When he came out of the main bookkeeper, Lotte had a hard time in his heart.

How can it be so easy to entertain the waiters, Lotte counted that he had only entered the county government for three months, and when he encountered officialdom, he immediately showed the lack of his officialdom.

The set of officialdom ushered in, Lotte is really not very familiar, and he is afraid of losing etiquette in front of Shangguan, so he found a book about etiquette in the county mansion and brought it with him, and desperately made up for it, so as not to have any foreign appearance in front of Shangguan.

Lotte has to be familiar with not only these ushering and sending etiquette, but also to make some other plans to deal with the officials who are inspecting the disaster in Caizhou, and even the pressure that Lotte has to face is not small compared to Chen Zhixian.

Caizhou to Pingyu is only more than 40 miles, take a sedan chair for half a day at most, there are post guards to report before noon on the third day of the fire, several big lords of Caizhou have already arrived ten miles outside the city, Chen Zhixian and other three lords with a group of officials in the yazhong, waiting in front of the city gate.

Chen Zhixian and Yan Zhushu were still wearing the official uniforms that had been burned, and they hadn't closed their eyes for two days, and the whole person looked much haggard.

Depending on the disaster area, the imperial court has its own pick-up, meeting, worship and other appropriate etiquette, do not talk about pomp and circumstance when pick-up, when meeting with a sad face to tell the disaster, when worshipping only eat ordinary simple food, and there is no female trick to accompany you.

After sending a group of Shangguan to the county mansion, the three county officials of Chen Zhixian County then devoted themselves to the activities of fighting disasters and helping the people, so as to leave an image of Shangguan as diligent in their official duties.

The rest of the entertainment will be taken over by Lotte. In order to ensure the safety of all the Shangguan masters, Chen Zhixian specially transferred some fast men from the county government to protect them in the county mansion.

After a few old men had lunch and a little rest, Lotte appeared in front of several Shangguan masters, and Shi Guoli said with a smile on his face: "A few old men, I have suffered a disaster and many people have been displaced, so this county mansion has also been arranged to live in many disaster victims, so that the old men live in a cramped place, which is really a loss of dignity for the old men!" ”

Previously, Lotte assigned the prefectural office to the victims, and sealed the door to the front house.

Seeing that Lotte looked young, an official with a thin face and a yellow beard smiled and said: "Don't you have old and strong officials, why do you call a half-old official to serve me?" ”

"The experienced officials in the yali have all gone to help the people, and the villain is still young, so he has to stay in the mansion and wait for the old men to send him!" Lotte hurriedly replied.

While speaking, Lotte paid attention to the appearance of this old man, and immediately felt a little familiar, and then remembered that Huang Da, the owner of Xinghualou, had a very similar face to this person, and thought that this person was Huang Bing, the brother of Huang Da, who held the position of general judge in Caizhou.

"At a young age, he has sharp teeth!" Liu Zhizhou, who is also the governor of Caizhou and the pacification envoy, smiled slightly: "And lead the way in front, and take this official to inspect the disaster!" ”

Checking the disaster situation is just a formality, and when you enter the public opinion, you can see half of the city turned into scorched earth, and if you don't lie on the case and write a disaster relief statement to the court earlier, in exchange for the court's will to exempt you from taxation, you check a fart! Lotte said in his heart.

Lotte didn't dare to disobey, and took all the lords of the city out of the county mansion.

"This Pingyu County official has also been here, although it is only a middle and upper county, but it is also rich and solid, I didn't expect a good city to be burned into this appearance, it can be seen that Chen Zhi County's ordinary awareness of prevention is low!" Out of the county mansion, looking at the scorched earth everywhere, Huang Tongju sighed.

The meaning of the words is so that even a fool can hear it.

"Huang Tong's judgment is biased!" Ye Zhizhou shook his head and said: "My Great Song Dynasty industry and commerce are prosperous, the people are rich, and there is no curfew, so fires occur from time to time, and today's officials ask about this matter every year!" ”

Listening to the words, judging from Ye Zhizhou's words, it is obvious that he does not have any intention of falling into the well for Chen Zhixian and others.

