The next day, Chief Minister Yang Gong summoned masons and carved four lines of poems to warn all officials on the steles in the front yards of various yamen in Qingzhou.

From the prefect of Qingzhou to the ordinary officials, they can see these four lines of poems when they go in and out of the Yamen every day.

"What's written on it?"

"You eat and you eat, and the people are fat and the people are anointed. The people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully."

"Good poems. I haven't read the book, so I can only say one thing: Mother, it's really well written. It must have been written by our chief political envoy. Your lord is really an upright official."

"It's not the chief political envoy, but a man named Xu Qi'an, um, there is a small word beside it: Teacher Yang Gong. Oh, he is a student of our chief political envoy."

This poem was written by Xu Qi'an, so it was written by him, but Layman Ziyang had a trick, so he asked someone to carve three small characters on the left side of Xu Qi'an's name: Shi Yang Gong.

If the three great Confucian scholars of Yunlu Academy were present, they would vomit blood and growl: Shameless old thief, can this be done?

Many clean and honest officials were applauded because of this poem.Silently remembered the character Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an's name spread rapidly in Qingzhou official circles, and then many students and officials suddenly discovered that the person who mentioned the poems in the inscription was the great talent who wrote those poems that were said to be the light of the literary world 200 years ago.

The most jaw-dropping thing is that he is not a scholar, but a watchman.

But no matter whether they are Qingzhou officials or students, they are convinced by Xu Qi'an, admire his poetic talent, and even more admire the spirit expressed in his poems.

When the girls from Jiaofang Division heard the news, their chests were filled with excitement and excitement.All of them wished to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying that Xu Dacai would be lucky to them, and leave a poem or two.

Tell them to post back and they are all willing.

Outside Qingzhou City.

Layman Ziyang and a group of high-ranking officials from Qingzhou personally sent the governor's team out of the city.

"After this farewell, I don't know when and what month we will meet again. Teacher, take care." Xu Qi'an saluted as a disciple.

Layman Ziyang nodded slightly, a little embarrassed, just recognized a student, and was about to leave before his bosom warmed up.

"This time I'm going to Yunzhou, handle the case well, always keep in mind, serve the court, and serve the people of the world." Yang Gong said solemnly.

For the sake of the people of the world, Xu Qi'an repeated it silently in his heart.

A few days later, at the border of Qingzhou, the post station.

At two o'clock in the morning, after finishing breathing and visualizing, Xu Qi'an, who had not slept for seven days, walked out of the room with a candle.

It was late at night, and the interior of the inn was quiet. He walked along the corridor to the end, and then went downstairs along the stairs.

Beside the counter in the hall, an oil lamp was silently burning, and the postman was sleeping soundly on the table, with crystal liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The government-run inn is open 24 hours a day, and some officials will travel overnight because of urgent business, and it is uncertain when they will stay in the inn.

咚咚

Xu Qi'an lightly tapped the counter twice, making a dull sound.

The postman woke up startled, and stood up while wiping the corners of his mouth, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Give me a few envelopes and letter paper, I want to write a letter." Xu Qi'an asked.

The postman immediately took out a piece of letter paper and an envelope from the cabinet, Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Not enough."

"how much do you need?"

"Seven envelopes, the more paper the better."

It was the first time for the postman to see someone writing seven letters in one go. He muttered silently, and obediently handed over seven envelopes and letter paper.

After receiving the envelope and letter paper, Xu Qi'an turned and went upstairs and returned to the room.

He put the envelopes on the desk, took out the red lotus petals from the small jade mirror, pressed five petals on the five envelopes, then spread out the paper, pressed the paperweight, and ground the letters.
