Except for a few squires, there are more ordinary people, and they gather at the gate of the county government just to see the new county magistrate and see what kind of person he is. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Get out of the way!" came a voice from the noisy crowd, and everyone looked back one after another, several people dressed as family members carried a gorgeous sedan chair, slowly walking through the crowd, and there was a thin middle-aged man next to him, who was constantly opening his mouth to let passers-by get out of the way.

The people on the road got out of the way one after another, for fear of colliding with this mysterious big man, and Roger and Sun Chengxuan did the same, retreating to the side and waiting for the sedan chair to walk over. However, when the sedan chair walked to Sun Chengxuan's side, it suddenly stopped, and a fat man with a fat head and big ears lifted the curtain from the sedan chair, stretched out his head, and said to Sun Chengxuan:

"Isn't this Boss Sun? How can you walk? Why don't you hire more subordinates for a big boss like you?"

Sun Chengxuan hugged his fists and said politely: "Where is Boss Zhu, Sun just opened a small inn, compared to Boss Zhu, Sun's inn is nothing!"

After the two chatted a few more words, Boss Zhu's sedan chair passed over first.

Roger was very puzzled on the side and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know him?"

"This person is the richest man in Kangling City, he made a fortune in his early years because of salt smuggling, and he did a lot of business, and now at least one-third of the industry in the entire Kangling City is opened by him!" Sun Chengxuan explained, "This person's surname is Zhu, and his single name is a leather character!"

"Vermilion, pigskin?" Roger laughed when he heard it, he didn't expect someone to take such a name. Sun Chengxuan was very embarrassed when he saw Roger reacting like this, and deliberately coughed.

After hearing Sun Chengxuan's cough, Roger immediately stopped laughing, and he also felt that it seemed a little bad to do this, so he looked at Sun Chengxuan with an apologetic face. After Sun Chengxuan saw his expression, he was instantly helpless, and said: "After you go in, don't talk, and don't make strange expressions!" He was afraid that Roger would do strange things and attract jokes, so he warned him here in advance.

Roger patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I'll be a dumb person when I go in!"

Seeing Roger's promise, Sun Chengxuan didn't say anything anymore, and strode in with him from the main gate of the county office.

But at this moment, a man dressed as a servant stopped them and said, "You two stop, the county government is not something you can enter casually!" After speaking, the servant looked at their dress and looked disdainful. They were dressed very ordinarily, without any outstanding features, they were all cheap clothes, and compared to the big people who came, they were all brightly dressed and wore precious jade bags, which was in stark contrast to Roger and the others, and it was no wonder that even the servants looked down on them.

Seeing that he was stopped by the servant, Sun Chengxuan did not panic, and slowly took out the invitation card from his arms and handed it to the servant. When the servant saw the invitation, his attitude changed instantly, and he became very respectful, and did not stop them again. In his opinion, all the people who can be invited by the county order are big shots, and they can't afford to mess with them.

After seeing that the servant didn't stop him, Sun Chengxuan took Roger and strode into the county office.

"This lord, that ......" The servant couldn't help but open his mouth to Sun Chengxuan, his eyes glancing at the mountains of gifts that were being pushed around him.

"Eh, I almost forgot this!" Sun Chengxuan said embarrassedly, he naturally knew what the servant was referring to, and said to Roger, "Xiaojie, don't you hand over the gift yet?"

Roger nodded, and handed the servant the ten catties of fruit wine he had been carrying in his hand. The fruit wine was packed in an opaque jar, and the servant couldn't see what was inside, so he took it in his hand and checked it, which was quite weighty, and he was immediately overjoyed, and secretly said, this old man is not good-looking, and he is dressed shabby, but the gift he gives is so valuable. He usually saw gold and silver tickets in boxes, and jars for the first time.

He suddenly became more respectful to Sun Chengxuan: "Master, please!" He made a gesture of invitation and invited Sun Chengxuan and Roger to enter the mansion.

At this moment, he didn't open the jar, and he didn't dare to open it, but if he knew that it was only filled with ten catties of liquor, he would probably faint. Sun Chengxuan's gift of a jar of "gold" was seen by a few people at the door, and it was passed on to ten in an instant, and it was ten to hundred, and it didn't take long for everyone in the county to hear about it, and those who didn't know Sun Chengxuan looked at Sun Chengxuan suspiciously, where did this local tyrant come from? People who knew Sun Chengxuan looked at Sun Chengxuan even more suspiciously, they didn't expect Sun Chengxuan to open a small inn, and he was so rich? Even, they were muttering in their hearts, or should they also open a shop next to the official road?

