Chapter 153 Gong Shi

"Here we come, here we come..." On both sides of the Leishui River, a large number of scholars and people from Ling County had been waiting for a long time. They saw Liu Jing's fleet from a distance and shouted loudly.They waited for a long time, and finally Liu Jing came.

"Tingjun is so powerful." The person who spoke was Gong Fu, the youngest of the Gong family. Nuqiang is a complete battleship, and on the water of Ling County, it is almost impossible to find an opponent.

Then he looked puzzled and said: "It is rumored that Tingjun is 'cultivating customers' and 'saving neighbors with quality books'. If we infer from this, Tingjun should have an average family background, not to mention the cost of construction, just to support such a family. A fleet of that size comes at a premium.”

Gong Wu smiled disdainfully, and said: "Tingjun was born in the Liu family of Longqiu, and his family has been officials for generations. How could it be possible that his family background is average? It's just..." Gong Ying feared that he would speak sternly, and cast a stern look again. Wu had no choice but to swallow the words "to gain fame and fame" alive.

When the ship arrived at Leishuijindu, the first to land were nearly a hundred people wearing green scarves and robes. Although they were not in military uniform, they held sabers and had strict discipline. They looked like healthy soldiers who had received strict military training. , It is by no means comparable to the servants and guests.

Afterwards came dozens of gallant knights on horseback with sabers in their hands, which made the people of Ling County who were watching couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

This kind of big northern horse is very rare in Ling County, and the Nanzhong pony is more common, but the two are completely incomparable, they are simply worlds apart.

The Gong brothers looked at each other and thought at the same time: "Liu Jing is not a good person."

Their brothers are also considered "senators of several dynasties" in the county. They have served successively as county magistrates. Those from a wealthy family brought more than a dozen slaves and maids, while those from a poor family brought only one child servant. Like Liu Jing, he brought hundreds of servants at once. Not only have they never seen the trilogy, but they have never heard of it.Such an elite troop armed with a mixture of infantry and cavalry is enough to control the entire city of Ling County.

But the surprise is the surprise, the Gong brothers are not too worried. The Gong family has lived in Ling County for generations and is a common surname in the county. The five brothers are either in charge of the military and political power in the county temple, or dominate one side in the village, especially those who serve as meritorious officials. Gong Ying, who has always been popular, is "convinced by Han barbarians".

Liu Jing's most correct choice is to cooperate with Gong Shi, and only if he is crazy will he be in trouble with Gong Shi.At this point, let alone a mere hundred or so people, even if there were ten times more people, they might not be able to win the Gong family.

Liu Jing didn't know that he was being underestimated. He landed under the guards of Sergeant, Yu Zheng, Liu Liang, Liu Zhu, Wang Qiang and others.

He put on a formal suit today, wearing a black lacquered gauze Jinxian crown, a plain silk jacket with soap margin, a black official robe with cloud patterns, ocher trousers and leather shoes, with a straight back and lightning-like eyes.

He strode all the way to the officials of Ling County, and the officials of Ling County immediately lowered their eyebrows to show humility, even the Gong brothers were no exception.

More than a hundred officials from Lingxian county were in uniform, and bowed loudly: "The officials pay homage to the Ming court."

Liu Jing glanced briefly at the officials present, nodded, then pointed to the serious one who was a step behind, and said, "This is Yan Bomu, the county magistrate."

After hearing the words, the officials of Ling county came to visit solemnly again.

Seriously, he nodded slightly, with a solemn expression, as if Liu Jing was the only one who followed suit.

As mentioned before, although the county magistrate and the county magistrate are superiors and subordinates, they are not in a subordinate relationship, but the seriousness is different. He was single-handedly promoted by Liu Jing, so it cannot be regarded with common sense.

Liu Jing said to several county officials standing in front: "You might as well introduce yourself."

"Cao Gongying, the next official, whose style name is Zhongjun." Gong Ying did her part to be the first to speak.

"It turns out that this is Gong Zhongjun. When I was in the county, I often heard the name of this." Liu Jing said kindly, but looked at Gong Ying with deep meaning. In fact, the county meritorious Cao is the chief official of a county. , has been able to enter the sight of the county government.

Normally, a person like Gong Ying who is famous and won the hearts of the barbarians should have been snatched by Zhang Xian to the county government long ago. As far as Liu Jing knows, the problem is that the Gong family seems to have hooked up with the former Changsha prefect Su Dai It is very deep, so it is not used by Zhang Xian.

"The next official is Gu Mao, whose name is Boyu..." Gu Mao is an elder over fifty years old, and Gu's family name is also a common surname in Ling County, so he can occupy an important position in the court.

Liu Jing frowned lightly. This kind of old official is the best at being soft-hearted.

"The servant..."

"The servant..."

"Gong Fu, the official who guards Tianjin, is called Shuji."

"The subordinate soldiers are Cao Cao and Gong Wu, with the word Ji Meng."

"Huh?" Liu Jing only knew the name of Gong Ying in Ling County. When he heard the names of Gong Fu and Gong Wu, he immediately guessed that they and Gong Ying were brothers in all likelihood. brother?"

The three Gong brothers said: "Jun Liu is right, we are brothers."

"Zhong Jun, Shu Ji, Ji Meng... In other words, you have an elder brother."

"My elder brother's name is Fei, and his courtesy name is Bosheng. He is currently serving as a coward in Zhongshui Township. There is another younger brother, named Ge, and his courtesy name is Youxian. He is currently serving as the head of the pavilion in Zhuxiang." Gong Ying replied calmly.The five Gong brothers are county magistrates, everyone in Ling County knows it, there is nothing to hide.

"The Gong family has five officials? In charge of internal and external?" Liu Jing couldn't help but look at each other solemnly, quite surprised in his heart.

Liu Jing said indifferently: "I was floating on the water before, and I was very bored. I occasionally read "Han Shu" and "He Wu Biography", and I saw in the book that it said: "The five brothers Wu are all county officials. I'm afraid." I can't help but feel the prosperity of the He family in Shu County, seeing you five Gong brothers as county magistrates, it's not too much of a deal."

Gong Ying couldn't hear the true attitude in Liu Jing's words, so he could only reply modestly: "The Ming court has praised too much. The Gong family is only well-known in the county, and my brothers and I are all ordinary people. Wu brothers are on par."

Gong Wu stood aside with a dissatisfied face. He had never heard of this person named He Wu who had the same name as him, and he was not expected to be a big shot.

Liu Jing laughed and said: "You don't need to be humble, you may have to rely on your brothers more in the future."

Gong Ying took a deep look at Liu Jing. To be honest, Liu Jing has a high reputation and talent, but he is still just a young man who has not yet reached the top of the list.

Gong Ying thought that the reason why Zhang Xian used him so much was because he regarded him as a man who could be cultivated and wanted to focus on cultivating him, so he somewhat despised him in his heart.

Now he finds out that Liu Jing looks cheerful, but in fact the city is extremely deep. If he treats him as a young man again, he will definitely suffer a big loss in the future.

　I recommend a book "Zhiwei", which tells the story of the Northern Dynasties. It is serious and very good.
