After entering the main hall, Zongzhi explained to Guo An with an apologetic look on his face: "Guo Zhixian, I heard that Wanping County's magistrate and chief minister have not made up the balance. It is the fault of us and the chief envoy.
Under the supervision of His Highness King Yan, I, the Chief Envoy, woke up.
Afterwards, two assistant officers were quickly and carefully selected.
After receiving the approval from the Ministry of Personnel, I quickly sent the two Wanping County Assistant Officials, the County Cheng and the Chief Bo!"
"This is Han Zhiren, Prime Minister of Han County, and this is Bo, the benefactor of Shi Dazhen!"
Below, the two newly appointed assistant officials of Wanping County quickly stood up to pay homage to Guo An.
"Your Majesty, Han Zhiren, meets the Honorable County Guo!"
"The lower official Shi Dazhen meets Guo County Zun!"
Guo An's face was full of joy, "Guo An would like to thank all the officials in the Chief Envoy's Department. Of course, he also welcomes Han County Prime Minister and the benefactor Bo. There are no assistant officials in the county government to assist me at this time. I, the county magistrate, are busy with official duties every day, and my feet are not touching the ground."
, sometimes I can’t even take a breath!
Now, I finally have two assistant officers, and I can finally have some leisure time."
"Your Majesty Guo is so polite!"
Zong Zhi, Han Zhiren, Shi Dazhen and others all had strange faces.
Now, among all the officials in Beiping Prefecture, no one knows how much leisure you, the magistrate of Wanping County, have every day.
Even in the past month, are you still running out of the city every day?
Guo An continued: "Han County Prime Minister and the benefactor Bo have just arrived in Wanping County. I will introduce them to the classics and history of the county government and a group of scribes, and then I will give them a refreshment in the evening."
"Zong Xingren, don't go back in a hurry. I will thank Zong Xingren tonight!"
Zong Zhi looked embarrassed and said, "What should I do?"
"Why is it bad? When Guo An took office, he was also the one who bothered Zong Xing to send him here, but Guo An never took the time to thank Zong Xing.
Now, the Zong experience has sent two more assistant officers to me, if Guo An doesn't thank the Zong experience properly, what a human being?"
Guo An said with sincerity.
It just so happened that Zong Zhi also wanted to get close to this magistrate, the only confidant of His Highness King Yan among the magistrates of Beiping Prefecture.
So, I just followed the trend and agreed.
Dinner will be at the barbecue shop next to Haizi Pier.
In a private room on the third floor.
Zong Zhi and Guo An were in charge, with Han Zhiren, Shi Dazhen and Wang Zhen accompanying them.
When a table full of barbecue was served and two jars of fine wine were served, Zong Zhi, Han Zhiren, Shi Dazhen, and Wang Zhen all had their eyes widened.
"It's so rich?"
"My lord, how much does this big table cost?"
At their age, Han Zhiren and Shi Dazhen were able to serve as county magistrates and chief ministers, so they naturally had no background.
Therefore, when I saw such a large table of dishes again and compared the menus on the side, I was so surprised that I stuttered.
"If Mr. Zong guessed correctly, with so many dishes and fine wine, it won't cost more than ten taels of silver."
Although Zong Zhi was calmer, he was still holding on.
One meal is his salary for nearly a month.
Having personally experienced the tragic Guo Huan case a few months ago, where heads were falling to the ground, Zong Zhi was trembling in his heart.
"Don't be polite, everyone. The meat of these barbecues is very fragrant. Moreover, there are also these portions of sheep whip, sheep kidneys, pig brains, and pig blood, which are great tonics for men like us.
Eat quickly, if it's not enough, you can ask the chef to grill another one." Guo An waved his hand with a bold look on his face.
Zongzhi said quickly: "Why is this so embarrassing?"
The waiter who was waiting on the side smiled softly and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, everyone, Mr. Guo County never has to pay when he eats at the barbecue restaurant!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Zong Zhi, Han Zhiren, and Shi Dazhen's pupils shrank, their faces full of surprise.
Immediately, they all looked at Guo An with envy on their faces, "I didn't expect His Highness Prince Yan to be so close to County Lord Guo, which makes us envious."
The corners of Guo An's mouth curved slightly, showing a hint of pride, "Haha, you don't have to be so envious, His Highness King Yan trusts me so much, but I can't come here to eat every few days!
Today, thanks to the favor of a few people, Guo An can shamelessly come here to have a big meal."
Then, he looked at the waiter on the side and said, "Dashi, go greet other diners first. I'll greet you if necessary!"
"Yes, Mr. Guo County!"
The waiter named Dashi responded and walked out directly.
After Dashi left, Zong Zhi, Han Zhiren, and Shi Dazhen looked at Guo Anzhi again, the expressions in their eyes were much humbler again.
They found that they had still far underestimated the status of Guo County Master in the eyes of His Highness King Yan.
As for Wang Zhen on the side, he looked thoughtfully at Guo An, who had a completely different style from the past.
"Come on, everyone, eat meat and drink wine!"
The goal has been achieved, Guo An was not polite and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing this, Zong Zhi, Han Zhiren, Shi Dazhen and others could no longer hold back and began to eat like a whirlwind.
Gradually, half the table was filled with barbecue and two jars of fine wine, and everyone at the table except Wang Zhen was already a little drunk.
Especially Zong Zhi, Han Zhiren, and Shi Dazhen, who were in turbulent moods, were more likely to get tipsy after drinking.
There were more conversations among everyone.
Zong Zhi took a bunch of sheep whip and ate it with vinegar and garlic, and said: "Your Majesty Guo County, in fact, all the officials in Beiping Prefecture are really envious of you for being so trusted by His Highness King Yan.
"
Guo An casually replied: "Zong experience is too polite. As long as all officials fulfill their duties, sincerely follow His Highness King Yan to work and develop Beiping Mansion, they will definitely gain the trust of His Highness King Yan!"
Zong Zhi shook his head slowly and said with some self-deprecation: "But I am envious of these officials, but how dare I be so close to His Highness King Yan?"
Guo An asked directly: "Why?"
Zong Zhi did not answer, but said to himself: "Does Mr. Guo know that since the beginning of this barbecue shop, Mr. Guo and His Highness King Yan have been impeached?"
Guo An was shocked, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead: "What?"
Zong Zhi said again: "Now, Guo County Zun often goes to the iron mine in Shangzhuang Village and is impeached again, and he is even more sharp than last time..."
At this moment, Guo An suddenly woke up, stared at Zong Zhi closely, and asked in a low voice: "May I ask Zong Zhi, who impeached me?
I am just a small county magistrate. I have neither blocked anyone's financial path nor blocked anyone's future. Why do you want to impeach me again and again?
Even, His Highness Prince Yan is implicated?"
"What?"
Zong Zhi looked confused, "What did Guo Xianzun just say about impeachment? Who wants to impeach whom? Guo Xianzun, don't talk about the word impeachment carelessly, this will lead to big things..."
Guo An: "..."
Han Zhiren and Shi Dazhen on the side had no intention of drinking at this moment, and their eyes flickered.
After this meal, Guo An was filled with anger.
He has been living such a low-key life, and there are still thieves who want to assassinate him?
