At this time, all the officials stood up before they dared to look up.

Although they haven't seen these high-ranking princes and big shots, they can tell them apart by their clothes.

The one in the armor must be the eldest prince, the one in the python robe must be His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, the one in civil clothes must be Lord Chai, the dead eunuch with white face and beardless must be Eunuch Huang, as for the one with The woman covered with a light veil in a bamboo hat is undoubtedly Princess Nian'an.

Baby Nian'an is so pretty, with such fair skin, he can't get tanned, Wang Fugui will be so distressed to death.

The magistrate in his 50s stepped forward, smiled and clapped his hands and said,

"Your Highnesses have worked hard all the way, and the officials have already prepared a banquet in the mansion to clean up the dust for you."

"Is the post house ready?"

Wang Fugui asked.

They are on a business trip. According to the court regulations, they naturally have to live in a post house. They cannot live in the home of a local official, nor can they live in a hotel.

"It's all ready, the arrangements are in order, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied."

"That's good, let's go."

Several adults immediately led the way, and the team marched mightily towards the city.

Wang Fugui glanced at the general who was unwilling to kneel before, and after keeping his appearance firmly in his heart, he followed.

And that general, still with a livid face, followed at the end of the team.

In his eyes, there is no rebelliousness, only indignation and unspeakable grievances.

The team came all the way to the government office. Everyone got off their horses and went in with the two adults.

The banquet has indeed been arranged, and there are several rooms. In the largest room, it is natural to receive several important figures. The county guard and the magistrate will accompany them in person. As for their guards, they will be arranged in other rooms by other officials. Accompany the generals.

Among the group of big men who came here, the prince must be the one with the highest status, and among the two princes, the one with the highest status is naturally the eldest prince, so the eldest prince sat on the most central seat, and on his left, respectively It is the sixth prince and Princess Nian'an, and on the right is Master Chai and Eunuch Huang.

As for the two local gods, they could only sit down and accompany them cautiously.

"Your Highnesses have come all the way from afar, and it's really hard work. The two officials, I would like to offer you a toast."

The prefect and the county guard stood up and raised their glasses respectfully.

"Come, come, drink, thank you two adults for your hospitality, I am very grateful."

The others were very indifferent, but Wang Fugui was smiling and approachable, and seemed more enthusiastic than the two hosts.

The eldest prince is a general in the army, and he doesn't like official entertainment, and his status doesn't make him do it like other generals.

Chai Yuan has a clean sleeve and a haughty personality, and he doesn't want to deal with these two bureaucrats who look like old fritters. Eunuch Huang is a man from the palace, so he naturally has the aura of a family. A man like him can go wherever he wants. As long as you keep a straight face, everyone below will immediately kneel down.

Not to mention Nian An.

Therefore, in order not to be cold, Wang Fugui acted as a pistachio and was responsible for enlivening the atmosphere.

You can't all five of them eat with a straight face, that would be worse than killing the two of them.

During the dinner, Wang Fugui heard them talk a lot about the customs, anecdotes and historical allusions of Wuwei County.

In short, it was very lively, and the two of them were also very grateful to the sixth prince, fortunately they had him.

So approachable.

After the feast was full, Wang Fugui and others bid farewell to the two adults, and the curator of the post house led them to the post house.

It was already afternoon, but the weather was still very hot. After all, summer had arrived, and here was a desert climate. It was extremely hot during the day, and bitterly cold at night.

Standing at the gate of the government office, watching the long procession leave, the magistrate and the county guard both heaved a sigh of relief.

Sheriff Pound sighed,

"Liu Xin, tell me, what does the sixth prince mean? He is so enthusiastic about us, is he not planning to investigate us anymore? As long as we make him happy, they will leave tomorrow?"

The magistrate Liu Xin sneered and said,

"Hmph, Huang Kouer, he just wants to numb us. He is the prince and he is in charge of the household department. How can he be insensitive to money and food matters? He will definitely investigate.

Moreover, don't forget that this is the fiefdom of Duke Wuwei, and we still hold the money and grain that we have received from the fiefdom of Duke Wuwei in the past six years.

The daughter of Lord Wuwei sat next to us and didn't say a word the whole time. Don't you think this is abnormal?

The sixth prince, you have bad water in your stomach, just wait, even if you don't check today, you have to check tomorrow. "

Hearing this, Sheriff Pound sighed,

"Hey, tell me, it's been so many years, how can the daughter of Lord Wuwei just come back? It's more uncomfortable than killing me."

"Hmph, when it's time to kill you, you'll have to spit out as much fat as you want. This time, keeping your head is the most important thing. You can get the rest back later.

Besides, isn't the fake ledger already prepared? Let him check it out tomorrow, then give him the prepared money and food, return it to Princess Nian'an, and prepare some souvenirs for them. Just send them away. .

Anyway, there are so many in the ledger, and they don't know how many there really are.

Those who live high in the temple, how can they understand the ways of the people below us, it is not easy to trick them? "

The sheriff Pound, who has strong limbs and a simple mind, went on to say,

"Tell me, do you want to send them some gold and silver..."

"Are you crazy? Bribing the prince? Bribing the second rank official? How many heads do you have enough to chop off?

If Eunuch Huang is the only one coming, then you can just offer the gold and silver, it’s fine, but that’s the prince, that’s the official minister, that’s the princess, all of them are existences that can cut off our heads directly, you Take the initiative to hand over the knife?

Bribing them, what is the difference between you and directly bribing the emperor?

Their status is too high, they can no longer be bought with yellow and white things! "

The magistrate Liu Xin gave Pang De a helpless look, cursing in his heart, why did he work with such an idiot? If it wasn't for this guy's background in the capital, he could be a sheriff with his intelligence?

Pooh!

Pound nodded, gave a thumbs up, and boasted,

"It still has to be you. If it wasn't for you these years, I wouldn't be able to make so much money, and I wouldn't be able to honor my hometown in the capital."

"Hey, where is it? You and I help each other, support each other, and we all prosper. I have to use your family relationship to manage things in the capital."

Liu Xin looked deeply, sighed, and then instructed,

"For the loss of the real ledger, don't look into it for the next few days, so as not to startle the snake, after these people have left, we will find it again.

When the thief is found, I will skin him with my own hands! "
