Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173

After leaving the government office, Niu Wei left in a hurry. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he turned suddenly and entered an alley.

Different from other alleys in Paju City, this alley is extremely clean. It seems that someone has cleaned it frequently, and there are no people walking in and out of the alley. Except for the tall gatehouse in the middle of the alley, the whole alley There were no other residents there.

Niu Wei's final destination is this tall gatehouse.

Hurriedly coming to the door, Niu Wei's face had long since lost the ferocious expression in the yamen, and there was a flattering smile on his face full of flesh, and he said with a smile: "Brothers, Is Master Ding at home?"

It is said that the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, the few in this door, do not look lower than the seventh-rank, raised their chins and glanced at Niu Wei, and snorted disdainfully: "Who am I, this is not Mr. Niu!" ?"

"Hey, why are you brothers being polite to me? If you are an adult or not, just call me an idiot. Master Ding...is he in the mansion?"

One of them nodded, and said with a nonchalant smile: "My master is at home, but he ordered early in the morning that we won't see any guests today, so Mr. Niu should go back first."

"No visitor?" Niu Wei was startled, and hurriedly said anxiously: "Brothers, please do me a favor. I really have something important to see you, please go and report." After finishing speaking, Niu Wei stretched out his hand He took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it over quickly.

For Yinzi's sake, Menzi nodded his head, didn't say anything dead, just said something to try, and then entered the mansion.

Niu Wei waited impatiently outside for a while, only to see the doorman slowly walking out from the inside. When he saw Niu Wei, he didn't mention his master's attitude, but complained that he was disturbing the master, and got another meal Scolding, maybe even the job will be lost.

When Niu Wei heard it, he didn't understand that what he said was clearly meant for himself, so he quickly handed over another piece of silver.

Seeing this piece of silver, Menzi showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, he stretched out his hand to take the silver, and then said: "Lord Niu, just go in, my master is waiting for you in the living room. "

What the hell, this is not the expression after being scolded, this is clearly taking advantage of the fire, Niu Wei knew in his heart but his face could only pretend to be confused, after finally walking into this high-rise house, he walked towards the living room familiarly go.

After a short while, Niu Wei came to the living room, and when he saw a familiar figure in the living room from a distance, he trotted in front of that person in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Master Ding, it's not good!" , something serious happened."

"What happened?" The figure in the living room took a sip of tea slowly and looked at Niu Wei calmly.

"It's not Wu Zhi's gang, and I don't know where they heard that the new Hezhi Mansion has arrived, and they ran to the gate of the mansion early in the morning to block people."

"Oh? There is such a thing? How did you do it?" The expression on the face of the sitting figure finally changed slightly.

"No, the little one just wanted to arrest that Wu Zhi, but at this moment, that Prefect He suddenly appeared and forced Wu Zhi to go there. I'm afraid he already knows about that by now, my lord, hurry up." Think of a way."

Hearing Niu Wei's flustered voice, the person sitting on the seat immediately gave him a displeased look, and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? How can it be true?"

"But..." Niu Wei was inevitably still a little nervous. After all, if this kind of thing was found out, it would be a big deal, so how could he not panic.

"Not so many but." The sitting man stood up slowly, glanced at the direction of the government office, and said coldly: "Don't be impatient, I'll meet that He Jia'an in person before we talk about it."

……

"Why?"

Hearing Chen Yue'e's analysis, He Jia'an couldn't help but smile a little, but he didn't know that his smile looked so hateful in Chen Yue'e's eyes. He stretched out his hand and grasped He Jia'an's ear familiarly. Painfully 'ouch' cried out.

"Quickly tell me, what are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Chen Yue'e sensed sensitively that she seemed to have made a mistake.

"Let go first, and I'll tell you if you let go." After Chen Yuee let go of her fingers, He Jiaan couldn't help but rubbed her red ears, and then said, "Think about it, if it's really what Wu Zhi said In that way, his family alone would have been deducted about 70 to [-] taels of silver, so how can there be hundreds of families in a village, if they add up, I am afraid there must be thousands of taels instead of tens of thousands of taels. Can he swallow a small punishment book? So there must be other people behind this incident."

"So that's the case." Chen Yue'e nodded half-understanding, blinked her eyes and asked curiously: "Then who is this person?"

"Hehe." He Jiaan smiled, and before Chen Yue'e's fingers touched his ears, he said, "Let's wait here, whoever comes in first will be the black hand behind the scenes."

Regarding He Jiaan's words, Chen Yue'e has always believed unconditionally. Since He Jiaan said so, she simply didn't even go to the flower shop, and directly found a hidden place at the gate of the mansion, looking at the direction of the gate eagerly, and Let's see, who is this villain who dares to embezzle the blood, sweat and silver of the people.

After waiting for this, almost half an hour has passed. With Chen Yue'e's temperament, waiting for such a long time has already exceeded her endurance. I saw a person flashing out from the gate and walking directly into the mansion.

