The most powerful minister in the world

Chapter 70 Entering the Yamen

Dancheng on Jiangnan West Road is not too far away from Hangzhou, the well-known West Lake. It only takes three hours to get there quickly, so it is naturally picturesque.

The most famous thing about Dancheng is the pear blossoms on the fifty-mile mountain road. The most valuable thing is the fine pear wine brewed from the pear blossoms. The court official also liked it, so he collected the best ten-mile pear blossoms to make imperial wine. .

Now that the winter snow has just melted, some buds are already emerging on the pear branches in warmer places.

Jingxi did not take the official route, which was a hardship. The governor of Jiangnan Road and more than thirty officials arrived in Dancheng early in the morning. They left the city twenty miles early in the morning to wait.

The governor of Jiangnan Province was a second-grade official. Although he was a foreign official, he was not as official as someone from the capital. However, he had been in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River for more than five years, and the oil and water here had made him round-headed and round-headed, showing his aura of wealth.

At that time, the left minister of the Ministry of War was defeated, and they could not sleep all night long, fearing that the man on the dragon throne would blame him. But when they heard that your majesty did not go into details, they thanked God and breathed a sigh of relief.

But I never thought that before I could take a few breaths, the letter of appointment of Jing Xi, the evil star of the two governors, would come down. Since the word of this holy decree spread throughout the government offices, many people have handed in their resignation papers. They are I heard that the second young master of the Jing family was arrogant and domineering, and could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. He might lose his head, so he ran away early.

Jingxi was already well-known, and his great military achievements were needless to say. Just as the second son of the Jing family, he had to be carefully served. What was the concept of the second son of the only first-class military marquis family in the South?

Just look at Quan as the heir apparent of a prince's family!

Do you think the local officials wouldn't be frightened when a young man like this takes charge of two departments?

Jingxi naturally knew that they had already gone out of the city to greet them, but he did not give them a chance to send favors. After sneaking into the city from the south gate, he went straight to the Yamen. The Yamen servant at the door saw Jingxi's extraordinary bearing and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: " May I ask, Master, what important matters come to the Yamen?"

Jingxi took out his belt card from his waist and said with a smile: "You are quite discerning. I see that your bottom plate is strong. Have you practiced?"

The yamen servant who wasn't here looked at his badge and said with a smile: "I've practiced, but I'm not good at it, but I still can't get close to three or five people."

After saying that, he lowered his head to look at the waist card. His eyes almost came out of his eyes. He stammered and pointed at the waist card and then at Jing Xi.

"Okay, let's find someone to set up the carriage and prepare three rooms. I'll be in charge soon."

The yamen officer quickly handed the badge back, wiped his sweat and said, "Please, Mr. Governor."

After Jingxi and his party entered the Yamen, the Yamen servant quickly grabbed his companions and shouted: "Go and invite all the gentlemen back, the Governor has already arrived at the Yamen!"

Jingxi stretched out as soon as he entered the yamen. He first asked the yamen servant to take Mu Sheng, Liu Huangying and Li Dongyang to find a place to stay with him. He himself sat directly on the desk in the hall, put his feet up and crossed his fingers. Enjoying it non-stop.

Lian'er pouted and walked over and scolded softly: "Sir, this is a government office. How can it be so unofficial and let those officials see it? How can it be said that our Jing family has no tutor and no etiquette!"

Jingxi patted his shoulders and closed his eyes and said, "They are nothing. They fought such a bastard fight. They deserve to be treated well by me. My shoulders are sore, please give me a squeeze."

Lan'er stamped her feet but walked over to Jingxi's back and gently relaxed his shoulders with her little hands.

Lan Tianying stood outside the door and said, "Second Young Master, I'm going to find a place to live first, preferably one close to you."

"Mr. Lan, you just have to act on your own."

Lan Tianying looked up and looked a little bored at the dragon carvings and painted buildings in the Yamen. He also sneered at the words "upright and bright" above Jingxi's head and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Sir, there is a sneaky person at the door who doesn't know what he is doing."

Jingxi opened his eyes slightly and glanced at him and said, "Who is it from the yamen? Come to the hall and talk."

The trembling middle-aged man at the door had a mole on his mouth, with a thick black hair on it. His face had a standard eyebrow and rat eyes, and even his front teeth were longer than others. At this time, he heard Jing Xi called him, trembled all over, walked in with her skirt lifted, took two steps and knelt down.

"Meet the Governor."

Jingxi asked directly without being polite: "What official position is it?"

"Returning to your lord, I am the master of the Dancheng government office. According to our Southern official position, I am an official of the sixth grade."

"What are you doing sneaking around at the door?"

The master's sweat dripped down, and he wiped it with his sleeve and said: "Return to your Majesty, I am... I heard that you arrived at the Yamen, and I wanted to see your heroic young man, but I am humble. I didn’t dare to ask directly to see him, so I had to wait and watch from a distance at the door.”

"Well~ Now that I've seen it, what do you think?"

Jingxi meant to tease him. Hearing him say all the compliments he had known in his life, he couldn't help but find it funny. He was a soft persimmon and was boring, so he cleared his throat and said, "I've been sitting for a while." For a while, I didn’t even take a sip of tea.”

"Sir, I'm going to go right now!"

After he was so busy that he almost tripped over the threshold and ran out, Jingxi held his stomach and laughed, raised his head and said to Lian'er, "Did you see that, you are such a coward, your young master is great, isn't he?"

Lian'er held his face with both hands from behind and said with a straight face: "Master, we are here to do business. If you treat everyone like this, who will be willing to work for you?"

Jingxi twisted his neck and retorted: "Come on, my wife's kindness, you girl, you still want to teach me a lesson, please be careful of the family rules."

"The young master doesn't like to hear it, so Lian'er won't say anything anymore, hum!"

Seeing Liang'er's angry look, Jingxi smiled slightly and said, "Look, I can't even say a few words about you. Liang'er is right. We have to treat these old fritters with kindness and power."

"It's good that the young master knows. Lian'er is afraid that the young master will let himself go after leaving the capital."

"Lian'er is the young master's good wife. You need to remind him more in the future."

Lan'er blushed slightly and said: "Lian'er is a maid, and the young master wants to make fun of her again. Humph, I'll go look for the yard Sister Mei found for us first."

It happened that at this time the master carrying water came in licking his face. Jingxi took the tea from the tea tray and said: "Have you seen this eldest sister? She is my personal maid, please find a few people to follow her and listen to her orders." .”

The master didn't dare to raise his eyes to look more, he just kept bending down to say yes. When Lan'er followed the Yamen servant, Jingxi didn't forget to slap her little buttocks, causing Lan'er to look back shyly and complaining. He glanced.
