Chapter 167: Tongji County Ya

The reason why Wang Jibao chose to live in such an inconspicuous inn is also because there are many people here, and it is easier to find out the news.

"Guest officer, please. It's just that the small shop is relatively small, for fear of snubbing a few guest officers. As soon as the shopkeeper looked at the clothes on Wang Jibao and Wang Palm, he knew that these two must be the young lady and son of a big family. I was afraid that the shopkeeper would not entertain him well, so he came out to greet him in person.

"That's where we passed by, and we came to rest. There are a few more rooms in your upper room here, and I've got them all. Wang Jibao held Xiao Shan in her hand and said to the store with a smile.

Xiao Shan is a divine beast that Wang Jibao must bring with him.

"There are also five upper rooms." The shopkeeper replied with his head down.

Although this lady is wearing men's clothes, she is also outstanding. The kind of nobility in her body makes people dare not look at it directly.

"Hmm. The rest of the rooms have to be picked well. We have a total of about 100 people this time. ”

"Then I'm afraid it's a bit crowded to live." Such a large amount of business was delivered to the door, and the store was naturally very happy. But it's really hard to live so many people at once.

"It's okay, you just try to arrange it." Those who follow her know that don't be so particular when you go out, it's good to eat and live.

But every time she went out, Wang Jibao would give them a large subsidy. This is also the reason why many people are willing to go out on business trips with her.

Wang Jibao asked for a few more upper rooms, which were also for the thirty royal guards.

When the royal guards go out on errands, they will not wear the armor uniformly issued by the imperial court unless they have to. They usually wear the same clothes as ordinary guards, so they are not conspicuous.

After all, they are not her people, and they can only be regarded as temporarily borrowed, and they will be returned to Emperor Yongsheng and Empress Dowager Jiang in the future. Therefore, you have to treat them better than your own people, and you can't be too casual.

"Okay, try to arrange the small ones as much as possible." The shopkeeper hurriedly replied.

"Hmm. That's good. You can get me some of your specialties and send them to the guest room, preferably with meat and vegetables. Prepare more hot, affordable food for my followers, preferably more meat dishes. Also, when it's cold, warm them up with a little wine, but not too much. ”

Everyone is running all the way, and they should be hungry.

"Yes, don't worry. We must ensure that everyone eats well, eats well, and drinks well. The shopkeeper hurriedly assured.

Wang Jibao then advised: "Besides, you don't need to deliver the food in person later." You can find a little two who are familiar with the local area. I still have something to ask. ”

"Well, the little ones will come as you tell them later. You go upstairs, please. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he led Wang Jibao and Wang Brown to the best room upstairs.

After Wang Jibao entered the door, she looked very clean and tidy, and she was quite satisfied.

So he nodded and said, "Shopkeeper, you go and eat Zhang Luo for the big guy." I'm afraid everyone is starving at this hour. ”

"Howler. The small ones will do it. After the store went out, he carefully closed the door to Wang Jibao and Wang Brown.

After Meijing finished doing something, she immediately took someone to replace all the things in the room with Wang Jibao and Wang Brown of their own.

After a while, the store sent a junior upstairs to bring them food.

"Little two." Waiting for the shopkeeper to put the food together, Wang Jibao said.

"If there is anything Miss wants to order, you just have to mention it." The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and replied.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to hear about your Fan Dayong Fan County Order, how about this person as an official?"

"This, a small flat-headed person is really not good to judge." The shopkeeper was afraid of causing trouble to himself and his family, so he didn't dare to say it clearly.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm just asking?" After Wang Jibao finished speaking, she motioned to Meijing to reward Xiao Er.

The beautiful scenery understood, and immediately took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into the small second-hand shop.

Meijing said while stuffing money: "You little two, you are not honest. If my master asks you anything, just say it. ”

The little second-hand took the money and said with a smile: "The little one can just say it." If you want to say that our Fan County Order, the people gave him a nickname called Rice Bucket. ”

Seeing that Wang Jibao did not show displeasure on her face, the shopkeeper was bold and told Fan Dayong that he had done nothing all these years, bullied men and women, and always collected harsh taxes under various names.

Since most of the things that the shopkeeper said were heard on the streets, it was inevitable that there would be a storytelling in it. So this has been said for a long time. In the end, Wang Jibao had to have people reheat the meal before filling her stomach with Wang Brown.

After she and Wang Brown had eaten, they took a break.

The guards she sent out came back one after another to report to her what Fan Dayong had done over the years.

Most of them are similar to what the shopkeeper said. Only some of them also inquired about another important person in Tongji County.

That person is Fan Dayong's current master, surnamed Fang.

In order to be this master, he gave his daughter to Fan Dayong, who was several years older than him, as a concubine.

