"My lords, the white chain snake is here. This is snake soup, please taste it."

Following the waiter's yelling, a plate of snake soup was brought to the restaurant.

"Masters, this is a salt and pepper white chain snake."

"Masters, this is a fried white chain snake."

"...This is stewed snake skin with snow lotus!"

One after another delicious food was brought up by the waiter in the shop, which made people move their index fingers.

This is the best restaurant in Gaoyang County, called Gaoyang Restaurant.

The manager of Gaoyang Restaurant is the cousin of the current county magistrate.

Now, in the topmost room of Gaoyang Restaurant, all the famous people in Gaoyang County have come.

In the main seat in the middle sat an old man in his fifties with a big belly. He was wearing black casual clothes and had a ruddy complexion.

His left and right hands are the current county magistrate of Gaoyang County and the commander of the city guards, and they are the two most powerful beings in Gaoyang County today.

The rest of them are all dignitaries in Gaoyang County.

A tall and thin middle-aged man next to the county magistrate's left hand is the largest wealthy businessman in Gaoyang County, monopolizing most of the profitable business in Gaoyang County.

The fat man in gorgeous brocade clothes next to the commander of the city guards is the largest landowner in Gaoyang County, holding three-tenths of the land in Gaoyang County. Among them, more than 300 peasant families sold to him and worked for him for many years , so as not to starve to death.

Some of them were the brothers of a school captain, and some were the cousins ​​of some adults in Liaogui Province.

These people formed the powerful group in Gaoyang County.

At this moment, they served the fat man on the main seat respectfully together, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

There is no one else, but this person is Wang Dong, the second steward of the governor's family in Liaogui Province.

Butlers are often close confidantes of a big boss, even if it is not the big butler, but the second butler, but for Gaoyang County, he is still a very important person.

At some point, Wang Dong represented the will of the one from Liaogui Province.

Wang Dong picked up the chopsticks and said with a faint smile, showing that he was not surprised by honor or disgrace, and slowly picked up a piece of snake meat with the chopsticks.

Everyone watched silently, as if he hadn't swallowed, and none of them dared to move their chopsticks.

Wang Dong put the snake meat in his mouth and chewed it, his expressionless face suddenly bloomed like a chrysanthemum, revealing a joyful smile:

"I have long heard that the white chain snake in Gaoyang County is a must. It really lives up to its reputation. It is really delicious in the world."

The rest of the people who accompanied the smiling faces suddenly showed happy smiles, and the county magistrate Li Fu laughed and said, "It's the white chain snake's honor to be able to get into Dong Ye's eyes. Come on, Dong Ye continues."

A banquet was full of joy, and everyone exchanged glasses in the white chain snake banquet.

Before nightfall, there was a taste of drunkenness and dreams.

"Da da da!" The door of the room was knocked softly, and then Li Mo, the county magistrate Li Fu's younger brother, entered the room and whispered something in the county magistrate's ear.

After hearing this, the county magistrate was slightly taken aback and said, "Really?"

Li Mo nodded and said: "It has been confirmed, it is absolutely true."

The second butler, Wang Dong, who seemed to be drunk, suddenly spoke out, and smiled at Li Fu, "What's the matter, you have to keep it from the old man."

The county magistrate didn't dare to neglect, he quickly got up and bowed to the second butler, and then said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, Master Dong, it's the Department of Zhenlu."

Wang Dong's expression moved slightly, and then he said indifferently: "Zhenlu Division? What's wrong with Zhenlv Division?"

This demeanor and tone were obviously not very friendly to Zhenlusi.

Li Fu said with a smile: "Two young men came from the Zhenlu Division. As soon as they entered the city, they beat the people in our city. Then I sent people to investigate and found out that it was Zhenlu Division's people."

"Oh, beat the people in the city?" Wang Dong looked at Li Fu with a half-smile, and the word "common people" was a bit heavy.

As the confidant of a third-rank imperial official, he can guess what kind of people the so-called common people are without the other party telling him.

For no reason, how could the people from the Zhenlu Department conflict with the common people?

Those young people in the Department of Zhenlu are also a group of impassioned people.

However, these are not important, what is important is that the "common people" were really beaten.

Wang Dong said indifferently: "Those two young men from the Department of Zhenlu, didn't they know the law and broke the law? This is an extra crime."

"That's right!" Li Fu said, "Although the people in Zhenlu Division are all young people, they are also colleagues. But I am the parent officer of the people. Now that the people have suffered and been beaten, I am the parent officer. Can't be indifferent."

"Hehehe!" Wang Dong laughed, "Lord Li, you are indeed a good official in the governor's mouth."

Hearing this, Li Fu said happily: "It is really a great honor for me to be named and praised by the governor."

Afterwards, Li Fu slowly approached Wang Dong, took out a stack of gold tickets from his cuff, and said in a low voice, "These are honored to the governor, thank you for your care."

Afterwards, he took out another stack and gave it to Wang Dong, and said in a low voice, "This is for Master Dong, thank you Master Dong for your kind words in front of the governor."

Wang Dong took the golden ticket calmly, skillfully put it in his arms, and then said with a smile: "We all serve the court and the empire, and it is the governor's duty to select parents who are beneficial to the people.

The governor often said that if the county magistrate could be like Lord Li, he would be able to sleep peacefully every day. "

Li Fu hastily said: "Your Excellency the governor is too much, I am ashamed to be an official."

Speaking of this, Wang Dong said indifferently: "However... the Governor, there are some small troubles at the end."

"Oh!" Li Fu's expression changed, and he was slightly happy.

He was not afraid that the governor would bother him, but he was afraid that the governor would not need him, but he would promote himself.

In official terms, if you do a hundred good things with him, it is better to do one bad thing with him.

Because if you do bad things together, you are your own.

Li Fu hurriedly said: "I don't know if the next official will have the honor to share the burden for the governor."

Wang Dong smiled faintly, then lowered his voice, and said, "In the provincial capital, there is also the Zhenlu Division. Not only the Zhenlv Division, but also the Criminal Hall. They are also investigating officials at all levels in the provincial capital... "

Li Fu said with a smile: "As for those people in the Zhenlu Department, just ignore them. With the power of the governor, I'm afraid they can be easily dealt with."

"No!" Wang Dong said in a low voice with a slightly serious face, "The provincial government is different from the county government below. Because each provincial government can be directly responsible to Li Si."

Liz!

To them, this is the real big shot, the tycoon of the Yue Kingdom, who controls the Zhenlu Division that is about to become a terrifying existence.

Once Zhenlu Division stood up, he would be one of the most terrifying giants in the imperial court, a real figure who covered the sky with one hand.

However, for a small county magistrate like Li Fu, he didn't have such a concept, but he didn't care about it.
