Both sides of the Xiaohei River were crowded with people, including all kinds of livestock.
Aunt Zhang's big black dog in Shangzhai Village went crazy and kept running in the crowd, knocking over several children and causing a lot of yelling.
One end of the "Bulong" was pulled up to the high ground by Sao Hong and more than 20 strong men, while the other end was carried by Ming Yan and more than 30 strong soldiers and waited on the river bank.
Jiang Jintian was sitting in a small pavilion chatting with a few old farmers. Next to him stood the very embarrassed Liu Shunshun and several other teahouse and gambling shop owners, surrounded by sergeants in bright uniforms.
Jiang Jintian and these bosses are all old acquaintances.
Jiang Xiantian is good at everything, but he has a bit of the stinky habit of an old scholar. He likes to "add fragrance to red sleeves" and listen to ditties.
It just so happened that Liu Shunshun's property included "Cuihua Building".
The girls in Cuihualou play and sing the best songs, and their hands are white and soft...
But these are all secret activities and cannot be brought to the forefront... Now, Mr. Jia, you, Mr. Jia, put me, a servant, together with a bunch of bastards who run gambling houses and brothels. What's going on?
At this time, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was making red clay hot pot for Mrs. Bao and Dai in another pavilion.
The hot red soup is filled with the tempting aroma of meat.
There were twenty-four small red clay hotpots arranged in two rows. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) took two white porcelain bowls and put meat in them one by one.
We are all treated fairly. You have one chopstick and I have one chopstick. In a short time, two big porcelain bowls are filled.
Even if Baochai doesn't want to eat, he still has to pick up so many, otherwise the stingy Baochai will not know what kind of evil moth will come out.
As for the always petty "First Lady" Daiyu, she is no longer so stingy because she is pregnant with triplets.
Two porcelain bowls filled with fragrant hot-pot meat are placed in front of you, allowing Sister Baochai to choose first...
What I drank was the "Eagle Tea" specially prepared by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) for the two ladies, which is especially good at relieving greasiness.
The personal guards have come to urge me many times. The Minister of Household Affairs has invited me, but the baby (Ran Xiaoshi) has not left.
The rank of minister is usually from the third rank. Is it very important to be an official from the third rank?
Then I heard the hoarse male voice of Jiang Jintian, the Minister of Household Affairs, outside the pavilion.
"Jiang Jintian, the minister of household affairs, pays homage to the prefect!"
When did the Shangguan from the third rank come to bow his head and pay homage to the prefect from the fourth rank?
I'm afraid only Baoyu (burning small stone) can do it!
This is not in line with the old rules of officialdom.
What's more, the Ministry of Household Affairs manages the world's money and food, and can strangle the necks of officials both in public and private affairs. You don't want salary? You don't want to allocate funds, don't allocate food... Any item, just a little slap on you, it will be done.
It's enough to make you, a local official, miserable for several months.
People who understand the rules of officialdom are secretly worried about the prefect Xiao Jia in front of them.
Isn't it obvious that Mr. Shilang wants to embarrass Mr. Xiao Jia?
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was very angry when he was interrupted from feeding the two ladies, and the problem was serious.
Don’t you know that I, Baoyu, am a “wife-controller”?
I no longer speak and act according to official rules.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) stood up and said in an evil voice: "Shilang Jiang is such a powerful official. Don't you know that I am waiting for the two ladies to eat? How about you come and have a bite too?"
The weather in Jiangjin makes your face turn green. You are a dandy. Don’t you know what clothes to wear and what duties to perform?
How do you, a little prefect, talk to the minister?
Besides, you, a first-class governor of the Northeast, make yourself the prefect. What do you mean?
Seeing that Jiang Jintian was silent, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) walked up to him with a smile and whispered: "I heard that in recent times, the waiter likes to be elegant and likes to sing a little tune. His little hands are so white and tender...
…Do you like it or not? Don’t you understand the rule that officials don’t allow prostitution?”
There are rules in officialdom, but these rules are meant to be broken by high-ranking officials.
The Minister of Household Affairs is considered a high-ranking official in the capital, not to mention the local government.
When Shangguan goes to a place, local officials or local wealthy nobles will entertain guests in a certain building or courtyard. This is also a "secret rule".
"Secret rules" are for doing, not for saying.
Jiang Jintian was worried and replied in a low voice, "It is an old rule in the officialdom to have prostitutes. Everyone does it, so why do you need to make excuses? If you think that the bet on magic tricks a few days ago... is too big.
If you want to regret it, there is no need to find fault in this aspect..."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was very angry.
"It turns out that your Lord Minister thinks of me this way... One code is the same, your business is your business, and it has nothing to do with this matter..."
"It seems that adults have brought these two things together..."
"Really? How did I hear that you have an unknown concubine with a certain character... It seems that you also collected a large box of books with a lot of gold leaves and so on... This kind of thing is really big.
…”
Hearing this, Jiang Jintian's heart skipped a beat, and his head swelled several times.
I thought that these two things were done extremely secretly, and they were both done quietly in the middle of the night...
Heaven knows and earth knows that you know and I know, and there are so many "people" here.
Jiang Jintian turned back and glanced at Liu Shunshun and the others, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
Once again, it is confirmed that there must be something wrong with Mr. Xiao Jia's "juggling". Maybe he can't do magic at all.
This is a quid pro quo!
The struggle between high officials is often like this. It is not that you kill me and I will kill you, but that you weigh the pros and cons and exchange interests.
As if he had clearly read Jiang Jintian's thoughts, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said in a deep voice: "Where is Liu Shunshun? You have to abandon your son. You have to abandon your car to protect the handsome man. Even though you have the pain of a broken arm, you have to endure it... I
The target is the evil forces and banditry in the Northeast. If we want to pacify the Northeast and vigorously develop the Northeast, these two cancers must be eliminated. What do you think, Mr. Minister?"
Jiang Jintian's face turned dark!
Only then did I remember that the Northeastern governor and magistrate in front of me also had the most terrifying position, that is, the deputy commander of the "Tianwei Yi, Camp".
The "Tianwei Camp" is pervasive!
This seemingly serious little Mr. Jia likes to pretend to be a pig, eat the tiger, and do great things while laughing and joking!
However, Jiang Jintian is not afraid. Although he is the superficial "manager" of the dark forces in Northeast China, among them, he is just a small leader, and there are big bosses behind him.
It is rumored that he is also directly related to the Empress Dowager... Could it be that you, Mr. Jia, want to compete with such a huge force, a little overestimating your capabilities?
After figuring this out, Jiang Jintian laughed loudly and said: "Master Magistrate, it seems that we should do some magic..."
He believes that Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s "trick" will definitely fail?
