Chapter 330 turned out to be an old man

The so-called friends from other provinces are actually from the capital, which is not surprising to Guo Min'an.

What is the matter if you are well-informed, the jade pendant of the county lord of Yuanle, even if some people who have seen and heard it know, it is impossible to see it after all, and it is impossible to be sure at a glance, it is the county lord's thing.

When Liu Ziwang came to the mansion with the jade pendant that day, didn't he not be able to tell whether the jade pendant was real or fake, or did he have to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi to look at it before he dared to confirm it?

Guo Minan frowned, but did not answer Gao Mingzhi's words.

Gao Mingzhi looked at it and found that he had no intention of opening his mouth at all, so he had a plan in his heart, and said to himself: "The grass people still knew him when they were in Fujian, his surname is Du, and he is also a businessman, and he is a businessman from his ancestors, he is a good person, and he has his own set of rules for doing business, and the grass people like to deal with such people." ”

As he spoke, he paused again, pursed his lips and thought for a moment: "The adults are not in the business, maybe you don't know, in fact, there are many businessmen in Qizhou City now, and Master Wei is considered to be top-notch, but my lord, to be honest, the grass people really don't want to deal with people like Master Wei." ”

This was a big surprise to Guo Minan.

As far as he knows, Wei Ye is a generous and extremely generous person, and he is not difficult with others in the business field, and he does not hold any shelf, he should be a very good person to deal with, how can there be someone who does not like to deal with people like him?

Gao Mingzhi probably saw Guo Min'an's confusion, and sneered: "My lord, you ignored it, the grass people said, gradually he is a person with good rules and business, and the rules are his own, he uses them to restrain himself, but he never imposes them on others." ”

In other words, Wei Ye is an extremely unruly person?

But where does this begin?

Guo Min thought so with peace of mind, so he naturally asked like this: "In your words, Wei Ye is an extremely unruly person?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, my lord," Gao Mingzhi was still calm, laughed lightly, and went back, "My lord, Master Wei has been in business for so many years and knows so many people, you can also go and inquire, what is Master Wei like when he does business with people every day - things in this world have never been unruly, but Master Wei has never been a person who abides by the rules, otherwise how could he squeeze out the Chen family and become an imperial businessman in Beijing in the past?" Although more than ten years have passed, we have never dared to forget it in our hearts. ”

Gao Mingzhi seemed to talk about him left and right, but inadvertently reminded Guo Min'an.

In fact, Wei Ye has come all the way to today, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a very skillful person, but usually such a person cannot be offended, no one knows what kind of means he will use to harm others behind his back, just like he had the ability to squeeze out the Chen family back then.

But according to Gao Mingzhi's current meaning, this Du Yanzhi is a person who can be cited by him as a confidant?

And he always felt that these words of Gao Mingzhi were ...... In this way, it is as if someone was guiding him and deliberately saying it to himself.

Guo Minan took a deep breath: "The Du Yanzhi you talked about, where are the people now?" According to what you said, you have been old friends for many years, and since he has not left Qizhou, most of the officials want to come here, most of them are living in your mansion, right? ”

Gao Ming raised his eyebrows, but he didn't deny it, and nodded and said yes.

Guo Min'an glanced over to Zheng Ze, Zheng Ze immediately understood, walked off the high platform quickly, didn't even look at Gao Ming, and hurriedly went out, took three or five officials, and went all the way to Gaofu.

When he came back with Du Yanzhi, Guo Minan was above the lobby, and almost at a glance, he recognized the man standing under the hall.

The ancestors were passed down from business?

It's a good generation to be in business.

