The next day, the carriage was ready, and Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan had breakfast at the post station and were about to leave for Changhe County.

"It only takes one day to get to Changhe County, and we don't have to sleep in the wilderness at night."

Zhao Yunlan: "It's finally here." ”

Li Mingren nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go!"

"It feels like I'm hungry again." On the way, not long after setting off, Zhao Yunlan felt her stomach growling.

"There's pastry, pads." Li Mingren took out the pastries in the basket and said.

Zhao Yunlan shook her head: "I want to eat barbecue." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded, but she also knew that there would be no barbecue at this time, so she could only pick up the pastry and eat it tastelessly.

Li Mingren always felt that Yunlan was sick, compared with before, she always lacked sleep and was very able to eat now, Li Mingren remembered that Zhao Yunlan made a bowl of wontons and two buns and a small bowl of porridge in the morning, this is not just the reason for the hurry!

"When you get to Changhe County, let's ask a doctor to take a look!"

Zhao Yunlan: "Why do you want to ask for a doctor again, I'm not very good." It's just that it's too tiring to travel, so I ate more, and I didn't eat much at the government yesterday. ”

"Then it's a matter of asking for peace, let's go on the road for so long and let the doctor take a look." Li Mingren said firmly this time.

Zhao Yunlan: "Then go to Shiyang County and ask again, okay?" ”

"Okay, you can't shirk it anymore when you get to Shiyang County."

"Well, everyone will check the pulse when the time comes."

The husband and wife just talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they arrived in Changhe County.

He Wen was just about to enter the county seat with the carriage, but was stopped by someone. Li Hua saw this posture and hurriedly organized his own guards to protect the carriage in which the main family was sitting.

"This brother, don't worry, we are a subordinate of Lord Qin, sent to take over Lord Li, this is our token." The other party reported his home, and Li Hua didn't dare to relax his vigilance, so he stepped forward to check the sign, and there seemed to be no problem, so he returned to report to Li Mingren.

"Master, it was sent by Lord Qin."

Li Mingren lifted the curtain and looked at a group of people not far away before getting out of the carriage.

"Thank you, brothers." Li Mingren stepped forward and greeted politely.

The strong man at the head said: "Lord Li, this is what the small one should do, stay in Changhe County for one night today, and escort the adult to Shiyang County tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Li Mingren was no longer polite, turned around and got into the carriage and the group went to the post station in the city. This post station in Changhe County is not as good as that in Youzhou City, but with so many people watching, it is not easy for Li Mingren and his wife to change to an inn to live.

"It's okay, just stick with it all night." Zhao Yunlan patted the hard bed.

Chunxiang took out the mattress from the burden and put it on the mattress, so it was not so hard, because there were not enough people to do chores in this station, so He Wen and He Hua had already gone to the kitchen to boil hot water first.

After eating and washing, Zhao Yunlan was already sleepy, and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

The next day, a light rain fell in the sky, but Li Mingren still decided to continue on his journey, and Lord Qin was still waiting to return to Beijing to report on his work.

Originally, the Qin county order didn't have to wait for Li Mingren to come, but now that there is a mess in the north, Lord Qin still wants to ventilate with the new county magistrate, one is because there are people on his side who need Li Mingren to take care of him, and the other reason is that this ventilation is also the meaning of Zheng Governor's mansion.

Recently, there are still people in the capital who know about the recent movements in the north, and those who have children in their families who are elected officials have arranged a way to avoid the north as early as possible, and only people like Li Mingren who have no background and no backers will be sent over to temper. Like Lord Qin, he has a little relationship in his family, and it is because he has made a little name in Shiyang County that he has a reason to be transferred.

"Are you ready?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Li Mingren: "I don't know, my mind is a little empty, but my heart is very excited." ”

Zhao Yunlan was a little bottomless in her heart, she could imagine the danger, but she had come to this point, and she could only see the moves.

"Share the blessings and share the things." Zhao Yunlan held Li Mingren's hand and said softly.

Li Mingren shook Zhao Yunlan's hand back and nodded heavily.

Changhe County is only a day's journey from Shiyang County, and when the group arrived outside Shiyang County, it was already dark, and they saw a row of people standing outside the county gate, holding torches. Seeing the carriage coming, a line of people moved forward a few steps.

