The inner courtyard hall of the governor's yamen is naturally very large, with more than 300 square meters, but there are three tables of banquets in the shape of pinzigs here, and the rest of the place is empty, and there are several actors standing in the empty place singing opera.

At this time, dozens of officials or gentry in official uniforms or gentry dressed in silk and satin were pushing glasses and changing glasses, watching plays or drinking.

And the leader of an official is wearing a vermilion official uniform, the patch on the chest is embroidered with a peacock pattern on behalf of the three ranks, he is about fifty years old, his face is thin, a solemn and majestic face, this person is Wu Yadong, the governor of Zhejiang.

At this moment, he was talking and laughing softly with several officials around him, he is fifty this year, he is still in the "prime of life" in the officialdom, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty at the age of sixty, he can still work for at least ten years, but whether he can work in the position of governor for so long depends on his skills and communication.

At this time, an official stood up and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the birthday of the Governor, and it is also a good word for the Governor, let us toast the Governor together, what do you think?" ”

"Good!" Everyone raised their glasses one after another and said in unison: "I wish Lord Wu a blessing like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan!" ”

"Hehehehe, good! This glass of wine is dry! Wu Yadong raised his wine glass and drank it all, and a stream of heat poured from his throat into his stomach, which was very refreshing.

Wu Yadong put down the wine glass and pressed his hand down, everyone around knew that the governor had something to say, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, Wu Yadong smiled: "Everyone, the old man is thanks to the emperor's wrong love, and he was able to take charge of a province in Zhejiang. ”

"Where, where, the governor is polite!" When everyone heard Wu Yadong praise like this, they hurriedly said humbly.

"Today, the old man is not a tribute to prepare a little thin wine, you must have fun, in addition, the old man also invited two Qin Huai famous concubines, I will meet you later, you might as well guess who these two famous concubines are now, hahaha"

"I didn't expect the governor to have this Yaxing, this is a real celebrity and a gentleman!"

When everyone heard this, they were slightly taken aback, and then they were all a little excited, for women, especially beautiful women, the preference is a man's natural surname, and it is inevitable throughout the ages.

At this time, a housekeeper walked in quickly, came to Wu Yadong's side, handed him a gift slip, and whispered a few words in his ear.

I saw Wu Yadong stunned, and said with some surprise: "Hey, why is he here." ”

Xi Lianglin, the Zhejiang envoy who was sitting next to Wu Yadong, poked his head over and asked, "Lord Wu, who is here?" ”

Wu Yadong smiled bitterly: "I am a Shandong general, I came to Hangzhou today, and I learned that the old man is celebrating his birthday today, so he also came to congratulate him, and the old man is hesitating where to arrange him?" ”

"Oh! I see. Xi Lianglin said with some disdain: "Why should adults be embarrassed, just a general, just arrange it in the garden, is it difficult to let it be at the same table as me?" ”

"Oh no!" Wu Yadong shook his head, "Although this person is a general, he is a general of Dingyuan appointed by the emperor, and arranging a third-grade military general to sit in the courtyard with those fifth- and sixth-grade officials will make people gossip." ”

Xi Lianglin smiled after hearing this: "Okay, my lord is kind-hearted, and it doesn't hurt to invite him to sit in the hall." ”

Wu Yadong nodded and said a few words to the housekeeper beside him, and the housekeeper immediately withdrew after receiving the order.

After a while, a master of ceremonies at the door of the hall sang at the door: "Qingzhou is the commander, and the general of Dingyuan, Pang Gang, came with his wife to congratulate the adults on his birthday!" And presented a congratulatory gift of 100 taels of gold, 10 pairs of pearls, and 10 catties of Korean ginseng! ”

As the voice of the master of ceremonies sounded at the door, Pang Gang, who was wearing a vermilion official uniform, walked over with Li Xuezhu, who was dressed as a little woman in an emerald green dress, followed by dozens of dignified personal soldiers.

Whether it was the officials and gentry in the park or the high-ranking officials in the hall, they all moved their eyes to Pang Gang, only to see Pang Gang strolling into the hall and standing still.

Wu Yadong only stood up at this time, with a kind smile on his face, looked at Pang Gang and said: "This must be General Pang, he is really young and promising, the general came all the way, but it was hard?" ”

Seeing Governor Wu stand up, Xi Lianglin and the others stood up to greet each other.

