After the word Yan Da was uttered by the servant who broke into the box, not only Xie Jinbai's box fell into a strange silence, but even the box next door where the servants and guards were located stopped punching and yelling. sound.

The atmosphere was eerily silent for a moment.

Different degrees of panic appeared on everyone's faces.

Usually, only the bandits see the official, like a cat meeting a mouse, but in the land of Fufeng County, the situation is completely opposite, and the funny situation of officials fearing the bandits appeared.

"presumptuous!"

There are three military officials in a room, and two county lieutenants who lead the yamen servants and guards also accompany the banquet.

As superiors, the two county lieutenants who were supposed to be the first to question He Hong actually pretended to be deaf and dumb.

In the end, it was Ge Zhou, the weak master, who took the lead in launching the attack.

He sternly said, "Didn't you see Mr. Xie was having a drink with us? He Hong, it's okay for you to be arrogant in your eyes. In front of the new county magistrate today, don't be presumptuous!"

Then He Hong was a gangster when he was young, and he entered the government office only through his father's connections.

His father arranged for him to enter the government office, hoping that after he had a meal at the public house, he would cut off contact with those cronies in the past.

Who would have thought that after He Hong entered the government office, not only did he fail to learn well, but he secretly made friends with the various bandit forces in Fufeng County, and even secretly worshiped Yan Hu.

Everyone in the Yamen knows about this matter.

If everyone was white, and a dot like He Hong appeared, he would have been kicked out of the government office early.

It's just that there were not many people in the Fufeng county government office that were clean.

He Hong and others were able to stay in the county government all the time, and because they were close to Yan Huzhai, no one dared to offend them easily.

He Hong's father passed away two years ago, and He Hong became even more serious.

In the past, he only had contacts with those gangsters secretly, but now he basically doesn't cover up anything, and acts in a high-profile manner.

He Hong didn't like Ge Zhou, who was too old-fashioned. After being reprimanded by him face-to-face, his cheeks turned green and red. After all, he was afraid of Xie Jinbai's status as the new county magistrate, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

He looked at the handsome new county magistrate who was sitting in the top seat, with a very flirtatious smile on his lips, provocative eyes, "He is just telling the truth, I think Mr. Xie will not blame the younger one."

This He Hong's appearance is still fair and handsome, but he has a subdued air, which makes people feel very frivolous, especially the way he looks at Xie Jinbai, which can be said to be very disrespectful, not at all what ordinary yamen servants should do when facing the county magistrate. Some respect.

Xiao Zishu had already got up, holding the scabbard at his waist, and quietly pushed the scabbard away.

Xie Jinbai shook his head calmly.

With a cold face, Xiao Zishu pushed back the scabbard.

Tang Xiaotang frowned.

This Yan Hu is too arrogant!

A bandit actually went to the county magistrate brother Xiaoyu's dust-cleaning banquet, and invited Xiaoyu brother to go and talk in front of everyone in the government office.

If he refuses, then Yan Hu will definitely trouble Brother Xiaoyu secretly in the future.

If he agrees, the magistrate of a majestic county will go to meet a bandit leader in front of all civil and military officials, will Brother Xiaoyu still want to gain a foothold in Fufeng County in the future?

Tang Xiaotang was so angry that he didn't feel like moving chopsticks at all.

A piece of crystal clear horseshoe cake appeared on his plate.

Tang Xiaotang turned his head, but saw that Xie Jinbai was fine, and told him gently, "Eat while it's hot."

Tang Xiaotang has seen this popular man's ability before.

He immediately understood that Xie Jinbai was deliberately ignoring this arrester He.

Yes.

However, a mere policeman is so rude and rude, so he is not worthy of brother Xiaoyu's response.

What is a soldier without blood, a soldier who surrenders without fighting? !

Well, it seems that the master gave him the art of war by his grandson, and he still needs to study hard.

Tang Xiaotang was in a good mood immediately, and took the soft horseshoe cake with chopsticks.

The horseshoe cake should be filled with goat's milk. When you bite down, the milky fragrance overflows. The sweetness of the horseshoe complements each other perfectly.

good to eat!

