Mei Feng acted protectively when he arrived, supporting Gu Yunji both inside and outside his words, talking about him like a child who was inexperienced in the world, which made Gu Yunji feel uncomfortable all over.

Fu Zida was okay, he was just surprised that there was such a relationship between Gu Yunji and the governor, and he quickly accepted it.Recalling the previous contact with Gu Yunji, he had such a strong backing but was approachable and not arrogant at all, and he couldn't help but feel more favorable to him.

But Qiu Wugang was embarrassed.

A second ago, he was posing difficult questions to Gu Yunji, acting arrogantly and unreasonably in the government office, insisting that he come up with an explanation.Unexpectedly, the next second his senior brother came to the door, it was the governor of Zhejiang, Meifeng. From the meaning of those words, it was obvious that he wanted to support his junior brother, and most of them were directed at him, Qiu Wugang.

Qiu Wugang was born in a military family and had the hereditary military position of Centurion. Later, he relied on his military merits to actually rise to the rank of commanding generals.He is indeed a capable man, but his behavior is always a little arrogant. He especially looks down on those civil servants who are talking nonsense. His attitude is very bad every time he comes to the government office. Over time, Fu Zida is almost afraid of him.

But no matter how arrogant Qiu Wugang is, he still has to be honest in front of Mei Feng.The imperial court was accustomed to using civil society to control military affairs. Mei Feng served as the governor of Zhejiang as a civilian. Although he did not personally fight against the enemy, he was in charge of the military and political affairs of the province and had great administrative and military power. He was the superior of Qiu Wugang. He was not Don't dare be disrespectful.

Listening to Mei Feng's warning, Qiu Wugang looked embarrassed and laughed twice: "Mr. Governor, are you kidding... Mr. Gu is on duty for the first time today, and his buttocks are not even hot yet. Who can bully him..."

"Really? That's the best." Mei Feng raised his eyebrows, half-smiling, "By the way - what were you arguing about just now?"

Gu Yunji said: "It's just about road construction. There are some difficulties at this stage."

With that said, Gu Yunji introduced the road construction in Marsh Pond in detail.

After hearing the whole story, Mei Feng relaxed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What should I take it for? It's just a trivial matter. After all, isn't it just that the stone issue is difficult to solve? This is easy. I'll call the officials of Jinhua Mansion. Say hello and ask them to allocate the stones as soon as possible at the lowest price, and you can start building the road right away."

Gu Yunji was flattered: "Isn't this too much trouble?"

Mei Feng waved his hand generously: "What's the matter? This is official business of the Yamen. You bought the stones to build roads, and the roads were built to transport materials to resist Japanese pirates. In the final analysis, they are all for the common people. The two prefectures are here. As we are approaching, the Japanese pirates are invading Shaoxing Prefecture today and may flee to Jinhua Prefecture tomorrow, so we should help each other."

"Speaking privately, I am your senior brother. If you encounter difficulties, why can't I help you if I can? Besides, it's just a matter of raising a finger. To me, it's just a matter of words, so don't take it to heart."

After saying that, Mei Feng patted Gu Yunji's shoulder in a very affectionate manner.

Although they are brothers in the same sect, it is the first time that Gu Yunji and Mei Feng have met. Even if their relationship is good, it is not so good that they can get along with each other as they please.Gu Yunji understood that Mei Feng did this on purpose, in order to tell Shaoxing Mansion and even the entire Zhejiang officialdom that Gu Yunji was protected by him as the governor.

Gu Yunji knew that in the imperial court, he could definitely be regarded as a kind of official with strong backing and background, but this was the first time he had a real feeling about it.In the past, both the Gu family and the Xu family were relatively low-key and would not show off their prominent power outside unless necessary.

It was the first time that Mei Feng showed his identity without hesitation and supported him openly.When he thought that Mei Feng had easily solved a difficult problem for him when he came, Gu Yunji felt grateful. When Fu Zida and Qiu Wugang left, he said sincerely: "Thank you very much, Governor-General."

Mei Feng raised his eyebrows: "Governor?"

Gu Yunji quickly changed his words: "Senior brother, thank you very much, senior brother."

Mei Feng showed a satisfied look: "That's right. Even though I'm more than ten years older than you and have a higher official rank than you, we are brothers in the same discipline. We were both taught by a teacher. There is no need to be so raw." point."

Gu Yunji smiled sheepishly: "I mainly think... After all, this is in the Yamen, and it's my duty period. I'm afraid that if I appear too close to you, people might think that my senior brother doesn't distinguish between public and private affairs, which will bring unnecessary trouble to my senior brother." Trouble."

Mei Feng said: "What are you afraid of? If this is called not distinguishing between public and private affairs, there will be many places to avoid suspicion. No matter how you say it, I am the governor of a province. If such a big official cannot even protect his junior brother, What's the point of living here? I can't even explain it to the teacher."

"It's just to scare those people, knowing that you are protected by someone, so they don't dare to bully you. Look at that Qiu Wugang, his voice was so loud that it almost shook the tiles off the roof, but as soon as I showed up , immediately became honest, isn’t this a good example?”

Even so, Mei Feng was too protective of his shortcomings, making Gu Yunji dumbfounded.

Seeing that Gu Yunji didn't speak, Mei Feng thought he was still struggling, and added: "Maybe it's because you became a disciple late and haven't experienced it much yet, but in fact, it is our sect's tradition to protect one's shortcomings. Just get used to it."

"You must know that the teacher was famous for protecting shortcomings. When he was young, he would have a hot temper. If I was bullied outside, he would take me to the house the next day to settle the score with someone. Once I had a fight with a classmate from the Imperial College. There was a fight, and when the teacher found out, he took me to find the other parent to ask for an explanation."

"We just walked halfway, and we happened to meet the other person's parents who were also looking for us. In front of so many people on the street, the teacher scolded the other person completely without using his hands. In the end, he could only run away in despair. After that, the teacher 'Become famous in one battle', everyone knows that I have a teacher who is not easy to mess with but protects others, and no one dares to bully me anymore."

"That is to say, now that the teacher is older, his temper has become much more restrained, and he is too lazy to conflict with others, so you think he is stable and restrained. But the teacher is restrained, but it does not mean that I have to be restrained too. It's okay if I don't know. But you arrived in Shaoxing I am an official in the government, and I am the governor of Zhejiang. If I ignore you, if the teacher finds out about it in the future, I am afraid he will punish me!"

Gu Yunji knew that Mei Feng was joking, but he still couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud.

Gu Yunji didn't know much about Xu Chengyu's experiences when he was young, and it felt very fresh for a while.But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed very similar to what Xu Chengyu can do.

Mei Feng was his eldest disciple, and Xu Chengyu must have paid special attention to his first disciple. He was reluctant to let him suffer even a little bit of injustice. He wished that everyone in the world knew that he was protecting Mei Feng.

Mei Feng, who grew up in such an environment, naturally inherited Xu Chengyu's "mantle", and he and he were the same line of defense and could not bear to see his junior brother being bullied.
