Dressed as the favorite of the villain tyrant

Chapter 228
Everyone was ready to continue their journey the next morning.

After several twists and turns, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Hearing that the capital sent two adults to escort the food and pay, the local parent officer Liao Wenzhong immediately came to greet him with all the people in the mansion.

Yun Yuefeng and Xiaoyun did not get off the carriage, but Hua Xiangying and Ming Guize went to negotiate.

Liao Wenzhong hurried forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Hearing that Beijing has sent two adults, Xiaguan is really relieved. The disaster situation in this town can finally be alleviated. It is really timely! But, Xiaguan dare not know What are the two adults called?"

At this time, it is naturally not suitable for Ming Guize to come from the newspaper family, so this task is naturally entrusted to Hua Xiangying beside him.

So Hua Xiangying took the lead in reporting herself.

"Flower photo, this is His Royal Highness the Regent."

Hua Xiangying's introduction was very brief, but upon hearing her words, Liao Wenzhong's pupils suddenly shrank!
But soon, he realized his gaffe, and said hastily: "So it's His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and General Hua! This officer is too blind to recognize Mount Tai, so he didn't recognize the two adults!"

"It's none of your business." Ming Guize said: "This king and the general did not come here with great fanfare, but also chose to act in a low-key manner."

Regarding the negotiation, Hua Xiangying did not continue to participate, but chose to stand aside, watching Ming Guize talk with Liao Wenzhong.

After saying some respectable words, at this time, Liao Wenzhong said: "The two adults are tired from the boat and the carriage. The officer looked at it, and it seems that there are female relatives on the carriage. If His Highness and General Hua do not dislike it, it is better to go to the humble house to rest for a while. After the rest, the next official will go to the street with the two adults to observe the people's sentiments."

Ming Guize nodded slightly after hearing this: "Well, then lead the way."

After Liao Wenzhong nodded repeatedly, he personally led the way for them.

He ordered his subordinates to arrange the casual people in the inn not far from the mansion, and sent the food and salaries to Liao's mansion.

The Liao Mansion is not big, not half the size of the General's Mansion.

But although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. This small mansion even has a granary and a treasury.

Originally, Hua Xiangying thought that Liao Wenzhong would choose to build such warehouses outside the residence.

"The lower official originally planned to prepare four wing rooms for the four of you, but the humble house is really shabby. Apart from the main courtyard, there are only three vacant rooms left. I heard that only two adults came from the middle of the capital, so I didn't come back. Make room for..."

"Don't bother." Hua Xiangying replied: "I will just live in a room with my wife."

Hearing what Hua Xiangying said, Liao Wenzhong quickly laughed and said, "It turns out that the general's wife is also accompanying me, please forgive me for my stupidity. If that's the case, then the guest room is just ready."

Liao Wenzhong took them to their respective rooms, and told them that lunch would be delivered to their rooms specially for them.

I have to say that the guest rooms in Liao Mansion are really simple.

Except for the necessary beds, tables and chairs and tea sets in each room, there is nothing else.

The walls are bare, not even a calligraphy or painting.

Not only that, but the mottled walls seemed to tell that the Liao Mansion's family background was not very good.

"I didn't expect that Liao Wenzhong, as the parent officer here, has such poor conditions." Hua Xiangying sighed.

Yun Yuefeng smiled lightly, and said: "Compared to him, the general is not much better, but because he is in the capital and is the general of the town, his salary is higher than Master Liao."

Strictly speaking, Hua Xiangying still has to manage the monthly salaries of so many people in the General's Mansion every month. Just now, there are quite a few servants in Liao's Mansion, and it seems that they are almost reaching the General's Mansion.

It's just that the Liao Mansion is not that big, so what do you need such servants for?
Thinking of this, Yun Yuefeng glanced sideways, and placed the realization outside the open door.

Two people had already arrived with lunch.

And just as the two put the lunch in the food box on the table, the three dishes and one soup with clear soup and little water were all green vegetables.

Yun Yuefeng glanced at it with a little disgust, but thinking that the place had only been hit by floods not long ago, and she could bring out so many vegetables to entertain them, she didn't say much.

If Yun Yuefeng didn't say anything, Hua Xiangying had no objections.

She has never been a picky eater, and sometimes, she can't help being picky eaters.

It's nice to have something to eat.

But at this moment, Yun Yuefeng looked at the two maids with a smile, and asked: "Girl, I'm a little curious about something, can I ask the two girls?"

These two people were also very humble, and said quickly: "Madam, please ask, this servant will know everything."

"How many servants are there in the Liao Mansion?"

The two hesitated for a while, and after a while of calculation, one of them replied: "If you go back to Madam, if you count all the coachmen and cooks, there are probably less than 200 people."

Hearing this number, Hua Xiangying's eyes froze.

Yun Yuefeng nodded with a smile: "I see, I think I met a lot of people along the way."

After the two left with the empty food box, Yun Yuefeng's smile gradually disappeared.

"Xiangying, the Liao Mansion is not simple."

Hua Xiangying didn't speak, but her expression was extremely serious.

Yes, it is indeed not simple.

The total number of people inside and outside the General's Mansion is only about 150 people, and a fifth-rank magistrate has only more than 100 yamen servants, but there are as few as two hundred servants in the Liao Mansion.

Not to mention other things, how did Liao Wenzhong solve the monthly money for so many people?
A small Liao's mansion not only has a granary and a treasury, but also manages the food and housing of these two hundred people.

Where did Liao Wenzhong get such great ability?
From this room alone, he doesn't seem like someone who can support so many people.

In other words, he is actually a saint, just to make life easier for others, so he takes them in the mansion, provides them with food, and provides them with shelter, even if it is his own poverty.

"After dinner later, the regent and Liao Wenzhong and I will go out to inspect together. Yuefeng, you and Xiaoyun stay in the Liao Mansion to see if we can investigate and deal with anything else."

Yun Yuefeng nodded immediately: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't find out, the most important thing is to protect yourself."

Yun Yuefeng heard the words, looked at Hua Xiangying with a smile, and rested her chin with one hand: "Are you worried about me?"

"I brought you out. Naturally, I want to take good care of you. If something happens, don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake. Everything will be decided after I come back."

Yun Yuefeng nodded: "Okay, okay, just listen to you, I really can't stand you being so serious."
