Three days later, a team arrived at the foot of Lishan Mountain, led by several civil officials in brand-new official uniforms.

I saw that these civil officials with their guards drove to the top of the hill occupied by Shaofu, and they listened.

The first person said loudly: "Zhongshu Province Shangshu Cheng Bai Xiaolou, I have come to visit Lord Lin of Shaofu, and invite Lord Lin to come out and take over official business." ”

After hearing the sound, Marlowe was the first to run out of the camp, and when he saw Bai Xiaolou, he smiled and said, "It turned out that Lord Bai from Zhongshu Province had arrived, why didn't Lord Bai send someone to say hello first, so that the lower officials could greet him." ”

Bai Xiaolou said with a reserved face: "Lord Ma is polite, in terms of official position, he is only the third grade, and he is half a step lower than Lord Ma from the second grade, how dare you bother Lord Ma to greet him." ”

That being said, his tone and demeanor all showed a condescending look.

Ma Luo couldn't help but secretly complain, if it weren't for the fact that Zhongshu Province was responsible for assessing hundreds of officials, labor and management would be too lazy to serve you, but he said with a smile on his face: "Yes, Lord Bai has a bright future, and surpassing the lower officials is just around the corner." ”

Bai Xiaolou glanced at Ma Luo very usefully, and Fang said, "Okay, let's get down to business first, where is that Shaofu Lord?"

Ma Luo hurriedly replied: "Lord Bai wait a minute, the next official will go and ask Lord Lin to come out." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand, did not dare to slack off, and went all the way to the place where Lin Ze lived.

From afar, he shouted: "Lord Lin, the adults of Zhongshu Province have arrived and are waiting for you outside." ”

After shouting several times in succession, a bad old man staggered out and said, "Don't shout, my family is not here, I went out to practice martial arts early in the morning." ”

Ma Luo hurriedly asked, "Do you know where Lord Lin has gone? Can you send a message to him to rush back?" ”

The old man said angrily: "Poor Dao doesn't know where my family has gone, anyway, he will come back in half an hour at most, let them wait." Besides, the officials of Zhongshu Province, in addition to the prime minister and vice minister, are there any people who can be too big and too young?"

Ma Luo said eagerly: "That's not the same, the adults of Zhongshu Province usually represent the face of the prime minister, don't slack off." ”

The old man became more and more disdainful: "As far as Li Si is a sinister villain, what kind of face do you have?"

Marlow...... If there is such an arrogant servant in the world, is he not afraid of causing trouble to his master?

However, Marlowe didn't have any rut at all, waited in place for a few breaths and turned his head to leave, no matter what, first appease the people in Zhongshu Province.

......

"You said that no one is there?" At the gate, Bai Xiaolou, who was already a little impatient, turned completely black at this time, and said in a cold voice: "The dignified young mansion, you dare to leave your post without permission, it's too rampant." ”

But he didn't realize that he was even more presumptuous when he said such a thing.

Ma Luo felt bitter in his heart, and forced a smile: "Lord Bai will go in with the subordinate first to rest and rest, have a cup of tea, how about a while?"

Bai Xiaolou remembered that he was on official business, his face twitched, and he walked in without saying a word.

......

Half an hour later, a figure floated down from the sky in the courtyard, it was Lin Ze, who had returned from martial arts practice.

Just as he was about to step into his room, the old man who had been talking to Marlowe before spoke: "Sect Master, just now the man surnamed Ma came to look for you, saying that someone from Zhongshu Province has come and wants you to come over." ”

Lin Ze smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Senior Uncle Dongfang, I have told you many times, the teacher is still in the world, and it is not my turn to sit in the position of the sect master of Fang Immortal Dao." ”

The old man in front of him was Lin Ze who was fished out of the prison before, Xu Fu's junior brother, named Dongfang He, before being implicated by Xu Fu and imprisoned, served as the deputy of Qintian Prison, which is the so-called second-in-command.

After this old man was rescued by Lin Ze, he stuck to Lin Ze's side and called him the Sect Master of Fang Immortal Dao, but it gave Lin Ze a headache for a while.

Sure enough, Dongfang He said with a straight face: "Xu Fu is now a traitor to the sect, how can he be qualified to serve as the sect master? Is the sect master afraid that those elders will not support you? The sect master can rest assured, as long as there is an old man, they cannot be allowed to be presumptuous." ”

It didn't make sense, and he couldn't fight, so Lin Ze had no choice but to use the trick "Escape Technique", and hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi will take care of his body, and his nephew will go to meet the people from Zhongshu Province first." ”

I saw that as soon as Lin Ze finished speaking, the person ran away and disappeared.

