So I play chess

Chapter 108 Rice Grain
As the leader of the first imperial prince's second team of guards, "Master of the Driving Department" was originally a man of integrity.

Although he only had a rough idea of ​​what the prefect of Yicheng was going to do, it was a temporary replacement anyway. He originally thought that as long as he tried his best, he would not miss his job in such a short period of ten days or as long as more than a month. .

However, as soon as Liu Zhu left, he called together the people in charge of various ministries in the city, and after questioning him, his mind changed.

First of all, things are far more complicated than he thought. If he doesn't know it, he really doesn't know it. Even if he tries his best to learn from today, he may not be able to learn two or three points when he is handed over to the new prefect.

Secondly, he has been by the eldest prince's side for many years, and he has been in contact with some dignitaries who can shake the wind and rain.He was quite envious of the power they controlled and the manpower they mobilized.

Now, although he is temporarily serving as the prefect of a city when His Highness has no one else to choose, even though he is real and unknown, this "reality" allows him to enjoy the experience of a big man.

Besides, since Liu Zhu left with his great achievements and future, to be on the safe side, most of the people he brought with him went back to Lianzhou with Liu Zhu, and there were only less than ten people left, so Liu Zhu also specifically explained that , Jin Wan, the female inspector in Tongcheng, can be used.

This Jin Wan was young, and her figure was even more outstanding. She was already eye-catching in ordinary clothes, and she stood out especially among the shriveled or fat middle-aged men.

Liu Zhu will enjoy working with such peers.

The "Master of the Driving Department" thought so in his heart, so he didn't intend to ask other questions. First, he wanted to ask some matters about arresting thieves and daily security in Tongcheng.So in just half a day, Jin Wan was called twice, making the female inspector unbearably disturbed.

I'm afraid Tang Xianyao would never have imagined that within half a day, he had completely changed his mind on this man who was still under his command.

However, at this time, the prefect's aunt passed the news that she wanted to come to visit.

The reluctance of the boss of the "Master of the Driving Department" is that he knows the name of the prefect's aunt, but one is that this person is a member of the prefect's family after all, and the other is that the court did not take this woman too seriously.After he entered Tongcheng, he was not interested in asking too much.

Liu Zhu was over forty years old, and his aunt would be in her fifties and sixties anyway, so it probably wasn't easy to deal with.

So at this time, when Wen Gu, the [-]-year-old prefect aunt, sat in front of him and revealed her identity, the "Master of the Driving Department" immediately demonstrated what it means to be arrogant before and respectful afterward.

"Since they are relatives of the prefect, they are their own. Don't be polite to me."

The "Master of the Driving Department" invites you to sit down, and orders to watch tea, but he also behaves moderately, which is quite a bit of a gentleman.It's just that I don't want to treat each other as elders, let alone address them as peers, so I have no choice but to avoid even addressing them.

Wen Gu didn't make any deliberate appearance, just sat upright as usual, it's just that the "driver doctor" combined some of his own assumptions about her situation, and unexpectedly saw a somewhat helpless appearance out of thin air.

"Although the prefect is a little old, after all, he has been in a corner for a long time, and his knowledge is still shallow. In the future in Lianzhou, please take care of him."

Wen Gu said a few polite words, and the "Master of the Driving Department" smiled secretly in his heart. This little lady used her seniority to force her elders, but what she said had no weight, and she looked down on her even more in her heart.

"Why be so polite, this time I came to Tongcheng in a hurry, and the imperial court knows the credit of the prefect's aunt. When I go to Beijing in the future, I will definitely report to His Highness and complete the rewards that should be given."

Wen Gu nodded in response, and said: "Thank you, sir. We don't ask for anything else. We just want the prefect to have a smooth official career, do our best for Da Chu, and let the family have a shelter."

"Master of the driving department" responded with a few words, but the repeated words were not interesting. This little lady asked to see her at night, she should have something to do.But he was happy to have a few more gossips with her, so he was not in a hurry to ask.

Wen Gu was not in a hurry, and when he had finished speaking, he inquired: "The prefect hastily entered the capital this time, and we were not prepared for it. His mind was on business, and he even neglected many things in the government. You still have to rely on him, my lord knows how long it will take for him to settle down in this line of work?"

The "Master of the Driving Department" thought to himself, this is the purpose of asking. Sure enough, he was right. Liu Zhu's family members who stayed in Tongcheng were helpless at this time, and they were not at ease in their hearts, but they were not good with her. say something.

"I'm here in Tongcheng now, so I can't let the prefect's family members lose their care. There is no need to worry about the affairs in the capital. If there is anything in the mansion that has not been properly arranged, you can tell me directly."

Wen Gu insisted, "It's all trivial things in the house, I'm still quite worried..."

"Doctor of the Driving Department" pretended not to hear the second half of Wen Gu's sentence, and said, "Hey, how can it be a trivial matter? The prefect is fighting for the credit ahead, and the family should be more stable. You must tell me directly. To conceal it is to see outsiders.”

Wen Gu's voice was obviously quieter, as if there was no difficulty at all, he paused for a moment, and reluctantly said: "There is nothing else, it's just that there is no rice at home."

"Driving doctor" was taken aback, this prevarication was really ridiculous, if he said this, do you really want him to take care of food and drink?But after thinking about it again, isn't this just to treat him as one of his own?So he replied: "It's not difficult, I'll ask someone to buy some rice and send it over later."

Wen Gu seemed a little hesitant, but he thanked him after all, stopped talking about other gossip, and left directly.

After getting out of the government office and riding in a carriage for a long distance, Zhixia asked: "Miss, will this person take these trivial matters in the back house seriously?"

Wen Gu smiled and said: "I didn't think of this before, but recently I have understood a little bit. This doctor in the driving department looks different from his peers in the Wuzi team, but in fact they are all the same. The rice will definitely not be delivered. , but what I want him to do, needless to say, he will do it himself."

As Wen Gu said, her trip this time gave the "Driving Doctor" the illusion that she was relying on her.

This person who has just held the real power of a city wanted to look through the documents and files again, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to recruit people in, and while there was still some time before the curfew, he sent out under the pretext of observing the people's sentiments. I bought rice.

Seeing that the leader had an order, the subordinates hurried away, but they went fast and came back even faster.

It was almost night at this time, and it was really difficult for the "Master of the Driving Department" to invite Jin Wan to come to see him. He was drowsy in the pile of paperwork, and seeing that his subordinates came back soon, he quickly asked, "Have you bought it?"

But the subordinate replied: "Boss, there is no rice in the city."
