There is a well-known restaurant in Anzhou, called Zui Jiangnan. The furnishings and arrangements inside are built in the style of 1510 in accordance with the style of Jiangnan Water Town. Artificially led the living water through the lobby of the restaurant, there were a lot of goldfish in it, the screen in the building was exquisite, the tables and chairs were simple, it was a good place to gather friends for dinner.

The consumption here is naturally the highest in Anzhou, even if there are people with heads and faces in Anzhou who want to come to eat, they have to send someone in advance to set the location, otherwise, the meal is late, and if you want to sit at the gate and serve a bowl, I am afraid you will not be able to find a place.

He Kun personally went to Zuijiangnan to book a private room, and Zhou Liyuan took the guards to send invitations to the officials of the branch office. There are a few sentences on the red invitation: Qin Feigong invited a certain and such a person to get drunk in the Jiangnan Peony Hall at three o'clock to the banquet.

As soon as it was dark, Qin Fei stood outside the south gate of Zuijiang in his regular clothes and greeted the officials of the branch office in person.

But I waited left and right, and I had been standing for half an hour, and I didn't see anyone coming. He Kun had already been unable to suppress the anger in his heart, but Qin Fei was much calmer, and told He Kun with a smile not to be angry and wait with peace of mind. If no one comes by the time, then you can eat this meal by yourself.

A spacious carriage slowly headed in the direction of Zuijiangnan, and there were eight people sitting opposite the car, and in the center was an old man of nearly sixty years old, with gray hair and wrinkles on the back of his hands, but he looked in good spirits. The carriage was slightly bumpy, and the old man's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was recuperating.

"Inspector Feng, it seems that the new town governor will also be a man, we gave him an embarrassment, he turned around and invited us to dinner." The middle-aged inspector sitting opposite the old man said with a smile: "Anton, who is the town governor, isn't it up to us to have the final say?" I heard that Qin Fei is not very old, and he can be regarded as an understanding person. If he offends us, he can't do anything in Anton. ”

Inspector Feng smiled faintly, opened his eyes wider, and said in a deep voice: "It's nearly an hour late, Qin Fei is a young man, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to bear it." We can tease him, and don't go too far. Try his reaction, and if you can make money with us, then take him to play. Otherwise, he will be put in the air, and he will be a bare-bones town governor, and he will expect the dozen or so people under him to do something? We drink wine and make money! ”

"Inspector Feng is high." Several officers shouted in unison.

The carriage slowly stopped, the eight officers walked out of the carriage, Inspector Feng walked in the front, and when he saw Qin Fei wearing the regular uniform of the Prosecutor's Office, he expected to be this person, so he arched his hand again and again: "Governor Qin, I'm really sorry, we're late." ”

"The prosecutor's office is busy with official business, and eating is a trivial matter, so it doesn't hurt to be late." Qin Fei replied with a smile.

Inspector Feng smiled: "The eight of us are playing mahjong, and we said that we can only finish the work after playing sixteen rounds, and we forget the time when we fight, but fortunately, there are a lot of people in Qin Town, so they don't care about us." ”

He Kun suddenly became angry in his heart, a small one, and turned the sky upside down? The town governor invited you to dinner, but you didn't come to pick up the wind in the afternoon, but went to play mahjong? Now I dare to say it arrogantly, it's just too much to see. According to He Kun's temper, he was about to have a seizure at this time, but he saw Qin Fei's left hand behind his back and shook it a few times, signaling him not to get angry.

"Playing mahjong is also a sport, exercise your brain!" Qin Fei let go of the door: "Let's go to the private room first, He Kun, tell the kitchen, you can serve the food." ”

The eight officers had a look on their faces, and they saw that Qin Fei was nothing more than that, the eight of them had been entrenched in Anton for at least ten years, and they all had some strong relationships in the General Administration of the Procuratorate, and the previous town governors either chose to make money with them, or they were thrown aside, and they couldn't help them. Qin Fei in front of him, I heard that there are some means, but a young man who is less than twenty years old, no matter how powerful he is, what can he do? Don't you have to obediently serve the old-timers?

In the Peony Hall, a carved wooden round table was in the center, and twelve seats were placed around it, and the eight officers honestly and unceremoniously divided the seats first, leaving four empty seats for Qin Fei, Zhou Liyuan, He Kun, and Li Hunu.

Qin Fei personally raised the teapot, poured tea on the cup in front of everyone, sat down and said: "Today is Qin Fei's first day in Anzhou, you are all old-timers of the Anzhou Prosecutor's Office, the wine is not served yet, let Qin Fei replace the wine with tea first, and toast you with a cup." ”

The eight officers wet their lips, put down their teacups, and Inspector Feng leaned comfortably on the big chair and said, "The Prosecutor's Office is really full of heroes, I think when I was in the Eastern Capital, I was a guard for Governor Yi. The prosecutor's office is full of old faces, and newcomers are rarely on top. In the past ten or twenty years, many outstanding figures in the Prosecutor's Office have become famous when they were young, and the old man has the honor to witness a few. I think back then, when Admiral Yuan was still the governor of Andong Town......"

