As soon as Cai Bantou arrived, he was mistakenly thought that he was going to take the position of Master Meng Yang and dragged him away, of course, Master Meng was still very considerate, and he did not forget to pack Dong Shen and Ding Lian together when he dragged Cai Bantou.

"Yangcheng transfer made Meng Yang visit the adult, the adult was frightened, this is all the fault of the lower official, please punish the adult, those two people have also been arrested, what should be done, it is all up to the adult to deal with it."

Meng Yang walked up to Mo Qian and said. Mo Qian didn't care too much, for him, the most important thing was not on Dong Shen and Ding Lian, the two people who were hungry for profit, besides, he believed that with the consistent style of Yangcheng officials, the two of them and even the family behind them were not much better.

"Master Meng doesn't need to blame himself, after all, this is a sudden thing, no one can expect it, as for those two people, this official is new to the city, and they don't understand many things, you can just deal with it."

"Yes, don't worry, the lower officials will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Meng Yang said solemnly.

Next is the formal welcome ceremony, the suona gongs and drums are beaten, the firecrackers are also crackling along the street, the official sedan chair honor guard for Mo Qian has already been prepared, it seems that the officials of Yangcheng have also put a lot of effort into welcoming Mo Qian.

"Your Excellency, please get on the sedan chair!" The team leader who went to light the firecrackers before said, and at the same time ordered someone to lower the sedan chair, lift the curtain, and make a gesture of please. Mo Qian nodded, and then bowed down and sat in the sedan chair, this is the official sedan chair of the prefect, the real eight-lift sedan chair, although it is not as fine as Mo Qian's own in the capital.

After Mo Qian sat down, the head of the team pinched the mulberry and shouted, "Get up the sedan chair!" So, the originally quiet team suddenly moved, and the third class of officials sounded the gong to open the way, reminding the people in front to avoid.

For example, state and county officials go out and sound gongs and play three or seven gongs, which are called three-stick gongs and seven-stick gongs, which means "quick avoidance" and "military and civilian avoidance".

The Taoist government travels to sound the gong and play the nine-stick gong, which means "the officials, the army and the people are all avoided".

When the senior officials who control the military attache come out, they have to hit eleven gongs, which means that "civil and military officials, military and civilian people, etc., should be avoided."

Officials above the governor came out, because they were the best, and they played thirteen gongs, which means "civil and military officials, officials, soldiers, and civilians all avoid".

When officials travel, they sound gongs to open the way, which is considered a necessary official ceremony; The size of the guard of honor and the number of gongs also reflect the rank of the corresponding guard of honor.

The road leading from Yangcheng Wharf to the prefect's yamen has long been cleared, and ordinary people can only watch from both sides. Mo Qian used the prefect's travel specifications, eleven gongs to open the way, and the officials shouted while striking the gongs, "Zi is gentle and strong, mighty but not fierce, respectful and peaceful", which means that when the prefect should dialectically deal with and grasp the requirements, it cannot go to extremes.

This was followed by avoidance, silence, official rank plates, iron chains, wooden sticks, black sheath whips, gourds, tail guns, black fans, yellow umbrellas and other accompanying honor guards.

Mo Qian, who was sitting on the sedan chair, quietly lifted the curtain, only to see that the people around him were looking at him curiously, the streets followed the river, and the surrounding streets were also very prosperous.

Yangcheng, since ancient times is the famous city of Daqi, known as "the best place in Zhuxi, the famous capital of Huaizuo", Yangcheng in March, in the willows on both sides of the river, in the spring breeze of ten miles, walk here, just like a dream.

Mo Qian smiled, Yangcheng is worthy of the reputation of "Yang Yi Yi Yi Two", and it is no wonder that there is such an infatuation as "the world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and two points of scoundrels are Yangzhou", it seems that this trip to Yangcheng is not as bad as he imagined.

Three quarters of an hour later, Mo Qian finally arrived at the mansion. "Stop the car." The voice of the team leader was heard outside again.

"My lord, the government has arrived."

A soft voice came from outside the sedan chair, and then the curtain was slowly lifted, and Mo Qian walked down. Subsequently, the official sedan chairs of many officials also arrived.

"I'm tired of you today." Mo Qian said.

"No trouble, no trouble." Everyone returned the salute, and Meng Yang said, "Tonight we are in the Heyi Tower to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the prefect, and I hope that the lord will appreciate the light." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Seeing the officials of Yangcheng leave, Mo Qian was also about to go into his own mansion to have a look, at this time Mo Qian looked back in the direction of the street, and suddenly asked: "Yangcheng is really prosperous, even half a beggar can't be seen." ”

"Oh, we've all been driven into the alley."

At this time, the previous team leader was arranging Mo Qian's honor guard, and when he heard Mo Qian's words, he couldn't help but say a word.

But after finishing speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "My lord forgives my sins, and I can't speak...... No, lowly is nonsense. ”

"Hahaha." Mo Qian didn't mind, but instead pursued the other party's words, "Do you say you can't speak, or do you say it's nonsense?" ”

"Eh......" The head of the team was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "Humble position...... Won't speak. ”

"You're also a sincere person, what's your name?" Mo Qian asked, this guy is cute.

"The lowly position is named Xue Huan, and he is the head of the small squad in the barracks."

"Okay, the official remembers you, go get busy."

"Hey, okay." Xue Huan let out a sigh of relief, became relaxed, and then walked away quickly.

Mo Qian looked at Xue Huan's distant figure and sighed, "Sure enough, how much prosperity there is, how much desolation there is." ”

At this time, many Yangcheng officials who sent Mo Qian to the government did not leave, but many gathered at the home of the transfer envoy Meng Yang.

In fact, when the new officials took office, not only Mo Qian was nervous, but also many officials in Yangcheng were not at ease.

In the hall of Meng Yang's house, a group of people sat in two rows, and Meng Yang sat on the upper seat without concession.

"Lord Meng, at tonight's banquet, do you think we should give him a dismount to kill the majesty, or try to win him over?" Lu Liang, the second seat of the prison officer, said.

Everyone looked at Meng Yang, his official position was the biggest here, and of course everyone was looking at him, and the question Lu Liang asked was also what they wanted to ask.

Before Meng Yang could speak, an official below interjected, "I think I have given him enough face today, I don't need to deliberately meet him tonight, if he is interested, he will naturally know what we mean, if he wants to get an inch, then give him some color." ”

"No, this person is a popular person in front of the emperor, it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant, we try to win him over, as long as he doesn't want to touch the issue of Yangcheng salt, we don't have to pay attention to him.

And according to his style on the way to Yangcheng to take office, he must be a greedy man, we only need to use gold and silver beauties to lure him, and he will inevitably take the bait. ”
