The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 130 The Olive Branch of the Dark Hall
In a mansion somewhere in Dong'e County, a handsome young man was kneeling on a mat, opposite him was an old man with gray beard and hair.

"Why is the hall master here?" The gray-bearded old man asked respectfully.

He knew that although the young man in front of him was less than half his age, his methods and abilities were more than twice as good as his own, so he would not neglect him just because he was young.

"I've taken a fancy to a person." There was a strange look in the young man's eyes and said: "This person is quite strange, if the dark hall wants to rise, you can rely on him."

"Oh, I don't know who the hall master is talking about?" The gray-bearded old man asked with some surprise.

In the impression of the old man, even Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who are now in full swing, have not received such an evaluation from the hall master, so if you look at the current princes, who can have such an honor?
"He is the current Sili Captain, Dongfang Sheng." The young man took a sip of hot tea and said.

"He!?" The gray-bearded old man said a little depressed: "He is not a nobleman, and he is not a powerful man. How can a mere Han tribe be favored by the hall master?"

"Hey, yes, Dongfang Sheng is not from a noble family after all." The young man sighed and said: "We can only create an identity for him, so that he can have an identity that can be seen. "

"Go talk to him about the situation first, don't explain the identity of the dark hall for the time being, but you can take advantage of your status as a nobleman surnamed Wang." The young man drank the hot tea and said: "Go get close to him first, try your best. If you want to help him, I will arrange for other people to create an identity for him, and then you just need to point it out."

"Here!"

The grey-haired old man responded loudly.

The young man got up and left without paying attention to the old man who bowed his head, and the old man was not at all unhappy, he bowed his head respectfully until the young man left before raising his head.

"My lord, the county magistrate of Dong'e is asking to see you."

A middle-aged man in satin clothes stood aside respectfully and said.

"Let him wait a little longer." The gray-bearded old man showed the momentum that a superior should have at this time, and said: "Let him in after the hall master leaves."

"Here!"

The middle-aged man backed away respectfully, and at the same time muttered to himself: Who was that young man just now, who even took care of my master, why, tsk tsk.

As soon as the middle-aged man left, the gray-bearded old man frowned and said to himself: "It seems that I have to go to see that Dongfang Sheng quickly, but why should I go to see him? I can't just go and see him with an old face." Him?"

"Master, can we call Dong'e county magistrate in now?" The middle-aged man asked after standing next to the old man for a while, and his hand unconsciously touched the money bag at his waist, obviously he had already received the benefits.

The gray-bearded old man also saw the middle-aged man's small movements, but he didn't expose him. He still understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

"Well, let him in, let him in alone." The old man said lightly.

"Here!"

The middle-aged man took the order to leave, feeling even more proud in his heart: Even if I was a housekeeper in the Wang family, wouldn't the magistrate of Dong'e County be respectful when he saw me?
The magistrate of Dong'e County is quite well-behaved, and his Quju Zen clothes are also meticulously taken care of, and his whole person reveals a trace of rigor.

"Master County Magistrate, my master is here to invite you." The middle-aged man went out and said to Dong'e County Magistrate.

"Oh, thank you." The magistrate of Dong'e said with a smile.

The middle-aged man led the magistrate of Dong'e through the corridor of the courtyard and reached the hall, then stopped and said, "Please wait again, magistrate, my master will be here soon."

The magistrate of Dong'e didn't show any displeasure on his face, but knelt down on the mat respectfully.

Another quarter of an hour passed before the gray-bearded old man walked into the hall belatedly.

"Teacher!" Dong'e County Magistrate said as soon as he saw the old man.

This is a way to show respect for people during the Three Kingdoms period.

After the gray-bearded old man knelt on the mat, Dong'e County Magistrate knelt back.

"The students came here this time to thank their mentor for his recommendation." Dong'e County Magistrate said with bright eyes: "If there is no mentor, there will be no current Dong'e County Magistrate."

"You are still a sensible person." The gray-bearded old man looked at Dong'e County Magistrate with some relief and said, "If ordinary students from poor families want to become officials in the court, without the recommendation of our gentry, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to heaven."

"In the future, if the mentor needs it, the student will definitely repay it with all his heart and soul." Dong'e County Magistrate said loudly.

"There is something that needs you to lead the way right now." The gray-bearded old man rolled his eyes and said, "Help me ask Sili Captain Dongfang to win."

"Master, if you want to see him, you just need to ask him to come to see him. Why bother?" Dong'e County Magistrate said proudly. In his eyes, a Sili captain who has no real power is not enough.

"Do I still need you to teach me how to do things?" The old man said a little displeased.

"Students dare not." The horse slapped the horse's hoof, and the Dong'e county magistrate hurriedly apologized.

The Han people in the Eastern Han Dynasty were ordinary people. If they wanted to be officials, they could only rely on the recommendation of the gentry or officials. The so-called gentry, to put it simply, were professional officials. Occupation is an official, and it has been this occupation for generations.

The reason why Dong'e county magistrate is so respectful to the old man is also because the old man is a nobleman with a big surname, and he is only a Han family. Even if he becomes an official, he still cannot be compared with the old man.

"Go and do it quickly." The gray-bearded old man gave the order to evict the guests.

"Here!"

The magistrate of Dong'e also understood the reason and left respectfully.

As soon as he got out of the old man's door, the magistrate of Dong'e glanced enviously at the 'Fan Yue' posted on the door, then turned to the driver of the carriage and said, "Go to Sili Xiaowei Dongfang Shengjia."

"Who is Captain Sili? Where is his home?" the coachman asked with some doubts.

"It's the infatuated general you passed on by word of mouth, do you know?" Dong'e County Magistrate said impatiently.

"Good!" said the coachman, raising his whip.

The county magistrate of Dong'e suddenly felt a little jealous: he, the county magistrate of Dong'e, became a servant of the Wang family, and how could Dongfang Sheng be appreciated by the Wang family?
"It's here, my lord!" The coachman reminded, lifting the curtain of the carriage.

"Oh, go knock on the door and tell the Dong'e County Magistrate to see you." The Dong'e County Magistrate said helplessly.

Although he was unhappy, Cao Cao was now stationed in Dong'e County. Although he was the magistrate of Dong'e County, he had no military power, let alone provoke Dongfang Sheng.
