Chapter 252: This Tang Cheng is a little interesting

Just as the Longmen County Government was under investigation like a storm, Jia Xu and Qian Sancca were under tremendous pressure, Tang Cheng, the magistrate of Longmen County, who was "suffering from severe infectious diseases", walked into the northern gate of Jinyang, Hebei Daocheng with dryness and fatigue on his face.

When he walked into the gate of the North City Gate and officially stepped onto the streets of Jinyang City, Lai Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as he let out this breath, the fatigue and numbness that had been pressed in recent days suddenly broke out together. The result of excessive physical overdrawing is that every step he took after slacking off is that every step he took was so difficult and reluctant.

I was so crazy on the way from Longmen South to Jinyang! Lai Fu turned his head and looked around. Although he was tired and dry, and there were also obvious cracks on his lips, the waist of the official was still straight, just like countless days in Shannan Daocheng, Chang'an, and Longmen County.

At this moment, Lai Fu, who seemed to be crawling with countless ants on his body, really felt awe of the great official Tang Cheng from the bottom of his heart. He could enjoy his happiness and was more happy, but when he was time to endure hardships, he could endure hardships than anyone else. This master always had an indescribable energy in his body. The more difficult and adversity he encountered, the more obvious this energy was.

There are many things that have happened in the past two years, and it is still impossible to see when everything goes well. At this time, the performance of the high-ranking official is even a little lazy, which is no different from the young masters who many wealthy families like to enjoy in Chang'an City. But once they encounter danger, this force suddenly occurs, and the high-ranking official is completely different at this time. Although he is also very nervous and worried, this tension and worry will never be shown; although he will be very tired, the more tired he is, the straighter his waist will be.

When he thought of this, Lai Fu finally figured out a problem that puzzled him for the past two years. It turned out that Tang Cheng’s impression in his heart could be explained clearly with only one thing.

The waist is straight no matter when you are at any time. The great official not only does this outside but also does the inner strength. This is the real reason why he can feel at ease even when he is facing a difficult situation when he follows him.

Rubbing his hands that were frozen and red, Lai Fu drove away the inexplicable messy thoughts in his mind. "The great official, there is an inn run by an old guest in Shannan. The conditions are good and affordable..."

When Lai Fu said this, he noticed that Tang Cheng had already led his horse to walk several steps to the street on the left, and immediately stopped and followed.

There is a small food load on the roadside on the left side. In addition to the cooked cakes placed on it, you can smell a familiar smell from afar - the smell of sour noodles that is extremely familiar to anyone in Jinzhou, Shannan.

Because the weather was too cold, and it was not a meal time at this time, the business of the load was not good. Tang Cheng led the horse over and closed his eyes slightly and sniffed the familiar smell in the air, "Come two bowls, add more boiling water."

The sour noodles tasted very authentic. As soon as the soup was in my mouth, Lai Fu couldn't help but see the scene of Jinzhou, a thousand miles away from the south of the mountain. When he and Xiaotao were together, the meal they often ate to save trouble.

A lot of time the wanderer misses home is contained in the familiar taste of food. No matter how far away you are from home or how long you are, when the familiar smell that has long been engraved in the depths of memory emerges, the home that is far away thousands of miles away will also emerge clearly.

"What a weird thing, why are you always distracted today?" As Lai Fu shook his head, Tang Cheng beside him had already eaten half a bowl of sour noodles. Seeing this, Lai Fu hurriedly lowered his head and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

Standing on the side of the road in front of the load, Tang Cheng quickly ate a bowl of sour noodles, and even drank no drop of soup. The noodles were rolled up and eaten quickly. After eating, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Putting down the bowl, Tang Cheng, who was warming all over, relaxed his arms, "No, it smells like home. It would be better if he could have another bowl of stir-fried fish." His voice was filled with a warm longing, "After passing the hurdle in front of him, I have to start preparing after returning to the dragon gate. Once the weather gets warmer, Xiao Tao and the others should set off to come north."

