Chapter 511 The visitor is not good

The entire team consists of about fifty yamen runners and a brand new and luxurious carriage. It is vast and surprisingly eye-catching and surprisingly grand on the street. (《》, watch the latest update of this book)

Passers-by made way out on both sides of the street, and the vendors on both sides carefully dragged the stall backwards. In a panic, a young woman with a jewel in the carriage was glittering with golden light, bright light and jade light.

Next to the young woman was a middle-aged man in his early forties, thin body, with a tuft of goatee hanging on his chin, and wearing a brocade robe. Like the young woman, the middle-aged man was also lifting the curtain to check the situation outside, but his attention was very different.

The young woman was embarrassed by the pedestrians and vendors, and she enjoyed the respect of the stars holding the moon and giving way to the Tao wherever she passed. Although the middle-aged man was also enjoying the feeling of oppression, his attention was more focused in the shops on both sides.

If these two people have a little judgment, they can guess that one is Zhang Juquan, the prefect of Tailiang Prefecture, and the other is very likely to be a favored concubine.

"stop!"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man raised his arm and shouted majestic. The coachman cooperated to tie the reins and neighed, and the carriage stopped. The head-in-chief raised his arm at the same time, and the vast yamen runners also stopped.

In the center of the yamen runners, a white-clean man wearing an official uniform and riding a small dark horse and bloated body quickly turned over and got off the horse carefully. The little dark horse under his crotch made a comfortable neigh, and his body, which was pressed down, finally stood up a lot.

"Sir, you are..." The middle-aged man with a bloated body laughed. If he looked at it from the outside, this person had the image of a corrupt official, but he was more powerful and majestic, giving people the feeling of being a capable official.

However, this middle-aged man who was bloated and did not dare to ride a tall horse was one of the few capable officials and honest officials in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Juequan's greed and incompetent ranks as a name among the thousands of prefects in the Han Dynasty.

"Mr. Hu, is this an inn?" Zhang Yuquan's eyes moved to Linji Inn, which was a little behind.

"Yes, it's an inn. Unfortunately, the business is not good, and the shopkeeper has already planned to close the business." Hu Changyong nodded constantly, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said with a bitter face: "Sir, the weather is stuffy. As far as the officials see, we should meet the county government as soon as possible?"

"Not busy, this inn seems to be quite large, even in the city, not often, so why is the business bad?" Zhang Yuquan said lightly.&*.

"The Master of Futai doesn't know that the shopkeeper of this inn does not know how to operate. He was originally an inn, but he insisted on treating diners as the main customers. However, the chef's skills are not good, and the guy's attitude is also lazy, which leads to the increasingly deserted business and eventually he has to close down."

While wiping sweat, Hu Changyong explained that the sweat beads that could not be wiped clean on his forehead was a big reason for the heat, but the bigger reason was that Zhang Juquan was selected by Linji Inn.

Hu Changyong knew that this Linji Inn had given him a few months ago. According to his habit, the silver should be confiscated. However, he ordered the yamen runners to investigate and found that the chefs who were recruiting in advance were not low, and the amount of chefs were recruited was also large. Moreover, they used high-quality wood when building the inn. Not only did they not disturb the people during the process, but they often helped beggars nearby. They were a serious inn, so they returned the money.

Because he sent someone to check Linji Inn, Hu Changyong knew about Linji Inn. Although he had tried to give money to the government and businessmen to collude with him, he was a habit of a businessman when he arrived. The flaws did not cover up the merits, which did not affect his good feelings for Linji Inn. Half a month ago, he still didn't open the business because Linji Inn paid the salary of the chef every month, but he never opened it. He sent someone to ask, and learned that Linji Inn was just a branch and the main store needed to plan the opening matters before he could feel at ease. Such a large inn and his style during the construction process was not bad, Hu Changyong did not want Linji Inn to lose money because of poor management.

This time, he received news that Zhang Yuquan was going to Chengfeng County to inspect again. Given Zhang Yuquan's attitude last time, Hu Changyong had to send a yamen runner to inform Lin Ji Inn to open it for one or two days. There was no way, Lin Ji Inn was too large, and once Zhang Yuquan discovered it, he might be furious at him with this as an excuse. He understood that Zhang Yuquan was already very dissatisfied with his discoital cooperation. If Zhang Yuquan had not had the right to dismiss him, he would have been dismissed long ago. If Zhang Yuquan really angered Zhang Yuquan again, it would be difficult for Zhang Yuquan to go to the county city to make trouble for him.

What Hu Changyong did not expect was that Zhang Yuquan was really focused on Linji Inn. If Linji Inn had any major losses, it would be like he was suffering for him. Although Hu Changyong's courage was not worthy of the word "Yang" in his name, he did not want to see anyone suffering such a thing for him.

"I don't know how to manage it? But how did I see that other stores are extremely depressed?"

Hu Changyong was actually not wrong, and Zhang Yuquan was extremely dissatisfied with him. If you have money, everyone will make money together. Being an official is not a good fortune. Going home to sell sweet potatoes sooner or later. If you want to go home to sell sweet potatoes in the future, you can't block other people's way of wealth. Moreover, it is still the way of wealth of your boss.

Such a big hot commodity, I can only take a small bite once with a thick face, and it is harder to get one more time. Last time, I actually made a trick of empty streets in the city. This time it was even better, and it even made a trick of depression in the city.

