At this time, the prefect Lu Qingzhi was sitting in the back hall of the government office. He took out a handful of his favorite Longjing tea and put it into the tea set he had carefully prepared. Then he poured the spring water from the mountain with careful movements.
, for fear of missing a drop. Mountain spring water is the best water for making tea. It can maximize the color, aroma, taste, shape, etc. of the tea, allowing people to have a more wonderful enjoyment during the tea tasting.
The saying "There are various kinds of tea, and there are various kinds of water. Only good water and good tea will make the tea taste beautiful." This is exactly how to taste tea.
Tasting tea is something Lu Qingzhi loves very much. After working every day, he will make a pot of strong tea in the back hall of the government office and taste the sweet tea juice. This is Longjing tea that he has treasured for a long time. If it is not the Chinese New Year,
If so, he would not be willing to take it out and drink it. After all, for someone like Lu Zhifu who loves tea, even if he does not regard it as life, he still cherishes tea like gold.
"How can anyone explain the fragrance of tea when it is said by ordinary people that it is wine? How wonderful it is!"
Magistrate Lu took a sip of the freshly brewed green tea and felt a touch of sweetness in his mouth, which made him feel relaxed and happy, and then he couldn't help but chant.
Just as Lu Qingzhi was reminiscing about the strong fragrance of tea, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then a boy came in and announced: "Report to the magistrate, Duke An, and the governor!"
After hearing what the young man said, Lu Qingyi looked confused. Duke An Guo and the Governor? Did he hear it correctly? The small Chongming Mansion could actually attract these two big shots to arrive at the same time?
Lu Qingzhi doubted his ears, and then hurriedly asked the boy again, "Can you tell me who is here?"
"Reporting to the prefect, it is Duke An and the governor!"
Hearing the boy's answer again, Lu Qingzhi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. How could these two giant Buddhas come here? He hadn't heard anything about it either.
"Which Lord Governor?"
"It's our Governor of Huaiyuan Province, Mr. Xu!"
Hearing the boy's extremely affirmative words, Lu Qingzhi was shocked. Lord Xu, who was appointed governor of Huaiyuan Province, was his immediate superior. Needless to say, Duke An Guo was recognized by the entire Daxia Kingdom.
He is his! He was once a majestic battlefield general. In order to allow him to enjoy his old age, the emperor specially named him An Guogong. You must know that since the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, those who have the title of Duke of An are considered to be very talented.
Three people, including Duke An Guo, how can this not be surprising?
However, why did these two giant Buddhas suddenly come to me? Could it be that I was falsely accused by some hateful officials? I thought that I had been an honest and upright official for many years, and I had offended many people in the officialdom. Could it be that these two people were sent by the superiors?
Investigate yourself? But just check, anyway, you are not afraid of slanting shadows.
Lu Qingzhi quickly stood up and asked the boy hastily, "Where is the road?"
"We've arrived outside the government office!"
"Why don't you greet them quickly?" Lu Qingzhi stood up quickly. His immediate boss and a prince came to his government office. As a small prefect, how could he dare to neglect them?
Outside the government office, Lu Qingzhi and all the government officials formed a team to welcome the arrival of the two adults.
"For your humble position, please refer to the Governor-General and the Duke of the country."
Governor Xu Yannian nodded, "My dear brother Qing, how are you? I haven't seen you for a long time. You are more energetic and high-spirited!"
Xu Yannian greeted Lu Qingzhi for a while, and then he and An Guogong took the lead to walk into the government office. Lu Qingzhi and a group of officers and others hurriedly followed behind. After all, everyone knew what titles these two people held in Daxia Kingdom.
In Daxia Kingdom, no matter where they go, no one would dare to neglect these two people, right?
In the hall, the Governor and Duke An were sitting at the front. Lu Qingzhi and everyone in the government office were standing respectfully in the hall, with solemn expressions, and some even had a trace of nervousness on their faces. After all, such a big official
This was the first time they met.
"Your Majesty, Lu Qingzhi, may I ask these two gentlemen what you are doing?" Although Lu Qingzhi was a little confused, he was not as nervous as others. After all, he had been an official for many years and there were many senior officials in the capital.
