The next day, when Yang Zongtai went to report to the government, he suddenly found himself in the focus of everyone! Not only the officials in the palace, but even the guards at the door of the government pointed at him, whispering something, and in the many eyes that looked at him, without exception, they were full of awe.

"Lord Yang, you are really hidden! actually attached to the relationship between the elder and the elder! ”

"Master Li, what are you talking about? I can't understand a word! ”

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he immediately froze in place, his face was full of doubts, and asked.

"Don't pretend, let's talk! When did you get into the relationship with the elder of the pavilion? If you are developed in the future, don't forget me. ”

"Am I on the relationship with the elders? Master Li, this joke can't be made! ”

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he hurriedly defended.

Immediately afterwards, I wanted to pull the future aside and ask him for the specific reason.

At this moment, Yang Zongtai's boss walked in with his hands behind his back, and his cold face, which had been cold, was now softened a lot, and he had a slight smile.

I saw that he turned his gaze to Yang Zongtai, and said with a pleasant face: "Please come over with this official, this official has something to explain to you." ”

"Yes, sir!"

After Yang Zongtai responded, he followed his footsteps and came to the place where he handled his daily official business.

"Come, sit, you're welcome!"

Yang Zongtai's boss pointed to the vacant seat on the side and said softly.

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing that the previously fierce boss has now become so pleasant, Yang Zongtai was not sure for a while, what kind of medicine this boss was selling in the gourd.

"He's not going to want to give me the hardest part of the job!"

When Yang Zongtai thought of this, he immediately sat upright, anxiously waiting for the boss's speech.

After a while, I saw Yang Zongtai's boss coughing lightly twice, and said slowly: "It's been really hard for you these days, and this official is also your duty, I hope you don't blame this official!" ”

"Where, my lord's words are serious, Xia Guan has benefited a lot since he served under you! I also learned a lot. ”

Yang Zongtai was completely confused by his boss's attitude, so he could only follow his meaning and compliment.

"Well, as long as you don't resent the official."

After Yang Zongtai's boss finished speaking, he immediately called his subordinates, and after whispering a few words in his ear, the subordinates left quickly.

When he returned, he still had a large burden in his hand.

"Your Excellency, what are you?"

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai had a bad premonition in his heart, and then asked.

"This is the silver that the official temporarily kept for you when you made a mistake before, and now it is returned to its original owner!"

After Yang Zongtai's boss finished speaking, he handed the burden to Yang Zongtai.

Yang Zongtai only glanced at it and knew that the amount of silver taels in the burden was far more than the amount of money he was punished!

"My lord, this is unacceptable! Xiaguan was a newcomer at that time, and thanks to your guidance, he was able to familiarize himself with the affairs of the palace, and speaking of which, Xiaguan has to thank you. ”

After Yang Zongtai finished speaking, he handed the burden back to his boss.

Seeing Yang Zongtai's resolute expression, his boss also gave up this idea, sighed, and said slowly: "The notice from the Ministry has come down, and you don't have to be on duty here from tomorrow." ”

"Excuse me, sir, where will the lower official go to serve next?"

After Yang Zongtai heard the news, he instantly shook his spirits, forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked.

"Your current rank and treatment remain the same, or go back to Quanzhou Mansion to be your magistrate!"

"What? Let me go back to Quanzhou and continue to work! ”

After hearing the news from his boss, Yang Zongtai was about to jump up excitedly, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the wish I made before has come true?" ”

And Yang Zongtai's boss didn't notice the expression on Yang Zongtai's face, but said to himself: "This official knows that this is difficult for you to accept, but this is the cabinet elder personally recommended you to His Majesty." ”

"Therefore, you have no room to refuse."

After Yang Zongtai's boss finished speaking, he immediately added.

When Yang Zongtai heard this, his originally excited heart suddenly became silent, and he confirmed to his boss: "My lord, you just said that I was personally recommended to His Majesty by the cabinet elder?" ”

"yes, don't you know? It's the head of the household who is high arched, and you are personally recommended to His Majesty! ”

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai's boss had a puzzled look on his face.

"My lord, the lower official ......"

Yang Zongtai's face was full of hesitation, and just as he was about to explain everything, he was interrupted by his boss's words.

I saw that he sighed helplessly, and a little flattery appeared on his face: "Can you intercede for this official on the side of the old Gao Ge, this official has been in this position for too long, and he wants to move in his dreams!" ”

"My lord, the lower officials don't know Gao Ge Lao!"

Yang Zongtai sighed helplessly and explained.

"Hmph, don't try to deceive this official, you don't know Gao Ge Lao, so how can he recommend you to His Majesty?"

"I see, you just have a grudge against your own official and don't want to help."

Hearing Yang Zongtai's refusal, his boss immediately said angrily.

However, he didn't dare to make threats like before, after all, the person in front of him was an old man, and he definitely couldn't be offended!

……

In this way, Yang Zongtai spent this day in all kinds of suffering, and everyone in the palace wanted to get into a relationship with him, so all kinds of compliments were like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, gushing endlessly, which was annoying! Yang Zongtai had never felt that time passed so slowly, and for him, every minute and every second was torture.

When it was time to get off duty, after bidding farewell to his colleagues, Yang Zongtai left the mansion at the fastest speed in his life without looking back.

As soon as he returned home, Yang Zongtai called his wife and announced the good news to her face.

"What? Can we go back to Quanzhou? ”

After hearing this, Yang Zongtai's wife was full of excitement on her face, and she confirmed again and again.

"Yes, the notice from the ministry has come down."

Yang Zongtai nodded and did not deny it.

"By the way, why did you suddenly transfer you back to Quanzhou?"

Yang Zongtai's wife said, pouring him a cup of hot tea.

"Alas, I don't know if I am a husband, it is said that it is the old Gao Gong of the Cabinet Pavilion in the capital, and I am recommended to His Majesty!"

"But I guess it's because of the fact that Quanzhou Port is about to reopen."

Yang Zongtai said, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.

"No matter what, this old man is really a great benefactor of our family!"

"If you continue to be this servant temple here, I have to worry about death!"

After Yang Zongtai's wife finished speaking, she seemed to recall the previous days of fear and fear, and her face was full of fear.

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai took his wife into his arms and comforted him softly: "Let's pack up our things tomorrow and leave this place!" Return to Quanzhou as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I'll listen to you."

Yang Zongtai's wife buried her face deep in her husband's chest and muttered.

……

"My lord, we've killed so many people, shouldn't we stop?"

In the room, Yan Maoqing's personal guard admonished.

"It's okay, this official naturally understands the proportions!"

Yan Maoqing waved his hand and said so.

"But my lord, the imperial court sent us to collect the salt tax, if we delay the business, I'm afraid we will ......"

Yan Maoqing's personal guard hesitated for a long time and said so.

"What the official is doing now is the right thing, and the official just wants to let these people understand the fate of doing something to the official!"

"The more people this official kills here, the easier it will be to collect the salt tax at that time, understand?"

Yan Maoqing patiently explained to his personal guard.

"My lord, please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying that there must be a limit to killing chickens and monkeys, if you continue to be implicated like this, I am afraid that it will cause public outrage at that time!"

Seeing this, Yan Maoqing's personal guards knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon."

Yan Maoqing ignored the admonition of the personal guard, but muttered to himself silently.
