Obviously, now that Xiao Han is backing him, Fatty Hong, who has been suffering in Guangzhou for several years, has finally regained his composure.
"Anyway, I won't be able to stay here much longer! No matter how powerful you are, will you still be able to go to Chang'an and bite me?" Looking at the arresters, the arrested, and the escapees in front of them, they were all in a mess. Fatty Hong raised his head and walked into the county government office with a big smile! And in this laughter, there seems to be indescribable happiness!
Xiao Han, the Hou of Sanyuan County, went to Shibo Division.
This doesn't seem to be much of a surprise.
After all, before his identity was exposed, no one could talk about him even if he lived on the streets, let alone living in a county government office.
But now that his identity has been exposed, it really doesn't seem like that for him to be a high-ranking imperial minister and to be trapped in a small county government office.
So from that time on, many people knew that Xiao Han was going to move. As for where to move, this was simple, just rule it out.
Because the city of Guangzhou is very large, there are really not many people suitable for the status of Xiao Han and his party.
Governor's Mansion?
Feng Ang, who lives there, has been closed for several days, and there are rumors that Feng Ang has planned to leave Guangzhou and will leave in the next two days, so Xiao Han will probably not go to the Governor's Mansion.
Eight government offices?
That's even more impossible! Not to mention that Xiao Han provoked three of them within three days of his arrival. Even if he had not provoked them, Xiao Han, as a high official in the imperial court, would not go to those Yamen with obvious local color if he was out of his mind.
Since these places are inaccessible, the only one left in Guangzhou is Shibosi!
Although, even now, many residents of Guangzhou City do not know what kind of player this Shibosi is, but it is true that this player is of a very high grade...
As officials of the Municipal Shipping Department, they probably received the news early, so they started cleaning up since dawn.
By the time Xiao Han and his party arrived, the huge yamen had already been cleaned by them. Even the stone slabs under their feet had been washed with clean water and were spotless. Let alone walking, even rolling. , and there is no problem.
"I've met Xiao Hou, I've met General Liu!"
Seeing Xiao Han and his entourage coming from a distance, Zhang Minghui, the deputy envoy of Shibo who was standing at the door with eager anticipation, hurriedly trotted all the way and stepped forward to greet them.
"No need!" Liu Hongji, who was walking in the front, heard the voice, glanced sideways at Zhang Minghui, hummed, and then walked straight into the Yamen.
"this???"
Zhang Minghui, who came down, was a little overwhelmed by Liu Hongji's actions. When he was racking his brains and wondering where he had offended him, Xiao Han came up from behind.
"Don't be surprised, Deputy Zhang, he has such a temper!"
Smiling and saying hello to Zhang Minghui, Xiao Han explained to Liu Hongji in an understated manner, while intentionally or unintentionally looking behind Zhang Minghui, the officials of the Municipal Shipping Department looked particularly restrained.
"Oh? I don't dare, I don't dare." Zhang Minghui probably didn't expect that Xiao Han, who had almost turned Guangzhou upside down in the past two days, would be so easy to talk to. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly handed over and said he didn't dare.
What a joke, let alone a deputy envoy of the sixth rank, even the envoy far away in Chang'an is still an official of the fourth rank. In front of these two people, he is nothing!
"This is all the people in your shipping department?"
Just when Zhang Minghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Han in front of him spoke again, but this time, he was looking at the people behind Zhang Minghui.
"Ahem, that's about it!"
Zhang Minghui couldn't figure out Xiao Han's meaning at all now, so he could only cough lightly and said vaguely: "There are still a few people doing routine inspections at the dock. It is estimated that they will not be back until noon to see the Marquis."
"Oh..." Hearing this, Xiao Han nodded noncommittally, and then asked again, but heard Liu Hongji's voice suddenly coming from the Yamen: "Hello! Xiao Han? Are you coming in? If you don't come in, , I, Old Liu, are leaving!"
"Come in, come in! Hey..." After hearing this, Xiao Han, who still wanted to ask something, could only sigh helplessly, smiled at Zhang Minghui, who also had a strange look, and walked into the mansion together.
Guangzhou Shipping Company is very big, at least it looks big from the outside!
However, Xiao Han's first impression of such a large yamen was exactly the same as that of Fatty Hong's county yamen, that is, it lacked a little vitality!
There are no busy scribes, no visitors, and not even a few servants. A large Shibosi Yamen seems to be more leisurely than the Qingshui Yamen in many places.
"This is Shibosi?!"
Looking at the desolate surroundings, Xiao Han raised a slight smile: Some people in Lingnan are very good! really good!
The yamen arranged by the emperor himself can be squeezed out to such an extent, and the dignified fourth-rank officials can be forced to run all the way back to Chang'an to cry! It can use coercion and inducement to bribe the entire yamen, making its every move exposed to the eyes of others!
Those people hiding behind really regard Lingnan as a place where they can cover the sky with one hand!
"Master Marquis, please come this way."
Zhang Minghui on the side also saw the smile on the corner of Xiao Han's mouth, but for some reason, his heart beat a little faster under this smile.
It seems that the person in front of me is not just coming to stay for a few days, but I don't know whether his arrival is a blessing or a disaster for Shibosi and Guangzhou.
When a Shangguan comes to visit, he or she is greeted with wine. This set of procedures has not changed much in the land of China for almost thousands of years.
As a deputy envoy, Zhang Minghui may not have strong decision-making ability, but his ability to flatter people is definitely superb.
He didn't know where he learned that Xiao Han and others loved to eat seafood, so when it was time to eat, Xiao Han saw a table full of seafood.
Moreover, unlike the common boiled and steamed seafood, the seafood this time was obviously specially processed by the chef. Not to mention other things, just talking about the bowl of porridge in front of him, Xiao Han only took a cursory glance and recognized a few of them. precious food.
However, these are easy to understand. It is a large basin of kelp placed in front of Liu Hongji. What does that mean? Moreover, I didn’t know that the fool even decorated the top of the kelp with a bright red fruit just to look good!
(ps Most people think that the Shishishishi was established after the Song Dynasty. This is correct, but not right! Because according to historical records, in the sixth year of Emperor Xianqing of the Tang Dynasty (661), the Shishishishi was established in Guangzhou to take charge of maritime relations and foreign trade. Send special officials to serve. The special officials here are usually eunuchs, because this organization mainly makes money for the emperor...ahem, they collect taxes to fill the treasury, so they all know...)