Zhang Yuquan wished he could peel off Hu Changyong and get cramps, and then eat him raw. It would be fine for ordinary counties, but Chengfeng County was a huge hot commodity.

"The subordinate officials are not well-managed, so please forgive me." Hu Changyong had already thought of a countermeasure and immediately took the fault on himself. Poor governance would indeed lead to losing his post and dismissal, but at that time the term of office was over, and Zhang Jue was not the turn of all the matters determined by the Ministry of Personnel. What's more, just by relying on the taxes paid by Chengfeng County every year, he could not use the fault of poor governance.

"I'm afraid, it's not just that simple, right?"

Zhang Yuquan hummed coldly. He was tired of traveling to Chengfeng City every few months, especially hot and cold weather, which was not a good thing. What's more, a dignified prefect came to a county for money and couldn't bear to worry about his face.

Hu Changyong was nervous and his heart suddenly became up and down. He was not stupid. From Zhang Juquan's words, he felt like a disaster was coming.

After looking at Hu Changyong, who was silent, Zhang Yuquan smiled coldly. The tiger did not show his power. Do you really think that the fifth-rank mansion platform just sounds better than the seventh-rank county platform?

After lifting the curtain, Zhang Juequan walked off the carriage and said lightly: "Hong'er, have you tried the cooking skills of the city inn?"

"Not yet! The inn outside is living like a doghouse and eating like a pig's food. I just don't know how the inn is like in the city." Zhang Yuquan's sixth concubine Xin Yuehong held the curtain of the car and twisted her waist and walked down. A handkerchief with the fragrance of pollen kept blowing the wind. No one would rather go to the inn for lunch, but he did not dare to disobey Zhang Yuquan. Although she was favored, Zhang Yuquan's official power was very strong, and he was like this outside and at home.

With a group of yamen runners clearing the way, Zhang Yu took Xin Yuehong to Linji Inn.

The headmaster of the county government who came with him saw Hu Changyong still being stupid, and quickly stepped forward to remind him: "Sir, they have already entered."

Hu Changyong woke up from his fear of his future, quickly caught up with Zhang Juquan and said anxiously: "Sir, this inn is simple, and the officials have prepared wine and food in the county government. Should I go to the county government?"

Zhang Juquan ignored him and stepped into the threshold with one foot.

At the counter, Lin Dong had just set up the small vegetable garden, captain, wine cellar and other attributes one by one. When he got up, he saw Zhang Juquan stepping into the door.

Afterwards, the yamen runners brought by Zhang Yuquan from the government office immediately divided up and quickly swept towards the entire lobby under the leadership of the captain.

"Get up!"

"The Lord of the State Council is here, you guys, why don't you kneel down and greet me!"

The yamen runners waved the yamen sticks in their hands and drove up the only table of diners in a few seconds. Then they swept them all over, sweeping them all over, making a crisp and chaotic collision sound.

"It turns out that if there is a master, there will be some slaves." Jiang Wei snorted. He had contacted many yamen runners in Chengfeng County. Although he also made some extra money, even if he was a headmaster, he was not so arrogant.

"Bold, the Lord of the State Council is here, how dare you kneel?"

Seeing that no one of them knelt down on the ground as ordered, the yamen runners came forward with the yamen sticks. They raised the yamen sticks together and wanted to bend the legs of the people waiting.

"Okay, it's just a meal, there's no need to be too regular." Zhang Yuquan waved his hand. After so many times, he had already become accustomed to no one kneeling for him no matter which store he entered. Later, he established his authority with the magistrate Hu, who was respected by everyone in Chengfeng County, and these unruly people who were spoiled by Hu Changyong, naturally knelt down tremblingly.

"Sir, please forgive me. I am sorry. I am the one who is not strict in the rule of the subordinates. Please sit down..." Seeing that Hu Changyong could no longer stop him, he quickly wiped the bench with his sleeves a few times, asking Zhang Juquan to take his seat.

"This stool is so dirty." Xin Yuehong frowned and said with contempt, "This inn is quite big, don't have a private room?"

"Madam, forgive me, there are all guest rooms on it. Linji Inn is not doing well. I guess even spider webs are everywhere now. Thank you, forgive me." Hu Changyong hurriedly wiped Xin Yuehong's stool again, then turned his head to look at Jiang Wei, and said with a wink: "Shopkeeper Jiang, what are some of your wine and food?"

"There are knives for wine, braised radish, steamed cucumbers, braised vegetables in oil, and stir-fried chili with garlic." Seeing that Hu Changyong's eyes were almost blinking and could not see clearly, Jiang Wei had no choice but to cooperate.

"Didn't you order meat dishes?" Hu Changyong asked.

"No." Jiang Wei shook his head.

Hu Changyong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled bitterly and bypassed Zhang Juquan, looking at Xin Yuehong, saying, "How can such a poor wine and food be in the wife's belly? According to what the officials saw, let's go to the county government for meals, right?"

Xin Yuehong was about to nod, and Zhang Yuquan said lightly: "This time I came to Chengfeng County to understand the people's sentiments, and it is enough to have a simple meal."

Hu Changyong was worried and felt guilty towards Linji Inn, so he didn't dare to see Jiang Wei's expression.
