[Yongzheng x Nian Gengyao] overwhelmed the world

After a few days in Sichuan, Nian Gengyao probably understood what the woodcutter said that day, and also understood why the woodcutter only looked contemptuous when he heard that he was the new governor of Sichuan.

It turned out that this land of Sichuan and Shu was originally a rugged terrain, and few imperial officials visited here.In addition, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The successive governors of Sichuan either followed the old ways, did not seek meritorious deeds, and did not care about the people's livelihood;What's more, he cultivated a group of gangsters here, and he actually became the emperor of the country with peace of mind.

Nian Gengyao read a few files, and got so angry that he slammed the one in his hand to the ground with a "slap".

"My lord, why are you so angry?" He Cheng, the butler of the mansion, just opened the door and came in, and threw the file at his feet impartially.

"Look, can the common people not hate such an official?" Nian Gengyao punched the table with a look of hatred.

He Cheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Nian Gengyao spread out the paper, dipped the pen into the ink, and was about to write when he saw his distressed face, put down the pen and said, "What else can I do?"

He Cheng looked at his livid face, and said falteringly: "This, a slave can't say."

"There's nothing you can't say, but it's okay to say." Nian Gengyao casually picked up a file and flipped through it again.

"The owner of the rice shop on West Street, the shopkeeper of the jewelry store on East Street, and..." He Cheng pointed his fingers one by one.

Nian Gengyao interrupted him, full of doubts: "What do these people have to do with me?"

He Cheng patted his thigh, leaned closer and whispered: "Oh, of course it has something to do with it. They are one or two, and they are all waiting in line at the door now."

Nian Gengyao didn't understand what they wanted to do, so he asked, "They don't want to see me, do they?"

He Cheng quietly walked around to Nian Gengyao's side, and solemnly put away the files in his hand one by one.He dusted off the chair again, smiled flatteringly and helped Nian Gengyao to sit down, then poured a full cup of clear hot tea from the blue and white porcelain teapot and handed it to Nian Gengyao.

Nian Gengyao unhurriedly watched him finish all this, and finally He Cheng smiled and said in a low voice: "Of course they all came to look for you, you are their God of Wealth. In other words , The gold, silver and jewels they brought are enough for you to spend ten or eight years."

Nian Gengyao just took a sip of tea, and now it sprayed all over He Cheng's face.He casually picked up a pile of files and threw them all at He Cheng.He Cheng was in pain and shouted: "My lord, this is the rule left over from the previous predecessors, why are you making things difficult for the slave!"

Nian Gengyao thought about it carefully, and what He Cheng said was not unreasonable, and he really had no reason to take all his anger on him.

"Then go and tell them now that I will never accept gifts, and if you let me know, if they dare to give gifts to other adults, which adult below dares to accept gifts, see if I don't break their legs. "Nian Gengyao was so angry that He Cheng was so frightened that he scrambled and ran out.

"It seems that the difficulty of the road to Shu is indeed more difficult than going to the blue sky." Nian Gengyao sighed.

The next day, he changed into casual clothes early and ordered He Cheng to prepare his horse.Seeing that he was dressed in commoner clothes, He Cheng specifically told him not to have good horses but bad ones. He probably guessed his intentions and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, it would be more convenient for you to dress up and go with some of your entourage."

Nian Gengyao waved his hand and said, "I don't use your method here. How many good things can you get for an adult who brings his entourage to make unannounced visits?"

He Cheng hurriedly responded again: "Yes, yes, your lord is indeed wise and powerful, and he works with sincerity. It is really a blessing for us Sichuan people to have such a good official as your lord."

Nian Gengyao shook his head helplessly, and rode away.

Yinzhen has lived for 32 years, and this is the first time he has come to Sichuan.If he hadn't heard about Thirteenth Brother in Yongwang's Mansion that day, he would not have known that there was such a number one figure as Nian Gengyao in the court.

Although he was born as a civil servant, he was quite talented and learned, but he was also skilled in martial arts. He was a Jinshi in 39 years, and in just a few years, he even achieved the position of governor of Sichuan when he was less than [-] years old, and he was deeply trusted by Huang Ama.

"This person must be a useful talent in the future." Yinzhen thought to himself.

He brought his close relatives along with Ertai all the way to Sichuan and Sichuan under the name of merchants, but unfortunately when they hurried to the governor's office to ask for an interview, the people inside said that the new governor was very rude to these foreign businessmen. Not at all.

Now Yinzhen was in trouble, unless he had wings, he would not be able to fly into the governor's yamen no matter what.If there is trouble at that time, it will be even more difficult to steal chickens and lose money.

"Fourth Master, why don't we waste time at the gate of the yamen, go for a walk in the street, maybe we can meet." Ertai came up with an idea.

Although Yinzhen didn't believe that there was a chance to meet thousands of miles away, but at this point, he had already traveled all the way to Sichuan, so naturally he didn't want to return empty-handed, so he had to try everything.

Yinzhen was tired after walking for a day, Ertai pointed to the wonton stand beside him, and said with a smile to Yinzhen: "Fourth Master, why don't we eat a bowl of wontons and then go find it."

