Chapter 46: Entering the House

There is no lord in Cloudsdale, and the supreme governor of the city is concurrently held by the governor of the city. The state mansion is located in the very center of Cloudsdale, covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres, and is the largest building complex in Cloudsdale. The vast governor's mansion is divided into two, the first half is the government of various offices, and the second half is the private residence of the governor. This structure exists in most of the Great Xuan Castle Pools, but the size is different.

Zhang Qing, Bai Huiye, Lu Mingyue and Xie Wuyan, who got off the boat, directly took a carriage that had already been waiting at the dock and came to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion. They did not enter the palace through the front door, but went around to the back, and entered the governor's private residence at the back door of an alley that was blocked at both ends, which also showed that the lord wanted to know something from his henchmen before the patrol team and the sailor were officially reinstated.

After the carriage entered the mansion, it stopped in a large courtyard, and the four of them got out of the carriage, and a middle-aged butler was already standing and waiting. He walked over and saluted a few people, and then said respectfully: "A few adults, welcome back, the state lord is already waiting in the study, please come with me." Then he turned and led the way, and the four followed.

Zhang Qing looked at the surrounding scenery curiously, even the outermost courtyard where the carriage was parked, it was built exquisitely and beautifully. On the way to the house under the leadership of the housekeeper, you can see small buildings with carved beams and paintings, beautiful gardens, and even small lakes with scattered rockery islands, and there are many plants here that Zhang Qing has not seen in Yunzhou, and it is estimated that they were transported from other places.

Zhang Shanyi also followed Zhang Ling to the Huinan City Lord's Mansion, and also entered the mansions of many large families in Huinan. The style there is very much in line with the level of Yunzhou, wanting to express wealth but no background, revealing a kind of impetuousness that is strong and inward, and I can't wait to show all the glitz outside. However, this place is different, it can be seen that it is a well-designed courtyard, and it does not look like a serious state mansion, but rather an elegant manor in Jiangnan.

Bai Huiye saw Zhang Qing looking around, so he whispered to him: "The previous state lord was also from Jiangnan, so after coming to Yunzhou, he spent a lot of time and money to build himself a state lord mansion in this Jiangnan style, and many plants here were transported from Jiangnan. But I didn't expect to be transferred out just five years after repairing, and it also helped us Jiangnan people adapt to the climate of Yunzhou faster. ”

Zhang Qing nodded, compared with the splendid nouveau riche temperament of the Huinan City Lord's Mansion, this beautiful and elegant, costing dozens of times more but not vulgar is still very much to his taste.

The four of them followed the butler to a courtyard outside the courtyard, and the butler motioned for them to wait at the courtyard gate first, and then entered it themselves. After a while, he came out again and said to Bai Huiye, "Lord Bai, the state lord asked you to report first. ”

Then he handed over the two posts he was holding in his hand, and said to Lu Mingyue and Xie Wuyan: "Lord Lu, Lord Xie, this is an order for you, the state lord ordered you to go to the Qianfu to find Wang Tongzhi first." The two glanced at each other, and at the same time arched their hands, turned and walked to the front house. This is the study room where the lord of the mansion works all year round, so it is close to the former mansion.

"What about Gongzi Zhang?" Bai Huiye asked with a frown.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Gongzi Zhang will go with me to the side hall to rest for a while, and the state lord should summon him after listening to your report." ”

Bai Huiye nodded, turned his head to Zhang Qing and said, "Brother Zhang, then Brother Wei went in first, you have a good rest and prepare for it, and the state lord will see you after I finish my report." ”

After speaking, he walked directly into the courtyard, while the housekeeper motioned to Zhang Qing to walk to the side. He followed the butler around two corners and came to a small side hall, which should be the waiting area where the state lord summoned his subordinates, and the butler motioned to his subordinates to bring Zhang Qing some tea and snacks, and said that Zhang Qing could directly order his subordinates for anything, so he silently retreated. At this time, Zhang Qing was the only one in the side hall, and he was bored so he had to look around at the decoration of the room while drinking tea.

The words were divided into two ends, Bai Huiye entered the small courtyard, went straight to the door, nodded to the guard standing at the door, and then directly pushed the door into the room.

At this time, the state lord Liu Liang was looking at a newspaper in his hand, and when he saw Bai Huiye coming in, he hurriedly put down the newspaper, stood up and walked in front of Bai Huiye.

"Hahaha, Kaguya, this trip has been hard, and there have been a lot of dangers. Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk. After speaking, Liu Liang pulled him to the small table on the side, Bai Huiye first expressed his gratitude, and then sat down with the state lord. Liu Liang was not in a hurry to ask, but poured two cups of hot tea first, and Bai Huiye took it and drank two sips after thanking him.

"Hui Ye, tell me, what did you find on this trip?" Liu Liang asked with a smile, he was in a good mood now, first of all, Bai Hui Ye returned safely, you must know that although he is his own subordinate and is very respectful to himself, he is a side branch of the Bai family after all. And he is an outsider who is dependent on the Bai family's forces, so if something happens to Bai Huiye, although the Bai family will not blame himself for dying in the line of duty, I am afraid that the future will be a little bleak.

Then, he only thought that this trip would only catch some marginal crimes, and he sent Bai Huiye out because he couldn't do it here, so he wanted to break through from other places. I didn't expect to find a big fish.

Finally, not to mention anything else, so far, this time at least the main force of Yuhu Village that has caused trouble to Tinghe has been eliminated, not only has he broken the arm of the Tinghe Gang, but he has also made a contribution in the court. You must know that the previous state lord did not eliminate this gang of water thieves in four or five years, but it only took him more than a year to complete this. Although he knew that his predecessor had colluded with the Tinghe Gang and turned a blind eye to the water thieves, he took this matter to the imperial court, and whoever was incompetent and powerful would know it at a glance, and it could be regarded as a brilliant political achievement.

Bai Huiye put down the teacup in his hand, arched his hand with a wry smile, and said, "Alas, Kaguya has been entrusted by the adult, and this trip is not a success. ”

"Oh?" Liu Liang raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter, didn't it go well when I heard from the person you sent back before?"

"It's true that the front is going well, but in the end there are some failures, you listen to me。。。。。。 Bai Huiye did not hide it, and directly started from his arrival in Huinan, and told Liu Liang that he had found out about Zhang's mansion, found Zhang Qing, the attack on Wangting, the encounter on the river, the battle of the outer gods, and the destruction of the account books, and talked for half an hour.

Liu Liang frowned and stroked his beard, he didn't expect Bai Huiye's trip to be so thrilling, he had fought five innate players alone, and he also encountered two foreign gods. Although he is an innate Seven Heavens, holding the Zhenzhou Dragon and Tiger Seal and the Baotu Mountain and River Sword in Cloud City, he can also fight with martial artists who have just entered the outer gods.

But judging from Bai Huiye's description, those two are not ordinary external gods, and it is estimated that they can kill themselves with one move. This kind of strong man entered Yunzhou, and one of them was a sect that did not have a very good relationship with the imperial court, and the other was directly an evil sect, which was not good news for him, and he didn't know if it would delay his plan for the Tinghe Gang.

In fact, it has already affected his plan now, because that important evidence account book was inadvertently destroyed by the Bodhisattva of Enlightenment.
