It took half a month to shake.

Zhao Zheng and others finally arrived at Shuqian City.

City gate.

Because Zhao Zheng deliberately notified him in advance.

At this moment, a large number of officials had gathered at the city gate.

Li Sheng, one of the targets of Zhao Zheng's trip, was naturally among them.

"I'm a humble rank, please pay my respects to Mr. Zhao!"

"Okay, okay, colleagues, please get up quickly!"

Zhao Zheng got out of the carriage, with a smile on his face, and helped Li Sheng up.

"Thank you, Lord Zhao!"

Li Sheng looked at Zhao Zheng and smiled, but he did not smile. Instead, his face was still serious.

"Master Li, you see that your colleagues behind you are all laughing, why aren't you smiling?"

"Is Dongshan Mansion too busy with official duties? Mr. Li, you should send more information to the Inspectorate."

Zhao Zheng patted Li Sheng's hand and said with sincere concern.

"Not busy, not busy."

When Li Sheng heard Zhao Zheng's concern, his eyelids twitched subconsciously.

"Mr. Zhao, you have been busy traveling and traveling, but you still care about official affairs at the first time. This makes me feel extremely ashamed. I am afraid that I have violated the teachings Liu Gong left us in the past."

"So I really can't laugh."

"Hahahaha, there are boats and carriages, but there is no fatigue. Along the way, I saw the great rivers and mountains of our Sun and Moon Dynasty, and I even felt at ease."

"On the other hand, Mr. Li, it turns out that you are still a disciple of Mr. Liu. It just so happens that I often go to Mr. Liu's house to answer questions. After all, we are still brothers in the same sect, hahaha!"

Zhao Zheng shook his head and made a little joke on the spot.

Everyone present finally laughed and expressed their agreement.

Then Zhao Zheng went directly to Shuqian City.

Passing through the city gate, you will see a bustling scene.

"Yeah!"

"Who is the magistrate of thousands of cities? How can he manage his subjects in such an orderly manner? In my opinion, even the prosperity of Yangzhou is nothing more than this."

Zhao Zheng finished speaking.

An official in the team behind him hurried forward and came to his side.

"Your subordinate, Luo Pan, just did his job. He absolutely cannot deserve such praise from Mr. Zhao."

Luo Pan, the magistrate of Shuqian City, had a smile on his face that was neither flattering nor flattering.

Zhao Zheng turned around and took a closer look at his collar, knowing that this guy was probably not an honest official.

However, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Zhixian Luo is too modest. Look at your underwear and collar. It's torn after washing, but you're still wearing it."

"Don't worry, when I return to Beijing, I will truthfully report your achievements in Luo County to His Majesty."

Hearing yourself seems like a reward.

Luo Pan's smile finally rose to a new level, allowing Zhao Zheng to see a different look.

"It is the duty of an official to be cautious and honest. To be praised by Mr. Zhao and Zhao Zuoshi makes the official feel happy."

"Master Zhao, hurry up and invite us here. The official has already prepared the local Hongze Lake fish feast for you."

Zhao Zheng nodded, and then he followed the footsteps of the Luo Zhixian with satisfaction.

A greedy fool emerged from a group of experts.

Things are easy to handle.

The Luo magistrate also always had a smile on his face.

But the expressions of his companions changed.

co-authored...

This Hongze Lake fish feast that was prepared a long time ago suddenly became your reward for Mr. Zhao’s praise from Luo County, the magistrate?

Isn’t this the preparation we all discussed together?

Among the crowd, Li Sheng, the inspector of Dongshan Prefecture, was the only one whose expression did not change.

Then, he was specially noted down by the Jin Yiwei who dressed up as an ordinary soldier of the Inspectorate.

It is actually a normal thing for someone to fall in love with someone from a lower official position.

After all, we are all human.

As long as it doesn't exceed the specifications, as long as it doesn't cross the bottom line.

Those are normal things.

And after.

When Luo Pan took Zhao Zheng to the restaurant where they were preparing a fish feast in Hongze Lake.

Zhao Zheng was even more satisfied.

Because this is a restaurant that looks ordinary and could not be more ordinary.

The signboard flags at the door are all white.

"Mr. Zhao, originally the county's finances were pretty good and we could support a better restaurant."

"But I think that Mr. Zhao, you are coming from the capital, and if you want to eat, you have to eat the most authentic Hongze Lake fish feast."

"This is the most authentic restaurant in the entire Thousand Trees City."

Luo Pan is indeed on his own territory.

His words immediately made everyone behind Zhao Zheng turn darker.

"This Luo Pan really wants to get promoted."

"Don't say it so loudly, just let him jump."

"Yes, we just want to live in peace and stability."

