On the way back to Jing'an Pavilion, Li Fan asked Xiao Liuzi to buy a roast chicken and a pot of wine.

Back at Jing'an Pavilion, Li Fan went straight to Hall No. 77 of Huangzi.

Compared with the museum size of the ground, the yellow size is much worse, and there is only one room for temporary residence.

It was already dark and Li Fan appeared outside the museum.

In the room, Guan Richu had just poured himself three big cans of water, and his stomach was rumbling. He was a little hungry, but he counted the money in his bag carefully and could only sigh. No matter what, he was hungry today.

When I came, I didn’t know that the rice in Xijing was expensive. According to Yizhou’s prices and expectations, although the money he brought would not make him live a good life, it was always enough to live a decent life. Who knew that most of the money had been spent along the way.

When he was hungry, he remembered the two little beggars today. He then sighed and said to himself: "Guan Richu, Guan Richu, I don't know how many people in this world live a life of displaced and hungry and cold. What can you do if you are hungry?

Can’t you handle this little bit of pain?”

"The people of Linzi County are still looking forward to you becoming a high-ranking official and seeking benefits for them!"

He vented himself, took a deep breath, and decided to force a sensation out of his mind, making him forget about hunger.

But at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door.

"who?"

Guan Richu asked in confusion.

"Li Fan, I'm visiting friends."

Li Fan's voice came.

Li Fan?

Why did he come? Guan Richu was very confused, but he still got up and opened the door.

"Why is the Censor coming?"

Guan Richu asked a question.

Li Fan smiled and said, "Come to find Brother Guan for a drink. Why? Don't you welcome me?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Richu hurriedly said, "Where is it, Lord Li, please!"

As he said that, he reached out to invite Li Fan to come in.

"Are you still used to living in Xijing?"

While Li Fan put the roast chicken and wine on the table, he glanced at the simple residence.

"Well enough."

Guan Richu spoke, and the fragrance of roast chicken in Li Fan's hand caused a surge in his throat.

"Brother Guan, Li took the liberty to disturb you. Please don't mind it. But I was quite impressed when I saw Brother Guan that day, and I was not afraid of the powerful."

Li Fan spoke, poured wine, opened the roast chicken, and said, "Please have all this cup!"

Seeing this, Guan Richu took the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Lord Li, for your kindness."

After saying that, I drank it all.

"You must have a meal when drinking, please use it!"

Li Fan reached out and tore off a chicken leg for Guan Richu, handed it to him, and then pulled off one of his wings himself and said with a smile: "This is Xijing's famous Xijing roast chicken, and it is the first time I have eaten it."

As he said that, he ate first.

Guan Richu was so hungry that he was a little embarrassed, but seeing Li Fan so casually and frankly, he also let go of his mind and started eating immediately. He ate a roast chicken when he was hungry. It was so delicious.

The two of them had a feast and soon they shared the whole chicken. Only then did Guan Richu feel hungry. Li Fan drank a few cups with him, and he also seemed to be free and no longer restrained.

"Oh," suddenly, Guan Richu sighed and said, "I should keep some of these delicious chickens. It's all my fault that I ate too fast and forgot."

Li Fan said: "Why?"

Guan Richu said: "To be honest with Brother Li, I met a pair of little beggars in the city today. They are so pitiful. I think they must have never eaten such delicious roast chicken."

Li Fan smiled and said, "Don't be ashamed of yourself, those two steamed buns are also delicious."

Upon hearing this, Guan Richu was stunned and looked at Li Fan.

Did Li Fan see that he gave the two little beggars steamed buns?

He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li is laughing at me."

Li Fan said: "Why are there any jokes? Brother Guan is sympathetic to the people, which is enough to make officials all over the world ashamed!"

"Not, not."

Guan Richu shook his head.

Li Fan smiled and said, "Brother Guan is humble. If he can come to Beijing to report his duties as a county magistrate, he will definitely do something in the future."

"Does Brother Guan have any plans to stay in Beijing this time?"

"I just want to go back to Linzi County."

