Zhou Heng was stunned, this Zhu Yunmo's brain circuit is really different from ordinary people, what about Liu Renli here, how could he directly talk about Liu Xiu'er's body.

"Why does the prince say that, Liu Xiuer is my sister-in-law, this ......"

"Don't explain what I understand, let's talk about Liu Renli first, since you are worried about his safety, otherwise I will go with you."

Zhou Heng was startled, and instantly forgot what he had teased before, and hurriedly got up and saluted Zhu Yunmo.

"I can't help it, it doesn't matter what the prince does in the capital, build a workshop to make money, even if it is against the one in Ning Wangfu, this is covered by the emperor, but going out of Beijing is a big deal, Liu Renli originally came with our ship, if you go to see him again at this moment, how do you let the emperor think, do you want to envelop the courtiers?"

Zhu Yunmo pursed his lips and sighed, he knew that Zhou Heng was for his good, and he was right, so he raised his hand and shook it.

"Okay, I won't go, why are you still in a hurry, if you want to go, bring more people, this Liu Renli is stubborn, although he is upright, but he is less flexible, I am really afraid that he will suffer."

Zhou Heng nodded, glanced out the window, the snow seemed to be a little smaller, and the sun was much more abundant.

"Since that's the case, then I'll go and take a look, as for the people, I still take Brother Xue with me, it's easy to attract attention when there are too many people, and the rejuvenation hall and workshop have to worry about Shizi."

Zhu Yunmo waved his hand, "Go quickly, I will take care of it here, as for your students, I don't think I have to come over and ask where you are, I will take them to the Rejuvenation Hall, anyway, it is almost arranged there today, according to the drawings, many rooms still need to be cleaned and placed, and they are better at these." ”

Zhou Heng nodded, "Okay, especially Liu Xiu'er, it's best to let Miss Su Wu come over, they won't come over to inquire about Lord Liu together." ”

Zhu Yunmo waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go, it's really wordy, it's noon for a while." ”

Zhou Heng saw that Zhu Yunmo was confident, and he didn't delay any longer, and went directly back to his yard and called Boss Xue to rush directly to Tongzhou.

took Boss Xue out, as long as he brought enough food, he didn't complain.

On the way, I met a seller of bacon, a seller of fried cakes, and a seller of mutton soup, and a large food box was packed.

Before it was dark, they arrived in Tongzhou, which was much faster than the last time they walked, and Boss Xue threw the last piece of bacon into his mouth, swallowed it contentedly, and then knocked on the car door and asked:

"Shall we go directly to the governor's office, or should we find a place to live?"

Zhou Heng looked at the sky, although it was not dark at this time, it was still necessary to be safe.

"Find an inn near the mansion to stay."

Boss Xue got the order, hurried forward, stopped at a very large storefront, Xiao Er greeted him warmly, and led the car and horses to the backyard, Boss Xue raised his voice to admonish.

"Give me good fodder, if you lose the things in the car, I will settle accounts with you."

The little guy nodded and led the carriage and horse away, Zhou Heng entered the inn in front of Boss Xue and behind, and as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er hurriedly introduced:

"Two of you?"

"Find two upper rooms, and then prepare some food and drink."

The smile on Xiao Er's face was even worse, and he was busy getting people ready to go to the room, and asked carefully beside Zhou Heng:

"Is the guest dining in the room, or downstairs?"

Zhou Heng glanced at the noisy hall and randomly pointed to a position by the window.

"You don't have to go to the room, just go there, prepare more meat, wine and food."

The two sat down, and Xiao Er wiped down the already very clean table again, and brought up two steaming handkerchiefs.

Zhou Heng wiped it, Boss Xue wiped his face and hands again, and finally threw it to Xiao Er.

Drinking tea, Boss Xue approached Zhou Heng, he knew that Zhou Heng was a person who was extremely afraid of noise, and he obviously had other intentions when he sat down in this lobby.

"Do you want to inquire about Lord Liu's whereabouts?"

