Yuan Shu fell into silence, his fists clenched, and his brows filled with anger.
"Then tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
"Tolerate!"
Yuan Shao replied, looking at Yuan Yi's miserable state, and then added.
"Or, let the news about him beating people out and let the two old rotten scholars from Pingyu County deal with him."
"What kind of sparks will arise when the warriors from Xiliang meet the corrupt scholars from Pingyu County?"
Corrupt scholar?
Xu Shao and Xu Jing?
Those two guys who organized the monthly review?
Speaking of which, Yuan Benchu went to Pingyu County several times before, just to seek a comment.
The results of it?
But the other party didn't care about him at all!
On the contrary, after Yuan Benchu, there was a white-faced young man named Cao Mengde, who got a good comment.
"A capable minister in times of trouble, a traitor in troubled times!"
When he heard about this, his cousin was first shocked and angry, and then envious.
Although Cao Mengde's father, Cao Song, was also an official in the court.
But if we talk about the family's heritage, compared with the Yuan family, it is definitely weaker.
But even so, that person received two praises. In contrast, his cousin did not receive even a word of praise.
More importantly, this is Runan, the Yuan family is the owner of this place, and several elders in the family have a good relationship with Er Xu.
But even so, I never got a fair comment from those two people.
When it comes to the cause, it is not because of a lack of friendship, but because the two of them abide by the rules. It is precisely because of their friendship with the Yuan family that they deliberately kept a distance from Yuan Shao for the sake of clearing their names.
Therefore, Yuan Benchu unconsciously hated those two people.
Of course, if you only dare to hate in your heart, your good reputation on the surface always needs to be maintained.
Anyway, this general was ordered by the king to go to Pingyu County to learn etiquette, so let’s send him away first!
Yuan Shu is a smart man, but when Yuan Shao said these words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly thought of something.
A pair of eyes sparkled, and then he nodded and let Yuan Shao make arrangements.
Immediately, Yuan Shao turned around and left. When he returned to the city gate, he found that Xiao Wen had left.
After asking the soldiers guarding the city, I found out that one had bypassed Ruyang County and gone directly to Pingyu.
But when this news fell on Yuan Shao's ears, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be stunned.
This guy...
So rude!
…
"My lord, is it rude for me to do this?"
As the accompanying doctor, He Yi couldn't help but remind Xiao Wen.
After the Yuan Shao brothers entered the county town, Xiao Wen, who was waiting outside the city gate, spoke up and turned around with a large group of people and left without stopping at all.
Why didn't the gatekeeper try to stop him?
bar?
How many soldiers guarding the city stopped the opponent's thousand elite cavalry?
That is courting death!
A large group of people left in a big way without even saying a basic farewell.
It actually embodies the word "rude" to the extreme!
However, could it be that this impression was not created by Xiao Wen himself?
His eyes lifted up and fell on He Yi.
The expression between his brows was so calm that you had no way of guessing what he was thinking.
"What is etiquette? People treat me with etiquette, and I treat others with etiquette. A mere junior from the Yuan family is so proud. He turned around and walked into the city without saying a word. No one even asked me to wait."
"So, why should we treat each other with courtesy?"
Xiao Wen asked back, and He Yi fell into silence.
However, after a moment of silence, this person finally spoke up and said: "What my lord said is certainly reasonable, but those people are from the Yuan family!"
"So what if it is? So what if it's not? I am not even afraid of the emperor, how can I be afraid of a mere aristocratic family?"
"Sir, please don't say too much. Don't make me look down on you!"
Xiao Wen warned.
The moment these words came out of Xiao Wen's mouth, He Yi fell into silence, bowed his hands, turned around and left without saying a word.
But when he left, Xiao Wen saw the look of reverence on his face.
Ding! Congratulations to the player who has traveled half the world, is not afraid of aristocratic families, is not attached to powerful people, has been recognized by He Yi, and has increased his NPC loyalty. The current loyalty is 85/100.
A crisp prompt sounded in Xiao Wen's ears.
Hearing such a voice, the whole person's face couldn't help but show a little surprise.
This is……
Loyalty increased?
Increase by fifteen points?
In these days of love, surprises come unexpectedly!
This is a great way to increase loyalty!
I am very satisfied!
With this thought in his mind, Xiao Wen watched He Yi leave without saying a word.
Why can He Yi's loyalty be improved?
It's very simple, because this doctor also comes from a poor family, and he is also afraid, resentful, and a little respectful of wealthy families.
In the past, He Yi might have been a sharp-edged man.
But as time goes by, and as he mixes in society, the edges and corners of his body are gradually smoothed away, and what is left is only fear and respect for the aristocratic family.
As for that anger?
It was hidden in his heart.
Now, Xiao Wen's attitude made him feel happy.
He sent He Yi away and returned to the march to the rear. Then the army advanced and rushed to Pingyu County.
Departing from Ruyang County, they rushed to Pingyu. When Xiao Wen deliberately slowed down the march, the army arrived at Pingyu five days later.
When they arrived here, Pingyu County Magistrate Guo Yuan, County Magistrate Zhang Fan, and County Lieutenant Qian Qi had already been waiting at the city gate with the garrison soldiers.
When Xiao Wen arrived with a thousand fine cavalry, the three officials leading him hurriedly came up to greet them.
After all, the weight of General Fenwei, Xiao Wen, is much greater than that of petty officials like them.
In addition, this person was appointed by the emperor, so he did not dare to offend him in the slightest.
"Greetings to General Fenwei, I am under the command of Guo Yuan. He is the county magistrate here. I have been waiting for the general here for a long time under the orders of the Emperor." Guo Yuan cupped his hands and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen nodded and his eyes fell on Guo Yuan, but he didn't even bother to throw away his investigative skills.
As early as in Kyoto, Shen Que had already given the situation of Pingyu County to himself.
Although it is only a small county town, the forces here are deeply intertwined, and several aristocratic families are fighting here.
For example, the Guo Yuan County Magistrate was recommended and promoted by the Yuan family.
As for Zhang Fan and Qian Qi, they were promoted by the Yang family.
The Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong.
This is a big family in the world.
Under the background of the prevalence of the imperial examination system, children from poor families who want to serve as officials in the court must be filial and honest, and be recommended by great scholars from aristocratic families.
As a result, most of the officials in the entire imperial court were controlled by aristocratic families.
What is an official?
That's the ruling class!
Even if they are at the bottom, they are still the ruling class, the people's basic necessities!
The appointments of these people are all in the hands of aristocratic families.
