When this sentence was asked, Huang Menglin's suspicions were obvious, and even the car was a little heavy, expressing a certain degree of concern about it.

However, when Liu Yizhou heard this, he only blew the steaming tea in the teacup in his hand, tasted it gently, and then said to the two with confidence: "Please rest assured, there is no reason to fail this matter." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Yizhou was so confident that he hooked Che Renzhong with Huang Menglin's interest. But this staff member was unhurried, fiddling with the tea cup slowly, and it was very elegant in the eyes of Che Renzhong, but in Huang Menglin's opinion, there was always a deliberate way to imitate the behavior of the doctor.

"A coated slave is a coated minion, no matter how much you learn, you can't learn the elegance of a real scholar."

Having said that, Huang Menglin will not put it into words, but will also be slow and methodical, and it is a kung fu to nourish qi. The two of them were like this, but Che Renzhong was a little itchy by the two of them, and asked Liu Yizhou bluntly: "What did Mr. Liu say?" ”

Seeing that someone couldn't bear it, a trace of self-satisfaction flashed on Liu Yizhou's face, and then he put down the teacup and asked him: "Dare to ask Che Zongzhen, what is the surname of the army boss in your province?" ”

As soon as Liu Yizhou's words came out, Huang Menglin's eyes lit up, and even the tension on his face relaxed a lot. The two of them were like playing dumb riddles, but they were too anxious to do anything, and the displeasure on their faces slowly accumulated, as if they were about to explode in the next moment.

"Let's put it this way, the army boss of your province respects his surname Tong Jia, and he keeps his superiors and subordinates; And the master of my family is also surnamed Tong Jia, and he is a fool of the country. There are different generations, but in the final analysis, they are all relatives, and they can't write two Tong characters in one stroke, will it still be a reason? ”

Liu Yizhou said that Tong Yangjia, the governor of Liangguang, was fine, and as soon as his master Tong Guonai was mentioned, he immediately stood up and respectfully walked in the direction of Fuzhou, and the respect in his tone was even more incomprehensible. In the Qing Dynasty, especially in the early and middle periods, there was a saying in the officialdom that "the wolf has a nest and the Tong Half Dynasty", which refers to the large number of these two surnames in the officialdom. Among them, "wolf" is the homonym of "Lang", which refers to the old surname Niu Colu, which is a Manchurian surname, and Tong is naturally Tong Jia.

Tong Jia's family was in the early and middle Qing Dynasty for a hundred years, and the inner was Shangshu and Shilang, and the outside was the general and the superintendent. Among them, such as Nurhachi's concubine Hahana Zaqing, one of the five founding ministers of the country, Hu Erhan, the first commander of Wuzhen Chaoha, Tong Yangxing, the first commander of Wuzhen Chaoha, Empress Xiaokangzhang of Shunzhi, Empress Xiaoyiren of Kangxi and Emperor Huihui's concubine, and Yongzheng Dynasty's powerful minister Long Keduo, these people are all from Tong Jia's family. Like Tong Yangjia and Tong Guonai, although they are all high-ranking officials at the level of governors, they are no longer celebrities in the large collection of Tong Jia's family.

Next, Liu Yizhou was full of interest, and it can even be said that he told the two of them about the great achievements of Tong Jia's family in the early Qing Dynasty over the years, and the great achievements made by the Qing Dynasty in the world.

Speaking of later, Liu Yizhou was already sweating profusely with excitement, especially when he talked about Tong Guonai's suppression of the Fujian Anti-Qing Rebellion, his eyebrows danced. It's just that on top of that proud look, there seems to be a wound on the edge of the melon skin hat on his head, and there is a scab on it, but it has not yet fallen off, as if the wound was not long ago.

"Mr. Liu, do you need to find a Lang Zhong to take a look at that cut on your head, if you have a scar, it will damage Mr. Liu's demeanor."

