Lin Ruhai came all the way to the Jixiang Building in a sedan chair, and frowned tightly when he saw the officers and soldiers standing outside the door.Fang De, who hurried down from the sedan chair at the back, knew that something was wrong when he saw Lin Ruhai's face, alas, he hit the gun again this time!The master is a no-brainer, he should know how disgusted he is towards the disturbing behavior of officials after seeing Master Lin's thunderous handling of Li Wu just now, why didn't he know how to withdraw the officers and soldiers outside?What he didn't expect was that even he was so frightened by Lin Ruhai that he forgot the east, west, south, north, and south. He tremblingly rejoiced in his heart that he had escaped the catastrophe. How could he remember the incident of the officers and soldiers outside the auspicious building? Where is Master Guang?The master is also pitiful, just now he was terrified by Lin Ruhai, and now he is being blamed by his master, he did so much preparation in advance just to claim credit, and now he is a little thankless for his efforts.

"Prefect Fang, what's going on?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, Fang De had no choice but to step forward, and said after deliberation: "This...your lord has a noble status. In order to prevent some ignorant people from disturbing your sensibility, I ordered someone to occupy this auspicious building. The officers and soldiers here are also in case someone makes a mess and it will be bad for your lord. Your lord bears the important task of the emperor's order, so you must not lose it!"

"Hmph, you can disturb the people if you bear the grace of the emperor? Since ancient times, the sages and sages ruled the world based on the people, and the people can be happy and the country can prosper. If you are rampant and disrupt the market like you, isn't this world chaotic? To make the world safe, you must first Save the common people, this is what the sage said, I heard that Mr. Fang was also born in the imperial examination, haven’t you read the sage’s book?” Lin Ruhai said lightly, but the words undoubtedly showed his extreme dissatisfaction with Fang De. shape.The caring people around also sighed in their hearts, Mr. Lin's words are so powerful!To say that Fang De has never read the books of sages is to say that he was in vain as an official of the court, and this has risen to the level of endangering the stability of the country. His official career has come to an end.Before Mr. Lin came to Jiangnan, the emperor gave Shang Fang the sword, which gave him the right to do things at his own expense, not to mention removing a magistrate from his official position, even killing him would be within his advantage.

These words fell into Fang De's ears with the effect of a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he could only kneel on the ground tremblingly and plead guilty again and again.Lin Ruhai knew that today was not the time to deal with Fang De, and it was not easy to keep the officials waiting, so she ordered Fang De to withdraw the officers and soldiers, and allowed the Jixiang Building to operate normally, leaving only a few people in the small courtyard where the officials were. , lest uninformed people break in by mistake.

There are 64 counties in five prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, including Suzhou, Yangzhou, Lujiang, Lingnan and Nanhai. Each prefecture has more than ten counties under its jurisdiction.Lin Ruhai is in charge of Jiangnan, and these local officials naturally want to see him.But after all, it was his first time here, and it would not be a short while for the others except the officials from the Suzhou government to arrive. Lin Ruhai had already issued an order to go to Suzhou in three days to listen to the emperor's imperial decree.The officials invited for today's welcome banquet are all officials under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, from the magistrate, to the judge, to the county magistrate, and even some big households in Suzhou City are among them.This is also Lin Ruhai's request. Taking advantage of this opportunity to meet all the famous people in Suzhou City, I also have a plan in my heart. After all, internal stability is the top priority.These aristocratic families are wealthy families that have been entrenched for generations. If there is any dissent, it will have a greater influence than those corrupt officials.Besides, there will be wars and chaos in the future, maybe there will be places where these people can be used?

Lin Ruhai led the people into the Jixiang Building, and led by the shopkeeper into the small courtyard. Tong San had already led the officials of the Suzhou government to greet him in the courtyard.He still has a pretty good impression of the judge. He seems to be an upright literati with no bad habits, and the official evaluation is not bad.Although he didn't make any earth-shattering events in the years of being an official in Suzhou, it is not bad to be able to abide by his duty and integrity.Lin Ruhai knew that he was a smart man, and he really cared about the common people. There is a saying in ancient times: If you are successful, you will benefit the world, but if you are poor, you will be alone.

