Chapter 66: Su Mansion
After Ru Yan and the three of them left the Hongyun Restaurant, they went straight to the Zhizhou Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three of them only knew that the Zhizhou Mansion was probably in the south of the city. However, the three of them went around all morning and still did not find the governor's capital. In the end, it took money to ask someone to lead the way.
It's just an ordinary house, and the plaque engraved with the words Su Fu at the door of the house has begun to exude an old smell. There is nothing else special about the others.
Yangzhou is wealthy, there are countless large families, and there are countless luxurious mansions, so it is not surprising that such houses are drowned in them.
"My mother, this Su Mansion is too low-key, in a rich place like Yangzhou, the Zhizhou Mansion is so shabby? Not to mention that compared with the first-class big families in Yangzhou City, even the third-rate rich businessmen are more magnificent than this state capital! There was not even a doorkeeper, the door was closed! Zi Feng sighed incredulously, "Could it be that the person who led the way deceived us just now, this can't be the Zhizhou Mansion, right?" ”
"I don't mind, it's close to the city center anyway, and ...... then!" , Hazy Moon continued.
Zifeng knew that she was going to talk about the food and the fun again, and as soon as Hazy Moon said it, she would talk endlessly. He immediately interrupted her, "Shall we look elsewhere?" ”
Ru Yan looked at the gate of Su Mansion and said, "I think we are not looking for the wrong place, I have heard that Su Boyu Su Zhizhou in Yangzhou is a famous rich and poor official. Su Bo became more and more incorruptible, and although Yangzhou was rich, however, Su Zhizhou's governance strategy was to hide the wealth from the people, but he did not take anything from it. The imperial court has always adopted the rotation of officials below the third grade, with a minor transfer in three or five years and a major transfer in seven or eight years, in order to prevent officials from staying in one place for a long time, easily breeding their own forces, being corrupt and bending the law, exploiting the people, and becoming the emperor of one party. However, Su Boyu stayed in Yangzhou for 20 years, which shows that the imperial court's trust in him is different! ”
"I'll call the door!" , Hazy Moon said and went to the door to knock on the door.
At this time, a family member came out and opened the door.
"May I ask if Master Su Boyu Su is in the house?" Hazy Moon asked.
The family returned politely and said: "I'm really sorry, our lord is still doing official business in the yamen of the state capital, and he has not returned yet, so you might as well go to the yamen!" ”
Ru Yan replied: "Thank you, little brother! ”
The housekeeper replied that it was okay and closed the door again.
Ru Yan wanted to meet privately with local officials before formally investigating the case, and then go to the yamen, so that the relationship between the two sides might be more harmonious and the case would be handled more smoothly. I don't want to, I was closed for the first time I came to Yangzhou.
The three of them came to the state capital yamen again. The yamen of the state capital is majestic, which is what this rich land should look like.
The person who received the documents was the official Wupin Siyun and Liang Yu, who were at the lower level of Su Boyu.
After Liang Yu read the documents, he immediately saluted and said: "The lower official doesn't know that the inspector is coming to Yangzhou, and he has missed the welcome, please forgive me!" ”
Ru Yan said: "Get up and speak, what about Su Boyu Su Zhizhou?" Why didn't you see others? ”
Liang Yu replied: "Lord Hui, Lord Su is on public leave today!" He may be in Su Mansion now, and I will immediately send someone to invite Su Da to come over!" ”
"What the hell is wrong with you? The people of Su Mansion said that Master Su was on business in the Ya, and Lord Liang said that Lord Su was on public leave in the Mansion, and we came from Su Mansion just now, who do we want to listen to? Zifeng was a little displeased.
Liang Yu hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, I don't know what is going on, but Lord Su is indeed on public leave today, and he is indeed not in the yamen, please be clear." ”
Liang Yu secretly looked at Ru Yan's face, his expression was calm, he couldn't see the slightest wave, and he didn't know what he thought in his heart.
The more Ru Yan didn't say anything, the more uneasy Liang Yu's heart became, "My lord, the Ren Zhibo of the Yamen records the date of Lord Su's public vacation, I'll go and bring it over to show your lordship!" ”
"No need!" , Ru Yan said, "Can't I still trust Lord Liang?" I think there must be some misunderstanding here. It's not in the way that Lord Su will see you another day, the court asked me to come to Yangzhou this time to investigate the case of enclosure of some officials, I just came to meet with you first, and then the case is in need, and I ask you to help! ”
Liang Yu replied: "We are all eating the court's money, and assisting the adults to solve the case is to assist the court, so naturally I should do my best!" My lord, I'll arrange accommodation for you right away! ”
Ru Yan waved her hand, "No need, we still want to go to Yangzhou City to understand the situation!" ”
After speaking, Ru Yan and the three of them left the yamen.
Ru Yan didn't know how the next case was going to unfold, so when she first arrived, she simply went to the city with Zifeng and Hazy Moon to wander around.
The Purple Wind and the Hazy Moon are like going to heaven on earth, and they are buying, buying, buying, buying!
Purple scenery is the same silk scarf, so I bought ten, and I was stunned by the hazy moon.
