On July 21, Shen Xi and his entourage arrived in Guangzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guangzhou City is under the joint jurisdiction of Nanhai County and Panyu County, and is the residence of the political envoy of Guangdong. The Ming Dynasty Guangzhou Prefecture under the jurisdiction of a state of fifteen counties, one of which is Lianzhou, fifteen counties are Panyu County, Nanhai County, Shunde County, Xiangshan County, Xinhui County, Yangshan County, Lianshan County, Dongguan County, Xin'an County, Sanshui County, Zengcheng County, Longmen County, Qingyuan County, Xinning County, Hongzhi two years and added Conghua County.

In the afternoon of the same day, the official ship docked at the Pearl River port, and the group entered the city from the south of the city, and first went to the post house in the southwest of the city to rest in the city. Shen Xi dragged his family with his family, and it was inconvenient for all of them to live in the post house, so he arranged for Ma Jiu and others to live in the inn near the post house, leaving only the female dependents in the post house, and at the same time sending people to the Yamen of the political envoy to deliver the post.

Shen Xi, as the governor of the three provinces, acted as low-key as possible after arriving in the capital of Guangzhou, and after hearing about what he had done in Fuzhou, the three local yamen of Guangdong would definitely guard against him from making trouble under the pretext of "rectifying the rule of officials".

As expected, the post was delivered, and the political envoy Si Yamen did not send anyone to visit him that day.

Shen Xi knew that he was not welcomed, and the local political envoy was in charge of the administration of a province, and a governor suddenly jumped out of his head, and no one was willing to let go of power easily.

Shen Xi stayed in the post house for a day, and the next day he personally led people to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division...... Even if he is not welcomed, he still has to perform official duties, this is the first time he has gone to the Yamen of the Third Division after he officially went to Wuzhou to take office, and the errand began with a visit to the political envoy of Guangdong.

Shen Xi entered the yamen under the leadership of a person from the six products, passed through the Yimen, the lobby, and the second hall, and came to the living room of the third hall, sat down and waited, and waited from the time to noon, and did not see anyone.

Looking at the scorching sun outside, Shen Xi stood up and walked towards the yamen, and the previous person asked, "Lord Shen, where is this going?" ”

"I'm hungry, I need to heal my belly."

After Shen Xi finished speaking, he walked straight along the path of the political envoy.

After Shen Xi walked away, he sighed lightly: "After all, I sent the plague god away, and the plague god must not come again." ”

Shen Xi took Ma Jiu and others to walk around the streets near the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, and what they heard was basically Cantonese language, which was different from later generations, with a lot less conventional vernacular slang and more ancient slang in crepe, Shen Xi originally knew a few words of Cantonese, but now he found that he basically couldn't understand what the locals were saying.

Fortunately, Guangzhou City is one of the main bridges for communication between Daming and overseas, there are many foreign merchants here, and the cultural differences are very large, even the shopkeeper and Xiao Er will speak several local dialects, with Jiangxi, Fujian and Nanzhili dialects are the majority, and occasionally you can hear Huguang dialect and Sichuan sound, which shows that there are not a few people who come to do business from all over the country.

After lunch, Ma Jiu thought that Shen Xi would go back to the post house, but who knew that Shen Xi went to the Yamen of the Political Envoy again.

"There is no one in the Yamen of the Domain, why don't you go back to the official post and wait?" Ma Jiu asked a little strangely.

"If you go back and wait, it is possible to not see anyone for ten days and half a month. If I can't wait in the morning, I will wait for a day, and if I can't wait for a day, I will wait until they have to come out to see me. Shen Xi smiled and said, "I don't have much to do anyway." ”

Shen Xi came to Fujian and Guangdong to exterminate the bandits, without the support of the local government, he had no soldiers in his hands, and he had no money and food, so how could he talk about suppressing the bandits?

Returned to the Yamen of the Guangdong Political Envoy, entered the meeting room of the three halls again, sat down, and made a cup of tea.

Shen Xi sat down all afternoon, and still no one came out to see him, so he didn't force it, and sat there and dozed off all afternoon...... It is just right to accompany his wife at night.

Even that experience accompanied Shen Xi for an afternoon, and when the sun set, Shen Xi came to the door to look at the sky, and said with a smile: "No surprise, no danger, this day flies so fast......"

"Congratulations, sir." That experience came to salute.

Shen Xi looked at the other party, he was in his forties, with a well-proportioned figure, and a pair of eyes that were spinning around, he should be the old fritter of the political envoy Si Yamen. He frowned slightly, took out a letter, and said, "Tired, give this letter to Zhou Fantai......"

The experience asked in surprise: "Zhou Fantai has just passed away, don't you know?" ”

"Huh?"

Shen Xi didn't expect this, and asked in surprise, "When did Zhou Fantai pass away?" ”

The experience looked a little sad: "It was three days ago that Zhou Fantai loved the people like a son, but he died unexpectedly......"

However, he said that Zhou Mengzhong, the political envoy of Guangdong, was already 65 years old, and in an era when the average age was only 30 years old, he should "know the destiny of heaven" after the age of 50, and it was already a rare high life to live to 65.

Actually called an untimely death?

Shen Xi was still thinking, such a coincidence of people died, wouldn't it be fooling me? But if you think about it carefully, even if the people in the Guangdong political envoy are on guard against him, they will never joke about Zhou Mengzhong's death.

This kind of thing has to be reported to the court, first reported death, and then said that he was not dead, this joke is big!

"Then leave it to Zhang Fantai."

Shen Xi added, since Zhou Mengzhong, the political envoy of the left cloth, died in office, Zhang Yuanying, the political envoy of the right cloth, should not be so coincidental and hang, right?

