Yangzhou's night is also very beautiful, the party played until midnight. The next day, after three strokes of the sun, Qiyou didn't get up.
Chang Yongnian is so angry that he will die. Is this for sightseeing or investigation? I don't know why the emperor ordered you wang to investigate this case. This case can't be solved.
No matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to say a word when he saw Qiyou. There is a difference in dignity and inferiority, which is not to say. If you offend Qiyou, you will be killed if you offend him.
After eating, Qi you said to Chang Yongnian and pan Shengyuan, "go to the magistrate's Yamen."
Chang Yongnian stood at the same place and said, "Lord, is it not appropriate for us to go to the magistrate Bai now?"
Qiyou is not a happy one: "if you don't want to go, you can stay in the Inn and have a good rest!"
Chang Yongnian said bravely, "Lord, I think it's more appropriate for me to visit secretly first." How to find the magistrate and investigate the case.
Qiyou said jokingly, "does Chang adult want to take a private visit? OK, I'll go to find Bai Zhenghu. " As soon as they entered the city, they were stared at by people, and their heads were full of water before they paid a private visit. In other words, pan Shengyuan thought the man was a little slow. When he came, he brought two followers and sixteen guards. But when they lived in the inn, Qiyou had four guards missing. But Chang Yongnian didn't find out these differences.
Clattered a group of people in an instant out of the inn, and Chang Yongnian is still standing in place.
Pan Shengyuan said softly: "Lord, Lord Chang is too upright. Don't worry about him in a large amount. Otherwise, you are the last one to be criticized. "
"I'll take care of him, throw him into the river on the way, and he can still whisper in my ear." He knew that Qihao did not value Chang Yongnian, but because he knew more about taxes, money and food in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It's useful to keep this man.
When pan Shengyuan heard this, he didn't say any more.
After a short walk, Zhao Qian whispered, "Lord, Chang Yongnian is here."
This is in Qiyou's expectation. If he really dares to stay in the guest room and rest, he will report this to elder brother at that time, which will definitely affect his career. Even if you get along with each other for a short time, Qi you can see that Chang Yongnian is very important for his career.
When he arrived at the magistrate's Yamen, the Yamen servant heard that Qiyou was the king of the dynasty. Busy tell him that Bai Zhenghu is ill, these two days, he will rest in houya.
The magistrate yamen is divided into the front yard and the back yard. In front of us is the prefecture magistrate's office. The backyard is usually a place for the families of the magistrate. However, the magistrate's Yamen is not spacious. If the rich don't live in yamen, they will buy another house to live in.
Qiyou said, "I will go to see him." Then he walked towards the backyard.
Outside, Qiyou shelf is very high. There are many advantages, such as people who know his identity don't dare to go against him.
This is not, yamen runner want to stop also dare not stop, finally had to hurriedly walk in front of them to lead the way.
Bai Zhenghu got the news, regardless of the serious illness, let the young man come out to welcome Qiyou.
Qi you saw that Bai Zhenghu was wearing a 60% new Lotus blue cloth robe, and his eyes flashed.
Bai Zhenghu has seen Qiyou before, and is very impressed with Qiyou. So without looking at the identity verification, he knelt on the ground when he saw Qiyou: "the Lord is thousands of years old and thousands of years old."
Qiyou said with a smile, "you can't be careless when you are ill. White adult will go back to the house and lie down."
Bai Zhenghu stands up and asks Qiyou to enter.
Chang Yongnian looked around. In fact, the yard was not big. There was nothing but a well and a stone table and chair. There are no trees, no flowers, no ashes.
After reading it, Chang Yongnian also entered the house. There is a picture hanging in the hall, and then there are tables and chairs. There are no other decorations.
Seeing such a humble residence, Chang Yongnian felt that the censor must have been a false accusation. Such a simple official can't be corrupt.
Qi you said to Bai Zhenghu, who was lying in bed, "Bai is ill. Who is taking care of Yangzhou's daily affairs?" Under normal circumstances, Bai Zhenghu's disease should be caused by the same generation of knowledge. However, this is only in theory. In fact, the magistrate will not hand over power unless he is transferred or cannot afford to get sick. Once the power is handed over, it may be lifted for a long time.
Bai Zhenghu said in a hoarse voice, "there is nothing urgent these two days. I will deal with it when I am well."
Just then, a woman in a crimson dress came in with tea.
Bai Zhenghu said: "this is the base." After that, I murmured to Mrs. Bai. Speaking dialect, Qiyou can't understand it.
Mrs. Bai put the tea on the table and knelt on the ground and kowtowed three heads to Qixuan.
Qi you looked at Mrs. Bai's hands full of cocoons and asked, "Mrs. Bai still does rough work on weekdays?" If not, the hand would not be so rough.
Bai Zhenghu nodded his head and said, "I'm used to being busy. I told her not to listen to anything." In fact, this is a euphemism. The family is so simple that we can imagine that life is not easy.