Tang Xiaotang ate it in two bites, his eyebrows and eyes curled up in satisfaction.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Xie Jinbai held up another piece of chopsticks for him.

Outrageous!

Since then, He Hong also understood that Xie Jinbai was deliberately embarrassing him.

Ever since Yan Hu became the king in Fufeng Mountain, He Hong took advantage of the tiger's prestige, even the previous magistrates were all polite to him.

This new county magistrate is so ignorant of flattery!

When He Hong was about to have an attack, he saw Xie Jin raised his brows and eyes slightly, and seemed to be paying attention to him at this moment, the corners of his lips curled up carelessly, "Send a message? Dare I ask you to arrest me quickly, who is the message from?"

"naturally……"

Then He Hong just wanted to answer bluntly, since he had passed on the words of Master Yan, he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.

For a person like He Hong who walks on the two paths of black and white, does he act on impulse?

At this moment, he has not forgotten his status as an official.

A yamen servant who is paid by the imperial court, and a messenger for a bandit leader...

Don't say that if you spread this matter, you will be looked down upon and spit on by others, even he himself thinks it is unreasonable.

He Hong has been in the market since he was a child, and he has always had a lot of ghost ideas. He immediately had an idea, "Thank you, my lord, it was Yan Hu who sent someone to pass the message. It's just that the villain was about to go to the toilet after drinking for three rounds. , just happened to bump into the person who sent the message. It must be that the vulgar person was abrupt to the lord, so he rushed to the box and passed the message to the lord. After all, Yan Hu has a lot of power here, and if he offends him, he may cause a lot of trouble in the future. "

In this way, since the matter of his close relationship with Yan Huzhai was covered up before the Ming Dynasty in Xinzhi County, there was even a hint of threat in his words.

It was clearly warning Xie Jinbai, the new county magistrate, that if he did not go there without invitation, life for the county magistrate would be difficult in the future.

Several county magistrates before Xie Jinbai also received invitations from Yan Hu.

It's just that Yan Hu had never acted so arrogantly at that time.

Even if they invite each other, they also send someone to contact the county magistrate in private. Never has there been such a bold and aggressive person who directly invited someone at the dust-cleaning banquet.

Is it better to ask someone to refuse, or to be invited?

You know, two county magistrates who rejected Yan Hu before died in office for no apparent reason.

Causes of death vary.

One died of a sudden illness, and the other lost his footing after drinking and fell into the yard well.

Wu made autopsy results that both county magistrates died of accidents.

The two did not die one after another, because one of the county magistrates was too old and returned home not long after taking office.

Even so, it was enough for the succeeding magistrate of Fufeng to be terrified, and worried about whether he would be able to leave here safely.

In short, after the two county magistrates had accidents in their posts, no one in the next county magistrate would dare to reject Yan Hu, the local snake in Fufeng County.

Guo Jia is a typical example.

If Yan Hu hadn't killed his only son by mistake, Guo Jia would definitely not have fallen out with Yan Hu, and he would not have been detained on the mountain. Instead, Xie Jinbai, the successor county magistrate, had to find a way to redeem him.

He Hong looked at Xie Jinbai, the new county magistrate, gleefully.

The news of people in the officialdom has always been well-developed, and Mr. Xie must have heard about the previous county magistrates.

He wanted to see how the new magistrate would respond.

Everyone also showed worry on their faces.

This time, Yan Hu sent He Hong to directly invite Xie County Magistrate to a gathering at the dust-cleaning banquet, clearly intending to make things difficult, what should we do?

He Hong was fully expecting to see a look of panic or fear on the face of the new county magistrate, but Xie Jinbai nodded and said in a low voice, "So, why don't you catch the head and tell the person who sent the message, just say It's really unfortunate that the officials of Fufeng County's Yamen Wenwu County are cleaning up the dust for the county magistrate today, and the county has no time to spare."

This is a rejection in disguise.

Everyone in the box looked different.

Some were purely stunned, some showed admiration, and some were worried that Lord Xie would offend Yan Hu just like that, and there would be troubles in the future.

Even He Hong was stunned, as if he didn't expect this young county magistrate to be so "brilliant".