He took the letter and said, "The lower official will present the letter ......"

Shen Xi sighed and shook his head, walked out of the yamen of the political envoy, glanced back, and muttered, "It's really bad luck to sit inside and wait for a dead man all day." ”

……

……

As soon as he returned to the official post, there was an entourage to report, it turned out that there were people waiting for him for a day at the post house, but it was Liu Weikuan, the commander of the Yamen of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division.

Liu Weikuan is nearly forty years old, tall and big, at first glance, he is a military general, and when he saw Shen Xi, he respectfully hugged his fists: "The last general has seen Lord Dufu." ”

The commander of Tongzhi is from the second rank, half a level higher than Shen Xi's official rank, but when he meets, he is called an adult, which shows that the status of martial artists in this era is low.

Shen Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "General Liu is polite, please inside." ”

Because Shen Xi's official errand was to quell the local bandits, and it was recommended by Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, even the British Duke Zhang Mao, who was in charge of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, also respected Shen Xi, so that the local capital Yamen was willing to take the initiative to move closer to Shen Xi.

On the contrary, the Political Envoy Department and the Inspectorate Department are a group of arrogant civil officials, who look down on descendants like Shen Xi, and do not want to accept Shen Xi's dispatch.

After taking his seat, Liu Weikuan asked, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses your lordship is going to mobilize, and when and where will you start to wipe out local bandits and pirates?" ”

Shen Xi was stunned by the question. He didn't expect that the person in front of him turned out to be a "doer", so he came up and asked him about the details of his actions...... I haven't seen a single soldier, I don't have a grain of food in my hand, you care so much about the movement of the bandits, can you be satisfied with how many people and how much food I want?

Shen Xi asked, "I don't know how many people can be provided by the commander of the envoy?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Liu Weikuan's face was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid that Lord Governor Fu will have to go to the various health offices in Guangdong, and properly arrange the ...... according to the actual situation."

If you want me to go to the local guard station to transfer troops, what do you need to do with the Yamen? You all command the envoys to play Tai Chi with me, saying that you can't mobilize the soldiers and horses in Guangdong, right? Or do you mean that if I exterminate all the bandits, you will have no reason to ask the court for money and food in the future, so you will give me a problem?

Shen Xi wanted to say, I don't need you to remind me, I will go to the guard post below, but when I got to my mouth, it became: "General Liu saw it, the officer is young, his body is thin, he is not good at marching, he dances and writes ink on weekdays, and the strategy of marching in the rear is acceptable, and the dispatch of soldiers and horses in the guard post may need the full help of the Dusi Yamen." ”

Liu Weikuan hesitated slightly: "I'm afraid that the last general will have to go back and ask Li Dushi for advice." ”

I know you can't call the shots, but you're just ordered to test me! Shen Xi got up with a smile: "I'll not send it far, General Liu is leaving." ”

Seeing Liu Weikuan away, Tang Yin walked out of the inner hall and asked with some doubts: "Shen Zhongcheng, who is this?" ”

"Guangdong is the commander of Liu Weikuan, didn't Brother Tang say yesterday that he occasionally felt cold? Do you look good today, I think your body has healed? Shen Xi looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin pretended to be dead yesterday and said that he was going to recuperate for two days, Shen Xi knew that this was because Tang Yin didn't want to go with him to the political envoy Siyamen to talk about himself. Now that I see him come back, he will be cured immediately, this is too shameless, right? Tang Yin didn't think it was angry, and replied without a red face and a heartbeat: "Guangzhou people are outstanding people, maybe they can be cured without medicine." ”

Shen Xi smiled coldly, and said angrily: "Guangzhou is indeed an outstanding person, so do you want Brother Tang to go out and have two drinks?" ”

"Shen Zhongcheng's words are in Tang's mind, please." Tang Yin immediately hit the snake with the stick, anyway, he was used to eating and drinking for nothing by Shen Xi's side, and he was not afraid of being embarrassed.

It's getting late now, Tang Yin is thinking, you won't go to see any officials at this time, right? After drinking, I came back and fell asleep, and I slept until tomorrow, wouldn't it be happy?

With this thought, Tang Yin and Shen Xi went out.

Shen Xi really didn't deceive Tang Yin, took him to the nearest wine shop, and ordered two catties of wine, and the dishes were much inferior...... At this time, Shen Xi is also saving money, after all, Hui Niang and Song Xiaocheng have reopened their businesses and need capital turnover, and he has not yet settled his fortune in the past few months, and he has a wife and children to support at home, so he naturally needs to save some money.

Tang Yin poured Shen Xi full of wine with a smile, poured it for himself, picked up the wine glass and said, "Shen Zhongcheng, I would like to give you a glass and thank you for taking care of you along the way." ”

Shen Xi raised his glass: "Listen to Brother Tang, do you want to go back to Suzhou?" ”

"I don't mean that in the next place, I just feel it."

Tang Yin said, took a sip of wine, immediately spit out the wine, turned his head and shouted, "Shopkeeper, this is your best wine?" A pound of water for a tael or two, right? ”

The shopkeeper of the wine shop did not come to the second floor, in fact, Tang Yin really misunderstood people in this matter, but Shen Xi deliberately asked the shopkeeper to do this.

Eating white food all day long, and wanting to drink good wine, let you do things and push back, where is there such a cheap thing in the world?

Shen Xi smiled slightly: "Brother Tang, don't be angry, this merchant likes to cheat on wine and water, I heard that there is a place in this city where the wine is very mellow, I wonder if Brother Tang is willing to go with him?" ”