"Sister Zifeng, you are really rich, do you want to move the entire Yangzhou people back? There are so many strips, or the same style, sister, can you use them? Did you buy it for us? Hazy Moon asked.
"You know, it's the same model, but the material is different, and the color is different. But I like them all, of course I have to buy a few more! Purple Wind replied.
Ru Yan was already exhausted, so she could only raise her hand and surrender, "You can really go shopping, I can't do it, I'll go to the tea shop in front of me first, you continue to shop, come to the tea shop to find me after shopping!" ”
Zi Feng chuckled lightly and said in Ru Yan's ear: "I heard that men don't like shopping, it seems that you have become a real man after pretending to be a man for a long time!" ”
While he was talking, a group of people walked over.
Hazy Moon was frightened and thought, "We didn't cause trouble, we just arrived in Yangzhou!" ”
After the group of people approached, Ru Yan found that Liang Yu was also among them, so she guessed two or three points.
The man in his forties and fifties at the head looked white, slightly fat, and had droopy eye bags, which were especially prominent.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Su Bo is getting late, please punish the adult!" ”
Ru Yan looked at Su Boyue, who had not appeared for a long time at the beginning, and thought that this Su Boyue would not be slacking off just because she was young, if so, if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the momentum, then the follow-up cases would not go too smoothly.
Ru Yan deliberately didn't speak, and her expression made people unable to guess why.
On the contrary, Zifeng couldn't hold his breath, walked up to Su Boyu, looked at it and said, "Master Su, the little girl is polite!" ”
Su Boyue looked at the woman who came with a bad look, but her tone was still kind. If you don't think well, this is the first salute and then the soldier.
After Su Boyu returned the purple wind's salute, he went straight to the point, "I heard Lord Liang say that the lord went to the lower official before?" ”
"Yes! , but Master Su is too busy every day, and it is inconvenient for the official to disturb! Ru Yan was a little unhappy in her heart.
Su Boyue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least he could see the look of the adult.
Su Boyue hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "My lord, I'm really sorry, the lower official was indeed in the mansion at that time, and the family in the mansion was offended by the unknown situation before, and the lower official apologized to the adult here." The reason for this is that I also ask the adults to go back to the house with the lower officials, and the lower officials will slowly explain to the adults! ”
Ru Yan apologized when she saw this person, maybe there was really a reason for it. Besides, this Su Poyu has always had a good reputation, and he can't always hold on to others. What's more, Ru Yan herself also needs a step down, because she is new to the city and does need the assistance of local officials.
So, Ru Yan hurriedly helped Su Boyu up and said, "Master Su is serious, this is just a small misunderstanding!" There are a lot of people here, so let's go back to your house and talk about it in detail! ”
Su Boyu was completely relieved and said, "My lord, please!" ”
Although Su Mansion looks like it is relatively oligopoly from the outside. But after entering, from the pavilion and water pavilion in the house, the flowers and gardens, although it is not a big deal, but it is also fresh and elegant, it can be seen that the designer is also different from ordinary people, quite ingenious.
"Lord Su's mansion is really chic and elegant!" , Ru Yan exclaimed.
Su Boyu smiled, "My lord, it's ridiculous, these are all set up by the lower officials." Many of the objects built are picked up, the cost is not high, not elegant, but it can also be turned into treasure, and the best use of things! ”
"Oh?" , Ru Yan didn't expect that these were all from Su Boyu's handwriting, and she was surprised, "My lord not only governs the people well, but I don't want to have such outstanding talents!" ”
"Yes! Not only does Master Su have such talent, but his subtlety lies in the fact that objects that were originally of low value immediately turn decay into magic after passing through Lord Su's hands! Liang Yu continued: "For example, that rockery turned out to be a pile of rubble. The drunken fairy next to that pavilion was also carved by adults from some useless tree roots! And those flowers are very beautiful, and they are also cultivated by adults who teach two ordinary pollen! ”
"It's really amazing, Master Su's ingenuity is really breathtaking!" , Ru Yan said.
"Where, where!" , Su Boyue said modestly, "Xia Guan just thinks that there is no difference between waste and treasure in this world. There is no value in things, and only after passing through the eyes of the world can there be nobility. Expensive things can become cheap things if they are misplaced, and cheap objects can be turned into treasures if they are placed in the right place! ”
Ru Yan sighed: "After listening to Lord Su's interpretation, this official finally understands why Yangzhou is so rich under the governance of adults, and the people's hearts are stable." Because Su Daren has made the best use of things and made the best use of his talents, Su Daren has made remarkable achievements in politics and Yangzhou is brilliant! ”
Su Boyue pondered for a moment, and sighed: "The adult gave such a high evaluation to the lower official, the lower official is really frightened, and the lower official can't afford to be highly praised by the adult!" Now there is a scandal like the enclosure of Yangzhou officials in front of me, alas! ”
"Master Su doesn't have to blame himself!" , Ru Yan said: "There will be rat on the holy platform!" The purpose of the imperial court sending this official to Yangzhou this time is to clean up these rat feces, and when the time comes, the official also hopes to get the help of Lord Su and Lord Liang! ”
After a few more pleasantries, they entered the front hall of the reception. (To be continued.) )
