Jinyi champion

Chapter 835
Yongping Mansion, the magistrate's yamen.

Mrs. Qiao came to visit this afternoon. The purpose was actually to inquire about specific matters related to mining, because the magistrate’s office had clearly informed the local big households that the mines managed by Jin Yiwei would not be used for dividends for the time being. Make a fuss about mining.

No one wants to scatter money to a hopeless new mine. Even though the prefect’s yamen didn’t let the big local households pay money, but the manpower to support the mine needs salary support. Who knows if it’s a bottomless pit?

Mrs. Qiao did not see Lou Suzhen for a long time.

"Mr. Mi has been in a hurry for the past two days. It's not that I'm prevaricating on purpose. If you want to see him, you might as well come back in two days. I have a few cases to deal with, and I don't have time to deal with them."

When Mou Dazhi entered the guest house of the government office, he saw that Mrs. Qiao was still waiting in the yard, so he couldn't help going over with a straight face to remind him.

Mrs. Qiao said: "Then...can I enter the inner courtyard to meet the magistrate?"

Mou Dazhi sneered: "Are you dreaming? I haven't seen Fu Zun himself recently, so Fu Zun doesn't say anything now."

Mrs. Qiao immediately became nervous when she heard this: "It was Mr. Mi who asked me to summon the local gentry, why is there no one to contact me now? Mrs. Mou, if you can pass the news on my behalf, I will be very grateful .”

Now it was Mrs. Joe's turn to get nervous.

Luo An was reminding Lou Suzhen that the people in the yamen don't know Zhu San's identity, at most they think she is a little lunatic who wants to see the magistrate, whether it is to avenge justice or to satisfy curiosity.

Mou Dazhi said: "Now the backyard of the government office is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach it. It can't be...that Zhu Zhifu is not in the government office at all, right? He said he was recuperating, and he didn't see the doctor coming in or out..."

……

Lou Suzhen said: "I've seen Luo Zhenfu envoy, but I don't know where the little noble lord is?"

After all, Mrs. Qiao still did not see Lou Suzhen, and finally left unhappy.

Lou Suzhen asked: "Then... can I go to meet the young master today?"

Leaving my aunt in the inn for a few days, is this the way of hospitality?
After meeting her, she found a strange person standing there, looking at her with a smile, which made her vigilant.

……

It is very troublesome to protect it secretly without being known to others.

He didn't expect that Lou Suzhen would take the initiative to meet Zhu San, and after a little hesitation, he said, "If Mister goes to see him, I'm afraid it will reveal the secret protection of Jin Yiwei, I'm afraid..."

When Zhu Sanyi heard that Lou Suzhen was about to take her into the magistrate's office, he probably felt that the person in front of him would not lie to him.

"Hmph! You want to control me?"

Lou Suzhen said: "The prefect of Zhu sent me down, can you talk upstairs, my lord?"

"You little girl, you are really ignorant, but who will let me obey the orders of the Fuzun? Okay, let someone go in and pass it on to you. Whether anyone will come out to see you, I can't say for sure!"

Lou Suzhen casually took out a piece of broken silver and threw it over. The waiter in the shop saw that the official was generous, and he didn't reward the official with a copper coin, but threw the silver directly.

Recently, Jiang Shantong is in charge of summer grain collection, and Mou Dazhi works in the government office because he is in charge of punishment. Jiang Shantong has just returned from a tour of the prefectures and counties, and he doesn't know what's going on in the city.

……

The two went upstairs together and entered the room.

Jiang Shantong frowned: "This new magistrate has been secretive since he arrived in the place. He should have met with local officials and gentry a long time ago, but he hasn't arranged yet... What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?"

When Luo An came to Yongping Mansion, apart from following orders from Zhang Zuo, sending messages to Zhu Hao, and cooperating with Zhu Hao in handling affairs in Yongping Mansion, another purpose was to protect Zhu San and bring Zhu San back to the capital safe and sound.

She broke up with Yue Ting'an earlier and hoped that she would act as the mouthpiece of the government office to gain status. If this matter is not handled well, then she and the Qiao family behind her may not be able to get along in Yongping Mansion.

As the eldest princess, Zhu San is not yet married, and now she lives in an inn, so it is difficult to do some security work even if she goes out for a walk. Fortunately, the local security in Yongping Prefecture is not bad, and there is no danger, but this also makes the invisibility dark The Jin Yiwei at the office complained endlessly.

……

But every time I go there, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.

Now that Zhu San wanted to see Zhu Hao, but he didn't achieve his goal, and he didn't plan to return for the time being, so Luo An didn't dare to meet him casually, and now he was also very embarrassed.

It has been five days since Zhu San arrived in Yongping Fucheng. The day before Lou Suzhen left Yongping Mansion to find Zhu Hao in the mine, Zhu San arrived in Fucheng.

Zhu San stared wide-eyed, so Zhu Hao isn't in the city?That's why you don't see me?
Why does this sound unbelievable?
Lou Suzhen told the truth: "Prefect Zhu has been staying in the mine all the time to deal with the affairs of the mine. The princess probably came along the official road, so she didn't visit the mine?"

"Temporarily staying in the inn."

Jiang Shan scolded: "Things that don't open your eyes, it's dark today, am I making trouble for myself by visiting a doctor? If I want to see you, I will wait until tomorrow. You go and invite the imperial doctor surnamed Wu to have a look together." , I really don’t know what’s going on, the second son of the Yang family hasn’t heard from me recently, and we haven’t seen any money coming in for some days, it’s really..."

