Gao pragmatic said these words with great ease, but Huang Ma heard it with a numb scalp.

In fact, he had long known that Cen Ling was coming with Gao Jitai this time, and with Cen Ling's relationship with him, it was impossible not to slander himself in front of Gao Jitai, but he didn't expect Gao Jitai to give him a dismount in person.

Anyway, this is Lingyun City!

Could it be that Gao Zhitai thought that he would be able to walk sideways in Lingyun City by relying on the three hundred family members behind him and Cen Ling's three hundred personal guard wolf soldiers? Or is he not aware of it at all?

Or was he just trying to show the majesty of the patrol, essentially just to warn himself?

Huang Ma is a character who can endure for many years and suddenly launch a "coup" after deceiving Cen Shaoxun's trust, the situation is unclear at the moment, although Gao Xun's attitude is cold, after all, there is no obvious murderous intention, Huang Ma has a lot of thoughts, and finally bows his head again and asks for guilt: "The lower official is guilty." ”

This time, he really didn't dare to say anything about the crime that deserved to die.

Gao pragmatic glanced at the wolf soldiers on the road ahead, obviously they were all a little angry, although they were kneeling, they all secretly looked over here.

Looking at Huang Ma, who was soft again, Gao Pragmatic said lightly: "Since you are guilty, let's get up first, and don't talk too fast in front of this press in the future." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "I want to inspect Quangui according to the regulations, what we want to see is whether the local officials abide by the law and act in accordance with the imperial court system, and other things should not be asked, do you know?" ”

Huh, what does this mean?

Huang Ma quietly glanced up in some surprise, but saw that Gao Pragmatic's gaze was looking towards Cen Ling at the moment. Huang Ma couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and said secretly: It seems that it was Cen Ling who instigated Gao Zhitai to take me under the knife, but Gao Zhitai didn't seem to want to do much, so he only warned me, and at the same time expressed his meaning to Cen Ling.

Ha, I'll just say, Cen Shaoxun's matter, no matter how you say it, it's just Sicheng's internal affairs, why should Gao Zhitai help Cen Ling? This is not at all in line with the consistent practice of the imperial court, and it makes no sense!

Isn't the consistent style of the imperial court all about restricting the toast and supporting the tumu, and the tusha and the tusi to compete for power?

It seems that this Gao Jitai is just such a coy attitude in front of me because of Cen Ling's feelings, and his most fundamental attitude has not changed, and he still does not want to interfere in the internal affairs of my Sicheng Prefecture.

In that case, you might as well give him some face, hum...... Civil service.

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials must abide by the rules and the law, and cooperate with the patrol according to the platform." Huang Ma put on that honest appearance again and responded in a proper manner.

Gao Pragmatic nodded with satisfaction, but he still looked like Lao Tzu was invincible in the world, dragging it like two hundred and fifty or eighty thousand, and said lightly: "Get up, lead the way in front of your head." ”

He said "get up", I don't know if he said it to Huang Ma alone, or to the seven major earths, but everyone pretended to know it, so when they heard this, they all quickly got up, but fortunately, Gao Jitai didn't say anything more.

Huang Ma was deflated just now, and the others didn't want to understand how big Gao Jietai's temper was, so he honestly bowed down and stood aside, not daring to say more than half a sentence.

Gao pragmatic waited for Huang Ma to lead the way in front, but he didn't even get off the horse, patted the horse's buttocks lightly, and walked forward slowly, he didn't even tell the family to dismount.

In this way, Huang Ma and others led the way, because Gao Pragmatic did not get off the horse, he looked like a subordinate who led the horse and drooped in stirrups, how could there be any earthy style?

But since Huang Ma endured it, the wolf soldiers under his command had to follow dejectedly, how could there be any momentum at all?

There was nothing to say all the way, and the group gradually went up the mountain. Only when I went up the mountain did I know the magic of Lingyun City, it turned out that this city was really as Cen Ling said before, there was a river through the city, and after passing the city, the river slowly flowed down the mountain.