There is also a reason why the general judge has not done anything. After all, he has been suppressed by the magistrate, and the king of Nan'an has caused trouble in this area a few years ago. Even if he wants to do anything, it is unrealistic.If he really wanted to do good deeds with passion, it would put him in a dangerous situation. Examples like this abound from ancient times to the present.Rather than making unnecessary sacrifices, it is better to preserve our strength and do what we can for the people. The so-called green hills are left without worrying about firewood, but if life is lost, any ideals can only be wishful thinking.As long as such a person gives him conditions, he can do things that are beneficial to the country, and Lin Ruhai can naturally afford this condition.Sometimes the country needs some people who throw their heads and blood to play a typical leading role, but more often they need this kind of people who do things quietly. After all, real life is maintained by these people.

Without everyone's salutation, Lin Ruhai took the seat first, and then everyone also took the seat one after another. Lin Ruhai was in the middle, and on the left and right were officials and wealthy gentry from Suzhou.There is a stark contrast between the big and the small on both sides. Although Suzhou is a big city, there are many rich and powerful families, but there are not many of them that really have influence. Therefore, there are only a dozen or so sporadic people on the side of the squires.On the other side, there are obviously some overcrowding. There are at least 30 to [-] people from the officials of the Suzhou government and the magistrates of the counties. In addition, there are many garrisons in Suzhou, and there are many people with military positions, so the current situation has formed. .

To say that this reception banquet was really nothing special, it was nothing more than eating and drinking, it was the same everywhere, Lin Ruhai also felt quite bored.Halfway through drinking, a big man dressed in military uniform came stumbling over with a wine jar. The big man had a hulking back and a very mighty appearance. His beard obviously hadn't been repaired for a long time, but it was very pleasant to look at.The familiar generals around couldn't help gasping, as if they couldn't bear to look straight at him, alas, I knew that this reckless man would be in trouble if he drank too much, and he just went out without looking at the current situation, thinking that this It's in the barracks!

"My lord, I...I would like to offer you a toast!" The big man seemed to have drunk too much, his tongue was too big, and he held up the jar and said inarticulately, "I am a rough man, I can't speak, but when I saw my lord I fell in love with him at the first sight, much better than that... King of Nan'an, I make friends only by seeing each other, today I am sure to make friends with you, come, drink!"

Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help giving a thumbs up silently in their hearts, brother, you are awesome!You dare to mess around in such an occasion, didn't you see that the magistrates are silent and dare not make a sound?Moreover, Mr. Lin is a gentle and elegant person at first glance, how much courage do you have to dare to go forward with a jar of wine?But those who don't know are not afraid, this is something that only a kind of weak-rooted person can do, other people will definitely not lose their composure like this even if they are drunk!

"Haha..." Just when everyone was guessing that Lin Ruhai would be unhappy, a hearty and intimidating laughter rang out in his ears. At this moment, Lin Ruhai was the one who dared to do this, "This general is bold. If the governor refuses, it will be petty, I also fought in the battlefield when I was young. Soldiers have to eat meat and drink in big bowls, eat to their heart's content, and enjoy it when they kill the enemy!" Then he took the big man and handed it to him. He raised his head and drank it down, pointed to the generals present and said: "At that time, you generals were probably still climbing trees to dig out bird eggs? Oh, no, your generals should know, I remember that Did he still stay under my command for a while? And you, this general, I also made friends with you.” Lin Ruhai said that he led troops to fight at the age of 20, and he became famous as a teenager, although his military career Only a few short years, most young people today do not remember.But after living in the military camp for many days, he naturally understands that this kind of simple-minded person is the best to get along with and the most reassuring, and this kind of character can live so leisurely, either because of his high martial arts skills and extraordinary skills. place; or a member of the blessing, to be favored by heaven.And no matter which one is used well, it is a sharp weapon. Besides, no matter these friends are worth making, it is always easier to associate with simple-minded people than those with nine twists and turns.As soon as the words came out, the generals went into a commotion, and they all looked at the general Song Huaiyi who was sitting guarding the generals, as if they were asking if it was true.

