After sending Jia Gui away, Furong hurried to the government office. Chen Xiaomu teased: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, you didn't get lost in front of the government office, right?"
Furong's face turned red when she heard this, she took a peek at Master Ye who was standing behind Chen Xiaomu, lowered her head and whispered: "I forgot the imperial edict that the emperor gave me in the morning, so I had to go back again!"
After speaking, she took out the imperial edict from her sleeves and said hurriedly: "Let's go and declare the edict to Mr. Jia!"
After Furong said this, Chen Xiaomu and Master Ye suddenly remembered that when Chen Xiaomu came to the government office to take office this time, he even forgot the key procedure of sending an imperial envoy to announce the decree. For a moment, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other, dumbfounded! "
Seeing Chen Xiaomu standing still, Furong urged: "Chen Tongpan, it's getting late. If you have anything else, wait until the emperor's decree is announced!"
Chen Xiaomu suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, Master Jia and I have finished handing over, what do you think we should do now?"
"Ah!" Furong was startled, and then said dullly: "Why did Mr. Jia agree to hand over to you without seeing the imperial edict?"
Chen Xiaomu scratched his head and said with an awkward smile: "Because Mr. Jia and I are already familiar with each other, and Mr. Jia was summoned to the court by the emperor yesterday, and the emperor told him about it personally. I guess he just thought that the emperor had given it to him yesterday. He was dictating, but he didn’t expect that there would be an imperial edict behind it!”
"What should we do?" Furongwu stared at Chen Xiaomu with twinkling eyes, feeling flustered for a moment. After all, her mistake of forgetting to take the imperial edict was not a small one!
Chen Xiaomu thought for a moment, reached out and took the imperial edict from Furong, and said to her: "You go back and report to the emperor first. I will send someone to inform Mr. Jia later. If the emperor asks about this, just say that he saw it." It’s an imperial edict!”
Furong was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was the only way to remedy the situation, so she nodded in agreement, got in the car and returned to the palace!
Accompanied by his master, Ye Duzheng, Chen Xiaomu strolled into Su Xingchen's magistrate's office. At this time, Su Xingchen and the two female officials she had brought from the palace were crouching behind the desk, looking through the various documents handed over to her by Magistrate Bai. File, he looked up and saw Chen Xiaomu wandering in from the outside, so he closed the file with a "snap", looked at him, and said with anger: "It's all your fault. Originally, I was safe and sound in the palace. You But they want me to be the prefect of Lao Shizi. This is a good time. I can’t understand the files left by the prefect Bai!"
Chen Xiaomu chuckled and said, "Just don't understand, you're not a god, you can do anything!"
Su Xingchen pushed aside the file in front of him and said angrily: "I don't care, you asked me to do it anyway, you have to do these things!"
Chen Xiaomu said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, are you a princess? You asked me to try to keep you in the capital. Do you think the emperor will agree if I don't find a reason?"
"Well, that makes sense." Su Xingchen stood up as he spoke, yawned, walked around the copywriter, walked to Chen Xiaomu, and added: "But you still need to do the things here." After that, he walked towards the door. Go outside.
"Hey, hey! Where are you going?" Chen Xiaomu quickly followed behind and wanted to stop her.
Su Xingchen turned around and said angrily: "I woke up early today. I'll go to the mansion behind to catch up on my sleep."
Chen Xiaomu quickly walked a few steps, stopped in front of her, and said with a smile: "Look, it's almost noon. Wait a moment, the food in the government office dining hall is almost ready. I will arrange for you, the prefect, to meet and greet her in the dining hall." Let’s meet with the Sima, the boss, the army officer, the regiment leader, and the three squad leaders in the government office. In addition, Mr. Jia told me before he left just now that he had sent someone to inform those who were doing official business at the government office in the morning. Zhuang Tongzhi and Jiang Xundao also came over to get acquainted with each other, and I also found a temporary female head catcher outside and a few government officials to come over at noon!"
Su Xingchen got angry when she heard this. She glared at Chen Xiaomu and said coldly: "It's okay for you to find so many people for me to have a meal, but now you actually have a female catcher come out. I think she is your female concubine, right?" "
Chen Xiaomu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and said helplessly: "What nonsense are you talking about! He is very skilled in martial arts. I spent a lot of money to hire him to help him. I just took office, so I have to have a few people under my command who can be used easily, right?"
