Chapter 332

The Popular Envoy Mrs.

Chapter 332 The Popular Envoy Mrs.

Outside Lin'an City, Yang Xuan looked melancholy at the fleet going away, feeling that he had lost something.

It was the old man who made him feel the warmth in the unfamiliar northern Xinjiang, but now the warmth is gone.

"Emissary." Lu Qiang said, "It's time to go back."

Yang Xuan turned around, looked at those officials and common people, and suddenly had a kind of understanding.

From now on, he should come to warm others up.

……

Taiping County.

Waking up early in the morning, Cao Ying first went to see if there was any hawk in the cage.

"Still not!"

Cao Ying reached into the cage to feel, and found a few lumps of dry bird droppings.

It was dark, he straightened his waist, and thumped with his backhand, "I don't know where you are, Mr. Lang."

He went into the kitchen, built his own fire, and made his own food.

It stands to reason that as a county magistrate, he could have someone serve him, and he could even spend money to get a few servants to help, but Cao Ying refused.

So Taiping County said he was a clean and honest official, a good official.

"Damn! When the second child is here, how can I use the old man to light the fire?" Today's firewood is a little wet, Cao Ying was choked by the thick smoke, and tears came out.

"Yiniang doesn't need to cook when I'm here, hey!"

Cao Ying thought of the old thief again, if he was there, it would definitely be very lively at this moment.

And Mr. Lang.

Cao Ying stared blankly at the kitchen.

Flutter.

There was a slight sound of flapping wings in the sky, and Cao Ying stretched out her arms subconsciously.

A night owl flew away squawking.

Cao Ying slapped her forehead, "Hayabusa has already transferred to Lin'an, what are you waiting for?"

He was a little sad to find that he seemed to be old and so forgetful.

But he remembered everyone's birthday...

After breakfast, Cao Ying went to the front, full of fireworks.

Many officials came, including Zhen Siwen.

Now Zhen Siwen is Cao Ying's main assistant and the head of Taiping County.

"Mingfu, a businessman was cheated out of [-] yuan yesterday."

"Who did it?"

"After asking for a while, judging from the method, it is not Yue Er's school, but Zhao Xian's disciple and grandson."

Zhao Xian is also a criminal, and he is very good at deception, but when he immigrated to Lin'an last time, he was named and taken away.

"Let's go, if you don't return the money before noon today, we will wipe out the apprentices and grandchildren left by Zhao Xian."

"Yes. Mingfu is wise!" Zhen Siwen smiled obsequiously.

The officials looked at him with secret disdain in their hearts.

Zhen Siwen was regarded as Yang Xuan's old team member. Before Yang Xuan left, he was promoted and transferred back to Taiping County.

Zhen Siwen naturally has abilities, but he was promoted so quickly that he attracted a lot of envy and hatred.

Cao Ying entered the value room.

Zhen Siwen turned around to arrange today's affairs.

While talking, a messenger came from outside.

"The envoy ordered Cao Ming's mansion and Master Zhen to go to Lin'an!"

Everyone felt wrong for a while.

Under normal circumstances, Lin'an would not call all the chief officials of the county, even if the enemy army was overwhelming.

This thing...is weird!

Cao Ying came out, "But the new governor is here?"

The messenger said, "Exactly."

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Who is the new governor?"

"The old Sima Yang!"

Old man trough!
A group of officials blushed as if they were drunk.

Their old boss is back!

Cao Ying said to Zhen Siwen meaningfully: "Cheer up."

……

Northern Xinjiang in early summer is different from Chang'an, it is more rough and cloudless.

Zhou Ning was busy for a few days before he settled his new home.

The new home is just behind the state house, and the security is guaranteed.

"Miss!"

Mrs. Guan, who is in charge of the backyard, comes in.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Ning just rested, holding a book in his hand.

Mrs. Guan doesn't like to laugh, she looks very rigid, "The gentleman said that he won't come back at noon, and let the lady eat by herself. The gentleman also said that there will be many businessmen coming today, and the city is very lively. If the lady likes, she can go out for a stroll. , but those foreign businessmen are good and bad, let the lady bring a few guards before going out."

The man is really long-winded... Zhou Ning nodded, "Got it."

It's really long-winded to think in my heart, but I feel sweet in my heart.

After lunch, Zhou Ning took a rest for a while, and then took people to prepare to go out.

"Is Yi Niang going out?" Before leaving, she asked Yi Niang specifically.

Yiniang was sewing clothes, she said with a smile, "I won't go."

A few guards at home followed, and the two of them, Huahong, also accompanied Zhou Ning, wearing a hood, and slowly blended into Lin'an City.

"A lot of merchants!"

Huahong said in surprise.

The shops on both sides of the street were open, and there were stalls in front of them, and those foreign businessmen shouted at the top of their voices.

"Kippo's cowhide!"

"Sheepskin, the best sheepskin!"

