Swallow Rock, known as the first rock of the Yangtze River, is located in the northern suburbs of Jinling City, has always been the place where tourists are weaving, the swallow Rock of today is also a sea of people, the difference is that all the people who come are solemn, no one dares to walk around at will, there are countless armor-armed soldiers around or patrol back and forth, or hold guns on guard, a tense atmosphere, tens of thousands of people gathered together, it is orderly silence, everyone's eyes are all consciously or unconsciously looking at the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Whether it is the local officials standing at the front of the queue, or the squires and ordinary people at the back, it is all the same.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Look, dragon boat!"

……

Halfway through, at the corner of Yanziji, a huge dragon boat was escorted by three warships, going upstream, slowly revealing its true face, and the crowd that had been waiting for a long time immediately sounded a commotion, obviously, the protagonist everyone was waiting for arrived!

"Playing music!"

Seeing that the dragon boat had arrived, the spirit of Baxi, who was standing at the forefront of the waiting procession, was immediately lifted, regardless of the fact that the dragon boat was still far from the shore, with a wave of his hand, he couldn't wait to give an order loudly, and the excitement was overflowing, quite out of shape, but the local officials who followed closely behind were not surprised, and all of them had a look of course on their faces, which was not surprising, just because the person who was about to come was Qincha Belle Hongqing, speaking of which, the officials on the ground of the two rivers more or less owed Hongqing the affection - The settlement of the arrears on the ground of the two rivers can be cleared, all thanks to Hongqing's support, otherwise, I really don't know how many people will be questioned by the house.

"Xiaguan Liangjiang Governor Ba Xi has his own officials to welcome Lord Qincha!"

The time of half a pillar of incense passed, and the slowly moving dragon boat finally landed on the dock, and the pedal was just laid, and I saw Hongqing, who was dressed in a neat Baylor costume, surrounded by a large group of guards, slowly walked out of the cabin, and swept the local officials and people who came to greet him with a smile, and then shook his big sleeves and walked up the river bank along the pedal.

"The Pakistani military gate is polite, and there is such a warm welcome from Lao Zhugong, Ben Beile is grateful, and please calm down."

Although Hongqing Ren Zhengqincha said that it was the first time, but this kind of big scene of thousands of people welcoming him had already been seen many times, and he would not be very nervous at all, so he accepted everyone's great gifts very calmly, raised his hand in a chic manner, and called out very kindly.

"Sergent grace."

Hongqing called up, and everyone didn't dare to slack off a little, so they all thanked each other, and then they all stood up.

"Ba Junmen, after a few months, you are still so strong, it is really admirable."

Although the identity and title are far higher than Ba Xi, but for the absolute henchmen of old men like Ba Xi, Hongqing did not dare to take a big shelf, and when everyone got up, Hongqing had already stepped forward with a smile, took Ba Xi's hand, and greeted him politely.

"Qing Belle is polite, the old decay is just a lingering breath, when Qing Belle is young and promising, the people of Liangjiang have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time."

The so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, Hongqing is so polite, Ba Xi has to return the favor, and he also greets with a smile, although they are all nonsense that is not very interesting, but it is essential for enlivening the atmosphere.

"Lord Ba has an overreputation, Ben Belle is here to make trouble, if something goes wrong, he has to take care of Master Ba more."

On such occasions, Hongqing coped with it with ease, talking and laughing, swaying freely, not like a teenager in his early tens, but like an old man, which really made the officials and people of Liangjiang who had never seen Hongqing himself involuntarily feel the feeling of "meeting is better than being famous".

"It should be, it should be, but there is a need, the old man should do his best, and now, the post station is ready to stop, please move Qingbele."

As for Hongqing's intention, Ba Xi had already learned from the secret letter sent by the old man, and he also wanted to help Hongqing, but it was not good to talk about it on such occasions, so he could only respond vaguely, and then turned sideways and made a gesture of "please", planning to welcome Hongqing to the inn and then talk in detail.

"Lord Ba is slow, the courtyard in the Xiaguan Mansion has been prepared, if the Qing Beleken comes, it will be the luck of the three lives of the Xiaguan."

didn't wait for Hongqing to move, but saw the white-haired Cao Yin flash out from the side, and humbly also sent an invitation to Hongqing.

Well? Aren't these two good friends? Why did you get into trouble?

