Keyboard Immortal Chapter 1004: Disabled
The group soon came to the county governor's mansion. The officials in Yunzhong County had already arrived, and even Jian Taiding was waiting there ahead of time.
It stands to reason that his master's cultivation, plus the power of his family, are actually above Sang Hong, but he went out of the city to meet him before, and now he is waiting in advance. It really gave the imperial commissioner enough face, and obviously hoped that Sang Hong would later Hongtou reciprocated, and promulgated him the title of Duke Yunzhong as soon as possible.
Zuo Su and Jian Taiding, the governor of Yunzhong County, greeted Sang Hong and his party and walked in, introducing them to the corresponding officials along the way. After all, it was too hasty outside the city before, and only a few people showed their faces.
"This is Mr. Xu Yuxu, don't drive."
"Long time long!"
…
Zuan looked carefully and saw that Xu Yu was a middle-aged man with a purple face and a Chinese character face. He looked more like a good official than Zuo Su, who was a big belly.
Bie Jia is the deputy of the county governor, and also shoulders the responsibility of supervising the county governor and local officials.
Because of his high status, he does not ride in the same carriage with the county governor, but rides alone, so it is called a chariot.
"This is Master Zhizhong Yuxuan Qingyu."
"It turned out to be the clan brother of Lord Zuo Pushe, I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"
Zhongzhong is almost the third-ranking figure in the prefecture and county, in charge of the selection of state and county officials and various matters. Although he is a high-ranking local official, he is not so important to Sang Hong, who is an imperial envoy.
The reason why Sang Hong was so polite was because the old man in front of him belonged to the Yu family. The Yu family mainly had two rooms. One was an official in the center of the imperial court.
The other room is in charge of Yuanshi's family business in Yunzhong County Base Camp. This old man is also from the Xuanzi generation, obviously Yu Xuanchong's brother.
It's just that compared to Yu Xuanchong, Yu Xuanqing in front of him is far worse in terms of cultivation and ability.
The patriarch of Yunzhong County passed away early, and now the family is controlled by the daughter Yu Yanluo, but she is a woman after all. Uncles take care of them, and this Yu Xuanqing in front of him is one of them.
"This is Sima Yuxuansu, the governor of Yunzhong County."
"Long time long!"
…
This Yu Xuansu is also one of the uncles of the Yuyanluo clan. Looking at these two old men, Zuan fell into deep thought. , It is not an exaggeration to say that it covers the sky with one hand.
Zuan looked around, hoping to see if he could see Yu Yanluo, but unfortunately, he didn't see the beautiful figure in his memory.
At this time, Sang Hong also seemed to be thinking about it with him, and found an opportunity to ask: "Hey, why didn't you see Mrs. Yu?"
Of course he is not greedy for the beauty of other people's family, but because now Yu Yanluo is the helm of the Yu family in Yunzhong, and this investigation is about her husband's disappearance, so I want to take the opportunity to ask him about many things.
This is the mustache Jian Taiding and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has been feeling cold recently, so it's not suitable for you to go out to meet guests, please forgive me, Mr. Sang."
Sang Hong smiled: "Of course it's the body that matters." The topic was quickly diverted.
Next, Jian Taiding took Sang Hong to introduce him to the remaining officials, and the others began to greet the rest of the mission.
Like Gao Ying and Pei You are the most lively in front of them. After all, one has the Liu family behind and the other has the Pei family. They are all first-class families in the capital.
The local officials like them naturally have to find a way to befriend the children of such a noble family.
As for Zaan, everyone just politely ignored it, and officials from such a poor clan have never been looked down upon by these clan families.
The biggest weakness of the rise of the underprivileged children is that they can only rely on the emperor's temporary favor. Once the emperor is not happy one day, he will collapse.
The big family is different. There are countless children in the family who are officials in the court, and their strength is intertwined. Even if the emperor does not like it, it is difficult to easily move.
"It's quite realistic." Zaan naturally wouldn't take these to heart, but instead took this opportunity to look at others secretly, especially Pei Shao.
This guy seems to have the intention to match his daughter with the Prince of Qi.
He noticed that there was a young man next to Pei Shao, with slanted eyes and a bit of a roaring head. Naturally, such a person could not be introduced to Sang Hong, but he vaguely heard some low-level officials flattering Pei Shao, this person seemed to be It was Pei Shao's son Pei Xing.
"Da Manman's younger brother?" Zaan frowned. Is this really his own? Da Man Man is as beautiful as a flower, how did the younger brother have such virtue?
Soon a group of people came to the hall. Because of the cold weather, a roaring bonfire was burning in the middle, and there were all kinds of cattle and sheep on it. The golden oil was enticing under the illumination of the candle. The light of the air is filled with the exotic atmosphere mixed with spices and grilled meat.
"Sir Sang, please come to the seat!" Soon it was time to take the seat. Sang Hong was the imperial envoy, so he naturally wanted to sit on the main seat.
Sang Hong glanced around and saw that everyone had placed Pei You and Gao Ying next to him, while Zuan was further away.