Song Huaiyi, who was named, looked at everyone's questioning eyes and bowed respectfully to Lin Ruhai, then turned around and said, "Your Excellency is indeed right. At that time, I was still a boy, and I went to join the army with all my enthusiasm, and I just voted under the command of my lord." Later, I followed my lord to fight Xirong, and my lord led us three thousand cavalry to severely damage the army of one hundred thousand in Xirong, until Xirong surrendered, and then I realized what it means to strategize and win thousands of miles. I was taught the art of war by my lord, and I have achieved today's achievements , Did you learn a lot from the adults back then? But the adults don’t want to accept apprentices, otherwise I must worship under the door.” Then he bowed to Lin Ruhai, he was young and impulsive, relying on a strong momentum After entering the barracks, he was chosen as a personal guard by Mr. Lin because of his bravery in combat, and later he got his true biography.Otherwise, based on his brute strength, he might have lost his life a long time ago. How could he become a grand third-rank general today? He has always regarded Lin Ruhai as a mentor in his heart, and he would naturally refuse to accept and defend himself when others questioned him.

Everyone looked shocked when they heard this, "The general is talking about the famous Battle of Changling that hit Xirong 25 years ago and did not dare to invade our Celestial Empire for decades?"

"That's right, it was that battle. The Holy Majesty is now in command. Your Excellency is the general on the left, and the third prince is the general on the right. Your Excellency led our army of elite cavalry into Xirong for hundreds of miles. No armor will be left behind." , That battle was really beautiful." Song Huaiyi said with a look of aftertaste, as if thinking of the situation at that time still has a feeling of excitement.

"Ah, my lord is very powerful, it's the generals who don't know Taishan!" The generals below said one after another. Twenty-five years ago, my lord was only in his 25s at that time. At that time, everyone was still climbing trees and digging out bird nests, and everyone still didn't believe it, but now it seems that if you don't believe it, you have to believe it.They had all heard about the Battle of Changling, and admired the general's command. They had thought about what it was like, but they didn't expect to see a real person today.

"My... my lord, it turns out that you have actually fought a war, so I said we think you are so pleasing to the eye, your lord is so powerful, this time we don't have to be afraid of that... er, Nanyi! Since we hit it off so well... er , My lord, why don't we make a vow..." The drunk just now pulled Lin Ruhai and said.

Song Huaiyi saw that the drunk man was talking more and more outrageous, so he hurried up and pulled him away, explaining: "My lord, don't worry, this is a general under the last general, and he usually talks nonsense, and this drink is even more speechless." If it is blocked, the final general will pull him down."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "It's okay, soldier, be honest, no one will take it seriously when you talk nonsense after drinking, I see that he drank a lot, Huaiyi, you can send him down to rest for a while!"

"My lord, you may not know that it doesn't work for the general to speak now. This guy has no rules when he sees alcohol. He will never return if he is drunk, and he won't even listen to the general's words." Song Huaiyi said.

"Brothers, drink, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return home!" Sure enough, before the words finished, the drunk man yelled and walked away.Song Huaiyi looked helpless, and glanced at Lin Ruhai, as if to say that the adults saw it, that's it!

"Haha..." Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "This character is cute, but he is not in the military camp today, so let him be!" The dragon aura is different, but a faint white halo, which is probably the root of this person's good fortune and good luck.Although Lin Ruhai doesn't know where this kind of luck comes from, the way of heaven is vast, but it has its own rules. Although he cultivates the truth, he can't understand everything.

It was the first time I saw Lin Ruhai when there were many people sitting there. At the beginning, I was somewhat restrained. After the incident of toasting, everyone let go a lot, especially the generals. Many people came forward to toast. Lin Ruhai also came Those who do not refuse.Most of the military generals are bold and forthright, seeing that Lin Ruhai is not as petty as ordinary literati, they all have a good impression of the big governor in their hearts, not to mention that the big governor is still a famous general who is so much earlier than them, so there is a lot of fun image.

The banquet lasted until noon, everyone was drunk, but Lin Ruhai looked calm and composed.Lin Butler looked at his master's leisurely and contented appearance, and couldn't help being proud in his heart. His master is still very good, but his drinking capacity is too scary!

What Lin Butler thought, Lin Ruhai naturally didn't know, his physique had fundamentally changed after he cultivated, and drinking these mundane things was no different from drinking water.Apart from adding some impurities to the body, I really can't think of other effects, even the taste is not very good, if the spirit wine brewed by my daughter is still possible to get drunk, Lin Ruhai thought.However, he still used his power to force him out. If he went back and let his daughter smell the alcohol, he would be forced to drink hangover soup. It is inevitable to drink!
