Chapter 251
He failed!

Since the incident with Cui Yunxiang, Zheng Ruyi has never seen Jiang Chengxiao again, no matter what reason he came to.

Everyone is smart, and the thing Zheng Shanyuan didn't want to see happened.

Jiang Chengxiao didn't believe Zheng Ruyi anymore.

In Jiang Chengxiao's heart, perhaps he had already decided that Zheng Ruyi valued the family more.

In the words of a child, I won't play with you anymore.

Think about it too, any smart person would not keep a half-hearted person by his side.

Therefore, Zheng Shanyuan transferred Zheng Ruxin from the clan.

"What do you think?" Zheng Shanyuan asked.

The study fell silent, and Zheng Renli looked at his son worriedly.

Although this son is a concubine, he is still his own son after all, and the next choice will be related to his life.

At this moment, Zheng Ruxin thought of a lot.

There are his tiredness of farming in the clan, and his tiredness of working in the county office. There is also envy for his son-in-law.

A man should make a great career in the world!

He had no choice before, but now he has an opportunity in front of him.

"I would like to be Zheng Ruxin!" He replied forcefully.

Zheng Shanyuan said: "Do you know what this means?"

"I know." Zheng Ruxin said: "Wealth and glory are tied to one person."

Although the grandson is willing to sacrifice himself to fight for a future.

But Zheng Shanyuan was still worried, he wondered if that kid Qingque would feel that the Zheng family only wanted to send a concubine to help him, which was alienating him.

"Grandfather, the wise man is capable!"

Zheng Ruxin said to himself: "If I am incompetent, the Duke will not accept me. If I am beneficial, the Duke will not care about other things."

This, he firmly believes.

Although he has been in Xingyang all the time, he has already understood the things that the county lord did during this period of time.

This person doesn't care about his background, he only cares about ability.

Otherwise, the last time he went to Donglai County, he wouldn't have used Zheng Ruyi and Pei Yuanyan, who were from Shandong gentry, and Yu Qingze, who was from the southern aristocratic family, at the same time.

Since Zheng Ruyi went the wrong way, she lost her chance.

Then he wouldn't mind replacing Zheng Ruyi.

Zheng Shanyuan nodded, "Okay, the old man agrees."

A look of joy appeared on Zheng Ruxin's face, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Grandfather, I'm going to make some preparations and come to see the Duke."

"No hurry, you go with my handwriting."

Zheng Shanyuan went to the case table and took out a written letter from it.

This letter was originally prepared for Zheng Ruyi, but since Qingque no longer wanted to see Zheng Ruyi, he did not show this letter.

Now, it happens to be handed over to Zheng Ruxin.

Handed the letter to Zheng Ruxin, encouraged him a few more words, and then asked him to leave.

Seeing his son leave, Zheng Renli said worriedly: "Father, will that kid Qingque still trust us?"

He has kept these words in his heart for a long time. Since Qingque came back, he has never visited because of various things.

Even if the Zheng family took the initiative to invite, Qing Que would refuse to come to visit because of old illness.

He suspects that Qing Que now thinks that the Zheng family is just using him, so he will take the initiative to alienate the Zheng family.

And all of this was because of Zheng Ruyi's mistake.

Zheng Shanyuan stroked his beard, recalling in his mind the conversation they had on the road after the Great Dynasty ended not long ago.

From this, he did not feel this son's alienation from the Zheng family.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was a deliberate gesture.

"We don't have a choice now." Zheng Shanyuan said slowly: "The fire cooks oil, and we are all fish and shrimp in a cauldron."

The suppression of the Cui family and the Lu family was just a signal, and he was sure that as long as the Zheng family got in the way in the future, the fate would not be any better than that of the Cui family.

"Why don't you make a decision before making a move? You don't have to choose Qingque."

Zheng Renli was still skeptical: "That kid is indeed very talented, but who can guarantee that he will make it to the end? There are countless heroes in the world."

"Foolishness!"

Zheng Shanyuan snorted coldly, too lazy to explain to his son.

At this time, Zheng Ruyi came back.

"Grandfather, Qingque still doesn't want to see me." Zheng Ruyi lowered her head in frustration.

He couldn't figure out why Qing Que was so angry.

Could it be that Qingque really didn't trust him because of this incident?

"No need, in a few days the Hui people will study hard and reflect on themselves." Zheng Shanyuan didn't bother to look at him.

Originally, he had high hopes for this grandson, hoping that he would become Qing Que's side person, but he went the wrong way.

"That blue sparrow over there"

"Brother Ruxin has already gone." Zheng Shanyuan interrupted.

