I looked at the sacrificial wine that was so angry that it couldn't be done. Know that the effect has been achieved. Take Wang Jinhuai and Lao Liu Yang away. The teachers in the other rooms probably heard us commotioning too. I just didn't dare to come out and see. All lying on their stomachs at the door to see what was going on.

Out of the gate of the country. Lao Liu asked me, "Young Master, let's go there."

I looked at the time. It's still early. It's okay to go back so early. Since it was Wang Jinhuai who came to the capital. Why don't you take him out to meet the market? The best place is of course the Ministry of Officials. It's a daunting place for officials. I took Wang Jinhuai to ask him to take a look. The place where all the officials of our Ming Dynasty were promoted. Let me know my prestige in the ministry. Give him some confidence. I guess after the last time I made such a fuss. I'm famous in the ministry. No one dares to mess with me.

"Brother Liu. It's still early. Let's go to the ministry."

Lao Liu put Wang Jinhuai's luggage on horseback. We walked to the office.

Arrived at the ministry. Old Liu, looking at the luggage and horses outside. I took Wang Jinhuai into the ministry. Let's go to the West Wing to see how the person Wei Yunzhong found for me is. Now there is no hope for the country. I can only pin my hopes on Wei Yunzhong. Bring Wang Jinhuai. It's also to have a seer to meet Wei Yunzhong. There are still many places where he will need help in the future.

Come to the door. It's still the same as that day. The scribe was there to register and call people. Several officials outside were standing there waiting to be heard. See me coming. The man immediately stood up and greeted, "Lord Lan. You're here. Lord Wei is in the house. You wait. I'll pass it on to you." Talking about it, I don't care about these officials waiting outside. I got up and went straight into the house.

It will come out in a moment. Accompanied by a smiling face, he came out and said, "Lord Lan. There was no one in Lord Wei's house. You can just go in."

People are so polite now. I can't hold grudges either. He also said, "Thank you. There is labor."

Then he took Wang Jinhuai to the door of Wei Yunzhong's house. I'll knock on the door first. After all, I'm a junior. Even if it's higher than other people's grades, it's not good. That Wei Yunzhong is my future father-in-law.

Wei Yunzhong's voice came from inside: "Is it Yun Jie. Come in."

Pushing open the open door, we came inside. Wei Yunzhong stood up from behind the bookcase. Let the two of us sit down in chairs. Only then did he look at Wang Jinhuai and asked, "This is. Why are you so raw?"

Since there are no outsiders. I don't call Wei Yunzhong Master Wei anymore, and I said directly: "Uncle. This is my good friend Wang Jinhuai. I only entered Beijing yesterday. Come and participate in the scientific expedition next spring. Originally, I told the emperor about it. I want Brother Wang to go to the country to study for a while. Who knew that I had a quarrel with the priest of the country just now. We came out in a fit of rage. By the way, check it out to you. Is there a suitable candidate?"

I'm introducing this. Wang Jinhuai got up again and saluted Wei Yunzhong. I am Wei Yunzhong's niece and son-in-law. Wang Jinhuai is a good friend of mine again. He saw Wei Yunzhong and wanted to perform the etiquette of a junior. He donated his hands to the end and said, "The late Wang Jinhuai has seen Lord Wei."

Wei Yunzhong helped Wang Jinhuai up and said, "You're welcome. It's all my own family. You need to be polite outside. It's better to be casual when there's no one."

He turned to me again and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did you quarrel with that sacrificial wine? That guy is an old stubborn. It's a good friend of the high arch. You have offended the high arch. He wanted to show himself in front of the high arch. It's not hard for you to give it a look. What did he say?"

I told Wei Yunzhong about the conversation between the two of us. Wei Yunzhong smiled and said, "You. It's just young and vigorous. What to do with him. Gentlemen don't fight villains. You are not familiar with that sacrificial wine. Notoriously stubborn temper. Remembered later. Don't quarrel with such people. There are ** copies. You're a squire now. That guy though is sacrificial wine. It is also from the three products. But that's the Qingshui Yamen. You're different. Tobe Shiro. That's a fat difference."

"Uncle. That guy is so infuriating. Say I'm a minister of good luck. I see him as envy, jealousy, and hatred. That's what I said."

"Alright. In the future, he will also be a member of the imperial court. Learn to be steady. People will laugh at it. Since the country can't go. Then think of something else. I'll take a look at the people you want, and I'll find them for you from here."

"Then it's going to be a trouble uncle. Say the good one. So much more now. I'm afraid I'm going to embarrass my uncle. I will also go to the palace to ask for the will. This must be known to the Emperor. In the future, I will give these officials who have come over an identity."

"Okay. You go and ask for the will. I'll pick it for you first. Where is that Liu County Order. Do you go for it or I'll go for it. He's a good officer. There is no intricate relationship in the capital. I rest assured that he follows you. I'm going to condemn this man for you."

"Uncle. You're so busy. Or I'll go. It also seems that I am sincere and not. It's just that I don't know where this Liu County Commander lives."

