In the evening, Rong Yuanhang took Gao Shenwei and Bao Dazun two nursing homes, plus the four Cailong, found the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple in the west of the city, and after inquiry, I learned that this Yingcui Courtyard is a restaurant, a high-end comprehensive entertainment place integrating sex, food, hotel, and play.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the willows are still around, the breeze is on the shore of the lake, and the evening scene is intoxicating. At this moment, in the elegant seat on the second floor of Yingcui Courtyard, Rong Yuanhang, Tao Chengxi and another man wearing a drag robe are sitting in a compartment, and outside the screen of Luodian rosewood lacquer, you can see the scene of all kinds of dignitaries, red men and green women dining in the hall. The people who can enter and exit here are all rich and powerful people from some famous families, wealthy businessmen, and magnates.

In the compartment, a gilded Boshan furnace rises and smokes, and a light and elegant fragrance refreshes people's hearts. On that couch bed, there were two pretty plays, one holding the pipa and the other plucking the liuqin, singing a song. Rong Yuanhang and the other three men each have a woman, a total of six people, and they are accompanied by wine.

Tao Chengxi's appointment with this person, named Xue Tianding, is the same knowledge of Xianyang Mansion, the official residence is the fifth grade, and Tao Chengxi is the same grade as Tao Chengxi, but Tao Chengxi is a government official, and the family is a state official, and the status of the two is relatively high in Xue Tianding. The authority of the Tongzhi of the prefecture and the city is in charge of the Qing army, patrol and arrest, grain management, agricultural and water conservancy, and horse herding in the tuntian. It is equivalent to the first deputy secretary of the modern municipal party committee, but it has much more power than the deputy secretary.

"Come, I toast the two adults with a glass of wine, and thank you very much for being able to condescend to the affairs of the boy." Rong Yuanhang raised a glass and offered a gift, leaned his neck and drank it all.

Xue Tianding was about fifty years old, and he looked thin, with high eyebrow bones and deep eye sockets. But a pair of eyes are particularly bright, and there is a kind of majestic momentum on his body, which makes Rong Yuanhang wonder if he is a martial arts master?

"Young Master Rong is polite." Xue Tianding touched the two thousand taels of silver tickets that Rong Yuanhang secretly stuffed into his pocket, and was very satisfied. He said with a smile: "Those who support the people are the foundation of their work, and the imperial court vigorously implements the decree of rest and recuperation, increases the number of household registrations, cultivates fields, develops agriculture, and prospers commerce and trade, all of which are good things for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

Xue Tianding looked at Tao Chengxi, thinking that if he didn't look at the silver, he had to look at the face of the East China Sea Palace, so he said: "The prince can be naturalized in my Xianyang Mansion and add taxes to the construction of the city, and the official is very welcome." Tomorrow I will personally come to supervise and send people to your mansion to ascertain the wealth, measure and register, and compile the naturalization register. The matter of emigration can be assured that Prince Rong can rest assured. ”

When Rong Yuanhang heard this, he was overjoyed, and he could finally get his ID card in his heart, and he would not be able to engage in business and develop his own power in the future, which was a foundation.

There are several beautiful women who are as beautiful as flowers to enliven the atmosphere, and the three of them are eating and drinking refreshingly. Suddenly, a figure flickered in the closet, and a woman in a gorgeous brocade dress walked in. She said delicately: "Yo, it turns out that Lord Xue and Master Tao also came to patronize the shop?" What an unexpected delight! ”

Rong Yuanhang raised his eyes and was stunned, and his heart sank - it turned out that the woman in brocade was Jiang Yanyun.

But Jiang Yanyun didn't even look at him, but continued: "It's a coincidence, Master Fei is also here." ”

It turned out that behind her stood a middle-aged man in a dark robe. The man was stinging, rosacea, and square, looking majestic. When Tao Chengxi and Xue Tianding saw the comer, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Tao Chengxi arched his hand and said: "Xiaguan Chengxi has seen Master Fei!" ”

"I don't know if Taizun is coming, and I will miss the late life." Xue Tianding shook respectfully.

It turned out that this man was Fei Yu, the official prefect of Xianyang City. I saw a faint smile on his face, and bowed back: "Brother Xu, Master Tao is also here." Not...... Who is this man? He pointed at Rong Yuanhang and asked.

When Jiang Yanyun brought this person over, Rong Yuanhang felt bad. I thought she should have come here on purpose to find the ballast, right? Now when I hear it, the other party is actually a high-ranking official of the prefect, which is equivalent to the secretary of the municipal party committee! It is obvious that this woman found a backer to deal with Xue Dingtian. The so-called officials crush people to death at the first level, not to mention that they are still the top bosses?

But Rong Yuanhang still stood up, squeezed out a faint smile on his face and said, "Boy Rong Yuanhang, meet the prefect!" ”

"Taizun, he is a person from the Southern Ganbu Continent of the Northern Continent, and it is difficult for Brother Rong to return to his hometown due to a shipwreck, so he petitions to be naturalized in my Yangxian Mansion City, and he is willing to be a citizen of the court, and he will also consider it as appropriate to pass it in his later life, this is not yet time to submit it to you Taizun."

