Chapter 334: Take office

Chen Ao returned to the cabin with a letter and tore open the mud. Cai Jing's handwriting was vividly revealed on the paper. There were only some reminiscence words in front of it. It was seen between the lines that Jin Shaowen was a disciple of Cai Jing. Therefore, he asked about some books Jin Shaowen had been reading recently. After changing the subject, he wrote about some physical matters. It seemed that Cai Jing was quite content with the status quo and was very happy after retiring.

Then, Cai Jing explained a few more words about Zhou Qing, saying that Zhou Qing was also a hero, and asked him to take care of him. The last paragraph was written about Chen Ao, and the writing was very taboo, but said, "I look at Chen Ao, and this person will be a big trouble in the future. You can take care of yourself."

The word "self-indulgence" is very interesting. Chen Ao thought about it and found out from the writing that Jin Shaowen is Cai Jing's close friend. Since this is the case, he is willing to go to the wrong place with Cai Jing. Then Cai Jing's self-indulgence has a bit of a sense of action.

Chen Ao sighed, Zhou Zheng and Yang Jian were right, Cai Jing would not attack him easily, but it was not impossible to deal with others. There was a Zhou Qing in the county government office, and a Jin Shaowen in the Xianshi, one was his colleague and the other was his boss. It was not impossible to play tricks.

but……

Chen Ao smiled and said, Zhou Qing was missing, and it was still a question whether he could come back alive. As for how to deal with this Jin Shaowen?

There is! Chen Ao had an idea, took the paper and pen, thought for a while, and then started writing. The running script he used was Cai Jing's font. Cai Jing's character was despised, but his calligraphy was famous in later generations. Writing the font of Cai is also considered Chen Ao's specialty. Unless Cai Jing himself, no one can see the flaws.

Chen Ao copied some words according to the original text, all of which were said in the tone of Cai Jing to his disciples, but some of the contents were deliberately misinterpreted. For example, when Cai Jing said that when he said that Zhou Qing, he changed from appreciation to disgust, and when he said that Chen Ao, he just said a few irrelevant words. At the end of the signature, he added a few inexplicable obscure words.

After the pen was finished, Chen Ao was quite proud while blowing the ink marks. Humph, is Jin Shaowen? My buddy can't kill Cai Jing, let's do it first.

The beauty of this letter is that no one can tell the difference from the handwriting, and the tone used in the letter is no different from Cai Jing, so Jin Shaowen will never doubt it.

After writing the letter, Chen Ao's eyes fell on the torn sealing mud, and he was very happy. Sealing mud? Haha, my buddy hasn't carved a seal for a long time, so I have to find a carrot first.

He didn't sleep all night, so he found a carrot from the bottom cabin and returned to the cabin carving. No one was more capable of making fakes than him. When the skylight woke up, Cai Jing's private seal was made. He asked someone to take the ink paste and carefully apply a layer on the mouth of the envelope. Then he stamped it with a carrot print. A mark was completed. He put it on the table and put it dry, and then fell asleep.

The weather has been calm these days. After entering the Huaishi River, the Huashi Shibo has been moving south and crossing the Yangtze River, Qiantang River, and Hangzhou are already vivid in sight. It took only less than ten days to come all the way. This is due to the canal built by Emperor Yang of Sui. On the other hand, the Huashi Shibo is rampant and his speed is much faster. When he arrived at Qiantang Wharf, the merchant ships that were about to leave the wharf saw the Huashi Shibo and turned back one by one, but could not retreat. When the Huashi Shibo became stable and put down the sampan, he then drove out of the waterway excitedly. The power of the Hangzhou Construction Bureau can be seen.

After getting off the boat, no one came to welcome him because no one came to report in advance. The county town of Qiantang County is adjacent to Renhe County, and the urban area part just formed the entire Hangzhou city. Although it was divided into two counties, the neighbors were actually intertwined, and many places could no longer tell who was whose jurisdiction.

