"Brother Hu, you must be careful all the way." In the Changting, a woman with a gentle personality and sweet appearance reluctantly reminded a man with a tiger's back and a dragon's waist.

"Yun Niang, don't worry, wait until I've finished delivering this trip of food and getting the salary, and then I'll raise some of it with my brothers to save enough brides to marry you. You must wait for me to come back." The man named Brother Hu reminded.

Yun Niang nodded and said, "Well, Brother Hu, I'm waiting for you, you want to return safely."

Three months later, when Brother Hu returned, he found that Yun Niang, who had been childhood sweethearts, had married the county magistrate and became his fourth concubine, and was heartbroken. It turned out that the local county magistrate took a fancy to Li Yunniang's beauty and married Yunniang with a dowry that the Li family could not refuse. Of course, the county magistrate was in power, and it could be said that his hands were covering the sky, and the Li family did not dare to go against his will. Although Yunniang disagreed, the marriage was the order of his parents. The matchmaker said that she was a weak woman, what's the use of resisting? In the end, she cried and got into the sedan chair.

Fortunately, Yun Niang was nostalgic and did not forget his brother Hu, and recommended her brother Hu to her husband. Brother Hu and Yun Niang are cousins ​​and are also considered their own people. The county magistrate also took care of Brother Hu frequently. Finally, Brother Hu first became a constable, and then slowly climbed to the position of the head of the county magistrate under the care of the county magistrate and became the right and left hand of the county magistrate. Although he had fewer people he loved, he had more wealth.

Yun Niang is the woman in front of her. Now Chen Li’s family, the county magistrate is Chen Gui, and Hu Ge is the captain Cao Hu. Cao Hu looked at the person he liked in front of him and couldn’t help but recall every bit of the past.

Unfortunately, the first love is the most unforgettable. This is why Cao Hu hesitated at the Chen family. He hated Chen Gui and stole his Yun Niang, but he had to thank Chen Gui again because he gave himself a wealth.

Hearing Yun Niang intentionally distanced her, Cao Hu felt sad. He didn't listen to Yun Niang calling her Mrs. Chen or Chen Li, but said softly: "Yun Niang, you have been hiding from me all these years, are you doing well now?"

"I'm so lucky to ask Captain Cao, the little girl is very good." Yun Niang knew that delaying would arouse suspicion from others, so she didn't dare to say anything anymore. She lowered her head and bowed and said, "The master is waiting for Captain Cao in the side hall. If you have something to discuss, I, a little girl, will step down first."

After saying that, he ran away without saying a word.

Seeing Yun Niang's figure disappearing at the corner, Cao Hu sighed, shook his head, and then he was so energetic that he walked towards the side hall.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not meet each other. Cao Hu also thought that he had forgotten his Yun Niang early in the morning because he buried her deeply in his heart. He thought of it by chance and forgot it quickly. Unexpectedly, when he saw the real person this time, he felt that he was also there. No wonder he had always missed her and had not gotten married yet. It turned out that Yun Niang had always occupied a very important position in his heart.

No, her position cannot be replaced.

"Brother Chen" Cao Hu saw Chen Gui in the side hall and immediately smiled and said, "Why are you so leisurely today to invite me to drink?"

Although the person in front of me stole the person he liked, Cao Hu still gave him the respect he deserved under the roof.

"It's okay, some days we haven't had a good drink. Today I heard that you are back, and it's just right, so I'm just treating you." Chen Gui said with a smile.

Cao Hu said a little flatteredly: "I dare not, I'm asking Brother Chen."

"Okay, the family doesn't speak the two families. In the public, you and I have worked together for many years, and love is like brothers. In private, you are Yun Niang's cousin and your own family. Don't divide these things. You are alone and don't even have a wife at home. It's better to come to me for convenience. Why are you polite?"

"That's right, that's right, it's disturbing Brother Chen."

Chen Gui smiled, and then pretended to accidentally turn the topic back to the matter of Xun Township: "It's cold outside and the road is slippery. I've been walking out for a few days. Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, I can resist it," Cao Hu said with a smile: "I was on duty in the county government office, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate asked me to accompany me. At first I thought it was a hard work, but I didn't expect that I would accompany the adults to inspect the countryside. Hehe, this way, she received a lot of filial piety. By the way, there are still many specialties. I will give Brother Chen some new things tomorrow."

"Oh, is that right? You're intent." Chen Gui sneered in his heart, but he still said calmly on his face.

It turns out that he was an unfamiliar ungrateful wolf. He clearly wanted to please the new County Magistrate Chen and asked him to steal the fat man. Now he was lying with his eyes open, saying that County Magistrate Lu asked him to accompany him. The man surnamed Lu was a chick. He had just taken office for less than two months and had been sick for more than a month. How could he know so many secrets? He obviously wanted to take two boats and treat himself like a fool. Fortunately, he put a secret move next to County Magistrate Lu. Otherwise, he would not know if he was sold.

By the way, Zi'er said that the man surnamed Lu also said that he has a future and is now the head of the captain and still wants to have a future. Could it be that he wants to replace himself?

It's really a rebellious one.

For a moment, Chen Gui felt that Zhou Dayuan's words were a little real.

"Where, where, if there were no Brother Chen, I, Cao Hu, would be a coolie." Cao Hu said with gratitude.

