Zhou Chun is indeed very different from the time he was wearing a delicately textured deep dress, a gauze hat, a good piece of mutton fat jade inlaid in the middle, a gold ribbon tied with a waist, a jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his cheeks were white and fat, looking quite like an official.

Zhou Chun's face turned red and he said a little embarrassedly: "If you don't want to, stop laughing at me."

"I didn't laugh at you, I just made a joke with you."

Li Yanqing sat down opposite him and asked with a smile: "Is there any news?"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but feel excited and nodded and said, "I got a notice from the Ministry of Personnel this morning that I was awarded the title of Tangyin County County Captain!"

Li Yanqing was a little surprised. He just made a suggestion, but it actually came true. The Gao family really has connections.

"Then congratulations to brother!"

"Where! Where! I will ask my brother to take care of you in the future."

"I should ask you for your care."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "You are my hometown parents' official. I will ask you for help in many things in the future, so you are not allowed to refuse."

"As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help."

At this time, a maid served them tea. Li Yanqing took a sip of tea and asked, "When will I go to report?"

"The Ministry of Personnel asked me to take office in Tangyin County in a month. I plan to report to the Ministry of Personnel first, and then go home to do a marriage. After getting married, I will go to Tangyin County immediately."

"The marriage is held in my hometown?"

Zhou Chun shook his head, "It's in the capital. I want to take my parents to Bianjing, but my grandfather may not be able to come."

At this time, Zhou Chun remembered something and smiled and said, "There is another thing that may scare you. I just got the news that my grandfather might be going to Lushan School to teach."

Li Yanqing was really shocked, "Your grandfather went to Lushan School"

"I didn't expect that I heard that the teacher of Lushan School was a grandfather's former student. He hired his grandfather several times before he finally agreed."

The teacher of Lushan School is Yao Wannian. It turns out that he is a student of Zhou Chun’s grandfather, which is unexpected!

"Then I will ask Zhou County Wei to take care of Lushan School in the future."

"It should be! It should be!"

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

At this time, the housekeeper said in the hall: "Report to the young official, Zheng Xiaoguan is here."

It was Fatty Zheng who came, Zhou Chun immediately stood up and said, "I won't see him, so I'll say goodbye first, and I'll invite my brother to drink next time!"

Li Yanqing knew that it was Zhou Chun who snatched Fatty Zheng's Tangyin County Magistrate, and the two met, it was embarrassing. He quickly asked the butler to take Zhou Chun away from the side door. The butler understood and took Zhou Chun forward to take him away.

Li Yanqing quickly walked to the front hall and saw Zheng Rongtai looking around and looking at the house.

"It seems that this is not the first time you have come!" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

"I am inspecting the people's situation!" Zheng Rongtai shook his head seriously.

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "Do you dare to say it again, see if I beat you out with a stick."

"Dare to be unlucky, how dare you not accept me when you see me?"

Li Yanqing reached out to get the stick, which scared Zheng Rongtai quickly waved his hand, "Just, just kidding, Lao Li must not take it seriously!"

"It seems that Brother Zheng has gotten a good job!"

"A good job is not a question, but it can be a gangster."

Zheng Rongtai touched his stomach, "It's just noon, why don't we go have a drink?"

"Okay! Let's go to Tongde Restaurant on the street for a drink."

The two walked to Tongde Restaurant on the street. The restaurant was only of medium size, with average wine and good food. Li Yanqing came here to eat almost every day.

There were not many people having lunch, and the whole restaurant seemed deserted. There were only a few guests on the first floor drinking, and there were no bartenders outside the gate.

Li Yanqing took Zheng Rongtai into the restaurant. The bartender who was mopping the floor quickly threw down the mop and greeted him, "It turned out to be Tanhualang, come to have a drink at noon!"

"Can I bring my friends to have a drink, can I go up on the second floor?"

"Yes! Yes! Please, two people upstairs."

The two went up the second floor and picked a seat by the window to sit down. Li Yanqing ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes.

"Tell me! What kind of beauty do you have?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

Zheng Rongtai lowered his voice and said, "He took office as the eighth-rank Tongzhiro, and he was in charge of the iron case of the Ministry of Works."

The Iron Case was originally one of the eight cases under the jurisdiction of the deputy envoy of the Sansi Department. It was in charge of the supply of iron smelting and pig iron in the world. It had great power. After Yuanfeng reorganized, the Sansi Department was abolished and the power of the Sansi was returned to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry. Pig iron was also under the management of the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Industry only promulgated various rules and systems for pig iron, and the specific policy implementer was Shaofu Temple.

Since the iron case can be directly approved for businessmen to go to the mine to buy pig iron, which is extremely oily and water. Li Yanqing was secretly surprised that this kid actually got such a fat man?

Generally, Jinshi starts with ninth-rank officials. Only the top three can be awarded the eighth-rank official, and the top twenty can be awarded the eighth-rank official. It is obvious that because of the prince, Fatty Zheng was awarded an official position and was awarded a real official.

