Of course, Gao Pragmatic was not clear about the chieftain meeting in Longtan Town. He had been in Liuzhou for several days and now he was about to get down to business. There are many official duties of the patrol censor, one of which is to investigate whether local officials are "corrupt, corrupt, and corrupt and harmful to the people." There are many ways to investigate, but a very important one is that the patrol censor should go deep into Folks, on-site verification requires not only understanding local folk customs, but also the official voice of local officials.
Therefore, in accordance with the historical requirements and regulations for patrolling censors, Gao Pragmatic planned to pay a private visit in Liuzhou Fucheng today to see how these officials in Liuzhou Fucheng received their reputation among the people, so that they could return to the capital next year.
It was easy to conduct a private visit incognito. Gao Pingshi's visit to Liuzhou was grand enough that no ordinary people met him. And he was young enough, so he probably didn't fit the image of a high official in the minds of ordinary people.
Gao Zhang found a set of his own clothes, and after Gao Jingshi put them on, he looked like an ordinary young scholar. Except that he was a little taller, everything else was pretty much the same.
Originally, Gao Jingshi thought that he and Cao Ke could do this private visit incognito, because Gao Zhang was a bit too boring, and his every move was too rigid. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that he was either from the military or a servant of a prominent family. Guard, but Gao Zhang resolutely refused. In the end, Gao Jingshi could only order him to follow him quietly, and said, "Unless I am going to die soon, you must not show up."
Gao Zhang agreed and went down to prepare himself. Gao Jingshi was too lazy to care about him and turned to Cao Ke and said, "Do you remember your identity?"
Cao Ke was quite excited, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "A bookboy acting as a bookboy, it couldn't be more similar. No one can see anything wrong. Don't worry, sir."
Unexpectedly, Gao Pangshi immediately glared at him, "You said that no one could see anything wrong. It's wrong of you to say this. I'm just a young scholar who came to Guangxi from Henan to join Shishu. Why should I be called a master?"
"Yes, yes, the young master taught me a lesson."
"Farewell young master, everyone has come to join Uncle Shi. The family is obviously in decline, so let's call him young master."
Cao Ke had no choice but to agree.
After a while, Gao Zhang came back. Gao Qinggong walked around in front of him and asked, "You have been trained to stay overnight, so you should have some experience in disguise. See if there are any flaws in me."
Gao Zhang looked at it seriously for a few times, shook his head and said, "You don't look like a scholar, at least you are a scholar."
Gao Pragmatic was startled, took a look at his clothes, and said doubtfully, "Really? Is this revealing something?"
Gao Zhang shook his head and said, "It's not about the appearance, but the bearing. You are too confident. Although the students are respected locally, there is clearly the confidence of the distant students in your eyes, although the common people may not have seen it." You are not a high-ranking official, but you have always seen some scholars. How can you be so considerate and considerate of yourself?"
Gao pragmatic laughed and scolded, "Don't use words indiscriminately, I don't care about Zixiong." However, he changed his demeanor slightly, imagining that he was about to see Queen Mother Li, and immediately became a lot more cautious.
Gao Zhang's eyes lit up and he praised, "It's like this now. I have some confidence, but more importantly I am cautious."
Gao Pingshi laughed and said, "Okay, okay, it seems that your vision is indeed good. Thank you for your advice."
Gao Zhang was startled and said he didn't dare.
Gao pragmatic waved to Cao Ke and said, "Prepare a few more broken silver and some copper coins for me, and we'll get them out right away."
After all, Liuzhou Prefecture is an important town in central Guangxi. Gao Pragmatic felt that safety was guaranteed, so the two of them quietly slipped out of the Procuratorate with Cao Ke, who had changed into a coarse cloth. The guard at this door had already been taken care of by Gao Zhang, so of course he pretended not to see it. When they walked out of the second line of defense, the guards didn't know Gao Pragmatic and Cao Ke. Anyway, they were given instructions to be strict in entering and easy in exiting, so they didn't bother to pay attention.
When he got to the street, Gao Qingshi was a little confused, because he had been a homebody for almost all these years, and rarely went out, so he didn't know where to go.
