Chapter 206: Defamation
After that, several people talked to keep their voices to a minimum.
Zhou Heng didn't bother to listen, and when he saw that Boss Xue had almost eaten all the food on the table, he raised his eyes to look at him.
"When we're full, we'll go back to our room and rest."
Boss Xue hurriedly took a sip of water and looked at Zhou Heng in surprise.
He ate all this table, Zhou Heng drank two glasses of water at all, and didn't eat anything, isn't he hungry?
wiped his mouth, stood up and didn't speak, and followed Zhou Heng towards the backyard.
In this lobby, the sound of fists, and the sound of talking about business, one after another, of course, there are many discussions in the new Zhizhou, Boss Xue can't see anything unusual about Zhou Heng's expression, but the more this is the case, the more worried he is.
"You didn't eat anything."
Zhou Heng nodded, "I'm not hungry, go back to the room to rest first." β
Saying that, the two followed Xiao Er directly to a courtyard, which is a separate courtyard with a small area, but it is very secluded, and Zhou Heng is still very satisfied.
rewarded Xiao Er, sent hot water, and the person withdrew.
Boss Xue thought that Zhou Heng was going to take a bath, so he hurriedly opened the door and prepared to go out, but Zhou Heng stopped him.
"This courtyard seems to be directly on the road, and it will be late at night, let's go look for it, I think Liu Renli will be in the city, tomorrow is the deadline, and he will come back no matter what."
Boss Xue gave him a blank look, "Take you with me?" Forget it, my kung fu, it's no problem to go back and forth by myself, or I'll take a walk around each store to have a look. β
Zhou Heng didn't insist anymore and nodded at Boss Xue.
"It's fine."
Boss Xue didn't delay, hurriedly went back to the room to change into a hunting shirt, and wrapped himself tightly, this season, squatting outside for a while can freeze to death.
Zhou Heng waited in front of the window, I don't know how long it took, the charcoal cage had been filled with charcoal twice, and as soon as the window rang, Boss Xue came in.
Seeing that Zhou Heng didn't sleep, he hurriedly looked outside, then closed the window, and shook off the snow on his body while roasting the fire.
"In this Tongzhou City, I walked around all the inns with names and surnames, and our modified carriage was particularly wide, and I could recognize it at a glance, I went to all the stables to find it, and I didn't give up and went to the guest room to find it, and I didn't see anyone."
After hearing this, Zhou Heng didn't say how worried he was, took a sip of tea, and smiled at Boss Xue.
"Okay, go to sleep, it's safe if you don't find it."
Boss Xue was a little stunned.
"I tossed around in the middle of the night, isn't it just to find someone, why don't you feel safe if you can't find it?"
Zhou Heng glanced at Boss Xue, "Compared with you, the people in Tongzhou City, from their appearance to the personnel and carriages around them, who knows Lord Liu better?" β
Boss Xue stretched out his hand, looked at Zhou Heng as if he was an idiot.
"Then what is there to ask, naturally I know Master Liu best, I found the carriage and horses for him, and there are two boys from Lingshan Village, needless to say, I can recognize it when I see a straight face, a side face or a cough, what does this mean."
Zhou Heng looked into his eyes, "You're not usually very smart, why don't you understand this?" β
Boss Xue shook his head, drank a cup of hot tea, and his body didn't seem to be so cold, so he didn't want to use his brain and asked directly:
"You just tell me no, it's too cold and I don't want to use my brain, otherwise I'll be hungry again."
Zhou Heng was speechless for an instant, "You know Liu Renli so well that you can't find him, can these people who have never met before find him?" β
Boss Xue was stunned and quickly nodded vigorously.
"yes, I didn't think that either they didn't enter the city, or they hid, but they were really deep enough to find it."
Zhou Heng snorted and waved his hand at Boss Xue.
"Alright, go to bed and wait until I get up tomorrow."
Zhou Heng got up and pushed Boss Xue out, the door slammed shut, Boss Xue looked confused, but when he heard the sound of the watch, he didn't bother much, and went downstairs to lie down and sleep.
The next day, early in the morning.
Zhou Heng got up early, didn't go out after eating, Zhou Heng sat on the second floor and looked at the street.
The west window of the room just saw the main street in front of the yamen, and the two of them guarded it like this.
I don't know how long it took, two cars slowly drove in front of me, and the carriage in front of me was the one built by the Rejuvenation Hall.
