Chapter 159 I am a professional
159 I am a professional
After leaving Ping'an Town, we did not enter the county town.
They took a detour and headed straight to Shou County. Chen Ruhua only smiled after entering the city.
With the power of the sage Wen and the good fortune of the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his carriage ran non-stop all night.
Only when he saw Prefect Sun outside the city and the dark crowd behind him did he slow down and slowly stop.
When getting off the car, the carriage instantly broke into pieces, which made Magistrate Sun and others who came to greet them tremble with fear.
This time, all thanks to the great scholar in front of us. He was the only one who supported us from beginning to end.
"I am Sun Youmin, and I am honored to meet you, my benefactor."
Seeing the horse collapse and collapse immediately after stopping, Magistrate Sun naturally did not dare to look Chen Ruhua in the eye.
He doesn't have such status now. Calling Chen Ruhua a benefactor can be regarded as climbing up the social ladder. It is actually a question whether the other party is willing to accept it or not.
"My benefactor, I, Chen Ruhua, am not doing this for this. Prefect Sun, you are so capable."
She was not polite in front of everyone. Thinking that Sun Youmin was also an important official, Chen Ruhua's eyes were as sharp as knives when she spoke, and everyone was trembling with fear when she looked at her. After a long pause, she suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go into the city first. I never say nice things, but I don't mean any harm."
This sentence was like an amnesty. Everyone who heard it raised their hands and began to wipe the sweat off their face in unison.
Chen Daru always speaks like this. Even if you hear it many times, it is difficult to guess his true emotions.
Now it seems that this is not what I thought it meant, and I felt relieved instantly.
"We have been traveling all the way here, and I have already prepared a banquet in the city to repay you for saving my life."
"In that case, hurry up and lead the way. Youmin, it's late at night, there's no need to mobilize so many troops. Let's just walk."
Having already seen two long rows of guards, they seemed dissatisfied with the arrangements made by Prefect Sun. After taking two steps, Chen Ruhua stopped again and spoke.
"Officials should strictly demand themselves. What time is it now? This will not happen again."
"My benefactor taught me that I am sorry for disturbing your peace in the capital."
Following closely behind her, when he heard Chen Ruhua make another request, Magistrate Sun hurriedly explained.
It is indeed a little late now. If someone else came into the city, he would definitely not make such a grand display.
Chen Daru meant to blame himself for disturbing the people. It was already so late, and apart from the night watchman who had started to beat the night watch, there was actually not much impact.
He had been standing outside the city for several hours, and his subordinates had already taken care of all the relevant matters.
Anyone who wants to watch the fun will not be let off easily. If this happened during the day, it wouldn't matter.
"Did you call for a trumpeter?"
Standing there, seeing that Sun Youmin didn't seem to understand her meaning very well, she asked a question, and Chen Ruhua immediately denied it:
"If there is no trumpeter, forget it. I was afraid you might have arranged something like this on the way here."
"It is not appropriate to enter the city late at night. I am not here for anything important this time."
It sounded like an order, but Magistrate Sun beside him understood it instantly. He gave a look and someone immediately conveyed his meaning quietly.
After that, before Chen Ruhua took a few steps, festive suona sounds suddenly rang out in the city. The great scholar who had entered the city enjoyed hearing it very much. Although he looked reproachful, the corners of his mouth inadvertently curled up.
The group marched through the city in a grand manner, the sound of suona followed them wherever they went, and they were served carefully throughout the whole process. Magistrate Sun was not able to stand up straight until they entered the restaurant. It was not that he had to do so, but mainly because he did not have the confidence in front of Chen Daru.
Logically speaking, I couldn't get in touch with this great scholar, but who knew that my mentor was unwilling to do so.
He insisted on inviting Chen Daru out, which made him, who was already fearless, even more fearless.
My mentor has a bad temper and often protects his disciple according to his mood at the time. I have been doing well under his protection for so many years. It's a pity that he didn't come with Chen Daru this time.
The old man was reluctant to leave the capital.
"The arrival of the great scholar has brought honor to my humble shop, Governor Sun."
He had been following behind Magistrate Sun before he entered the door. As the best restaurant in the county, the owner Zhou Youmin was grinning from ear to ear at this moment.
He felt that the greatest happiness in his life was that he had the same name as the prefect. Although the two had different surnames, they were connected by some kind of fate.
They had been running their business in Shou County for so many years thanks to the care of Prefect Sun. Since he took office, their restaurant had become more and more popular day by day. This was because Prefect Sun often came to their house for dinner, and the reason was that it was the first time he met someone with the same name as himself under his jurisdiction.
There are so many people in a prefecture, and what Governor Sun said is just flattering himself.
"Go and do your work first. As usual, I'll call you if there's anything else."
Magistrate Sun was very familiar with Boss Zhou, and seeing that he wanted to follow him upstairs, he immediately spoke out to stop him.
What he and Chen Daru talked about next was not convenient for outsiders to hear, and it would definitely start as soon as they sat down.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
There's no need to be so thorough. Chen Daru will be responsible for his own affairs.
When he entered the private room and there were few people around him, he sat down and waited for Chen Ruhua to speak.
"Good! We have people, so we must govern them well."
Looking at the night outside the window, she said something soon. Seeing that the downstairs was heavily guarded, Chen Ruhua did not give any more reminders.
It's a rare opportunity for me to leave the capital, so let the people below do whatever they want. The drummer just now was very good, and I must listen to him again when I have the chance.
Great scholars are also human beings, and are far from being free from emotions as outsiders see them to be.
"I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of my benefactor."
"I wonder if you have met my teacher during your trip to Beijing? Did he bring any message?"
"I've never seen him. The old man is in a daze all day long, like a drunkard."
Chen Ruhua was very familiar with the mentor mentioned by Magistrate Sun. When she thought that he did not show up when she left the capital, she picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
There are not many people who can make me run all the way here. In terms of planning, that drunkard is better than me.
He determined that Chen Ruhua's disciples could not take over Ping An Temple, and made a bet with him.
I have to fulfill my promise when I go back, and I'll give that old guy a good deal for no reason.
"My mentor has been addicted to alcohol in recent years. I have written to him several times to persuade him to drink."
Thinking of his mentor's always red nose, Prefect Sun couldn't help but smile and said that the matter this time was over and he would find an opportunity to go to the capital again another day.
"What are you going to do about the county magistrate named Lin Zhen and the two Taoist priests from Ping An Temple?"
"I can't sense any breath from him. That little Taoist priest actually knows how to curse."
After dealing with Lin Zhen's several confidantes, she separated from her disciples. Thinking of the two Taoists from Ping'an Temple, Chen Ruhua felt that they were a bit tricky.
It is said that the Taoist sect in the current Great Zhou Dynasty is in decline, but after meeting Gao Yu'an, he felt that it was not the case. The old Taoist priest of the Ren Sect! "Don't worry, benefactor, I have already come up with a plan in my mind. Those two Taoist priests will be of great use in the future."
Raising the wine glass to Chen Ruhua, Magistrate Sun almost choked when he drank it all in one gulp. He looked down at the glass and found nothing unusual, which made him feel confused.
My hand trembled. Was it Chen Daru?
Not happy with what you said?
