Chapter 402 On the day when Ah Lie took his wife and children to the imperial capital to take up his post, it was a long way for the three families to see him off.
Ah Xi shed a few tears.
It wasn't that she couldn't bear to leave her uncle and aunt, but mainly because she couldn't bear to leave A Chan.
Ah Xi had always regarded her brothers as her own.
's belongings.
This time, the uncle and aunt are going to take Acan's cousin away, which is equivalent to robbing Axi's things.
Can Axi not be sad?
Well, kids have this weird logic.
However, Yu Xing felt that he had misjudged A-Xi before, and said to her husband, "A-Xi, this child, really values love and justice."
Not only did he give A-Chan a lot of things, but he was also so reluctant to part with A-Can.
In the past, when A-chan was born, A-xi thought that A-can was ugly.
Fortunately, I forgot all about it.
Instead, I felt that a friendship like A-xi's was rare.
Ah Lie also said, "Ah Xi, this child, is affectionate and righteous."
He also wrote a book as thick as a letter and trusted him to bring it to Ah Zhen.
The family of three left Beichang Mansion and went as far as the Imperial City with their relatives and family members showing endless concern and concern.
Of course, this is a sad way to write it.
There is also a cheerful way to write it: Brother Jun puts on a crimson robe, a gold silk crown on his head, soft sheepskin boots on his feet, and rides a tall horse.
He looks proud and proud, and talks to everyone.
Waving his hands, "Everyone, please go back.
I'm here to guarantee a safe journey.
Brother Xing, I'll leave the house to you."
To be honest, seeing Brother Jun like this, many people seeing him off lost their sadness.
After seeing off Ah Lie's family, the three families went to He's house together.
He Lao Niang was in a very low mood, and she couldn't bear to leave her grandson and great-grandson.
She kept talking, "Hey, what's so good about being an official?
I just left as soon as I said it.
How can it be good to have a family together?
It's so far apart in the South China Sea."
When can we meet in the north?"
Old Mrs.
Jiang advised, "My in-laws, aren't all officials like this?
We can't envy our in-laws such a blessing.
Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of my grandson going far away to become an official, but look, Aren This kid is definitely not good enough to study.
I will have to live a few more years to wait for Dabao."
Mrs.
Jiang also said, "Isn't it?
Old lady, look at it.
Not to mention our hometown, here in Beichang Mansion, there are several old people like you.
Not only do their children and grandchildren have passed the Imperial Academy, but their sons-in-law are also It's Hanlin.
I think Brother Jun and Brother Xing are all good and motivated children.
In the future, you will not be able to have such an honor.
I would never dream of it."
He Lao Niang thought about it, this is true, only if her children and grandchildren are promising can they have such a separation.
If they want to leave those who have no ability to chew on the old, they may not be able to get out even if they are beaten.

When Mrs.
He was envious, her mood improved a lot, and she sighed, "Now that we've gone to the imperial capital, thousands of miles away, we can't help the child with anything."
As she said that, she started to sigh again.
He Zijin said, "There is nothing to worry about.
My uncle's family and my in-law's family are all in the imperial capital.
Do you think my uncle is different when he is an official?
Today he is in the south and tomorrow he is in the north.
Officials are like this. , speaking of which, cousin Yi is also here Hanlin, Ah Lie also said it.
"The year Ah Lie got married, Feng Yizheng caught up with Chunwei.
He entered the Imperial Academy that year and later stayed in the Hanlin Academy.
Now he is also in the Hanlin Academy.
When Ah Lie enters the Hanlin Academy, he can be with him.
Feng Yi is a colleague.
"Yes."
Thinking about it, there were so many relatives in the imperial capital, and she gradually felt relieved.
After everyone said something, they all left.
The main thing is that everyone has their own busy schedules, such as A Nian and He Gong, who have to go to the Yamen in the afternoon.
He Gong's place is fine, and Du Tixue has always been lenient, but A Nian's place is different.
Quan tightened his grip.
Ah Nian specifically asked Magistrate Liu for leave when he came out to see off his wife and brother.
Magistrate Liu's words were, of course, "Jiang Tongzhi just go ahead."
In his heart, Jiang Tongzhi was respectful to Mingxiao.
He even wrote a note to A-Nian himself and told his scribes, "No need to record it."