She was also annoyed in her heart, I don't even know where the mine is, it's not easy to find out all the way to Fucheng along the official road, and she asked me why I didn't go to the mine to find him?

When Zhu San heard it, he thought it was Zhu Hao who came.

But it was Zhu San.

Luo An said, "This afternoon, the young master has been to the government office, but she still hasn't been allowed in... The office staff watched her from afar and warned her that if she goes again, the next time the office staff may be disrespectful The move... Mister should have made arrangements earlier."

"Meet Mr. Mi."

Zhu San was very angry.

"I……"

Luo An was taken aback.

As a staff member next to the prefect, you should make arrangements early after you go back.

After closing the door, Zhu San pouted and asked, "Why didn't he come? You should know my identity, right? I've been here for several days, and the government office doesn't even have a receptionist. What does he mean? I don't want to see you." , also tell me, as if someone is rare for him."

Zhu San was about to take a rest, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the waiter's voice came: "This guest officer, a guest came downstairs and asked to see you by name, saying that he was an old friend of yours. come..."

Lou Suzhen was very helpless.

"Reassurance Luo Zhen, I know what to do."

Zhu San originally went directly to the government office to look for Zhu Hao, how could the doorkeeper just let a half-year-old boy go to see the magistrate casually, even if he swung his stick to chase him away, Zhu San had no choice but to find an inn to stay, and just stayed there. For four days, she has been protected by Jinyiwei all the time, but she doesn't know it.

Zhu San nodded, still very angry in his heart.

Inside the inn.

The waiter said: "This official, I have been invited here for you."

Zhu San immediately became nervous: "Does it mean that they have recognized me? Hurry... tell them, you can't report..."

Mou Dazhi said: "Why don't you...Jiang Tongzhi, go ask for an interview and see if you can see Fu Zun in person? In the name of visiting the sick, it should be okay?"

……

"...You mean, even the staff member surnamed Mi is not around recently? The Fu Zun has been avoiding people all the time?" Jiang Shantong frowned after hearing the news.

This little princess looks unruly and self-willed at first sight, but she has heard about Zhu San's personality for a long time. The Xing Palace has always raised Zhu San as a boy, and often let Zhu San deliberately imitate the boy's character and tone of voice, for a long time. After coming down, there will naturally be a man's unique vigor in speaking and acting.

Lou Suzhen sighed: "Some things are very difficult to hide, but the prefect Zhu can only try his best to hide it for the princess, but if the princess is still living in the inn, it is inappropriate, and she should go to the government office with me."

Fortunately, before the city gates closed that night, Lou Suzhen finally entered the city in a hurry, but after returning to the city, she didn't care to meet Mrs. Qiao or the officials below, but went to meet a visitor from the capital first.

"He... is really not in the city?"

Zhu Hao didn't come by himself, but sent someone over, and it seemed that he was avoiding her.

After dark, Mou Dazhi went to Jiang Shantong's residence.

At this time Zhu Hao and Lou Suzhen were not in Fucheng.

After Luo An saw Lou Suzhen, he bowed and saluted.

Lou Suzhen cleverly avoided the matter that Jin Yiwei secretly followed and protected Zhu San early in the morning.

"Um!?"

Lou Suzhen said: "Your Highness, you set off from the capital to Yongping Mansion, but you haven't obtained permission from the Queen Mother and Your Majesty?"

Then excitedly opened the door, followed the waiter downstairs, intending to reprimand Zhu Hao.

It's fine if you don't see me, but the people you sent still want to teach me a lesson?
Lou Suzhen said: "Let's put it this way, the prefect Zhu is not in the city now."

She also knew to some extent what Zhu Hao was doing recently. Since Zhu Hao was appointed by Zhu Fourth Committee as the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, he should not stay in the city, and it was reasonable to go to the mine.

Zhu Hao said that he wanted Luo An and Lou Suzhen to go together, but Luo An had something on his mind, so he couldn't join Lou Suzhen, who was riding slowly in the carriage, and galloped on the horse, arriving a full two days earlier than Lou Suzhen.

Lou Suzhen was very confident.

……

Zhu San was speechless for a while.

Now even if Zhu San knew that there was Jin Yiwei by her side, it could also be explained that the people around Zhu Hao recognized her and rushed to protect her after hearing the news.

Mou Dazhi looked at Mrs. Qiao with a wicked smile on his face, as if to say, I will help you this time, and you will return to me later.

Does that mean I'm out of my mind?
Lou Suzhen said: "Zhu Zhifu actually didn't know about the princess's coming to Yongping Mansion. The princess went to the mansion several times, and the yamen officer was alert and informed the inner hall. Fortunately, someone from Xingwang's mansion knew the princess in the inner hall. Knowing that the princess is actually here..."

"Ah."

Lou Suzhen nodded, "After the princess came down to the government office, it is not appropriate to publicize this matter to the outside world. The princess should know that Zhu Zhifu was sent to Yongping Mansion by the Ministry of Officials. He claimed to be sick and kept his door behind closed doors. In fact, he had already left the city. If people notice it, others will suspect who he is working for, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to His Majesty's plan."

Zhu Sandao: "I understand this. I didn't come here to harm him. On the contrary, I can help him. Then tomorrow, you take me to the mine, so it should be okay?"

Lou Suzhen said: "Princess, you should go to the government office to rest first. In the next few days, Zhu Zhifu will return to the city, and you will naturally be able to see him then!"