"Tiger bone..."

There were some bones on a stall, and Zhou Ning walked over when he saw it.

"Want to buy tiger bones?" the businessman asked enthusiastically.

Zhou Ning looked at it, sniffed it a few more times, shook his head and said, "You should take this back!"

The alien businessman looked stunned, "What's the meaning of this, lady? If you don't want to buy it, just leave. If you say anything, take it back. Isn't it true that villains are not allowed to do business here?"

The peddlers around all looked over.

Zhou Ning frowned, "You are obviously a cow bone. You soaked it in some potion and pretended to be a tiger bone. Nothing else, this tiger bone is probably used as medicine when someone buys it. I was full of hope and waited for the medicine to cure the disease. But just because you used your fake tiger bone to cause a lingering illness and even cause death, you are extremely guilty."

The businessman rolled his eyes, "Hey! You are so rude, you are so rude. You are not a person who works, let alone a cow bone. I am afraid that you have never seen a chicken bone, right?"

Everyone laughed.

"This is an authentic tiger bone. If you don't buy it, it's fine, and you still slander... If you don't give me an explanation today, who will dare to come back from the businessmen from the Tiger Control Department?"

The businessman grieved.

A familiar businessman also chimed in, "That lady pretends to understand, does anyone care?"

"My lady." Huahong said in a low voice, "Would you like to find your husband?"

Zhou Ning shook his head.

But these foreign businessmen are aggressive, as if they will pack up and leave in the next moment.

Zhou Ning didn't know Chen Zhou's attitude towards businessmen, so it was difficult to speak.

An old man came over, "What's the trouble?"

The foreign businessman said: "This woman said that my tiger bones are beef bones, which means that all the businessmen in my tiger control department are liars!"

The old man coughed dryly, "Miss, this is not easy."

Zhou Ning said lightly: "How about asking the official to do it?"

The old man smiled, "My lady said it was a cow bone, but do you have evidence? If not, there is no need for an official to make a judgment on this matter."

Zhou Ning pointed to the bone, "I have seen tiger bones."

The businessman picked up a leg bone, "Look, there are three tiger bones, but two cow bones... Come, those who know, have a look."

The prairie people have seen a lot of cow bones, and everyone nodded.

The old man said in embarrassment: "My lady, this matter..."

Another old man came over, "Zhao Xian, who are you lying to?"

The old man said with a cold face, "Yue Er."

Yue Er came over with a smile.

Zhou Ning said: "You are spliced ​​together. The leg bones are from camels, and they are also in three parts. But to identify tiger bones, the best way is to burn them. The smell is unbearable. But cow bones can't. "

The businessman's face changed slightly.

"When it is burnt to ashes and put into water, there will be red blood. This is called the blood of the dead tiger. Otherwise, why would it be used as medicine?" Zhou Ning shook his head.

Damn, he's an expert... The businessman coughed dryly, "The weather has changed a little bit, hurry up and close the stall!"

What he called a stall was just a piece of dirty homespun cloth that couldn't be moved even if it was pulled.

A guard stepped on Tubu's foot and said with a smirk, "You still want to leave if you dare to lie in Laian'an?"

The businessman looked around, "Hey! Look! The people of Tang are bullying people!"

Those foreign businessmen were a little restless.

Zhou Ning said: "Go to the state and invite someone to come!"

The businessman sneered, "You think Mr. Yang is your servant, and you can invite him if you want?"

Huahong couldn't help it anymore, "The Shijun Yang you are talking about is my wife's husband, can you invite me?"

Everyone was startled.

When Yang Xuan entered Lin'an, he brought several large carts with him, but no one knew who was in them.

It turned out to be the envoy's wife?
Zhou Ning whispered: "Don't let them make trouble."

If the matter becomes serious, no matter whether it is justified or not, she will be regarded as an embarrassment to Yang Xuan.

Snapped!
When Yue Er went up, he slapped his hands.

The businessman was slapped, but he didn't dare to cover his face, but knelt down with a plop, "Madam, please spare the villain!"

"This lowly dog ​​slave actually cheated Mrs. Shi Jun and killed him!"

"Idiot! Madame's eyes are like lightning, she has already seen through the true colors of your liar at a glance, and you kindly warned me, but you ignored it, damn it!"

"Madam, just watch, I will drive this person out of Lin'an City when I turn around."

"Why turn around, offend Madam and still want to do business? Get out immediately!"

Zhou Ning looked at those foreign businessmen who were filled with righteous indignation before, but now they drove the businessman away with one voice, and couldn't help being a little dazed.

Yue Er said: "Madam first arrived, I don't know these businessmen are cunning. But after everyone knows the identity of Madam, no one dares to be rude to Madam again."

Zhou Ning responded with a few vague words, then walked forward.

"Madam, I have excellent beef jerky here, Madam, please try it."

