In Peixian County, in front of a thatched house, a young man whose clothes turned white from washing was kneeling on the ground.
He took out the rusty old coin, raised it high above his head, and looked at the square inch of sky through the money hole.
Looking back, there seems to have been such a conversation.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely become a high official in the future. When the time comes, I will let you sleep in a mountain of gold and silver, and our county magistrate will have to beat dates for us!"
"well!"
"Mother, what I told you is true!"
"Hurry up and collect the money! This is a gift for you to enroll in and give it to your husband."
....
Putting away his thoughts, he looked around the thatched house and laughed at himself: "I have achieved great success, but now I am no more than a small official."
The young man held the water bowl and drew a bucket of water from the well that his mother had worked hard to dig when he was young. However, he found that it was extremely turbid.
Looking back, it seems that an old woman is working in a thatched house.
It seemed like she stopped moving, holding the bamboo pole in her arms, looking at herself with a smile, and said slightly tired but unable to hide the surprise: "Son, I'm back, mother will beat you jujubes to eat. "
The son wants to be raised,
But my dear is not here.
As a mother, it doesn't matter if you don't enjoy happiness, I just hope that your son will be safe.
Maybe... even though she was as prosperous as she said when she was a child, her mother just smiled and thought that she would be safe and sound year after year.
With tears in his eyes, the young man placed the water bowl beside the well and whispered softly: "Mother, my silly mother."
The unfilial son Xiao He is now just a servant of the chief official of Pei County, and he is unworthy of his mother.
....
In the Peixian government office, Long Wu and Wang Gang, who were given a banquet by the Peixian magistrate because they became Jin Yiwei, exchanged glasses with each other in the compliments of the guests.
"Are you two looking for Xiao He?"
"Today is the anniversary of his mother's death, so she is not at the county office. Can she be invited by someone?"
County Governor Xin Wei was slightly stunned and said.
Long Wu opened his mouth and was about to say 'go' when he found that his hand was pressed.
It was Wang Gang, who was older than him, who said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, I'm just waiting for Xiu Mu, the royal guard, to come back. I know that we have Xiao He in Peixian County, who is very talented in literature."
"This time in Xianyang, the CRRC government ordered Zhao Gao to rebel, and he was connected with the party, leaving many official positions vacant. Therefore, I brought this news back and thought Xiao He could give it a try."
After Wang Gang finished speaking, he glanced at Long Wu.
The latter understood immediately and quickly picked up a glass of wine to cover up.
My Liu Xiang said, if you mention it casually instead of specifically asking Xiao He to come over, they don't understand the meaning of it, so just follow it.
"Huh? Xiao He has no power and power. Who in Xianyang would recommend him?"
County Governor Xin Wei was slightly startled and asked with a frown.
In order to get the position of county magistrate, he gave up all his efforts and sold all his family property before knocking on the door of an official from a well-known family.
Isn't it a joke to ask Xiao He to go to Xianyang to seek an official position?
"Haha! The county magistrate doesn't know something! This time the court said it wanted to select low-level talents, and the method used to select officials is based entirely on strength."
"In case Xiao He is admitted, we people in Peixian County will have someone to take care of him in the court!"
Wang Gang laughed and winked at Xin Wei.
After saying this, Xin Wei, the governor of Peixian County, also understood and nodded repeatedly.
Since it is an examination to select officials, Xiao He can just give it a try. If he fails, he will have to spend his own travel expenses. If he succeeds, Xin Wei still has a personal relationship. Doesn't that mean his official career is prosperous?
"Okay, okay! I'll tell Xiao He when he comes back!"
Xin Wei raised his wine cup and smiled happily.
Although Jin Yiwei's rank and rank are not as good as his, they are all actually serving as ministers in front of Prime Minister Liu, so they need to be cured of!
...
The sky was getting dark, and Long Wu and Wang Gang, who had returned home in fine clothes, were so drunk that they even vomited during the dinner.
Of course, with this kind of behavior, no one thought they were rude, but praised them for their genuine temperament and good drinking capacity.
The so-called wine table etiquette is also based on status.
After rejecting Xin Wei's special invitation, Long Wu and Wang Gang supported each other and staggered towards their homes.
Xin Wei stood at the door of the government office and said goodbye with a smile. He waited until the shadows of the two of them were no longer visible before returning to the house.
After casually saying, "Let Xiao He go to Xianyang to take the exam tomorrow, if you have any good friends, you can also make a companion." After that, he fell asleep and didn't take it too seriously.
If he passed the test casually, do he really think that Xiao He is a relative of Liu Xiang?
In the night, Long Wu and Wang Gang, who were supporting each other, looked at each other.
His eyes that were originally hazy from drunkenness suddenly woke up, and his body no longer swayed.
"Brother Wang, who among us will do what Mr. Liu told us?"
Long Wu asked.
"We have to kill the third son of the old Liu family. Although he is only the chief of the pavilion, he is also an official of our Great Qin. He cannot escape the crime of murder."
Long Wu grabbed Wang Gang's hand and said, "Brother Wang, Prime Minister Liu said he would treat his family well. All he has to do is go to the border and endure hardships and remain anonymous for three years. It's better for one family to cry than for two families to cry. Let me go!"
For Liu Xiang, Long Wuwang Gang and both of them are grateful in their hearts!
It is precisely because of Liu Xiang that they can become Jin Yiwei, receive high salaries, and allow their families to live a stable life. This alone is enough for Long Wu to work hard for Liu Bai!
"Brother Wang, you still have a wife, children, and an old mother at home, and I'm not married yet!"
Long Wu said with firm eyes.
On the contrary, Wang Gang remained silent.
How could he not know his brother? These are all life and death robes that can kill the enemy back to back on the battlefield!
"Xiaolong, if you say that, I'm very happy!"
A smile appeared on Wang Gang's honest face, and he reached out and patted Long Wu's shoulder.
After saying these words, Long Wu was immediately happy and was about to say something.
Unexpectedly,
His neck hurt, and his eyes suddenly went dark.
The striking technique among the Jinyi Guards can cause people to fall into coma by hitting a special part of the neck. This was taught by that pervert Long Qie himself! He knocked out three hundred Jin Yiwei and said that he learned faster through personal experience!
"king..."
Long Wu could only say one word, and then he fainted.
"Xiaolong, the four brothers above you all died on the battlefield, and your mother still supports you at home. I'm afraid the old man won't be able to bear such a crime."
"My mother died in peace, and I have fulfilled my filial piety as a human being. I still have a younger brother at home, and Liu Xiang will treat my family well, so I should go!"
"Long Wu..."
Wang Gang gently placed Long Wu in a pile of thatch aside, covered it with thatch, patted Long Wu's chest, and said with a slight sadness in his eyes: "If we say goodbye today, it may be difficult to see each other again. Brothers... .FD!"
After that, Wang Gang stood up, looked at the bright moon above his head, with tears in his eyes, and grinned: "The Prime Minister wrote a lot of poems in Xianyang, but I didn't even write them down. I just heard the leader of the dragon grinning and threatening the prisoners in Zhao Prison."
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is filled with murder and arson."
"Today the moon is full, just killing people, not setting fires!"
...
That night, the Pei County government office was awakened by shouts.
Wang Gang, a royal guard from Xianyang, broke into the house drunk and stabbed Liu Laosan of the old Liu family with a knife. He fled in fear of crime and disappeared without a trace.
Grandpa Liu Xuan collapsed in tears at the gate of the government office. He cried and shouted for the county government to track down the real murderer and avenge his son Liu Ji!