Qin Fei interrupted Inspector Feng's speech with a smile, and said softly: "Inspector Feng is the predecessor of our Inspector's Office, and many of the same commanders and town governors have all walked out of your hands. I think that Inspector Feng must also be a model of dedication to the Prosecutor's Office. ”

"That's it!" Old man Feng said lightly: "When I worked hard for the Prosecutor's Office...... Hehe, to say something offensive, Qin Zhendu didn't know where he was at that time. ”

"Since that's the case, Qin Fei will have something to say directly." Qin Fei said seriously.

"If Governor Qin has anything, just say, I Feng Old Man is on the ground in Anton, and his words still have some weight. Qin Zhendu has just arrived, and if he encounters any difficulties, if he can help, I will definitely help. ”

He Kun's eyes rolled, and he heard the taste of his words - I am the head snake of Anton, what you can't settle, don't worry, I can settle it. But you don't have to put up any town governor shelf with me, you can do it honestly and work together, and it will be your benefit. Otherwise, if I don't help, your difficulties will always be a problem.

How did Old Man Feng know that what Qin Fei was best at was cheeky and beating snakes with sticks?

"When Inspector Feng said this, I was relieved." Qin Fei said gratefully: "According to the rules of the imperial court, officials below the fifth rank will retire when they reach the age of fifty-five, and they can enjoy the imperial court until they are sixty years old, and then receive the pension of the imperial court." In my opinion, Inspector Feng is almost sixty years old this year, and he has been doing his best for the Anton Branch, but people's energy is limited, and I heard that Inspector Feng is full of children and grandchildren, and the fourth generation of great-grandchildren has just been born. In my opinion, it is better for Inspector Feng to unload his heavy official duties, retire his old age, and share the joy of family. ”

Old Man Feng's face was the same as those officers, and he changed color in an instant! I thought that the young man in front of me was easy to deal with, and the first thing this bastard did when he met was to take down the fat shortage of the old man Feng......

Qin Fei's words sounded good, but the taste was not so good. Implication: Old man, don't stand in the pit and don't, go home and hug your great-grandson......

"I was born as a member of the Prosecutor's Office, and I died as a ghost of the Prosecutor's Hall. In ancient times, famous generals in their seventies could still kill and capture the flag, and Feng was only fifty-nine years old, how can he talk about old age? I want to dedicate my life to the Prosecutor's Office, to the Anton Branch, Governor Qin, your kindness, the old man understands it. But, really, no. I'm in good spirits now, and I won't have a problem working for another 10 years. Old man Feng lukewarmly pushed Qin Fei's nail back.

"Inspector Feng doesn't need to be polite, he will go through the handover procedures tomorrow. In life, you can't just do official business, your children and grandchildren need you too. Qin Fei said sincerely.

Old man Feng sighed: "I am a hard worker, and I feel uncomfortable when I am not in the prosecutor's office for a day......"

Qin Fei coughed lightly and picked up the teacup.

He Kun knew that it was time for him to appear, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Inspector Feng, you love the prosecutor's hall so much, and I, a junior, also admire it very much." That's good, tomorrow Inspector Feng confessed his official duties, and then retired, and then asked the town governor to hire the inspector again, and arrange individual positions for you in the Anton Branch. It's all about exerting residual heat, Feng Inspector Gao Feng Liangjie, he will definitely not mind what position he does, I think the porter of the branch office lacks an experienced, good at dealing with people, eloquent and good stewardship. Inspector Feng might as well go there and continue to dedicate himself to the Anton Branch. ”

"What are you? Is there a part of your interjection here? An officer beside Old Man Feng was furious, pointing at He Kun's nose and scolding.

Qin Fei said with a smile: "He is the liaison officer of the branch office, he is a person, of course it is not a thing, this is ......"

The officer said proudly: "Inspector Mei Fan of the Military Intelligence Section." ”

"It turned out to be Inspector May." He Kun's mouth was not only good at bragging, but also never forgiving, and said with a smile: "Of course the inspector can interject." You plug it in, I'm not a thing, you're a thing. ”

Seeing that this was about to become a battlefield for quarrels, Old Man Feng stretched out his index finger and knocked on the table, interrupting the two of them who were tense, and said lightly: "Governor Qin, it's not that the old man doesn't want to retreat. However, Anton is different from other places, many things have to be done by experienced people, and if the old man retires, many things in the Anton branch office will not be able to do. When the time comes, the General Administration will blame you, and it will be the town governor who suffers. ”

"For example?" Qin Fei asked rhetorically.

Old man Feng smiled slightly: "Governor Qin, if the activities of Wei Wushu are discovered in Andong today, it is impossible to concentrate and exterminate them with the wolf fangs scattered all over the place, and it is inevitable that the local government and the army will cooperate." If Qin Zhendu went to the Yamen to ask for soldiers by himself, alas, you don't know how difficult it is, those people are desperately grabbing if they have benefits, and pushing desperately if they are risky. Eighty percent, you don't need a soldier. If the old man was in the Andong branch, this old face would have been sold in Andong for almost forty years. People of all sizes are given a few thin noodles, and a few soldiers can be sent out. ”

Old man Feng lowered his voice: "If the town governor is not effective in exterminating the rebels and is impeached by the imperial history, even if the governor wants to protect you, I am afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns." ”

"I see." Qin Fei said with a smile: "Then you can really retreat!" ”
