Lixian County, County Sheriff's Mansion.

"The common people, Shu Kongru, pay their respects to the Lord of the Prefecture! I congratulate you on your new appointment as the county governor. Your majesty will make the common people look up to you!"

Shu Kongru and his attendants were prosperous, and the soldiers were summoned to bring him to the meeting hall to meet Emperor Lin Zhi. As soon as he entered the hall, he bowed his head and bowed, his attitude was humble, and he was full of flattery.

Lin Zhihuang was sitting at the head of the meeting hall. He was now wearing a dark black county guard robe, a black crown with a cicada wing shape on his head, and a seal ribbon hanging around the waist of the robe. He looked down with a smile in his eyes.

First of all, the master and servant Shu Kongru bowed to him as soon as he came in and paid homage respectfully.

Wen Nanfang stood on the left side of Emperor Lin Zhi, looking up and down with inquiring eyes at the master and servant Shu Kongru who were paying homage to Emperor Lin Zhi.

Hu San stood on the right side of Lin Zhihuang holding his knife, also looking serious.

Lin Zhihuanglang smiled and said slowly: "Brother Shu is out for a visit. Please get up quickly. This is not the first time that I and you have met. Why are you so out of sight? Is this a great gift?"

"Etiquette must not be abolished. How can ordinary people ignore the superior and inferior just because they have an old relationship with the Lord?" Shu Kongru stood up according to the words, not daring to look directly at Lin Zhihuang's face, and replied humbly with his head lowered.

Lin Zhihuanglang smiled and praised: "After Brother Shu took over the sale of Lin Mansion's water tankers, he sold nearly two thousand water tankers in just six months, and also received many orders from other states. Shu

As expected, my brother is very capable in business and you have done a good job in this matter. I should reward you generously."

"Thanks to the praise of Lord Fu, the grass-roots people have surrendered to the Lin Mansion and been accepted as disciples by the Lin County Magistrate. They can share the worries of the Lin Mansion. This is the responsibility of the grass-roots people. How can we talk about a generous reward? Lord Fu had previously sent someone to teach the grass-roots people the art of literature.

, it is already a great favor, and the common people are grateful, how can they dare to expect more?"

Seeing Lin Zhihuang's amiable attitude, Shu Kongru repeatedly praised him, regardless of his status, and repeatedly called himself brother. His restraint was gone, and his usual uninhibited smile appeared on his face.

When Lin Zhihuang saw it, the smile on his face deepened. He went through the secret report that Hu San submitted yesterday in his mind. For Shu Kongru, what he had done for the Lin Mansion in the past six months had brought about gold and silver profits.

Knowing everything, I was sure that Shu Kongru was indeed a man with real materials, and I had already made plans for this person.

Shu Kongru returned to Lin Mansion in Hexian County for the last time on his business trip. He heard from the manager of Lin Mansion that the new leader, Lin Zheyun, had resigned from the county magistrate due to health reasons, and the eldest son of Lin Mansion was about to become the new county magistrate of Lixian County.

, and rushed all the way to Lixian County without stopping.

On the day when Shu Kongru arrived in Lixian County, it was the time when the imperial conferment car arrived. Among the people, he saw Lin Zhihuang dressed in women's clothing, leaving the county governor's house to receive officials, fighting alone with madmen, and being respected and worshiped by all the people.

The whole scene.

While Shu Kongru was amazed by what he saw, his awe for Lin Zhihuang had reached its peak.

Many things that I had been puzzling over in He County before and that I didn't understand were all figured out that day.

It turns out that the person in charge of Hexian County at that time was not Magistrate Lin, but Lin Xiaolang... No, Mrs. Lin!

In just half a year, Mrs. Lin relied on her own abilities to gain official approval from the imperial court and sit on the position of county governor. She was a strange person!

After learning this, Shu Kongru didn't want to wait any longer. He made a stepping stone with a secret matter and sent a greeting card to the county governor's office that day, asking him to meet the new county governor of Lixian County.

Sure enough, 'opportunity' never favors those who are well prepared.

On the second day, Shu Kongru was summoned by the county governor's office at the inn where he was staying in Lixian County.

