"Well, it's not impossible. If you get this position, it will be natural to recruit troops. Well, yes, yes, this way you won't be thought of as having evil intentions."
"Anyway, I'm going to decide on this Hanzhong Captain. As for how to get it, Uncle Laotian will help me plan it."
"You little naughty boy, you have already made up your mind, but you still want to bother me, an old man. I have to plan carefully. I have to have all the Hanzhong soldiers and bandits under my control..."
"Then I'll bother Uncle Lao Tian. I'm going to see if the family members have settled down. Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and Cui Niubi can just give them orders directly. In addition, I also brought two brothers from the Zhou family this time, Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zhi
Rong, please arrange some errands for them and see if it works."
"You will be happy, but it's better to get a big fat boy out as soon as possible, so as to calm people's hearts. By the way, did you find Diao Chan later?"
Zhou Yuanfu hesitated for a moment, and even if he didn't say it, Cui Niubi, a big talker, would probably have leaked it, so he said after careful consideration: "I found it, but when I got married to Mrs. Du, she made a big fuss, so according to Tai
Grandma wanted to drive her away."
Tian Feng didn't take it seriously after hearing this, "Then I won't mention this person from now on. After all, she is just a singer. I will find another one for you in the future."
Zhou Yuanfu reached out and patted Tian Feng on the shoulder, "Stop it, stop it, I just married my first wife, and you are thinking about giving me a side wife. I don't know how angry Mrs. Du will be if she finds out."
"What are you afraid of me knowing?"
Mrs. Du Shi Shiran walked into the room.
Tian Feng and Zhou Yuanfu, look at me and I feel very embarrassed.
"Hey, why are you here? Come and see Tian, Lord County."
Zhou Yuanfu wanted to say Uncle Tian, but when he realized that his identity was just a subordinate of the county magistrate, he quickly changed his mind.
Mrs. Du rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuanfu, then quickly saluted Tian Feng, "This young lady first arrived here. She walked around and saw no one around, but she broke into the county magistrate's back house. Please don't be surprised by the magistrate."
Tian Feng looked at Mrs. Du up and down like she was looking at her daughter-in-law, and nodded secretly, "Young lady, don't be polite. Since you are Yuanfu's wife, there is no need to be polite. This is also my fault. I was very happy after seeing Yuanfu.
If I forget the time, I’m afraid I’ll keep you waiting for a long time.”
When Mrs. Du heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment, just like a little daughter-in-law who was out looking for her husband.
But Zhou Yuanfu cursed in his heart, aren't you very overbearing, how can you be honest after meeting this Tian Feng? In ancient times, this woman rarely appeared in public, and those who dared to directly break into the county magistrate's back house like Mrs. Du were extremely rare.
, and there are even fewer people who can talk to the county magistrate openly.
When Miss Du arrived, the two of them naturally couldn't talk freely.
Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "It's been hard for Yuan Fu to come all the way. Let's go and rest first."
Zhou Yuanfu also pretended to salute, "Then I will take my leave." He winked at Tian Feng.
Mrs. Du also bowed and followed Zhou Yuanfu out.
"Why is our yard connected to the backyard of the county government office? I made a fool of myself just now. You bought this house? Why is the county magistrate's back house deserted? Doesn't he have a wife? He can't even see a maid? Yes.
Oh, why are you so close to the county magistrate? When I first came in, I saw you patting him on the shoulder."
Mrs. Du was extremely excited when she saw Tian Feng. He was a living county magistrate. Moreover, she even talked to him, and he didn't blame her. She was excited just thinking about it.
"Really? I guess it's because I saw dust on the shoulders of the county magistrate, so you happened to be dusting off the dust."
Zhou Yuanfu could only say perfunctorily that there were many people in the county government and it seemed that he would really have to pay attention in the future.
Mrs. Du opened her eyes wide with confusion, trying to judge the authenticity of Zhou Yuanfu's words, and then a series of question marks popped up.
"Has the county magistrate made you an official? Seeing that the county magistrate values you so much, he has made you a high official?"
Zhou Yuanfu pretended to be helpless and said: "He is the county magistrate. He can give me as many official posts as possible. I just help him run errands and work hard."
After saying that, he pretended to be tired and hit his waist.
