Chapter 8: Entering the City (2)

Today's second update, the brothers' collection and flowers will make Yun Ming's code for ten hours a day very easy! )

The Yamen of the City Department was very lively today, and several officials knelt on the ground with flattering smiles on their faces, welcoming the arrival of the main land of Xianglan'er County.

Lu Yuanzhi, the envoy of the city, was a fifth-grade official, and knelt on the ground in fear with several subordinates from the seven-rank land, pretending to have a smile on his face, but he was secretly bitter in his heart.

Since half a year ago, the original city envoy was transferred out of Quanzhou Mansion to Wenzhou to take up a post, and Lu Yuanzhi was successfully promoted to Quanzhou Prefecture Zhengwupin City Envoy, but he didn't expect that after Naza Kecha came to Quanzhou City, he used many means to threaten and lure him, dragged him into the water, and became Za Kecha's accomplice.

Now that the county lord of Xianglan'er has made it clear that he is here to investigate the crimes committed by Za Kecha in Quanzhou Mansion, he is naturally frightened.

Hundreds of cavalry quickly escorted a luxury carriage and slowly stopped in front of the Yamen of the City Bo Division, and Lu Yuanzhi immediately realized that it should be Xianglan'er's carriage that had arrived.

"Lu Yuanzhi, the envoy of the city, didn't know that the county lord arrived today, and it was too late to greet him! I beg your forgiveness! Lu Yuanzhi immediately kowtowed and saluted.

The two cavalrymen immediately turned over and dismounted, one of them half-knelt on the ground and bent his back down, and the other lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Xiang Lan'er slowly stepped out of the carriage with frost on her face, stepped on the back of the cavalryman kneeling on the ground, and stepped off the carriage.

Looking at several officials of the City Department who were kneeling on the ground, she said: "This palace is not here for fun, you should get up, follow me in, and immediately bring me the account books of the City Department in the past year, and I will read it immediately!" ”

As she spoke, she turned around and whispered a few words to the cavalryman who had opened the curtain, and the cavalryman was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately accepted the salute, obviously what Xiang Lan'er said made him a little stunned.

After speaking, Xiang Lan'er didn't wait for Lu Yuan to reply directly and went to the Yamen, dozens of soldiers had dismounted and had already entered the Yamen, escorting Xiang Lan'er in front of them to guide the way, and they were very clear about the layout in the Yamen.

Lu Yuan came to his senses after Xiang Lan'er walked into the yamen, and saw Xiang Lan'er's frosty face, which was full of nobility and coercion, which made him completely breathless.

"Obey the orders of the county lord, and the minister will prepare everything for you immediately!" Looking at Xiang Lan'er's back, Lu Yuanzhi was scared into a cold sweat behind his back.

Just as he was about to get up, he saw a strange scene, only to see that there were two more people in the carriage that Xianglan'er was riding, looking like a mother and son, but what surprised him was that these two people were clearly dressed as poor mountain villagers, and the mother's clothes even had several patches on them.

"Strange? How could there be these two lowly civilians in the county lord's car? How could she, in her noble capacity, ride in the same car with others, and be such a lowly person? For a moment, Lu Yuan was stunned on the spot, as did several officials behind him.

But I saw the cavalry say slowly: "Please follow me to the yamen side hall to rest, and the county lord will summon you to a ......place in the afternoon."

Shang Mei and Shang Yu were immediately overjoyed when they heard this.

Just as Lu Yuan reacted and got up with several officials to go inside the yamen, he suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance of the street, and it sounded more than one.

At this time, a group of men and horses galloped from the other end of the street, and from a long distance, one of them could be heard shouting: "Quanzhou Mansion Qianhu Za Kecha connived at his subordinates to run rampant, and has been sent by the imperial court to dismiss the lord of Xianglan'er County and be confined to the house, and after all the crimes are discovered, they will be punished according to the law!" ”

"The commander of Quanzhou has temporarily handed over all the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction to Zhao Qing and Zhao Qianhu, and tomorrow the government will begin to carefully and thoroughly investigate all the grievances of Quanzhou Mansion during the year! Please prepare the paper and submit it to the Yamen of the City Department for unified processing! "This group of cavalry turned out to be sent by Zhao Qing to announce the announcement in the city.