"Brother Qingzhi, don't be nervous, please take a seat." Governor Xu Yannian made an inviting gesture to the seat next to him.
"This trip is under the decree of the Holy One, specifically to cooperate with Duke An Guo's actions. If An Guo Gong gives any orders in the future, you just have to do your best to cooperate!" Xu Yannian looked at Lu Qingzhi who was sitting on the guest seat, and then turned his gaze to
An Guogong beside him.
Then Lu Qingzhi also turned his attention to Duke An. You must know that although this Duke only has one arm, he was a general who galloped on the battlefield and killed countless enemies. It is said that those who lost their lives under him could even
Pile up the entire Wei River!
Thinking of this, Lu Qingzhi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. This was a bit too scary.
"Mr. An Guogong, do you have any instructions? Please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best!" Lu Qingzhi did not dare to neglect, his eyes were full of respect, and he said quickly.
This Lord An Guogong was clearly Xiao Tai! A heroic spirit appeared between his brows, and a majestic look burst out from his face, instantly filling the entire hall.
"Master Lu, you have been the prefect of Chongming Prefecture for many years, but have you ever heard of the Three Gods Sect?" Xiao Tai asked Lu Qingzhi directly without being verbose, with a deep voice.
"Three Gods Cult? Your official has heard about it. It is said that this Three Gods Cult mainly operates around the Weishui River and the Yellow River, promoting their doctrines and attracting many believers!"
Lu Qingzhi quickly reported all the information he knew to An Guogong without any hesitation.
"Sure enough!" Xiao Tai nodded. His Majesty's imperial edict this time was very clear. He wanted to come and thoroughly investigate the Three Gods Sect. It is said that they are very powerful in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, recruiting many believers, and have even secretly mastered several religions.
Counties in various prefectures came here to destroy the Three Gods Religion.
"Lord Lu, please cheer up your men this time, select some smart people, and secretly investigate the affairs of the Three Gods Religion. When you take action, my people will cooperate with you." An Guogong is also not doing anything.
Procrastinate and give the order directly.
"Yes, sir!" Lu Qingzhi nodded quickly, and then wiped a handful of cold sweat. Talking to Duke An was really energy-consuming, and he was already sweating profusely after just a short while.
"You two adults are tired from traveling and traveling, so why don't you let me express your feelings to my superiors? Our most famous restaurant is Wangyouju. I will prepare a small amount of wine at Wangyouju to welcome you two adults. How about that?" Lu Qingzhi
With a smile on his face, he said respectfully, although he said he was an honest man and didn't have much money, at least he still understood the basics of human nature and sophistication.
Xiao Tai originally wanted to refuse on the grounds that he was on official business, but Xu Yannian persuaded him to go back, so he stopped making excuses and happened to be hungry, so he followed Lu Qingzhi to Wangyouju.
Let's talk about Xiao Chu and Xiao Changan. It was already evening when they returned home.
The family had dinner, and then Xiao Changan called Xiao Chu aside and said mysteriously, "Little guy, were you secretly memorizing while I was studying?"
Hearing these words, Xiao Chu's face flashed with black lines. Is this why he called himself mysteriously? But then he thought about it, and it seemed that this explanation was quite good, and then he said to Xiao Chang'an sternly, "Well
, I was afraid that you would be angry if you found out, so I didn’t dare to tell you. You won’t be angry, right?”
Xiao Chu pretended to have a pitiful look on his face. After all, he was the best at telling lies!
Xiao Changan's face was full of excitement. It was just as he had guessed, and then a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. Sure enough, this talented boy of the Xiao family was cultivated by himself. It seems that although he is not good at reading exams,
But he still has a good way of teaching. Xiao Changan was obviously a little carried away, and he even started to put gold on his face.
Xiao Chu didn't argue with him, but gave Xiao Changan a big white eye in his heart, thinking, just be happy!
Just when the Xiao family was about to fall asleep, they suddenly heard shouting outside, followed by the sound of horses galloping, and then the sound of wailing.
"No, the bandits are coming, everyone, run away!"
What, the bandits are here? Mr. Xiao ran out of the room with a look of panic on his face. There is indeed a group of bandits in Dingyuan County, but they are far away from them. Why did they suddenly come here today?
