Chapter 18 Louzhi County

Fang Yang entered and looked up, only to see that the interior decoration was very simple and unpretentious, without luxury.

On the wall facing the gate, there is a framed copybook with black characters on a white background, with four large characters of "for the public and the people" written on it.

Below the copybook, there is a dark red long table against the wall. On the table, on the left and right sides, there is a blue and white pot-bellied long-necked bottle, and in the middle is a potted young pine.

In front of the hall is a mahogany Eight Immortals table. On the table is a tray with untouched steamed buns and porridge. It seems that Louzhi County may not even have breakfast.

On both sides of the Eight Immortals table, there is a large grand master's chair.

……

Before Fang Yang could look any further, Lao Xing took a few steps to the left side of the room, and saluted Lou Zhixian, who was sitting in front of a long table full of paperwork, leaning over to sign paperwork.

Then, regardless of whether Lou Zhixian saw it or not, he walked to Lou Zhixian's side after saluting, whispered something in Lou Zhixian's ear, and pointed at Fang Yang.

Oh~?

Lou Zhixian was a little surprised when he heard the words. He stopped writing, got up and carefully placed the Langhao pen in his hand on the celadon pen holder, and then looked up at Fang Yang.

Taking such care of a not-so-expensive Langhao brush shows that Louzhi County does not usually have a lot of money.

Lou Zhixian looked directly at Fang Yang solemnly for a moment, and he saw Fang Yang smiling, with an extraordinary demeanor, looking at him neither humble nor overbearing, without fear.It's not like ordinary people who kneel down and kowtow to their knees, their legs go limp when they see it.

Lou Zhixian was very satisfied with this, and the original dignified expression turned into a smile.

In Lou Zhixian's view, there are only two kinds of people who can behave like Fang Yang. One is a person who is upright, open-minded, and has a clear conscience. Such people don't have to be afraid of him when they see their parents and officials respectful but fearless.

The second is a person with unique skills and extraordinary martial power. This kind of person is arrogant and arrogant, and he is proud of his martial arts.

And just now he heard from Lao Xing that Fang Yang was probably a man of martial arts, so he naturally classified Fang Yang as the second type of people. In terms of breaking the ban, as a parent official, he naturally treated Fang Yang with caution, so he was a little dignified at the beginning.

But Lou Zhi County looked at Fang Yang just now, and found that Fang Yang was smiling, without arrogance or arrogance. Looking at Fang Yang was like a spring breeze, very refreshing, and he didn't have any reckless spirit in him, but a kind of lightness The bookishness of the scholars.

Lou Zhi County has considered himself an official for decades, and he is somewhat sure of the way to know people and face each other. He is a literati himself, so in his opinion, since Fang Yang has a scholarly spirit, even though he is a man in the world, he must He is a person with righteousness and magnanimity.

Therefore, Lou Zhi County naturally had a slight liking for Fang Yang, and the original solemnity was replaced by a smile.

When Fang Yang was looking at him in Louzhi County, he was looking at Louzhi County.

I saw that Lou Zhixian was about fifty years old, his not very tall body was straight, his face was slightly wrinkled and flushed, his forehead was broad, and he had a square face, which was quite majestic.

His gray hair was tied up with a square scarf, and there were three strands of long white beard under his chin. His eyes were piercing, and he was not angry and majestic, and he looked upright.

Because he didn't go to court, Lou Zhixian didn't wear official uniforms, but a blue cloth robe that was washed white, and there were a few patches in the inconspicuous places, which was less official, but more peaceful.

Lao Xing saw Fang Yang and Lou Zhixian staring at each other without speaking, and he was secretly anxious. In his opinion, Lou Zhixian is the sky. Even if Lou Zhixian has a good temper, he should treat him with respect and serve him carefully.

Now seeing that Fang Yang was so ignorant of etiquette, he dared to look at Lou Zhixian, and didn't know how to step forward to salute. How could he not be in a hurry? If Fang Yang, Lou Zhixian was offended, he would not get any good results.