"You are the only one who has the most sense!" Su Xingchen said angrily: "There are so many cadres and agents in the government office, and they are not enough for you!"
Chen Xiaomu walked up to Su Xingchen, stretched out his hand and patted her thin shoulder, and said with a smile: "Madam, didn't you say that those yamen officers and agents you mentioned have been working around the Xinjing government yamen for many years? I’m afraid all of them have turned into old fritters a long time ago! I’ll give you a favor by then, and I’m afraid you won’t even know you were sold by them!”
Su Xingchen thought about it, and angrily glanced at Chen Xiaomu and said nothing.
Chen Xiaomu took the opportunity to hold her little hand and persuaded her: "Let's go. As the new magistrate, you have to meet with your subordinates first and then say some words of encouragement, right? This is the way to be an official!"
When Su Xingchen heard this, he gave up and said with a pout, "You can let me meet these people, but I won't eat with them, let alone say what you said!"
"This...!" Chen Xiaomu was really stumped now, but he still understood Su Xingchen's difficulty at this time. He grew up in the deep courtyard of the palace and almost never left the palace. He was as pure as a fairy, so he could It was difficult for him to meet these old fritters who had been in the officialdom for many years. At the same time, he didn't want to embarrass her any more, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you just have to meet them and leave, and leave the rest to me."
The two of them were walking towards the dining hall of the government office when a man named Zhang Feiji, the official, came running towards them. He clasped his fists from afar and said, "Master Tongpan, is there a woman coming to the door of the government office asking to see you?"
Chen Xiaomu knew that Wei Yuxin was here, and immediately ordered Zhang Feizu: "Take her to the dining room, I'll wait for her there."
Zhang Fei hugged him with both hands, said "obey", turned around and walked away as fast as he could.
Su Xingchen turned around and looked at Chen Xiaomu, and said sarcastically: "Your female catcher is here, why don't you pick her up?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaomu agreed and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go pick her up together. After all, I was the one who invited her to help, so it's not an exaggeration to pick her up!"
Su Xingchen also wanted to see what the female detective Chen Xiaomu said was good at martial arts looked like, so he followed Chen Xiaomu without saying a word.
Yu Xin, the guard at the gate of Fu Yamen, is dressed in black, wearing a purple satin spinner coat that Chen Xiaomu spent a lot of money to tailor for her at Baofuji Cloth Shop. She is also wearing a hat and a pair of long deerskin boots. Just look at this outfit. The dress, coupled with the innate graceful figure, is enough to make any man with normal physiology fascinated and drooling all over the floor. But if you look up and see that face, you will probably lose all interest immediately and wipe the soles of your feet. Oily, triangular eyes, flat nose and no lips, and pitted face, that look is really unflattering!
The three of them finally came face to face. Su Xingchen and Wei Yuxin's heart, which was clenched at first, suddenly became enlightened. Looking at Wei Yuxin's face, she had no reason not to believe that Chen Xiaomu really asked her to help!
Chen Xiaomu introduced the two of them in the middle, and the two women just nodded to each other, without even a greeting. They seemed to be a pair of natural enemies. This made Chen Xiaomu, the middleman, terribly embarrassed. He had no choice but to laugh to himself: "It's cold outside, you two. Let's go to the Yamen Dining Hall to warm up together first, right?"
Su Xingchen nodded slightly, turned around and left first, but Wei Yuxin refused directly: "No, I have already had lunch, you can go and use it yourself, I will wait for you here!"
Chen Xiaomu knew that Wei Yuxin had a stubborn temper and had no choice but to tell Zhang Feiqiu who was following her: "Boss Zhang, take Miss Wei to the government office living room to rest for a while and serve her a pot of good tea!"
Zhang Feili cupped his hands and was about to speak. Suddenly, there was a continuous "dong dong dong" sound from the government office!
Chen Xiaomu was startled when he heard the sound, and unconsciously looked at Zhang Fei's legs.