After a long while, I finally started to smile, and said with a sinister look in my eyes, "My lord will convey the small words for you. However, you must not regret it in the future."

After finishing speaking, in front of the county magistrate Xie Jinbai, he snorted coldly, turned around and strode away.

It can be described as extremely rude.

Xiao Zishu's face was as cold as ice.

If it wasn't for the master who stopped him with his eyes just now, he would have chopped off He Hong's head long ago and used it as a stool for him to step on, and even thought he would dirty his clothes.



He Hong came out of the restaurant with big strides.

Seeing the wooden stake standing outside the restaurant, he raised his foot and kicked it angrily.

"How, can someone invite you?"

In the darkness, a mocking voice sounded.

He Hong turned around abruptly, and shouted at the night, "Who is it! Don't try to blame your grandfather!"

Under the wall, a figure slowly walked out from the shadow.

He Hong's eyes were gloomy, and when he saw someone coming, his attitude was contemptuous, "Who am I, it turns out to be our Catcher Wang."

Wang Peng didn't give him any common sense, and only said calmly, "I told you a long time ago that you can't invite Mr. Xie. Of course, I can't invite you either."

It turned out that Yan Hu sent Wang Peng to deliver a message to Xie Jinbai at the beginning.

Thinking that the current county magistrate would be a good master, He Hong took the initiative to take on this job.

Wang Peng told He Hong that day that he couldn't invite Xie Jinbai.

He Hong didn't listen.

This time he failed to invite people, so the errand was in his hands.

It's good that Wang Peng didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, He Hong was like a firecracker. He strode forward and lifted Wang Peng's collar with his right hand, "It's not you and Sun Qian." And Zhao Ji, those two bastards, came back from Chun'an, and reported that the Xie surnamed himself said that when they came to the Fufeng land in the future, they would definitely go to see my sworn brother? Hmm? Look at the attitude of the surname Xie, Does he look like he's going to meet his sworn brother?"

Wang Peng looked serious, "So, no matter it was me, Sun Qian and Zhao Ji, they were all deceived by Mr. Xie."

"what for?"

"I guess that Mr. Xie should have said that on purpose that day. In this way, we will think that he is the same as the past few county magistrates, and we will not make things difficult for him. In fact, we I really believed it, including Yan Dadao.

No, people arrived in Fufeng County smoothly.I think, Mr. Xie might not know how to laugh at us now in his heart. "

He Hong narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean, that Xie played us all like monkeys?"

Wang Peng said without hesitation, "Yes."

It was only after Wang Peng met Yan Hu that day that he went back and thought over Xie Jinbai's words that he suddenly figured it out——

The son of the Taifu, the friend of the Young Emperor, such a proud son from Yingyang, how could he be afraid of a small bandit leader in Fufeng Mountain, let alone take the initiative to visit him?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He Hong suddenly let go of Wang Peng, squeezed his fingers with both hands, and made a "creak, creak" sound, his eyes were fierce, "I think that Xie is really tired of work!"

"No. On the contrary, I think that Mr. Xie should be confident. My intuition tells me that Mr. Xie is not simple. I advise you not to take the initiative to provoke him in the future."

It would be better for Master Yan to keep himself safe while Mr. Xie is the county magistrate.

Of course, these words have passed and should not have come out of his mouth.

Therefore, he hoped that He Hong could listen to his warning and pass it on to Master Yan.

"Do you want me to act like a rat and take a detour when I see that Xie?"

"Xiao He..."

"Ha! Wang Guaizi, you have been a coward with my father all your life, don't you want me to be like you? I'm sorry! Lao Tzu, do it, no, come! I want to see, then How capable is Xie!"

Realizing that his well-intentioned "persuasion" had the opposite effect, Wang Peng showed anxiety, "Xiao He, listen to my advice, Mr. Xie is really not something we can provoke you, you... ..."

However, He Hong didn't give Wang Peng a chance to finish his sentence, so he interrupted him roughly, "Fuck you! I'll preach in front of Lao Tzu later, and see if I don't punch you to pieces!"

After all, he waved his thick fist in front of Wang Peng threateningly, turned and left.