But Miss Du admitted the truth, "Oh, it turns out it's just words but not real words. But the county magistrate is really in a dilemma. It's hard to reuse you just because of your face that looks like the bottom of a scapegoat. Look at the comparison between officials."
A majestic one, nothing like you."
Zhou Yuanfu was also used to Mrs. Du's temper. In short, he responded with an attitude of "You are right, but I won't listen."
"Have you asked the county magistrate for me? Has he ever known my cousin? Is my cousin the senior official or is he the senior official?"
When talking about this matter, Zhou Yuanfu also became serious, but on the surface he still pretended to be casual and said: "What is your cousin's name? Du Ji?"
"What, what are you talking about? My cousin's name is Du Ji, which means Ji from the capital of Gyeonggi Province. Doesn't it sound good? Our hometown is in Jingzhaoyin, which is around Luoyang, so my grandfather named my cousin this name.
Name. I guess you are a rustic and don’t know a lot of Chinese characters, so it’s normal that you don’t recognize her.”
Mrs. Du never misses any opportunity to suppress Zhou Yuanfu.
"It turns out that your cousin is really called Du Ji. That's amazing. You can be considered a son of a high-ranking official and a cousin of a wealthy family!"
Of course, Mrs. Du didn't know what a descendant of a high official meant, but seeing Zhou Yuanfu talking nonsense, she also knew that what Zhou Yuanfu said must be mocking her, so she rolled her eyes at him.
"Do you know where my cousin is? If you can help me find my cousin as soon as possible, and my cousin can help me come up with good ideas, you can also get rid of me early. It just so happens that you are also anxious to be honest with your sister Diao Chan.
Together."
"You are really anxious to help us. Your cousin Du Ji is now the county magistrate. His official position is more senior than the county magistrate. Isn't that okay?"
Mrs. Du was immediately delighted when she heard that her cousin's official position was greater than that of the county magistrate. Then when she heard Zhou Yuanfu said, "No," she suddenly thought about it again, "You are so annoying. You like to tell the truth and keep half of what you say."
"But, your cousin is being surrounded by thieves. You won't be able to see him for a while."
Zhou Yuanfu saw that Mrs. Du was really caring about her cousin, so he didn't hide it.
Mrs. Du was so frightened that she turned pale, "What should I do? Can you save him? They all say you are very powerful. Can you save my cousin?"
Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself that now you are saying that I am powerful again, instead of saying that I am the scapegoat.
"This is not easy to handle. There are many thieves, and we are outnumbered. I'm afraid I will have a narrow escape if I go."
"If it's hard to handle, can it be done if it's hard to handle? Please, you're lucky and everything will be fine. If you save my cousin, how about I let him make you a high official?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Du was even more panicked. As she spoke, she grabbed Zhou Yuanfu's arm and shook it like a little girl.
Zhou Yuanfu was shaken until he almost fell apart. From time to time, a soft ball would rub against his arm. Zhou Yuanfu was simply enjoying the shaking. Little Madam Du gradually realized that something was wrong. Seeing that Zhou Yuanfu actually closed his eyes and enjoyed it, she He hurriedly retracted his hands.
"You idiot! Bah, if you don't save me, I'll save it myself." As she said this, Mrs. Du blushed and ran away.
Only then did Zhou Yuanfu open his eyes, "I didn't say I wouldn't save you. I was thinking of countermeasures with my eyes closed. Why did you run away? This girl is still impatient."
…
Du Ji was very anxious. The bandits had been besieging the city for several days, but reinforcements were nowhere in sight.
"Lord Jun Cheng, Lord Jun Cheng."
Chen Tiao's voice sounded outside, and Du Ji immediately stood up and looked around after hearing the words.
"Are there reinforcements?"
Du Ji asked immediately when he saw Chen Tiao coming in.
"The person who heard the report reported back that the governor received an urgent document. He just said that the cost of sending soldiers to the expedition was extravagant. It is impossible to send troops without five million yuan. This clearly requires money."
Du Ji also sneered when he heard this, "I heard that the newly appointed governor Que has always been greedy. He even bought the position of governor. It's true that seeing it is worse than hearing it a hundred times. If this Hanzhong has made mistakes, I don't think he will be the governor. Sit tight!"
Chen Tiao calmed down and said: "Master Jun Cheng, don't be anxious, reinforcements will arrive soon!"
