Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Zheng Jiu is basically dead, and has long since ceased to exist.

Gu Dezhao saw Qian Gui's drooping bitter face, as if he had seen through what he was thinking, and smiled proudly: "Whether Zheng Jiu is dead or not, only a few people know, and Guo Ye's little yamen servant is doing very well. , True or false, unpredictable."

Then he pointed to the direction outside the gate, and said with a sneer, "Do you care about Zheng Jiu's life or death? Can He Kun and the others believe it? You saw He Kun's attitude when drinking tonight. He really believed it. Ha ha."

Qian Gui also admired Guo Ye's beautiful bluff in his heart.

Not only did he deceive He Kun, Qin Wei and the others, but he also deceived the entire Longxi County up and down, tsk tsk, he is really good at such a young age, he must be someone in the future.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Dezhao stood up and told Qian Gui, "Go to the He Mansion in person tomorrow on behalf of the official, and make it clear to He Kun that if Zheng Jiu wants to never speak, just a word from the county captain is enough." It can be done, but 3000 taels of silver is too little, you ask him, is it worth 3000 taels of silver if the He family is full of lives?"

After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist, yawned, and sighed lazily: "I drank too much tonight, and I'm really sleepy. I'm going to stay in bed first."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, walking towards the inner hall.

After Qian Gui finished listening, he scratched his fingers and calculated how much money he would need to ask He Kun to be a good deal.

After all the calculations, I feel sorry for Guo Ye and others. It seems that Guo Xiaoge and others have to use a bamboo basket to fetch water this time, but they were used by the county captain. Alas, all the hard work was in vain.

However, Qian Changsui, who is very professional, is also muttering in his heart, after He Kun sends the money requested by the county captain, he must speak a few words for Guo Xiaoge and win him the position of the arresting squad. You can't always take Guo Xiaoge's money for nothing, can you?

……

……

Just as Gu Dezhao went back to his room to sleep and Qian Changsui was still counting fingers in the lobby, He Kun and the old man who had left Gu's mansion were not far away.

However, looking at the steps of the two of them, they are also vigorous and vigorous, and they are not at all the expression of drunkenness and dreaming just now.

It seems that these two, like Gu Dezhao, are pretending to be drunk!

The two walked in the dimly lit city, one in front and one behind, the old man in front, He Kun behind, only two steps apart.

The person who can make He Kun walk behind his buttocks should be of no small importance.

He Kun softly called to the old man who was walking in front of him: "Master Xiancheng, Su Wengu County Lieutenant Hailiang, why are you so drunk today?"

original,

The old man in front turned out to be the second head of the entire Longxi County, and the deputy of the county magistrate - Wu Kui, the prime minister of Bapin County.

No wonder there is such a big spectrum!

"Humph!"

I only heard Wu Kui, the county magistrate, snorting coldly, but I don't know if he was humming at He Kun, or at Gu Dezhao who was pretending to be drunk.

Then he stopped suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Gu Dezhao is pretending to be drunk, aren't we pretending to be drunk too? He Kun, if your second brother He Xun hadn't given me a letter to trust me in this matter, this old man would never have shared this mess water, do you know?"

He Kun stopped and nodded and said yes, he kept sighing in his heart, fortunately his second brother He Xun and Wu Kui were Juren in the same year, if there was no such relationship, it would be really difficult to enter the Gu family today.

Outsiders thought that Wu Kui had some conflict of interest with the He family, but it was not the case. What really pleased He Kun was his second brother, He Xun, and Wu Kui, who were not only married in the same year, but also close friends.

With this level of relationship, the He family can have wind and rain in Longxi City.

But today, County Wei Gu Dezhao didn't seem to sell Wu Kui's face very much, and he seemed very unmoved when he proposed 3000 taels of silver to himself. Could it be that he still wants to ask for more money?

Wu Kui squinted his mouse eyes, watched He Kun's brows change, and couldn't help snorting: "He Kun, don't talk about Gu Dezhao, a hungry wolf, for 3000 taels of silver. Then I will send someone to your house to make an offer. This time, you will have to spend a lot of money."

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Kui said this, He Kun immediately gasped, and murmured: "I knew it, I knew that once Gu Dezhao was in charge, the He family would definitely be skinned three times!"

Wu Kui looked at He Kun's distressed expression, and a scholar's disdain for merchants came out, and he asked coldly: "Money is more important, or your family's life is more important, you can decide what to do by yourself. As soon as this big case comes out, the massacre of [-] people in the village will have to be reported to the court’s Ministry of Criminal Justice, hum, let alone you, even your talented nephew and Juren’s second brother will not escape death.”

hiss……

This is what He Kun is most afraid of. If he loses the status of the second brother, no matter how much money the He family has, it will be a fart?

