Boom!
Boom!
…
The moment Mr. Xu said "the county government came forward", a sound of gongs suddenly sounded and reached the ears of Mr. Xu and Zuoqiu.
The sound of gongs was not close, but it quickly turned into a roar of gongs and drums.
Moreover, the loud sound of gongs and drums is getting closer and closer.
Mr. Xu and Zuoqiu stood up at the same time. This voice was very familiar.
The next moment, Zuoqiu trembled and said, "Brother Xu, we'll talk about this later. It's better to go and receive the order first!"
As an official after all, Zuoqiu immediately guessed what the noisy gongs and drums meant.
Come to think of it, Mr. Xu rejected the imperial edict last time. No matter how the matter was resolved in the end, there had to be an explanation. Calculating the time, this imperial edict came a little late.
But no matter how early or late the imperial edict comes, it will eventually come.
When the last imperial edict came, the imperial envoy who delivered it arrived at the county seat first and informed him, the county magistrate.
But this time, looking at this posture, it was clear that he was bypassing the county magistrate.
But one thing is certain, this time’s imperial edict is a good thing. Otherwise, there would be no such commotion at all.
Mr. Xu immediately followed Zuoqiu and led the family out of the yard.
As soon as the group reached the entrance of the alley, they saw Yan Jing striding towards them holding the imperial edict in his hand.
Then, of course, he received the order.
But this time, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Xu to refuse this imperial edict!
In the imperial edict, Dingbeihou was not mentioned.
However, Mr. Xu's biological mother, who died young, was granted the title of Mrs. Zhenyi of the first rank. Because she taught her son well, Mr. Xu was granted the title of Mr. Xiaoyi of the seventh rank.
Furthermore, even Mrs. Xu received the title of pardon from an eighth-grade lady.
Of course, there is also Fubao, who is still the head of Telfu Township.
"My lord, accept the order!"
"Thank you for your grace!"
This time, Mr. Xu happily accepted the imperial edict.
"Master Yan, it's been a hard journey!"
After receiving the imperial edict, Zuoqiu came close to Yan Jing and said, "I wonder if there is something wrong with my official. When you come, you don't send someone to say hello first."
"No no!"
Yan Jing was also quite embarrassed.
After all, according to the rules, although he is an imperial envoy carrying orders, and his official rank is far above that of the seventh-grade county magistrate, when he goes to a place to do business, he should say hello to the local officials due to circumstances and reasons.
"Master Zuo, please don't think too much. The main reason is that this edict was delayed for several days on the road, and then I passed Master Zuo and came directly here!"
"No problem, no problem, I'm just asking casually!"
Zuoqiu got the answer and had nothing else to say.
At this time, it was just after lunch, and Yan Jing came in a hurry with people from the Ministry of Etiquette. They were all hungry at this time. Mr. Xu simply led a group of people to Sanhe Town and hosted Yan Jing and his party at his restaurant.
Magistrate Zuoqiuzuo, who was already well fed, now had no choice but to bite the bullet as a guest. How could he be so polite while eating!
Fortunately, Yan Jing is not a particular person.
…
While Mr. Xu was greeting Yan Jing and his party for dinner, Zhao Bingyu in the inn opposite also got the news.
"Master, what do you think?"
"I'll lie down and watch!"
After hearing Zhao Rui's question, Zhao Bing replied angrily.
To be honest, Mr. Zhao Er is a little doubtful about life now.
He never dreamed that his nephew would not be punished for rejecting the imperial edict, but would actually receive greater benefits.
"Xiao Wu, let someone go check and find out what happened to that brat Yan Jing while he was back in Beijing!"
This kind of thing is completely beyond imagination, and the feeling of not being in control makes Zhao Bingxu feel very powerless. (End of chapter)
