The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 27 Assigning Tasks
Next, Mu Xu, accompanied by several people, inspected the entire yamen's premises.

Except for a few parts that are completely unusable, most of them are just abandoned. After cleaning, they can barely be used.

Surprisingly, the Imperial Prison is actually the best preserved, even the instruments of torture inside are shining brightly, it is not obvious that this place has been abandoned for more than ten years.

Seeing Mu Xu's surprised expression, Zhao Dawei said proudly, "This subordinate has almost lived and boarded here all these years, and wipes these guys every day."

He said with a fascinated look, "I really miss the time when prisoners were held here."

Seeing his appearance, Yang An hurriedly took a few steps away from him, this guy must be a pervert.

Mu Xu didn't respond. After all, the information in his previous life was so advanced, and he hadn't seen any perverts on the Internet. Compared with those ogres, Zhao Dawei's hobby is nothing.

But he didn't bother to look at him like this, so he interrupted him directly, "Okay, when our embroidered clothes guard is back in operation, are you afraid that there will be no prisoners to interrogate?"

After speaking, he led people out of the imperial prison and told Yang An, "Go and find me Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, and tell them that I have something to do."

Yang An was surprised, "Your Majesty wants to meet them here?"

Mu Xu nodded, "Why not?"

Yang An quickly shook his head, "No, it's almost noon, my son, won't you go back home for dinner?"

Patting his forehead, Mu Xu raised his head to look at the autumn sun, and said with a smile, "I've forgotten the time, you go back to the house later, and tell grandma and mother that I'm in the yamen today Have a meal."

He continued, "After noon, you go and inform the two of them to come."

"But..." Seeing that he had to say more.Mu Xu interrupted him, not to be refused, and said,

"No, but you just do as I tell you."

Only then did Yang An reluctantly go.

Mu Xu took out another ingot of silver from his pocket and threw it to Li Ping, "Old Li, you are familiar with this neighborhood, you go to the restaurant to book a table and let them deliver it here."

Li Ping took the silver and refused, "Do you still have the silver ticket that my lord rewarded me earlier? How can I ask for your silver again."

Mu Xu said, "The reward is yours. I invite you to this meal today. Hurry up and have two more jars of wine."

After dismissing Li Ping, Mu Xu asked Zhang Cheng and Zhao Dawei, "Are there any suitable tables and chairs in the yamen?"

Zhao Dawei hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'll move it here."

Mu Xu called him, "The weather is nice today, so let's move to the porch of the front yard, and we'll eat there."

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Li Ping returned with three servants carrying food boxes and wine.

It can be seen that these young men are a little scared, and it is understandable after thinking about it. After all, this place is a frightening embroidery guard. It is normal for ordinary people to be afraid, even though it has been closed for a long time.

When they finished setting up the meal, Mu Xu rewarded them with a silver box and let them go with the food box.

Next, Mu Xu invited the three of them to sit with him.

The three declined and naturally sat down.At first they were still a little cautious, but after talking, the three of them let go, and talked to Mu Xu about the scenery of Xiuyiwei in the past.

During the dinner, through the conversation, Mu Xu also learned a little about the situation of several people.

Before Zhang Cheng entered the Embroidery Guards, he was a scholar. He tried several times for Juren, but failed.

Li Ping is an old fritter. His ancestors have joined the Embroidery Guard since Emperor Taizong established the Embroidery Guard, so he can be regarded as inheriting the family business.

As for Zhao Dawei, this guy's experience is quite legendary. He used to be a butcher, and later the county government in their hometown lacked an executioner. He was driven to the shelves and became an executioner again.

After offending the county captain, he couldn't stay in his hometown anymore, so he came to the capital to join his relatives. Later, when he heard that the embroidered guards were recruiting prisoners, he enlisted.Later, the hundred households in charge of the imperial prison knew that he had been a butcher, so they promoted him to be the school lieutenant in charge of torture.

Through the dialogue with the three people, and the understanding of the experience of the three people.Mu Xu also probably saw the temperament of several people.

Zhang Cheng has a calm temperament and a bit of a scholar's integrity.Li Ping has a naughty temper. As for Zhao Dawei not to mention it, this guy is indeed a pervert, and it is really suitable for him to torture to extract a confession.

After dinner, Mu Xu didn't let them follow, and went to check the files over the years by himself.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ping's voice came from outside the door, "My lord, the person you want to meet has arrived."

