Chapter 557: The Family Moves to the Upper Capital City
"Okay, then I'll just say it, this matter is not easy to deal with for the time being, after all, the matter involves the imperial court officials, and I have to go back to the capital to ask the emperor to play."
Lu Li obviously didn't tell everyone everything that happened today, after all, this matter is indeed as Lu Li said, the first is that the prefect was bought by the Green Shade Building, which involves corruption and bribery between officials and businessmen, the second is that there are people behind the owner of the Shadow Building, which involves covering up favoritism, and the third is whether this matter can be established depends on how Wei Yuqin chooses.
After all, I am afraid that many officials will be implicated in this matter, and this matter can only be decided after discussing with Wei Yuqin in advance, not to mention that the disability of the gang has the potential of so many people, just say that the prefect's inaction, even if he is caught, he will not be punished.
But the guy didn't think so, he just wanted the government to catch the culprit and give him justice, where could a civilian know what the truth of officialdom was, so he was very unhappy with what Lu Li said.
"This lord, is it difficult for the government to arrest someone?"
The man's words had a questioning tone, although this was not the tone that a slave should say to his master, but Lu Li didn't mean to blame him, and he was very patient with him.
"Don't worry, we have to talk about the current matter, if you act rashly, I'm afraid that our entire Lu Mansion will not be safe, you don't have to worry, even if your legs and feet are inconvenient now, but I can still raise you by Lu Li!"
"Since the master has said so, then the slave can only believe in the master, the master can rest assured, the slave will never eat the idle food of the Lu Mansion, and I will do everything I can!"
Maybe the cook just looked at the honest enthusiasm of the guy, so she secretly promised him.
Although Lu Li did not say a specific result, the man was still grateful for what Lu Li said, originally he was injured not because of Lu Fu, but because of the cook, compared to Lu Li, he had no responsibility to let a crippled, and he was still an idler who couldn't read a single word.
Su Xiaoman also knew that she was widely implicated at this time, but she never had a clear understanding of the affairs in the officialdom, so she couldn't say anything to help her husband.
When he was about to order him to go down to dinner, he heard a shocking word, which was said by the husband next to him.
"In that case, madam, these days are going to be hard for you, let's move our family to the capital, after all, it is more convenient to do things in the capital, if the emperor is allowed to play, maybe there will be a busy."
For Lu Li's decision, everyone looked at him in astonishment, really saying that one is one out, Su Xiaoman was also stunned by Lu Li's decision, and reacted after a while and replied: "Husband, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to handle, or you write a letter to the imperial brother first, and see how he reacts!" ”
Lu Li shook his head in front of everyone, rejected Su Xiaoman's suggestion, and said: "Madam, you also know what the situation in Jiangnan is now, if my Lu Mansion is still here, it won't be criticized, not to mention that it's not good for us to live in the palace all the time, so let's just move our family to Shangjing!" ”
Su Xiaoman has no friends in Shangjing, and there are people like Huangfu and Wei Yuan in Jiangnan who can walk around and not be bored, but now that Lu Li is suddenly going to move, it really makes her a little at a loss.
But seeing his resolute appearance, he had been thinking about moving here for a long time, otherwise Lu Li would not have suddenly said this, which surprised everyone.
"Okay, whatever the husband says, you all heard it, just start packing up tomorrow, this house is vacant, or sell it!"
The tone of his voice was a little discouraged, after all, this house has only been purchased for a year, and the wind direction facing north and south is also suitable for them to live in, and now they suddenly have to move to the capital, and it will be busy for a while.
After ordering everything, the people in the house got busy, packed up their bags, and saw that it was getting late, and then rested.
The next morning, Su Xiaoman got up and cleaned up, thinking that he would go to the construction department earlier to see if there was any house in the capital for sale, but he only saw the guards at the door striding towards the main courtyard.
Respectfully arched his hand and said: "Madame came to the door of a yamen's officer, saying that there is something important to report!" ”
"Okay, take the people to the lobby! I'll be right later! ”
Su Xiaoman didn't expect the people from the government to come so quickly, he originally thought that the said day would drag on for two or three days, and then got up and walked through the verandah to the lobby.
Seeing Su Xiaoman's figure, the official immediately stepped forward and stood at the door and respectfully bowed his hand.
"Princess!"
"Tell me, is there something you want to report from the prefect?"
The official stepped forward hesitantly, looked at Su Xiaoman without saying anything, his expression was very strange, and he said with a stumbling appearance: "The princess and the prefect caught a gangster last night, and the little one heard the prefect talking to the gangster in prison about a deal!" ”
Su Xiaoman's eyebrows were furrowed, and he questioned the words of the servant: "What deal?" ”
"The prefect said that the master of the injured person was not easy to offend, so he let the gangster impersonate the crime, and this matter should be over like this, and specially ordered the little one to report to the princess that the gangster has been caught and has confessed!"
