Realizing the good intentions behind the Dengzhou County Magistrate, even Xiao Han couldn't help but become interested in this life, so he asked.
"To be honest, Lord Marquis, my county magistrate is exactly..." Upon seeing this, Mr. Liu was about to give a serious reply, but suddenly he saw a column of smoke in the distance, rolling towards this direction!
At the same time, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats also reached everyone's ears.
"Um?"
Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, Xiao Han and others raised their heads and looked into the distance!
But I saw a vague figure at the front of the smoke column in the distance, approaching quickly towards here!
"Why does this person feel familiar?"
Looking at the figure getting closer and closer, Xiao Han somehow felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart!
But before he could recall carefully, he had seen this person there! The figure on the horse had already galloped to the vicinity of the porridge factory!
When we got here, there was a sea of people in front of us!
But unlike Xiao Han and Master Liu who had to force their way in, when they saw the person coming, the victims who were waiting for the porridge looked excited and hurriedly made way for him!
Not only that, when this man rode by on horseback, there were many victims on both sides who knelt down with their families and kowtowed to this man in excitement!
"Master Hou? Where is Master Hou?"
There was no time to respond to the victims who were kneeling on the ground. The county magistrate, who was wearing a green official robe and a black gauze hat, shouted urgently, rode his horse, and rushed directly to the edge of the wooden fence!
Then, when he came here and saw Xiao Han clearly in the fence, he was so excited that he started to swing on his horse!
"Master Hou, it's really you! I finally see you again!"
Then, before anyone could react, the county magistrate had jumped off his horse, got directly through the gap in the fence, picked up Xiao Han's thigh, and started crying with tears and runny noses!
"Master Hou! Master Hou! Long time no see, I miss you so much!"
"Old Hong? You are, you are Fatty Hong!"
Hearing the word "Lao Hong" suddenly, a familiar figure finally appeared in Xiao Han's mind! Immediately shocked, he quickly stopped the idiot who wanted to step forward and kicked him, and stared straight at him with his eyes.
Sad guy crying at his feet.
This person turned out to be the Fatty Hong he met in Lingnan before?!
Of course, I don’t blame Xiao Han for not recognizing him right away. The difference between Fatty Hong today and the Fatty Hong before was so big!
Today’s Fatty Hong should be renamed Slim Hong!
Not only is his big belly gone, but his skin color has become more than a little darker! When the county magistrate's official uniform is put on him, he feels like he is wearing a lantern suit!
How could he still look so wealthy and noble when he was in Lingnan?
"You, how did you become like this?"
Seeing Fatty Hong smearing his nose and tears on his trouser legs, Xiao Han resisted the urge to kick him out and asked suspiciously: "Didn't the Ministry of Personnel transfer you back to Chang'an? Why, you
Will you appear here again?"
"I...I..." Hearing Xiao Han ask about this, Fatty Hong immediately cried louder, and heard him say twitchingly: "I was transferred back to Chang'an under your care, Lord Marquis! But!
After returning to Chang'an
Not long after, a censor impeached Xia Guan, saying that Xia Guan had been negligent in his work when he was in Lingnan and had betrayed the divine grace! However...then the Ministry of Personnel directly took away Xia Guan's official status and sent him to the horse prison to raise horses.
…”
At this point, maybe because he thought of the sad things before, Fatty Hong cried even harder: "I, although I have not made much achievements in Lingnan, can you blame me? Why, why should I shovel horse manure and chop it up every day?
Horse material..."
Seeing Fatty Hong's appearance, Xiao Han was also a little unhappy.
Although there seems to be nothing wrong with the impeachment of the censor, the place in Lingnan is different from ordinary places. It can be said that whoever goes there knows!
Not to mention Fatty Hong, a seventh-grade sesame official with no foundation and no backing, even if he sent a third-grade imperial official originally, he would probably be like Fatty Hong, unable to do anything!
There are so many local government officials suppressing it, and the Feng family is such a local emperor! If it is a dragon, it has to be coiled up, and if it is a tiger, it has to be nestled!
Otherwise, the imperial court will probably get the news that "he is not acclimatized to the local environment and will die as a guest in a foreign country".
"Okay! Why are you crying! Aren't you the county magistrate again now?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Han patted Fatty Hong's thin shoulder, then forcibly pulled him up from the ground and asked: "By the way, why did you return to the county magistrate from Bima Wensheng before you said it?"
"I...I..." Fatty Hong just cried bitterly, venting all the grievances he had felt in the past few days. After being pulled up from the ground by Xiao Han, he wiped his face hard to calm down his excitement.
, then continued:
"At that time, I thought that this would be the end of my life, but a few days ago, there was trouble here in Shandong, and almost all officials had to be re-appointed!
I don't know why, but my Majesty remembered me in a daze. I was still working hard cleaning the stables in the morning, and in the afternoon I received the order. I was sent to Dengzhou overnight and became the county magistrate of Dengzhou...
"
"Oh? You mean, His Majesty thought of you and asked you to be the magistrate of Dengzhou County?"
When Xiao Han heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and the doubts in his mind suddenly became clear.
He was still thinking just now, how could a censor become interested in a mere seventh-grade official like Fatty Hong, and go out of his way to impeach him!
Now it seems that it is not that the imperial censor does not like Fatty Hong, but that His Majesty does not like him!
As for why he doesn't like him? Xiao Han can generally think of the reason.
It was simply that the emperor was full of hope and sent Fatty Hong to Lingnan, hoping that he could make some achievements.
As a result, after this guy went there, he immediately turned into a fat domesticated pig. He slept, ate, and slept all day long. Not to mention his grades, he didn't even fart!
When someone is an emperor, it doesn't matter what difficulties you have or how much pressure you bear!
Since you were hired, you were asked to solve other people's problems, but as a result, you became a waste after you left and couldn't solve any problems. How could they not deal with you when you came back?
However, when I think about it, Fatty Hong has been resurrected again. Although he is still only a seventh-grade Sesame Officer, being sent to Shandong at this juncture shows that His Majesty still has some recognition for him.
As long as Fatty Hong works hard and can achieve some results in Dengzhou, it is not impossible to move up in the future!