Guan Richu shook his head and said, "Before I left, I promised to build two more schools for the children in Linzi County, and they are still waiting for me."

As he said this, a smile appeared in his eyes, as if he had remembered something.

He raised his eyes, looked at Li Fan, and said, "Brother Li, I actually admire you very much."

“When I was in Linzi County, I always felt that I was too incompetent.

I always want to do something for the people, but I always can’t do it and I’m hitting walls everywhere.”

"But you are different. You have walked a path in Yangzhou, and the people over there should be very happy."

He said from the bottom of his heart: "There is no use for scholars. I have a deep understanding. Now I just want to do more things for the children in the southwest. There are too few private schools in the southwest, and many students cannot study."

Li Fan was silent for a long time after hearing this, then patted his shoulder and said, "Sometimes, it's not that you are incompetent, but that the water in the world is too turbid."

"You are right. You have changed your children and given them knowledge and wisdom. Only in this world can there be hope for change."

"come on."

Li Fan is very serious.

Guan Richu smiled, laughing happily, and said, "Brother Li, you are the first person to not treat me as a lunatic."

...Time passes soon.

A carrier pigeon crossed the mountains and seas and flew from the distant southwest to Xijing.

Li Fan got a letter.

"Junrichu, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Linzi County five years ago.

Since his tenure, he has a great reputation.

This time, the governor of Yizhou recommended it."

Following closely behind, there were also a bunch of Guan Richu’s deeds.

Four years ago, I spoke for the people and fought for rent and interest reduction from the great clan. In winter, I sat in front of the great clan for three days and three nights without drinking or eating, and finally forced many great clans to take the initiative to reduce the reduction.

Three years ago, he was asked for bribes by the inspector of Zhili Prefecture, but he did not give a single money. He was slandered by the other party and thoroughly investigated. Nothing was found out. Since Guan Richu became an official, his family has been barely slandered and has never embezzled them at all. Even most of his salary was donated to the poor people in the county. Therefore, his integrity and kindness moved Jiang Xiao, the governor of Yizhou.

Two years ago, I was rushing to build a new school and went to Zhili Prefecture many times. The Governor's Office asked for money. I was regarded as a debt collector by the Yizhou officialdom, which was strange.

...This year, he was recommended to Beijing by Governor Jiang Xiao, Yizhou, to report his work.

Li Fan smiled after reading the contents of the letter.

Smiling so purely.

Because there are few such pure people in the world.

...And at this time, a carriage was parked in front of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ling Yuan was walking out of the carriage and handed over a famous post. Soon after, he was led in by people from the house.

In the hall, Ling Yuanzheng met the right prime minister Li Wen.

The narrative is over.

"Teacher, the student is supported by you and has been an official abroad for many years. Now that I am back, I only hope to serve the teacher one or two to repay the teacher's great kindness!"

Ling Yuanzheng spoke, and in his words, he clearly meant seeking an official position.

After seeing Li Fan, his pressure doubled and he felt that it was better to ask the teacher for help.

It is not difficult to have the right minister appearing, and the position of a minister of the Ministry of Justice.

But Li Wen put down the teacup and said lightly: "You have been outside for many years, and your political achievements are not bad. As for whether to stay in Beijing, the emperor will decide."

"You are working for the Lord, not for me."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuanzheng's face changed.

"Go and prepare your report."

Ling Yuanzheng had no choice but to get up, say goodbye and leave. When he left, his face was full of worries.

After he left for a long time, Li Wen said to himself: "The comet has risen, who can stop it?"

...The time for reporting work has finally arrived.

Today, officials from all over the country will start reporting their duties.

Most people report their duties to the Ministry of Personnel, and only a very small number of people are qualified to meet the saints! And those who report their duties have long attracted everyone's attention! Morning court.

When the bell rang, Li Fan and Zhao Nantang's carriage finally stopped outside the palace.

Li Fan got off the carriage and looked at the glorious palace city.

One step forward and he will step into the heart of this empire.
Chapter completed!
