Chapter 1626 Xilin Official Field
Lin Haoming saw that Lao Yu was so surprised, and obviously there was an article inside, so he asked directly: "Lao Yu, is there something wrong with this house?"
"No, there is no problem with not having a house, and it is indeed one of the best houses that can be obtained by the ninth rank official, but...but..."
"But what?" Lin Haoming asked directly when he saw him hesitating.
"On the way here, I didn't mention to you that there was a ascension monk more than a thousand years ago. This house was actually where he lived after he just came here. After moving to a better house after he advanced to the Taoist typhoon, no one moved in again. Maybe Captain Lin was also an ascension monk, so he gave this house to you!" Lao Yu said guessingly.
"I remember you said before that the monk who ascended more than a thousand years ago had already advanced to the Taoist womb five or six hundred years ago. In this way, this house has been empty for five or six hundred years. This house itself is good, how could it be empty for so long? There is nothing wrong with it, right?" Lin Haoming stared at Lao Yu and asked with a serious expression.
Lin Haoming was also a little guilty when he was staring at Lin Haoming, but he really didn't know. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Captain Lin, I really don't know about this matter. After all, I am just the least inexpensive little official. Zheng Donglai is now the commander of Xilin County and the county sect. He really has a secret, I don't know either!"
Seeing that Lao Yu really didn't want to tell lies, Lin Haoming stopped asking questions. "Okay, the house has already reached my name. Even if there is anything, I can't escape. Since Zheng Donglai can make a name for himself in a short time, I think he will never make things difficult for no reason. Lao Yu, please lead a way."
"Yes!" Old Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Haoming not asking. He was really relieved just now because he was really stressed out by Lin Haoming, and he was a little breathless.
Although Lao Yu is a low-level official in Xilin County, he is very familiar with Xilin County at least. He hired a carriage and carried two people all the way east. When it was almost dark, he arrived at the place where the house on Lin Haoming's land deed was located.
Along the way, Lin Haoming also saw a lot of luxury houses. Of course, this is just compared to here. Those houses are far inferior to the lower realm. Lao Yu really helped. After the carriage arrived here, he passed by at the entrance of the main high-ranking official house in Xilin County. Any house that passes by will briefly introduce the people living in so that Lin Haoming can understand something in his heart.
Lin Haoming also knew that the county magistrate Liu he had met before was Liu Yuqing, the right county magistrate. In addition, the left county magistrate was Zhang Qifeng, the left chief clerk was Lian Lihai, the right chief clerk was Fang Chengyu, the left county magistrate was Li Rong, the right county magistrate Jin Tong, the sixth house chief clerk. In addition, in addition to Yu Dalu and Liao Yiming, he also had the house clerk Lu Xin, the work house chief clerk Tieqingshan, the punishment house chief Zhao Wei, and the soldier chief Fei Shaoyang. In addition, his immediate boss, the commander of the arrest department, was named Pang Zheng.
If he could take him around, recognize the way, and tell him about these situations, no matter whether this old Yu was sent by Yu Dalu or not, Lin Haoming would owe him a favor.
In addition, Lao Yu simply reduced the situation of the arrest department, but because he didn't know much about the arrest department, he only knew that in addition to commander Pang Zheng, the arrest department also had two deputy commanders and six captains. He should be one of the six captains. As for who the two deputy commanders were, Lao Yu didn't know, otherwise he would have transferred anyway, and he would have followed him.
When the two of them really arrived in front of Lin Haoming's house, it was already dark. Although it was not yet dark, as the areas where officials lived, lanterns were hung or lit.
At this time, in front of Lin Haoming, he was an old man who looked quite handsome and looked a little handsome. At this moment, he was holding a lit pine branch and lighting up two lanterns hanging high at the door.
"You are the housekeeper here. This is the head of the arresting department of the sweetheart, Lord Lin. This will be his mansion from now on!" Lao Yu got off the carriage, as if it was Lin Haoming's follower, and took the initiative to go up and said to the old man.
The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, but at this time Lin Haoming had already taken out the land deed of the house.
When the old man saw it, he immediately threw the pine branches in his hand, then bent down and saluted: "Old servant Shang Chengzuo, have you seen Lord Lin!"
"Captain Lin, the government will send someone to take care of this empty house until an official moves in. After you come, if you are willing, you can naturally use him as the housekeeper directly. If you don't want to, you can also choose someone by yourself!" Yu Zheng briefly introduced it. As for how to judge, he dare not say more.
Lin Haoming looked at the old man and asked, "Lao Shang, how long have you been here?"
"Oh! It's been almost forty years!" Shang Chengzuo said with four fingers stretching out.
Forty years are not long for people who normally have hundreds of years of life here, but not short. From this old man, Lin Haoming can see that this old man probably won’t have too much life span, at least if there is not enough Shi Jing.
Lin Haoming didn't worry that he would be someone else's pawn, especially when he was suddenly there, so Lin Haoming didn't consider replacing the housekeeper. Even if he really changed, he would be easy to change to someone else's.
"Since you have been here for forty years, are you still willing to continue doing it?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing!" After Shang Chengzuo knew that there was a master in this house, he was most afraid of being replaced, so he naturally nodded.
Seeing that his reaction was in line with his judgment, Lin Haoming pointed directly inside and said, "Since that's the case, take me around!"
"Yes, sir!"
After hearing this, Shang Chengzuo immediately led Lin Haoming and Yu Zheng in happily.
After entering the house, there is a front yard with a small path on both sides leading to another place. According to Shang Cheng's explanation, the path on the left leads to the kitchen, wood-room warehouse, and on the right leads to the residence of servants and maids in the future mansion.
Walking through the front yard is the front hall, where there are many tables and chairs in the hall, which are spotless. Shang Chengzuo is currently the only one here, and it seems that he is not a lazy person.
Behind the front hall is a garden, with a pond dug in the middle, and a pavilion is built beside the pond, which has a bit of scenery.
With this garden as the center, right behind the garden is the back hall and the master's bedroom and study. In addition, there is a row of wing rooms on both sides, so that the master's family can be accommodated.
After walking aside, Lao Yu couldn't help but exclaim: "Captain Lin, this house is really good, much bigger than mine."