On the other side, there is a small sedan chair being carried by two people towards the market.

"Sir! You are the prefect of the prefect only we have two sedan chairs, and this sedan chair you have been using for six years, from Hangzhou to Quanzhou Mansion, originally thought that this is a rich place, you will always be more comfortable, I didn't expect it to be in Hangzhou! A palanquin driver said with some complaint.

"Toot! Shut up! At home, I treat you as family, and outside you are just a palanquin! What nonsense? If I hadn't always been as honest as water, I would have been unable to be an official a long time ago! This time, when the county lord came to Quanzhou, he must vigorously rectify government affairs and commerce, and the government is finally looking forward to this day! Listening to him, he didn't seem to care about the words of the sedan chair bearer.

"What is as incorruptible as water, how can a prefect be like you? Most of your Fenglu was sent back to your hometown in Shanxi to help the people in your hometown, and the rest of the silver has to feed a large family, if I would never be an official like you. Another sedan chair driver couldn't help but puff up behind the sedan chair.

"Shut up! Just get to the Yamen of the City Division, you two can't talk nonsense anymore, otherwise the monthly money will be halved next month! The person in the sedan immediately let out a cold snort and said.

After hearing this, the two sedan chair drivers couldn't help but tremble with fright, stopped talking, and stepped up to carry the small sedan chair forward.

The first time they walked into the luxurious and ** environment of the Yamen of the City Division, Shang Mei and Shang Yu were looking around curiously in a side hall.

A soldier soon walked in from behind with two maids from outside, and said to the two maids: "This is the county lord who ordered you to take care of the landlings, bring them some food, and then go to the garment shop to get two suitable ground clothes for them to change into, and the county lord will take them out later!" ”

The two maids immediately saluted the soldier and said, "Yes! As he spoke, he turned his face to look at the merchant's mother and son, and when they saw the merchant's mother and son, the two maids couldn't help but show surprise, and their eyes also showed disdain.

Shang Yu's mother and son are more or less dirty, and there is dust on their bodies, it is really not easy for Xianglan'er to endure riding in the same car with them, and the people who these two maids usually receive in the city are either officials or rich businessmen in China, as well as envoys and wealthy businessmen from hundreds of overseas countries, and their eyes are extremely accurate.

The lowly civilian aura of the mother and son in front of them made them feel as if they were being insulted.

The soldier was about to go out, and when he saw the appearance of the two maids, he couldn't help but say: "These two are witnesses that the county lord attaches great importance to, if you don't entertain well, the county lord will blame it, and don't blame me for not reminding you!" ”

Only then did the two maids come to their senses and reluctantly said, "Yes, this military master! ”

Shang Mei and Shang Yu couldn't help but exchange glances when they saw this scene, and Shang Mei said softly to his son: "This is a dog's eyes looking down on people!" ”

Shang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this.

The soldier walked out of the side hall with confidence, and the two maids also exchanged glances, one of them put the tray in his hand on the coffee table in the hall, and said crisply: "Please use tea first, and we will immediately go to the garment shop to choose a few clothes for the two of you!" This sentence is full of disdain for Shang Yu's mother and son.

Shang Yu was about to refute two sentences, but was stopped by Shang Mei, and took him behind him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, two young ladies, you two please!" ”

The two maids seemed to be very satisfied with Shang Mei's title of "Miss", so they nodded and left the hall satisfied.

"Mother! These two maids clearly look down on us, why don't you let me scold them for being angry? Shang Yu asked puzzled.

"Xiao Yu! When you have status and status in the future, you can ride on their heads at that time! This is the Yamen, we are only treated like this because we can testify for the county lord, and those two maids are people from the Yamen, and if we offend them, we will not have good fruit to eat!" Shang Mei knocked on his son's head and said reproachfully.

It was at this time that Shang Yu learned the importance of "power and status......