Zhou Heng smiled, "Just listen to it, maybe there is something to gain, maybe there is something to gain, today is November 29, tomorrow is the deadline for going to work, I think he will not be late, but I don't know what happened in the past few days, let him delay, let's listen." ”

Boss Xue poured tea for Zhou Heng, and the wine and food came up in a moment, not to mention that the taste was still good.

Boss Xue grabbed the chopsticks and was about to send them to the armpit for stroke.

glanced at Zhou Heng, stopped his movements, took the chopsticks and plates of the two and washed them with tea, and splashed the rest of the water on the ground.

Zhou Heng ate side dishes and looked at Boss Xue, who was feasting.

In fact, along the way, Boss Xue didn't stop eating, and the meat and mutton soup basically entered his stomach, and he could still eat it at the moment, Zhou Heng still really admired it.

The location of this inn is good, the wine and food are also very delicious, and there are more and more people in the lobby, many people look at the local rich families, in groups of three or five, drinking wine and boasting.

However, the conversation of the people in front of them attracted Zhou Heng's attention, and a man in Tsing Yi said to a middle-aged man:

"Brother Xu heard that in the Tongzhou Yamen for the past two days, he has been waiting for the newly appointed Lord Zhizhou every day, but day by day, no one has arrived?"

The person known as Brother Xu nodded, sighed, and had a more vigilant face, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and then said:

"Tongzhi, county Cheng, and the main book, needless to say, the famous squires of Tongzhou City and the four counties of Sanhe, Wuqing, Xianghe, and Miao County are waiting here. But the newly appointed Zhizhou didn't show up at all, but he heard that he got off the boat at the canal ferry and disappeared, and the government sent out several groups of people to look for him, but he didn't see anyone, you say it's strange. ”

A thin man, sneering, his face full of impatience.

"It's just sensationalism, it is said that the newly appointed Zhizhou, who started by complaining, somehow climbed to the Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhang Fuling, because of the disaster relief matters, pulled down eighteen officials at once, and recovered more than 800,000 silver greedy for ink, and now these two are celebrities in front of the emperor."

That Brother Xu hurriedly cleared his throat and motioned for this person to be quiet.

"Brother Junchen, let's be quiet, these are not things we can discuss."

The man known as Junchen looked indifferent, picked up the wine cup and raised his head to make a toast, and put the wine cup down heavily.

"The affairs of the imperial court, naturally, are not something you and I can defend, but the time for this Zhizhou to take up his post has also arrived, and in such a cold weather, my father went to the government office for five days in a row to wait, what is the reason?"

The people around him did not answer, and he continued:

"He wants the new official to take office with three fires, does he still want to shoot at the squire? I've heard that this newly appointed Lord Zhizhou is relying on the support of the squires in Shandong to raise money to support disaster relief. I don't think it's impossible. ”

After this person's remarks, the few people who were eating and drinking instantly wilted, and seeing that they seemed to be the descendants of some squires and wealthy families, Boss Xue glanced at them twice.

"Braised venison, as well as a pheasant and a plate of shrimp, and the rest are extremely expensive to eat, I see that this meal has seven or eight taels of silver."

Although Zhou Heng turned his back to these people, he naturally understood what Boss Xue meant, but Zhou Heng had a small mirror in his palm, and the handle was hidden in the cuff, which was the elbow mirror of dentistry, and they saw everything behind it.

The man surnamed Xu in Tsing Yi bowed his hand towards this person.

"Brother Zhang, don't be angry, we are all the same, it depends on whether the newly appointed Lord Zhizhou will go to the post tomorrow, if he comes, it will be a bloody storm, if he doesn't come, I'm afraid someone is more anxious than us, isn't this a protest?"

As soon as these words came out, several people were stunned, as if they didn't expect the latter result, and they all immediately put their heads together.

"You're saying that someone is going to be bad for Zhizhou......."

The man shook his head mysteriously, "Who knows, but people's hearts are unpredictable, it seems that there are not many people who can live in front of the emperor, and there is such a big battle, this is not to roast Tongzhou on the fire, this winter is over, how can the rich people in this Tongzhou territory have a good life?" ”
