Chapter 42: The Suffering of Loved Ones
Usually it is not a big secret which state Lu Ning went to, but Lu Ning has already had a strict order, and if he does not give his own edict, any local officials are not allowed to visit him.
In Qiludi, there was really an assassin and two county commanders who once thought that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was just pretending to be a gesture, and when he arrived in the local territory, was it wrong for the ministers to go down to meet him?
And in the end, the assassin and the two county commanders were dismissed and demoted to other places as officials.
Since then, the rumors of His Royal Highness King Qi have gradually decreased.
The same is true in Texas, in front of the gate of the palace, there are many doors, and only a few peasant palace guards stand guard alone.
Back in the palace, Lu Ning replied to You Wuniang, and ordered the Nong Gong Wei to go to the post station to summon the news, no matter where You Saburo is now, call him to see him.
In You Wuniang's letter, it was said that the third brother seemed to have found the traces of his relatives, as if he was in Wucheng County, Beizhou.
Although she didn't dare to say anything else, she naturally hoped that the lord could find a way to reunite her relatives.
You Wuniang's family was originally a big family in Huainan, because of the war and moved north to join relatives, and the family was separated in the chaos, she and You Saburo finally fled to the East China Sea, think about it, there have been three or four years.
Now that the relatives are separated, it will be too difficult to reunite again, but You Saburo is the manager of Bao Inquiry, so he naturally found some clues.
In fact, this was originally ordered by himself, but now his relatives may be in the territory of the enemy country, so he didn't tell himself first, but sent a letter to his sister, wanting his sister to blow the pillow wind to reunite the family.
Obviously, he was afraid that after telling himself, he would refuse, and as soon as Chrysostom opened, there would be no room for things to turn around.
Lu Ning frowned, and wrote a reply, telling You Wuniang that he would come to Dezhou to meet him, and said that the princess, Dongshang Palace, and Beishang Palace could also come to Dezhou, so they should be taken as a distraction.
Although Lu Ning has been telling these princesses and side princesses that they have freedom of movement, and they can play wherever they want to play in their own country, as long as they don't need a place to work.
But obviously, this is not Lu Ning's wishful thinking, including Yongning, even if he leaves the palace, he rarely leaves the palace, let alone leaves Yanzhou or even goes to other places to play.
This is different from when Lu Ning was in Hebei and Xiao Thirteen went to help accompanied by You Wuniang, the territory of Qi is basically stable now, Lu Ning is cruising outside, and since the princesses and side princesses are not allowed to accompany them, they can't leave the palace without permission.
Thinking about it, Lu Ning felt that these beauties were really a little pathetic, of course, he also knew in his heart that this was just a "pathetic" imposed on others, in fact, except for Beishang Palace, the rest of the concubines were afraid that they were all happy.
But anyway, since You Wuniang came, the rest of the concubines also came to play together.
……
You Saburo was actually in Texas, and when he got Lu Ning's message, he immediately came to see him, and when he met, he kowtowed hard, asking his father to spare his sin of writing a letter to his sister, but he was soft-spoken, and he really didn't dare to talk to his father about family affairs.
Lu Ning didn't say much, but just told You Saburo that he would set up a secret bureau to manage all the bags to inquire, You Saburo was the left supervisor of the secret bureau, and Gan Erlang was the right supervisor, who was in charge of the secret affairs, and the left and right supervisors were all officials on the sixth grade, the left supervisor was in charge of Hebei affairs, and the right supervisor was in charge of Qilu affairs.
It seems that Bao Inquiring has officially designated the secretary, and You Saburo has been appointed as a formal official, and the secret bureau will naturally have more and more members as the territory expands.
But in fact, from then on, You Saburo and Gan Erlang checked and balanced each other, lest You Saburo have other thoughts.
Although Bao inquired only to inquire about information, You Saburo was obviously a little cocked, which can be seen from the fact that he was the first to write a letter to his sister when he found the traces of his relatives.
The transfer of Gan Erlang to the Secret Bureau was also thought by You Saburo that he should take precautions now, don't make his relatives too big, and come to find out the information, this errand is really important to say that it is important, and he should have used his closest people to take charge of things, but at the same time, he is only very important to himself, without his own support, and without any authority in hand.
