Ye Fu wrote a few letters and sent them to a few places.

Ji Cheng wore gray and green clothes, and Gu Hui saw off two jars of good wine outside the city.

"Alright, you'll be here."

Ye Fu took the wine and put it in the carriage, turned around and said to the two with a smile, "Thank you." ”

Gu Hui smiled lightly and stepped aside.

Ji Cheng walked over and said to Ye Fu: "Is the prime minister really not going to send someone to escort him?" Dangerous ...... along the way"

"Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. With them, I am safe, but at the same time, I am gone. It's a private visit to the microservice, to inspect the people's livelihood, I don't want to go anywhere, I see some things on the surface, it's too wasteful for me to go. ”

Ji Chengran and nodded.

"That Ji Cheng is here to wish the prime minister a safe journey."

Ye Fu got into the carriage, lightly whipped at the horse's buttocks, and walked away.

"What does the prime minister want to do?"

"Only she knows."

Ye Fu drove for a few days, tired, and finally found a coachman in the town.

"Are you far from Anseong?"

Anseong, the central county town of Ru County, Ye Fu's next destination.

The coachman was a little clever, tall and thin, and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, this son, I will send you in three days." ”

"And how are you coming back?"

The coachman smiled: "It's not easy, when the time comes, I'll find a master who wants to come back, and I'll come back together for him." ”

"That's good." Ye Fu gave the silver from the carriage, and lay down in peace to make up for sleep.

The carriage is really tiring, and the poor technique can make you feel the protest and stubbornness of the internal organs, and it is sore and sore.

In three days, Ye Fu and the coachman stopped and stopped, and they were about to reach the boundary of Ancheng.

"I said, Childe, I see that you are not from the south, what are you doing all the way to Ancheng?"

"Make a deal."

The coachman smiled: "How can there be such a handsome businessman as you." Besides, the master who does business has a special fleet, and some time ago I heard that someone in Yancheng opened a private freight forward, and the business is good. Some of our lords here in Yeou County want to try it! ”

"Hey, really." Ye Fu agreed, with a little pride.

"I think this son looks like a person, is he going back to his hometown to find relatives?"

"It's not. I just thought about walking around the country. ”

"That boy is so guts!"

"How?"

"Don't look at the surface of Yuguo and the amiable, but everywhere you go, it's all rules. Take our Rujun as an example, Ancheng is the best, but there are many rules. Horses like us are not allowed to enter the city! But don't worry, Childe, I can deliver you safely to the gates of the city. A person like Childe, who is rich and elegant, will definitely be favored by the people of Ancheng. ”

Ye Fu opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, there was no one on the official road, and the scene of Xiao Suo was autumn.

Ye Fu stretched his head out slightly, and asked the coachman carefully: "What are you doing wrong, why don't you let you go into the city?" ”

"Alas, for several years, it has been said that people who are engaged in industrial and commercial agriculture are not allowed to be on the stage, which affects the atmosphere in the city. At the beginning, we also complained, thinking that it was clearly humiliating us, but the people of Jinjun were reasonable and interceding, what else could we do as a small people? The coachman smiled, with a hint of bitterness.

Ye Fu tightened the cushion on the side: "I often heard in the capital that Ru County is one of the top counties in Yu country, and it has done a good job in poetry, etiquette, customs and education, but I didn't expect it to be sacrificed for you." ”

"Alas, Childe don't have to be angry. We people in Rujun are used to it. Sometimes when I hear people from other counties praise us, my heart is also happy. ”

"Yes." Ye Fuyun continued lightly, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the car, "If, I said if, someone allows you all to enter the city on an equal footing to settle down and start a career, and you can walk around in the academy, but you may lose the past honor of the county, are you willing?" ”

"I don't know. The affairs of the official family, how dare we ordinary people comment on it. Jin Junshou is also very good to us, in times of drought will provide disaster relief and grain, and in good times, we will pay for the meager endowment, what do we want? Eh, you see there is a low house over there, which was built at the expense of the rich and noble families in the city. ”

It's already within the range of Anseong, and there's still a mile or two to go into the city.

This is the outskirts of the city, Ye Fu followed the coachman's instructions to look over, sure enough, there is a long walk of low houses, covered with green and quiet tiles, there is cooking smoke, is slowly rising to the sky.

"There, what's going on?"

"For the homeless, there are also some poor craftsmen."

"Well, there's a small academy on the other side, and it's also so reasonable."

Ye Fu pondered for a moment and said quietly: "It seems that Ancheng's parents are very thoughtful." ”

asked for achievements and statements, and also bought the people and people's hearts.

"It's good that Childe can think like this. A few days ago, I also drove a car for an old man, and when he heard about it, he scolded him! What else do you want to do for our little people? The coachman laughed, "That old man is really interesting." ”

"Hmm."

