I am the carpenter king

The palace of imperial envoys is not far from the imperial palace, and the pavilions, towers and pavilions are also regulated like the imperial palace, even if it is slightly inferior, it is not much worse.In August, the weather has gradually turned to autumn, and the power of autumn tigers is still extraordinary.

Sitting in the gazebo, drinking iced sour plum soup, Zhou Jiamo looked refreshed.Zhou Jiamo loves this kind of summer drink very much, but as he gets older, he can't drink too much, or his stomach will rebel.Gently sipping the sour plum soup, Zhou Jiamo enjoyed the rare leisure time.

But God didn't seem to want him to be so idle, a guard walked over quickly, saluted Zhou Jiamo respectfully, and said, "My lord, there are people outside asking to see you, this is a greeting card!"

Frowning slightly, Zhou Jiamo was also a little annoyed by the villainous guests who disturbed people's leisure.Taking the greeting card and putting it on the table, he said in a deep voice, "Who is here? Did you say anything?"

"My lord, there are four or five people here. I can't tell where they are from by their accents. They are from all over the world. They didn't say anything about their identities. They just said that your lord will understand when you see the greeting card." A flash across the guard's face After a touch of confusion, he returned to normal and replied respectfully.

It seemed quite interesting. After drinking the sour plum soup in the cup, Zhou Jiamo reached out and picked up the greeting card.I can't tell from the style, it's just an ordinary greeting card, a red greeting card commonly used among officials.Gently unfold it, but inside it is not like the usual greeting card, just write a name: Luo Sigong.

Zhou Jiamo was stunned, what's going on?How did Luo Sigong come back to Nanjing?So mysterious.But Luo Sigong himself couldn't see him. He glanced at the guards on one side, and Zhou Jiamo ordered: "Bring people in!"

"Yes, my lord!" These guards were all well-trained, capable and sensible, and they replied respectfully.Turned around and walked out.

Not long after, Luo Sigong, dressed as a rich man, walked in, with his hands behind his back, looking around from time to time.A few men followed behind him, their eyes were very unkind, and they looked around cautiously.

"So it's Brother Luo Xian. Come and sit down!" Zhou Jiamo didn't get up, but sat in the gazebo and greeted Luo Sigong with a smile. Naturally, he wouldn't go to greet Luo Sigong in his capacity, and there were probably not many civil and military men who could make him stand up to greet Luo Sigong. indivual.Seeing that Luo Sigong seemed to be keeping his identity a secret, Zhou Jiamo didn't point it out.

Luo Sigong hurried up, smiled and cupped his hands at Zhou Jiamo, and said, "I'm ashamed to bother you. But since Brother Zhou has arrived in Nanjing, wouldn't it be rude if I don't come?"

Zhou Jiamo looked around, and said to the old servant not far away: "You take all the people here, and the old man talks to Brother Luo Xian."

"Yes, master!" Zhou Jiamo's old servant had been by his side for decades, so he naturally knew Luo Sigong and knew that Zhou Jiamo had something to talk about, so he nodded.Greeted those around and went out.

Smiling and looking at Zhou Jiamo, Luo Sigong also turned around.He told the men behind him: "You guys should stay away, you can look around!"

When everyone had left, Zhou Jiamo's face became serious. He sized Luo Sigong up and said, "Dudu Luo, I'm afraid there is something wrong with coming to Nanjing this time! It's not a small matter to make Dudu Luo so cautious. Do you know if you can talk to the old man?"

"My lord was just joking. I naturally came to see my lord today. Of course I didn't intend to hide it from my lord. In fact, the matter this time is as simple as it is simple, and as complicated as it is said. It's all up to your lord to decide." Luo Sigong smiled and gave himself the sour plum soup on the side Poured a bowl, not polite at all.

"Where did Dudu Luo say this? Could it be that Dudu Luo came for this old man?" Zhou Jiamo could guess a little bit, poured himself a cup of sour plum soup, and said with a smile.

Slowly nodding his head, taking a sip of sour plum soup, Luo Sigong said with a smile: "The emperor sent Jin Yiwei to help your lord. This is a big case, and the emperor is afraid that your lord will suffer. Jin Yiwei can handle some things that are inconvenient for you and don't want to ask about it. To put it more bluntly, your lord knows very well what Jin Yiwei does."

Looking at Luo Sigong, Zhou Jiamo smiled knowingly, and Zhou Jiamo naturally understood the arrangement of Emperor Tianqi.I am not that kind of pedantic official, and I know Luo Sigong well, and know that he is not that kind of treacherous villain. With his cooperation, this trip to Nanjing will naturally go much smoother.

For example, Jiamo had a worrying thing in the current week, which was interrogating prisoners.The prisoners brought from Guan Yingzhen were all imprisoned in the imperial envoy's prison at this time, and ordinary interrogation methods must have no effect.Now that Luo Sigong is here, it happens to be handed over to him.For those profiteers, Zhou Jiamo has no sympathy at all in his heart, as the saying goes, the wicked need to be tortured by the wicked.

