Chapter 258: Recruiting Troops (2)

At such a close distance, even if Mei Ji held her breath, the slight flow of air in and out of her nostrils still caused Meng Yan's instinctive reaction.

The body moved, and as soon as he turned over, Meng Yan clasped Mei Ji's arms and pressed her under him at once.

The legs naturally clamped the opponent's thighs, and the two-word clamped the sheep and horses, so that they could not move.

"Magim, is that you?" When Meng Yan saw the person under him clearly, he was a little surprised, it was already dark outside at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Yan was already familiar with the dark environment, and the other party didn't fight back, otherwise, Mei Ji might have returned to the underworld with a wisp of her soul.

"Childe, you hurt me!" Mei Ji was pressed on the free chair by Meng Yan, and almost all of Meng Yan's weight was pressed on her body.

"How did you get in, and why are you so close to me?" Meng Yan was unmoved and asked.

"Childe, dinner is ready, I'm here to ask Childe to eat......" Magi explained.

"I'm asking why you're so close to me?"

"I called twice, but no one answered, so I pushed the door in, and then I saw Childe lying on a chair asleep, so I went over to take a look......" Magi said with a blushing face.

"Just take a look, no other ideas?"

"Childe, slave and maid don't dare!"

"You should know who you are, don't think about it, you know?" Meng Yan let go of Mei Ji and said.

"The slave won't dare next time!" Like a frightened rabbit, Magim got out of her chair and said with her head down.

"Well, don't get so close to me next time. I'm afraid I'll accidentally eat you! Meng Yan said.

Although in the darkness, Mei Ji could still feel Meng Yan's hot eyes as if piercing her thick cotton clothes, and it was unobstructed.

"The slave knows, the slave doesn't dare!"

"Well, is the meal ready, let's eat." Meng Yan withdrew his gaze, tidied up his clothes, and walked outside with his feet raised.

"Son, tomorrow is the New Year, I want to clean up the house. Worship the Lord of the Stove? Shen Cong said during the meal.

"Shen Cong. You don't have to ask me about these things, I don't have time to care about them. Meng Yan said.

"On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month?"

"I'll discuss this with Xiaoyu. You do it first. Just buy everything you need to buy for me. If you don't understand, please consult Mr. Cai, he has been married. Meng Yan pointed at Cai Jindao.

"Childe. Am I taking a wife, not a concubine? Cai Jin was stunned.

"It's all the same, this matter, Mr. Cai is bothered, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of these these days." Meng Yan Road.

"Well, the old man will reluctantly take this errand." Cai Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Yiqiē comes according to the rules, but it must be simple, guest, let Xiaoyu decide for herself!" Meng Yan Road.

"Son, this is not good, how can you take a concubine and let the concubine decide to have a treat?" Cai Jindao.

"I said okay, isn't it you people on my side, what other guests are there?" Meng Yan said, "It's good to get two or three tables, and it's not just a wife or a concubine, so you don't have to be so grand." ”

"What should this Mrs. Yu be when she marries into our family?" Shen Cong asked.

"What do you want her to be?"

"I, for me, whether it is Mrs. Guo Yue or Mrs. Yu, they are Shen Cong's masters, there is no difference." Shen Cong scratched his head and said.

"Shen Cong, how can you say that, Miss Guo Yue married the wife of the princess, who is in charge of the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Yu's identity is just a concubine, this wife and concubine are different, and they can't be confused!" Cai Jin said.

Meng Yan frowned slightly, this question is related to the harmony of the family in the future, as the head of the family, he must set the tone, otherwise there will be trouble in the future!

"Listen to Mr. Cai, in the future, the family will be dominated by Xiao Yue, if Mrs. Yue and Mrs. Yu have an opinion to the left, listen to Mrs. Yue." Meng Yan Road.

"Shen Cong understood."

"Xiaoyue hasn't passed the door yet, and after Xiaoyu enters the door, the family's financial income and expenditure are temporarily handed over to her to manage." Meng Yan added.

"Yes, Childe!"

"Son, ......" Cai Jin opened his mouth to object.

"Mr. Cai, I know what you're going to say, but what I'm trying to say is that the right people do the right things, and Xiao Yue's status in the mansion won't change because of this, you can rest assured!" Meng Yan Road.

"Got it!"

Early the next morning, Meng Yan took Lin Tianxing and Cai Jin out of the house, he wanted to complete the personnel of the inspection envoy before the imperial court yamen sealed, once the yamen was sealed, it would be a month later.

If this matter is not finalized, he is not sure.

"Son, where should we go first?"

"The people of Jinyi Wei are not in a hurry for the time being, they can come over at any time, let's go to the criminal department first." Meng Yan Road.

In the Criminal Department, the person who received Meng Yan was the head of the Metropolitan Official Department, surnamed Tao, who looked sixty or seventy years old, and it was difficult to walk or talk!

The Criminal Department sent such an official to receive him, which was obviously unhappy with Meng Yan.

The secretary of the criminal department thought that Meng Yan was making such a fuss in the prison of the criminal department, and many officials of the criminal department were implicated, and Wang Zhen, the secretary of the criminal department, fell ill because of this anger.

