Feng Wanli's expression did not change, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Along the way, Jiang Wan was very easy to talk to, so much so that he had the illusion that he didn't need to tell Jiang Wan to do these things. He even felt that his relationship with the other party was like brothers. This kind of thing, Jiang Wan
It shouldn’t matter!
At the moment, it seems that Jiang Wan is very careless.
"It was me who made the decision without permission. There will be no next time!" he said calmly.
"That's very good!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Brother Feng, our friendship is a friendship, and our errands are errands. We must not mix them up. Otherwise, if things are not done well, we will have nothing to do when we return to the capital.
Good fruit to eat!”
Feng Wanli felt a slight shiver in his heart. Thinking of Xu Xianchun's face, the trace of dissatisfaction that had just appeared in his heart finally disappeared.
The two people were talking here, but the officials and gentry over there didn't dare to speak when they saw that they hadn't come over. They just waited there respectfully.
These people's level is too low. Even if they don't know what the "Jiangnan Watcher" from Beijing does, they are looking at Jiangnan. A mere Wuxian County cannot be regarded as Jiangnan.
Moreover, since the guards around this lord are all royal guards sent by the imperial court, the local officials in Wu County do not dare to neglect him!
"Wu County Magistrate Chen Wenrui has met Lord Guanfengshi!"
Jiang Wan walked over, and an official with a clear face raised his head and raised his hand to Jiang Wan: "Master Guanfengshi has been working hard all the way. This county has prepared a small amount of wine to wash away the dust of Guanfengshi!"
"I don't dare to do this!" Jiang Wan said with a slight smile: "Master Chen is too polite. Jiang Wan is just following His Majesty's order to come to Jiangnan for a casual visit. Master Chen's posture is like welcoming an imperial envoy. I really
Panic!"
"You are an angel when you patrol under His Majesty's orders!" Seeing Jiang Wan's young age, Chen Wenrui was a little worried about the young and frivolous person who had achieved success. However, when he saw Jiang Wan's gentle and interesting words, he felt greatly relaxed.
At least, this Lord Guanfeng Envoy should not be difficult to serve.
"There's no need for Bo Jiu. I'd like to thank you all for coming to greet me. Jiang Wan is very grateful!" Jiang Wan looked at these officials and knew that these were probably all the leading figures in Wu County: "However, Jiang Wan will probably stay in Suzhou."
In the next few days, if I have the opportunity, I will get close to you all, and if I want to trouble you, please don’t refuse!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Everyone responded with a smile.
Jiang Wan shook his head and turned around to head towards his carriage. The county magistrate, Chen Wenrui, took a few steps to reach him.
"Master Jiang, we are all here. If we still let Master Jiang stay outside the city, then all my colleagues in Jiangnan will say that I, Chen Wenrui, am ignorant!"
He looked at Jiang Wan: "Besides, Mr. Jiang has many followers, and there is no guest house outside the city that can accommodate Mr. Jiang and his party. Why not ask Mr. Jiang to show his favor and go to the city to rest!"
"I came to Jiangnan to watch the wind. When I entered the city with great fanfare, what else could I see?" Jiang Wan turned around and said with a smile.
"If you are really coming from the south of the Yangtze River to watch the wind, you should go to the city!" Chen Wenrui lowered his voice: "The voice of the people can only be found in the city!"
"Feng Qianhu, you and your brothers, as well as the carriages and horses, will live in the inn outside the city for the time being!" Jiang Wan pondered for a moment: "Master Chen has such good intentions, but if I speculate further, it would be too disrespectful to Master Chen.
, Mr. Chen and I are going into the city!"
"Yes!" Feng Wanli replied solemnly, then greeted the royal guards and headed towards the inn in the distance.
The local officials and gentry waiting outside the pavilion started talking when they saw the carriages and horses leaving, but in the blink of an eye, when they saw their magistrate walking back with Jiang Wan, smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.
Jiang Wan gave the magistrate enough face and got into his carriage. The other carriages and horses followed him and slowly headed towards Wuxian County in the distance.
"Master Guanfeng Shi is young and promising, and has such humility and kindness. I am really lucky to be able to ride with Master Guanfeng Shi!"
Chen Wenrui is about forty years old and looks very bookish. However, in the files obtained by Jiang Wan, the evaluation of this person is not very high. The eight-character comment of "the corpse is a vegetarian, cowardly and incompetent", if it were given by the official department,
This can almost bring an end to the official career of the county magistrate who was born as a Jinshi.
However, given that this dossier was written by Wei Zhongxian's party members, this eight-character comment, not to mention looking at it backwards, is at least not that reliable.
"County Magistrate Chen has a good official reputation. It would be an honor for Jiang Wan to ride with Magistrate Chen!" Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Okay, Magistrate Chen, I think you always seem to have something to say to me.
It sounds like, let’s just omit these polite words and just talk about the content, okay!”
"Then I'll tell the truth!"
Chen Wenrui was stunned, looked at Jiang Wan, and his face suddenly became serious: "Master Guanfeng Envoy, you are here for the purpose of the birthplace of Duke Wei in this county!"
Jiang Wan glanced at him and said leisurely: "Before I was appointed by His Majesty to watch the wind in the south of the Yangtze River, I was a professor in the Tenth Prince's Palace!"
A hint of joy flashed in Chen Wenrui's eyes: "So, Mr. Guanfeng Envoy, you are not here for these trivial matters in this county?"
"Smashing Eunuch Wei's shrine is no small matter!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "This matter has been spread in Beijing, and they all say that the people of Suzhou are amazing. Since I came to Jiangnan to observe the wind, this amazing Suzhou
The common people naturally want to see it, otherwise, how will they tell His Majesty and His Highness King Xin these things when they return to Beijing?"
"I'm just reporting to His Majesty, His Highness King Xin. Don't I need to mention it to the nine-thousand-year-old old man?" Chen Wenrui blinked, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Eunuch Wei may not have time to listen to what a little watcher like me has to say!" Jiang Wan said with a smile. The other party obviously understood the meaning of his words, which made him feel a little happy.
It's still easy to talk to scholars, but people like Feng Wanli are a little worse. They can make decisions before they reach the ground. Does he really think that his group left the capital and came to Suzhou just to help Wei Zhongxian vent his anger?
"Then Xiaguan will feel much more at ease!" Chen Wenrui laughed: "If I am not afraid of Mr. Jiang's jokes, the Jin Yiwei appeared in Xiaguan's government office early in the morning, but he scared Xiaguan to death. I thought that Xiaguan's
Guan'er, I was afraid that it would be over, but I didn't expect that it was a false alarm!"
"If you think being an official is so scary, why not just resign and go back to your hometown like Mr. Liaozhou in Guixian County? Wouldn't it be more practical?"
Jiang Wan looked into the other person's eyes and said, "Are you reluctant to give up the official position you got in these ten years of hard work?"
Chen Wenrui said with a smile on his face: "It is impossible to resign. It is impossible to resign in this life. If I resign and stop doing anything, if someone really comes to embarrass an upright man like Mr. Liaozhou, then who will help them?"