When Lai Fu heard this, he felt very hot. The fatigue over the past few days seemed to have been relieved a lot. "The fish made by the old lady is so fragrant." After grinning, she remembered what was happening in front of her, and Lai Fu's excitement became a little deeper, "I'm afraid this is not easy to deal with."

"Isn't it far from the dragon gate?"

Lai Fu didn't understand that Tang Cheng would suddenly ask this, holding the bowl, nodding, "Far"

"Are we tired along the way?"

Lai Fu's doubts became deeper, "It's more important to say, I almost died of exhaustion."

Tang Cheng looked at Lai Fu and said in a deep voice: "Okay, remember, we are so far and so tired, we are not here to accept failure. No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it." Although Tang Cheng was talking to Lai Fu, the smell inside was more like talking to himself, "He came from a thousand miles with hope. Whether it is Xiaotao or Maodan'er, they are not seeing us for being ruined by others!"

Although Tang Cheng said the simplest thing, the blood on Lai Fu's body was lit up. The man was wearing a corpse and fighting against a wife and a wife. His family came to look for relatives thousands of miles away. If he saw it... he would not accept it, Lai Fu would not be willing to think about such a scene.

"Reward him", Tang Cheng walked forward with his horse and took the reins first, "Look for the best inn in the city to stay."

Jinyang is the place where Li Tang Longxing was named Beidu. The best inn in the city is named Xinglong. Even though he was tired of rushing all the way, he didn't have much rest after staying there. After just taking a hot bath, Tang Cheng and the others began to get busy.

"Master, Min Hyuk is really busy. According to the news I asked from the doorman, there are indeed many people waiting to see him recently. Even if the famous sect is in line, it will take us six or seven days to do so."

The Observation Envoy is naturally not so easy to see. With Tang Cheng's behavior of leaving his post, it is not convenient to go directly to the Daoya for a visit. Even if he goes as a county magistrate, he doesn't know how long it will take to see someone. After giving up this, he can only start from other ways. The way Tang Cheng thought of was to observe Min He, the butler of the Envoy.

"Min Hyuk is the most useful confidant before Min Qian. It's not surprising that he is so busy. But I don't have time to wait for him for six or seven days," Tang Cheng said, and the man had already stood up from the couch, "Can you ask him to find out about his whereabouts?"

"It's a coincidence that he is in this inn, but in the wine shop in front." As soon as Lai Fu finished speaking, Tang Cheng had already picked up the windbreaker and walked out the door, "Go, I'll meet him."

He didn't vote for the famous sect, and did not report the appointment, so he went like this? Lai Fu was stunned for a moment, and Tang Cheng, who was wearing a cloak while walking, had already arrived outside the door.

Seeing this, Lai Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the mother, I have followed the great official and even seen the prince in the current dynasty for many times. I still care about the housekeeper of the observatory!"

This is not a coincidence. Although Jinyang is big, there is only one best inn after all. Tang Cheng stays at the hotel to the best place. People with status like Min Hyuk naturally have to go to the best place in the city whether they are banqueting or being invited. This is just like the rich people in later generations who are always easy to meet. It is not that the world is not big enough, but that their relative activity circle is too small.

When he arrived at the gorgeously decorated Xinglong Restaurant, the waiter of Yingmen came in and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. However, before he could speak, Tang Cheng had already spoken first, "Where is Butler Min?"

Tang Cheng was dressed in gorgeous clothes and elegant and calm. In addition, he had the aura of the eighth-rank official hall in his question. Facing all this, the waiter felt that the guest in front of him was in a vain, but he did not dare to answer more questions, "Butler Min is in Guose Pavilion."

"Only the peony is true, the flowers bloom and the capital is moving. The name of the Accord is interesting." Tang Cheng took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Lai Fu as he spoke, "You are waiting here." After that, he went straight to the Accord area behind the lobby in front.

Min Hyuk is very annoyed now, and it has been like this for several days. Since Min Su'an arrived in Guizhou due to that sudden incident, he has always been responsible for official contacts and has had to temporarily take on another business and greet these merchants full of money every day. His calculations of making money every day have made Min Hyuk, who claims to be a scholar, unbearable.

