Chapter 119
The Hangzhou government heard that the capital had appointed an imperial envoy to control the drought. Everyone thought that some great Beijing official would be sent down. Unexpectedly, the imperial court appointed a chief secretary of Xia County as an imperial envoy, which is really incomprehensible.

There are so many Beijing officials in the imperial court, there are as many fourth and fifth ranks, and there are also second and third ranks. No matter what happens, it will not be the turn of the boy named Su.

A mere ninth-rank official, what can he do?

Except for Meng Xiang, no official in the Hangzhou government could agree with Su Huan.

They were upset and uncomfortable. A ninth-rank official in the lower county under their jurisdiction had suddenly become an imperial envoy, and his title was bigger than anyone else.

The Tongzhi of Hangzhou Mansion was very unhappy to vacate a public house for Su Huan.

"I don't even know what the imperial court thinks. If he can cure this drought, I'll chop off his head and give him a kick."

"That's right, Master Tongzhi is right. A group of us can't cure the drought, and all the governments across the country can't do anything about it. What can he do even if he comes? I see, he is just a vegetarian."

"Your Majesty Tongzhi, you don't need to get angry, just let him come, and he will be driven away in the end. What kind of imperial envoy, the court will finally rely on us local officials."

"That's right, the imperial court just sent someone to show off, command blindly, and stabilize the people's hearts."

"Hmph!" Tong Zhi flicked his sleeves: "I just can't understand these people who eat vegetarian meals in corpses. They are shameless and disdain to be with them."

"Don't be angry."

Other officials reassured.

The next day, before Su Huan came to take office, the taunts from the government officials became even more absurd. Meng Xiang didn't bother to respond. Many people are like this, and they can't see people who are weaker than him come from behind.

A person came to the Hangzhou government this day, holding a document, which was mentioned in the previous official document, and this time he was the deputy who assisted the imperial envoy to cure the drought.

There are many people in the Hangzhou government who ridicule this deputy. The imperial envoys are all ninth-rank mung bean officials. How good can this deputy be?Everyone sees that it is a small official who is found from nowhere, or a wealthy family who entrusts the relationship to let the children of the family come out to experience and gain knowledge.

Pi Langzhong rode a horse to the Yamen of Hangzhou Mansion. He was wearing plain clothes.

"Bold, who are you, do you know where this is? Hurry up and leave." The official at the gate of the government office called Pi Langzhong.

Who is Pi Langzhong, a fifth-rank official, a Beijing official, he has never seen such a rubbish thing, he is too lazy to talk to the two dogs, and walks straight to the government office.

"Bold! We won't be polite if you come here again. Are you going to be punished?"

Another official shouted: "This is where the adults work. If you have any grievances, turn left and go to the nearby court hall to play the drum."

"Are you blind? I am an official here to take office." Pi Langzhong looked serious.

The two government officials were suspicious and took the letter of appointment from Pi Langzhong before letting Pi Langzhong in.

After Mr. Pi went in, he found Meng Xiang first, and had some vague words with Meng Xiang. Meng Xiang led Mr. Pi to the new public house, where he took the second seat and Su Huan the head.

Pi Langzhong was eager to see this Mr. Su who was mentioned repeatedly in the court, but he really didn't know if he had three heads and six arms.

It's a pity that Mr. Su is busy, so he hasn't come to take up his post until today.

Pi Langzhong had no choice but to give up and sit down in the office first. If Su Huan didn't come again in the next two days, he planned to go to Lin'an County to meet Su Huan in person.

Tongzhi and several officials passed by the new public house and saw that there were already people in the public house, so they went in to have a look.

They caught a glimpse of Su Huan during the last scientific examination. The person in the public house was obviously not Su Huan.

The strange thing is that this imperial envoy's deputy is not a young son who came out of the family to experience, but a middle-aged man with some years on his body.

From this point of view, he should be an official.