Su Xiaoman was a little curious about what the official said, no matter how he said that this official was also a person from the prefect's house, how could he help him get the news, not to mention anything else, looking at him sweating profusely, Su Xiaoman knew that he was afraid.
"Why do you want to tell me these things about the prefect, aren't you afraid that the prefect will come to you to settle accounts after the autumn?"
Su Xiaoman puffed up his chest and drank unhurriedly with a teacup in his hand, and his tone of voice was also very postureous, giving people a very powerful aura.
The official did not dare to look up at her when he spoke to her.
"Princess Gong doesn't know, many of the servants of our government have been cheated by the prefect, obviously we risked death in front of the criminal, but the prefect didn't mention our merits at all, and the wages given to us were also deducted and deducted, it was simply a living Zhou Peel!"
The official complained to Su Xiaoman about everything in the prefect's house, and gritted his teeth at his bad traces, and couldn't help but feel what the life of the people in Jiangnan should be.
I thought that Wei Yuqin had done a good job at all levels, but the parents of these little people were not strictly reviewed, and secretly said to himself: When I go back, I must let the imperial brother formulate a good promotion system, and we must increase the punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
"Then you reported to me today, how can you explain when you go back?"
Seeing that Su Xiaoman didn't mean to blame, the official thought that his declaration was accepted, so he had nothing to fear, so he straightened up and said: "Princess, you don't have to worry, as long as you can pull down this corrupt official for the people of Jiangnan, even if the small one is on the knife mountain and down the oil pot!" ”
The words are sonorous and powerful, Su Xiaoman still has a high opinion of the official in front of him, if nothing else, even if it is for the people of Jiangnan to live and work in peace and contentment, he must pull this corrupt prefect down.
"Good! If you go back to the yamen first, you will say that the princess already knows, and if you are busy recently, please ask the prefect to take the prisoner into custody first, and when the princess is busy with this time, she will go to the yamen to visit the prefect again! ”
Listening to Su Xiaoman's words, he thought that he had listened to his own meaning, and after listening to Su Xiaoman's words, he quickly returned to the yamen to report, and as he expected, the prefect did not suspect much, but just shook his hand casually, and regarded the matter as if it was over.
The time for the official to meet has passed little by little, and it is almost noon in a blink of an eye, and it is almost time to go to the construction division when the hour is counted, but fortunately the pearl was ordered to go to the construction department first to get the brand, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the brand.
Pearl has been chatting with the little guy last time at the door of the construction division for a while, and he didn't see Su Xiaoman's carriage, drinking pot after pot of tea in the tea stall, the little guy in front of him is simply a master of chattering, saying that he is basically not thirsty all morning, and Pearl is about to become calloused, and it is not good to tell him to shut up because of his face.
Seeing Su Xiaoman's carriage approaching, and the little girl was still nagging in his ear, Pearl stood up straight excitedly and ran directly to Su Xiaoman's carriage.
"Madam, you can be regarded as coming, that little maid has killed the slave and maid ink!"
Pearl complained to Su Xiaoman impatiently, last time I knew that this little guy was very good at talking, but being able to say it all morning also made Su Xiaoman laugh for a while, especially the aggrieved look on Pearl's face, which was even more smiling.
"Alright, let's go in first!"
"Madam, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you here to buy a house today? I heard Pearl say that you want to find a house in Shangjing? Could it be that this house in Jiangnan is not comfortable to live in? ”
As soon as he came up, he asked a lot of questions, and asked in front of Su Xiaoman, and he didn't say that Su Xiaoman was happy to answer.
"No, it's just that my husband is an official in the court, and it's not good to live too far away and never stay at home!"
Su Xiaoman's words made the little guy guess a little, for men, the matter of not being at home is equivalent to nostalgia for those Qin Lou Chu Pavilions, so the little guy also had a trace of pity for Su Xiaoman: "Also, it's really not good for men to be away from home often, but with your beautiful face, there are still a few women in this world who can match you!" ”
guessed that the little guy had heard Su Xiaoman's words, but he didn't expect it to be like this, Su Xiaoman was not easy to deal with him, and Pearl helped Su Xiaoman to enter the construction department.
Seeing that Su Xiaoman didn't answer again, the little maid thought that he had said something wrong and made the guests unhappy, so he didn't say anything more, but just obediently brought the two of them into the auction hall that they had come to once before.