Zhang Feizu said disapprovingly: "Master Tongpan, you just came here and you didn't know that before Jia Tongpan came, no one came to play drums for ten and a half months. Later, when Jia Tongpan came, he canceled the drumming complaint." The twenty-thousand-killing stick must be beaten, and the number of drummers has increased. Sometimes there will be five or six in a day, and most of them are for minor matters. You should go to have a meal, and wait for me to get Miss Wei. How about I take it to the living room and see what's going on, and then report it to you in the dining hall?"
"Is this good?" Chen Xiaomu was still hesitating.
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Master Tongpan, feel free to go and have a meal. I don't know how many times I have dealt with this kind of thing!"
"Then..., okay." Chen Xiaomu saw Zhang Feili's confident look, and thought that there were many people waiting for him in the dining hall. After a moment of hesitation, Chen Xiaomu turned around and went to the dining hall.
Zhang Fei leg placed Wei Yuxin in the living room, and hurried to the injustice drum to see who could beat the drum. Unexpectedly, when he saw the drummer, his face suddenly darkened, and he pointed at the drummer. The person threatened: "Mrs. Ji, why are you here again? Do you know that today is the happy day for the new Lord Tongpan to take office? Everyone is very busy, who has time to deal with your trivial matters! Listen to my kind words, Hurry up and go home and stay there. I'm not afraid to tell you that this new Lord Tongpan is not as soft-hearted as Lord Jia. If you don't listen to my good advice, he will give you twenty killing blows when he comes to the court. The stick can break your old bones into pieces!"
As soon as Zhang Feili finished speaking, the girl next to Granny Ji suddenly raised her eyebrows, widened her almond-shaped eyes and said angrily: "We are here to complain, not to beg for food. I don't know why this official came to threaten my mother like this!"
"Haha!" Zhang Feichi sneered at first, then looked at the girl and said: "Miss Yu, please listen to the official's advice. Yuan Wu's family is one of the richest families in New Capital. If you marry her, Not only can you live a good life, but your mother and brother can also get involved, so why bother accompanying your mother to suffer these crimes!"
Hearing this, Yu Yingnan said coldly: "Master, if the Wu family is so good, why don't you marry your sister to the Wu family?"
Zhang Fei sighed and said regretfully: "Alas! If my sister was as handsome as you, if she had been taken aback by that member Wu, I would have been blessed long ago. Why bother to stay in the Yamen and do this without enough food? The hungry bitch!"
At this moment, Mother-in-law Ji forced a smile: "This official, everyone has their own ambitions, so don't force it. You can let your sister go to Wu's house in exchange for a happy life, but the old lady can't bear to push her daughter into the fire pit!"
"What?" Zhang Feizu got angry when he heard that, he scolded with angry eyebrows: "Mrs. Ji, can you speak? Who pushed the girl into the fire pit? The Wu family is obviously a comfortable place, but now you insist that it is Fire pit!"
Mother-in-law Ji sighed slightly: "Master, no matter whether the Wu family is a fire bed or a comfortable nest, now the old woman only asks the master to go to the judge to report it for me! He said in the morning that he would go to court to hear my son's case after taking office. !”
Zhang Fei made a long face and said angrily: "Mrs. Ji, you have to make it clear that even someone as smart as Mr. Jia couldn't find any loopholes in your son's rape case. Now you want someone who doesn't know how to get away?" What kind of shit is your luck? Just dream about a young man from an aristocratic family who doesn't even have a hairy head helping your son to reverse the case! Besides, the salary I got from you is not the salary given by your family. If you ask me to go to court, I will go to court. Genius?"
"Mother, if he doesn't go to report, we will go in by ourselves!" Yu Yingnan supported Granny Ji and was about to walk to the government office.
"How dare you! I've rebelled against you!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Feiqi immediately took a step forward, stretched out his hands and made a big character shape, and blocked them in front of them!
"Zhang Degui, what are you going to do?" At this moment, a cold shout suddenly sounded from behind Zhang Fei's legs.
Zhang Fei turned his head to look, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Oh, Master Ye, aren't you eating in the dining hall? Why are you here too?"
"Hmph!" Ye Duzheng snorted coldly from his nose and said, "If I hadn't come over, I'm afraid Mother-in-law Ji and her daughter would have been driven away by you, right? Fortunately, Master Tongpan was worried and specifically asked me to come over and have a look!"