"How long will Childe stay in Anseong?"

"A few days, two or three months."

"Where is that boy going?"

"This ......" Ye Fu hesitated and did not answer.

The coachman seemed to realize that he was too talkative, and quickly explained: "The little one is too talkative." I just want to tell Gongzi that if you want to continue to go west and south, you must go to the Yamen and find a team of people to escort you away. ”

"Huh?"

The coachman shouted softly at the horse, and continued to reply: "Childe doesn't know, there are mountain passes ten miles west and south of Ancheng, and there are many bandits gathered, robbing the rich and noble people passing by, seeing that Childe has a lot of luggage on the car, I am worried about you." ”

Ye Fu smiled and apologized for his villain's heart: "That's it, thank you." But will the government send someone to protect me? ”

"Yes." The coachman was calm, and his words were sincere, "This is all the decree of Jin County, and he has protected many people in the past few years." As for the bandits, although they are bullies, they don't dare to go too far with the officers and soldiers, for fear of attracting the court's retaliation. Didn't I hear recently that a general had been sent to suppress bandits in various counties? Those bandits are going to be finished! ”

The general who will suppress the bandits, who will come?

Ye Fu excluded those individuals in the court, and could only think of Qin Qing.

It seems that the troubles in Yancheng have been solved perfectly, and he also has credit.

When he arrived at the gate tower of Ancheng City, the coachman jumped out of the car and smiled at Ye Fu: "Childe, the small one will be sent here." ”

"Okay, thank you all the way."

"Childe is polite."

The coachman is gone.

Ye Fu got out of the car, and sure enough, he saw the officers and soldiers who were checking in the city gate tower, and asked people to take out their identity certificates.

A few have been stopped and placed in the vicinity of the city to be guarded.

Ye Fu gave a customs clearance certificate, showed it to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and led the horse into the city.

As soon as he walked a hundred paces, he heard a sound of neat footsteps, calmly coming from the orderly street.

"I don't know if the prime minister is coming, and the next official Jin Ruo is missing."

Ye Fu looked at the team of people who appeared in front of him, the man led by him wore a jade crown, between his eyebrows and eyes, if the landscape was elegant, Confucianism, and the well-groomed ink blue official uniform was properly passed on his body, and he bowed his head and performed a standard subordinate official salute.

Ye Fu said indifferently: "Jin Jun is exempt from etiquette." ”

Jin Ruo raised his head, stretched out his hand to take the horse rope in Ye Fu's hand, and called a servant to lead him.

The people around looked at all this, and Ye Fu looked at the people around him.

All the surprise was well concealed by them, and they did not show it at all.

Even if there is a child babbling, it is silenced at this moment.

There was no shouting in the streets.

The government officials surrounded Ye Fu and Jin Ruoze in the center and walked slowly.

Everything seems to come naturally.

There is a passage ahead, which appears to be a street.

There was a little shouting inside, Ye Fu saw sugar gourds, bamboo windmills, fish, meat.

This should be a specialized shopping street.

In the ancient times of Ye Fu's cognition, there was also the concept of separation of the city.

At night, it is forbidden to buy and sell in the market.

The lights of Changle Street in Yujing City are bright, and it all depends on the grace of Yu Wuling before.

The pedestrians along the way were quiet, and there was no gossip.

Ye Fu was trying to say something to Jin Ruo on the side.

Suddenly, someone broke into the team of two people and rushed to Ye Fu, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and roared: "The grass people are wronged!" ”

Ye Fu stopped, and everyone also stopped.

Ye Fu didn't move, and asked softly: "Who are you?" ”

"It's not a talent in Xiabu, it's a talent in Ancheng County."

"What's the grievance?"

"The grass people want to sue Rujun County Shoujin Ruoze, hypocritical and vicious, abandon the laws of the Heavenly Principle King all over the place, and privately set up a law for entering and exiting the county town, and prevent the workers and peasants from entering the city to make a living!"

Ye Fu knew about it on the road, looked at Jin Ruoze, and smiled faintly: "Jin Junshou, what do you think?" ”

"But it's up to the prime minister to dispose of it."

Jin Ruoze's face was calm and fearless, even in the face of Ye Fu, with his head held high like a green pine.

"I'll investigate your grievances slowly."

Ye Fu accepted the paper, but the person who called the grievance grabbed her sleeve and said in a throat: "The grass people only have one life, and there is only this time to call the wrong, I hope the adults can remember, the grass people die without complaints!" ”

The corners of Ye Fu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he turned sideways to look at Jin Ruoze: "Jin Junshou, your people seem to be very afraid of you." ”

Jin Ruo didn't speak, but bowed his hand.

