My wife is weirder than the last
Chapter 145 Chapter 208-210 Minister, are you still peeking at the small books?
Chapter 145 Chapter 208-210 Minister, are you still peeking at the small books?
Yu Gan thought about it for a while, and then said, "The first and most important thing is to find out the man who made Miao Cairen pregnant before entering the palace.
This man is very important, he may be the source of these things, and he has an account with His Majesty.
And to find out this man, one should follow the timeline.During the period from four months ago to a year ago, all the information about Miao Cairen was found out as much as possible.
The bead tires are secretly knotted, and such things will always leave clues.And focus on checking the family members of Miao talented women.Find out if her family knows about it.
If Miao Cai was sent to the palace knowing this matter, it is definitely not as simple as wanting to gain His Majesty's favor, there must be other purposes.
So Miao Cairen and her family have to check.Her background has to be sorted out again, and she needs to find out what her background is.
In addition, I think it is necessary to check Miao Cairen's going out of the city during this period. She came to Tai'an later, and lived with her father in Qingzhou.
So it is very likely that she will go back, and it may also happen in Qingzhou.
After that, pay attention to these points.First, why did she practice assassination, and second, who injected the poison and in what way.
The second is, is it possible that this Miao Cairen took the poison on his own initiative and let the poison strengthen his attack strength.The third is how the talented Miao girl entered the palace with the body of a willow.
Miao talented women entering the palace may have other deep-seated missions.Checking these things requires you to enter the palace frequently, this matter is really suitable for you.
In the end, the subordinate thought that there was no rush to tell His Majesty about this matter, and he would discuss it with His Majesty in detail when the truth came to light. What did Gu Lao think? "
"Well, the old man knows it well. Let me check the background line first, and then go to see Miao Cairen's uncle in the criminal prison." Gu Qingyuan nodded.
"Miao Cairen's family members are already in prison?" Yu Gan asked curiously.
"Assassination of the Son of Heaven is already a fact, it's tantamount to conspiracy, why not go to jail?" Gu Qingyuan replied, "As for Miao Cairen's father, he also sent someone to Qingzhou to arrest him, and he probably will be back in a few days."
"Okay." Yu Gan cupped his fists.
"You don't need to stay here anymore, hurry up and go." Gu Qingyuan waved his hand.
"Heard you two, hurry up and leave." Yu Qian ordered Lu Xing and the other two.
"Boss, give me a while, I'm almost finished reading this man." Lu Xing, who didn't know when he started to examine the body of the staff member, said without raising his head.
With black lines all over his head, Yu Gan said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour, hurry up."
Soon, Lu Xing finished the inspection, this time the speed was obviously much faster,
"What discovery?" Yu Gan asked, "You don't have any novel angles, do you?"
"No." Lu Xing shook his head, "It's consistent with what's on the file, and there's nothing else useful to discover."
Yu Gan nodded, "Okay, come with me, and get down to business."
After finishing speaking, Yu Gan turned his head to look at Gu Qingyuan and said, "Old Gu, we'll leave first, I still have to thank you for this matter."
Gu Qingyuan just waved his hands.
"Why are you standing there? Don't thank Mr. Gu? Without Mr. Gu, do you think you can get out of here?" Seeing that Lu Xing was still packing the boxes, Yu Gan couldn't help kicking him again.
Only then did the latter come to his senses, and hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, "Thank you for taking responsibility, Mr. Gu."
Later, Cui Caiyi quickly bowed and said something.
Only then did Yu Gan take the two of them away first.
As soon as he left the mourning hall, Yu Gan couldn't help kicking Lu Xing again, "The next time I find something unspeakable, I will swallow it up, especially when there are outsiders present. Do you understand?"
"Understood, boss, sorry, sorry." Lu Xing bared his teeth and said.
"I brought you out because of your cleverness. What happened to you just now? Can you just blurt out such a thing?
One day if this happens again, you will not be wronged if you are hacked to death. "Yu Gan stared at the other party and said again.
"Thank you boss for teaching me." Lu Xing smiled.
"This matter, you are rotten in my stomach, just pretend that you have never heard of it or seen it. No one can talk nonsense. Especially Caiyi, your family members are not allowed to mention this matter at all, you know?" Gan solemnly asked.
"Yes, boss." The two promised.
"Boss, who do you think is so bold to let our Majesty do this? If he is caught, he will not be able to kill everyone?" Lu Xing asked curiously in a low voice.
Seeing that Yu Gan was going to get mad again, he quickly added, "It's just the three of us, it's fine to talk behind closed doors."
"Shut up!" Yu Gan yelled, "Talk about this again, I will cut you off. Even if there is a match in the future, it is my business. Do you want to talk more?"
Lu Xing shrank his neck and stopped talking.
"Boss, where are we going next?" Cui Caiyi took the initiative to change the topic, "This is not the direction to leave the temple."
"Go to Minister Gongsun, and then go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together." Yu Gan replied, "You have to invite the big boss, we can't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion rashly to please.
Gu Lao can't get away now, so he can only call Minister Gongsun to go with him. "
"Boss, I really admire you, you have a lot of connections." Lu Xing started licking again.
Soon, Yu Gan brought the two of them to Dingbu's side.He was not in a hurry to go upstairs, but raised his arms and dangled below.
Wealth and honor do not return home, like brocade clothes walking at night.
Yu Gan showed off his new clothes at the bottom with the look of a villain.
Those members of the Ministry of Ding naturally knew about Yu Gan being transferred to Shaoqing's office. Yesterday it was only one leaf, but today there are three.
Everyone was speechless watching Yu Gan's catwalk there. There was no way he could be promoted quickly.
Many people felt guilty in their hearts.
Wasn't this forced to wait in the minister's house for a few days, how could he turn around and become the director of Shaoqing's department.I don't know what tricky things are being done in the minister's room.
I'm so envious.
Looking at these people, Yu Gan was very relieved and felt really good.
"Director Yu, congratulations." Du Hui, who was inside, came out first.
Yu Gan quickly restrained his arrogance, "Thank you, Minister Du."
"Don't call me that." Du Hui waved his hand, "We are on the same level now, but you are superior to me in terms of status. Just call me Lao Du."
"Minister Du was joking, I'd better call him Minister Du, and it's easy to say." Yu Gan said with a smile.
"Come on." Du Hui rolled his eyes, "I still don't know what you're thinking? Be quiet, don't irritate our young people.
When the time comes, you don't want to work, so you come over to do something? "
Yu Gan smiled awkwardly, put down his arm that was held high, wishing everyone could see it, "Listen to Minister Du."
"Work hard and have a bright future." Du Hui nodded with a smile, then turned and left, as if he was busy.
At this time, two little girls ran out of the room in a hurry.Gongsun Yue looked at Yu Gan with stars and moons all over her face, and said excitedly, "Yu Gan, you are here."
Yu Gan's face was serious, "Do you still want to come to my place? Call me Director Yu! There are no rules, how can I want you?"
Gongsunyue stuck out her tongue and said hopefully, "So, Director Yu, you are here to pick me up."
"What are you thinking about!" Yu Gan slammed his head on the other person's forehead, "I told Bai Shaoqing about you, and he agreed. When you go to report by yourself, someone will pick you up."
"Yeah, okay, I understand." Gongsunyue nodded happily happily.
"Is the minister up there?" Yu Gan asked.
"Here I am."
"I'll go up alone." Yu Gan looked at Lu Xing and said, "You two just wait downstairs. Let Xiaoyue receive you."
"Don't worry, wrap it on me." Gongsunyue said while patting her small chest.
Yu Gan seemed to have thought of something, this Gongsun Yue was too talkative and unreliable, he instructed, "Don't talk nonsense, if you let me know, you don't want to come to Huang Si, do you hear me?"
"Know it."
Only then did Yu Gan feel relieved and went upstairs directly.When he came to the door of Gongsun Yan's room, Yu Gan specially arranged his new clothes, and then pushed the door openly and walked in with arrogance.
Then, the scene was awkward for a few seconds.
Gongsun Yan was holding a small book in her hand and looking at it. Yu Gan, who was sharp-eyed, recognized at a glance that it was the book in which she wrote her aunt's secret.
Is it the way I opened it wrong?
Yu Gan was dumbfounded at the time.I knelt down directly.
