The edict of the Ministry of Officials finally arrived, and the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture was Shi Kefa, the head of the household department.

This appointment was unexpected by many people, but it was expected by Zheng Xunrui, because he recommended Shi Kefa to the ministry.

Shi Kefa used to be the official of the Xi'an Mansion, at the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Wu Fu, who was the governor at the time, recommended him to serve as the head of the household department, more than two years have passed, Shi Kefa has not been promoted, it is estimated that the table of the household department is general, at this time Zheng Xunrui recommended him to serve as the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture, anyway, it is a great step from the top of the rank, from the head of the sixth product to the prefect of the fourth product.

Shi Kefa is familiar with the situation of the Xi'an Mansion, and he can start to serve as a director soon, and Shi Kefa has very good advantages, that is, he is fair and clear, and the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is indecisive, and he is often unable to make up his mind on major matters, Zheng Xunrui does not care in this regard, what he needs is an honest and honest prefect, and he does not need an arbitrary prefect.

When Shi Kefa took office in Xi'an, Zheng Xunrui specially found him to talk, talked about some problems in Xi'an, and also put forward clear requirements, Shi Kefa was very surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many problems in Xi'an Fucheng, you must know that when he was here, although the problems existed, they were not very prominent, far less than Cheng Dù today.

With the support of Zheng Xunrui, the atmosphere of the Xi'an Mansion was invigorated, the style of the officials was much better, and the efficiency of work was also significantly enhanced.

More than three months have passed, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli have fully adapted to the local life, the two have even gained weight, and the letters they wrote to their families are also safe, of course, their families are absolutely assured, after all, the two of them are doing things under Zheng Xunrui, and they will definitely not suffer any grievances, and they dare not mess around.

On the first day of June, the climate is already very hot, the climate of Xi'an Fucheng is a little dry, this dryness and the hot climate make Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli a little uncomfortable.

Early in the morning, the two left the governor's yamen and went to the teahouse to pass the time.

The opera in the teahouse made the two of them very interested, the impassioned Qin dialect sounded very tasteful, the family members were not around, and when they met Xiu Mu, they could only pass the time in the teahouse, restaurant and green building.

The teahouse sings "Quanmei Case", this opera sings very high, the storyline is also very good, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli are very fascinated by it, as southerners, after they came to Xi'an, they really came into contact with the Qin dialect, and they have some unique understanding of this kind of opera with a high tone.

A middle-aged man came to the two of them, clasped his fists and saluted, and after greeting them, sat down beside them.

Dr. Tea quickly came up with a pot of tea and put it on the table in front of Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli, the two of them were very strange, they had already ordered a pot of tea, and they didn't need it for the time being.

The middle-aged man smiled and said that this was the tea he invited the two of them to drink, so they might as well taste it.

The tea poured out has a unique fragrance, which quickly triggered the sense of smell and taste of Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli, this is West Lake Longjing tea, when the two were in Jiangning County, they could often drink Longjing tea, but after coming to Xi'an, they almost never saw Longjing tea.

The reason why West Lake Longjing tea cannot be found is because the price is too high and the quantity is not much, even if some Longjing tea is trafficked to Xi'an, it is also purchased by those scholars at one time, and it is almost impossible to see it on the market.

Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli naturally understood the doorway, so they were a little polite to the middle-aged people.

While drinking West Lake Longjing tea, while chatting with the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man did not introduce himself, but for many situations in the south, he talked eloquently, looked very familiar, and also knew some about the customs and customs of Jiangning County, which surprised Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli, they and the middle-aged man quickly chatted together, quite a bit of a feeling of hating each other.

After watching "The Beauty Case" in the teahouse, the middle-aged man invited the two to the restaurant for dinner, but Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli did not refuse.

When eating, the middle-aged man did not go to those very famous restaurants, but took the two to a restaurant in the north of the city, the restaurant looked very inconspicuous from the outside, but when they entered the restaurant, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli smelled the familiar taste again, which was the taste of southern cuisine, which was completely different from the taste of the dishes in Xi'an.

When the dishes came up, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli's eyes were straight, and they were all Jiangnan dishes.

This meal took a long time, and after eating, the time was close to Shen.

After the middle-aged man settled the bill, he smiled and hugged his fists and saluted to leave.

The next day, before noon, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli couldn't wait to rush to the north of the city, ready to taste the southern dishes again, the middle-aged man was already waiting here, Zhao Danyu was vying for a treat, but the middle-aged man did not follow.

