In the streets and alleys at the gate of Ganzhou City, Zhou Desheng, who had dressed up, met Lu Xin.
In order to report the news to his friend, Lu Xin did not leave the city directly, but stayed for a while.
Zhou Desheng has been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for a result.
Is this young master an official veteran, or a young man who can get carried away by his passion?
This is very important and will affect Zhou Desheng's subsequent response.
What Lu Xin said made Zhou Desheng extremely surprised.
"Hiss... I underestimated him."
Zhou Desheng said: "I thought that even if he dared to get angry, he would not dare to break the rules. At least he would not give Ganzhou less punishment."
Unexpectedly, this young master actually dared to break this conventional rule.
This will offend the entire Ganzhou officialdom.
"What if he is a young master and we are only in the third and fourth grades?" Lu Xin admired sincerely, "The young master has a very high profile and a lot of courage. Your Majesty relies on him very much. You must not offend him.
"
Zhou Desheng nodded repeatedly.
He smiled bitterly: "But if you don't offend him, you will offend the officials in Ganzhou. I will block both sides, brother!"
Lu Xin was also a little helpless: "Sometimes it's like this. You have to take a stand and see if it's worth it."
"What do you think?"
Zhou Desheng said seriously: "Brother Lu is in the Forbidden Army and should be very familiar with the layout of the capital. Is this young master really capable, or is he just the kind of lucky minister rumored outside?"
"Don't just tell me by hearsay, I can tell you that the young master is very capable, so you must be careful... He has already seen that you were pretending to be drunk, he just didn't tell you clearly." Lu Xin said seriously.
Hearing that he had been exposed, Zhou Desheng became embarrassed: "So, I have to make a choice."
"Let me tell you, based on my understanding of the young master, he will definitely not be able to bear this tone and will definitely return to Beijing with a memorial... By then, I am afraid that the pattern of Ganzhou will be greatly changed..."
Lu Xin said: "You have to seize the opportunity..."
After saying that, he walked out of the alley, led the people on their horses and left the city, heading towards Suzhou.
…
"What?"
Ganzhou Futai looked at Fang Jue and An Baili with somewhat ugly expressions.
"There is no need for Ganzhou camp and Ganzhou government escort?"
Lord Futai was puzzled: "Young Master, why is this?"
Ambry was warned, but he shrugged innocently.
Who knew that this young master didn't understand these rules?
If you are an official who has risen from the local level, you will understand these things, at least to a very basic level.
But people are building tall buildings from the ground up. They have never experienced the place and just start from the first level... isn't that tough?
"Why?"
Fang Jue said calmly: "I have thought about it carefully. Although the Beiliang army was defeated, there are still remnants. If Ganzhou sends a large number of troops, it will affect the city defense."
"City defense is not a problem!" Ganzhou Futai said quickly.
Fang Jue frowned: "You are a government official, not the commander of the Ganzhou camp, how do you know there is no problem?"
"Uh..." Ganzhou Futai was speechless, not daring to answer any more words.
Although civil servants and military officers did not have to cut off contact, they still had a tacit understanding of their differences.
A government official dares to talk about city defense. This is not his duty. Once he is considered to know too much about the details of the Ganzhou camp, he will be suspected of colluding or spying on military power.
All he needs is a bullet from the censor, and he will no longer be able to work in this position.
"Master Young Master, we are only sending one or two thousand men. It will not affect the city's defense." The deputy general of the Ganzhou Battalion said quickly after being glanced at by the government official.
Fang Jue waved his hand: "I'm not negotiating with you."
"Young Master..."
After saying that, Fang Jue led everyone away to count the food that was about to leave the city.
After he left, the palace desk and the deputy general looked at An Baili.
"What's going on?" Futai asked pretending to be angry.
An Baili said calmly: "Young Master told me not to allow our business to operate as usual, and he is not prepared to pay for it."
An Baili said nothing about what he reminded Fang Jue, and he was not stupid.
"Why was everything fine yesterday?" The deputy general was also puzzled.
An Baili said: "It was probably after yesterday that someone reminded him that this result occurred. I have tried to persuade him for a long time, but I can't change his mind."
