Outside the city of Surabaya, on the western slope, the grass is green.

County Cheng Wuyuan is a yellow-faced man in his thirties, with a short figure, thin and weak, and under the background of the tall You Nan Mountain, he is like a teenager who has not grown up.

Under the guidance of Chen Xiaoyan, Wu Yuan stepped forward to meet Mu Hai in small steps, and said: "Cheng Wu Yuan, the county governor of Surabaya County, Li Yao, the county lieutenant, Bo Xiangzhi, and the thirteen officials of the government pay a visit to the county magistrate. The people of Surabaya County followed Wood Yuan to bow respectfully to Muhai.

"Get up." Mu Hai put his hands on the throne and said with a smile, "Zhou Ye, hand over the appointment documents and official seals to the chief book for verification." ”

Lord Bo Xiangzhi nodded and took the letter of appointment and the official seal without looking at it, and handed it to the official behind him, and said with a smile: "The verification is serious, I have already seen the portrait of the county magistrate, and it is not bad at all." Besides, where would anyone dare to pretend to be a child of the Qin family? ”

Hey, someone would dare to pretend and stand right in front of you.

Mu Hai and Zhou Ye glanced at each other and laughed.

Wood was far from knowing why, but his boss smiled, and he also hunched his waist and smiled cautiously. After Mu Hai had laughed enough, he bowed down and said, "Since it has been confirmed, please also ask the county lord to follow me into the city." ”

Mu Hai nodded and said to You Nanshan: "Brother You, let's go into the city." ”

"Brother Qin, please first." You Nanshan took a step back, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, he could not walk in front of Muhai in public or private.

Wu Yuan, Li Yao and others surrounded Muhai to cross Surabaya by boat and enter the city through the West City Gate. All the people in the county government were cautiously speculating about the temper of the new boss, and Mu Hai was also paying attention to everyone's behavior.

But seeing how profound the knowledge is, Mu Hai is young and his eyesight is naturally not good. Along the way, except for Li Yao's unconsciously revealing domineering attitude and Wood Yuan's many times secretly staring at Xiang'er, nothing else was seen.

It is natural that high-ranking officials in the temple are good at recruiting and making decisions, but if it is said that they are still very powerful in observing words and feelings, and people are sophisticated.

It's easier said than done to see through them.

Mu Hai looked at a group of people with the same face, so he could only give up in despair, and said secretly: Lao Tzu is still too young.

The roads in Surabaya City are tortuous, the main roads are curved and arc-shaped, Muhai is used to the horizontal and vertical roads in the north, and he is not suitable for entering the city, and he is a little dizzy when he walks. When I arrived at the county office, I always felt that the door of the county government was facing west.

The yamen in the world all sit in the north and face south, and no one dares to break this rule.

Mu Hai also knew this truth, and didn't dare to say anything, but secretly pinched Xiang'er's little hand in private, and said in a low voice: "Okay Xiang'er, how do I feel that the gate of the yamen is facing west?" ”

Xiang'er's beautiful eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, and when she saw Mu Hai's serious look, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "Giggles, it turns out that Childe is really lost, I said that Childe is always looking at the sun from time to time along the way." ”

Mu Hai's face was slightly red, and he smiled, and said, "I just came, I didn't adapt, mainly because I was too young." ”

"Really?" Xiang'er glanced at Mu Hai charmingly, and said with a smile, "However, Xiang'er won't get lost when she is a teenager." ”

Mu Hai defended: "That's because you didn't come to Surabaya City at that time, you are now grown up and developed, and you will naturally not get lost when you come......" Secretly rubbed Xiang'er's bulging and soft breasts with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Look at how well you have developed, it's strange that you have to get lost." Alas, it looks like I'm still not yet to develop. ”

Xiang'er snorted, her face flushed with shame, and she couldn't say a word.

Wood, who has been paying attention to this, opened his mouth wide and was shocked by Mu Hai's theory.

There are three layers of the door of the county government, from the outside to the inside, it is the gate, the second door, the instrument door, and the three doors are all double doors, a total of six, which is often said to be the six doors of the county government.