It was as if he was giving someone a big deal. favor.
In fact, there is such a rule in the officialdom.
Officials' requests for leave are usually recorded, but that refers to a long-term leave, such as a day and a half, who would remember it.
Magistrate Liu is so clever.
He feels that he would be doing you a huge favor by not remembering your half-day leave and giving you perfect attendance.
Relatively speaking, Du Tixue was much more easy-going and would not say anything that was not recorded.
He directly said to He Gong, "It will be several years since your Majesty goes to the imperial capital and we see each other again.
There is nothing important at the moment.
You Arrange the things at hand, and take care of the rest by yourself."
If it weren't for the fact that the granddaughters of the same age in the family were already engaged, Du Tixue would have been quite willing to be an in-law with the He family.
Du Tixue was tolerant and gentle, and He Gong was always devoted to his missionaries.
Otherwise, Du Tixue would not be a fool.
Weng and his son-in-law went to work on errands, Ah Ye, Chongyang Dabao, Erlang and Erbao also had to go to their own schools, and Axi also had to go to school.
He Zijin, Miss San and others also had their own affairs.
So, everyone went back to their respective houses to eat.
Because Acan's cousin went to the imperial capital, Axi was very sad for a while.
After school in the afternoon, she went to pick up the twins from her grandfather.
She also told Grandfather Chaoyun about Acan's cousin.
Axi said, "I really I'm reluctant to let my cousin go.
What a good brother, he is so obedient to me.
I want to teach him how to read and write when he is older.
Hey, I really can’t bear to see my cousin go.

Once he leaves, I will lose an obedient person.
"Axi.
He has always regarded himself as the leader of his brothers.
Master Chao Yun smiled, "Take care of the twins first."
A Xi said, "I have taught them well a long time ago.
The twins are not obedient in front of me."
Master Chaoyun said, "You have to convince people with your virtue, but you can't always do it."
Axi said seriously, "I have also reasoned with them, but they don't understand, and they still can't understand.
If you don't hear it, you will know it is wrong with a slap."
Master Chaoyun: Because Acan's cousin went to the imperial capital, Axi asked the twins to sleep with her at night.
She wanted to watch her brothers sleep.
He Zijin said, "The brothers are still young now.
When they are older, let them sleep with you." " Axi said, "I have Sister Chunyu on duty here at night, and I sleep well, so I can definitely take good care of the twins."
Axi was happy to take her brothers to sleep, but her suggestion almost scared the twins to death.
The twins hid in their parents' bed and refused to come down, and they refused to sleep with their sister.
Axi was so angry that she missed Acan's cousin again.
The next day, I went to my grandma’s house and said, “Last night I dreamed about cousin A-can.
Cousin A-can is the best.”
My grandmother and great-grandmother were so moved that they cooked many delicious dishes for her in the evening.
I also took the opportunity to spend the night at my grandfather's house.
He Zijin was preparing a birthday gift for Governor Tian.
Since Magistrate Liu came to Beichang Mansion, none of the families dared to celebrate their birthdays.
In the past, everyone had rules to follow when it came to birthday banquets for Shangfeng or colleagues.
In He Zijin's words, the officialdom was still clear, so there was no need to give gifts lavishly, it was just an ordinary exchange of favors.
But this is Magistrate Liu and his wife.
Mrs.
Liu comes from a saintly family and likes to show off, which is understandable.
But you, Magistrate Liu, are obviously from a wealthy family, but your behavior is not like that even from an ordinary humble family.
Yes, Magistrate Liu celebrated his birthday last year, and he made it clear that he would not accept gifts.
Everyone went over and had a cup of tea each.
Magistrate Liu was like this.
Not to mention others, Ah Nian didn't do anything for his birthday.
This year, for Zijin's sister's birthday, only his family had a birthday meal together, and none of his colleagues in the officialdom outside were disturbed.
Now it is the governor's birthday, how to prepare birthday gifts is a question.
He Zijin discussed with Anian, and Anian said, "Governor Tian has nothing to say now, so he will prepare as before.
If Magistrate Liu is asked to press him this time, Governor Tian's face will not look good."
He Zijin smiled, "Fortunately, we officials are young and can just follow the crowd.
I don't know what happened to other people."
