"I'll report it to you, and the lower-ranking official Lingqiu garrison asked for the Governor Xu."

Huang An stood outside the Governor's yamen gate and looked at the yamen runners at the gate with a smiling face.

"Governor of Lingqiu?" The yamen runner frowned.

Compared with those officials who came to see the governor, a Lingqiu garrison was not conspicuous. Although he was a fourth-rank general, he was not as powerful as the Lingqiu County Magistrate in the eyes of the yamen runners.

"Yes, yes." Huang An nodded repeatedly.

The yamen runner looked at him and said, "There are too many people who want to see the governor recently, so you can wait outside!"

Huang An turned around and looked behind him.

There are indeed many civil and military officials waiting outside the governor's office, and many carriages and sedan chairs have been parked nearby, and several horse-tie stakes are also tied up with horses.

He knew that these people were also here to ask for the governor, otherwise so many officials would not have gathered at the yamen, including many generals with higher rank than him.

"I'm sorry, can you report it? The subordinates do have important matters to meet the governor." Huang An bowed to the yamen runner in front of him.

The yamen runner said lightly: "Everyone who comes to meet the governor has important things. Everyone goes in to report. Should the governor still be busy with official duties? Let's wait! When will the governor be free, he will naturally summon you."

"There is really important things at the Xiaguan. I have to see the governor. I have to work hard and go in and report to the Xiaguan."

While speaking, Huang An took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the yamen runner's hand through his cuff.

The yamen runner who took the money weighed it with his hands, and he had about one or two taels. The stiff expression on his face eased a little, and he said, "Okay, you wait here, I'll go in and report it to you."

"Thank you." Huang An hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

The yamen runner turned around and walked towards the yamen.

At this time, Xu Tong was sitting in the back hall of the yamen, accompanied by Zhang Wen in the room.

The yamen runners naturally were not qualified to enter the back hall, but he brought the words to Xu Tong's Changsui.

"Master, the guard of Lingqiu said he had an urgent matter and asked for a meeting, and he was waiting outside the yamen."

Xu Tong frowned.

He naturally knew that Lingqiu's garrison was just a fourth-rank general and could not even be seen by him. Among the generals, the ones who could see him must be the genius generals or guard commanders who guarded a region.

"Sir," said Zhang Wenhe, "Lingqiu, Huang Shoujie, has always wanted to curry favor with you. Although he didn't do the last time, the tiger flag is in Lingqiu. Maybe he brought the tiger character this time.

The news about the flag was so the students thought they would still meet him."

Xu Tong twisted his beard and said, "I was busy dealing with impeachment before, and I didn't free up my hands to pack up the tiger flag. It's okay, let him come in!"

"Yes." Chang Sui agreed and retreated from the house.

Changsui did not ask someone to take a message outside the yamen, but went to pass the message himself.

"Who is the Lingqiu Guard?"

Standing on the stone steps at the entrance of the yamen, Changsui shouted.

Huang An hurriedly walked forward a few steps, held his fists and bowed, and said, "The lower official is Huang An, the governor. Can you ask if it is the governor summoned the lower official?"

Chang Sui did not speak immediately, but looked him up and down, and said in a faint tone: "You are just a fourth-rank guard. Originally, my master didn't plan to summon him, but I had a good talk. My master agreed to see him.

Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the lower official understands." Huang An took out a ingot of silver and stuffed it into his long-sai's hand.

This time the silver was not the kind of scattered silver that was given to the yamen runners, but the silver cast into silver ingots, which weighed five taels per ingot.

The eldest son put away the silver casually and said, "You are sensible, come with me!"

As he said that, he turned around and walked back to the governor's office.

Huang An hurriedly followed, following behind with one mistake.

With Chang Sui beside Xu Tong, Huang An followed carefully along the way and came to the back hall.

"Secretary Huang An, please pay homage to the governor." As he said that, Huang An knelt down and kowtowed.

If a civil servant of the fourth rank saw a second rank governor like Xu Tong, he naturally would not have to kneel down, even if he was a rank master, he would not have to kneel down.

But for generals, unless the general of a town comes to see the governor, as for other generals of the grade, they can only kneel down to salute when they see the governor.

Xu Tong picked up the cover bowl and took a sip of tea, then slowly said: "Get up!"

"Sir, Xie." Huang An stood up.

Zhang Wenhe, who was standing next to Xu Tong, said to Huang An: "Mr. Huang is so anxious to see the governor. What is the so-called matter!"

"Please save the official." As he said that, Huang An fell to the ground again.

Zhang Wenhe was stunned at first when he heard this, and then said, "Mr. Huang, if you have anything to say, even if the governor takes action to help you, you must know what happened."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, the lower officials were negligent." Huang An said, "When the lower officials heard the rumors, General Zhang wanted to transfer the lower officials from Lingqiu and take them to Tianchengwei as the commander-in-chief, and ask the governor to ask for the governor.

Adults help you get some officials.”

Zhang Wenhe said: "The commander and Lingqiu garrison are both fourth-ranked. You are also a general from Tianchengwei. It is not a bad thing to be able to return to Tianchengwei to serve."

Huang An said with a bitter face, "It's right that the lower official is going to go to Tianchengwei, but not the commander of Tianchengwei, but the commander of Zhenluwei. Now the commander of Zhenluwei has only one empty shell left.

After leaving the official, Tianchengwei may no longer be able to serve the court or the governor."

Zhenlu Wei was a garrison established between the Zuowei and the grasslands of Datong during the Hongwu period. During the Zhengtong period, it moved to Tiancheng Wei and only one name was retained.

The commander of Tiancheng Guard has always been the commander of Zhenlu Guard. The only military positions below the commander are left, and the official positions of Tiancheng Guard are left.

Zhang Wenhe looked at Xu Tong.

Xu Tong put down the cover of the bowl in his hand and asked, "Did you have received the official documents from the General's Office?"

Huang An shook his head and said, "Not yet, but the Bingbei Dao has agreed. As long as the Ministry of War agrees again, the subordinate will be transferred from Lingqiu to Tianchengwei."

"You are very informative," Xu Tong said, and then said, "Do you want me to go to the Ministry of War to clear your relationship and keep you in Lingqiu?"

Huang An bowed and said, "The lower official swears to follow the governor to the death. I also ask the governor to save the governor this time."

Zhang Wenhe, who was standing beside him, said: "Sir, Lingqiu is the old nest of the tiger flag. If Lord Huang went to Tianchengwei, it would be even more difficult for Liu Heng to deal with it."

Huang An hurriedly answered: "The official is willing to stay in Lingqiu for the Lord to stare at the tiger flag and Liu Heng in Lingqiu."

Xu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I will go to the Ministry of War to help you talk about the envy. You don't have to worry about this. Stay in Lingqiu with peace of mind and keep a close eye on the tiger flag for me."

"I thank you, Lord." Huang An was happy and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Okay, there's nothing to do!" Xu Tong picked up the cover bowl, didn't drink it, but just used the cup lid to dial the tea inside.

"Yes, the official is leaving."

Huang An stood up, bowed and retreated.

After he left, Xu Tong said to his eldest son: "Take this person's gift list and I will check it out."

Chang Sui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master, this Lord Huang has no gift list."

"So he came empty-handed?" Xu Tong's expression turned cold.

Changsui said, "When you say that, you really came empty-handed."