Of course, if it weren’t for robbing my Yun Niang, it would be no exaggeration to say that she was her reborn parents.

"Okay, the time is almost over, let's have a meal first." Chen Gui turned his head and ordered: "Serve the food."

Chen Gui, who has been through the officialdom for a long time, was very unhappy, but he was very cunning and did not reveal it easily. He only breathed out for a while, or a matter of thought, but gains and losses were long-term. Cao Hu had been the headmaster for many years and had trained three yamen runners to his own power. He was no longer the coolie of the day. If he was not careful, he would completely force him to the magistrate Lu. In addition, as his confidant, Cao Hu knew too much about the secret things he had done over the years. Once he was forced to do both, he would suffer a loss, and his foundation would be completely completed.

"Yes, lord." The housekeeper responded and immediately ordered the servants to serve the food.

After sitting in the captain's position for so long, Cao Hu had already practiced a pair of golden eyes. He felt a little strange in Chen Gui's attitude, but he did not dare to ask more. In the future, Chen Gui was a little dissatisfied with himself and the new county magistrate Xun Township.

If you are dissatisfied, you should be dissatisfied. Anyway, the advantage is truly in your own hands, and that is the most important thing.

"Brother Chen, where are the sister-in-law and her nephews?" Cao Hu couldn't help asking curiously when he saw that there were only two people in the meal.

"Ignore them. They are eating in the backyard. Today, we are the only two of us. Let's have a few drinks. Let's talk about it first. I will never return without getting drunk."

"Okay, I, Cao Hu, sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman, and I will be alone without getting drunk." Cao Hu said boldly.

During the meal, the two of them sang cups and drank until late at night, and then they parted. Although Chen Gui was very upset, he still sent someone to send Cao Hu back. The enthusiastic Chen Gui personally sent Cao Hu to the door to show that the two had a deep friendship.

No matter what, first stabilize the person, wait until you have a complete solution, and then clear away the problems in one fell swoop.

"Master, this Cao Hu is not honest, which means he has a strange intention. Why do we still treat him with courtesy?" Butler Chen said angrily: "This kind of ungrateful wolf should be thrown out."

As the old housekeeper of the Chen family for many years, and also Chen Gui's playmate since childhood, the book boy, followed him, and finally took the position of the housekeeper. However, Chen knows a lot of secrets, including the information sent by Chen Zi.

Chen Gui said lightly: "It's nothing to be angry about the gains and losses for a moment. Now he is full of strength and is too impatient to push him to the side of Lu's surname, that's not good."

"Yes, or is the master thinking attentively?" Butler Chen quickly complimented.

"Okay, go back, it's been a long time."

When the door of the Chen family closed with a "purge", the silence in front of the Chen house returned to silence, and only two lanterns swayed in the cold wind. After a long time, a person walked out of the shadow in the corner of the wall, glanced left and right, and then quickly disappeared in the darkness.

This black shadow is Liu Jinzhu. As a gangster, he is best at inquiries about news and squatting in the corner. He is secretly following Cao Hu under the orders of Lu Haoshan. Now he is in a hurry to go back and report the latest situation to Lu Haoshan.

.........

In the study, after hearing Liu Jinzhu's report, Lu Haoshan squinted his eyes and said, "Jinzhu, are you listening correctly?"

"Brother Shan, although I, Jinzhu, is a bit greedy for money, but there is nothing you have to do with diarrhea." Liu Jinzhu patted his chest and promised.

Lu Haoshan nodded, it was OK, the first step was very successful, and the pair of Chen Gui and Cao Hu finally opened a gap for himself, so that his next step would be much easier.

The power distribution of Jiangyou County Government is very clear. The chief clerk Zhang Yunhui is old and his ambition has been eliminated. He only wants to spend the holiday safely. Everything is open and closed. The power of Dianshi is too small and cannot be put on the table. Even Chen Gui is the only one who is the only one. After many years of management, the six-department officials are all his people. If Lu Haoshan wants to defeat Chen Gui, he must first win allies, and the best ally is undoubtedly Cao Hu. One is a martial artist and has little mind. Secondly, he has the power of the third squad. These are "guns". Only someone can do things easier. So Lu Haoshan is the first to take Cao Hu.

"Brother Shan" Liu Jinzhu lowered his voice and said, "Didn't we find out that Cao Hu and Chen Gui's third wife Chen Li are childhood sweethearts cousins? It turns out that they are still connected to each other now." Liu Jinzhu seemed to remember something and said quickly.

"Oh, there is still this?" Lu Haoshan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "How did you know?"

Liu Jinzhu smiled proudly and said in a low voice: "There are many trees planted around Chen Gui's house, and I quietly climbed up to see it."

After saying that, he told all the stories that Cao Hu and Yun Niang met and looked at each other. Liu Jinzhu became more and more excited as he spoke about this gossip, while Lu Haoshan's eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, his face was already filled with excitement.

With a "bang", Lu Haoshan slapped Liu Jinzhu on the shoulder and said happily: "Good boy, you have made great contributions."

"Brother Shan, really?"

Lu Haoshan smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, help me grind ink now. By the way, I'll help me get something later."

"Yes, Brother Shan." When Liu Jinzhu heard Lu Haoshan laughing like this, he knew that Brother Shan's stomach was going to squeeze out water again, and someone was going to be in trouble.
