Ma Zhanguo was so angry that he locked the handle of the knife, and he couldn't wait to cut off Fu Ke's dog head with a knife, he had served as a county lieutenant for many years, and he had seen a lot of chickens and dog thieves, but he had never seen someone as arrogant as Fu Ke. If it is normal, if the thirty kills are played, Fu Ke will be honest and dare not be arrogant.

Unexpectedly, to everyone's stunned, Xia Xiang's face relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Ding Zhutou, remove the shackles for Fu Ke." ”

"County, county?" Ding Ke thought he had heard it wrong, and stood stunned on the spot, "Fu Ke is going to commit a crime." ”

"Don't get rid of the shackles yet!" Xia Xiang's face sank, revealing impatience, "What's the matter, you can't listen to the official's orders?" ”

"Don't dare, subordinates don't dare." Ding Ke didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took off the shackles of Fu Ke. Although he didn't dare, he was still a little puzzled, and secretly exchanged glances with Ma Zhanguo.

Ma Zhanguo remained silent, made a mistake in his steps, and stood at the head of Fu Ke to prevent Fu Ke from making any changes. Seeing this, Ding Ke also took a step forward, stood at the head of Fu Ke, and attacked Ma Zhanguo back and forth.

Xia Xiang noticed the tacit understanding between the two, nodded slightly, high art, courage and carefulness are a necessary quality for catching fast. This move alone can conclude that Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke can be of great use.

"Xia County is really a handsome, and those who know the times are handsome." Fu Ke happily stretched his wrist a few times, glanced back, sat down on Ma Zhanguo's seat, and said with a big grin, "I came to Zhending from Shile, and I didn't even drink a sip of tea, don't Zhending people know how to be hospitable?" ”

"Tea." Xia Xiang responded to his requests and ordered to go down, "Good tea." ”

Wang Xianke and Wang Sun glanced at each other, they were both stupid, why did Fu Ke become a guest of Xia County in a blink of an eye? If it goes on like this, not to mention that Fu Ke can be put in prison, maybe Fu Ke can swagger out of the Zhending County Office, and as soon as they leave the county office, they will be killed by Fu Kedang Street......

Dong Duan couldn't believe his eyes, why did Xia Xianzun treat the vicious Fu Ke so politely? Could it be that the dignified county is also afraid of a scoundrel?

Even Xu Heguang couldn't understand what Xia Xianzun's intentions were, he seemed to want to blackmail Dong Duan before, but now he was so good at dealing with the department, he couldn't help but be confused, what did Xia Xianzun want?

Xia Xiang ignored the puzzled gazes of everyone, sat down on the top of Fu Ke, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea gently: "Fu Ke, what is the difference between tasting Zhending water and Shile water?" ”

Fu Ke picked up the teacup and drank it all, where would he taste the difference between water and water, he wiped his mouth and said: "It's all the same water, what difference can it be?" Xia Xianzun, I'm a big boss and I don't understand this. Now that the tea has been drunk, and the words have been asked, is it time for me to go back to the city? There are still a lot of things waiting for me to go back, and I can't delay. ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Xia Xiang gently put down the teacup and glanced up at Fu Ke, "Zhending and Shile are adjacent to each other, and they are both plains, so they are one side of water and soil, whether it is Zhending's river water or Shile's well water, there is no difference." The official is strange, since the water of the river in Zhending is not better than the water in Shile, why did Dong Xian and Ma Xiaosan and his wife have to run fifty or sixty miles overnight, and they have to come to the Hutuo River in Zhending to commit suicide? Fu Ke, you are well-informed, according to your opinion, are Dong Xian and Ma Xiaosan and his wife crazy? ”

Fu Ke reached out and picked up the teacup and put it back again, although he covered it up skillfully, Xia Xiang still noticed a trace of panic that quickly flashed in his eyes. The action of picking up the teacup and putting it down was just to cover up his panic.

"Back to the county, I don't know Dong Xian and I well, and I don't know Ma Xiaosan and his wife, I don't know if they have a madness." Fu Ke picked up the teacup again and shouted at Jiang Xiaoqi, the servant, "Please have another cup of Dutou, I'm dying of thirst." ”

After another sip of tea, Fu Ke rubbed his hands, diverted the topic and said, "Xia Xianzun, when will you let me go back to the city?" ”

"When the time comes." Xia Xiang smiled slightly, and no longer asked about Dong Xian's case, just after he was together, a servant came in to report.