Zheng Ruyi opened her mouth, which finally turned into a sigh.

Langya County Government Mansion.

Sitting in the side hall, Jiang Chengxiao felt helpless looking at the greeting cards on the case table.

"It's all to blame for being too good"

According to the appointment rules of the bureaucrats of the Jin Dynasty, the three posts of the county guard, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant were appointed by the emperor, but the county chief book, long history, Sima, Jin Cao, household Cao, Bing Cao, and Fa Cao were all appointed by the county guards. appointment.

In short, as a sheriff, you can form your own team.

But this is also a risk. If the person I recommend has trouble or is incompetent, if the investigation is finally carried out, the county guard will also be punished.

This time, he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong County, and also as a county lieutenant, with sole control of the power of a county.

Although Liaodong County has a small territory and a small population, it is still a county.

The sons of the rich and powerful in Chang'an were moved when they heard about it, and wanted to join Jiang Chengxiao's team, swindle their qualifications, and accumulate experience.

That's why these posts appear.

They are all job seekers!
But Jiang Chengxiao didn't intend to let some strangers follow him to drink soup.

Fold the invitations one by one and put them aside on the table, then spread out the white paper, and took a pen to write down the two names of 'Yu Qingze' and 'Pei Yuanyan'.

When he was about to write down the third name, Nan Jiyun appeared and said, "Master, there is a man named Zheng Ruxin outside the mansion, who claims to be holding a handwritten letter from Xingyang County, and wants to meet the master."

With that said, Nan Jiyun put a letter on the table.

Zheng Shanyuan?
Jiang Chengxiao opened the letter and read it carefully.

After a while, Jiang Chengxiao's eyes shifted from the letter, and he said with a light smile: "It's full of nonsense, only one sentence is true, Zheng Ruyi is indeed a fool."

"Let him in, I want to see what this Zheng Ruxin has real talent and learning."

Jiang Chengxiao put the letter aside, rolled up the white paper, threw it into the brazier and burned it.

Not long after, Zheng Ruxin entered the side hall and bowed respectfully to Jiang Chengxiao, "See Duke."

As soon as Jiang Chengxiao took a look at Zheng Ruxin, he knew that this person should be the son of his second uncle Zheng Renli.

He immediately got up and returned the salute with a smile, "You don't need to be too polite, cousin, please sit down."

The two sat on their knees facing each other, Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile: "Just call me Qingque, we are all family."

"Don't dare, how dare you do this when you are only white. If the Duke of the county is willing, I would like to call you the prince." Zheng Ruxin said.

"Hahaha." Jiang Chengxiao laughed and said, "Why, are you starting all over again for Zheng Ruyi?"

Although the object of addressing the Duke of the county and the son of the prince are the same, the meaning is slightly different.Calling the son of the prince shows the relationship between the two families, and calling the prince is purely a matter of status.

Zheng Ruxin called Shizi because he wanted to start from scratch.If he was called the Duke of the county, he would really become a substitute for Zheng Ruyi.

But he didn't expect that the county magistrate, who was younger than him, could see through his plan at a glance.

Is it really a generation with outstanding talents?

"Don't dare, Ruyi made a mistake, it's up to the Duke whether to forgive her or not."

Jiang Chengxiao was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "Then what are you doing here today? Are you also looking for a job?"

Having said that, Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly.

This Zheng Shanyuan was also somewhat interesting, knowing that he would still have a pimple with Zheng Ruyi for a while, and immediately changed someone else, what exactly did he want to do?
win over?

Jiang Chengxiao still hasn't figured out this question.

Zheng Ruxin nodded, and said sincerely: "This is indeed a job search, for myself."

He bit the word'self' very hard, as if he did it on purpose.

And Jiang Chengxiao also noticed it, so he said with a smile: "Brother Ru Xin was joking, you don't need to apply for a job, just say whatever you like."

How could Zheng Ruxin not understand this kind of polite words, he immediately said seriously: "Mr. Jun, I am here today only for me and nothing else. I would like to be a small official under the Duke's subordinates, and be on the saddle for the Duke."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "I don't know what brother Ru Xin thinks about Cui Yunxiang?"

"Death is more than a crime." Zheng Ruxin said.

"Oh? Why?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with interest.

Zheng Ruxin said: "Knowing that the imperial army is going to Donglai County, it is unwise to put yourself in danger. It is unrighteous to take advantage of the power of your fiancée and brother. It is unfaithful to collude with rebels. Cui Yunxiang has three crimes."

"Then what do you think?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

"Let it run its course."
