Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Immediately, he said to Mu Gong: "Teacher, Guo Ye happens to have a murder case that has not been solved, that is, a gambler was killed in the city. Instead of dismissing him with trumped-up charges, it is better to arrest him with ineffective handling of the case." In this way, at least some people will be convinced, and the official voice of the county magistrate will not be polluted."

Mu Gong was astonished when he heard this, what, what happened?

Just now Ma Yuanju kept pleading for Guo Ye and angrily scolded Wu Kui, the county magistrate, for his audacity. It didn't take half a cup of tea to change the direction of the wind, and he took the initiative to find reasons for himself to dismiss Guo Ye.

But Mu Gong didn't ask in detail, it would be best if he could have a proper reason to dismiss Guo Ye, at least it wouldn't bring unnecessary gossip to the county magistrate.

Immediately nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Ma Yuanju said mysteriously: "Since the county magistrate agreed with Wu Kui, the county magistrate, to remove Guo Ye from the position of head arrester, then this reason looks good on everyone's face. However, the students want to be on the two sides of 'dismissal'." Make a fuss in the words."

Master Mu asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

Ma Yuanju dipped his hand in the tea soup dipped in the tea bowl, wrote two words on the table, and then smiled at Master Mu: "Men, look, the names are different, but the effect is the same, and the same one can't be used to catch heads. It also satisfies the requirements of the county magistrate and the county magistrate."

Master Mu carefully looked at the two words written with water stains on the table, glanced at his student in surprise, pointed at Ma Yuanju with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Yuanju, only you can come up with such a genius method, Well, I will help you as a teacher."

Ma Yuanju's expression tightened, and he cupped his fists respectfully to express his gratitude: "Thank you for my mentor, but that kid Guo Ye should accept his mentor's love even more."

Chapter 97 Ma Gongcao Visits

Now that this matter has been settled, at least a happy ending has been obtained.

Then Mu Gong and Ma Yuanju, master and apprentice, chatted with each other in a good mood for a while, almost waiting for the tea soup in the bowl to bottom out, and Mu Gong got up and left.

After Mu Gong left, Ma Yuanju looked at the two gradually drying handwriting on the table, and murmured: "Transfer!"

That's right, it's not dismissal, but transfer!

Although the difference is one word, it is a world of difference.

The meaning of dismissal is to get rid of the position of the head catcher, or to stay as an ordinary catcher, or to pack up and leave.

But transfers are different.

The same is to remove the position of arresting squad and arresting head, but the treatment is completely different, at least it doesn't sound so awkward.

As for where to be transferred, Ma Yuanju has already thought about it, and he can hand it over only after talking with Guo Ye tomorrow. At least from the perspective of the position, he feels that Guo Ye will not lose.

Master Mu did not object to Ma Yuanju's trick of stealing money, on the contrary, he admired it very much.

First, Guo Ye was transferred to the arrest squad, and he no longer continued to be the head arrester, which was enough to explain the errands to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate Wu Kui was not picky, because he did exactly what he asked Well, let Guo Ye get out of this head-hunting position, it can be regarded as blocking Wu Kui's coercive mouth.

Second, as his student Ma Yuanju said, Guo Ye should accept his favor even more. As the saying goes, the one who made you Guo Ye get out of the headhunter was Wu Kui, that bastard, and I Mu Gong turned a blind eye at the critical moment, and it would be hard for you, Guo Ye, not to be grateful to me.

As far as the above two points are concerned, Master Mu feels that this business is profitable no matter what.

……

……

Early the next morning, Ma Yuanju left home, but he did not go straight to the Yamen Dianmao, but instead went to the Guo Mansion in Fushun Lane.

It was Guo Ye's father, Guo Laohan, who opened the door. Guo Laohan stayed in the city for a while, and often Pang Feihu, the leader of the police team, and Guo Ye's colleagues in the yamen visited him, so Guo Laohan's horizons were also broadened. Not a lot.

Seeing Ma Yuanju wearing a green robe, Guo Laohan, who had been fascinated by it for a long time, immediately recognized that this was an official uniform that only high officials in the county government could wear.