"Xia Xianzun, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan ask to meet."

The official respectfully handed over two copies of the prayer sticker.

Xia Xiang took the post, stunned, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan are the two most famous wealthy businessmen in Zhending, Xu Wangshan in the east of the city, the mountains and mountains are connected with gold, which means that Xu Wangshan is as rich as a mountain. Ma Qingyuan in the south of the city, a horse in Pingchuan, is said that Ma Qingyuan's family has a thousand tilts of good land. The two are different from ordinary merchants, they are not only giant merchants, but also heirlooms of poetry and books, although they are not high-ranking families like the four major families, they are also considered families in the Zhending area. In addition, there are people in the family who are officials in the court, who have both power and wealth, which can be described as rich and glorious, and the scenery is incomparable.

Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan came to visit him when he first arrived, which can be regarded as giving enough face, and with the status of the two, he should take the initiative to visit. It has always been true that if you want to govern a county well, you must first make friends with local squires, families and famous people.

After all, the county has just arrived, and I don't know the depths, and the local squires, families and famous people have been operating in the local area for many years, and they are deeply rooted, and there are people who are sophisticated, so there are many places to rely on for the county.

Xu Heguang was also stunned, Hao Haiji, the previous magistrate of the county, arrived in office for more than a month, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan didn't say that they came to the door to ask to meet, even Hao Haiji handed over the stickers several times, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan were gone. It wasn't until half a year after Hao Haiji took office that Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan invited Hao Haiji to meet at the Linzhong Teahouse.

met in the teahouse instead of in the mansion, it can be seen that Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan do not recognize Hao Haiji. After that, during Hao Haiji's three-year tenure, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan have always maintained a close relationship with Hao Haiji, although Xu Ma and Ma undertook the grain planting and granary business in Zhending County, and were responsible for the specific implementation of the promotion of the new law, but in addition, they did not help Hao Haiji in other things, nor did it be a bad thing, but they were also safe.

Xia Xiang has only been here for a day, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan visited at the same time, and solemnly handed over the poster, how could the two value Xia Xiang so much? The shock in Xu Heguang's heart was incomparable, could it be that Xia Xiang really had some mysterious origin? No, Xia Xiang offended the three princes, everyone knows it, looking at Great Xia, who else will be more powerful than the three princes? Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan are not fools, they dare to approach Xia Xiang at the risk of offending the third prince, and the two must have something to rely on and have ideas.

Xu Heguang couldn't understand, Xia Xiang was also confused, but he was a guest at the door, so he hurriedly ordered: "Xu Xiancheng, you go to meet Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan for this official." Ma County Lieutenant took Dong Duan, Wang Xianke, and Wang Sun back to the inn. Ding arrested the head and escorted Fu Ke back to his cell. ”

"Yes." The three of them took orders in turn.

Fu Ke quit: "Xia Xianzun, didn't you say that you would let me go back to the city, why do you want to go back again?" No, I'm going home. ”

Xia Xiang smiled coldly: "Put on the flail, lock up!" ”

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Ding Ke put the shackles back on Fu Ke's head, pulled hard, and dragged Fu Ke away. Fu Ke was angry, jumped to his feet and said: "Xia Xianzun, you go back on your word, and your words are not counted......"

Xia Xiang smiled and didn't say anything, so he ignored Fu Ke, and he didn't personally promise Fu Ke to let him go back, Fu Ke was too self-righteous.

Xia Xiang came to the outside of the second hall, and just after going down a few steps, he saw Xu Heguang leading the two of them in from a distance. One person was born tall and tall, about forty years old, more than a head taller than Xu Heguang, wearing a purple shirt, holding a folding fan, wearing a square scarf, wearing small leather boots, wide and fat, walking fast like the wind.

The other was born thin, also about forty years old, wearing a floral shirt, playing with a ruyi in his hand, wearing a Haoran scarf, not tall or short, slightly dark skin, thin face, mustache, eyes deep-set, swaying from side to side when walking, as if standing unsteadily.

Xia Xiang walked a few steps closely, and when he came to the door of the house, he smiled: "Xu Yuanwai and Ma Yuanwai came here, and they have not been greeted from afar, which is rude, rude, rude." ”

Xu Heguang's eyes jumped, Xia Xiang descended to greet him, and treated the two of them with courtesy, obviously wanting to leave a good impression on the two, but for some reason, a trace of panic suddenly flashed in his heart, as if the situation under control suddenly became uncontrollable.