Anian said, "It doesn't matter about the other people, the main thing is to see Li participate in politics."
"I haven't heard anything about Li Shenzheng.
Even though Mrs.
Ouyang is more cheerful, she doesn't feel sorry for anyone."
A Nian asked, "Aren't Mrs.
Li and Mrs.
Liu's natal families from the same hometown?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
They are not very close now."
"We've never been very close."
He Zijin put the gift list on the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "The two ladies have completely different personalities.
Mrs.
Li has always dressed luxuriously and lived a very sophisticated life.
She The two granddaughters in the family are both studying in a girls' school.
Mrs.
Liu is very simple.
Hey, I don't know what year the dress is made of, so many ladies have to go to Mrs.
Liu to talk.
Put on an old dress."
Ah Nian heard this with interest and asked, "What if there is an occasion where there are both Mrs.
Li and Mrs.
Liu, how should the female family members dress?"
He Zijin said, "Those who are close to Mrs.
Liu will naturally dress simply.
Those who are close to Mrs.
Li, then dress more luxuriously."
A Nian asked, "Sister, what do you wear?"
"I come as usual.
Even when I go to Mrs.
Liu's place, I come as usual.
I don't usually wear fancy clothes.
I just wear old clothes everywhere.
This is too flattering."
He Zijin said, "Speaking of which, the same is true for Mrs.
Zhou.
She is the best The one who makes the fuss is Mrs.
Wang Tisi of the Salt Department.
Who doesn’t know that the fattest job is the Salt Department?
As a human being, you have to eat salt.
In addition to the common people in Beichang Prefecture, there are also 100,000 officers and soldiers in Beijingguan.
This salt, They all have to go through the salt department, and even the rich Wang family will suffer from oil leakage.
Why, since the Liu family came to Beichang Mansion, Mrs.
Wang has imitated Mrs.
Liu's behavior inside and out.
The Wang family is so rich.
In the past, when Mrs.
Wang went out, she would always wear silk clothes.
Now she always wears old clothes.
I don’t know, the Liu family and the Wang family What's going on?
As for the position of Wang Tisi's salt department, he is actually at the same level as Liu Zhifu.
Even our family and the Zhou family are slightly lower than the fifth-grade officials like Liu Zhifu.
Flattery.
There must be something going on between the two families."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He Zijin said, "You know that you are also in charge of the salt administration.
You have to pay attention.
The price of salt is getting more expensive day by day.
Fortunately, our family is not poor.
I think if it is a poor family, it will really be hard to eat."
It’s salty.”
A Nian smiled, "Don't worry, sister, I know it well."
When He Zijin prepares Governor Tian's birthday gift, Governor Tian's birthday will come.
On such an occasion, as long as there is a daughter-in-law of high quality, the husband and wife must attend together.
After presenting the gift list, A Nian went to the official guests, while He Zijin took the maid to the garden where the guests were entertained.
Because A-Nian was not a high-ranking official in Beichang Mansion, He Zijin left early to celebrate his birthday.
Now that she came early and could still have a seat, she sat down with Mrs.
Tian to talk with her.
Mrs.
Tian saw that He Zijin was wearing a bright purple dress with gold on the background, and a sparrow-head hairpin with beads hanging from her temples.
This set of jewelry was very luxurious, and the largest beads hanging down were the size of lotus seeds.
There are also red gold bead pendants in the ears, and there are gold rings and bracelets inlaid with beads between the fingers and wrists, which can be seen as a set of jewelry.
This jewelry is quite popular in the royal family, especially since Mrs.
Tian has never seen He Zijin wearing it before, so it can be seen that it was specially dressed up and solemnly for her family's birthday banquet.
This makes Mrs.
Tian happy.
Ever since the damn Liu family came to Beichang Mansion, they have been really shameless, dignified and always dressed in rags.
Of course, "rags and rags" is an exaggeration, but if a wife doesn't dress up brightly and dignifiedly when she goes out, she really can't even afford new clothes.
Call Mrs.
Tian and say that this person named Kong is just pretending.
What makes Mrs.
Tian even more depressed is that there are still people trying to flatter her and imitate her.
Nowadays, He Zijin is so luxurious and wealthy, and he is very attractive to Mrs.
Tian.
Mrs.
