After Chen Xiaoting was arrested and imprisoned, although the surface remained stable, there was an undercurrent surging inside.

Even if Shen Yue is Chen Xiaoting's father-in-law, he may eventually be released, but it is unlikely that he wants to be reinstated.

This is equivalent to saying that the position of the thousand households in the south city will be vacant, so those who have the opportunity to go further can't help but think about it.

And in the Thousand Households Office in Nancheng, the most likely to go further are the two deputy Thousand Households.

Chen Xiaoting has only served as a thousand households for more than half a year, and although he has subdued all his subordinates, he has not had time to convince people.

Therefore, when Deputy Qianhu Levi began to run the relationship, other Baihu who had ideas also took action.

And the older deputy Qianhu Huang Zonglin completely stayed out of the matter, obviously he was more calm.

Therefore, when the news that Chen Xiaoting was released from the Nansi prison and was promoted to command the affairs of the first rank was returned, the reactions in the thousand households were also different.

Huang Zonglin was as steady as an old dog, and summoned hundreds of his subordinates to congratulate Chen Xiaoting, while Li Wei was unable to hold himself on his face.

He knows what kind of person Chen Xiaoting is, he can't rub a little sand in his eyes, if his actions are known by him, he can't stand the big board smashed down.

"Twenty-five years old, ten years old...... From the bitter cold land in the northwest, he did the command of the Fusi of Beizhen, which ...... What kind of world is this! Levi couldn't help but sigh.

But now he didn't have time to sigh, only to see a general flag coming in from outside the lobby and saying, "My lord, Lord Huang asked when you will leave!" ”

He was sloppy, and Levi complained in his heart.

When he went to see Chen Xiaoting, he really felt empty-hearted, so at this time, it was as uncomfortable as going to the grave.

"Let him wait a minute, and go right away!" Levi replied in a deep voice.

…………

In the afternoon, the Chen Mansion was unusually lively, in stark contrast to the door of a few days ago.

Chen Xiaotingsheng commanded the affairs, and the Jinyi guard was bigger than his official, and he could count a slap.

These people don't have to come to flatter him, but other thousands of households and even hundreds of households, regardless of whether they have crossed paths with Chen Xiaoting or not, have come to his mansion to congratulate him at this time.

One congratulates Chen Xiaoting on his release from prison, and the other congratulates him on his promotion, which can be described as double happiness.

All of these people brought gifts, and there were thirty-four people, making the entire Chen Mansion lively.

It was all a group of big men, and it was inconvenient for Shen Yi and the three of them to show up, so they went into the inner courtyard, and Chen Xiaoting came to deal with these guests alone.

In fact, he didn't have much to deal with, and at this time he sat at the head of the main hall, waiting for every visitor to come and say hello.

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!" A deputy Qianhu said in front of Chen Xiaoting.

This person is Wang Zhongde, deputy of the Thousand Households Office in Beicheng, who was also a sycophant under Chen Xiaoting at the beginning, and later Chen Xiaoting recommended him to be promoted.

In this regard, Chen Xiaoting nodded slightly, there was no need for him to talk more at this time.

At this moment, Huang Zonglin and Li Wei led a group of hundreds of households to arrive.

After placing the gifts, Huang Zonglin and the others entered the room, and under the gaze of thousands of households, they said hello to Chen Xiaoting at the same time.

Picking up the teacup and glancing at these belated subordinates, Chen Xiaoting smiled: "Don't be polite, stay and drink later!" ”

According to Shen Yi's meaning, since there are so many people to congratulate him, he will simply set up a wine banquet at home.

So at this time, the kitchen of Chen's Mansion was more lively than the main hall where Chen Xiaoting was located, and the cooks and servants were preparing a banquet.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoting's face was as usual, Li Wei's face looked better, and he scared himself by himself.

The space in the main hall is limited, so all the officials at the level of hundreds of households consciously go to sit in the courtyard, and tables and chairs have been set up there.

And the thousands of households in the room smashed flattering words at Chen Xiaoting, and this scene made him feel very emotional.

Trapped in a prison and no one asks, once you rise to the top, this is common in any era.

Originally, they were all colleagues, Chen Xiaoting was suddenly promoted to command the affairs at this time, and the three full-time thousands of households present were somewhat awkward in the face of Chen Xiaoting.

