Chapter 232 - Looking for help
Sima Liang, Fufeng and Rongyang, went to a restaurant. The three of them ordered some food and chatted for a while while eating.
After chatting about the king of Dingnan for the time being, several people also talked about some things about the central capital and the northwest.
Of course, most of them were given by Sima Liang unilaterally.
It's not that Fufeng and Rongyang don't want to know about Zhongdu. But now the purge in the capital is getting more and more serious. The two avoided burning themselves and withdrew a lot of eyeliner. Some of the ones left behind also lay dormant, waiting for follow-up instructions.
In fact, there are more than two people, as long as the forces are farther away from the central capital, they don't know much about the situation in the central capital. After all, no one who has a little brain at the moment will bother the second prince.
After exchanging information, Fu Feng and Rong Yang said that they would go back and discuss it with their subordinates. Sima Liang could understand, so after eating, the three of them said goodbye.
Sima Liang sat in the carriage and embarked on the way back.
After solving some worries, Sima Liang was in a much better mood. He pulled back the window and looked out.
Sima Liang noticed that there were many more plainly dressed people on the street, but their eyes were firm. This kind of person is particularly obvious among the general public.
"These people are ordinary readers. Eighty percent of them came to me. Maybe these people are also some help. ”
Thinking of what happened next, Sima Liang wanted to contact these people. Although these people are small and weak, the base is relatively large, and many people have no foundation, and the situation of available people will be relatively large. The most important thing to use is to rest assured.
However, it is not possible to contact these people directly.
Sima Liang has not expressed his attitude now, and now he has undoubtedly determined his position by contacting these people, which will push some wavering people to his opposite. This is not good for the future.
"Who's going to be looking for?"
Sima Liang thought for a while, and he could be the person he could contact on his behalf. Then he thought of a possible person.
"Master Xu, maybe it can come in handy."
As the Yancheng County Ya, the oldest person. Master Xu came from a humble background, and he helped students all the year round, and many of the children of the common people in Yancheng studied with him.
With such a good reputation, it is easy for outsiders to get closer. Master Xu's official position is neither high nor low, which can also facilitate Sima Liang's work.
"Coachman, go directly to the county office."
"Yes."
The carriage entered from the south of the city and went around to the gate of the Chengdong County Yamen.
With the allocation of funds from the royal government, the appearance of the county government has improved a lot. It can be regarded as having the style of the yamen. However, the county government is still unattended.
Sima Liang swaggered into it.
Seeing that there was still no one among them, Sima Liang was a little strange. According to the previous situation, there was no one outside, and there would always be people inside. But now there is no one.
"Anyone?"
……
Sima Liang shouted from the front yard to the backyard. Finally, in the side courtyard, a young official was found.
"What about people? What about Master Xu and Qin County? ”
"Master Xu, I'm sick. Qin County ordered to take care of it in the past. The rest of the servants were taken to Yanming Beach by Lord Xu Wangshan to prepare for the docking of the dock. ”
Sick? It's normal. After all, Master Xu is also old.
But why did Qin County order to take care of him. Can't you go with someone else? Even if it's okay, it can't be so unreliable.
Sima Liang thought in his heart for a moment, and then looked at Mu Ne's servant.
"Okay, I see. You don't want to stay here either. You're the only one in this yamen, so go to the front door and guard it. Don't hide here, if something happens, you won't even be able to see anyone. This makes the people look at the court. ”
"It doesn't matter. There are so many things that can be solved by the county government. will come to the county government to find someone to help, and I will find someone. Instead of standing in front and wasting time, it is better to take the time to clean up the county office. The official replied.
Hearing such pragmatic words, Sima Liang looked at the servant, and then looked at what the other party was doing.
"Okay, then you can go ahead. I'll go first. ”
"Good. By the way, what are you doing in the county office? Need to relay information? Only then did the official remember that he didn't ask Sima Liang anything.
Faced with this kind of crying and laughing situation, Sima Liang shook his head, "It's okay, you don't need to convey it." ”
"Okay, goodbye." The officials greeted in large numbers.
"Goodbye." Sima Liang smiled, then turned to leave.
As soon as he walked to the door, Sima Liang suddenly remembered that he didn't ask Master Xu's location.
"Really, I still laugh at people who don't have a long heart. Aren't you a little lacking? Let's ask again. Sima Liang turned around again, ready to ask the officer.
"Is there anything you have to do with who came to the yamen?" Qin County's voice came from behind him.
Don't be ashamed, it's also trouble-free. Sima Liang smiled in his heart.
"Qin County Order, you are really busy. I just wanted to ask where Master Xu lives, and then go to you. Sima Liang turned around as he spoke.
Hearing this voice, I saw Sima Liang's face again. Qin Xian Ling paused. But he reacted quickly.
"Lord Wang, why are you here? Also, why are you wearing this? "Qin County ordered a salute greeting.
Sima Liang walked up to Qin Xian Ling and looked at it.
"It seems that it's been a good time lately, and the official uniforms have been renewed."
"This, it's the New Year, so it's ......" Qin County's order was a little embarrassed.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. If there are conditions, it is natural to be decent. After all, you are the face of the county government. ”
Sima Liang understood Qin County's order and satisfied his selfish behavior. He deliberately allocated more money to the county government, which meant this. After all, living well is everyone's pursuit.
Hearing that Sima Liang did not pursue it, Qin Xianling breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Lord Xie, understand. Then the prince, why did you come this time? ”
Thinking of Master Xu's illness, Sima Liang couldn't tell the purpose of this trip. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin County's order.
"Qin County Order, where is your ancestral home and what kind of background is it?"
For this Qin County Order, Sima Liang actually didn't know anything about it at all.
First, the other party's identity is a bit chicken, neither high nor low. Second, most of the people who can be sent here are good people, so Sima Liang didn't verify it.
Most of the things handed over to the county government are not very important things for Sima Liang, as long as the foundation is not too bad.
"Lord Wang, why do you ask that?" Qin Xianling was a little confused.
"If you say it, you can say it, don't ask so much."
"Okay. In the next, the parents are from Yanbei. Further up, it's Yancheng's. Actually, it's similar to Lord Liu. ”
Hearing this answer, Sima Liang was a little disappointed. However, he just asked casually, and didn't have much hope.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it. By the way, do you still have contact with Yanbei? It seems like there's something unusual about it lately. Sima Liang changed the subject.