There were many people on the pier, and there was no end to see the pier. Fortunately, this pier was only for flower stone boats, so the pier that was one meter wide extends to the pier, and there were no pedestrians. Chen Ao had many houses, so he helped Chun'er down and ordered people to move down the utensils. The people on the flower stone boats also came down to help, which was quite flattering. Then he asked someone to hire a few big cars, and finally he could make a trip.

Throughout the journey, everything I saw and heard was very lively. There were many shops along the street, which was even more lively than Bianjing. Chen Ao first taught his family to the county government, and he only took the young monk and Cheng Hui all the way. Cheng Hui said with emotion: "Everyone said that Jiangnan is good. When I see you today, it really opened my eyes. I really want to be an official here for the rest of my life and never go back."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I'm afraid it may not be possible. At that time, Brother Cheng will have to leave if he doesn't leave."

The two of them were talking and laughing, and their depressed mood was relieved along the way. The three yamen of Hangzhou Prefecture, Renhe County and Qiantang County were adjacent to each other and were located at the junction of Qiantang and Renhe. Therefore, the place seemed much more solemn. The two of them arrived at Qiantang County first. Cheng Hui changed the bag and bowed to Chen Ao: "Brother Chen, see you again."

Chen Ao nodded, said he took care of each other, and then walked forward a few hundred steps. The Renhe County Government Office arrived. The county government offices in the world were almost the same. Several ritual gates stood in a heavy manner, solemn and solemn, the Shengyu Pavilion, the People's Notices, and the Zhongjie Archway was mottled. Chen Ao's family had already arrived one step ahead. Therefore, the minor official at the door stretched his back straight. When one of them saw Chen Ao coming, he immediately stopped him: "Hey, boy, the county magistrate will be in office today. I will not accept any lawsuits. Go away quickly."

Chen Ao smiled and took out the paper fan around his waist and shook it. The fresh water on the boat was insufficient, and even drinking was very luxurious. Except for some to supply family members, Chen Ao's clothes had not been changed for many days, so although they were made of silk, they were a little sloppy. No wonder this little official looked down on him, and most of them thought he was complaining.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I want to see the county magistrate Yu Bichen Yu."

The little official looked at Chen Ao with a slanted eyes and said arrogantly: "You can see the county master at any time? Go quickly, otherwise I will teach you a good look?"

Chen Ao had no choice but to say, "I am the new county magistrate, and I am here to deliver official duties."

The little official laughed and thought to himself, I said that the county magistrate was coming to take office just now, so he said that he was the new county magistrate. Humph, the new county magistrate is said to be the top scholar in the current department. Not only is he close to the Duke of the State and the Imperial College, but he is also close to Eunuch Yang in the palace. He is also very close to him. He is a person in heaven. He eats dozens of bowls of bird's nest porridge a day. Can this show be small? Looking at the person in front of him, he looks like a down-and-out scholar. He has seen many such people and seizes the opportunity to fight. Qiufeng came to see the county master through various names and gave a student gift, and said that he had no money and had no money to return to his hometown. Originally, he was all scholars. The county master took into account the decency of the Shilin and would send some out, but these people would never return to their hometown after taking the money, and most of them went to Xichun Bridge again. The Xichun Bridge is the most lively place in Hangzhou. It is so lively. I wonder how many scholars are buried there!

The little official sneered and said to Chen Ao: "Wait a minute." After a while, he called a man dressed up. He was so burly. He had a beard and a round hat with feathers on his head. His belly was very rich. He pressed the handle of the long knife on his waist, and looked at Chen Ao up and down with big eyes, and hummed heavily: "Boy, you are a scholar. I won't move with you. Leave immediately, otherwise I will teach you a good look."

Chen Ao wanted to show him his proof, but he touched him, but found that he had nothing in his clothes. Then he remembered that the seal and the tent were all put in the bag, which had been taken in by Chuner and his family.

Chen Ao laughed and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the county master to come out to recognize each other. Otherwise, if you ask my wife to come out, isn't my wife already there?"

He was so calm that Na Du was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this man was not brave, maybe he was the county lieutenant who took office. The county lieutenant was Du Du's immediate boss. After thinking for a while, he said, "You wait first."