Pang Gang saw the official with a peacock costume embroidered on his chest who was the first to stand up in the central government, and knew that this must be today's protagonist Wu Yadong, the governor of Zhejiang, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Today is the birthday of Lord Wu, since Pang Gang has come to Hangzhou, how can he not come to congratulate?" At the same time as Pang Gang spoke, Li Xuezhu, who was walking half a step behind him, also followed Pang Gang and said a thousand blessings to Governor Wu.

After Pang Gang finished speaking, he saw that there were still two empty seats next to Governor Wu, so he walked over and sat down, and Li Xuezhu also sat down next to Pang Gang when he saw this.

After Pang Gang sat down, he saw that the officials around him did not sit down, but looked at him fixedly, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Hey, what's wrong with all these people? Why is it connected to look like someone else owes money and doesn't pay it back? Pang Gang, who was very puzzled in his heart, looked around with some doubts, and saw that the people led by Wu Yadong had a trace of anger on their faces.

Suddenly, someone in the hall snorted angrily. He said loudly: "General Pang, you are a military general. How can you be so rude to the governor? ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be a young man in a Confucian shirt, only to see him take a step forward and angrily point at Pang Gang and scold.

Pang, who was a little tired after walking for a long time, just sat down when he saw a young man rushing over and angrily scolding him, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Who are you, how dare you be so rude to this official?" ”

I saw that the young man snorted and sneered: "It's just a move in Hangzhou, and I ask you, why don't you kneel and salute when you see the governor?" ”

"Damn, why is this set again!"

As soon as Pang Gang heard the anger, he didn't fight anywhere, and slammed the table next to him, causing the tea cup dishes on it to make a noise, and he shouted: "Bastard, what kind of thing are you, just a move, and when you see the official, you don't kneel, and you dare to shout at the official, do you really think that the official can't govern you?" Besides, the governor is of course a member of the second grade, but this official is also the official of the third grade of the imperial court, according to the legal system of our dynasty, the official of the third grade does not need to kneel when he sees the second grade, just bow, you don't know this thing, do you learn the words of your saint have learned the dog's belly? ”

There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone looked at the young Sanpin Ginseng General with their mouths wide open, and they reprimanded the man sharply. They magistrates don't know that for this matter, the lord in front of him dares to go to the emperor of the Jinluan Palace to fight a lawsuit.

Seeing that this new military general was so arrogant, the officials present were angry, but they couldn't refute his words, after all, officialdom has rules of officialdom, and if Pang Gang bites to death and takes the law of Daming to say things, they really have no way to refute it.

At this time, Wu Yadong, who was the master, had to speak, only to see him smile and say: "Okay, okay, the yamen is heavy, so noisy, what kind of system!" As a lifter, you should know how to be polite and polite, why are you so reckless, and you don't want to make amends to adults quickly. ”

Wu Yadong's move also gave the young man a step down, but the lifter said proudly: "Yan Zheng, as a lifter, how could he kneel down to this vulgar martial artist and insult the reputation of a scholar." ”

"Good" The civil officials around him secretly applauded in their hearts when they heard the impassioned words of this scholar, Pang Gang's actions just now were indeed very uncomfortable for the civil officials who were used to being high, although their city government would not show it like Yan Zheng, but it didn't mean that they would mind a stunned young man coming out to teach them a lesson about this martial artist.

It was Yan Zheng who had just rushed back to Hangzhou who had just jumped out and scolded Pang Gang, and now it was Governor Wu's birthday, he followed his old man to the hall to accompany the last seat, originally according to his status and status, it was already very good to mix a seat in the hall with his grandfather's light energy, where is he to speak. But as soon as he heard Pang Gang's name, new hatred and old hatred surged into his heart for a while, and he immediately exploded.

"Oh, so you're that Yan Zheng." Who knew that Pang Gang laughed after listening to Wu Yadong's words, he turned his head to Li Xuezhu who was sitting next to him and smiled: "Do you remember what Cheng Kai said about the incident that happened in Wei Mansion?" ”

Li Xuezhu also covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, her big eyes turned around Yan Zheng's face a few times, and she nodded with a smile.

"The concubine remembers that he is the scholar who proposed to Sister Wei, but was so scared that he peed his pants!"

Li Xuezhu's crisp words echoed in the hall, the voice was so crisp and pleasant, but the effect was like a bomb, everyone in the hall was thundered, and for a while everyone's eyes were on the "bold" young man who was still standing in the hall, their faces contained shock, doubt and disdain.

The young man in front of him was so frightened that he was incontinent? Many people didn't believe this fact, and more people thought that the delicate general's wife was lying, and everyone whispered for a while
