Chapter Eighty-Six: Yongzhou Taishou
"County Lord, aren't we going to the post house, where are you going?" An accompanying official couldn't help but catch up and ask when he saw Chu Xiaoxiao's footsteps.
Chu Xiaoxiao said without looking back: "Go to Taishou Mansion!"
"Taishou Mansion?!" The accompanying official was shocked, seeing that Chu Xiaoxiao's current expression didn't look like he was going to get close to someone, so he hurriedly laughed and persuaded twice: "County Lord, you have been tired all the way, it's better to go back to the post house to rest first, and it's not too late to think about other things tomorrow." ”
As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this official obviously does not want Chu Xiaoxiao to offend the Yongzhou Taishou who has been in office for many years.
Chu Xiaoxiao naturally saw his thoughts, but he didn't care.
Some people have to be caught off guard first, and then they can be obedient.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao has never seen that Yongzhou Taishou, she feels that this Yongzhou Taishou is such a person in her heart.
After all, being able to turn a blind eye in such a situation in Yongzhou City is no longer just a simple mediocrity.
If Chu Xiaoxiao's conjecture was not wrong before, these profiteers in Yongzhou City dared to act like this, there must be someone behind them, and most of the people who supported them were this Yongzhou Taishou.
When she arrived at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, Chu Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to shout directly with her internal force: "Where is the Yongzhou Taishou?!"
Everyone could see that Chu Xiaoxiao was in an unhappy mood at this time, but although Chu Xiaoxiao was only accompanying her this time, her identity was the highest among everyone except for Chu Ci, who was Chu Xiaoxiao's father.
And during these days on the road, many people also realized Chu Xiaoxiao's temper, so not many people dared to step forward to stop it. Chu Ci, the only one among all the people who could stop Chu Xiaoxiao, immediately went to the plague victims after entering the city, and he was not here at this time.
"Who are you?" asked the guard in front of the Taishou Mansion.
Chu Xiaoxiao coldly glanced at the guards guarding outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and then pulled out a seal made of gold from his sleeve.
As soon as she entered Yongzhou City, Chu Xiaoxiao already knew that as long as she didn't show her identity, these people would never be able to take her seriously.
Those guards didn't think so at first, after all, as long as it was in Yongzhou, it was the highest official position in Yongzhou, so naturally they couldn't take others seriously, not to mention Chu Xiaoxiao, who looked like she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
After a few moments, one of them suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "That's ...... Is it the Golden Seal of the County Lord?!"
"Can I go in?" Chu Xiaoxiao said impatiently.
"When...... Of course...... "The guard didn't have time to think about anything, so he subconsciously bypassed the position at the door and let Chu Xiaoxiao in.
When Chu Xiaoxiao and the group of people behind her had already entered, the two guards suddenly came back to their senses.
"Quick...... Go and report to the lord and the butler!"
In fact, before the person who reported the news informed the mansion, Chu Xiaoxiao was already sitting at the top of the front hall of the Taishou Mansion, and the subordinates of the Taishi Mansion didn't know who was coming, and they were all looking inside.
After a while, the housekeeper in the Taishou Mansion hurriedly walked over, "Bold, who dares to trespass into the Taishou Mansion?!"
"What about Yongzhou Taishou?" Chu Xiaoxiao didn't say much, and directly asked the question he had just asked at the door again.
The housekeeper looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Our master is the Taishou of Yongzhou, how can anyone say that he can see him......"
Before he finished speaking, the person who reported the news at the front door happened to come over, and after hearing the butler's words, he immediately went to the butler's ear and said something.
After a while, the housekeeper was immediately shocked, and his eyes looked at Chu Xiaoxiao with a little more fear.
Chu Xiaoxiao naturally saw these in her eyes, Chu Xiaoxiao slowly turned the white jade bracelet in her hand, and said to the housekeeper casually: "Can you answer my question now?"
Hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Go back to ...... If you go back to the county lord, our lord is not in the mansion now, otherwise...... Otherwise, please go back first, and wait for the master to come back......"
Seeing that the housekeeper couldn't speak, Chu Xiaoxiao's patience ran out, and the Shura knife in her sleeve was instantly unsheathed, and it landed on the official's neck without the slightest pause.
"It's still early, you can think slowly, think about it before answering. Chu Xiaoxiao said coldly: "But I do have time, the knife in my hand is not necessarily, in case it can't help but want to be close to your neck, then it also depends on whether your neck is hard enough." ”
After listening to Chu Xiaoxiao's words, the housekeeper was immediately frightened, and then said without thinking: "The county lord spares his life...... The county lord spares his life, and the lord is ...... now It's in the backyard right now......"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao directly threw the housekeeper away with a whip, and strode directly towards the backyard of the Taishou Mansion.
I didn't think it when I was in the front yard just now, but now when I walked to the backyard, Chu Xiaoxiao found that this Yongzhou Taishou Mansion was really not small, Yongzhou Taishou was just a third-grade official, and the area of the mansion could be compared to the Chu Mansion in the capital.
You must know that whether it is Feng Miao or Chu Ci, they all have their own mansions.
After the title of general, His Majesty gave the General's Mansion next to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and the current Chu Mansion was built by merging the two mansions after they were opened. Now in the capital, although Chu Ci has no real power, the mansion of Chu Mansion is first-class.
Nowadays, a small Yongzhou Taishou Mansion can not be much different from the Chu Mansion, and it is conceivable that this Yongzhou Taishou is definitely not a person with clean sleeves.
Chu Xiaoxiao dragged the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion with one hand, and went directly to the backyard, and it didn't take long to find the courtyard where the Taishou of Yongzhou was.
Yongzhou Taishou Mansion is indeed too gorgeous compared to the mansion of the ordinary three-grade official, in this originally somewhat depressed northland, the backyard of Yongzhou Taishou Mansion actually has the scenery of Jiangnan garden.
The housekeeper took everyone to a courtyard called Fang Lan Courtyard, and judging from the location and scenery of this courtyard, it was known that it should be the courtyard of a certain aunt in the Taishou Mansion.
Everyone is standing in the courtyard, there are intermittent women's ** and men's low roars in the main room, and the people present are not stupid, how can they not hear what the people in the room are doing?
Listening to the movement in the room, Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at everyone present with a smile, and said with a sneer: "This is Yongzhou's parent official?"
Some of these people who followed Chu Xiaoxiao were from the capital, some were subordinates from the Taishou Mansion, and some were officials from Yongzhou City.