I forgot to take it back, and I didn't dare to take the initiative to say that I would take it back.He was also thinking that this thing should have been thrown into the trash can by Gongsun Yan.
But are you still looking at it now?
Auntie, what are you doing.
Gongsunyan knew that Yu Gan would come to her to hand over the case, but obviously she didn't expect Yu Gan to come so suddenly, and then she realized what she was doing.
The old woman, whose mood was as stable as Mount Tai, suddenly panicked at this moment.
"roll!"
"Okay." Yu Gan didn't even think about it, he just withdrew and closed the door.
He gasped heavily, the aunt's sense of oppression was too strong, and his heart was trembling with fright.
Yu Gan who was standing at the door hesitated, scared and excited at the same time.Gongsun Yan is still reading her little notebook!
what does that mean?Has Auntie started to slowly embark on her own path of no return?
I can't help but be excited.
As we all know, Auntie's strategy is extremely difficult.
The unique maturity of an old woman, as well as a little hedgehog reaction, all indicate that it is a hard nut to crack.
Yu Gan really didn't expect that Auntie would like the tune of Xiaoben.If I knew it earlier, I would write more in-depth things at that time, so that my aunt would know her abilities better.
After Yu Gan was happy for a while, he was thinking whether to knock on the door again, because after all, there is business now, and the business is important.
But now I broke through another embarrassing scene of Gongsun Yan. If I got in, would the other party cut me off?
After all, the best way to break out of embarrassment is to cut off the insider, which is the safest way.
When he was hesitating, Gongsun Yan's cold voice came from inside the room, "Come in."
Unable to be entangled, he straightened up his usual mood, walked in with a relaxed mind, and just pretended that he didn't recognize his little book just now.
"I'm sorry Minister, I forgot to knock on the door when I came in, and disturbed the Minister's work." Yu Gan said apologetically as soon as he entered.
Seeing Yu Gan like this, Gongsun Yan's face softened.He really didn't seem to realize what he was looking at just now.
That's right, the time is so short, and it's a time when young people are proud of their spring breeze, so they shouldn't be so careful to find out what they were looking at just now.
Gongsun Yan's expression calmed down completely, "I won't knock on the door again. I'll let Bai Shaoqing teach you how to knock on the door."
"No, no more." Yu Gan smiled awkwardly.
Gongsun Yan completely relaxed, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at Yu Gan lazily, "The new clothes are changed quickly enough, should I change my mind in the future?
How about calling you Director Yu? "
"Minister, what are you talking about!" Yu Gan pretended not to be happy, and went directly behind Gongsun Yan, stretching out his hands to gently rub her fragrant shoulders.
"I only have one minister in my life, and that is you, Minister. No matter what happens to me in the future, I will always be Xiaoyu with you and will never change.
I have emphasized many times before that I am really willing to serve you, minister, for the rest of my life. "
For Yu Gan's flattery, Gongsunyan neither rejected nor praised, but just accepted it.He didn't stop the other party's kneading.
Because it's really comfortable.
She wanted to scream.
Every time Yu Gan massaged her, she wanted to cry out subconsciously.
This seemingly normal physical contact between the opposite sex is actually the most psychological test, especially for an old woman who has been lonely for many years.
May I ask before, which young man dared to massage Gongsun Yan so shamelessly and desperately?
Only Yu Gan, a wonderful flower, dared to do this.
Bold, brazen, and a scheming boy, he forcibly made Gongsun Yan feel comfortable and got used to it.
If you don't press it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
Gongsun Yan just closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage quietly. Seeing this, Yu Gan worked harder and harder on her aunt.
I look forward to being recognized by my aunt, holding my aunt's thigh well, and eating my aunt's soft rice.
After a full quarter of an hour, Gongsun Yan directly patted Yu Gan's sour arm away.
When you're done enjoying yourself, you ruthlessly withdraw.
Yu Gan obediently resigned himself to going around to the opposite of Gongsun Yan, and stood obediently.
"Anyway, I'd like to congratulate you first." Gongsun Yan said seriously, "After all, you came from Department D. I'm very satisfied that you can become the director of the Shaoqing Department so quickly and at such a young age. Proud too. Congratulations."
Yu Gan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly moved to the bottom of his heart. At this moment, the aunt was so warm and considerate, and he really wanted to hide in her majestic embrace.
"Thank you, Minister." Yu Gan thanked with emotion.
Gongsun Yan took the initiative and said, "I have also received His Majesty's orders. I will do my best to help you with these two cases. But after all, you are responsible for the main body, and naturally your opinions and ideas are the main ones.
I won't interfere, you can rest assured.You have absolute autonomy. "
"Well, yes, I will try my best." Yu Gan nodded.The process of handling cases in Dali Temple is like this. Whoever is in charge is guided by whose opinion and has absolute power.
Gongsun Yan suddenly hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You were assigned such a big case when you first joined the Huang Division. Logically speaking, it's impossible. Have you offended someone?
Have you had any conflicts with people from Prince Zhao's Mansion recently? "
Yu Gan was even more moved, not only Gu Qingyuan, but also Gongsun Yan's first question.It's about really caring about yourself.
He re-explained it with the same rhetoric he had given to Gu Qingyuan just now.
Only then did Gongsun Yan nod her head, "It's good that you don't provoke anyone. Your Majesty entrusts you with such a big case, so you should behave yourself."
"Well, I will, and I will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations." Yu Gan echoed.
"Where do you plan to start?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first." Yu Gan told Gongsun Yan his thoughts.
"So, this time you want me to accompany you to Xiangfu?" Gongsun Yan said with narrowed eyes.
Yu Gan said frankly, "Yes, although I am a director, I am not enough in Zhang Xiang's eyes. I am afraid that it is not easy to do things when I speak lightly, so I want to ask the minister to help you."
"Well, I'll go with you." Gongsun Yan nodded, "However, why don't you call me Mr. Gu. With Mr. Gu's prestige, he is more suitable than me."
"Mr. Gu is busy with Miao Cairen's case." Yu Gan said in a low voice.
Neither he nor Gu Qingyuan thought of hiding this matter from Gongsun Yan.After all, the matter is of great importance, and it may be closely related to the case. Gongsun Yan is absolutely qualified to know.
After hearing what Yu Gan had said about Miao Cairen, Gongsun Yan's face suddenly became heavy.
She has worked in Dali Temple for so many years, so she naturally knows the seriousness of this matter and what it means.A little carelessness in handling can lead to catastrophe.
"How many people know about this?" Gongsun Yan asked,
"Mr. Gu and I. There are also two people from Huang Si. I have ordered them both, and they are people who know how to measure and will not disclose it." Yu Gan added.
Gongsun Yan nodded her head slightly, and pondered, "At present, it seems that it is really most appropriate to leave this matter to Gu Lao. How about it, Gu Lao probably won't be able to get out of the family until the investigation is clear.
After that, I will accompany you all the way, so don't bother Mr. Gu. "
"Okay." Yu Gan nodded.
"I found out where did you go wrong? You were fine, but you abruptly found out these two things about Miao Cairen? There is something wrong with you." Gongsun Yan made a rare remark.
"I also found out that I really seem to be a bit unlucky." Yu Gan said with a smile.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's get down to business." Gongsun Yan stood up and said.
Yu Gan hurriedly followed.
Gongsunyue downstairs was chatting with Lu Xing and the other two, she didn't know what she was talking about, so when she saw Yu Gan coming down, she quickly shut up.
"Lu Xing, go to the stables and ask for a carriage, Ximen is waiting." Yu Gan ordered directly.
Lu Xing cupped his fists to accept the order, and quickly ran away.Gongsun Yan didn't write any ink, and went straight to Ximen.Yu Gan and Cui Caiyi followed closely.
As for Gongsunyue who wanted to join in the fun, Yu Gan didn't need to say anything, she was directly stopped by Gongsunyan.
Simon, the unicorn carriage.
Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan sat in the carriage. For the former, the days of driving in person are over, and there will be a special person in charge from now on.
Lu Xing and Cui Caiyi were sitting and driving outside, and they didn't chat. The former occasionally turned his head to look at Yu Gan, Gongsun Yanhe and Meimei in the carriage.
I'm so envious, I'm really envious.
Everyone is the same age, and Yu Gan can talk to the minister wherever he goes, and he is very familiar with him.I really want to be as chic as my own director.
