Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 442 Eat a feast

   Gao Cheng sent Zhao Hanzhang away with joy. After returning to the county office, he let out a sigh of relief and beckoned his subordinates, "I'm too tired today. I'll go back to the backyard to rest first, and I'll send someone to find me if I have something to do."

"Yes."

   Gao Cheng raised his foot and was about to go to the backyard, but only halfway there, a police officer hurried in and said, "Xiangjun, Lu Yang has an official document."

   Gao Cheng frowned, "It's almost New Year's Eve, what other documents are there?"

   How could the messenger know that he was the messenger of the post station and was only responsible for delivering official documents.

   He bowed and delivered the document.

   Gao Cheng opened it, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little dizzy in front of him.

   The subordinates could not help but glance at each other when they saw this, and hurried over to ask, "What's wrong with the county magistrate?"

   Gao Cheng stretched out his hand to support the master bookkeeper closest to him, the blood that had just risen on his face disappeared again, even paler than before, "The county governor has resigned with his seal..."

   The subordinates were also stunned, and asked dumbfounded, "Ah, why?"

   Gao Cheng suddenly became angry, "You ask me? How do I know, I've been busy like a spinning top these days, how do I know why?"

   The subordinates were silent.

   Gao Cheng murmured to himself, "Why? Why is this? I thought she was going to Luyang, with Pei Jun guarding her, so she probably wouldn't notice it on my side..."

   After all, Nanyang Country is so big, and there are so many counties under it, Xi'e County is only one of them, he can guarantee that the situation in Xi'e County is definitely not the worst, and then...

  But...why did the county governor suddenly resign?

   Gao Cheng thought of something, and his whole body froze. He grabbed the master's hand tightly, his eyes widened, "Yesterday, yesterday she came back from outside the city!"

   "Yes, many people have seen it. She brought a hundred cavalry back from outside the city."

"Didn't you say she was sick? Where did she go quietly these past few days? Why is it so coincidental, she said she was going to Luyang, and the news of Pei Junshou's resignation came, which just made a place for her..." Gao Cheng shook his lips and said, "She also said she wanted to see me there..."

   The county officials did not speak.

Gao Cheng felt uncomfortable for a while, and slowly got used to the hanging sword that was back at the base of his neck. He withdrew the hand that was gripping the master's arm, and his face returned to calm, "Let's go, let's discuss how to prevent frostbite. disaster."

   A small official asked, "Isn't the magistrate going back to rest?"

   "No," Gao Cheng said weakly, "I'm not tired anymore, not at all."

   Gao Cheng burst into tears in his heart. At this moment, he also wanted to hang his seal and leave, but he wondered if Zhao Hanzhang could allow him to resign alive?

The thought flashed, Gao Cheng lowered his head, a tear really fell from his eyes, it was too bitter, he was really too bitter, for six consecutive days, he slept no more than three hours a day, there were several days. Even less than two hours.

   This is the first time that he has worked so hard as an official in more than ten years. If it is so hard to be an official, why should he be an official?

   Gao Cheng really wants to resign, as long as he can resign alive, he is really willing to give way, but...

  Can Zhao Hanzhang let him resign alive?

   After all, he is not a famous minister like Pei He, so he didn't dare to try it out, so he could only continue to work tirelessly. At least, he must not make her too angry the next time he sees her.

   Gao Cheng ordered: "This year, the disaster is severe, and the yamen will not be sealed. Let everyone go to the countryside, count the disaster, and provide relief to the victims."

  The county officials did not dare to express their opposition, and bowed their heads silently.

   Zhao Hanzhang's sword hangs not only on Gao Cheng's neck, but also on their necks.

   At this moment, in Luyang City, the county governor's mansion is in chaos.

   The New Year's Day is approaching, and the yamen is about to seal the New Year's Eve. Pei He left as soon as he said it, and many things didn't have time to hand over.

The county chief can only count the warehouse and check the accounts, and at the same time give orders to the counties to inform them of the news and order them to take care of their own counties. .