Once born and twice cooked, when eating and drinking, Zhao Danyu, Liang Xingli and middle-aged people seem to be old friends.

On the third day, the middle-aged man was still waiting in the restaurant, Zhao Danyu insisted on settling the bill by himself, and the middle-aged man did not refuse, but he said that he would arrange the matters after the meal.

After eating, I walked out of the restaurant, there was a carriage waiting outside, and the three of them got into the carriage.

The carriage headed towards the west of the city, and most of the restaurants, teahouses, inns, green buildings and gambling houses in Xi'an Mansion City were in the west of the city, which was equivalent to the concentration of entertainment venues.

The carriage stopped in front of a gambling house, and the middle-aged man smiled and asked the two if they wanted to go to the gambling house to try their luck.

Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli did not refuse.

This time to push pai gow, the luck of the two is not very good, lost some silver, but all these silver are middle-aged people's pockets, it should be said that the loss of silver is not much, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli are not gentlemen, knowing that after losing some silver, they insisted on not playing.

The middle-aged man did not insist.

The three of them walked out of the gambling house, and it was already dark.

It was natural to go to the Qinglou, and in the face of the exquisite wine and food prepared by the Qinglou, the three of them, accompanied by the girl of the Qinglou, drank heartily and were very happy, so that the bustard's mother brought in a plate of lit incense and did not notice it.

I don't know why, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli both felt their lust rising, looking at the Qinglou woman in front of them, as if they were a fairy in the sky, the two couldn't restrain it at all, held the woman in their arms, and rubbed it to their heart's content......

After the middle-aged man drank the prepared water, he quietly left the Qinglou.

Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli stayed in the Qinglou and did not leave that night.

After dawn, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli left the Qinglou in a daze, and when they walked out of the Qinglou, they couldn't stand steadily, they knew very well that this matter could not be known by Zheng Xunrui, they could go to the Qinglou to eat, drink and play, but they just couldn't, the imperial court had strict requirements for officials, even if they wanted to **, they had to go to the Fule Yuan under the jurisdiction of the Teaching Workshop Division, and the women in the Fule Yuan, known as the singing and dancing women, were actually official prostitutes.

Officials can't stay overnight in the Qinglou, this is the rule of the imperial court, although when it comes to now, no one cares about this, Nanjing's Qinhuai River, I don't know how many officials go, but if someone really investigates, the officials will still be unlucky, not to mention that the two are Zheng Xunrui's brother-in-law, if Zheng Xunrui knows about it, he will not be scolded to death.

Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli didn't understand why they suddenly became lustful, they couldn't help it, it was not the first time they entered the Qinglou, they could all bear it, it didn't matter if they moved their hands and feet, it just couldn't happen to anything else.

When they were about to arrive at the governor's yamen, the two saw the middle-aged man again.

The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened, but when Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli saw the middle-aged man, their faces changed, they didn't know what to say, it was impossible to complain about the middle-aged man, all the silver was given by others, and besides, this ** thing was not controlled by themselves.

When greeting, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli's expressions were very embarrassed, and the middle-aged man smiled and invited the two to the restaurant for dinner, but this time the two refused, saying that they wanted to go back and see, afraid that the yamen had something to deal with.

The middle-aged man was not reluctant, and smiled as he watched the two enter the governor's yamen.

After the figures of Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli disappeared, the middle-aged man restrained his smile and got into the carriage.

The carriage headed in the direction of the south of the city, and soon stopped in front of a deep mansion compound.

The middle-aged man hurriedly entered the compound and went straight in the direction of the wing room in the front yard, where there were already people waiting.

When the middle-aged man saw the man in the wing, he saluted respectfully and began to report the matter in a low voice.

There was no expression on the man's face, and he waited until the middle-aged man finished speaking, and then he slowly commanded some words, the middle-aged man lowered his head and listened very seriously, although there was a trace of unnatural expression on the middle-aged man's face, but he didn't say anything.

After the middle-aged man left the wing, he hesitated for a moment and slowly walked towards the study in the middle courtyard.

The man in the wing room in the front yard stood up and paced slowly in the room, stopping from time to time, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was making some important decision.

After a long time, the man left the compound, stood at the gate of the compound, looked around vigilantly, and after finding that there was no one, he quickly left and hurried towards a certain place.

Not long after the man left, the middle-aged man accompanied another man with extraordinary bearing out of the compound, looking at the direction in which the man left, the middle-aged man's face was not very good, and the man with a bearing did not let go of his bearing, frowned slightly, and let out a sigh in his mouth