Tian smiled and said, "Mrs.
Jiang is young, and this dress looks good, so you can wear it."
Mrs.
Zhou Tongpan was also one of those who came early.
She was always straightforward.
She smiled when she heard this and said, "Mrs.
Jiang is young and has bright colors.
It's time to dress up."
"Yes, let's talk and eat and drink together.
Although I am old, I also like to see you young people dressing up.
When I look at you, I look a few years younger."
Mrs.
Tian has finished her compliment.
The age of the color, but after all, Mrs.
Tian was born in a weaving house, and who has never been young.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Mrs.
Tian now likes to see young people dressed up and decorated with flowers, and she is very happy to see them.
He Zijin touched his face and said with a smile, "You two praise me so much that I almost blush."
Mrs.
Tian smiled and said, "Why are you so thin-skinned?
In the past, I said that at your age, it is the time to dress up.
I said that you used to dress plainly."
He Zijin said with a smile, "I have not been a vegetarian in the past, but for such a big day as the Governor's birthday, I just wear ordinary clothes."
He also praised Mrs.
Tian's exquisite dress, Mrs.
Zhou's unique hairpin, and One or two female relatives joined in the fun, and everyone started talking about food, clothing and dressing up.
Mrs.
Liu arrived not late, but she was wearing a half-worn crimson dress, which made Mrs.
Tian frown.
The last person to arrive was Mrs.
Li Shenzheng.
Mrs.
Li is also a grandmother.
Her clothes are no longer gorgeous, but more elegant.
But according to Mrs.
Li's temperament, there is nothing inelegant or elegant about her body or hair. , Mrs.
Li also congratulated her on her birthday, and sat at the lower right side of Mrs.
Tian.
At this time, He Zijin could still sit in the middle seat.
This was not because Anian was a senior official, but mainly because she had a royal title.
For Mrs.
Zhou and Mr.
Shen, it would be nice if they could basically have a seat in the main hall.
He Zijin felt a little uncomfortable every time they were seated like this, feeling that it would be better to sit at the end with her mother.
Mrs.
Shen was quite open-minded and felt that it was very honorable for her daughter to have a royal destiny.
Governor Tian's birthday today is actually no different from the past, but everyone's hearts are obviously not on this birthday banquet.
Last year, Magistrate Liu had a birthday banquet where guests were served with tea and no gifts, and Governor Tian's birthday banquet.
Even if it was the previous rules, everyone still felt that this birthday banquet was very meaningful.
Fortunately, in the officialdom, harmony can still be achieved.
However, everyone also knows in their hearts that the storm is about to come.
After the birthday banquet at Governor Tian's house, everyone went back to their homes.
Even Mrs.
Shen didn't want to remind her daughter, "Don't go to the Tianliu family these days.
I heard from your father that the two families are about to fall out." ” He Zijin didn't want to go to these two families, He Zijin said, "Dad works under Tixue.
Du Tixue's rank is higher than that of Liu Zhifu.
Mother, of course you don't have to go to Liu's house.
But Ah Nian, I'm working under Magistrate Liu.
If Mrs.
Liu invites me, I can't go.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I'm afraid that if I don't go here, Magistrate Liu won't be able to put on A-Nian's shoes."
Mrs.
Shen also sighed and said, "This is really a fight between gods and mortals."
She said to her daughter, "Previously, your father and Master Tixue suggested that in government-run schools in various states and counties, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, they should also treat gentlemen All six arts courses are Let's start.
Everyone knows this is a good idea, but although Duti is a senior official, he doesn't have any real power compared to the prefect.
The governor agreed to this matter, but the prefect lamented that he had no money for this matter now.
It hasn’t been done yet.”
He Zijin said, "It's been more than half a year and it still hasn't been done."
"No."
Shen said, "Now I heard that as long as the governor agrees, the prefect will definitely oppose it.
If the prefect supports it, the governor will definitely shake his head.
With so much competition, there is no time to do more practical things. " He Zijin sighed, "Look at what Mrs.
Liu was wearing at Governor Tian's birthday party."
"Mrs.
Liu is always like this."
He Zijin frowned, "Integrity doesn't depend on what you wear.
I'm not saying that.
If it is true that the family is not rich, then just wear more ordinary clothes.
Mrs.
