Chapter 139 Victory
A person came out from the side hall, wearing a short shirt, a pair of light cloth shoes on his feet, holding a cage in his hand, and was blowing whistles at the birds flying around inside.

He didn't even look at Si Ruiyan.

"It turns out that Lord Hong is so pure-hearted that he doesn't even want to be promoted." Seeing this, Si Ruiyan couldn't help sneering, turned around and left.

Hua Ling is an important performance appraisal, and only those who get Hua Ling will have the chance to be promoted every year.A courtier can get Hua Ling up to three times. As long as he has Hua Ling in his hand, the more Hua Ling he has, the higher the priority for promotion.

Ever since Si Ruiyan came to Da Zhou, Lord Hong, the government office in the capital, has never gotten Hualing once, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and even the Ministry of Rites, which has the fewest things all the year round, have done better than him.

As the hostage of a neighboring country, he had no relationship with the six divisions of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Giving a chance to promote the courtiers is only for the sake of flattery.It is no wonder that such an official has been trampled on for so many years when an opportunity comes to his door but does not know how to cherish it.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Bo suddenly stepped forward and placed the cage in front of Si Ruiyan, his face suddenly darkened.

"What kind of place is Fuya? You can come and leave whenever you want!"

Si Ruiyan raised his eyes.

The master choked his throat and couldn't help taking a few steps back.

"This is the government office, and that is Master Hong's respect. Your Excellency didn't say I was rude, but Mr. Bo is a very powerful official. If outsiders don't know, they will think that Mr. Bo has already won the high position, and no one else will be tolerated." .” Si Ruiyan whispered coldly.

Zhu Bo's face changed when he heard the words, and his legs couldn't help trembling.

"What a crazy kid! You came to the government to act wild!" He yelled out loud, glanced at the soldiers outside the door, opened his mouth to shout, but suddenly choked his throat.

Si Ruiyan just watched him go from angry to dumb, his eyes retreating.

If he really ordered the government soldiers from outside to come in and take him, it would be in line with what he said, the official authority is already greater than the real government officials.

"As expected of the emperor's proton, she is eloquent and has some skills!"

A solemn and contemptuous voice came, and a person turned in from the gate.

This person was about forty years old, his face was dark purple, and his eyes were slightly swollen.The body is slightly fat, but the legs are as thin as two chopsticks, and the breathing is rapid and frequent, like a patient who has been weak for a long time.

This is obviously the impotence of indulging in wine and sex, singing and singing every night.

When Si Ruiyan was in Wei State, he also met many dog ​​officials. They all had such faces, arrogant and unruly, looking at people with their nostrils, exactly the same as the people in front of them.

"Master Hong." He cupped his fists slightly.

Since he is the lord of Fuya, he still needs to be courteous, so as not to be bitten back, saying that he would rather take a step back with the airs of the prince than be caught by others.

Master Hong snorted coldly, skipped Si Ruiyan, and stepped on him intentionally or unintentionally when passing by.

On the brown-black boots, a deep gray light mark was left.

Si Ruiyan's brows did not move.

"The people who come to my mansion are either death row prisoners or dignitaries above the third rank. His Highness is the first one." Master Hong sat down and took the tea brought by his subordinates without looking up. .

There is something in the words, the three words of this kind of people have a lot of meaning.

It is not clear whether it is a superior person or an inferior person, which is ambiguous and can be praised or criticized.But this tone made people sound like a needle stuck in the back, the pain was beyond words, it was quite uncomfortable.

"I didn't come here for anything else, but to ask Master Hong for a favor." Si Ruiyan said coldly, his eyes fixed on Master Hong's face.

"Jiannei was seriously ill the day before yesterday and was placed in a small house to recuperate. But he disappeared without a trace the night before. I hope Master Hong will help me and send someone to look for her."

He didn't say clearly that he was taken away. If he said that, Lord Hong would definitely let him go out to beat the drums to complain, and then spend another incense stick of time.

And now, he can't let others know that Xiao Ning is missing.

From Xiao Ran and Xiao Wanying's point of view, she was a person who had fallen off a cliff and died.If they knew that Xiao Ning was not dead but just disappeared, in order to continue killing people to silence them, Xiao Ran and others would still want to kill again.

For Xiao Ning whose whereabouts are unknown, he must not let her add another crisis.

"What a joke!" Mr. Hong sneered, "Your wife is a patient, so if she gets lost, it's because your husband doesn't like her. You don't even look down on your own wife, and you have the face to come to the government. It's shameless."

The owner next to him also smiled: "Ordinary people report to the government. They always look for their mothers to find their sons, but they never say they are looking for their wives. Your Highness, I think you should go back, even if your wife can't be found. Sooner." Heli, you can still marry another beautiful girl, so you don't have to look at the face of that Lion in the East River."

Master Hong couldn't help laughing.

As the two sang together, there were already countless cynicisms floating in the hall.

Si Ruiyan saw that the two of them were smiling complacently, like a pair in distress who had stolen poultry.Suddenly, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head in thought.

"Don't let any cats or dogs in casually in the future, it will simply dirty the land of my house." Master Hong sneered, and got up to leave.

"Come on, hurry up and bring water to wash the floor." Zhu Bo immediately shouted, and he didn't know who he was telling.

The two left one after another like this, and when they left, they still didn't forget to look back at Si Ruiyan jokingly, as if looking at a poor dog.

From the beginning to the end, Mr. Hong never mentioned about Hua Ling.It can be seen that he doesn't believe that Si Ruiyan is capable of asking for rewards for him at all, and he came out to meet him just to humiliate him.

Si Ruiyan stood there motionless.

His face was cold, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.After a while, he turned around and left, his eyes were so calm that there was no wave.

Everything just now seemed to be passing, and it didn't affect him at all.

In front of the yamen gate, the two guards were already standing, one of them had an ugly face, frowning from time to time as if he was in pain.The other person stood upright, his eyes staring straight ahead, and a little sweat dripped from his forehead.

When Cheng Feng saw his master coming out, he hurried forward, but he didn't know what to say.

"Someone bought the government." Si Ruiyan said coldly.

When Xiao Ning was mentioned, Mr. Hong's complexion obviously changed, even if it was only for a moment, he still caught it.

The power to investigate the population of private houses and search government houses belongs to the government.At first Si Ruiyan was only [-]% skeptical, but just now he was completely sure.

Chengfeng and his wife live together with their son, and there are only three of them in their family.

But in the past few days, the boy has repeatedly gone out to buy medicine, but his parents are not sick, obviously there is someone extra in the family.

Xiao Ning had been missing for many days, and he still disappeared when the torrential rain hit.In addition, she encountered a landslide, and it was impossible for her to be intact.

The best way to catch a wounded person is to stare at the pharmacy.

Xiao Guang was an imperial envoy, and all the officials in the capital, big and small, would give him a little favor.As long as he can casually say the order of his superiors and arrest a wounded prisoner, the government and patrolling guards will help him monitor all pharmacies for many days to buy medicines, not just medicines for common diseases such as wind, cold, dampness and heat, then could be listed as a suspect.

The days when Si Ruiyan went to the capital were enough for them to screen out the suspects and investigate each one to find out where Xiao Ning was.

It's just that those people were too secretive. During this unannounced visit, his subordinates were not aware of it.

"Your Highness, if the government is instigated, it will be even more difficult for us to find the eldest lady!" Cheng Feng frowned when he heard this.