The magic of this city is really rare, and from this situation, it is not easy for this Lingyun City to be besieged to death, unless it is poisoned on a large scale. But this kind of thing is too inhumane at first, and it's actually very difficult to do - how many toxic sources do you have to pollute a river and keep it toxic?

No wonder Huang Ma was fearless, and even almost collapsed just now.

Entering the city, a large number of large and small Tusi in Guixi have already been waiting in the state office, and Huang Ma has already arranged for Cen Shaoxun to "recuperate in illness", naturally he is not in the state office, and the state government is just vacant to receive Gao Xun Press and the Tusi.

When facing the toast, Gao pragmatic attitude is better than just now, although he is still reserved and still holding the shelf, but at least he is not forever expressionless.

The Tusi have long been accustomed to the virtues of the civil officials of the imperial court, especially the young patrol lord like Gao Pragmatic, in their opinion, a little temper is also a matter of course, but they don't feel wrong at all, they have stepped forward to introduce themselves, and Gao Pragmatic greeted them according to the rules - of course, he is a Shangguan, and it will be over when he sits and answers.

Cen Ling and Huang Ma have never spoken, they rarely even look at each other in the air, and occasionally their eyes intersect, and they all snort coldly and turn their faces away, with a look of "I don't want to see you", and they really look at each other with disgust.

After everyone met, Gao Pragmatic really took the inspection seriously, and ordered the Tusi to pick out an important brief description of the situation of their own governance, and presented some files to Gao Pragmatic for review.

In fact, their files are pitiful, and where the court officials are in charge, basically most of the things are recorded in the files, and it is very convenient to verify, but these toasts are different, whether the records are recorded or not depends on the mood, after all, the court did not check in the past.

Fortunately, Gao Pragmatic didn't plan to really find out anything from the case files and files, and after accepting these files, he deduced that he was tired from the journey, and he would come here for the time being today, and he would ask you to come to inquire about other things one by one tomorrow.

Huang Ma hurriedly came out of the queue and said that he had prepared a reception banquet, please press the stage and all the toast masters to move, although Lingyun City is not in Zhizhou today, but still have to do the friendship of the landlord.

Gao Pragmatic seemed to expect this scene, and agreed easily, and did not make any more mistakes, which made Huang Ma, who had been a little nervous in his heart, very relieved.

However, the size of the high pragmatic shelf still made Huang Ma a little annoyed, because this patrol press even went to eat, and there was a big gang of family members hugging him, which was inexplicable.

However, a person behind him explained to him with a smile: "Eldest brother don't worry, the younger brother heard someone say when he went to Guilin last time that this Gao Xun is very rich in his family, not to mention his own net worth of millions, and his uncle is even more powerful - Changlu Salt Farm is his uncle's family, eldest brother, this is a transaction of millions of taels of silver a year." ”

Huang Ma was really surprised: "Millions? In the land of Sicheng Prefecture, how much silver is the various tributes in a year? ”

How much silver? Sicheng Prefecture is the state of Tuzhili, every three years to the imperial court to present sixteen horses, each horse into twenty-four taels of silver; Silver incense burner paid in full; Every year, 1,646 stone and nine buckets of grain are paid, and they are shipped to Pennsylvania Changping, and each stone is converted into seven dollars of silver.

If you add it together, it is less than 1,300 taels a year, and even if you add a silver incense burner or something, it will be more than 1,400 taels of silver. The only thing worth mentioning is that the horse is not a war horse, but a special bantam horse in Yunnan, Guangxi and other places, eat less and much dryer, but also very tame, very easy to use in the mountains, the only deficiency is that this kind of horse is not very good to be used as a war horse.

Therefore, the purchase and sale of millions of taels of silver, Huang Ma, who has never seen anything in the world, naturally feels trembling when he listens to it, and then thinks that Gao Xun's family is so rich, and the pomp is bigger, it really should, if he is so rich as Huang Someone, then he has to go out with a carpet?

He no longer doubted, and honestly led the way to the place where the banquet was held.
