Chapter 37 Wei is just a horse herder (please collect and read)

"I said just now that all the talented people are allowed to refuse this matter. Now that Master Fu wants to withdraw, I will not break my promise..." After a moment of sullen expression on his face, Magistrate He suddenly smiled and did not punish Fu Zhizhou's following offenders. Said this sentence.

All the martial arts masters in the hall were surprised when they heard this and were in an uproar.

They didn’t expect that Zhifu He would be so easy to talk to. If they had known that, they would have stood up together with Wei Tu and others and refused outright.

Except for a few martial arts masters who were driven by the desire for profit, the remaining martial arts masters agreed to go to Wuyun Tower not because they were willing, but because they were forced by the power of Magistrate He and were worried that if they refused, they would offend the chief of the first government in front of them.

"but-"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

All the martial arts masters were silent and looked towards the direction of where Zhifu He was sitting.

At this time, Zhifu He who spoke out picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and stood up.

He was dressed as a Confucian scholar and looked like a scribe. Standing among a group of martial artists, he looked extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

But Zhifu He didn't have the slightest stage fright. He looked around at the martial artists around him with cold eyes. The martial artist who met his gaze suddenly felt cold in his heart. He lowered his head and bent his body, not daring to raise his head and look directly.

This is official authority.

One word.

An action.

It can make the atmosphere in the hall instantly fall into depression and tension.

At this moment, everyone in the hall remained silent, and they seemed to hear their own heavy breathing...

Finally, He Zhifu's eyes slipped from the martial arts master's hair bun in the hall, passed from Fu Zhizhou's face, and came to the faces of Wei Tu, Wei Fei, and Kou Liang.

All pressure on the field.

at this moment.

They all leaned towards the three people of Wei Tu.

The martial artists who were holding their breath took a breath and felt relieved.

“But... Fu Zhizhou is different from the three of you. His uncle is the commander-in-chief of the Xiang Army in Xiaoyi Prefecture, a seventh-rank official..."

"Even if he gives up this opportunity for promotion today, he will still be cultivated by his uncle tomorrow. What about the three of you?"

Surprisingly, the words spoken by Zhifu He were very gentle, like a gentle teacher teaching his disobedient students.

He did not have a single word of criticism against Wei Tu and the others. Some only have sincere words when explaining the truth.

However.

When these words fell into the ears of the martial arts masters, they sent a chill to the bones.

These words confirmed the suspicions of the martial arts masters. If you refuse this task, you may be suppressed and targeted by Prefect He.

The implication of Zhifu He is—

Fu Zhizhou can refuse.

That's because Fu Zhizhou has the blessing of his uncle, a seventh-grade military attache. Even if he is suppressed, he can only work hard for two or three years before he can be promoted.

And what about the three Wei Tu people?

After being suppressed, they may not be promoted to official positions for the rest of their lives and die at the bottom.

"this…"

Hearing this, Fu Zhizhou's throat rolled and he wanted to speak out urgently to advise Wei Tu and others not to be bewitched by Magistrate He.

But under the gaze of Governor He, he had to swallow these words, swallowed them in his stomach, and kept silent.

Outside.

Zhifu He was telling the truth. The reason why he dared to stand up and refuse bluntly was inseparable from the fact that he had an uncle who was a seventh-grade military attaché.

—With background, you have the ability to be "willful".

“A martial artist is a martial artist after all. After just a few words... he gave in.” After waiting for a moment and seeing that Wei Tu and the others had not responded, He Zhifu smiled contemptuously and thought to himself.

“Behind me, there is no Fu family or Fu Zhizhou’s uncle, a seventh-rank military officer..."

“But Kou is clumsy... I may have missed the prefect’s plan, so please forgive me, the prefect.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the living room at an inappropriate time and spoke from Kou Liang, who was standing next to Fu Zhizhou.

In an instant.

The atmosphere in the hall once again fell into deathly silence.

No one dares to speak loudly.      Even—breathing loudly.