   On the other hand, he has to write an official document to the Chen County side, and ask the governor and the imperial court to invite another county governor to come.

   Jun Cheng has some unrealistic ideas, but in fact he thinks he can do it.

   However, people in the Wei and Jin dynasties were not popular for self-recommendation. What they were popular for was to be dismissive of common things, and then rejected, rejected, and accepted after rejection.

   So the county chief hesitated for a moment, but still did not propose himself.

   He decided to invite someone to recommend him, and this would not be successful, but it would save his face.

There are actually many people who have ideas with him. Although everyone’s officials are not as high as the county seat, this does not prevent them from wanting to leapfrog promotion, so the city of Luyang is very lively. entertain guests.

   When Zhao Hanzhang and the others entered Luyang City again, the atmosphere in the city was completely different.

   There was a faint scent of wine in the air, and some beggars ran to an alley while looking back at them.

   Zhao Hanzhang restrained his horse, and very simply summoned a street vendor who was hiding on the side of the road to ask, "What are these beggars running for?"

   The vendor lowered his head and shivered: "Yes, it should be going to Wicker Street to wait for food."

   "Is there anything to eat in Wicker Street?"

   The vendor responded nervously with a "yes" and whispered, "The county magistrate feasts guests, some leftovers will be thrown out. When they search, they can find a lot of food."

   Zhao Hanzhang took a deep breath, smelled the faint aroma of wine in the air, and asked, "Then this city is full of wine..."

   "I heard today that it is going to be a wine fight. The county chief and several high-ranking officials have brought out their treasured wine fighting wine."

   When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he raised his mouth slightly and said to Fu Tinghan, "I also like to drink. It would be a pity if we didn't join in this kind of excitement. Let's go, let's go!"

   The city gate soldier who led her way sweated on his forehead, and quickly asked, "Shijun, Shijun, those people behind..."

   Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Bring them together, there are so many people, everyone will go to congratulate the governor. I think he will be happier when he sees so many people congratulating him."

   Zhao Hanzhang turned back and said to the old and weak women and children: "Everyone, don't be polite to the county chief, and let them eat."

   Everyone should respond, they will not be polite.

   Zhao Hanzhang led everyone with a smile on his lips.

   The county chief who was fighting with people just received the news that Zhao Hanzhang was bringing people into the city, and before he had time to change his clothes to greet him, Zhao Hanzhang brought people outside the door.

   The county chief didn't bother to change his clothes that smelled of alcohol, so he went out to greet him.

As soon as he went out, he saw a pair of young men and women holding horses standing not far from the door. The two of them were wearing capes and armor. They were looking up at the courtyard wall of his house. With this bearing and appearance, one could tell that it was Zhao Hanzhang and Yu. She is inseparable from Fu Tinghan.

   The county chief hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Xiaguan greets the envoy, but I don't know if the envoy is coming, and the lower official is far away to welcome him."

   There were many officials of the county governor who came out with the governor, all of them were ruddy and smelled of alcohol.

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded with a smile, avoided their ceremony, and asked with a smile, "I heard that there is a banquet at the county seat's house, I wonder if there is a seat for us?"

   The county chief hurriedly said: "Of course there are, so please come in quickly."

   Zhao Hanzhang threw the rope to Ting He, pointed to the back and said to the Juncheng: "It's good to have it, then arrange it for us together."

   Jun Cheng hurriedly responded, looked up and looked behind, dumbfounded.

   After dozens of cavalry, there are nearly 1,000 people dressed as refugees, and there are hundreds of cavalry in the back. This must be... 2,000 less people, right?

  A table for ten people, that's two hundred tables...

   Jun Cheng opened his mouth and was about to say something. Zhao Hanzhang had already led Fu Tinghan and Zhao Erlang to the door.

   He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly called for a manager, "Quickly make arrangements."

   Then he caught up with Zhao Hanzhang.

   Good night
