In Kyoto in February, the endless rain curtain curtain under the eaves has begun again. It rained heavily yesterday, and it rained heavily today, which annoyed people for nothing.

Ning Shuo held an umbrella and went to the official department. Now he is following Buyuchuan to investigate the case, and officials of all sizes recognize him, and when they see him coming to the office, a junior official said with a smile: "Third Young Master Ning, but what does the old man of Buyuchuan have to order?" ”

Ning Shuo: "Yes, the boss ordered me to get some lists of tributes and lifters over the years. ”

The petty official was worried, "What do you want to do with this?" How many more years? ”

Ning Shuo: "Nearly twenty years. ”

He didn't reply to the previous sentence, and the junior official didn't ask, but he probably knew what it would be used for, so he took him to find the main book, "It will take nearly twenty years, and this will have to be approved by the master book, and this is not enough, it must be approved by Lord Shangshu, but Lord Shangshu is meeting guests, and I can only lead you to see the master book." ”

There was no way for him to meet Master Shangshu, but the master book could.

Ning Shuo: "I'm tired." ”

Petty official: "What should be done, don't dare to talk about fatigue." ”

But the main secretary was not there, and said that he went to the Ministry of Rites to coordinate the transfer of his subordinates. The petty official was a little nervous, he was born in a poor family and rose all the way up, he had only been an official for four or five years, and he had not learned all the things in the officialdom, and he was not very tactful, so he didn't know what to do at this time.

Do you want Third Young Master Ning to wait here, or do you just take someone to find Master Shangshu?

He turned his head to find someone to come up with, but everyone was busy, and he was introverted, and for a while he hesitated to find someone to help him.

Ning Shuo saw his embarrassment, and said, "Since Wu Shangshu is busy, I'll wait here." ”

The junior official wiped his sweat, "Okay, okay, then please wait for Third Young Master Ning." ”

He took Ning Shuo to sit in the courtroom of the guests, and ran away by himself.

There are already several people in it, all of whom were selected from the local government and transferred to Kyoto this year.

Ning Shuo didn't know him, so he just smiled and said hello, and then took a sip of a cup of tea. A few people inside saw that he was handsome and very noble, so they didn't dare to offend. One of them stared at him a few times, but he didn't retract his gaze in time, and was glanced at by Ning Shuo with tea, and blushed embarrassedly.

This person's name is Fu Suibo, and he is from Wanzhou, south of the Yangtze River. He is a tribute of Jingtai for 18 years, and he has been serving abroad for many years, and he was transferred to Kyoto this year, which is considered a fast promotion. Therefore, there is a reason why the officials are busy these days, and after the New Year, the officials take office, which is their business.

Fu Suibo was born in a small family, and there was no big help behind him, so he sat in this hall, and most of the people who could sit here were sitting on cold benches, otherwise he would have to accompany him. He was very curious, the person in front of him was obviously extravagant, why did he come here.

Fu Suibo knows a lot of people, but the young man in front of him doesn't look big, but there is smoke and clouds in his eyes, which makes people can't see it really, if it can go smoothly in the future, he should also have a future. He had a good friend, and he was looked at at it, and said, "Brother Xian is also here to be transferred?" ”

Ning Shuo shook his head, "No." ”

"I was just sent by my family to get some papers."

Without waiting for the other side to react, he asked, "The accent of the adult doesn't look like a Kyoto person?" ”

Fu Suibo nodded, "I am from Wanzhou, and after being admitted to the meritorious service, I went back to Wanzhou to be an official." ”

Ning Shuo: "Wanzhou people are brilliant, and the future of adults is immeasurable. ”

Fu Suibo was about to compliment the other side a few words, when he heard the sound of footsteps, and the master of the bookkeeper they were waiting for finally came back from the Ministry of Rites belatedly.