Stretching his waist, Mu Xu replied, "Understood, let them wait for me in the Jingzhong Hall."

Putting the copybook in his hand back to its original place, he came to Jingzhong Hall, not expecting that apart from Zhang Cheng, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, Xue Pan would also come.

Several people hurried forward to salute, Mu Xu motioned them not to be too polite, and asked the three of them to sit down with Zhang Chengcheng and talk.

"Do you know Zhang Chengcheng?" Seeing them nodding, he continued, "I have appointed Zhang as the embroidered clothes guard, and will be in charge of intelligence work in the future."

"Zhang Cheng, you are mainly responsible for summarization and analysis. Of course, you will continue to be responsible for the management of those documents, and recruit a few more documents. You can figure out how to handle them yourself."

"As for Ziying, you are in charge of collecting information. Zhang Cheng has a list of spies from all over the place. The two of you discuss it."

"I only have one request. Within a month, I want you to fully roll out the intelligence network."

Zhang Cheng and Feng Ziying glanced at each other and got up together to take orders.

Mu Xu looked at Jia Lian and Xue Pan again, and said, "Xue Pan, you must have agreed to my terms for coming with Brother Jia Shi."

Without waiting for Xue Pan to reply, Jia Lian said first, "My lord, since I have joined the Embroidered Clothes Guard now, my lord can just call me by my name."

Mu Xu nodded, thinking that Jia Lian was indeed a sensible person.

Mu Xu nodded.Just then Jia Lian sat down and pulled Xue Pan who was still stunned.

Only then did Xue Pan come to his senses, and hurriedly got up, and Mu Xu asked him to sit down and answer.

He just sat down and replied, "Yesterday, the second brother Lian passed the words of the son to my family. After discussing with my mother and sister, I decided to agree to the son, but I don't know..."

Seeing him hesitate, Mu Xu said directly, "What doubts do you have, just ask me?"

Only then did Xue Pan squirm and said, "I don't know if it's true or not that your son will give me an official status? I'm willing to give one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Hearing what he said, everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide. It wasn't that they were frightened by the hundred thousand taels of silver, but that they didn't expect this guy to be so dumb. Didn't they all talk about this kind of thing in private?

Mu Xu almost spit out the tea in his mouth, choking him so much that he coughed directly.

Seeing Mu Xu like this, Xue Pan was also a little silly. He asked Jia Lian next to him, "Second Brother Lian, but what did I say wrong?"

Jia Lian almost vomited blood directly, and complained in his heart, calling you the overlord is really not wronged at all.Looking at Feng Ziying's and Zhang Cheng's strange eyes, he didn't know how to answer, so he heard Mu Xu speak.

"Okay, you didn't say anything wrong." Mu Xu didn't laugh. After all, he was familiar with everyone in his previous life and spoke directly. It's just that he has been in this world for a long time, and he is used to the ancient way of speaking. I was shocked directly, so he adapted the fastest.

He quite liked Xue Pan's style of speaking, so he didn't mince words with him, and said directly, "I wanted to borrow your Xue family's business route, so I shouldn't take your money."

Hearing what he said, Xue Pan thought that Mu Xu didn't want to give him an official position, so he interrupted him quickly, "You are welcome, my son, I will give the money willingly, yes, it is a certificate of honor."

Seeing him say that joining the Embroidery Guards was the same as joining the bandit den, several people couldn't help laughing.

Mu Xu had read the original book and knew that he was a fool, so he stopped talking and said directly, "Okay, then I will thank you for your donation on behalf of the Son of Heaven and the Embroidered Clothes Guard."

"Well," he pondered for a while, "I will appoint you to be a regular six-rank hundred household first, and follow Jia Lian first."

When Xue Pan heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. It was Jia Lian who reminded him before he realized it, and hurriedly knelt down to salute Mu Xu.

Mu Xu asked him to get up, and then said to Jia Lian, "You will be in charge of our embroidered clothing business in the future. After all, everything depends on a word of money. It will be more convenient for you to let Xue Pan follow you."

Jia Lian took the order, and he was quite satisfied with this task. After all, if he did a good job, he would have mastered the source of income for Embroidered Clothes Guards. Moreover, it might not be beneficial to cooperate with more merchants in the future.

Naturally, Mu Xu couldn't fail to think of this, and planned to beat him up if he had the opportunity. It's fine to take advantage, but not too much.
