Cyber Daming

Chengdu County, county government.

Raindrops hit the pond water, and a red carp raised its head and came out of the water, making ripples.

A hazy mist and rain, there is something poetic and picturesque about it.

In such weather, even the two stone lions standing proudly at the gate of the county government office looked a little lazy.

But the atmosphere in this hall was extremely solemn.

The people sitting on the six huanghuali wood armchairs had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery on the rainy night. They all lowered their eyebrows and closed their eyes in silence.

Only Pei Xingjian still looked as normal, sipping tea slowly and leisurely waiting for the final climax of this farce.

"In recent years, Confucian students have become increasingly frustrated. They let such an important decision slip out of their control, and the great opportunity to make the final decision was wasted."

The old man glanced at Wu Gong, who was restless, and shook his head slightly.

"No wonder he was thrown here by the Wu family to make money. He has a ruthless heart but no thunderous means. How can he win over others? If peace lasts for a long time, his descendants will be incompetent."

After commenting on Wu Gong, his eyes moved to the left and fell to the other side.

Gu Xi was watching her nose and heart at the moment. Although her arms resting on the armrests of the armchair were trembling slightly, her demeanor was much better than that of Wu Gong.

"Although this kid is a bit arrogant, his mind is pretty flexible. He is able to stay calm in the face of danger and drag a deadlock into a deadlock. His scheming is remarkable."

"It's rare to find such a nugget of gold in a manure trap like this in Chengdu County."

Gu Xi seemed to be aware of Pei Xingjian's eyes, and quickly paid attention with a humble smile.

The old man didn't make any response, just lowered his eyes and continued to blow his tea.

On the other hand, Zhang Xian next to him showed a playful smile.

Among the two candidates for the recommendation, Pei Xingjian was obviously more optimistic about Gu Xi.

For Zhang Xian, as long as Gu Xi can properly solve the current dilemma, he is willing to go along with the situation and let the other party win.

If I could still build some goodwill with Pei Xingjian, it would be worthwhile for me to go to Chengdu Mansion to host the recommendation.

In the world of temples and officialdom, the wind is high and the waves are rough.

A ray of goodwill at a critical moment may be the "good wind" that sends you straight to the sky, or it may be the life-saving straw that saves you from drowning.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xian took the initiative and nodded slightly towards Gu Xi, about to speak.

A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded!

A guard who was on guard outside the hospital almost stumbled in and shouted: "Sir, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

"What great person in Chengdu County can scare you like this?"

Pei Xingjian joked casually and knocked the teacup in his hand gently on the table, "Tell me slowly, who wants to see me?"

The guard swallowed hard and said, "They claim to be the Imperial Guards of Chengdu Prefecture!"

As soon as the guard finished speaking, the wind and rain outside suddenly rose.

The pouring rain rolled down, and among the rain curtain that was so dense that it almost blocked the view, several figures walked in holding black umbrellas.

These four uninvited guests did not break into the house directly, but stopped outside the eaves, standing silently in the heavy rain.

Everyone in the room raised their eyes and looked outside, even Zhang Xian was no exception.

They wore flat-knee robes, broad shoulders and thin waists, huge black umbrellas covering their faces, and the same jute straw sandals on their feet.

Hanging on the belt is a sign that looks like wood and copper, with the characters "Beizhen Fusi" clearly engraved on it!

Tiger arms, wasp waist, and mantis legs.

It was the famous Jin Yiwei of the Ming Empire in the past.

"What a rare guest."

Pei Xingjian looked at the few guards in front of him and said, "Since you have the guts to come to the door, don't stand outside and come in to talk."

"Thank you, Magistrate Pei."

The leading Jin Yiwei stepped onto the steps in front of the house first, swinging the black umbrella in his hand in the air. In the splashing rain, the sound of mechanical deformation continued.

The black fan instantly gathered together and turned into a scabbard.

The shiny silver umbrella ribs became flat and sharp, shaped like a long knife.

In the blink of an eye, a simple sheathed long knife appeared in his hand.

"The sea water is the pattern, the wild goose feathers are the body, the four beasts are dressed in unicorn clothes, and the sword is embroidered on the waist."

Pei Xingjian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold look appeared on his face, "You are dressed so neatly. It seems that you Jin Yiwei want to come to my Chengdu County government office today to show off your power?"

"I don't dare. We just received a tip that some officials are corrupt, accepting bribes, and practicing favoritism. We are here to investigate."

Feng Huang glanced over with frightened eyes, only to see the eyes of the Jinyi guards staring at him coldly like hawks.

He was an official who became an official during the reign of the late emperor, and naturally experienced the dark period under the rule of Si Lijian and Beizhen Fusi.

At this moment, Feng Huang felt an almost forgotten bone-chilling fear rising from the depths of his genes again.

"Look what I'm doing..."

Feng Huang hesitated and couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Zhang Xian gave him a disgusted look. He was an official in the second year of Jiaqi's reign, so he naturally couldn't understand why Feng Huang was so afraid.

In his opinion, these royal guards are just hyenas with their teeth pulled out, not even as vicious as domestic dogs.

"Where did you get the information? Have you verified the authenticity?"

Zhang Xian's tone was cold and he glared at the leading Jin Yiwei.

The other party was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a deep voice: "In reply to this gentleman, the name of the informant is Li Jun, and he is the Jinyi Guards School Lieutenant of Chengdu Prefecture."

boom!

Wu Gong stood up suddenly, and his movements were so big that he even knocked over the tea cup in his hand, and it shattered all over the floor with a "pop" sound.

At this moment, his face was full of uncontrollable ecstasy!

Unexpectedly, Li Jun's true identity is actually an informant of Jinyiwei. So isn't the person who sent this file to him also a member of Jinyiwei? !

In this case, is it still necessary to distinguish the authenticity of the evidence in my hand?

Gu Xi, you are dead this time!

Wu Gong glanced around and saw Gu Xi's face was as pale as paper at this time, with resentment between his brows.

"That's the look on your face. Yes, I want you to lose at the hands of my own people. You won't be willing to lose, but you can't do anything about it!"

Wu Gong, who was so complacent, didn't even notice that Yao Chongli beside him had a strange expression and was staring at him as if he were looking at a dead person.

He even quietly moved the chair a few steps away to create as much distance as possible.

"Hahahahaha"

A burst of old laughter suddenly sounded, echoing continuously in the Chengdu County Government Office.

There is no joy or arrogance in it, but full of self-deprecation and helplessness.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment, only to see Pei Xingjian laughing so hard that he burst into tears with a faint sparkle at the corners of his eyes.

"In just ten years, such idiots have appeared among Confucian families. It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Wu Gong.

Although Pei Xingjian did not name him, everyone knew that he was talking about Wu Gong.

"Am I stupid?!"

The joy on Wu Gong's face suddenly froze, and he froze in place for no apparent reason.
