Chapter 396: Big Fish Eat Small Fish
"Envoy Qin Qin?"
The two old men changed color instantly.
Although the imperial envoy is of grade, even the lowest-level imperial envoy is definitely not something that the little county magistrate can afford.
The third-grade imperial envoy has the right to dismiss an official below the third-grade official.
What real power is this?
Zhao Dongting took out his token again.
The two old men saw clearly the four words "Dai Zhen" on the gold medal, and the words "Golden" on it, and they almost fell to the ground.
At that moment, the two hurriedly pushed the woman away and knelt on the ground, "The emperor asked to see the imperial envoy."
The imperial envoy was the third rank, with gold as the best, silver as the second, and copper as the lowest.
A person who holds the gold medal of the first-grade imperial envoy can be dismissed from an official below the first-grade official. For a county magistrate, he is simply a high-ranking official who can't even think about it.
Zhao Dongting walked to the main seat in the middle of the hall, sat down with a big golden sword, and did not let the two of them get up. He asked calmly: "What are the official positions of you two?"
The old man with a goatee on the right said, "The lower official is He Xiang Temple, the inspector of Cenxi County."
The old man on the left followed closely and said, "Mr. Cenxi County Magistrate Mo Xitong."
"He Xiang Temple, Mo Xitong."
Zhao Dongting was talking about these two names, but he had a little impression of it.
In Lu Xiufu's recommendation book, these two are both famous old masters in Xuwen County, Leizhou.
Zhao Dongting really didn't expect that such two people with prestige would be like this when they became officials in Cenxi.
He did not rush to cure the two of them, but said, "Both are famous and knowledgeable people in Xuwen. They read the books of sages. The emperor asked you to come to Cenxi to be your parents. Why did you two let the minor officials gamble outside? Are you even drinking and having fun here?"
As he said that, he looked at He Xiang Temple, "Mr. He came to Master Mo's mansion. Is there no errands to do in the Supervision Office?"
The supervisor is the function of supervising all officials. Now, He Xiangsi and Mo Xi are in a sympathy. This has made Zhao Dongting extremely angry.
But he just suppressed his anger.
Hexiang Temple, Mo Xi and the two kowtowed quickly, "Give up your life, and Give up your life."
Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "Although I was ordered by the emperor, I was not here to inspect all the officials, but just passed by Cenxi. You two don't need to do this. I was just curious and had no intention of punishing you."
He Xiangsi and Mo Xitong exchanged their eyes, which were both lucky.
Of course they would not doubt Zhao Dongting's words. If this imperial envoy really came to inspect them, they would be able to kill them on the spot if they had just drunk and had fun.
Comrade Mo Xi: "Secret officials"
But he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "But it's okay."
But in fact, the anger in my heart has reached its peak.
After hesitation for a few years, Mo Xitong said, "Please wait for a moment, Lord of the Imperial College."
Then he got up and walked towards the back hall.
When he came out again, he was holding a plate of silver ingots in his hand and put them on the table in a very flattering manner. "Please accept it with a smile, the imperial envoy."
He heard Zhao Dongting's words and thought that Zhao Dongting was asking them for benefits.
Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, then nodded to Hong Wutian next to him. Hong Wutian held no traces and put the silver into his hand.
Zhao Dongting said: "Mr. Mo has been an official for a short time, and this family is very wealthy!"
Mo Xitong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said, "This is all the savings of the officials."
Of course, Zhao Dongting would not believe his nonsense, so he looked at He Xiang Temple again, "Sir He, where are you?"
He Xiangsi said in a row: "The officials will send someone to send the silver to the emperor to honor the emperor."
"sensible."
Zhao Dongting nodded with a smile, looking at his appearance, he seemed really happy.
He Xiangsi also climbed up along the pole and then shook the two women.
The two gorgeous women were originally trembling and trembling. When they saw him winking, they walked to Zhao Dongting hesitantly.
Zhao Dongting hugged the two women into his arms without any hesitation, laughing, "The two adults are so lucky."
He Xiangsi and Mo Xitong smiled embarrassedly.
It was only then that they finally recovered a little.
Zhao Dongting took the initiative to ask He Xiang Temple for benefits, which made both of them think that Zhao Dongting was also a "meeter".
But I was still wondering in my heart, not knowing what Zhao Dongting is.
The ministers in the court are not so young. When did the emperor appoint such a young imperial envoy?
Could it be Lord Xi Yixi, the current governor of Leizhou?
Only Xi Yi is the youngest in the court.
However, as the governor, how could Xiyi be named an imperial envoy and leave Leizhou to do business?
In history, no emperor has appointed the governor as an imperial envoy.
Could it be the Emperor?
Mo Xitong suddenly flashed this year's day, and his old face changed color. But then he thought, this should be impossible.