"Captain Luo, are you bringing these people here this time?" Zhou Jiamo glanced at the men in the distance and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you are just joking. How can you bring these people here to help? The rest of them are in Nanjing City. They have been arranged secretly, and they will show up at that time." Luo Sigong waved his hand quickly, although he knew that Zhou Jiamo did it on purpose, Still explained.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Jiamo continued: "There is really something to do here. Dudu Luo will bring someone over as soon as possible! Since you have already arrived in Nanjing, let's do it as soon as possible. Don't waste time. The emperor is still waiting in the capital."

"If you have anything to say, just say it! Luo didn't come to Nanjing to eat and drink. If you don't do something, the emperor will punish Luo." Luo Sigong looked at Zhou Jiamo with a smile, and said.

Without further hesitation, Zhou Jiamo explained the matter to Luo Sigong in detail, hoping that Luo Sigong would tell him what to do.Then he sat on the side and looked at Luo Sigong, waiting for his reply.

"Since this is the case, it will be much easier to handle. If more than a dozen people were arrested, it is impossible for all of them to be hard bones. It doesn't matter if they are hard bones. Our Jin Yiwei just smashes bones. Let these people be handed over to Jin Yiwei. Your lord, just wait for the good news! At that time, if you follow the vines, you will definitely gain something." Luo Sigong nodded, this is basically a trivial matter for Jin Yiwei.

After discussing this matter, Luo Sigong suddenly remembered another matter, looked at Zhou Jiamo and said, "My lord, do you have any news about the Zhejiang matter?"

"No, the old man just arrived in Nanjing, and I don't have a clue about Zhejiang's affairs. The Jinyiwei has been in charge of Zhejiang's affairs, Luo Dudu, please ask me!" Zhou Jiamo frowned slightly, with a hint of worry on his face, and said in a deep voice.

There has been a mutiny in Zhejiang, and Zhou Jiamo couldn't help thinking that he should really check it out.In the past, I was still worried that Jin Yiwei was responsible for the Zhejiang matter, and I seemed to be a little bit at a loss.Now that Luo Sigong is here, that's just right.Regarding Luo Sigong's ability and character, Zhou Jiamo was quite at ease.

Nodding his head, Luo Sigong also saw that Zhou Jiamo was not being polite, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will arrange for people to go to Hangzhou later, and there should be a move there. Use the things in Hangzhou to attract attention, and Nanjing will also start a little bit." .”

"I don't know what your lord's plan is? Or is there anyone who has doubts? You can ask Jin Yiwei to pay attention secretly." Seeing that Zhou Jiamo agreed with his opinion, Luo Sigong continued.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhou Jiamo said helplessly, "I just arrived in Nanjing, so I don't have a clue about everything. But I'm going to see Duke Wei tomorrow. This matter involves Duke Wei's mansion, and the emperor also has something to bring to Duke Wei."

"I don't think you need to meet Duke Wei. Although the news about your trip to Yangzhou is top-secret, it will inevitably be leaked when you come back. It is not easy to hide it from those who are interested. Duke Wei's mansion is deeply rooted in Nanjing. If you don't know about this, then That's strange. From Luo's point of view, Duke Wei will come to visit soon, and with Duke Wei's shrewdness, he will definitely not lose the opportunity." Luo Sigong looked at Zhou Jiamo with a smile, and said a little playfully.

Nodding his head as if realizing something, Zhou Jiamo glanced at Luo Sigong, and said with a smile: "Then Governor Luo, it seems that many people will come to visit this old man in the past few days?"

"That's for sure. Whether it's to inquire about the news or to get rid of yourself, they will definitely come to the imperial envoy's office. Your lord can stand still and watch the clouds rise and fall." Luo Sigong said with a smile.

"Master, someone is asking to see you outside!" When the two were talking, the old servant walked over quickly.Respectfully woke up Zhou Jiamo, smiled apologetically at Luo Sigong, and then handed over the greeting card in his hand.

Glancing at Luo Sigong in surprise, Zhou Jiamo took the greeting card handed over by the old servant, and immediately flipped through it.After looking at it for a few times, he gave Luo Sigong a strange look and said, "Dudu Luo, do you still have the ability to calculate? I really let you know that Wei Guogong has really come. This is Wei Guogong's worship." post."

"My lord, don't make fun of Luo. This is just a little inference. My lord just didn't pay attention for a while. You can deal with the visiting people here. Talk to them, and it will be good to find out something. Check it out. It doesn't matter if they don't come out, just keep them safe." Luo Sigong quickly waved his hands, to be honest, Luo Sigong was really worried about Zhou Jiamo's ability to investigate cases.

"Okay, Dudu Luo, the old man understands, Dudu Luo doesn't have to worry. But there is still a greeting card here, take a look!" Zhou Jiamo looked at Luo Sigong with a smile, and Zhou Jiamo could naturally feel Luo Sigong's kindness.Handing over a greeting card in his hand, Zhou Jiamo smiled and picked up the sour plum soup on the side.

Luo Sigong was slightly taken aback, why did he still let himself watch?However, he didn't open his mouth to ask, but just took the greeting card and opened it slowly.After taking a look, Luo Sigong understood why Zhou Jiamo let him read it, because the person who sent this invitation was Zhang Dake, commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei.
