Chapter 402: Fellow Countrymen
Chen Yuan was surrounded by a group of respectful officials in front of him, like stars and moons, this feeling was the first time he had encountered it, no wonder everyone liked power.
Huang Qian, the commander of the Shandong capital, stepped forward first, smiled and said, "Wei Ninghou has been windy and dusty all the way, and the boat and car are tired, it is really hard. Humble Huang Qian, Zhang Hong and all the officials in Shandong greet Hou Ye."
Chen Yuan glanced at him, and saw that this Huang Qian was about forty years old, tall, bearded, and his eyes were a little small. After all, the magistrate, even if he bows down, that demeanor and temperament look really extraordinary.
Xuezheng Zhang is many years old, a typical literati image, with fine skin and white flesh, clear eyebrows and fine eyes.
It is said that there are a number of officials, but there are only a few people, and there are few high-grade officials, and even fewer local prefects, and low-level officials are not qualified to greet them.
"Hehe, there are a few officials in Shandong." Chen Yuan said casually.
Huang Qian was a little embarrassed, and said, "Master Hou forgives his sins, it's not that everyone deliberately neglected Master Hou, just because the former Lord Qincha that-this-"
"Huh?"
Gan Chun, the prefect of Texas, stepped forward and replied loudly: "Since Wei Ninghou asked, it is difficult for adults to answer, I will answer."
Chen Yuan saw that this person was born with a broad face and a dark face, and looked at him.
"Just because Li Qi insisted on going his own way, everyone was a little unsatisfactory, he dismissed the officials at will, our prefect, three have been recalled, two are still in prison, and there are still three to be joined."
Chen Yuan frowned, Li Qi was a gentleman on the surface, and he acted so extremely, no wonder he was unpopular.
"Is that so?" Chen Yuan looked at Huang Qian.
Huang Qian smiled bitterly, "Yes, many officials have been suspended by Master Li and cannot come."
As soon as Huang Qian finished speaking, many officials looked at Chen Yuan with blank eyes. Those officials who were dismissed or imprisoned had a great deal of friendship with them, and Wei Ninghou was a new person sent by His Majesty, and he could only hope that he would come to pardon everyone.
Chen said quietly: "Since there is a reason for the incident, it doesn't matter if you can't come, Benhou doesn't care."
The officials are dumbfounded, we don't want you to care, we want you to pardon the officials.
Huang Qian did not move like a mountain, and said, "Humble and lead all the officials to thank Hou Ye."
Zhang Hong smiled at Chen Yuan and said, "Master Hou has worked hard all the way, and the weather is cold, so don't stand here. Hou Ye, I have set up a wine banquet for Hou Ye to wash the dust for Hou Ye in the 'Dream Back Building, please change Hou Ye to the official sedan chair, and then drink happily and happily when you arrive at the place."
Chen Yuan said: "Benhou is ordered to inspect, just come and take a look, everyone doesn't have to be nervous, just keep their duties." Your Excellency has come to greet you in your busy schedule, and I am really scared. In fact, Ben Hou has been tired all the way, and he wants to rest most at this time, but he really doesn't want to work for you."
Xuezheng listened to it and said with a smile: "Master Hou, this 'dream back to the building is not far away, it has been decided, the delicacies have been prepared, if it is returned, it will cause a lot of waste."
Chen Yuan was still hesitating.
Zhang Hong said: "Lord Hou loves the people like a son, he doesn't like luxury, I admire him very much, today's banquet is a little bit of the local gentry's heart, and he didn't use a penny from the government, so you can rest assured."
I know that you don't dare to blatantly embezzle in front of me, but if you have a short mouth and a short hand, Chen Yuan can't shirk too much when he hears him say this. He also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of these officials. He smiled and said, "In that case, then it is time to work for you."
Seeing that Chen Yuan agreed, Zhang Hong happily led the way in front, introduced the customs of Shandong all the way, especially admired the style of study in Shandong, and went straight to the dream of returning to the building.
This 'Dream Back Building is the most high-end and most famous restaurant in Shandong, carved beams and paintings, magnificent, artistic conception and the top ten restaurants in the south of the Yangtze River are still some charm, but the corridor in the courtyard is nine songs, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, several small buildings in the courtyard are chic and exquisite, and the faint and elegant piano sound is heard from time to time.
It is said to be a restaurant, which is somewhat similar to a modern mountain villa.
After passing through two courtyards, the group turned a small bridge and flowing water along the path paved with white stones, and passed through a bamboo forest before seeing a small building. The slender and tall bamboo will hide the red small building in it, and the green bamboo is swaying, quiet and claustrophobic, which is refreshing and pleasant.
"I heard that Hou Ye was born in Jiangnan, so we deliberately chose this place, Hou Ye, how do you feel?"
Well, Chen Yuan in this life was indeed born in Jiangnan, Chen Yuan nodded and smiled: "Very good, ingenuity, ingenuity, ingenuity, if it weren't for the cold wind outside, Ben Hou would have thought he had returned to Jiangning."
"Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, you are also from Jiangning." Dongying prefect Yang Xu said.
