In the signing room, just as everyone was discussing, they suddenly saw Cao Bin running in, only to see him look anxious, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted out of breath: "Lord County, Lord Prefect is here!"

Wu Ruxiong was taken aback: "The prefect arrived so soon?"

Cao Bin gasped: "Yes, I have already arrived at the gate of the county yamen......"

The people didn't have time to think about it, so they were busy bunching up, preparing to go out to meet the prefect. Wu Ruxiong hurriedly straightened his seven-grade long-winged hat, his hands and feet were flustered, his green seven-grade official uniform was put on his big belly as if he was pregnant in October, which looked very funny, he walked in front with a shy stomach, and kept muttering: "Go, go, let's go to meet the prefect together."

Song Ting was quite surprised, the official document said that the transfer envoy would go to Yongtai tomorrow, could it be that the prefect would not accompany him tomorrow...... Do you want to explain something first? At this time, after listening to Wu Ruxiong's urging, and seeing that Master Ding and the others walked out of the signing room one after another, they didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly followed......

A cadre walked out of the gate of the county government, and saw that between the two stone lions, there was already a sedan chair with a purple cloud head and a red curtain, and there were more than a dozen mansion officials and two long followers standing next to the sedan chair, and there were four brocade guards riding pumas behind them...... This battle is actually very low-key, and if it were a prefect with a full official faction, it might be one or two hundred people.

Song Ting didn't see the shadow of a forbidden army or a box soldier, so he guessed that Wu Kui might not have moved troops yet...... But it can't be as simple as casually putting on official authority, there must be something important to be in such a hurry.

At this time, Wu Ruxiong straightened his clothes, walked to the sedan chair that the prefect was riding, looked solemn, and saluted: "The lower officials greet the prefect on behalf of the villagers of this county!"

"Greetings to the Prefect!" A group of people behind Wu Ruxiong saluted at the same time.

At this time, Wu Kuicai lifted the sedan curtain from the sedan chair and walked out, he was wearing a scarlet robe and five-grade official uniform, the official uniform was painted with landscape paintings, with a silverfish bag around his waist, a long-winged five-grade official hat on his head, and black satin and white cloth mille-feuille official boots on his feet, his face looked thin and his eyes were shining.

Wu Ruxiong didn't dare to look up at his boss, but lowered his head and said, "Uncle Clan, the lower officials have lost their welcome, and I ask Uncle Clan to atone for his sins!" Wu Kui is his uncle of the same clan, and he can sit firmly in the position of the magistrate, but it all depends on Wu Kui's hand.

Wu Kui waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's all my own family, so there is no need for these false courtesies."

Wu Ruxiong dared to step forward and get closer, and asked Uncle Clan with a smile if everything was going well recently, and then said with a smile that the county's special Yutian tea sent to Uncle Clan last time was still used to drinking, and this time let people prepare more for Uncle Clan to take with him.

After greeting the two uncles and nephews of the same sect for a while, Wu Kui slowly walked to Song Ting, with a little appreciation in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Song Sheng is really quite talented, your ten articles of the "Civilized Township Covenant", this official thinks it is very interesting, stay in a few months to see the results, and this official will follow suit in all counties......"

Song Ting smiled faintly, hugged his fists and said, "The prefect has won the award." Thanks to the love of the prefect, Xiaosheng dares not to do his best to assist the county lord? ”

Although he said this on the surface, he was complaining in his heart that Wu Ruxiong, a dead fat man, would not be able to try the case and govern the people, so he would only make oil and water and marry a concubine...... Otherwise, he also wants to be an idle master, why be so tired.

Wu Kui looked at him approvingly again, and couldn't help but regret recommending him to the small county office, if he had been his master at the beginning, maybe it would have helped his career a little......

Now above the court, there are three people who are most favored in front of the emperor: one is his mentor Cai Jing Cai Taishi; the other is the eunuch Tong Guan, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, in charge of 800,000 forbidden troops and 3 million troops from all walks of life. And the other one, who is also a high-ranking person, is the emperor of the dynasty, the elder brother of the queen, and the uncle of the country, and is very good at clever words and flattery, and won the favor of the emperor.

Dong Cheng, his immediate boss, was Prime Minister Wang's henchman. He served as the prefect under Dong Cheng, so he naturally had to be more cautious to prevent the official from wearing small shoes. If there is a smart person like Song Ting, who is talented, flexible, and not pedantic, to help, he thinks that he can sleep much more peacefully every day. But now, since Song Ting has been put in the Yongtai County Yamen, let him work for a while, and then it will not be difficult to transfer him to the prefect's yamen for an excuse.

"Uncle Clan, I don't know if you came to this county in person for the purpose of Lord Dong coming tomorrow......" At this time, Wu Ruxiong slowly walked behind Wu Kui and asked.

"Hmm." Wu Kui nodded slightly, raised his robe, and said, "It's for this."

"Uncle Na...... You go inside first, and you sit inside and say. Wu Ruxiong hunched his waist with a flattering smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of false invitation.

