On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Jia Cong decided to suspend his stay in Texas for a day, and he prepared the gifts of the Three Treasures of Texas and traveled west to the canal port.

At the head of the Texas Canal port, the mountains on the east and west banks protrude, the turquoise water surface is reflected, and there are people on both sides of the bank who are on duty to dig the river.

Jia Cong was wearing a blue official uniform, according to the regulations, one to four poinsettia robes, five, six or seven blue robes, eight or nine green robes, with a piggy patch on his chest and back, and official boots on his feet, Liu Xianglian, Jia Yun, Long Aotian and others behind him followed one by one, and a banquet was set up in the pavilion at the head of the port.

I saw a huge search on the canal, a lot of mast and many sails, on the treasure ship produced by the Jiangnan City Bo Division, a person walked down, surrounded by eunuchs, this person was dressed in a seven-grade green robe, and the complement was bright, it was the supervising eunuch Liu Zhiyuan, and the system was also seven-grade.

Jia Cong looked at the riverbank from afar, and there were also people pulling boats, secretly sighing bitterly, the emperor sent eunuchs down, not only he suffered, but the people also suffered.

"Oops! Why did Master Jia bother so much? As soon as Liu Zhiyuan walked up to the port, he smiled and gave up his hand, and when he saw that Jia Cong's official uniform was several levels higher than himself, he felt crooked, the boss is not a taste, and the eunuch is an animal that is always careful. Although Jia Cong's patrol imperial history is a seven-grade one, he is also a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy. Liu Zhiyuan originally also had the rank of celebrant eunuch, but when he came out, the emperor took it and warned him that if he didn't do anything good, don't want it, so before Liu Gonggong left Beijing, he made up his mind to raid Jiangnan.

Liu Zhiyuan's name is also the "Supervision of the Three Provinces", Jia Cong is more crooked than him, this dog emperor is really suspicious, but if it were him, it is estimated that he would do the same, patrolling the three provinces, and the power is too great.

Jia Cong returned the salute, smiled and took Liu Zhiyuan's hand very closely, walked to the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my father-in-law and I are also patrolling the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and we should work together to share your Majesty's worries." ”

Liu Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed, Jia Cong's words meant that they should sit on an equal footing and unite with each other, but Jia Cong did not look down on him, which made him feel comfortable, and he hated those civil officials who were talking about it, and they were eunuchs.

Liu Xianglian, the eunuchs and others withdrew from the pavilion guards, Jia Cong made a gesture of please, these two big guys who are about to make countless turmoil in Jiangsu sat down separately, Jia Cong said elegantly: "Father-in-law, please, I just came to Texas, I heard that there are three treasures in Texas, grilled chicken, watermelon, golden silk dates, yesterday I was worried about my father-in-law, I didn't dare to taste it first, let's taste it together." ”

As he spoke, he poured him a cup of Shaoxing daughter red.

"Hmm......" Liu Zhiyuan became more and more comfortable, touched a cup, this meal, no less than a few hundred taels of silver, he leaned comfortably on his body: "Watermelon golden silk dates are not in season, they must be stored in the ice cellar, rare, these Shandong dishes, I don't taste much in the palace, I can't care about that division, Tojia's blessing, haha." When our family goes back, we will definitely bring these things to the ladies in the palace to taste......"

Jia Cong's eyes rolled: "A ride on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee, I don't know which lady is so Yaxing?" ”

"Concubine Kang Niangniang......" Liu Zhiyuan whispered: "Recently, I have been favored......

"Oh......" Jia Cong suddenly realized, the two of them feasted on you and me, tea, wine, rice, and food, none of them were ordinary.

After drinking and eating, Jia Cong changed his tricks and spoke, frowning and said, "Gonggong Liu, do you think it is so cheesy to let these vulgar people pull boats?" There is a saying in the book, the sword comes by the wind, the demon is in the world, I am happy if there is wine, and I am crazy without wine, I think Liu Gonggong, what kind of elegant person are you always? It is better to come with the wind, go with the wind, and lead one or two scribes to talk about it, there will be countless people in the south and north of the Yangtze River who are grateful for the elegance and arrogance of their father-in-law, and they come when they hear the wind, isn't it a beautiful thing that has been passed down through the ages? ”

"Oh? That's not bad, what a noble man this official is! Liu Zhiyuan straightened his chest, Jia Cong sent another thousand taels of silver, Liu Zhiyuan immediately ordered the people of Shandong not to give him an errand to pull the boat, seeing Jia Cong so "poured into the heart, sentence from the bottom of his heart", Liu Zhiyuan was also moved, "The heroes of the world, only Liu Zhiyuan and Jia Cong'er" The emotion came spontaneously, and he thought that he was an elegant friend of Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya, Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi.

