Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 733

Zhong Dianshi is Cao Hongshou's deputy, and he must know the situation in the entire yamen.The servant was always by his side, and he naturally knew what Zhong Dianshi knew.

As soon as he heard the place name, he knew that this was not the address of anyone in the yamen, let alone the address of Yu Huaigu - Yu Huaigu was just a petty official, his family was not rich and he had many children, and his salary in the yamen was only enough to support him. The family lived in a small old house.

Seeing Yu Huaigu get into the mule cart, the servant immediately turned around and ran back, just in time to meet Zhong Dianshi's carriage coming out.

He quickly jumped into the cart, pointed to the mule cart ahead and said to the driver: "Follow that cart."

Zhong Dianshi frowned and asked: "Who is sitting in that car?" It couldn't be Du Jinning.

"It's Yu Dian from the Ministry of Industry. Mr. Du is his supervisor. I just heard him report a place name. It's on the bank of Xiqing Lake. That should be Mr. Du's residence." The boy said.

Zhong Dianshi frowned even tighter.

He had given Du Jinning a lot of embarrassment at first, and it would definitely be unpleasant to meet him after a while. Maybe Du Jinning would double the embarrassment back to him.If Dianli Yu and his subordinates were present, where would he save his face?
But Yu Huaigu has gone, what if he doesn't go, what if Du Jinning misunderstands that he has no intentions, and directly takes his official position to go?He can even kill Cao Hongshou, and take off his unremarkable black hat, isn't that an easy task?
Is face important, or official position?
Thinking of this, Zhong Dianshi gritted his teeth and said, "Go, follow that car."

Du Jinning's house was not in the busiest part of the city, so the two cars walked one after the other for a while before entering a spacious street and finally stopped in front of a house.

Although it is not lively here, but because it is near the lake, the scenery is good, and the area is spacious, those scholars who like the quiet environment like to come here to build houses. Over time, it has formed a street. The people living on the street are not cultured and arty. Rich people are literati.

However, people with money and family background will not live here, but live in the bustling area of ​​the city, which belongs to the old street and is closer to the state government.

This is also the reason why Zhong Dianshi's servant guessed that this was Du Jinning's residence when he heard the address.

This is undoubtedly the best choice for newcomers who don’t have much money but want to live in a spacious and tidy place.As long as the money is sufficient, any house can be bought, and someone else can choose another place and build another one.Unlike the prosperous areas in the city, some people cling to a poor life and refuse to sell the old houses passed down from their ancestors.

Naturally, Zhong Dianshi's carriage did not stop at the same place as Yu Huaigu's mule cart. When Yu Huaigu's mule cart stopped, he stopped at a distance of 30 meters.

Zhong Dianshi was thinking about whether when Yu Huaigu came in after leaving the Du's house, he heard his own servant "Hey".

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's probably not the door of Mr. Du's house." The young man said, "Dianli Yu got out of the car and walked a few steps forward, then stopped, hid behind a tree and looked forward."

Hearing this, Zhong Dianshi put his head out of the car window and saw Yu Huaigu hiding behind a tree.Looking in the direction Yu Huaigu was looking at, Zhong Dianshi was taken aback.

It turned out that those colleagues who slipped away pointing to the reason stood in front of a tall gate, and one of them was talking to the people inside.

"Why are they all here?" Zhong Dianshi asked.

The boy shook his head, but didn't speak.

Cao Hongshou and Wang Yugui fell, and if Mrs. Du was more narrow-minded, the officials in the yamen would probably have to change their blood.Although some subordinate officials are deeply entrenched in the local area, they are not so easy to fall, but who knows who is standing behind Mr. Du?It's unwise to wrestle with such a person.

Being able to bow your head and admit your mistakes, ease the relationship, benefit without cost, whoever doesn't do it is a fool.

But these words, he is a servant, so it is not easy to say clearly, otherwise it will appear that he is smarter than the master.

The boy turned his head and asked Zhong Dianshi carefully: "Master, do we want to go down?"

Zhong Dianshi is also very contradictory.But in the end, he gritted his teeth: "Go down."

The servant asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the door of Du's house, and then got out of the carriage with Zhong Dianshi one behind the other.

Zhong Dianshi walked to the door of Du's house, stood behind the crowd, and heard the doorman of Du's house say: "My young master is really not here. He is in charge of farming and will be plowing in spring soon. He has gone out of the city to inspect the farmland and water conservancy."

"Old man, just tell us which direction Mr. Du has gone. Let's go look for him, and even if we can't find him, we don't blame you." A middle-aged man in the uniform of a government official said.

Zhong Dianshi recognized this middle-aged man, who was the yamen servant who, according to Cao Hongshou's order, made Du Jinning sad.

When Cao Hongshou fell, Du Jinning had expected that these people would take advantage of the wind to steer the rudder. Before she left the house in the morning, she had instructed old man Zhu how to deal with these people.

So no matter how these people asked, Old Man Zhu shook his head and said, "The young master only said to go outside the city. As for where, I don't know."

Seeing that they couldn't ask Du Jinning's whereabouts, the people at the door were a little frustrated.

If you can't show your love to Master Du in time, what if Master Du feels that you are not sincere?
Looking at these flattering and frustrated faces, old man Zhu sneered in his heart: I knew I was panicking at this time, why did I go so early?Back then, he had the guts to bully the young master, but now he has the ability not to please him.

"Okay, everyone has something to look for my young master, come back tomorrow." Saying that, old man Zhu directly closed the door.

"Hey, wait, let's put the post here, and we will visit Lord Du tomorrow." Yu Huaigu cleverly took out a post from his pocket, and threw it into the door that was about to close.

It is because of writing posts that he falls behind these people.Now he is very proud of his wise move.He is still smart!
Others regretted it one after another: why didn't I think of writing a post.

Seeing the post that fell through the crack in the door, the corner of Old Man Zhu's mouth curled into a mocking smile.

Do you think the young master will forgive you if you send a greeting card?Just wait, the young master will settle accounts with you one by one.

At this time, Du Jinning was sitting in Zhuangzi's courtyard, looking at the materials of these officials in the yamen sent by Qin Laoliu.

The group of women and children who blocked the Dali Temple officials was naturally the work of Qin Lao Liu.Du Jinning knew that Cao Hongshou and Wang Yugui were sent to the capital and would never return.Based on the things they did, the prison can let them sit through.

And based on Zhao He and Qi Bokun's defense of her this time, the Zhizhou sent must be someone who is biased towards her.Then, she should also take this opportunity to clean the Runzhou Yamen, and those subordinates who do not follow the righteous path should go away.It doesn't matter if you say she is narrow-minded or small-minded, those who have bullied her will never have a good life.
