Chapter 656: The Progress of Renhetang
Everyone, the time has come to make suggestions, and you are welcome to discuss how to go next in this chapter!! )
went to Zhang Jingping's house for a drink, originally Chen Xiaoting thought that Tu Yile said this, after all, under such an important meeting, who would really be in the mood to drink.
But obviously he was wrong, Zhang Jingping, as the governor, disdained to drink, but what Chen Xiaoting didn't expect was that Yan Jinsheng, the commander of the capital, toasted him with two fellow acquaintances.
The reason inside, Chen Xiaoting can guess a few points in his heart.
When they met for the first time before, Yan Jinsheng saw that Chen Xiaoting was wearing the official uniform of the deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei, so he was a little neglectful of him.
Who knew that Chen Xiaoting was not only the head of the Yongxi Thousand Households now, but also the head of the Yongxi Thousand Households, which made Yan Jinsheng have to make up for it.
Although Jin Yiwei does not monitor Du Si, if he really offends Chen Xiaoting, it is quite easy to cause trouble for them.
Yan Jinsheng was so sleek and cautious, but it made Chen Xiaoting feel worried, can such a person fight a war?
But no matter what, Chen Xiaoting was still top-heavy, and this was the result of his best efforts to control.
As for the deliberations themselves, nothing was actually discussed, and the parties only exchanged views with each other.
Of course, Chen Xiaoting's achievements in fighting the White Lotus Sect were still praised by many high-ranking officials in Yongxi.
Jin Yiwei and civil officials have always been on the same page, and it is extremely difficult to be recognized by the sworn enemy, which also positively illustrates Chen Xiaoting's ability.
When he left Zhang Jingping's mansion, the moonlight was already high in the night sky, and Zhang Mansion specially arranged a carriage for his safety.
Under the escort of Yang Kai and others, Chen Xiaoting and his entourage returned to the mansion.
was helped down by Yang Kai from the carriage, Chen Xiaoting directly pushed Yang Kai away, and then said: "Don't help me, this little wine can't trap me!" ”
In desperation, Yang Kai could only retreat, but fortunately, after learning of the movement outside, Xu Youhui greeted him from the mansion.
"I've seen Madame!" Yang Kai saluted with a group of captains.
Although Xu Youhui is not a wife, but now that Shen Yi is not in Luyang, she naturally becomes a lady in the eyes of everyone.
After Xu Youhui stepped forward to support her husband, she complained in her mouth: "Why did you drink so much wine!" ”
While walking towards the room, Chen Xiaoting said, "I didn't drink much, I didn't drink much!" ”
Immediately, the two of them walked into the mansion, surrounded by several handmaidens and family members.
Helping Chen Xiaoting to sit down in the living room, Xu Youhui instructed his subordinates to serve sobering up tea, and then took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant.
While wiping her husband's forehead, Xu Youhui turned back to the maids and said, "You all go down!" ”
It's rare to have time to be alone with Chen Xiaoting, Xu Youhui doesn't want others to be there.
After the maids left, Chen Xiaoting, who closed his eyes and raised his head, grabbed Xu Youhui's hand, brought it to his chest and said, "Daddy, are they all resting?" ”
"After dinner, I rested, but the two children were making a fuss, and Xuan'er was still appeasing at this time!"
Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but smile, he was really in a good mood today, just heard him say: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”
"It's Xuan'er's sister who works hard, and the concubine has no children and no daughters, what's the hard work!" Xu Youhui said with a half-grudge.
Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "Then we have to hurry, just tonight...... Sow a seed for you! ”
After all, Xu Youhui was born in a scholarly family, so she could withstand Chen Xiaoting's provocation, so she clenched her little fist and hammered it into her husband's chest.
At the same time, Xu Youhui also coquettishly said: "Call you nonsense, call you nonsense!" ”
And Chen Xiaoting pulled Xu Youhui into his arms, anyway, there was no one left and right, so he touched it indiscriminately here.
But at this moment, a maidservant voice came from outside: "Master, Liu Jianping Xiaoqi is here, saying that there is a report!" ”
Chen Xiaoting stopped what he was doing, and Xu Youhui also quickly stood up and sorted out his messy clothes.