"Nonsense!" Fei Yu's face changed suddenly, he glared at Xue Tianding and said, "This person has a strange origin, and he is from the Southern Ganbu Continent, have you sent someone to verify it?" Didn't you? What would you do if it was an enemy country? Recently, the Fuqi barbarians have frequently harassed my coastal counties, if these pirates come to attack my Xianyang City, can you afford it? ”

"This, this ......" Xue Tianding trembled when he questioned him, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or angry, look at Rong Yuanhang and Tao Chengxi, don't help Rong Yuanhang, and received two thousand taels of silver from others, help talk, and offend the top boss, I couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"Master Fei, you're talking too much, aren't you?" At this time, Tao Chengxi stood up and said: "Gongzi Rong is the guarantor of the lord of Baojia County, although the origin cannot be confirmed, it can never be a spy, let alone endanger the defense and security of the city." ”

"Well, of course this government believes in Lord Baojia," Fei Yu said thoughtfully, "but since it can't be confirmed that his origin is inappropriate, I am afraid it is not appropriate to let him become a naturalized citizen." It remains to be considered that it would be better to see how sincere he is in his city. ”

"This ......" Tao Chengxi's purple-colored face suddenly turned black. Although he knows that he and his master are not all the way, but now he is **naked and does not give face.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean by sincerity?" Rong Yuanhang asked in a deep voice. He glared at Jiang Yanyun, expecting that this woman was the one who was doing it, but if he wanted to stay in Xianyang City and develop, he had to pass this level, and now he could only endure it in limited circumstances.

Fei Yu grinned and said: "The official examination is about to be completed, but the government is short of finances, and it is difficult to continue the money and food, and the difference in tax amount is 500,000 taels - gold, if the Prime Minister can help with one-tenth, solve this urgent need." The official will invite the ministry to bring you into the official register, what does the prime minister think? ”

One tenth, that's fifty thousand taels of gold! Rong Yuanhang calculates a little, even if you go to Hyundai to buy, it will cost more than 550 million yuan! He couldn't help but sneer, is it worth it in order to get a chicken-like household registration? However, he didn't have a seizure in the spot, knowing that this was a trap set up by Jiang Yanyun, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Fifty thousand taels of gold? The adults laughed, I'm just a small people, how can I afford 50,000 taels of gold? ”

Fei Yu's face sank, "No?" Like you and other homeless people, who have no contribution to the city, what is the use of asking you to become naturalized? ”

Speaking of this, he stretched out his finger and compared: "In three days, if you can get 50,000 taels, then you are one of the common people of Xianyang City. Speaking of this, he arched his hand to Tao and Xue again, and walked away without saying a word. Jiang Yanyun glanced at Rong Yuanhang with a sneer on his face, and then followed with his head held high.

"Smack!" Tao Chengxi slapped the table, frightened the wine girls all together, and said hatefully: "This, he is making a big fuss!" ”

"Young Master Rong." Xue Tianding's face was dead, he took out four silver tickets of five hundred taels and handed them over, and said, "I'm ashamed, there is nothing the official can do about this." ”

Rong Yuanhang didn't answer, and said: "There is no reason to return the things I sent, Lord Xu, I don't blame you for this." It should be my filial piety silver, as long as you can provide some small care in the future, Rong Yuanhang will be grateful. ”

"Ahh Xue Tianding clutched the silver ticket in his hand, in fact, he was very reluctant to spit out the fat in his mouth, since Rong Yuanhang said so, he took it into his arms.

The more Rong Yuanhang thought about it, the more angry he became, was there any way to repair this prefect? So he asked, "Lord Xu, what did the prefect mean by the completion of the exam just now?" ”

Xue Tianding thought for a while and said: "This is a long story, officials in the world have to be assessed by the imperial court every few years, but if there are unqualified people, they will be demoted or suspended from salary, and even retired. ”

Rong Yuanhang's heart moved, and asked, "What about the content of the assessment?" ”

Xue Tianding looked at him, originally disdainful of saying it, but after receiving other people's money, he felt ashamed, so he briefly clarified: "The assessment is based on the document of the incumbent instructions, and taking this as the key link is nothing more than morality, knowledge, and intelligence. Whether there are those who are unscrupulous or greedy and cruel, the most important thing is to see whether the local money and food are in arrears and difficult to collect, if it can be completed, the basic promotion is expected. ”

"Hehe," he and Tao Chengxi glanced at each other, and said with a sneer: "But as long as you are willing to spend money, then the language of the examination will be all the words of the Great Sage, Chuanyue Fengyun, and Bingyu Linfeng, and it is not the same as the rich world?" ”

"Virtue and character!" Rong Yuanhang's eyes lit up, what are you most afraid of as an official? The most afraid is that everyone will scold and scold! How many modern officials have been defeated by the peachy news?

"Lao Tzu also gave him the whole peachy news!" The more Rong Yuanhang thought about it, the more excited he became: if the nude photos of the prefect were hung high on the city wall for all the people to enjoy, haha, that scene must be very interesting! And doing this, compared to himself, is not very difficult, you can only secretly shoot successfully, and even only steal and photograph a positive face of the prefect, you can move flowers and trees, carry out god P, and make him unsightly. (Today is Mother's Day, I wish all mothers in the world happiness!) ）
