The appearance of these guards around Gu Zhao made people look imposing at first glance, and the people watching the excitement immediately understood that the little boy in their eyes was not an ordinary person.

However, most of the people could not understand the official language and didn't know what they were talking about. They asked the people around them, and when a few understood it, they helped to translate it for everyone, and the crowd of onlookers immediately exploded.

"That little boy is actually the new magistrate of our Yaochang mansion?"

"Exactly, the official seal can't be wrong. I didn't expect that the new magistrate was almost robbed by the tigress of the Yan family when he arrived. When he arrived in the yamen, he was almost thrown into prison by the officials below. This magistrate Bad luck."

"Master Xin Zhifu is very good-looking, no wonder he is favored by the Yan family tigress, but this is a bit embarrassing."

The little official knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, the other officers stood there looking at each other, not knowing what to do. Of course, it is impossible to continue to arrest Gu Zhao and send him to prison, but they have to kneel down and beg for mercy from Gu Zhao... They can't do it." They are all Mr. Fang's people. Can the new magistrate come here and be the master of the yamen?

With such a mentality, they looked at Gu Zhao with hesitation.

Gu Zhao sneered: "Why didn't you move? Don't you continue to send me to prison?"

One of the guards boldly said: "Don't dare, the villain didn't know the identity of the adult before, how offensive, the adult has a lot, please forgive the villain's ignorance."

Master Fan's eyes widened in shock, not even a single official took them seriously, this place really doesn't take the court seriously at all.

Gu Zhao pointed at Yan Ya, who was still there in a daze, and said, "This woman has offended me, and I ordered you to take her down!"

"What? How dare you let them take this girl? Do you know who this girl is?" Yan Ya didn't expect her eyesight to be so good. She immediately fell in love with the new magistrate. She was still thinking about it just now, and she hadn't decided before Come on, this time, it's better to just let the magistrate be her husband-in-law, so that the Yan family will also have face.

As for Gu Zhao's own intentions, that's not in her consideration at all. When they ran to the boundary of Yaochang City, could they find the palms of their hands?If you are obedient, this life will be easier, otherwise the four major families in this city will have a lot of ways to toss the magistrate.

"Do you have an imperial order? Do you have an imperial conferment? Since you don't have one, you are just a white body. If you offend an imperial official, this official can take you!"

Yan Ya suddenly laughed loudly: "It's really naive, but I like it, I want to see, which one you can assign to take this girl! Haha, you little boy, you wait, this girl will go back and let my father give it to me!" I'm going to ask you to propose marriage. Go back home!"

Yan Ya's lackeys cast a playful look at Gu Zhao, then ran away following Yan Ya.

"My lord!" Shi Mao and Master Fan were very angry.

Gu Zhao didn't care. This reaction was within his expectation, but he did it on purpose. At this time, he looked at the officials who were still standing there: "It seems that I can't order you to do things anymore? Then don't come to me again. If you are on an errand by your side, you can go to whoever belongs to you, get lost!"

Gu Zhao finally found a timid servant and asked him to take him to the place where he should go. From this day onwards, he will officially move into the Yamen. They entered the yamen.

The crowd outside was in an uproar, and as they dispersed, the arrival of the new magistrate and the conflict between him, the tigress of the Yan family, and the officials spread quickly.

"The new magistrate has already arrived? And he was taken by the Yan family tigress as a bad boy and wanted to snatch him back to the mansion?"

"The words of the Yan family tigress in the yamen are more effective than the new magistrate?"

"I saw it clearly. I was at the scene. The magistrate really looked like a little boy, at most 20 years old. If such an official ran to our Yaochang City, he would not be afraid of being gnawed to the bone by those four families." Is there no scum left?"

"I'm afraid I offended someone in Beijing, so I was relegated to our place. Otherwise, such a young official must have a bright future in the court. How could he go to our poor place where no shit."

"Look at the battle today, I'm afraid that the new magistrate will not be able to suppress those four families at all. Alas, when will the arrogance of those four families be suppressed?"

"Wishful thinking, the officials from outside will either end up with the four families, or die badly, and count on the new magistrate? That won't work at all. The new officials will end up with these two endings. Who will let him bad luck."

There was light in some people's eyes at first, but it went out in the end.

The four families also got the news very quickly, including Fang Tongzhi, who was in the mansion and did not go to the yamen to work. Fang Tongzhi almost vomited when he heard the report from his subordinates, and dared not reply: "That girl of the Yan family Almost snatched the new magistrate back?"

"Yes, my lord, that lord resisted, and the young miss of the Yan family wanted to send him to the yamen when she was upset, and wanted to wait for him to suffer a lot before talking about it. The guards in the yamen did the same thing after listening to what the young lady said. Later, when the adult revealed his identity, Miss Yan's family did not give up and said that she would ask her father to propose marriage when she went back."

