The ancient town of Fenghuang has beautiful mountains and waterfalls.
The green hillside is full of wooden buildings on stilts, and the city wall made of red sandstone stands on the banks of the Tuojiang River, and the clear water in half of the river is pink. The river water is crystal clear, the current is slow and gentle, and there are green aquatic plants swaying in the soft waves. Hua Qingfeng sits on the bow of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides, feeling relaxed and happy for a while.
The old boatman was holding his trouser legs, his bare bronze legs, and gently swung his oars. The boat sailed lightly across the water. There was a woman making clothes on the shore. When she looked up and saw the old boatman she knew well at the stern, she greeted him with a smile. Saying hello, the old boatman showed a gentle smile on his rusty face.
The curtain of the cabin was lifted, and Su Ya came out of the cabin with a baby in her arms. Ziyu, who had just given birth, was supported by a little maid, and she was by her side, with a happy expression on her face. Sitting on the bow of the boat, Hua Qingfeng turned her head and saw them, so she rushed up to meet them, took the little swaddle from Su Ya's hand, and smiled contentedly seeing his flesh and blood sleeping sweetly in the swaddle.
The imperial imperial edict has been issued, and Hua Qingfeng contracted an illness on duty, and was promoted by half a rank. She lived idle as a sixth-rank official, and went home to recuperate. As for whether he can make a comeback, it depends on the opportunity and whether he is willing to seize the opportunity. Even if he has no chance to come back, he can still enjoy all the privileges of an official.
This is on the way back home. The ancient city of Fenghuang has beautiful scenery. Hua Qingfeng fell in love with it at the first sight, so she stayed here for two days with her wife, concubine and family. Now Hua Qingfeng really has a little bit of "you have a child and everything is enough" " mentality.
As for Huxian County, Master Bai has been rectified on the spot, and his daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law since childhood, and has become the Seventh Grade Official Seal of Huxian County. He was originally a seventh-rank official, so it wasn't considered a promotion, but he was dismissed after all, which was a good step.
Ye Xiaotian also received a transfer order to go to Tongren to take up the post. As for the new county magistrate, master book, Dian Shi, and post magistrate, they all need to be appointed by the imperial court. Now the four officials are still on the way and cannot be appointed in time. With the sudden change of four main officials, Hu County's political arena has undergone a major shake-up.
When Yang Yinglong learned that Ye Xiaotian was indeed transferred to Tongren, he was very annoyed, but at this point, he had no choice but to order someone to go to Tongren and explain to Yu Junting that although the Tian family did not accept Zhang Duo's invitation to mediate, they would definitely He started to pay attention to Tongren, so right now he has to stop his efforts and let Yu Junting do things cheaply.
At the end of the secret letter, Yang Yinglong specially warned: "Ye Xiaotian doesn't follow the rules, he likes to provoke disputes, just leave him in Tongren, don't provoke him!"
After Yu Junting finished reading Yang Yinglong's letter, his pretty eyebrows furrowed lightly: "It's really strange, Yang Tianwang, who always has his eyes high above his head, actually cares about a small magistrate?"
Wen Ao asked: "Are you talking about Ye Xiaotian?"
Yu Junting nodded, his eyes flashed. People who can be cared about by Yang Tianwang must not be ordinary people, but as far as she knows, this Ye Xiaotian just got a shit luck, and the Xia family helped him to win a fame, and became a small official in Hu County. He has no background and no backer. Why does such a person with a big heart pay so much attention to him
"There must be something wrong with this person!"
Yu Junting thought, curiosity was like a fish taking the bait, and she picked it up high. Yang Yinglong originally wanted to tell her to prevent her from causing trouble, but he didn't want to arouse Yu Junting's curiosity because of his words...

Rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, as if sprinkled with gold, shining brightly. The fragrance of flowers permeated the sky and the earth, and bees and butterflies lingered among the flowers. Under the guard of dozens of horses, four light carts rolled over the golden land and marched forward with the fragrance of flowers.
Ye Xiaotian was sitting in the front car, shaking his body slightly, looking into the distance, the outline of a majestic city gradually appeared in the distance. Standing in the hinterland of Wuling, facing the southwest of the barrier, looking at Sichuan and Hunan, this is the ancient city of Tongren!
Ye Xiaotian was transferred to Tongren this time, except for the female family members, Yelao, Hua Yunfei, Mao Wenzhi, and Li Qiuchi, he only brought Su Xuntian with him. When Hua Qingfeng returned to his hometown, Su Xuntian didn't want to stay in Hu County anymore, so he followed him to Tongren.
Su Xuntian is an official, so the transfer of officials is much easier. In fact, when local officials are transferred, they often take away all the officials he is used to, and when new officials take office, they will also use him brought by the officials. But Ye Xiaotian has just arrived here, so it's not easy to bring too many people at once, so as not to make it difficult to arrange.
Seeing that they were about to reach the gate of the city, they saw a colorful shed in front of the city gate. There were gongs and drums on both sides of the color shed. Many gentry and common people crowded under the shed. Seeing this posture, Su Xuntian couldn't help being surprised and said: "There are so many gentry and common people out of the city to welcome them. I didn't expect that Your Excellency has such a great reputation in Tongren Mansion."
Ye Xiaotian was also very surprised, and a little vanity inevitably rose in his heart. He said with emotion: "So, what is the public opinion, this is the public opinion! The public opinion is a mirror. The common people know it well, the hearts of the people cannot be deceived, and the hearts of the people are the most difficult to deceive!"
