Tong Bao has been depressed for the past two days.

The errand he originally wanted to seek was the prefect of Yangzhou, which was a first-class and one-tier land, and he would not change it for a governor. For this matter, he begged Tong Guowei for almost a year, but finally waited for Tong Guowei to agree, but he didn't think about it, but only gave a small Fengtian mansion. What is this? Although Fengtianfu is one level larger than the Yangzhou prefect and is an official title of the fourth grade, the difference between them is heaven and earth. If the prefect of Yangzhou eats meat, then Fengtianfu can only be regarded as a drinker of cold water at most. Moreover, even if there is someone in Fengtian Mansion Yin, at least let him know about Fengtian, right? The official position is at least larger, the grade is the same as that of Fengtianfu Yin, and although the scope of jurisdiction is smaller, he can interfere in everything...... However, no matter how much he complained, he didn't dare to send it to Tong Guowei, his cousin's temper was not very good, and I was afraid that he would not have to play in the future. Therefore, he had no choice but to come to Mukden with him.

However, after coming to Mukden, he was even more unhappy. I thought that with his identity, under the brand of being the cousin of Tong Guowei, the minister of power, everyone in Manchuria would treat him as a master, and even those princes who stayed behind would not dare to be unkind to him. However, not long after he arrived, he found that he was basically transparent, and no one bothered with him at all.

That Fengtian Mansion Yin Ferdinand, as soon as he returned to Fengtian, threw down a sentence of "self-convenience" and disappeared, which was simply unreasonable. However, it doesn't matter, people are now the emperor's favorite ministers, so let it go first, and talk about it when the time comes...... However, he had been in Mukden for many days, and no one had come to visit him. How can this make him embarrassed? Think that at the beginning, even when he was not an official, where did he go, he was not accompanied by the highest-ranking local official? Except...... Except for that time in Jiangsu, when the governor of Jiangsu, Yu Chengchan, ignored him, officials from all over the country, even the governor, only dared to be on an equal footing with him! …… Now, even if the Fengtian title is not high, there will always be a few lower titles, right?

He was really angry at the time. However, he also remembered what his cousin Tong Guowei said to him before he came: Be careful when you arrive in Mukden, don't be self-righteous. It seems that there is indeed a source for this statement. Well, since no one came to see him, he should go and meet them.

So, Tong Bao took his family members to meet the nobles of Fengtian one by one by their titles and official positions.

But who knows, just after meeting the Prince of the East and walking out of the palace gate, Ferdinand sent someone to find him, saying that there was something to discuss. Since this Lord Fei "finally remembered" himself, then go, but, who knows, when he arrived at Ferdinand's mansion, Ferdinand was not there...... And they all waited from noon until nightfall, and there was still no one to be seen.

He wanted to leave, but the hill-like Agudamu stopped at the door of the lobby, just wouldn't let him go out, and he had to wait until Ferdinand returned.

"Okay, okay, this official wants to see what the hell is he Ferdinand!" Agudamu seems to belong to the kind of die-hard faction, and he can't say it, so Tong Bao didn't dare to come hard, so he could only roar in the lobby of Prince Zheng's mansion. Seriously, he has grown so big, and he has taken advantage of the royal family, he has not been so angry.

"Hahaha, Master Tong, why did it happen so hot?" Old man Fei had just walked near the lobby when he heard Tong Bao's shout, and he felt slightly funny in his heart.

"Master Fei, you're finally back...... I didn't think you would come back! ......" finally met Old Man Fei, Tong Bao's stomach full of fire finally had a place to vent, and his words were full of fire.

"Hahaha, Fei is still very strong, it won't be a problem to live another thirty or forty years, Lord Tong is too worried......" Old man Fei laughed and walked into the lobby by himself, and Agudamu immediately walked straight and served a cup of tea. As a result, Tong Bao's eyes lit up, he had been here for so long, and Agudamu hadn't served him tea yet.

"Then I wish Lord Fei a long life and a hundred years old, but I don't know what Lord Fei means by forcibly keeping Tong here?" Tong Bao asked angrily.

"Oh, send someone to find Lord Tong, there is something to discuss......"

"Something to discuss? Lord Fei, what you said is light," Tong Bao became even more angry, "Then why did Tong come here, and you disappeared again, Lord Fei?" Could it be that this is Lord Fei, your 'business with something'? ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Lord Tong. Fei went to find Prince Jane, Prince Dong, and Prince Guo just now, as well as Admiral Sabu Susa...... Lord Tong is a newcomer, and he is not familiar with the place, originally Fei Someone wanted to take Master Tong to meet these Fengtian bigwigs, and discuss some things by the way, but ...... It's also my fault, I forgot to tell Lord Yang, let him tell Lord Tong you, forgive your sins, forgive your sins! Old man Fei squinted at Tong Bao and said with a smile.

"You ......" Tong Bao was so angry that he didn't know what to say. This Ferdinand put him under house arrest in disguise for a long time, and it actually became for his good? But when Old Man Fei said this, he really couldn't find anything wrong...... "Okay, Master Fei is really amazing, so does Tong still have to thank you for your kindness?" ”

"Hahaha, Lord Tong is polite, everyone is colleagues, so there is no need to ......"

"Good!" Tong Bao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and smiled fiercely: "Since Lord Fei has already discussed the matter with the princes and Satidu, can Tong someone retire?" ”

"Well, didn't I just say that? Lord Tong, I still have something to discuss with you...... "How could Old Man Fei let Tong Bao walk out of his house so easily?" Isn't that an enemy for nothing? It wasn't something he Ferdinand would do.