Who knows, Wu Kui waved his hand and said: "No, I still have to rush to the Jiangyou battalion to transfer troops, and I won't enter the county government of the virtuous nephew."

Wu Ruxiong said: "That nephew will not delay the affairs of the clan uncle, so he will listen here."

Wu Kui didn't say much useless words, so he directly began to assign affairs, such as Qingshui Splash Street, Loess Pad Road, Tidy Street, etc., if Lord Dong wants to go to the teahouse, restaurant, Goolan Zhangtai and other places, the shopkeepers are not allowed to ask for money, and beggars are not allowed on the street, etc.

After sending the mission, Wu Kui pulled Wu Ruxiong to his side and muttered a few words in his ear, Wu Ruxiong's face suddenly changed, and he was surprised: "Ah? Hebei jade unicorn? ”

Song Ting only heard this sentence, but he couldn't hear what they whispered, and then he saw Wu Kui glaring at Wu Ruxiong, signaling him not to be public, just do what he was told, seeing Wu Ruxiong nodded his head blankly, he just said "go", and then got on the sedan chair and said "go", and the sedan chair drivers carried the sedan chair and left the gate of the county government, and the guards and guards also followed.

"Congratulations to the prefect!" Wu Ruxiong led the county officials to salute again, until the sedan chair disappeared from sight, and then he dared to put his hand down, showing a hint of slackness.

Song Ting looked at Wu Ruxiong's complicated face, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: This transfer made Master Dong come to Yongtai, is it here to collect wind, or to pass by, or something else? It seems that the prefect Wu Kui knows, and he also told the prefect Wu Ruxiong just now, it may involve secrets, Wu Ruxiong should not tell him...... However, he had just heard the "Hebei Jade Qilin...... What is this jade unicorn?

He didn't understand, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, tomorrow, the answer would naturally be revealed, and this matter probably didn't have much to do with him.

Following Wu Ruxiong back to the signing room, this fat guy suddenly became serious, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to distribute tasks: "There are some things to be busy today, and I want to trouble you."

He sent the county lieutenant Shi to take people to drive the beggars on the street, instructed Ding Zhushu to find someone to go to the street to clear the streets, let Cao Zhutou go to rectify the street security, and finally called Song Ting to the front and asked him to supervise the work.

The site of the overseer is the only Hongqiao on the Xiaoqinhuai River. At this time, the workshop manager of the "three shifts and six rooms" found seven or eight craftsmen, and called more than 20 strong men to assign tasks on both sides of the arch bridge. After a while, some people brought hoes to dig, others cut some bamboos and redwoods, and some people were responsible for transporting them, and the carpenters began to cut the fir and bamboo......

Song Ting walked over and asked the workshop manager what he was going to do, and the workshop manager told him to build two observation decks here.

Until the afternoon, the "observation deck" was finally built, the two "observation decks" are about seven feet high, about seven feet wide, respectively located at the water's edge on both sides of the river, a total of more than 600 bamboos, more than 100 fir trees and other materials are paved, from a distance it looks like two big stages in the shape of "mouth", and many wooden stairs are built on the shore to facilitate going up and down.

Song Ting didn't understand the meaning of building this "viewing platform", if he just blindly curryed favor with Shangguan and worked hard for the people and money, it was really unnecessary.

Looking at the craftsmen to build the "viewing platform" of the last process - the canopy, which is arranged with bamboo pieces into the shape of a roof, each piece of bamboo is next to each other, can ensure that there will be no dripping rainwater, a few stewards in the workshop are still not at ease, and let the craftsmen lay oil paper, so, completely play a waterproof role, everything is done, it is considered to be completed.

From a distance, the "observation deck" looks a bit like a sheltered pavilion from the rain, but it stands taller.

Song Ting supervised the work for a day, and he also felt tired, and after watching the "observation deck", he was ready to pat his ass and leave, and go home to accompany his wife.

At this time, I suddenly saw two painting boats coming to the north of the arch bridge of the small Qinhuai River, and the painting boats could actually come on the small Qinhuai River, which is a rare landscape...... These two boats succeeded in attracting his footsteps.

The painting boat sailed to the willow branch, and the willow note brushed by, and when the painting boat sailed to the Hongqiao, it stopped, it turned out that the Hongqiao Cave was too narrow, and could not swim over......

On the bow of the two painting boats, there are more than a dozen girls dressed in red and green, looking dressed, obviously from a brothel in the Qinglou, and the warblers and swallows are chirping, which seems to be very lively.

"Where did all these ships come from?" Song Ting asked the workshop manager beside him.

The steward looked at it from afar for a while, and smiled: "Those from Yangzhou are all Qinglou girls, tsk, tsk...... This year's one seems to be even more beautiful than last year's......"

Song Ting was not very interested in the Qinglou girl, chuckled, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly heard a voice calling him in the distance: "Song Gongzi!" Song Gongzi! ”

He turned around and walked closer, looked over, and he didn't know the girl who called him, but the beautiful woman standing next to her was not Bai Qiuyan from Yunxiang Courtyard.