"Hehe, Jin Junshou, he won't be in danger, will he?"

"The lower officials are ashamed."

After the half-light and half-dark dialogue between the two, Ye Fu also saw the wronged person in front of him.

Scholarly appearance, green cloth clothes.

"Go home, and I'll give you an explanation."

I thought that everyone accepted this matter calmly, and there was no one to complain about grievances.

But now that there is, Ye Fu's Ancheng party can be regarded as having something to do.

It must not be difficult to find a balance between the injustice of scholars and the law of county observance.

On the way, Ye Fu picked up the words and chatted: "How did Jin Junshou know that I came to Ancheng?" ”

"The city gate guards got the customs clearance document from the prime minister and came to the official mansion to report."

Ye Fu calculated in his heart how many minutes he entered the city, and then calculated the half an hour it would take to walk from the city gate to the county guard's mansion, and he was clear.

"It seems that Jin Junshou is deeply hidden."

"Prime Minister......

"Hidden in the depths: deaf ears, clear eyes."

Someone is following him, and his whereabouts have long been leaked.

"The prime minister was tired of traveling and driving, and the lower officials prepared a banquet in the mansion to wash the dust for the prime minister."

"Then bother the Kim guard."

"What does the prime minister say. It is known that the prime minister has a good way of governing the country, and Yujing City, as a model city of Yu, is from your handwriting. Xia Guan still wants to learn more from you, Prime Minister. ”

"Governing the country is Your Majesty's business, and Yujing City is Jing Zhaoyin's territory, so I will only dance and write and lead a large group of literati to stir up peace." Ye Fu smiled, "Look, isn't this the prince coming back, he will please His Majesty more than me, and His Majesty sent me out?" ”

"The prime minister is too modest. His Majesty's appointment of the prime minister to walk the rivers and mountains is to accumulate disadvantages in Chen Qing and benefit the country and the people. ”

"Perhaps."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while. Ye Fu was going to go into the house to sleep for a while, and Jin Ruo went to tell the kitchen.

The banquet was arranged in the evening, and Ye Fu said that he just wanted to have a light meal, and did not invite any squire.

Jin Ruo responded one by one.

As soon as it was dark, the lanterns were hung up in the Golden Mansion, and the house was full of fire and warm and pleasant.

After Ye Fu washed, he was led to the dining room by his subordinates.

At the short dinner table, Ye Fu was welcomed to the top, while Jin Ruo sat down with a woman on the left.

"Prime Minister, this is the concubine of the lower official."

"The concubine is a concubine, and I have seen the prime minister." Yuan'er's skin was like condensation, round and cute, and she smiled at Ye Fu Jiaojiao, and then poured tea and wine.

The three of them sat down together, Jin Ruo raised his glass and said, "Please forgive me, the lower official likes Yuan'er and often eats at the same table with her, maybe she will come up today." ”

"It's okay."

Ye Fu looked at the respectful and loving two and smiled: "Jin Jun Shouzhen is a loving person." ”

The two of them raised their glasses and drank them all.

Ye Fu reminisced about the sweetness in the mouth, clouds.

It turned out that his preferences were really figured out by the people below, because of the rumors that Yu Wuling didn't drink, he finally went out, and she Ye Fu couldn't drink secretly if she wanted to.

Watching Jin Ruoze's wine glass dry and full, full and full, envy!

"Prime Minister Mo is not a drunkard?"

Jin Ruo didn't see it, but Yuan'er on the side covered her mouth and smiled, her voice was cute, and Ye Fu was not bored.

But in order to maintain some of his own personalities, he still decided to be full.

Yuan'er has been adding food and wine to Jin Ruoze on the side, and the happy scene does not feel that people are tired of being crooked, but gives birth to a bit of homely warmth.

"Hehe, Yuan'er is enough, I've drunk a whole pot of wine, and I'll let the prime minister see jokes when I'm drunk." Jin Ruo smiled lightly, but still drank the wine handed over by Yuan'er.

It seems that this county guard, who has the title of Qingtian Yama in the legend, is also affectionate and gentle.

Halfway through the meal, Ye Fu ate seven or eight points full.

A small servant came to the dining room, hurried, and his eyes were flustered: "Master, that scholar is crazy, and he is chasing him to the door of the mansion...... I'm cursing the Prime Minister! ”

Ye Fu was stunned, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and got up to go out to see.

Jin Ruo got up calmly, waved his hand to let the little guy retreat, and walked in front of Ye Fu: "This kind of person doesn't bother the prime minister, and the official went to send him away." ”

Ye Fu stretched out his hand to stop: "No, I want to see it in person." ”

"Hmmm......"
