Gao Pragmatic said these words very easily, but Huang Ma's scalp went numb when she heard them.
In fact, he had known for a long time that Cen Ling came with Gao Press this time, and with the relationship between Cen Ling and him, it was impossible not to slander him in front of Gao Press, but he did not expect that Gao Press would do it in person. Make a show of your own power.
After all, this is Lingyun City!
Did Gao Yuntai think that he could walk sideways through Lingyun City with the help of the three hundred servants behind him and Cen Ling's three hundred personal guard wolf soldiers? Or is he simply unaware of this?
Or is it that he just wants to show the majesty of the patrol and is essentially just giving a warning to himself?
After all, Huang Ma is a character who can endure for many years and deceive Cen Shaoxun's trust before suddenly launching a "coup". The situation is unclear at the moment. Although the high patrol officer's attitude is cold, after all, there is no obvious murderous intention. Huang Ma's thoughts are endless, and finally he bows his head and pleads guilty again. : "The lower official is aware of his guilt."
This time, he really didn't dare to say anything that deserved death.
Gao pragmatic glanced at the wolf soldiers on the road ahead. It was obvious that they were all a little angry. Although they were kneeling, they all secretly looked this way.
Seeing Huang Ma who had relented again, Gao Qingshi said calmly: "Since you know your guilt, get up first and don't show off your rhetoric in front of me in the future."
He paused and then said: "I am inspecting the whole of Guangxi. What I want to see is whether the local officials abide by the rules and laws and act in accordance with the court system. I don't have time to care about other things. Do you understand?"
Hey, what does this mean?
Huang Ma glanced up quietly in surprise, but saw Gao Pragmatic looking at Cen Ling at this moment. Huang Ma couldn't help but feel happy, and said to herself: It seems that it was Cen Ling who encouraged Gao Antai to operate on me, but Gao Antai didn't seem to want to cause trouble, so he only warned me, and at the same time asked Cen Ling expressed what he meant.
Ha, let me just say, this matter of Cen Shaoxun is just an internal matter in Sicheng. Why should Gao Yuntai help Cen Ling? This is completely inconsistent with the consistent practice of the imperial court and makes no sense!
Isn't the consistent style of the imperial court to restrict the chieftains and support the chieftains and chieftains to fight for power?
It seems that this high-ranking official is acting so coquettishly in front of me because of Cen Ling's affection. His most fundamental attitude has not changed, and he still does not want to interfere in the internal affairs of Sicheng Prefecture.
In this case, you might as well give him some face, hehe... a civil servant.
"I understand. I must abide by the rules and laws and cooperate with the inspection." Huang Ma put on her honest look again and responded politely.
Gao pragmatic nodded with great satisfaction, but he still looked like he was invincible in the world. He pulled him as hard as 2,580,000 yuan and said calmly: "Get up and lead the way."
I don't know whether he said "get up" to Huang Ma alone or to the seven earth eyes together, but everyone knew how to pretend, so when they heard this, they all got up quickly, and fortunately they were on the stage. No more words were said.
Huang Ma was stunned just now, and the others didn't want to know how bad Gao Zhantai's temper was, so they bowed and stood aside obediently, not daring to say more than a word.
Gao pragmatically waited for Huang Ma to lead the way, but he didn't even get off the horse. He lightly patted the horse's butt and walked forward slowly. He didn't even tell his servants to dismount.
In this way, Huang Ma and others led the way. Because Gao Pragmatic did not dismount, he looked like a servant leading the horse with the stirrup hanging down. How could he have any earth-eyed style?
But now that Huang Ma has endured it, the wolf soldiers under his command can only follow dejectedly. How can there be any momentum at all?
Silently all the way, the group gradually went up the mountain. Only when we went up the mountain did we realize the magic of Lingyun City. It turned out that this city was exactly what Cen Ling said before. There was a river passing through the city. After passing the city, the river slowly flowed down the mountain.