Cao Ke saw Gao Pragmatic's embarrassment and suppressed a smile and said, "Sir, in your capacity, you usually have several choices when going out on the street in broad daylight. The first one is to buy the Four Treasures of the Study or various time essay templates. The second one is shopping. The third is to go to a brothel, the fourth is to eat and drink, the fifth is to go to a cloth shop or a clothing store to buy clothes, the sixth is to go to the slave market to buy people."
Gao Jingshi had already made up his mind and said, "Then let's go to the clothing store to buy clothes. Gao Zhang is very majestic. I think his clothes are a little too loose."
Cao Ke slowly entered the role at this time and responded quickly, saying, "I have already asked, I want to go to Bei City to buy clothes. Although I don't know the way specifically, I can just walk all the way north and ask for directions when I get to a similar place. "
Gao Pragmatic didn't have much experience, so he arranged whatever he wanted, and the two of them, one master and one servant, happily went to Bei City.
However, the weather did not go as planned. The changeable climate in the south gave them a glimpse of what it means to be in the end of summer. The child's face was bright and sunny when he came out. However, after just one stick of incense, the sky turned dark. When we got down, Gao Pangshi was in trouble, and the drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Gao Pangshi and Cao Ke looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to temporarily put off their plans to buy clothes at a clothing store. They looked around, picked a restaurant that looked the most spacious and ran in to take shelter from the rain.
Gao pragmatically dressed up. Although his clothes were not luxurious, they were not bad. He looked like a handsome young man in his clothes. Even the boy behind him looked quite good and clean. Yes, he is a good customer at first glance.
The waiter's eyes lit up and he hurriedly came up to him and said, "You two gentlemen, would you like to have a meal?"
Gao pragmatically estimated the time. It was only half an hour before lunch. It didn't matter if he ate earlier. Maybe the weather would clear up after the meal.
So he smiled and said, "Let's have a meal then."
The waiter welcomed them to a place by the window with a smile on his face, and introduced, "Although this place is by the window, it has the wind at its back, and it will never rain. What dishes do you want to order? Your accents don't sound like locals." Guys, let me introduce to you two. Our store has roast goose, braised seven-inch, goose chin, dry pot dog meat, rattan pepper roll powder, taro cake, stuffed tofu, dew glutinous rice balls, stuffed mushrooms, yuba meatballs, Dong Xiang meat skewers, Longcheng roasted sugarcane, boiled suckling dog, bamboo skewers of shrimps, white-cut chicken, fermented sausage, sour fish, sour meat, Huaiqi stewed bone marrow."
Upon hearing this, Gao Pingshi quickly stopped him and said, "Stay here, stay here. Just have two meat, two vegetables and one soup. No offal."
The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, griddle dog meat, boiled chicken, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed tofu, and boiled river fish soup." After that, he asked, "Sir, would you like some drinks?"
"No, that's all."
Just as the waiter left, Gao Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "The shopkeeper is here, get rid of all the irrelevant people quickly, Cen family"
Before the man could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted. A cold voice said, "There's no need to chase people away. Just come out in a private room."
Gao Pangshi and Cao Ke were sitting by the window. They subconsciously followed the sound and saw seven or eight big men standing on the road in front of the door with their chests and belly protruding. A young man in white with a handsome face walked away gracefully holding a gold-painted black bone fan. Come in.
Gao Jingshi was still thinking about the word "Cen family" that he had just interrupted, when he heard Cao Ke, who was across the table, said in great surprise, "Hey, young master, I didn't expect that there is someone more elegant than you in Liuzhou Mansion."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely that I don't rely on my face to make a living.
Then he glared at Cao Ke and warned, "This person is not simple, please stop talking."
Cao Ke just thought he was annoyed that the young man in white was so handsome, so he suppressed a smile and nodded.
Unexpectedly, the young man in white just walked into the restaurant. He glanced around subconsciously and saw Gao Pangshi and Cao Ke talking secretly. He frowned slightly, looked them over, and fixed his eyes on Gao Pragmatic.