But they had to come, no matter who was behind them, they would never dare to offend Chen Xiaoting, who was in the middle of the Holy Family.

After about half an hour, the butler finally came and said, "Master, it's time to start the banquet!" ”

In fact, these people in the hall have nothing to say, and eating and drinking is just the right thing to liven up the atmosphere.

In fact, Chen Xiaoting also wanted to drink it once, so he got up and said, "Everyone...... Then take a seat! ”

The only people who can sit with Chen Xiaoting are the three Zhengqian households of the northern driver, and their tables are set in the middle.

Chen Xiaoting didn't drink badly, and he couldn't bear the dozens of people taking turns to toast, so he directly found an excuse to leave when he was about to drink.

The so-called exit is just that he left Jiu Zhuozi, and the others were still at the scene, setting up a chair alone and sitting on the steps of the courtyard, drinking sobering tea while knocking melon seeds.

The yard is still very lively, and thousands of households are sitting in a group, as if there are endless cows.

"My lord, I'll wait for the three of you to have a drink!"

After the gang of people in the Thousand Households in Beicheng toasted, Pei Lun, Liu Baoquan and Xu Danian appeared in front of Chen Xiaoting with wine.

The three of them were all one of the hundred households that had been to Yongxi with Chen Xiaoting and returned to Beijing before they were promoted, and it was all up to Chen Xiaoting to show their credit, so Chen Xiaoting was kind to the three of them.

"My lord, I offended you before the humble position, and I ask your lord to forgive me!" Pei Lun said separately that it was Chen Xiaoting who he led people to arrest before.

Although it was for official business, although Pei Lun felt that Chen Xiaoting would not be so careful, he still felt that he should make it clear.

Chen Xiaoting picked up the teacup and wrote lightly: "You don't have to be careful, come to ......"

At this time, Pei Lun really put his mind at ease, picked up the wine glass with Liu Xu and the others, and then drank it all.

Of course, Chen Xiaoting would not blame these people, he has now been promoted to command, and he needs to win over more people to secure his position.

Pei Lun and the three were promoted by him, so they were naturally objects that could be relied on, how could he destroy his foundation.

And after they retreated, a fat figure rushed over, this person was Jiao Furong, who was one of the thousands of households in Nancheng.

"My lord, I salute you for your humble duties, these days you have been imprisoned, but you have made your humble duties sad!"

Jiao Furong is a complete villain, he can also be called a speculator, and it is impossible for a person like him to be loyal.

So he was worried about himself, and Chen Xiaoting laughed when he heard it.

"In the future, I will have a good life!" Chen Xiaoting said casually, he had said this many times tonight.

It stands to reason that you should leave after drinking, but Jiao Furong is not like this, but lowers his voice and says: "My lord, these days when you left, our thousands of households are not peaceful!" ”

Chen Xiaoting's expression moved, and he asked, "What happened?" ”

Jiao Furong glanced at a colleague not far away, and then said: "My lord, you have only been gone for two days, and the people of our Qianhu Institute have bad thoughts and go around to run relationships...... Trying to take your place! ”

"Who?" Chen Xiaoting's expression was calm, so that Jiao Furong couldn't grasp his thoughts.

The previous words had already been spoken, so Jiao Furong simply replied: "It's Li Wei, he went to Lu Yishi and gave a big gift!" ”

Jiao Furong finished speaking, and then heard Chen Xiaoting laugh and said: "Li Wei covets the position of a thousand households, don't you also take a fancy to his position as a deputy thousand households?" ”

Hearing this, Jiao Furong's face turned pale, this was indeed his thoughts, but when Chen Xiaoting said it like this, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, of course, it was more likely to be a bad thing.

However, I heard Chen Xiaoting continue: "Do a good job, it's not impossible to be promoted to a deputy thousand households!" ”

Hearing this, Jiao Furong was ecstatic, Chen Xiaoting is now in command, and his words are extremely weighty.

"The humble duty must be done in a down-to-earth manner, and you will not be disappointed!" Jiao Furong immediately knelt down and licked.

And Chen Xiaoting just smiled slightly, and then signaled that he could go down, and did not have any reaction to Li Wei, who was told by Jiao Furong.

Now that he is in a higher position and has a broader vision, there is naturally no need to worry about this little thing with Levi.
