Chapter 174
"As for who you are?"
"It's not important at all. This county magistrate doesn't want to know."
Liu Yu said.
"That Cai Boyi just now was just a slip of the tongue."
"You haven't seen him, have you?"
Cai Yong felt mixed emotions and froze in place, not knowing what to say.
After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his breath, he said, "Thank you, county magistrate."
"I will repay you with gratitude in the future."
"I, Cai Boyi... oh no, I, Yangyi, will remember your kindness forever."
The young county magistrate clearly wanted to cover it up for him, and Cai Yong was extremely grateful.
"Don't do it another day." Liu Yu smiled and said, "It's better to do it today than to choose another day."
"If you want to repay me with gratitude, do it today."
"I have always been clean and efficient in doing things, and I never drag my feet."
"Uh..." Cai Yong was stunned in place, not knowing what to do.
After thinking about it, he didn't know how to repay the other party.
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and said firmly: "Don't worry, County Magistrate, I will do my best to train some Confucian scholars for Tanghai County."
"Let them help the County Magistrate govern the county."
"I volunteer to stay in Tanghai City for another two years."
"I will never let the County Magistrate lack Confucian scholars!"
The resounding promise sounded in the lobby.
Cai Yong waited for the other party's response.
After all, the other party, who was also a Confucian scholar, had to decline.
"Okay, that's it." Liu Yu nodded happily, "With a great Confucian scholar like you, Tanghai County will definitely produce many Confucian scholars in the future."
"Otherwise, it will be unworthy of your reputation."
"..." Cai Yong was speechless.
Things shouldn't be going this way.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the County Magistrate decline?
Then, he spoke again to express his gratitude.
After three attempts, he reluctantly agreed.
He could even exempt him from one year, or directly follow the original one-year agreement.
But he never thought that the other party would nod and agree without any hesitation.
He had prepared countless arguments and countermeasures in his mind, but all of them fell through.
This... what should I do.
Cai Yong felt that his head was overwhelmed.
"In addition, there is one more thing." Liu Yu said.
"As a great scholar of the time, you must have many students."
"I hope you can introduce a few to Tanghai County to contribute to the construction of the border of our Han Dynasty."
"Also let your disciples get spiritual sublimation."
"Become a new scholar who gets rid of vulgar tastes and pursues more noble sentiments!"
After a lot of words, Cai Yong didn't know what to say.
The young county magistrate in front of him was righteous.
That look, as if he had given his whole life for the whole Han Dynasty.
It makes people feel respect.
If Cai Yong was ten years younger.
Before he was exiled, he would have been very excited by these words.
I am afraid he would have shouted on the spot to stay and work together for the Han Dynasty's border.
But he is no longer young, and there are many thoughts in his heart.
He is not a person who can easily mobilize emotions with two or three exciting words.
"That..."
Cai Yong rubbed his hands, "I do have a few disciples with whom I have established a relationship."
"But..."
He said with some embarrassment: "Youzhou is a borderland. Even if I have a great face, I don't know if they are willing to come."
"Moreover, I can't use my previous name to interact with them."
"After all, I am now a guilty person."
"Please understand my difficulties, Mr. County Magistrate."
"It's okay." Liu Yu waved his hand.
Cai Yong just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party continue to speak.
"I have already thought of a good excuse for you." Liu Yu smiled.
"Write a letter according to the excuse I have thought of for you and tell those disciples."
"Just treat it as a recommendation. If the other party is willing to come, it will be great."
"If they don't come, this county magistrate cannot force them."
"Don't worry, I will definitely let you leave safely at the agreed time."
"Once the three-year period is over, I will definitely not keep you for half a minute."
Cai Yong smacked his lips and was speechless.
The county magistrate in front of him... is very cunning!
However, this county magistrate is really good to his own people.
Whether it is those commanders or soldiers.
Or the ordinary people in Tanghai County, the life they are living now is a life that ordinary people in Luoyang City cannot compare with.
Even some small families with a little land and industry don't know if they can compare.
That's three full meals a day.
In this half-sizedIn the days when the sons of the state were eating the fathers to death, he could still treat all the people like this.
This county magistrate is definitely a great official.
He has been in the officialdom for so long, and he has never seen such a good official.
"Okay." Cai Yong agreed.
Anyway, it's just a letter. Whether those disciples are willing to come or not, the county magistrate will not force it.
What's more, he also wants to see if the disciples can still miss him now that he is guilty.
Liu Yu ordered the servants to bring paper and pen, and he said, let Cai Yong write.
"Bingzhou bandits are everywhere, and they were captured and returned to the north. It happened that Tanghai County Magistrate of Youzhou suppressed the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans and rescued them."
"Take them to Youbeiping County temporarily, and wait for notification to the court."
"Can you come and see your master?"
Cai Yong put down his pen, and wrote it in one stroke, and his unique flying white style spread out.
Liu Yu stared at the font, remembering the other party's writing habits.
"That's it?" Cai Yong looked up and asked. How could such a short letter move people's hearts?
He thought that the young county magistrate had prepared some words, but he never thought it was so simple.
"That's it." Liu Yu picked up the paper and asked the servant beside him to put it away. "By the way, Mr. Yang, what do you want to do?"
Cai Yong remembered the purpose of coming here, and hurriedly said: "Report to the county magistrate, the new city gate tower has been built and is waiting for the county magistrate to inspect it."
"Okay, you go first, I'll be back soon." Liu Yu ordered.
Seeing Cai Yong leave the hall, he asked the servant to bring the letter that he had just put away.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Zhen Mi ran to the table and saw Liu Yu pick up the pen and dip it in ink, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Of course I'm writing a letter." Liu Yu raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a mysterious smile.
Open the system in your mind and search for the two skills of [Feibai Style] and [Writing Imitation].
Carefully observe Cai Yong's handwriting. With the help of the [Writing Imitation] skill, the other party's various writing habits are analyzed in great detail.
After a slight pause, Liu Yu put pen to paper.
Swish!
The tip of the pen moves rapidly on the paper.
"Oh! The handwriting of my brother-in-law is exactly the same as that on the letter!" Zhen Mi covered her mouth lightly and cried out.
She looked down and read the words on the paper in a low voice.
"My teacher was injured by thieves on the road. Now he is weak. I don't know if he can live to return to Luoyang."
"I want to see you for the last time, so that I can die."
"If you can't meet me, I hope you can bring my teacher's body back to my hometown for burial."
"In addition, my teacher misses Zhao Ji very much..."
