    One hundred and fifty-five entertainment

    Meng Ju turned around slowly, and Liu Kongqin watched him quietly with her beautiful eyes.

    He felt sad and angry, with thousands of words stirring in his chest, but nothing could be said.

    The two looked at each other for a long time, and both of them knew the unspoken words between their eyes.

    Liu Kongqin sighed softly, she bowed slightly, turned around and left.

    Meng Ju stood alone in the wind and snow, feeling lost.

    When Meng Ju returned to the headquarters of the General Administration, it was already dark.  The housekeeper reported to him that an officer from the General Administration was waiting for him in the room.

    "An officer from the General Administration?"

    Meng Ju walked into the living room, and a strange man in casual clothes quickly stood up and bowed to Meng Ju: "The humble Inspector Chen Yunqing of the Office of Integrity and Integrity is here to see the Governor."

    "Inspector Chen, please don't be too polite. Please sit down. Sorry, I went out to do some errands and kept you waiting for a long time."

    "Mr. Meng is so polite. He has just arrived at this humble position."

    Meng Ju looked at the person in front of him.  Chen Yunqing is young, slightly fat, and wearing a well-made satin gown.  He has a very friendly round face, a smiling face, smart eyes, and a bright and generous temperament.  If he hadn't reported his identity, Meng Huihui would have regarded him as a second-generation ancestor rather than an Dongling Guards officer.

    Chen Yunqing was also looking at Meng Ju.  Before coming, he already knew that Meng Ju, the governor of Tongzhi in Dongping Province, was a "peerless general".  The commendation order from the General Administration made it very clear that this fierce man single-handedly fought into the demon army during the Battle of Jing'an. He killed the demon army's national preceptor and more than a dozen generals by one person, and captured the demon army.  Wang Qihou withdrew safely.

    The officers of the General Administration privately sneered at such a statement: It is possible to see the opening and rush in for a sneak attack or to seize the enemy's flag and run away. But how is it possible for one person to sweep through thousands of troops?

    But no matter how much you brag, there must be 10% to 20% truth in it. In Chen Yunqing¡¯s impression, Meng Ju was a rough and tough warrior with a strong body, well-developed muscles, and a loud voice!

    At this moment, seeing Master Meng Ju, Chen Yunqing was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.

    The man in front of him is very young - but there was already a younger Ye Canaan before, so it is not unusual for him to be Governor Tongzhi in his twenties.  What surprised him was Meng Ju's appearance: this handsome young man, with a slim build and a strong scholarly air in his movements, spoke kindly and politely, but his expression was a little dazed and absent-minded for some reason - what kind of fierce general was this?  This is obviously just a white-faced scholar!

    "I don't know how much money those scoundrels in the border army took from this guy? They actually praised this white-faced scholar as a 'peerless general'. It's really shameless - this guy is really lucky. He relied on flattery to achieve this.  It's really annoying to be a fellow governor. Alas, in this world, honest people like me are the ones who suffer!"

    Though Chen Yunqing didn't dare to show it at all, he was respectful to Meng Ju.  It's not because Meng Ju is the governor of Tongzhi. Although the governor of Tongzhi is very great in the local area, there are so many town governors and governors of Tongzhi in the general administration, so it doesn't matter if you are used to them.  But a Tongzhi governor who has won the trust and appreciation of the commander-in-chief Bai Wusha cannot be underestimated.  I heard that Meng Ju had a life-saving benevolence for Bai Wusha - no one dared to mess with a Tongzhi governor with such a background, even if he was as rotten as a piece of shit!

    "Governor Meng, I heard that you are going to visit various yamen in Beijing these days, and the superiors have sent me to assist you. I am at your disposal. If you have any orders, just tell me."

    Meng Ju was still thinking about the proposal to propose marriage to Liu Kongqin, and Meng Ju was a little absent-minded.  Chen Yunqing said the words twice before he reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Oh, is this the matter? Inspector Chen, to be honest, I really don't know anything about these things. Since the General Administration sent you here, it must be  Because you are an expert, I will ask you to work hard and plan it for me."

    Chen Yunqing felt contempt in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "Yes, Supervisor Meng Zhen is busy with work, so naturally he can't take care of these trivial matters. I have some ideas here, Supervisor Meng, if you see anything wrong, I will change it right away."  ¡±

    He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Meng Ju with both hands respectfully.  Meng Ju took it and unfolded it to read it. The paper was densely packed with schedules for entertainment with officials from various ministries.

    "On the 21st, during the day, I met with Wai Lang, Chief Cui, Huang Lingshi, and Lu Lingshi, the senior members of the Ministry of War, and made an appointment for a dinner at Qunfang Building in Xifang.