Huang Menglin said it sincerely, and Che Renzhong also noticed the wound. Hearing this, Liu Yizhou subconsciously reached out to touch it, but immediately put it down, and then thanked Huang Menglin with his hand: "Thank you Huang Fuzun, this opening was left by people who scraped the stake before coming, and the next person can't do things, so it has been sent away." However, students want to come, the court has an order, shaving hair is easy to wear, and students leave scars for shaving their hair, not only will not damage their demeanor, but also should be a witness to obeying the emperor's orders! ”

Liu Yizhou said righteously, and Huang Menglin also hurriedly responded with approval. Keeping the head without hair, leaving the hair without leaving the head, this is the harsh government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but like them, they have already lowered their tartars, but they don't care too much about what kind of clothing is civilized, what kind of body hair and skin are the traditions of their parents. It's just that Liu Yizhou is so shameless, but it also makes Che Renzhong look a little unimpressed.

"Che Zongzhen, you must know that this money rat tail is the elegance of the new dynasty, and the bad habit of Eguanbo brings the real country. Shaving hair is a grace given by the court to the gentry and the common people, don't ignore it! ”

Che Renzhong's micro-expression was obviously seen by Liu Yizhou, and as soon as this sentence came out, Che Renzhong's brows were about to come out. But at this moment, Huang Menglin took the lead in taking over the conversation, echoing Liu Yizhou's insightful opinions, and at the same time giving Che a step down with kind words, and finally did not make any unpleasant trouble.

After talking in detail for a long time, since they received the official document, Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin also arranged for Liu Yizhou and others to stay in the post house, and half of the hundred or so Fujian sailors continued to stay on the ship, and half of them followed to live in the post house, and finally arranged the errand in advance. The rest is nothing more than waiting for the fate of the governor of Guangdong, Yamen, and before that, these people will be placed and a good fate will be formed, and that's probably it.

Liu Yizhou said goodbye and left, looking at the backs of the staff of the Fujian governor and the two silent sailors, Huang Menglin's mind had already flown back to official business.

"No need to try, this person can say this, there will be no fake."

Yes, to be able to say such incorruptible and shameful words so justifiably, not a dog minion, that's what is called a novelty.

After confirming the matter, Che Renzhong left in a hurry, and Huang Menglin did not leave for himself. In this Chaozhou City, the two of them are already the highest-ranking civil and military officials, but they are not in harmony with each other on weekdays, and if it is not related to official business, there are very few contacts on weekdays.

Huang Menglin continued to deal with official affairs in the government, the Qing court's finances were always very tight, and the collection of taxes was the first priority of the magistrates. In contrast, it is no surprise that the soldiers of Chaozhou Town disturbed the people, but one day if the bandits under Che Renzhong did not disturb the people, he would feel fresh.

The prefect is like this, but the chief military officer of Chaozhou Town is not easy. In late September last year, he pacified the Jieyang Yiwang army with lightning speed, and it was only three days, and Governor Tong and Admiral Li were quite praising him. But it didn't take long for him to confidently plan to take advantage of the momentum of the big victory to take down the relatively strong local separatist forces in Chaozhou in one go, and Wu Liuqi of Dapu Sanheba laid the foundation for the unification of Chaozhou Mansion, but suffered a fiasco, and has not slowed down his strength so far.

Wu Liuqi was so capable of fighting, it was indeed beyond his expectations, but the bear soldiers under his command did lose his face. For this reason, he also began to train soldiers in an extremely rare way, and even the kung fu of looking for flowers and asking willows was a lot less. It's just that if you want to fuse the nearly 1,000 recruits who came in with the remaining more than 1,000 old soldiers, don't say that you can train strong soldiers, but only restore your original combat effectiveness, I'm afraid it's not an overnight thing.

After nightfall, Huang Menglin returned to the back house of the yamen with a stomach full of anger at a case of town soldiers harassing the gentry of the city that happened today, and he was so angry that he couldn't even eat. And the car of the sergeant who practiced all afternoon also returned to the mansion, and continued to practice the "soldiers and horses" on the body of the most favored concubine on weekdays. At the same time, there was no unusual movement in the post station in the city, everything seemed so ordinary, not even the slightest unusual.
