Wu Penghui rushed to the city gate with a quick horse. Seeing Li Rizhi and others, he immediately jumped off his horse, strode forward, clasped his fists at Li Rizhi and said, "Is this the Inspector Li? I have long admired Daming, I'm lucky to be happy!"

He is thoughtful and gentle, and he gives people a great first impression.

However, there was an obvious loophole in his words. How could he know that Li Rizhi's surname was Li?

When Li Rizhi was at the gate of the city, he did not report his name. He only said that he was the supervisory envoy sent by the Secretariat. Because his dispatch was held in the Secretariat, it was not wrong to say that he was sent by the Secretariat, and it was more formal than the queen.

But Li Rizhi didn't say that his surname was Li!

Now Wu Penghui opened his mouth and called him Supervisor Li. What's going on? Someone in the state must have informed him, and he used the fastest speed to inform him. You must know that Li Rizhi and the others are not going slowly. If you want to surpass them, you must have come to report the news day and night.

Who can take the Supervisor seriously? The most important thing is to know the Supervisor arrives as soon as possible? That must be an official who committed the incident, otherwise why bother so much energy!

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "This man has an accomplice in the Yanzhou government. He must have a problem, and the problem is not small. I have to be careful. Could Zhen Mengde be his accomplice? It's not certain!"

When he had suspicion in his heart, he naturally could not show his true thoughts. Li Rizhi's face immediately filled with a smile and said, "If you are lucky, the magistrate of Wu County went out of the city to greet him, this is really a killing of my official!" He bowed and returned a bow.

He is of the same rank as Wu Penghui and comes from Beijing, so he has an advantage in terms of identity compared to Wu Penghui. It doesn’t matter if he is more intimate, but if he is respectful, there is no need for this.

Li Rizhi knew Wu Penghui's resume, but Wu Penghui shouldn't have known Li Rizhi. First, Li Rizhi is a new Jinshi and has no resume to promote everywhere. Second, after he became the supervisor, he did not inspect everywhere with great fanfare, so naturally no officials would study him. Even if he wanted to study, there would be no time left.

Li Rizhi could figure it out, and Fu Guibao and the others could figure it out, but it was not a difficult thing to understand, so they all quietly took two steps back and distanced themselves from Li Rizhi so that Wu Penghui would not want to know them, and he would not force Li Rizhi to introduce it, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Wu Pengju just glanced at them, but did not ask Li Rizhi to introduce him. He seemed to have forgotten that he did not introduce his county officials to Li Rizhi. It is rare for the meeting between officials to simplify it to this point.

Wu Penghui smiled and said, "Inspector Li, let's go to the city now. I have prepared a banquet in the county government to welcome you. The banquet is crude. I hope the Inspector Li will not dislike you!"

Li Rizhi hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu County is so polite!"

Everyone got on the horse and followed Wu Penghui into the city. After walking along the avenue for a short time, they entered the county government. However, there was no banquet for food and food in the county government, and it was obvious that they had not prepared yet. Wu Penghui just said a kind word.

Wu Penghui invited Li Rizhi into the second hall, and the guest and hosted the guests and took a few words of politeness. After a few words of politeness, Wu Penghui said, "Inspector Li is a person who has made a difference. Why did he come to Bocheng County this time? Is it because of the Emperor and the Empress Taishan Fengshan?"

This is no secret. Li Rizhi nodded and said, "That's true, but along the way, the road is very calm, so even if I want to do something, I can't really do anything!"

Wu Penghui was slightly stunned and said, "If the road is not peaceful, then will Supervisor Li make a difference?"

This sounds like a question, with a look of finding fault, but from the expression on his face, he really didn't make things difficult for Li Rizhi. He wanted to ask the so-called questioning, just asking questions, that's all.

Li Rizhi smiled and said, "If the road is not peaceful, there will naturally be a loud horse. I can help local parents to suppress bandits, eliminate those violent horses that do evil, and make some small contributions!"

Wu Penghui said a few times and then remained silent, as if he was worried. Li Rizhi saw that he didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything. Now he felt that something was wrong with Wu Penghui. It was very likely that the county magistrate and Xiangma were in contact, and it might be possible to collude with some ill-gotten fortune.

It is not uncommon for officials and bandits to collude with each other.

After a while, Wu Penghui spoke again. He said, "Inspector Li is here to check the account book. This time, the emperor and the empress come to Fengshan, and the materials and expenses are required in Bocheng County. After all, the emperor and the empress have to go up the mountain from here. There are too many property and too many accounts. There is a box of accounts alone. Will the inspector Li want to check it out now?"

Li Rizhi frowned slightly and thought to himself: "I don't care about the matter of checking the accounts. Even if I have to check the accounts, I have to put the accounts in the state and the accounts in the county together. What's the use of just checking the accounts in the county? Give me a fake one. I have no comparison. If you want to find the problem, even if it takes less than half a month, five or six days will always be needed. How can I have so much time?"

He thought so in his heart, but Li Rizhi said, "I am a little hungry, so I will fill my stomach first. It's not too late to talk about the matter of checking the accounts at night."

After hearing this, Wu Penghui came to his senses. He felt a little out of control just now, and immediately became enthusiastic and took Li Rizhi to the backyard. At this time, the food and food were already in place, very rich and exquisite, almost comparable to the famous restaurant in Chang'an.

Wu Penghui smiled with a glass of wine and said, "Because we are going to welcome the boss, I specially hired the best chef from Luoyang. At that time, we will cook for the emperor. In order to test the chef's skills, we will try the wine and food for the emperor first. We have to eat it before we can give it to the emperor. There are also plates and bowls. Look, they are all the best. These are presented by the rich families in the county, which is their filial piety to the emperor!"

When Li Rizhi heard this, his scalp was numb and thought to himself: "Oh, a bad thing. This Wu Penghui is definitely not from a Jinshi, and he may not even be a real official!"

Wu Penghui's words sounded quite reasonable. If ordinary people talked, that's what they mean. For example, if you invite a good chef to your elders at home, or if you want to take your elders out for dinner, the younger generation will go to the restaurant in advance. Whether the dishes in the restaurant are good, please try it in advance. This is nothing wrong!

But the emperor always brings the imperial chef when he goes out, and he buys meals for the emperor. Not all chefs can do it. Even if a chef in a certain place has good dishes, he must first teach the imperial chef and then let the imperial chef make it for the emperor.

In addition, tableware should be used for royal purposes and will not be presented casually in places. Gifts offered in places should generally be put away first. There is a record of entry and exit, and will not be used directly for the emperor. Just like a joke, I thought that the emperor would have to share a table with food and wine in the village, and then bring his own rice bowl and chopsticks. This idea is too folk!

Although such rules may not be truly implemented all the time, it is one thing to abide by the rules or not, and it is another thing to know whether you have such rules!