Fang Tongzhi had a strange look on his face: "I really like it. It seems that our new magistrate looks good, otherwise how could he get into Yan Yana's eyes? The Yan family wouldn't really propose marriage, would they?"

"This... this little one doesn't know, is the adult going to the Yamen?"

Fang Tongzhi drank two sips of tea, and then looked gloating: "What am I going to do, let the Yan family meet the lord for a while, and let the word out, just say that I am unwell, and I will trouble the magistrate for yamen affairs." My lord has worked hard, and when I recover, I will personally go to accompany my lord."

"Yes, my lord, I'll go and tell the mansion right now, my lord."

This person is Fang Tongzhi's confidant in the government office. He came out of the office and ran to Fangfu, and was noticed by many people. As soon as he came out of Fang's house, he was blocked by many people. , Asking questions in a hurry.

"What did Mr. Fang say?"

Now the yamen is Fang Tongzhi's territory, of course they take Fang Tongzhi's intentions as the direction of action, it doesn't matter if they offend the new magistrate, but if they offend Mr Fang, their future will be ruined.

So without Mr. Fang's signal, they were not sure whether to show favor to Gu Zhao or stay away from him.

This person looked around, smiled and said Mr. Fang's meaning. Everyone immediately understood that this was the meaning of leaving the new magistrate alone. When the new magistrate made a mess, Fang Tongzhi would come out to take over the yamen. In the future, what qualifications does the new magistrate have to intervene in yamen affairs?

"We understand, alas, my leg suddenly hurts, I have to see a doctor, I'll take a step first." The man said that his leg hurts, but he walked like flying, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The others also made excuses one after another, and dispersed after a while.

Gu Zhao, who was in the government office, heard that someone was coming to see him, so he called him in.

"Xiaoguan has seen adults."

"Who are you?"

The visitor hurriedly reported his identity, and looked very respectful on the surface, but Gu Zhao couldn't figure it out in his heart.

"It turned out to be Lord Bian. What does Lord Bian have to say to this official?" Gu Zhao drank his tea slowly, well, there is a well in the yamen, and Shi Mao and his two made this tea for him, otherwise he would not even drool. I can't even drink it.

While drinking, Gu Zhao thought to himself, if it wasn't for the fact that there was a well in the yamen, he would not even be able to drink his saliva as a dignified fourth-rank official.

Bian Yong carefully glanced at Gu Zhao, unable to figure out whether this Master Gu was really calm or just pretending, but this did not prevent him from relaying Fang Tongzhi's words.

Not only was Gu Zhao not angry, but he showed worry on his face: "What a coincidence, Fang Tongzhi fell ill right after I took office, okay, please pass on a message for me, since Fang Tongzhi is not feeling well, then Just rest at home, there is an official in the yamen, so Fang Tongzhi doesn't have to worry about it."

"Yes, my lord, the next official will tell Mr. Fang about this."

"Go." Gu Zhao waved his hand, and the man quickly backed away.

Gu Zhao continued to drink tea, but Master Fan and the others became anxious for Gu Zhao. Now most of the people in the yamen have left, and the rest don't look like capable people. Yaochang Mansion is not comparable to Jiangnan. Because of Zhao's relationship with Wensi Academy, when a letter passed, someone came to handle the work immediately, but the people here are unfamiliar, where can they find someone to run this government office?

The person surnamed Fang is sick?Heck, it's no wonder they believed it, it was clearly intentional, and because of his situation, a bunch of people asked for leave to go back with various excuses, which was intentional to make things difficult for their lord.

"My lord, what should we do now? The remaining people are unable to command." Shi Mao and the two were worried for Gu Zhao.

"What are you in a hurry for? Do you know that there is a saying that money can turn ghosts around? I, Gu Zhaoque, will never be short of money."

Master Fan's eyes lit up when he heard it: "My lord means..."

"Are there more rich people or poor people in this city?"

"Naturally, there are many poor people." And the polarization is serious.

"That's it, Mr. Fan, go and count the remaining people who are willing to listen to me and work with me. I won't treat these people badly. Everyone else will be kicked out. The remaining shortage of manpower will be solved by this official." I use my own money to invite someone to come over to do things, but I have to make a statement, if I take my money and refuse to do things for me, it will go as far as it goes.”

Shi Mao and the two twitched their mouths. They never thought that their adults would one day use the method of throwing money at them to handle affairs, but after thinking about it carefully, although this method is simple and rude, it may be really useful. They have followed Gu Zhao around outside for the past two days , I know how poor some people are, and they have money to take, so it is impossible for them to be disobedient.

Master Fan obviously doesn't know enough about Gu Zhao's affluence, but right now he has no other way to solve the situation before him, and he is also worried about one thing: "My lord, will the Yan family really..."

Mentioning this matter, Gu Zhao became upset: "Even if they come, do I have to accept them? So Master Fan hastened to recruit more people to come in, and then set up a battle for me."

"Yes, yes, then this subordinate should hurry up and do this."
