An Qian slowly walked out of her small courtyard, as if she was about to go out.

The little girl slowly locked the courtyard door, but she stopped on the ground, just looking at the end of the street. Gradually, the look of anticipation in his eyes dimmed, and there was even more confusion in his heart, as if he was a little worried and apprehensive.

A few days have passed since the young master and the second tiger set off. Today is the last day, and at dusk, the wedding will take place as scheduled. However, until this time, the young master and the second tiger have not returned.

But what obstacles did you encounter on the Fucheng side? But the plan didn't work out?

The little girl thought about it a thousand times, although she had a lot of blind trust in the young master who was drunk and alive in her heart, but her heart gradually became a little up and down.

The little girl didn't know that even if this matter was successful, Xie Xiuqi would probably not dare to see her sister again. I thought that I would wait for the good news first, and then let the young master personally hand over the note and good news to the young lady, and he also raised his eyebrows in front of the young lady.

Yesterday, seeing that it was the penultimate day and the young master had not yet returned, after thinking about it and hesitating in every way, An Qian was also convinced that his young master would not disappoint, and brought the note to the young lady.

In Lu Fuzhong, she met her sister again, and she was even more sarcastic to herself, if it was in the past, An Qian must have been angry in her heart, but this time she didn't care, but she was secretly ruthless in her heart - wait, the young master is coming back! The young master will never let us down!

Having said that, my heart is apprehensive.

In the past few days, Lu Yunpeng seems to have been sent by Lu Zihe, and he has come to Xie Xiuqi several times, and after asking where Xie Xiuqi has gone again and again, An Qi, who has been remembered Xie Xiuqi's advice, has prevaricated - but each time it also reminds the little girl of the young master's words again and again: After all, there is no 100% possibility of success in everything, and this matter is very big, and there is no room for any difference. Thou shalt hide it from Uncle Lu and them for me, lest thou shalt become elbows and armpits.

The young master also said that there is no possibility of 100% success...... What if it's the one percent?

The little girl was full of worries, and finally went to the Lu Mansion.

Just thinking about it, I saw a carriage coming all the way, and there were a few words "Changzhi County Government" on it.

"It's the car of the county and the adults in the county...... It must be from the county government to go to my Lu Mansion to congratulate the ......"

An Qian muttered, thinking that time was getting more and more urgent, and there was less than an hour left, and the little girl's heart was even more worried.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Tang Xianzhi sat proudly on the carriage, full of spring breeze.

Today, he has been very happy, after taking a nap, he didn't even care about the concubine in the bed, but he rushed to the Lu Mansion in a hurry.

He couldn't help but be upset.

Since he was transferred to Changzhi, he Tang Xian has not slept well for a day.

As the chief official, he has to rely on his deputy for everything, and even many government decrees, if this deputy does not approve, he will not be able to leave the county government. In all the townships and towns in the county, most of them only know the county and don't know the county order - is this still the Taizun of a county?

Most of the officials of this dynasty are divided into three factions. From the local to the central.

The neutral faction is also forgotten, since the abolition of Emperor Er, the young lord has ascended the throne. The royal power seems to be worried that the imperial power is jealous of the abolition of the emperor, and it is also much more cautious, but the fingering of the government has suddenly decreased.

In this way, the imperial power is still young, and the emperor has only been in power for a few years, and the royal power has reined in the minions, and the government is under great authority. The dispute between the Confucian Party and the Science and Technology Party has intensified in recent years.

If it were just the difference in political views between the two, it would be fine, but as a hardcore of the Confucian Party, Lu Zi and these neutrals supported Keru side by side. Before leaving Beijing, our teacher taught us that we must practice Confucian governance in our respective jurisdictions, do a beautiful job, and stand up for the Confucian Party.

It's just that the lord of this county can't do it, so how can he open his eyes? Isn't the teacher so disappointed in himself? Although he is just a small jinshi with a low rank, but he has been cold for decades before he has been able to get his current official position, do he have to die in the position of the county commander?

However, Lu Zihe has been entrenched in Changzhi for several years, and the county is even more impermeable by him. I wanted to transfer it out, but I didn't want to declare it, but I repeatedly hit a wall in Fucheng. In this way, he was even more helpless to take Lu Zihe, and this county order was even more tasteless.

Lu Zihe, who was already helpless and sat still, but didn't want good news from the sky, was almost impeccable, but he gave birth to a very stupid son. The fire in the shipyard was about to be extinguished, and the Fang family was angry, wanting to not forgive, so they begged for shelter for themselves, and even provided the good news of a poisonous plan for both.

Although the Fang family's plans were very big, they even made themselves faintly disgusted. But the matter ...... It's not yourself who suffers, and you only need to jump out and shout a few times, and you can sit back and reap the benefits, why not?

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke up, Yan Fang's ghost-like person first noticed that the wind was not in the right direction, and secretly surrendered to himself, and sold Lu Zihe with a backhand plan according to his instructions.

Later, after taking advantage of this matter and making a strategic attack, Lu Zihe's prestige was really worse day by day, and in the county government, he finally lost his previous prestige and became low-key and silent.

And the monolithic Changzhi County official group finally took advantage of this incident to recognize who is the chief official of a county. In the past few months, some people have been courting themselves one after another. As a county order, I finally regained the feeling of being in power and commanding a county. Entrusted by the teacher, after a while, won't it be a matter of course?

Tang Xianmei thought diligently, looked out the window, and the Lu Mansion was already in sight.