In the matter of recruiting Yuanwei, the inner government will send capable female officials to rotate, so that people will not be able to control that treasure for a long time, and, to be honest, if the woman is careful and very capable, she is really good at this.
You Saburo knelt down and kowtowed, tears welled up in his eyes, he was really excited, he could really wear an official robe, right? And it's a positive six products, a year ago, how dare you think about it?!
Moreover, he is finally on an equal footing with Gan Erlang, not to mention, he is the left prisoner, he is the right prisoner, it stands to reason that he should be his deputy, but the master treats everyone equally.
Seeing him so excited, Lu Ning was a little speechless, he naturally didn't know the thoughts he had to learn from history now, and he just regarded it as his favor.
Lu Ning coughed, and then, he gave a few words of encouragement, which made You Saburo want to break his head.
Next, Lu Ning asked You Saburo about discovering clues about his relatives, and You Saburo cried and kowtowed, "Master, the little slave never thought that when he was reunited with the eldest brother and second brother and sister, there were still the old fathers and mothers of the little slave, all of whom were in Wucheng County, Beizhou, but it seemed that the eldest brother had a big disaster, and the family was about to suffer!" ”
He excitedly recounted the story.
It turned out that according to Lu Ning's instructions, Qi was close to the state and county, and he was also trying his best to buy fine works.
Bay State is adjacent to Texas, and its Dongcheng County is bordered by Zhangnan County, Texas.
It just so happened that there was a businessman in Zhangnan County, who had relatives in Dongcheng County, and his relatives were the infantry heads of the county soldiers in Dongcheng County.
The Qi State was heavy on commerce, and its merchants traded with Li Chongjin's Song State, Jiangnan Tang State, Wu Yue, and even the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty, and the Nanping State of Jingchu, and even in the Shu State, sometimes there were traces of Qi merchants.
Dongcheng County belongs to Beizhou, and Beizhou belongs to the Tianxiong Army.
The Tianxiong Army was formerly known as the Wei Bo Army of the three towns of Heshuo in the Tang Dynasty, which was extremely strong, although the state capital was castrated later, and now there are only Daimyo Mansion (Weizhou), Weizhou, Bozhou, Beizhou, one government and three states, but it is still an extremely important military town.
The Tianxiong Army made Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, have an ambiguous attitude, and after Li Chongjin became the queen of Song, his relationship with him was even colder.
It is not surprising that You Laosan pretended to be Qi Shang and contacted that head.
It was Zhang Dutou, but he frequently looked at You Laosan, with a very strange gaze.
In the end, Zhang Dutou said that there is a family surnamed You in Dongcheng County, the old father and mother, as well as the eldest brother and sister, among which You Erlang and you look too similar.
You Laosan was immediately shocked, and asked about the name of the old father of the You family, Zhang Dutou said that his name was You Nianfu, You Laosan was like being struck by lightning, this is not his father's name?
Zhang Dutou also said that he was so familiar with the You family because You Dalang committed a lawsuit of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, You Dalang had been imprisoned in Beizhou, and You Dalang, You Erlang and his female dependents were all taken into the county prison and awaiting the sentence of the state department.
"The pickled goods surnamed Zhang said, Li Chongjin entered the King of Song, my eldest brother scolded some chaotic ministers and thieves after drinking, and cursed Li Chongjin to cut off his children and grandchildren, this, isn't this a shadowless thing, my eldest brother, where do you care about this?" You Laosan cried with a sad face.
Lu Ning was also a little speechless, if the You family is the family style of You Laosan and You Wuniang, then You Dalang's style can also be imagined, where will he care about any military affairs? When today, is the surname Song or the surname Qin, is it about him?
You Laosan, at this time, looked at Lu Ning with a bitter face, he heard this, although he was anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything to that Dutou, so he could only quickly write a letter to his sister and ask her to ask His Royal Highness King Qi to take an idea.
Lu Ning gradually understood when he heard this, sighed slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, I also want to see what the weather of the Tianxiong Army is, you meet with that Zhang Dutou again, admit that the You family is your relative, ask him for help, see if there is still room for maneuver, if not, your relatives in Dongcheng County, ask him how much money can be redeemed." ”
You Laosan was stunned, and immediately understood that the so-called "redemption" was to bribe that Zhang Dutou, so that he could find a way to save his family in the Dongcheng County prison, and he was busy.
