Chapter Twenty-Nine: To Each His Heart
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised by his change of face, and also, when did Zhizhou become a small official position, they sharpened their heads and worked hard to rise, and they may not be able to become Zhizhou!
They are a lot more relieved in their hearts, judging from his speech and demeanor, he is just a spoiled son, this time he may come to Muzhou for another reason, not necessarily for the officialdom of Muzhou.
Thinking about it, the sixth son of the Xue family only has rumors of outstanding appearance, but he has never heard of any great talent in himself. They have their own news channels, and they know that except for the eldest son, the rest of the Xue family do not have too outstanding talents, maybe the regent is busy with political affairs and can't raise their children well.
When they saw Xue Liu coming to Muzhou before, they thought that something had been discovered by the higher-ups, and Xue Liu was actually Taoguang Yanghui, but from today's point of view, maybe Xue Liu was really just a fool.
I don't know what he's doing here, I don't like it, and I can still be pretending to be in the face of Miss Qing'er, but it's possible that there is a little girl here. Try it again next time. Or, try sending money? Most people still don't have trouble with money. Besides, they just wanted Xue Liu to say a few kind words in front of the regent.
There are so many of them, and their combined age is many times more than Xue Jingyan's twenty years old, are you still afraid that you can't play Xue Jingyan, who has just been weak?
Everyone looked at each other a few times, and some smiled tacitly.
Xue Jingyan, who was sitting at the top, didn't seem to care about what these people thought at all, but looked at Li Xiangyun with some anger.
Li Xiangyun felt a little embarrassed to be under such a person in front of so many people, and seeing that he didn't know how to interact with people, he had already decided that this person was not to be afraid of, and now he regretted that he was too polite to Xue Jingyan before. That's why he let the person in front of him kick his nose in the face, he is also a prefect anyway, and there are many people under him, but he still has to endure it, who calls people to have a good father!
He hurriedly said: "Xue Gongzi is angry, angry, you must also know that we are all under the jurisdiction of Liu Zhizhou, and we really can't do it if we want to urge him to come to see you!" Especially, especially Liu Mingxu, the most oil and salt don't enter, we can't move him, and we were almost stopped by him. It is really that we admire Xue Gongzi in our hearts, so we can rush over to see you, but there are still several who were forcibly left in Mucheng by Liu Mingxu. Otherwise, there will be many more people who will greet you. For the sake of greeting you, Prince Wanwang has forgiven our sins! ”
The rest of the people also said on the side, please Xue Gongzi to calm his anger.
Xue Jingyan snorted coldly and said, "The kid can't afford your honorific title. When I really don't know, you're just looking at my father's face. Anyway, I didn't come to Muzhou to look for you, you should go back, and save yourself being scolded by Liu Mingxu. ”
Li Xiangyun was a little unwilling to let a group of people go back when he heard him, and he was afraid that this ancestor would have something to investigate and secretly visit, no, he secretly said in his heart, but he must know what he came here for.
So he raised his head and said to Xue Jingyan: "Yes, yes, we will rush back tomorrow." It's just that I don't know what happened to Xue Gongzi when he came to Muzhou, after all, Muzhou is too far away from the capital, but what is the regent's instructions? Although he asked openly and secretly, he could not get an answer that reassured him.
Xue Jingyan glanced at him and understood that he must have an answer, so he said, "Actually, it's a coincidence. I went out with my apprentice to play in the mountains and rivers, and when I was swimming in Liangzhou, I heard that there was a tragedy in Muzhou. I heard that a group of bandits had an affair with the concubine of a large family, killed the family, and took the family's property. This kind of behavior is really appalling, and I really want to see what this wolf-hearted concubine looks like! ”
Yes, it turns out that this master is here to fight for others. It's just that...... Why does this sound so familiar?
A petty official in the hall couldn't help but say, "But...... But the Sheng family in Mu Nan City? ”
"Oh, it turns out that the Sheng family in Muzhou is in Munan City, this saves a lot of effort to ask separately." Xue Jingyan smiled.
Li Xiangyun felt that his hand serving tea was a little stiff, as the prefect of Qingyun Mansion, he couldn't control Munan City, but there was no prefect of Munan Mansion here, and even because people from Munan officialdom didn't come. Because they were in Muzhou, they received the news much faster than in other state capitals.
I heard that this is the case, the Sheng family's concubines colluded with bandits and slaughtered the Sheng family, and some people sued, but they were killed by Liu Zhizhou. I don't know how the rumors spread like this, but the meaning against Liu Zhizhou revealed behind this is still obvious.
But even if he knows a little bit of the inside story, he thinks that his boss is likely to be the real culprit behind the scenes, so what about in the eyes of others?
Li Xiangyun is naturally the regent, but he has also been swinging on the side of the royalists, just waiting for which side has the heavier chips. It's not that he doesn't know the danger of wall grass, but as the little emperor grows up, he doesn't know who loses and who wins.
