When Wang Lanling approached the reception room, the attention of the audience shifted from the unpleasantness between Shanzhou and Muzhou to him.

"Your Excellency!"

Tian Yuanfang, Hu Guiqiao and others saluted unanimously when Wang Lanling came in.

Wang Lanling nodded, and looked at the three people wearing feather crowns on their heads.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated, I was reading upstairs earlier, and I heard the quarrel, since I came to find me, then naturally I am welcome."

Wang Lanling said and looked at Hu Guiqiao again, "Return to the bridge, cut the watermelon and give it to you." ”

"Yes!" Hu Guiqiao walked to the table in the center of the room, and used the equipped watermelon knife to face the freshly washed green-skinned watermelon.

The young man saw that Wang Lanling's aura was extraordinary, and quickly said: "You are Wang Lanling, just like others say, you are a character." ”

Wei Biao felt that these Shanzhou people were too arrogant, and said angrily: "How can you judge at will, my lord? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm famous, and someone comes here, so I should be happy." Wang Lanling stopped Wei Biao's rudeness, and said to the three of them: "I also want to know, what the people say about me, I know that there are some things that are not good to say in person." ”

The young man quickly said happily: "They said that you were majestic and a good official, and they also said that you scolded those dog officials and made the cloud talent in the county eat!" ”

Wang Lanling looked at this person very seriously, "Don't say anything about the evaluation of those people in the county, I also have displeasure with those people, but these are the periods between me and them, whether it is to ridicule or slander them, it should be my and their business, and it has nothing to do with Heishui County, the Environmental Sanitation Department, and the people of Shanzhou." ”

"There are some things that I prefer to say to my face, scold them to my face, say to my face that those people are not, and happily slander people behind my back, and gossip is not done by heroes."

When the young man heard Wang Lanling say this, he didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know whether to continue or not to speak.

Wang Lanling said politely: "Please sit down, in Xia Wang Lanling, haven't asked the names of the three yet?" ”

The young man sat down, sat down in his seat and said, "Xiong Qing! ”

Wang Lanling looked at the two people behind the young man again, "What about these two?" ”

"Bear Wind!"

"Xiong Yun!"

Wang Lanling said: "The three are relatives of Shanzhou officials and businessmen, last time I was in charge of conscription, and I was stationed outside the city with more than 20,000 people. ”

Xiong Qing quickly said: "I know this, my father wants them to talk to the county order, the official words of the county order are awkward, and people can't speak, I came out when I heard the annoyance, and I heard that there was a character here in Heishui County on the way, and I wanted to see it." ”

Wang Lanling roughly determined the identities of these people, and followed his words: "I do have some voices in the local area, but in the county town, it is notorious, and the people who have benefited me praise me, and the people who have offended me scold me, but that's it." ”

Xiong Qing asked: "I heard that not many people have received benefits, praising you for your meritorious work in controlling the water, and scolding the incompetent governor to death, making him commit suicide in shame, so you ask everyone to borrow money, and everyone is willing to lend you." ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "I see, have the rumors outside been distorted to this point?" The governor was not scolded to death by me, I did scold him for being incompetent, and scolded him for being a dog official who disregarded the people, but his suicide was mainly a desperate end, and it had something to do with me, but he did not commit suicide in shame after being scolded. ”

"It's all the same!" Xiong Qing didn't have so many ideas, he felt the same, and said with a smile: "You are not very old, you are strangely modest, like a dead book." ”

Wang Lanling and this kind of unruly people can't explain clearly, their brains and ways of thinking won't understand things that are too complicated, not right for people, not for things.

Whoever is good to them is a good person, and whoever is bad to them is a wicked person.

Good people should let them, and they shouldn't be careful.

The wicked deserve to die, and it doesn't matter how much you bully the wicked, because those are bad and deserve to die.

Shanzhou and Yunzhou are two places, and Shanzhou and Muzhou are two more situations.

"My lord, eat melons." Hu Guiqiao sent the cut watermelon up.

Wang Lanling took a tooth of watermelon, "Just leave half of it here, return to the bridge and go about your business, and repay the borrowed money from some of the remaining families who are not rich before the winter, so that they can spend the winter well." ”

"Yes!" Hu Guiqiao agreed, put the watermelon on the table between Wang Lanling and Xiong Qing, and then turned to leave.

Xiong Qing because of Wang Lanling's relationship, although he did not speak ill of him, he still said: "The people of Muzhou are treacherous and repeated, you have to be careful." ”

Wang Lanling said directly: "Although Guiqiao and Santu are after being demoted, they are like arms to me, they have lived in Yunzhou for many years, and they have worked diligently under me, how can I favor one over the other?" ”

Ye Jiuchuan also didn't have a good impression of these Shanzhou people, Hu Guiqiao was a comrade-in-arms who had worked with them, and of course he was different from Xiong Qing, who was stunned.

"The people of Muzhou have been treacherous repeatedly, and some Shanzhou people are no better, and now the director of the Water Affairs Department is not the one who betrayed the adults and became dogs before he was promoted?!"

Everyone knows who Ye Jiuchuan is talking about, no matter what Liu Fufeng has done, those people in the county town and the people in Heishui County are all from Shanzhou and can't be changed.

The people of Yunshui County look down on him, and the people of Heishui County also spit on this kind of person, and the place where he can be majestic is probably only the place of the Liu family.

Xiong Qing felt that it was not good to say this, he explained: "It's different, that person is not from Shanzhou, outside Shanzhou, after the mouth of the mountain cliff is Shanzhou." ”

Tian Yuanfang sneered and said: "Then you say, we, the people of Heishui County, and Lord Wang, are we from Shanzhou or Yunzhou?" ”

Coming, coming, regional knights, sure enough, no matter what era, whether it is a rural county or something, people can always divide themselves into factions.

Xiong Qing is hard to speak, in fact, according to the Shanzhou people, the people of Heishui County are not Shanzhou people, these are foreign garrison immigrants, and even the words are learned from Shanzhou, not orthodox mountain people.

But Wang Lanling is a character, after Xiong Qing's father and others learned about Wang Lanling, they all said that Wang Lanling was from Shanzhou, so it was not clear.

"Eat melons, eat melons." Wang Lanling said politely: "Don't divide others all day long, after this watermelon is cut, whether it is a big petal or a small petal, it is a watermelon. ”

Wang Lanling said politely, bowed his head and ate melons, ignoring these regional knights.