Yu Gan who was sitting inside naturally didn't think about Lu Xing's thoughts, he was reading some silk books in his hand.
What is recorded on the silk book is the information of the staff member in the prime minister's mansion.
Staff has been around since ancient times, and many powerful and powerful houses will basically have some.
Most of the aides in the Xungui Mansion were literati who could not pass the exam, or people with bad luck, and some who didn't pass the exam but were good at making suggestions.
They usually teach the juniors in the mansion and give advice to the mansion. After all, they are scholars, so they are very useful no matter what.
But it's not so simple for staff at the level of Xiangfu. These people are really smart people. They are not only good at reading, but also easy to use their brains.
Most of the people who came to Xiangfu were those who failed the exam this time, but they were young, and they would take the exam in three years.
In the name of cherishing talents, Zhang Tingyu raised these people in the mansion, and they will always pass the exam next time or next time.Once he entered the officialdom, he was naturally labeled as a prime minister.
The same is true for some literati who are proficient in scheming. As the prime minister of a country, Zhang Tingyu must not be in every detail.Except for the usual help from those subordinate officials.
Many other things can only be solved by the people in the house.At Zhang Tingyu's level, there are many things, and there will be someone to help solve them properly.
Therefore, the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be ridiculed by other literati, but will flock to them.
There are not many people who can be regarded as staff by Zhang Tingyu.
This kind of staff culture has existed since ancient times, and the emperor knows about it, but he doesn't know how to do it, and he has never been in that position.
The person who died this time had an ordinary background, his surname was Liu and his name was Zisi, he was from Jiangnan, and he was a Juren.Two years ago, I came to Tai'an to rush for the exam, but I failed the exam.Afterwards, he handed over the self-recommendation document to the prime minister.
The custom of self-recommendation documents has been passed down for many years, especially for those who are like prime ministers, countless students submit documents to the prime minister's office every year, hoping to be in the prime minister's eyes.
This Liu Zisi was one of them, and because of his proficiency in writing, he was favored by Zhang Tingyu, and entered the prime minister's mansion as a writer.
Usually responsible for helping to deal with things ordered by Zhang Tingyu.Like this kind of writer, the Xiangfu didn't say a lot, maybe there were seven or eight people.
To say that this Liu Zisi is also a talent, although he failed the ranking, but his writing ability is really good, and Zhang Tingyu valued him very much.
Usually, many documents are written by this Liu Zisi.It can be regarded as one of Zhang Tingyu's core group members.
As we all know, whether it is ancient or modern, people with excellent official document skills are deeply loved by leaders.
This Liu Zisi is such a person, he usually works in the prime minister's mansion, prepares for the exam by the way, and waits for the next imperial examination.
This is also a necessary process for many staff members.Once you pass the exam in the future, you will be the prime minister for sure.
Looking at Liu Zisi's reciting, it's quite ordinary and there's nothing suspicious about it.
The only doubt may be that Zhang Tingyu took him to a ghost banquet?
This doubt is also far-fetched, because there were still some people who accompanied Zhang Tingyu to the ghost banquet that night, and Liu Zisi was valued, so it was not particularly strange to get a place.
For many things, you still have to ask Zhang Tingyu to get results.
After closing the silk book, Yu Gan pondered twice and asked, "Minister, what kind of person do you think this Prime Minister is?"
Gongsun Yan said lightly, "I'm not familiar with it, I haven't been in touch with it. But I have heard about it. This person lives in luxury and corruption, and it is said that he is greedy for ink.
But he is extremely capable, and all political affairs can be perfectly resolved in his hands.And he is hard-working, and often goes to the front line to watch things.
Many people hated him, hated him for plundering people's fat and people's anointing.Many people also support him, because he has indeed done a lot of things that benefit the people. "
"It's a mixture of good and bad, these two extremes appearing in one person is a bit powerful." Yu Gan nodded, and then asked, "Then what is His Majesty's attitude towards him?"
"I don't know." Gongsun Yan shook her head, "I only know that Zhang Xiang, whom His Majesty relies on for many things, has won His Majesty's trust."
"That picture is so blatantly extravagant and corrupt, why didn't His Majesty say anything?" Yu Gan continued to ask.
Gongsun Yan said, "I only know that memorials to impeach Prime Minister Zhang are flying all over the place, but His Majesty has never expressed his position."
"Envy." Yu Gan expressed his true feelings, he was really envious.
At the root of the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, such an extravagant and flamboyant style, but not toppled.This Zhang Xiang definitely has several brushes.
This kind of person who is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and evil is actually the most powerful, and it is difficult to see what he wants to do.
Gongsun Yan glanced at Yu Gan and said disdainfully, "Are you envious of his beautiful wife and concubine?"
Yu Gan was startled, and quickly waved his hands, "No, absolutely not. All I need is the Minister."
"Ok?"
"I mean, if we have a conflict with Zhang Xiang, who will His Majesty support?" Yu Gan quickly changed the subject and asked.
Gongsun Yan sneered, "I won't support you anyway."
"Understood." Yu Gan nodded, "I'll confess to Uncle Zhang later, and don't mess with him. I can't afford to mess with him."
"What are you going to do later?" Gongsun Yan asked with squinted eyes, "Or, do you think Zhang Xiangqian is responsible for the Gu in this staff member's body?"
Yu Gan shook his head, "I don't dare to speculate now. If I make a mistake and tarnish the name of Zhang Xiang, then I will be in trouble. I can only say that I will look at the specific situation later and investigate carefully."
"Where do you want to start?" Gongsun Yan continued to ask.
"Naturally, we should first go to the aide's residence to see if we can find anything useful, and then talk to Prime Minister Zhang. If nothing can be found, we can only ask someone to come over and thoroughly investigate the Prime Minister's residence.
The source of this Gu poison must be found out, Zhang Xiang will definitely understand. "
"Is it too late to check the residence of that staff member now?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"It's not too late." Yu Gan shook his head, "If I were Minister Zhang, I would protect the residence as soon as that person was arrested and wait for inspection.
Only by doing this will he reduce his suspicion. Zhang Xiang is so smart, he must understand such a simple truth. "
"Then what if nothing useful is found in that staff room?" Gongsun Yan continued to ask.
"Then he is clean, and the place where the Gu is not in the house." Yu Gan explained.
Gongsun Yan said softly, "Couldn't Mr. Zhang clean it up by himself?"
"Minister, you can't say that." Yu Gan quickly waved his hand, "We can't dirty Zhang Xiang. In my heart, Zhang Xiang is pure and pure.
Minister, if you say that again, I will have to stay away from you. "
Gongsun Yan has black lines all over her head.
Yu Gan continued, "Think about it, minister, if it's really Zhang Xiang who tricked his staff. How could he be so foolish as to be brought directly to the ghost banquet.
Isn't that courting death?Therefore, I am willing to believe in Zhang Xiang. With Zhang Xiang's wisdom, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing. "
Gongsun Yan was expressionless.She must understand such a simple truth.It's just that I can't get used to Yu Gan's face.
The typical one who has milk is a mother.
Fortunately, this kind of person is in Dali Temple. If he becomes an official, it will be a disaster for Daqi.
"Now the water is so muddy, and one after another the big bosses have been pulled down. Minister, we have to be careful. Don't fail to investigate the case and provoke a lot of enemies to Dali Temple. This is me I absolutely don't want to see it." Yu Gan finally said.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Gongsun Yan snorted coldly.
"Don't dare, dare not, it's all from the bottom of my heart." Yu Gan smiled dryly.
"Your Director Yu is in charge of the case, you have the final say." Gongsun Yan said lightly.
Yu Gan's eyelids twitched twice, he forgot to say anything, and finally had no choice but to shut up obediently.
Soon, the carriage came to the inner city.The prime minister's mansion is only one street away from Li Nianxiang's mansion.These empty, extremely spacious.
The huge Prime Minister's Mansion squatted in the bright place of the street like a giant.
The carriage stopped on the side, and Yu Gan looked up at the Prime Minister's mansion after getting out of the carriage.
What a shiny building! !
Different from the antique mansions of other ministers, this prime minister's mansion has one word, magnificent.
The wall is so high that you can't see the side at a glance, which is enough to see how big the prime minister's mansion occupies.The whole body of the outer wall is decorated with golden decoration.Only the wide gate is painted with scarlet.
