No wonder Chief Ji got up in fright in the middle of the night and hurriedly found someone to decorate the yamen, causing everyone to stand on their backs.
etc......
Xiao Lingyue had a flash of inspiration.
Could this have been arranged by Zhan Beihan?
In the absence of King Xiang, the status of the three household officials was equal, and no one was qualified to give orders to the others, let alone act without authorization to expose their identity.
Only Zhan Beihan's decree can order them.
Sir Zuo Shilang Master Shen was exposed in advance. Wasn't it Zhan Beihan's request?
What does he want to do?
Xiao Lingyue had a vague premonition in her heart.
She knew that Zhan Beihan would never sit still and wait for death. Yesterday she didn't follow his wishes, and today he came to disrupt her plan!
If she had known earlier, she should not have followed Boss Zhao here...
Only now did I realize that it was too late.
Boss Zhao was still in shock and surprise when Master Ji started to chase him away: "I've told you so much, you already know how powerful it is. The county magistrate will definitely not have time to see you today, so don't stand in front of the Yamen Gate.
Come on, hurry up and leave..."
The words are not finished yet.
A yamen servant suddenly ran over panting: "Master Ji, something serious has happened!"
Master Ji's face changed: "What's wrong?"
"The imperial envoy has entered the city!" the Yamen servant said with a panicked expression, "He will be coming to the Yamen soon."
Chief Secretary Ji almost jumped up in shock, "How come it's so early? It's not yet time for the Yamen to go on duty, and the county magistrate hasn't come yet. How...how can we welcome him?"
Yamen servant: "Please think of a solution quickly, the imperial envoy must not neglect it!"
Director Ji hurriedly said: "Quick! Send someone to Li's house to ask the county magistrate to come over. Everyone else should stop being busy. Clean up quickly and line up to greet him. We must not let the imperial envoy think that we are neglecting our etiquette...
..."
With that said, Director Ji didn't even bother to chase Boss Zhao away. He picked up his clothes and hurried into the Yamen.
Dozens of yamen servants in the yamen were in a mess and were running around in a hurry.
Xiao Lingyue pulled off Qiao Qing's sleeve and whispered: "Why don't you let Boss Zhao leave first? Obviously we can't visit today."
Qiao Qing shook her head and whispered: "This is a rare opportunity. Boss Zhao will definitely not miss the opportunity to meet a high official of the imperial court."
If he can speak a few words to a senior official, Boss Zhao will be able to strengthen his waist when doing business in the future.
How could a businessman miss such a great opportunity in pursuit of profit?
Xiao Lingyue: "..." She looked at Boss Zhao who was walking straight into the Yamen with a happy face.
There was nothing to say for a moment.
If Boss Zhao doesn't leave, Qiao Qing, as a member of the caravan, naturally can't leave either.
Xiao Lingyue could only follow in.
The yamen was already in chaos. The county magistrate was away, and all matters were decided by Master Ji. He was so busy that he was sweating. He finally managed to arrange things properly. The imperial envoy's carriage was almost at the yamen gate.
At this time, Chief Ji discovered that Boss Zhao and his party were hiding among the yamen and almost fainted.
But it was too late to drive away.
A voice came from the yamen door: "The imperial envoy has arrived!"
"..."
Master Ji glared at Boss Zhao fiercely, turned around with a smile on his face, trotted towards him, knelt down and saluted him.
"Ji Cong, the chief of Yuanmu Town, Xiaguan, please see Mr. Shen!"
