Chapter 240 Sima Family

Bingzhou Jinyang.

Ding Yuan was sitting in his mansion full of anger.

"Old man Cai Yong, the governor personally went to invite me, but you dare not agree. Don't give me face, you bastard."

It turned out that Ding Yuan took the pains to personally invite Cai Yong to come to Jinyang to cultivate, but Cai Yong refused, and he was angry at this time.

At this moment, Ding Yuan's confidant walked in.

"Lord Inspector, Wu Meng is here to engage Zhang Yang."

"Oh, what is he doing here?" Ding Yuan was puzzled, and after a few breaths he said disdainfully: "Let him in!"

Soon, a mighty and brave young man strode in, respectfully greeted him and said, "Lord Inspector!"

However, Ding Yuan didn't even raise his head, just rolled his eyelids indifferently, and said weakly: "What's the matter with you?"

Ding Yuan's negligence was too conspicuous, but Zhang Yang didn't take it seriously, or superficially he said: "Lord Governor, you asked me to invite Sima Fang from the Sima family in Hanoi a few days ago, and my subordinates have already invited them. "

"Oh."

Ding Yuan lazily responded, and later, he suddenly woke up, stood up abruptly, and said in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Zhang Yang was dissatisfied in his heart, but he raised his head with a smile on his face: "My subordinates have invited Sima Fang from the Sima family in Hanoi, and are waiting outside the door to be received by your lord."

Now Ding Yuan understood, or finally confirmed Zhang Yang's words, but there was still a hint of disbelief on his face.

He was born as a military general in Ding Yuan, and he was not supported by the gentry behind him, and was even opposed by the gentry. That's why he has been looking for help from the aristocratic family all these years, but he was rejected without exception.

Because of this, when he heard that Cai Yong was in Bingzhou, Ding Yuan went to invite him day and night in person. Cai Yong's reputation was not weaker than that of any gentry, but as always, Cai Yong rejected him.

When Ding Yuan was extremely disappointed, Zhang Yang actually brought such good news, how could Ding Yuan be unhappy?

"You...why are you still staring blankly? Hurry...quickly invite Sima Jiangong in!" Ding Yuan roared.

When Zhang Yang turned around, he was about to invite him, but Ding Yuan stopped him again, and said excitedly, "Wait! I invite myself, I invite myself!"

While Ding Yuan was striding out, he was arranging his tiara, belt, and clothing...

He didn't know that Zhang Yang, who was standing behind him, sneered silently. Zhang Yang found it ridiculous that a warrior paid so much attention to appearance.

I have worked for Ding Yuan for many years, but I am still not as good as an outsider who I don't know at all, which makes Zhang Yang feel bitter.

"Mr. Sima Jiangong is here, why didn't he inform Ding sooner? If I had known earlier, I would have traveled ten miles out of the city to meet him."

Standing in front of Ding Yuan was an elegant middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament, which made Ding Yuan secretly surprised that he was indeed a member of the Sima family in Hanoi.

The Sima family in Hanoi, one of the big families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is definitely one of the top families even if it cannot compete with the Yuan family and the Xun family.

Sima Fang was neither arrogant nor overly humble, he just bowed slightly, made a proper salute, and said softly: "Jianggong is nameless and has no virtue, how can he be treated like this by an adult?"

Ding Yuan was very satisfied with Sima Fang's attitude, he didn't have the arrogance of other gentry children at all, so he said happily: "Mr. Jiangong, please come in. This governor will call all the officials under him to clean up the dust for you."

However, Sima Fang waved his hand and refused: "Inspector Ding, Mr. Jiang came here to advise you when he heard that you were worried. As for catching up, there is no rush. Let Jiangong solve your problems for you."

"..."

Ding Yuan was so moved that he almost cried bitterly, seeing how the Sima family's children behaved, even if they didn't eat, they would help me solve the problem.

Ding Yuan didn't refuse, he personally led the way and led Sima Fang into the meeting hall.

Seeing this scene in Zhang Yang's eyes, there was another burst of laughter. Those who didn't know thought Sima Fang was the master and Ding Yuan was the subordinate.

"Mr. Jiangong, what worries me now is Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, the magistrate of Wuyuan County."

