Lin Yanchao followed the servant to the door, and after passing a corner door between the two walls, he came to the place of the inner house. Passing through the courtyard, there are three halls inside, and after the servant opens the bamboo curtain on the west side, he invites Lin Yanchao to enter.

Lin Yanchao looked around, thinking that this was the flower hall where the county officials entertained guests, and soon a beautiful maid served tea to Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao picked up the teacup and drank it, well, this taste is even better than that of the Taoist Yamen, and the big bowl of tea can be lost in the future. After tasting such a good tea, I heard an authentic Shaoxing dialect outside the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accompanied Dong Weng to deal with official business, and I neglected the distinguished guest."

Before he could taste his tea, the other party arrived, Lin Yanchao lost the tea cup and got up and said, "Don't dare, Master He, I just arrived." ”

The two took a photo, Master He was short in stature, and he had completely two styles with the surname Xu.

Master He opened his mouth and said, "Isn't this the prodigy of Hongtang Township, the proud protégé of the Great Grandmaster?" Why does Brother Xu use you as an errand boy? Hearing this, Master He was a little surprised in his words.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "After today's lawsuit, I just went to visit my teacher, and I entrusted the matter of sending the letter to the student because the teacher and Mr. Xu valued the student. ”

Master He suddenly smiled and said: "So that's the case, Xiaoyou can get the superintendent and Mr. Xu at a young age, and the future is really limitless." Brother Xu and I happen to be old friends, and Xiaoyou and Xiaoyou are not outsiders. ”

"Master He has an overreputation, the students are shallow, and only people have good legs and feet. Since Master He can afford it, the work of running errands and delivering letters, the students are willing to run. ”

"Okay, there will be Lao Xiaoyou in the future."

Lin Yanchao saw that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he didn't say more, so as not to lose his words, and directly handed over Mr. Xu's letter to Master He.

Seeing the letter, Master He restrained his smile, spat at the foam, and skillfully opened the letter paper and read it.

Lin Yanchao observed his words, but Master He's face was not very good-looking, and after half a ring, he smiled bitterly and said: "This, this, Brother Xu still doesn't treat me as his own." ”

Master He put away the letter paper and said to Lin Yanchao at the moment: "Little friend, this brother Xu has nothing else to say except this letter?" ”

"This ...... It seems that there is no more. ”

Master He slapped the back of his hand into his hand, and said with a bitter face: "This is troublesome." ”

What kind of trouble is this, Lin Yanchao came to the county government, and he still had the idea of giving it a try before, but even the troublesome matter of Hu Tixue and Zhou Zhixian, the two big men who played ball with each other, still didn't mix it with much.

Anyway, when the letter was delivered, I also knew Master He, and the other party is sad now, but I still have the opportunity to get close to him in the future.

Lin Yanchao was about to get up and say goodbye.

At this time, a servant rushed in and said, "Master He, it's not good......"

Master He coughed, and when the official saw that Lin Yanchao was coming over, he said a few words in Master He's ear.

Master He's face was full of worry and said, "What can you do for me?" Tell someone to send it back first. ”

"This."

"What do you do on weekdays, just do it, and at this time your heart is soft-hearted? What is the use of the county to support you? ”

"Yes." The servant left in a hurry.

Seeing Master He's worried face, Lin Yanchao got up and said, "Master He, it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

"Please stay." Master He said with a smile.

"Master He, what else do you have to order?"

Master He smiled and said, "I and Xiaoyou, you hit it off at first sight, and I have a few thoughtful words to talk to you." ”

It was so quick to hit it off at first sight, and it was still considerate of what he said. Lin Yanchao could only say: "Thank you Master for your trust, and the students will listen to you." ”

"Do you know what the county lord is asking for an inspector?"

"I don't know if I'm late." Lin Yanchao replied very frankly.

Master He showed a slight look of disappointment and said: "It turns out that Mr. Xu didn't sue you, it seems that you can only give it a try, but this time Dong Weng has trouble with the superintendent." It is said to be related to the flood in Fujian. ”

"Oh," Lin Yanchao remembered the scene he saw at the city gate before, where there were displaced people everywhere, and he couldn't help but think about taking care of it at the moment and said, "Master, please speak." ”

Master He said: "This time, the Fujian flood flooded, and the ten towns in the prefecture and Houguan County were seriously affected, not only that, tens of thousands of victims from the upper reaches poured into the cities and villages. The victims of the disaster entered the city every day with an unknown number of diseases, and there was nowhere to resettle, and tens of thousands of people were waiting to be fed. ”

Lin Yanchao was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: "When the students came, they saw that the county government did not deal with this matter, but instead ordered the officials to block people outside the city, thinking that they would not starve to death, and the world was peaceful behind closed doors?" ”

Master Shen said: "Little friend, you are not in the officialdom, and you don't know the difficulties in the officialdom. If we let the hungry people into the city, then disturb the peace, in case the hungry people come to Futai, the political secretary, and the yamen of the town guard lieutenant make trouble, and the imperial history is broken, and the Dongweng black yarn hat will not be guaranteed. ”

Lin Yanchao sneered slightly, but asked on his face: "What countermeasures does the county lord have?" ”

Master Shen said: "At this point, of course, the only way to save is to open a position. But the marquis's food is not enough, even if there is grain stored in Changfeng's warehouse, it is not enough for the people to eat for a few days. Originally, Dong Weng wanted to borrow grain from the magistrate of Min County, and there were one Changfeng warehouse and three reserve warehouses in Min County, which was more than enough to store grain. Dong Weng was supposed to borrow a batch first, and after the autumn grain was put into storage, he would replenish them. But the magistrate of Min County just refused. ”

"Then play, will Fuzun sit idly by?"