Today's banquet is still of this nature. Looking at the diligent and smiling Chan Shang opposite, although Min Hyuk still maintained a reserved smile on his face, he felt really tired of it, and his thoughts became even more drifty and didn't know where it fell.

Just when he was bored, he saw the door of Accord being pushed open from outside, and a young man with luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament walked in.

The merchant who was constantly talking about something was stunned when he saw Tang Cheng coming in, then his face changed, "Who are you? How dare..."

Tang Cheng ignored his noise and didn't even look at him. He walked straight to Min Hyuk and bowed and said, "I've seen Butler Min."

Min He couldn't help laughing when he looked at the merchant's at a loss, and Tang Cheng's demeanor and the bookish aura exuded from his body also made him feel a little favor, so he never had an attack, "Who is that? Why didn't you tell me, so rude?"

"Tang Cheng, the magistrate of Longmen County under this road," Tang Cheng smiled, but Min Hyuk changed his face when he heard his origin.

The merchant had already woken up at this time, got up and went out to call people.

"I heard that the grain deficit in Guanzhangchang, Guizhou, was extremely deficit in grain, which delayed the disaster relief."

"oh?"

"I heard that this matter involves observation Lord Min"

"Random", Min Hyuk, who had been lazy and unable to lift his energy before, looked like two needles, stinging tightly on Tang Cheng's face.

Facing Min Hyuk's eyes, Tang Cheng's face remained unchanged at all, and he said the third sentence with a light smile, "I also heard that the Censor of the County has intervened in investigating the matter."

Upon hearing this, Min He's face sank a little again, and Tang Cheng said in a leisurely voice: "The matter is huge, how about you ask Butler Min to borrow a step to speak?"

Just at this moment, the merchant's angry voice rang at the door and said, "It's this guy, come on, give this turtle to the master and I'll give it to me."

"Stop", Min Hyuk looked at Tang Cheng deeply, and stood up and said to the merchant: "Let's talk about it another day." After that, the person was already walking out of the door first.

Tang Cheng and Shi Ran followed, stopped and smiled at him when he passed by the merchant.

Just when the merchant was inexplicably doing this, Tang Cheng raised his right hand and slapped him on the fat face, "I am rude and insulting my parents, and I should be beaten."

This slap stunned the merchant. When he realized that, Tang Cheng had already walked to the door. Although the merchant was embarrassed and furious, he did not dare to act without knowing the relationship between Tang Cheng and Min He. The servants who came in with him also knew that the master's guests are noble today. They didn't know what to do after they had no orders. They were hesitant, and Tang Cheng had already left.

"The Tang County Magistrate is such a great official power!" In Tang Cheng's room, Min He sat on the bed and sneered, "Rumors and slander Shangguan, they are disrespectful. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"As an official, how can I sit and watch the adults Qingyu was vilified by Guizhou Governor Niu Zude?" Tang Cheng put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "I came here for this, and I bothered butler Min to recommend the adults to observe the adults."

When Min Hyuk heard this, he had a smile on his face, which was so slight and unspeakable. "What a loyalty who has been going through thousands of miles. I really should thank you for my elders! But since you know it is a rumor that is 'defamation', what's the use of it? Those surveillance censors may not be deceived by the rumors? Even if they are really traitors, how can my elders be spoiled?"

Hearing this, Tang Cheng shook his head with a worried look on his face, "Master Min may not know that Ning Mingyuan, the custodian of the Guizhou Governor's Office, has been mysteriously missing for many days. "Records of the Grand Historian" says: "There are people who make money, destroy bones, and rumors are the most likely to hurt people. Lord Min is not afraid of the eighth-rank supervisor. However, for such trivial matters, it will damage the reputation of the official, and even cause doubts from the holy heart, but it is not worth it."

