Zhang Debao was unwilling to leave, but in fact he was nothing more than anything else, he just didn't want to see Zhang Baoku.

Because he firmly believed that as long as he went to the county town, he didn't even have to go to the county town. Even if he went out, Zhang Baoku would definitely come to him.

Zhang Baoku was the person he brought out. He knew the other party's nature clearly, but today he chose to betray him because of his career. Zhang Debao was heartbroken and didn't want to see him.

As expected, Zhang Debao's guess was correct. At this time, Zhang Baoku was indeed waiting here at the entrance of the village, but hesitated and reluctant to leave. Besides, his eyes were still looking back, not knowing who was waiting or who he was looking for, but no matter how he waited or looked at, he still didn't see the figure he wanted to see.

"Master, it's dark!" Zhang Jinbao, the general manager of Zhang Baoku's mansion, watched the heat gradually sink, so he didn't care about Zhang Baoku's melancholy and walked up to remind him carefully.

"Well~ Is it dark?" Zhang Baoku was not angry when he heard this. He just looked up in surprise and looked at the sky that had quietly ended. The dark clouds in the sky were uneven, half white and half black, covering it, the sky that was about to enter the night.

However, at this time, you can still see the road clearly, so it is not a problem to return to the county town. If you continue to wait, you may have to hold up the torch in the next moment, otherwise you will not be able to see the road clearly three meters away.

"Master, do you still have to wait?" Zhang Jinbao asked in a low voice.

"Wait?" Zhang Baoku was stunned when he heard this.

Yes, do you have to wait?

It's dark now. If you keep waiting, it will be difficult to go back in a while. Zhang Baoku naturally understands this, so he is in a turmoil. It's hard for him to make a decision after waiting.

"Xiaobao, did you think I did something wrong?" He did not continue to think about the question of waiting, and asked Zhang Jinbao thoughtfully to ask the other party to answer, he had just chosen to stand opposite Zhang Debao, did he do something wrong?

Yes, Zhang Baoku is actually aware of it.

I just couldn't accept this question. I was afraid of being talked about and betrayed. For the sake of my official position, even my master gave up selling it.

Zhang Baoku followed Zhang Debao for seven years. After Zhang Debao was promoted to the prefect of Anzhou, the county magistrate of Lingshan County was vacant.

Zhang Baoku followed Zhang Debao for seven years and served as the magistrate for seven years. Faced with the vacancy of the position of county magistrate, it was impossible to say that he had no idea about the county. Even if Zhang Debao assured him that he would take him to Anzhou Prefecture together, even so, he still did not give up the position of county magistrate. He felt that following Zhang Debao, he was just a little man and could not make decisions about many things. It was just Zhang Debao's follower, so how could he feel comfortable with the county magistrate?

Zhang Debao accidentally learned about this matter.

When the two were talking, Zhang Baoku was frank and said that he wanted to be the magistrate of Lingshan County.

After hearing his words, Zhang Debao did not speak, but was silent for a long time. Finally, he thought of his loyalty and hard work over the years, and agreed to recommend him. No matter what the result was, Zhang Debao could not guarantee it, and could only say it was a try.

It is precisely because of Zhang Debao's help that the letter of recommendation was reached by Lingyun. After some operation, Zhang Baoku finally got his wish and became the county magistrate of Lingshan County.

Ling Yun’s original idea was also very simple, no one should do it.

Zhang Baoku is someone Zhang Debao can trust, so to a certain extent he can be considered his own person. Besides, being the magistrate of Lingshan County is of course better than outsiders. Both for the Ling family and the people of Lingshan County, there are unexpected benefits. So when thinking about this, Ling Yun had no other concerns and pushed Zhang Baoku's name up with his backhand.

When the rebels of Annan King had just been suppressed, Emperor Gan Xi naturally had no reason to refuse Ling Yun's recommendation. Therefore, whether it was the recommendation of Anzhou Prefect or Lingshan County Magistrate, Emperor Gan Xi had only one requirement, that was, all of them were satisfied, and he could be said to be a great favor.

In fact, Ling Yun did not know Zhang Baoku, or had no impression of Zhang Baoku, which is why Zhang Baoku seemed cold when he greeted him.

Today, in order to protect his career, Zhang Baoku stood opposite in front of Ling Yun and Zhang Debao.

This is undoubtedly showing goodwill to Yang Hui, and undoubtedly tearing his face to Ling Yun and Zhang Debao again.

Now, Yang Hui has left.

Zhang Baoku hesitated and was very confused. In the end, he wanted to admit his mistake, but did he really think he had done something wrong?

That's not necessarily.

Even if he did it again, Zhang Baoku would still make the same decision in order to maintain his career.

"Master, I don't know." Zhang Jinbao shook his head gently, saying that he didn't know either.

After that, he paused and thoughtful, "But the slave still felt that no matter what, no matter what happens, we must protect ourselves first and then think about others."

As soon as these words were said, it undoubtedly showed that Zhang Baoku was not wrong.

Zhang Jinbao thought to himself, if people do not care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth.

What's wrong with the master doing this?

Although he thought so, he did not dare to say it out loud because he could not figure out what Zhang Baoku was thinking. If he said what he was thinking, it was not what Zhang Baoku thought, and he would inevitably be scolded by the other party, so he changed his way to express his position.

Zhang Jinbao is worthy of being the chief manager of the yamen and speaks well.

After listening to his words, Zhang Baoku gradually disappeared, and his mood gradually became clear. The smile that had disappeared on his face for a long time also quietly emerged.

"Let's go back first!" Zhang Baoku said calmly.

"Master, aren't you waiting for the prefect?" Zhang Jinbao was slightly stunned, looking a little sudden, and couldn't help asking.

But when he said this, he immediately felt regretful.

Zhang Baoku ordered to leave, and he asked again, wouldn’t it seem like a waste of time?

Zhang Jinbao really wanted to slap himself more at this moment.

Zhang Baoku just paused slightly when he said that, and then got on the carriage with the help of the servant.

Zhang Jinbao was not thinking too much, so he hurriedly followed, stopped at the window of the carriage, and shouted in a low voice, "Set off!"

The wheels rolled, the carriage was slowly moving on the road, and torches also arose when the night came.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Debao refused Ling Yun's attempt to stay and hurriedly left with his entourage.

It’s not that Zhang Debao doesn’t want to stay or stay, but that he doesn’t want people to leave a handle.

What I thought was that just offending Yang Hui yesterday was equivalent to offending Gao Qiqiang. If Gao Qiqiang punished him for the reason of going out privately on his job, he would have no way to do anything.

So when Zhang Debao thought of this, he hurriedly left.

With Zhang Debao's departure, Ling's mansion returned to peace.
