After driving five miles, he finally caught up with the donkey. Xu Ping was tired like a dog, only inlet and no out.

Qiu Min helped Lao Yan to sit on the mound of dirt on the side of the road, glanced back at Xu Ping, his eyes were full of disdain, "If you are wise or weak, bah, I really don't know how many sins you will suffer if you go to Yanping with him?" ”

Lao Yantou smiled, "Miss Qiu, we should abide by the rules as subordinates and keep our mouths respectful." ”

Qiu Min glared, twisted his waist and turned to ignore the two.

Xu Ping sat down beside Lao Yan's head with a buttocks, and arched his hand and said, "Uncle Yan is more compassionate, and I can rely on you more in the future."

Lao Yantou hurriedly got up and clenched his fists, "What do you say?" The adults have killed the small ones, and you can call me Yan Wu in the future, don't shout uncles and uncles, so that outsiders feel that there are no rules. ”

Xu Ping waved his hand and said, "Hey, I don't have those poor and exquisite, I will still call you Uncle Yan in the future, as for this Qiu girl, ......, simply call Xiao Qiu."

Qiu Min turned around and stared at him with round eyes, "Phew, Xiao Qiu? It's so ugly, you dare! ”……

All the way to Tianjin, take a boat to Fuzhou, go ashore and travel 200 miles by land to Yanping.

Outside the city gate, the city gate officer led a few soldiers to bask in the sun lazily, and when they saw Xu Ping and his party, they didn't even raise their eyelids.

A soldier stepped forward to interrogate, Xu Ping issued an official document from the Ministry of Officials, and the soldier looked Xu Ping up and down, turned around to report. After reading the official document, the city gate official waved his hand to signal the three of them to wait first, and then turned around and entered the city.

This was an hour, during which Qiu Min couldn't help but whisper: "Pleats, right?" Come first and get off the horse, and then you will have your good fruit to eat. ”

Xu Ping's forehead was uplifted, and he was about to sneer at each other with his neck, but the city gate official walked from a distance from the city gate hole, arched his hand at Xu Ping, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and said: "Uh......, Lord Lao Xu has been waiting for a long time, and the prefect has important matters that he can't greet in person, so pass the word to let you enter the city by yourself, and then put the wine to catch the wind."

Seeing the disdain at the corner of his mouth, Xu Ping was furious in his heart and wanted to question loudly, but Yan Wu quietly tugged at his back.

Xu Ping took a long breath and said, "I know, but I'm new here, and I ask the Zunjia to send someone to lead the way."

When a soldier heard this, he smiled and said, "I'll lead the way for the adults."

"Are you idle and don't need to be an errand?" The city gate officer glanced back at the soldier, and the soldier immediately shrank his neck, took a step back and stopped squeaking.

The city gate official looked back at Xu Ping and said, "My lord, please forgive me for your duties, you can find the governor's mansion after you enter the city."

Xu Ping pursed his lips and looked at the city gate official with a smile, "Your Excellency is a conscientious person, I don't know the name of Gao, I will recommend it to the official another day." ”

The city gate official smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "I don't bother you with the recommendation, I forgot to tell the lord, the prefect Zhao is my cousin, by the way, the villain's surname is Cai Mingtao, you can remember it."

Xu Ping's forehead was bruised, and he nodded slowly, "Okay, I remember." ”…………

Qiu Min put down his chopsticks, put the food on the table, got up and crossed his hands on his waist, "Is this for people to eat, see the radish and cabbage, now the burp and fart are all radish flavors." ”

Xu Ping stiffened his neck, suddenly lowered his head again, and pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, "I also want to eat meat, what can I do if I don't have money?" You...... If you can't stand it, you can go back to Beijing, and I will not force you to stay. ”

Qiu Min's face turned crimson, "Phew, you should be this girl and rush to stick to you, if I hadn't promised Lord Yan, you would have been worthy of your stubborn donkey?" ”

Xu Ping raised his head, Mu Ran looked at her, "Since you can't go, then let's eat first, hey, why don't you post some money, let's eat meat at noon?" ”

Qiu Min: ".................."

…………………………

In the vegetable field in the backyard, Yan Wu carefully sprinkled rapeseed into the ditch to cover the soil. Qiu Min carried a bucket of water, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Uncle Yan, I'm wondering." Qiu Min put down the bucket and beat his waist with his right hand, "Does that little stubborn donkey have a pig brain?" ”

"Hey, girl."

"It's not that I'm scathing." Qiu Min wiped his sweat and said: "It's been half a month since you looked, and he hasn't done a reliable thing." Hehe, first the scribes and officials grinded foreign workers and fought against him passively; Later, people simply didn't come, and he directly mixed into a bare-bones general; What's even more odious is that not only does he not rectify discipline, but he ignores it, and eats and drinks with those people every day. ”

"yes." Yan Wu got up and poured a bowl of water on the ground, and said, "Could it be that the master really misjudged him?"

Qiu Min's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Master?" Is it Yan Ge? ”

Yan Wuyi was stunned, and then waved his hand again and again, "No, no, there are so many officials in the imperial court, how can everyone remember the cabinet guy, and even more so, he is only a seven-grade pusher." ”

Three days later, Qiu Min and Yan Wu went to the street to buy them, but were stopped by several scribes on the way.

"Miss Qiu and Fifth Master Yan are doing well." One of the scribes kept making a fuss and said, "Persuade Lord Xu not to go to my house, please do a small thing in the past two days and a big invitation for three days, and this little family foundation is about to be exhausted."

"Yes, Lord Xu is too good to eat, it cost me twenty taels in the past few days alone."

"The two of you are doing good deeds, please tell Lord Xu, we will go back to the house immediately, and we will never be passive and slack off." The rest of the scribes said.

Qiu Min and Yan Wu looked at each other, with a lot of knowledge, this kind of means of not being on the stage can also work, Qiu Min suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

In the lobby, the scribe and the official stood in the hall, Xu Ping glanced at the crowd and said: "Everyone heard clearly, Zhao Shuyi is responsible for loan litigation, Qian Shuren is responsible for civil disputes, Sun Shuyi is responsible for criminal litigation ......, Zhou Bantou is responsible for collecting evidence and evidence, and Li Bantou is responsible for verifying the authenticity of evidence...... I hope you and others will perform their duties, and if there is a mistake in any link, I will settle accounts with him." After a pause, he cleared his throat and said, "Do you understand?"

Everyone in the hall was in their hearts, and they responded in unison: "My subordinates understand."

Qiu Min and Yan Wu, who were eavesdropping behind the hall, couldn't stop nodding, Qiu Min secretly wondered in his heart, this is the assembly line operation that the kid talked about, it looks like that.

Yan Wu couldn't help but pinch his head, "Miss Qiu, I dare to assert that in less than ten days, the accumulation of more than ten years in Yanping will be swept away." ”

At noon, Zhao Wenhua, the prefect of Yanping, at the same time, commended Wen and his father-in-law Yan Song's stern words.