The magic of this city is truly rare. Judging from this situation, Lingyun City will not be easily besieged to death unless the river water is poisoned on a large scale. However, this kind of thing is both inhumane and difficult to do - how many poisonous sources are needed to pollute a river and maintain its toxicity?
No wonder Huang Ma was so confident that she almost had a breakdown just now.
After entering the city, a large number of Guixi chieftains, big and small, were already waiting at the state government office. Huang Ma had already arranged for Cen Shaoxun to "recuperate during his illness". Naturally, he was not in the state government office. The state government office was just free to receive Gao Xunjian and other chieftains. .
When facing the chieftains, Gao's pragmatic attitude was better than before. Although he was still reserved and put on airs, at least he was not expressionless forever.
The chieftains have long been accustomed to the virtues of civil servants in the imperial court, especially the young patrol officer Gao Jingshi. They think it is natural to have a temper, but they don't think it is wrong at all, and they all come forward to introduce themselves. Gao Pangshi followed the rules and greeted them - of course, since he was a superior official, he could just sit down and answer the greetings.
Cen Ling and Huang Ma have never spoken. They rarely even look at each other in the distance. Occasionally their eyes meet, but they always snort and look away, with a look of "I don't want to see you." Really disgusted with each other.
When everyone met, Gao Jingshi really took the inspection seriously. He ordered each chieftain to briefly describe the important aspects of their governance, and then submitted some files to Gao Jingshi for review.
In fact, their files are pitiful. In places where officials from the imperial court are in charge, most of the things are recorded in files, which is very convenient for verification. However, these chieftains are different. If the records are not recorded, it is really bad. It all depends on your mood, after all, the court didn't check in the past.
Fortunately, Gao Pingshi didn't really intend to find out anything from the case files and files. After receiving these files, he said that he was tired from the journey and would stop here for today. For other things, he would invite all the chieftains to come one by one tomorrow. Inquire for details.
Huang Ma hurriedly came out of the queue and said that the reception banquet has been prepared. Please go to the stage and move with the chieftains. Although the governor of Lingyun City is not here today, he still has to show his loyalty to the landlord.
Gao pragmatic seemed to have expected this scene, and he agreed easily without making any fuss, which made Huang Ma, who had always been nervous, breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Gao Pragmatic's high airs still made Huang Ma a little annoyed, because this patrol manager was surrounded by a large number of servants even when he went to have a meal, which was simply inexplicable.
However, a person behind him smiled and explained to him: "Brother, don't worry. When I went to Guilin last time, I heard someone said that this Gao Xun's family is very rich. Not only is he worth millions, but his uncle is even richer." It's amazing - Changlu Salt Farm belongs to his uncle's family, brother, this is a business worth millions of taels of silver a year."
Huang Ma was really shocked: "How many millions? How much money can we pay in various tributes in a year in Sicheng Prefecture?"
How much silver? Sicheng Prefecture is a Tuzhili Prefecture. Every three years, Sicheng Prefecture submits sixteen high-quality horses to the imperial court, with each horse worth twenty-four taels of silver. The silver incense burner is paid in full. It pays one thousand six hundred and forty-six shi and nine dou of grain every year. Go to Changpingcang, Pennsylvania, and get seven coins of silver per stone.
If those who are good at accounting are added together, the total is less than 1,300 taels per year. Even if the silver incense burner and other items are added, it will be more than 1,400 taels. The only thing worth mentioning is that the horses offered are not war horses, but short-footed horses that are special to Yunnan, Guangxi and other places. They eat less and do much more work. They are also extremely docile and very useful in mountainous areas. The only drawback is that this It's not good to use a stallion as a war horse.
Therefore, Huang Ma, a Tumu who had never seen much of the world, naturally felt his liver tremble when he heard the transaction of several million taels of silver. When he thought about it, Gao Xun's family was so rich, so it would have been more grand. Indeed, it should be true. If someone like him, Huang, were as rich as him, why would he have to cover his carpets when he went out?
He no longer had any doubts and honestly led the way to the place where the banquet was being held.
