Cui Pu and his entourage walked slowly all the way, and when they arrived at Sanlidi outside Guangzhou, they met a group of people.

"Governor Cui, you can be regarded as here, but let's wait!"

A pot-bellied man laughed and took the initiative to greet a group of people.

Cui Pu raised his eyebrows, and the man said: "I am the housekeeper of the Lingnan Five Mansions, and I learned that Governor Cui is going to take office in the near future, and I specially bring someone to wait for you here." ”

Such a lofty posture is said to be a greeting, but it is better to say that it is an interception.

However, if he is the chief steward of the Lingnan Five Mansions Economic and Strategic Envoy Family, his status is much higher than Cui Pu, and he is qualified to be high.

The current Lingnan Five Mansions Economic Envoy is the future Lingnan Festival Envoy, but the title has not been changed for the time being. Over the years, most of the officials in Lingnan have been Lingnan natives, and this envoy is a native of Lingnan, and his ancestors have lived here for generations. Over the years, the roots are deep and the power is great. To put it bluntly, this family is a tyrant in Lingnan, and Cui Pu must bow his head when he sees it.

But is this person in front of you?

Cui Pu returned the salute and smiled lightly: "Thank you, thank you, but I don't know which housekeeper you are in the palace?"

The housekeeper who was still arrogant and had a gracious face just now suddenly stiffened, and immediately straightened his face: "I am a butler, is this very important? I am here to greet you on behalf of the envoy of the five prefectures of Lingnan, this is the meaning of the envoy, is it possible that the prefect of Cui is still skeptical about this?"

"It's a little. Cui Pu bowed his head.

The butler's face was even more ugly.

Seeing this, the people who followed him also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. In the confusion, they pushed the butler to the back and hid his identity.

These people are all well-known figures in Guangzhou, but most of them are also in business. These people's posture is not as high as that of the housekeeper, but there is also a little contempt for Cui Pu's words. After saying a few words, they also had to intimidate him, such as 'Han and Hu people live together in Guangzhou Prefecture, Hu people are fierce, you have to be careful in the future', 'Now even there are thousands of Hu people living in the city of Guangzhou, one by one acting in an unruly manner, and still disobeying the discipline of the government, the previous prefect was helpless to deal with them, and now we are all looking forward to the new prefect to come and call the shots for us!'

Cui Pu listened to them one by one, and only kept a just right smile on his face, no matter what they said, he just nodded his head.

This group of people spoke dryly, but they didn't see any change in Cui Pu's expression, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts - this new prefect is so young, and the city government is so deep, it has reached the point where it will not change its color at any time?

Now, I'm afraid things won't be easy!

One by one, they were having a headache when they heard a clear neighing of horses coming from a distance.

Immediately, everyone smiled. One person even shouted: "The fifth master is here!"

Cui Pu also raised his eyes and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes galloping towards this side on a horse. When they arrived, the man tightened his reins and stopped the horse. Then he quickly rolled over and dismounted, threw the reins casually, and walked forward quickly.

"I'm late, please forgive me!"

Such a hearty posture is a little more arrogant than the initial strategy to make the housekeeper of the house.

"This is Gorou Jun, the envoy of the Chamberlain, but now we are used to calling him the Fifth Master. The squires hurriedly introduced to Cui Pu.

It turned out to be the son of the envoy of the Lingnan Five Mansions, no wonder he was so arrogant.

Cui Pu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Master Pei Wu also returned the salute, and then laughed and said: "I knew that the new prefect was going to arrive in the near future, and I kept asking people to keep an eye on this side, and warned them that as long as they found traces of the new prefect, they would report it immediately." As a result, who knew that I was eating and drinking with people today and missed the time. But as soon as I got the news, I immediately left the table and hurried over. The new prefect also asks for forgiveness for a late sin!"

"Fifth Master, you are so polite. When the government first arrived, someone spontaneously came to the city gate to greet him, which already gave the government enough face. To have Lang Jun from the mansion personally pick it up, that made the mansion even more overjoyed. And this house has just arrived, so you are not too late. Cui Pu responded politely.

Count him a little bit in the eye and can talk.

A flash of pride flashed in Pei Wu's eyes, but his face was still full of self-blame: "No matter what, it's too late! In this way, when you settle down today, I will be the master of the wine in Wei's Restaurant, and wash the dust for you!"

When Cui Pu heard this, he immediately smiled in his heart.

In the past ten years, Wei's restaurant has really been opened all over the country, and even Lingnan, a place where birds don't, has actually occupied a place for him!

But come to think of it, this restaurant seems to have some shares of its own?

But over the years, Wei Zhuang's restaurants have opened one after another, so many that I am afraid that Wei Zhuang can't count them, and he, the prefect, is busy with people's livelihood and economy every day, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to these. Every time, when Wei Zhuang sent someone over to deliver dividends, he just flipped through the account book to see the final amount.

"Then thank you Fifth Master!" Cui Pu hurriedly thanked him.

By the way, he also wanted to taste what the characteristics of Wei's Restaurant in Guangzhou could have. If it's delicious, I'll take Mu Kyaukjiao and the kids to enjoy it next time.

