Xuanyuan Shengcai and several of Chu Huan's subordinates had already changed color at this time, but Chu Huan was still calm and calm, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if anyone else has urgent matters, don't delay your own affairs because of this governor." ”

An official came up next to him and said: "Lord Chu, the Yamen of the Criminal Department will also execute a batch of felons in the past two days, so there are many official affairs, and the officials of the Criminal Department have to work day and night to run errands, Shuoquan City is the capital city, so the public security here must be ensured with all their might, and the lower official will lead the officials of the Criminal Department to return to the Yamen on errands, and I hope that the adults will not be surprised." ”

"No blame, no blame." Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's already dark, you can still run errands overnight, you are really a model official, not only will the governor not blame, but he will also be rewarded when he goes back, and Lord Ai is busy." ”

Just now Dong Shizhen introduced it, Chu Huan recognized the official in front of him, who was Ai Zong, the head of the Criminal Department.

Ai Zong arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Everyone from the Criminal Department will go with me." Without saying a word, he turned around and left, and several officials from the Criminal Department immediately followed.

In just a moment, before they were seated, most of the officials had already left, and a group of gentry also left, even Gao Lian, the president of the Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce, was also a look of regret, and found a reason to leave.

It was still lively before, but at this time it was already deserted, Dong Shizhen looked a little embarrassed, Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "If Lord Dong has something, you can go back first." ”

Dong Shizhen shook his head and sighed: "Don't blame them, Lord Governor, now there are all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and everyone has something to do on hand, so ......!" ”

Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't help it, and sneered: "Something to do?" If you know the day of the Governor's arrival, why don't you make arrangements in advance? If it's getting late today, how much more ...... can there be than the Governor! Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Xuanyuan, you are shouldering heavy responsibilities, and we don't have to be harsh." He beckoned to all the people who remained, "Let's all sit down first." At this time, it was clear that only a handful of officials remained, but there were still some gentry left.

Dongfang Xin left the North Lookout Tower in a hurry, and when he got out of the North Lookout Tower, he slowed down, and walked on the long street surrounded by a group of people.

Behind him, the director of the Criminal Department had already jogged to catch up, Dongfang Xin glanced back, and saw that many officials and gentry behind Ai Zong walked out of the restaurant, and his face couldn't help showing a look of pride, and when he saw Ai Zong coming forward, he asked with a smile: "Lord Ai, why did you come out so quickly?" ”

Ai Zong smiled and said: "I heard that there is good wine in the General's Mansion, and I want to go over and drink a few glasses, but I go slowly, for fear of being snatched away by others." ”

Dongfang Xin laughed and said: "The general's mansion lacks everything, but there is no shortage of wine." He looked around and said, "Ben Jiang is still going to go back and sleep well, since everyone has come out, it is better to go to Ben General's Mansion to drink." ”

A group of people immediately chimed in: "I was about to go to the general's mansion to ask for a drink." ”

An official next to him said in a low voice: "General, let's do this today, aren't we...... Isn't there something wrong? ”

"What? Are you afraid of him? Dongfang Xin squinted, "If you are afraid that our Governor will be unhappy, you can go back." ”

"That's not what Xia Guan meant." The man was busy.

Someone next to him interjected: "By knowing a prince, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, hehe, it's just that the carp will always be a carp, and if you skip the dragon gate, it won't become a dragon." ”

"Yes, just such a person, he also wants to be the governor of Xiguan, and he wants to bully us into and pee on our heads." Another official said: "Just like him, he deserves it!" ”

Everyone immediately laughed, and Dongfang Xin said leisurely: "You can't say that, it's the governor sent by the imperial court, let's go out of the city to greet him today, and we have already given him face, but tonight's reception banquet, but we can't let him kick his nose in the face, always let him understand that this Xiguan is not his final say, even if he is the governor, but if he wants to gain a foothold here, he must also show his ability." ”

Ai Zongdao, the director of the Criminal Department, said: "General, look at his appearance, what kind of ability do you really have?" General Wu Shuangquan, Governor Zhu is appreciative of the adults, so he handed over the Pingxi Army to the general, before he came, this Xiguan was under the governance of the general and Dong Zhizhou, in good order, and now he ran over and inserted this pole, which is a curse or a blessing to Xiguan! ”

"Lord Ai, that's too much." Dongfang Xin said with a smile: "Ben General is a martial artist, where do you know how to govern one side, Dong Zhizhou is a real capable person, Ben General is just a big boss, commanding soldiers and horses is a strength, suppressing bandits and quelling chaos, and ensuring the safety of one side is what Ben General is best at." ”

"If it weren't for the general sitting in the Pingxi Army and suppressing those small bandits, where would we be at peace in Shuoquan?" Ai Zong said solemnly: "The people of Shuoquan now live and work in peace and contentment, and the reason for this is the general's work." ”