Taking a closer look at this Ye Zhizhou, I saw that this person was only over forty years old, his appearance was elegant, with the temperament of a scholar, as the saying goes, there is poetry and books in his belly, and he thinks that this is the temperament of reading and reading.

After a while, another accompanying official said with a bit of mockery: "Chen Zhixian has only been in office for half a year, and he has encountered such a catastrophe. ”

That's too vicious, Lotte thought. However, Chen Zhixian is not here, and he is a small boss, and he will not contradict those officials who are higher than his top boss for a sentence.

At the same time, Lotte is also observing the expressions of these state city lords, speculating on everyone's thoughts.

"You little servant, come here!" After the official finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Lotte and asked, "Did Chen Zhixian do anything improper and derelict in his duties in Pingyu?" ”

Immediately, everyone's eyes were on Lotte.

Is this the rhythm of digging into the corners of the wall with sand, Lotte said. With a smile on his face, he saluted the old man and said: "As far as the villain knows, Chen Futai went to the county to wash up the unjust case, reform the malpractice and make the new, especially in the recent imperial court decree to build the Futian Monastery and the Salesian Bureau, together with the monks are willing to support Chen Futai's help, Chen's father's achievements can be seen, the villain really doesn't know what Chen Futai has to do!" ”

"You cunning scumbag, I think you are a henchman cultivated by Chen Lingyuan, and it is in vain to ask you!" When the official saw Lotte's answer, his heart couldn't help but fire.

Since the big old man's blue eyes, how could anyone have insulted himself like this in Pingyu, and today he was scolded for no reason, Lotte was also angry, and said: "This lord, the villain has looked at the fire of this dynasty over the years, and he also walked in the water in the first year of my dynasty Ming Dao, and the words of the big man are not inappropriate!" ”

The palace ban is on fire, do you dare to say that it is unpopular with the people, does the heavens feel it? Although Lotte had a smile on his face, the look in his eyes was a little contemptuous.

As soon as the words fell, Lotte regretted it in his heart, and secretly blamed himself for being young and vigorous, and this backlash offended a Shangguan master.

Several officials also smiled lightly when they heard Lotte's words.

Lotte said that the fire in the first year of Mingdao was forbidden, referring to the fact that the palace had just repaired the Wende Hall during the Renzong period, and the fire broke out that night, and it spread all the way to the Chongde Palace, Changchun Palace, Zifu Palace, Huiqing Palace, Chonghui Palace, Tianhe Palace, Chengming Palace, and Yanqing Palace, and the palace was basically burned down.

Song Renzong and the Empress Dowager, who had already gone to bed at that time, ran to the imperial garden in a panic to avoid the fire. After the fire, the emperor had no place to go, so he had to move to Yanfu Palace.

"You little official has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and his mouth is not forgiving!" Ye Zhizhou scolded with a smile, and then nodded: "Although this little official's words are tricky, it is not without some truth, the palace was forbidden to catch fire during the Ming Dao period of this dynasty, and the eunuchs put the prison to control the fire, and it was later found out that it was caused by the fire of the tailor iron in the palace. The case and the criminal were sent to Kaifeng Mansion, but Cheng Lin, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture at the time, had a different opinion, thinking that the harem was densely populated, and the pots and pans and stoves in the imperial kitchen were close to the wooden buildings of the palace. ”

After a pause, Ye Zhizhou said again: "At that time, Jiang Tang, who was the superintendent of the imperial history, said to the emperor, the palace ban fire could not see the obvious reason, maybe it was the will of God, the servants in the palace were all weak, and it was inevitable that they would not be beaten into a move, if the king gave death again, it would be even more aggravated to heaven's punishment, and my Emperor Renzong finally dealt with this matter leniently, and no one was killed!" ”

Ye Zhizhou's words were tactful, and he also directly expressed his views on the Pingyu fire.

