Han Shaoguang was quite efficient in doing things. When Shao Xi and others came from the flower hall in the back hall to the front hall of the government office, Han Shaoguang had already sent people to post notices throughout the city.
From drafting to a large amount of writing, he then stamped the official seal one by one. He actually led the officials and servants in the government to complete such a large workload in such a short period of time. I have to say his efficiency in doing things Very high indeed.
After the arrangements for posting the notices were completed, Han Shaoguang immediately arranged for the county government officials to go through the streets and beat the gongs and drums to inform the people in the county that he had helped Wanxian County identify the fake county magistrate, capture the bandit leaders, and eliminate the bandits. Officials from the capital are now coming to Wanxian County again.
The people in the city are called on to go to Wanfu Restaurant at noon to express their gratitude to the Shangguan who came from the capital. There is no need to send any gifts, just go and say thank you.
However, Han Shaoguang was still very thoughtful, and secretly had a plaque with the words "help the world and bring peace to the people" secretly printed on it, and arranged for some local gentry and wealthy households to give it to Shao Xi in the name of the common people.
In this way, the scope of influence of this matter will be further expanded, because when delivering the plaque, gongs and drums are also played to create momentum along the way. I am afraid that everyone in the city will not know about this matter.
Shao Xi admired Han Shaoguang's skill very much. It seemed that this boy had really enlightened himself. He knew how to draw inferences from one example. It was not easy to make the best of the things he arranged.
The government officials were sent out, and the banquet at Wanfu Restaurant was set. They were just waiting for Shao Xi to make a public appearance to meet the people in the city at noon.
Shao Xi believed that as soon as he showed up, he would be targeted by Yan Song and his group, and his whereabouts would be quickly reported to Yan Song.
After receiving this news, Yan Song can't wait to plan a move against him. What he has to do is to set up a net and wait for Yan Song to fall into the trap.
Zheng Yuanxiu has also secretly arranged people to start to check which outsiders have been lingering in the city in recent days, screen out suspicious people and monitor them secretly.
In addition, they arranged for people from the government office to go to Zhang Chong's house to clean and tidy up with great fanfare, and to arrange for Shao Xi and Lao Wu to move in.
In addition, generous gifts were prepared in the name of the government office to show the importance of Shao Xi's coming to Wanxian County.
In fact, this was done deliberately so that Yan Song and his group, who were secretly watching Shao Xi and Lao Wu, could smoothly find out where Shao Xi and Lao Wu were going and where they were staying.
Deliberately telling these people that Shao Xi did not live in the government office, but in Zhang Chong's home where the guards were more lax.
These two waves of momentum were just to lure Yan Song and others there.
After working so busy all morning, Han Shaoguang prepared a sedan chair near noon and accompanied Shao Xi and Lao Wu to Wanfu Restaurant.
Before we even arrived in front of the restaurant, we could already see from a distance that the front door of Wanfu Restaurant was already crowded with people and very lively.
It seemed that the people in the city had already gotten the news, so they came one after another to express their gratitude to the high-ranking officials in Kyoto who helped eliminate Wanxian a year ago.
Not to mention Shao Xi, even Han Shaoguang himself did not expect that so many people would come.
The government officials sounded gongs to clear the way, and the people gave in one after another. When Shao Xi and others got off the sedan in front of Wanfu Restaurant, the place was already surrounded by people again.
Banditry has been rampant in Qingshan County for many years, especially in Wanxian County a year ago. The people were miserable and complained, but there was nothing they could do.
Now that the banditry has been eliminated, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the place is prosperous and peaceful. How can the people who have finally lived a good life not be full of gratitude to Shao Xi?
Knowing that he was coming to Wanxian County again, the county magistrate personally hosted a banquet to thank him at Wanfu Restaurant. Naturally, the people wanted to come and see Shao Xi's face and thank him in person.
As a result, it spread from one to ten, and everyone in the entire county knew about it. Even many outsiders who passed by came to join in the fun.
This is exactly what Shao Xi and others want. I believe that the person they are looking for must be hidden among these people.
Shao Xi raised his hands and said hello to the endless crowd in front of the restaurant, which caused a burst of cheers from the people.
The wealthy squires that Han Shaoguang had arranged in advance also presented the prepared plaques, and everyone entered the restaurant after exchanging pleasantries.
Han Shaoguang also spent a lot of money. Today, he set up a dozen tables of banquets at Wanfu Restaurant and invited all the prominent people in the county. The ordinary people at the door who could not enter the restaurant to participate in the banquet also stopped for a long time and refused to leave. .
This time, Shao Xi experienced firsthand the feeling of being an internet celebrity. It felt great to be surrounded by others and admired by others, but the feeling of being blocked in a restaurant was another matter.
This banquet is just a formality in the officialdom. It is a play performed by Shao Xi, Han Shaoguang and others in front of the people of the city. The bigger and more grand the play is, the more real it becomes.
