When Chen Kaizhi stepped forward to see the ceremony, County Magistrate Zhu's dim face relaxed a little, and he smiled and said, "Kaizhi, why weren't you here yesterday? You only came after asking for help."

Chen Kaizhi quickly saluted and said, "Students are ashamed."

County Magistrate Zhu had no intention of being concerned, but just smiled and said, "You happened to be here. The prefect has already taken office. The county has already visited the visit yesterday. Today, the prefect will meet the gentry in Jinling and Xuanwu counties. It is considered to be a reflection of the people's sentiments. Kaizhi, no one in this county will take you, just take you there."

Chen Kaizhi knew this.

The prefect of Jinling is the largest parent official in Jinling. Now that he has taken office, he must meet with some local people in Jinling first. This first side is very important. This is not only a test of the character of this prefect, but also an opportunity for the prefect to find out the basics.

To put it bluntly, this is a sorority.

The people brought by each county are either important gentry in the local area, some official families, or some young heroes, there will always be one by one.

County Magistrate Zhu only took him there, which was obviously intended to leave a deep impression on the prefect.

Chen Kaizhi said in surprise: "Congratulations, sir."

County Magistrate Zhu laughed and said, "Congratulations? What are you congratulating?"

Chen Kaizhi said: "Uh... the student said casually."

County Magistrate Zhu looked at Chen Kaiyi deeply, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

This congratulations cannot be said explicitly. The county magistrate only takes him there, and there are so many gentry in Jiangning, so why don’t they complain? But the county magistrate Zhu doesn’t care about it, what does this mean?

Chen Kaizhi's prediction was that the magistrate Zhu County was very likely to rise, which was his last period of time in Jiangning County. At this time, local officials often began to alienate local gentry, in order to avoid suspicion, to show that they were fair and strict, and not favor local gentry. On the other hand, everyone has nothing to do in the future, and there is no need to look at the faces of local gentry in everything.

I'm going to be promoted.

County Magistrate Zhu must have insider information, and there must be someone above him, but he doesn’t know who the person above is?

There is no more things in the officialdom than Chen Kaizhi can speculate on, and he just smiled.

The magistrate of Zhu County ordered people to prepare sedan chairs and take Chen Kaizhi to the prefect's office. This prefect's office that had been empty for a long time is now full of vitality and can be said to be crowded with people.

He was led into the yamen by someone, and the magistrate Zhu took the lead and Chen Kaizhi followed him. Here, he met many acquaintances from various counties.

Many people are quite intimate with Chen Kaizhi and they all greet each other. Chen Kaizhi became famous because of the Tianwen incident and gained a lot of favor. Of course, you must not be proud of yourself at this time. You are busy with the gifts that are humble.

When the magistrate of Xuanwu Zheng saw Chen Kaizhi, he looked at Chen Kaizhi with a teasing look, and then said to the magistrate of Zhu: "Brother Zhu only brought Kaizhi to see the magistrate of the Mansion. Do you really take Kaizhi as a treasure?"

The tone of Zheng County Magistrate was sour, but he said: "This prefect, it is said that the person who was the most disliked by the talented scholar in charge of Ma Zheng before was the one who was the talented man in charge of the country. Kaizhi, did you not tell me about it?"

This clearly means to sow discord, but Chen Kaizhi was not annoyed at all. Instead, he saluted him calmly: "The students are just here to come and visit him. The servants are happy or not, but do not value them."

The magistrate Zheng laughed in silence, and everyone entered the main hall while talking.

When Chen Kaizhi looked up, he saw the person kneeling in the head, his eyes were a little straight.

This...is the prefect?

But he was wearing an old robe, said to be only forty years old, but his face was as sunburned as carbon black. He looked carefully, with a solemn expression on his face, his eyes were as lightning, and he looked serious.

The people who came to visit were either rich or noble, and the second most was also wearing silk. Chen Kaizhi was relatively simple, but at least he was also a Confucian shirt and a Lun Scarf. He looked clean and decent.

On the contrary, this mansion master seemed out of place. It was like a group of nobles who had a poor family, but this man who seemed both shabby and poor was the head of the mansion in this church.

Everyone greeted each other.

The Duke of the Mansion barely squeezed out some smiles and said with a strong local accent: "Oh, there is no need to be too polite. I don't respect politeness, so just sit down."

Everyone found their own seats to sit down.

The Duke did not greet everyone, and said directly: "I am named Bao, with a single name of the word "Tiger". In the future, whether you call Bao Fu Zun or Lord Bao, I am a person who is not particular about the details. I am very happy to see you today."

Are you happy? You are not happy at all, at least on his face, it seems that everyone owes him a sum of money.

But many of them were old-fashioned, so they didn't put their thoughts on their faces.

At this time, the magistrate of Zheng County hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I have heard that Lord Bao is honest and upright. It is fortunate for the people of the lower ranks to be honest. It is even more fortunate for the people of Jinling to learn that the Lord is governing Jinling. The thousands of soldiers and civilians are all happy. According to the opinions of the lower ranks, I am afraid that it will take not long before Jinling will be able to be governed. The whole world will be celebrated together. How happy, how happy!"

So everyone nodded and said yes, and the atmosphere began to rise.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sit down under the head of the magistrate Zhu County, thinking to himself: "This is a really pleasant day."

Prefect Bao actually pulled down his face and said, "But the magistrate of Xuanwu Zhu?"

"No, no, no, the lower official's surname is Zheng." The magistrate of Zheng County said happily.

Prefect Bao suddenly sneered and said, "I have not yet taken office and have not yet begun to govern one side. How can the soldiers, civilians and others celebrate together?"

"Ah..." The magistrate Zheng was speechless and could not answer.

Prefect Bao then sternly said: "What I hate the most is the vulgar customs of the officialdom, and I don't know what it means. Although I am also a Jinshi, I hate this trick the most. If someone does this, I will never be merciless."

Uh, the atmosphere... suddenly became solemn.

Chen Kaizhi really looked straight, but he was slapped in the face when he reached out to slap his hand?

The magistrate of Zheng County suddenly seemed to be losing his parents, and seemed to feel like he was not in good condition in the passing years and did not read the calendar when he went out.

Prefect Bao squinted his eyes, with a solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "It was the first time we met, and I shouldn't be so bad. But since I came here, for any party, I would like to say something in front of me first. I have been here for two days and have inspected the place in a very quiet way. No wonder everyone said that Jiangnan is good, but in my opinion, there is a sense of debauchery here. The officials above and below have lost all their energy. The people do not value education. It seems to be a peaceful world, but in fact it is a hidden dirt and filth that cannot be seen!"
