The experience of the government is also known as the "Public Affairs Department". It is usually a seventh-rank official. Occasionally, some are not appointed as miscellaneous officials. They do have a certain say in the government office. However, when Ye Xiaotian asked Teacher Li for help, Teacher Li did not mention his son-in-law at all. Obviously, the energy of this Li experience is actually very limited.

He had his own social relationships to take care of, and his father-in-law's school needed help, so it was no longer possible to take care of others, otherwise Teacher Li would not be reluctant to recommend it. Therefore, Ye Xiaotian would feel regretful when he accidentally discovered that Li had an affair with someone else.

It would be great if Li Jing changed his identities with the man in white robe. At that time, wouldn’t it be a big handle that was controlled by Ye Xiaotian? Ye Xiaotian threatened this secret, and would he be afraid that Li Jing would not leave others, even if he was his father-in-law, and would he speak for Ye Xiaotian with all his strength?

Unfortunately, Li Jing was not a lover, but the one who was cuckolded. Why did Ye Xiaotian tell him? Did he run to tell him: "Brother Li, Mrs. Zun has committed adultery with others, so I will be mourning and obedient to change!" In exchange for the angry Li Jing to help him get relief funds?

I'm afraid no one is willing to accept this kind of favor. Besides, Teacher Li has been kind to him. If he exposes such a scandal, wouldn't it embarrassing Teacher Li?

Ye Xiaotian rushed to the Great Bear Temple with regret and found the monk of Zhike. He proposed to rent a courtyard here. It only took about ten days. At the same time, he offered a ingot of silver as incense and oil. The monk of Zhike stood up on his chest with his white beard floating, and his treasure solemnly refused: "Amitabha, it is probably inappropriate for Shi to live in the temple. Monks jumped out of the three realms and were not in the five elements. Although this temple was built in the city, it also penetrated into the sutras. Break the world, get rid of the world, be pure and free of worries..."

Ye Xiaotian took out two more ingots of silver and put them in his other hand. The monk immediately changed his words, "But I am merciful, I will come again as my wish, and sail back to the mercy and open the door of convenience. How can I not give the donor this convenience? Please follow me!"

Ye Xiaotian and his party were placed in a quiet and elegant monk's house, some courtyards with red walls and black tiles and a wide courtyard. After Ye Xiaotian moved in, he asked someone to burn hot water to take a shower. He then changed into a light soft robe and went for a walk in the yard.

While walking, Ye Xiaotian thought to himself: Teacher Li can't borrow any more power. When I meet the prefect tomorrow, I will only be able to deal with the moves. However, from what I learned from Teacher Li, the amount of relief this time is probably much lower than expected. Once the relief funds are too small, the distribution is improper, and it will cause public grievances, what should I do?

Ye Xiaotian thought about it but couldn't figure it out. After walking around the courtyard for a few times, he felt more and more depressed. He stepped out of the gate and walked towards the front hall. As soon as Ye Xiaotian left, two guards immediately followed him and followed him closely.

This Dafeng Temple is very famous in Tongren City. Its incense is also very popular, especially during the New Year Festival, there are many believers in burning incense in the temple. Ye Xiaotian has no belief in Buddhism, not to mention that he is now a venerable serving the Gu God, and he did not burn incense for the Buddha in front of his subordinates, so he just wandered around and enjoyed sightseeing.

A huge copper tripod was placed on the steps in front of the Main Hall. The high incense in the tripod burned the smoke, and most of the fragrance was inferior tobacco. The smell was a bit choking. Before Ye Xiaotian could not help but cough a few times. He waved his sleeves and rolled away the smoke that floated toward him. He was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly glanced at someone from the corner of his eyes.

Ye Xiaotian had already turned around and stopped turning back again. Dingqing looked at him and his eyes suddenly lit up. When he turned around, he glanced at someone among the pilgrims. He thought he was dazzled, but when Dingqing looked at him, it turned out that it was the man in white robe he had seen at the intersection of Qingping Street today.

The man in white robe was climbing up the steps, smiling. Next to him was a pretty woman in her 20-year-old man wearing a pair of magnolia green satin dresses, a long skirt of vine green rosy Luo Mizi, and a delicate silver hairpin inlaid with pearls on her head. She had a white and red face, which looked quite charming.

Behind the little woman was a little maid wearing a green satin jacket and skirt, which looked very neat. The woman was two feet away from the white robe, and seemed to be a fellow traveler, and it seemed that she was just walking into the temple together, which was difficult to tell.