"Boss Sun is so low-key!" Zhu Pi, who was in front of the crowd, saw Sun Chengxuan and said, "Even I almost lost my eyes!" What he said about looking away naturally refers to the estimation of Sun Chengxuan's worth, when he came, he saw Sun Chengxuan walking over, dressed shabby, with only one attendant, and it was impossible to say anything about his worth.

Sun Chengxuan's face was full of helplessness, he could probably guess why everyone's attitude was like this, they mistakenly thought that they had given a pot of gold, for rich people, everyone couldn't help but want to please, that was human nature.

Sun Chengxuan can see it, it doesn't mean that Roger can see it, in his eyes, Sun Chengxuan's popularity is very good, and everyone is very respectful to Sun Chengxuan, which makes Roger admire Sun Chengxuan even more, he secretly said in his heart: "It is worthy of being the shopkeeper, and his reputation among the squires is so high!" He showed a look of admiration.

Seeing this, Sun Chengxuan couldn't cry or laugh, Roger knew what was in the jar, but he didn't know why everyone was kind to Sun Chengxuan.

"Everyone misunderstood, Sun is not a big boss!" Sun Chengxuan explained, but everyone looked at him with a smile, obviously not believing his explanation, and would rather believe that he was a big boss.

Sun Chengxuan said this, which made Roger even more admired, he didn't expect the shopkeeper to be such a humble person.

Seeing that things can't be explained clearly, Sun Chengxuan will no longer explain and let it go with the flow. Next, some local squires came over, and the entire county government inner courtyard was full of people, and people who knew each other were in a heap, chatting happily! During this period, some people came to chat with Sun Chengxuan, and it was obvious that they were all people who wanted to know Sun Chengxuan, and even in the sentences, they were all touted.

At this moment, three people walked out of the hall, a middle-aged man in the middle was oily, slightly rich, a pair of small eyes kept looking, hands behind his back, nodding and smiling, and the person on the right was as thin as a bone, dressed like a scholar, the only thing that did not match it was that the mustache on his face did not match the image of a scholar at all. The person on the left looks handsome, with a smooth and fair face, a cold and angular face, dark and deep eyes, a charming color, thick eyebrows, a tall nose, and a beautiful lip shape, all of which are showing nobility and elegance.

Just when everyone was talking, the bearded man spoke: "The county commander is coming, and you still don't come to salute?"

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking, and they all respectfully hugged their fists and said: "I've seen the county order!" They are not stupid, from the position of these three people, you can guess that it is the county order.

The small-eyed man smiled and said, "Fellow villagers don't have to be polite, this official is determined to be a good official since he was young, how do you say that?"

The bearded man reminded on the side: "My lord, if you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

"That's right, that's what I said, if you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes! When the new official takes office, he naturally wants to do good things for us in Kangling City, you don't have to be polite, our officials and the people are one family!" said the county magistrate.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Everyone flattered one after another, and they didn't know whether they were in charge of the people's decisions, but the government and the people were a family? They didn't dare to be a family, and every official said one thing and did another.

Hearing their flattery, the county magistrate was very happy and continued: "First, you don't want money, second, you don't want your life, third, you don't want officials, and fourth, you don't want your name! These four maxims are the rules of this official!"

"Kang Ling City has a blue sky master!"

"My lord, you come to Kangling City, that is the blessing of Kangling City!"

......

Roger was very depressed, these people have a set of flattering skills, and directly praised this county order as a blue sky.

However, the county magistrate didn't care about Roger's depression, his eyes were full of praise from others, and he was very happy.

"This official is not as good as the Qingtian Lord, this official is just a small county magistrate!" the county magistrate continued to speak.

"Adults are low-key!"

"That aphorism is really the adult's code of conduct, four don't be famous!"

......

Roger was even more depressed, no matter what the county magistrate said, these people could always flatter.

Then, the county order made a long speech, but no matter what the county order said, there were always people who could praise a sentence or two, and Roger could only be depressed over and over again for this phenomenon.

"Everyone, you must be hungry, since the banquet has been set up, the official won't say anything, everyone find a good position, let us not get drunk and not return!" the county magistrate finally spoke.

Everyone agreed, and each found a place to sit down. Roger followed Sun Chengxuan closely, wanting to find an inconspicuous position to sit down. But at this time, a servant muttered a few words in the ear of the county commander, the county commander's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and his small eyes quickly swept through the crowd, stopped on Sun Chengxuan, and said, "Boss Sun, there is a place here!"

His meaning was very obvious, he wanted Sun Chengxuan to sit with him. Hearing the county order speak, Sun Chengxuan was embarrassed to refuse and walked over with Roger.
