"It's okay, I'm bored at the inn, and I can't see anyone at the master, and I didn't see anyone last night. It's just that this place is far away from Liu County's Ling's house, and he is afraid that it will be inconvenient for him to go back and forth. ”

"Yes, I'll take a look and discuss, let this Lord Sun arrange a place for you to live here, if you eat, you go out to eat, you have to come back before the students eat, so that it is easy to communicate with the students, and I will let Sui Jianchun protect you here."

"What else to protect here, I can do it here with Liu County Order."

"No, these students know that I got that Wang Yan, maybe there are their friends inside, it's not good if they make trouble, don't say more, just leave Sui Jianchun behind."

Wang Jinhuai didn't say anything more, and after a while, the sacrificial wine came back and said, "Lord Lan, it's all arranged, I'll let people clean up the room, when will you start." ”

"Thank you, Lord Sun, I want to do it as soon as possible, can you do it this afternoon, and they want to live here, don't worry about the meal, let's go out to eat by ourselves, even if the problem of accommodation is to ask Lord Sun to help solve it."

"Okay, don't worry, Lord Lan, these are trivial things."

I stood up and said, "Lord Sun's official has taken his leave, and he will go to the official department for a while, and my people will stay here." ”

"Lord Lan go and get busy, they can find me for something here."

I left the room, and Wang Jinhuai followed me out of the room and said, "When will Liu Xianling come, how do we recruit people." ”

"You just write a few notices and post them in a conspicuous place, as for the future, you can discuss it when the Liu County Order comes."

Before coming to the sedan chair, I told Sui Jianchun to accompany Wang Jinhuai here, and arranged for the sedan chair to go to the palace, because the yamen problem promised by the emperor has not been solved, and I still have to go to the celebrant supervisor, I am very reluctant to go anywhere, but there is no way, I can't let the emperor go by himself, I have palpitations when dealing with Feng Bao, this guy is too slippery, and I don't know how deep the water behind him is, although the disappearance of the eunuch did not implicate him, but he must know that I came to the emperor first, and the energy of these people is very great, Even if the emperor changes the people around him, there is no guarantee that it will leak out.

The sedan chair went all the way to the Donghua Gate, I asked them to wait for me outside, I entered the palace by myself, I also knew where the master of ceremonies was, and when I arrived at the door, the little eunuch who saw that I was a foreign official, stopped me and asked me who I was looking for, I said: "Gonggong Feng, who is looking for your master of ceremonies, will say the emperor's will and let me come to him." ”

The little eunuch went in to report, and after a while, the little eunuch came out and said, "Lord Lan, Gonggong Feng is invited, please come with me." ”

I followed the little eunuch into the yamen of the celebrant eunuch, the yamen was very large, Feng Bao's office was in the main house, and when I arrived in the house, Feng Bao, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, saw that I was coming, and there was no indifference as I expected. Instead, he stood up and said: "Lord Lan, come on, although the old man has met you a few times, but there has been no deep talk, today Lord Lan came by coincidence, this is the autumn tea of Anxi that they paid tribute to, the Queen Mother rewarded me with a catty, you can also taste it." ”

I arched my hand: "Thank you Gonggong Feng, the lower officials are also thirsty, so let's nag Gonggong Feng." "As the saying goes: Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Feng Bao is so polite, I also have to be polite and courteous.

Sit down on the chair opposite Feng Bao, take the tea handed by Feng Bao, don't drink it, the smell is refreshing, I praised it repeatedly: "Good tea, good tea, follow Feng Gonggong to get clean." ”

Feng Bao smiled and said, "If Lord Lan likes it, I'll pack it for you and take it back to drink it slowly, and I'll go to the Queen Mother to ask for a catty." ”

"Then I'm not welcome, Gonggong Feng came down today because he wanted your help."

"Lord Lan is not in a hurry, drink tea first, this tea is particular, it's not good when it's cold, you have to take advantage of it, let's sit and chat, we can't delay your business."

Seeing Feng Bao say this, I can't insist anymore, but I don't understand why Feng Bao has become so enthusiastic after sweeping away the haze of the past today, I don't know what the idea is, is it to see that the emperor reuses me, and has the heart to win over and take advantage of it, anyway, I have a thought and resolutely don't get on his thief ship, it has already made such a fuss, where is there any trust at all.

Feng Bao saw that I didn't say any more, poured me tea again, drank the tea slowly and leisurely and said: "Lord Lan, in fact, we still have a relationship, you now worship Lord Zhang as a teacher, Lord Zhang and I are friends of each other, we have revealed the past together, and the old man will also be close to Lord Lan in the future, I heard that Lord Lan is going to get married, don't forget to tell the old man when the time comes." ”

"How dare you bother your father-in-law, you are also here to manage everything."

"It's okay, the old man just can't go, and he will send someone to go, this is a big deal, how can you be sloppy."

"Then thank you father-in-law in advance, it's just that father-in-law, you got sick a few days ago, and your body will recover very quickly."