Wang Peng stood where he was, frowning tightly, never letting go.

Inside the hotel room.

"The subordinates are incapable of governing, please punish the adults—"

"The subordinates are incapable of governing, please punish the adults—"

After He Hong left, the two county captains hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Xie Jinbai to plead guilty.

The county lieutenant is in charge of all the yamen servants and guards in the county yamen. No matter how close He Hong is with Yan Hu and others, he is still working in the yamen. As a yamen servant, he is so disrespectful to the county magistrate Xie Jinbai The two county lieutenants can't absolve themselves of the blame for not being strict.

Those two county lieutenants are also veterans in the officialdom.

The two of them did not want to offend He Hong, since He Hong entered the door, they exchanged winks and secretly agreed that no matter what happened during the banquet, they would always pretend to be dead to the end.

It's Mr. Xie who is angry in his heart, so he can't get rid of the two of them together, can he?

Therefore, to say that it is an apology is nothing more than a meaning, it is sure that Xie Jinbai can't do anything to the two of them.

To rule one is to rule, and to rule two is also to rule. For Xie Jinbai, there is no difference if all the Fufeng County Yamen team is now told to get out.

It's just that he has no plans to move this group of people at this time.

He curled his lips slowly, "It's the county that's drunk and dizzy. It turns out that the two county lieutenants are also sitting with the county today."

What drunkenness?

Has this person drunk today?

"puff--"

Tang Xiaotang ate too much horseshoe cake just now, and was a little thirsty, drinking tea.

After hearing Xie Jinbai's words, the tea in his mouth sprayed out directly from his mouth.

"Coincidentally, it was impartial, all sprayed on the faces of the two county lieutenants who were kneeling in front of him and Xie Jinbai.

The two county lieutenants were first ridiculed by Xie Jinbai, and then sprayed on the face by Tang Xiaotang's tea, their faces turned blue and white, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, their expressions were not unimpressive.

"How can you be so careless?"

The two county lieutenants thought that Xie Jinbai was definitely going to blame the young master for his rudeness, but they heard their new county magistrate ask gently, "Are you choking?"

"Ahem, ahem, no, nothing..."

Tang Xiaotang coughed and shook her head.

The two watched helplessly as Xie Jinbai stroked the young master's back again, and then took a towel to wipe the tea stains from the young master's mouth.

Even taking care of a three-year-old baby doesn't have to be so meticulous!

Doesn't this make people angry?

The two county lieutenants held their breath in their chests, unable to go up or swallow.

They just realized now that there is a kind of humiliation in this world, which is more embarrassing than scolding in public!

At this time, they would never have imagined in their dreams that they would experience such "treatment" more than once in the future.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

However, the two county lieutenants really wanted to make a mistake.

Caressing Tang Xiaotang's back, passing handkerchiefs and so on, is completely the daily life of the young couple, and it's really not for the sake of angering them.

The two county lieutenants were not so big-faced that they needed Mr. Xie to pull his little son into acting to anger them.

After going out like this, everyone completely lost their mood for drinking.

The one with the highest official position, the protagonist of today's dust-cleaning feast, the county magistrate did not say that he wanted to end the game, so the people present could only accompany him dryly.

A meal can be said to be eaten without knowing the taste.

As for the two county captains, because Xie Jinbai hadn't asked them to get up, they dared not get up, so they could only kneel like this.

Occasionally, a drop of tea dripped down from the tip of their hair, very embarrassed.

Among them, Tang Xiaotang and Xie Jinbai were probably the least affected.

In the past few days when Tang Xiaotang went to work with Xie Jinbai, he didn't rest well on the way, and he didn't eat well.

I took a full nap this afternoon, and opened my stomach to eat at night.

I don't know if it's because he is going to grow up, but Tang Xiaotang's appetite has increased a lot recently.

"Well, no more, I can't eat anymore..."

Tang Xiaotang waved his hand when Xie Jinbai was already full after eating another bowl of pigeon egg soup for him.

He really ate too much at night and couldn't eat anymore!

"full?"

"Ah."

"Since Tang'er is full, shall we go?"