When Wu Kui mentioned his talented nephew, He Kun gritted his teeth with a ferocious face and said, "But that little bastard surnamed Guo hurt my nephew and humiliated my He family. Bad breath."

Hearing that He Kun asked him for such a trivial matter, Wu Kui shook his head contemptuously, and sighed: "It's just a small yamen servant, I'm so angry with you, well, I will let you know about the meritorious officer." Ma Yuanju took away his Zaoli errand."

Upon hearing this, He Kun's complexion gradually softened, and he whispered in Wu Kui's ear how much he respected him.

After Wu Kui heard this, his mouse eyes narrowed his eyes even more. It seems that although he is a scholar who despises merchants, he also loves money.

However, after Wu Kui sniggered happily, he regained the reserve that a scholar should have, and then warned He Kun: "Okay, you can send the money to my house secretly, but you, take care of that surname." Qin's headhunter, don't let him act recklessly and throw himself into a trap and run to Dongliu Township, trying to silence Zheng Jiu. If he is controlled instead, it will be bad. At that time, he will be caught on the spot and all Tell the matter, hand over the account books between you, and once it is out, hehe, even the gods can't save your life!"

As soon as Wu Kui mentioned Qin Wei, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

Then thinking that Qin Wei didn't seem to have much contact with him in the past two days, could it be that this idiot has made his own claim and contacted the Minjiang water bandit Zheng Sanjiang to go to Dongliu Township to murder Zheng Jiu?

When the time comes... everyone will get all the stolen goods... God! ! !

Suddenly, He Kun's legs gave way, and he fell to the ground, howling sadly: "Qin Wei, I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations, you are trying to kill all 37 members of my He family!"

Chapter 58 Here Comes Qin Wei

He Kun was vigilant in his heart, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, his legs suddenly limp on the ground, looking like a pile of mud.

Wu Kui, the county magistrate next to him, was taken aback by He Kun's sudden madness, and after hearing He Kun's wailing and howling, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "You, you, how could you? Why did you make such a big mistake? Why are you still in a daze, hurry up and find a way to remedy it!"

He Kun barely supported his body with his arms, stood up slowly and wobbled, and asked with a mournful face: "Qin Wei, a fool, must have thrown himself into a trap, how can he fix it?"

Speaking of this, He Kun's distracted eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed Wu Kui's sleeve, and cried out in tears: "Master Wu, Mr. County Prime Minister, you must have a way, a way to save my life , to save the lives of 37 people in He’s family, you always lend a helping hand and give our He family a hand.”

Wu Kui narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart, should he give He Kun some advice?

I have been sitting in the position of Longxi county magistrate for nearly ten years, and now that I am over fifty, I am afraid that there is no hope of promotion.What's more, I was born as a Juren, not a serious Jinshi. If I want to climb to the position of the first elder brother in the county and the seventh-rank county magistrate, it must be more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Since the creation of imperial examinations in the Sui Dynasty, if one wants to be in charge of the government, no matter whether it is the head of the state or county or the head of the county government, it must be a Jinshi, and again it must be a top-ranking Jinshi.

It's not easy for me, an old Juren who went to Beijing to rush for the exams and failed many times, to be able to get into Bapin County's prime minister.

If he really wanted to climb to the position of county magistrate, he would have to go to Beijing to take the exam no matter what, and the last time he won the top three and was born as a Jinshi.

But I am already old, and the knowledge in my stomach has long been pulled into the latrine with eating, drinking, and playing. If I pick up the Four Books and Five Classics again to take the Jinshi examination, I am afraid that I will turn into a cup of loess, and I will not be able to achieve this wish.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Kui thought, instead of doing this, it would be better to stay in this position of Bapin County Prime Minister for a few more years and earn a few more years of money.

And in the entire Longxi County, the only one who could satisfy his appetite and give him enough money was the He family.

That's all, Wu Kui shook his head lightly, it wouldn't do him any good if the He family fell, not to mention that he and He Xun, the second son of the He family, were indeed close friends, and he really couldn't bear to see the whole family of the He family being ransacked.

Wu Kui, an eighth-rank official in the Tang Dynasty, also understands the truth that he has the right not to be voided after the expiration date.

Immediately, Wu Kui approached He Kun and whispered a few words in He Kun's ear, and then pointed in the direction of County Weigu Dezhao's mansion.

Listening to Wu Kui whispering, He Kun's eyes became brighter, but the haze on his forehead also gathered more and more.
