So I play chess

Chapter 181

The prefect's aunt stood in the hall until the boy came to report that Mr. Sun had gone out, and she finally relaxed and sat back. At the same time, she put away her gentle appearance and sighed inaudibly. tone.

Of course Tang Mingyi noticed: "Master Sun doesn't look like an ordinary rich man, but he acts a little crazy."

"It's not just him who is crazy." Wen Gu no longer insisted on it, but shook his head helplessly, "Now Tongcheng, the prefect is in charge of it strictly. These people can't take advantage of it, so they all want to take advantage of me."

Tang Mingyi knew very well that the private affairs of many courtiers in Dachu were exactly the same as those of the gentlemen in Tongcheng, so he felt a little emotional: "I can't learn it well, but they are familiar with it."

Wen Gu said casually, "I heard you mention the incident you encountered when you came to the city. In fact, I have nothing to do."

Taking advantage of playing chess these few days, Tang Mingyi did mention this matter, but at that time the prefect's aunt still maintained a strong posture, and she just bypassed the topic and didn't go into details with him.

But now that they faced Master Sun together, the two of them seemed to be getting closer, and they were finally able to tell the truth.

"The public inspection was originally the best thing. They came to me, and I fought for it, but these people are deeply entrenched in Tongcheng. For the sake of stability in the city, they have to make such a concession temporarily."

"Could it be that all the big families in Tongcheng are like this Master Sun?" Tang Mingyi felt unhappy, so he took advantage of the situation to ask.

Wen Gu replied truthfully: "Not really. Everyone else has their own tricks, but they are not as ruthless as him."

In this way, Tang Mingyi naturally became interested in Master Sun's background and current business, so Wen Gu basically told him the truth, but only explained what was inside and what was inside.In the deepest part, it was difficult for her to explain how to know it, and in Tang Mingyi's opinion, the communication channels that she absolutely could not tolerate were hidden.

After listening to Wen Gu's narration, Tang Mingyi already understood that this kind of person is a disaster wherever he is placed, and he will get rid of it sooner or later.Then he asked half directly and half tentatively: "What kind of attitude does the eldest lady have towards them? I have a plan in mind about this matter."

"The overall situation is the most important thing, bear with it for a while, but we can't let them go on like this for a long time. The prefect has things to do, and I have things I want to do. No matter whether Tongcheng can be stable or not, there are some people and things that must be done." Take care of it." Wen Gu said seriously.

"Good!" Tang Mingyi gave a heartfelt praise.

Just now, after listening to the conversation between this little lady and Master Sun, Tang Mingyi changed his opinion of her somewhat.

Although the prefect's aunt has some means and some ideas, but after all, at this age, the things she has seen are naturally limited.

Judging from the fact that she is "difficult to shine in the rain" and the talents who have been drawn out after the high school entrance examination, she is definitely not a person who is willing to settle down in the back room, and there are rules in what she does, but it is a pity that she is limited and has no follow-up.

Even so, for a young lady in her teens, being able to do this is already remarkable. As long as someone gives her a little advice and shows her to the world, she must be a malleable talent with a bright future.

Even if she can't become a figure of Feng Xian'er's status in the future, it must be no problem to be a maid or something.

At first Tang Mingyi had a murderous intention towards her, because he didn't know all about her, let alone whether there was anyone else behind her.

If Wen Gu had any deep plans, he might still be a little wary, but at the current level of "acceptable", he has developed such a heart of cherishing talents.

The only thing that hasn't been clarified yet is that her thoughts and schemes didn't come out of nowhere, and how they came about is still unknown for the time being.

But this does not affect the overall situation. The second prince led the eldest lady of the Liangzhou Army to briefly talk about some issues related to the situation in Tongcheng and Nanchu in the form of asking questions between the guests and the host.

The more I talked with Tang Mingyi, the more I felt that it was a pity. This little lady's ideas were all very good, but they were just a glimpse into the way, so I felt more and more that I knew people very well, and I wished I could immediately reveal my identity to help her answer questions. , leading her to go further.

However, Wen Gu also showed some anxiety from the inside out, and Tang Mingyi saw it, so he simply changed the subject.

"Since that's the case, I will know how to do this errand." Tang Mingyi said with confidence.

Wen Gu suddenly felt a little annoyed at him: "Having said so much, there is one more thing I want to say."

"Miss, please tell me." Tang Mingyi said sincerely.

Wen Gu also said directly: "Mr. Tang has a clear view of the situation, why can't Master Sun see what is going on? Just now I asked you to help me evade it, but you took it happily. There was still room for maneuver. What can I do now?"

Tang Mingyi had no choice but to pretend to be stupid: "When I saw the situation just now, I only thought about the current problem, and I thought it was the eldest lady who wanted me to do it, so I followed up. I figured it out just now, I was stupid for a while."

"That's all. This is the end of the matter, and it's just time for me to see Mr. Tang's ability to handle affairs." Wen Gu continued with a helpless look, "I'll ask someone to go with you to the government office and clarify the matter with the prefect. Let's do it."

Tang Mingyi responded, and at the same time, he had an idea to discuss with Wen Gu, but he didn't want her to speak first: "After all, this trip is to face bandits. If Mr. Tang wants to employ people, it's better to use familiar ones."

After Wen Gu finished speaking, he directly told Zhixia: "Go and call all Mr. Tang's original entourage, and wait in the outer courtyard. Those outside the mansion also send people to call, let them go directly to the inspection department."

Tang Mingyi wanted to say exactly this, and Wen Gu also thought of this at the same time, and he felt even more satisfied in his heart, so he thanked him directly without saying anything else.

The matter had been properly arranged, so Tang Mingyi bid farewell, and Wen Gu told him "be careful", and let him go.

It was not troublesome to gather people. When Tang Mingyi arrived in the outer court hall, the three nurses and the two who had written their lives and expressed their views on the situation many times in the hut were already waiting. him.

Several people went to the government office together, but of course Liu Zhu was not there, and the chief bookkeeper Li Mao sent someone to ask the prefect for instructions, saying "the prefect will definitely deal with it like this", and settled the matter out of righteous indignation.

When they arrived at Jin Wan's inspection department later, Liu Zhu's intentions followed, and everyone counted their troops immediately. In addition to about twenty patrol soldiers, there was also a battalion of five hundred city guards at their disposal.

The only downside was that one of Hua Ji's guards got drunk and Tang Mingyi saw that he was really difficult to handle, so he left him in the city.

The rest of them set off to the location provided by Master Sun outside the city.
