"Sir, Baiyangkou Office, Changyu City Office, Zhenbian City Office, and Yanhekou Office, these Thousand Household Offices all sent people here and sent a lot of things." Came from Shaanxi with Xing Youwei Chang Sui, who arrived at Juyongguan, said with excitement.
The period of living in Juyongguan was far less comfortable than the time in Shaanxi.
As a long-term follower of the Provincial Envoy and Secretary of State, he was the target of fawning wherever he went. Instead, his father was promoted and became the governor. After arriving at Juyongguan, he was treated coldly everywhere. He even dared to ignore the closure of a hundred households. He is the closest person to the Governor.
In the past, when he was in Shaanxi, he would not take a serious look at such a small household.
At one point, he even thought that his master had offended the powerful people in the court and had people secretly go to a place like Juyongguan to die.
Now he doesn't think so.
The liveliness in front of my master's door has returned to the past. There is no shortage of people coming to visit their master, and everyone brings generous gifts.
Just now, Deputy Qianhu of Baiyangkou Office secretly gave him three taels of silver, just to beg him to come in and report.
Xing Youwei sat firmly on the Taishi chair, holding a tureen in his hand and said, "I've been missing for a while. Please remember which house sent you something."
"Don't worry, sir, I'm familiar with this kind of thing. It's still the same as when I was in Shaanxi." Chang Sui said with a smile.
"Well, just like before, let's do it!"
Xing Youwei waved his hand to his senior attendant, signaling him to do something.
Chang Sui left the room happily.
For him, the good days have come. In the past, his master was just a chief envoy and minister, and there were so many people coming to fawn on him. Now he has become the governor of a place. That is an official bigger than the governor of Shaanxi, and even more important. The important thing is that his master still has Shang Fang's sword in his hand, which proves that his master deserves the attention of today's people and is not sent to Juyongguan as he suspected.
Soon, he arrived outside the courtyard gate.
"What's going on? Governor, are you willing to see us?" A fat man came up to us with a smile on his face.
When the long attendant who often faced such scenes walked to the door, his face was expressionless. He said: "Okay, leave everything behind and everyone can go back!"
"Good work."
Several people outside the door had happy expressions on their faces. One of them took out a silver coin from his sleeve and handed it to Chang Sui's hand.
Changsui took the silver, weighed it, and found that there were about ten taels. A happy look flashed across his face, and he put it into his sleeve with a hook. At the same time, he said: "Go back to work with peace of mind. The governor will not argue with you. But you have to be discerning in the future. If the governor had not been good-tempered, you would not have been spared lightly this time."
"Yes, yes, yes, Governor Xing is magnanimous. We will remember his teachings and obey him in everything we do in the future." As he said that, the fat man took out another ingot of silver and handed it over.
Chang Sui took the silver and put it away.
tread! tread! tread!
The rapid sound of horse hooves came from the street not far outside the door, and soon several horses appeared in front of everyone.
Call!
Several horses stopped outside the courtyard gate of Xing Youwei's residence. The leader looked at the Chang Sui standing in front of the door and asked, "Is this the residence of Governor Xing?"
There was a bit of Liaodong accent in his words.
Chang Sui had been watching these horses since they appeared, and noticed that these armors and standard longbows were only equipped by frontier troops, and they must be people with a certain status.
The people from several thousand houses outside the door also all noticed the coming person.
As they both serve in the army, it is obvious at a glance that the aura of these knights is extraordinary. They are no worse than the servants of the Qianhufu. They are probably the servants of a certain general.
"Why aren't you talking? Isn't this the residence of Governor Xing?" Seeing that no one answered, the cavalryman who asked the question looked unhappy.
Chang Sui, who was standing at the door, said: "Who are you? What do you want from the governor?"
"It seems we have found the right place." The leading cavalryman turned around and said to his companions, then looked at the attendant at the door and said, "We are people sent by General Jiang to meet your Governor Xing."
Chang Sui frowned and said: "General Jiang? Which General Jiang? Why didn't I know there was another General Jiang here in Juyongguan!"
"They should be from Liaodong." Qianhu, deputy director of Baiyangkou, who was standing nearby, explained in a low voice.
Chang Sui's expression changed after hearing this.
"You guys wait here, I'll go in and report right away." With that said, he turned around and entered the door.
Several people from Qianhusuo outside the door came forward at this time.
"I am the Deputy Qianhu Changkun of Baiyangkou." Changkun, the deputy Qianhu of Baiyangkou, stepped forward and gave a fist to the several cavalrymen on horseback with a smile on his face.
However, the man on horseback didn't even look at him.
Chang Kun showed a hint of anger on his face.
As an important figure in Baiyangkou's position, he was ignored by a few people from Liaodong, which made him feel embarrassed.
If it weren't for the fact that these people from Liaodong were not easy to offend at first glance, he would have been unable to resist taking action directly.
"Old Qin, you stay here, and the rest of you will follow me in." The leader got off his horse, handed the reins to one of his companions, and walked towards the courtyard entrance in front of him.
The few horses that came with him also dismounted, leaving the man named Lao Qin to guard the horses, while the others followed him into the yard.
Xing Youwei's residence in Juyongguan is not very prominent, it is just an ordinary courtyard.
As soon as several people entered the courtyard, they were seen by Chang Sui who came out of the house.
Chang Sui frowned, dissatisfied with these people for barging in, and scolded: "Who let you in? Didn't they ask you to wait outside?"
"Governor Xing is in the room!" The leading cavalryman glanced at the room from which Changsui had just walked out.
Chang Sui's face sank. Unexpectedly, these people did not take him seriously at all, and showed no respect for the governor at all.
Several cavalrymen ignored the long entourage and walked straight towards the front room.
Seeing this, Chang Sui hurriedly stood in front of them and said, "What? Do you want to force your way in without being summoned?"
"We brought General Jiang to write a letter to Governor Xing. Could it be that you, a servant, still want to stop us?" The leading cavalryman narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the commander.
Chang Sui, who was blocking the front, unconsciously lost his momentum and said forcefully: "No one can enter without the governor's summons."
"Humph, I want to go in, do you think you can stop me?" The leading cavalryman sneered contemptuously, and pressed his upper body forward to suppress the long follower who was blocking him in front.
Chang Sui subconsciously took a step back.
