Chapter 4: Unhappy Breakups
Although the group looked a little embarrassed, but after all, it was a genuine emperor, there was a second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there was a waiter who did not dare to underestimate the household secretary, so the prefect of Hangzhou still put on a very grand posture, and brought officials of all sizes to the ferry to greet him, well, although Chu Nan is also the deputy chief, most of them are still regarded as a soy sauce.
Jiang Yue, the prefect of Hangzhou, asked Liang to get into the most luxurious carriage, arched his hand to the rest of the people, and led the way in front of him very chicly.
Chu Nan dragged Tang Chop, who was still swaying, and leaned over to get into Wang Defu's carriage. Pressing Tang Chop on the side of the coachman, Chu Nan got into the car and was just about to talk to Wang Defu when he heard Tang Chop shouting.
Tang Shu sat on the car and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, young master, this carriage is also shaking, and it feels similar to that on the boat." It's good that my head is no longer dizzy and my eyes are not dazzled. β
Chu Nan gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, then you will live in the carriage in the future." β
............................................................................................................
Due to the large number of officials who came to investigate the case, Hangzhou simply requisitioned the mansion of a maritime merchant to settle it, as for how to compensate the maritime merchant is a matter of later story, anyway, looking at Liang Rang's non-stop nodding and knowing that he was very satisfied, Hangzhou Governor Jiang Yue secretly decided to go back and reward the subordinates who came up with this idea.
Liang Rang sat down on the Taishi chair, looked at the spacious and bright hall, and asked, "Lord Jiang, we are here to investigate the case by the emperor's order, and we should be the ones who lead the hotel, will it be ............ to live in a private house now?"
Jiang Yue said with a smile: "Lord Liang is too worried, it just so happens that the master of this house is out, and it is empty and empty, you are in a hurry that I arranged it like this." If anyone has an opinion, let them go to me. β
This is very fake, Liang Rang is the imperial history of the right capital, is there really a person who is not long-sighted to offend the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of this trivial matter?
Liang Rang is just talking about the scene, if he really wants to give up this comfortable place to go to a simple hotel, isn't that looking for guilt? Liang Rang accepted this argument and nodded: "In this way, it is not a disturbance to the people, and I also ask Lord Jiang to thank this master for me." β
Jiang Yue said with a smile: "What Lord Liang said is that this official will compensate this master. β
Seeing that everyone including Liang Rang was tired, Jiang Yue said goodbye and left very interestingly, and did not forget to ask his subordinates to take care of everyone carefully.
Everyone was also very tired, and they were each taken to the residence by their subordinates, Chu Nan picked a west-facing guest room with his status, looking at the strange look of the little guy, Chu Nan rolled his eyes, do you want to say that Lord Ben has always lived in the east house at home?
Tang Shu finally learned how to walk on land, and looked at the spacious and bright guest room behind him with reluctance, he really didn't know what Chu Nan thought, so he had to choose such a guest room leaning against the east corner.
Chu Nan snatched the salute from Tang Chop's hand, and said angrily: "Young master, I live comfortably by myself, you go to the back and pick a guest room, I don't need your protection here." β
Tang Shu pretended to excuse himself a few times, and saw that Chu Nan was about to hit him, and hurriedly ran to a guest room that he had already met, and couldn't help but be even more happy when he saw the huge bed.
Regardless of whether the fatigue along the way can be endured, the necessary rest is still necessary, after all, if you really want to investigate the case, just those files and account books are enough to consume energy.
When Chu Nan finished washing up indiscriminately, and just lay on the bed for a while, there was a snoring sound from the guest room not far away, vaguely or a dreamy sound, Chu Nan looked at the starry sky through the window, as if he was observing the difference between the starry sky in the south and the north.
Early the next morning, Chu Nan got up and walked around the house where everyone lived, and found that this house was really unexpectedly big, and what everyone lived in was only the first half of the house, and there was still a big place in the back.
Wang Defu rested for a night, his face was much better, and when he saw Chu Nan walking back leisurely, he said with a smile: "It's good to be young, no matter how tired you are, you can sleep with your head covered, and you will still be alive when you wake up, but unlike me, you really don't accept old age." β
Chu Nan also made a few fuss about it, causing Wang Defu to laugh and scold a few words.
