Patrol's sweetheart baby

Soon, the storyteller, old man Wang, was brought up.

Early this morning, while he was still washing in the yard, he heard from Li Huan's family that there was a distinguished guest.

The man gave him a full ingot of silver, and asked him to go to Fengle Tower today to tell such an "interesting anecdote from the former dynasty".

He recognized who the inspector and the young master were referring to in the story, and was worried that it would cause trouble, so he planned to refuse, but the woman was short-sighted and took the silver ingots first.

The young man dressed as a follower had already slipped away while he was arguing with his wife, even if he wanted to return the silver, he would not be able to return it.

Forced to accept this job, I had to go to the designated place with trepidation and tell this story.

"The villain Wang Jiu pays his respects to all the adults."

The old man bowed his hands in fear and reverence, and bowed deeply to the masters in the box, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

It's over, it's over.

If it is ignorant money, you can't accept it!

The old man didn't know Xie Jinbai, but he knew King Ning Ji Yunfei who sat on several local officials and was dressed in scarlet robes.

In this room, Xie Jinbai is the only familiar face, and his appearance is the most eye-catching.Not to mention anything else, even such an ordinary box, because of the existence of this person, shone like gold leaf, and it really became radiant as described in the script.

The old man knew that this was the "Yan surname" inspector coming to his door, what should I do? !

Including old man Wang himself, everyone in the box unanimously decided that the old man was going to be in bad luck today.

It's also the old man's bad luck. He said that the content is not good, so why call him Wang Jiu!

Everyone in the world doesn't know that the current one is also ranked ninth?

Regardless of whether Wang Jiu is the number nine or not, it sounds the same pronunciation anyway.

The officials lowered their heads to drink their tea, not daring to look at the expression on the face of the young inspector who was at the same table with them.

So much so that when Xie Jinbai not only didn't embarrass the old man, but ordered Xiao Zishu to reward the old man with a piece of silver on the grounds that the old man's storytelling was very exciting, none of them dropped their jaws in shock.

Of course, all the people here are human beings, and no one showed the astonishment in their hearts.

"Old man Wang, why don't you hurry up and thank the master for the reward?"

Shopkeeper Shi lightly touched the elbow of Wang Jiu, who was stunned, and reminded in a low voice anxiously.

The old man never expected that he could escape this catastrophe this time!

As if waking up from a dream, he hurriedly took the silver reward Xiao Zishu handed over respectfully with both hands, and kowtowed to Xie Jinbai, "Thank you, master, thank you, master!"

Old man Wang thankfully followed the shopkeeper and left.

that's it? !

Ji Yunfei's eyes widened.

Xie Jinbai didn't get mad yesterday, did he?

All the officials present could see Ji Yunfei's thoughts, and it was impossible for Xie Jinbai not to see it.

Stupid, can't even hide his mind!

I don't know how this idiot became a famous general guarding the frontier in his previous life. Is it all because of the idiot's stupidity?

In her previous life, Ji Yunfei also designed such a thing, Xie Jinbai was not fooled, and after two lifetimes in this life, it is even more impossible to get angry and be fooled by such a naive act on the spot.

"Thank you King Ning for your hospitality today, but I still have official duties, so please forgive me for not being more present, and I will leave first."

Xie Jinbai got up, and cupped her hands at Ji Yunfei.

What else could Ji Yunfei say?

Chun'an is mountainous and close to the sea, and because it is located in the south, it is rainy, and the Meiyu period is long.

During the flood season, the river surges and the seawater floods back, and the people living near the Chizhang River suffer unspeakably.

This time, Xie Jinbai was ordered to come to Chun'an to urge local officials to control the water, and he was in office.

Flood control and flood control are a major matter of people's livelihood, Xie Jinbai wants to leave because of this, even if Ji Yunfei is a prince, it is not good to force him to stay.

Besides, he didn't really invite Xie Xunyin to eat this meal at all, he arranged for people to tell stories and invited "spectators", wasn't it just for more people to read Xie Huaiyu's jokes?

Who ever thought that this person didn't accept the offer at all? !

Ji Yunfei smiled, showing her white teeth, "Of course it's business matters. It's really a blessing for the local people to have a conscientious patrol like Huaiyu for the people of Chun'an."

Xie Jinbai smiled faintly, "That's ridiculous."

I'm not really praising you!

Ji Yunfei was so angry that she wanted to lift the table, but she still had to keep a smile on her face, "Huaiyu, you are being modest."

"My lords."

Xie Jinbai looked around at the crowd and smiled, "I wonder if you are all full? If you are full, would it be convenient for you to accompany me to the Chizhang River on the outskirts of the city?"

According to the current dynasty, among the officials present, except for Xie Jinbai, who was the inspector of the seventh rank, the lowest official rank was all from the fifth rank. Xie Jinbai really had to call himself a subordinate official in front of these officials.

Xie Jinbai claimed to be an inferior official, how dare the few officials sitting here dare to take Joe?

The inspector from the capital is also a busy person next to the emperor, so his rank is nothing!

The dishes on the table, except for Xie Jinbai who piled up a hill in front of the table, the food in front of the others was not touched at all.

But Xie Xun pressed the message, how could the officials have the nerve to say that they were not full?

"Of course, of course."

