Chapter 117: Governor Liu Chong
A living room in the Governor's Mansion.
Above the high hall, Yang Zhi and Zhang Zengshu sat firmly on it.
Yang Zhi put down the cup in his hand, looked at the civil official in front of him who left in a hurry and came in a hurry, and his tone was very calm:
"I wonder when we will see Liu Ducheng?"
The civil official glanced at Yang Zhi suspiciously, and when he saw that Zhang Ducheng didn't speak, the respect on his face became more and more flattering. Originally, he only regarded Yang Zhi as Zhang Ducheng's entourage, but when he stepped into the door, he saw Yang Zhi sitting firmly in the high hall, so he was naturally jealous.
The civil official wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly smiled:
"This lord, it's really unfortunate, Liu Ducheng went to the official school early this morning, I just sent someone to inform me quickly, I may have to trouble the two adults to wait a while. ”
Yang Zhi and Zhang Zengshu glanced at each other, tacitly.
Before, this civil official led the two into the mansion, and he had been going around in circles, as if he was deliberately delaying time, and the two of them didn't know how to poke him. They want to see what tricks this Liu Chong is going to play.
Finally, after waiting for another cup of tea, a subordinate walked in quickly at the door, whispered a few words to this civil official, and the restraint on the official's face was relaxed, and he smiled at the two of them:
"Two adults, Lord Ducheng just came back, but he is now discussing important matters with several tribal toasts, these northwest toasts are rude, do you think you have to wait a little longer?"
Tusi was the Austro-Hungarian Empire's general term for the chiefs of the northwestern tribes. Because of the extremely large number of alien tribes in the northwest, in order to facilitate the management of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there will be such a position.
"No need, it just so happens that I have always heard that the people of the Northwest Tusi are tall and brave, and they are good at fighting, as the governor of Nuoer Province, it is inevitable that they will have to deal with them in the future, and it is also good to be familiar with the temperament of these guys first. ”
Zhang Zengshu glanced at the civil official meaningfully, and had already stood up.
This time, the civil officials did not find any excuses, nor did they go around in circles, apparently receiving some instructions.
Around or in a garden, you can see an independent high-rise building, on which a golden plaque is clearly hung, the Governor's Pavilion. This is where the Governor's Office is located.
At this time, the gate was closed, and several heavily armed guards stood in the distance, and when they saw the three of them, they immediately stopped them:
"Stop coming, Lord Ducheng has an order, no one is allowed to approach, Lord Sima, don't let the small one be difficult. ”
"Bold, even the Governor's Mansion dares to stop you, are you impatient?"
Yang Zhi glanced at the civil official with deep meaning, this "bold" seemed to have ulterior motives, and Yang Zhi's ears moved, because he heard that the building, which was originally not moving, suddenly had a sound.
"Okay, those who don't know are not guilty, get out of the way. ”
Noticing Yang Zhitou's reassuring eyes, Zhang Zengshu ignored these people and walked inside.
Sure enough, the three of them pushed the door in, but suddenly heard an angry roar from behind the screen.
"Liu Ducheng, don't think that we are so fooled! We know that in some time, you will be able to become the governor of the Norr Province as a matter of course. I believe that as long as you go and talk to the people in the official school, these two places will definitely be available. ”
As he spoke, there was a "bang" from inside, as if some weapon had slashed over the table.
Yang Zhi and the two of them bypassed the screen, and they heard that directly facing the gate, on the second seat in the lobby, a handsome middle-aged man, wearing an imperial uniform, said righteously:
"Why am I fooling you, how can you take on such a heavy responsibility, Lord Governor's Mansion is on his way..."
There were also three large men in the room dressed in animal skins and silver ornaments, one of whom was extremely burly, with a brutal face, and his hair was even more strange, and his head was shaved bald all around, leaving only a handful of braids near the back of his head.
At this moment, the tall man was looking arrogant, showing a scimitar that cut off the corner of the table at the handsome man.
A few other people are not far behind, they are all full of recklessness and momentum!
Obviously, the two sides seem to be talking about something and the conversation has collapsed, which is a rhythm that does not agree to get started.
And the middle-aged man, who was still calm in the face of danger, seemed to have just discovered the three people who came in at this time, hurriedly got up from the second seat, trotted a few steps, and stepped forward to salute:
"You are the Lord of the Governor's Mansion, and the lower official Liu Chong will see the Lord of the Governor's Mansion. ”
After speaking, he turned back to those unruly Han Li and shouted:
"This is the new Governor, so don't hurry up and see it. ”
"Excuse me, Lord Liu, thanks to you, this Noor Province can be as orderly as it is now, and I will have to bother you to give me more guidance in the future. ”
If he didn't know Zhang Zengshu very well, Yang Zhi would have been deceived by the smile on his face, let alone Liu Chong, who was supported by him with both hands.
"My lord, what are you talking about, this is the duty of the lower officials. ”
Liu Chong had a polite smile on his face, and he looked down on this young governor in his heart, he was just a little tricky to make the young governor in front of him dig out his heart and lungs.
It is conceivable that the "dinner" he prepared for the governor's mansion next can make this newcomer realize the importance of his Liu Chong.
"Your Excellency, please take a seat. ”
Under Liu Chong's compliment, Zhang Zengshu sat on the main seat, but as soon as he sat down, his face showed a trace of undetectable strangeness.
Because the animal skin cushion under his ass is still warm, what does that mean?
This shows that not long ago, someone sat in this position.
And who here dares to sit in this position, it is not difficult to guess.
The hierarchy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was quite strict, and there was a set of rules for what kind of status and privileges, even after death, which was very similar to the feudal dynasty of ancient China.
In the case of an office such as the Governor's Cabinet, it does not mean that the person with the highest authority present can sit in the main seat and take his place, but that the main seat must be vacated to demonstrate the authority of the Governor's Office.
It seems that these butchers have a lot to do with this governor.
Thinking of all the things after coming in, Zhang Zengshu's eyes flashed, but he pretended not to know, and said curiously:
"What are you talking about?"