Liu, who was born in a famous family and married into a wealthy family, is also like this.
That’s it.”
"Who says it's not?"
Shen said, "I heard that Du Ti submitted a plan to the governor's office and the prefect's office at the beginning of the school year, but it hasn't been approved yet.
Forget it, the prefect's office said that this year's budget has been several times over.
Ten thousand taels, I really don’t have money to invest in government-run schools.”
"Is it possible that Du Tixue offended Magistrate Liu?"
"You don't know" He Zijin shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."
Ms.
Shen belongs to the circle of female relatives in the education system and is relatively clear about the education system.
"I thought you knew it.
It was said that Mrs.
Liu fell in love with the Du family's son earlier and wanted to get married, but the Du family was not happy."
He Zijin said, "I really haven't heard of it.
If it's because of this, the Liu family is quite narrow-minded."
"Who says it isn't?"
The mother and daughter had just talked about the education system, and then something amazing happened in Beichang Mansion.
Well, the money allocated to the Tixue Institute to set up the Six Arts Courses for Gentlemen was available.
The governor's office took it out.
Governor Tian cashed in the birthday gift he received and used the money to provide education to the Tixue Department and add courses to the government-run schools.
Students can become more gentlemanly.
Everyone would praise what Governor Tian has done as a beautiful thing.
Governor Tian also held a tea party, giving serious instructions to the officials of Beichang Prefecture, saying, "Prefect Liu didn't hold a birthday party last year, so he invited everyone to tea.
This is Prefect Liu's temperament, but I thought, Hundreds of people have different temperaments.
I think since last year’s birthday party for Magistrate Liu, no one dared to celebrate their birthdays.
"Governor Tian laughed twice and twisted his beard and said, "It doesn't have to be like this.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
We are not greedy for money.
It is a normal human relationship.
It is difficult to have any relationship.
With Magistrate Liu only inviting tea, no one will hold a birthday banquet.
Like Jiang Tongzhi who was promoted last year and was so scared that he didn’t dare to celebrate his birthday, right?”
Jiang Tongzhi was extremely shocked.
It was not unusual for Governor Tian to know that he didn't have anything to do with his birthday.
However, how could he talk to him?
Jiang Tongzhi showed a hint of surprise and then hurriedly said, "The longevity noodles that Xiaguan eats at home are because they are first-class noodles."
It’s been a year and I haven’t sent any posts abroad.”
Du Tixue smiled and said, "Although Jiang Tongzhi spent his birthday in a low-key manner, he still donated one hundred taels of silver to our state school.
This year, Mrs.
Jiang celebrated her birthday and donated another one hundred taels of silver to our state school.
A good couple.
Those who do good and don’t want others to know must have been influenced by the governor.”
Jiang Tongzhi couldn't help but look at Du Tixue.
His father-in-law was an official under Du Tixue.
He and Du Tixue usually had no grudges.
What did Du Tixue mean?
Sure enough, Magistrate Liu was not happy when he heard this.
He looked at Jiang Tongzhi with a smile and said, "Jiang Tongzhi's donation is equivalent to a year's salary.
He is also a role model among our officials."
Then he asked again, "Jiang Tongzhi donated all his salary."
"How do you maintain your family's livelihood?"
This kid is usually very honest in front of me, but he is very cunning in private.
Jiang Tongzhi was already feeling bad and knew that Magistrate Liu was overthinking it.
However, despite Magistrate Liu's aggressive attitude, Jiang Tongzhi did not want to go along with Governor Tian's wishes and did not follow Du Tixue's words.
Instead, he said, "I am mainly a wife who is good at running the household.
I don't wait for my salary to buy rice for cooking.
Otherwise, if I can't take care of my own family, I can't just donate my salary."
"The girls' school run by Jiang Tongzhi's family is very famous in our Beichang Prefecture."
Wang Tisi, the salt class student, laughed, "I'm not saying that any of our families are short of money.
Jiang Tongzhi's family can't be short of money."
"First of all, I have to tell my colleagues that the girls' school was not run by me, but by my wife.
To be honest, my family is supported by my wife's private house."
Jiang Tongzhi is not a dumpling either.
When he met Wang Tisi Everyone crowded around him.
Jiang Tongzhi smiled and looked at Wang Tisi.
