The head is pointed and the body is as thin as silver.

There is no slightest bit on the scale,

Eyes grow on the butt,

Only recognize clothes but not people!

This is a riddle circulating among the people. Using the fine needles of sewing clothes to satirize those villains with snobbish eyes, it is humorous and deep in the bones!

However, it also proves from the side that when dealing with snobs, you must wear gorgeous outfits, otherwise you will be looked down upon and things will be difficult to deal with.

The next morning, Xue Yu brought four friends, together with Zhang Xiaoqi, Hu Dachui and others into the city, and did not rush to go to the county government office. Instead, he went to the pawn shop first, redeem Zhang Xiaoqi's embroidered spring knife, and exchanged some broken silver by the way!

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous to take out the gold, flowers and silver ingots of 50 taels per ingot, and it would be inconvenient to use. As for the gold, silver jewelry and utensils, they would have to be sold after leaving Qi County to avoid being recognized!

If I had silver in my pocket, I would be the old man. I first found a public bathhouse, took a hot bath, and rubbed the mud thoroughly. After more than a month of hard work, and the lack of water on the way, everyone was so dirty.

When a few people came out, a pool of black mud was left behind. As for the young man in charge of scrubbing the bath, his arms were already twitching, and he stuck out his tongue!

However, the guy was not at a loss. The reward of six cents of silver was enough for him to earn a month ago. Therefore, he forced his tired body and smiled and sent Xue Yu and others out, and welcomed the old men to come again one by one!

Next, I had a beautiful breakfast, sesame cakes, fried dough sticks, buns, and duck blood vermicelli soup. After eating and drinking, I went to the best garment store in the city to choose the right clothes. Everyone was new inside and outside. Anyway, I spent money from the ancestors of the Li family, so I didn’t have to worry about it at all!

Wearing a square flat scarf on his head, a round-neck green satin brocade robe, a plain-colored long belt on his waist, a flower sachet next to it, cowhide square boots under his feet, and an ivory bracelet painted folding fan!

Xue Yu is already very good-looking, and after dressing up like this, she looks even more handsome and elegant. She is hungry for a long time, has malnutrition, is too thin, and has a good face!

The role I am going to play today is a young man from a family of officials. How can he look good with a look of bad looks? The flaws will be seen!

Fortunately, there is a fragrant powder shop next to it. Xue Yu bought some rouge powder for women, applied a thin layer on his face, and then applied red lips. Now it was perfect.

Anyone who sees it will give you a thumbs up and praise it. What a romantic young man with red lips and white teeth!

"Mouse, Baihua Snake, is the boss so handsome today?"

"Yes, the boss is the most handsome!"

"Haha, look at me, there are many young ladies around me pointing fingers, probably praising me for being handsome. You go over and listen to me and come back and tell me!"

"yes!"

Everyone has a love for beauty, and Xue Yu is no exception. He is lucky and has become a wanderer who travels through time. He is wearing rags and tied with a hemp rope on his waist for several months!

Now that I have changed into gorgeous clothes, I naturally have to enjoy it. There is a bronze mirror in the fragrant powder shop. Xue Yu looked at it for a long time and even put on a few positions that he thought was very handsome. It was so beautiful that it attracted the attention of pedestrians around me!

"Boss, I've found out clearly!"

"Oh, what did those little ladies say?"

"They said... they said... they didn't say anything!"

"What are you doing to hesitate? To be honest, I am not afraid of being praised by others!"

"Yes, they discussed, whose little hooligan is this? He ran to the women's store to be so pretty and even put on makeup. He is so shameless!"

"Puff!--Go away!"

Now Xue Yu did not dare to be so beautiful. He covered his face with his sleeves and fled from the fragrant noodle shop in a panic, and then went straight to Qi County Government with everyone!

On the way, the identity of the group changed earth-shakingly, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the old hen turned into a duck.

Xue Yu is no longer a wandering child, but a young man named Qianhu, a young man named Li, gave him a very cool name - Li Tanhua!

The four mice, white flower snakes, monkeys, and big blacks became the young master's accompanying Xiao Si.

Hu Dachui became the young master’s personal bodyguard!

As for Zhang Xiaoqi... or Zhang Xiaoqi, his identity cannot be changed!

In this way, the group of people came to Qi County-County Government Gate!

…………

The county government is located on East Street, covering an area of ​​seven or eight acres. It has a red painted gate, green painted door posts, black marble steps, and eight-character walls on both sides, which look very grand!

There were dozens of garrison officers and soldiers standing outside the gate, three groups and five gangs talking in a low voice, everyone was anxious, and there were many empty ox carts parked next to them. It seemed that they were all here to collect grain. As a well-known grain-producing area, Qi County is one of the important supply points in this immigration route!

More than a dozen other soap-coat yamen runners, led by a squad leader, held a ruthless stick in the county yamen, and firmly blocked them!

"Daming Mansion, Team 123, A, has entered!"

"Zhending Mansion, Team 68, C, has entered!"

...

Every time the head of the squad shouted, an officer would rush in. As for whether he could get the food, it depends on whether he understood the rules and whether his pocket was rich.

Xue Yu was unwilling to queue up slowly, which would delay time and lose his identity. So he took out a piece of silver, which weighed about two taels, and quietly handed it to the mouse, signaling him to send it to the guardian team!

