A group of people waited by the dock at dawn in the morning, and they didn't eat breakfast.

I only ate some snacks with tea in the teahouse, and when I saw noon, I drank pot after pot of tea, and the thatched house ran several times, and the stomach became more and more out of stock.

The more I drink tea, the more hungry I feel, and everyone is a little unbearable.

But no one dared to mention the matter of eating, so he only prayed in his heart that the two adults would come soon.

Until midday, there was a commotion on the dockside, and the officials who had been paying attention to the ships coming and going on the river hurriedly came to report: "Lord Qiqi, there are two official ships on the river——"

When Lu Wenguang heard this, he threw away the tea cup in his hand, tidied up his official uniform, and ran downstairs with his legs.

When I got to the dock, sure enough, there was an official ship from the east and the west, and these two adults met together?

The two official ships also spotted each other, and after the boatman in the bow waved the flag, the ship coming from the west sped up.

After a while, they docked at the edge of the dock, and after docking, a group of armored guards disembarked from the ship and surrounded the dock.

The officials of Jing County, seeing these guards, honestly stepped back and gave up their important positions.

Then, a man in a vermilion three-grade official robe paced out of the cabin.

It was Zhu Haoran.

Lu Wenguang led a group of people to wait, and bowed their heads.

With a warm smile on his face, Zhu Haoran took two steps forward and reached out to hold Lu Wenguang's hand: "Brother Lu is polite!" ”

Although Lu Wenguang heard Imperial Doctor Du say that Zhu Haoran was kind, he didn't think of such a kindness, and he was called a brother and a brother when he opened his mouth, and he was flattered for a while, and he didn't even dare to say that he wanted to give Zhu Haoran a salute and introduce his entourage.

Zhu Haoran raised his hand lightly: "Brother Lu, you're not busy." And follow me to greet Lord Chen first—"

Only then did Lu Wenguang realize that there was a big Buddha on the river! This is exactly what I forgot about when I saw Zhu Haoran for a while.

With an embarrassed face, he agreed, followed behind Zhu Haoran, and didn't dare to say more.

After seeing Zhu Haoran's boat speeding up and approaching the shore, Governor Chen's boat sailed over unhurriedly and docked on the shore.

It was a team of guards who came down first, and they were about to surround the dock, but they saw Zhu Shilang's guards, and when they saw the armor on their bodies, they were dressed like Yulinwei in Beijing, and they were stunned for a while.

Zhu Haoran saw the opportunity quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the guards on his side let out half of the dock in an uproar.

Governor Chen's chief of guard waved his hand and asked his subordinates to fill the vacant slots.

At that time, the cabin door opened, and a middle-aged man with a long body and clear eyebrows walked out, not wearing an official uniform, but a robe with dark purple flowers, and when he didn't smile, there was only a majestic aura between his eyebrows.

Zhu Haoran took three steps forward first: "Xiaguan see Lord Chen!" ”

Lu Wenguang and the others also bowed their heads and bowed in the back, and shouted unevenly: "See Lord Chen!" ”

Governor Chen saw Zhu Haoran at a glance, and immediately took two steps forward, lightly holding Zhu Haoran's arm, and his tone revealed a bit of affection and resentment: "Brother Zhu, aren't you going to see the outside?" Do we still need such an identity between us? Don't you see me in casual clothes today? Today, let's only talk about personal relationships, not about business! Finally, I came to Jing County to relax for two or three days, don't make me uncomfortable! ”

Lu Wenguang was shocked, listening to this, Governor Chen and Zhu Shilang seem to have a good relationship?

Zhu Haoran also smiled: "Since this is the case, then it is better for the lower officials to be respectful and obey their orders!" "It's a joke.

The two exchanged two more words, and Zhu Haoran seemed to realize that there were still others present.

smiled: "Look at us, we haven't seen each other for many days, and we have said a few more words, but we have forgotten, and there is still a group of people waiting." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and introduced to Governor Chen: "This is Lu Wenguang, the county commander of Jing County, Lord Lu!" ”

Lu Wenguang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the people behind him also hurriedly followed suit.

The smile on Governor Chen's face subsided a little and nodded.

Lu Wenguang was heart-picked, and only gave a brief introduction to the deployment, focusing on the dean of Evergreen Academy and the master of Baiyun Academy, who originally planned to introduce Imperial Physician Du, but when he turned his head to look, Imperial Physician Du didn't know that he was cowering in that corner, and he didn't even see it for a while, so forget it.

Governor Chen looked at the dean of Evergreen Academy, but his face was a little kinder, and he took the initiative to ask a few words.

I also looked at the students who followed the dean of Evergreen Academy a little more, and praised a few words of youth and promising.

Zhu Haoran took a step behind, and also looked along the line of sight, and when he saw Song Chongjin, his eyes were stunned, but he quickly returned to normal.

After greeting for a while, it was noon at the moment, and the sun was shining, so Lu Wenguang hurriedly invited the two adults to the arranged accommodation to rest.

The two courtyards arranged are only one street apart, very quiet, except for a few servants who clean, and a few maids who serve tea and pour water, there is no one else.

Finally settled the two big Buddhas, Lu Wenguang was very eye-catching, and only said that the two adults would rest a little and wash the dust in the evening.

On the other hand, people arranged that from the best restaurant, the finished luncheon was sent to the two courtyards.

Zhu Haoran washed up, changed into homely civilian clothes, and staggered towards the courtyard where Governor Chen stayed.

Governor Chen also seemed to have already ordered him, and when he saw Zhu Haoran, someone invited him in.

Zhu Haoran entered the courtyard, and in the hall, Governor Chen also changed his clothes, was drinking tea, saw him coming, and didn't see outside, pointing to the opposite position and asking him to sit down.

He also asked for food to be served, and the two of them talked while eating.

"Do you have a clue about what the Holy Lord asked the two of us to do this time?" When Governor Chen mentioned the errand, his face was suddenly full of sadness.

Zhu Haoran smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine: "Decades ago, people died at the beginning and scattered, and now people are looking for it, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack?" ”

Governor Chen took a sip of a glass and sighed: "That can't be helped, the saint was forced to do so, in order to protect himself, he had to stand by and watch, otherwise I am afraid that even the saint will have to fold inside." Now that the saint is finally in power, looking back on the beginning, I can't sleep at night. This is also the saint's trust in us, so he handed it over to us, if it is messed up, how to explain it to the saint? ”

Zhu Haoran smiled bitterly and was silent.

Anyone can tell the truth, but it's really their turn to know that it's been decades since this happened, what should I do?

Besides, I am a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and not a waiter in the Criminal Department, why do I always let myself do the things of the Criminal Department?

These words can only be buried in the heart, and not half a sentence can be confided.

On the face, I have to be grateful for the trust of the saint, not trust him as a confidant, and he will not let himself come out to do this private matter.

Governor Chen didn't know anything, but he knew a little more, and he knew how important this matter was to the Holy Lord, and if it was really done, he couldn't say that he could get one step closer.

After only two sighs, the two returned to normal, and by the way, they discussed how to cooperate with each other.