"Everyone knows what my family is like.
Not like Wang Tisi, I heard my wife say that salt is getting more expensive every day.
Salt is so expensive.
Why is Wang Tisi wearing an old shirt?
Could it be you, the salt teacher?
I can’t even eat salt anymore,” A Nian said and laughed.
Li Shenzheng laughed loudly and said, "Jiang Tongzhi always liked to act like a young man, but he didn't know he was so funny."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Ah Nian smiled slightly, "I was thinking that because my wife is good at running the house, my family is not poor and can afford ordinary food.
My wife said that the price of salt remains high.
My family is like this, so I don't know what ordinary people's families are.
How's it going?"
Li Shenzheng said seriously, "What I'm saying is that salt is different from other things.
You still have to pay attention to it."
Governor Tian glanced at Wang Tisi and said, "What's going on?"
Wang Tisi said, "The price of salt has always fluctuated.
Because recently it has been supplied to the Beijingguan Army for salt, so it was a little nervous for a while, so the price is high.
When new salt is shipped from the salt well, it will naturally It’s going down.”
Governor Tian, however, is not easy to fool.
This is Governor Yu’s old assistant.
He is very proficient in general affairs.
He said, "The army provides supplies at its own time every month.
It is like this every year.
There are no rules about order."
It hasn’t changed, so why is the salt so expensive this year?”
Wang Tisi's face was a bit unattractive, but Governor Tian was n levels higher than him.
Wang Tisi was unhappy and could only say, "The lower official is only in charge of the salt class.
As for the price of the salt, "That's the salt merchant's business.
As long as it's not too out of line, we can't control it."
He really didn't know what the price of salt was now.
Governor Tian glanced at Anian and said, "Since Wang Tisi is only responsible for selling salt and collecting money, and Tongzhi Yamen is also responsible for salt administration, then Jiang Tongzhi will go and find out what is going on with the salt price."
A Nian quickly stood up and responded.
When everyone left the governor's yamen, except for the military camp headed by General Beichang who showed little reaction, the civilian camp basically had their own thoughts.
A Nian was also very upset.
He, a small bureaucrat who usually behaved peacefully, was actually forced to take sides.
Yes, after this quiet contest in the Governor's Mansion, in the eyes of others, Jiang Tongzhi Definitely the governor type.
However, only Jiang Tongzhi knew in his heart that he had never surrendered to Governor Tian.
By accident, he was a double-dealer and was promoted to the vanguard by Governor Tian.
It is conceivable that Jiang Tongzhi felt unhappy.
If there was anyone more unhappy than Jiang Tongzhi, it would be Wang Tisi, the salt class man who was being bullied by Governor Tian and his colleagues today.
Wang Tisi's face looked as stinking as a rotten egg on a hot summer day as soon as he left the governor's office.
Wang Tisi gave Jiang Tongzhi a cold look, then spat in Jiang Tongzhi's direction, calling him "traitor" Even if it is true that Liang Mian is no longer a human being, Jiang Tongzhi doesn't want anyone to know, but this is not a secret after all.
Jiang Tongzhi is not someone to be bullied.
He smiled coldly and turned around and spat back, because Jiang Tongzhi was young, strong and accurate.
That's enough.
This spit landed at Wang Tisi's feet very accurately.
Jiang Tongzhi was born in Tanhua, and he was very literary and said, "Bitch."
Wang Tisi's face was so stinky that he turned green.
He didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Governor Tian.
That was because his official rank was far different from that of Governor Tian.
Now that he was scolded by a young colleague, Wang Tisi couldn't bear it anymore and stepped over, "What did you say?"
Jiang Tongzhi seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I said that your superior, Wang Tisi, told me that Magistrate Liu wanted to marry Du Tixue, but it didn't work out.
You, Wang Tisi, are about to propose themselves, right?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
As soon as these words came out, Liu and Du both looked ugly.
Wang Tisi grabbed Jiang Tongzhi's wrist and said, "How dare you spread rumors about me?"
Jiang Tongzhi said coldly, "The governor has handed over the salt price matter to me for investigation.
I am no more leisurely than you, Wang Tisi, to spread rumors."
He opened Wang Tisi's hand with a slap, pulled back his sleeve, and walked away. . gd1806102:
