From Chujing to Lingnan, the road is far away, if you only rely on people to carry horses, I don't know the Year of the Monkey Monkey Moon to arrive.

Fortunately, the Yang River has dug an unprecedented Grand Canal with the power of the whole country.

Although the canal is not yet completed, some sections of the canal are already passable.

Hou Shigui and his entourage of more than 50 Jinyi guards, except for Chu Jinghou, came to a county town shore in the south of Gyeonggi, and prepared to board the ship to go south.

I didn't want to, but I was stopped by the county and county officials:

"The commander passes through our county, and the small county is full of brilliance, if you don't eat a meal and then leave, isn't the lower official losing the way to be an official?"

Before coming, Hou Shigui also investigated, Mingyue Jinzhong County, the county seat where this ferry is located.

The county's honorable name is Wang Jing, a son of the Wang family.

is also a disciple of a big clan, after all, it has no connections, who can hold the position of county lord in this small ferry county?

Although he has no grudges with the Wang family, in recent months, the Wang family has been uniting with other families and clans to suppress him.

And what I have been doing in Beijing in the past few months is all aimed at these big families.

This Wang Jing is fishing for oil and water in Jinzhong County, I'm afraid I can't wait for me to leave early?

Where did the dog guts still want to invite me to drink and eat?

Don't be afraid, I see something wrong, do you want to deal with him?

However, if you don't mention your identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, with your current official position, when you pass through here, the local parents and officials should have a banquet to be in order.

I'm afraid of it, there's fraud in it:

"If this official is burdened, he doesn't dare to bother the county respect."

Hou Shigui was about to refuse, but Wang Jing said:

"Why does the commander need to see the outside like this, the lower official is the parent official of Jinzhong County, and there are Shangguan passing by, so it is in accordance with the rules to set up a banquet and entertainment.

If the commander refuses to allow it, how will the subordinate officials be officials in this sea in the future? ”

Wang Jing's words were all about this, and Hou Shigui couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and say:

"Then it's a bother, old Xiang, make arrangements, so that the brothers can't relax their vigilance, and I'll come after drinking."

"Whoa."

Xiang Xu promised and turned around.

Hou Shigui took Bao Ji, Lu Xing'an, Wang Hou, Wang Cheng and three other Jinyi guards to follow Wang Jingchao's county mansion.

Although the canal was not completed, several sections were opened at this time.

It's just that the snow is falling, and although the river is not frozen, the road can finally run horse-drawn carriages.

Therefore, the merchants who were trapped by the heavy snow could only temporarily live in this Jinzhong County.

When the snow is falling, this Jinzhong County is a little more lively than Chujing.

I saw people coming and going on the streets, and there were vendors in thick clothes selling hot food everywhere.

The merchants and their men went around the streets to buy something new and new.

Under the busy traffic on the street, if it weren't for the county leader to lead the team, I'm afraid Hou Shigui wouldn't be able to walk a few steps.

When the pedestrians saw the county's banner, they bowed their heads and avoided it, not daring to speak loudly.

Seeing this, Hou Shigui couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This Wang Jing is such a great official.

The parents of a county have made the people of this county so afraid and hurt the heavens and reason, so they should have done a lot of things.

Although Hou Shigui wanted to do some good deeds and increase the good results.

But now he wanted to go to Lingnan to investigate the cause of the teacher's death, but it was not good to cause extraneous branches, so he forcibly endured this impulse.

Jinzhong County is in Gyeonggi, and it is also close to Chujing, so it didn't take long for Hou Shigui and his party to be recognized by pedestrians on the road:

"Black Brocade...... Black brocade! Still with a knife, could it be a brocade guard?! ”

Someone reminded that everyone around looked at Hou Shigui in unison.

"What a brocade guard! Run!! ”

Then, before Hou Shigui could react, the surrounding people scattered.

After a while, there was no one else in the originally lively street except for the people of the county government and Hou Shigui and his party.

This......

Even Hou Shigui didn't expect that his official authority was even greater than Wang Jing.

Wang Jing was just so frightened that these people didn't dare to raise their voices.

But as soon as his brocade guards appeared, they scared them away.

When Hou Shigui was dumbfounded, it was Wang Jing who came out and said:

"They are all people in the mountains and fields who don't know a single big character, they don't know much, they are afraid when they see the officials, and the commander doesn't have to care."

Since Wang Jing found a step for Hou Shigui, Hou Shigui also borrowed the donkey from the slope:

"The county is polite, let's continue to go."

Although he said this, he was even more disdainful of this Wang Jing in his heart.

At the time of Linben, Hou Shigui felt that the Linben Order Xie Jing was already an extremely bad county order.

But no matter how bad Xie Jing is, he will not say this about the people under his rule, and the people of Linben are not very afraid of him.

He even often scolded him for being useless in the teahouse restaurant.

But this king is respectful, and he does not regard the people under his rule as human beings.

It seems that this guy is the kind of child of a family who thinks that being an official is just to make money.

These sons of the family are obviously rich and oily, but they are still endlessly greedy, no wonder Yang He can't bear you.

After Hou Shigui followed Wang Jing into the county office, he found that the county government seemed to have been out of office for a long time.

Not to mention that the original office settings are gone, and the county hall has been renovated.

On both sides are chairs and benches, and in the center there is a large round platform made of marble, and at the top of the place, the county chair has been transformed into a very comfortable old chair.

This Wang Jing won't put the county government on the spot as a private place he used to entertain guests, right?

Wang Jingzhi was bold, not only Hou Shigui, but even Bao Ji and others who followed Hou Shigui were also dumbfounded.

Only Wang Cheng looked left and right at the county government with a little interest, thinking that this county's taste was average.

It has been transformed into a Confucian or a Confucian place, a place that is not like anything.

After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Hou Shigui again, and saw that Hou Shigui was talking to Wang Jing about something, so he didn't care about Hou Shigui, walked to a chair next to the old man's chair and sat down.

Wang Cheng's posture was completely accustomed to Hou Shigui.

When he first joined Jinyiwei, he was still quite honest, which shows that Hou Shigui was also respectful and polite to himself.

He grew bolder.

I thought that this Hou Shigui owed his father-in-law some favors, so he was so polite to himself.

After thinking about it, it must have been his father-in-law who said a lot of good things to him in His Majesty's ear, right?

Maybe he, the commander of the brocade guard, was supported by his father-in-law.

Thinking of this, although Wang Cheng was still respectful to Hou Shigui on the surface, he no longer looked down on him on the ground.

What's the big deal about a dog next to my father-in-law?

When you see the master, don't you have to be polite?

Wang Jing was here to introduce other people in the county government to Hou Shigui, and saw a brocade-clothed guard suddenly sit on a chair.

frowned, and looked at Hou Shigui.

Hou Shigui shook his head helplessly and said:

"This son is the son of the king's inner eunuch, Meng Lang is used to it, and the county respects me."

The king's inner eunuch? Which king's inner eunuch?

Wang Jing is not an official in Chujing, and he can't remember which Wang is the inner eunuch for a while.

But Hou Shigui didn't say anything, and he wouldn't say much, but in that position, he should have sat by himself!
