Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth neglected place
Liu Mingzhi and Qinglian looked at the sparse pedestrians on the street and sighed.
It wasn't that I was slacking off and neglecting the disaster situation in Qingzhou Prefecture. It was actually that Qingzhou Prefecture had become a mess since I arrived, and now I could only do my best to make things in Qingzhou Prefecture perfect.
"Who is it? You are not allowed to trespass into the Governor's Mansion!"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into it. "I'm sorry to have you tell me that Liu Shu, a young man from the south of the Yangtze River, has come to visit the governor!"
The officer weighed the money in his hand and said, "Shangdao, I can give you a shout-out, but it's hard to say whether the governor will see you or not. I hope you are prepared to be rejected!"
"That's natural. Please tell me that I'm here to buy tea!"
"I know, just wait!"
After the guards left, the remaining few were still wary that Liu Mingzhi and his two men might break in.
Qinglian tugged at the hem of Liu Mingzhi's clothes, "Husband, these people are simply blind to wealth. If your subordinates are like this, your boss must not be a good person."
"Hey, don't jump to conclusions. As the saying goes, little devils are difficult to deal with. That's why they didn't drive us away in a domineering manner, which means they still abide by the dragon's laws. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. It's normal to be greedy for small fortunes!"
"It's unfair. It's obviously their fault, but you still defend them."
"Lian'er, although my husband also wants this world to be absolutely fair and everyone will be loyal and loyal to their duties, but there are different levels of people and their character is also different from different religions. If there is no sand in your eyes, what fun is there in living!
"
Qinglian nodded in understanding, not knowing whether to believe in her own thoughts or to agree with her husband's.
"I dare to ask you, Mr. Liu, but it is Mr. Liu who came to Qingzhou to sell tea that Captain Zhen said!"
While he was talking, the servant who had just collected Liu Mingzhi's money hurriedly walked out.
Lieutenant Zhen? Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that it was the leader at the gate of the city. He was the only one who knew that he was here to sell tea.
Nodding calmly, "No, that's right!"
The officer nodded and said, "My eyes are clumsy. Mr. Liu, the governor, has invited me. Please come with me!"
"It's time to work."
"It should be!"
After following the officer through the corridor and alley, Liu Mingzhi was a little surprised. Walking further inside was the inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion. What did the surname Gu mean? When meeting a businessman he had never met before, he went to the backyard instead of the living room to entertain him.
As for why Liu Mingzhi understands the layout of the Governor's Mansion so well, his father-in-law did this in the first place, so he naturally understands the layout of the Governor's Mansion.
The buildings of the Governor's Mansion were built under the unified supervision of the Ministry of Works. The size may be different, but the layout will definitely not change.
Not understanding the key, Liu Mingzhi could only blindly follow the officer in.
As for what it means, you will know it once you meet.
Before approaching the palace gate of the inner courtyard, I heard the laughter of a group of singing and dancing birds, occasionally mixed with the exclamations of some women. However, the screams did not have a panic tone but instead contained provocative laughter.
Liu Mingzhi and Qinglian looked at each other in surprise.
Qinglian shrugged her shoulders and blinked her eyes a few times. Look, this is what you said, husband. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. There are many rivers outside, but the governor of Qingzhou is having fun in his house, drinking wine and admiring the moon.
Liu Mingzhi took a few breaths to calm down, but he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
"Baby, I caught you, please let me kiss you."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at the middle-aged man who was holding his mouth and trying to move up. He was about the same age as the old man, but he had a big belly like a Maitreya Buddha.
With a piece of silk covering their neatly trimmed beards, a dozen young, beautiful and disheveled women were covering their lips and looking blankly at the middle-aged man holding them.
"Master, you caught the wrong one."
"Yes, sir, you have captured a young master."
The middle-aged man pulled off the silk cloth from his eyes. The light was bright and he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden light. He squinted at Liu Mingzhi standing in front of him.
The middle-aged man's face turned a little green, probably because he thought of his indecent behavior just now. "Who are you, and what are you doing in the Governor's Mansion?"
Glancing at the pavilion in the inner courtyard where the aroma of wine, meat and powder was overflowing, Liu Mingzhi suppressed the anger in his heart and hugged a fist: "Junior Liu Shu, it's polite to pay homage to the governor."
The middle-aged man smelled of alcohol and shook his head, "I am not the governor of Qingzhou. You have mistaken the person. Gu governor has gone to the back for his convenience. Please stay aside and wait. Don't delay me playing with the little beauties."
"That's it!" Liu Mingzhi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly thought that since it was convenient for Gu Zhiheng to go inside, the fact that he wanted to come to the courtyard to hold a banquet still had something to do with him.
"This junior has stupid eyes, I dare to ask you about your honor to make up for the nuisance of this junior!"
"I am the governor of Qingzhou, Tong Hewu."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know the truth. I've seen the young governor. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."
Tong Hewu burped, "Are you a scholar?"
"Exactly!"
"No wonder I keep bowing to you when I see you. Okay, okay, just stay here and don't disturb me from being intimate with the little beauty."
"Yes, please help yourself, Governor Tong."
Liu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and watched Tong Hewu playing hide-and-seek with the girls Yingge Yanwu. He suppressed the anger in his heart. He had to endure it at this time.
As if aware of her husband's bad mood, Qinglian took Liu Mingzhi's wrist and patted it gently.
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and immediately calmed down. If he got angry because of this matter, he might reveal his flaws later. This might be due to his weak skills and lack of training.
Indicating to Qinglian that she was fine, Liu Mingzhi continued to look at the furnishings in the inner courtyard, and began to think about why Tong and Wu appeared in the governor's office at this time.
Qiao Changjing, the magistrate of Qingshan County, said that there was another reason for the conspiracy. Since Chang Yunfeng said that Gu Zhiheng was a rare good official, how could he hold a banquet and have fun in the mansion during such a famine?
"Why do I feel like I'm being led around?"
I carefully recalled everything that happened when I arrived in Qingzhou, thinking about everything one by one.
Lieutenant Zhen asked him to go into the city and wait for him after hearing that he had brought three hundred thousand taels of silver, but he did not come to see him.
The young shopkeeper of the small Yunlai Inn can actually recognize the sweaty BMW at a glance. Qingshan County arrests Qi Qi, the county magistrate Qiao Changjing, and the Qingzhou Prefectural Army Commander Chang Yunfeng appear seemingly
Liu Mingzhi always felt that something was wrong, but he just needed an opportunity to wake himself up.
Qingzhou Governor and Qingzhou Governor, why do everything go so smoothly but somehow seem to have been arranged by someone else?
"What am I missing?"
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, there are some things that I can't figure out, just like everything is beyond my expectation, completely contrary to my expectations!"
"Don't be anxious, you will figure it out if you think about it slowly. Sometimes you will be led by the nose if you are in a hurry. The leader said that the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect said that sometimes the place you ignore is the place that is going to kill you.
!”
"It's okay. The White Lotus Sect has avenged you. As long as there are no outsiders, what did you say?"
"Lian'er said that sometimes the place you ignore is the most fatal place!"
"Is it something you neglected? Think about me carefully."
"This is Young Master Liu from Jiangnan. I'm a little inconvenienced. I've been waiting for a long time!"
