Five hundred and twentieth nine chapters caught off guard
"A big deal? Well, I guess so." Ling Yun said thoughtfully.
The waiter's explanation not only revealed the real situation in Guangxin City, but also indirectly revealed one of the reasons why Ling Yun did not go directly to the Yamen yesterday but stayed at the inn temporarily.
"Sir, to tell you the truth, although our Nanyi Prefecture has magistrates on the surface, most of them are managed by Tongzhi adults. I heard that many magistrates sent here from the capital can't even stay for a few days.
, it can only last for three months at most, during which Lord Tongzhi was operating behind the scenes, except of course Lord Wang."
"I once heard from a guest staying at the inn that the reason why Mr. Wang was able to stay here for three years was because he had to make very big concessions in order to be safe and sound. As for what kind of concessions, this is not what I can know.
Of course, these are just hearsay and cannot be taken as true."
…
The waiter at the inn kept chattering and told Ling Yun a lot about the situation of Master Tongzhi in Nanyi Prefecture. Although they were all inconspicuous things, they made him wary.
Recalling what Wang Zhengyang had warned him back then, and based on the inn's waiter's explanation, Ling Yun understood some of the situation.
Nanyi Prefecture's co-president, whose surname is Wang Buwei, first heard this name at the Wang family. At that time, he heard Wang Zhengyang say it, and he always remembered it in his heart. So when he first arrived in Nanyi Prefecture, he didn't feel that way.
The joy of being an official is instead filled with worries.
Zhang Wu opened the door, walked in, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yun, are you looking for me?"
Ling Yun frowned and curled his lips and said, "Yeah! Brother Zhang, you and I are friends, there is no need to be so polite."
Zhang Wu nodded after hearing this, but when he spoke again, he was respectful and addressed himself to Master Yun, which made Ling Yun feel puzzled.
It was said that they were friends before, but after escorting him, Zhang Wu changed his name. He didn't know what happened during this period, maybe it was really related to that person.
Ling Yun pondered for a moment and then said straight to the point, "Brother Zhang, I would like to ask you to do me a favor, is it possible?"
Zhang Wu said cheerfully, "If Master Yun has anything to do, just ask him. As long as we Zhang Wu can handle it, we will definitely handle it for Master Yun."
"Hmm~ That's it. I would like to ask Brother Zhang to help me find out the details of Yang Buwei, a colleague from Nanyi Prefecture. What do you think?"
Zhang Wu thought that Ling Yun wanted to ask him for something. It turned out that he wanted to investigate the details of Nanyi Prefecture’s fellow intellectuals. He had done this kind of thing countless times in the past, and it could be said that he was very good at it, so he patted his chest and promised, "No problem.
, Master Yun, leave this matter to me and I will definitely handle it beautifully for you."
After receiving Zhang Wu's assurance, Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief. This was because Zhang Wu was not his person, and if he wanted to ask him to help, he had to see whether he was willing.
It's just that Zhang Wu was so cheerful, as if whatever he said was what he said, this change really surprised him.
Before leaving, Ling Yun couldn't help but warn him, "Brother Zhang, be careful in everything, remember to act within your ability, and don't put yourself in a dangerous place."
Unexpectedly, after hearing his instructions, Zhang Wu didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said confidently, "Master Yun, don't worry! Zhang and Miss Zhang often did this kind of thing before. It can be said that they are very handy and there is no danger."
Ling Yun asked, "Is the lady that Brother Zhang is talking about Zixuan?"
When Zixuan was mentioned, Zhang Wu's eyes showed a trace of panic, and he immediately found a reason to run away.
"Master Yun, if nothing happens, I'll go down first."
Seeing Zhang Wu retreating again and again as he spoke, Ling Yun hurriedly said, "Hey! Wait a minute, Brother Zhang, you haven't answered me yet?"
"Master Yun, just wait, I, Zhang Wu, will definitely get things done today."
With that said, he ran away without looking back.
…
In the evening, Zhang Wu appeared in the room again, with information about Yang Buwei placed on the desk.
As for Zhang Wu's speed, Ling Yun did not ask him where the information came from. He just picked it up and took a rough look, but the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
I didn't expect Yang Buwei to be so capable. Just like what the waiter at the inn said, he is the man with the best say in Nanyi Prefecture. Whatever you want to do, you must get his nod, otherwise he will do it to you.
If we don't go down, even if Zhizhou comes forward, it won't work.
Of course, these are all things kept secretly.
Knowing the general situation of Yang Buwei, Ling Yun was also mentally prepared, because if he wanted to make money, he could not do without the obstruction of the squires or some local snakes in Nanyi Prefecture, and the biggest obstacle now was Yang Buwei.
The mansion of the governor of Guangxin City is located in the center of the city. There were two people sitting in the living room of the previous mansion. You were talking to each other, and they seemed to be discussing something.
I only heard one of them say, "Master Yang, according to the news from the capital, the new governor of the state is about to arrive."
Mr. Yang nodded slightly and responded, "Well~ according to the past time, it is indeed coming. However, in recent days, we have not seen the soldiers guarding the city coming back to communicate. Could it be that there is something wrong on the road?"
The man muttered, "If something happens on the road, it will be a happy event."
Master Yang squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully, "Master Feng, walls have ears, so be careful what you say!"
"Hahaha…"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Feng burst out laughing.
"Master Yang is joking. Who doesn't know that Master Yang is the Heaven of Nanyi Province? As long as Master Yang doesn't let go, his words won't be able to penetrate this curtain, let alone this airtight wall."
It turns out that Master Yang is the Master Tongzhi Yang Buwei mentioned by Ling Yun, and the person sitting on the side is none other than Feng Liangji, the general magistrate of Nanyi Prefecture.
Yang Buwei waved his hand and said indifferently, "Hey! Mr. Feng, this is not acceptable, it is not appropriate... I have Mr. Zhizhou above me!"
"Yes, yes, Master Yang is saying that there is indeed a Master Zhizhou here, but only an obedient Master Zhizhou can be regarded as a Master Zhizhou, otherwise... the lower official will definitely make him suffer." Feng Liangji agreed.
, but his eyes were full of disdain.
"Hahaha... Master Feng, as the subordinates of Lord Zhizhou, you and I cannot say such arrogant words, otherwise the new Lord Zhizhou will be unhappy if he hears it!"
They said they were afraid that Zhizhou would be unhappy, but in their eyes and in their hearts, there was an indifferent sarcasm. It seemed that in their eyes, the new Zhizhou master was just like the previous Zhizhou, and he had nothing worthy of them.
A place to be afraid of.
"Master Yang's lesson is that when the so-called Master Zhizhou arrives, your subordinates will definitely entertain him well."
At that time, the two of them were chatting happily when a boy suddenly broke in and rushed in and said, "Sir...sir, it's not good, something happened..."
When Yang Buwei heard this, he immediately showed displeasure, and then yelled loudly, "How dare you, your master is doing well here, what could happen to you?"
As soon as these words came out, the young man was shocked and turned pale. He could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, "Sir... sir, I... I know you are guilty..."
In front of outsiders, Yang Buwei couldn't help but ask again in a deep voice, "Huh! Tell me, why are you so panicked?"
"Sir...Sir, someone broke in from outside the door, holding a letter of appointment in his hand, and uttering wild words, saying that he was the new governor of Nanyi Prefecture..."
