Chapter 148: Female Governor

Ye Chengwei's simple words made Wu Yue, who had never been silent, remember some things:

"Brother Cheng Wei said of the Qian family, His Royal Highness still remembers that more than ten years ago, when I accompanied you and several princes to visit the garden in Jinling City, a woman suddenly bumped into the garden, and she was born extraordinarily gorgeous, His Royal Highness King Yun was very unhappy at that time, and said that it was a distant relative in King Yun's mansion, and then my father asked me to investigate the woman's whereabouts, but it didn't take long for him to disappear, but I can be sure that King Yun's feelings for this woman are not simple."

"Ah Yue, I still have some memories of what you said about this."

Zhu Zhiye finally had an epiphany, and silently looked at Rujin: "In this way, the cousin of Rujin who we saw at the inn earlier may really be the illegitimate son of my imperial brother." ”

At this point, his face gradually became ugly: "And those assassins are not for Ah Yue, but for this king. ”

"Your Highness is really smart."

Ye Chengwei finally showed a smile of relief.

After all this talking, he finally understood.

"But this king has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the second emperor brother, and even he and Brother Fu Wang have colluded with the party in the court over the years, and I have turned a deaf ear, why would he do this to me?"

King Ning couldn't believe that he would become a thorn in their eyes.

Hua Rujin didn't know how to comfort him at this time, the so-called authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and King Ning was in the royal family and didn't know that the people were sinister, but he knew it very well.

It is said that the royal family is ruthless, for the sake of power, how can a competitor like King Yun, who is caught in the whirlpool of power struggle, care about any brotherhood.

Not to mention being half-siblings.

"Now that Ye Gongzi has a feasible clue, you might as well follow his arrangement in this matter, right?"

She turned her gaze to Wu Yue and gestured.

Wu Yue and King Ning looked at each other, then looked at Ye Chengwei, and pleaded sincerely: "Then there is Brother Lao Chengwei, I hope to arrest the murderer as soon as possible." ”

"Definitely."

Ye Chengwei naturally wanted to arrest the murderer earlier, after all, Tang Haoran was also an official of the imperial court, and he died unexplained and could not be explained.

After waiting for the Wu brothers and sisters to accompany King Ning to leave first, Hua Rujin and Ye Chengwei also left the scene of the murder.

Walking on the forest path, the two were silent for a long time, and Ye Chengwei suddenly turned sideways and said solemnly: "I am not in these days, there is Miss Lao Hua to recuperate for my mother." ”

"It's just a gesture, Ye Gongzi doesn't have to be polite."

Hua Rujin also glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "I heard that Ye Gongzi has been transferred to the provincial government, so he must be leaving Jiangling City in a few days, right?" ”

"That's the thing."

Ye Chengwei paused and nodded hesitantly.

Thinking that she is now doing things for Wu Yue, I feel a little lost.

"I thought that Miss Hua would go to the Patrol Mansion to work for the Patrol Lord, but I never thought that she would be the staff of the new magistrate, and she is really able to appreciate Bole."

Listening to his tone, Hua Rujin always felt a little yin and yang.

"Lord Ye praised it falsely, but it was just to beg for food for a living."

Hua Rujin also looked at him fixedly, and her eyes sank: "But Ye Gongzi is now promoted to the provincial capital, and there is no shortage of capable people around him to help, and the little woman is afraid that it will be difficult to work with Ye Gongzi again." ”

"That's hard to say."

Ye Chengwei suddenly squeezed out a wicked smile: "If I forcibly ask for someone from Wuzhi County, do you think he will disobey the provincial government?" ”

"You dare."

Hua Rujin felt that he was a little arrogant now.

"I can point a sword at the people in the Inspectorate, and there is nothing I dare not do."

Ye Chengwei had long heard that she had been a little close to King Ning recently, and for some reason she always felt a little sour in her heart: "The person I want, I'm afraid Your Majesty can't stop it." ”

After that, he took out an official document directly from his bosom and handed it to her: "This is Your Majesty's handwritten message, from today on, you will be the female governor of the Provincial Government Inspectorate Department, and you will be in charge of investigating the criminal name." ”

"What?"

Hua Rujin stared at the official document in his hand stunned, and showed a stunned expression: "According to the governor of the Inspectorate Division, that is an official of the imperial court, and His Majesty will give it when he says it?" ”

"Why, you don't dare to take on this heavy responsibility?"

Ye Chengwei finally asked for this grace, and was very dissatisfied with her reaction.

"Not really."

Hua Rujin pursed her lips stupidly: "If you become a female governor, can you still take private work in the future?" ”

Although she is a female official, she is not the material for officialdom after all, and if she wants to earn money in the future, she will not be so frank and unrestrained.

"No, you can't."

Ye Chengwei replied decisively.

also knew that this kind of little official was meager, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to meet her wishes, so she hurriedly added: "I heard that Wu Zhixian asked you to be a staff member and gave you five hundred and two years, and it is indeed difficult for the governor to pay one hundred taels a year, so let's give you some more, how about adding a zero?" ”

"Five thousand taels?"

Hua Rujin was shocked when she heard it.

Although he is now a member of the third rank of the imperial court, his annual salary is only a few hundred taels, and he actually paid out of his own pocket to let himself be his staff, which sounds really child's play.

"Ye Gongzi, don't make fun of me."

Hua Rujin said with some uncertainty.

Ye Chengwei was unequivocal, and immediately asked Ting An to take out the five thousand taels of silver tickets he had prepared and handed them to her, and said in a deep voice: "After Tang Haoran's case is closed, you will go to the provincial capital with me." ”

Hua Rujin stared at the thick pile of silver tickets in her hand, and couldn't believe her eyes.

was also worried that he had taken out all the Ye family's family resources to convince herself, so she persuaded her with great anxiety: "Actually, Ye Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, since it is His Majesty's order, I will go to the provincial capital." ”

Horizontally and vertically, her arms can't reach her thighs, and now that the wood has sunk, she can't resist the will.

"Naturally, I can't wronged Miss Hua."

Ye Chengwei smiled warmly at her: "You don't have to worry about the silver, you just need to do your best." ”

Ting An also added with a smile on the side: "The most important thing my son-in-law lacks is silver, and this time His Majesty also rewarded his son with a hundred taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver, besides."

"Mouthy."

The little scholar was not allowed to finish speaking, and Ye Chengwei glared at him coldly.

stopped the talkative little scholar, turned his eyes to look at Hua Rujin warmly, and said with a smile: "This matter is so decided, as for Uncle Ling's affairs, you don't need to worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation before leaving." ”

"Thank you."

Hua Rujin said goodbye to him, got into his carriage, and thought about the five thousand taels of silver tickets that Zhuang Yuanlang gave him, but he was always puzzled.

According to his temperament, since he opened his mouth, he had to come up with five thousand taels of silver every year, even the emperor's reward was not enough to support this expenditure all the time, where could this guy scavenge so much silver?

She really couldn't figure it out.