There are a large number of people who come to investigate the case, so naturally they can't get together to eat, or take it back to the house to eat by themselves, or three or five people get together to eat and chat. Chu Nan waved his hand and sent Tang Shu to Li Yong, ordered the food to be brought to his room, took out a bottle of wine like a trick, and smiled proudly at Wang Defu.
Wang Defu's eyes lit up, and he happily got together with Chu Nan, drank in small sips, and didn't want to drink again after only three cups.
Chu Nan was about to pour, Wang Defu picked up the wine glass and shook his head and said: "The old man has a very poor amount of alcohol, and he will faint after drinking." I can't read even the words clearly, how can I check the accounts?"
Chu Nan was happy to drink it himself when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You still don't forget to investigate the case." β
Wang Defu said casually: "Didn't you kid go out for a walk early in the morning?
Chu Nan shook his head and said: "I just looked in the courtyard, and I didn't go out, what can I find?" But I can see that the owner of this house is by no means an ordinary rich businessman, looking at this posture, the palace in the capital may not be as magnificent as here." β
Wang Defu was noncommittal, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly, you and I will go to see Lord Liang together after eating." Since I came to investigate the case, I had to plan and make a charter. β
Liang Rang took off his official uniform, just wearing casual clothes, but he also looked personable.
When the two saw Wang Defu and the two coming together, they stopped the two of them from planning to salute, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, so don't want those courtesies in the officialdom." β
After a polite remark, Wang Defu muttered: "Lord Liang, since you and I have been ordered by the emperor to come here, the lower officials think it is better to start handling the case quickly." β
Liang Rang frowned and said, "It's not going well along the way, we also have to be sympathetic to the hard work of the people below and let them take a good rest." Seeing that Chu Nan was about to speak, he smiled again: "But Lord Wang said it, you might as well tell me what you think." β
Wang Defu said: "What Lord Liang said is reasonable, and the lower officials are not unkind. I think the most important thing at the moment is to familiarize yourself with the facts of the case and let the people who came to investigate the case last time sort out the facts of the case. The lower officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate read the files, and they were all official clichΓ©s, but they could not be read. β
Liang Rang's face became even more ugly after hearing this, but Wang Defu's face was calm, and his background was deep, so he could only smile and say: "This matter will be done according to what Lord Wang said, sort out the clues as soon as possible, and then start." β
Wang Defu shook his head and said: "That would be too time-consuming, and it won't take many people to sort out the case." Among the rest of the people, the household department rechecked the sealed account books, and the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate went to find the original witnesses and criminals again, and they must be controlled in their hands. β
Chu Nan also interjected at this time: "It's better to leave the matter of finding the culprit and witnesses to the lower officials." β
Liang Rang pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, let Deputy Commander Li Yong take the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to handle the matter of finding the culprit and witnesses, and Commander Chu should discuss the case with Wang Shilang, after all, you have not been in contact before." β
Chu Nan was helpless, but what Liang Rang said was not wrong, so he could only nod and say yes.
Liang Rang remembered something again, and said: "There is no need to rush things, take another day off today, and say that you are doing it tomorrow." With that, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.
Wang Defu and Chu Nan glanced at each other, and then said goodbye and left, and the first exchange between the three of them was quite unhappy.
When he went out, Wang Defu smiled and said, "Lord Liang is beating me in the end, let us know that he is the only chief official, and we can't cooperate to suppress him." β
Chu Nan smiled and said indifferently: "It's just to show your attitude, it's nothing to really delay this day." β
At this time, the housekeeper who Jiang Yue had specially left behind called Chu Nan and said, "Lord Chu, someone outside the door asked to see him, saying that he was your old friend. β
Wang Defu said with a smile: "Could it be that the merry debt caused by the commander of Chu is here, and now people are looking for it." β
Chu Nan ignored Wang Tofu's ridicule and motioned for the housekeeper to lead the way in front.
When I walked to the door, I saw a slightly fat figure, wearing an official uniform embroidered with rhinoceros.
Chu Nan looked at the person, recognized that the person was Zhao Yuan, a friend who had lost a lot of weight, stepped forward and gave him a punch, and said with a smile: "Zhao Fatty, why aren't you fat?"
Zhao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also learned from Chu Nan's appearance, and scolded with a smile: "Chu Nan, it looks like you are still a virgin!"
