But he didn't expect that after Su Man entered the yamen of the White Emperor City, no one came to greet him, and the entire yamen was empty, Su Man looked around suspiciously, as if he had gone to the wrong mansion.

Seeing that no one came to greet him, Su Man's heart was a little flustered, and he pulled the corner of Shi Yizhen's clothes, hoping to get an answer from Shi Yizhen.

"Shi Yizhen, the prefect of this White Emperor City won't be something, right? Could it be that Zhang An has been arrested?

Shi Yizhen naturally knew the temperament of the prefect of the White Emperor City. So he snorted coldly and shouted inside, "I said if you were to be a shrunken turtle in there again." We'll tear down all your yamen. ”

After hearing Shi Yizhen's threat, the prefect of the White Emperor City immediately put on his official uniform and staggered out, and when he arrived in front of Su Man, he respectfully greeted Su Man, "Isn't this Mrs. Lu, I don't know why Mrs. Lu came to the yamen of my White Emperor City." ”

When Su Man heard that the prefect of the White Emperor City actually called himself Mrs. Lu, instead of calling her the prefect of Yuzhou, he felt a little disappointed in his heart, but after thinking about it, although he had the token of the prefect, he had not yet taken office, so it was understandable that the prefect of the White Emperor City did not know why he was called for a while.

Shi Yizhen glanced impatiently at the prefect of the White Emperor City, to say that his courage was well-known in the imperial court, but at this time, it turned out to be like a perfunctory Su Man, unwilling to send troops.

But Shi Yizhen was a cheerful person, and said directly to the prefect of White Emperor City, "Governor Hu, you also know, these two Jinshi are the new prefects who are about to go to Yuzhou, I hope you can send the soldiers of White Emperor City to protect us and go to Yuzhou together." ”

Hearing Shi Yizhen say this, Hu Zhifu's face began to show embarrassment, and his whole body was twisted and crooked, as if he was deliberately shirking, only to hear him think for a moment, and squeak and whimper, "Unfortunately, you don't know that on the mountain of the White Emperor City, wild boars have been in turmoil recently, so the soldiers of this government have been sent up the mountain to catch wild boars, and there are no extra government soldiers who can spare them to escort you to Yuzhou." ”

Hearing this Hu Zhifu say this, Man was naturally very angry, and his face was slightly flushed.

Isn't it more important to say that they are the incoming prefects than a wild boar on the mountain?

"Governor Hu, it's not right for you to say that, now Yuzhou is in chaos, if we can't take office in time, Yuzhou will fall under Zhang An's control."

This Hu Governor nodded again and again, he also knew that Su Man was an official of the imperial court, and he should do his best to help his colleagues, maybe Zhang An was really ruthless, if he dared to disobey Zhang An's order, maybe he would fall to the ground immediately.

Seeing the timid appearance of the prefect of the White Emperor City, Shi Yizhen pursed his lips, directly took out his shelf as an official of the Imperial History Observatory, and said in disgust, "You also know that we are all from Beijing, me."

Seeing that you don't want to do it, wait until I tell the emperor about this matter and see how he punishes you. ”

Hearing that Shi Yi was really going to complain to the emperor, Hu Zhifu immediately knelt down, saying that he had been the prefect in this White Emperor City for a few years, and there had been no mistakes.

The people of the White Emperor City are simple, and there is nothing to do that requires their own labor, and it can be regarded as a fat difference, if Shi Yizhen impeached the emperor at this time, how could he come from to raise a family of old people. ¥ Aichi Literature... Free to read

So at this moment, he immediately begged Su Man and Shi Yizhen for mercy, "Don't, don't, don't, Master Shi, I know that you are an adult from Yushitai, don't say anything bad about me in front of the emperor, about escorting Mrs. Lu, I really have more than enough heart and strength, if you don't believe it, you can come with me." ”

So this prefect Hu had a bitter face, stumbled into the yamen, and the group naturally followed him in, only to see this prefect Hu took out a letter from his desk and put it in front of Su Man.

Su Man looked at the font on the letter, quite beautiful, and the end of it was also covered with Zhang An's private seal, which was written by Zhang An himself, and the words on it were all threats to Hu Governor's Mansion, and they must not shield Su Man, let alone help Su Man go to Yuzhou, otherwise Hu Governor's head will fall to the ground.

Su Man held the letter, his hand trembled slightly, it seemed that Zhang An had already noticed that the token in his hand was fake.

