A servant at the door smiled and said, "It would be a strange thing if he could know the princess with a person like him."

But another servant said, "I don't know which princess it is. Recently, many people claim to know the princess..." He suddenly stopped talking, and before he finished speaking, his face turned aside.

Yang Ze thought to himself: "Does anyone often claim to know a princess? It's really strange. It seems that the princess is quite worthless. Everyone can know it!"

The man in black was taken over by the officers and asked him to kneel in the yard. Yang Ze and others were invited into the wing room to wait. Soon, the county magistrate of Wannian County came out. The county magistrate was wearing casual clothes, not wearing a hat, and his hair was meticulously combed, and he didn't look like he had just gotten up from the bed.

Seeing that the Wannian County Magistrate was over fifty years old, Yang Ze took the initiative to stand up and bowed and smiled, "Yang Ze, the general of Zhechong of Ningbei Province, has seen the county magistrate."

"I dare not, General Yang is too polite. I am Ning Baotie, the magistrate of Wannian County. I wonder what is the price for General Yang to come here late at night?" Ning Baotie spoke neither salty nor lightly, nor did he show any special affection for Yang Ze, who is of the same level. He seemed a little impatient and wanted to send Yang Ze to leave quickly.

Yang Ze thought to himself: "Looking at his appearance, he probably met in the back house. He heard that I came over quickly. At this time, there must be something important to meet. I may be at the wrong time."

Yang Ze said: "It's nothing important. He mainly caught a small gangster and sent it to the county magistrate. Of course, the young general still wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the county magistrate and get close to each other. Don't you find any chance?" This was quite straightforward and had a sense of flattery. Ning Baotie felt very comfortable, thinking that Yang Ze spoke in a straightforward manner. He was a well-educated figure and was also a county magistrate in the capital. He not only knew how to be a human being, but also an official. Yang Ze said that he wanted to be close to him, so he guessed that Yang Ze might live in the capital for a long time. Maybe he was transferred to the capital to be an official, so he really had to be close. You use me and I use you in the future. This is the way to be an official.

Ning Baotie made a gesture of invitation and asked Yang Ze to sit down. He ordered the servants to bring tea. He smiled and said, "General Yang came from another place. Maybe he is not familiar with the affairs in our capital. For us, as long as the people have something to do, they can come to the yamen to meet officials at any time. However, the rules are dead and people live. Generally speaking, they do things during the day. Of course, General Yang is not an ordinary person. We hit it off again. If you have something to do, I will do it for you immediately!"

He glanced at the man in black who was kneeling in the yard and said, "For such a small matter, I asked the county magistrate to do it, so that General Yang would be satisfied. General Yang didn't have to worry about it. I just don't know where General Yang would stay after entering the capital. I'll go and visit him another day, choose a good restaurant, and let me fulfill my friendship with the landlord?"

Yang Ze was a little embarrassed. He said a few words. According to his meaning, this is to drive me away. You can get close to each other. But it won’t work tonight, it will take another day. That’s right, it’s so late, maybe this old county priest has any nightlife!

He said: "The young general lives in the Military Affairs Office of the Ministry of War. There is a barracks there, and the young general lives in the dormitory of the barracks. How can you let Lord Ning go to the young general? It is better to wait for the young general to come and visit again the young general. The young general is the host. Please be sure to enjoy the glory!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome. You're not here to see you! Okay, let's talk about it another day. It's a great pleasure to know a young hero like General Yang!" Ning Bao said insincerely, then stood up and acted as a look of seeing off the guests.

Yang Ze had no choice but to take Fu Bingrong and others to leave Wannian County Government. Ning Baotie left the gate and then hurried back.

After leaving the door and not far, Tan Zhengwen said, "Before I took a sip of tea, I came out. People in the capital are just not enthusiastic. Master, you are putting your face on your cold butt, and you don't get close to someone else!"

Yang Ze said: "We came too late. It was midnight and we didn't mention the gifts. Of course, they were unwilling to deal with it!"

Fu Bingrong smiled and said, "What's more, we're here to complain, which is even more annoying."

Mu Gen said: "Then should we go to Zhuque Street to have fun?"

Yang Ze said: "What else can I do? Go back to sleep. If you have to play and wait for the future, we won't just stay in Beijing for a day or two."

Yan Chenghou said, "I wonder how that old man will deal with the gangster, and will he let it go directly?"

Everyone shook their heads and said, "No, of course not, how is this possible!"

Tan Zhengwen looked very experienced in the officialdom and sweared: "Of course it is impossible to let go. No matter what, the county magistrate named Ning must give our master a face. He beat that guy up and then caught that grandson. Only in this way can he give an explanation if he sees our master again!"

Everyone nodded together, and Yang Ze also felt that this should be the case. In the officialdom, people are carrying people in flower sedan chairs, but they are just dealing with some small gangsters. How could the magistrate Ning not give him a face as a general? Such a small face should still be given, and if he had to do so, he would have given it.