    On the 22nd, we made an appointment with Mr. Chen and Mr. Li from the Ministry of Revenue at the Yangetai Restaurant in Xifang;

    "On the 23rd, we invited Chief Nanmu, Chief Bai, Chen Lingshi and others from the Northern Xinjiang Qing Li Branch of the Ministry of Punishment to have a dinner at the Tianhe Restaurant in Xifang;"Meng Ju looked at the schedule and saw that it was so densely packed that it had been scheduled for more than ten days. There were probably not nearly a hundred officials on the list, so he couldn't help but click his tongue.  Seeing Meng Ju's expression of embarrassment, Chen Yunqing said respectfully: "Governor Meng, this is a preliminary plan drawn up by me. If you see anything wrong, please just bring it up."

    "Inspector Chen, are there too many people here?"

    "Governor Meng, the officials on the list are all those who can be spoken to in various yamen in Beijing and have a good relationship with our Lingwei. Some officials may not be able to get low-level positions, so they are not listed on the list. In the future,  If we really do it, we might have to add some temporarily.¡±

    "Oh!" Meng Ju was secretly confused.  It seems that no matter what dynasty or generation, it is the same. There are many officials in the capital. This has never changed.  A fellow governor can dominate in other provinces, but here in the capital, anyone who can pour tea and water from various ministries might be a fourth-grade official.

    He looked at the list again and suddenly found another question: "Well, Xu Yuanwailang and Gao Yuanwailang are both from the Ministry of Punishment, why not invite them together? There are also several judges from Dali Temple, together they are  Inviting them together can save some time."

    Chen Yunqing vaguely said that although they were in the same film, the relationship between these people was not very harmonious, and it would not be good to put them together. Before he finished speaking, Meng Ju had understood and nodded repeatedly: "I know.  , Got it." - Building relationships and socializing is also a matter of knowledge. If you don't pay attention, don't talk about building relationships. Just don't offend others.

    After reading it again, Meng Ju handed the paper back to Chen Yunqing and said thoughtfully: "Inspector Chen, you have a good plan. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to spare so much time - so, I'll mention two  Some requirements: First, according to regulations, I must take office within one month of receiving the appointment letter, so you have to shorten the time; second, although I have taken office as the Tongzhi Governor of Dongping Province,  I don¡¯t have much contact with the directors of the General Administration, so I hope I can get acquainted with them if I have the opportunity. Inspector Chen, can you help make arrangements?"

    Chen Yunqing said with a bitter face: "Mr. Meng, you want to reduce the time for socializing, and at the same time, you want to increase the number of people from the General Administration. These two requirements make it difficult for me to arrange!"

    "Thank you for your hard work, Inspector Chen. You must be able to find a solution."

    After some discussions and revisions, the two finally drew up a schedule and compressed the time to eight days. Fortunately, Chen Yunqing, a local snake who knew Luojing officialdom well, had the guidance, otherwise Meng Ju would not have known what to do when faced with the dense list of officials.  How to get started.  At his suggestion, Meng Ju no longer had to visit and entertain some officials who were not very important in person. Instead, Chen Yunqing sent gifts and greetings on his behalf. The time saved was used to arrange visits to the governors of various yamen of the General Administration.  He was the governor of Tongzhi.

    So, in the next few days, Meng Ju was so busy that he felt like he was spinning like a top.

    The yamen in the capital are indeed big. Not only are the buildings of the yamen majestic, but the officials are also grand.  In every government office, even the concierge's eyes are on the top of his head.  If it weren't for Chen Yunqing, who was familiar with the roads, to lead the way, Meng Ju might not even be able to enter the yamen gates.  Every day during the day, his work went from one yamen to another. He listened with a smile to the official talk of those half-grown officials, and then gave them red envelopes. The other party accepted them indifferently, and his attitude finally improved: "Ah  , Dongping, I know your place, I know! It is a good place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the official has always been very concerned about your place."

    Taking advantage of the other party's good mood, Meng Ju handed over a message asking the other party to come to the banquet. The attitude of the officials was very ambiguous. They didn't say whether to go or not: "That's it you guys can play first. I'll come when I have time."  past."

    What Meng Ju fears most is hearing such words.  The other party spoke vaguely, but Meng Ju did not dare to deal with it casually. He and Chen Yunqing booked a banquet at the restaurant every night and waited. Sometimes when the moon went up and no one came to the west, Meng Ju and Chen Yunqing were speechless, talking to each other.  All embarrassing.

    In Dongping, Meng Ju was also a supervisory official in the province, but here, he felt that he was the same as the enemies who followed Beijing to file a complaint.  He secretly cursed himself for being a bitch and for coming here to seek humiliation.

    Chen Yunqing comforted him and said, "Governor Meng, there's nothing we can do. Beijing officials have always been this way. If you don't say hello now, it will be even more troublesome to ask them for anything in the future."