But after the banquet, Shao Xi started to have a headache when he was about to leave Wanfu Restaurant. The people's admiration for Shao Xi was so enthusiastic that they blocked the door of Wanfu Restaurant and refused to let go.
This time Shao Xi also knew that those so-called celebrities and Internet celebrities were actually quite troubled. Being surrounded by a large group of unknown people made Shao Xi feel like a monkey being watched.
The vanity of being noticed at the beginning has long since disappeared, but now I have to force a smile and continue to greet the people. After all, these ordinary people who came here after hearing the news do not have any ill intentions. It's just that Shao Xi just wants to leave here as soon as possible.
After finally getting on the sedan chair, Shao Xi and others left the Wanfu Restaurant with the gongs played by the government officials to clear the way. According to the previous plan, they went directly to Zhang Chong's home while they were receiving the attention of the whole city.
Now, not to mention Yan Song and others, the people in the city all knew that Shao Xi had moved into their Captor Zhang's home, and many people were still talking privately that good times were coming for him.
He was so valued by the fourth-grade official of the dynasty that he even wanted to live in his home. It won't be long before Zhang Chong's family will ascend to heaven.
Zhang Chong is a native of Wanxian County, and his popularity in the local area is also very good. Now that Zhang Chong is going to stand out, many people are happy for him, and some people are already thinking about how to get close to Zhang Chong. In order to get some light from him in the future.
When they arrived at Zhang Chong's house, Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu pretended to present the gifts they had prepared in advance in front of Zhang Chong's house.
After a few people pretended to be polite, Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu returned to the government office, while Shao Xi and Lao Wu, accompanied by Zhang Chong and Zhao Qiaoyun, turned around and entered the courtyard gate.
After coming to the room and closing the door, Shao Xi sat down on the chair so tiredly that Shiliu quickly served tea to several people.
Shao Xi complained while drinking tea.
"This banquet is so tiring! I feel embarrassed when I keep saying hello and being polite to a group of people I don't know."
Old Wu said in a sinister manner: "You feel tired because these people have no use value to you? Why didn't you feel tired when you attended the banquet in the palace? Don't you think those people will be useful in the future? "
Shao Xi gave Old Wu a hard look and said to himself that this old guy really didn't hurt his back when he stood and talked.
"You think the banquet in the palace is not tiring? Do you think I am willing to join in the fun?
"The common people today are at least sincere, and the civil and military ministers in the palace are all vain.
"Everyone doesn't mean what they say. It's even more tiring to drink with them. You old guy, don't talk nonsense if you don't know."
Old Wu snorted and then stopped talking. In fact, he also understood that what Shao Xi said was the truth. When he was with the group of old foxes in the court, he had to be on guard at all times to protect anyone's words. It's just digging a hole for you.
Now that all the preparations have been done, all we have to do now is wait and see, waiting for Yan Song and others to come to their door.
Because he didn't know whether these guys would come tonight or tomorrow night, according to Shao Xi's arrangement, Lao Wu and himself took turns to keep watch, in order to ensure that one person was awake and alert at night.
Once the opponent makes some movement, he will take them down with thunderous force. He will never fight for as long as the previous time when a group of people fought in the yard.
In order to ensure the safety of the two female relatives, Zhao Qiaoyun and Shiliu, Shao Xi asked Zhang Chong to stay at home for the past two days and was only responsible for protecting them.
There is no need for Shao Xi to give any instructions for this kind of thing. They are all members of Zhang Chong's own family, and he will be more concerned about it than anyone else.
After nightfall, Shao Xi asked Old Wu to go to bed first, and he would stay up late at night.
When Lao Wu entered the room, Shao Xi sat cross-legged on a chair with his Yingxue Sword in hand, regulating his meridians, and began to practice.
There was no movement throughout the first half of the night. Shao Xi was secretly disappointed. He was wondering whether these guys were too careful and planned to come later in the night, or not at all tonight?
When it was almost time, Old Wu quietly walked out of the room. Rather than sleeping, he just squinted for a while. He patted Shao Xi gently and turned around to sit on another chair next to him.
Shao Xi restrained himself and stopped practicing. He took his feet off the chair and was about to get up and leave the chair when he suddenly stopped.
There were no lights in the room, so Shao Xi couldn't see Old Wu's expression clearly, but judging from the fact that Old Wu was sitting motionless on the chair, it seemed that Old Wu had also discovered something.
At this time, Shao Xi exerted his unique super perception ability in the "Qi Transformation Realm" and quietly listened to the sound on the roof that was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.
Shao Xi secretly laughed in his heart. It turned out that thieves like to walk on the roof, but they didn't know that today they met two experts.
I hope Yan Song is here tonight, otherwise he will be sorry for the situation he carefully set up for him.