Slightly stunned, Xu Heguang noticed Xia Xiang's slightly dissatisfied eyes, and knew that Xia Xianzun was blaming him for not being introduced, so he hurriedly returned to his senses and said: "Xia Xianzun, this is Xu Wangshan Xu Yuanwai, this is Ma Qingyuan Ma Yuanwai." Xu Yuanwai, Ma Yuanwai, this is Zhending's new magistrate Xia County. ”

Xu Wangshan crossed his hand and saluted: "Xu Wangshan has seen Xia Xianzun." ”

Ma Qingyuan didn't see the courtesy, and when Xu Wangshan finished the salute, he handed over the Ruyi in his hand to Xu Wangshan's hand, and only after freeing his hands did he cross his hand to salute: "Ma Qingyuan has seen Xia Xianzun." ”

Xia Xiang returned the salute and smiled: "The official should have gone to visit the two of them, how dare you bother the two of you to come to the door in person?" ”

Xu Wangshan snorted, his eyes glanced at Xu Heguang intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingyuan and I heard that Xia Xianzun has arrived, where can we still hold it, so we hurriedly put down the things in our hands and hurried over to visit Xia Xianzun, I want to see with my own eyes whether Xia Xianzun, who is making a big fuss in the capital, has three heads and six arms, haha, I am really curious." Another point, the two of us heard that Xia Xianzun is a tea lover, so they hurriedly came to the door to ask for good tea to taste, I wonder if Xia Xianzun will dislike the two of us abruptly? ”

"Brother Wangshan, why do you talk to the county lord like this? Rude, so rude. Ma Qingyuan took over the conversation, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled humbly without looking too enthusiastic, and he was just right, "It should be said that the two of us brought tea, please appreciate it in Xia County, haha." ”

While speaking, Ma Qingyuan flipped his wrist and had an extra bag of tea leaves in his hand, the tea leaves were wrapped in white paper, with three layers inside and three layers outside, which was obviously very precious, and there was only a small package.

"Where there is good tea, there is good water." Xia Xiang stretched out his hand and nodded slightly at Xu Heguang, "There is Lao Xu County ready water." ”

Xu Heguang knew that Xia Xiang was deliberately supporting him, so he had to smile: "It's okay right away." ”

Xia Xiang led Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan to the study, there was no one else in the study, Xu Wangshan smiled when he saw this, clapped his palms and said: "Xia Xianzun doesn't have a serving Yahuan by his side, why don't you even have a subordinate to take advantage of?" If you don't dislike it, I'll ask the government to send a few people over for Xia County's envoy to call. ”

"I can't help it, this official is used to being quiet, thank you Xu Yuanwai for your kindness." Xia Xiang waved his hand and refused, and smiled, "The main thing is that it is useless, and it is also the first time you and I have met, how can I accept such a big gift from you?" When you get familiar with it later, it's not too late to collect it. ”

When listening to Xia Xiang's previous words, Xu Wangshan frowned, and when Xia Xiang's words changed, his brows relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Xia County is respectful, and it's not too late to send it when it's ripe." ”

Ma Qingyuan also laughed: "Xia County Venerable people, Brother Wangshan and I came to visit this time, which is the right time." ”

"Brother Qingyuan, I said that Xia Xianzun can do something to post a black list in the Gongyuan, and he must be very human. I said I'm coming to visit, do you want to wait and see, wait and see? A character like Xia Xianzun, how many years does it take to produce one, if you don't make friends quickly, you have to wait for others to take the lead? Xu Wangshan opened the folding fan in his hand, fanned it a few times, closed the fan and said, "Zhending County has not had such a young and promising county for more than ten years. ”

"Where, where, Xu Yuanwai has won the prize." Xia Xiang smiled modestly, his gaze slanted, and fell on Ma Qingyuan's body, "Why is the good tea outside the horse hidden again, why don't you quickly take it out and let the official taste one or two?" ”

Ma Qingyuan was secretly looking at Xia Xiang, not to mention that Xia Xiang's youth surprised him, but only to say that Xia Xiang's extraordinary bearing and calm style made him doubt his previous judgment, Xia Xiang was really born in an ordinary family, not a child of a family? Why does his every move, speech and demeanor have the demeanor of a wealthy family?