After hearing this, Qiyou stood up with a smile and said, "the king won't disturb Lord Bai to have a rest. We'll have a good chat when Lord Bai is well."
See white Zhenghu to get up, Kai you said: "the body is important, do not need to say these false rituals." It's time to see everything. There's no need to stay any longer.
Out of the magistrate's Yamen, Qiyou took a group of people to the best restaurant in Yangzhou.
As Chang Yongnian was waiting to speak, pan Shengyuan stopped him: "the Lord is the imperial envoy this time. We are only assisting the Lord in his work."
Chang Yongnian wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything at last when he thought of what he had just seen.
After eating and drinking in the tavern, Qiyou took a group of people to the Best Inn in Yangzhou.
When Chang Yongnian heard that a first-class room would cost twelve Liang silver, he was very distressed. They asked for five rooms these years, sixty liang of silver a day. He was paid in a month, but not in the thirties. Living for one day is equivalent to his salary for more than two months. How can he not suffer from flesh pain.
"How long are you going to stay here, Lord?" Seeing Qiyou looking at him, Chang Yongnian said, "if you live for a long time, you can give the shopkeeper a discount."
When Qiyou heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "it is estimated that it will take more than a month! I'm not sure how long it will take. "
Chang Yongnian haggled with the shopkeeper for half a day and finally reduced the house price from 12 Liang to 12 Liang.
Qiyou doesn't lack this money, but Zhao Qian says with a smile: "this boy is a little interesting." Originally thought to be a man of great face, I didn't expect to bargain with others. This kind of thing is usually done by women. Men, rarely bargain with others, feel shame.
Zhao Qian was also surprised.
There are two people in the room, one is the master and the other is the servant. There is a guard outside the room. Zhao Qian doesn't have any taboo: "Lord, magistrate Bai looks very poor."
"Yes! There is not a single decoration in the room, and the husband and wife also wear simple clothes. Especially Mrs. white, we have to do all the rough work at home. " Which magistrate's wife didn't call for slaves? This magistrate's wife even has to do housework. But looking at Mrs. Bai's appearance, she didn't complain at all.
Zhao Qian hesitated and said, "Lord, did the imperial historian make a mistake?" How could a magistrate who lived in such poverty collude with salt merchants!
"My parents only eat two dishes and one soup every day, and their clothes are very simple. The two of them are very simple. " But even if it's simple, the dishes are also cooked by top chefs, and the clothes are all made of good cloth.
Zhao Qian, as Qi you's confidant, still knows him better. When he heard this, he understood: "what do you mean, Wang Ye, they are playing?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "it doesn't look like a play. Especially the white lady, I think she is very skilled at housework! If it's acting, it's great. " Bai Zhenghu may pretend that they can't see the flaws, but a woman in the house also pretends that well, which is basically impossible..
Qiyou said with a smile: "this is the interesting place. For one payment, there will be sixty liang of silver for each month's salary. In addition to the following filial piety and other miscellaneous money, there are still hundreds of liang of silver a month. It's OK to buy two servants for the money. " It's an unwritten rule for the local government to show respect to its officers. The people above know, but as long as they don't overdo it, they won't take care of it. Because it's an extra benefit for officials.
Zhao Qian asked, "what do you mean, Wang Ye?"
Qiyou said with a smile, "there are three possibilities. The first one is that Bai Zhenghu is a big and honest official, but his family has some unexpected big expenses, so he lives in poverty because he cannot make ends meet; the second one is that Bai Zhenghu is a miser, and he can't take out the money when it's in his pocket; the third one is that he deliberately doesn't invite slaves, so he wants his wife to work hard all day."
Zhao Qian didn't understand what this meant, and asked conditionally, "why do you want Mrs. Bai to work hard all day?"
"I'm sorry you've been with me for so many years, but I can't even think of that. It's useless." After disdaining Zhao Qian, Qiyou said, "what are the three things men want most?"
Zhao Qian blurted out, "to get rich is to kill your wife."
Finish saying, Zhao Qian glares big eye way: "Wang Ye, should not be!" If so, then the mind of Bai Zhenghu is too vicious.
"I'm just guessing. Maybe this white man is really a good official with two sleeves of his own!" It's not that there are no clean officials in the officialdom. There are many clean officials like those he contacts. He admired these people very much. But even these good officials, they just lead a simple life, not a poor life. That's why he said it.
Zhao Qian asked, "Lord, what should we do next?"
"I haven't come to Yangzhou for a long time, and then it's natural to have a good meal and drink." In this way, we will not waste a visit to Yangzhou.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Yangzhou's night is also very beautiful, the party played until midnight. The next day, after three strokes of the sun, Qiyou didn't get up.
Chang Yongnian is so angry that he will die. Is this for sightseeing or investigation? I don't know why the emperor ordered you wang to investigate this case. This case can't be solved.
