Cars rattle, horses rustle, and pedestrians bow and arrow at their waist.
Ye Niang and his wife walked to see each other off, and the dust disappeared from the ancient Anhui bridge.
The young children chanted sad ballads. With Yan Guangbo's narration, a hell full of starvation victims had a clear picture in Xiao Zimu's mind.
Early summer, is that why you let me come to ancient Anhui?
He wanted to see what kind of faces the inhuman officials here looked like.
"Seeing that the people in the city were hungry and had to eat earth to die, the Yin of ancient Anhui was really good." Xiao Zimu always has a warm face and clear eyes.
At this time, there was also an uncontrollable anger.
"Yes, those who died after eating guanyintu are thin and thin, but their stomachs are extremely swollen. I heard that everyone's death is like a woman with six-year-old pregnancy. I can't even think about changing children to eat." Yan Guangbo couldn't bear it.
Xinya followed behind and listened to it. She was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to kill directly into the government office with her sword.
"Who is the official Yin of ancient Anhui now?" Xiao Zimu never inquired about it.
Originally, he didn't even plan to go to the government office.
"Zheng Zhongguang, Zheng Fuyin." Yin Guangbo naturally knew it. When Xiao Zimu asked, he replied.
The three came to the gate of the government all the way. Yin Guangbo asked Xiao Zimu for instructions: "young master, shall we beat the drum or report our identity?"
"It's not ironic to put the drum here." Xiao Zimu snorted coldly and then said to Yin Guangbo, "go and pass it on and say that you are coming to take office."
Yin Guangbo answered the voice and went to pass it on.
As a result, there was no one in the mansion except a few yamen soldiers at the door.
After asking, I found out that today is the full moon wine, the third son of Lord Fuyin.
Tongzhi, garrison, regiment training, Dujian, Sima, master bookkeeper, joining the army, and so on. Even the county yamen, three classes and six rooms at the bottom went to congratulate Xi.
Yin Guangbo asked the way and led Xiao Zimu to the mansion.
Xiao Zimu's journey was like the calm before the storm, silent and terrible.
Before they arrived at the mansion, they heard the sound of Sheng, drum and spring two blocks away. The gongs and drums were noisy and very lively.
The wine and meat of Zhumen are really smelly. There are starving bones on the road.
"Yan Zhouzhi, you have to congratulate Lord Zheng's son on his full moon wine." Xiao Zimu listened to the sound of musical instruments and gave orders to Yin Guangbo.
"I understand." Yin Guangbo straightened his face and made an official salute.
"Don't identify me first, but this temple will support you." Xiao Zimu was cold and ordered in a deep voice.
Yin Guangbo looked up and saw the sharp cold light in Xiao Zimu's eyes for the first time. The eyes were powerful and sharp.
He said yes, full of confidence in his heart, raised his hand and strode towards the door of Zheng's house.
But Yin Guangbo's imposing manner hasn't lasted long.
When he arrived at the decorated door, he was stopped by the housekeeper.
"Where's the gift money?" The servant frowned coldly.
Yin Guangbo was stunned when he asked, then he looked cold and said, "the lower official is the state judge who came to take office. The gift will be given to Lord Zheng in person."
"Gift is gift, and gift money is gift money. I don't understand this worldly wisdom. Why do you come to ancient Anhui to take office?" The servant turned his mouth and looked disdainful.
The green veins on Yin Guangbo's forehead jumped, and he endured his anger and said, "the humble position has just come to an end this year, and there may be omissions in his first official position. This little brother is accommodating and asks the lower officer to go in first and apologize in person."
"Wait." The servant smiled contemptuously and gave a cold explanation to him.
"What a powerful official. Even the servants at the door are so arrogant. At least it's a seven grade state judgment." Yin Guangbo turned bitterly and smiled at Xiao Zimu.
Xin Ya behind Xiao Zimu held his hand on the hilt of the sword as early as the servant asked for the first gift money.
Had it not been for Xiao Zimu's eyes to stop him, Zheng's house at this time would have seen blood.
"Stay close and don't walk around." After a while, the servant ran back and told them what they disliked.
The three were too lazy to talk nonsense with him and followed him into the mansion.
The government yard is huge and can be seen at a glance.
Zheng Fuyin's family alone has 60 or 70 people, plus about 50 guests to celebrate.
Thirteen tables were set up in the originally empty courtyard, which were arranged in an orderly manner.
At this time, the banquet has not yet opened, but it is already full of guests, gongs and drums, singing and dancing.
Xiao Zimu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the murderous intention surged in the depths of his eyes, like a tsunami rising from the bottom of the sea, which was raging and waiting to be swept out.
He had never been so desperate.
In this house, the Sheng pipe is blown, the reed is vibrated, and the basket is held for a thoughtful gift.
Outside the house, wild vegetables and roots are selected for cooking, and firewood is cooked with leaves.
Seeing that they were silent, the servant who led the way thought they were stunned by such a grand scene. After laughing, he pointed to Yin Guangbo: "your table is in the middle of the end. After giving a gift to Lord Zheng, don't go wrong."
Yin Guangbo said "Hmm" in a stuffy voice, followed him into the yard and walked to Zheng Zhongguang's side.
"Lord Zheng, the new state has been sentenced." The servant told Zheng Zhongguang.
Zheng Zhongguang was telling the boy to carry the gift to the back at this time, and then followed a man to say hello: "the child's full moon wine cost Lord PU."
Yin Guangbo heard that his surname was Pu, so he guessed that it was Pu Youren, the governor of Wuzhou.
"Lord Zheng is really a servant. Thanks to Lord Zheng's help, you can have today's humble position." Pu Youren has a modest face.
"Lord Zheng, I'm the new governor Yin Guangbo." Seeing that Zheng Zhongguang ignored him, Yin Guangbo had to report his identity again.
Zheng Zhongguang glanced at Yin Guangbo and gave a slightly frowned "um".
"Send it quickly!" The usher winked at him and couldn't help reminding him.
Why is this man so unruly? He should have given gifts first and then reported to himself.
Yin Guangbo looked at Zheng Zhongguang and couldn't help smiling. He waved his hands in front of him and asked, "Lord Zheng, is this gift still suitable for you?"
At this time, people in twos and threes had gathered and formed a circle. All adults were confused when they watched him wave his sleeves, and they looked at Zheng Zhongguang in the twinkling of an eye.
Zheng Zhongguang's face was already sullen, and his tone was also thin and angry. "What does Yan Zhou judge?"
"Lord Zheng, can't you understand this?" Yin Guangbo said sarcastically.
With Yin Guangbo's sarcasm, the onlookers took a breath, but more and more people came to hear the sound, and soon there was no shortage of people.
Yin Guangbo glanced at the adults and finally fell on Zheng Zhongguang's eyes that were about to burst out fire.
His handsome face pulled out a decent smile, but his voice was cold and lukewarm.
"This is a gift from the lower official. You have clean arms."