After a moment, he came back and said, "My County Master, please come over, boy, I am ugly in front of you. If you dare to pretend to be a county lieutenant, you will have to eat the board."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Board? I usually invite people to eat boards, but I really don't know what it feels like." After that, Luo Luo went in generously and walked through the two ritual gates. There were an open office space with six doors, and the middle two doors opened. Chen Ao went up and walked into the main yamen. He saw an old man wearing green clothes and public uniforms drinking tea slowly there.

Chen Ao immediately went over and bowed, "The lower official Chen Ao has met the county magistrate."

After hearing this, the county magistrate stood up with a smile and said, "Are you Chen Ao?" He looked at Chen Ao up and down. Although he had known that the top scorer in the current subject was a young man, he could not believe that he could be so young. He couldn't help but be stunned and was a little confused.

Chen Ao looked at the county magistrate at the same time, and he had already known this county magistrate. This person was named Yu Bichen, who was considered an honest man. After many years of hard work, he became the county magistrate of Renhe. Then he said, "Yes, I am Chen Ao. Has my wife been to the county magistrate? I wonder if it has been settled. If the adults don't believe it, I will ask someone to get the token and ask the adults to check it."

When he said this, Yu Bichen believed that what he said was true and held his hand and said, "It's good that you are here. I am looking forward to you day and night! Why has the newly arrived county magistrate Zhou Qing not been delayed?"

Chen Ao told him about the kidnapped Zhou Qing. After hearing this, Yu Bichen was shocked and pinched his beard and said angrily: "It's outrageous. Some people on the Huashi boat dare to commit such a crime. Is there any other king's law? I immediately wrote a document to all counties along the canal, and I must find the county magistrate Zhou back."

"Yes, you have to see people in your life, and you have to see corpses in your life." Chen Ao added.

When Yu Bichen heard Chen Ao say this, he looked at Chen Ao deeply, and then nodded. He immediately asked someone to take paper and pen to write official documents in his room.

The man who saw Chen Ao was really the county magistrate, was so scared that his face looked like a slut. He immediately said, "The villain has no eyes, please forgive me."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's not your fault, you are also responsible, you have to interrogate it clearly."

Seeing Chen Ao so modest, he finally let go and felt a little more grateful to Chen Ao.

It was Yu Bichen's time to write, and someone outside the yamen looked around. The man was also wearing a green suit. When he saw Chen Ao, he pulled the lieutenant guarding the door to ask. When he heard that he was a new county magistrate, he was overjoyed and laughed in. He looked like tears were about to flow out. He held Chen Ao's hand and said, "Is the person here the top scholar Chen Ao Chen talented man?"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "I didn't ask for the name of the adult."

The man laughed and said, "My name is Zhu Zhan. I am still any county magistrate. I am waiting for the adults to come to deliver the offer. This time the imperial court asked me to go to Changzhou as a procurator. Changzhou has been urged to me to go to the post as soon as possible. Today, my brother is here, let's get the offer now."

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, Chen Ao felt a bit too much. You, you will be the Changzhou Promoter in the future, and I will be the county magistrate of Renhe. Is it necessary to hold my buddy's hand with a smile?

He showed his diligence for nothing, either a traitor or a thief. When this guy saw him just now, his eyes were shining. It was suspicious!

Without waiting for Chen Ao to refuse, Zhu Zhan was afraid that Chen Ao would run away, so he pulled Chen Ao to sign the house for delivery. Chen Ao was pulled by him and it was difficult to refuse for a while. He had to ask someone to go to find his Chun'er and ask her to send someone to get the official seal and the tent to attract him. However, that person deliberately hit Chen Ao and blinked at Chen Ao, as if he had something to say, but in front of Zhu Zhan, it was difficult to speak out.

Zhu Zhan just pulled Chen Ao and said as he walked: "Mr. Shen came so fast. I thought it would take half a month to arrive... By the way, after we have finished the delivery, I will rush to Changzhou. At that time, Lord Shen must come and have a drink of wine. Haha, although you and I will be officials from another place in the future, I have been famous for Lord Shen for a long time. I am very lucky to be able to make friends with Lord Shen."
