Chapter 120

The fire in Ma's family subsided, and Liu Xiu's anger also subsided.

However, March has yet to rest. Back in the yard, March called Ma Liang to his study. Ma Qi looked at Ma Liang and said, "Ji Chang, tomorrow morning, I will go south with Liu Xiu. Are you ready?"

Ma Liang looked calm and said, "father, don't worry, son knows what to do. This time I'm going to you County, I'm sure I'll work hard and help Mr. Xiu get a foothold in you county. "

March zhengse way: "conscientious, scrupulous duty, is a minister to do. But people in officialdom, you have to pay attention to a lot, the most important is Liu Xiu's trust. You can't stand without his trust. Pang family, Huang family and Kuai family all support Liu Xiu clearly and think that Liu Xiu is bound to rise. The Ma family can't fall behind. It's an opportunity for the Ma family to enter Xiangyang. "

"Son, I understand!"

Ma Liang nodded, his heart was heavy.

Liu Xiu, he is also very optimistic, with Liu Xiu, he can also have the opportunity to make a career.

Ma Qi patted Ma Liang on the shoulder and said, "scholars have the shortcomings of being lofty and proud. You are also a scholar. After you follow Liu Xiu, you can't have such a bad temper. Do you understand? "

Ma Liang nodded and said, "father, don't worry."

March talked about a lot of things one by one. The two father and son talked in the evening by candlelight and went to have a rest each other very late.

……

The next morning, Liu Xiu and his party set out again.

In the team, Ma Liang and the 100 private soldiers presented by the Ma family were added. Ma Qi saw Liu Xiu and his party off in Yicheng County, but he didn't continue to see them off.

The team went out of Yicheng County, and the group continued down.

On August 26, Liu Xiu and his party arrived at Jiangling County, the seat of Nanjun county.

When they arrived, the prefect of Nanjun and the magistrate of Jiangling met them in person. On the 27th of August, Liu stayed in Jiangling County for a day.

It's much faster to go down the water than to drive on land.

In one day, Liu Xiu and his party entered the main road of the Yangtze River, then changed the waterway and continued to go south along the Xiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. On the afternoon of August 28, they arrived in Changsha County.

Linxiang county is the seat of Changsha County.

Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha County, was in Linxiang county. If Liu Xiu wants to go to you County for his post, he must first meet Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha County. Liu Xiu is the magistrate of you County, and Han Xuan is his immediate superior. Liu Xiu must worship the wharf. Otherwise, Han Xuan will feel uncomfortable and it will be very difficult for Liu Xiu to do many things.

The troops were stationed outside the city. Liu Xiu took Deng Zhan, Yue Shan and Qiu Bao to the city.

The carriage went straight to the sheriff's house and finally stopped outside the gate.

Deng Zhan took the lead in getting out of the carriage, went to the gate of the prefect's residence, handed over a salutation note, and said, "please let me know that Liu Xiu, the magistrate of you County, has come to see Han Tai Shou."

"You county magistrate, who? I don't know. "

The guard's Porter, holding his head high, took the post, but didn't turn around to pass.

Deng Zhan was also a human spirit. He understood it at once, took out a bunch of five baht money and handed it to the porter. This, the porter's face, smile, said: "you wait!"

Liu Xiu got out of the carriage and came to the gate to wait.

Deng Zhan said: "young master, if you take out the name of Zhou mu, this porter will not dare to be arrogant."

Liu Xiu laughed and said slowly, "it's just a little money. It's no big deal. It's not the same to meet in the name of county magistrate as father and son. This will not make Han Xuan feel that we are domineering. At least my posture is the officials under him. "

Deng Zhan nodded and stopped talking.

"Ha ha ha, my nephew has come to Changsha County. Why don't I inform you in advance so that I can welcome you in advance."

The hearty laughter came out first.

Before people arrive, the voice has arrived first.

Han Xuan, dressed in a gorgeous suit, strides out.

When Liu Xiu saw Han Xuan, his face showed respect. The title he handed in the salutation is the following identity. Now, Han Xuan is an elder. There is no doubt that Han Xuan does not intend to put on airs and intends to get close to Liu Xiu. The porter behind Han Xuan was uneasy.

I thought it was an ordinary magistrate this time, but I didn't expect a junior of the governor. This time, he hit the edge of the knife.

Liu Xiu took a look at the porter, then withdrew his eyes and said, "I'd like to see Mr. Yuan Xiu, younger Liu Xiu."

Han Xuan took Liu Xiu's hand and said, "come on, follow me into the mansion."

They entered the mansion and sat down in the hall.

Han Xuan said, "before that, I had received the news from Pang Gong that you were coming to you county. I thought to myself, when you come to Changsha County, the literati in Changsha County will surely be jubilant. "

Liu Xiulian said hastily, "Mr. yuanxiu has been praised falsely. It's just a false name. It's not worth mentioning."

Han Xuan said: "it's rare to stay in Linxiang county this time. This evening, I hosted a banquet in my house and invited scholars from Changsha county to celebrate together. What do you think of me? "Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "junior listen to the arrangements of Mr. Yuan Xiu."

Although Liu Xiu didn't want to participate in Han Xuan's arrangement, he couldn't get rid of Han Xuan's kindness. On the one hand, Han Xuan wanted to introduce the literati of Changsha county to him; on the other hand, it was also an opportunity for Liu Xiu to come to the fore.

If there was no such relationship as pound, Han Xuan would not have gone to great trouble.

Han Xuan saw that Liu Xiu agreed, and his face also showed a smile. Immediately, Han Xuan said, "my nephew is the governor of Changsha County and the magistrate of you county. What can I do for you county?"

Liu Xiu thought about it for a while and said, "I have a black eye on the situation in you county. Please teach me."

Han Xuan nodded, satisfied with Liu Xiu's attitude.

Han Xuan was worried that Liu Xiu was too strong. Now it seems that his worry is superfluous. He slowly explained: "You county borders Yuzhang county. You county is the barrier to the east of Changsha County. Therefore, the main forces of Changsha County are concentrated in you county. The leaders are Liu Pan and Huang Zhong. After you go, you must be careful not to conflict with Liu Pan. "

"Moreover, because you county is adjacent to Yuzhang County, there are many spies from Jiangdong. At the same time, they often take the opportunity to make trouble. You must be careful when you go to you county. "

"Recently, you county is suffering from famine."

Han Xuan said, "the situation in you county is quite complicated. The depression of the people led to years of war. But because of its geographical location, it must be guarded by the garrison. You must be careful. "

Liu Xiu's heart sank.

Unexpectedly, the situation in you county is so complicated. Liu Xiu's heart is also grateful to Han Xuan. With Han Xuan's reminder, Liu Xiu's heart also has a bottom. When he comes to you County, he will not be at a loss.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I will remember Mr. yuanxiu's reminder. Thank you very much."

Han Xuan waved his hand and said, "it's all small things. There's nothing to be grateful for. The main reason is that I have limited energy, and I have too much government affairs to manage the affairs of you county. After you go, how much trouble. "

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I understand!"

At this time, Liu Xiu understood that Han Xuan did not intend to interfere in the affairs of you County, so that he had enough space for development.
