"Master, a group of people came out of the yamen. They said that his surname was Liu and that they were an aide to the governor." A servant in the yamen said panting.

The county magistrate of Guangling County sat in the garden in the backyard of the yamen. There were two maids serving him next to him. There was a stone table in front of him, a wine pot and a wine cup on the table, and two dried fruit plates next to him.

Hearing the news brought by the yamen runners, the county magistrate suddenly stood up from the stone bench under his butt, looked surprised, and immediately said to the yamen runners beside him: "Come Master Qian quickly."

"No more invitations, the student is here." As soon as he finished speaking, Master Qian walked in from outside the small door in front of the yard.

He walked to the county magistrate in three or two steps, gave a deep bow, and said, "Students pay homage to the county magistrate."

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "At this time, there is no need for these false gifts. Hurry up and accompany me to welcome the guests from the Governor's Office."

"Abide by the orders of Lord." Master Qian said with a bow.

The county magistrate walked in front, and Master Qian followed behind with one mistake.

After walking a few steps, the county magistrate suddenly stopped, turned around, and ordered the two maids behind him: "Remove everything on the table, and then inform the kitchen to make a table of good dishes, and the Han Mansion wine, warm a pot."

The two maids responded, gave a squat gift, and then began to pack up the fruit plates and wine pots on the stone table.

The county magistrate hurriedly brought Mr. Qian and the yamen runners who delivered the letter to the outside of the county yamen.

As soon as I left the county government gate, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a scholar standing under the steps outside the door. He was tall and dressed in a blue shirt with a faint sense of coldness and a hint of arrogance.

Behind this man were several strong men, with weapons like single swords on his waist and holding the reins of the horse in his hand.

Without asking the yamen runners behind him who reported the news, just take a look, the county magistrate recognized that the middle-aged scholar in front of him was an aide from the governor's yamen.

When he came to Guangling County to take office, he had seen each other, but he had no chance to speak.

The county magistrate did not dare to neglect, so he ran down the stone steps at the yamen gate, and came to the middle-aged scholar with a smile on his face. He bowed and said, "The lower-ranking official Zhu Dachang has met Mr. Liu."

Because he had no official position, Zhu Dachang could only call him Mr., but his flattering look was not much different from flattering Shangguan.

The middle-aged scholar glanced at Zhu Dachang, who had a big ear and a round face in front of him, and said lightly: "Mr. Zhu doesn't have to be so polite."

He was kind to the point, but his body was motionless and did not return the gift. Instead, he had a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Zhu Dachang was not dissatisfied at all, as if he should have been like this.

He straightened up, wiped the sweat from his head with his hands, and smiled and said, "Mr. Liu must have worked hard all the way. The subordinate officials asked someone to prepare tea in the back hall."

The dog days passed, but the autumn tiger was still raging and the weather was still stuffy.

The middle-aged scholar nodded, put his hands on his back, and entered the county government with Zhu Dachang, Qian Shiye and others carefully accompanied him.

Several strong men behind him followed and walked in, and the horses were taken to the horse shed by the yamen runners in the county yamen to feed them.

There were very few yamen runners in the county yamen, and most of them went to Guangji. The middle-aged scholar didn't know that the sixth house was not in the county yamen, but had other office locations.

As soon as he entered the back hall of the county yamen, the middle-aged scholar gave instructions to a strong man following behind him. The other party and others guarded the door, stopping Master Qian and the accompanying yamen runners who wanted to come in with him.

"Mr. County Master, student..." Seeing that he could not follow him, Mr. Qian had to stand outside and shout out the county magistrate walking in front.

Hearing the voice, Zhu Dachang turned around and saw Master Qian who was stopped outside the door. He hurriedly said to the middle-aged scholar walking in front of him: "Mr. Liu, this person outside the door is the master next to Xiaguan. Can you let him in?"

The middle-aged scholar nodded to the strong man guarding the door, and Master Qian was then released.

There was a seat in the back hall. The middle-aged scholar walked over and sat down, and Zhu Dachang was sitting there. As for Master Qian, he could only stand respectfully beside Zhu Dachang.

After sitting down and arranging people to prepare tea, Zhu Dachang asked carefully: "Mr. Liu came to the county this time, did he have any instructions on the governor?"

In the morning, he stamped a large seal on the sea captain's documents. Most of the yamen sent to Guangji to capture the bandits. At this time, people from the governor's yamen came, so he couldn't help but think about it.

A yamen runner brought two cups of freshly brewed hot tea outside the back hall. After being allowed, he was able to come in, and then he gave the tea and retreated.

The middle-aged scholar held up the base of the teacup, opened the lid, blew the tea leaves on it, and said lightly: "I heard that the Hanfu wine comes from a winery in your Guangling County?"

When talking about the winery in Guangji, Zhu Dachang felt a little anxious and had to cheer up. He smiled carefully and said, "There is a winery, but the owner of this winery is a bandit from Dingshan, Waidian. He has been sued and the officials have sent someone to capture it."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" The middle-aged scholar put down his teacup and said with regret. "It's a pity that this Han Mansion wine is. It may not be easy to drink such fine wine in the future."

Zhu Dachang, who was sitting at the bottom, hurriedly smiled and said, "If Mr. Liu likes it, every month after the resignation, he will send someone to the house."

Hearing this, the middle-aged scholar's gaze rolled on Zhu Dachang's face with a smile. After a while, he said, "It seems that Lord Zhu has gained a lot of benefits this time?"

Zhu Dachang closed his mouth awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

Qian Master Qian interrupted, "The arrest of the bandit Liu Tianyu has a document issued by the county government. As for the industries that Guangji will be sold at that time, Hanfu wine is a good wine and a profitable business. Those merchants are naturally willing to buy it and continue to do it. The winery remains unchanged and the guys remain unchanged. They just change their owners and do not delay the winery is produced. Hanfu wines will also be sold."

"Yes, yes, yes, this is what the lower official means, that is what the meaning is." Zhu Dachang nodded quickly.

Before he understood the purpose of the people coming to the governor's yamen, he did not dare to admit that he had conspired with the Fan family and Guangling Trading Company.

The middle-aged scholar curled his lips, revealing a faint disdain, and said, "You Lord Zhu dare to say that you have not shared the benefits of it?"

"This..." Zhu Dachang choked.

Seeing Zhu Dachang's appearance, the middle-aged scholar knew that the other party had gained a lot of benefits. He immediately raised his right hand, stretched out a slap, separated his five fingers, and said, "I want 50% of the dry stocks in the winery."

Hearing this number, Zhu Dachang looked bitter and said nothing for a while.

The middle-aged scholar did not urge him, and picked up the tea cup on the table and put it next to his mouth and slowly started drinking tea.

"Stop, don't go in." The strong man guarding outside the door stopped a man who wanted to break into the back hall.
