Chapter 482 483 [Pretend to be a tiger and eat a pig]
Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue went to Yancheng by car. Along the way, they saw countless disaster victims helping the old and the young with their families fleeing.
Xiang Nan saw it in his eyes, touched the scene with emotion, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Take a long breath to cover your tears, mourning the hardships of the people's lives!
These ordinary people just want to survive. Why is such a humble idea so difficult to realize.
"Mr. Ji, don't cry, don't cry and break your body." Du Xiaoyue comforted.
Seeing how sympathetic Xiang Nan is to the common people, she couldn't help being moved.
"Miss Xiaoyue, these corrupt officials have harmed the common people, fish and meat villagers, they really deserve to die!" Xiang Nan wiped away his tears and said, "I, Ji Xiaolan, swear, I will definitely seek justice for them."
"Mr. Ji, I believe in you. You are a good official and a good person, and you will definitely do it." Du Xiaoyue nodded and said with admiration.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue rushed to Yancheng.
Along the way, they ate together, drank together, and sat in the same car, and their relationship became better and better.
Came to Yancheng on this day. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, their car was stopped.
A small official with a fat head and big ears led his troops forward, "Stop, stop, search, search!"
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of the car and saw Du Xiaoyue sitting in the car, his eyes lit up immediately.
"Come on, take down this chaotic party that opposes the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty!"
"Presumptuous! Do you know who I am?" Xiang Nan immediately shouted when he heard it.
"Who are you?" Seeing that Xiang Nan was sitting in the middle, the little official was not angry and pretentious, and he spoke the official dialect of the capital, which seemed to have a lot of history, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit jealous.
Xiang Nan immediately took out the big seal, and flashed it in front of the little official, "Don't take me to see the prefect Liu Changfu!"
The little official was shocked when he saw the big seal in Xiang Nan's hand.
The official seals of the Qing Dynasty were different in rank, and the materials of casting and printing were also different. First and second ranks and some third ranks are only allowed to use silver seals. Most of the third to ninth ranks are all copper seals. As for the small officials below the ninth rank, they can only use wooden seals.
The big seal in Xiang Nan's hand was made of silver, and he was at least a third-rank official, who was better than him, a ninth-rank official. He was so frightened that he shook his clothes and fought, sweating profusely!
"Why are you deaf?!" Seeing that he was not moving, Xiang Nan scolded him again.
"My lord, please forgive me, I will take you there right away!" The petty official was startled, and hurriedly guided Xiang Nan's carriage to the prefect's yamen.
…
"Master Ji, you are really capable. You just flashed your big seal and scared the **** out of him." Du Xiaoyue laughed.
"It's called tofu in brine, one thing down one thing." Xiang Nan laughed, and then reminded. "Hey, by the way, Xiaoyue, don't call me Mr. Ji from now on, you must call me Mr. He, because I am pretending to be He Shen now."
"Oh, I almost forgot." Du Xiaoyue quickly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, sir, I won't make a mistake next time."
Xiang Nan nodded.
While talking, the carriage has arrived at the magistrate's yamen.
"My lord, please wait for a moment, the officer will go in and report!"
A moment later, the magistrate Liu Changfu led his master and other officials from all levels of the Yamen to greet him at the door.
"My subordinate Liu Changfu, together with officials of all levels in Yancheng, visited your lord. I didn't know your lord came, but I was far away to welcome you. Please forgive me!" Liu Changfu led the crowd and knelt down in front of the car.
Liu Changfu got up quickly, then came to the front of the car, opened the curtain by himself, "My lord, please get out of the car."
Xiang Nan immediately took Xiaoyue out of the car.
Seeing that there was no horse stool prepared for the carriage, the clerk quickly lay down on the ground, "My lord, step on me to get off the carriage~" he said flatteringly.
Xiang Nan was not polite to him, and stepped on his back to get out of the car.
He weighed more than one hundred catties, and he kicked straight down without any effort, almost breaking the spine of the little official, and the pain caused his face to change at that time.
Du Xiaoyue stepped on his back and got out of the car. For such a dog official, she Du Nvxia will naturally not be merciful.
…
After getting off the car, Xiang Nan glanced at the crowd, "Don't lead the way yet!"
"Yes, my lord, please!" Liu Changfu hurriedly led the way, and led Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue to the inner hall behind the government office.
"My lord, please take your seat!" Liu Changfu said respectfully.
Xiang Nan did his part and sat down with Du Xiaoyue.
"Do you all know me?" He looked around everyone and asked coldly.
"The lower officials don't know, and they are about to ask your lord for advice." Liu Changfu hurriedly said tremblingly.
"Hmph! Take it and see for yourself~" Xiang Nan passed on the great seal.
Liu Changfu took it respectfully, opened it, and felt a thump in his heart. He quickly led all the officials to kneel again, "Liu Changfu, the magistrate of Yancheng, led all the government officials to pay homage to He Shenhe!"
"Hmph, at least your eyes are not blind." Xiang Nan snorted coldly.
The little official heard that Xiang Nan was actually He Shenhe, who was under one man and over ten thousand, his face turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground. He is really too old to break ground, dare to say that he and his lord are rebels, what a birthday star always eats arsenic, and thinks his life is too long!
"I didn't know that my lord was coming here, and I was far away to welcome you. Please forgive me!" Liu Changfu kowtowed in fright when he saw Xiang Nan's bad tone.
"Forget it, don't blame those who don't know, just get up for me." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Thank you, sir." Liu Changfu quickly got up and stood respectfully, not even daring to sit down.
"Speaking of which, although I haven't met you, I have received your filial piety these years." Xiang Nan said again, "We are all our own people. Well, let's all sit down, let's all sit down. "
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Changfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Xiang Nan said, and hurriedly sat down.
"Do you know why I came to Yancheng in a micro-service this time?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"The lower officials are dull." Liu Changfu confessed.
"Hmph, I came here this time at the emperor's order to investigate the case of Huang Keming and Mo Chou." Xiang Nan said coldly, then slapped the table, "You people are too useless, to let them It really disappoints Hemou to go to Yunzhou."
"My lord, forgive me. You don't know, that Huang Keming is a desperate guy..." Liu Changfu quickly defended himself.
"Nonsense, Huang Keming is a good man!" Seeing that he dared to slander Brother Huang, Du Xiaoyue immediately spoke up for him.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he quickly winked at her, "Hey, everyone, this is my lady Ru, Xiaoyue. Madam, we are talking about Huang Keming, the rebel, not Wang Keming, the official of the Ministry of Punishment. .”
"Oh, oh!" Du Xiaoyue also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she nodded quickly.
"This Huang Keming handed over a ledger to the emperor, which recorded the evidence of your misappropriation of disaster relief funds." Xiang Nan looked at the crowd again and said.
"Has the emperor seen the ledger?" Liu Changfu broke into a cold sweat.
"Of course, Long Yan was furious, so he sent me to investigate." Xiang Nan nodded.