Zheng Rongtai sighed, "Actually, my family still hopes that I can be an official in Xiangzhou and have always been optimistic about the county magistrate of Tangyin. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not very willing. He hopes that I can stay in the court. As a result, the county magistrate of Tangyin was stolen, which is a pity!"

"Sad it's a shame!"

Li Yanqing cursed: "You are from the eighth rank now, and you are just from the Jinshi. You still miss the county magistrate. I see your head is pinched by the door."

"I don't like doing things in the court. I prefer to take my entourage to the countryside with great might. When I see an old farmer who doesn't like him, I will whip him. I don't know anything about the case, so I can only sit on the bench."

"You are content!"

At this time, the bartender served them a drink and food. Li Yanqing poured a glass of wine for Zheng Rongtai and said with a smile: "Stop talking about official positions, I have no news yet! I feel uncomfortable and talk about the news about Bianjing, what are the gossip news recently."

"What kind of gossip can be heard? It's just a marriage!"

Zheng Rongtai paused for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Do you know? Something happened to Li Shishi."

Li Yanqing looked surprised, "What happened to her?"

"This is top secret news. Don't go out and spread it, you'll be caught."

"I won't spread it, you'll just say it."

Zheng Rongtai looked at both sides and confirmed that there was no one on the second floor. Then he said in a lower voice: "She was robbed by several bandits. It has been almost ten days since she was missing. She is not known for her life or death, and she cannot catch her."

"What about the people in the mansion? Didn't anyone see the thief?"

"I heard that her two personal maids were also robbed, and the remaining nine people were all killed, and none of them were alive. The superiors were not allowed to file a case, so they could only investigate secretly, but there was no clue at all."

This news is the same as the news that Li Yanqing got five days ago, and there is no progress. However, Li Yanqing has to admire Liang Shicheng's cruel methods. As long as one of them is not dead, he is probably the one who dies now.

In this matter, he made many mistakes, blindness and impulsiveness, and it was also because he was lucky that he was able to escape temporarily after encountering Liang Shicheng's selfishness. However, he would be controlled by Liang Shicheng for several years.

"Old Li, you said that since Li Shishi is the emperor's woman, why didn't he send troops to protect him? In the end, he gave it to the thief for nothing, which is a pity!"

"Doesn't it be acknowledging the rumors among the people when sending troops to protect them? The emperor strictly prohibits the minister from raising housewives, but he does such a thing himself. Everyone in the world knows, where will he put his face?"

"I don't care about this!"

Zheng Rongtai sighed softly again, "To be honest, I have never seen what Li Shishi looks like before, it's a pity!"

The two chatted for a while, Li Yanqing settled the bill, and Zheng Rongtai said goodbye. Li Yanqing slowly walked towards the mansion. At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind. Li Yanqing turned around and saw a few young officials riding a horse on their backs, riding by themselves.

Li Yanqing's heart moved and hurriedly chased after him. Sure enough, the group of officials stopped in front of his mansion and were talking to the butler.

"Hey here!" Li Yanqing waved his hand and shouted.

When the housekeeper saw him, he quickly pointed at Li Yanqing and said to several officials: "Where is my little official!"

Several officials immediately stepped forward and asked Li Yanqing, "But Li Yanqing, Tanhua?"

"I'm exactly!"

"We are engaged in the Ministry of Personnel, and we are ordered to proclaim the official to you!"

Li Yanqing was overjoyed. His official position finally came, which made him expectant and nervous. He hurriedly asked, "Does any ritual be needed?"

"No, this is not an imperial edict, you just need to listen to the proclamation."

Li Yanqing hurriedly pointed at the door of the mansion and said, "It's not convenient here, please go to the prosecutor of the mansion."

Three officials followed him into the mansion, and the head official opened the document and read it loudly, "Li Yanqing, the third-place in the palace examination list, was approved by the Court of Justice. He was innocent in his life, had good morals, and met the conditions for being appointed to an official. He specially requested the Ministry of Personnel to be appointed to an official. According to the court's rules, he could be appointed to the eighth rank official position and specially assigned to the Selangor. He was sent as the Jiedu envoy of the Baojing Army. After hearing Xuan, he asked to go to the Ministry of Personnel to take office within three days. February 18, the first year of Xuanhe."

The Jiedu Division, also known as the assistant to the Jiedu Division, was an intermediate civil servant in the army and was called the right-hand man of the Jiedu Division together with the Jiedu Division. As far as Li Yanqing knew, the Jiedu Division of the Baojing Army was Zhong Shidao.

Li Yanqing quickly winked at the butler. The butler had already prepared thirty taels of silver and handed it to three officials as tea money.

The three officials smiled and accepted it. The head official said, "I was awarded the first ten Jinshis this morning, and even the top scholar has not yet been settled. I want to congratulate Li Tanhua."

"Thank you three!"
