"This..." Lao Zhu did not agree immediately, but showed hesitation.

"What worries do you have?" Seeing that Lao Zhu did not follow him, the official asked with concern.

There was no such inhumane look as before.

Lao Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment: "To tell you what the adults are saying, it's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that I took my wife with me when I fled this time."

There was no need for Zhu Yuanzhang to say any more, the official already understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

"I don't think it's anything. It would be better if you bring your family. Come with us."

"Don't worry, we are very popular here. In other words, people who are literate are actually very popular."

"His Royal Highness has completed many projects, but there are too few people studying here in Datong Mansion, and no one has done many things."

"The same goes for our reception department. Many times we were scolded by the people above because our income did not match our expenses."

"There were a few guys who said they could settle accounts before, but after letting them try it, they basically lied to me."

As he spoke, the official suddenly stopped and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously: "You really know how to settle accounts, right? Didn't you lie to me?"

"I can tell you clearly in advance. If we find out that you are lying to me, I will make you regret coming to this world."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take his threat to heart at all. Hehe, he smiled and said: "Please rest assured, sir. I don't dare to say anything else. The settlement of accounts will be settled on us."

The checkpoint official waved to the person next to him: "Who is that, Lin Dong, come here and take a look for me."

"I'll send this person to our reception department first."

Seeing this official's enthusiasm, the two masters who had previously protected Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but become nervous.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave them a hidden wink, signaling them not to come over.

"By the way, I still don't know what I call you?" The official's enthusiastic look made Zhu Yuanzhang a little uncomfortable.

Although he also knew that the official's appearance just now was a last resort when facing those people.

There are many times when appearing too weak is not a good thing.

Those with ulterior motives will only push for the best.

Instead, he behaves more fiercely and severely, so that those people will know how powerful he is and not dare to act as he pleases.

After contacting him, Lao Zhu also discovered that this official had a very good temperament.

It was completely different from the officials he knew before, who looked aloof when facing businessmen or ordinary people.

Maybe this has something to do with his relatively young age.

"By the way, I just heard that you can settle accounts, so I pulled you over in a hurry and forgot to ask your name."

"Always here." Zhu Yuanzhang led the donkey and said his name expressionlessly.

Of course it's still the same fake name I've been using.

"I am Gao Fei, you can just call me Lord Gao. Since I brought you here, I will be responsible for protecting you from now on. If you need anything in the future, just call me."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

Although he doesn't dislike Gao Fei's behavior, this guy is also an official of the gate after all, so why is he still acting like a charlatan?

Although you can tell by looking at Gao Fei's official uniform that he is the kind of petty wine-drinking official who is the least popular kind, no matter how small an official is, he is still an official after all.

Gao Fei's character is, at best, a charlatan, but at worst, he's just a charlatan.

Lao Zhu knew without even asking that this must have been done by his good brother again.

It is absolutely impossible for such a person to pass the imperial examination and become an official.

If this matter reaches the court, it will definitely cause another uproar.

But Lao Zhu doesn't care much about this anymore. If there are too many lice, he won't be itchy, and if he has too many debts, he won't worry.

There are countless things more serious than this, compared to the problems of a ninth-grade official.

That wouldn't be a problem at all in the court.

After walking for a while, I found that I was not there yet.

Lao Zhu simply chatted with Gao Fei for a few words: "Master Gao, you look..."

He didn't finish his words, but he already expressed what he meant.

Gao Fei didn't care and patted Lao Zhu on the shoulder: "I don't look like an official, right?"

"To tell you the truth, I was never an official."

"Originally, we were considered the number one person here in Datong Mansion. I wonder if you have heard of the famous swordsman Gao Fei."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his teeth hurt. Although he guessed that this person was definitely not an official with a serious background.

But Lao Zhu never thought that Gao Fei was really a man of the world.

And judging from his triumphant look, he seems to be quite famous.

However, such a wanderer would naturally not be able to catch Lao Zhu's eyes.

It is even less likely that he has heard of his so-called name.

At that moment, he shook his head honestly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, we are not from Datong Mansion, so we haven't heard your name yet."

"I don't know much." Gao Fei complained, but he didn't take it to heart.

He quickly laughed and said, "But if you haven't heard of it, it's normal. Who told me, the swordsman Gao Fei, to have the title of my own?"

……

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless again. Could it be that his brother suddenly fell ill again?

Otherwise, how could such unreliable people be promoted to officials?
Sensing Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat disdainful look, Gao Fei immediately said disdainfully: "What's the matter? Looking down on us people in the world?"

Although he thought so in his heart, of course he would not admit it on the surface. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and clasped his fists: "Sir, you are joking. We are only one term, how can we look down on you?"

"Tch!" Gao Fei was very disdainful of Zhu Yuanzhang's words: "I think you don't dare to look down on my official skin."

"To tell you the truth, if His Royal Highness hadn't invited me over and over again, I wouldn't have bothered to be this shit official."

"I wake up early every day and work hard until late at night. I'm tired to death. I have to deal with official duties that are troublesome to death."

"Nowhere can I walk around the world as freely as I did before."

"The King of England, invited you personally?" Although Lao Zhu knew in his heart, this matter was probably true.

Otherwise, this Gao Fei would not dare to say it blatantly.

After all, slandering the current prince is no small matter.

The key thing is Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of his brother. He can really do such a thing.

It's just that Lao Zhu doesn't understand what special talent this Gao Fei has that allows Zhu Han to invite him in person?
"What, you don't believe it?" Gao Fei raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of teasing.

"I'm not telling you, Lao Chang. You outsiders just don't have any knowledge."

"Gaofei is more or less a hero here in Datong Mansion."