The door is not a brass ring, but a gold ring.
The two pillars in front of the door are erected with a whole piece of golden nanmu.Two stone lions squatted outside the gate with gold beads in their mouths.
The entire mansion was empty without guards, Yu Gan nodded to Cui Caiyi, and the latter went forward to knock on the door.
Looking at the majestic Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Xing couldn't help feeling, "I've heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is like a palace in the world, but today it's really so."
"You still understand?" Yu Gan asked casually.
"I've heard about it a little bit." Lu Xing whispered, "I heard that in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sandalwood is only used for stepping, the East China Sea golden juice is used for rinsing, the delicacies are eaten from all over the world, and the clothes are worn by top tailors. Celestial silk is woven one by one."
"You know so well, he is your father?" Yu Gan teased.
"Boss, you can't talk nonsense, it's always bad to be heard." Lu Xing smiled nervously.
Soon, Cui Caiyi who knocked on the door got a response, and an old man in his early sixties who looked like a housekeeper came out.
Only then did Yu Gan come forward and bowed, "Gongsun Yan, head of the Ding Department of Dali Temple, and Yu Gan, director of the Huang Department of the Shaoqing Office, came to visit Prime Minister Zhang for a routine inquiry about the staff of your mansion."
The butler smiled, turned his body sideways, and said with a smile, "Sir, come in with the little old man, my master is in the side courtyard."
"Okay, thank you very much." Yu Gan did a good job of etiquette and showed great respect to the housekeeper.
The four of them walked into the mansion following the little old man.
The moment he stepped into the mansion, Yu Gan immediately felt like a bumpkin.
How can there be such an exquisite residence in the world?
Different from the vulgar golden color on the outside, the inside can be said to be extremely exquisite.Numerous exotic flowers and plants are blooming, and they have been meticulously built to fit the layout of the mansion.
The pavilions and pavilions are quite literati-style, and they look like exquisite places where scholars live.
Of course, the main thing is to pay attention to wood. When Yu Gan went to the wood workshop last time, he also knew some top-notch wood from Daqi.
The wood used in the whole building of this Xiangfu is called Xichuan Lingnan.As the name suggests, this wood is a specialty of Xichuan, a spiritual wood that will not rot for thousands of years.
The fragrance of wood can last for thousands of years, and smelling it has the effect of calming the mind and prolonging life.The price is extremely expensive, it can be said that it is equivalent to gold.
But in this Xiangfu, it can be seen everywhere.
Yu Gan had been to Prince Gong's Mansion before, and he thought He Shen's mansion was awesome enough, but comparing it now, it's nothing short of insignificant.
Yu Gan's whole body is numb, how much does this cost him?
In the Sanyuanfang where I live, it is estimated that the income of all staff for 20 years will not be enough to build this Xiangfu.
It's really awesome, I don't know how much money Zhang Tingyu has been greedy for these years, but he still stands in the court for many years after spending such an open and aboveboard.
Yu Gan decided that he must investigate the case obediently, and this relationship cannot be offended.
The housekeeper led the way for a long time, and there were seven or eight courtyards around. Yu Gan was dazzled by the surrounding courtyards of various styles.
Finally, the butler stopped in front of the so-called side courtyard.
It is said to be a side courtyard, but it is actually a large piece of land, which is full of plants, fruits and vegetables, and everything.
At the head of the field, there were two people, an old man in coarse linen, and a man in his early thirties who were also in linen, with more than a dozen maidservants standing beside them.
The old man's trouser legs were rolled up, and his hair was only passed through by simple wooden hairpins.
He was digging the vegetable field with a golden hoe in his hand.
The old man was a little fat, and he was the prime minister Zhang Tingyu that Gu Qingyuan introduced to Yu Gan during the Ghost Festival.
At this moment, the way he wields the hoe is skillful, and the position is exquisite. If you don't look at the material of the hoe, you really have the temperament of an old farmer.
It seems that this humble Zhang Xiang did a lot of hard work when he was a child.
To be honest, this is the first time Yu Gan has seen someone dig the ground with a gold hoe.
When this piece of Ting Yu came up, Yu Gan was taken aback.
As for the young man, he was just pretending, not at all.
The housekeeper said apologetically, "My lords, please wait a moment. My master doesn't like to be disturbed when he goes to the ground. How about you wait?"
"Well, it's okay, we'll just wait for Zhang Xiang, there's no rush." Yu Gan nodded with a smile.
So, the four of them just stood here in such a daze, watching the contemporary prime minister working here.
After waiting for about two or three quarters of an hour, Zhang Tingyu straightened up, dropped the hoe casually, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his cloth clothes, and walked out with a vegetable basket.
"Master, these adults from Dali Temple have been waiting for a while." The butler went up to meet him and whispered.
Only then did Zhang Tingyu turn his gaze to Yu Gan's side, and casually threw the vegetable basket to the butler, with a warm smile on his face, "Wait a minute, I'll tidy up a bit.
Now this demeanor is not very good for meeting guests. "
Yu Gan bowed quickly and said, "Master Zhang please, I'll be fine if I wait a little longer."
Zhang Tingyu nodded, then the housekeeper waved lightly, and two of the dozen or so maidservants waiting over there walked over with their clothes in their hands.
Zhang Tingyu remained motionless, standing there with his hands spread out.The two maidservants helped him undress very familiarly, and then wiped his cheeks up and down with warm towels.
After wiping his body carefully, a servant girl helped him tidy up his hair, and finally put it together and tied it with a purple crown.
To help him shave his face, he didn't know what kind of special milk was used to smear his face.
Then they stretched out a white lining together and carefully put it on for him.Afterwards, they put on a total of three pieces one by one, all of which were extremely thin silkworm garments, and the outermost one was an extremely gorgeous purple garment.
Zhang Tingyu's temperament came out instantly after redressing. The unique temperament of a man who has been in a high position for many years is extremely conspicuous in the crowd.
At the same time, the scene on the other side directly shattered Yu Gan's extravagant view again.
It was the man who came out with Zhang Tingyu, his eyebrows looked like Zhang Tingyu, probably Zhang Tingyu's son.
He just stripped himself completely naked in broad daylight, and the remaining ten or so maidservants surrounded the crowd without revealing anything.
They gathered around and wiped the man's body at the same time.until it is wiped clean.
Then as soon as he helped him put his underwear on, the man said in a commanding tone, "I need to take a pee."
The movement of putting on clothes stopped immediately, and a maid squatted down holding a spittoon.The man released it unceremoniously, and a little bit of inaccuracy splashed on the maidservant.
When Gongsun Yan and Cui Caiyi said that to each other, they frowned slightly and turned their heads away.
Yu Gan also frowned, his feelings for this man dropped to the lowest point in an instant.
In fact, the ancient nobles had a perverted habit of using the mouth of a young woman as a spittoon, whether it was saliva or early morning excretion, they used this mouth.
At that time, when Yu Gan saw this custom, he was almost disgusted and couldn't eat. This kind of behavior of not treating people as human beings could not be accepted by him who was educated in the new era.
If you want to say that people in the circle are playing for fun, you can understand it. This kind of kind is purely not treating people as people.
Although this man's behavior is not so exaggerated, it is even considered normal in the eyes of some powerful people. He is simply asking the maid to help with the spittoon.
But it's a bit unreasonable to do it outside.
It's quite disrespectful to have guests around.
Before, I only heard that Zhang Tingyu's descendants were arrogant and extravagant. I didn't have any concept before, but now I understand it instantly.
Really not a son of man.
Yu Gan sighed in his heart, the girls at the bottom of the feudal society really didn't have any human rights at all, they were treated like objects, it was too inhuman.
Zhang Tingyu naturally also saw this scene, his expression was just as usual, he didn't say anything, he just said to Yu Gan and the others, "This is not a place for chatting, come along with me."
The four of Yu Gan nodded and followed without even looking at the man.Especially Gongsun Yan and Cui Caiyi, whose brows have not been loosened yet, are obviously very disgusted with that wandering man.
Zhang Tingyu just walked in front and didn't speak, so Yu Gan and the others naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say anything.Along the way, I quietly passed through those increasingly extravagant pavilions.
Finally, I came to a rare, fresh and elegant house, on which there was a plaque with the words "Xiao Zhai" written in a very simple way.