Guo Min'an made a straight face, watching Du Jianzhi kneel down and bow, and before Du Jianzhi could speak, his voice sank: "Chief Du is now, isn't it the majestic General Manager of the Xu family in the past?" ”

Gao Mingzhi's eyebrows on the side were together, his eyes flashed dazed, he looked sideways at Du Jianzhi who was kneeling beside him, and then turned to look at Guo Min'an: "My lord? ”

Guo Min'an saw him in such a situation, so he laughed out loud: "It seems that Master Gao, you are also a person who knows no one, I originally heard you praise you like this, and the official thought that this Master Du should be a person with a good demeanor, it seems that in the past ten years, Master Gao, you have been deceived for a long time - Du Qinian, you left Xu Ge's hometown six years ago, how did you become a businessman who has been in business for generations?" Think about it, it's really a time shift, in the past, you Du Daguan walked sideways in Beijing, relying on Xu Ge Lao to support you, and even the official who returned to Beijing to report on his work was not in his eyes - the four products of the imperial court, you saw the official, and you didn't even bother to do a salute, but now in the hall of this mansion, you can see the head of Du bending down and kneeling, kowtowing and saluting, which is really unexpected. ”

Gao Mingzhi's mouth opened wide when he boarded, and he couldn't say half a word.

Gradually, he ...... How could he ......

Du Qinian's face on the side did not change, but he sneered: "I didn't leave Qizhou, I thought that there would be a day when I would meet Lord Guo, naturally, I also knew my identity, and I couldn't hide it from Lord Guo." As for the deception of Naruyuki...... Master Guo, this is nonsense. I left the Xu family back then, naturally there are my reasons, and then when I go out to do business, I always have to have some identity to cover up, not to say that I have been in business for generations, people only think that I am an ignorant person, what do I do to settle down? Yes, it wasn't like he had deceived anyone. ”

He admitted it so calmly, and Gao Ming sat down for a while: "You...... You're actually ...... I have treated you with sincerity for so many years, but you have lied to me for so many years? ”

……

After seeing Du Qinian, Guo Minan felt more and more that he was confused about this matter.

He didn't have any evidence to prove that Du Qinian might have something to do with this matter, so it was not good to put him in prison, besides, after all, Du Qinian had been working by Xu Jingshan's side for so long and had served for more than 20 years, he said that there was a reason for leaving the Xu family back then, but Guo Minan has no way of knowing this reason, he is rash to move Du Qinian, will it annoy Xu Jingshan, and he dare not take risks.

Originally, he took the matter of Wangxing Gambling House to open the knife, but he had already taken a risk, and the gamble was nothing more than Xu Jingshan did not dare to show up rashly to embarrass him.

Guo Min'an retreated from the hall and sent Gao Mingzhi and Du Qinian away, but secretly instructed Zheng Ze to send someone to keep an eye on the Gao family, especially Du Qinian, and never allowed Du Qinian to leave Qizhou City for half a step, if he had the intention of leaving, he immediately went back and forth to him, and when he was in the hall, he also clearly told Du Qinian, this case so far, there are still many doubts, before the case is thoroughly investigated, he can't leave Qizhou without authorization, if Du Qinian dares to secretly want to run, just take someone back to the mansion.

However, the explanation is explained, and today, the matter has become a mess again.

Originally, last night, he thought that he had figured out the clue, maybe as long as it could be confirmed that Wang Quan was not dead, and that the corpse was just stealing the day, then this matter, most likely, would have nothing to do with Wei Ye.

The reason why he wanted to pull this businessman from Waifu out to check it again was just to figure it out and see if there was any connection between this person and Wei Ye.

It's just that he never expected that person would be Du Qinian.

Guo Min'an's headache was committed again, and when Zheng Ze pushed the door open and entered the back hall, he saw him pressing his temples with an unkind face.

Zheng Zesan stepped forward in two steps: "My lord, I have already explained, and I have sent two classes of officials to take turns staring at the Gao family and Du Qinian." But my lord, this Du Qinian...... What are you talking about, Xu Ge Lao...... Cabinet Chief, many? ”

Guo Min'an snorted, his voice sounded muffled, and waved his hand to ask him to sit: "This Du Qinian, who used to be the chief manager of Xu Ge's old mansion, followed Xu Ge Lao for more than 20 years, and six years ago, he suddenly left the Xu family, and he hasn't seen this person since." ”

Zheng Ze gasped: "When the official listened to the adults talking to him in the hall, he was a little ...... Some ......"