Although Lao Xing was a little messy when things happened, his heart was not bad. When he was in a hurry, he winked at Fang Yang frequently and secretly made gestures, telling Fang Yang to hurry up and salute.

Seeing Lao Xing scratching his ears and cheeks, Fang Yang smiled slightly. He didn't want to embarrass Lao Xing, so under Lao Xing's anxious gaze, he took a step forward, fisted Lou Zhixian, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Lou Zhixian waved his hand and stopped Fang Yang: "There is no need to be too polite. Although I don't understand the rules of the people in the world, I do know some."

As he said that, he glanced at Lao Xing. Lao Xing thought that his concealed actions could not be hidden from the magistrate Lou. He laughed and said, "Xiao Xing, are you playing a monkey show? Although I, Lou, can't say that I can be as big as the prime minister I can hold a boat in my stomach, but I am not a person who cares about every detail, so if he doesn't salute me, will I blame him?"

"Hehehe~!"

When Lao Xing heard this, he didn't know how to answer, so he scratched his head and smiled at Lou Zhixian with a sense of joy.

He put on this look, which really made people angry.

When Lou Zhixian saw Lao Xing like this, he shook his head helplessly. Obviously, it was not the first time he had seen Lao Xing like this.

"Please~!"

He turned his head and ignored Lao Xing, but walked around the long table and stretched out his hand to guide Fang Yang to sit down on the grand master's chair.

Seeing this, Fang Yang smiled politely at Lou Zhixian, and didn't pretend to refuse, and sat down on the grand teacher's chair with a big buttocks.

Seeing that Fang Yang was so forthright and impolite, Lou Zhixian, who was used to being polite, was a little stunned, but then he stroked his beard and looked at Fang Yang with admiration. In his eyes, this was the expression of Fang Yang's innocence. The real sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes!

"Tea~!"

Lou Zhixian yelled to the outside, and then sat down at the main seat on the other side.

After the maid served the tea, Lou Zhixian said to Lao Xing who was standing beside him: "Xiao Xing, you go out first, I will chat with Mr. Fang first, remember to close the door."

"Hey~!"

Lao Xing bowed his head and nodded, agreeing. At the same time, he winked at Fang Yang, who was 'unceremonious', telling Fang Yang to pay attention.

Seeing Fang Yang nodding his head slightly to express his understanding, Lao Xing closed the door with confidence and walked out.

"Please~!"

Lou Zhixian picked up the tea bowl and held it up to Fang Yang.

Fang Yang also picked up the tea bowl to return the gift, then lifted the lid of the bowl, used the lid to shake off the floating leaves on the surface of the tea, blew on it, and took a small sip.

After Lou Zhixian took a sip of tea, he put down the tea bowl and looked at Fang Yang, and asked first, "Mr. Fang, I heard from Xiao Xing that you were originally from Qixia Town?"

"Yes~!"

Fang Yang nodded when he heard the words, then let out a long sigh. He stroked the teacup gently, "When I was two years old, both my parents died for some reason, leaving me alone in Qixia Town with no one to rely on. Later, when I was ten That year, thanks to God’s mercy, I was able to meet my benefactor, so I went out with his old man to wander the rivers and lakes, and it took ten years! I just returned to my hometown last night.”

Fang Yang also followed the words of Louzhi County, and just said a few words, but when he talked about his childhood in Qixia Town, Fang Yang was really emotional. Although the residents in the town were kind and cared for him Plus, but how can it cover everything, the hardships are really beyond human understanding.

Seeing Fang Yang's emotion, Lou Zhixian felt the same way. He could fully imagine how hard it would be for a child without father and mother to live alone.

"The past is like the wind, it's all gone! You don't need to think about it, besides, you are now an extraordinary person and personable, enough to comfort your parents in heaven!"

Lou Zhixian waved his hand, first comforted Fang Yang for a while, then changed the subject and stared at Fang Yang, "But ~ just now Xiao Xing said that you were at the scene when the male and female demons were arrested, and told him that there might be some misunderstanding , I wonder if you can talk to Lou about this matter?"