At this time, the smoke from the copper cauldron and the incense burner floated over with the wind. The man in white robe immediately raised his hand and waved his sleeves at the cigarette. However, if he looked carefully, he would find that the smoke in front of him had not brushed away a little, but it wiped the smoke in front of the pretty woman cleanly.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but feel moved. Seeing them walking into the Main Hall, they hurriedly followed. The Tathagata Buddha sat upright in the Main Hall, and many pilgrims worshipped him. The pretty woman went to the desk to get a letter of incense. Ye Xiaotian stood in the corner of the side wing and stared at him. Then he saw the man in white robe also stepped forward to get the incense. He took the opportunity to touch the woman's white and tender little hand, which gave her a coquettish look.

Ye Xiaotian immediately felt confident that these two people must have come together, and they are definitely not husband and wife. If they are used to being together day and night, why should they get a little cheaper at this time? They saw the two ignited the incense on the candlelight, bowed three times and inserted it into the incense burner, took a few steps back, and knelt down on the cushion.

The pretty woman bowed and worshiped her with a very pious expression. The man in the white robe would not be the case. His futon was one position behind the woman. When the little woman worshiped, she knelt behind her. Taking advantage of the opportunity to bow, she quietly reached out and secretly pinched her red satin shoes. The little woman's delicate body trembled, and she quickly shrank her legs and hid the embroidered shoes under her skirt.

Ye Xiaotian watched coldly, and was so awesome. What a pair of dogs! In "Jin Ping Mei" written by Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, the scene of Ximen Daguan picking Pan Jinlian with favors must be his experience. How familiar is this scene in front of him.

In Ye Xiaotian's eyes, the man in white robe turned into a Ximen official at this time. The handsome little woman who was respectful to the Buddha but even blushed with her ears was obviously the little lady of Pan. Who is Wu Da? The old face of Li Jing slowly appeared in front of Ye Xiaotian: her cheeks have horizontal flesh, and her mouth is as broad as a clam...

The little woman bowed a few times, and prayed with her hands together and muttered her words. Then she got up and stuffed incense and oil into the merit box. The man in the white robe stood up and followed. The little woman seemed to be annoyed at the teasing of her just now. Taking advantage of the moment when the monk Heshi was thanking her, she gently lifted her skirt and stepped on the white robe boots. She slowly rolled and looked very playful. The man in the white robe smiled and put the money in the merit box, as if she had not realized it at all.

"This guy is so awesome!"

Ye Xiaotian could see clearly, and admire the man in white robe. This morning, he was flirting with Teacher Li's daughter, and in the afternoon he changed another woman. Judging from the style of the woman's hair bun, she was obviously a woman, even though she was a great official, Ximen Daguanren was not so powerful.

Seeing that the two of them bowed to Buddha and incense and retreated from the hall, Ye Xiaotian did not follow him, but called a guard and whispered: "Go, be careful to stare at the man and woman. If they separate, just stare at the man and wait for an opportunity to find out his identity!"

The guard followed the order and left. Ye Xiaotian wandered around for a while, then returned to the yard where he rented. After half an hour, the guard came back in a bad mood, bowed his head and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Honor, my subordinates have chased the person."

Ye Xiaotian originally thought that this person might be an official in Tongren Mansion, and might be useful, but the New Year just passed. Some official duties were piled up in the yamen. It was a busy time. This person was so leisurely. However, he might not be an official. Maybe he was a child of an official family who did nothing to do so.

Therefore, after hearing the guard's reply, he said in vain: "If you lose it, just throw it away. We are not familiar with the place in Tongren Mansion. It is not easy to find him."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next morning, Ye Xiaotian changed into a moon-white brocade robe. He tied his hair into a bun, inserted a hairpin with mutton fat jade, and put a pair of green satin and black leather boots under his feet, and left the temple.

Although his outfit is expensive, it does not look ostentatious. After several years of experience, Ye Xiaotian is now less childish than when he left the capital, more calm. His handsome appearance, calm momentum, and decent clothes have cultivated some prestige.

Today is the day to meet the magistrate, and during the New Year, it is also the time to wear bright and decent outfits. Ye Xiaotian rushed to the prefect's office with the famous sect and threw it in. After a while, someone came to lead him into the prefect's office.

This prefect's office is the original chieftain's mansion of the chieftain of Tixi. It is in the shape of a back-shaped character, which is very different from an ordinary official residence. Ye Xiaotian was led to the second courtyard, crossed a courtyard, and entered a spacious hall with a width of three rooms and a depth of five rooms.

