The arrival of the new Zhizhou was faster than Lin Jian expected, and it only took ten days for the new Zhizhou Cheng Jingzong to take office in Yuezhou.

This new Lord Zhizhou was originally a foreigner under the command of Kang Donglai of Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an City, and his grade was from the sixth grade.

The grade of Zhizhou is generally from the fifth grade, because Yuezhou is relatively wealthy, the official quality of Zhizhou is the fifth grade official, and he was transferred from the staff to the governor of Yuezhou, nominally he was promoted a lot, but the Beijing official was transferred to the local official, in fact, this promotion is not large.

If it is a foreigner with real power in the six ministries, and he is transferred to the local governor, it can only be regarded as a demotion to the official, but fortunately, the real power of the Ministry of Industry is not too heavy, and this transfer can barely be regarded as a flat transfer.

When Cheng Zhizhou arrived, the officials from Yuezhou went out of the city for more than ten miles to greet each other, and respectfully welcomed the Zhizhou Lord to the Yuezhou City.

If it is an official with no background, he will be transferred to a rich place like Yuezhou as a magistrate, and these local snakes will certainly give face, but in the shadows they may not really buy it, but this Cheng Zhizhou is the wife and brother of General Kang, and the most favored concubine in Chang'an City can climb the relationship!

In the entire Yuezhou City, in addition to the officials, the squires with heads and faces all went to the Taibai Building to greet the new Lord Zhizhou.

Cheng Jingzong is a middle-aged man less than forty years old, not tall, with a beautiful mustache, surrounded by a group of people in the middle, hearing the sound of whiskers and horses around him, Cheng Zhizhou couldn't help but be a little fluttering.

When he was in Chang'an City, he was working under Kang Donglai, the second master of the Kang family, although when others saw him, they would also call Cheng Yuanwai, but after all, he was not the main master, and others came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Works, most of them to see Kang Donglai, the main master, and few people would take care of him.

But at this time, surrounded by a group of people in the middle, Cheng Jingzong suddenly felt that he had become the protagonist, and secretly said in his heart.

"Being angry everywhere in Chang'an City, where is there to be happy here?"

He was also born in a small family, married the daughter of the Kang family, and was naturally angry at home, and life in Chang'an City was not easy.

After being proud, Cheng Jingzong still remembered that before he came, Kang Dong came to explain his affairs, and immediately raised his wine glass, and said with a smile to the nearby officials and squires: "Cheng Mou has just arrived in your place, and he will be taken care of by you more in the future." ”

"Lord Zhizhou is too polite."

The squires hurriedly got up, raised their wine glasses and said with a smile to Cheng Jingzong: "We are all people under the rule of Cheng Zhizhou, and we have to rely on Cheng Zhizhou to take care of it, where do you dare to take care of Lord Zhizhou......

Cheng Jingzong stood up at this time, and after a glass of wine, he looked left and right, and asked with a smile: "When Cheng was still in Chang'an, I heard that the treasure land of Yuezhou, with outstanding people, is the place where Jiangnan culture and culture gather, and it is also a world-famous scholar like Lin Shilang. ”

"Lin Shilang's talent, Cheng has admired him for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to see him, I don't know if today, with the Lin family present, can I recommend Cheng?"

Naturally, it was impossible for the Lin family to be present.

Everyone knows that Cheng Jingzong is Kang Donglai's brother-in-law, and the Lin family's Lin Shilang also wrote an article not long ago to scold Kang Donglai, and there are political enemies in the court on both sides.

After hearing Cheng Jingzong's words, the people present all muttered to themselves in their hearts.

This is not far away for Cheng Zhizhou, from Chang'an City to Yuezhou to be an official, and it really has other plans!

No one spoke, Lu Ding of Shanyin Zhixian County coughed, smiled at Cheng Zhizhou and said: "Today, the envoy arrived, in order not to disturb the people, the lower officials and others did not alarm too many people, so no one from the Lin family was present, please forgive me." ”

Twenty years ago, the governors of each continent were not called Zhizhou, but called Thorn History, generally known as the envoy, until the reform 20 years ago, it was renamed Zhizhou, but the name of the place was still not changed, and Zhizhou was still called the envoy.

