: Meet

On the same night, when Tang Feng and Xu Cang were talking about their experiences over the years in the mansion and got the book "Sharp Artifacts", a panicked man came to the prefect Xue Muren in the government office of Suzhou City: "Sir, I just got the news that Tang Feng actually came to my Suzhou Prefecture."

"What?" The prefect Xue, who had wanted to say a few words to him, told him to be more steady, stood up from the chair after hearing this: "Maybe this matter be sure?"

"It's true that the people from our government office watched him bring dozens of followers into the city." The person who came to report the news was Gao Chuanlin, the co-master under Xue Muren, who was also the most powerful ally of the prefect. Xue Muren believed his words, and his eyes narrowed: "I only heard that he is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. This time he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, why did he come to the ground in Suzhou? Is it any intention?"

"I don't know about this official, but he has stayed in She County, Huizhou for a few days, and now he lives in Xu Cang's home in the same department as him. He has never come to us, maybe it is not what we are worried about."

"No, Huizhou She County is both his place of prosperity and his wife's family. It is understandable to stay for a few days as a son-in-law. But it is different to go to Suzhou. Will you go to other prefectures and counties to go and see it because you, a friend of the same subject? This is obviously not that simple. He must have other intentions when he comes to Suzhou." Xue Muren pondered for a moment and said, "Don't forget that Wei Zhongxian fell down and died because of his reasons, and you and I have also given filial piety to others like Wei Zhongxian. If he came for this matter, he would definitely find ways to find our fault."

"This...what should I do?" Gao Chuanlin's face suddenly changed, and he became even more nervous. What Lord Xue said was that the so-called emperor and ministers were now in the Chongzhen period. Wei Zhongxian and others in power in the capital were all eliminated. Will those who were in the local area become their next target? Of course, these are not the most important. When the eunuch party was in power, who would not intend to curry favor with them for their own interests? But what the Suzhou Prefecture has been doing until now is done by Tang Feng or his subordinates. It would be a big trouble. When he thought of this, Gao Chuanlin felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Seeing him like a frightened bird, Xue Muren coughed lightly: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Just seeing that Tang Feng did not come to the yamen to see us, you can be sure that this time he came to Suzhou was not because of his fate. As long as he did not find evidence about us doing that, we would be safe and sound."

"Sir, do you have any good ideas?" Gao Chuanlin asked hurriedly.

"It's hard to say now. Let's get in touch with him first. So, tomorrow you and Ma and Zhan will go to Xu's mansion and ask him indirectly what his real intention was to come to Suzhou. If he really wants to make things difficult for us, we might as well show our ability in Suzhou."

"Yes, I will go tomorrow morning. Sir, don't you?"

"I will not go, but remember to invite him to gather in Nanxiang Pavilion in Suzhou tomorrow night. At that time, I will ask the others in the city to come out to see him together, first to give him enough face, and secondly, to test him." Xue Muren said: "It would be good if he could send him away with money, otherwise, you would have to be more careful. Fortunately, he did not come to Suzhou to investigate according to the situation, so that we would not be too passive."

"That's right. He neither came to the government office nor ordered someone to come and inform him. Sir, can we think we can be ignored..." Gao Chuanlin suddenly thought of something. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Muren: "No, no matter what, he is also a Shangguan from the capital, and he holds the power. We still have to talk about this etiquette. Moreover, only by meeting him can we judge his intentions. Even if he is not coming for us, it is not a bad thing to make more friends. Okay, go back now and remember what will happen tomorrow."

"Yes!" Gao Chuanlin was about to retreat, but Xue Muren called him again: "Have you ever ordered the people there? Before Tang Feng left my Suzhou, it would be better not to move this matter, so as not to be noticed by him."

"Don't worry, sir, the official has already stopped the matter there."

"That's good, that's good! Although there will be some losses if you stop for a few days, it is still very safe than the court knows what we have done." Xue Muren said to himself.

Because I had a heartache yesterday, I felt comfortable, and I had been chatting a little late when I didn't meet with Xu Cangjiu, so Tang Feng slept a little late. He didn't wake up until Chen Shima, but was still awakened by the crying of his daughter. Seeing his wife walking in the room with Chuoer in her arms, Tang Feng felt warm and said, "Come on, let me hug Chuoer."

Seeing that he woke up, Liu Hui walked up with a smile. After Yiyan handed the child to him, she said, "You slept too late yesterday. It's so bad that this is in other people's mansions."