Maybe it's because Xia County's family education inheritance is very good, although he is a commoner, his parents are scholars. There is poetry and books in the belly, and the most important thing is that the fragrance of books can go far.

Ma Qingyuan took out the tightly wrapped tea leaves from his sleeve, and after carefully opening the six layers of paper, he revealed a tea ball the size of a copper coin. Although the tea group is not big, it is very exquisite, the color is snow-white, and there is a pattern of the dragon and phoenix on the surface, which is dark and interlaced, illustrated and illustrated, and exquisite.

Xia Xiang was shocked after just one glance, and exclaimed: "Dragon Tuan wins the snow!" ”

"Exactly." Ma Qingyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, his eyebrows flew, "Three years ago, I accidentally got a cake of tea in the capital, and I have always cherished it and never shown it to others. Today, it is rare for Xia County to take office, and if he is happy for a while, he should be a treasure. ”

"Oh, Brother Qingyuan, you are really favoritism. I've mentioned dozens of times that I want to taste your dragon group Shengxue, but you are so stingy that you push three or four times, but you just refuse. As soon as Xia Xianzun came, you took it out, it was annoying, it was too annoying. Xu Wangshan stretched out his big hand to catch Longtuan Shengxue, but was dodged by Ma Qingyuan, and Ma Qingyuan was busy hiding Longtuan Shengxue behind him.

Xia Xiang knew in his heart that the two of them sang and harmonized, clearly saying to him, acting in a good show, he couldn't see through it, and said with a smile: "Such a generous gift, this official is ashamed, frightened, frightened." ”

"Xia Xianzun said this, just to see the outside." Ma Qingyuan winked at Xu Wangshan, and signaled Xu Wangshan to accept it when he saw it, don't act too much, Xia Xianzun is a smart person, "No matter how good Longtuan Shengxue is, it's just a cake of tea, no matter how good the tea is, you have to drink it with your confidant to get its taste." ”

"I don't know if Xia County Zun knows the origin of Longtuan Shengxue?" Xu Wangshan intended to take a test on Xia Xiang to see if Xia Xiang knew the value of such a precious tea.

"I've heard a little." Xia Xiang smiled slightly, took Longtuan Shengxue in his hand, and checked it a few times, "Longtuan Shengxue is made of silver silk water buds, and silver silk water buds are also called silver silk ice buds. Tea leaves are divided into three grades: purple buds, medium buds, and small buds. Purple buds, that is, tea leaves are purple, and when making good tea, purple buds are generally discarded. The middle bud, that is, a leaf and a bud, there are poems to praise and say, a shot has been laughed into a leaf, and all the grass is ashamed to not dare to flower. The small buds are freshly grown tea buds, shaped like a bird's tongue and like an eagle's claw. The finest of the small buds is called water buds or ice buds. ”

Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan glanced at each other, and both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes. It's not that Xia Xiang's understanding of the tea ceremony was unexpected by the two of them, but that Xia Xiang was so familiar with the production of Longtuan Shengxue made the two even more suspicious of Xia Xiang's origin. Dragon Tuan Shengxue is a royal tea, and non-princes and grandchildren cannot see it, even if it is a member of the third grade or above, there may not be one or two Dragon Tuan Shengxue.

"Pick the ripe buds from the small teeth and then remove them, only take a wisp of the tea heart, and soak it in the clear spring with a precious vessel, which is bright and clean, like a silver thread. Take it to make tea, if there is a small dragon winding on it, so the name dragon group wins the snow. Xia Xiang secretly screamed a fluke, Longtuan Shengxue he only heard its name and did not see its shape, let alone tasted it once, on the way to Zhending, and Lian Ruohan all the way in the same car, but also heard Lian Ruohan talk about the origin of Longtuan Shengxue, so he knew so much about Longtuan Shengxue. I don't want it to come in handy now, I really want to learn and sell it now, and continued, "The wonder of tea, the best of the best, the snow is extremely good, the cost of each catty is 40,000, the cost is amazing, and it is exclusively for the emperor to enjoy." ”

Xia Xiang understood that Ma Qingyuan took the dragon group Shengxue as a gift, first, to show grandeur and show respect for him, and second, to let him know that Ma Qingyuan had someone in the court, otherwise the dragon group Shengxue for the emperor to enjoy, I am afraid that the six books of the dynasty will not be blessed, but there is a cake outside a member of Zhending, and the reason is meaningful.