Lu Fu was in red at this time. Several large red satins are hanging high on the lintel, and the red lanterns that have not been extinguished all night are swaying slightly in the afternoon breeze. The bright red color meant that it was extremely festive, but in the eyes of everyone, it brought a little irony and sigh.

The porter of the Lu Mansion shouted weakly, welcoming one after another guests who came early into the mansion, and the people who came and went hurriedly were busy in the mansion, but there was no joy in their expressions, but there was a bit of resentment and sorrow.

Several carriages printed with "Changzhi County Government" had slowly stopped in front of the Lu Mansion.

"The car of the county government...... It's the county that is here. ”

A passerby on the sidelines.

A man who looked like a famous old gentleman seemed to be helping his father to pass by here, and the young man muttered: "It's a pity...... After today, I will rule the treasure for a long time and look at the unparalleled in the north, but I will be the kind of goods of Fang Yuanbo...... Alas...... It's just that the county lord doesn't deal with Lord Lu, how can he ......?"

The old gentry, who was supported by the youth, knocked the young man on the head hard: "You idiot. Lord Lu is called a married girl today, but she is really forced. Tang Xianzheng is based on this to vigorously suppress the prestige of Lord Lu in the county, and Lord Lu is not as authoritarian as before after this incident. Tang Xian today, how could he not come to make matters worse and see the excitement? ”

"As for the Fang family, it was a blessing in disguise and chose a big bargain!"

The old gentry said indignantly.

With his words, passers-by also glanced at Lu Fu with great pity and sympathy, and gradually dispersed.

In the West Flower Hall of Lu Mansion, more than a dozen county officials who were good friends with Lu Zihe also had no intention of congratulating him, but their faces were gloomy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Tang County is respectful."

A subordinate came to the West Flower Hall and said softly.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other again for a while, but they got up and followed their subordinates to the gate of the mansion.

In front of the mansion, Lu Zihe was standing there with Lu Yunpeng, looking at Tang County's order who got down from the carriage, and said lightly: "The little girl's matter is still hard to move to the county, and Lu Zihe is ashamed." ”

"Haha......"

Tang County Lingzhi proudly walked in front of Lu Zihe in a few steps, but he waved his hand to stop the two people who were slightly saluting and several officials behind them: "Lord Lu, you and I are colleagues, and you are my right-hand man." Ling Yan was overjoyed, how could Tang Xian not come? ”

He said with a spring breeze on his face.

An official in the crowd was already indignant in a low voice: "Phew, the practice has been hard for Lord Lu for several months, but he only knows how to be powerful and give orders in the county office. If the decree is appropriate, it will be fine, but it is a great ambition and a talent - what kind of joke is it to advocate the rule of Confucianism in ancient times? Depreciating science, closing the country to rest, and ruling by inaction? Isn't that perverse? ”

But it was Zhang Zhen, the county lieutenant.

"If there is no foreign enemy, it will be enough, now the homeland has not been restored, Xiyi has risen again, and there are countless maritime powers, menacing. If there is no science and technology to rejuvenate the country, where will the empire have the technology to build a powerful fleet that will stabilize the Xiyi and take the sea as the frontier? Is it impossible to reject it by indoctrination? It's ridiculous! ”

"Lord Lu wiped his ass several times, but who knew that it attracted him even more jealousy, and he repaid virtue with resentment - now it's better, and he is embarrassed to say that Lord Lu is his right-hand man?"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhen's face was already full of anger, but he was pulled by a subordinate next to him and fell silent again.

Lu Zihe also looked at Tang Xian silently.

The Controversy of the Corruces...... What's in it for the country? His Royal Highness the Ancestral King's Keru is not to let you gradually form a party based on this and fight more frequently.

He sighed silently in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand for a moment.

"Your Excellency, please." He whispered.

Tang Xian became more and more proud: "Don't worry, don't worry." ”

"There are also a few colleagues who came with me and are getting out of the car."

He looked at the officials in the carriage behind him who were getting out of the carriage one after another, and smiled.

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned behind him.

"These wallgrass, despicable villains!"

"Shhh...... Is the Inspectorate also there? He actually relied on the county honor? ”

There were already a few inaudible voices of indignation in the crowd of officials, which were then muffled by a few cold snorts.

As far as everyone could see, several officials got down one after another in the carriage behind Tang He, and after saluting Lu Zihe one by one, they stood behind Tang Xian with an embarrassed smile.

Among them, the first is Yan Fang, the Changzhi Inspectorate.

The founding family of the empire, which has been inherited from generation to generation and is born with the seat of Yongfu, there are only dozens of kings, three dukes, nine marquis plus earls, and they are strictly honored for only three generations. Therefore, the upper echelons of King Yong's foreign mansion are naturally mostly led by the founding meritorious clans, but the supervision officials at the county level are mostly selected by the imperial examination. It's just that once they enter the monitoring system, they will no longer have anything to do with the government.

However, the county inspection offices are responsible for inspecting the gains and losses of county officials, and they are more independent of the government. Since the establishment of Yongfu, the chief officials of each county have not co-opted the inspection office, and there is little deterrence to subordinates, which is also a sign of who has the greatest voice in the county.

The Changzhi Inspectorate has been friends with Lu Zihe for a long time, but he didn't want to rely on the county at this moment.

Several officials in the crowd shook their heads and sighed, and a few even looked terrified.

Lu Zihe glanced at Yan Fang, who was smiling uncomfortably.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please."

He said lightly again.
