"No!" The two said in unison, which made Hongli shake his head for a while. He really didn't know if the two were enemies in the previous life, and they would be so noisy in this life.
After arguing with Agui for a while, Zhaohui said with a serious face: "Fourth Brother, I still said what I said before, you should be more careful, Second Brother, I still don't believe him."
Agui remembered that he had just slapped him in the face, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately retorted: "I think the second elder brother is really different from before. Not only did he not secretly sabotage this disaster relief, he was also busy
I have worked hard and put in a lot of effort.”
Hongli also said: "Yes, Zhaohui, are you too suspicious? The second brother is really different from before. It can be said that he is completely different."
"It's just because it's different from before that I feel more suspicious. When I was in the capital, I heard someone said that the second elder brother used to ignore the errands of the Ministry of Rites, and only went to the Ministry of Rites for a few days, but later he became
He was very attentive to his errands, and later even offered to come to Fuzhou. After coming this time, he didn’t complain at all, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Agui scoffed at his words, "What's so strange? When people grow up, they will naturally start to grow. Is it normal to have to be idle all their lives?"
"What a fool thinks!" Zhaohui said scornfully: "It has been said that it is easy to change one's nature but hard to change it. There are only two reasons for ordinary people to change. One is to go through major events and really change their mind and change their past mistakes; the other is
Pretending to change, in reality it remains the same.”
"Pretend to change? Why does the second elder brother do this, and what good does it do to him?" Faced with Agui's series of questions, Zhaohui thought for a long time before saying: "I haven't thought of this yet, but..."
Agui interrupted him rudely and said: "It's nothing, if you ask me, you are just too suspicious. You are suspicious all day long. No wonder you are in such a bad state."
Being interrupted like this, Zhao Hui felt unhappy and snorted coldly: "If you don't listen, just let it go. If you suffer a loss then, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Hongli quickly acted as peacemaker and said, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel over this kind of thing anymore. Besides, the errand in Fuzhou will be finished soon. When I return to Beijing, my second brother and I will
They each took their errands and had nothing to do with each other."
At this time, someone outside urged: "Fourth elder brother, second elder brother, please go out quickly, so as not to miss the time for the banquet."
"I know." Hongli agreed, pushing the two people who didn't like each other and said: "Go out and change your clothes quickly. You will accompany me to the prefect's Yamen."
When they each changed the clothes they had prepared on the boat and got off the boat, they saw Hongshi standing on the shore talking to people. When he saw Hongli coming, he smiled and waved and said: "The sedan has been prepared, let's go there right away."
Bar."
"Yes." Just when Hongli was about to get on the sedan, Hongshi suddenly pointed at Zhaohui and the two who were following Hongli step by step and said: "The governor of Fuzhou is hosting a banquet for you and me. There is no need for them to follow.
?It’s better to stay on the ship and look after the food.”
Before Hongli could speak, Zhaohui had already said: "If we go back to the second elder brother, the fourth elder brother will not be short of people to serve him. On the contrary, there are so many people on the ship, so there is no shortage of me and the other two."
A cold light flashed in Hongshi's eyes, but he smiled kindly and said, "You are quite clever with your talk, that's all. If you want to follow me, just follow."
"Thank you, second brother." With these words, Zhaohui and Agui followed Hongli's sedan and walked to the magistrate's office. Behind them was Hongshi's cold and cold eyes. After they got on the sedan,
He called the person who had spoken before and whispered: "Zheng Ji, remember, when the time comes, you will also have these two unsightly nails made."
"I know, second brother, don't worry." Zheng Ji agreed and signaled the bearer to start the sedan. He did not follow him, but turned around and went elsewhere.
The governor of Fuzhou, whose surname is Lin, just took office last year. He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen not long after he took office. The entire Fuzhou Prefecture was almost destroyed. He was also trapped in the government office and could not get out. Fortunately, the two elder brothers took the risk.
He came to the disaster relief with food and solved the urgent need of Fuzhou Prefecture. Now that the disaster has been controlled and the people have returned to normal life, as the parent official of Fuzhou Prefecture, he should naturally thank the two elder brothers, especially the fourth elder brother. If not
He risked his life several times to earnestly persuade the victims and arouse their humanity and conscience. He was afraid that even if there was food, the tragedy of cannibalism would still exist in Fuzhou Prefecture.
When the concierge came to report that the two elder brothers' sedans had arrived outside the government office, Magistrate Lin hurriedly dressed himself up and went out to greet the two elder brothers on his knees, "I'm going to see you two elder brothers!"
When Hongli got off the sedan, he saw Lin Xueli kneeling on the ground. He quickly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Prefect Lin, what are you doing? Please get up quickly."
Hongshi also got off the sedan and said with a chuckle: "Yes, I said it was just a simple meal. Why is Magistrate Lin so formal again? Get up quickly."
"Thank you two elder brothers." Lin Xueli stood up and led the two of them in. The back office had prepared a sumptuous feast of wine and food. After everyone sat down, Lin Xueli personally filled the wine pot with wine for the two of them, and held the hand.
The cup said: "Xiaguan is still sitting here today, and Fuzhou Prefecture can return to normal, all thanks to these two elder brothers. I would like to use this cup to express my gratitude to these two elder brothers on behalf of the tens of thousands of people in Fuzhou Prefecture."
"Prefect Lin is too polite." Hongshi smiled and picked up the wine glass, "My fourth brother and I just did what we should do, and we really don't deserve this word of thanks."
"If neither of you can be grateful, then who can?" After saying this, Lin Xueli added, "No matter what, I invite both of you to drink from this cup!"
Hongshi and Hongli happily agreed and drank the wine in their glasses. Magistrate Lin filled the glass again and said, "I wonder when you two brothers are going to return to Beijing?"
"I have written down the situation here in detail, and ordered the post station to hurry up and send it to Emperor Ama for review. I believe that soon, Emperor Ama will issue an order for the two of us to return to Beijing." At this point, Hongshi's voice deepened.
, said earnestly and sincerely: "Although the disaster has been brought under control now, after this incident, Fuzhou Prefecture's vitality has been seriously damaged, and it will take a long time to truly restore its original appearance. Therefore, after the two of us leave, Prefect Lin will still have a lot of trouble."
Be careful and don’t be careless.”
Lin Xueli stood up and said seriously: "Second brother, don't worry, I will do my best to prevent the people of Fuzhou from suffering again. Otherwise, I will take off the crown on my head to thank the people of Fuzhou."
Hongshi nodded and said, "With the words of Magistrate Lin, I feel relieved. However, there is one thing that always makes me a little worried."
Hongli took over and said, "Second brother, are you talking about Lianjiang County?"
