Early the next morning, Xu He planned to go to Huibin Building to accept the two dishes that Qian Jizu tried to make.

But what I didn't expect was that the white servants in the county government came to Xu's house early in the morning to inform: "Master Xu, the county lord invites you to go to the county government this afternoon." ”

Xu He nodded, sent the people away and went to the city to Huibin Building.

As soon as the others arrived, Qian Jizu pulled him to the private room and personally served two dishes: "Xiaohe, come and taste it, it's just done!" ”

As soon as the two dishes were served on the table, Xu He was attracted by the chrysanthemum sea bass in front of him.

According to the record of "Fireworks", Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty commented on the sea bass: the so-called golden jade is also the best taste of the southeast;

The original taste of this dish is sweet and sour, the color is slightly yellow, quite elegant, crispy, tender and fresh, sweet and sour, and appetizing for the spleen.

After Qian Jizu's personal conditioning, the perch flower knife is like a chrysanthemum, and the flowers are very pretty.

Just looking at it makes you hungry.

Then Qian Jizu opened the lid on the side again, and said to Xu He with excitement on his face: "Xiaohe, let's not say anything else, your forty percent shares, Uncle Qian, I will give it willingly!" ”

As he spoke, a rich fragrance overflowed from the private room.

It's the Buddha jumping over the wall.

This soup, which is a combination of more than a dozen ingredients, tastes so delicious that it's no wonder that the Buddha jumped over the wall to taste it.

"Xiaohuchun's cook has come to Hailing, tonight, we must give them something nice to see!" Qian Jizu is full of confidence.

Xu He ate at Huibin Building at noon, and took the books he was carrying with him to read for a while.

When the time was almost up, he walked towards the county office.

As soon as he entered the second hall, Xu He saw his teacher and Uncle Xie sitting there talking.

Seeing Xu He coming, Li Zhijie motioned for him to sit down, then turned his head and continued to talk to Xie Kun.

"Kong Zongxian surrounded the seventy or eighty thieves again, and according to the leader, there were more than 1,000 thieves who robbed Taixing County this time."

Xie Kun's expression was grim: "In other words, there are still fish that have slipped through the net!" ”

Li Zhijie nodded: "It is said that after this gang of bandits was surrounded and suppressed by Kong Zongxian last time, there was a group of about 500 bandits who went to the direction of Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, and it is said that they wanted to detour from Jiangdu to Gaoyou Prefecture, and finally take Huai'an Mansion!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "If it is really as this thief said, then these people should have passed Jiangdu by now, and they have almost arrived at Huai'an Mansion!" ”

Xie Kun nodded: "Even so, we can't relax our vigilance, in case the thieves go south to kill a horse gun!" ”

"Well, you reminded me!" Li Zhijie replied in a deep voice.

The passage of bandits across the border was the matter of the governor's office of the five armies and the actual governors, governors, and Taoists.

But if the bandits break through the county seat, the county order will be held responsible.

These days, Li Zhijie is busy day and night, for fear that something will go wrong in Hailing County, and he is also afraid that there will be casualties among the people under his rule.

In case this situation really occurs, after three years of term, it will not matter if the evaluation of the officials is not good-looking, and there will be dismissals and seizures, and even more, Taixing County, who escaped a few days ago, has now been sent to Beijing and locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department!

Otherwise, how could he specially invite his friend Xie Kun, who is familiar with military affairs, to come and help with the staff?

Without him, I'm afraid!

The two planned for a while, and finally ended the topic.

Li Xian Ling Xu felt that the thief was far away, and the boulder pressing on his chest loosened slightly.

He smiled and Xu He said: "The Lu Butang of the Ministry of War passed by Hailing today, and we will rest here for one night, and I will prepare a banquet for the Lu Butang in the post house, you come with you and serve during the banquet!" ”

The service here is obviously not serving tea and pouring water.

This kind of work is naturally done by someone in the yamen.

Li Zhijie's so-called "serving" probably wants to take students to see the world and show their faces.

When you have the opportunity, you can also introduce your students to the big guy.

Of course, such opportunities are rare, and the big guy will not be interested in a teenager.

"Your uncle and Lu Butang are Jinshi in the same department, and I also specially invited your uncle to accompany you this time!" Li Zhijie just mentioned it in passing, he had more or less heard that his student was a child of a small sect in the Xu family, and he was not valued by the big sect.

Xu He was very grateful to Li Zhijie as a teacher.

Although he went, he was just a little transparent character.

But ministerial-level senior officials are not something that anyone can see casually.

Although I can't interject, I can see the world and see it for a long time.

However, his patriarch is indeed a bit of a cow, when he is the first assistant of the court, the secretary of the military department, and the governor of the five southeastern provinces are all his same year.

It's a pity, I don't know why he died early, otherwise he wouldn't have retired from the position of waiter now!

Xie Kun smiled at this time: "This Lu Butang can be regarded as Qin Yan's department with some real talents. ”

"Before the governor Xuanda and Shanxi local military affairs, he killed 18 grubs in the army who were greedy for military salaries, and the military discipline of the border army of Xuanda and Shanxi Biaoying was one of them, and the head of the Tatar department only led 30,000 people to enter the Kou the year before last, not only did not get any benefits, but was blocked in the pass by the governor of Lu, and more than 3,000 horses were broken in vain!"

When Xu He heard this, he couldn't help but look forward to tonight's meeting with this minister.

The three of them talked again, and there was a fast shift from the county government that followed Governor Lu's guard of honor to report that Governor Lu was not far from the canal wharf by boat!

When Li Zhijie heard this, he got up and straightened his clothes, and after waving his hand to let the man go down, he turned his head to Xie Kun and Xu He and said, "Let's go, let's go to the north gate to meet the villagers, and go to the dock to greet us!" ”

When the three of them arrived at the north gate, Xu He saw someone building a shed from a distance.

Sure enough, in the shed, there was Xu Song, the patriarch of the Xu family, and there were many Zhishi officials from the county talking around him.

And beside him, Xu Dai also sat with him, and behind them stood Xu Luan, as well as several children of the Xu family.

When Li Zhijie got off the sedan chair, Xu Song and the others hurriedly stood up, and the two sides saluted.

At this time, Xu Luan suddenly discovered that the annoying Xu He was also in the team of the county lord.

Taking advantage of the uncle's conversation with Li Zhijie, he whispered in his father's ear: "Then why is Xu He here?" He also deserves it on this occasion? ”

Xu Dai turned his eyes to look, and sure enough, Xu He was talking to Xie Kun, and he frowned: "Ah Fu villain, I thought that if I attached Li Zhijie, I would be proud in the clan!" Hum! ”

Xu He naturally noticed that the other party's gaze was not good, and he sneered in his heart: "It's really a narrow road!" ”

Li Xianling had a brief conversation with Xu Song, and the two groups converged and headed towards the canal wharf.

Soon after, as soon as everyone arrived at the pier, an official boat sailed on the river in the distance.

I saw two small flags standing on the official ship, one was [Soldiers] and the other was [Zhensu], and there was a large flag erected on the stern mast, which read "Governor of the Southeast".

The ship was surrounded by armored sergeants, their swords and spears swaying brightly in the setting sun.

When Xu He saw this style, he couldn't help but think of what Xiang Yu said back then: "The husband should be like this, and ......"