At least officials of rank nine or above are qualified to wear this green robe official uniform.

Be good, Guo Laohan has been farming all his life, and the biggest official he has ever met is probably his son Guo Ye.

Immediately, Guo Laohan immediately opened the door, bowed and bowed again and again, nodding to beg for peace and said: "I have seen this official, I don't know, I don't know who you are looking for?"

Ma Yuanju looked at the cute manner of the old man, whose face shape and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Guo Ye, and wondered in his heart, could this be Guo Ye's father?

Then he asked cordially: "May I ask you, is this the residence of Catcher Guo? Could it be that you are Guo Ye's father, Mrs. Guo?"

Mrs. Guo?

Hearing Ma Yuanju call himself that, Guo Laohan suddenly felt relieved, "Your Majesty, what an honor it is for a ninth-rank official to call himself an old man?"

Guo Laohan's buttocks wobbled for a while, probably because of nervousness, his hands were tense and he didn't know where to put them, he nodded and said: "This is the Guo family, yes, Guo Ye's baby is my son, hey, my lord , please come inside, my lord."

Then he turned his head and shouted into the yard, "Baby, baby, hurry up and die, there are distinguished guests at home."

When Ma Yuanju heard Guo Laohan's nonsense yelling, he almost didn't laugh out loud, saying that what kind of father really is what kind of son.A rogue-like bastard like Guo Ye would be born to a father who is not four or six years old.

After a while, Guo Ye walked out leisurely, and before he had time to look at Ma Yuanju, he complained to his father Guo Laohan: "Father, didn't I say that I haven't seen any visitors for a while? Why did you let someone in again?" gone?"

"You bastard, don't you open your eyes and see who's coming?"

Seeing that Guo Ye was still looking lazily like a dead dog, Guo Laohan scolded Guo Ye as he ran forward in small steps.

Ma Yuanju who approached slowly said with a light smile: "What's the matter? Don't you even want to see me?"

"Yo!"

Guo Ye tilted his mouth and greeted Ma Yuanju, shouting again and again: "So it's Ma Gongcao, a rare guest, a rare guest, come, come, this way please."

He led Ma Yuanju to his backyard and found a lotus pond with a gazebo. Guo Ye asked Ma Yuanju to sit down.

Then he said to Guo Laohan: "Father, why don't you ask my little sister to cook us some good tea soup, Ma Gongcao, we can't be rude to others, can't we?"

But Guo Laohan seemed unwilling to leave, and walked around Ma Yuanju, seeing his green robe and official clothes, his eyes straightened, and he was envious for a while, and he almost reached out to touch a few.

Ma Yuanju was quite speechless, Guo Ye's father was really naive, no wonder he was called Guo Laohan.

Guo Ye saw that his father was impassive, and then he pretended to be serious and said: "My dear father, we are going to discuss official affairs of the court. It is inappropriate for you to say that you are present. Besides, we can talk These are all confidential things, if you hear about it, the county magistrate will blame you if it spreads."

With Guo Ye's coaxing, Guo Laohan immediately put away his salivating face, nodded his head very seriously, and murmured: "Yes, my baby is also an official now. If I don't make trouble for you, I will give it to you." Make tea yourself."

Before leaving, I still did not forget to invite Ma Yuanju warmly: "Master Gongcao, you can stay for lunch later, and I will go out to Zhang Butcher's house to weigh two catties of high-quality pig's trotters, and then I will gnaw hooves at my house." bladder."

"Ha ha……"

Ma Yuanju couldn't bear it anymore, he laughed wildly, Guo Ye's father is a wonderful person, and he is a bit interesting.

Guo Ye glared at his father angrily, and then Guo Laohan left angrily.

After the old man left, Guo Ye asked: "Ma Gongcao, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something urgent, tell me, I'm all ears."

Hearing Guo Ye's question, Ma Yuanju put away the pleasant smile just now, and a sad look appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Guo Ye thumped. Could it be that something really happened?

So he settled down and listened quietly to Ma Yuanju's next words.

Ma Yuanju sighed first, and then slowly told about Master Mu's visit to his home last night.