When Tang Cheng mentioned "Sacred Heart Conscience", Min He suddenly clamped the corner of his eyes, and there was another meaning in his eyes when he looked at Tang Cheng, "Since the magistrate of Tang County is an official of Longmen, he must have a good understanding of the Niu Envoy. If he has nothing to do, he might as well tell me."

"This person has many stupid and stubborn officials, which is really hard to describe. If you want to see the master of observation, you should just say it all." Tang Cheng's smile on his lips had not been shown, "There is especially despicable that this person has no talent to support the government, nor has the wisdom to trade and business." At this point, Tang Cheng said with great enthusiasm: "If he can hand the trade in his palm to a certain hand, he will be confident that the relevant parties can make a profit at least twice as much."

Tang Cheng seemed to have no clue about this, but Min Hyuk sounded like a mirror. By this time, his face looked as if a smile had already been cleared. After sitting quietly for a while, Min Hyuk picked up the teacup that he had not touched before and took a sip, "Live here and don't walk around, wait for news." After that, he put down the teacup and got up and left the room.

In the study in the Hebei Road Observation Inspector's Mansion, Min Qian, who was nearly 60 years old, sat on the couch and drank Jiannan Chunjiu in a small gulp, staring at the chessboard in front of him while playing the score while listening to Min He's speech three steps away in front of the couch.

Min He finished the preparations, Min Qian looked at the chessboard for a long time, and then he steadily threw the black piece in his hand and said, "I don't know that Min Su'an has arrived in Jinyang before he has arrived in Huairong. Let's see if he is looking for you. This Tang Cheng is interesting."

"Master, what should I do now? Judging from what he said, Ning Mingyuan's disappearance is probably due to his tampering."

"Not 80% of it, it must be in his hands! This is the confidence he dares to leave his post and come to Jinyang."

"It's just a Guizhou Cangcai Jue. Not to mention whether he can know what Min Su'an did, what can he do? As for the eighth-rank official's supervisor, with the friendship between the master and the censor, a simple letter can put the memorial on the censor's desk. Tang Cheng wanted to threaten the master and found the wrong person."

"From Tang Cheng's behavior, he is not a fool. How could he not think of what you said? Dare to say such a thing may not be all pointing to the Censor. In addition, you have another thing that you don't understand."

"What?"

Yun Danfeng put the chess piece he picked up again on the chessboard. Min Qian smiled slightly, "Tang Cheng didn't want to threaten Benzeng at all. Today he appeared in front of you with such a strong posture to see me, and hoped to convince Benzeng to give up Niu Zude. As for his ultimate goal, he wanted to take Niu Zude and replace him. First, he had the right to trade with Longmen Xi, and then Niu Zude's position as the governor. Check his original intention. This is just a political struggle between him and Niu Zude."

"What a good Tang Cheng, I want to be promoted and ask for help but dare to be so domineering!"

"If this is not the case, how could you bother me to play chess for a county magistrate?" Min Qian's smile even bigger. "There are more than a hundred county magistrates in Hebei Province, and there are only one who has the courage and mind to use such a routine. Based on this theory, this Tang Cheng is a talent that can be made."

"What the master means... to meet him?"

"No hurry! You can check the treasures he has saved in the past few years. If there is any record of Tang Cheng, please send the relevant documents together. I will always see if he has the means to reach the heavenly listening and the ability to double the profits of the Longmen trade. I really want to see him, because he is too hot now, he needs to dry it first."

Min Hyuk nodded after receiving the order but never left, "What should I do with Niu Zude, Guizhou? Su An must be supervising him to investigate Tang Cheng's affairs now."

"Niu Zude knows too much, and his work has been even more incorrect. Such a person is not very meaningful. If there is really a double profit, how can this person be replaced? As for Min Su'an, he will check it as much as possible. The more culprits he found, the better. If such a thing is held in his hand, it will be more convenient to knock it out in the future." At this point, Min Qian waved his hand, "Go down and do your business. No one is allowed to come in and disturb me within an hour. Let me finish this score quietly."
Chapter completed!