"It's nothing, it's the old man's poison that accidentally touched the traitor, fortunately it's not very heavy, it's been fine a long time ago, Lord Lan, that day, Master Zhang invited me to watch the ceremony."

I didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to have such a deep relationship with Feng Bao, and I usually didn't see it at all, but I didn't understand what Feng Bao told me about today, and Zhang Juzheng didn't usually say it, maybe because he didn't know the secret fight between me and Feng Bao. Feng Bao took advantage of me to repair the relationship between us when I worshipped Zhang Juzheng as a teacher, no matter what he thought, I just listened.

"Father-in-law Feng, it's just that my friend Xiao Guizi hasn't been found a few days ago, and I will ask Father-in-law Feng to bother to find it in the future, these traitors are really bold, they didn't take you Father-in-law Feng in their eyes at all, they dared to arrest people in the palace, and killed several fathers-in-law."

"Yes, this is the old man's fault, the old man mismanaged it, so that they succeeded, don't worry, Lord Lan, I will send someone to find it, sooner or later I will find it for you."

"Emperor Feng asked me to come over to find a royal property, to set up a separate yamen, and to ask Gong Feng to bother to find it."

"This is easy to say, I have a number of properties outside the palace, and there are a lot of confiscated properties, I will take out the deed and you can pick it yourself, and the old man will send someone to clean it for you when you see it, how do you see it."

"Then thank you father-in-law, in the future, my father-in-law will be useful to Lan Yunjie."

"It's good that you have this heart, Lord Lan, in the future, the old man will inevitably trouble Lord Lan, and it is appropriate for the old man to take you to see those houses."

Feng Bao put down the tea bowl, came to a row of cabinets behind the bookcase, opened one of them, took out a small sandalwood box, put it on the bookcase and said, "Lord Lan, take a look, that one is suitable, you can pick it yourself." ”

I came to the bookcase, saw that the box was full of deeds, and I saw a few of them were not bad, but the location was not very good, I did this best close to the bustling area, but also big enough, and I was not very satisfied with the dozens of deeds inside.

Feng Bao is an old fritter, and he knew that I didn't see it when he looked at me, so he said on the side: "Didn't Lord Lan mean it?" ”

"Yes, the houses are all good, but they are a little remote, does Grandpa Feng have a house in a more prosperous place in the city."

"Okay, there are still a few places here, the old man is generally reluctant to take them out, so I'll take them out for you to see today."

Feng Bao turned around again and took out a small box from another cabinet, and when he opened it, there were four or five house deeds inside.

I looked at these houses are really good, they are all in a good location, it seems that this Feng Bao will also hide his secrets, if it wasn't for Zhang Juzheng accepting me as an apprentice yesterday, it is estimated that Feng Bao would not be willing to take it out, there is still a big name teacher.

In the end, I picked the mansion of a household servant in the Yan Song period, because it was more tight with Yan Song, so Yan Song had an accident and he was unlucky to be assigned to the army to fill the border pass, and the house fell into the hands of the emperor, the reason for seeing him is also because he has five houses close to the street, which are also three in, but it also needs to be renovated, how can there be a silver vault, there is no silver treasury, the silver is placed in the house, but it has become a good place for Jiangyang thieves to patronize.

I took the deed and said to Feng Bao, "Father-in-law Feng, I want this." ”

Feng Bao took the title deed in my hand and looked at it and said: "Lord Lan has a good eye, this house is the best here, and the old man has never been willing to give it to others. ”

After a few polite words to Feng Bao, I said goodbye and left the celebrant supervisor, I am now anxious to see how the house is, whether it needs to be repaired, it has not been inhabited for many years, the house is not afraid of living, and the house is dilapidated.

I hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, took Liu Lianjiang, and walked to the house I just picked in a sedan chair, which is not far from the palace, just on Yuqian Street, and several eunuchs have rested for a while, and the sedan chair has recovered for a while.

Because Feng Bao has not sent someone to clean, the door is locked, I had to take a general look from the outside, a few façade rooms outside are OK, that is, the doors and windows have been uninhabited, tattered, it seems that repair is necessary, but this has to find the Ministry of Industry, without the emperor's will I am afraid that I will not move the people, and I don't know what the situation inside looks like, I have to wait to see the situation inside, it is almost noon now, I am also a little hungry, and it is not close to home, Several eunuchs were also very tired from running all morning, so I said to Liu Lianjiang: "Let's not go back, let's go find a restaurant nearby to eat." ”

I didn't sit in a sedan chair, a few little eunuchs carried an empty sedan chair to follow me and Liu Lianjiang, because it is a prosperous area, so there are a lot of people, and there are many places to eat, we found a restaurant in the closest place to the mansion, after entering, I asked for a table for the four eunuchs in the hall alone, Liu Lianjiang and I went up to the second floor, found a room where you could see the mansion just now, I opened the window, and the mansion just now was in full view.