"Oh?"
"The humble and the Hou Ye are not far away, and my children are also studying at Chongwen Academy." t.
"In this case, I have to call my lord uncle."
Yang Xu was shocked: "Don't dare, don't dare, be humble, it's not what it means to be humble."
Chen Yuan looked so old, his hair was gray, and he took his hand: "I know, it's just that I suddenly saw my fellow villagers, and I also sighed that it has nothing to do with your son's peers. Speaking of Jiang Ning, I unconsciously thought of my days in the academy, hehe, your son should be older than me." In ancient times, people who married many years earlier had sons who were almost forty years old.
"Yes, little Yang Qian, this year is three years old."
"And where is he now? Is it a sergeant?"
These chatters, Hou Ye has no pretense, and Yang Xu was moved to tears: "He is a Jinshi in Yongle for 17 years, and now he is a county magistrate in Bazhou, Sichuan."
"It's here, Master Hou, please."
While they were talking, Huang Qian and Zhang Hong invited Chen Yuan to take a seat, and with a wave of their hands, twelve dancing girls floated in and danced.
The dinner officially began.
At night, it was cold. There was almost no one outside, and a strong man wearing a hat quietly touched a courtyard, and he stood quietly for a while, and saw that no one knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and he dodged in, and the door closed immediately. Inside was a small room with two candles burning on the desk.
The man who opened the door said, "You're finally here."
The strong man's tone was a little stiff, and he said dryly: "Lord Liu, Jinyiwei has arrived, and Ding Xiaosi and them are being arrested everywhere, you are on an errand in the Yamen, you should know that we Jianghu people are most afraid of the limelight, and when you see me at this time, don't you push us into the fire pit?"
Lord Liu beckoned, called the strong man closer, and hummed, "Ding Xiaosi, they killed someone, they haven't left for so long, the Jinyi guards are like cats, do they want to kill us?"
"Ding Xiaosi fell in love with a woman, but the woman refused to go with him—"
"Idiot, give two silvers, what kind of goods are you looking for, Xi Zheng, don't forget, what we are doing is a job of losing our heads, Ding Xiaosi, this idiot, will not leave after killing someone, sooner or later he will be targeted by Jinyi Wei, we all have to finish playing, so, I called you here to ask you to make Ding Xiaosi disappear."
Xi Zheng was taken aback: "My lord, are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge and kill Ding Xiaosi?" Ding Xiaosi is my sworn brother, mixed in our way, if you hurt your brother, everyone will spit on him."
"Idiot, this is called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? That idiot, if he doesn't die, it's a disaster, today Wei Ninghou has arrested Lu Bo, and he must ask for an explanation for Li Qi's matter, how many of us will accompany Ding Xiaosi's idiot to bury?"
Xi coup d'état, who is Lu Bo? The proud protégé of the Xuezheng University, Wei Ninghou said that he would catch it, not to mention these people who could not see the light, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll go back and arrange it, and I will definitely let Ding Xiaosi disappear."
Master Liu smiled slightly and said, "Very good, you know the overall situation very well, as long as Ding Xiaosi is dead, there is no proof of death, and Hu Qi and Wang Liu can't stay, although they have already left, as long as they are found, they will be dealt with together." The court categorically can't investigate, at that time, hello, I'm hello, everyone, if you use the so-called righteousness of the rivers and lakes, then use all your family members to accompany the funeral!"
Xi Zheng was creepy, he had a bad premonition when he came, and he didn't expect to ask him to kill all his brothers.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have taken on such a job, Lord Liu, no matter what, there is no way for us to live?"
Lord Liu patted him on the shoulder: "Xi Zheng, what you said, take people's money, eliminate disasters for others, the days when you lick blood on the tip of the knife, you should have known the ending a long time ago, killed two pieces of silver, fled to the ends of the earth, and enjoyed wealth, this is a deal, and we will clean up the mess, but Ding Xiaosi didn't open his eyes, for a woman, he wanted to kill everyone." It's not that we're unkind, it's that he's unrighteous."
"Lord Liu, listening to you, why do I feel numb on my back? Uh, my lord, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lord Liu's pale face, Xi Zheng was very curious.
"Yes, your back is numb, we are staring at it."
Suddenly hearing a voice behind him, Xi Zheng was shocked, and immediately pulled out his knife to defend, but he didn't have time to react, and the two embroidered spring knives were already on his neck.
"Jin Yiwei?"
"Yes, knowledgeable." Yuan Bin laughed, "Lao Tzu was lucky, he walked around casually and caught two small shrimps."
"What did you say, my lord? I don't understand?" Lord Liu pretended to be innocent.
"You don't have to understand it now, you will understand it if you taste the methods of the Jinyi Guard." Yuan Bin smiled, clapped his hands, and ordered, "Take it back, let's see if the little shrimp can pull out the big fish."
Lord Liu's face was bloodless, and he murmured: "It's over, Chen Yuan's evil star, every time he comes to Shandong, there is a river of blood, as soon as he comes, I know it's over——"