Seeing him so tricky, Master Pei Wu became even more proud, and hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and lead Cui Pu to the side of the mansion.

The people he brought with him also spontaneously went back, gesturing to help Hu San and them carry their luggage.

After walking less than fifty steps further, I saw a little guy running from behind in a hurry, and whispered something in the ear of Master Pei Wu.

Master Pei Wu frowned, then looked back, and then looked at Cui Pu without saying a word.

Cui Pu immediately stopped his horse: "What's the matter with the fifth master?"

Master Pei Wu also stopped, and sighed: "I am dissatisfied with the new prefect's business." In fact, before this, when I went to Pearl River Port to see the new goods, I was deceived by a kid. It's just that the kid is very shrewd, and he ran away after scamming me out of my money. Later, I sent people everywhere to look for him, but I found no trace of him. It's just that there is a lot of money, dozens of times, and I really can't swallow this breath, so I haven't let people look for it. As a result, who knows, we have been looking for a long time and have not found the person, but today we actually found that they were tied to the back of your team! Or the new prefect, you have the ability, and you just came to Guangzhou to arrest this group of people!"

"Yes, it turns out that the fifth master you were also deceived by them?" Cui Pu suddenly realized, and immediately put on a face full of righteous indignation, "Then they are really hateful." If you wait and see, I will punish them severely when I turn around, and give you a good vent! By the way, how do you want me to torture them? It is certainly not enough to parade in the streets, and it is also necessary to play boards, so let's also put a tiger chair and chili water! Afterwards, I will tattoo a thief word on their faces, so that everyone will know that they are thieves at first sight, and they will all stay away from them!"

He was planning with great interest here, and the face of Fifth Master Pei over there turned pale with fright.

"I don't need to use this!" he said dryly, shaking his lips.

"How can that be done? This group of people is really bold, and it is just a matter of using the name of this government to bully the people and make a lot of money, and they have actually bullied you the fifth master before, so we must not tolerate it! Who are you, the fifth master, and you are the Langjun born to the envoy of the Jingluo! If he dares to lie to you, it will be a deception of the envoy of the scripture! If you put it in Chang'an, it will be no different from the crime of defrauding the king. You know what will happen to the person who has committed the crime of defrauding the king, at least it will be a thousand cuts! However, when this mansion first came here, and saw that the fifth master was so benevolent, I would not be so cruel to him. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable! That is for sure!"

"I don't need to......"

Master Pei Wu's mind is now blank. Could it be that the tone of what he had just said was wrong, but he had tried his best to speak in an understated tone...... Of course, in order to emphasize the extent to which he was deceived, he still said that the amount of money was slightly larger. But that won't be a capital crime! Poor Jiurou has been hanging on the back of the carriage and parading the streets for half a month! This punishment is enough!

But for Cui Pu, it was not enough, especially after Master Pei Wu appeared, he felt that it was even more insufficient.

"Hey, Fifth Master, you are kind by nature, which really makes the lower officials admire. But you have to know that the more you indulge him in such a habitual offender, the more lawless he becomes. Do you want to let him go this time, and let him change from evil to good? That's impossible, he'll just think you're a fool...... Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm just talking about the common thinking of such people. Therefore, since the government has caught him this time, the government will not tolerate it, you just wait and see what happens to him!" Cui Pu continued to say solemnly.

Master Pei Wu's easy to think of words was choked back by his words - if he dares to mention that person now, wouldn't it confirm that he was a fool?

The housekeeper at the back couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly interjected: "Governor Cui, you are very reasonable. It's just that this person deceived the fifth master of my family first, so why don't you hand over the person to the fifth master of my family first? ”

"Yes, this method is good!" Master Pei Wu nodded hurriedly, and quietly sent a grateful look to the housekeeper - you still have a way!

Cui Pu listened, but his eyebrows tightened: "This is not good!"

"What's wrong with that? Are you still afraid that I will kill people?" Fifth Master Pei was much more relaxed now, so the two brothers patted Cui Pu's shoulder, "Governor Cui, you can rest assured." I'm measured. ”

Of course you have a sense of proportion, but I'm afraid that when you bring someone back, you won't be willing to do anything to him at all. They don't die, they just disappear!

Then, if you push two or six or five again, and you don't know anything, then the person who can't explain to the people will become me!

Cui Pu hurriedly smiled and said, "Fifth Master, your method is not bad. However, we also have an idea, why don't you listen to it?"

"Okay, you say. ”

"This government feels that since this person was caught by this government first, and this government is the prefect of Yangzhou, then people naturally have to be tried by this government first. When the government has finished hearing the case against which he defamed the reputation of the government, you will come and sue him again, and list all the evil forms and deeds he has done to you, and then the government will hand him over to you. Wouldn't it be better if you want to kill or chop up, and this government has an account for the people and you?"

Master Pei Wu's smiling face froze on his face like this.

The butler hurried to speak again. But Cui Pu took the first step and said: "Then it's decided! The Renben Mansion will take it away first, Fifth Master, remember to send someone to send the case when you turn around!"

Then he turned over his horse and waved his whip: "Drive!"

Walk away.
