I'm a marquis in Datang

In the afternoon, when Xu Tu was reading a book, a servant from the manor knocked on the door and entered, and reported: "My lord, the county government sent someone to send a message, please go."

"understood."

Xu Tu nodded and answered.

At this moment, Xu Tu was still a little excited.

Du Ye arranged for someone to notify him to go. Obviously, there was a great possibility that he wanted to accept the Xu family.Otherwise, it would not be necessary to arrange someone to notify him to go.If it is a refusal, just arrange for someone to notify you directly.

Xu Tu arranged for someone to tell Xu Yinhe that he had gone to the county government and would not be back for a while.Then, Xu Tu changed his clothes, went out of the house and boarded the carriage, and left Xujia Village in the heavy rain to go to the county government.

It's not too far from Xujia Village to the county seat.

However, due to the heavy rain, the speed of the journey was still slightly affected.

In the evening, Xu Tu arrived at the county government office.

He entered the county office, saw Du Ye in the study, stepped forward and saluted, "Xu Tu, pay your respects to County Magistrate Du."

Du Ye waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

Xu Tu thanked and sat down.

Du Ye arranged for someone to bring ginger soup, placed it in front of Xu Tu, and said, "It's raining heavily this way, so don't get caught in the cold. Brother Xu, let's have a bowl of ginger soup first."

After Xu Tu thanked him, he was not polite, and finished a bowl of ginger soup.

At this time, the whole body warmed up.

Although it is August now, the heavy rain has been falling, and there is still a slight chill.

Du Ye said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, I have considered it carefully. The Xu family is willing to follow me, and Brother Xu is willing to follow me. I, Du Ye, accept it."

Xu Tu immediately stood up and saluted Du Ye. This was kneeling down and saluting, expressing his respect to the lord.

At least for now, Xu Tu followed Du Ye.

He was like Du Ye's guest of honor, like Du Ye's staff.

In fact, when Xu Tu didn't know Du Ye's identity, it was a bit of a disadvantage for such a contribution.However, Xu Tu believed in Xu Yinhe's judgment.And at the moment, Xu Tu also thinks this is an excellent way to get out of Jiangyin County.After all, he had never been successful in the imperial examination, so it is not bad to join Du Ye now.

Du Ye stood up and supported Xu Tu, and then the two sat down.

Now, Xu Tu has changed his mentality.

He has been Du Ye's staff ever since.

He is no longer Brother Xu, and he must be more respectful in his words, and he cannot regard himself as an elder brother.

Du Ye's eyes gradually sharpened, and he said, "Brother Xu, you should have judged my identity. Tell me, how did you and Mr. Xu judge?"

Xu Tu said: "Xianzun, you can just call me Biao directly."

Du Ye shook his head and said, "Although the relationship between you and me has changed, in my heart, you are still my elder brother. Besides, it's just a title, not worth mentioning."

Xu Tu didn't say any more, anyway, that's what Du Ye called him.Xu Tu said directly: "My grandfather and I infer that the county lord should be a descendant of an aristocratic family, or a descendant of a dignified court."

Du Ye nodded, and said, "Unfortunately, you are all wrong."

Xu Tu said: "What is the identity of the county lord?"

Du Ye said: "I am the Prince of the Eastern Palace."

boom! !

It was as if a thunderclap exploded in Xu Tu's mind, and he was stunned.His mind went blank for a moment, he did not expect such a situation, the person in front of him turned out to be the prince.

Not an ordinary family member.

Not a child of a big family.

After a long time, Xu Tu came back to his senses. He quickly stood up, knelt down on the ground with a plop, knocked his head on the ground, and saluted: "Xu Tu, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this moment, Xu Tu's heart was already turning a thousand times.

Countless thoughts passed.

But in the end Xu Tu's idea was only the simplest idea, ginger is still old and spicy.

Grandfather mighty.

Let him handle this matter, but the way of handling it is different. Du Ye was rejected yesterday.It was his grandfather who was wise enough to see through Du Ye's identity at a glance.Although Du Ye's identity was never really deduced, at least it was close.

Du Ye smiled and said: "Brother Xu, get up. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be like this. Besides, when you are outside, you don't need to call me the prince, you can just call me the county lord."

"Yes, I obey."

Xu Tu stood up.

He returned to his seat, his heart still beating non-stop.

He didn't expect that he was loyal to the prince.

Good luck.

This time it was really lucky.

Seeing Xu Tu's appearance, Du Ye knew that Xu Tu was still a little shocked, so he smiled.In fact, such a situation was also within his expectation. After all, as the head of a county, Du Ye had worked with Xu Tu fortification for such a long time.

Who would have thought that the prince would come to Jiangyin County?

Xu Tu took a deep breath, managed to calm down his excitement, and then said, "His Royal Highness, you are the heir of the Eastern Palace, why did you come to Jiangyin County to serve as the magistrate of a county?"

Du Ye said: "This is the arrangement of my father, let me practice in Jiangyin County. In fact, I have gained a lot in Jiangyin County for a short time. I didn't expect that the local affairs are so complicated. In fact This time I am in charge of Jiangyin County, if there is no Mr. Xu, many things will be quite complicated."

Xu Tu said: "His Royal Highness is really wise. It is absolutely impossible to put it on others. Especially as the head of a county, there are so many things to do. Not to mention, you have been busy building rivers in the area for a while. , that was really hard work."

Du Ye said with a smile: "If you are flattering, then say less. You follow me, and you are the first person to follow me. I don't ask you much, so just say what should be said, don't just say it because of me. I have scruples about my status. What I need is a good minister, not a sycophant. I need someone to remind me. You may not be the smartest person, but I hope you are the most selfless person."

Xu Tu solemnly said: "His Royal Highness, please rest assured, the humble position will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations."

Today's Xu Tu is still excited.

Originally, he thought that he was loyal to the son of a great family, but he did not expect that the person he was loyal to was the true dragon of the world, the one who would rule the world in the future.

Du Ye said in a deep voice: "Okay, there's no need to talk about the old things. You are working with me now, so you can stay in the county government temporarily and be my staff. This heavy rain has been falling for a long time. My God. Someone has been watching the local handling. But now, there has been no news. Next, you will be responsible for counting the news from all over the place."

Xu Tu said: "The humble job obeys."
