Chapter 12: The hearts of the people are turned upside down like waves

But said that after Zhu Biao and the three left, Master Qian looked at the distracted Lu County Order, and stepped forward and said: "Why do you have to go toe-to-toe with Zhu Sangongzi, although the master has Yang Shaobao as a backer, but this is not in Tokyo after all, that Dulonggang Zhujiazhuang has been entrenched in this Shandong boundary for more than ten years, whether it is the people or the government, there is an intricate relationship, this mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what the prince does today, but it is not equivalent to tying his hands." ”

When Lu Xianling heard this, he also sighed and said, "I don't know that this Zhu Biao is so strong, but what should I do now?" ”

Master Qian pondered for a long time, thought about it in his heart, and responded: "Now that Wu Song must be released, and 20,000 yuan of Master Qian must also be collected." ”

"That Zhu Biao is clearly about to tear his face, but I still have to make this deal with him, but I don't offend my godfather and him. Both ends are not pleased. Lu Xianling frowned.

Master Qian smiled meaningfully and said straightly: "Master, if you shouldn't ask a humble question, do you think what Fang Cai Zhu said is reasonable?" ”

After hearing this, Lu Xian Ling sighed and nodded helplessly.

Seeing this, Master Qian was overjoyed, and his name was there, and he said: "Since the master knows it in his heart, he should make plans as soon as possible, and he heard that the third prince will get married after the year, and the master only needs to take out the 20,000 guan he received today, and then paste a 10,000 yuan, and then have a relationship with the third prince of Zhu, but it is not in Tokyo that Yang Shaobao is sheltered, and he has to help Zhujiazhuang in the local area, what can not be done." ”

When Lu Xianling heard this, he only felt that his heart suddenly brightened, and he laughed loudly: "Master Qian, it is not in vain that this county has always regarded you as a confidant, today this county has you to watch on demand, and I remember you in my heart, but you are stingy with only one point, and when the son is married, the county will return more than 20,000 yuan, and the county will send him another 50,000 yuan." ”

"The grandfather has a long-term vision, but this is the best."

Master Qian flattered directly, but he didn't think so, today's Lu County Order is afraid that it has been blacklisted in the heart of Zhu Sangongzi, if it is posted 10,000 yuan, it may be regarded as selling good and soft, 50,000 yuan, but it is counterproductive, making people feel that they have other plans.

Lu Xian Ling pondered for a moment, but no matter what Master Qian was thinking in his heart, he said with a gloomy face: "Only these 50,000 yuan can't come from this county, and the squires and wealthy families and ordinary people in Qinghe County all need to do their part for this county." ”

......

After Master Qian discussed the matter with Lu Xianling, he left in a hurry and headed for the county jail.

A servant who was originally guarding outside the meeting room, saw Master Qian leaving, and quietly followed, watching Master Qian enter the county jail, the official quietly left the county government and headed towards West Street.

On the West Street of Qinghe County, there is a luxury mansion with seven entrances on all sides, covering an area of dozens of acres, surrounded by powder walls outside the courtyard, the green willows hang around, the eaves in the house are pecked high, the third floor is a courtyard, the road between the courtyard and the courtyard is linked, the mountains and stones are embellished, and there is also the garden backdrop.

The whole house is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and the garden is splendid, which is luxurious.

There are two huge stone lions standing at the entrance of the house, and a plaque hangs on the tall gatehouse, which reads - Ximen Mansion.

The official entered the Ximen Mansion, and came out again after tea, covering his chest with his hands, with a happy face.

In a pavilion in the house, Ximenqing grabbed a large handful of fish food and scattered it into the pond under the pavilion, only to see countless koi swarming to compete for food. Seeing this, Ximen Qing picked up the stick next to him and smashed it into the water, and the fish scattered in a swren, and after a while, only a few poor fish remained, turning their white bellies, and floating miserably on the water.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper on the side trembled slightly, and when he saw Ximenqing throwing a stick, he hurriedly took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms and handed it over.

"Big official, the eyeliner of the Yamen came to report, saying that Zhu Biao had already been to the county office, and he didn't hear what he said, but he only knew that in the middle of the conversation, the county commander of Nalu was furious, and not long after leaving, Master Qian went to the county government prison." The butler bowed and said.

Ximen Qing snorted coldly when he heard this, and said: "Then Zhu Biao has been raising hope in the Shandong territory for so many years, even if I have Cai Xiang's relationship now, I have to deal with it carefully, so how can Lu Zhiyuan take the important people under him." ”

"Yes, the county order of Nalu is not a foreign county order, where do you know the depth of this pool of water in Shandong." The butler catered to it and said.

"There is something to report to the big officials, the person who was accepted by Zhujiazhuang a month ago has been determined to be Lin Chong, the former head of the forbidden army."

Ximen Qing shook his head after hearing this, and said: "Lin Chong's matter is a trivial matter, even if Gao Yanei wants to do something, Gao Yu will not agree, after all, it is not a very glorious thing, these dignitaries and nobles regard the face as more important than anything else." If you really want something, with the ability of the third son of the Zhu family, you can easily deal with the past. ”

"This kind of character, either do nothing, if you want to do it, you must hit it with one blow, otherwise you can't hurt the tiger, but will be eaten by the tiger; What did you check about, how did you check it? ”

The housekeeper's face was shocked, and he only said carefully: "But I found something, Zhu Biao recommended Zhu Tong, the capital of Yuncheng County, to Zhang Shuye two years ago, and a few days ago he was promoted by Zhang Shuye to the imperial court as the training envoy of the Jeju regiment, and his subordinates learned that the newly recruited Xiang army under his command were all displaced people who had received the favor of Zhujiazhuang in Shandong; There is also Nayanggu County, and now the county's officials have far exceeded the imperial court establishment, and the number of helpers has also increased several times. ”

When Ximen Qing heard this, he was silent for a long time, and said faintly: "These things you talked about are not of substantive use, and they have nothing to do with Zhu Jiazhuang and Zhu Biao on the surface. So, you have to dig a little deeper and make it relevant. ”

The butler nodded in agreement and bowed out of the gazebo.

At this time, on the side of the corridor connected to the pavilion, a slightly chubby maid carried a tray with a porcelain cup on it, and passed by the housekeeper step by step, walking towards the pavilion.

After walking into the pavilion, he said cautiously: "Great official, this is the pear porridge that the third lady boiled for you, please drink it while it's hot." ”

Ximenqing raised his eyes and glanced at this maid, but she was the most inconspicuous one in the entire house, and she had the intention of expelling her from the house, but she was the favorite girl of the third lady who returned to the house, and waved her hand: "Put it down, go back and serve the third lady carefully." ”

"Whoa."

The little fat maid bowed in response, turned around and walked away quickly, only passing through the long corridor, and when she reached the courtyard of the third lady, she did not go in, but went around and went to the back door of the house.

......

The back door of Ximen Mansion is a lively street, and the street is full of people and shouts from all walks of life.

A young man with a delicate face, carrying a large basket of pears, shouted along the street: "Sell pears, sell pears, sweet and crisp snowflake pears." ”

The little fat girl went out the back door and shouted to the pear seller not far away, "Pear seller, buy pears." ”
