The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 523

[Chapter 523 Are you worthy?]

When Fang Xiu heard this question, he was also a little confused and asked: “What?”

Zhao Yan leaned forward and observed carefully, as if he understood something, and said slightly reproachfully: “You keep looking like this “My eyes are going blind.”

Only then did Fang Xiu realize that his eyes were probably more bloodshot.

When I was still studying, especially when I was preparing for high school exams, it would not be a problem to read a book all day long.

It’s just that I have lived a comfortable life for too long, and I no longer have the same spirit as before.

After just three or four hours of watching, I felt a little dizzy and wanted to come back and take a rest.

“Have you been waiting for me here?”

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and asked curiously.

Zhao Yan’s pretty face blushed slightly and she replied: “I have been outside just now. I thought I would come back soon after eating.”

Generally speaking, she would not tell lies.

If you lie, your pretty face will turn red and your eyes will dodge.

Fang Xiu only took one look and realized that she was not waiting for him here, but just happened to arrive in front of the house with him.

Zhao Yan obviously did not expect that Fang Xiu would stay in the government office for so long looking at files and documents, and she looked very ashamed.

He lowered his head and said nothing.

Fang Xiu didn’t take this matter to heart. He just asked a few questions casually, then turned and walked into Shangguan Mansion.

Before he took a few steps, he saw Shangguan Hongzhi walking towards him.

“Brother Fang, Miss Zhao, where have you been?”

Shangguan Hongzhi walked up to him, looking a little anxious, and asked.

Judging from his appearance, he must have been looking for him outside the city for a long time and had just returned home.

Fang Xiu looked at him, thought for a while, and said, “I didn’t go anywhere. I just wandered around Duming City for a while.”

“Wandering?”

Shangguan Hongzhi had a suspicious expression on his face and asked, “I was here before. I’ve been in Du Ming’s house all this time, why haven’t I seen you?”

At this point, he stopped abruptly, obviously realizing that he was hiding something he didn’t want to tell him.

So, he changed the subject and said: “By the way, I heard that some kind of inspector came here recently to inspect the three Central Plains roads on behalf of the emperor.

I estimate that there will be no peace these days. If Brother Fang and Miss Zhao have nothing important to do, It’s best not to go out and hang out during this period.”

Shangguan Hongzhi’s tone gradually dropped in the second half of his sentence.

Because he saw someone who shouldn’t be here.

“Master Registrar, you”

Shangguan Hongzhi asked subconsciously as he looked at the middle-aged man standing behind Fang Xiu with his head lowered and silent. The expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.

Although he asked, there was already a guess in his heart.

In the entire Du Ming Mansion, there is only one person who can make the Registrar stand behind him. There is no doubt that it is the parent officer of the Mansion – the Magistrate!

But

at this moment, he was standing behind Brother Fang.

Combined with the rumors I heard.

So he said,

“Fang, Brother Fang, are you the Inspector from the capital?”

Shangguan Hongzhi looked at Fang Xiu who was standing in front of him with a look of surprise on his face.

Fang Xiu nodded and said, “It’s too much to inspect on behalf of the emperor. I’m just acting according to your majesty’s orders.”

“”

Shangguan Hongzhi wanted to say something, but felt that his throat was extremely dry. Suddenly, he said Speechless.

The person in front of me is actually the same rank as Lord Jiedushi, and even more powerful than Lord Jiedushi?

It was obviously just a passerby I met by chance in a teahouse. I originally thought he was an arrester from a government office in Gyeonggi Province or the four northern states. How come he suddenly turned into an inspector with less than 30,000 people in the Central Plains? grown ups?

The instant impact caused by the contrast between before and after made Shangguan Hongzhi not sure how to face it.

After pausing for a moment, he seemed to have remembered something. He hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, and said, “Student Shangguan Hongzhi has met the Inspector!

The student did not know the identity of the Lord before. I am very offended. Please forgive me!”

Shangguan !

Although Hongzhi did not pass the examination, he still had the status of a scholar. It was normal for him to call himself a student in front of Fang Xiu.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he suddenly felt a headache. He waved his hand and said: “It was already annoying enough to read the files just now, so don’t bother me here anymore.

Is there anything delicious? Get some for me. I’ll spend the whole day No food.”

When Shangguan Hongzhi heard this, he immediately felt extremely friendly. Although the Brother Fang in front of him was the most powerful Inspector, he was still the same Brother Fang who laughed and scolded him in the teahouse.

So, he said hurriedly: “Yes, of course there is. The most indispensable thing in our Du Ming Mansion is delicious food, date cakes, donkey rolling, and fire.

” Let’s see how much it is.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said.

“Okay, Mr. Inspector.”

After saying this, Fang Xiu frowned and hurriedly changed his words: “No, Brother Fang, I will let them prepare a fire for you!”

Fang Xiu nodded and then Returned to his cabin.

The two pro-military guards naturally followed closely.

Even in the capital, on weekdays, there were people protecting Fang Xiu’s courtyard.

Especially after what happened with Liu Qing.

“Sir,”

the chief clerk stood behind Fang Xiu, looking at the steaming fire on the table, swallowing his saliva, and couldn’t help but speak.

Fang Xiu looked back at him and said calmly: “Want to eat?”

The chief clerk nodded hurriedly.

From just now to now, five or six hours have passed, and he has not drank a sip of water or eaten a sip of food.

At this moment, my eyes were already filled with stars, and I could hardly speak.

Fang Xiu turned his head, continued to look at the documents in front of him, and said calmly: “In this Du Ming Mansion, with such a fire, there are thousands of people who want to eat, but they can’t even see them.

Do you want to eat?

Ask yourself, do you deserve it?”

When the head clerk heard this, he immediately stopped extending his hand, and then retracted it.

After spending half a day together, he already had some understanding of this Lord Inspector.

One thing is certain, that is, the Lord Inspector is not as unreasonable as he first appeared.

I have stood here for such a long time and have to answer questions at any time. It can be said that life is worse than death in the true sense!

The suffering he suffered now was the blessing he enjoyed before, his hunger now, and

his choice of

feast in the future . He knew it in his heart.

Of course, in a sense, he does not have the power to choose.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied: “My lord, I am not worthy of being a lower-ranking official.”
