Chapter 174: Smiling Tiger

The atmosphere in the Peony Hall suddenly dropped to freezing, and none of the eight officers could still sit still. The seemingly harmless young man in front of him, with his aggressive momentum, made them a little at a loss. For more than ten years, there have been several governors of Anton, who has ever been so rude to them?

"Governor Qin is confident that one person can solve the relationship between the Andong government, the army, and the local government?" Old Man Feng's tone carried an obvious threat to it.

"If it can't be solved, I'll quit." Qin Fei said nonchalantly: "I'm only less than twenty years old, and there will be a lot of opportunities in the future." I became a town governor at such a young age, and even if I messed up in Anton, I could be transferred somewhere else. I know that there are people who are very familiar with Governor Yuan, and I also know that there are people who are familiar with Governor Yi, but ......"

Qin Fei paused, and coldly threw out a sentence: "I'm more familiar with them." The fact that other town governors don't dare to breathe in front of them doesn't mean that I don't dare. ”

Old man Feng sneered: "Governor Qin's meal is really not so easy to eat, and before the meal comes up, I have been cut to the people." If he finishes this meal, the old man doesn't know if he will have his life to go home! ”

"This should be there!" Qin Fei said lightly: "Killing people has never been a last resort, and I won't do it." ”

Everyone heard the murderous intent in Qin Fei's words, don't force me, don't mess with me, otherwise, it may be 'last resort' at any time.

Mei Fan relied on the strength of the crowd and snorted coldly: "Since the Governor of Qin Zhen wants to seal the inspector and retire, it is better to fire me." ”

"That's what Inspector Mei said herself." Qin Fei turned his head to look at Zhou Liyuan: "Write it down, since Inspector Mei has this request, I will definitely satisfy him." ”

"You ......" Mei Fan felt a surge of anger rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his palms were already under the table, ready to lift the table.

A big wrinkled hand pressed his palm, Old Man Feng glanced at him, the two of them didn't need to speak, eye contact was the experience of the heart. Mei Fan held back his anger and looked up to the sky and snorted: "Okay, sure enough, the new official took office with three fires, and dismissed me and Inspector Feng one after another, are you going to take down all the inspectors of our eight major departments?" ”

"Oh no!" Qin Fei smiled and said, "Since you invite everyone to dinner, you have to discuss it kindly." Inspector Feng is because he is old, and I sympathize with him to enjoy the joy of family. As for Inspector Mei, your official position was granted to you by the imperial court, and you are asked to contribute to the country. And not for you to use it as a cover to threaten me. So, if you don't want to do it, I will fulfill you. ”

"Six inspectors, who else doesn't want to do it?" Qin Fei's gaze swept over one by one.

No one would touch Qin Fei's bad luck at this time, and they refused to answer with silence, expressing their silent anger.

The door was knocked twice, and the shopkeeper pushed the door in, and the wine was brought up like a stream.

"Stay, eat, I'm absolutely welcome." Qin Fei said lazily: "If you want to leave, I won't force it." ”

"The old man will not accompany him." Where is the old man Feng still in the mood to entertain Qin Fei, his mind is full of how to get the field back, he immediately stood up, bowed his hand, turned around and left.

The seven inspectors stood up and walked out with Old Man Feng.

"Send the old man a ride." Qin Fei commanded slowly.

Li Hunu left the seat, he was burly, not angry but mighty, two or three steps to the old man Feng's side, lifting the old man Feng with his collar, walking to the door, and throwing it out. Just listen to the sound of 'pop'...... It stands to reason that those who can stand guard at Governor Yi's house should still have some skills when they are older, but unfortunately, he faced Li Hunu, the first fierce general in Northern Xinjiang, and he had nowhere to exert his strength in his whole body under a grab, and he fell firmly. If it weren't for Old Man Feng's good health, he would have had a heart attack, cerebral infarction or something like that.

"Are the seven going too?" Qin Fei raised his eyes and asked lightly.

"Well, we're just sending off the old man." Even Mei Fan knew that now he was fighting against Qin Fei, and he could only suffer a loss in front of him, and the seven of them secretly glanced at the old man Feng who was holding his waist and struggling to get up outside the hall, so he had to sit down.

Qin Fei raised his glass: "I'm the best person to speak, but I have a bad temper, but whenever I'm the leader, I like to have the final say on my own." My rules are the rules of my subordinates. If someone thinks that I should do things according to their rules, then I'm sorry, I, Qin Fei, will touch him to see if his porcelain is hard or my clay pot is strong. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The seven inspectors whispered.