After six doors is the county government hall, where the county hears cases, holds meetings, and holds ceremonies.

There is no door in the hall of the county government, and a couplet is hung on the left and right porches, which reads: "Dealing with injustice, the joints are blocked, and it is the weather of Yama." The next couplet wrote: "Disaster relief, compassion is immeasurable, and it is still a bodhisattva's heart." The horizontal criticism is: "For the government and the people." ”

After Mu Hai finished reading the couplet, he smiled at the county Cheng Wuyuan and said, "Who wrote this couplet?" ”

Wood said: "It is rumored to be left by the county ordinance ten years ago. ”

Mu Hai took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to touch the couplet, and said, "What does Brother You think of this couplet?" ”

You Nanshan said with a smile: "Loyal to the monarch and love the people, a pure heart." ”

"Yes, the word is a good word, and the union is a good link, but it's a pity that I heard that the people don't admit it. Isn't it often rumored in the market that the gate of the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money, and this couplet is just a joke hanging here. Mu Hai sighed.

"Your Excellency......" Wood Yuan's face changed slightly.

Mu Hai waved his hand and said with a smile: "The couplet written ten years ago is still spotless and clear, rare, rare." ”

Wood was far from understanding what Mu Hai meant, and cautiously agreed: "What the Lord said is true. ”

Mu Hai glanced at Wu Yuan and said, "Anyway, after all, the yamen represents a place of justice, whether it is true or false, the façade is always needed." ”

Wood bowed from afar and said, "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people." ”

Mu Hai laughed, and said secretly in his heart: That's right, justice is in the hearts of the people, but unfortunately, it is only in the hearts of the people, not in this royal law hall.

Wood Yuan was relieved to see that the new county magistrate finally stopped bothering with the couplet in front of the door and walked into the lobby.

In the middle of the county hall hangs a large plaque hanging high with a mirror, the tables, chairs and bookcases are neatly placed, and the killing rods on both sides of the column are also spotless. When Liu Xianger saw the clean and tidy lobby, she sighed in her heart, and her joy and sorrow were incomprehensible.

The lord Bo Xiangzhi respectfully placed the county order seal on the main case, and Mu Hai has officially become the lord of Surabaya County.

You Nanshan coughed lightly, hugged his fist at Mu Hai and said, "Brother Qin, since I have arrived at the county hall, I am also relieved." The affairs of the family should not be delayed, and I will take my leave. ”

"Brother You, of course the matter is urgent, but allowing me to set up a table of wine and banquet before leaving, it will always take much time." Makikaido.

"I still don't eat this meal." Yunan Mountain Road.

"How can this work? Along the way, thanks to Brother You's protection, I was able to come to Surabaya safely, and Brother You wouldn't deliberately want me to owe this favor and not pay it back. ”

You Nanshan shook his head and said in a low voice: "Where is Qin Gongzi, why do you have to worry about trivial matters?" If I don't eat this meal, I can be regarded as an explanation to my father, I can't help my brother die, and I am still drinking and having fun here. ”

Mu Hai thought for a moment and muttered, "That's fine, I'll send Brother You out of the city." ”

You Nanshan shook his head and smiled: "Brother Qin's kindness, I understand it, you are new to the city, and there are many affairs, so don't delay your time, just let Zhou Ye and County Lieutenant Li send it on your behalf." ”

"Then follow Brother You's wishes, Zhou Ye and County Lieutenant Li will send Brother You on behalf of the county." Mu Hai commanded.

Zhou Ye and Li Yao took the promise and went out to prepare the horses.

You Nanshan looked left and right for a while, and suddenly leaned into Mu Hai's ear and said in a low voice: "Brother Qin, at the moment of life and death, Zhou Ye and the three of them abandoned you, and they couldn't believe it. After that, he said: "The mountains and rivers have met, and there will be a period later." ”

Mu Hai nodded, he naturally didn't trust Zhou Ye and the others, and said with deep meaning: "Brother You, don't worry, I know." ”