Hu Zhifu was on the side, his eyebrows were twisted together, his face was distorted with fear, and he said to Su Man, "Look, Mrs. Lu, Zhang An said so in the letter, I am such a little government soldier, how can I protect you from going to Yuzhou, which is thousands of miles away, Zhang An's soldiers will send killers to intercept us on this road, my little government soldiers are just fists and embroidered legs, how can they be compared with Zhang An's killers, you still don't embarrass me, if Zhang An is really angry, what if he attacks the people in the White Emperor City, Although I am a coward, I am also the parent official of White Emperor City, if I really hurt any people, how can I be worthy of their families. ”

Hearing this Hu Governor's earnest words, he was no longer embarrassed to persecute him, so he could only sigh and put Zhang An's handwritten letter into his sleeve.

Seeing that Man's eyes were full of sorrow, Hu Zhifu had an idea, and said to Man, "Although I can't send soldiers to help you, I think maybe there is someone who can help you." ”

Hearing this Hu Zhifu say this, he was naturally interested, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I don't know who Governor Hu said?"

"There is a very powerful merchant in this White Emperor City, who trades in the Bashu area and has a lot of prestige, if his goods enter and leave the city, the government will sell him a face and be exempted from inspection, if you can say that he will take you into Yuzhou City, wouldn't it be better?"

Hearing Governor Hu say this, Su Man seemed to see hope all of a sudden, so he hurried

grabbed Governor Hu's hand and asked, I don't know who Governor Hu is talking about.

Hu Zhifu pointed to a direction in the southeast of the White Emperor City, and said to Man, "Have you seen it, keep going over there, there is a big mansion, and there is a prince living in the house, named Tea Boy, that Tea Boy specializes in selling tea, if you can ask for his protection, he must have a way to take you into Yuzhou." ”

Hearing this Hu Governor's Mansion say this, Su Man naturally set off immediately and went to the mansion of the tea boy, to say that the mansion of the tea prince is very easy to find in the White Emperor City.

Because the White Emperor City belongs to Bashu, it is not too rich, but the mansion of the tea prince is particularly prominent, and the outside is a vermilion high wall, which looks rich and abnormal, and then look at the gate made of mahogany, it is even more gorgeous.

Su Man gently touched the door, this tea boy's mansion was actually more luxurious than the mansions of many officials in Shangjing.

After Su Man knocked on the door, he came to see a doorman inside, opened the door, and said politely to Su Man, "I don't know what happened to this girl when she came to our house?" Did you say that you came to find my son-in-law? ”

Su Man also immediately said politely to the doorman, "Yes, I'm looking for something about your son, I don't know if I can introduce it." ”

The doorman looked like he couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Su Man to stand and wait for a while, and he strode into the room to ask for the answer of the tea boy.

When this boy came out, he said to Su Man My son-in-law said that he could see you, but everyone else except you had to wait at the door, after all, my son-in-law likes to be quiet, and he doesn't like so many people to enter his house together.

Hearing that a man was allowed to go in, Pearl was a little anxious, and he didn't know who this tea boy was, since he could make the business so big, his mind was not very simple.

At this time, he was a little worried, Su Man glanced at Pearl, touched her head lovingly, and said to her, "It's okay, Pearl, I'll go and go back, and you will wait for me at the door." ”

Since Su Man said so, Pearl could only obey orders, and after Su Man entered, he found that the house was very large, and there were rare and exotic grasses planted everywhere in it, and the royal garden had a fight.

I didn't expect this tea boy to be so wealthy, and he is indeed not an ordinary person.

After the doorman Su Man introduced the door, Su Man found that the tea boy was very strange.

Looking at the dark clothes worn by the tea boy, his figure looked quite thin, but he had a delicate mask on his face, and others couldn't get a glimpse of what was under this mask from other angles.

This made Man feel a little surprised, and he didn't know what this tea boy thought, he actually wore such an airtight mask, and he felt uncomfortable looking at it.

I only heard the muffled voice of the tea boy coming from behind the mask, and said to Su Man, "Sit." ”

When Su Man heard this, he immediately found a seat and sat obediently

Next, a few maids next to him immediately made a cup of tea for Su Man.

Su Man looked at this tea, it is the Emei snow that Zhang An had told him before, to say that this Emei snow is the famous tea of Bashu, but the yield is very scarce, it is a very rare tea field on Emei Mountain in Bashu, and then mixed with the pure white ** fried on Emei Mountain, so it is called Emei Snow.

Although Su Man had heard of this tea before, it was the first time to drink it, and he slowly put this tea into his mouth, and he only felt that the fragrance of ** and the mellow aroma of the tea were fused together, and the mouth was surrounded by a sweet warmth.

It's really comfortable, as if the whole person is in nature.

Seeing Su Man's satisfied expression.