This Lu Zhixian said this in order to give a step down on both sides, not only so that the Lin family would not offend Zhizhou, but also give Cheng Jingzong a face, this is the most basic speech in officialdom, and ordinary people can hear the meaning as soon as they hear it.

But Cheng Zhizhou obviously didn't understand, he smiled and said: "Cheng has been in charge of Lin Shilang for a long time, since he has the honor to guard Yuezhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it happens that Lin Shilang is also in his hometown, how can he not go to visit?" ”

"In this way, I'll go to the Lin family and visit this Lin Shilang."

As soon as this sentence came out, all officials, including Lu Ding, secretly frowned.

Whether it is Kang Dongping or Lin Yuanda, neither of them can afford to offend, if Cheng Jingzong really had a conflict with Lin Jian in the Lin family, they really don't know how to deal with themselves.

This newcomer to Zhizhou is also, as soon as he takes office, he will go to the Lin family to cause trouble.

After all, Cheng Jingzong was the chief official, and when he opened his mouth, these subordinates naturally did not dare to disobey, so after eating, the group walked towards Xingwenfang together.

But at this time, only the officials of the yamen in Yuezhou were left, and most of the gentry in Yuezhou had already left, and they were unwilling to get involved in this troublesome matter.

After all, the Lin family of Yuezhou is also a local squire in Yuezhou, and they are all villagers in the township, and Lin Jian is one of the prides of the locals in Yuezhou at this time, and these squires are naturally unwilling to follow Cheng Jingzong to the Lin family to make trouble.

After the group arrived at the Lin family, Lu Ding, the county governor of Shanyin, stepped forward and let people report that the yamen officials at all levels had arrived, and the Lin family was naturally not easy to see, as a parent, Lin Sizheng and a group of family members rushed to the gate and bowed to Cheng Jingzong.

"Yuezhou Lin, meet Cheng Zhizhou."

"No need to be polite, old gentleman."

Cheng Jingzong stretched out his hand to help Lin Sizheng up, smiling: "Cheng Mou also worked in the Yamen of the Six Ministries in the past, and he was still a subordinate of Yuan Dagong, and now he is fortunate to know Yuezhou, and he has come to visit Lin Shilang." ”

"I don't know if Yuan Dagong is at home?"

Lin Sizheng frowned slightly, then lowered his head and said: "Back to the envoy, my family Qilang is not at home at this time, it should be unfortunate that he went out to visit friends, and the labor envoy Jun ran in vain, and when Qilang came back, the old man must let Qilang go to the Zhizhou Mansion to visit the envoy." ”

"Where is the reason why Yuanda pays homage to Cheng?"

Cheng Jingzong shook his head again and again, and said: "Cheng is a subordinate official and a junior, so naturally Cheng should visit Yuan Dagong, it doesn't matter if Yuan Dagong is not at home, Cheng will wait in your mansion." ”

He smiled: "The old gentleman doesn't send Cheng this cup of tea?" ”

"It's not bad."

Lin Sizheng got out of the way and bowed slightly: "As long as you don't dislike it, it's fine." ”

Cheng Jingzong laughed, took a group of subordinate officials, and strode into the Lin family's mansion.

And Lin Sizheng walked behind him, one position behind, and whispered to the people beside him: "Go to Daiyuan to inform Yuanda, tell him that the new Zhizhou Lai is not leaving at home, and see what he means." ”

The subordinate hurriedly bowed his head and hurriedly walked towards the Daiyuan, at this time Lin Jian was still reading in the Daiyuan, and after hearing the subordinate's report, Lin Yuanda frowned slightly.

"What's the reason why this guy is in such a hurry to come to see me?"

Since the two sides are political enemies, under normal circumstances, after Cheng Jingzong arrives, he should turn a blind eye to the Lin family, and there is no reason to be so affectionate.

Lin Jian thought for a while, and then said to his subordinates: "You go to report to the uncle, just say that I will see him in half an hour." ”

The subordinate said yes and hurriedly ran down.

Lin Yuanda turned to look at Zhao Ji and said, "Brother Zhao, there will be no danger on my side, you take someone to the vicinity of San Lang, so that you can protect him and his family." ”

"By the way, tell him ......"

Lin Jian's voice was hoarse.

"Let him be careful."