Fu Suibo stood up, and just as he was about to salute, he saw the master book bowing to Ning Shuo, "Third Young Master Ning, I've been waiting for a long time, this nerd doesn't know how to go directly to get things for you, but asks you to wait." ”

The petty official's face turned red and apologized vigorously, "It's that the lower official is ignorant." ”

Ning Shuo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not an official now, I'm just an errand runner." ”

"Besides, the government has the rules of the government department, and they are all right."

The junior officer was grateful, "I'll lead you there." ”

Now, even Lord Shangshu doesn't need to ask for instructions.

Ning Shuo smiled and responded, like a spring breeze, and said goodbye to a few people in the court, and then walked out with the chief bookkeeper and the junior official.

Fu Suibo waited for him to go out and said in surprise: "Who is this person?" ”

One of them thought for a moment and said, "In the whole of Kyoto, how many people with the surname Ning are as imposing as him?" ”

Fu Suibo was not a fool, and immediately came back to his senses, "It's the third young master of the Ningguo Mansion." Then he just said that he was coming to get things for his own adults - isn't it Lord Buyuchuan? ”

The man nodded and said, "We all know about the cases that Lord Buyuchuan has been handling recently...... He came here to pick up something, and what could he take? ”

……

"I wonder what the boss wants these lists for?"

The master took the directory, but did not take it for him, and said, "If you look at it here, you can do it, but if you want to take it away, I am afraid that you can only copy it." ”

In the past 20 years, there have only been seven imperial examinations, but there are so many people that they can be copied to the fullest. And now the people in the ministry are busy, where can anyone come and transcribe.

Ning Shuo: "I'll just come by myself." When I finished reading it, I took back the name that my husband wanted. ”

The master then asked, "What does the lord want?" ”

Ning Shuo smiled, raised his eyes and glanced at him, the clouds under his eyes were thick, and he didn't reply a word.

After he left, the chief bookkeeper thought about it again and again, and still asked someone to bring the news to King Jin.

"Tell the prince of Jin that the old man of Buyuchuan is checking the list of tributes in the past twenty years."

On the other side, Ning Shuo went to the Buyu Mansion again. The steward said: "Third Young Master Ning, the boss is much better, and he told us to go and see him as soon as you come." ”

Ning Shuo bowed his head, quickened his steps over, Yu Xingzhi was also in front of the bed, and when he saw him coming, he gave up his position.

Buyuchuan coughed, "Where did you go this morning?" ”

Ning Shuo: "Officials." I asked them for a roster of tributes that they had been on for nearly twenty years. ”

Yu Xingzhi frowned, "What do you want this for?" ”

Ning Shuo: "The family is poor, the court is in the court, and the courtiers are the courtiers - no matter what they fight for, it is nothing more than the same party fighting against each other." Sui Boying was born in Muzhou, Jiangnan, studied at Yuzhou Academy, and had a very good relationship with the officials in the Jiangnan area in the court before his death, but after his death, I checked carefully, but I didn't say anything for him. ”

"I thought it was because the people didn't dare to speak, or maybe because the prince didn't speak, and they didn't want to betray it—but the more I investigated, the more I found that the truth was far from like this."

"I just want to go and see the tributes in this place in Jiangnan, who are now officials and how the official road is."

Buyuchuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, okay, then you can check." ”

Ning Shuo looked at him and said sullenly: "I went back yesterday and thought about it carefully for a long time, I'm afraid this case is not the dispute between the King of Jin and the crown prince, nor the death and testimony of that lady, it should be because of what Sui Boying chose." The student wanted to see what he had chosen. ”

I don't even want my life.

Even him...... Don't want it either.

Buyuchuan closed his eyes, "You actually thought of this step." ”

He laughed, "Sui Boying should not have died yet, there will be an afterlife who wants to explore his heart." ”

He paused, and then asked curiously: "Ah Shuo, what I want is the truth, but what you want seems to be to understand the person Sui Boying-"

"I really don't understand why."

I have a skin disease and I have to go to the hospital today and tomorrow.

Owed four more. Tomorrow's update will be around nine o'clock in the evening.