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Dongfang Xin laughed and said, "Let's all go drink." ”

"General, we're out, but there's still someone there." An official next to him sneered: "It seems that some people really don't know what to do, and they should be given some color to see ...... when they go back!" ”

"Those two thorns in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, find an opportunity to remove them." Ai Zong approached Dongfang Xin's side and said in a low voice: "As soon as this Governor of Chu comes, those two guys will definitely go over there......!" ”

"It's all for the imperial court...... But merit should be rewarded, and guilt should be punished......! Dongfang Xin touched his thick beard and said with deep meaning: "Don't be anxious, those who can stand will always stand, and those who can't stand will always fall." ”

Dongfang Xin and a group of officials talked and laughed, and everyone in Beiwanglou also sat down, Chu Huan was already clear at this time, the main officials who stayed, in addition to Dong Shizhen, were Han Hai of the Ministry of Industry and Gu Lishou of the Ministry of Rites, in addition to some gentry representatives headed by Su Zhongyan, Chu Huan did not say too much during the banquet, they were all polite greetings, and the wine had not yet passed the third round, Chu Huan seemed to be a little drunk, and immediately said to everyone that he felt a little tired and wanted to go back to the house to rest.

Everyone sent Chu Huan out of the restaurant at the moment, and at this time it was already dark, Dong Shizhen sent someone to lead the way and led Chu Huan and his party to the Governor's Mansion.

The Governor's Mansion sounds very magnificent, but when Chu Huan saw it, he couldn't help sighing, Dong Shizhen claimed that the Governor's Mansion had been cleaned up before, but Chu Huan looked at it, this Governor's Mansion really didn't look like it had been cleaned up, the two big lions in front of the mansion, one had no lion head, and the other was split in two, leaving only half of the lion, if there was any bright spot, it was that a new plaque was hung at the door of the Governor's Palace, which read "Governor's Palace" in three golden characters.

Not far from the Governor's Palace, there is really a relatively spacious barracks, which has always been the guard barracks of the Governor's Palace, and has always been the resting place for the guards of the Governor's Palace, and it is not a problem to accommodate two or three hundred people, which just solves the problem of accommodation for the escort team brought by Chu Huan from Beijing.

When Chu Huan entered the governor's mansion, the entrance compound was really open, and Sun Zikong heard that Chu Huan was coming back, and he had already come over, looking angry and ruined, and said with a complaint: "Master, this is ...... Is this really the Doge's Palace? There are tattered and tattered everywhere, this mansion is not small, and there are many houses, but many of them do not even have windows and doors, and the water in several pools in the mansion has ...... smell! ”

Chu Huan touched his chin and asked, "Can I cook in the kitchen?" ”

"That...... I can make do with it, too. ”

"It's not winter, it's not cold at night, and everyone can always make do with sleep." Chu Huan said: "Don't worry about someone stealing it, General Xuanyuan will send someone to guard the mansion." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, if someone sneaks into the mansion, it will be a dereliction of duty for the last general. ”

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't have to be like this. Xiang Sun Zikong said: "Now it's different in the capital, you can eat and live, make do with it first, don't be anxious about everything......!" ”

"Master, you ...... Are you here to be a governor, or are you ...... Or was it sent here......! The grandson was full of resentment, "How can they treat you like this?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Huan's face sank, "Clean up well...... Yes, how is Madame now? ”

"Dr. Sun has just shown it to his wife, and he has almost recovered." Sun Tzu hurriedly said: "Qi Yunwei has already taken the brothers to pick a few decent yards and clean them up, which can be lived, Madame, they have already moved in, but there are no furniture, it is very empty, and they still have to buy ...... Qi Yunwei is still taking the brothers to clean up other places......! ”

Chu Huan said: "Everyone has been on the road for a few days, let everyone rest first, nourish their spirits, and then pick up the ...... tomorrow!" Xiang Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Xuanyuan, you help me choose a few brothers who are skillful, it is best to be bold and careful, I want to use people ......!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai didn't ask Chu Huan what he wanted someone to do, nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

Chu Huan beckoned to Qiu Ruxue and the white blind man: "Come with me, I have something to explain to you......!" He was about to lead the two of them over to talk, but he heard a voice from the front door: "My lord, this is ...... Come and see ......! Chu Huan turned around and saw several soldiers in front of the mansion, as if something had happened.

Chu Huan was puzzled, hurried over, and arrived at the door, but saw that the originally dark street was already full of fire, like a long fire dragon, coming this way.

"Protect your lordship!" Xuanyuan Shengcai had already held down the handle of the knife, and all the soldiers were about to draw the knife out of the sheath, Chu Huan had already raised his hand and said, "Slow down......!" But he saw that the procession was in the lead, a carriage, and behind the carriage was a convoy, and in the light of the fire, he could clearly see one cart after another, and the cart seemed to be full of things.