"Hejian Mansion, Team 238 of C is in!"

Money may not be able to understand the gods, but it is still okay to get in a team. After hearing the shouts, Xue Yu stepped into the yamen gate, and Zhang Zongqi followed closely behind. Yuzhe could only wait outside the gate!

After traveling through time, this was the first time Xue Yu entered the county government office, so he walked very slowly and looked around with curious eyes. This was an authentic Ming Dynasty building!

Behind the gate is the Yi Gate, and on the east side is a Xiao Cao Temple, which was built to commemorate the famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiao He and Cao Shen. The Ming Dynasty’s Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang attached importance to the administration of officials and asked officials to learn the governing strategies of Xiao and Cao, so a Xiao Cao Temple was built in all yamen!

On the corridor inside the Yimen Gate, there is a stone tablet more than half a person tall, with the three words "Praise for the Ming Dynasty" written on the front and the back of the words "Your salary and your salary are the people, the people are rich; the people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to deceive"!

These four lines of poetry come from "Official Orders" written by Meng Chang, the ruler of Later Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty simplified the rules and simplified them, and took out the four sentences of "Your salary and your salary, the people are rich, the people are easy to abuse, and the people are hard to deceive", and issued them to all prefectures and counties in the world. The imperial edict was established in front of the lobby of the government office to warn officials of all sizes to do their jobs impartially and to serve the people, and never let them eat fish and meat. In the later Yuan and Ming dynasties, this provision was retained!

Unfortunately, officials from all over the world can see this stone tablet every day, but how many people are doing it?

It is more about relying on power and trying hard to extract wealth and ointment from the people, but never considering what consequences will be caused by forcing the people to a dead end!

Then there is the lobby of the county government office, with officials, households, and rituals on the east side, and soldiers, punishments, and engineering departments on the west side, collectively known as the Six Departments of the Yamen, which were established in imitation of the six departments of the court!

"Xue Xiao... Cough cough, Master Li, Master Li is in the doorman of the Hu Department. This guy is cunning and is more cunning than a monkey when he sticks to hair. Be careful!"

"Haha, don't worry, as long as we follow the plan, we will definitely take him this time!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Xue Yu smirked twice, then changed into a gentle and harmless expression, and stepped into the concierge of the Hukou Department. Zhang Xiaoqi followed closely behind and followed!

The household department is quite large, with more than a dozen young officials in green who are sitting, either dialing abacus, checking account books, holding a brush and writing official documents, all of which are very busy!

There is another middle-aged man in black clothes. He has no flesh on his face, his cheeks are sunken and his cheekbones are protruding. He looks sour and mean at first glance!

This man sat upright on the Taishi chair, savoring fragrant tea while shaking paper fan. His two small eyes were squinting, looking extremely leisurely. Without asking, he knew that this person was Li Zhubu!

At the same time, Li Zhubu also found that two people came in. Zhang Xiaoqi knew him. He didn't have to care about a little officer in the garrison with developed limbs and simple minds. But who was the other young man?

"Uh-huh!"

Li Zhubu has been in the yamen for many years and has dealt with all kinds of people all day long. He is very good at identifying people. Just a little look, he will know that the person who comes is not ordinary people!

He has a handsome figure and extraordinary temperament. Judging from his outfit, he is definitely either rich or noble!

More importantly, the young man walked in front, Zhang Xiaoqi followed behind, and bent slightly, indicating that the two had a huge difference in identity!

The small flag officer is at least a seventh-rank military officer. A person who can make him so respectful must not be in the community. Therefore, Li Zhuan stood up and bowed slightly: "Who is the young master? What's the point of doing when you come to our county government?"

"Hejian Mansion Tongsheng - Li Tanhua, I'm here to pay homage to the chief clerk!" Xue Yu bowed with his fists, took out another greeting post, and handed it over respectfully!

Visiting posts, also known as visiting posts, are an indispensable communication tool. They need to write down your position, origin, education, name, and the situation of your parents and ancestors!

In this way, when the other party sees the prayer, you will know your origin and history, so that you can receive it with the corresponding etiquette. Those who are qualified to use the prayer will either be rich or noble!

Today, Xue Yu not only came to collect food, but also had even bigger plans, so he spent twenty cents to ask the fortune teller on the street to write this prayer post. As for the contents in it, there was no truth!

Hejian Zhongwei - the fourth son of Li Qianhu... Li Tanhua, sixteen years old, Tong Sheng!

"It turns out that Mr. Li is here, and he is in a bad mood. I'll forgive me for your crimes. I'll ask you to sit in the middle and have someone to come and have a tea!"

It was true that the Ming Dynasty emphasized culture and over military affairs, and it was true that the vassal army was corrupt and corrupt, but the dignified Qianhu was a fifth-rank official after all, and was much nobler than a county magistrate!

Seeing that his father respected his son, Li Zhuan did not dare to lose his courtesy. He quickly invited Xue Yu into the inner room and asked the servants to serve two cups of new tea and some snacks. The hospitality was quite thoughtful!

At the same time, he secretly speculated that the fourth son of the Qianhu family would not stay in Hejian Mansion and would do what he would do when he ran all the way to Qi County?

I went to Qixian County with a small banner official and found myself specifically.
Chapter completed!
