Yunzhong County is not far from Datong Mansion, and it can be reached in half an hour by horseback.

After Xie Zhi, Wang Shouren and Zhu Houzhao rode all the way into Datong Mansion, they went straight to the mansion.

It's just a time after lunch, and it's still early after dark.

Before arriving at the government office, Xie Zhi dismounted and handed over his name to the messenger on duty in front of the door, indicating his identity.

It stands to reason that Yunzhong is under the jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture, and Xie Zhi has been with the Datong Prefect since he took office.

Xie Zhi made such a big move in the clouds before he came, it was a little late.

But it's not the turn of this errand to have such an attitude, right?

The officer was not polite in the slightest, and said coldly: "Wait..."

After dropping such a sentence, he went directly to the mansion.

"Why is this officer so attitude?" Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfied.

Xie Zhi spread his hands and said: "The king of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult." ”

After waiting for about a stick of incense, a person walked out of the yali.

Naturally, Xie Zhi would never have thought that the prefect would come out to greet him in person.

This person walked directly to Xie Zhi's side and arched his hand: "Xie Zhixian, right?" Under Liu Mingming, he is the master of the Wu Prefect's Mansion. ”

The master has no establishment, and is only equivalent to a staff member.

Xie Zhi arched his hand and responded, saying, "It turned out to be Master Liu, fortunately, fortunately..."

Liu Zhizhi replied with a smile: "Young Master Xie Zhixian is talented, I have heard about it a long time ago, and Governor Wu has been looking forward to meeting Xie Zhixian, but unfortunately it has been delayed for so long..."

Liu Mingzhi didn't look at the smile when he said this, the meaning is obvious, isn't it just that he is too late to come to the meeting?

Xie Zhi also smiled and apologized: "This matter is Xie Mou's responsibility, Yu Li, Xie Mou should have come to visit Wu Zhifu a long time ago, but it is a pity that Xie Mou has just entered the officialdom, many things are difficult to deal with properly, the county has been busy until now, and it is not easy to get free, later, when I see Wu Prefect's Mansion, Xie Mou should make amends, and in the future, it will have to be Wu Prefect's Mansion to carry it more." ”

Xie Zhi's posture was lowered when he said this, and Liu Zhizhi didn't make it difficult anymore, and directly arched his hand: "Please..."

Xie Zhi raised his feet and left, followed by Wang Shouren and Zhu Houzhao.

After all, it is a government office, and its magnificence is still stronger than that of the county government.

After Xie Zhi and the three of them followed Liu Mingming to the main hall, a maid immediately served tea.

"Xie Zhixian, the three of you will go down and invite Governor Wu to come in a moment."

After Liu Mingzhi left, Zhu Houzhao got up and walked around the hall.

After a few turns, he sat down restlessly.

I've been waiting for about half an hour, and I haven't seen the shadow of the government alone.

Not to mention the prefect of Datong, even Liu Mingming is gone.

You must know that it only took them half an hour to get from the clouds to Datong Mansion, and now they are sitting in the hall and it has directly used half an hour.

Not only Zhu Houzhao, but also Xie Zhi and Wang Shouren were a little impatient.

"Why don't we go back first?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Wang Shouren said: "Wait a little longer. ”

This is obviously because Xie Zhi didn't pay a visit at the first time, and there was such a big movement in the clouds, and he didn't say hello to them, he deliberately cooled them here, they left now, and the half an hour they had been waiting for was all in vain.

After waiting for another stick of incense, there was finally a sound of footsteps outside.

Wang Shouren said softly and said, "It's coming..."

After hearing the sound of footsteps, Xie Zhi and the others immediately sat up straight on the chairs.

After a moment's effort, Liu Zhizhi accompanied a rather mellow man in.

Xie Zhi immediately got up and arched his hand: "This is Governor Wu, right?" Xia Guan Xie Zhi has seen Wu Zhifu. ”

The name of the prefect of Datong is Wu Yongfu, and he has been the prefect of Datong Mansion for more than ten years.

Although Datong Mansion is one of the nine stops, the geographical location is extremely important, as an official here, as long as you use a little heart, seize an opportunity to prosper all the way.

But this Wu Yongfu has been the prefect here for more than ten years.

Wu Yongfu replied with a smile: "Xie Zhixian is good-looking, erudite and talented, he must be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and his future is limitless." ”

After Wu Yongfu's words of admiration came out, he walked past Xie Zhi to the main seat.

As he walked to Xie Zhi's side, a strange fragrance spread around him.

The taste of rouge that women only use, and there is more than one...

Nima, Xie Zhi thought that Wu Yongfu didn't come to see him for a long time to cool him down.