Listening to Ye Zhizhou's words, Lotte's heart pinched for Chen Zhixian can be regarded as letting go.

The official who was asked by Lotte immediately said: "How is Chen Lingyuan's performance in office, of course, it can't be based on the evaluation of a small official, I should ask the people of Pingyu!" ”

"This official also thinks that what Lord Wang said is extremely true!" That Huang Tong said.

Hearing this, Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and the rest of the accompanying officials were silent.

Obeying the meaning in the voice, these two officials are clearly going to rectify Chen Zhixian, Lotte couldn't help but squint his eyes. Then I remembered the list handed to me by Chen Zhixian, there was only one old man surnamed Wang on the list, who served as Hucao in Caizhou Mansion to join the army, and I thought it was this person.

Lotte led the way in front, and after less than a mile, he came to a courtyard. This courtyard is a school in the county, which was temporarily requisitioned by the county government to resettle the victims.

Seeing that an official was coming, the victims who were placed in the courtyard were also willing to come out to see the excitement.

Before Lotte and others entered the door, there was a lawsuit Buddha call, Lotte and others raised their eyes, only to see a team of monks in robes also walking towards the courtyard where the victims were housed, each with a solemn face.

The king joined the army and said, "At this time, if you don't give relief to the victims, what are you doing to attract these monks?" ”

When the group of monks got closer, Lotte took the initiative to come forward and salute: "I've seen the abbot Wuhe!" ”

The leader of this group of monks is the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple.

"It turned out to be Le Tanyue!" Seeing Lotte, Nago and the abbot sent the first way. The abbot of Wuhe was originally an outsider, and when he saw the lord from the state city, he didn't need to come forward to salute.

"Why is the Master here?" Lotte was busy.

"The poor monk heard that there was a fire in the county, and today he specially led the monks of this temple to send some rice and grain, and for the donors who died in the fire!" Speaking of this, the abbot of Wu and his monks chanted the Dharma in unison.

"There's Master Lao!" Lotte hurriedly replied.

"Dare to ask where Chen's father is now?" Satoru and the abbot asked again.

"What is the matter with the master looking for the county honor?" Lotte asked, and said, "The eldest master is now giving relief to the victims, and I don't have time to meet the master!" ”

Wuhe Abbot nodded and said: "If Chen's father's business is busy, the poor monk will not be in a hurry to ask for a meeting, and ask Le Tanyue to tell Chen's father, according to Chen's father's arrangement, the temple has already cleaned up the houses of Futian Courtyard and the Salesian Bureau, and can welcome orphans, widows and children to move in at any time; I also found a good field to make a leaky garden to bury the corpses of the wilderness! ”

"The master is compassionate, and Le admires him so much, he thanked the master on behalf of Pingyu Xiangzi!" As he spoke, Lotte slammed to the ground.

Reciting the Buddha's name, the abbot was busy helping Lotte and said, "Monks should have compassion, why do you need to be like this!" ”

The imperial court has been conveying the decree of the Futian Yuan and the Salesian Bureau for a long time, but the local government has been delayed for a long time due to financial resources, and Pingyu can take the lead in completing it, which is a major political achievement of the county chief, and it is expected to be promoted in the future.

"In this way, it seems that Pingyu's purchase of Futian Yuan and the Salesian Bureau are all the credit of the Buddhist family, what does it have to do with Chen Lingyuan, the county governor of Pingyu?" Wang Hu Cao joined the army and pursed his lips, and then said: "Today, I saw that Chen Zhixian was wearing an official robe and ruined his dress, but he was just selling his name in front of the two masters!" ”

Just as the voice of Wang Hu Cao joining the army fell, one of the refugees on the lookers shouted: "Who gave birth to a son who doesn't have long eyes, and here he is full of feces and slanders my parents!" ”

This shouting and scolding was like thunder on the ground, and several old men from Caizhou were stunned.
