After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

Chapter 53 The next official sees the magistrate

"Master Chen, be careful, slandering the prince for rebellion is a felony!"

A voice came from behind Chen Daomin.

I saw a man wearing a Dagan seventh-rank official uniform walking towards Chen Daomin.

"My subordinate Cao Youde, please refer to the magistrate."

Cao Youde bowed deeply to Chen Daomin, speaking respectfully.

"You are Cao Youde, the magistrate of Lingnan Prefecture? Why haven't you come to welcome me for so long!"

Chen Daomin saw that the Lord finally appeared, and the anger he had been holding all day finally found a place to vent his anger.

He is also not polite to Cao Youde, and he does not care about the love of the same year as he said before.

"My lord, don't blame me. Recently, my Lingnan Prefecture city has been expanded, the old city has been rebuilt, and the old city walls have been demolished. All the officials in the whole government are busy, and I really can't spare anyone to meet my lord.

Xiaguan has heard that Mr. Chen is an upright and honest official, so he must not be a person who pays attention to fame and ostentation. "

Cao Youde said respectfully, with a look of guilt.

"I am, I am, I am here in Lingnan Mansion, there is no pomp, what's the point of the prefect!"

Chen Daomin roared in his heart, but naturally he couldn't say that.

"Yes, I am not a person who pays attention to ostentation, but your goalkeeper is very disrespectful to me. It seems that Mr. Cao has a big problem with the officials of Lingnan Mansion."

Seeing that he could not criticize Cao Youde on the reception issue, Chen Daomin had no choice but to start from the disadvantage of disciplining his subordinates, and first give Cao Youde a blow.

Let him know that he, the magistrate, is not easy to fool around.

"Oh? My lord, are you talking about the soldiers guarding the city? My lord misunderstood, the soldiers guarding the gate are under the jurisdiction of the garrison general Qi Yong, but they have nothing to do with me.

That Qi Yong has always been arrogant and unreasonable, and he has no respect for his subordinates, he never thought that he would indulge his subordinates so much, oh, it's really not upright and crooked. "

Cao Youde's face was of the same hatred, as if he felt the same feeling when he heard Chen Daomin being scorned by the goalkeeper.

"I'm sorry, Big Qi, Lao Cao, I'm going to betray you."

Cao Youde said silently in his heart, and apologized to Qi Yong in his heart.

"It seems that if Cao Youde and Qi Yong don't deal with each other, as long as I pull one and hit one, won't they be able to disintegrate and defeat the high-level officials of Lingnan Mansion one by one?

It seems that Cao Youde can be used by me. "

Chen Daomin thought quickly, and his impression of Cao Youde changed slightly.

"Master Cao, I have been exhausted all the way, and now I have finally entered the city. The so-called law enforcement team wants to arrest my loyal servant. This is really unreasonable."

Chen Daomin's tone towards Cao Youde also became calmer, wanting Cao Youde to come forward to solve the troublesome matter in front of him.

"Master Chen, this law enforcement team is also under the management of Qi Yong, the lower officials are really powerless."

Cao Youde whispered to Chen Daomin, with a look of grievance, as if he was usually bullied by Qi Yong.

"Oh? It doesn't work if you say it? Don't you take responsibility for all the big and small things in this city?"

Chen Daomin inquired in a low voice, hoping to learn more about the filth between Cao Youde and Qi Yong from him, so that they can be divided and broken down one by one.

"My lord, you also know that a lower official is only a seventh-rank magistrate, but Qi Yong is a fifth-rank defense general, so how can he be convinced by a lower official.

These years, it has been hard for me to be an official, but now that my lord is finally here, I can count on my lord to rely on in the future. "

Cao Youde explained to Chen Daomin in a low voice, while wiping his tears with his sleeve.

"The chilies grown by His Highness are too hot for the eyes, so they shouldn't be rubbed so much.

In the evening, I will go to His Royal Highness to get some. This pepper is really a must for barbecue. "

Cao Youde thought wildly while acting.

Seeing that Cao Youde's eyes were red, and he didn't seem to be fake, Chen Daomin strengthened his judgment.

This Cao Youde must have been bullied by Qi Yong on weekdays, this person is available.

"Hey, Brother Cao Xian, speaking of which, I and you were Jinshi in the same year, so it can be regarded as a friendship of the same year.

You and I have no one in private, just call me brother.

Brother Cao Xian, don't worry, since this official is here, he will naturally return the Lingnan officialdom to a bright future.

This official will never allow that Qi Yong to be lawless and insult Cao Xiandi again. "

Chen Daomin held Cao Youde's hand with both hands, and said sincerely.

"Then the next official will take advantage of Mr. Chen, and call Mr. Chen brother Chen."

"Hey! Brother Cao Xian."

The hands of the two were tightly held together.

Chen Daomin: Sure enough, as long as the official is kind to him, he will let him bow his head to worship. The art of controlling people is a mere path.

Cao Youde: Have you held it enough? Let go now. I am not as good as Long Yang. I need to wash myself with soap when I get home.

"Brother Chen, wait for me for a moment, I will try to get him to release me with my old face."

Cao Youde quickly pulled out his hand and said to Chen Daomin.

"Captain Chen, it's the first time for Prefect Chen to come to our Lingnan Mansion, and he doesn't know the rules of Lingnan Mansion.

