In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xing set off to Qishan County.

It just so happened that he was idle for the past two days, and by the way, he also wanted to meet Han Yebai, and then use the matter of the Ningshan bandits to brush up some favorability with him, so as to pave the way for recruiting him in the future.

Moreover, he now has the protection of the Divine Seal from being attacked and killed, and the Fu people have given him an extra life, which can be described as double protection in terms of security, so there is no need to worry.

For the convenience of his actions and to further ensure safety, he also brought Wang Meng and a seven-member militiaman, as well as two officials.

Gu Xing couldn't ride a horse, so he could only sit in a sedan chair, driven by a militiaman, Wang Meng rode in the sedan chair, and the rest of the people rode with him.

Gu Xing didn't need to be in a hurry like a canonized envoy, he was just idle, looking for something to do, and his progress was naturally much slower.

Shaking all the way, starting from the light of the day, until noon, I arrived at the foot of the county seat.

The city gate of Qishan County was repaired extremely high, and outside the city gate, a pass inspection was set up.

When the officers and soldiers inspecting saw that Gu Xing had brought the soldiers, they asked him to show the divine seal, and also asked their superiors to let them in.

The interior of the county is indeed much more prosperous than the township, and as soon as you enter, there are brick houses and shop stalls.

Most of the cottages are still thatched huts like the villages, and there are only one street with shops and stalls.

Gu Xing didn't want to buy anything, so he opened the curtain on the sedan chair and watched.

In fact, most of the things sold are no different from those in the village, all of them are snacks, clothes, daily necessities, jewelry, etc., but there are a few of them, which will sell panaceas, weapons and the like.

After walking on the street for about ten minutes, Gu Xing's sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the county office.

As soon as Gu Xing signaled, the official went to explain and asked for communication.

And he himself got off the sedan chair and looked up at the county office.

This county government can be described as quite magnificent, made of blue bricks, equipped with mahogany gates, three or five steps at the door, a stone lion on the left and right sides, a big drum on the left side, a plaque on the top, it is said that "the seven mountains of the government office" four words.

The county yamen is open, and you can see the corridor inside, and at the end there is another door, and inside is the interrogation court.

After a while, three or five people walked out of the county office, and the most central one was a man dressed in a gorgeous costume and beard, who looked about fifty years old.

Needless to say, this is the county honor.

Before he got closer, his kind laughter reached Gu Xing's ears.

"This is Brother Gu Xing?"

Gu Xing hurriedly bowed down and made a gesture, "It's the lower official." ”

The county lord gestured sideways, "Please come in." ”

Before coming, Gu Xing asked the officials, the county honorific name is Huai Zhengzhen, and he has been in the position of the county honorable for twenty years, and he is relatively kind.

Of course, Gu Xing knew that what the official saw was only superficial kindness.

In fact, if you can stay in the position of the county for 20 years, you must be an old fritter in officialdom.

This can be seen from the way he looked like he had seen his own son just now.

Gu Xing followed him into the county government and said, "I came rashly this time, there are many disturbances, and I hope that my lord Haihan will come." ”

"Huh! How can it be an interruption. ”

Huai Zhengzhen's tone was cordial and didn't show any trace of pretending, "Brother Gu can come, this official is very happy!" ”

Gu Xing didn't know what to say, so he answered and nodded.

Huai Zhengzhen didn't care much, he was still very happy, and said: "Brother Gu is really smart, the official only sent a canonization envoy yesterday, and today the elder brother came in person, which really makes the official happy." ”

The corners of Gu Xing's mouth twitched without a trace.

Seeing him like this, he must have felt that he had come this time to surrender to him?

Although the township lord was originally under the jurisdiction of the county zun, it may not be peaceful, after all, the county lord can't do anything to them for no reason...... In addition, the township lord has a militia in his hands, and if they fight each other, the county is a real headache.

That's why Huai Zhengzhen is particularly concerned about whether he is at peace.

Gu Xing was still thinking about how to answer his last sentence, and Huai Zhengzhen had already turned to a servant beside him and said, "Quick, this official is going to set up a banquet for Brother Gu, you go and prepare it." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The servant answered the call and ran off to do his errands.

"Ah...... This...... My lord, this is too much trouble, there is no need to do this. ”

Gu Xing was a little overwhelmed by this battle, he thought that he was just chatting and drinking tea when he came to visit this time, why was he going to set up a banquet?

"Eh, Brother Gu, you have been traveling for a long time, how can you take a break? If the official is not well entertained today, it will not be allowed to be passed on outside tomorrow to treat his subordinates harshly? ”

After this set, Gu Xing didn't know how to refuse.

Huai Zhengzhen's words, hiding needles in the cotton, on the one hand, show your hospitality, on the other hand, you can't accept it.

If I don't accept it, I am letting others say that I am harsh to my subordinates.

"Thank you, then, sir."

In the end, Gu Xing could only say this sentence.

Isn't it just a meal!

Is he afraid of eating? It's a banquet social!

But now, he's going to have to work hard to overcome it!

Greeting all the way, after a short time, Gu Xing was introduced into the lobby by him.

This is supposed to be a lobby for entertaining guests, with a main seat on it and two rows of empty seats and tables on either side.

After some politeness, Huai Zhengzhen took a seat in the main seat, and Gu Xing took the first seat on his right.

As soon as the two of them took their seats, the people served some snacks and tea, and the two chatted about some of the tea and snacks.

While chatting, before Gu Xing could mention Han Yebai, he heard Huai Zhengzhen say: "I heard that Brother Gu used to be the village chief in Hanjiazhai?" The main book here is also from Hanjiazhai, so why don't you call them to accompany you? ”

Gu Xing wanted to ask, "This person is Han Yebai", but after thinking about it, the person will come in a while, and he will naturally know when the time comes, so he said, "It's okay." ”

In a short time, people came.

The person who came was dressed in a cyan official uniform, about 1.75 meters tall, he looked weak, his delicate face had a bit of coldness that could not be hidden, and he was neither humble nor arrogant in his steps, quite stylish.

Looking at this move, combined with what Lin Jixia said, nine times out of ten it is Han Yebai.

"Your Excellency."

He bent down and saluted Huai Zhengzhen.

"Hey, quick, this is the Gu Township Master I told you, hurry up."

Righteousness and truth.

"Yes, sir."

Han Yebai turned to face Gu Xing, bent down and saluted: "In Xia Han Yebai, I have seen Master Gu." ”

Gu Xing was shocked.

He is Han Yebai!

Sure enough, the person is as good as his name suggests!

"Long admiration for the name of the white brother in the night."

Gu Xing hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

Han Yebai bowed again to show politeness.

"Everyone is a family, come, Yebai, sit down."

Huai Zhengzhen got up and gestured to the first position on his left.

"Master Xie."

Han Yebai signaled to him and Gu Xing in turn before slowly taking a seat.