Lao Zhu mercilessly exposed Gao Fei: "Even his name is a self-proclaimed hero."

"Old Chang, how do people like you do business? You can't even speak. No wonder you have to pay like this."

"That's a humble way of saying it. Do you understand being humble? If we were really not famous, could the Eagle King come and invite us in person?"

"Forget it, you ignorant people really have nothing to talk about."

With that said, Gao Fei really didn't leave Zhu Yuanzhang aside.It can be seen that he really doesn't take what Zhu Yuanzhang said to heart at all.

I never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang offended him by saying these words.

Not to mention anything else, Zhu Yuanzhang admired Gao Fei's character very much.

Just appreciate it, but the dean still doesn't quite understand what his brother is doing.

It's not that he looks down on those civilians. After all, when Lao Zhu first started his army, brothers like Soup Box and Xu Da who helped him were actually no better than Gao Fei.

It's just that now, not back then, not everyone can be an official casually.

Otherwise, wouldn't this famous name be in chaos?

If Zhu Han just wanted Gao Fei to be a general, then that would be nothing.

But this Gao Fei is now a civil servant.

No matter how hard Zhu Yuanzhang tried, he still couldn't figure out Zhu Han's true intention.

I couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it. After all, what this kid did was difficult for people to understand.

Goofy is a talkative person, and he almost never stops talking along the way.

Zhu Yuanzhang also learned a lot about the current situation in Datong from his mouth.

Generally speaking, the current situation in Datong is much better than Zhu Yuanzhang imagined.

At least along the way, he didn't see anything that meant he knew Chichi Chiri.

Not only that, it is also full of energy.

Zhu Yuanzhang even felt that this place was not far behind even compared to Yanjing.

Soon, the two came to a government office on the outskirts of Yanjing.

The Yamen looks very dilapidated, and it has obviously not been repaired for a long time.

When Gao Fei opened the door, he even accidentally pulled the door down.

After fussing for a while, I still couldn't break it, and installed the door on the door axis.

In the end, I could only throw it casually by the door.

Turning to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, he said angrily: "What are you looking at? The worse the yamen is, the more honest I am, do you understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes speechlessly: "We haven't said anything yet."

"Then don't you want to say something?" Gao Fei threatened with a bad look.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to his father-in-law without any sincerity: "Your Excellency is honest and upright, I admire you very much."

After forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to flatter him, Gao Fei raised his head proudly and patted the shoulder of the hospitalization certificate twice: "Old Chang, what I appreciate most about you is that you are very discerning."

"Yes, I am that kind of young and good official who is unique among all."

"Otherwise, His Royal Highness would not be able to personally invite me to come out."

After walking into the Yamen, Gao Fei and now Zhu Yuanzhang came to the study.

Although this place is relatively shabby, it can be seen that someone is cleaning it frequently.

Although it is messy, there is not much dust.

Gao Fei directly found out the basic documents from the pile of documents and threw them to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Old Chang, this is your task. First, you should calculate these accounts to me. From now on, all the accounts of our reception department will be handed over to you." It’s up to you to take care of it.”

"Remember, our reception department works for the people affected by the disaster."

"You must remember these transactions clearly."

When he said these words, the original cynical expression on Gao Fei's face disappeared and was replaced by a serious look.

"Don't blame me for not warning you. If you let me know that you dare to take money from refugees, you will be dead."

"I'm not joking with you this time. There are quite a few officials in our Datong Mansion who have been in trouble because of this matter."

"Many people were even beheaded."

"It's just an acquaintance after all. I don't want you to have that day."

After the threat, Gao Fei suddenly laughed again: "But don't worry, Old Chang. As long as you do this well, our Datong Mansion will never treat you badly."

"It may not be possible to give money directly, but His Royal Highness is in our Datong Mansion."

"For this disaster relief, His Royal Highness has come up with a lot of good things."

"Now these things are only supplied to the victims, and can also be used in our Datong Prefecture."

"But when the drought is over, these things can indeed be sold outside."

"You don't know the name of His Highness the Heavenly King, do you?"

"Whatever he comes up with can be easily transferred to mountains of gold and silver seas."

"So..." Gao Fei persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang earnestly: "Old Chang, please don't focus on this little money."

"There will be many opportunities to make a fortune in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly assured: "Don't worry, my lord, although he likes money, he can understand that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way."

“If the victims’ money is touched, are we still human?”

Gao Fei nodded slightly: "I hope you will remember what I said today."

"Okay, I still have things to do, so I won't interrupt your work."

"Hurry up and sort out these accounts. I'll need them later."

After he finished speaking, he actually left Zhu Yuanzhang here and left calmly.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched uncontrollably again.

If there are officials in Yingtian Mansion who dare to deal with the matter like this and leave such an important accounting issue to people of unknown origin.

Lao Zhu was able to kill the official's entire family directly.

But this is Datong Mansion. Although the disaster has passed the most critical stage, the entire Datong Mansion is still in crisis.

And the things Gao Fei is responsible for are indeed very important.

So Lao Zhu doesn't care about this guy anymore.

After Gao Fei left, Zhu Yuanzhang waved slightly.

A master responsible for protecting him sneaked directly into the Yamen and came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Kneel down on one knee and wait for orders.

"Go and check, what's going on with Gao Fei?"

The master responsible for protecting Zhu Yuanzhang took the order and left.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Yuanzhang remembered.

Gao Fei, that bastard, I brought him here to work, but I didn't even arrange a place for him to live.

It would be fine if he was alone, but Queen Ma was still with him.

"Sister, what do you think?"

Empress Ma smiled: "I think this Gao Fei looks a bit like Your Majesty."