It looks like it should be Zhang Tingyu's study.
(End of this chapter)
Yu Gan thought about it for a while, and then said, "The first and most important thing is to find out the man who made Miao Cairen pregnant before entering the palace.
This man is very important, he may be the source of these things, and he has an account with His Majesty.
And to find out this man, one should follow the timeline.During the period from four months ago to a year ago, all the information about Miao Cairen was found out as much as possible.
The bead tires are secretly knotted, and such things will always leave clues.And focus on checking the family members of Miao talented women.Find out if her family knows about it.
If Miao Cai was sent to the palace knowing this matter, it is definitely not as simple as wanting to gain His Majesty's favor, there must be other purposes.
So Miao Cairen and her family have to check.Her background has to be sorted out again, and she needs to find out what her background is.
In addition, I think it is necessary to check Miao Cairen's going out of the city during this period. She came to Tai'an later, and lived with her father in Qingzhou.
So it is very likely that she will go back, and it may also happen in Qingzhou.
After that, pay attention to these points.First, why did she practice assassination, and second, who injected the poison and in what way.
The second is, is it possible that this Miao Cairen took the poison on his own initiative and let the poison strengthen his attack strength.The third is how the talented Miao girl entered the palace with the body of a willow.
Miao talented women entering the palace may have other deep-seated missions.Checking these things requires you to enter the palace frequently, this matter is really suitable for you.
In the end, the subordinate thought that there was no rush to tell His Majesty about this matter, and he would discuss it with His Majesty in detail when the truth came to light. What did Gu Lao think? "
"Well, the old man knows it well. Let me check the background line first, and then go to see Miao Cairen's uncle in the criminal prison." Gu Qingyuan nodded.
"Miao Cairen's family members are already in prison?" Yu Gan asked curiously.
"Assassination of the Son of Heaven is already a fact, it's tantamount to conspiracy, why not go to jail?" Gu Qingyuan replied, "As for Miao Cairen's father, he also sent someone to Qingzhou to arrest him, and he probably will be back in a few days."
"Okay." Yu Gan cupped his fists.
"You don't need to stay here anymore, hurry up and go." Gu Qingyuan waved his hand.
"Heard you two, hurry up and leave." Yu Qian ordered Lu Xing and the other two.
"Boss, give me a while, I'm almost finished reading this man." Lu Xing, who didn't know when he started to examine the body of the staff member, said without raising his head.
With black lines all over his head, Yu Gan said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour, hurry up."
Soon, Lu Xing finished the inspection, this time the speed was obviously much faster,
"What discovery?" Yu Gan asked, "You don't have any novel angles, do you?"
"No." Lu Xing shook his head, "It's consistent with what's on the file, and there's nothing else useful to discover."
Yu Gan nodded, "Okay, come with me, and get down to business."
After finishing speaking, Yu Gan turned his head to look at Gu Qingyuan and said, "Old Gu, we'll leave first, I still have to thank you for this matter."
Gu Qingyuan just waved his hands.
"Why are you standing there? Don't thank Mr. Gu? Without Mr. Gu, do you think you can get out of here?" Seeing that Lu Xing was still packing the boxes, Yu Gan couldn't help kicking him again.
Only then did the latter come to his senses, and hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, "Thank you for taking responsibility, Mr. Gu."
Later, Cui Caiyi quickly bowed and said something.
Only then did Yu Gan take the two of them away first.
As soon as he left the mourning hall, Yu Gan couldn't help kicking Lu Xing again, "The next time I find something unspeakable, I will swallow it up, especially when there are outsiders present. Do you understand?"
"Understood, boss, sorry, sorry." Lu Xing bared his teeth and said.
"I brought you out because of your cleverness. What happened to you just now? Can you just blurt out such a thing?
One day if this happens again, you will not be wronged if you are hacked to death. "Yu Gan stared at the other party and said again.
"Thank you boss for teaching me." Lu Xing smiled.
"This matter, you are rotten in my stomach, just pretend that you have never heard of it or seen it. No one can talk nonsense. Especially Caiyi, your family members are not allowed to mention this matter at all, you know?" Gan solemnly asked.
"Yes, boss." The two promised.
"Boss, who do you think is so bold to let our Majesty do this? If he is caught, he will not be able to kill everyone?" Lu Xing asked curiously in a low voice.
Seeing that Yu Gan was going to get mad again, he quickly added, "It's just the three of us, it's fine to talk behind closed doors."
"Shut up!" Yu Gan yelled, "Talk about this again, I will cut you off. Even if there is a match in the future, it is my business. Do you want to talk more?"
Lu Xing shrank his neck and stopped talking.
"Boss, where are we going next?" Cui Caiyi took the initiative to change the topic, "This is not the direction to leave the temple."
"Go to Minister Gongsun, and then go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together." Yu Gan replied, "You have to invite the big boss, we can't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion rashly to please.
Gu Lao can't get away now, so he can only call Minister Gongsun to go with him. "
"Boss, I really admire you, you have a lot of connections." Lu Xing started licking again.
Soon, Yu Gan brought the two of them to Dingbu's side.He was not in a hurry to go upstairs, but raised his arms and dangled below.
Wealth and honor do not return home, like brocade clothes walking at night.
Yu Gan showed off his new clothes at the bottom with the look of a villain.
Those members of the Ministry of Ding naturally knew about Yu Gan being transferred to Shaoqing's office. Yesterday it was only one leaf, but today there are three.
Everyone was speechless watching Yu Gan's catwalk there. There was no way he could be promoted quickly.
Many people felt guilty in their hearts.
Wasn't this forced to wait in the minister's house for a few days, how could he turn around and become the director of Shaoqing's department.I don't know what tricky things are being done in the minister's room.
I'm so envious.
Looking at these people, Yu Gan was very relieved and felt really good.
"Director Yu, congratulations." Du Hui, who was inside, came out first.
Yu Gan quickly restrained his arrogance, "Thank you, Minister Du."
"Don't call me that." Du Hui waved his hand, "We are on the same level now, but you are superior to me in terms of status. Just call me Lao Du."
"Minister Du was joking, I'd better call him Minister Du, and it's easy to say." Yu Gan said with a smile.
"Come on." Du Hui rolled his eyes, "I still don't know what you're thinking? Be quiet, don't irritate our young people.
When the time comes, you don't want to work, so you come over to do something? "
Yu Gan smiled awkwardly, put down his arm that was held high, wishing everyone could see it, "Listen to Minister Du."
"Work hard and have a bright future." Du Hui nodded with a smile, then turned and left, as if he was busy.
At this time, two little girls ran out of the room in a hurry.Gongsun Yue looked at Yu Gan with stars and moons all over her face, and said excitedly, "Yu Gan, you are here."
Yu Gan's face was serious, "Do you still want to come to my place? Call me Director Yu! There are no rules, how can I want you?"
Gongsunyue stuck out her tongue and said hopefully, "So, Director Yu, you are here to pick me up."
"What are you thinking about!" Yu Gan slammed his head on the other person's forehead, "I told Bai Shaoqing about you, and he agreed. When you go to report by yourself, someone will pick you up."
"Yeah, okay, I understand." Gongsunyue nodded happily happily.
"Is the minister up there?" Yu Gan asked.
"Here I am."
"I'll go up alone." Yu Gan looked at Lu Xing and said, "You two just wait downstairs. Let Xiaoyue receive you."
"Don't worry, wrap it on me." Gongsunyue said while patting her small chest.
Yu Gan seemed to have thought of something, this Gongsun Yue was too talkative and unreliable, he instructed, "Don't talk nonsense, if you let me know, you don't want to come to Huang Si, do you hear me?"
"Know it."
Only then did Yu Gan feel relieved and went upstairs directly.When he came to the door of Gongsun Yan's room, Yu Gan specially arranged his new clothes, and then pushed the door openly and walked in with arrogance.
Then, the scene was awkward for a few seconds.
Gongsun Yan was holding a small book in her hand and looking at it. Yu Gan, who was sharp-eyed, recognized at a glance that it was the book in which she wrote her aunt's secret.
Is it the way I opened it wrong?
Yu Gan was dumbfounded at the time.I knelt down directly.
I forgot to take it back, and I didn't dare to take the initiative to say that I would take it back.He was also thinking that this thing should have been thrown into the trash can by Gongsun Yan.
