 …

Yangzhou prefecture has outstanding people, and there have been many celebrities since ancient times.

And Liu Bixian, the former right servant of the Ministry of Rites, is one of them.

As a retired veteran cadre, Liu Bixian's life in his hometown in Yangzhou Prefecture is quite good.

In the early morning, two young maidservants were serving him to get dressed. When their bodies touched, a youthful breath of a girl rushed to his face.

Liu Bixian was slightly chubby, his cloudy eyes were fixed on the door, and the wrinkles on his face wriggled as the towel was wiped.

The two maids endured the old man's smell coming from him, and they finished dressing for half pay.

"ha!"

Liu Bixian's throat throbbed, and a maid beside him quickly knelt down and offered the spittoon.

The outside of the spittoon was inlaid with gold and silver, but Liu Bixian didn't care about it at all, so he spit into it with a pop.

The servant girl's face was splashed with droplets, but she didn't dare to wipe it off, and only waited for Liu Bixian to spit a few mouthfuls before getting up and going out.

The maid just went out, but the housekeeper Liu Chengcheng came in.

"Master, the money from those families has already been delivered last night. The old slave saw that it was too late, so he didn't tell you."

Liu Pixian's squinted eyes opened sharply, and the light disappeared in a flash, and then he returned to his old-fashioned appearance. He said lightly: "Come on, this person is taking a break! The relationship between the court and China must not be lost, you Go to the warehouse to find something, and when you come back, the old man has a list, and you send it by head."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Cheng left in a hurry, and after Liu Bixian ate a bowl of tremella porridge, he began to walk in the inner courtyard with a cane.

After walking a few laps, Liu Bixian felt that enough was enough, and was about to go back when he saw his elder son Liu Shanren walking quickly.

Liu Shanren, who is in his thirties, has a ruddy complexion.

Strong feet. He walked over quickly, greeted him, and said with a smile: "Father, those three people invited the son to dinner last night. They were a little relieved in their words, and the son gave a few words of warning. I think they will be more respectful in the future."

Liu Bixian stood still, looked at the eaves and said slowly: "Those people are dogs, they have to be beaten a few times from time to time, and those who have different intentions are dealt with directly!"

"Yes, father."

Liu Shanren bowed in response, and then prepared to go back.

"etc!"

Liu Bixian pondered for a while and said, "How is the new magistrate Lei Bin these days?"

Liu Shanren smiled and said: "Follow the rules, it seems that I have another competent magistrate in Yangzhou Prefecture!"

The father and son smiled slightly, but Liu Cheng rushed in from the courtyard door, and said anxiously: "Master, Eldest Young Master, that uncle Xinghe from last time is here again."

Liu Shanren's body shook, and he hurriedly asked, "What is he doing here?"

"Benbo's trip is ordered to check the atmosphere of Yangzhou Mansion."

In the government office of Yangzhou, Fang Xing was talking with Lei Bin, the new magistrate.

Lei Bin was in his forties, with three dark beards drooping down, looking calm and majestic, quite official.

"Xiaguan arrived not long ago, thank you Xing and Bo for cleaning up last time, it saved Xiaguan a lot of trouble!"

Fang Xing nodded and said with a smile: "The opening of the canal is imminent. The prefect of Yangzhou is the key point. Prefect Lei is in charge of this place. It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to it. This uncle also asks Prefect Lei to help me a lot during this trip."

"It should be, it should be."

Lei Bin picked up the teacup and offered tea with a smile.

Daming didn't have any rules about serving tea to see off guests, but Fang Xing got up and said, "Benbo still has to go around, so I'll take my leave first."

Arching hands, Fang Xing strode away.

Holding the teacup, Lei Bin followed Fang Xing's back with his eyes, and took a slow sip when he was out of sight. With a faint sigh, I don't know whether to be sad or happy.

Fang Xing walked out of the mansion, more than ten riders rushed over, Xiaodao and Fang Wu immediately stood in front of him, shouting: "Stop!"

More than a dozen horses stopped in front of Fang Wu, Xiao Dao saw the man leading the way, and whispered to Fang Xing, "Master, this man is the official from the Ministry of Rites who was knocked out last time."

Zhao Bu also saw Fang Xing, remembering that he was beaten unconscious last time, and then the entire Oirat Mission disappeared. He didn't know whether to be grateful or resentful.

What is grateful is Fang Xing's mercy, but what is resentful is...

"Uncle Xinghe, the next official will go to Wala as an envoy."