"What are you afraid of?" Tang Feng smiled and threw Chuo'er away and caught her, which made her giggle constantly. Then he said indifferently: "Brother Maolin has a very good relationship with me, so you don't have to be too restricted at his family. By the way, what time is it now?"

"It's almost time to Si Shi." Liu Hui frowned at him pretty: "No matter how friendly you have, you can't do this. You said it's almost noon now, what will people think of you? Should you arrange breakfast for you?"

Tang Feng didn't expect that he had just slept so lazy, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Why did he sleep so late? This is indeed a bit inappropriate." He said as he got up and put on his clothes. In fact, this was also the result of hard work these days. In the capital, Tang Feng had to stand in the court before dawn every day, and then went back to the peace office to handle official duties. The day passed soon. Finally, he took the leave this time and ran all the way. He was not at ease when he arrived in She County. He had to fight wits and strength with the people of the White Lotus Sect, so he naturally couldn't sleep completely with peace of mind. Until yesterday, he knew that there would be no major issues here, and he was really tired, so Tang Feng slept beautifully.

After washing up and walking out of the door, Tang Feng saw Jiefu walking around, as if he was waiting for him to get up. Seeing this, he smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then said, "Why, why did you get up so early when you solve the problem?" Because he was in a happy mood and to cover up his embarrassment, he simply joked.

"Young Master." Seeing him come out, I smiled: "Young Master has a good night's sleep, but I blame me for getting up early. How can I not get up early? Early in the morning, a few important guests came to the Xu family."

"Oh, what do you have to do with the guests from the Xu family?" Tang Feng asked casually in surprise.

"Because they came here to find you, Master, they had arrived before Chen Shi, and they had been waiting for almost an hour." Xie Fu smiled and said, "Mr. Xu was with them in the front hall. He has sent people here to visit him several times, but I have stopped him."

Tang Fengchong nodded gratefully, knowing that he was trying to give him a good rest, and then asked: "Do you know who is coming?"

"I only know who it is an official in Suzhou Prefecture, but I don't know who it is."

"Let's go, take a look." Tang Feng was walking out, and guessing in his heart the purpose of these local Suzhou officials. In fact, he knew that local officials would definitely come to Suzhou, but he didn't expect that they would come so urgently. The Xu family, who he had just arrived yesterday evening, came early this morning. "It seems that these people are not as simple as seeing me, there must be some deeper reasons. Before I went south, the emperor ordered me to check the administration of Jiangnan. Suzhou should be my first stop." With this plan, Tang Feng began to be careful.

Gao Chuanlin, Ma Zi'ang and Zhan Hua had been sitting in the Xu family's hall for an hour, and they had drunk the tea lightly, but the people they imagined did not show up. This made the three officials in Suzhou Prefecture, who were second only to the prefect. If they hadn't known that Xu Cang and Tang Feng had a good relationship and had served as officials in the court, and Tang Feng's recent reputation was too great, they would have long used their official power to suppress Mr. Xu, but now they could only endure it. Even so, their faces became increasingly ugly as time went by.

Xu Cang felt helpless when he looked at the three of them. Although he had some money now, it was still nothing in the eyes of Suzhou officials. Now he wanted them to wait here, but he couldn't leave, and he was very impatient. Just when they were all unable to sit still, Tang Feng walked in slowly, and Xu Cang stood up as soon as he saw it.

When Gao Chuanlin and the other two saw Xu Cang's actions, they knew that the main owner had come, so they hurriedly stood up to greet him. Tang Feng smiled and said with a little guilty voice: "I slept a little late last night, and I didn't wake up until now. I have been waiting here for a long time. I hope to forgive my sins." As he said that, he bowed carelessly.

"I dare not, I dare not!" Gao Chuanlin and the other three quickly changed into smiles, bowed and raised Lilius. When they saw that Lord Tang, who had been known for a long time, was only a young man who was only thirty years old, the three of them were obviously a little stunned.

Seeing the three of them looking a little stunned, Tang Feng stretched out his hand and said, "Several, please sit down and talk." With a word, he naturally became the protagonist here. This was a habit he had developed in the officialdom for many years.

"Please!" Several people responded with a smile. After greeting each other and reporting their identities, Tang Feng said in confusion: "Although I am an official of the court, I came to Jiangnan for private matters, so I did not know the local government. What happened to the adults who came to see me?"
