But Fu Xie had a dull expression. The world has its own rules, and everyone is within the rules. It seems that the law of the jungle eats the strong. You saved the sheep, but the wolf starved to death.

There was nothing to be angry about in the scene before him, it was just whether he was on the side of the sheep or the side of the wolf, and who was the opposite.

When a government officer saw a few people, he walked over. Before anyone came near, he scolded: "Why are you staying here in this important prison place?"

Gu Yuling was actually in the mood of watching a good show. He revealed his identity and immediately scared you, the little government servant, to death.

Xie Fu took the initiative to greet him and said hello flatteringly: "Master Chao." After saying that, he secretly handed over a piece of silver as a greeting gift.

When this government official saw that the money was about twenty taels, his eyes almost bulged out. You must know that their monthly salary was only 600 yuan, which was not much more than a waiter in a shop.

Of course, guarding a prison can be regarded as a lucrative job, but excluding filial piety, the monthly income is only three to five hundred yuan.

"Master, please do something."

But the officer pushed Xie Fu's hand back with a very kind expression: "Young Master, you're welcome. Please tell me if you have anything to say."

It's not that this government official is not greedy, but he just doesn't dare to accept it.

There is no other reason. As the saying goes, using people's money to eliminate disasters, and spending so generously, things must be very difficult.

When Fu Xie saw that the servant refused to put it away, he was surprised. He has such a big appetite that even two taels of silver can't feed you.

He handed over five taels of silver in exchange for ingots, and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, please make it convenient for me."

The yamen officer gasped when he saw it. He felt that the things this young master had to do must be very big, so he said respectfully: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and ask our leader to come over."

As if he had become Xie Fu's slave, he left quickly and went to report.

Only then did Gu Yuling walk up to Xie Fu and sarcastically said, "This is what you call connections."

Xie Fu said with a smile: "Yes, money is the best connection and the strongest friendship."

Xie Fu had this realization thanks to Tantai Heqing, and he did experience a lot of conveniences. When people live in this world, they can't be stubborn, and they need to be flexible when they need to be flexible.

Gu Yuling snorted: "To be so flattering to a government servant, I look down on you."

Xie Fu chuckled: "Why are you looking down on me?"

Gu Yuling said in a low voice: "You, a dignified military envoy of Huainan Province, want to please a government servant. You, a second-rank official, are in vain."

Xie Fu smiled: "That's it."

"Auntie, it's a trivial matter. Why use my identity? Others will think something big happened when they see it. Besides, it's said that there are paths for rats and snakes, so wouldn't it be convenient to do things like this?"

Another reason Xie Fu didn't say was that his official position was too high and too sensitive. Zhongzhou was not under his jurisdiction. His sudden appearance here would inevitably arouse the suspicion of some forces.

As he spoke, the yamen servant just now led another middle-aged yamen servant towards this side. The two of them walked quickly, as if welcoming the arrival of their boss.

Xie Fu smiled at Gu Yuling and said, "Auntie, study hard with my sister-in-law."

After all, Gu Yuling was a woman, and it was inconvenient for her to have contact with these three religions, so she took a few steps away.

As the two approached, Xie Fu took the initiative to greet him: "Master Cha."

The middle-aged government official said respectfully: "I don't dare. My surname is Hu, and I am the second eldest son in the family. You can just call me Hu Er."

Strictly speaking, county and county yamen servants are not officials. They are on-duty personnel recruited by the yamen themselves. The court does not pay them salaries, and the county yamen raises and distributes them themselves.

These strong men who guard the prisons are even classified as untouchables.

And these generous nobles are basically half of their parents. Being able to get to know these nobles and even establish relationships with them will be of great benefit and no harm to them. Of course, it is even less likely to offend them for no reason.

Xie Fu was always polite: "Brother Hu, I have something to ask you for help?" He said and handed over the money.

The middle-aged government official glanced at the weight of the silver, but still did not dare to accept it: "Young Master, you are so polite. May I ask what I call you?"

"My surname is Xie."

The offer was only five taels of silver, so it was a big deal. This middle-aged government official also wanted to help so that he could get to know Mr. Xie, so he said, "I condescend to let Mr. Xie stand. Why don't you move and sit down."

"No need, it's just a small matter."

The middle-aged yamen officer thought in his heart, "The small things you nobles talk about are big things that I can't handle."

"Master Xie, please tell me, if Hu Er can't handle it, I might as well help Master Xie as the leader."

"It's like this. A few days ago, a fool came to the Yamen to beat the drum and complain. This person is my friend, and I asked Brother Hu to make it easier for me."

"Thank you, Master, for the details."

So Xie Fu told the story about Song Huaizhang.

After hearing this, the young yamen officer immediately said: "Head, that's the crazy scholar who said he was the prince of the Imperial Academy offering sacrifices to the young master of the restaurant."

The middle-aged yamen officer glanced at Xie Fu and felt a shiver in his heart. Could it be that he was really the young master from the Imperial College Temple Restaurant? How could the young master from the Imperial College Temple Restaurant come to Weizhou? Thinking back to the man's ragged clothes, he probably wasn't.