"Ah? How could it be him?" When she saw this person, Chen Yuee was stunned. She had been in Paju for so long, and because she brought He Jiaan's letter with her when she came, these officials, including Zhang Tianliang, treated her They are all very good, and there is nothing to embarrass me, especially Ding Yuanchang, the Paju Tongzhi, is very caring for himself. When he heard that he was going to plant a large area of ​​flowers here, he came forward for a long time to help himself. Buying land, buying planters, and hiring workers, I have all these things in mind. What I think in my heart is that when He Jiaan comes, I must say something nice for Mr. Ding, but I didn't expect that, I waited and waited. The big villain waiting for him is Mr. Ding Yuan, who has been helping him all the time.

Could it be that Xianggong made a mistake?Maybe Mr. Ding just came to see Mr. Ding as usual, no, I must not let Mr. Ding misunderstand Mr. Ding as who he is.

Thinking of this, Chen Yue'e quickly walked out of her hiding place, and hurriedly walked towards the government office.

With such a short delay, Ding Yuanchang in front had disappeared. Chen Yue'e didn't see anyone in the court just now. After thinking about it, she guessed that they were most likely in the back office, so she hurriedly asked Hou Ya looked for it.

While walking, Chen Yue'e suddenly heard someone laugh heartily, and then said: "Master He's reputation spreads far and wide, and it's really a blessing for the people of Paju to be able to frighten those young people."

Chapter 1174 Give an Confession

This voice was quite familiar to Chen Yue'e, it was clearly that Pazhou fellow magistrate Ding Yuanchang who had just entered the government office.

After listening for a while, I heard He Jia'an's laughter.

It seems that the first meeting between the two of them should feel good, otherwise they wouldn't be able to smile so happily.

Thinking of this, Chen Yue'e's hanging heart finally fell into her stomach. After thinking about it, she turned around and left. There are serious matters to discuss between men, so what a thing it is for a woman to be caught in it.

He Jia'an is actually not very familiar with this fellow prefect, but Chen Yue'e mentioned this fellow prefect who helped her a lot in the letter she wrote to the capital before, so when she heard that this was fellow prefect Na Ding, A happy smile immediately appeared on He Jiaan's face. After meeting him, he mentioned Ding Yuanchang's help to Chen Yue'e.

"Hey, it's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about." Ding Yuanchang waved his hands, and then said: "I would like to thank Mrs. He face to face. Since she arrived in Paju, she has hired many local people in Paju. Biggest help."

He Jiaan has long been used to turning a deaf ear to the polite words in the officialdom, and after a while with Ding Yuanchang, He Jiaan finally brought the topic to what happened in the morning, and he smiled helplessly: "It's really nice to say that." It's ridiculous, the first day I arrived in Paju, I was woken up by the scolding of the people."

"Oh? There is still such a thing? Don't worry, Mr. He, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely punish such troublesome people."

Just now he thanked himself for the common people, but in such a short time the common people became troublemakers in his mouth, He Jiaan couldn't help but snorted softly in his heart, but the smile on his face did not diminish, shaking Shaking his head, he said, "Master Ding, don't worry. In fact, I know about this matter pretty well, and I don't blame these common people for coming to me. There is something strange about it."

"Oh? What have you heard, my lord?" Ding Yuanchang asked tentatively.

He Jiaan said slowly: "I heard that Mr. Zhang expropriated a piece of land and a village a few days ago, is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Ding Yuanchang nodded and said seriously.

"Does Master Nading know how much compensation Master Zhang gave?"

"This..." Ding Yuanchang was obviously stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, Mr. He doesn't know. When Mr. Zhang was around, my fellow acquaintance was basically just a decoration. Mr. Zhang is the one who decides, and rarely consults the opinions of lower officials, just like the land acquisition, I just heard about it a few days ago, so I am really not very clear about the specific amount."

"Oh, so that's the case." He Jiaan nodded as if he believed what Ding Yuanchang said, and then asked curiously: "Then Mr. Zhang has left Paju now, if I want to know more about this matter?" If so, who should I turn to?"

"This..." Ding Yuanchang hesitated for a moment, and gave a name: "Hufang Xie Xiaoyuan."

He Jiaan didn't expect to be able to find out the real reason of the matter on the first day he arrived, but since he had someone to inquire about, he naturally had to call in to ask, and before Ding Yuanchang left, He Jiaan sent someone Go and invite Xie Xiaoyuan from the general household.

While the two of them were waiting for Xie Xiaoyuan to arrive, Chen Yuee suddenly came in with a tray, put the tray on the table with a smile, and then greeted: "Master, since my concubine arrived in Paju, Master Domundin has taken care of you." , From the garden to the flower shop, Mr. Ding has done his best every time, and I am worried about how to repay Mr. Ding. Now that my husband is here, you can repay this favor for my concubine."

"Hehe, my wife's business is naturally my business." He Jiaan responded with a smile, then pointed to the food and wine on the table and said: "Then I will offer a glass to Mr. Ding, I hope that in the days to come, you and I We can work together to build Paju into a better place."

Hearing He Jiaan's words, Ding Yuanchang quickly raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Master He is an inexhaustible talent, I only hope that I can follow Mr. He around and dedicate my strength to the people of Pazhou."

After speaking, the two of them drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.
