Step by step, from the county lieutenant, to the magistrate, and then to the governor of Linshan Mansion, Sima Cen Ji, who finally sat on the Yin of Wupin Mansion, has been an official on the ground of Linshan Mansion for 12 years. And Fu Yin, as the head of a government, is also in his fifth year.

I didn't hear the news in advance that the imperial court would send a jiedu envoy to serve as the governor of the eight prefectures of Jiangnan Dongdao. It wasn't until the new Bafu Governor arrived at Linshan Mansion City and put out the honor guard of the three-rank civil officials that he hurriedly went to greet and bow.

But where did he think that the new governor of the Eight Mansions actually entered the State Guest House in the city first, and when he led the officials of the Hefu to arrive, only a person who looked like a housekeeper came out and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Inspector has been working hard for days and is feeling a little unwell, so I will not be a guest for the time being. Ladies and gentlemen, please come back. ”

For three days, once a day in the morning and in the afternoon, I received the same reply. It's been three days, and I haven't seen the shadow of the Inspector yet. I just found out that the new governor turned out to be the second son of Ning Zezhong, the right prime minister, and Ning Yunju, the envoy of the Shuntian Mansion.

It's so unexpected, it's really unexpected.

"Lord Sima, when did the imperial court appoint a military general to serve as the governor of the Eight Mansions?"

"Yes, Lord Sima, have you ever been reminded of Lord Jia, Prime Minister Zuo?"

Faced with the inquiries of the officials of the Hefu, Sima Cenji, who was nervous, wanted to know what was going on. Yes, why didn't Prime Minister Jia reveal a trace of news in advance?

Sima Cenji didn't believe that Jia Yi, the prime minister of Zuo, who was in charge of the ministry and the appointment of local officials in the imperial court, would not know in advance as one person and above ten thousand people.

"Colleagues, something happened suddenly, and according to the information that this official has received, this Inspector is different from others. is not only from the prestigious Ning family, but also a resolute person. Therefore, it is better for you colleagues to be mentally prepared. ”

When the scheming Sima Cenji was in charge of the lamp, he sat alone in the study in the back hall of the mansion and drank stuffy tea. was thinking about why the new governor Ning Yunju wanted to close the door to thank guests, but he saw the housekeeper Tong Can come to the door of the study and report in a low voice:

"Master, Master Zhan suddenly took someone to Shajing Lane. ”

"Huh?"

Sima Cen Ji didn't care at first, but in an instant, he put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table, and asked Tong Can, who wanted to speak and stopped:

"What are you going to do?!"

"I heard Xiao Er, who was injured and ran back, said that today they went to the vegetable market to collect money and smashed a showman's stall. When he was about to arrest Xiucai's nine-year-old daughter back to pay for it, he met a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. As a result, under the same look, the people brought by Xiao Er were all injured. ”

"What?!"

First, he was angry that his nephew Zhan Kongxi was still causing trouble for himself at this time, and second, he couldn't imagine that someone would dare to oppose him on the ground in Linshan Mansion.

Xiao Er also said that the young man was the one who scared Ma Qian and the others in Causeway City four years ago. ”

When Sima Cenji heard this, he grabbed the tea cup on the coffee table and threw it to the ground, stood up suddenly, but then hesitated again and sat back again.

"Go, go and call him back to me. and told him that he had been staying in the house honestly for a while and was not allowed to do anything. ”

"Yes. ”

"Come back. ”

"Sir?"

"Also, take some silver taels to compensate the Xiucai who was smashed in the stall. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

It's just that the housekeeper Tong Can left the mansion and just walked halfway to Shajing Lane, when he was confronted by more than a dozen servants, one left arm staggered and hung down at his side, and only one right arm was used to hold Zhan Kongxi's horse on his back, and more than a dozen of his subordinates who were obviously injured in both arms.

Zhan Kongxi, who had been walking around and around, hoping to meet an acquaintance in order to report to his uncle, saw the housekeeper Tong Can who was stunned in the middle of the street, but he couldn't speak, so he could only blink again and again.

Of course, Ma Qian also saw Tong Can, different from Zhan Kongxi on his back, although he was able to speak, he didn't dare because he was afraid. The others, whether it was the injured dozen or so subordinates, or those who caught fast, were just like Zhan Kongxi, and they could only look at Tong Can with a wink of his eyes.

Such a small action, how can it be hidden from Wu Zheng's eyes. However, Wu Zheng ignored them, and continued to follow behind everyone with Zou Rong unhurriedly, and walked towards the Linshan City Guest House.

Soon came to the State Guest House, and naturally someone wanted to come forward to interrogate.

"Come, stop. Jiangnan Dongdao Bafu Patrol Press Ning's car is here, and the idle people can not be disturbed, and leave quickly. ”

Hearing this, Wu Zheng took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and said to the deacon guarding the door of the State Guest House:

"Please inform the Inspector, Wu Zheng, the scholar of Linshan Mansion, asks to see you. ”

Without the slightest hesitation, and without the slightest need to make an announcement, the deacon immediately stood aside, and as he gave way to the passage, he said in a loud voice:

"Lord Wu, please come in. ”

Hey, it seems that I have already instructed my deacons. Could it be that Uncle Ning Yunju has been waiting for him to come?

Wu Zheng glanced back at the group of people behind him, and nodded slightly to Xiucai Zou Rong. And he said to the deacon,

"Leave these people in your care for the time being. ”

"It's okay, Lord Wu, please come in. ”

Wu Zheng raised his feet and walked into the guest house, and the deacon's shout came from behind him again.

"Come on, escort these people to the courtyard of the state guest house and take care of them carefully. ”

Hulala, there were no less than fifty people, carrying waist knives at their waists, pressing the handle of the knife with their hands, their movements were clean and neat, and people dressed as servants came out in response, surrounded Ma Qian and others, and then rushed into the courtyard of the guest house.

Seeing this, Wu Zheng couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth. I thought, it's still a military general. Where is the officer, depending on the skill, it must be a well-trained pro-soldier from the barracks.

No sooner had he stepped up the steps than the door was opened by two deacons standing on either side.

"Haha, Wu Xuezheng is finally here. ”

No, I was really waiting for myself on purpose.

"Wu Zheng greeted the Inspector. ”

"That's it, that's it, sit down and talk. ”

Through the bright candlelight in the room, Wu Zheng found that the smile on his uncle Ning Yunju's face was already full of strong family affection, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

"Lord Patrol, please forgive the sin of disturbing the officials at night. ”

Now that he has made up his mind, Wu Zheng naturally will not say that he will change.

"It's okay, I came to Linshan Mansion for three days, and I have been closed to thank guests just because I want a reason to do it. Wu Xuezheng's move was not only unexpected by the official, but also expected. ”

seems to be an ambiguous sentence, but it is equivalent to telling Wu Zheng: Don't act anymore, you are Wu Zheng from Wujiabao, who broke into Liufu in Shuntian City and Boye City at night.

After Ning Yunju finished speaking, he looked at Wu Zheng with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Wu Zheng to open his mouth to recognize him as his maternal uncle.