Now the criminal department is presided over by the right attendant Jin Yao.

"Master Tao, has the holy will arrived?"

"What, Lord Meng asked if the official had breakfast?" Director Tao said with a pair of old eyes.

"Master Tao, this official is asking, has the holy will arrived?"

"What did you say, you invited me to lunch?"

Meng Yan couldn't cry or laugh, how could there be such an official in this criminal department, if he came to him to do something, he wouldn't kill people in a hurry.

"Master Tao, are you old this year?"

"Lord Meng is asking me how old I am?" Director Tao nodded.

Yes, that's pretty clear.

"Yes, yes!"

"I'm sixty-seven years old." Director Tao grinned and smiled at Meng Yan.

"You're so old, you should have gone home and teased your grandson?" Meng Yan said unceremoniously.

"Yes. Yes, Master Meng is about the same age as my grandson......"

Meng Yan laughed and laughed, this deaf person is selective and listens to people's words, shielding him unfavorably, and hearing very clearly if it is beneficial to him.

"Son, this old guy surnamed Tao is clearly ......"

"Tianxing, be cautious, this is not the Nanya craftsman." Meng Yan stretched out his hand to stop.

"Yes!" Lin Tianxing closed his mouth unwillingly.

"Son, it seems that the Criminal Department has a lot of prejudices against you, and I'm afraid you're here for nothing today!" Cai Jin also smiled bitterly.

"I expected it. Anyway, I already have a candidate in mind. Coming to the Criminal Department to pick people is just for show! Meng Yan smiled slightly.

"Who?"

"Zhang Xuan, the former Langzhong of the Criminal Department, is now the director of the Sichuan Department of the Criminal Department." Meng Yan Road.

"My lord, isn't this Zhang Xuan a little ...... relationship with Mrs. Yu," Lin Tianxing said in surprise.

"Relationship**, huh?"

"I know that. A woman like Xiaoyu is an excellent man. There is a fatal attraction. But I'm sure they haven't gotten that far, not to mention, it was just wishful thinking on his part from the beginning! Meng Yan said.

"Then why are you looking for him?"

"There are so many officials in the Criminal Department. There may be people like him, but in the case of Bai Suxin, he insisted on his opinion and did not let the case pass like this in his hands, which shows that he is a righteous person, which is exactly what our inspector Yamen needs! Meng Yan explained.

"But is he doing it for Lady Rain?"

"For a woman to be able to do this, she can be regarded as an infatuated lover, infatuated lovers are generally paranoid, so this is the kind of person I want!"

"This old decay really agrees with the son, Zhang Xuan has been in the officialdom for less than three years, and he was soon promoted to the criminal department, he is obviously a very capable official, and he is still very young, his career has just begun, there is no slippery oil that has been wasted in the officialdom for half his life, even if there are some mistakes, he can also be transformed." Cai Jindao.

"What Mr. Cai said is right, young officials are more malleable, and Xiaoyu told me that this Zhang Xuan's character is still good, he is fair in judging cases, he is honest and honest, and he is a young man who likes to study and think." Meng Yan Road.

"But Gongzi, the people from the Criminal Department don't cooperate, and we don't know where Zhang Xuan works, so we can't just break in, this is someone else's territory?" Lin Tianxingdao.

"So, Tianxing, you ......"

"My lord, will this work?" Lin Tianxing's eyes widened.

"Okay, you'll know if you try it!" Meng Yan smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

"Master Tao, the official still has something to do, let's come back another day."

"Oh, okay, Master Meng, the next official won't send it!" Director Tao heard it clearly this time, Meng Yan was leaving, and Director Tao seemed to show an imperceptible smile.

"Son, I paid attention to the Tao master just now, he is not deaf at all, and his hands and feet are quite flexible!" Out of the gate of the Criminal Department, Cai Jin said to Meng Yan.

"I can see that people are deliberately chasing us, and we are not here to settle grudges, so why bother to tell it?" Meng Yan nodded.

"That's what Childe said."

"Mr. Cai, let's go, let's go to Dexing Teahouse for tea!" Meng Yan Road.

"Son, don't you go to the Imperial Procuratorate?"

"It's not a big problem over there in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the people I want, as long as I say it, people will come over, but this Dali Temple, I don't have any good candidates, this time I really have a good look." Meng Yan Road.

"There is a building yì in the old decay?"

"Say, Mr. Cai, do you still need this between you and me?"

"There are a lot of old officials in Dali Temple who specialize in prisons, and these people are proficient in the law and punishment, why don't we choose from them?" Cai Jindao.

"You mean people who specialize in criminal investigation?" Meng Yan's heart moved, and the handling of cases was professional and efficient.

He is barely a professional, but he can't let him do all the professional things alone, he needs a group of professional people to help.

"Yes, Childe!"

"This is a good suggestion of yours, what we want is this kind of professional talent." Meng Yan said, "Mr. Cai, let's go back and go to Master Sai, I think, he will give us a list of what we want." (To be continued......)