Don’t tell me that you are walking early, and there are even pedestrians. As soon as Ye Xiaotian entered the living room, he found that many guests had already sat there, and there were familiar people whispering to each other. There was a buzzing sound in the hall. When he saw Ye Xiaotian coming in, everyone stopped and looked at him one after another.

Ye Xiaotian saw that some of these people were wearing regular clothes, some were wearing official robes, and some were dressed in natives, and they were all different. But what is certain is that these people were all local officials from all over the country and came to Tongren Mansion to compete for relief funds. These are all competitors!

Ye Xiaotian thought to himself, but his face was smiling. He bowed to everyone, saw an empty seat, and walked over to sit down. The hall was quiet for a moment, and the buzzing sound came out again, and everyone whispered again. Ye Xiaotian sat on his left hand, wearing a navy indigenous robe, with a cloth woven head wrapped around his head, and a short knife hung around his waist, as if the toast master came out of a village.

Seeing Ye Xiaotian sitting beside him, the man hugged Ye Xiaotian and asked, "This little brother is very handsome and dared not ask for his name."

Ye Xiaotian bowed and said, "My brother, Ye Xiaotian, the magistrate of Huxian County, who is this kind of brother?"

"Oh!" The toast master smiled, turned his head lightly, and ignored him. Ye Xiaotian still arched his hands on his chest, thinking for no reason: "What's wrong with this person? I don't know him. It's impossible for him to offend him, right?"

At this time, a person on the other side said to the chieftain master beside him: "Brother Hong Dong, I heard that your Dawanshansi plans to ask the prefect for 10% of the relief funds this time, above the last year's case?"

Dawanshansi?

Ye Xiaotian suddenly realized that no wonder this chieftain was hostile to him. It turned out that he was from Dawanshansi.

Hong Dong, wearing a dark blue robe, said sarcastically: "Yes! The amount allocated by the court every year is extremely limited. My Dawanshansi also wants to share the worries of the prefect and do not want to fight with his colleagues. However, the tiger's lockdown was a little bit wrong, which caused a huge reduction in taxes in our county, so he had to reach out to the prefect."

The old man in gray cotton robe opposite said, "I have heard of your Dawanshansi. You just reduced your taxes last year, but our Urossi is different. It is located in a remote place and cannot rely on the heaven or the earth, so I have to ask for relief every year."

The man sitting on his left heard this and immediately said, "You Urosi border with Sizhou Prefecture. There are some commercial tax revenues. We flat-headed Kesi rely on every day to respond, but it is not effective. I, the toast master, can only eat a meal of fragrant pork in two days."

"Forget it, Tashi Tusi, are you embarrassed to eat a meal of meat in two days? Our Yimeidongsi suffered a drought last year and had no harvest. That's really embarrassing. Look at me, today I met the magistrate. I should have dressed properly to show respect, but look at my robe, this is my best robe, and I have put six patches on it."

"Agachier, can you stop garlic? You are so embarrassed to cry poor in front of me Shiyedongsi? Ours is located in the deep mountains and does not even grow crops. We eat grass and trees, meat from birds and beasts, and occasionally get mountain delicacies and sell some money. I'm poor! My copycat has now been changed to two meals a day."

For a time, all the magistrates, chief officials, and chieftains joined the ranks of poorer people. The more they talked, the more miserable they became. The listeners were really sad and the listeners burst into tears. If they hadn't known their identities and only listened to them, they would have thought that a group of beggars set up a dragon gate formation in the ruined temple.

Ye Xiaotian listened to them and looked at his brocade robe, jade belt, red shoes and light fur, and felt deeply ashamed. When he came to Tongren, he was racking his brains to ask for relief funds, but when he heard the miserable appearances of these local emperors, he wanted to spend all his money to help them.

At this time, a long laugh outside the hall, and someone said loudly: "Sir, every day, you all come to the prefectural office to cry for poverty. If this continues, I think this day can be determined as the "Crying Poverty Festival" of my Tongren Mansion, hahaha..."

With the hearty laughter, a slender thirty-year-old man walked in casually, wearing a black gauze hat, an indigo blue ball-collared shirt, a plain silver strap on his waist, and a pair of purple mandarin ducks embroidered on the patch on his chest. Ye Xiaotian was stunned and said, "Oh! Isn't this the 'Ximen Grand Official'?"

:It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket and recommend it!
