The deputy nodded quickly to indicate that everything was ready.
call……
Lin Xing took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, and asked: "The Protector, your subordinates, and officials from Haizhou have prepared a reception dinner for you. I wonder if you can attend?"
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but frown.
I have just arrived at the gate of the city, and you are actually ready for Feng Yan. It seems that you have been prepared for a long time...
Soon, Su Chen understood what these people were up to.
It is estimated that they all heard about Guancheng's vigorous construction of iron smelting workshops. Seeing that Guancheng made huge profits from it, they also wanted to take a share of the pie.
"Okay, when will the Fengfeng Banquet start? I will definitely be there then."
Su Chen smiled slightly, he wanted to see what tricks these people in front of him could play for him.
I don't know why, but seeing the warm smile of the young man in front of me, the hairs all over Lin Xing's body stood up uncontrollably.
It was obvious that the Lord Protector had seen the thoughts in his heart...
Lin Xing's back suddenly became sweaty, soaking his underwear, and his brain was running rapidly.
The man in front of me was second only to His Majesty the Emperor in terms of power and prestige in the Tang Dynasty. If his little thoughts made him even a little unhappy, then he might not be able to keep his black gauze hat!
Lin Xing did not dare to be careless at all. He lowered his posture, cupped his hands and said humbly: "Thank you very much, Lord Protector, for the honor. Please also ask Lord Protector to cultivate yourself first. I will come to guide you when the time comes."
"good."
Su Chen replied calmly.
"Duke Protector, please resign first!"
"Um."
After receiving Su Chen's permission, Lin Xing quickly retreated with all the officials.
Of course, when they were not out of Su Chen's field of vision, these officials kept their bodies extremely low and did not dare to move too fast at all.
After entering the city and disappearing from Su Chen's sight, these officials gasped in relief.
"Let's go, let's go to the mansion first."
After giving instructions to the carriage driver, Su Chenju returned to the carriage.
"How are you? How do you feel about the governor just now?"
Su Chen asked the beautiful lady beside him.
"My little girl doesn't dare to speak nonsense. I just feel that the governor seems to have a lot of ideas."
Sun Rong was stunned for a moment and then said.
"Yes, you have also seen it. We have just arrived in Haizhou, and so many officials are here to help me. It's really a big show!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
No matter what the purpose of the governor was, Su Chen was already disgusted by him putting on such a big show.
The locust plague has not yet been completely resolved. If we don't go out and do some practical work for the people, there are still people who have free time to come here and join in the fun!
"Duke Protector, I think this so-called reception banquet is not as simple as it seems."
Although Sun Rong has never been involved in official incidents, she can still see something.
Su Chen sneered and said, "I guess they heard about what happened in Guancheng, so they couldn't sit still."
"I want to see how they are going to support me at the Fengfeng Banquet tonight!"
If His Majesty Li Er saw the expression on Su Chen's face at this time, he would know that someone must be in bad luck.
It can only be said that all the officials in Haizhou can only wish for blessings and hope that they will not seek death when the time comes...
For Su Chen, only what he wants to give to others is given. If you take the initiative to ask for it, it will change the taste!
Since you have the courage to reach out, be prepared to be beaten!
Don't forget that just now those officials were very respectful in front of Su Chen, and even felt a little humble.
But in front of Su Chen, who has a unique understanding of human nature, their behavior really violated a big taboo!
Although these officials appear to be respectful to me, who knows what they look like when you can't see them?
It's just a joke.
These are very old-fashioned unspoken rules of officialdom. Su Chen had to deal with this kind of things in his previous life.
If he didn't have the status of Lord Protector, perhaps these officials wouldn't even look at him seriously.
Of course, what made Su Chen most angry was the style of the governor, Lin Xing.
Since he dares to take the initiative to arrange a reception banquet for himself, he must have a plan!
Because things happened in such a hurry, Su Chen still had not arranged some details regarding the iron smelting workshop.
But he really didn't expect that within a few days, the governor of Haizhou would actually start to come up with this idea.
It’s true that people die for money and birds die for food...
There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Su Chen's mouth.
He was not worried about any surprises during this reception banquet. He was just curious about how these Haizhou officials would talk to him.
Arriving at the house arranged in advance, Su Chen first took a bath and changed clothes under the service of Sun Rong, and then practiced calligraphy in the study.
In the study room, as soon as Su Chen put down the brush and sat on the chair, Lotus Sun took the initiative to put a mink fur on Su Chen, and then kneaded Su Chen's shoulders with her little hands.
"Um……"
Su Chen squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying the peaceful time very comfortably.
Calculating the time in my mind, it's almost time, and I don't know when the Haizhou governor will come.
Just when Su Chen was thinking quietly, he suddenly heard Lotus Sun retching twice?
"What's wrong, but what's wrong with you?"
Su Chen opened his eyes and was about to get up when he heard Sun Rong say: "I'm fine. Thank you Lord Protector for your concern. I must be feeling a little unwell because of the long journey recently."
Rong Sun herself was a little strange about this.
Logically speaking, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and her physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary women. Why is she suddenly so unwell?
Forget it, it’s probably just that I haven’t had much rest recently...
Sun Rong's pretty face turned red, and she didn't think much more. She just glanced at Su Chen with a bit of annoyance.
"No matter what the reason is, it's better to find a doctor to take a look and nip it in the bud."
For his woman, Su Chen could not let her suffer any injustice.
Since Rong Sun is showing signs of discomfort, she must be diagnosed carefully.
"Duke Protector, the governor of Haizhou asks for an audience!"
At this moment, the respectful voice of the guard came from outside the study.
Cao Cao is here...
Hearing this, Su Chen showed a playful smile and agreed to Lin Xing's request for a meeting.
,
"You should go back to your room and have a good rest first. I will bring the doctor back after I take care of the matter."
After telling Lotus Sun, Su Chen walked out of the study.
…
"Protect..."
In the hall, Lin woke up and saw Su Chen striding towards him. He quickly stood up and made a gesture. Just as he was about to salute, Su Chen raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to be so polite, I have something I need you to do now."