These careful exchanges between Dongshan Prefecture officials were conducted behind Zhao Zheng's back.

pity.

But it was in front of Jin Yiwei.

Swish swish!

[Facing Luo Pan’s attentiveness, all the officials at the scene, except Li Sheng, had different expressions. 】

……

"Come here, serve a fish feast!"

After entering the restaurant, it became the territory of Luo Pan, the magistrate of Qianshu County.

All the officials on the scene couldn't get a word in even if they wanted to.

Because the waiter of this restaurant directly asked people to carry live fish and came to them.

"This is……?"

Zhao Zheng had never seen such a formation before and looked at Luo Pan.

"Master Zhao doesn't know something."

"We have always had this rule when eating fish on the shores of Hongze Lake."

"It's called seeing the fish before serving it, so that you don't mix the fish with the fish."

"Even if many wealthy businessmen from the capital come to our shores of Hongze Lake, after seeing this kind of rarity, they will come here a second time even if they have a detour to eat in their spare time."

“This is called eating fish for its freshness. What’s fresher than live fish?”

Luo Pan explained this allusion clearly and logically.

"Hahaha, that's true, that's true!"

"Hahaha."

Seeing Zhao Zheng smile, all the officials present, even if they were unhappy, finally laughed again.

Wait until the fish feast is served.

Don't say it, really don't say it.

Everyone at the scene felt that the Hongze Lake fish feast seemed to be fresher than the fish in other places.

Except for two people.

Zhao Zheng and Li Sheng.

Because the two of them basically didn't use their chopsticks. Even if they did, they were eating other dishes.

"Master Zhao, why don't you eat fish? Is it because the type of fish is not to your liking?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. The fish in this fish feast are both spiny and spineless. We are close to the lake and fish are cheap. Whatever fish you like to eat can be cooked immediately."

As the county magistrate Luo Pan said, he waved to the waiter at the restaurant behind him.

The waiter immediately went downstairs to the wine storage area in a sensible manner.

"There must be no wine. That's just the right time. Here's your chance!"

That's what Luo Pan thought anyway.

"It's better not to spoil everyone's taste for now."

"But Mr. Li, why don't you eat either?"

Zhao Zheng did not directly answer Luo Pan's question. He had actually noticed that Li Sheng had not moved his chopsticks.

This man is interesting.

"Go back to Mr. Zhao. I don't want to disturb Mr. Zhao's interest."

"It's all because a few years ago, the lower official suffered from paralysis, and he really couldn't eat fish."

Li Sheng's reply sounded very embarrassing, but he seemed to have finished half of his words.

Zhao Zheng also fulfilled his wish and continued to ask, concern on his face.

"The paralysis you got years ago? What's going on? Is it serious?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just that I didn't know how to farm at first..."

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he was basically one color away from blushing, which was very different from his previous image.

The baton naturally fell to other officials around him.

"Master Zhao, you don't know."

"When Mr. Li came to Dongshan Mansion, he basically went to the fields every day to inspect production."

"It scared the hell out of all of us."

Li Sheng waited until they finished speaking, then quickly waved his hands, saying that he was just doing his job.

A patrolman showed a cautious attitude at this moment.

It's just a pity.

After more than ten years, Zhao Zheng has already got rid of his bad habit of having a high vision and being a teacher.

"Master Zhao, you don't have to worry about Xiaguan. This fish is so delicious that Xiaguan is actually greedy for it, but he has no choice but to eat it."

"But I have heard that the highlight of this Hongze Lake fish feast is the fish soup."

"Xiaguan's side is closer. If Mr. Zhao you don't want to eat fish, then just have a bowl of fish soup."

Li Sheng's successive steps quickly killed the wine Luo Pan asked the waiter to prepare.

But Zhao Zheng still shook his head.

"Master Zhao, what is...?"

All the officials at the scene stopped eating fish, feeling a little embarrassed.

Then, Zhao Zheng gave the answer.

"I don't eat fish."

"But it has nothing to do with your colleagues."

"When I see fish, I will think of how many villagers and rebels were floating in the water during the previous famine years."

"So everyone, please continue eating! I plan to go out and take a look at the scenery before going to the next place."

Zhao Zheng stood up and left with a smile on his face.

All the officials at the scene were different. They all turned into bitter gourds.

They held their chopsticks for a moment, wondering whether they should continue eating or not.

Du Li Sheng reacted the fastest and chased after him immediately.

"Comrades, please use it with caution. I couldn't get anything to eat but I was really greedy, so I went out to find another delicious food."

At this time Luo Pan also wanted to get up.

Then, he was pressed down by others.

"Hey! Mr. Luo! You can't leave. Without you, we won't be able to enjoy this fish feast."