"Okay, go ahead. Where his family lives, I have a record here. I'll look for you."

Wei Yunzhong said and went to open the cabinet containing the official's files. Rummage through the archives of Liu County's order. After a while, he took out a file and looked at it and said, "Liu Xianling lives outside the West Gate. Clouds and Lane. Just ask and you'll find out. Where is the ghetto. An official must be conspicuous to live there."

Bid farewell to Wei Yunzhong. We're out of the ministry. and went again to the west gate; Simon we know. The last time I went to the human market, it was outside the West Gate. How could this Liu County Order live where. Where has always been where the homeless lived. There are hardly any decent houses. This cloud and alley we don't even know where.

Out of the West Gate. The outside are all bungalows. The streets are not good either. It's all potholed. I finally asked a lot of people. Only then did I find the clouds and lane. Arrived at the mouth of the alley. only to find out. Where is this alley. Just a small alley. Two people walking opposite each other. Also turn sideways. Not to mention the palanquins and horses.

The whole alley is thirty long. It's a dead end. No wonder it's called Cloud and Lane. At the other end of the alley is a small river. Blocked the exit of the alley. There are more than a dozen families in the whole alley. Not even a gatehouse. All wooden fence gates. Walls can also be made of adobe. So many people. I don't know which one is the courtyard of Liu County's Ling family. There was no way, Lao Liu went to the first place first. Because it is a gate with a wooden fence. Don't knock on the door. Gaps in the wooden fence. Lao Liu shouted: "Is there anyone. Is there anyone in there?"

After a while, no one spoke. Lao Liu shouted a few more times. This time, I heard an old voice from the courtyard: "Who. Are you here to rent a house?"

Lao Liu replied through the wooden fence: "Uncle. I'm here to find someone."

The old man came to the door slowly. He opened the door and said, "I don't have anyone you're looking for. They all moved away. I'm not looking for a new tenant."

"Uncle. I'm not looking for a tenant of your house. I wanted to ask you that there is a Master Liu here who lives in this alley. We're here to find Lord Liu."

"What Lord Liu. We don't have any Lord Liu in this alley. You're in the wrong place." With that, the old man closed the door. Lao Liu said that no one would pay attention to it at all. I had no choice but to let Wang Jinhuai watch the horses. Follow Lao Liu to the alley. The file of this official clearly says that Liu County Ling lives in Yunhe Lane. Is it wrong. That's impossible. Because every official is waiting for the announcement of the ministry. If you can't find their home. This notification will not be delivered. Can't be delivered. Then this official vacancy will not be in the hands of this official. Let's talk about such a slum. Lived a prefectural magistrate. Everyone should know. Now people say they don't know. There was no way out, so we had to ask one by one.

The two of us asked four in a row. Until the fifth home. After Lao Liu shouted a few times. A middle-aged man came out of the house. Wearing a coarse cloth coat. Don't look through it badly. It's very clean. I didn't recognize this man until he got to the door. This is the Liu County Order I'm looking for. Liu Xianling also recognized me and said, "Lord Lan. How are you. How did you get here?"

"Lord Liu. You're hard to find here. Don't open the door for us yet."

Liu County ordered to open the door for us. I asked Lao Liu to replace Wang Jinhuai. Only then did he follow Liu County's order and walked into the house. This small courtyard is not big. That is, four zhang wide and three zhang long. It was very clean. It looks like there's a place where things have been planted. The three main houses are the kind of thatched roofed houses. There are no wings either. Liu County ordered me to let me into the house. The house was very clean. A woman and a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old were embroidering something. For the two rooms on either side were separated by adobe. I can't see what's going on inside either. It is estimated that Liu Xianling's old father is in the back room.

There was no such chair in the room as the kind of eunuch that ordinary eunuchs had. There are only four or five small benches. Liu Xianling blushed and said, "Lord Lan. I'm too shabby here. Makes you laugh."

I took the small bench handed by Liu Xian Ling and sat down and said, "What are you talking about. LIU Adult. You're a real clean official. It would be nice if our officials in the Ming Dynasty were just like you."

"Lord Lan has an overreputation. Xia Guan just didn't want to be greedy for ink, so his family was crowded here. This is still the yard that my old father bought when he was young. Originally, I wanted me to read a book. Come to the vast lintel. Who knows. I have been an official for a few years. It's still the same as before. My salaries and silver. After paying the salary of the master and a few books, there are not a few. The old father was sick and bedridden all the year round. You also have to see a doctor and take medicine. No way. Humble Jing and the little girl went to do some embroidery work for the big family to supplement the family. I don't dare to say that it is the family of the official. The whole alley didn't know that I was an official. When I went home, I went out, and I changed my official uniform at the city gate. I'm afraid of people's jokes. An official lives in such a place. I'll be laughed at by others."

The situation of Liu County's family was something I didn't expect. I didn't expect officials to be so poor. It's not pretended. It is indeed poor. It seems that this Liu County Order is indeed a Qing official. Also the kind of officer I need. This strengthened my idea of pulling Liu County Commander under my command.