Fang Xing nodded, and said in relief: "Thanks for your hard work, Wala is being pushed very hard by Alutai at this time, you should wait until this trip is safe and secure."

Zhao Bu nodded. The Ministry of Rites had already conducted these situational analyzes a long time ago, so his trip was regarded as compensation, and he gained a seniority upon his return.

"You can pay attention to Mahamu's descendants. If it is convenient, it is best to collect information on Mahamu's family. I will tell the grandson later."

Zhao Bu nodded and agreed, this is just a trivial matter, he can do it naturally.

...

Fang Xing temporarily lives in Ma Shengcai's place, which occupies a large area, and can accommodate three hundred households.

As for the rest, Fang Xing arranged to go to Yu's farm outside the city.

Back at the residence, Huang Zhong was already waiting.

"Uncle, I walked around the city today, and the people all said that the new prefect is good, at least it doesn't disturb the people."

"Is it a good official not to disturb the people?"

Fang Xing sat on the chair and saw only a knife at the door, so he asked, "Where's Fang Wu?"

Xiaodao said with a grin, "Master, Fifth Brother seems to have taken a fancy to a girl, and he is courting her!"

what rice?

Fang Xing was startled.

Fang Wu is not young anymore, and his parents have told him about marriage, but this guy doesn't even look down on him.

"who is it?"

Xiaodao gloated and said: "That girl is called Dadai, she is dumb, she likes to read story books every day, and she will cry every now and then."

Tsk!

Fang Xing felt a bit of toothache, this was clearly the kind of girl who was sad about the spring and autumn, and who was almost the same as Lin Daiyu.

Putting this matter aside, Fang Xing ordered: "Let Lao Qi send someone to keep an eye on the three families, report any changes in time, and... keep an eye on Lei Bin!"

Huang Zhong was startled, "Uncle, this Lei Bin has just arrived, so he probably won't..."

Fang Xing recalled the conversation with Lei Bin today, frowned and said: "Don't underestimate the wrists of those salt merchants, if he didn't touch him, it's just to be prepared, if he did...hehe!"

Corrupt officials never die, only more hidden!

"Who is dumb?"

After finishing the business, Fang Xing was a little curious that Fang Wu, who had a high vision, would actually fall.

Xiaodao went to send a message, but Huang Zhong didn't know.

"I gonna go see."

Fang Xing took a stroll in the front yard with some bad taste.

This place used to be Ma Shengcai's place, but since Fang Xing took Ma Shengcai, it has been vacant.

Because the case is not yet over, the Yangzhou government has arranged for a family to take care of the mansion.

Behind the gatehouse in the front yard is a row of wing rooms, which used to be the residence of the servants in the front yard of the Ma family.

After seeing Fang Xing, the porter's old horse came out with a big smile, "Uncle, are you going out?"

Fang Xing shook his head, saw Fang Wu staring at the outside of a side room, and asked, "Old Ma, who is yours?"

The old horse said with a smile on his face: "Daidai was brought up by the younger one, and he originally wanted to ration it to the younger son, but..."

Both of them looked at Fang Wu who was laughing outside the room. Fang Xing felt that the night was long and dreamy, so he said, "Old Ma, betroth Dadai to Benbo's servant, you don't have to pay the dowry, and Benbo has some hard work to pay for you." Home, is it possible?"

"no!"

When Fang Xing moved in, someone gave Lao Ma a piece of silver, so when he heard that there was a lot of hard work, although he was a little bit reluctant, he finally wanted to agree.

With silver, what kind of girl can't find it?

When Fang Xing turned his head, he saw Ma Chengcai, Lao Ma's eldest son, standing behind him with a face full of righteous indignation.

"Get out! There's no place for you to talk here!"

Old Ma was afraid of offending Fang Xing, and even more worried that he would not get his hard work money, so he dragged Ma Chengcai to the side to mutter.

"My son! You can't farm when you are dumb, and you look weak and weak all day long. You can't have this kind of daughter-in-law! Don't worry, Dad will find a matchmaker right away, and I will definitely find you a daughter-in-law who is easy to raise and bring back. ,ah!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chengcai asked, "Father, where does our family have money?"

The old horse turned around to look at Fang Xing, felt that he couldn't hear him, and said in a low voice: "My son, this uncle is very generous, don't worry, he can't run away."

Ma Chengcai was overjoyed when he heard it, and said happily, "Father, I was reluctant to stay in a daze for a long time, but luckily I didn't make it! I want the second sister of the Fan family on Dongjie..."
