I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Feeling uneasy, Tian Wen ran to the gate in a hurry.

Jiang Yuan, dressed in a white robe, looked at Tian Wen with a smile: "Governor, how are you?"

Tian Wen's nervousness disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of impatience.

"Jiang Yuan? What happened to you? You left the area without permission again. Don't you know that this is against the rules?"

Jiang Yuan curled his lips, took two steps calmly, and revealed Lao Bai behind him.

Old Bai, who habitually hunched his back, suddenly straightened his chest.

"Haha! Your Excellency, Governor, I am honored to meet you."

Tian Wen frowned slightly: "Jiang Yuan, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands helplessly. Logically speaking, the county magistrate did need to report in advance if he wanted to leave his jurisdiction.

But when they set off, Lao Bai waved his hand, not taking it seriously at all, and said it wouldn't be too late to talk about it when they arrived in Luoyun City.

"Sir Governor, I need to go to the imperial capital. I hope you can approve my memorial."

Tian Wen looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion: "You, going to the imperial capital? On official business?"

"No." Jiang Yuan said honestly.

"Since you don't have it, just go back quickly. It's not approved. This is against the rules." Tian Wen said unhappily.

Jiang Yuan shrugged and looked at Lao Bai.

"Tian Wen, it was me who asked him to go." Lao Bai said lightly.

"Who are you?" Tian Wen's face darkened. Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you are old.

Lao Bai suddenly threw out a token from his arms, so that Jiang Yuan couldn't see it clearly. Tian Wen, who was holding the token in both hands, began to tremble back and forth.

"Is it hot?" Jiang Yuan asked for some unknown reason.

"Bye, hello..."

Tian Wen was about to salute when Lao Bai waved his sleeves and said, "Forget it."

Tian Wen immediately stood up tremblingly, feeling a dry mouth.

The Shangshu Ling, a powerful official of the first rank, killing him is as easy as killing an ant.

How could such a person come here in person and hang out with Jiang Yuan?

Is this fucking legal?

Jiang Yuan, who had taken several sneak peeks, was also dumbfounded. There were four big words clearly written on the token.

Secretary of the Ministry of Finance!

Damn it.

In the current situation where Daduan has been at war for years, the Ministry of Revenue is second only to the Ministry of War among the six ministers. Is Lao Bai the Minister of Revenue?

Jiang Yuan looked at Lao Bai in disbelief. According to Wang Gang's words, he had already remembered what happened that year.

His father was the governor of the Central Region, which sounds very powerful at first, but it depends on who he is compared with. He may be able to scare people of Tian Wen's level.

But in front of Walter White, it was nothing.

The Minister of Revenue was a real big shot who had risen to the center of the imperial court.

Could it be that the Bai family has developed to this level in the past few decades?

Just when Jiang Yuan was shocked, Bai Jingyun came over and said, "Don't be surprised, it's borrowed. The eldest in our family is an imperial censor."

Jiang Yuan immediately cursed in his heart, damn it, the Censor, he was also a second-rank official, there was no difference to him.

They are all big shots who are at the top of the world.

"Governor Tian, ​​I now want Jiang Yuan to go to Beijing with me. If it goes against the rules, then let's follow my rules." Lao Bai said slowly.

Tian Wen quickly bowed, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"As your Excellency says, I will approve the memorial immediately."

Under Lao Bai's tyranny, it took less than ten minutes from the time Tian Wen left to the time he received the memorial. Jiang Yuan looked at the memorial in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. This was the difference in status.

The group did not stay in Luoyun City, but directly chartered a boat to the imperial capital.

The boat was not small, more than ten meters long. The waterway they chose was a big river called Qianlong River. It was said that someone had seen a dragon in the river, hence the name.

Before getting on the boat, Jiang Yuan dismissed it.

After getting on the boat, Jiang Yuan said nothing, and with a pale face, he crawled into the cabin. He had never been on a boat in his life, and from the first day on board, he stayed in the room vomiting and having diarrhea.

Wang Gang was not much better off, but Zhao Kai was not affected at all and was happily looking at the map all day long.

It was not until seven days later that Jiang Yuan finally calmed down and gradually adapted to life on the boat.

"Finally, I can eat something." Jiang Yuan looked a little weak as he held a bowl of fish soup.

"My lord, you can't stay in the cabin all the time. You need to go out and get some fresh air so that you can adapt quickly!"

Encouraged by Zhao Kai, Jiang Yuan and the others finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the cabin.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath. The air was unusually humid. Fortunately, the weather was good today. Lao Bai was fishing by the boat, and Bai Jingyun was helping him very obediently.

Bai Wei and Xiao Cui did not leave the room. The boat was driven by a family, a couple with two sons, and they also hired several laborers.

Wang Gang carried two chairs and put them on the ground. Jiang Yuan sat down on one and Wang Gang sat on the other one.

Zhao Kai rolled his eyes, but considering that these two people were very weak, he didn't care.

"Master, will we be able to come back this time?" Wang Gang asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yuan really didn't have the energy to slap him, so he could only glare at him: "I went over to take a look, not to get married. Besides, I didn't go over to marry into the family, so why can't I come back?"

"Also, even if we can return to Taiping County, their Miss Bai family will have to come and live in our Taiping County."

"Sir, aren't you unwilling?" Zhao Kai glanced at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan's old face suddenly turned red. It was true that he was reluctant at first, but seeing that there was no hope of breaking off the engagement, he could only patiently contact Bai Wei.

But unexpectedly, Bai Wei was quite consistent with Jiang Yuan's personality, and she would never stick to the rules and ask for things like mutual respect.

Moreover, even Jiang Yuan had to admit that even though he had not seen Bai Wei's full face, she was definitely not ugly just by showing her eyes.

In this case, Jiang Yuan, who had taken advantage of the situation, had nothing else to say.

In the words of Lao Bai, just be happy in secret.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the second floor of the cabin and continued to look around.

The boat was moving very fast, and the surrounding mountains and rivers flashed by before our eyes in a flash.

"The light boat has passed through thousands of mountains." Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered a poem from his previous life.

However, before Jiang Yuan could recall the first three sentences, a loud shout came from the man standing on the high platform.

"Everyone retreat to the cabin, there's a bearded man coming!"

Jiang Yuan suddenly perked up. Hu Zi, isn’t this a pirate?

If I were going out alone, I would still have to be cautious, but now I’m going out with the Bai family, so there’s nothing to be afraid of!

However, just as Jiang Yuan had this thought, he was inexplicably slapped on the head.

Old Bai hurried into the cabin carrying a small stool and turned around to curse, "What are you waiting for, little bastard? Didn't you hear Hu Zi coming?"

"Are you still trying to escape? Are you thinking of sacrificing your harem? I've heard that most of the bearded men have a penchant for homosexuality, or homosexuality!"

What the hell!

Jiang Yuan cursed and followed Lao Bai into the cabin without looking back.

As several hooks were hung on the cabin, a bearded man wearing his signature eye patch stepped onto the deck.