Although Baxi's face changed slightly, Hongqing was keenly aware of it, and his heart couldn't help but move, and doubts suddenly rose, but it was not good to ask at this time, but his brain was running at high speed.

"Since Lord Cao is so gracious, then Ben Baylor will be cheeky."

Although I can't figure out what is very awkward between Ba and Cao, but Hongqing doesn't want to participate, but when I think that Cao Yin has served as the two Huai salt envoys for two terms, and it is the dark pile of the old man's faction on the ground of the two rivers, it has an extremely important role in Hongqing's next salt affairs, and it is difficult to refuse Cao Yin's invitation in public and private, because of this, even if it may make the old man Ba unhappy, Hongqing still simply agreed to Cao Yin's invitation.

"Thank you for your kindness, please!"

Although Cao Yin came out to rob Hu at this time, although he had planned it a long time ago, but whether he could achieve the effect or not was not something he could control, and he was really worried that Hongqing would not give face, so he listened to Hongqing so happily, when even if the happy old face was smiling into a chrysanthemum, he didn't dare to say any more, and he turned to one side busily, and respectfully compared a "please" gesture.

"Well, all the princesses, please."

As a Qincha Baylor, he should have the dignity of Qincha, Hongqing will not pay attention to Cao Yin's courtesy at this time, nor will he care about what the old man thinks, nodded reservedly, waved his hand very kindly, and then raised his feet and walked to the eight sedan chairs that had been prepared on the side, and a group of palace guards who were on the side hurriedly stepped forward and escorted Hongqing into the sedan chair......

Cao's Mansion is very large, in terms of floor area, it is a few points larger than the Prince's Mansion, it is said that there is a suspicion of violating the system, but this is the old man's license, the world is so unique, the decoration is exquisite, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely luxurious, especially the "Ning Cui Xuan" where Hongqing stays is a new decoration, everywhere is brilliant, extravagant, even if Hongqing has seen countless big scenes, he can't help but secretly smack his tongue, but smacking his tongue, Hongqing did not refuse to stay, There is no leisure to enjoy such luxury, not for anything else, just because it is just to deal with those local officials who come to visit, and Hongqing will be tossed enough, there is no way, the ground of the two rivers is a rich land, and there are more than 200 civil and military officials above the fifth grade alone, his voice was a little hoarse, and he finally stopped, but the old man turned back again, saying that he was going to hold a banquet to wash the dust for Hongqing.

"Ba Junmen, there is no need for this banquet, the settlement of the arrears on the ground of the two rivers has not yet ended, everything is still simple, the mind, Ben Beile has received it, if you don't give up, just take a few mouthfuls at will in this Cao family, and then talk about it in detail?"

Since leaving Beijing on April 15, this way by boat has been a full month, although the road is smooth, but after all, there is no room for activity, Hongqing has already been suffocated to the bones are a little rusty, this is not easy to set foot on the ground, since I don't want to go to the wine field to soak again, besides, he is here to rectify the salt business, and not to inspect the entire Liangjiang ground, really make the scene huge, no land to be criticized, in case of being the officials to participate in a book, the fun is not small, because of this, For the invitation of Old Man Ba to set up a banquet, Hongqing was not sensitive.

"The Cao family's alcohol is expensive, and the lower officials can't afford it!"

As soon as he heard Hongqing say this, Old Man Ba's face instantly became gloomy, although he never attacked Hongqing, but the sound of the urn's angry answer was full of undisguised indignation.

"Could it be that Ba Junmen had some misunderstanding with Lord Cao?"

Hongqing was originally just a casual invitation, but he didn't expect Ba Xi's reaction to be so big, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered the disagreement between Old Man Ba and Cao Yin at the dock, and the doubts in his heart suddenly became bigger, and after a moment of silence, he still asked.

"That's it, it's not a big deal, the old man lost his words, Qing Belle stayed, and the next official resigned."

Hongqing didn't ask, but under this question, Old Man Ba's face suddenly became a little more ugly, but he obviously didn't want to mention it, so he just shook his head with a pale face, got up, and left angrily.

Heh, this old man is so angry, what's going on?

Hongqing really didn't expect Old Man Ba to react like this, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Old Man Ba had disappeared without a trace, and in desperation, he could only smile wryly and shake his head.