"it is good."

Everyone listened to the conversation between the two, and they were extremely curious about the two in their hearts.

Now, what kind of relative is this young master with their county magistrate?

This is too pampering for children!

Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang got up one after another and left the table.

Xiao Zishu followed behind the two of them.

The people who had been ignored thoroughly had a premonition in their hearts——

Their good days are probably coming to an end!



When the two came out of the restaurant, the coachman had already received a message in advance and was waiting outside.

Tang Xiaotang looked at the carriage and said hesitantly, "Brother Xiaoyu. No, you won't take the horse, will you take the carriage? Me, I'm too stuffed, and I want to walk, eat, eat."

If he just sat in the carriage and bumped all the way back, he was afraid that he would vomit halfway.

Xie Jinbai asked Xiao Zishu to go back with the driver first, and walked back slowly with Tang Xiaotang.

Unlike the night market in Chun'an, where people are buzzing and the lights are as bright as day, when night falls, there are no people in Fufeng City.

On one street, there are only a few inns, restaurants, and scattered stalls with bright lights, which is very gloomy and lonely.

Thinking of what the officer said during the day, that bandits would rob people in the city after nightfall, Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but feel hairy.

In case some bandits sneak into the city...

They shouldn't let guard Xiao and the coachman go back first!

Tang Xiaotang subconsciously moved closer to Xie Jinbai.

"cold?"

Xie Jinbai put one hand on Tang Xiaotang's waist, and hugged Tang Xiaotang into his arms, so as to protect him from the wind.

Fufeng County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it is indeed colder than Chun'an.

Tang Xiaotang's body is hot, but not cold.

He had always kept a good face, so he was ashamed to tell the people around him that he was afraid that bandits would suddenly rush out.

So, he simply went the wrong way and enjoyed this person's care for him.

"You've grown taller."

Xie Jinbai suddenly said.

"Really, really?"

Hearing this, Tang Xiaotang raised her face happily, her black eyes sparkling.

Has he really grown taller?

Xie Jinbai compared to the young master who only reached his shoulders, and who had already reached his ears at some point, with a smile on his lips, "Yeah."

His little son has indeed grown taller.

During this period of time, the two got along day and night, and Tang Xiaotang naturally didn't notice the change in the height gap between the two.

Realizing that I had reached this person's ear at some point, I was overjoyed, "Great, great! I want to be as tall as brother Xiaoyu!"

Tang Xiaotang's feelings for Xie Jinbai, in addition to admiration, seemed to be mixed with young people's admiration for older people. He naturally hoped that he could be on par with this person in terms of knowledge and even height.

Xie Jinbai recalled the height of Mr. Xiao Tang in his previous life.

seemingly……

In her previous life, Xiao Guoer only reached his ears.

However, in her previous life, there was a bitter medicinal fragrance on her body all the year round, obviously her physical condition was not very good.

In this life, Weimian has never experienced those sufferings. No matter how well he is raised, he may not be able to be as tall as him. There should be no problem in surpassing his previous life.

Xie Jinbai's thin lips parted slightly, "Eat more from now on, and go to bed on time, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Uh-huh!"

Tang Xiaotang nodded hurriedly, walking with a fluttering pace.

I sketched in my heart that in the future, I would stretch out my long arms and hold the person next to me in my arms. Don't be too flattered.

Xie Jin caught a glimpse of Tang Xiaotang's smirk from the corner of his eye, and tapped his forehead with his fingers, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hey, no, I won't tell you!"

Tang Xiaotang made a big grimace at Xie Jinbai, and jumped out of his arms mischievously.

Since the two got together, Tang Xiaotang became more and more unrestrained in front of Xie Jinbai, and showed more and more freshness and naughtiness that young people should have.

The two walked back to the county office just like that.

Back at the county government office, Tang Xiaotang inevitably thought of Xie Jinbai's current status as the county magistrate of Fufeng County, and thought about the series of disturbing people and events in the Fufeng County government office.

"what happened?"

The two of them walked through the corridor leading to the inner courtyard of the private house from the county government office. Sensing the depression of the young master, Xie Jinbai turned to look at him.