Shu Kongru's attendant was so rich that he was still in shock. He followed his master step by step and came to the governor's house to pay homage to the new governor. He really couldn't understand why the imperial court allowed a young lady to become the governor of a place.

It is even more incomprehensible that the host, Shu Kongru, has been talking crazy words like "Ming Zhu", "Mighty" and "Opportunity" since he saw Mrs. Lin being conferred by the imperial court yesterday.

Wangcai didn't understand. His master had been working for the Lin Mansion for half a year. Magistrate Lin suddenly resigned. Magistrate Lin's family was supposed to be the eldest son of the county magistrate, but suddenly he became a young lady.

So what if a little lady becomes a county guard? Can she be in charge?

Anyone who saw this would think that the Lin Mansion was unreliable. Why did the master become even more excited?

Alas, it seems that the master has wasted half a year again this time and made useless efforts.

Wangcai lowered his head and lamented that his master's luck was really bad, so why couldn't he find someone who could protect his master's power in doing business safely?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Nannan nodded slightly to Hu San opposite him and motioned for him to speak to Lin Zhihuang.

Wen Nanfang didn't want anyone to find out about Lin Zhihuang's weakness. Even though Lin Zhihuang was eager to know the news about Lin Zhihui, Wen Nanfang didn't want a shrewd person who was not sure about his loyalty to probe into Lin Zhihuang's thoughts.

Hu San received Wen Nanfang's instructions, stepped forward and asked: "Brother Shu Xian, yesterday when your attendant Wang Cai came to deliver a greeting card to my house, he said that when he was doing business in Zhuozhou, he heard about the missing people of our house.

Is the news from the leader of the tribe true?"

"Yes, the ordinary people have surrendered to the Lin Mansion, so they are naturally interested in the affairs of the Lin Mansion."

Shu Kongru smiled and cupped his hands, and eloquently explained the matter: "When the common people were learning calligraphy in the Lin Mansion, because the common people would travel around and do business, didn't you give Hu Baichang a portrait of the commander-in-chief of your mansion? You said that this person is

He was the martial arts master of Dalangjun in his family, but he got separated on the day of the chaos in Hexian County and is looking for him everywhere? Therefore, every time the common people pass through a city, they will use this portrait to inquire about his peers, hoping to help the master's family.

"

"Every effort pays off. When the common people passed by Zhuozhou on their trade trip, they heard the news about the leader of your tribe from a fellow trader who sold timber."

Hu San stepped forward after hearing the words and said gratefully: "To be honest, this lost leader of the tribe is also Brother Yu's martial arts master. The Lin Mansion has sent a large number of manpower to search for this person, but no news has been returned. Brother Shu Xian is really...

I helped Brother Yu a lot. I don’t know...”

"Don't dare to take it, don't take it, Hu Baichang is serious." Shu Kongru handed over his hand again, interrupting Hu San's questioning. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he was sure that the news he brought was far more powerful than he had expected earlier.

value.

Before Hu San could ask further questions, Lin Zhihuang raised his hand to stop Hu San.

Lin Zhihuang watched Shu and Confucius greet them politely from the moment they met until now. His replies were not straightforward, so he knew that he really wanted something, so he stopped watching quietly and asked directly with a smile: "Brother Shu, my Lord and you are also welcome."

We have known each other since we were young, and you have made a lot of profits for the Lin Mansion in the past six months since you joined the Lin Mansion. You are now considered one of our own, what do you want from me? Why don't you tell me directly, maybe I can relieve your worries?"

Wen Nanfang glanced at Lin Zhihuang in surprise, and Lin Zhihuang smiled and gave Wen Nanfang a calm look.

When Shu Kongru heard this, the uninhibited smile on his face became wider and wider, and he became more and more sure that Mrs. Lin was a smart person. His eyebrows broadened, showing his arrogant side. He changed his humility in front of him, suddenly raised his head, and looked straight up at the person above.

Lin Zhihuang's eyes were full of determination.

"Bold!" Seeing Shu Kongru's sudden change of attitude, Hu San dared to raise his head and look directly at Lin Zhihuang, unsheathing the sword at his waist.

Shu Kongru's attendant Wangcai didn't understand why his master was so crazy all of a sudden. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost couldn't stand.

"Hu San, stand down!"