    Fortunately, it is much easier to deal with the Dongling Guards internally, and all the yamen are very polite to Meng Ju.  Meng Ju held a banquet to entertain guests. Whether it was the Military Intelligence Agency, the Internal Intelligence Agency, the Public Security Bureau or the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the town governors and some senior inspectors who received the message were all present with great honor.  When Inspector Huang Xing of the Internal Intelligence Agency attended the banquet, he specially brought Xiao Rufeng over.

    As soon as Xiao Rufeng saw him, he knelt down to Meng Ju and kept his head down without saying a word.

    Huang Xing is very loudTo put it bluntly, because of previous misunderstandings, I had offended many of the brothers in Meng Town and Dongping, and now I have come here to apologize.  In front of the governors of various yamen, he beat and scolded Xiao Rufeng, saying that he was a brainless fool who mistakenly believed in the traitor's intelligence and hurt the good brothers of the Dongping Department, and also hurt the relationship between the Lingwei brothers.  Kindness - speaking of indignation, Huang Xing grabbed a big wooden stick from somewhere and hit Xiao Rufeng head-on, as if he wanted to kill him on the spot.

    Meng Ju and the governor present were so frightened that they quickly came up to hug him and snatched the wooden stick: "Governor Huang, you can't do it, you can't do it!"

    Xiao Rufeng knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly and bursting into tears: "Governor Meng, you deserve to die for your low duty, I'm sorry for you."

    Huang Xing gasped and said: "Governor Meng, according to me, you should just take this idiot back to the prison in Dongping! You can't tell the difference between loyal and traitor, right from wrong. You just kill this idiot."  I don¡¯t feel bad at all!¡±

    Meng Ju knew very well that what the other party was worried about in this performance was not his identity as the governor of Dongping, but that he was Bai Wusha's confidant.  But since the other party has lowered his stance so low, Meng Ju doesn't want to form a deadly feud with the Intelligence Agency.

    "Governor Huang, what are you doing! Brother Xiao doesn't have any personal grudges with me. We are all doing official business. It's just some misunderstanding. We are all in the field of tomb guarding. The principle that we can't help ourselves in official duties can still be  Don¡¯t you understand? Come on, let¡¯s have a drink, and don¡¯t mention this matter again.¡±

    Meng Ju helped Xiao Rufeng up with his own hands, toasted Huang Xing, and then toasted Xiao Rufeng.

    Everyone looked at each other and smiled, as if there was really no grudge in their hearts.

    The governors present all applauded, saying that Governor Meng is young but has such a great mind.  Now it's better, we can forget all the grudges when we meet again!

    Chen Yunqing led Meng Ju to introduce the town governors present. Every time he introduced one, Meng Ju toasted politely, claiming that the juniors learned from the seniors. He had just become a town governor and didn't understand anything. He hoped that the seniors would give them more support and guidance.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the new town governor is the popular person in front of the general town Bai Wusha.  Therefore, no one dared to rely on their elders to put on airs. Everyone was very polite and said that Governor Meng was already a governor at a young age and had a bright future. We old guys still count on your care.

    The next step was to drink and drink together, and until they were drunk, the governors patted their chests one by one and promised that from now on, Meng Ju would report to them any official work in Dongping, and they would approve it without any hesitation!

    Although he knew that the guarantee at the banquet was almost like farting, Meng Ju still thanked him repeatedly and pretended to be grateful.  Over the next few days, Meng Ju visited all the yamen of the General Administration. All the governors praised him, saying that Meng Ju, the new governor of Dongping, was a sensible person and generous in giving. Anyway, it was the General Administration that paid for it, and Meng Ju  Not distressed either.

    Later, Bai Wusha, the head of the town, couldn't stand it anymore. He called Meng Ju over and gave him a lecture, saying that the money allocated by the General Administration was for him to build relationships with outside yamen. Why did Meng Ju actually use it to benefit the general administration for personal gain?  Did the town governors give out red envelopes?

    Meng Ju chuckled and shamelessly allowed Bai Wusha to lecture him - he knew well that squandering thousands of taels of silver was not a big deal. However, he got a good raping in exchange for a harmonious relationship with various yamen, which was very worthwhile.

    Seeing Meng Ju's shameless look, Bai Wusha said angrily: "Hurry up and pack your bags and go back to Dongping. If you stay any longer, you will squander all the funds of the General Administration - by the way, you go up  Your Majesty has agreed to the proposal to set up a Doukai mobile town in Dongping to support the mausoleum guards in the six towns. He has agreed to allocate 350 Doukai to you. For this purpose, you can use it to negotiate with the Ministry of War.  Bar."