What the key emperor thinks of Jia Cong in his heart, he can't figure it out, after eating and drinking, Liu Zhiyuan is reluctant: "Our family wants to go to Texas for sightseeing." ”

"Not necessarily." Jia Cong couldn't wait to send this plague god away quickly: "In addition to the Three Treasures, the people's livelihood in Texas is scarce, and there is really not much benefit. ”

"That's it, it's okay, that official and Brother Shanhai are in Huai'an, and they won't be separated."

Jia Cong personally sent him on the ship, watched the treasure ship gradually go south, and said goodbye in tears.

Befriending this supervising eunuch is something Jia Cong has to do without thinking about it, and if they write to each other because of differences in the future, the emperor will obviously trust the eunuch, which is what Jia Cong has to do to keep the black yarn hat.

Officialdom is a sieve, weeding out good people, and the rest have to have a little bit of villain nature, otherwise it won't work.

In addition, contacting Yuanchun, Liu Zhiyuan is undoubtedly the best transit station.

But Jia Cong is still very dissatisfied, the celebrant eunuch has too much appetite, how can he fill it without hundreds of thousands? Just like the tax supervisor sent by Wanli, Jia Cong seems to see the situation of the people's poor livelihood.

Now it is useless to worry about the sky, and then rest at Ande Post Station in the evening, and the next day Jia Cong and his party set off straight to Enxian.

……

When they walked out of Texas City, several women opened the curtains curiously and watched, but saw people running on the street to tell each other.

"The Shenming Pavilion of the Qian'er Prefecture Ya posted a notice, Jia Yushi has arrived in Shandong, according to the usual practice, we can stop the sedan chair to redress grievances, and the government can't handle it, you can tell Yushi ......"

A tooth woman broke her mouth: "That's what I said, but there are policies, there are countermeasures, blocking the way and complaining, the general royal history master is upset, unless Dou E is so wronged, otherwise the affairs of the Zhang family and the Li family, the officials will ignore you......"

A burden-carrying interjected: "Oh, I said Xue Pozi, you haven't heard about the canal in front, have you?" The new Lord Yushi invited Gonggong Liu to a meal, and those who pulled the boat were all released, this Lord Yushi surnamed Jia is a good person. In the past, it was passed down that he was the one who risked his life to write for the flood of the Yellow River, and now he is patrolling the three provinces, which is our blessing, but if there is a great grievance, it is only ...... to stop the road and complain."

The government posted notices, sailors, slender men, merchants, and merchants spread the word of mouth, and within a few days, Jia Cong did not need to build up his own momentum, and his good reputation spread all over Texas.

I'm afraid Jia Cong himself couldn't have imagined that he was just an unintentional small act, and a large number of Texans went home to offer him incense, and worshiped and prayed every day.

Jin Gui shook his two pigtails and exclaimed: "Miss, Master Cong's official reputation is so good, so many people call him Master Qingtian......"

"He's not a good person...... Wang Xifeng lowered the curtain with some resentment, and he didn't notice it, in fact, his resentment towards Jia Cong was not so serious.

After arriving in Enxian County, her mother Chen, who arrived in Gaotang Prefecture, sent someone back to deliver a letter to her, and Wang Xifeng learned that her brother Wang Ren had been blocked by the people from the Yuqiu Post Station in Gaotang Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, and detained Jia Qiao.

At this time, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief and put her mind at ease, Jia Cong still promised her to help with this matter, but once she arrived in Gaotang Prefecture, she and Jia Cong probably had no chance to meet from now on, obviously getting rid of a person who had been secretly hated for several years, but she couldn't hate it at this time.

"He's not a good thing in the first place, I guess what he's doing......" Wang Xifeng shook his head, trying to erase the shadow of this person.