It's better to let him go first. How about I pay the fine for him? "

Cao Youde turned his head and said to Captain Chen, the tone of discussion made Chen Daomin feel that the relationship between Cao Youde and Qi Yong is not harmonious now.

"Since County Magistrate Cao has spoken, I, Old Chen, still have to give this face.

It's just that the fine still needs to be paid, otherwise I can't explain it to the guard. "

Captain Chen bowed his hands to Cao Youde, as if I was trying to save face for you.

"Extremely extreme, I will naturally not make things difficult for Captain Chen.

This is ten taels of silver, and Captain Chen is also asked to release the steward of the magistrate. "

After Cao Youde finished speaking, he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Captain Chen.

Captain Chen collected the money, waved his hand, and let Meng Yi go.

Then he bowed his hands to everyone, turned his head and left.

From the beginning to the end, it seemed that Chen Daomin and Cao Youde were never taken seriously.

"Lawless, the officialdom in Lingnan Prefecture should be rectified.

A small captain of the guard team, who has no rank and no rank, dares to despise the imperial court official. "

When Chen Daomin saw this scene, he said to Cao Youde angrily.

"Hey, brother Chen, don't be angry, this Lingnan Mansion has a tough and tough folk style, and the subordinate officials have been working here for so long, and they are trying to maintain a balance, and they are already used to these things.

However, now that there is an adult, under the leadership of the adult, this Lingnan Mansion will definitely change with each passing day, change the previous atmosphere, and drive away those scumbags.

The lower officials promise that they must follow the lead of the adults and let the adults order them. "

Cao Youde bowed to Chen Daomin.

"It's a blessing in life that I have brother Cao Xian as my assistant."

After finishing speaking, Chen Daomin held Cao Youde's hands tightly again.

Cao Youde: Nima!

Chapter 54

Cao Youde broke free from Chen Daomin's hand, and said to him:

"My lord, it's getting late, I'd better take your lord to settle down first."

"Well, that's good, I'm sorry, brother Cao."

Chen Daomin also felt tired after traveling all the way.

Soon, Cao Youde brought Chen Daomin and his servants to the prefect's yamen.

The magistrate's yamen in Lingnan Prefecture was built during the construction of Lingnan City, and it was completely built according to the standard regulations.

In the front is the trial office, and in the back is the rest area for the magistrate and his family members.

Over the years, because no one has used it and few people have taken care of it, although it is not overgrown with weeds, it is still a little dilapidated.

Seeing the rest area in the backyard, there are even spider webs hanging on the beams, and weeds growing in the cracks between the floor tiles on the ground, Chen Daomin is a little sullen.

The favorable impression he had just had for Cao Youde dropped a lot.

"Didn't the magistrate's yamen ever send someone to clean it?"

Chen Daomin said calmly, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with Cao Youde for not letting him clean it in advance.

"Oh, my lord, you have wronged me as an official.

This mansion was cleaned by the lower official and his family. You can see that the ground of the inner hall has been swept. "

Cao Youde said with sincerity and fear.

"Then why is it still so dilapidated?"

Chen Daomin also saw that there were indeed traces of being cleaned, but it was only cleaned a bit, and it was not cleaned up thoroughly.

"It's mainly because I learned about your arrival late. The Xiaguan family, including my 12-year-old daughter, are a total of three people. They are really too busy."

Cao Youde called Qu Dao.

"What about the servants in Lingnan Mansion? Why don't you let them do the cleaning, why do you have to do it yourself with Brother Cao and his family?"

When Chen Daomin heard that Cao Youde cleaned it himself, his anger subsided a little, wondering if there was any misunderstanding.

"Oh, this matter is still related to His Royal Highness King An."

"Oh?"

"His Royal Highness King An ordered that the private use of public objects is prohibited, and the servants in Lingnan Mansion are different from other places, and cannot be used by Shangguan for private affairs.

Therefore, these yamen servants just cleaned the trial yamen, and they didn't care about the back court. "

Cao Youde explained.

"It's unreasonable, we officials, studying hard in the cold window, toiling all day in copywriting, doing things that are related to the livelihood of the people, how can we spend time on such housework!

High and low, how can it be a private job for a majestic superior to let the subordinate servants to clean the courtyard!This order is really inexplicable! "

As soon as he heard that it was related to King An again, Chen Daomin's blood surged up, and his anger rose from his heart.

"His Royal Highness King An's order, the lower officials really dare not disobey, not to mention that there are King An's orders, and the gang of subordinate officials can't do anything about it."

Cao Youde cried bitterly.

"I didn't expect Cao Xiandi to have such a difficult life in Lingnan Mansion."

"Hey, it will be fine now that the adults are here."

Cao Youde wiped his tears with his sleeve again, actually blocking his almost unbearable smile.

Today, the dramas he acts in a day are almost catching up with those in this lifetime.

"Go and call these yamen servants for me. I want to see if they can't move them around. If they dare to disobey, they will all be fired."

Chen Daomin looked like he wanted to make things bigger.

"My lord, at this point, except for the guard on duty who stayed behind, everyone else is on duty."

Cao Youde said.

"Hmph, just send someone to call, I want to see what they want."

Chen Daomin sat directly in the middle of the prefect's seat in the lobby, and waited there.

"Then I have no choice but to try."

After all, Cao Youde sent the yamen servant on duty to go door-to-door to call down the clerk yamen servant on duty.

After waiting for nearly an hour, seeing that the sky was getting dark, those yamen servants came late.

"What are you doing, calling us here at this late hour."