Sima Fang smiled, as expected, but deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked: "How can a small Wuyuan county magistrate worry the dignified governor of Bingzhou and the officials of Fengjiang?"

This remark made Ding Yuan very embarrassed. If it was someone else, Ding Yuan would immediately be rude.

But when Ding Yuan looked into Sima Fang's eyes, he found that he had a serious face, seemingly harmless.

Maybe Sima Fang didn't mean anything malicious, Ding Yuan comforted himself.

"Mr. Jiangong doesn't know that although Guo Jia is a small Wuyuan county magistrate, he is extremely capable of making trouble. When he was in Luoyang before, he caused Luoyang to be turned upside down and the people were in dire straits. It is really hateful! Now he has just arrived in Bingzhou , actually angered King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu, and now the northern border is beaten into darkness and blood is flowing like rivers, it is all Guo Jia's fault."

"Really?"

Sima Fang was puzzled, lowered his head inadvertently, and at a moment that Ding Yuan couldn't see, he showed a look of disdain. How could the Sima family not know about this matter in Bingzhou and Luoyang? Two sentences are lies, and the other sentence is too exaggerated. They are teasing me, the Sima family?

But when Sima Fang raised his head, the expression on his face was cold and stern: "This Guo Jia is too hateful, I don't know what the governor wants me to do?"

Seeing that Sima Fang had no doubts about his words and felt the same, Ding Yuan showed joy and said happily, "I hope Guo Jia can disappear in Bingzhou."

Disappeared, Ding Yuan deliberately said these two words very strongly, how could an old fox like Sima Fang not understand, Ding Yuan wanted Guo Jia to die.

However, Sima Fang did not immediately agree, but pretended not to understand, and said, "Master Inspector, you are joking, you are in charge of a state, do you need my help with this trivial matter?"

Ding Yuan's face froze, and then he became extremely embarrassed. That's right, the governor of a state can't solve such a trivial matter with the county magistrate of the previous county. It's really embarrassing.

But looking at Sima Fang's face, he was extremely serious, without any sarcasm at all, Ding Yuan was puzzled.

"Lord Inspector, actually, you don't need to worry too much." Sima Fang said.

"How?" Ding Yuan asked.

"Although Guo Jia was proud for a while, there was Liu Bao's army threatening behind him, and there were countless people in the gentry who had enemies with him. Even if the adults didn't deal with him, he wouldn't be able to laugh for long." Sima Fang didn't hesitate. said.

call--

"It's so good." Ding Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Jiangong, there is still a vacancy for one of my subordinates, I don't know if you have this intention."

Don't drive, the second in command of the state, it can be seen that Ding Yuan attaches great importance to Sima Fang.

But Sima Fang smiled, took out a yellow cloth from his wide sleeve, and handed it to Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan looked inexplicably, and it turned out that it was the imperial court's will to promote Sima Fang to Luoyang Ling. The position of Luoyang Ling is not comparable to others.What does Sima Fang mean? Since he can't serve me, why did he come to my place again?
************
A few months later, in Luoyang Ling's mansion, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy looked at his father: "Father, did you go to Ding Yuan's place to appease him and let him not have resentment towards my Sima family?"

"Of course not!" Before Sima Fang could speak, a six- or seven-year-old boy on the other side spoke.

"Second brother, what do you know?" Sima Lang said unhappily.

But Sima Fang didn't mind, and laughed instead. This second son has always been smart, and since he was a child, he has shown a lot of wisdom that adults can't guess, maybe he can really think right.

"Yi'er, tell me."

"Okay." The boy said in a childish voice: "No matter what father does, it must be for the benefit of the family."

"En." Sima Fang nodded in satisfaction. Of course, the gentry in this era always put their family first before their country.

With Sima Fang's affirmation, the boy became more confident: "Bingzhou was originally decided by Ding Yuan alone, and our Sima family had no chance to get involved, but Guo Jia's appearance gave us this opportunity. When two tigers compete, we naturally have the opportunity to join the state."

Sima Lang looked at his father curiously, wanting to see if he agreed with his second brother.

But Sima Fang laughed loudly: "As expected of my son Sima Yi, the wolf of the Sima family!"