The officials got up one after another and bid farewell to King Ning Ji Yunfei.

Ji Yunfei originally invited these officials to dinner so that more people could see Xie Jinbai's jokes, but now the good show is only going off, and he is angry. The people in the room bowed their hands to say goodbye, and followed Xie Jinbai out with a whoosh.

"Damn! Xie Huaiyu is hateful!"

Not only is it hateful, it is simply hateful!Standing at the window and seeing Xie Jinbai walking out of Fengle Building with a group of officials, Ji Yunfei turned around and kicked the corner of the table vigorously.

The dishes on the table collided with each other, making a "clang bang" sound.

Ji Yunfei lifted the hem of her clothes and kicked violently. The cups and round bowls on the edge of the table finally became unstable.

Ji Yunfei still couldn't let go of his hatred, so he simply turned the table over.

Hearing the crackling sound like firecrackers in his ears, Ji Yunfei laughed wildly, "Hahaha, happy, happy!"

Fuck it!

No matter how Ji Yunfei got angry in the private room, making the shopkeeper of Fengle Building frown, the officials who accompanied Xie Jinbai to inspect the flood control dam of the Chizhang River in the suburbs of Chun'an were not much better.

Originally, the officials thought that Xie Jinbai's resignation on the grounds of official business was just an excuse. After leaving the Fengle Building, they could go back to their respective homes, each looking for its own gentle hometown, Xie Yuhua.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xunyong was so "real" at such a young age. Yesterday, the magistrate of Tang Dynasty "received the wind and cleans up the dust" for him in Zhaohui Building. Today, he was asked to bring him to inspect the Chizhang River and supervise the flood control embankment of the Chizhang River. project progress!

This is the real reason why Xie Jinming still went to the banquet knowing that there was no good banquet for Ji Yunfei.

He knew this group of officials too well. If the banquet was organized in his name, these officials must have guessed that it was related to water control and flood control, and they would definitely make many excuses.

Only the banquets organized by idle princes like Ji Yunfei, these people are the most active.

These people don't care about flood control and water control.

Because the Chizhang River is close to the mouth of the sea, it will flood every year in late summer and early autumn.

The imperial court allocates funds and opens warehouses for disaster relief every year.

The local government allocates funds to develop the river bank and build embankments for flood control, but the Chizhang River still bursts its embankments every year, and the floods are raging.

During his 35-year reign, Emperor Xingde devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and had no intention of governing the country.

Most of the money allocated for flood control and embankment and disaster relief went into the pockets of the officials who handled it, and very little was actually used to relieve the victims.

Ji Yunqing is an ambitious and aspiring emperor. He is determined to revive the court and make a few decent political achievements. Apart from the so-called welfare of the so-called people on the surface, the most important reason is that he wants to use his political achievements. To the Empress Dowager Xi, who is listening to politics behind the curtain, really wants to return to the power of governing the country.

Emperor Xingde ignored the government affairs, and the government affairs had been in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xi and Guojiu and other relatives for many years. This situation has not changed much even if Ji Yunqing inherits the Datong now.

Send Xie Jinbai to patrol Chun'an to urge local officials to control water and prevent floods. The most important task is to supervise local officials to build a stronger waterproof dam on top of the original dam of the Chizhang River, so that the people along the river will no longer be disturbed by floods. suffering.

Water control and flood control are related to people's livelihood. Once successful, it will undoubtedly be a major achievement, and it will naturally add political weight to the imperial party!

It can be said that Xie Jinbai's visit to Chun'an has a very important political purpose behind it.

Xie Jinbai suddenly proposed to inspect the progress of the reconstruction of the Chishui River dam. Although this move was unexpected by the officials, fortunately, the officials were not really unprepared.

But seeing the river workers on the embankment and dam with bare upper body, carrying sack after bag of sacks from the bank to the embankment, and the officials in blue robes seriously urging the progress, the picture is orderly and harmonious .

Tongzhi Liu Lihuai stroked his beard and exchanged a tacit look with Tongju Yang Yi.

The other officials also looked relaxed.

This year, the imperial court suddenly changed its style from previous years and dispatched this Xie Yushi to inspect Chun'an. Although this move was beyond the expectations of the local officials, fortunately, the embankment was inspected and rebuilt by the Water Division in the beginning of spring. , there is no hindrance, just follow the patrol.

However, when Xie Jinbai walked towards the middle and lower reaches, the relaxed expressions on the faces of the officials disappeared, and even Liu Lihuai and Yang Yi also had a flash of panic in their eyes.

"Thank you Xunyin, it has just rained in the past two days, and the road is muddy and slippery, how about—"

"It doesn't matter. If Liu Tongzhi is worried that the pair of black-patterned boots on his feet will be dirty, he might as well wait here for his subordinates."

Xie Jinbai turned around, looked around at the accompanying officials behind him and said, with a warm smile on his lips, "It's the same for all adults, if you have the same worries as Liu Tongzhi, you can stay here with Xie Tongzhi."

Liu Lihuai could only say embarrassingly, "Old man, this old man didn't mean that."

The other accompanying officials also showed embarrassment.

Xie Jinbai continued to walk forward with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his lips.

No matter how reluctant the officials were, they had no choice but to follow along anxiously.