"Ma'am, these are high-quality leather boots. They are not afraid of water in rainy days, and they are still warm in winter."

The businessmen I met along the way were extremely enthusiastic. Some businessmen even asked their wives to hold dried fruits and force them into the hands of Zhou Ning's maid before turning around and running away.

"Money!" Huahong tasted a dried fruit, which was unexpectedly sweet.

The woman waved her hand, "Without Mr. Yang, we would not be where we are today. Just eat, if you like it, come back and get it!"

Her man said with a smile: "This is just a dried fruit made in my spare time. What is it worth? Madam likes it, and that is the villain's honor."

Zhou Ning wandered all the way to the city, looking at the long stretches of carts, cattle, horses, and sheep, he felt a little dizzy.

"This is Northern Xinjiang?"

According to the people of Chang'an, Northern Xinjiang is a place that is too cold to go out, it's just cold, and the poor are not good, there are no specialties, and the people are particularly fierce...

"Actually, it's not bad!" Zhou Ning thought this place was really good.

"Like?" someone asked behind him.

"Yeah!" Zhou Ning nodded, "Zitai, why do they respect me so much?"

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "In the past, there was no trade between the two sides. Those merchants bought from all over the grassland, and the price was extremely low. Later, I advocated the opening of the market in Taiping, which made the grassland people a lot of income every year."

Zhou Ning was stunned, "You advocated it?"

"What do you think?"

"No wonder the businessman cheated earlier, and those people still helped me."

"Cheating?" Yang Xuan frowned and glanced at Huahong.

"Earlier, there was a man selling tiger bones. The lady knew it was a fake and exposed him. The man dared to make a fuss, trying to incite other people to make trouble. When the slave revealed the identity of the lady, those people immediately changed their faces and called the liar Get out."

"A-Ning, you..." Yang Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Just let someone tell the inspector or sergeant."

The dignified Mrs. Inspector is going to take care of these things, free time!

But Zhou Ning said eloquently: "As the governor, you make decisions for the people, and I, as the wife of the governor, have to help."

"Okay, good wife!"

Zhou Ning couldn't help smiling, and asked, "Zitai, why are you out of town?"

"County magistrates from all over the country are coming. This is the first time. Anyway, I will give them a face."

"Aren't you an old acquaintance?"

"The status has changed, and old acquaintances are more sensitive. If I don't care about it arrogantly, those people will probably slander me, saying that I will forget the old people once I succeed."

Zhou Ning said: "Then I won't delay you, I'll go back now!"

The sound of hooves came, and a group of knights arrived.

"Your Majesty!"

It was Du Hui, the county magistrate of Zhangyu County, who was disappointed when he saw Yang Xuan standing side by side with a woman wearing a hood.

I can't be Shijun's father-in-law anymore!

But then he was touched.

"The envoy even brought his wife to welcome him, how dare he be an inferior official."

Uh!
My wife is not here to greet you!

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "They are all old people, at least we can meet each other."

These days, if you can see your relatives, it means that you are close to the whole family, or they value you very much.

Du Hui's eyes were red.

After he entered the city, Yang Xuan sighed.

Zhou Ning said playfully: "It seems that I have to stay with you outside the city for a while."

"Here's some tea." Yang Xuan told the guards to go back and prepare things.

"You didn't prepare before?" Zhou Ning asked.

Yang Xuan took out the water bag, "I have water to drink."

But you prepared tea for me... Zhou Ning looked at him, the strangeness left by the newlyweds gradually dissipated, and there was only a kind of tenderness.

When the county magistrates saw Yang Xuan and his wife welcoming him, their attitudes changed greatly.

When Cao Ying came, he stared at Zhou Ning for a while, Hua Hong almost scolded him for being rude, but seeing that Yang Xuan was only smiling, he held back.

"Meet the lady!"

Cao Ying saluted.

"Mr. Cao is too polite." Zhou Ning knew that this person belonged to Yang Xuan, and he was in the same position as Yiniang.

"Miss?" Huahong was puzzled, and said with a smile: "He is called Lang Jun and is also Lang Jun, don't you understand?"

My own person!

Zhen Siwen stepped forward to salute.

"Gentle!" Yang Xuan smiled and said, "How is it in Taiping?"

"I wish I could serve under the envoy's command."

Yang Xuan smiled.

The magistrates of the five counties arrived, Zhou Ning returned home, and Yang Xuan went to the prefecture.

"They are all old acquaintances, so I won't talk nonsense."

Yang Xuan said: "This time is also a meeting, and I will also talk to you about some arrangements for Chen Zhou."

Everyone sits down.

Yang Xuan suddenly said: "Sven."

Those present are either county magistrates or important officials from the state, and Zhen Siwen is the only one in charge.He was restless, and stood up when he heard the sound, "Mr.

Yang Xuan introduced: "This is Zhen Siwen, the new magistrate of Taiping County."

Zhen Siwen shivered, "..."