No matter how powerful officials are, they are officials after all, and they are not popular. They are incomparable with serious officials like them, and their status is very different.

"Are you Su Huan's deputy?" the governor asked, acting as the mouth of the acquaintance.

Letting Master Tongzhi talk to such officials will lower his status.

"It's up to you." Pi Langzhong knew at a glance that these people were not kind, and he didn't bother to reveal their identities, for fear of frightening these ignorant and mediocre officials.

"Oh, you know who I am, and you dare to talk to me like this." The governor felt ridiculous in the face of Mr. Pi's ignorance.

"Who are you?" Pi Langzhong asked. "Master Zhifu, or Master Tongzhi?"

In the face of officials, they are officials of high rank, naturally they are not polite. "I am the governor. You are a small official. You have worked in which mansion before. You haven't learned any rules. Did you talk to me like this?"

"Hahaha, Governor." Pi Langzhong smiled and said, "Nine-grade mung bean officer, how brave are you?"

The governor was blocked and couldn't say a word, so he pointed his finger at Dr. Pi. "you you you……"

"Could it be that you are still an official who has met a high-ranking official?" Mr. Tuiguan asked.

Everyone began to feel that this person acted so aggressively when he first came. Perhaps he was not so easy to bully. He might be the most powerful official in Shuntian Mansion.

However, it is not unreasonable.

"Who said I am an official?" Pi Langzhong said. "Don't think I'm easy to bully. Each one of you, get away as far as you can. I don't even bother to talk to you."

"Be nice, we can still have a nice talk, but you have a condescending attitude right from the start, who are you talking to?"

It turned out to be an official.

Now, the few officials who came to the public house paid attention to Pi Lang, and it was a Beijing official.

Even if it is a ninth-rank official in Beijing, the weight is equivalent to that of a sixth- and seventh-rank official in a place.

The governor was speechless for a moment. He wanted to show off in front of Lord Tongzhi, but unexpectedly kicked the iron plate. It seemed that this deputy had a lot of background.

Immediately, he became more polite and bowed to Master Pi: ​​"I don't know what your official position is?"

His gesture made Doctor Pi look down on him, and he sneered without any concealment: "I am Doctor Hubu."

amount……

The whole room fell silent in an instant, and a needle could be heard.

The weight of being a doctor in the Ministry of Finance, an official in the Sixth Ministry, and a Beijing official in the fifth rank is not too great.

Su Huan's deputy assigned by the imperial court was actually a fifth-rank official with a grandmother with a leg, so there was no reason for it.

Su Huan, Su Huan, who are you? Why does the court value you so much?

The officials in the room were even more unconvinced. They had never heard of Su Huan going to the capital. He just made some chili peppers and wrote a few poems.

"So it's Mr. Doctor. Hello, Mr. Doctor." The governor's face became even more flattering. "The lower official just now has eyes but no pearls. Don't blame Mr. Langzhong. The adults don't count the faults of villains."

"Ah."

"My lord, I am the magistrate of Hangzhou."

"Oh." Pi Lang dealt with it, he was not interested in these people, so he could only be perfunctory. "It turned out to be Master Tongzhi, but his eyesight was clumsy, so he didn't recognize him."

"It's okay, Master Langzhong has just arrived, we have to clean up the dust for Master Langzhong."

"It's easy to say." Pi Langzhong doesn't have any affection for these people who can turn their faces faster than a book. He is a Beijing official and has seen the world, so he doesn't care about them. .

"Pi has just come to your mansion, and he will work here in the future, and he will have to rely on the adults to take care of him." Pi Langzhong bowed his hands to Master Tongzhi.

"nature."

"Pi has just arrived and is tired."

"Then rest first. I'll take care of Brother Pi in the evening." Tongzhi led the people out of the office.

They couldn't figure out why Su Huan could get a fifth-rank Beijing official to be his deputy. Could it be that Su Huan couldn't be offended?
I can only stay at night to test Pi Lang's tone.
