Early the next morning, Liu Heng took Zhao Wu to the gate of the governor's office.
At this time, outside the governor's office, there were sedan chairs and horses, and many Datong civil and military officials came, all of whom came to visit Governor Liu Hong.
Among these officials, there were civilian officials wearing green official robes and green official robes, as well as many military generals wearing scarlet official robes. On the contrary, among the green and green official robes, none of the generals were civilian officials.
Liu Heng's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the civil and military officials at the Yamen Gate.
The people who came to visit the governor were all Datong officials, wearing official robes, but Liu Heng was wearing a long gown, which looked extremely unusual.
A civil servant wearing a green robe walked up to Liu Heng, looked Liu Heng up and down, and asked, "You are also here to visit the governor."
"The common people have met your Excellency." Liu Heng bowed to the other party and saluted.
The green-robed civil servant frowned and asked, "Where is your home? Who else is there in your family? Have you ever started a career?"
After asking three questions in a row, he looked at Liu Heng condescendingly.
Liu Heng bowed and said calmly: "Liu Heng, a common man, is the proprietor of the Tiger Flag, and has not started a career yet."
"Are you a businessman?" The green-robed civil servant showed contempt, and immediately scolded, "You are a white businessman, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
Zhao Wu, who was guarding Liu Heng, heard this and immediately opened his eyes angrily and stared at the green-robed civil servant.
Liu Heng caught a glimpse of Zhao Wu's appearance, raised his hand to stop him, then lifted his hem, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Liu Heng, a common man, has seen you before."
"Hmph!" The green-robed civil servant snorted coldly, turned around and left, ignoring Liu Heng.
Liu Heng stood up, bowed and saluted the green-robed civil servant again, and then stood up straight.
Zhao Wu on the side said in a low voice: "Master, why did you stop me just now? With the body of the man just now, my subordinate beat him down with one fist."
"Don't be rude." Liu Heng glared at Zhao Wu and said immediately, "If I'm not wrong, this person should be the new Datong Inspector."
"What's wrong with the governor? Our Tiger Flag is not even afraid of the governor Xu Tong." Zhao Wu said disapprovingly.
"Okay, don't say any more, don't forget where this place is." Liu Heng reminded him, and then said, "If you call the Datong patrol here, you will be the enemy of the entire Datong officialdom. When the time comes, the company commander Zhang The adults will not protect our tiger flag."
"How serious it can be!" Zhao Wu looked puzzled.
Liu Heng said in a low voice: "Wait here honestly. We will wait patiently for the governor to summon you. As for the other people here, we can't provoke them. There is no need to provoke them. Even if we want to provoke them, we can't do it here. Do you understand?"
"All subordinates will obey the orders of the proprietor." Zhao Wu responded.
There were many civil and military officials waiting outside the governor's office to be summoned by the governor. After hearing that the man in the long gown was Liu Heng, many civil officials showed contempt in their eyes.
On the contrary, some military generals, after knowing Liu Heng's identity, deliberately wanted to contact him. After all, Tiger Character Flag was a famous business name in Datong, and many generals relied on Tiger Character Flag to make a fortune.
However, these generals were all human beings. When they saw that the new inspector was dissatisfied with Liu Heng, they did not want to offend the inspector over a trivial matter, so they gave up the idea of contacting Liu Heng at this time.
On the contrary, many civil servants regard themselves as noble and look down on white businessmen like Liu Heng from the bottom of their hearts. They feel dirty even when they stand together.
As a result, Liu Heng's side became quiet, because no one wanted to stand next to him or stand with him.
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out of the yamen, stood on the stone steps at the yamen entrance, looked down, and then said with a smile: "Dongzhu Liu, the governor has called you in, please come in!"
"We have Mr. Lao Du." Liu Heng bowed his hands towards Du Wanyuan and walked towards the Yamen.
"etc!"
At this moment, the green-robed civil servant shouted and walked up the stone steps.
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Wang?"
Du Wanyuan knew that the other party was the newly appointed patrol officer, and he did not want to offend him too much, so he asked with a smile.
The green-robed civil servant said with a calm face: "I have been waiting here for a long time. Why didn't the governor call me in, but let a lowly businessman go in first?"
As he said that, he glanced at Liu Heng contemptuously.
Liu Heng, who was standing on the stone steps, kept his expression unchanged. At the same time, he held Zhao Wu's arm with his hand to prevent Zhao Wu from doing anything impulsive.
Du Wanyuan frowned slightly and said: "Sir Wang, the students have no right to interfere with who the governor wants to see. The students only send messages for the governor. However, as the new governor, Mr. Wang, I believe the governor will summon him soon. Please also ask Mr. Wang, please wait patiently."
"No need, I will go see the governor in person." With that said, Wang Xin took a step and rushed into the governor's office.
Du Wanyuan, who was standing at the door of the Yamen, took a step across and blocked the front, saying, "Master Wang, please wait patiently. The governor will not miss you."
"Bold." Wang Xin said with a serious look on his face, "I am the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governor of Datong appointed by the Holy One. You, a small staff member, dare to stop me from meeting the governor."
Du Wanyuan bowed and said with a smile: "Master Wang, you have misunderstood. The students do not dare to stop you from going to see the governor. However, without the governor's order, the students dare not let the governor in. Please don't do it." Blame the students.”
After saying that, he said to Liu Heng: "Don Master Liu, please invite me. The governor is anxious to see you."
"We have Mr. Laodu here." Liu Heng crossed his fists and walked into the Yamen.
As for the Datong security guard at the yamen gate, he didn't even look at it.
Du Wanyuan turned around and said to Wang Xinyi: "Mr. Wang, don't be anxious. I hope the governor will summon you soon after he comes to see Dongzhu Liu."
After saying that, he stepped back into the Yamen.
Wang Xinyi, who stayed on the stone steps outside the Yamen Gate, had a clouded face and was on the verge of rage.
If it were not the governor's yamen here, he would dare to break in at any other yamen, but here, he would have to be more cautious and not dare to break in.
However, Liu Hong summoned a white businessman into the governor's office, but he was not seen as the new inspector. This made him secretly hate Liu Hong, including the proprietor of the Tiger Flag named Liu Heng, whom he disliked no matter how he looked at him.
Walking in the yamen, Liu Heng asked with a smile: "May I ask Mr. Du, is that Mr. Wang just now the new inspector of Datong?"
"Exactly this person."
Du Wanyuan said with dissatisfaction: "In the entire Datong, the only Datong official who dares to disrespect the governor and want to force his way into the governor's office is this governor who is from the Donglin Party."
"It turns out that Mr. Wang is from the Donglin Party." Liu Heng nodded thoughtfully.
Du Wanyuan snorted coldly and said: "Nowadays, the Donglin Party in the imperial court is so powerful that even a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and a seventh-rank patrol officer almost don't take my family seriously."
In his words, he made no secret of his dissatisfaction with the patrol officer just now.
