Chapter 57 Famous Officials
The county seat of Bohai County is located in Yangxin County. Gao Bufan rushed to Yangxin County naturally planned to find the prefect Lu Chisong. Compared with the county magistrate of Qing County, Gao Bufan was more confident in convincing the prefect Lu.
First of all, as the highest executive of Bohai County, Lu Chisong has greater power, and his pattern and vision should be greater than that of the county officials. Secondly, Lu Chisong praised Gao Bufan's poems and had a lot of eyes, so Gao Bufan came to ask for a meeting and should not be rejected.
Yangxin County is a bit far from Xixian County. Gao Bufan rode his horse all the way and rested twice. He arrived at Yangxin County at almost noon. Fortunately, there was no city gate here, and there were even many people coming in and out. It was probably still far from Gaojipo, so the people here were not so panicked.
Gao Bufan led his horse into the city and found the gate of the prefect's mansion. He was about to report the name to see Prefect Lu, but a fast horse galloped from behind him until the steps in front of the gate stopped. The horse's four hooves even rubbed a series of sparks on the stone slabs.
Gao Bufan was slightly surprised and subconsciously stopped to calm down. He saw the knight on his horse wearing a public uniform and hanging a single knife on his waist. Seeing that he was dressed as a constable, the man looked panicked and even fell down when he got off the horse, got up and stumbled into the gate of the prefect's mansion.
However, two yamen runners in charge of guarding the door stopped him and shouted, "Where did it come from? The government office is important, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass!"
It is obvious that this constable is not from the prefect's office!
The detective staggered and stood up, lit up his waist sign, and shouted anxiously: "I am the detective Chen Ming of Zhangnan County. Zhangnan County was captured by the thief Zhang Jin said yesterday. The county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate and lord Bo Jun have died. Hu Yi escaped by luck. I came to report to the prefect and get out of here quickly!"
The two guards' faces changed drastically, and one of them hurriedly took the Constable Chen from Zhangnan County in.
Gao Bufan was not far away, so he heard it very clearly and was shocked. Zhang Jin said that he had actually captured Zhangnan County. This is really bad. Zhang Jin said that he was afraid that his strength would be higher than the next level. If he did not eliminate it quickly, he would be in danger!
"Brother, please, please!" Gao Bufan stepped forward and bowed and greeted him. The gatekeeper obviously hadn't recovered from his shock and nodded absent-mindedly.
Seeing this, Gao Bufan raised his voice slightly and said, "Gao Bufan, the young owner of Feiying Horse Farm in Xianaixiang County, is here to visit the prefect. Please send me a message on your behalf."
"I heard that, I'm not deaf!" The yapa rolled his eyes a little dissatisfied, but he also looked Gao Bufan again and asked in confusion: "You are... the talented man Gao Changqing of Qingxian County who wrote "Ask the Moon with Drinking"?"
"Uh... it's just the next one!" Gao Bufan was quite surprised. He just "written" a poem, and he became so famous. Even the yamen here knew about it?
Little did he know that Lu Chisong was born in the Lu family of Fanyang. This family passed down the family through poetry and books and praised Confucianism. Lu Chisong was even more fond of chanting poetry and writing counterfeits. The people below naturally followed him to the top and the bottom, which became a trend. Gao Bufan was amazed by the song "Write the Moon" at the dinner that day, and won the title of prefect and won the favor of prefect Lu. His reputation had long been spread in the official circle of Bohai County, and the yamen officer of the prefect's office had naturally heard of it.
The yamen officer's attitude became obviously enthusiastic and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is really a young master. Please come in and inform you now."
Gao Bufan thanked him and followed the yamen into the mansion. This was the first time he truly felt the benefits of fame. No wonder there was a saying in ancient times that as long as a person's fame is successfully cultivated, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort in anything he did. This is similar to the so-called traffic stars in later generations.
Let’s talk about the yamen who took Gao Bufan to the side hall to wait, and then went in to report it. However, Gao Bufan waited for half an hour and had not waited for the reception from Prefect Lu. His stomach was so hungry that he was rumbling. He couldn’t help but feel anxious. He was waiting to return to the horse farm before dark!
After another half an hour, a guy who looked like a master finally came in. The guy was ugly, but he had to have an old face, as if the whole world owed him thousands of dollars. He hugged Gao Bufan and said coldly, "You are Gao Changqing, a talented man in Xi County?"
It can be heard that this guy deliberately bit the word "talented man" seriously, which is quite ironic. Gao Bufan frowned imperceptibly. He was a newcomer and seemed to have not offended this person, right? Or are the people in the prefecture's house such people with a higher attitude than the top?
Although I felt a little unhappy, I had something to ask for, so Gao Bufan didn't want to make trouble. He stood up and politely replied: "I am Gao Changqing, and I dare not regard himself as a talented man."
The master looked up and down at Gao Bufan, and his ugly face slowed down slightly and said, "Talented Gao is quite modest, but the prefect has no time to see you now, please come back!"
Gao Bufan hurriedly said, "If you have important things in your hometown, please ask the prefect to take time to see you in your busy schedule."
The master's face darkened and he snorted coldly: "Gao Changqing, do you really think it's amazing to write a good poem that you have passed down from generation to generation? You can't see it as soon as you want. Go away quickly. The city gate will be closed soon. If you are late, you can't leave."
Gao Bufan was surprised when he heard this and blurted out: "Why do you need to close the city gate?"
The master said impatiently: "The thief Zhang Jin said that he had captured Zhangnan County. The adults in the county were very scared. If they didn't close the city gate, would they close your toilet door?"
Not to mention that this master is not only ugly but also speaks very sarcastic and annoying, but it is so strange that he dares to even prefect Lu.
Gao Bufan was so choked that he almost couldn't speak. He said patiently: "I'm asking for a meeting with the prefect, which is related to the great thief Zhang Jincheng."
The master was already very impatient, but when he heard this, his expression changed and he blurted out: "Take it serious?"
Gao Bufan nodded affirmatively: "Long Zexiao talks to the prefect!"
The master frowned and thought to himself that this kid shouldn't have joked about such an important thing, so he turned around and left quickly. He turned around in less than half a cup of tea and said with a stern face: "The prefect invites Mr. Gao to meet him in the living room. It is of great importance. Mr. Gao should not be targeted without any reason, otherwise the prefect will blame him, and I will not be able to bear it."
Gao Bufan is a little funny. Just now, your hometown was sarcastic and harsh in his hometown, but now he is worried about being blamed?
"Human life is at stake, how can we be aimless? By the way, how can we ask your name Gao?" Gao Bufan asked indifferently.
