Chapter 231 (1/2)



231 Number two’s question_1

In this era, the method of bearing the spineless loquat could definitely be called a secret technique.

However, for Xu Qi ‘an, who had been studying biology in junior high school, this was just a basic principle. He even knew that poor plants wanted to carry on their family line, so they had to ask Bee, their neighbor, to help them plant it.

The scene suddenly became a little stiff. Xu Qi ‘an’s words caught the officials by surprise and they found it hard to believe. One must know that when they first learned about the method of removing the loquats ‘cores, they were absolutely amazed.

Unexpectedly, it was said by a small gong.

Li Miaozhen’s beautiful eyes widened and she began to re-examine the little Gong. She realized that she might have guessed wrong. This Gong might be a lecher who was hollowed out by wine and women, but he wasn’t a good-for-nothing and had some skills.

…. It seemed that he must have some ability to be arranged to sit at the main table by Governor Zhang. Li Miaozhen put away her contempt and immediately realized that she still underestimated him.

The rest of the silver and copper gongs were arranged at other tables, so why was this kid sitting next to the governor?

This was not something that could be explained simply by “having some ability.” Weren’t the other gongs talents?

“Ha, he shot himself in the foot.” Li Miaozhen sneered gloatingly. She was happy to see envoy song suffer.

Even with song buzheng’s perfect cultivation in officialdom, the shame in his heart still surged. He had previously said that he was blessed by the White Emperor and had been influenced by incense, but in the end, he had been exposed in front of everyone and the Imperial inspector.

“Ningyan, emissary song will naturally explain to me about such petty tricks. Why are you so talkative?” Governor Zhang reprimanded.

On the surface, he reprimanded Xu Qi ‘an, but in fact, he was secretly mocking the envoy song.

“…. May I know your name, Sir?” However, with the interruption of the governor, the chief administrator finally recovered and asked without a change in expression.

“This official’s surname is Xu, first name Qi ‘an, courtesy name Ning Yan.” Xu Qi ‘an replied.

“This kid is quite talented.” Provincial governor Zhang stroked his beard and lifted Xu Qi ‘an up with a smile.

As expected, the officials shifted their gazes and focused on him again. They pondered over the identity of this Gong and his position in the provincial governor’s team.

“So his name is Xu Qi ‘an … Eh, this name sounds familiar.” Li Miaozhen thought for a moment and remembered who Xu Qi ‘an was. She remembered that number three had mentioned this person and praised him.

It’s him … To be so highly regarded by number three, he was indeed extraordinary.

The awkwardness was forcibly resolved by emissary song bu. He casually introduced the local customs of Yunzhou and did not mention the loquat matter, which proved that he still minded it very much.

The banquet ended when provincial governor Zhang was slightly drunk. No one got drunk, and no one innocently suggested to go to the Imperial Academy. Otherwise, song tingfeng would be very happy.

A banquet of this style would not be too extravagant, just like how the officials of the Imperial court almost never went to the Imperial Academy.

When a person reached a certain position, their status would push them to care about their image. Even if you were a greedy person, your external image had to be noble and upright.

Take Xu Qi ‘an for example. He could do whatever he wanted now because he was young and had a low status.

However, when he was in a high position and had great power one day, he would have to pay …

After leaving the mansion, Governor Zhang and the other officials bade their farewells outside the mansion. Then, he got on the carriage and left.

After the carriage had traveled for a distance, he raised the curtain of the window and praised, “”Well done, ningyan,”

Xu Qi ‘an knew that he was referring to the matter of the loquat seed, so he said,”It’s a small matter,”

tsk, tsk. Governor Zhang’s tone became more and more casual as he conversed, without the arrogance of an official, ” you’re also proficient in farming and Mulberry? ”

Without waiting for Xu Qi ‘an to answer, Jiang Lu chimed in with a smile, “”He’s even proficient in alchemy. He’s no worse than Bai Yi of the Directorate of Celestials.”

You’ve acted tough for me, so what should I act tough for? “You’re wrong,” Xu Qi ‘an corrected,”Bai Yi from the Directorate of Celestials has to call me half-master.”

The three of them laughed.

“Why are you so kind today, Sir?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Governor Zhang turned around and looked at the mansion that could no longer be seen, he said in a deep voice,”This Yunzhou should be led by Governor song bu. He is not on good terms with yang Chuannan.”

Xu Qi ‘an recalled,’ he’s a little cold …’ But that yang Chuannan is cold to everyone.”

“This means that most of the officials in Yunzhou have the surname song,” Governor Zhang sneered.

“Please advise me, my Lord.”

“Among the three divisions, the commander’s division has the most power, but the one who welcomed me just now was chief administrator song. Although the chief governor should appear on such an occasion, think about it carefully. The first person he introduced to me was the executioner, not the commander. It was obvious that the two were not on good terms.

“I noticed from the banquet that yang Chuannan is silent most of the time, and the chief administrator is like the host. Ha, this is a very particular thing in the officialdom, and you can’t overstep your authority.” Provincial governor Zhang laughed,

“Ningyan, learn from him.”

“I’m a martial artist, why would I learn these things?” Xu Qi ‘an secretly noted it down.

“Also, I’ve come to my senses now.” “Do you know why that song guy gave loquats at the banquet?” Governor Zhang asked.

Acting cool … “I don’t know,” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.

anyone who is curious will ask. He didn’t answer. It’s a way of giving me a chance to get off my horse. Provincial governor Zhang sneered,

“Also, give me a hint. If I get rid of one person, Yunzhou will be safe. Just like the loquats.”

It went without saying who he wanted to get rid of.