Fan Dayong belongs to a brave and unscrupulous person, and many of his ideas are said to have been given by this master surnamed Fang. Master Fang can be said to be a typical person who acts as a tiger.

After the return of the guards, Wang Xibao had made a preliminary conclusion about Fan Dayong. In the next audit, she will never be soft.

In the afternoon, Wang Xibao sent people to the village below to find people to verify the tax situation in the past few years. In addition, he sent people to monitor the granary, in case someone used his hands and feet to burn the granary, and someone came to destroy the corpse and destroy the miracle horse.

After a night's rest, early the next morning, Wang Jibao fished Wang Xiaofat out of his warm bed.

On this cold day, getting out of bed in the morning is really painful.

Wang Xiaofatzi was dazed and dazed, and was dragged by Wang Jibao to put on clothes.

Then the aunt and nephew asked Meijing to find the store to ask for some hot food and had breakfast.

After the rest of the people had also eaten breakfast, Wang Xibao set off in the direction of the county government with his bodyguard and thirty royal guards.

It was already snowing heavily in the sky, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground. The speed of their group was somewhat affected. But fortunately, the inn is not far from the county government.

Yongdu belongs to the southerly region of Dayong, and it is rare to see snow in winter, especially such a heavy snow. For a while, Wang Brown was particularly excited. From time to time, he would lift the curtains on either side of the carriage near his side and look out.

The snow scene is certainly beautiful, but Wang Jibao doesn't have much heart to appreciate it. She replaced Wang Yuxun, who was far away, worried.

It's cold and slippery, and it's snowing, and I don't know how much difficulty it will bring to Wang Yuxun's accounting.

Everything is just going to be safe.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel a little anxious.

I only hope that her affairs can end smoothly as soon as possible, so that she can return to Linbei Mansion as soon as possible to prepare for Wang Yuxun.

When I arrived at the county government office in Tongji County, I found that the government had not yet opened. Wang Jibao asked Meijing to take her county lord token and call the door.

In the scolding and scolding of the gatekeeper, the corner door on the side of the county government was opened.

"Who? If there is anything, I will talk about it when my county master comes back. After the yacha finished speaking, he looked at the beautiful scenery very unkindly.

Seeing that it was a beautiful girl in her twenties, her tone softened a little.

"Who are you? If you don't stay at home on a snowy day, what are you doing here? ”

Meijing didn't say much, and directly showed the county lord token made of fine copper by Wang Jibao's Internal Affairs Office in front of the gatekeeper.

"What is this?"

"The lord of Heshun Hou Mansion Bao County came to do an errand." The view replied loudly.

"Lord of Heshun Mansion?" Yacha asked in disbelief.

"Yes. Gather all the officials together quickly. My county lord still has important things to do. Hurry up. Meijing looked at the lazy appearance of the gatekeeper, and she couldn't wait to step forward and kick this person.

"Good, good, good. I'll go and call them. After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he panicked and called someone inside.

After a while, the officials gathered together slowly. Some people are still rubbing their eyes, and it seems that they haven't woken up. There were also a few red-faced, drunken faces. I don't know if these people just drank this morning, or if they drank all night.

Finally the officials made way for a person.

This person looks like he is in his forties, and he looks like he has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. Don't look at this person's appearance, but his clothes are quite expensive. Especially the fox fur he wore was worth some silver taels at a glance.

This man stood in front of Meijing and pouted and asked, "May I ask which one is the Lord of Baojun?" ”

"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to ask my lord? "What Meijing said was also quite unkind.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The question is, in such a small place, how could there be any treasure lord who came to condescend to the noble? I guess you're here to lie to us. The man asked, questioningly.

"Open your dog's eyes and take a look, this is my lord's token." After Meijing finished speaking, Wang Jibao's county lord token flashed in front of that person.

"The little one has eyes and no beads. The little one is here to lead a group of officials to see the lord of Baojun. That person saw that it was indeed Wang Jibao's county lord token, so he had to take a group of people to kneel down and worship.

"See Lord Bao!"

In fact, Master Fang had long known that Wang Jibao had come to Linbei Mansion, but he didn't expect her to come to them so soon. And what is she coming for at this time? It's not for the sake of auditing.

Before leaving, the magistrate of his family had already told him that if the new prefect sent someone to check the accounts, no matter who sent them, they had to find out by all means to make them unable to find out.

Wang Jibao slowly stepped forward from the crowd. He raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Who are you?" How dare you question the lord of this county? And it seems that you are still very dissatisfied with the lord of this county? ”

The man hurriedly said, "The little one doesn't dare." The little one just doesn't believe that this cold day, how could you condescend to come to our small county town. Who are the little ones you ask? The small one is the master of Tongji County. ”