Yinzhen also thought about filling his stomach before thinking about other things, and immediately went to the wonton stall with Ertai.

Just as Yinzhen found an empty seat and sat down, he caught a glimpse of a thief next to him staring at a woman's purse.The woman was concentrating on talking to the people around her. The thief saw the right moment, stretched out his hand and grabbed the purse fiercely, then pulled the purse off lightly, and held it tightly in his hand.

The woman immediately shouted: "Come here, there is a thief, a thief stole my purse!"

Yinzhen wanted to draw his sword to help when he saw injustice, but Ertai stretched out his hand to hold him, and shook his head firmly at him.

Yinzhen had no choice but to sigh, who made it impossible for him to reveal his identity this time.

"Where is the little thief running!" There was a commotion in the crowd, and a vigorous figure appeared from nowhere, followed closely behind the little thief, desperately chasing after him.

"It's him!" Yinzhen yelled, and hurriedly chased him out.

Ertai was already confused, and he kept calling out from behind: "Fourth Master, it's dangerous, come back quickly!"

This brave young man is none other than Nian Gengyao, the governor who is oblivious to the people's sentiments.At this time, the little thief ran as fast as an arrow with his legs loose in front of him. Nian Gengyao followed closely behind, chasing after him, but behind him was a rich man who was out of breath.

Not long after, Nian Gengyao grabbed the thief by the back collar and forced him to hand over the purse he had stolen. At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the Yamen just arrived and turned the thief directly to the Yamen.

Nian Gengyao returned the purse to the original owner with a smile. The woman was crying with snot and tears. Seeing that she had lost it now, she immediately thanked him: "Thank you, my son, for your great kindness. I don't know how to repay you." .”

Nian Gengyao laughed it off: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."

After leaving the Yamen, Nian Gengyao became even more worried.

He has observed the sentiments of the people in the past few days, and he has a good understanding of the sufferings of the people. Although he did a good deed today, it has to be said that he is the governor's responsibility for such a thing to happen in broad daylight.

"Who is it—" Nian Gengyao suddenly stopped and roared.

No one should.

"Come out, I saw you just now. You have been with me for so long, and if you don't show up now, don't regret it in the future." Nian Gengyao smiled lightly.

"It's me." Yinzhen came out cautiously from behind the wall, scratching his head embarrassingly.

"Who are you and why have you been following me?" Nian Gengyao saw that he was a strange young man dressed as a rich businessman, so he couldn't help being wary.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to help you." Yinzhen looked at his face with firm eyes.

"Oh? Is there anything you can do to help me? Could it be that with your body, can you run faster than me?" Nian Gengyao carefully looked Yinzhen from head to toe.

"Catching thieves doesn't necessarily work as long as you run fast. Sometimes, you have to learn to use other forces." Yinzhen said proudly.

"So you called those officers and soldiers?" Nian Gengyao said, taking a few steps closer to him.

"That's right. Also, if it's about catching thieves, maybe I'm not as good as you, but if it's about hunting immediately, you may not be my opponent." Yinzhen's face was full of aggrieved, as if he was suspicious of Nian Gengyao's suspicion of him just now. very dissatisfied.

Nian Gengyao smiled shyly, and said, "We don't know each other. My surname is Nian. Just call me Shuangfeng."

Yinzhen thought to himself: "This kid is actually only called by his title. It seems that he intends to hide his true identity. Then why should I expose him too early and let myself be passive."

"Your Excellency?" Nian Gengyao asked.

Yinzhen cleared his throat and said seriously, "My surname is Yin and my name is Si, just call me Yin Si."

"Yin Si? You look like you come from a wealthy family, why do you have such a strange name?" Nian Gengyao asked in confusion.

"I am the fourth eldest in my family. My father said that a humble name is easy to support. This is how our family was called down according to the order." Yinzhen said clearly and logically. After all, Nian Gengyao was a fledgling boy, so he believed it without hesitation. he.

"This name is also very unique, fourth brother Yin, we will meet later." Nian Gengyao was about to leave after speaking.

Seeing that he was going to leave, Yinzhen was anxiously thinking about how to keep him, only to hear Ertai's anxious cry vaguely from the street: "Fourth Master, where are you, Fourth Master?"

Yinzhen made up his mind and hurriedly said to Nian Gengyao: "To tell you the truth, my father wants me to marry the daughter of his old employer. That woman is almost 50 years old with pock marks all over her face. Of course I don't want to. I had no choice but to sneak out of the house. My father sent an old housekeeper out to look for me. I stayed in the inn a few days ago and was unfortunately found by him. Today I escaped by luck. I wonder if you have a good place to take me in, Brother Shuangfeng .”

When Nian Gengyao was hesitating, Yinzhen hurriedly hid behind him: "That's the one who is looking for people everywhere on the street."

When Ertai saw Nian Gengyao, he asked from a distance, "Have you seen our fourth young master? It's the one in the portrait."

Nian Gengyao felt Yinzhen's heavy breathing behind him, couldn't help lowering his head and pursing his lips into a smile, then straightened his body and waved to Ertai with a serious face: "No, I haven't seen it before."