However.

Waiting for everyone to react.

After half a breath, Wei Tu, who was in the same row as Fu Zhizhou and Kou Liang, also spoke.

Compared to Kou Liang, Wei Tu was much more polite. He bowed his hand to Magistrate He and said, "Wei has a low status. Before he participated in the martial arts competition, he was just a horse herder and was despised by others. Now...he is at the bottom of the class. Military attaché, I think...it's much better than my original life..."

Having known each other for less than half a day, he still didn't feel brotherly towards Fu Zhizhou and others, but he knew that he was trying his best to avoid this "disaster"...even if he was targeted by Magistrate He, he would not hesitate.

Suffered again…

Can it be compared to the day when he was redeemed?

soon.

Finished following Wei Tu’s words.

Wei Fei also gritted his teeth and spoke, but unlike Wei Tu and the others, he only said "Me too."

But this sentence has already shown his attitude. The number of words is not important.

After listening to what the three people said.

He Zhifu already knew what Wei Tu and the other four wanted, so he did not force him to dissuade him. After secretly writing down the names of Wei Tu and others, he turned his eyes to the other martial arts masters and said, "What you are worried about... is nothing. Is this mission a secret?"

"You are here at the invitation of me. You are all martial artists with a clean background and a bright future... I don't expect any of you to leak the secrets here easily. As for the maids and servants in the house, they are all my confidants. , can’t talk..."

The voice fell.

The martial artist who wanted to follow the example of Wei Tu and the four others and contradict Magistrate He immediately began to waver in his heart and stopped, not daring to take the "second step".

Zhifu He also had some reasons. The martial arts masters present were not ordinary people, so how could they easily leak the secret?

As for the maids and servants, as the confidants of the long-term companion He Zhifu, their confidentiality is more trustworthy than that of other martial arts masters.

Wei Tu and others did not know the little thoughts of these martial artists. After they looked at each other, they cupped their hands and said goodbye to Magistrate He.

Under the eyes of all the martial artists.

The four of them walked out of the living room together and left the government office of Qingfeng Mansion.

…

“This time, it’s so dangerous…”

“I was almost persuaded by Magistrate Na He, and I didn’t dare to mention rejection anymore…”

Outside the government office, Kou Liang patted his chest, took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile.

“Brother Kou, thank you very much.” Fu Zhizhou patted Kou Liang on the shoulder with a grateful look on his face.

Just now, if Kou Liang retreats and fails to say those words in time, Fu Zhizhou will be "in ruins."

“There’s also Brother Wei, Brother Wei!”

"Kindness without saying thanks."

Then, Fu Zhizhou turned around and looked at Wei Tu and Wei Fei behind him. He laughed a few times, and his big rough hands immediately grasped their palms tightly.

He and Kou Liang still have a friendship from the same hometown.

  Dan and Wei Tu and Wei Fei only had a one-sided relationship.

This time, Wei Tu and Wei Fei were able to accompany him, the "gongzi brother", on the adventure - although a large part of the reason was for themselves, there was also a kindness to him.

“When we were in the government office, we said that when we leave the government office and we become brothers, we will help each other if anyone is in trouble!”

"Why does the magistrate suppress our brothers? He can only suppress us for a year at most. Once he is gone, brothers, I will use my connections to help you."

Fu Zhizhou patted his chest and said boldly.

“Let’s go to Xuanhe Building to have a drink first.”

“At dawn, the results of the Taoist examination will be released. Let’s see what tricks the prefect can use...”

Kou Liang smiled and said.

With this common experience, even though the four of them have met for the first time, they undoubtedly have more trust than other acquaintances.

“The Taoist Examination is a grand ceremony for promoting talents in Shannan Dao. How can a prefect use his strength? Martial arts exams are not literary exams. You can tell who is victorious and weak at a glance.”

When Fu Zhizhou heard what Kou Liang said, he immediately laughed a few times and expressed his disdain for He Zhifu's strength.
