but he is afraid that Ye Qingchun will be rash, so he will directly come up and not be able to get off the stage, think about it carefully, this main purpose has also been achieved, so he said.

"Yes, I'll give you a higher level, but you give me the approval to train the next group, the establishment is one hundred, and it will be revoked after the war is over, you can point it out on the official document" Ye Qing saw it, so he waved his hand and said, anyway, this official doesn't know what to say, I'm afraid this war won't end in a short time.

Wait for the catastrophe to come, and this restriction will be gone.

The prefect thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "Yes, but you can't wear official uniforms, you can't wear military uniforms......"

Ye Qing smiled with satisfaction, and the prefect was a little angry, he knew what Ye Qing was doing for, this was to protect the spirits from being dumped in the grassland.

The Yu family also has some power in the grassland, which must be protected by soldiers.

But politically, this is taking some risks, and they dare to attack like this, fighting with the Yu family on the grassland, and what are you afraid of being "thieves"?

Can you find some good excuses?

The problem is that he knows the excuse, and he has to agree.

But after thinking about it, the Yu family made a fuss about trying to assassinate and destroy the door, this is under the rule of his county magistrate, Ye Qing is just a person who can ignore it, but Jinshi is a role model, enough to ask him for this bad breath.

But he is about to become a leader, even if the struggle between the Yu family and the Ye family escalates, it will not die, and the government and the opposition will be a sensation, this is also the matter of the next prefect.

"Even if in the long run, this Ye Qing has a thinner foundation, but the future is bigger than Yu Fan's, and it is more worthy of forming a good fate" The prefect weighed the pros and cons in a blink of an eye.

But interests are one thing, being given an "equivalent exchange" by this young man, his heart will be unhappy, and the prefect will not have the mind to take a walk: "That's it, I will arrange it for you tomorrow"

Ye Qing accepted it when he saw that it was good: "The next official will retire." ”

...... The next day, Ye Qing got up early and rushed to the barracks, Jiang Zinan and Zhou Ling led a continuous convoy to wait on the official road, and they waited for Ye Qing in a short time.

There are two teams of hundred-man cavalry behind this, one of whom is still an acquaintance - the captain of the patrol battalion who set up a guard and escorted him back to his hometown last time, and he didn't want to be promoted to captain now, and at this time, he didn't see the laughter of the past, and followed Ye Qing solemnly.

There is also a young man who has taken off his military uniform, which is very eye-catching in the army that is all military uniforms, but he was originally a cavalry commander, named Zhang Fangbiao, this person is short and thick, and his horizontal flesh is blooming, faintly red.

Ye Qing pointed his finger and said: "His name is Zhang Fangbiao, he has experienced a hundred battles, but he just offended people, and now he is disarmed and follows me." ”

Jiang Zinan was dumbfounded, this is an active-duty soldier, so he didn't say hello to the disarming?

Ye Qing smiled: "It's okay, I know it in my heart"

In the future, this person can only be regarded as not big or small in the whole state, but in the previous life, Ye Qing's great enemy was him, and he was breathless, but now that he can accept it, he is very happy, and let him and Wang Chen become superiors and subordinates again

The situation was immediately reported to the county government, and the staff was a little shocked, and the prefect paced for a while and waved his hand: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and if you want to go, let them go." ”

The staff was dumbfounded when they heard this, and almost suspected that the prefect was being impersonated: "But my lord, this court has a system......

"It's just a fire chief, the court law is still there, and the world is far from declining, are you still afraid of rebellion? ”

The staff was speechless when he heard this, and with such an obvious attitude, he saw that there was an inside story, so he didn't dare to say it again.

When I went out to the courtyard, the rain was falling and the steps were standing for a while, and the staff suddenly felt that the future was at a loss: "The main family is like this, and a staff member like me is also going to find a home......
