Chapter 96: Sesame Officer(1/2)
The Governor's Mansion.
In front of the door.
Hu Fei glared at Teng Ziqian, and was already thinking about how to deal with Teng Ziqian, because he had already guessed that Teng Ziqian would definitely embarrass himself by having a higher official position than him.
"Teruma!"
Teng Ziqian raised his head and said disdainfully.
Hearing Teng Ziqian's answer, Hu Fei almost couldn't breathe!
If he remembers correctly, Zhaomo is the lowest official position in the Metropolitan Governor's Office! He is in charge of surveying and auditing, and is responsible for statistical recording of the department's revenue and expenditure. It is only the eighth rank!
To put it bluntly, he is the same as Mr. Hu’s accountant!
"You have just entered the Governor's Mansion. It is a kindness to be given an eighth-grade official position. Otherwise, based on your ability, judging from this young master, even if you are assigned to clean the stables every day, it will be a compliment to you."
Teng Ziqian looked at Hu Fei with disgust and said proudly.
"You are talking so lively, I would like to ask you, what kind of official are you?!"
Hu Fei gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice.
"Everything is right, seventh rank!"
Teng Ziqian straightened his chest and said proudly.
But after hearing Teng Ziqian's answer, Hu Fei couldn't help laughing and breathed a sigh of relief.
"why are you laughing?!"
Feeling the contempt in Hu Fei's eyes, Teng Ziqian's face darkened and he asked sternly.
"I thought that no matter how old an official is, he is just one level higher than me. But he is also a small official. How can he have the courage to boss him around here?"
Hu Fei said with a sneer.
"Even so, this young master is one level higher than you! When you meet this young master, you must also address me as Lord Teng!"
Teng Ziqian looked at Hu Fei angrily and said through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry, you're not qualified yet, so just go and stay where you can to cool off!"
Hu Fei snorted disdainfully, turned around and continued walking inside.
"Hu Fei!"
"If a subordinate is disrespectful to his superior, he has violated military law. I have the right to teach you a lesson. Do you believe it?!"
Teng Ziqian quickly caught up with Hu Fei, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said angrily, his face turning red.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Hu Fei directly raised the imperial edict in his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Are you sure you want me to kneel in front of you with the imperial edict?"
Hu Fei looked at Teng Ziqian with a sneer and asked word by word.
Seeing the imperial edict in Hu Fei's hand, Teng Ziqian was speechless for a moment, and his face turned as dark as a pig's liver.
"You are using chicken feathers as command arrows. Don't say that you are only a seventh-grade person. Even if Li Wenzhong comes in person, it still depends on whether I am happy or not!"
"Everything? Isn't it just a broken document?"
"A useless person who can't even write a poem has been given a job by a common man. The world is in decline!"
Hu Fei shook his head and muttered something while talking.
Teng Ziqian froze on the spot, glaring fiercely at Hu Fei's back, his eyes full of resentment.
...
Governor's office.
The left governor, Li Wenzhong, was crouching on the desk processing military reports, while two attendants were guarding the door.
Originally, there were two governors in the Dudu's Mansion, the left and the right, who were in charge of all military affairs. However, in the ninth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the right governor, so now Li Wenzhong is the only governor in the Dudu's Mansion, and can also be called the Grand Governor.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and the exhausted Teng Ziqian came to the door. Just as he was about to come in, he was stopped by two attendants guarding the door.
Teng Ziqian, who was originally angry because Hu Fei mocked him for his low official position, now saw that he was actually stopped by two attendants, and his resentment deepened.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, I will report something to my subordinates."
Teng Ziqian endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, raised his head and shouted inside.
"Let him in."
Li Wenzhong, who was at his desk handling military affairs, looked up and said lightly.
After hearing Li Wenzhong's words, the attendant at the door gave way.
Teng Ziqian glared at the two attendants and quickly walked into the room.
"Teng Ziqian, the lower official, has met the governor."
Teng Ziqian took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.
"What's the matter?"
Li Wenzhong asked casually without even raising his head this time.
"Inform the Governor, Hu Fei is here."
Teng Ziqian cupped his hands and said slowly.
Hearing Hu Fei's name, Li Wenzhong couldn't help but frown and glanced at Teng Ziqian, but said nothing.
Calculating the time, today is the day Hu Fei reports for duty. There is nothing strange about him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang decided to let Hu Fei enter the Dudu's Mansion, the Dudu's Mansion had already received the holy will.
"What? You don't want him to come?"
Li Wenzhong lowered his head and asked slowly.
"No, the governor misunderstood."
"It's just that he was supposed to go with his subordinates to follow some regulations, but not only did he not go, he also despised his superiors, refused to salute, and even moved out the imperial edict to show off in front of the mansion. It is simply inappropriate!"
Teng Ziqian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
After listening to Teng Ziqian's words, Li Wenzhong couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Hu Fei would dare to use His Majesty's imperial edict as a tool to deal with Teng Ziqian.
However, based on his understanding of Hu Fei, it was not surprising that he would do such a thing, and he also knew that Teng Ziqian and Hu Fei had a long-standing grudge, and Teng Ziqian must have embarrassed Hu Fei in public.
"When you say you despise your boss, are you talking about you?"
Li Wenzhong raised his head, glanced at Teng Ziqian, and asked slowly, without showing any dissatisfaction with Hu Fei.
When Teng Ziqian heard this, he was speechless for a moment and looked a little unnatural.
"I don't care how you look down on each other outside, but this is the Governor's Mansion, you'd better abide by your duties and do your own thing well, otherwise, this Governor will never let you off lightly!"
Li Wenzhong snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.
He did not want Teng Ziqian and Hu Fei to use the Governor's Mansion as a place to fight with each other.
After listening to Li Wenzhong's words, Teng Ziqian's face instantly turned pale and he hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"I don't dare!"
He did not expect that he originally wanted to sue Hu Fei, but in the end he was reprimanded by Li Wenzhong.
"Captain, Hu Fei also said some things, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Then, Teng Ziqian rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.
"speak!"
Li Wenzhong said in a deep voice.
"Hu Fei ignored Xiaguan's matter. Xiaguan didn't take it to heart, but he actually said that even if you, the governor, appear in front of him, whether you salute or not depends on his mood."
"The words relayed by the official are already somewhat obscure, and his original words are even more ugly. They are simply arrogant and don't take you seriously at all!"
Teng Ziqian hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
After listening to Teng Ziqian's words, Li Wenzhong's face instantly darkened. Even though he no longer wanted to interfere in the affairs between Teng Ziqian and Hu Fei, he couldn't help but feel a little angry at this time.
"He really said that?!"
Li Wenzhong looked at Teng Ziqian and asked sharply.
"It's absolutely true. The guards at the door have also heard it. If the governor doesn't believe it, he can summon them for questioning."
Teng Ziqian nodded and said affirmatively.
"Where is he now?!"
Li Wenzhong asked coldly with a sullen face.
"She should have gone to the workplace."
Teng Ziqian replied hurriedly, with a proud sneer flashing in his eyes.