It turned out that this Wu Yongfu was not in the government at all, and he was contaminated with rouge for most of the day, and this prefect did it very distinctively.

How about Wu Yongfu, Xie Zhi just passed through his mind for a while, and there was not much change on the surface.

After Wu Yongfu sat down, Xie Zhi continued: "It stands to reason that the lower officials should visit the Wu Governor's Mansion when they arrive in the clouds. ”

Immediately, Xie Zhi called Wang Shouren and said, "Wang Xiancheng, report what has happened in the county in the past few days to Governor Wu." ”

Wang Shouren briefly talked about what happened in the clouds according to Xie Zhi's words.

Of course, they can all be put on the surface, as for what method Xie Zhi used, this matter is not enough for outsiders.

After Wang Shouren's introduction, Xie Zhi said apologetically: "Governor Wu, the lower official still has to make a gift, the lower official thought that he could quickly deal with the matter in the clouds, so he reported the official complaint directly to the imperial court, and the lower official knew that the Yue Jie..."

Before Xie Zhi finished speaking, Liu Mingzhi on the side shouted: "Report directly to the imperial court, what qualifications do you have to report directly to the imperial court?" ”

Wu Yongfu not only did not blame Xie Zhi according to Liu Zhiming's words, but blamed Liu Zhizhi, and said: "This government can also understand Xie Zhixian's behavior, report to this government, and this government has to go to Shanxi to report to the inspection envoy, and it has been delayed a lot of time, Xie Zhixian is the son of Xie Gong, and it is more appropriate for this matter to be reported to the court by Xie Gong's hand, as long as it is beneficial to the court and the people, anything can be done." ”

Anyway? Xie Zhi reported directly to the imperial court, which can be regarded as disrespectful to Wu Yongfu.

It's normal for Wu Yongfu to lose his temper, but it's not normal if it's not painful.

Although Xie Zhi was suspicious in his heart, he showed admiration, and said: "Governor Wu is so generous, the lower officials admire, the lower officials have just entered the officialdom, and the Wu Governor's Mansion is so socially minded and loves the people like a son, that is the guiding light on the road to the sea of the lower officials." ”

After saying these words, Xie Zhi felt that the pores on his body were standing up.

Wu Yongfu laughed and said: "Xie Zhixian's mouth is like a hanging river, and it will be smooth sailing with the officialdom in the future, Master Liu, prepare wine and food, and let Xie Zhixian stay for dinner." ”

The Tao is not the same, Xie Zhi felt that he and Wu Yongfu's people couldn't drink together.

Immediately, he got up and refused: "Thank you Governor Wu, it's just that the affairs of the county are busy, and the next time I have the opportunity to spend money in the Governor Wu." ”

Xie Zhi wanted to leave, but Wu Yongfu did not force him to stay, "Master Liu, send it to Xie Zhixian." ”

Bidding farewell to Liu Zhizhi in front of the yamen, Zhu Houzhao said: "This Wu Yongfu is quite generous, is this matter over?" ”

Zhu Hou's vision for taking care of people is really bad enough.

Wang Shouren then replied: "This Wu Yongfu is not a person who does practical things, and he can get by in the prosperous world, but if he needs to make a big effort, it may be difficult to do it." ”

Wang Shouren's view is similar to Xie Zhi's.

Xie Zhi restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "This Wu Yongfu is good enough, and he will be stained with the smell of rouge all over his body in broad daylight." ”

Zhu Houzhao asked rhetorically: "Have you gone to the Fengyue place?" ”

Xie Zhi was noncommittal.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "It may also be someone's wife and concubine." ”

Xie Zhi glanced at the stupid Zhu Houzhao and said, "Isn't that rouge smell one or the other, your wife and concubine use so much rouge at once?" ”

It seems that it is the right choice to bring Zhu Houzhao out.

has been staying in the deep palace, but he can't be an emperor.

After Xie Zhi answered, Zhu Houzhao scratched his head and asked, "Why didn't you smell it?" ”

......

After Liu Zhizhi sent Xie Zhi and the three of them left, they returned to the main hall.

"All gone?" Wu Yongfu asked rhetorically with a teacup.

Liu Zhizhi replied: "Send it away." ”

Immediately afterwards, he said: "Xie Zhi really has some ability, he took down the Ma family in less than half a month, and brought Yang Taihe out by the way, I have long said that the Ma family is so excessive, sooner or later something will happen, but this time the prefect must have a mistake of negligence." ”

Wu Yongfu replied without moving: "There is no substantive involvement with Yunzhong, the name of this mansion is clean, but it is just a negligence that can't help this mansion, and if you take the Ma family's things, you can't take any risks, right?" ”