"I know you're a little unconvinced. But I'm also holding back the fire in my belly! Qin Fei stood up, walked slowly around the table, and walked behind everyone: "I am a town governor, and I have a head and a face in the east. When I arrived in Anton, none of my subordinates went out to greet me, and none of my subordinates gave me a pick-up, let alone any kind of meeting and filial piety. When I invite you to dinner, one by one you are still holding the shelf, and you are an hour late. ”

"Time is life, time is money." Qin Fei sighed and said, "You have wasted an hour of my life, some little insects, it is only an hour from birth to death." I really want not to be angry, but it's hard for me to do it, but I also know that if I use my official position to pressure you, you won't accept it. If I start beating you, you will suffer a loss today, and tomorrow you may have to find someone to shoot my black bricks. So, I can only reason with you. ”

"When you're old, just retire. It's not that I haven't made enough, I have been in charge of the money for decades, and I have a full stomach, and I still want to make money? Be content. Qin Fei groaned: "I want him to retreat, just to give him face." If you don't give face, I will directly detain him and ask Zhou Liyuan to send him to the Dongdu Supervision Department for questioning, you say, does the Supervision Department give me face, or give him face? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The inspectors replied tremblingly.

"I'll just say it ahead, whether you like to hear it or not. In the future, we will have the opportunity to compete. Qin Fei said with a smile: "I said, this town governor, it's a big deal that I messed up and went back to the Eastern Capital." However, your roots are in Anton, and if you are not careful, you will be messed up by me. Where are you going? ”

A drop of sweat fell from Mei Fan's forehead and fell into the teacup in front of him, with a slight sound, but he didn't dare to reach out and wipe it.

"Don't be so nervous. Eat, eat! Qin Fei sat down and picked up his chopsticks: "Let me taste the most famous restaurant in Anzhou, what level is it?" ”

"Our town governor is really a smiling tiger...... He Kun said in Zhou Liyuan's ear: "Even scared, several inspectors are now honest like watchdogs." ”

"It's not that easy, if these people were simply subdued, it would be impossible for them to be called the Eight Heavenly Kings in the Anton Branch." Zhou Liyuan whispered in his ear: "The town governor said, we must be ready to fight a protracted war, and Anton has tried his best to figure it out for him this trip." ”

"You two stop talking nonsense, eat!" Qin Fei picked up the wine glass and touched it with everyone...... Guests and hosts have fun.

The dilapidated house of the Anton Branch Office was really not something that Her Royal Highness the delicate and expensive princess could live in, and was bitten by a few uninteresting mosquitoes, so the ninth princess walked to the porch depressedly for a walk, smelling a smell of wine from a distance, and when she looked back, it was Qin Fei who had already returned after being full of wine and food.

"Qin Fei......" The Ninth Princess frowned, "Stay away from me, you smell of alcohol." By the way, let me tell you something, you can go find some craftsmen to come back and renovate this place. Where can people live here, there are so many mosquitoes in the room that they can suck up human blood, and there is actually a mouse running through the corner, and I know that Suo Suo is not scary......"

"Alas, the branch office only has seventeen taels of public silver, and I invited people to dinner tonight, but I couldn't report the public account. Where did you get the money to repair the house? Qin Fei complained.

"Small!" The ninth princess said with a smile: "Such a big yamen, after the renovation, it will be about the same if there is a twenty or thirty thousand taels, and I will come out with the money." ”

A rich woman is a rich woman, twenty or thirty thousand taels looks like nothing more than a drop in the bucket to others, and now the ninth princess is not a beautiful girl in Qin Fei's eyes, but a pile of gold ingots!

"Forget it, if I have the money to repair the yamen and the money to pay my subordinates, Ming'er's wolf tooth troops will have to mutiny." Qin Fei shook his head and said.

"Can the military pay be worse?" The ninth princess's eyes widened, she was in the deep palace, and she often heard her father talk about national affairs, and she also knew that officials were greedy for ink, but she never thought that someone would dare to move such a thing as military salaries, which could cause mutiny at any time?

"It's not that he's all greedy, it's just that there is a difference of eight thousand taels every month."

The ninth princess patted her full chest and said lightly: "It's only eight thousand taels, if you are short of money, I can lend it to you." ”

Qin Fei shook his head: "No, you can pay in advance for a month or two." But what if it's a year or two? Do you want to advance two or three hundred thousand taels? This amount of money is not a small amount for you, princess. Moreover, it is not the right way to use our own money to make up for the shortfall of others. ”

Qin Fei was telling the truth, and the Ninth Princess thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Then do you want me to write a letter back to the Eastern Capital, tell me about the situation here, and let my father send a minister to deal with it?" ”

"Don't." Qin Fei smiled, this girl has been in the deep palace all the time, and she knows little about the world. It is common sense that no official is not greedy, and he has worked hard to be an official, if he doesn't make a profit, how can he be worthy of himself? It's not that there are no honest and honest officials, but there are too few. Most of the officials have some oil and water to some extent. For example, this place is more special, and the local forces far exceed the officials sent by the imperial court, so the situation is naturally more serious.

The ninth princess was silent, and in the night, she looked beautiful and refined in white. But that wasn't the reason Qin Fei was staring at her.

"Princess, there is a very interesting thing, after a long night of sleeping, or shall we make a pot of tea and have a long talk?" Qin Fei said ill-intentionedly.