"Young Master doesn't want to break up with you directly, so he asked me to send a message to explain..."
An Baili was talking nonsense and picked out the business name. It was better for the young master to carry out this kind of death-seeking thing.
"Everyone, this is not what I instigated, and the Young Master has no intention of taking care of the green forest heroes along the way... You two good men, think about it. I have to go with the Young Master to take stock, excuse me..."
Seeing An Baili leaving with his guards, the mansion, the deputy general and others all became a little angry.
"Who did this?" Several people lowered their voices, their nostrils steaming with anger.
The income of tens of thousands taels is gone at the drop of a hat. It’s a huge loss.
The deputy general looked at where Fang Jue, An Baili and others were going, and said angrily: "I have brought everyone here, how can I explain to my brothers?"
"Even if he is a young master, he can't ignore the rules of officialdom and ruin everyone's jobs, right?!"
Futai looked sideways and said, "What can you do?"
"As a young master, he is a close minister of the emperor. It is natural for him to be arrogant. Let's just pretend that there is no business this time. It is just one less profit. It is not worth irritating a young master." Someone sighed.
However, the deputy general felt that he could not hold back his face. He looked at the brothers of the Ganzhou Battalion gathered in the distance, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of embarrassment.
"Let's go." Master Futai gave the order and left with the grumbling clerks.
The deputy general walked up to the soldiers transferred from Ganzhou Camp and said: "Go back to camp!"
"Go back to camp?" All the soldiers were puzzled.
Some people also started to complain.
However, the hierarchy in the army was strict, and the soldiers only complained a few words but did not dare to disobey orders.
But at this moment, a black horse ran from a distance.
Immediately there was the drunken Zhou Desheng. The smell of alcohol had not dissipated from his body. His arrival made the deputy general stop bringing him back.
"Where is the young master?" Zhou Desheng dismounted and asked the deputy general.
The lieutenant reluctantly pointed in the direction of Andalun's granary.
"Come on, follow me to see the young master."
"What else can we see? They don't want our help anymore." The deputy general thought Zhou Desheng didn't know, so he said this.
Zhou Desheng frowned and said, "Did you say the wrong thing and offend him?"
"How could I have a chance to speak..." the deputy general laughed at himself, "People like us are not very important, so what's the use of talking."
"Okay, don't complain. I'll go see the young master first and tell the brothers that this job is in vain."
"What?" the deputy general was shocked.
After saying that, Zhou Desheng rode away without saying another word.
The deputy general looked at the soldiers and didn't know what to say for a moment.
But some of the soldiers below had already heard it, so they spread the word.
"What, Bai Gan?"
"Why, just because he is a young master?"
"There is no need for him to give money. The court will buy it. Why is he so noble?"
"This is a rule since ancient times. How can you want the horse to run and not give the horse grass to eat?"
"I finally accepted a job, but I didn't pay for travel expenses. How can this be justified?"
Seeing the anger among the people, the deputy general had no choice but to appease him, but he knew that even if General Zhou came, these veterans would not be so easy to coax.
On the other side, Zhou Desheng dismounted outside the warehouse and ran two steps before being stopped.
"I am Zhou Desheng, please see the young master!" Zhou Desheng shouted loudly.
"Young Master!"
Fang Jue was inside and heard the man's shouting, so he led people out.
"Let him come over."
Zhou Desheng was then released, trotted over quickly, bowed in front of Fang Jue and saluted: "General Zhou Desheng, the commander of the Ganzhou camp, has met the Young Master!"
Fang Jue smiled and looked at this person: "Aren't you drunk?"
"Well, I'm not drunk. I just smelled of alcohol and was worried about bumping into the young master..."
"Then what are you doing now?"
Zhou Desheng said sternly: "I heard that the young master is in need of someone to escort the supplies, so the general is naturally willing to help!"
"hehe……"
Fang Jue said: "General Zhou, I don't have the money to take care of things up and down."
"Young Master, what are you talking about? When we are running errands for the imperial court in Daxia, whoever dares to ask for bribes will be the first to be spared!" Zhou Desheng said righteously.
These words made Qin Mengchi, the only one present, couldn't help but pout.