"Then I don't know what Master Fei wants to say?" Tong Bao smiled a little cruelly.

"I remember when I first returned to Fengtian, Fei asked Lord Tong to be responsible for the placement of the banner people, I don't know how you are doing now, Lord Tong? Are those flag men from the capital still obedient? Old man Fei put away the smiling face he was holding together, and asked with a straight face.

"This ......" is broken! This old man is here to ask for sin. Tong Bao had a "groan" in his heart...... How could he have been in charge of the placement of the bannermen? Fengtian, who came with a stomach full of resentment, has a lot of troubles for those banner people, how can he have the heart to care? It seems that since he arrived here, he has not met with the flag people who have returned to the tun...... This is a remiss of duty. Tong Bao secretly complained, was he going to be driven back by this old man Fei just after taking office? Returning to Tun is a major matter that Kangxi is also concerned about, if this Ferdinand plays seriously, Tong Guowei may not be able to protect him. He knew that this Ferdinand gang had dragged Isang'a, the squire of the Ministry of Works, who was attached to Tong Guowei, in front of Tong Guowei, to "hack" again, thinking that they would dare to mess around in front of Tong Guowei, wouldn't people be more bold here in Fengtian?

"Lord Tong?" Looking at Tong Bao seriously, Old Man Fei asked again.

"This ...... This, those flag people are okay, almost all of them have been settled, but, Lord Fei, you also know that there are inevitably some thorns in these people, and they are not easy to manage...... "Tong Bao is not a fool, and in a hurry, ambiguous words are not bad."

"Well, that's good. I don't know if the grain and farming tools have ever been in place? This is a major event related to next year's spring ploughing, Lord Tong, you have to worry about it......" Old man Fei asked again.

"This has been arranged, almost ready, it will definitely not delay next year's spring ploughing, don't ......worry, adults" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Old Man Fei's face, Tong Bao calmed down a little and said honestly.

"Hmmm! That's good......" Old man Fei smiled at Tong Bao, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "Lord Tong, I don't know what these people will plant next year?" ”

"Lord Fei's words are funny, didn't the imperial court give grain seeds? Or is it a list you set yourself......"

"Really? …… However, all those kinds of grain were taken to the city by these bannermen, ground into noodles and eaten......"

"Bang!"

Tong Bao shuddered and almost fell from his chair to the ground.

"Lord Tong, please give this official an explanation...... Why did the official let you look at these banner people, but these people ate all the grain? ......" Old Man Fei asked with a smile.

"This, this, this ......" Tong Bao was already covered in cold sweat. This is a big disaster! Looking at Ferdinand's posture, is he trying to do himself? If he said that he connived at these bannermen, with the current importance of this matter in the DPRK, it is estimated that it would not be a big deal to get himself exiled. That's it, it has to be his cousin Tong Guowei who tries his best to protect himself...... Otherwise, the consequences of not taking the country's major affairs seriously will ......

"Lord Tong, the official is still waiting!" Old man Fei was still smiling, but his smile was not much different from the evil ghost in hell in Tong Bao's eyes at the moment.

"Master Fei, can you spare me...... Xia Guan really doesn't know these things......" Tong Bao couldn't hold it anymore, and as soon as his legs bent, he knelt down in front of Old Man Fei, crying.

"Lord Tong, you don't know these things? But you just ......"

"Master Fei, Xia Guan was confused just now, and I am afraid that you will say that I am derelict in my duties, so I am talking nonsense...... I really don't know about those flag people, I really don't know...... "How dare Tong Bao be stubborn at this moment?" After all, dereliction of duty is better than dereliction of duty.

"Afraid that I will say that you are derelict in your duty? Lord Tong, I don't know someone so much. You are Tong Xiang's cousin, no matter how bold Fei someone is, how dare he take out a small crime of dereliction of duty to make people laugh? Old man Fei sighed and said.

"Master Fei, don't say it again, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't rely on the family situation to not take people seriously......"

"Is there one? Lord Tong, why didn't you take people seriously? How did I not know? ……”

"Huh?" Tong Bao was stunned, but saw Old Man Fei stretch out his hand and forcibly helped him up.

"It's not that I said you, Lord Tong, there are people in the family, it's better to have your own 'book'! The capital is sufficient, even if there is no one at home, you are still you? ……”

"Master Fei, the lower officials don't understand......" Seeing Old Man Fei's pleasant face, Tong Bao didn't know what to do for a while.

"Actually, I knew that Lord Tong didn't take the matter of the flag people back to Tun to heart. Therefore, Yang Zhongne has always been concerned about those banner people, but after all, Yang Zhongne is only a Han person, and those flag men will not listen to him...... Otherwise, there wouldn't be today. Old man Fei helped Tong Bao to the chair, sat down next to him, and continued: "But then again, Lord Tong, you are indeed at fault......

"This, Xia Guan knows that he is wrong...... Tong Bao no longer has any arrogance at this time, if Old Man Fei comes hard, he may also play a trick, but now Old Man Fei doesn't seem to want to embarrass him, but it makes him feel a little worried.

"Lord Tong, it's good that you know your mistake, and this official doesn't intend to blame you, let alone report the matter......"

"Xiaguan thanked Master Fei, you have a lot of ......" As soon as he heard that Old Man Fei didn't plan to settle accounts with himself, Tong Bao immediately came to his senses, and of course, he didn't forget to thank Old Man Fei.

"It's easy to say, it's just that, Lord Tong, this matter is not small after all, and it has to be remedied...... The official has thought of some solutions, but he needs your help, Lord Tong. ”

"Master Fei, even if you command, Tong Bao will not give up!"
