Lin Haoming did not let Shu Siyue follow him when he went back this time. Although he was not alone, with eight guards including Liu Kai, he was indeed lighter than when he came to Chigang City.
Liu Kai was very high-profile the day he joined the City Magistrate's Office. Lin Haoming has been checking his details, but he has not found anything in the past ten years. Instead, he feels that this person is very easy to use. Although he always keeps a guard up, there are still some things.
I really often arrange for him to do it.
Nothing happened along the way. After returning to Xilin County, Lin Haoming naturally arrived at the county government office immediately.
Lin Haoming went directly to the Department of Internal Affairs, waiting to see Jia Kai. However, what surprised Lin Haoming was that the commander of the Department of Internal Affairs was no longer Yi Lan, but Yu Zhu, the former maid beside Yi Lan.
At this time, Lin Haoming knew that not long after he left, Yu Zhu had advanced to the Taoist level. After Mrs. Sun was divorced, Jia Kai had a concubine place next to him, so he asked Yu Zhu
Bamboo is officially collected.
Although Lin Haoming had noticed early on that there might be some kind of relationship between Yu Zhu and Jia Kai, after all, she was just a maid next to Yi Lan before, but now she has a real identity.
Of course, from the fact that she replaced Yi Lan, it can also be seen that after Jia Kai was promoted to the sixth level, his Tianyin could bless him with a wife and a concubine, and Yi Lan was obviously the perfect candidate to bless him.
Yu Zhu took over Yi Lan's position. Compared with his temperament back then, he now has a more overall perspective. He is also polite to Lin Haoming. When Lin Haoming arrived, he immediately sent someone to notify Jia Kai.
Lin Haoming could tell that she was deliberately imitating Yi Lan's behavior, but he would not tell the truth. Instead, he congratulated her and took out a piece of jade Ruyi as a compensatory gift.
Yu Zhu also knew that Lin Haoming might get together with Qiniang in the future, and since everyone was considered one of their own, he accepted the offer without refusing, and became even more polite to Lin Haoming.
The people Yu Zhu ordered to report soon came back, and Lin Haoming immediately followed to see Jia Kai.
He still met Jia Kai in the original study room, but compared to before, when Lin Haoming saw his future brother-in-law for the first time, he found that he was in better spirits than he imagined.
"My lord, I pay my respects!" Although Jia Kai is Qiniang's brother, Lin Haoming still hasn't forgotten that he is still the magistrate of Xilin County.
Jia Kai waved his hand rather kindly and said: "We are all members of our own family, so don't be too polite!"
Although Jia Kai just said a word, Lin Haoming also read his meaning. It seemed that after passing through Chigang City, he was really recognized by him.
"Is Qiniang okay?" Since Jia Kai agreed, Lin Haoming naturally didn't shy away from anything. Of course, asking this question was also a confirmation.
Jia Kai did not evade, and said directly: "She has sold her life to you. She will ask me about you every three days, but don't be anxious, kid. I will be going to Dishan City soon, waiting for settlement.
Okay, I’ll take you back to Xilin County when the time comes, and then I’ll get you married!”
"Thank you, sir!" Lin Haoming felt warm in his heart when he heard Jia Kai's words. He thought of the days he and Qiniang spent in that unknown cave.
"Thank you for what? Treat her well in the future!" Jia Kai warned.
"Don't worry, sir. I won't let you down. Besides, after your promotion, will Qiniang be able to receive the blessings of the Heavenly Seal?" Lin Haoming asked.
"It's good that you know, so you have to practice well, but Qiniang has already advanced to Shenxuan, and you are still a Taoist fetus!" Jia Kai said half-jokingly.
"My lord, what are you going to do when you go up this time?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Originally there were two or three positions, but now it has been completely decided, the head of the criminal chamber of Dishan City!" Jia Kaidao said.
"Sir, you actually went to the torture chamber?" Lin Haoming was a little surprised.
"It's not surprising. I once worked in the execution room in Dishan City. It would have been better to go to the household room, but sometimes things don't always go as planned. It's not bad to be the head of one of the six rooms.
Come on!" Jia Kai was not so worried about gains and losses.
"Your Excellency, this time you came to me for promotion, right?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, now that I'm gone, Nie Yu will be the magistrate of Xilin County!" Jia Kai said.
"Who is Nie Yu?" Lin Haoming asked in surprise.
"The man who works in the workshop in Dishan City is also a member of Master Yun Ze. Although I don't have a very close relationship with him, we are in the same place, so I shouldn't embarrass you!" Jia Kai said,
"Zhang Qifeng has been struggling for a long time, but he still didn't get what he wanted." Lin Haoming couldn't help but mocked.
"Although he didn't get what he wanted, the vacant position in the workshop belongs to him, and Gao Lan may have to take a step forward this time. Although his position remains unchanged, his official rank may be promoted to the fifth rank." Jia Kai said.
Hearing this, Lin Haoming's heart moved. As expected, for the big shots, this is all a distribution of interests, at least until there is no absolute power, it can only be like this.
"What about Liu County Cheng?" Lin Haoming asked carefully.
"He will be the Prime Minister of Zuo County from now on. Don't ask too many questions about the county affairs. Focus on helping Feng Yuzhi handle the canal affairs!" Jia Kai reminded.
"I understand!" Lin Haoming agreed, but he knew that Jia Kai couldn't come to him just to tell him these things.
Sure enough, Jia Kai soon took out a small package from his arms, handed it directly to Lin Haoming and said: "Open it and take a look!"
Lin Haoming opened the package and found a stack of deeds inside, including land deeds, house deeds, and commercial deeds. One of them turned out to be from Xifeng Tower.
"I left, but after so many years in Xilin County, I left a lot of properties behind, so they always have to be left to others to take care of!" Jia Kai said.
In fact, when Lin Haoming saw the contract, he knew Jia Kai's true intention of seeking him out, and it also showed that he really regarded him as his future brother-in-law.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll have these things taken over later!" Lin Haoming said.
"Although you are not in Xilin County, Lin Zhen in your mansion is quite capable, but can this woman be trusted?" Jia Kai asked.
When Lin Haoming saw her mentioning Lin Zhen, he naturally understood that Jia Kai must have investigated it and did not hide it: "It should be considered reliable, but this woman is a bit ambitious!"
"Don't be afraid if you are ambitious, as long as you can control it! She has helped Qiniang manage Xifeng Tower for the past ten years. Xifeng Tower's business is 30% better than before. Controlling it well is also a method!" Jia Kaifeng said sincerely.
Only then did Lin Haoming know why Jia Kai mentioned her. He didn't expect that woman to take advantage of her absence to approach Qiniang. However, thinking about it carefully, it also echoed Lin Zhen's character. After all, in her eyes, in the future,
Qiniang is the real owner of the backyard, not to mention she is Jia Kai's biological sister.