Boss Xue jumped up suddenly, "It's here!" β
Zhou Henger went downstairs without saying a word, and Boss Xue hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked towards the yamen, and when they caught up with the car, Zhang Zhushu on the car had already jumped down.
To be able to follow Liu Renli, I haven't thought about the official position, and he is still ready to be a master honestly, so don't think about whether it is the master book now, he is the master Zhang Huaiyuan.
Looking at the people gathered in front of the yamen, Zhang Huaiyuan saluted forward, and before he could speak, a man in an official robe greeted him with a smile and politely hugged his fist towards Zhang Huaiyuan.
"On this car, but the new Zhizhou Liu Renli Liu?"
Zhang Huaiyuan nodded hurriedly, turned sideways and gave way to the other party's salute, and said quietly:
"It's Lord Liu Renli."
When the man heard this, he quickly waved his hand behind him, and the people behind him all moved, trotting out the man.
After all, the weather is cold, and you can't stand outside all the time, and you will freeze through after wearing an official robe for a while.
At this moment, Zhou Yi'an jumped out of the car, put down a horse stool, and Liu Renli walked out of the car wearing an official robe.
All the officials stood on both sides and hurried to salute.
"Xiaguan (old man) has seen Lord Zhizhou."
Liu Renli didn't call out, and walked into the mansion quickly, and the people in the back were a little embarrassed.
Looking at each other, they looked overwhelmed.
However, seeing that Liu Renli had already entered, he quickly got up and followed the court's office.
A group of people watching the excitement outside didn't leave, just stood at the door and looked inside.
Those porters, how can they be in the mood to care about these ordinary people at the moment, as long as they don't break in, everyone's attention is inside.
Zhang Huaiyuan had already followed Liu Renli in, but Zhou Yi'an was not in a hurry, beckoned the two boys from Lingshan Village, and took down two burdens from the carriage, and then a young man in short clothes jumped out of the car with Zhou Yi'an.
Zhou Heng's position was squeezed back and forth, which greatly affected the feeling of watching.
He turned around to see that Boss Xue knew his son-in-law's temper, and hurriedly spread his hands to free up some space on both sides of Zhou Heng, which was much more comfortable.
When these people entered the courtyard, Liu Renli did not rush to leave, but turned around and looked around, as if to see who was here, and these officials hurriedly had a slight smile on their faces, as if they wanted to leave a good impression on Liu Renli.
Liu Renli looked around, "It's the first time I came to Tongzhou, today is the last day to take office, so I've been waiting for you for a long time, I don't know who can introduce you and let the official get acquainted with it?" β
The people in the courtyard all looked at Liu Renli in a daze.
People don't enter the house, and politely say that you have been waiting for a long time, and you want to get to know each other, so you have to give the steps.
The first official standing on the right hand hurriedly took a step forward towards Liu Renli, raised his eyes and said respectfully:
"The next official is the general judge of Tongzhou, if Liu Zhizhou doesn't give up, then the next official will help introduce him, okay?"
Liu Renli nodded, "Bo Tong is judged, okay, then I will take care of you to introduce it." β
Bo Tongju's face was red, and the white hair on his sideburns looked very energetic, pointing to the people around him and introduced:
"This is Tongzhou Prefecture Tong Xu Maochang, County Cheng Wan Jun'an, Chief Bookkeeper Zhang Zhiping, Sanhe County Ling Zou Yi? Ridge (10) ζ·ιδΊη² 11.Plating (11) η«ι δΊιΊι·Έ disaster small? Kuang Zhaoen, the county magistrate of T County, as well as representatives of the local squires, Xu Juren, Wang Juren, Zhang Juren and so on. β
Liu Renli looked around and did not greet politely, these are not what he is good at.
Moreover, he has only been a county magistrate in a medium-sized county for six years, and he has met the prefect three or four times, and he is also following behind, and he really can't speak if he wants him to speak, so he just bows his head slightly, which can be regarded as a greeting.
Looking around, he did not let everyone enter the lobby, but still stood in the courtyard.
Many people began to sniff coldly, which made it a little embarrassing, and everyone lowered their eyes slightly and exchanged glances with each other.
Liu Renli paused and said loudly:
"Why did this official go to Tongzhou to take up his post, I think everyone knows. For this official, it is dispensable to meet the wind, and it is the key to handle the political affairs of Tongzhou. On November 20, the official arrived in Tongzhou, but he did not enter the city, but just walked around the surroundings to understand some people's feelings. β