Su Xuntian said: "Your Excellency said so!"
The light cart drove to the front of the color shed, the coachman reined in the horse and stopped the cart. Ye Xiaotian bent down with a smile, stepped out of the car, stood on the car, and bowed his hands to the gentry and common people under the colorful shed, and said loudly: "Father folks, gentlemen and common people, Ye Moucheng..."
Ye Xiaotian was about to deliver his inaugural speech when he heard an excited scream from the crowd: "The real Changfeng is here!"
The gentry and common people immediately became commotion, a round old member of staff, stretched out his hand to lift his robe, and ran away. Not to be outdone, everyone rushed to catch up, bypassed Ye Xiaotian's car one by one, and turned to a small path next to him .
Ye Xiaotian looked around in astonishment, and saw a group of people walking towards this side on the path, and in front of them were two rows of young Taoist priests as guides, each of them was wearing blue double-breasted Taoist robes, wearing a crescent crown on their heads, and a seven-star sword on their shoulders. Whisk in hand.
There is a sliding pole in the middle of the team, on which sits a middle-aged Taoist, wearing a hibiscus crown of the Qing Dynasty, and wearing a yellow robe with eight treasures, looking like a fairy. All the country gentry and common people went up to meet them, and they bowed down after a distance of more than ten zhang. Some called "real man", some called "immortal elder", they were extremely devout.
Ye Xiaotian stood on the car with his hands folded, opened his mouth, and said embarrassingly: "Cheng... I sincerely ask all the elders to make way!" There was no one under the pitiful canopy except for beating gongs and drums, and no one ever blocked him. On the way, Ye Xiaotian sat in the car with shameful eyebrows, waved and said, "Go to the city!"
A group of people entered the city in silence, Su Xuntian laughed dryly and said: "These foolish men and women like to be bewitched by magic sticks..."
Ye Xiaotian shouted embarrassingly: "Enough!"
Su Xuntian touched his nose and stopped talking. Li Qiuchi rode his horse and approached, and suddenly said: "Students know a little about the figures in both monk and Taoist circles in Tongren. As far as the students know, among the high-level Taoists in Tongren, there is only one Changchun temple master with deep moral prestige.
However, the old temple master is over ninety years old, and he doesn't leave the Taoist temple easily. He even doesn't see a pilgrim for a long time. Presumably he is a Taoist priest who has recently come from elsewhere, but he already has so many believers, which is amazing. "
Ye Xiaotian said sourly: "Monks who come from afar are good at chanting scriptures, and so are Taoists who come from afar. I am an official, and others are people who serve gods. There is no comparison."
More than 30 miles east of Tongren City, there is a Liulong Mountain. There is a Qixuan Temple on the mountain. In front of the view is the Jinjiang River with blue waves. Abundant, the Taoist temple is placed here, and there is an innate feeling of being extraordinary and free from vulgarity.
At this time, in the inner meditation room, there was an old Taoist in green robes sitting cross-legged in meditation, judging by his appearance, it was Wang Ning who was the master book in Hu County. Opposite him, sat an old man dressed as an outsider, who was obviously Hong Baichuan. Hong Baichuan frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to find Chen Chen out of the mountain? Where did you find this magic stick?"
Wang Ning sighed and said: "Chen Chen has been a Taoist priest for more than ten years. It seems that it is true but he is destined to be a monk. I can say that he just refuses to come out of the mountain. Hey! Chen Chen has already limped a leg for the court. , he has no intention of doing this, and I can't bear to drag him into the water."
Hong Baichuan was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Everyone has his own ambition, that's all. It's just that the so-called Changfeng Daoist has a too frivolous temperament. Where did you find it?"
Wang Ning smiled wryly and said, "What kind of Daoist is he, he is a prisoner I fished out from the prison in Jinling Mansion!"
Hong Baichuan was startled, and asked in surprise, "Prisoner?"
Wang Ning said: "That's right. This person studied Taoism in Maoshan when he was young. In fact, he was a Taoist boy. He read a few chapters of the Taoist collection with his master and also learned some illusions. Later, he left the mountain gate and bluffed in the rivers and lakes. Said that he really cheated a lot of rich and wealthy families.
It's a pity that this kid later deceived a rich gentleman who was devoutly devoted to him and sent his daughter to him for double cultivation. He fell in love with this woman and was so stupid as to tell her the truth, but was reported by the woman and jailed. prison. I thought he was a good guy, so I fished him out. "
Hong Baichuan smiled wryly and said: "I don't think this humane name should be called Changfeng, but Feng. This person really likes to show off and show off too much!"
Wang Ning said with a smile: "What does it matter? If he doesn't like to be in the limelight, how could he attract a large number of believers so quickly? I have found out that the female chieftain of Tongren Yu's family also believes in Taoism. Changfeng is famous and talented. Lure her into the trap."
Hong Baichuan frowned and said: "But he is not one of us after all, such a frivolous temperament, what a great responsibility."
Wang Ning said: "Brother, don't worry, the little boys Qingfeng and Mingyue beside him are all my people. The only job is to keep an eye on him. If there is anything wrong, he can be put to death immediately. Moreover, he is very serious about our affairs." Knowledge is extremely limited.”
Hong Baichuan heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Forget it, you are responsible for this matter, I just want to remind you. Besides, Ye Xiaotian has already transferred Tongren. This boy is a good boy, but he always spoils us. Good thing, you should be careful!"
