Chapter 1102: Guo Clan shows goodwill!【3】

~5 min read 999 words

Compared to a year ago, Guo Jia had grown up a lot at this time.

Wearing a black robe, he still looked very slender and clean.

Guo Jia, holding two case files, came to Duan Yu and placed the files next to the side table.

Then he bowed and clasped his hands to salute: "Guo Jia pays respects to the Marquis of Ji."

A smile appeared on Duan Yu's face for the first time since entering the Tingwei office.

"You've grown taller, but your body is still too weak," Duan Yu said with a smile.

I don't know if it was because of shyness or because the weather was still cold at this time, but after Duan Yu finished this sentence, Guo Jia's face was obviously redder.

"The Marquis of Ji is right," Guo Hong also said on the side: "Fengxiao, you are a bit too thin."

After finishing with Guo Jia, Guo Hong looked at Duan Yu and bowed with a smile: "Marquis of Ji, Fengxiao has been weak and sick since childhood, and it is still the same today. The Marquis of Ji is the number one fierce general in the world, and your martial arts are unparalleled. I think the Marquis of Ji must have a unique way to strengthen your physique."

"If the Marquis of Ji doesn't mind the disturbance, can you let Fengxiao ask the Marquis of Ji for some advice when you are free."

"Just now when I came, I saw that the soldiers under the Marquis of Ji's command and those young generals were not old, and they seemed to be the same as Fengxiao, but their bodies were much stronger."

"Fengxiao, this child's body has always made me worry."

Guo Hong's words left Guo Jia stunned on the spot, and he didn't react for a long time.

Duan Yu also heard a lot of overtones from Guo Hong's words.

This was not the first time he had come into contact with the Yingchuan Guo clan.

It was not the first time he had come into contact with Guo Hong and Guo Jia.

The first time was in Luoyang, also in the Tingwei office.

At that time, he was just a small county lieutenant.

However, Guo Hong's attitude towards him was not as arrogant as other top noble families.

The Yingchuan Guo clan, although not a top noble family like the four major noble families of Yingchuan, was definitely in the first tier of noble families.

The Yingchuan Guo clan had studied the "Small Du Code" for generations and had officials with two thousand shi, and almost every generation had someone serving as one of the Nine Ministers, the Commandant of Justice.

During the reign of Wu Di of Han, the Commandant of Justice and the Censor-in-Chief were harsh in law enforcement, formulated the "Great Du Code", advocated "deep writing and severe laws", and based on the sixty chapters of the "Han Law", strengthened collective responsibility and cruel punishments.

And during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, in order to adjust the strategy of governing the country and ease the constraints of the severe laws of the Wu and Zhao periods on the people, the laws began to be revised.

Du Yannian, who was then Censor-in-Chief, began to revise the laws. The severe punishments of the "Great Du Code" were revised to be lenient, so history called it the "Small Du Code".

And the revised "Small Du Code" has continued from the Western Han Dynasty to the present.

The Guo clan's generations of studying the "Small Du Code" could be said to be the most authoritative noble family in the Great Han legal system today.

Therefore, in every generation, there were people serving as the Commandant of Justice.

If according to the status of the Guo clan, Duan Yu was just a county lieutenant at the beginning.

Even if he came to Luoyang to be enfeoffed due to public duty, compared to a behemoth like the Guo clan, it was equally insignificant.

Guo Hong naturally had no reason to treat Duan Yu with courtesy.

But Guo Hong not only didn't make things difficult for him in the Wang Gai case, but even pointed him to a clear path.

Now it seems that Guo Hong's choice at that time could not be said to be right, but could only be said to be very right.

Guo Hong smiled and stroked his chin's beard.

This so-called request for advice was undoubtedly the Guo clan's show of goodwill to Duan Yu.

And it was extremely obvious.

It was not the kind of secret association.

Letting Guo Jia visit to ask for advice, with so many eyes of the powerful in Luoyang city, such a thing could not be undiscovered.

But since Guo Hong said so, it showed that Guo Hong was clearly showing goodwill, and was releasing a signal to the outside world.

Whether it was for this kind of goodwill or for his own love for Guo Jia, Duan Yu had no reason to refuse.

"Why not," Duan Yu answered with a smile: "Fengxiao's body really should be exercised well. If you have a grand plan in your heart and high aspirations, you must also have a strong physique."

"As long as Fengxiao is willing, you can go to this Marquis anytime, anywhere."

"Fengxiao, don't thank the Marquis of Ji yet," Guo Hong looked at Guo Jia and said: "The Marquis of Ji is not only superb in martial arts, but his military strategy is also the best in the world. You can get the guidance of the Marquis of Ji, and you will definitely have many uses."

Until this time, little Guo Jia reacted, and then clasped his hands and bowed respectfully to Duan Yu: "Guo Jia thanks the teacher."

Heh...

The corners of Duan Yu's mouth twitched inadvertently.

Good guy.

This trip to Luoyang didn't do anything else, first accepted two disciples.

One Liu Bian doesn't count. ===== CHAPTER 1104 =====