When Liu Jianping came in from outside, Chen Xiaoting was already sitting upright, while Xu Youhui entered the back hall.
"Humble to your lordship!" Liu Jianping saluted carefully.
Chen Xiaoting picked up the teacup and took a sip before he said, "Excuse me, what have you found?" ”
Could it be that I have been so lucky lately, and the good news keeps coming?
After Liu Jianping got up, he said: "My lord, you have already raised eyebrows about letting the humble post go to Renhetang!" ”
Putting the teacup back on the small table, Chen Xiaoting asked slowly, "Let's hear it!" ”
"Renhetang is the largest pharmacy in Yongxi, and there are fifty or sixty people in it from top to bottom.
"The shopkeeper of Renhetang is a family inheritance, and he has been in Yongxi for nearly a hundred years, so he found that it is indeed as clean as on paper!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help nodding, a pharmacy that can be recognized by officials of all sizes in Yongxi is naturally trustworthy only if it is innocent.
"Since the shopkeeper is clean, he continued to check from the shopkeeper, and at the beginning he checked a few doctors!"
Continuing to drink tea, Chen Xiaoting waited for Liu Jianping to continue, but he guessed that the attending doctor would not have a problem.
Sure enough, Liu Jianping's final result was that the doctors were also innocent, or temporarily innocent, because they did not find these people interacting with strange people, nor did they have a sudden windfall.
Seeing Liu Jianping's expression change, he heard Chen Xiaoting say: "It seems that there is a problem in the first level of management!" ”
Liu Jianping couldn't help but pat himself and said: "My lord is really like a god!" ”
"There are a total of five stewards in Renhetang, and the lowly officials not only investigated each of their worth, but also sent people to follow them for nearly a month!"
Speaking of this, Liu Jianping couldn't help but be overjoyed: "In the end, I found something wrong with Liu Peng, the prescription manager!" ”
Liu Jianping does things in a disciplined manner and thoughtfully...... Chen Xiaoting was very satisfied, so he waited for him to uncover the mystery.
"This Liu Peng, like several other stewards, is actually nothing weird, but there is only one thing that makes the humble position puzzled!"
Speaking of this, Liu Jianping's expression became more and more solemn and said: "Just yesterday, this steward of Renhetang quietly went to the Anyang Palace, and he went quietly at night!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting could no longer maintain the indifference on his face.
Anyang Wangfu was actually involved in Anyang Wangfu...... It's not an ordinary problem.
"I can't figure it out, what is he doing in the palace as a pharmacy steward? This is suspicious enough, but this person still went quietly at night, which makes it even more suspicious! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Jianping also knew that the matter was big, so he bowed on the spot and said: "My lord, this matter has involved the king of Anyang, do you want to investigate?" ”
Just as Chen Xiaoting was thinking, Liu Jianping said: "Anyang Palace, Dongchang has always been watching, should we report the situation to Gonggong Cao?" ”
Liu Jianping's ideas are all practical, after all, it is not a matter of inaction, and it also involves the great god of King Anyang, he really doesn't dare to get caught up in it too much.
Do you want to leave it to Dongchang? This is indeed a problem.
In fact, Dongchang's surveillance of the Anyang Royal Mansion has never been relaxed, so has Dongchang already known about this? It's just that they didn't pursue it.
I rashly checked the king of Anyang here, and after telling Cao Yunchun, would it cause him to think more? These are all things that Chen Xiaoting needs to consider.
"The report must be reported, but what can we tell Dongchang now?" Chen Xiao asked rhetorically.
Then he continued: "Continue to check quietly, and I will inform Gonggong Cao after I find out!" ”
Although he felt a lot of pressure, Liu Jianping still bowed down and said, "Obey!" ”
After listening to Liu Jianping's report on some details, Chen Xiaoting waved him away.
"Perhaps, you can remind Cao Yunchun first and let him have a snack on the Anyang Palace!" Chen Xiaoting muttered.
A person's energy is always limited, and Cao Yunchun focused on the various guards of the capital, so he would naturally relax on the side of the Anyang Palace.