"I was thinking, brother Xiaoyu today, today, refused the bandit leader's invitation, but I'm afraid that Yan Hu will make trouble for Brother Xiaoyu in the future..."

"Since I rejected him, I'm not afraid of him coming to make trouble. Xiaoguo'er is young, why do You Si do it all over again?"

Xie Jinbai pinched his cheek.

"What, I'm not young anymore, I..."

"Thank you, my lord—"

The two of them walked through the Moon Cave Gate in the inner courtyard, and Master Ge suddenly walked out of the house with a lantern in hand.

Tang Xiaotang was taken aback, turned around and hugged Xie Jinbai.

Suddenly remembered that Master Ge was still there, and was about to let go of Xie Jinbai, and feared that this would be too pretentious, so he preemptively said, "Master Ge, you, you appear so suddenly, scare, scare, jump .”

Seeing Tang Xiaotang holding Xie Jinbai at first, Ge Zhou did have doubts flashing through his mind, but now hearing Tang Xiaotang's words, the unformed doubts in his mind immediately drifted away like smoke.

He said guiltily, "I'm really sorry. Ge wanted to come and tell the two of you that the guest room has been packed. I never wanted to scare the young master."

Master Ge is a practical person.

It's just too hard work. When Tang Xiaotang took a nap in Xie Jin's white room in the afternoon, he ordered someone to clean up the guest room.

This time, they came here specially to wait for Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang to come back.

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

Xie Jinbai looked at Tang Xiaotang's unconcealed depressed look, and couldn't help feeling amused in his heart.

Xie Jinbai actually felt that Master Ge was doing too much, but he knew it was his responsibility, so he didn't make things difficult for Master Ge, and bowed his hands on his behalf, "So, thank Master Ge for Tang'er."

Master Ge hurriedly cupped his hands in return, "My lord is serious, and it is my duty to share my worries with you. Young master, Ge will take you to see your room."

Tang Xiaotang turned his head and glanced at Xie Jinbai, who nodded at him.

Tang Xiaotang had no choice but to follow Master Ge to see his scenery.

The guest rooms are not far from Xie Jinbai's room, they are all in the same courtyard, but one is in the east wing and the other is in the west wing.

Tang Xiaotang had thousands of curses in his heart, and he heard that Master Ge said very caringly, "My lord and the young master have already ordered people to take them to the two rooms respectively. Tonight, the two of you don't have to stay together like today. Crowded together on the same bed."

After all, he smiled apologetically.

Obviously, he was guilty of not being able to clean up the guest room in time during the day.

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

I'm so angry, I still have to keep smiling, "There is Master Lao Ge. My brother can have such a competent and capable master. It's really, really, a blessing for my brother."

Ge Zhou smiled shyly, "Young Master, you are very impressed. It's getting late, so Ge ​​won't disturb the young master's rest."

Tang Xiaotang pushed open the door of the room.

"Yes. Master Ge is also early, so go to bed earlier."

After finishing speaking, he smiled sweetly at Ge Zhou, and closed the door with a "bang".

Ge Zhou: "???"

Tang Xiaotang closed the door and began to look at his guest room.

I have to admit that Master Ge is indeed capable.

Not to mention that the guest room was tidy and clean, even the candles were thoughtfully lit so that he didn't have to come in in the dark.

Tang Xiaotang looked at the bed that he was most concerned about.

The bed in Xie Jinbai's room was already considered small, but the bed in this guest room was even smaller.

Tang Xiaotang sat down beside the bed sullenly.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Someone knocked on the door.

Thinking that Master Ge had something to tell him, Tang Xiaotang went to open the door.

The door opens.

A bright moon hangs high in the courtyard, Xie Jinbai is dressed in white, standing on the stone steps outside the door, smiling at him.

Mingming was overjoyed in his heart, but he still said, "What are you doing here?"

Humph.

When Master Ge wanted to take him to the guest room just now, didn't this man leave without hesitation at all.

Xie Jinbai took a step forward, wrapped his long arms around the young master's waist, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "I'm here to warm the young master's bed."

The author has something to say: Tangtang: The dog man is so good!