Having lived in officialdom for a long time, he naturally understands the rules and regulations. Each seat is not chaotic. It is a tacit understanding formed after hundreds of years of struggle and compromise between major families.
Although Gao Ying and Pei You's official position is temporarily inferior to Za'an, their family power far exceeds that of a poor family like Za'an.
With the operation of family resources, Gao Ying and Pei You will be able to occupy a high position within a few years, so it is reasonable to arrange their seats more ceremoniously.
Reasonable is reasonable, but Sang Hong is unhappy. On the one hand, he was born in a poor family, and he suffered from this kind of humiliation in those days. On the other hand, the relationship between him and Zaan is closer than that of allies. Naturally, I didn't want him to be wronged, so I said lightly, "Azu, sit next to me."
Zuan did his part, of course, and the Golden Sabre Horse sat down beside him.
The hearts of the officials in Yunzhong County stunned, thinking that they seemed to have underestimated the weight of this Zaun before.
At this time, Zuo Su, the county governor, was a little worried. Before, he only arranged two seats next to Sang Hong, one for Gao Ying and one for Pei You, but now Zu An occupies one, what about the remaining two?
He knows very well that this kind of aristocratic family is the most honorable, and no one wants to let it go. When the time comes to fight, what should he do?
No matter how you distribute it, you are destined to offend the other family.
But he was relieved quickly, the position was occupied by Zaan, and even if they wanted to hold grudges, most of them were the ones who held grudges against Zu.
If you come across some grumpy ones, you might clash with Zaun on the spot.
For the big family, the face of the family is more important than anything else, and even the words of the imperial envoy may not be easy to use.
Many officials present had similar thoughts, waiting to see conflicts within them. After all, everyone knew very well that this imperial commissioner was here to investigate them, so each and every one of them wanted their team to have internal conflicts first. stand up.
What surprised them was that Gao Ying and Pei You had no intention of arguing with Zuan at all, and they naturally squeezed in front of another table, as if it was a natural thing in their hearts.
Noticing this scene, Jian Taiding narrowed his eyes and looked at Zaan again.
After the imperial envoy took a seat, others also took a seat.
At this time, there was a commotion not far away, and I saw a big bearded man pointing to an empty seat in the front row: "Who is this seat assigned to?"
The location layout in the hall, Sang Hong is naturally the main seat in the center, there are two rows of seats on the left and right, one is the leader of Jian Taiding, the other is the leader of Zuo Su, which is also in line with their respective positions.
There are not many seats in these two columns. Each seat is a high-level person in Yunzhong County. After them, there are several rows in the outer layer, and those officials are obviously one rank lower.
So being able to sit in the left and right columns is also a reflection of honor and status.
According to the introduction just now, this bearded man seems to be a general in the Dudu's Mansion. Although he is not comparable to the positions of the Governor's Office's Chief History Officer and Sima, he can be regarded as the top of the Dudu's Mansion. Sitting in these two rows of theory It is also barely adequate.
At this moment, he was staring at Biejia Xu Yu angrily, pointing to a vacant seat next to him and questioning.
Obviously, he found himself in the back, quite upset, so he directly attacked.
Sang Hong and Zu'an looked at each other. In Yunzhong County's officialdom, the conflict between the Governor's Mansion and the Prefect's Mansion seems to be bigger than expected.
Xu Yu said lightly: "I have an old friend who visited recently, this is for him."
"Dare to ask what officer is that person?" The big bearded man replied in a stern voice.
Xu Yu frowned, and finally replied: "No official, no job."
The big bearded man laughed and said, "Since he has no office or job, what qualifications does he have to sit here? I want this position!"
After he finished speaking, he sat down and drank the wine glass on the table.
Xu Yu's face sank, and he looked directly at Jian Taiding on the other side: "Lord Jian, this is the position of our county governor's office. Who do we arrange for it, do we need the approval of the people in your governor's office?"
Jian Taiding smiled slightly: "Sir Xu's words are bad, we are all imperial officials, why should we divide you and me? The people of Yunzhong County are sturdy, and the soldiers regard honor as their life. I can't persuade him either, if there is any offense, I hope Lord Xu will take a look at Haihan despite his repeated military exploits."
Zuan curiously communicated with Sang Hong Yuanqi: "Uncle, even if there is a grudge between them, it wouldn't be like this on this occasion? In front of the imperial commissioner, how decent is this."
Sang Hong replied: "They are deliberately trying to disarm me. Xu Yu is an official sent by the central court, and like me, he also represents the court. Jian Taiding's ruthlessness is obviously a shock to the mountains. He also showed a friendly side to me, and now he is showing his fangs, the subtext is that we are knowledgeable and cooperative, and he will be friendly enough to us; if we are not knowledgeable, I am afraid this Xu Yu's dilemma is what we will encounter in the future."
"I'm afraid this Xu Yu is destined to lose face today." Zaan felt a little sympathetic, because he subconsciously didn't like Jian Taiding very much when Mingyue became a suburb.
Sang Hong smiled: "That's not necessarily true."
