After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 139

Lu Daxiong roughly browsed through the booklet of the signing room, and then called Liu Erzhuang to him.

"It's a gloomy day, you go to each room to inform, stay at the yamen to eat at noon, don't go back."

"Yes, my lord."

Liu Erzhuang always called him "Master" in the inspection department, and he didn't want to make trouble for him.

"Go to the bun shop at the entrance of Wangpo Alley and order three drawers of buns, and let him deliver them later."

"okay."

After Lu Daxiong finished speaking, he took out a sling of money from a small box at the side: "This is the fixed money, and the rest of the money will be paid to him after it is delivered."

"I'm going right now."

It was almost noon, but because the sky was overcast, I couldn't see anything clearly without lighting the lights in the house.

Liu Erzhuang's legs were quite fast, he went to each room to pass the word, and then went to order the buns, and then the other idle brothers went directly to a side hall behind the yamen.

There were a few tables and benches there, and they originally planned to build a dining hall there, but unfortunately they didn't have enough funds and couldn't afford to hire a cook, so they put it on hold for the time being.

There are four signings a day in the signing room, which is also to prevent people from being lazy.

So there is no need to go around chasing people to communicate, as long as people come back, they will naturally get the news in the signing room.

"Yo, I hear what you mean, sir at noon treats us to eat steamed stuffed buns?"

"Well, there are not only meat buns, but also hot noodle soup."

There is a noodle restaurant across from their yamen, Lu Daxiong also told there, and he will cook the noodles and send them over later.

There are not many people in their inspection department, plus Liu Erzhuang and the uncle of the gatekeeper, that is, there are more than thirty people.

This is a big business for a noodle shop, six bowls of noodles can be produced from one pot of noodles, and the successive pots of noodles are all for the inspection department.

As soon as the noodles were delivered, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a bit more than usual.

Lu Daxiong only knew what he knew, so he called everyone to eat quickly.

Two meat buns per person, plus a bowl of noodles, an ordinary man must be full after eating these.

But Lu Daxiong has a big appetite. He ate four meat buns in a row and added a bowl of noodles with eggs in it, so he was full.

The steamed stuffed bun money has been settled, but the noodle money has not yet been settled.

Lu Daxiong asked Liu Erzhuang to clean up all these dishes, and then prepared to send them to the other party.

Liu Erzhuang didn't understand, so he said, "My lord, since it's so close to the ground, why don't we just go to the opposite side to eat?"

How troublesome it is to send it back and forth!

Lu Daxiong said in a low voice: "The noodle shop is not very big, there are four tables in total, so many of us have passed by, how can he greet other guests?"

Liu Erzhuang suddenly realized, so the lord is still taking care of the opposite side's business.

Sure enough, as soon as the two went to the noodle shop, they saw that there were people on the three tables. If a large group of them came over, they really couldn't let the boss take business anymore.

Lu Daxiong paid some money and didn't rush to go back, but wandered casually on the street.

After a while, the housekeeper of the mayor's house came over.

"Is something wrong?"

"My lord, the mayor said that we will invite you to a banquet at home in the evening, so we can discuss things."

The butler also knew Lu Xunjian's temper, so he tried to speak concisely and clearly.

Lu Daxiong frowned: "Why do we have to discuss at night?"

The butler hesitated for a moment and said, "This, the villain doesn't know either."

"Where is the mayor now?"

"Master is at home."

"Well, let's go. I'll go with you now. If you have to explain it clearly in advance, why do you need to make the mayor spend money?"

The butler was dumbfounded this time.

This operation is wrong!

If you go now, what about your plans for the night?
Finished!

The housekeeper slapped his forehead, and trotted to catch up with inspector Lu in front of him.

The mayor didn't expect that he originally planned to invite someone over for a few drinks at night, but now he came directly to the door.

Well, let's test his tone first.

The mayor's wife is surnamed Fan, who is the younger sister of Fan Juren in the county, and her family background is naturally not bad.

It's just that when she married the mayor back then, her elder brother was not yet a Juren, and the family was just doing some small business to make ends meet. It wasn't until Fan Juren was in high school that life at home became easier.

In a flash, it has been more than ten years.

Today, Fan Juren has gained a firm foothold in the county. Not only some country gentry will defect to him, but some merchants also take the initiative to seek his protection with their properties, so he doesn't need to do anything. Not old or young.

In terms of fields alone, Fan Juren himself has more than 200 mu.

The mayor's wife has also been respected everywhere because of her brother these years, so her spirits are inevitably high.

"This is Inspector Lu! I often hear the master talking about it, but now that I see a real person, I know that the master has never exaggerated."

Lu Daxiong stood up and saluted with fists, and was then greeted by the mayor to sit down.

"I don't know why the mayor is looking for me to discuss something?"

The mayor choked, unable to speak directly, so he turned a corner and said, "I heard that the wife of Inspector Lu is from the south?"

"Exactly, my wife is from the Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River, and his brother is also studying in the capital now, and he wants to try his hand at the exam."

This is to tell them that Chen Xingyan's brother is Juren.

In fact, the mayor and the Fan family already knew about these things. After all, Lu Daxiong's marriage was well known at that time.

It's just that the mayor didn't know that Lu Daxiong would have today, so he never thought of coming to congratulate him.

Unexpectedly, the person who witnessed the marriage that day turned out to be the county magistrate.

It was also from then on that the mayor had the intention to make friends with him.

"It's like this. I have a niece in my family who has been living in the county. She was helped by inspector Lu before, so she was saved from the predicament. She was grateful in her heart, but she didn't know how to repay her. Then she came to my mansion and wanted to face you. thank."

At this time, Fan didn't think that Lu Daxiong was so proud, and he didn't think that the wife he married was from a famous family.

After all, even if a girl married far away has a good background, the distant water cannot save the near fire.

Moreover, it is said that Lu Xunjian's wife had already lived in his house before she got married. To put it mildly, she has lost her memory, and to put it harshly, she is an adulterer without a matchmaker and does not obey women's morals!

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Fan looked down on Chen Xingyan.

If it is a woman from a good family, how can she stay in a man's family for a long time without any reason?

Lu Daxiong didn't know what was going on in her mind, so he just said indifferently: "Madam, you're being polite, but it's just a small effort, and it's our duty as a member of the inspection department, so there is no need to thank you. If there is nothing wrong, then Lu will leave."

Fan was in a hurry: "Inspector Lu, sit down for a while. I have sent someone to call. My niece just wants to thank her. It is better for Inspector Lu to refuse."
