When Chen Kai stepped forward to salute, Zhu Xianling's obscure face softened a little, and said with a smile: "Kaizhi, why wasn't you here yesterday, only came after three invitations and five invitations." ”

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly saluted and said, "The student is ashamed. ”

Zhu County Ling didn't mind, just smiled and said: "You came just in time, the prefect has arrived, the county has gone to pay a visit yesterday, and today the prefect wants to meet the gentry of Jinling and Xuanwu counties, which can be regarded as a taste of the people's feelings, Kaizhi, no one in this county will take you, only take you." ”

Chen Kaizhi knew this.

The prefect of Jinling is the biggest parent official in Jinling, and now that he has arrived, he must have a meeting with some local people in Jinling, and this first side is very important, which is not only an opportunity for everyone to test the prefect's temperament, but also an opportunity for the prefect to find out.

To put it bluntly, it's a sorority.

The people brought by the counties are either important local gentry, or some official eunuchs, or some young heroes, and there will always be threes, threes, twos, twos.

Zhu Xianling only took himself there, which was obviously intended to leave a deep impression on the prefect.

Chen Kaizhi was pleasantly surprised: "Congratulations, my lord." ”

Zhu Xianling laughed and said, "Congratulations? Congratulations on what? ”

Chen Kaizhi: "Uh...... The student said casually. ”

Zhu Xianling looked at Chen Kai deeply, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

This sentence of congratulations can't be said clearly, the county magistrate only takes himself there, and in Jiangning, there are so many gentry, how can they not complain? But Zhu County's order is ignored, what does this mean?

Chen Kaizhi's prediction is that Zhu Xianling is very likely to rise one step higher, and this is his last days in Jiangning County. At this time, the magistrates often began to alienate themselves from the local gentry, not only to avoid suspicion, but also to show that they were fair and strict, and not to favor the local wealthy families, on the other hand, in the future, everyone would have nothing to do with each other, and there was really no need to look at the faces of the local gentry in everything.

I'm going to be promoted.

Zhu Xianling must have inside information, there must be someone above, but I don't know who this person above is sacred?

The things in this officialdom are not enough for him Chen Kaizhi to speculate, and he just smiled.

Zhu County ordered people to prepare a sedan chair and take Chen Kaizhi to the prefect's yamen, which has been empty for a long time, and now it is full of vitality, which can be described as a city.

Led into the yamen, Zhu Xian ordered the head, Chen Kaizhi followed, here, but met many acquaintances from various counties.

Many people are quite intimate with Chen Kaizhi, and Chen Kaizhi greeted each other, Chen Kaizhi became famous because of the plague, and won a lot of favor, of course, at this time, you must not be proud of your achievements, and you are busy with modest returns.

That Xuanwu Zheng County Order saw Chen Kaizhi, glanced at Chen Kai with a smile, and then said to Zhu County Order: "Brother Zhu only brought Kaizhi to see the mansion, is he really treating Kaizhi as a treasure?" ”

Zheng County's tone was sour, but he said: "This prefect, it is said that he managed Ma Zheng before, and what he didn't like the most was the literati, Kaizhi, didn't Brother Zhu tell you?" ”

This clearly has the intention of sowing discord, but Chen Kaizhi was not annoyed at all, but saluted him calmly: "The student just came to visit, and the government honored it whether he liked it or not, but he didn't value it." ”

Zheng Xianling smiled dumbly, and everyone entered the main hall while talking.

Chen Kaizhi looked up and saw that the person kneeling on the first place had his eyes a little straight.

This...... Is it the prefect?

But I saw that he was dressed in an old robe, and it was said that he was only forty years old, but his face was as tanned as carbon black, and he looked at it carefully, with a solemn expression, and his eyes were like electricity, and he did not smile.

The people who came to pay their respects were either rich or expensive, and the most inferior was also a silk dress, Chen Kaizhi was relatively simple, but he was also a Confucian shirt and scarf, which looked clean and decent.

On the contrary, it was this mansion honorable person, but he seemed out of place. It's like a group of nobles, mixed with a poor family, but this person who looks shabby and poor is the head of the house in this hall.

Everyone saluted.

This Fuzun barely squeezed out some smiles, and said with a strong local accent: "Oh, there is no need to be polite, this official is not polite, sit down." ”

So they all sat down.

Fuzun didn't greet everyone, and said very directly: "The surname of this house is Bao, and the single name is a tiger character, in the future, you can call Bao Fuzun, or call Bao Lord, this house is an informal person, and I am very happy to see you today." ”

Happy? Not happy at all, at least on his face, it looked like everyone owed him a sum of money.

But many of the people are old fritters, but they don't put their minds on their faces.

At this time, Zheng County Ling was busy saying: "Yes, yes, I have heard that Lord Bao has a clean breeze on his sleeves, he is a upright person, and the officials are very lucky, and it is even more fortunate that Jinling has learned that the adults govern Jinling, and thousands of soldiers and civilians are all rejoicing." According to the opinion of the lower officials, I am afraid that it will not be long before Jinling can be governed, and the whole world will celebrate, hurry, hurry! ”

So everyone nodded yes, and the atmosphere began to stir up.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sit down under Zhu County's order, thinking to himself: "This is really a pleasant day. ”

Governor Bao actually pulled down the dough and said, "But Xuanwu Zhu County Order? ”

"No, no, no, the official's surname is Zheng." Zheng County Ling was beaming and authentic.

Governor Bao sneered suddenly, and said: "This official has not yet arrived, and he has not yet begun to govern one side, how can this military and civilian people celebrate together?" ”

"Ah......" Zheng Xianling was speechless and couldn't answer.

Governor Bao immediately said sharply: "What this official hates the most is the vulgar atmosphere of officialdom, I don't know what to say, although this official is also from a Jinshi, but he hates this set the most, and if someone is like this, this government will not tolerate it." ”

Uh, the atmosphere...... All of a sudden, it was awe-inspiring.

Chen Kaizhi really saw that his eyes were straight, lying down, and he stretched out his hand to slap a smile?

Zheng Xianling suddenly looked like a mourner, and seemed to have a feeling of not being able to go out and not look at the yellow calendar.

Bao Zhifu squinted, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It was the first time to meet, and the official should not be so bad, but since the official is here, for either party, there are some words, or say that it is good to be in front first, the official has been here, and he has also inspected the place in micro-service, no wonder everyone says that Jiangnan is good, but in the eyes of this mansion, there is a flamboyant atmosphere up and down here, and the officials up and down are all lost, and the people are not yet educated, it seems to be a peaceful world, but in fact, it is hiding dirt and dirt, and it is unbearable!" ”

Everyone was suddenly stunned, it was really scary, the first time I saw it, it was a bloody scolding, and I almost said the sentence "Everyone here is garbage".