But are you still looking at it now?
Auntie, what are you doing.
Gongsunyan knew that Yu Gan would come to her to hand over the case, but obviously she didn't expect Yu Gan to come so suddenly, and then she realized what she was doing.
The old woman, whose mood was as stable as Mount Tai, suddenly panicked at this moment.
"roll!"
"Okay." Yu Gan didn't even think about it, he just withdrew and closed the door.
He gasped heavily, the aunt's sense of oppression was too strong, and his heart was trembling with fright.
Yu Gan who was standing at the door hesitated, scared and excited at the same time.Gongsun Yan is still reading her little notebook!
what does that mean?Has Auntie started to slowly embark on her own path of no return?
I can't help but be excited.
As we all know, Auntie's strategy is extremely difficult.
The unique maturity of an old woman, as well as a little hedgehog reaction, all indicate that it is a hard nut to crack.
Yu Gan really didn't expect that Auntie would like the tune of Xiaoben.If I knew it earlier, I would write more in-depth things at that time, so that my aunt would know her abilities better.
After Yu Gan was happy for a while, he was thinking whether to knock on the door again, because after all, there is business now, and the business is important.
But now I broke through another embarrassing scene of Gongsun Yan. If I got in, would the other party cut me off?
After all, the best way to break out of embarrassment is to cut off the insider, which is the safest way.
When he was hesitating, Gongsun Yan's cold voice came from inside the room, "Come in."
Unable to be entangled, he straightened up his usual mood, walked in with a relaxed mind, and just pretended that he didn't recognize his little book just now.
"I'm sorry Minister, I forgot to knock on the door when I came in, and disturbed the Minister's work." Yu Gan said apologetically as soon as he entered.
Seeing Yu Gan like this, Gongsun Yan's face softened.He really didn't seem to realize what he was looking at just now.
That's right, the time is so short, and it's a time when young people are proud of their spring breeze, so they shouldn't be so careful to find out what they were looking at just now.
Gongsun Yan's expression calmed down completely, "I won't knock on the door again. I'll let Bai Shaoqing teach you how to knock on the door."
"No, no more." Yu Gan smiled awkwardly.
Gongsun Yan completely relaxed, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at Yu Gan lazily, "The new clothes are changed quickly enough, should I change my mind in the future?
How about calling you Director Yu? "
"Minister, what are you talking about!" Yu Gan pretended not to be happy, and went directly behind Gongsun Yan, stretching out his hands to gently rub her fragrant shoulders.
"I only have one minister in my life, and that is you, Minister. No matter what happens to me in the future, I will always be Xiaoyu with you and will never change.
I have emphasized many times before that I am really willing to serve you, minister, for the rest of my life. "
For Yu Gan's flattery, Gongsunyan neither rejected nor praised, but just accepted it.He didn't stop the other party's kneading.
Because it's really comfortable.
She wanted to scream.
Every time Yu Gan massaged her, she wanted to cry out subconsciously.
This seemingly normal physical contact between the opposite sex is actually the most psychological test, especially for an old woman who has been lonely for many years.
May I ask before, which young man dared to massage Gongsun Yan so shamelessly and desperately?
Only Yu Gan, a wonderful flower, dared to do this.
Bold, brazen, and a scheming boy, he forcibly made Gongsun Yan feel comfortable and got used to it.
If you don't press it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
Gongsun Yan just closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage quietly. Seeing this, Yu Gan worked harder and harder on her aunt.
I look forward to being recognized by my aunt, holding my aunt's thigh well, and eating my aunt's soft rice.
After a full quarter of an hour, Gongsun Yan directly patted Yu Gan's sour arm away.
When you're done enjoying yourself, you ruthlessly withdraw.
Yu Gan obediently resigned himself to going around to the opposite of Gongsun Yan, and stood obediently.
"Anyway, I'd like to congratulate you first." Gongsun Yan said seriously, "After all, you came from Department D. I'm very satisfied that you can become the director of the Shaoqing Department so quickly and at such a young age. Proud too. Congratulations."
Yu Gan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly moved to the bottom of his heart. At this moment, the aunt was so warm and considerate, and he really wanted to hide in her majestic embrace.
"Thank you, Minister." Yu Gan thanked with emotion.
Gongsun Yan took the initiative and said, "I have also received His Majesty's orders. I will do my best to help you with these two cases. But after all, you are responsible for the main body, and naturally your opinions and ideas are the main ones.
I won't interfere, you can rest assured.You have absolute autonomy. "
"Well, yes, I will try my best." Yu Gan nodded.The process of handling cases in Dali Temple is like this. Whoever is in charge is guided by whose opinion and has absolute power.
Gongsun Yan suddenly hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You were assigned such a big case when you first joined the Huang Division. Logically speaking, it's impossible. Have you offended someone?
Have you had any conflicts with people from Prince Zhao's Mansion recently? "
Yu Gan was even more moved, not only Gu Qingyuan, but also Gongsun Yan's first question.It's about really caring about yourself.
He re-explained it with the same rhetoric he had given to Gu Qingyuan just now.
Only then did Gongsun Yan nod her head, "It's good that you don't provoke anyone. Your Majesty entrusts you with such a big case, so you should behave yourself."
"Well, I will, and I will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations." Yu Gan echoed.
"Where do you plan to start?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first." Yu Gan told Gongsun Yan his thoughts.
"So, this time you want me to accompany you to Xiangfu?" Gongsun Yan said with narrowed eyes.
Yu Gan said frankly, "Yes, although I am a director, I am not enough in Zhang Xiang's eyes. I am afraid that it is not easy to do things when I speak lightly, so I want to ask the minister to help you."
"Well, I'll go with you." Gongsun Yan nodded, "However, why don't you call me Mr. Gu. With Mr. Gu's prestige, he is more suitable than me."
"Mr. Gu is busy with Miao Cairen's case." Yu Gan said in a low voice.
Neither he nor Gu Qingyuan thought of hiding this matter from Gongsun Yan.After all, the matter is of great importance, and it may be closely related to the case. Gongsun Yan is absolutely qualified to know.
After hearing what Yu Gan had said about Miao Cairen, Gongsun Yan's face suddenly became heavy.
She has worked in Dali Temple for so many years, so she naturally knows the seriousness of this matter and what it means.A little carelessness in handling can lead to catastrophe.
"How many people know about this?" Gongsun Yan asked,
"Mr. Gu and I. There are also two people from Huang Si. I have ordered them both, and they are people who know how to measure and will not disclose it." Yu Gan added.
Gongsun Yan nodded her head slightly, and pondered, "At present, it seems that it is really most appropriate to leave this matter to Gu Lao. How about it, Gu Lao probably won't be able to get out of the family until the investigation is clear.
After that, I will accompany you all the way, so don't bother Mr. Gu. "
"Okay." Yu Gan nodded.
"I found out where did you go wrong? You were fine, but you abruptly found out these two things about Miao Cairen? There is something wrong with you." Gongsun Yan made a rare remark.
"I also found out that I really seem to be a bit unlucky." Yu Gan said with a smile.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's get down to business." Gongsun Yan stood up and said.
Yu Gan hurriedly followed.
Gongsunyue downstairs was chatting with Lu Xing and the other two, she didn't know what she was talking about, so when she saw Yu Gan coming down, she quickly shut up.
"Lu Xing, go to the stables and ask for a carriage, Ximen is waiting." Yu Gan ordered directly.
Lu Xing cupped his fists to accept the order, and quickly ran away.Gongsun Yan didn't write any ink, and went straight to Ximen.Yu Gan and Cui Caiyi followed closely.
As for Gongsunyue who wanted to join in the fun, Yu Gan didn't need to say anything, she was directly stopped by Gongsunyan.
Simon, the unicorn carriage.
Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan sat in the carriage. For the former, the days of driving in person are over, and there will be a special person in charge from now on.
Lu Xing and Cui Caiyi were sitting and driving outside, and they didn't chat. The former occasionally turned his head to look at Yu Gan, Gongsun Yanhe and Meimei in the carriage.
I'm so envious, I'm really envious.
Everyone is the same age, and Yu Gan can talk to the minister wherever he goes, and he is very familiar with him.I really want to be as chic as my own director.