Master Shen sighed and said: "They are all three lives in the same city as the evil Fu County, and the Fuzun supports the magistrate of Min County behind his back, so the magistrate of Min County dares to prevaricate and say that there are also disaster victims under his rule, but he will not borrow it." ”

"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others! That is not only the support of the Futai Yamen, but also the county lord is looking for the Yamen? The Futai Yamen will not sell the face of the Yamen. ”

Master Shen smiled and said: "Then you don't know, Inspector Hu and Lord Futai have a very good personal relationship, as long as he can deliver the word in front of Lord Futai, won't this matter be easy?" ”

What a bad idea is this, my teacher has a ghost only if he agrees. Hu Tixue delivered a message to Futai, and the Lord of Futai used the coercion of the governor to suppress the political secretary, which certainly achieved his goal. But when it comes to learning the Taoist Yamen, won't it open the Yamen of the Futai Dynasty? Hu Tixue, who has always cherished feathers and just wants to leave after gaining fame in one term, how could he do such a thing that destroys harmony.

Of course, unless Hu Tixue and Zhou Zhi County have a very iron relationship, but Hu Tixue is a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing, Zhou Zhixian is a Jinshi in Longqing 5 years, Hu Tixue is a native of Chongyang, Huguang, and Zhou Zhixian is a native of Nanhai, Guangdong.

The two were neither the same year nor fellow villagers......

Thinking of this, a thought crossed Lin Yanchao's mind, five years of Longqing!

Qinglong's five-year general examination exam, isn't it Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Taiyue, the first assistant of the dynasty? Changed to the examiner of other subjects, Lin Yanchao may not remember. Only Zhang Juzheng is really impressive, because Zhang Juzheng was the first master in the history of the Ming Dynasty to be impeached by his protégé.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, at the moment, Zhang Juzheng has just killed Gao Gong and become the first assistant, and Zhou Zhixian, as the protégé of the first assistant of the dynasty, is still very popular.

As for Hu Tixue, Lin Yanchao also guessed one or two, Zhang Ju is a native of Jiangling, Huguang, and Hu Tixue is a native of Chongyang, Huguang, and the two can be regarded as having a hometown.

No wonder when Hu Tixue went to the countryside, Zhou Zhixian would personally accompany him......

I see, I get it all.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Mr. Xu once told me that the county is a protégé of Zhang Gelao, and he is not an outsider with his teacher. ”

Master Shen patted his leg and smiled, "Of course. The county respects the great grandmaster as an uncle in the family, if you can work with Mr. Xu to promote this matter in front of the great grandmaster, the county will be rewarded. ”

He also has no choice, Zhou Zhixian has not long taken office, and in the Fujian officialdom, the only backer is Inspector Hu, if he doesn't count on him this time, there will be no one to help. Although he knew that the child in front of him had little hope of helping Hu Tixue, he was now sick and rushed to the doctor.

At this time, seeing Lin Yanchao, he thought for a while and said, "Master Shen, if you don't dislike it, I have an idea to help the county honor." ”

Master Shen suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Could it be that Xiaoyou has any way to impress the great grandmaster, but please come and hear it?" If this can be done, Dong Weng and Zai will have a good reward. ”

Thick report, Lin Yanchao hesitated, Master Shen met for the first time, how his character was unclear, and someone as mean as Zhou Zhixian was probably not a good candidate for refuge. However, Hu Tixue's term of office is more than a year away, and for Lin Yanchao's current situation, there are too few opportunities to choose from, and he can only fight for any chance to get ahead for himself.

After thinking about it clearly, Lin Yanchao said: "Master Shen's words are serious, I am talking lightly in people, I am afraid that there is no weight, I can say that I am a teacher." ”

Master Shen hurriedly said, "Little friend, aren't you entertaining me?" ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Don't dare, no matter how bold I am, I don't dare to entertain Master Zhou, but this matter really doesn't need to trouble the teacher." ”

"Don't bother with Hu Tixue, why bother anyone?"

Master Shen didn't think so in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Young people, don't blow nonsense. Don't you think you're Futai-sama? A county order Yin still wants to sell your face? ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Master He, if you believe me once, even if you don't succeed, it's just a waste of pen and ink." ”

The most indispensable thing in the county government is ready-made pen and ink, Master Shen frowned, and immediately ordered someone to send pen and ink.

Lin Yanchao waved and said: "This letter is handed over to the magistrate of Min County, and he will definitely agree to lend grain to Zhou Zhixian." ”

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was so confident, Master Shen couldn't help but take the letter with a puzzled face, but saw that it was written: "King Xihui is a prince of a small country, and he can still move the people of Hanoi, so that the millet in the east of the river, and now the emperor is the co-lord of the world, how can he bear to close the rice of Fujian County to take advantage of the hunger of the marquis." Could it be that the son of heaven is young and wants to tear the earth and seal the marquis? ”

Master Shen couldn't help trembling when he saw that he was holding the letter paper in his hand, and suddenly slapped the table and praised: "Little brother, you are really a genius in the world!" ”

Lin Yanchao arched his hand and said: "Master Shen, don't dare to be, I just do what I can for the people in the township." ”
