Chapter 52: Calm Things Down
Under the service of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, Mao Wenlong officially dressed in the uniform of the governor of Zuodu. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and Mao Wenlong wears formal clothes and is a talent.
Sao Bao took the eight masters' steps, just like singing, and walked to the front hall step by step. This is the first time Mao Wenlong has worn formal clothes, although it is not so comfortable, but it is very sassy and quite general-like.
In the front hall, Chen Jisheng was chatting with an old man, accompanied by Shen Qing, obviously this old man should be the county order.
As soon as Mao Wenlong arrived at the door, Chen Jisheng found that he got up to greet him and introduced the county order who got up together: "This is the left governor of Liaodong." This is the prefectural magistrate of Ye County! ”
The county commander squinted a pair of small eyes, looked at Mao Wenlong carefully, and at the same time clasped his fists and said: "I have heard the name of the Governor of Zuo for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of its reputation, and it is really a talent!" ”
"Awards have been awarded, the county has made the adults old and strong, and the dignified appearance is really a rare good official in Ye County. The governor of Pontus also stayed here for a few days, and the people were full of praise for the county commander, and they all called you a good official of the blue sky. ”
When it comes to polite words, Mao Wenlong initiates a rush in a set, which is not inferior to the county order in front of him.
There are a lot of people who can speak the Tao, and the county order has seen a lot, but there are very few generals like Mao Wenlong who can speak the Tao.
"This son should not be underestimated!" The county commander secretly paid in his heart, and immediately cheered up his spirit.
As soon as the two met, they bragged to each other, giving goosebumps to the ground as Shen Qing and Chen Jisheng who were waiting in the room.
Especially Chen Jisheng looked at Mao Wenlong like a monster, this was not the performance of the Zuo Dudu he knew. At this moment, he is completely like a different person, which is strange.
After everyone was shabby, they sat down separately, and Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "I don't know why the county commander came here today?" ”
Mao Wenlong asked knowingly, and the county order was not ambiguous, and said with a smile: "Don't beat around the bush, this county order is naturally coming for the sake of the governor and the Shen family." ”
"Oh, but I don't know what the Shen family means?" Mao Wenlong's face was straight, and he squinted at the county order.
"Well, this matter has been investigated clearly in this county, Shen Shangxuan is indeed at fault first, and he provoked the head of the governor, and he also caused himself to have this fate today. But the governor also has something wrong, and he also pays people directly, which is a bit unreasonable! ”
"Then the county commander might as well tell me what the Shen family wants?" Mao Wenlong is still calm and calm, and he doesn't seem to take the Shen family in his eyes.
The county commander frowned, and seemed to be slightly dissatisfied with Mao Wenlong's performance at the moment: "Listening to the tone of the governor, it seems that he still has a lot of criticism for the Shen family. ”
Mao Wenlong no longer pretended to be polite, and immediately sneered: "What's more, if it weren't for the face of Old Patriarch Shen, I would have cut off Shen Shangxuan's head on the spot that day." ”
The county magistrate immediately put away the smile on his face: "Don't deceive people too much, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and you can see each other in the future if you leave a line." ”
"According to the county order, what do you mean, do you mean that the Shen family wants to settle things?" The corners of Mao Wenlong's mouth lifted slightly, and he chuckled.
After this brief answer, the county magistrate already had a general understanding of Mao Wenlong's original intention. Obviously, as long as the Shen family doesn't pursue it anymore, he can not pursue it.
The county commander hesitated for a moment, nodded and simply admitted: "That's right, but I don't know ......what the governor means." ”
"Hahaha, as the county magistrate said, it is good to see each other in the future, and the governor of Pontus is not a very unreasonable person, so it is okay to forget about this matter."
The county magistrate sighed, Mao Wenlong was willing to calm things down, this is no better, he can also save a lot of trouble.
Although it was the Shen family that suffered this time, the county commander, as a member of the Shen family, should not be able to show weakness like this. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and Mao Wenlong is even the official to the governor of the left, which is several levels more than his county order.
However, the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty were different, and although Mao Wenlong's official position was large, he was not the top boss of the county order. Therefore, the county order does not need to be too afraid of Mao Wenlong, but it is also because Wufu has always been reckless and likes to do things according to his own preferences.
If you don't get into a fight, a small county town really can't stand the toss, and in the end, even if the Shen family can really take advantage of it, the payment will definitely not be small.
Therefore, it is the wisest choice for both sides to settle matters now. The county order was no longer hypocritical, and when he saw that the matter had been decided, he immediately got up and retreated.
Mao Wenlong watched the county order leave, and turned to look at Shen Qing: "How did you talk to this county commander two days ago, did he promise to help you sit on the patriarch's matter?" ”
Shen Qing immediately stepped forward and replied: "This county order didn't clearly say what it was like at that time, it just said that he would be allowed to think about it and there would be no follow-up. ”
Hearing this, Mao Wenlong smiled: "Then today's county order is obviously not just to talk about the Shen family. ”
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment: "What does the governor mean...... The county ordered him to ....... ”
Mao Wenlong nodded: "Yes, judging from his performance just now, it is already certain that he supports you as the head of the Shen family." ”
Even if Shen Qingdang became excited, the second uncle of the Shen family had already said that he would support him. Now that the key figure of the Shen family, the county order, has also expressed his support, then his position as the patriarch can already be determined to be unable to run.
But at this time, Shen Qing looked at Mao Wenlong in surprise, and he suddenly thought of why Mao Wenlong would be ruthless and abolished Shen Shangxuan!
Shen Qing said incredulously: "The Governor shouldn't have deliberately abolished Shen Shangxuan, right?" ”
Mao Wenlong laughed evilly: "What do you say? ”
Leaving behind the shocked Shen Qing, Mao Wenlong once again walked back to find Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan. The iron needs to be hot, and finally Hong Ziyan finally agreed to be her own woman, she can't give up halfway, and stick to the past whenever she is free, and deepen the feelings between each other.
Back in the backyard, Mao Wenlong immediately changed back into his regular clothes, although the formal clothes were very sassy on his body, they were uncomfortable.
Humming a little song in his mouth, Mao Wenlong seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and the things that he had been worried about for two days finally ended safely. The Shen family chose to settle the matter, and everyone was happy to save trouble.
Hong Ziyan promised to be her own woman again, although she had not yet obtained the consent of her father Hong Chengchou, and the matter had not really been decided. But as long as Hong Ziyan herself agrees, it will not be a problem for Mao Wenlong.
When he came to the backyard, Mao Wenlong heard the laughter of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, and was about to step in, when suddenly Chen Jisheng's shout came from behind him: "Governor!" ”
Following the prestige, I saw Chen Jisheng trotting over: "Dudu, there is a carriage outside, I don't know who it is, this is a prayer." ”
