Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After drinking more than a dozen sips, the tea soup in the bowl was almost bottomed out. He Xun suddenly remembered something, his face suddenly became ugly, his throat trembled, and a sudden nausea rose from his stomach, rushing straight to his throat, and he was about to blurt out squirting...

"Ouch, vomit..."

He Xun had already ran out of the study room, leaning on the railing of the fence with one hand and vomiting hard.

Chapter 96 Outrageous and Unreasonable Demands

It was about one more day before Wu Kui walked out of the backyard of the county government office, walked out of the county government gate with a rather happy face, got on his own sedan chair and headed back to his mansion.

Even the janitor at the gate of the county government can tell that our county magistrate is in a good mood.

Just as Wu Kui left the county government, Master Mu walked out from the screen in the backyard living room with his heels, looked at the magistrate Gu Weiyong with a smile on his face, and joked: "Lord Mingfu, look at the strength of our county magistrate Wu!" It's really narrow, to compete with a little head catcher with no rank or title, hehe, it's really funny."

Gu Weiyong also had a look of disdain, shook his head and said, "Shame, shame!"

After teasing Wu Kui, Master Mu restrained his smile, and reminded solemnly: "Mingfu, the county government has spread the rumor that this little head catcher surnamed Guo is yours, and now Wu County Prime Minister is trying his best to ask you to dismiss this little head catcher, haha , the three flavors in it are self-evident."

The implication of Mr. Mu's words is that Wu Kui is going to the county magistrate Gu, challenging the county magistrate's majesty and bottom line.

Gu Weiyong seemed unmoved, still cherishing words like gold and nodded: "I, I understand!"

"Since that's the case, why did you agree to his outrageous and unreasonable request just now?"

Now it's Master Mu's turn to be confused. Since County Magistrate Gu knows that Wu Kui clearly intends to dismiss Guo Ye's arrest, he secretly intends to provoke the county magistrate to slap him in the face. This move is obvious. , Then why Gu Weiyong didn't even refute a word just now, but why did he readily agree?

Let Wu Kui succeed in this little trick, didn't he weaken his momentum?

Gu Weiyong suddenly walked over to the desk, touched the jade lion on the desk that was usually used as a paperweight, and said, "Wu Kui, it's a dog, tame, tame a dog. What's important is to eat a full meal and eat a dog when you're hungry." , get hungry, you know."

what?

Master Mu was so startled that he rounded his mouth. Although Gu Weiyong stuttered, he probably understood the meaning.

Following Gu Weiyong for so long, this is the first time he heard Gu Weiyong speak so vulgarly, which shows how dissatisfied he is with Wu Kui.

In his opinion, this may be Gu Weiyong's way to control his political opponents.

In other words, Wu Kui, the county magistrate who often contradicted Gu Weiyong, Gu Weiyong didn't regard him as an upright person at all, but as a little wolf dog who can be controlled but not very obedient.

However, the metaphor of the county magistrate is appropriate. Isn't that the way to train dogs?

First starve it for a few meals to force out its ferocity, and then let it eat a full meal to satisfy it a little and make it grateful to itself.

Tsk tsk, Mr. Mu, an old scholar who has lived for decades, can't help admiring himself, this Dong Weng. This is the means and cruelty that a superior should have.

But this little catcher was introduced by his favorite protégé Ma Yuanju, and this kid has just sharpened his blade, which is the time when the sword is best used, plus this kid has a clever mind and a sweet mouth, so he was just like that It's a pity to catch the head.

Thinking of this, Master Mu couldn't help being moved to love talent.

Immediately bowed to Gu Weiyong and asked: "Mingfu, this little head catcher has just solved a case and rescued nearly a hundred abducted girls. He is in the limelight and famous. At this time, he is dismissed rashly, isn't it? Will it damage the official reputation of the Master of the Ming Palace? Besides, this little catcher has been well-behaved since he took office, and he has made great achievements many times, and there is no suitable reason to dismiss him?"

The implication of the words is that not only should Guo Ye not be dismissed, but he should also be rewarded. Otherwise, how can people be convinced that he would be dismissed without any charges?

huh~~

Gu Weiyong suddenly stood up and his face sank, an aura that a superior person should have suddenly appeared, without anger and prestige, so that the temperature in the whole room did not feel a sudden drop, as if it was three feet frozen.

I saw Gu Weiyong put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door of the study by himself, and said coldly: "I shouldn't be worried about this kind of thing, right? Mu, Master Mu, you handle things, Ben, I don't worry."

After the voice fell, Gu Weiyong had gone away.

Master Mu looked bitterly at the direction where Gu Weiyong disappeared, and said in his heart, you can rest assured that I will do things, but how should this matter be fixed?

Immediately, he thought of his student Ma Yuanju, and he had to ask him what he meant when he saw this. After all, a head catcher was dismissed. Just take a breath.

Looking up at the sky outside the study, it was already the end of the watch, Ma Yuanju should leave the yamen and go home.

Immediately, Master Mu shouted to the outside: "Come here, prepare a sedan chair for my master, and go to Ma Gongcao's house."

With an order, several handymen have already started to gather.

After a while, four handymen carried a plain sedan chair out of the gate of the county government office, and walked tremblingly towards Ma Yuanju's house.

……

……

Master Mu, who came to Ma Yuanju's home, told about the unreasonable demands made by Wu Kui, the county magistrate, when he visited Gu County Magistrate, and finally told Ma Yuanju about Gu County Magistrate's decision without any concealment.

This time Ma Yuanju was caught off guard.

Ma Yuanju shouted in surprise: "How is this possible? Teacher, this is outrageous. Why should Guo Ye be dismissed for no reason and compromise based on the contest between Wu County Magistrate and Gu County Magistrate?"

"boom!"

He slapped his palm heavily on the table and scolded angrily: "Wu Kui is in vain to be the magistrate of Bapin County, and in vain to be a scholar. Duan is so shameless and shameless!"

"Shh!"

Mu Gong hissed first, motioned Ma Yuanju to keep his voice down, and then reprimanded softly: "How long have you been in the yamen? Why are you still so reckless? Don't you know that this is the status quo of the officialdom? An eighth-rank county magistrate What is more important in the eyes of the county magistrate, a little head catcher with no grades or grades?"

Ma Yuanju was panting heavily, and he had long since lost the calmness and calmness of talking and laughing in front of Guo Ye. He could not speak a word for a long time after listening to Master Mu's words.

How did Master Mu say that he didn't understand?But this is also the dirty place where he is most disgusted with the sensual world.

In his eyes, Guo Ye, although ignorant and chaotic, is definitely a young man capable of doing things, and he does things with a clear conscience.This kind of young people should be reused more, how can they still get dismissed?

And the reason for the dismissal turned out to be—unreasonable!

Ma Yuanju frowned and asked, "Master, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?"

Mu Gong could tell that his student definitely valued that little head catcher very, very highly.

However, the reality is so, so what?

Then he shook his head and sighed: "How can the county magistrate's decision be changed?"

Suddenly, Ma Yuanju asked nonchalantly: "Master, is the magistrate's intention to beat him to the end and never use him again? Or is he not allowed to do this headhunting?"

Master Mu asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?"

Ma Yuanju didn't explain to Mu Gong, and asked again: "The county magistrate said that you have the full power to handle this matter, right?"

This Mu Gong can definitely nod to Ma Yuan in agreement, Gu Weiyong would not care about such trivial matters.

Immediately nodded to express the default.

Ma Yuanju saw it, and said in his heart, Guo Ye, there is only so much I can help you.
