Guangzhou City, the circumference of the city wall is 3,796 zhang, 2 zhang 8 feet high, 150,192 steps, with city gates, city towers, enemy towers, police shops, etc. This pearl blooming on the banks of the Pearl River is showing the charm of Oriental prosperity.

On the quaint green brick street, pedestrians rub shoulders with each other, and the sound of hawking can be heard on both sides, and occasionally Cantonese singing can be heard from the theater next to it, and the smell of food wafts through the street.

It is definitely a paradise to eat, with all kinds of porridge made of sea fish and river crab, all kinds of pastries steamed with rice milk, roasted bacon with Lingnan characteristics, and all kinds of fried snacks.

It was noon, and the clear river in the city was lined with several luxurious painting boats. A young talent wearing a square scarf and a scholar's costume was standing on the bow of the boat watching the scenery on both sides of the strait, and a brightly dressed beauty was caressing the guqin, as if it was a fairy couple.

The Chinese characters are broad and profound, and the north gate of Guangzhou City is called Xiaobei because it is easterly.

Coming to Guangzhou City again and witnessing the scenery here, Lin Haoran suddenly understood that wild girl a little. The home is warm, but the scenery outside is even more intoxicating.

Lin Haoran was wearing a five-grade official robe and a black gauze hat, and he did not take time to comprehend the scenery of the Guangzhou mansion, but went straight to the governor's yamen to post.

After learning that Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, was in Guangzhou City, he also took the initiative to visit.

If this officialdom wants to progress, there must be people below, and people need more people above. Even if you can't get Wang Fang's support, you can't make the other party feel bad, otherwise a certain promotion may be Huang in this deteriorating relationship.

A yacha respectfully led him into the governor's yamen, but when he was taken to the flower hall to wait, he met several officials who had also come to visit Wang Fang, one was a middle-aged official wearing a five-rank official robe, and two officials were wearing a seven-rank official uniform.

Even if it is the same five products, but the functions and powers are different, and their status is also different. For example, although the Ministry of Officials Wenxuan Shilang is only the fifth grade, the promotion of officials in the world must go through him, and many feudal officials also want to sell his face.

Lin Haoran knew that this young face and this five-grade official uniform were like an ID card.

He maintained a faint smile on his face and did not rush to salute the colleague. But while he was quietly watching the changes, this fifth-rank official raised his hand and actually stopped the other two seventh-grade officials from preparing to salute him.

Arrogant? Or is it full of confidence?

After seeing this small action, he immediately understood that this person should have some identity, but he was not friendly to himself.

It's just that disguise is a compulsory course in officialdom, Lin Haoran didn't seem to see it, and arched his hand towards the three of them with a smile: "It's Lin Haoran, the prefect of Leizhou, who has given you a salute!" ”

When the two seven-rank officials saw Lin Haoran salute them, they looked a little scared. Just looking at the five-grade official but not moving, the two of them were also restless, looking at Lin Haoran in embarrassment.

This five-grade official looked a little pretentious, holding the tea cup in both hands, holding the tea lid in one hand and gently plucking the tea, looking at Lin Haoran without hurrying and saying, "The prefect of Leizhou? Leizhou is hundreds of miles away from here, how did you get to the territory of Guangzhou? ”

Normally, the Seal Officer is not allowed to leave the Offices easily. And his questioning like this has a bit of "accountability", and he undoubtedly shows hostility towards Lin Haoran.

"How do you call it?" Lin Haoran kept smiling and saluted him.

At this point, it also reflects his caution, and he did not take the liberty of tearing his face in public. In the same way, his performance surprised the other two officials.

"Guangzhou Mansion Tongzhi Diao Laixi!" Diao Laixi first took a sip of tea, and then proudly reported to himself.

"It turned out to be Diao Tongzhi, disrespectful and disrespectful!" After Lin Haoran learned his identity, he also politely bowed his hand to him, but his face looked a little disapproving.

Guangzhou Prefecture governs thirteen counties in one state, and is the capital of Guangdong, so its status is naturally not the same as that of Leizhou. It's just that no matter how powerful he is, he is a two-in-command after all, not a palm seal officer in charge.

Not to mention that the jurisdiction of Leizhou Prefecture has increased to five counties, and the standard of "Xiafu" has been constituted, and the grade of Leizhou Prefect should be from the fourth grade. Lin Haoran's identity as a fifth-grade palm seal official alone is a little higher than that of this fifth-grade auxiliary official.

Now Diao Laixi is putting up a stand in front of Lin Haoran, which is actually boring for himself.

Diao Laixi also understands this, but he actually wants to shock Lin Haoran, a rookie. Just watched Lin Haoran finish saying hello perfunctorily, and sat down directly on the opposite seat, frowning slightly.

The previous question was thrown out, and there was a feeling of being ignored, which was clearly a slap in the face. Of course, it may also be a manifestation of the other party's weakness.

The tea was served, and it was the refreshing and high-quality Biluochun.

Lin Haoran gently picked up the teacup, took the tea lid and gently plucked the tea, and blended into the customs of this officialdom. With a calm state, he waited for Shangguan's summons.

As for Diao Laixi on the other side, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Not to mention that this person followed the former deputy inspector Diao Nan to take care of him, just because of this person's current position, I don't know who takes care of whom at this time. And in the near future, this man will most likely become his subordinate, how can he praise this man's stinky feet?

It's just that you don't ask for trouble, but trouble may also come to you.

Diao Laixi seemed to be unwilling, and suddenly spoke again: "Since you are the prefect of Leizhou, the palm print of a mansion, this ran to the territory of my Guangzhou Mansion, aren't you afraid that the imperial history will impeach you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire flower hall became tense, and the two seven-rank officials didn't dare to breathe. He was pretending to be using tea, but his eyes were observing the two Shangguan.

Lin Haoran smelled the aroma of tea lightly, and his mind was already very peaceful, but after hearing this, he smiled faintly and said: "Afraid or not, it seems that you have nothing to do with Diao!" ”

"You ......" Diao Laixi's face turned red when he heard this.

After all, although he is a fellow intellectual, his power is limited to Guangzhou Mansion. Even he can't compare to Lin Haoran, after all, there are three divisions, governors and other yamen in Guangzhou, and his power is greatly restricted, and he can't be compared with a real emperor like Lin Haoran.

It's just that he recovered very quickly, pointed to an official next to him and said proudly: "You probably don't know yet, right?" This is Zhou Zilong, the imperial history of Guangdong, aren't you afraid that he will impeach you? ”
