Chapter 712: Let's wait for the autumn queen to settle accounts
Zhong Dianshi is Cao Hongshou's deputy, and he must know the situation in the entire yamen. The little guy has always been by his side, and what Zhong Dianshi knows, he naturally knows.
As soon as he heard the name of the place, he knew that it was not the address of anyone in the yamen, let alone the address of Yu Huaigu—Yu Huaigu was just a small official, his family was not rich, and he had many children, and the salary he received in the yamen was only enough to support his family, and he lived in a small old house.
Seeing that Yu Huaigu got on the mule cart, the little guy immediately turned around and ran back, just as Zhong Dianshi's carriage came out.
He hurriedly jumped into the car, pointed to the mule cart in front of him and said to the driver, "Follow that car." ”
Zhong Dianshi frowned and asked, "Who is sitting in that car?" "It won't be Du Jinning.
"It's the remnant of the Ministry of Works. Lord Du is his supervisor, and the villain just heard him report a place name, on the shore of Xiqing Lake, which should be Lord Du's residence. The little guy said.
Zhong Dianshi's brow furrowed even tighter.
He originally gave Du Jinning a lot of embarrassment, and it would definitely be unpleasant to meet after a while, maybe Du Jinning would double this embarrassment to him. If Yu Warden's subordinates were present, where would his face go?
But Yu Huaigu went, if he didn't go, what if Du Jinning misunderstood that he didn't have the intention of the city and directly took his official position? He can even kill Cao Hongshou and take off his unpopular black gauze hat, isn't it easy?
Is face important, or is official position important?
Thinking like this, Zhong Dianshi gritted his teeth and said, "Go, follow that car." ”
Du Jinning's house was not in the most prosperous area of the city, so the two cars walked one after the other for a while, and then entered a spacious street, and finally stopped in front of a house.
Although it is not lively here, but because of the lake, the scenery is good, the area is spacious, those who like the quiet environment of the scholar like to come here to build a house, over time, it has formed a street, the people living on the street are not some culture, vassal elegance of the rich people, or literati and ink writers.
However, people with money and family backgrounds do not live here, but live in the bustling area of the city, which belongs to the old street, which is relatively close to the state government.
This is also the reason why Zhong Dianshi's little servant guessed that this was Du Jinning's residence as soon as he heard this address.
New to the city, with little money, but wanting to live in a spacious and tidy place, this is undoubtedly the best choice. As long as the money is sufficient, any house can be bought, and others can choose another place to build another. Unlike the prosperous areas of the city, some people live a poor life and refuse to sell the old houses handed down from their ancestors.
Zhong Dianshi's carriage naturally did not stop in one place with Yu Huaigu's mule cart, and when Yu Huaigu's mule cart stopped, he stopped twenty or thirty meters away.
Zhong Dianshi was thinking about whether to wait for Yu Huaigu to enter after leaving the Du family, and then he heard his own little servant "Huh".
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"It shouldn't be the door of Lord Du's house." The little servant said, "After getting out of the car, the warden took a few steps forward, then stopped, hid behind a tree and looked ahead. ”
When Zhong Dianshi heard this, he also stretched out his head from the car window to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Yu Huaigu hiding behind a tree. Looking in the direction that Yu Huaigu was looking at, Zhong Dianshi was taken aback.
It turned out that the colleagues who were pointing to the reason for slipping away were all standing in front of a tall courtyard, and one of them was talking to the people inside.
"Why are they all here?" Zhong Dian Shi Dao.
The little guy shook his head and didn't speak.
Cao Hongshou and Wang Yugui fell, if Lord Du was a little narrow-minded, it was estimated that these officials in the yamen would have to change their blood. Although some of the officials are deeply rooted in the local area, they are intricately intertwined, and they are not so easy to fall, but who knows who is standing behind Lord Du? It's too unwise to wrestle with such a person.
can bow his head and admit his mistakes, ease the relationship, and benefit without expense, who is not a fool.
But these words, he is a little girl, it is difficult to say clearly, otherwise it seems that he is smarter than the master.
The little guy turned his head and asked Zhong Dianshi carefully: "Master, do we want to go down?" ”
Zhong Dianshi is also very contradictory. But in the end, he gritted his teeth: "Go down." ”
The little guy asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the front of Du's house, and then got out of the car with Zhong Dianshi one after the other.
Zhong Dianshi walked to the door of the Du family, stood at the back of the crowd, and listened to the doorman of the Du family: "My young master is really not here." He was in charge of agricultural affairs, and now he will soon start spring ploughing, and he will go out of the city to inspect the farmland and water conservancy. ”
"Uncle, just tell us which direction Master Du is going. Let's go look for him, and even if we can't find him, we won't blame you. "A middle-aged man dressed in the costume of a servant.
Zhong Dianshi recognized this middle-aged man, who was the official who had been sad for Du Jinning's doorkeeper according to Cao Hongshou's instructions.
Cao Hongshou fell, Du Jinning had expected that these people would take advantage of the wind to steer the rudder, and she had instructed Old Man Zhu how to deal with these people before she went out in the morning.
Therefore, no matter how these people pressed him, Old Man Zhu shook his head and said, "The young master only said that he would go outside the city, as for where to go, I don't know." ”
Seeing that they couldn't ask where Du Jinning was, these people at the door were a little frustrated.
can't show favor to Lord Du in time, what if Lord Du feels that he is not sincere?
Looking at this flattering and frustrated face, Old Man Zhu sneered in his heart: At this time, I knew that I was panicked, why did I go earlier? I had the guts to bully the young master at the beginning, but now I don't want to please me if I have the ability.
"Okay, everyone has something to look for my young master, come back tomorrow." As he spoke, Old Man Zhu closed the door directly.
"Hey, wait, we'll put the post here and come back tomorrow to visit Master Du." Yu Huaigu very cleverly took out a post from his arms and threw it into the crack of the door that was about to close.
It was because of writing posts that he fell behind these people. Now he was very proud of his wise act. Or is he smart!
Others regretted it: why didn't they think to write a post?
Seeing the post that fell through the crack in the door, the corners of Old Man Zhu's mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
Do you think that if you send a prayer post, the young master will forgive you? Wait, the young master will settle accounts with you one by one.
At this time, Du Jinning was sitting in the courtyard of Zhuangzi, reading the information of these officials in the yamen sent by Qin Laoliu.
The group of women and children who blocked the officials of Dali Temple were naturally the handiwork of Qin Laoliu. Du Jinning knew that Cao Hongshou and Wang Yugui were sent to the capital and would never come back. With all the things they did, they could get through the prison.
And with Zhao Yu and Qi Bokun's protection of her this time, the Zhizhou sent must be a person who favors her. Then, she should also take this opportunity to clean up the Runzhou Yamen, and those officials who don't follow the right path should get out. It doesn't matter if she is narrow-minded, or if she has a small belly, don't want to have a good life if you have bullied her.
