Chapter 248: Before and After People
Xu Mingyuan watched He Hehe move out of the gate, get on a rather spacious donkey cart, and let a thin old man drive away.
Xu Mingyuan went out and just wanted to walk back to Qi Mansion directly, but a carriage had stopped at the door. Yi, who was pulling the reins, threw a look at Xu Mingyuan and motioned for him to get into the car.
Seeing this, Xu Mingyuan got into the carriage with a smile and went to Qi Mansion by Yila.
When he arrived at Qi Mansion, Yi is went back directly, Xu Mingyuan knocked on the door and entered Qi Mansion, thinking that it was time to hire a coachman and get a carriage.
In the past, it didn't matter, when you go out, you should take Yi out to play together, and the carriage or something is just a means of transportation.
But now it's different, no matter what he says, he can be regarded as the head of the room in the Yuntai Division, he can not care about it himself, but other people's eyes and gossip can still be avoided.
It doesn't cost much money to buy a carriage and hire a coachman, and it is much more convenient to go out or something, and you can go and see it when you are free one day.
And last year, he still had more than 100,000 taels of silver on hand, which could not buy a big yard in the bustling market, but if it was in a slightly less lively workshop, it would not cost much silver to get a few yards.
However, now Xu Mingyuan has no plans to move out of Qi Mansion and let Qi Yueru and Xiao Xia, two little girls, live here, he is still a little worried.
Of course, he can't live here forever, and if he can easily move in one day, he will gladly go and buy a courtyard elsewhere to live in.
After having dinner with Qi Yueru and them, Xu Mingyuan walked around the courtyard for a while, and then went directly back to his room.
When the two heard that Xu Mingyuan had become an official, they were very happy. However, Xu Mingyuan didn't talk to them in detail, only said that he was an idle man with little power.
After returning to the room, lighting the oil lamp, and sleeping for a day during the day, Xu Mingyuan did not feel the slightest sleep, took the book from the shelf, and put it aside without being busy reading, but thinking about the things in the Qinglong Room today.
He Hehe still needs to be investigated, Lu Yu has decided to replace him, this person is quite angry, unwilling to be under him, although he has tried his best to hide, he still can't hide the joy of gaining power.
As for Liu Simiao, this person has no desire to fight for power, if this person is willing to go out of the mountain again, it is much more worthy of Xu Mingyuan than He Hehe.
Xu Mingyuan did not contact the others, and he did not plan to contact too many people for the time being, so as not to cause Lu Yu's backlash and uneasiness. Boiling frogs in warm water, this matter has to be done slowly.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Yuntai Division, Qinglong Room, in a room with a closed door and an oil lamp, a young scholar stood beside Lu Yu, who was sitting behind the desk, and whispered: "Xu Yishi has been sleeping the rest of the time except for reading a book in the room today. After the fat man in the middle sent the information in, it didn't take long for him to come out again with the information, and the little one asked him carefully, saying that Xu Yanshi felt that there was too much information, so he asked him to pick some important ones and send them again. ”
"Has he seen anyone else? Or have you traveled anywhere else? Lu Yu's hand holding the brush paused slightly, dropped a little thick ink on the paper, turned his head to look at the young scholar and asked.
The young scholar thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Except for a round in the courtyard at noon, Xu Yishi has never entered another room, but he drank two sips of wine with Old Man Liu under the stone tablet and said a few words, but the little one was far away and didn't hear what the two were talking about." ”
After a pause, the young scholar said again: "But Old Man Liu doesn't talk nonsense on weekdays, and he can't be sober when he drinks all day, so it is estimated that he just said something that attracted Xu Yanshi, so he will chat with him."
Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, raised his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first, keep an eye on him tomorrow, and report to me if there is any situation." ”
The scholar bowed in answer and walked towards the door.
"I'll be evaluated in a few days, Zhou Jun, you perform well on weekdays, don't you always want to go back to Qianzhong Road, so as to honor your father, I heard that there is a vacancy in the branch over there, and I plan to let you go." Lu Yu put aside the piece of music that had been ruined by a little ink, and said unhurriedly.
The scholar who was called Zhou Jun by him was stunned for a moment, then showed ecstasy, turned around and rushed to Lu Yu and shook the ground, and said gratefully: "Thank you Governor Lu." ”
Lu Yu raised his hand, lowered his head and wrote the folds in front of him, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Zhou Jun went out softly, slowly closed the door, clenched his fists and walked out for more than ten steps, only then did he let out a low cheer and left quickly.
Lu Yu, who had been keeping his head down, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the direction of the door, and showed a somewhat elusive smile.
……
Early the next morning, Xu Mingyuan got up early, and after getting dressed, he first went to the door to bring Yi in and had breakfast together, and then went to Yuntai Division together.
His position is really idle, generally speaking, for example, people from the Criminal Department and Jingzhao Mansion don't need him to come forward, and most of them don't even need Lu Yu to come forward.
Unless the squire of the criminal department comes to the door, he may be able to consider whether to meet him, and of course such a thing is almost impossible, unless it is a major event like the assassination of the prince and princess last time.
Twice in seven days, the rest of the time, if Xu Mingyuan doesn't want to come to Yuntai Division, it doesn't matter, the time is very free.
Yesterday was the first time to go, so Xu Mingyuan naturally still had to go today, and he also wanted to see if the information compiled by He Hehe was really as neat as he said.
Today, Xu Mingyuan knew the road by himself, so he asked Yi to go and walked to the courtyard of the Qinglong House by himself. The people who saw Xu Mingyuan along the way all saluted respectfully.
went straight back to his room, the tea on the table had been replaced with a new one, and Xu Mingyuan took a random book from the bookshelf and looked at it.
It didn't take long for footsteps to come from outside the door, and Xu Mingyuan looked up to see that it was He Hehe who walked into the door with a neat stack of materials, only about one-third of the thickness of the last time.
He Hehe gently put the stack of materials on the table, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said casually: "Xu Yanshi, this is the information you want, are you satisfied with it." ”
Xu Mingyuan glanced at him, and pulled out a note from the top, it was three months ago, a secret report from Shannan Dongdao, which was submitted by the branch of the Yuntai Division, about the collusion of local officials and businessmen.
This matter can be big or small, but the interesting thing is that there are also several martial arts sects mixed in it, which makes things a little complicated. Combined with some secret reports received before, the collusion of local officials and businessmen with the martial arts sect has become a common pattern.
Then Xu Mingyuan flipped through a few more twists and turns, in addition to some twists and turns that were indeed big things, there were also some twists and turns that looked like things were not big, but they were somewhat interesting, which also made Xu Mingyuan's evaluation of He Hehe's ability improve a little.
"You go down first, if you have any information to send next time, you pick it out first. Of course, if something important is missing, if someone asks me about something I should know but didn't know, then you're responsible. Xu Mingyuan looked up at He Hehe and nodded.
Although He Hehe had a look of grievance on his face, he didn't say anything, and went out after answering. (To be continued.) )