"Xiaguan Cao Yingfa has seen Master Li." The leader is the county of Shiyang County.

"Xiaguan Chen Yiqing has seen Master Li." Standing next to Cao Yingfa and talking was the chief secretary of the county government.

There was a group of people in the back who saluted together: "Meet Master Li." ”

Li Mingren got out of the car and accepted everyone's greetings, while Lord Qin's subordinates silently left from the side.

The gang of people from the county government escorted Li Mingren's family all the way to the county office, and Zhao Yunlan took his subordinates into the backyard first.

Li Mingren: "Everyone go back to rest as soon as possible, and then hand over the matter with your colleagues tomorrow, Cao Xiancheng, everyone will gather in the county hall tomorrow." ”

Cao Yingfa: "Yes." My lord has a good rest tonight, and if someone is not used to send someone to call, I will live in the house in front of me. ”

Li Mingren nodded, looked at the direction of Cao Yingfa's finger, glanced at everyone again, and turned around and took Ye Sheng in.

After entering the backyard of the county government, Li Mingren took off his guard and asked, "Master, I was quite majestic just now!" ”

Ye Sheng: "Master, you were very majestic just now. ”

Li Mingren knew that this was Ye Sheng's sycophancy, but it was very useful, as long as nothing went wrong.

When I walked to the main courtyard, I listened to a few maids chattering about the courtyard of the government.

Chunxiang: "The yard where the county master lives is really big. ”

He Hua: "Our lord is the county lord, this is our yard." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Flowers, pay attention to your words. ”

He Hua hurriedly covered her mouth: "If you lose your words, the slave and maid will punish yourself with thirty yuan." ”

Li Mingren came in with a smile: "There is no need for punishment, just hurry up and cook a bowl of noodles." We're finally here, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Simply clean up tonight, as long as you can live in someone. Tomorrow it's time to clean up. ”

Subordinates: "Yes." ”

He Hua didn't have to pay a penalty, she was happy again, and she went to the kitchen with a bang.

Li Hua took a step forward: "Master, Lord Qin's guards gave a message asking Master Qin to go to Lord Qin for a while." Head east to the third house. ”

Li Mingren understood, and looked at Zhao Yunlan: "Then I'll go and change into clean clothes first." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I'll clean it up first." ”

The noodles on He Hua's side were cooked quickly, and the couple's first meal when they came to Shiyang County was simply solved.

"I'll go out first."

Zhao Yunlan: "Bring more people." ”

Li Mingren nodded, and walked out, Li Hua arranged for a few brothers to follow behind and keep some distance from Li Mingren.

When I arrived at the house, there was no plaque on the door, and before Ye Sheng could knock on the door, the door was opened.

"Master Li, please come inside."

Li Mingren bowed slightly, and followed the person in. After a while, they arrived at the front hall, and at this moment a slender middle-aged man was standing in the center of the hall, his fingers twisting his beard from time to time. The temples are also a little white, and the whole person looks very vicissitudes, but the eyes are indeed very bright.

"Lord Qin." Li Mingren gave a salute first.

Qin Peng returned the salute: "Lord Li, please take a seat." Come and watch the tea. ”

After the two of them were seated, Qin Peng continued: "I'll make a long story short, you can go to the yamen tomorrow to find out about the situation in Shiyang County, the chief bookkeeper is a reliable person, and you have to be more restrained by Cao Yingfa." There is no big war in the north for the time being, and a small collision is certainly inevitable. General Cheng should also be more careful. The county government now has not much money in its account, and it took most of the money to build roads before, and there has been no war in the past few years, and there are many more people in the county.

I will leave early tomorrow morning, and Lao Zhuo of the post station will also ask Master Li to help take care of one or two. This person is sincere in his work, and he has not made any mistakes, but our county is poor, and there are no major events at the post station on weekdays, so he has always stayed in that position. I wanted to take him with me, but his ancestral home was here, and his parents were still there, so he politely declined my invitation. ”

Li Mingren: "Thank you Lord Qin for reminding me." ”

Lao Zhuo's matter, Li Mingren thought that as long as he didn't make a mistake, he would naturally not mess around. After a cup of tea, Li Mingren came out of the house.

"Send a souvenir, it's a thank you gift."

Li Hua: "Yes, sir." ”