Dongfang He looked at the direction Lin Ze left, and said to himself with a rare smile: "Boy, I can't imagine it, the more you don't want to be this sect master, the more elders will support you." ”

......

As soon as Lin Ze stepped into the living room, he heard a yin and yang strange voice and said: "The shelf of this new Shaofu is quite big, this official has not seen anyone for so long, is he deliberately looking down on my Zhongshu Province?"

Lin Ze's face turned dark, and he retorted: "Where did the dead eunuch come from, making a lot of nonsense here?"

As soon as Lin Ze spoke, he attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Marlowe saw him walk in, his eyes lit up, and he came over and said, "My lord, you are finally back, Lord Bai, they have been waiting for most of the hour." ”

Lin Ze glanced at Bai Xiaolou, who was sitting on the main seat, unmoved, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

At this time, Bai Xiaolou spoke first: "It's a big thing, Lord Shaofu is really good, but there is no one on urgent business, are you worthy of Your Majesty's attention?"

Lin Ze looked straight at Bai Xiaolou and said in a surprised tone, "Oh, who is this father-in-law?"

Only then did Bai Xiaolou understand who Lin Ze was scolding when he entered the door, and his face turned red and said: "Bai Xiaolou, the official in the book province, is not a eunuch in the palace. ”

The look of surprise on Lin Ze's face became even stronger: "Then how do you talk yin and yang?"

One sentence directly made Bai Xiaolou tremble angrily, and when Ma Luo saw this, he hurriedly said: "Lord Shaofu misunderstood, Lord Bai is really Shang Shucheng of Zhongshu Province." While giving Lin Ze a fierce look.

However, Lin Ze turned a blind eye and said coldly: "I don't know how many products Shang Shucheng is?"

Marlowe hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the third product." ”

"What about this official?" Lin Ze's voice remained unchanged.

Ma Luo's heart tightened, glanced at Bai Xiaolou, and under the suppression of Lin Ze's momentum, he smiled bitterly: "It's the second grade." ”

Lin Ze looked at Bai Xiaolou with cold eyes, and said coldly: "So, who gave you the courage to dare to call yourself an official in front of Shangguan without bowing to him?"

Bai Xiaolou just wanted to answer, but suddenly felt that his body sank, and a terrifying momentum pressed on him, making it difficult for him to move, and he looked at Lin Ze with an aggrieved face and said, "You." ”

Lin Ze shouted: "What are you, as an official of the imperial court, do you understand the rules or not, and you can't call Shangguan no matter what?"

"No matter how the prime minister connives, but when you come to the official, you have to teach you to obey the rules. ”

The momentum exuded was getting heavier and heavier, and the Taishi chair made of high-quality wood under Bai Xiaolou's buttocks was faintly overwhelmed.

Feeling the pressure on his shoulders getting heavier and heavier, and Lin Ze's resoluteness that refused to give up, Bai Xiaolou's face was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaguan Bai Xiaolou greets Lord Shaofu." ”

Having said that, the stronger the resentment in his eyes, the stronger he is, he Bai Xiaolou, born in the old aristocratic Bai family, has outstanding talent, and he is like a fish in water when he enters the officialdom, how can he ever suffer such humiliation?

Lin Ze suddenly retracted his momentum and said indifferently: "Is there anyone who sits and salutes the official?"

Xu is head had already lowered for the first time, Bai Xiaolou did not have an overreaction, got up and bowed.

Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What official business needs to be handled by this official?"

Bai Xiaolou had calmed down at the moment, as if nothing had happened, and said respectfully: "The first batch of laborers has arrived at the bottom of the mountain, please arrange for someone to receive it." ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly and said, "Lead the way ahead." ”

Then he turned to Marlo and said, "You go with this official, and you must get things done." ”

Bai Xiaolou walked to the front and led the way: "Your Excellency, please." ”

Lin Ze walked to Bai Xiaolou's side, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said faintly: "I don't care who sent you, if you really mess with me, you may die." ”

Bai Xiaolou's pupils shrank sharply, he glanced at Lin Ze with a face full of jealousy, and the little caution in his heart suddenly hesitated, in the face of such a ruthless person, should he retaliate?

There is also a strange thing about this matter, he was originally responsible for the assessment of officials in the nine provinces, why was he suddenly arranged to hand over the labor?

It's a good trick to borrow a knife to kill.

What Bai Xiaolou thought, Lin Ze couldn't guess, anyway, in his opinion, if someone hadn't instructed him, why would a third-grade Shang Shucheng show malice to him, a young man?

In order to prevent all cats and dogs from popping up, it is best to kill one by one.
