Chapter 482 Chapter 483 [Pretending to be a tiger and eating a pig]
Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue took a car to Yancheng. Along the way, they saw countless victims supporting the elderly and young and fleeing with their families.
Xiang Nan saw it in his eyes and was so moved by the scene that he couldn''t help but shed tears.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?These people just want to survive. Why is such a humble idea so difficult to realize?
"Mr. Ji, please stop crying, don''t break your body from crying." Du Xiaoyue comforted her.
Seeing Xiang Nan being so considerate of the people, she couldn''t help but be touched.
"Miss Xiaoyue, these corrupt officials have harmed the common people and the villagers, they really deserve death!" Xiang Nan wiped his tears and said, "I, Ji Xiaolan, swear that I will seek justice for them."
"Mr. Ji, I believe in you. You are a good official and a good person. You will definitely do it." Du Xiaoyue nodded and said with admiration.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue rushed to Yancheng.
Along the way, they ate together, drank together, and rode in the same car, and their relationship got better and better.
This day I came to Yancheng. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, their car was stopped.
A fat little official led his troops forward and said, "Stop, stop, search, search!"
As he said that, he lifted the car curtain and saw Du Xiaoyue sitting in the car, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Come on, take down these rebels who are against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!” The clerk immediately shouted, and the officers and soldiers behind him rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
"How presumptuous! Do you know who I am?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan immediately shouted.
"Who are you?" The petty official saw Xiang Nan sitting in the middle. He was not angry but spoke in the official dialect of the capital. He seemed to have a good background, so he couldn''t help but feel a little wary.
Xiang Nan immediately took out the big seal and flashed it in front of the clerk, "You haven''t taken me to see the prefect Liu Changfu yet!"
?The little official was startled when he saw the big seal in Xiang Nan''s hand.
? ?Official seals of the Qing Dynasty had different official ranks and different seal materials. Only those of the first, second and third grades are allowed to use silver seals. Most of the third to ninth ranks all use copper seals. As for the low-ranking officials below the ninth rank, they can only use wooden seals.
The large seal in Xiang Nan''s hand is made of silver. He is at least a third-rank official, not much higher than a ninth-rank official like him. He was so frightened that he shook his clothes and started sweating profusely!
“Why are you deaf?!” Xiang Nan scolded him again when he saw that he was not moving.
"Sir, spare your life, I will take you there right now!" The clerk was frightened and quickly guided Xiang Nan''s carriage straight to the prefect''s Yamen.
…
"Master Ji, you are really capable. You only flashed your big seal and scared the **** out of him." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"This is called tofu with brine, and one thing will be reduced." Xiang Nan smiled, and then reminded him. "Hey, by the way, Xiaoyue, from now on, don''t call me Mr. Ji. You must call me Mr. He, because I am pretending to be He Shen now."
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Du Xiaoyue quickly covered her mouth, “I’m sorry, Sir, I won’t call you by the wrong name next time.”
Xiang Nan nodded.
As he spoke, the carriage arrived at the prefect’s Yamen.
“My lord, please wait a moment, I’ll let you go in and report!” the clerk said with fear, and then climbed in three steps at a time to report.
After a while, the prefect Liu Changfu led his master and officials at all levels of the Yamen to greet him at the door.
“I, the lower official Liu Changfu, together with officials from all levels in Yancheng, are here to pay homage to Your Excellency. I didn’t know that Your Excellency was coming, so I missed the opportunity to greet you from afar. Please forgive me!” Liu Changfu led the crowd to kneel down in front of the car.
"No need, Mr. Liu, get up." Xiang Nan snorted coldly.
Liu Changfu got up quickly, then came to the front of the car and lifted the curtain himself, "Sir, please get out of the car." Xiang Nan immediately got out of the car with Xiaoyue.
Seeing that there was no horse stool prepared for the carriage, the clerk quickly lay down on the ground. "Sir, you step on me to get off~" he said with a flattering look on his face.
Xiang Nan was not polite to him and stepped on his back to get out of the car.
He weighed more than 100 kilograms, and he kicked his foot straight down without any restraint. He almost broke the clerk''s backbone, and the pain made his face change.
?Du Xiaoyue also stepped on his back and got out of the car. Naturally, she, Du Nuxia, would not be merciful to such a dog official.
…
After getting off the car, Xiang Nan glanced at everyone and said, "You''re still not leading the way!"
"Yes, sir, please!" Liu Changfu quickly led the way, leading Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue to the inner hall behind the government office.
“Sir, please take a seat!” Liu Changfu said respectfully.
Xiang Nan did his part and sat down with Du Xiaoyue.
"Do you all know me?" He looked around at everyone and asked coldly.
“The lower officials don’t know, and are just about to ask your Excellency for advice.” Liu Changfu said quickly and tremblingly.
"Hmph! Take it and see for yourself~" Xiang Nan passed the seal down and said.
??Liu Changfu took it respectfully, opened it and looked at it. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly led the officials to kneel down again, "Liu Changfu, the prefect of Yancheng, led the government officials to pay homage to Mr. Heshenhe!"
“Humph, you’re not blind at last.” Xiang Nan snorted coldly.
?The little official suddenly turned pale when he heard that Xiang Nan was the leader of He Shen and the Lord, and he almost fell to the ground. He is really too old to make trouble. He dares to say that Mr. He is a traitor. He is really a birthday boy who always eats arsenic and thinks that his life is too long!
“I didn’t know that Your Excellency He was coming here, and I missed the welcome. Please forgive me, Your Excellency!” Seeing Xiang Nan’s unkind tone, Liu Changfu was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly.
"That''s all. If you don''t know, don''t blame me. Just get up." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, sir." Liu Changfu stood up quickly and stood respectfully, not even daring to sit down.
"Speaking of which, although I have never met you, I have received your respect over the years." Xiang Nan added, "We are all our own people. Okay, everyone, sit down. "
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Changfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Xiang Nan said and hurriedly sat down.
"Do you know why I came to Yancheng incognito this time?" Xiang Nan asked again.
“The lower official is stupid.” Liu Changfu accused him.
"Hmph, I came here on the order of the emperor to investigate the case of Huang Keming and Mochou." Xiang Nan said coldly, then slammed the table, "You people are such wastes, you actually let them Going to Yunzhou really disappoints He."
"My lord, I forgive you. You don''t know something, but Huang Keming is a desperate guy..." Liu Changfu quickly defended himself.
“Nonsense, Huang Keming is a good person!” Du Xiaoyue on the side saw that he dared to slander Brother Huang and immediately spoke up for him.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he quickly winked at her and said, "Hey, everyone, this is my Mrs. Ru, Xiaoyue. Madam, we are talking about the rebel Huang Keming, not the official Wang Keming of the Criminal Department. You are in charge. "
“Oh, oh!” Du Xiaoyue knew that she had made a mistake and nodded quickly.
"Huang Keming handed over an account book to the emperor. It contains evidence that you embezzled the disaster relief funds." Xiang Nan looked at the crowd again and said.
“Has your Majesty seen the account book?” Liu Changfu broke into a cold sweat.
"Of course, Long Yan was furious, so he sent me to investigate." Xiang Nan nodded.