Yu Gan who was sitting inside naturally didn't think about Lu Xing's thoughts, he was reading some silk books in his hand.
What is recorded on the silk book is the information of the staff member in the prime minister's mansion.
Staff has been around since ancient times, and many powerful and powerful houses will basically have some.
Most of the aides in the Xungui Mansion were literati who could not pass the exam, or people with bad luck, and some who didn't pass the exam but were good at making suggestions.
They usually teach the juniors in the mansion and give advice to the mansion. After all, they are scholars, so they are very useful no matter what.
But it's not so simple for staff at the level of Xiangfu. These people are really smart people. They are not only good at reading, but also easy to use their brains.
Most of the people who came to Xiangfu were those who failed the exam this time, but they were young, and they would take the exam in three years.
In the name of cherishing talents, Zhang Tingyu raised these people in the mansion, and they will always pass the exam next time or next time.Once he entered the officialdom, he was naturally labeled as a prime minister.
The same is true for some literati who are proficient in scheming. As the prime minister of a country, Zhang Tingyu must not be in every detail.Except for the usual help from those subordinate officials.
Many other things can only be solved by the people in the house.At Zhang Tingyu's level, there are many things, and there will be someone to help solve them properly.
Therefore, the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be ridiculed by other literati, but will flock to them.
There are not many people who can be regarded as staff by Zhang Tingyu.
This kind of staff culture has existed since ancient times, and the emperor knows about it, but he doesn't know how to do it, and he has never been in that position.
The person who died this time had an ordinary background, his surname was Liu and his name was Zisi, he was from Jiangnan, and he was a Juren.Two years ago, I came to Tai'an to rush for the exam, but I failed the exam.Afterwards, he handed over the self-recommendation document to the prime minister.
The custom of self-recommendation documents has been passed down for many years, especially for those who are like prime ministers, countless students submit documents to the prime minister's office every year, hoping to be in the prime minister's eyes.
This Liu Zisi was one of them, and because of his proficiency in writing, he was favored by Zhang Tingyu, and entered the prime minister's mansion as a writer.
Usually responsible for helping to deal with things ordered by Zhang Tingyu.Like this kind of writer, the Xiangfu didn't say a lot, maybe there were seven or eight people.
To say that this Liu Zisi is also a talent, although he failed the ranking, but his writing ability is really good, and Zhang Tingyu valued him very much.
Usually, many documents are written by this Liu Zisi.It can be regarded as one of Zhang Tingyu's core group members.
As we all know, whether it is ancient or modern, people with excellent official document skills are deeply loved by leaders.
This Liu Zisi is such a person, he usually works in the prime minister's mansion, prepares for the exam by the way, and waits for the next imperial examination.
This is also a necessary process for many staff members.Once you pass the exam in the future, you will be the prime minister for sure.
Looking at Liu Zisi's reciting, it's quite ordinary and there's nothing suspicious about it.
The only doubt may be that Zhang Tingyu took him to a ghost banquet?
This doubt is also far-fetched, because there were still some people who accompanied Zhang Tingyu to the ghost banquet that night, and Liu Zisi was valued, so it was not particularly strange to get a place.
For many things, you still have to ask Zhang Tingyu to get results.
After closing the silk book, Yu Gan pondered twice and asked, "Minister, what kind of person do you think this Prime Minister is?"
Gongsun Yan said lightly, "I'm not familiar with it, I haven't been in touch with it. But I have heard about it. This person lives in luxury and corruption, and it is said that he is greedy for ink.
But he is extremely capable, and all political affairs can be perfectly resolved in his hands.And he is hard-working, and often goes to the front line to watch things.
Many people hated him, hated him for plundering people's fat and people's anointing.Many people also support him, because he has indeed done a lot of things that benefit the people. "
"It's a mixture of good and bad, these two extremes appearing in one person is a bit powerful." Yu Gan nodded, and then asked, "Then what is His Majesty's attitude towards him?"
"I don't know." Gongsun Yan shook her head, "I only know that Zhang Xiang, whom His Majesty relies on for many things, has won His Majesty's trust."
"That picture is so blatantly extravagant and corrupt, why didn't His Majesty say anything?" Yu Gan continued to ask.
Gongsun Yan said, "I only know that memorials to impeach Prime Minister Zhang are flying all over the place, but His Majesty has never expressed his position."
"Envy." Yu Gan expressed his true feelings, he was really envious.
At the root of the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, such an extravagant and flamboyant style, but not toppled.This Zhang Xiang definitely has several brushes.
This kind of person who is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and evil is actually the most powerful, and it is difficult to see what he wants to do.
Gongsun Yan glanced at Yu Gan and said disdainfully, "Are you envious of his beautiful wife and concubine?"
Yu Gan was startled, and quickly waved his hands, "No, absolutely not. All I need is the Minister."
"Ok?"
"I mean, if we have a conflict with Zhang Xiang, who will His Majesty support?" Yu Gan quickly changed the subject and asked.
Gongsun Yan sneered, "I won't support you anyway."
"Understood." Yu Gan nodded, "I'll confess to Uncle Zhang later, and don't mess with him. I can't afford to mess with him."
"What are you going to do later?" Gongsun Yan asked with squinted eyes, "Or, do you think Zhang Xiangqian is responsible for the Gu in this staff member's body?"
Yu Gan shook his head, "I don't dare to speculate now. If I make a mistake and tarnish the name of Zhang Xiang, then I will be in trouble. I can only say that I will look at the specific situation later and investigate carefully."
"Where do you want to start?" Gongsun Yan continued to ask.
"Naturally, we should first go to the aide's residence to see if we can find anything useful, and then talk to Prime Minister Zhang. If nothing can be found, we can only ask someone to come over and thoroughly investigate the Prime Minister's residence.
The source of this Gu poison must be found out, Zhang Xiang will definitely understand. "
"Is it too late to check the residence of that staff member now?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"It's not too late." Yu Gan shook his head, "If I were Minister Zhang, I would protect the residence as soon as that person was arrested and wait for inspection.
Only by doing this will he reduce his suspicion. Zhang Xiang is so smart, he must understand such a simple truth. "
"Then what if nothing useful is found in that staff room?" Gongsun Yan continued to ask.
"Then he is clean, and the place where the Gu is not in the house." Yu Gan explained.
Gongsun Yan said softly, "Couldn't Mr. Zhang clean it up by himself?"
"Minister, you can't say that." Yu Gan quickly waved his hand, "We can't dirty Zhang Xiang. In my heart, Zhang Xiang is pure and pure.
Minister, if you say that again, I will have to stay away from you. "
Gongsun Yan has black lines all over her head.
Yu Gan continued, "Think about it, minister, if it's really Zhang Xiang who tricked his staff. How could he be so foolish as to be brought directly to the ghost banquet.
Isn't that courting death?Therefore, I am willing to believe in Zhang Xiang. With Zhang Xiang's wisdom, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing. "
Gongsun Yan was expressionless.She must understand such a simple truth.It's just that I can't get used to Yu Gan's face.
The typical one who has milk is a mother.
Fortunately, this kind of person is in Dali Temple. If he becomes an official, it will be a disaster for Daqi.
"Now the water is so muddy, and one after another the big bosses have been pulled down. Minister, we have to be careful. Don't fail to investigate the case and provoke a lot of enemies to Dali Temple. This is me I absolutely don't want to see it." Yu Gan finally said.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Gongsun Yan snorted coldly.
"Don't dare, dare not, it's all from the bottom of my heart." Yu Gan smiled dryly.
"Your Director Yu is in charge of the case, you have the final say." Gongsun Yan said lightly.
Yu Gan's eyelids twitched twice, he forgot to say anything, and finally had no choice but to shut up obediently.
Soon, the carriage came to the inner city.The prime minister's mansion is only one street away from Li Nianxiang's mansion.These empty, extremely spacious.
The huge Prime Minister's Mansion squatted in the bright place of the street like a giant.
The carriage stopped on the side, and Yu Gan looked up at the Prime Minister's mansion after getting out of the carriage.
What a shiny building! !
Different from the antique mansions of other ministers, this prime minister's mansion has one word, magnificent.
The wall is so high that you can't see the side at a glance, which is enough to see how big the prime minister's mansion occupies.The whole body of the outer wall is decorated with golden decoration.Only the wide gate is painted with scarlet.
The door is not a brass ring, but a gold ring.
