There are many officials waiting to see the governor outside the gate of the governor's yamen every day.

However, a large part of these officials are not qualified to meet the governor directly, nor will they be summoned by the governor, otherwise the governor would not have enough time to meet these people every day and would not have time to do other things.

Most officials who come to the Governor's Office just come to try their luck, hoping to see the Governor or give the Governor a little impression of him, so they are not considered to be out of the Governor's Office.

Usually, there are only a few officials who go back and forth outside the governor's yamen, all of whom are familiar faces. Generally, officials with real power will not come here without any matter, unless there is something important or are summoned by the governor.

But in the past few days, more and more officials were waiting outside the gate of the governor's yamen, many of whom were magistrates and magistrates from various prefectures and counties, as well as officials from garrison offices.

Step! Step! Step! Step!

A horse team galloped in the distance.

The officials waiting outside the gate of the governor's yamen avoided them.

All the riders in the horse team were holding weapons, wearing armor and iron helmets. Only the leader wore a long gown and a square scarf, looking like a scholar.

The man dressed like a scholar jumped off the horse's back, handed the reins to his subordinates, and walked towards the steps in front of the yamen.

Upon climbing the steps, the man bowed to the yamen runner at the yamen gate and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, brother, please report it, this is a reply."

As he said that, he took out the reply from his cuff and handed it over.

The yamen runner did not receive the reply, but looked at him and said in a cold tone: "I didn't see that such adults outside the yamen are waiting to see the governor. Go to the back line and talk about it when it's your turn."

"Brother, I do have an urgent matter, I have to work hard once." He stuffed a piece of silver into the hands of the yamen runner in front of him.

The yamen runner who received the money had a smile on his face and said in a faint tone: "I just think you have something urgent. Who made me feel soft-hearted? Come on the post!"

"I'm working hard." He handed the post again.

This time the yamen runner did not refuse, and put away the prayer letter and said, "You are waiting here, I will report it to you. As for whether the lord will see you, I can't guarantee it."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." He bowed to the yamen runners.

The yamen runner turned around and walked into the yamen.

Among the officials outside the governor's yamen, many people looked at the people standing at the yamen, and occasionally glanced at the cavalry team brought by the other party.

An official whispered: "It looks extraordinary! Lord Wang, do you know them? Which general is the subordinate?"

The man named Wang came from Bingbeidao. He stroked the beard on his chin and said confidently: "I heard that a large army of Northern Gate came from Xinpingbao not long ago. These people should be

The person sent by General Li Shen of Xinpingbao."

"Well, it makes sense. These people are obviously elite soldiers in the army. Everyone is wearing armor. They should be the servants of General Li Shen." The man next to him nodded and agreed.

At this time, a civil servant wearing a seventh-grade green robe standing behind the two people whispered: "Don't say anything, these people are not from the general's mansion, they are raised by the Lingqiu tiger flag.

Private soldiers.”

As soon as he said this, the few people around him immediately became quiet.

After a while, the Lord Wang said thoughtfully: "I heard people talk about the tiger-shaped flag hidden private soldiers. Now it seems that I am afraid that such a traitor is really happening."

"These people with the tiger flag are so bold. They dare to appear outside the governor's yamen in a noble manner. In my opinion, they should be taken down immediately and put in prison." The person next to him said with a serious face.

The seventh-rank civil servant said, "You two, please say less. You are really not as good as us when you hear these killing stars."

"What? They still dare to kill the imperial court officials on the streets." The king's face darkened.

The seventh-rank civil servant advised: "Mr. Wang, you should say less. These people are here to meet the governor. If they and the governor are rude, it will be enough for us to bear it."

The Lord Wang opened his mouth, and when he thought of it being related to the governor, he had to shut up.

He came to the Governor's yamen to leave a good impression on the Governor. When he was promoted in the future, he would be remembered by the Governor. Naturally, he did not want to be evil because of a tiger-shaped flag.

Zhao Yutu stood motionless on the stone steps, holding his hands in his cuffs.

It took not long for me to go in and report the yamen runners came out.

Zhao Yutu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, please do you agree with the governor?"

The yamen runner handed the letter of worship back and said, "Please go back, the governor will not see the guests."

"Not seeing a guest?" Zhao Yutu frowned.

He didn't expect that Governor Liu would not even meet him and returned the visitor book directly. This was impossible in the past.

"What? Do you think I'm lying to you?" The yamen runner's face darkened.

After Zhao Yutu noticed, he hurriedly said, "The messenger brother misunderstood. I don't have this meaning, but I really have urgent matters to see the governor. Can the messenger brother go in and report it again? It's a good idea."

As he said that, he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the servant's hand again.

The yamen runner took over the money, but did not accept the greetings, but said, "I won't send the greetings. The lord will definitely not see you, and the words have been passed down. Anyone with the tiger flag will not be seen.

”

Zhao Yutu frowned when he heard the yamen runner's words.

He understood that Governor Liu wanted to clear his relationship with them and did not want to have any contacts again.

However, he knew that he had to meet this Governor Liu and had some words to say in person.

But now Governor Liu obviously doesn't want to see the people with the tiger flag, and he can't lead people to break in. If time goes on, it will become increasingly unfavorable to their tiger flag.

The yamen runner looked at Zhao Yutu and said, "Okay, don't block here, go back!"

Zhao Yutu glanced at the yamen behind the yamen runners and knew that it would be useless for him to stay here. Even if the yamen runners go in and pass on the message, as long as Governor Liu does not change his mind, he will not see anyone with the tiger flag.

Thinking of this, he stopped entangling the yamen runners and turned around and walked down the stone steps.

Several officials not far away saw the person with the tiger flag being blocked back. Among them, the Lord Wang sneered: "This time the matter of the tiger flag has become a big deal. The governor doesn't even see them now.

I believe that this tiger flag will be cleaned up by the governor in not long before."

The governor's yamen blocked the tiger flag outside the door, which is a signal for many people.

An official next to him said, "Not necessarily, don't forget that when Governor Xu was still there, he also wanted to deal with the tiger flag, but he didn't succeed in the end."

"This time is different from that time." The seventh-rank civil servant shook his head slightly and then said, "Xu Tong wanted to deal with the tiger flag, but there was no reasonable evidence. But this time, the tiger flag hidden private soldiers.

The matter has been known to everyone, and there is enough reason to deal with the tiger flag."

Several people next to him nodded in agreement.
