Chapter 2964 fooling and fooling

When Bai Shan and Zhou Manxiang fluttered to the Governor's Mansion, Governor Guo's face darkened again.

But seeing that the two of them were neatly dressed, their faces were fair and clean, they were refreshed and smiling, and even the impetuous Guo Governor felt a little more comfortable.

Bai Shan was wearing a green official uniform, and Zhou Man was crimson. When the two entered the study, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the governor of Guo.

Inspector Guo glanced at Bai Shan, only waved at him, got up and greeted Zhou Man, then asked Zhou Man to sit down, and then asked Bai Shan who was standing, "Why did you only come now?"

Bai Shan said with a look of guilt: "Sir, a few days ago, someone secretly crossed the checkpoint and sneaked into everyone's valley to investigate the new salt field. You also know that there have been bandits in Beihai County, and the lower officials are always afraid that there will be similar incidents in the local area. It exists, but Xiaguan lives in a high hall and does not know the viciousness below, so in order to prevent the people from being threatened by violence again, Xiaguan took people to the countryside to make an unannounced visit."

Bai Shan listed the villages he has visited and some basic information. Some small villages have only appeared in recent years, not to mention the governor of Guo, but Bai Shan only found out about such a village when he went to the place and asked the villagers. The prefect's eyes smeared, and he quickly interrupted him, "Okay, this official knows, so have you returned to the county office?"

Bai Shan said "no" with a face ashamed, he said: "Xiaguan met the yamen who came out to report the letter yesterday on the way back to the county government office, hurry up and hurry up, and only rushed to the outside of Beihai County before dark. The lord was afraid that the minister would delay the affairs of the lord, so he packed up his luggage early and waited outside the city. As soon as we met, we immediately went to Qingzhou City. After rushing the road for half the night, we arrived before dawn. Let's go in."

He was completely unaware of the fact that Inspector Guo wanted to release Song Min through the back door.

Inspector Guo said nothing, glanced at the aides standing aside and drank tea.

The staff quietly retreated.

The room was quiet for a while, Bai Shan was standing like a loose figure, although the atmosphere was a little weird, but he didn't seem to be affected.

Zhou Man looked at this, then looked at that, and didn't say anything at all. He smiled slightly and took the cup to drink tea. She wanted to spit it out after just one sip.

She swallowed hard, looked down and realized that it was a cup of strong tea.

She immediately put down the teacup, feeling that the bitter taste in her mouth had faded a little, then looked at Governor Guo, looked at him and asked, "Master Guo won't sleep all night, right?"

Inspector Guo sighed, "I can't sleep~"

The aide came in and nodded slightly to Governor Guo across the crowd. Governor Guo sighed again, pointed to a seat next to him and said to Bai Shan, "Sit down and talk."

Then he turned his head and said to Zhou Man: "No way, do you know who came to our Qingzhou City yesterday?"

Without waiting for Zhou Man to answer, he said to himself, "His Royal Highness!"

"A crown prince, a princess, and a concubine brought all the civil and military officials from the court to Qingzhou. Sir Zhou, do you think I can sleep?"

Zhou Man was stunned and stared, "The princess and the concubine? Is it Bai Er? Ahem, I mean, is it Princess Mingda and the concubine?"

Bai Shan was also startled, and looked up at Inspector Guo in a daze.

Hearing Zhou Man's name, Governor Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile on his face, he nodded and said, "It's Princess Mingda and the white concubine."

Zhou Man couldn't help but look at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan also looked at her. The two looked at each other silently, pressed the excitement in their hearts, and tried to listen with a sullen face.

Inspector Guo seemed to see their excitement, coughed lightly, and after attracting their attention, he looked worried, "I don't know why His Highness came straight to our Qingzhou?"

He suspected that the people were recruited by Bai Shan and Zhou Man. After all, not to mention Zhou Man, she was compiled by Chongwenguan, and she had the channel and right to make a discount. Even Bai Shan, who came out of Zhongshu, must have a channel to contact Beijing.

In fact, people were indeed brought in by Bai Shan.

Bai Shan and Zhou Man looked at each other across the air, and Bai Shan lowered his head and said, "Sir, maybe it's for the salt field."

Inspector Guo frowned and asked, "The salt field in Beihai County has existed for decades. Why is Your Highness suddenly interested in this?"

Bai Shan: "Perhaps I didn't suddenly become interested in the salt farms in Beihai County, but only because I needed to understand the official salt, so I came to see the salt farms?"

Inspector Guo's heart beat faster. Does this mean that the court is going to take action against Yan Zheng?

Today, most of the salt in Dajin comes from Jiangnan. Although there are a lot of well salt and sea salt in various places, Jiangnan is the one that can provide large amounts of salt to various places and pay a large amount of salt tax.

And the salt tax and salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River...

Even if Governor Guo had never been to Jiangnan, his scalp felt numb just thinking about it.

He swallowed, and wisely did not ask any more, but said: "It's getting late, His Royal Highness and the others should also get up, you used to be the prince's companion, you must know more about the prince's habits, it's better for the two of you to go. Ask the prince if he is accustomed to living there, and see if there is anything else that needs to be purchased, and tell me, so that I can make preparations."

Bai Shan got up and responded, looking at Zhou Man.

Zhou Man then also got up, saluted with him, and then stepped back.

As soon as they left, the two aides in the room said, "My lord, is the court going to take action on the salt tax in Jiangnan?"

Inspector Guo: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

He reached out and rubbed his forehead, "Our Majesty has a deep mind and can bend and stretch. Who knows what he is thinking at this time?"

But no matter what he thought, he knew that Bai Shan was not just here to be a small magistrate when he came to Beihai County.

He just said, even if it is released, it will not be released from a middle school to a county magistrate, right?

It turned out that the drunkard's intention was not the wine.

Inspector Guo thought about it for a while, and finally sighed and said with some heartache: "Return the coral tree and silver money sent by the Song family."

"grown ups……"

"Since Bai Shan has never returned to the county office, then this matter should not have happened. You can send someone to Beihai county office again. Since Bai Shan has been sentenced, let's deal with it according to the law."

The prince is here, and it is better to be quiet at this time.

After thinking about it, the staff had no choice but to respond, but he was still a little skeptical, "Sir, Magistrate Bai really didn't receive the news. Don't you know anything about the county government?"

Inspector Guo snorted twice: "I don't care if he really doesn't know or if he doesn't know, he has a good reason, and he came to see me in a hurry, I'll take it that he didn't neglect me, and I take it that he really doesn't. Know."

Moreover, Bai Shan also gave him the information he wanted to know. He was no longer just his subordinate, they were more of a cooperative relationship. If that was the case, then he could not be viewed in the eyes of ordinary subordinates.

See you at 6 pm