The two pillars in front of the door are erected with a whole piece of golden nanmu.Two stone lions squatted outside the gate with gold beads in their mouths.
The entire mansion was empty without guards, Yu Gan nodded to Cui Caiyi, and the latter went forward to knock on the door.
Looking at the majestic Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Xing couldn't help feeling, "I've heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is like a palace in the world, but today it's really so."
"You still understand?" Yu Gan asked casually.
"I've heard about it a little bit." Lu Xing whispered, "I heard that in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sandalwood is only used for stepping, the East China Sea golden juice is used for rinsing, the delicacies are eaten from all over the world, and the clothes are worn by top tailors. Celestial silk is woven one by one."
"You know so well, he is your father?" Yu Gan teased.
"Boss, you can't talk nonsense, it's always bad to be heard." Lu Xing smiled nervously.
Soon, Cui Caiyi who knocked on the door got a response, and an old man in his early sixties who looked like a housekeeper came out.
Only then did Yu Gan come forward and bowed, "Gongsun Yan, head of the Ding Department of Dali Temple, and Yu Gan, director of the Huang Department of the Shaoqing Office, came to visit Prime Minister Zhang for a routine inquiry about the staff of your mansion."
The butler smiled, turned his body sideways, and said with a smile, "Sir, come in with the little old man, my master is in the side courtyard."
"Okay, thank you very much." Yu Gan did a good job of etiquette and showed great respect to the housekeeper.
The four of them walked into the mansion following the little old man.
The moment he stepped into the mansion, Yu Gan immediately felt like a bumpkin.
How can there be such an exquisite residence in the world?
Different from the vulgar golden color on the outside, the inside can be said to be extremely exquisite.Numerous exotic flowers and plants are blooming, and they have been meticulously built to fit the layout of the mansion.
The pavilions and pavilions are quite literati-style, and they look like exquisite places where scholars live.
Of course, the main thing is to pay attention to wood. When Yu Gan went to the wood workshop last time, he also knew some top-notch wood from Daqi.
The wood used in the whole building of this Xiangfu is called Xichuan Lingnan.As the name suggests, this wood is a specialty of Xichuan, a spiritual wood that will not rot for thousands of years.
The fragrance of wood can last for thousands of years, and smelling it has the effect of calming the mind and prolonging life.The price is extremely expensive, it can be said that it is equivalent to gold.
But in this Xiangfu, it can be seen everywhere.
Yu Gan had been to Prince Gong's Mansion before, and he thought He Shen's mansion was awesome enough, but comparing it now, it's nothing short of insignificant.
Yu Gan's whole body is numb, how much does this cost him?
In the Sanyuanfang where I live, it is estimated that the income of all staff for 20 years will not be enough to build this Xiangfu.
It's really awesome, I don't know how much money Zhang Tingyu has been greedy for these years, but he still stands in the court for many years after spending such an open and aboveboard.
Yu Gan decided that he must investigate the case obediently, and this relationship cannot be offended.
The housekeeper led the way for a long time, and there were seven or eight courtyards around. Yu Gan was dazzled by the surrounding courtyards of various styles.
Finally, the butler stopped in front of the so-called side courtyard.
It is said to be a side courtyard, but it is actually a large piece of land, which is full of plants, fruits and vegetables, and everything.
At the head of the field, there were two people, an old man in coarse linen, and a man in his early thirties who were also in linen, with more than a dozen maidservants standing beside them.
The old man's trouser legs were rolled up, and his hair was only passed through by simple wooden hairpins.
He was digging the vegetable field with a golden hoe in his hand.
The old man was a little fat, and he was the prime minister Zhang Tingyu that Gu Qingyuan introduced to Yu Gan during the Ghost Festival.
At this moment, the way he wields the hoe is skillful, and the position is exquisite. If you don't look at the material of the hoe, you really have the temperament of an old farmer.
It seems that this humble Zhang Xiang did a lot of hard work when he was a child.
To be honest, this is the first time Yu Gan has seen someone dig the ground with a gold hoe.
When this piece of Ting Yu came up, Yu Gan was taken aback.
As for the young man, he was just pretending, not at all.
The housekeeper said apologetically, "My lords, please wait a moment. My master doesn't like to be disturbed when he goes to the ground. How about you wait?"
"Well, it's okay, we'll just wait for Zhang Xiang, there's no rush." Yu Gan nodded with a smile.
So, the four of them just stood here in such a daze, watching the contemporary prime minister working here.
After waiting for about two or three quarters of an hour, Zhang Tingyu straightened up, dropped the hoe casually, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his cloth clothes, and walked out with a vegetable basket.
"Master, these adults from Dali Temple have been waiting for a while." The butler went up to meet him and whispered.
Only then did Zhang Tingyu turn his gaze to Yu Gan's side, and casually threw the vegetable basket to the butler, with a warm smile on his face, "Wait a minute, I'll tidy up a bit.
Now this demeanor is not very good for meeting guests. "
Yu Gan bowed quickly and said, "Master Zhang please, I'll be fine if I wait a little longer."
Zhang Tingyu nodded, then the housekeeper waved lightly, and two of the dozen or so maidservants waiting over there walked over with their clothes in their hands.
Zhang Tingyu remained motionless, standing there with his hands spread out.The two maidservants helped him undress very familiarly, and then wiped his cheeks up and down with warm towels.
After wiping his body carefully, a servant girl helped him tidy up his hair, and finally put it together and tied it with a purple crown.
To help him shave his face, he didn't know what kind of special milk was used to smear his face.
Then they stretched out a white lining together and carefully put it on for him.Afterwards, they put on a total of three pieces one by one, all of which were extremely thin silkworm garments, and the outermost one was an extremely gorgeous purple garment.
Zhang Tingyu's temperament came out instantly after redressing. The unique temperament of a man who has been in a high position for many years is extremely conspicuous in the crowd.
At the same time, the scene on the other side directly shattered Yu Gan's extravagant view again.
It was the man who came out with Zhang Tingyu, his eyebrows looked like Zhang Tingyu, probably Zhang Tingyu's son.
He just stripped himself completely naked in broad daylight, and the remaining ten or so maidservants surrounded the crowd without revealing anything.
They gathered around and wiped the man's body at the same time.until it is wiped clean.
Then as soon as he helped him put his underwear on, the man said in a commanding tone, "I need to take a pee."
The movement of putting on clothes stopped immediately, and a maid squatted down holding a spittoon.The man released it unceremoniously, and a little bit of inaccuracy splashed on the maidservant.
When Gongsun Yan and Cui Caiyi said that to each other, they frowned slightly and turned their heads away.
Yu Gan also frowned, his feelings for this man dropped to the lowest point in an instant.
In fact, the ancient nobles had a perverted habit of using the mouth of a young woman as a spittoon, whether it was saliva or early morning excretion, they used this mouth.
At that time, when Yu Gan saw this custom, he was almost disgusted and couldn't eat. This kind of behavior of not treating people as human beings could not be accepted by him who was educated in the new era.
If you want to say that people in the circle are playing for fun, you can understand it. This kind of kind is purely not treating people as people.
Although this man's behavior is not so exaggerated, it is even considered normal in the eyes of some powerful people. He is simply asking the maid to help with the spittoon.
But it's a bit unreasonable to do it outside.
It's quite disrespectful to have guests around.
Before, I only heard that Zhang Tingyu's descendants were arrogant and extravagant. I didn't have any concept before, but now I understand it instantly.
Really not a son of man.
Yu Gan sighed in his heart, the girls at the bottom of the feudal society really didn't have any human rights at all, they were treated like objects, it was too inhuman.
Zhang Tingyu naturally also saw this scene, his expression was just as usual, he didn't say anything, he just said to Yu Gan and the others, "This is not a place for chatting, come along with me."
The four of Yu Gan nodded and followed without even looking at the man.Especially Gongsun Yan and Cui Caiyi, whose brows have not been loosened yet, are obviously very disgusted with that wandering man.
Zhang Tingyu just walked in front and didn't speak, so Yu Gan and the others naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say anything.Along the way, I quietly passed through those increasingly extravagant pavilions.
Finally, I came to a rare, fresh and elegant house, on which there was a plaque with the words "Xiao Zhai" written in a very simple way.
It looks like it should be Zhang Tingyu's study.