In the large courtyard of the county government, Ning Baotie did not go back to the back house immediately, but looked at the man in black kneeling in the courtyard. The man in black was sweating all over. When the night wind blew, he shivered, raised his face, and trembled with a trembling voice: "County, county master, the youngest is Mr. Chuang... No, Xiao Chuang's brother, who is seeking life on Zhuque Street, never dares to lose his monthly filial piety..."

Ning Baotie nodded and waved his hand: "Let's go, be careful in the future and don't let that general meet again. At that time, I will not be able to protect you again!" After that, he put his hands behind his back and returned to the back house.

The man in black quickly kowtowed, got up, and rolled out of the yamen. At the door, he saw the servants, and hurriedly straightened his waist again, and smiled proudly: "Dear men, the villain said that the villain is a princess, how about it? Isn't it okay to come out!"

The officers frowned together, and one officer shouted: "Get out of your eggs. If you dare to talk too much, carefully break your legs and see if the princess can come to save you!"

The man in black was startled. It would be better to be in charge of the current officials. He really didn't dare to offend these servants. He hurriedly fled in panic. When he walked out of this street and arrived at a place where the servants could not see him, he spat and continued to say proudly: "A group of bastards, when grandpa becomes prosperous in the future, it's not too late to deal with you again, and there is no hurry!" He rubbed his body and was beaten, grinned, scolded Yang Ze and the others, and then left.

Ning Baotie returned to the back house. There was a person waiting in his room. He was a literati in his thirties. He was pretty and had a beautiful beard. He was closing his eyes to rest. He heard the footsteps. The literati opened his eyes and said, "Mr. Ning, have you finished dealing with the previous matter?"

Ning Baotie nodded, sat down, and said, "Mr. Dong, it's not that I am ignorant of the ruling, but I can't agree to Lord Qi. Although the ruling is a county magistrate of Wannian, he has no real power in the capital. No one can afford to offend him. The ruling is really powerless to do anything about the wealth required by Lord Qi. I hope Lord Dong will forgive him and explain it to Lord Qi."

The middle-aged literati was named Dong Shichang. He served as a lieutenant in the Ministry of Works, which was an official like Li Bozhi. However, he was much more glorious than Li Bozhi. He was the confidant of Qi Xianzhong, the Minister of Works. He was not as glorious as Qi Xianzhong's external contact person. Generally, there were some things, especially private matters, which were all by Dong Shichang for Qi Xianzhong.

This time, Dong Shichang came to see Ning Baotie in the middle of the night to win over the Wannian County Magistrate. Dong Shichang is Qi Xianzhong's confidant, and Qi Xianzhong is also the confidant of Princess Yong'an. Princess Yong'an is one of the daughters of the queen, but not the best one. She herself knows that she will not become the so-called "female prince". No matter how much the most outstanding sister, even if there are several sisters of similar level to her, it is not her turn to be the prince, so she has lost her political thoughts and is devoted to making money. Among the sisters, she is a typical representative of the famous "Little Sister, I only love wealth."

It is precisely because of this that although other princesses had a fierce battle, they did not target her, especially the princess who wanted to be the princess, who was even more kind to her. When Princess Yong'an encountered something unfair, she would help her. Overall, Princess Yong'an was doing well in the palace.

Princess Yong'an wanted wealth and not only had to go to the upper level, but even if she was a grassroots official, she wanted to win over the county magistrate Wannian was a local tyrant among the local tyrants. Of course, she wanted to win over it, but naturally she could not come forward in person, so she asked Qi Xianzhong to do this. As the Minister of the House, Qi Xianzhong also had to take into account his identity, so he sent Dong Shichang to come. It was difficult to show up during the day, so he came to the evening.

When Dong Shichang heard Ning Baotou reject it, he was a little impatient. He talked for a while and did not convince Ning Baotou. Not only did he feel a little frustrated, but he also felt that Ning Baotou was ungrateful.

Dong Shichang said: "Didn't I say that you are asking you to submit a memorial to impeach an official? Our Lord Qi and the one behind him never do such things. In everything, harmony is the most important thing. Good luck makes money. Others like to fight, that is the other person's business. We don't have that leisure time. Lord Qi means that if there is something, you need Lord Ning, you don't refuse. If you help Lord Qi, that is, the one behind him, don't say it!"

Ning Baotie, as a local official, has been a position as a county magistrate in the capital, so he is naturally a person who is unstoppable. How could he agree to such a thing? If more people win over him, even if he wants to surrender, he will only seek to seek a promising person. If he only accepts money but has no future, he will not be so stupid!

Ning Baotie had a serious expression and said, "I have heard a little about who is behind Lord Qi. I guess it is Princess Yong'an! In fact, the princess wanted to help me when I have something to do. I am really flattered and willing to help. To be honest, I helped the princess a favor just now and offended a general because of this. I am afraid that I will suffer revenge from that general. Alas, I have helped this very much, and I have tried my best, but if I ask my official to help me, I am afraid that I will lack strength and will never be able to help again!"