But this time, he couldn't see clearly. Liu Mingxu is indeed a royalist, but there is no doubt about his loyalty to the Great Xia Dynasty, for so many years, he can also see that the regent still takes good care of state affairs, and he will not target him because Liu Mingxu does not support the regent.
I don't know who the person behind the scenes is, but Xue Jingyan's arrival seems to show that there may really be traces of the regent's action behind this, is it ...... That person couldn't help but wait for the emperor to grow up after all? Thinking of this, he was shocked by his own thoughts.
Xue Jingyan watched him change his face over there with great interest, and said, "Governor Li looks like he has a lot of opinions. Here, it seems that there are no officials from Mu Nancheng, so why don't you talk about this matter carefully? I heard that the Sheng family was almost wiped out, right? ”
Li Xiangyun didn't hear Xue Jingyan's words clearly at first, but later, under the reminder of an official on the side, he finally came to his senses, regained his apparent calm, and then said: "Our Qingyun Mansion is still some distance from Mu Nan City, and what we have heard is only rumors after all. I have always believed that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and I think it is better to go to the Sheng family to have a look. Otherwise, what is the difference between saying it for no reason and those foolish women in the back house who like to talk about their tongues? ”
The officials on the side nodded their heads repeatedly.
"What Brother Li said is very true."
"What Master Li said is good!"
"Hehe," Xue Jingyan smiled, "Master Li is very eloquent, it seems that if I ask a few more words, I will become a woman in the back house?" ”
"Xia Guan didn't mean this, please don't misunderstand Xue Gongzi." At this moment, Li Xiangyun's expression was very upright and looked impeccable.
They literati are used to pretending, and Xue Jingyan feels a little bored.
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Anyway, my purpose is there, I heard that their family is very rich, only because of the royal family in the capital is in second place, I want to see if this Sheng family is richer than my family! ”
Everyone couldn't help but ask, could it be that he came all the way to want to know this? It's really ...... It's really ...... Everyone suddenly couldn't think of what words to use to express their depressed mood at the moment.
Even if the Sheng family is rich, the Sheng family has already fallen at this time!
Could it be that he just came to see the joke?
Come on, it's better not to be here for them anyway. They had long been prepared for the arrival of the people in the capital, but what he really didn't want to come was the person in front of him. Although he looks handsome, he doesn't look like a shrewd person, he is a gentleman, and his identity is too hot, something really happened, and he is afraid that the regent will wash the Muzhou officialdom in blood.
"Then, I wonder if Xue Gongzi has any place where he wants us to help? Although we know that Xue Gongzi has someone next to him who is ordered by the prince to serve, we still have to do our best to be a landlord, which is a kindness to all of us, and you must not refuse. Otherwise, when the time comes to the prince, we will still have to eat and hang. There are a few more people around Gongzi who are familiar with Muzhou, and they must be able to understand the customs of Muzhou more quickly. ”
This is the meaning of wanting to put eyeliner next to Xue Jingyan. It's just that he remembered that there was no one around Zhu Yan to serve, and he was following him, and his temperament was getting more and more wild, so he made up his mind to bring a few people. Seeing that they are so upright, what they want to do has already been told by their father that they are in a hurry, so it is better to travel in Muzhou now. After all, the scenery of Muzhou is really good.
So he nodded, and remembered the scantily clad woman they sent over before, thinking that he couldn't teach Zhu Yan badly, so he added a sentence: "Just send two maids, remember, don't be like before, I want someone who can serve my apprentice, not me." Got it? ”
When they first heard the previous sentence, they thought that the girl was not there, and Xue Jingyan was finally about to start restoring the style of the child, but they didn't expect to hear the latter words before they knew that they had misunderstood. It seems that this master really doesn't like beautiful women! Everyone wondered in their hearts again, should they call a young boy of thirteen or fourteen years old?
But when I think of the regent's various methods, if the regent knows that his gang actually wants to lure Xue Gongzi to play with men, I'm afraid it won't end well.
Over the years, I haven't heard of Xue Liugongzi having any confidantes, but they don't believe that his son, who is the regent, can guard himself like jade, cough cough, even if he can keep it, but can he do it? The people of Xue Mansion don't want what they want? Or is it Xue Jingyan...... No way?
Anyway, there are people thinking about everything, usually they have to figure out their intentions and look at the faces of their superiors, so that they won't make a mistake, but today they didn't expect that the Qing'er of the Meixiang Pavilion who was offered at the beginning couldn't attract Xue Jingyan's attention, and they had already been thinking nonsense in their hearts.
Xue Jingyan had already said his request, so he didn't care about those people, anyway, he remembered all the people who came today. He doesn't like people like this, but what do people who don't come think in their hearts?
He squinted and returned to his room, then washed up and fell asleep.