"Gnashing your teeth?" Guo Minan smiled and looked up, "What don't you dare to say?" ”

Zheng Ze scratched his head with his backhand embarrassedly, and his face was a little sneering: "It's just that the adult is a good-natured person, and the lower officials have followed the adults for so many years, and they have never seen adults treat people like this, so I don't know what to say for a while." ”

"Do you remember-" Guo Min'an stretched the tail note, remembering the events of many years ago, he felt even more headache, and the strength in his hand was heavier, "Seven years ago, I was just promoted to the prefect of Jiangzhou, returned to Beijing to report on my work and thanked him, returned to Jiangzhou from the capital, for more than half a month, I was sullen, and my temper was not very good, and I always wanted to get angry when I saw people. It's just that I didn't talk to you in detail, so I won't mention it, remember? ”

Of course, Zheng Ze remembered this incident.

If he has been following adults for so many years, there has been a time when he was extremely afraid of adults and did not dare to approach, it was only more than half a month ago seven years ago - the adults at that time were extremely scary, and he was even thinking, how can a good person, just promoted to an official, like a different person? The rebirth is not so fast, this blink of an eye, I went to the capital to report on my work, and then returned to Jiangzhou, my temper is big, I want to get angry when I see anyone, and I want to scold people if I don't agree, which is really scary.

He discussed with Bai An for a long time, and still felt that the adult might have encountered something, not that he had changed his mind, so he hardened his head and asked several times, and later, the adult's situation was much better, and his temper was not so big.

At that time, he and Bai An wanted to ask again, how to be frivolous, and how to reload the adult, so that the adult would be angry with the people around him like this, but the adult was silent and refused to say anything, and then Bai An persuaded him, since the adult was unwilling to talk about it in detail, but he mentioned this matter again, then think about this matter, in the adult's heart, even if it is in the past, why do you have to ask the adult to say it in detail, isn't that poking the adult's sore spot?

He thought it was very reasonable, so he didn't ask any more, just as if nothing had happened, and after so many years, he never mentioned that incident or that person again.

However, today, after seeing Du Qi, I think about the attitude and performance of the adults in the hall, and what the adults are talking about......

Zheng Ze was not confused, and when he understood the connection, he was also surprised: "The frivolous Meng Lang that the adults said back then, is it this Du Qinian?" ”

He stared at Guo Min'an intently, almost word for word, and asked out loud.

Guo Minan was silent for a long time before finally nodding heavily: "That year, I was just promoted to the prefect of Jiangzhou, and I went to Beijing to report on my work and thank you, but what happened in the capital, and none of you mentioned it again. Xu Ge Lao had the intention to remind me at that time, but you know, I went from a small Qipin county order to today's position step by step, relying on it, I have never formed a party for personal gain, I am only willing to do my part well, and my teacher, with Xu Ge Lao, is not very dealing...... Therefore, because I didn't want to form a party or live up to my teacher, I blindly refused to resign, after all, Xu Ge Lao was in a high position, and he probably felt that I didn't know what to do, so I didn't mention this stubble three or two times, and Du Qinian was at that time, and he ridiculed me——"

He sighed silently and shook his head blindly: "Actually, if you put it today, I really won't be angry, I was still young and vigorous at that time." Du Qinian is a minion, but people say that the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door, this is really true, he has been waiting with Xu Ge for a long time, walking sideways in the capital, and the officials in Beijing also sell him this face to some extent. At that time, he found me by himself, saying that I was a person who didn't know what to do, and he thought that if he had the ability and talent, he would be able to rise step by step and get ahead, and he had failed the hearts of the adults in their family, and he was really a bastard. ”

Zheng Ze gasped, and his face didn't look good.

Such words, coming out of the mouth of a minion, are simply a great shame!

What's more, being an upright official has always been the strength of adults, and for many years, adults have never attached themselves to them, nor have they deliberately curried favor with the ministers of the DPRK and China, these are what they all see.

In the past, Xu Ge Lao intended to be enveloped, and probably felt that the adult was indeed a capable person, and he would be able to achieve great things in the future, but he didn't appreciate it a few times, and Xu Ge Lao did it, but Du Qinian was a slave, and he came to the door to ridicule him, what kind of system did he become!

It's no wonder that adults are so angry after leaving the capital, in this way, even today, it is very infuriating!
