Gu Feng and his sister Gu Yun, their hearts were hanging at this time.

Where can the old lady and Cao'er go?

In fact, the two of them didn't go far, because Miao Yong came back to see Mrs. Miao Xiang, and the date of Gu Feng's appointment was still far away, so Mrs. Miao Xiang estimated that Gu Feng and Gu Yun would not come back so early, so they went to the headquarters of her younger brother, Gu Feng's uncle Miao Hong's "Zishentang" Chinese medicine store. The headquarters of "Zishentang" is also in a big mountain near here, and it is not very convenient to enter and exit, but "Zishentang" has not had the financial and manpower to move out and develop.

If they can't see their mother, they are all a little sad, but fortunately, they know that their mother is not in danger.

Gu Feng's return did not alarm the Gu family, but he secretly sent someone to inform a few of his good friends. Qin Dui, Liu Li, Xia Qian, Xia Kun, and Sima Yingen, Gu Feng is ready to take them all away, find something to do, and in the yamen or in the medicinal herb business, like Qin Dui's opera troupe, they can move to the city where his state capital is located to open a garden. Gu Feng is also ready to slowly reorganize and reorganize Liu Li's "thief" organization and Xia Qian's "Flower Gang", and then accept him into his villa to do business, which can be regarded as turning from dark to light, and by the way, it can also help more beggars not to go hungry. Gu Feng initially envisioned merging Lingzhi Villa with his uncle's Purple Ginseng Hall, and told his mother later and asked her to handle it.

According to the arrangement of the ministry, the ancient Lingzhou magistrate had to arrive one month earlier than the talented magistrate to handle government affairs. Originally, they had time to go home to visit their mother, thinking of accompanying their mother at home for a few days, but they did not see their mother when they returned home, so they had to return to the prefectural capital to take office in advance, and they happened to avoid the welcome ceremony in the state capital and county.

Gu Feng first set up a team in the official post, including the talented couple, and then led his sister, who was still in men's clothing, as well as Wang Zhao, Ma Han and other eight guards into the Zhizhou Mansion. The gate is quite wide and pompous, but the yard is a mess. A group of ten of them entered the yamen in casual clothes, and they were not interrogated or hindered after entering the door, and after standing in the door and looking around for a while, they saw an elderly official instructing a group of miscellaneous servants to clean up and sort out the state yamen.

It was close to noon, and the officials were lazy and reluctant to do it. The old man seemed to be an official who was not in the rank of the state capital and the history, or an auxiliary official from the sixth or seventh grade, from the seventh grade of the same knowledge, the general judge, etc., I saw that he picked up a broom in his hand and personally cleaned up the fallen leaves at the entrance of the yamen, and while working, his mouth was still urging, "It's been three days, we haven't cleaned up the state ya, and when the new governor of the state comes to take office, it's no wonder that I don't take the board!" ”

"Master Zhou, we have so many auxiliary officials and handymen here such as the classics and masters, they don't work, they just shout to welcome the new Lord Zhizhou, so where is Lord Zhizhou? Just a few of us are working hard, and we are almost exhausted. ”

"Don't care if others do the work or not, as subordinates, we should serve, it's their business if they don't work, some people I can't manage, but you are what I can manage, then you must be dutiful, understand? Hurry up and get to work! The state government has already been sorted out, and there is only this outside, which will be done soon. I heard that our new Zhizhou master is a generalist in humanities and martial arts, and he was given a golden plaque by the emperor 'Oral Champion Lang'. ”

"I've also heard that it's just the emperor's dictation...... Isn't the real champion still the Kaifeng Mansion Sun Xian's? ”

"The oracle is also a holy decree and an imperial order! On the emperor's list, this Lord Zhizhou is also on the list. ”

"That's right! I listened to my cousin's son-in-law's younger brother who worked in the palace, our new Zhizhou was born in Bangyan, because he was all-round in civil and military affairs, good-looking, white-faced scholar, and the emperor of the Qionglin banquet was the emperor's dragon face Dayue, and he was orally named the champion. ”

"Okay, work, work! I hope that our Lord Xinzhizhou is a big clean official. ”

At this time, we had reached the center of the spacious martial arts arena in the ya, and as we continued to walk inside, the old man sweeping the floor called out to them.

"Hey! A few sons, please, stay! Excuse me, what's the matter with you? This is a stately place, how can outsiders be allowed to trespass? ”

Gu Feng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The old man is invited!" We are friends of the new governor, and we have come to the state government from other places to meet old friends. ”

"Oh! Please go back first! Our Lord Zhizhou hasn't arrived yet! Come back in three days! ”

"Will it be the day when Lord Zhizhou arrives in three days?"

"The above is notified! Aren't we getting ready to welcome adults now? ”

"Then, ask the old man, why are only a few of you busy in the entire state government?"

"This ...... How to say it! The same old man and the general judge are also busy......"

"Are they busy greeting adults?"

"I don't know this old man!"

When Gu Feng and the old man were talking, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a white face who did not need to be like a eunuch walked from behind the official palace, and there was an old goshawk on his right arm, and more than a dozen soaps and servants were followed behind him.

Seeing the visitor, the other handymen who were busy kneeling down and saying hello: "Good morning, Lord Tongzhi!" ”

"Good morning fart! It's noon. Gu Feng scolded in his heart, looked at the old man, the old man just held the broom and bowed slightly, bent slightly, his face was calm, and he didn't speak.

"Hehehe...... Zhou Dian Shi worked hard! When the new Lord Zhizhou comes, he must remember your first credit, inside and outside the state office, I didn't speak, and you cleaned up. Over there! There is a general sentence Wang Lao'er who is conscientiously on duty, and I heard that he has been training some soldiers in the past two days, saying that he is welcoming the arrival of Xinzhizhou. Ok, good, good! Hehehe......"

Lord Tongzhi looked at the handymen who knelt on the ground to greet him as if they were nothing, and walked all the way to meet the people here, as if no one was around, they just talked and laughed, and they always felt that it was not yin or yang to make people unappetizing. The intuition given by Tongzhi is that this guy is not a good bird! Does he approve of the hard work of his subordinates, or is he unhappy about it? How is it a bit cynical?

"Tongzhi-sama! You can't always treat your subordinates in such a weird way, what we do is the work of our duties. ”

"Hehehe...... Old Zhou! I'm not praising you! ”

"Then thank you, Lord Guo! My lord, you've been an eagle for almost ten years, haven't you? Not dead yet? ”

"Hehehe...... Look at what Lao Zhou is saying, what do you mean by 'my eagle'? It's 'This Eagle of Mine'! Scold me for being an eagle? Look, isn't this still in good spirits? ”

"Oh! Yes, yes, 'this eagle of yours' can really live! ”

"Oops! What do you individuals do? How can outsiders trespass on the state's important land? Lord Tongzhi didn't seem to notice that Gu Feng was in a row of ten people, but a head-catcher-looking person behind him pointed at them and shouted angrily.

Without waiting for Gu Feng to talk, Zhou Dianshi said happily and lightly: "Xu Zhutou, these are the friends of the adults of Xinzhizhou, they came to find the adults early......

"Then go back and wait! What are you doing here! The man known as Xu Zhutou said very ruthlessly, without the slightest hint of friendliness on his face.

Gu Feng looked at this sinister-looking and short-looking head catcher and said deliberately: "We are all good people of the Ming Dynasty, isn't entering the Ming Dynasty official office like entering your own home?" What's more, our friend is the chief officer here, and we still want to visit here! ”

"What? No way! Do you say that you are a good citizen? I think all of you look like gangsters......"
