"They have been ordered to pick up Gao Xiaoliu." The attendant followed him and whispered, "The rich man Gao is quite cautious and insists on telling us the news after picking up Gao Xiaoliu."
Liu Yan hummed: "Don't worry, let him be happy, it doesn't matter even if he regrets it."
The attendant smiled: "Yes, at the worst, we can invite Gao Xiaoliu back, and the rich man Gao can follow him. It just means that we soldiers and guards will make two more trips and occupy a few more rooms in the cell."
What’s a big deal and what’s a loss?
It is the wealthy people who cannot afford losses.
The entourage was talking and laughing when he suddenly raised his head and was slightly startled: "Sir, where are you going?"
Previously, he had negotiated with the rich man, arranged for people to do things, and then came to see the Lord. The clerk said that the Lord had gone to the imperial city. The Minister of Dali Temple was a high-ranking official and was often summoned by His Majesty. Liu Yan could also enter the palace at any time to ask for an audience.
The entourage chased after him, thinking he was going to the imperial study, but at this moment he realized that he was going to the Xiyuan of the Imperial City, and ahead of him was the Ning'an Hall where the inner court office was located.
Mr. Liu rarely interacts with the inner court, what is he doing here?
A few of the internal servants who were standing here laughing saw it and recognized Liu Yan and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello with a smile: "What orders do you have, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Yan said: "I took over a case a few days ago, and I have some dealings with the inner treasury. I came to take a look."
That was no small matter. The inner court's treasury involved the emperor's private treasury, and the chamberlains were a little nervous.
"We'll report it right away," they said, and gave in enthusiastically. "If you don't mind, sir, come in and have a drink of tea."
Liu Yan did not take a step, but said: "No, I will wait here. You can go and report it. I don't want to see it today."
These ministers were always aloof and arrogant and did not bother to deal with their chamberlains. The chamberlains no longer forced him to sit in the pavilion.
Liu Yan did not refuse this time and sat over. A chamberlain came in to report the matter, and a chamberlain gave him new tea.
Liu Yan drank tea while looking around. Although it was not the center of the harem, the inner city was different from the sleeping palace. Wisterias were entwined and the trees were lush. It was a bit more beautiful in its grandeur.
Are you admiring the scenery, sir? The entourage stopped asking. Soon Fuquan, the eunuch in charge of the inner treasury, came in a hurry and talked to Liu Yan in the pavilion.
At the same time, the entourage saw a minor official coming to Dali Temple. He was also Liu Yan's crony. Knowing the true identity of the rich man, he hurriedly greeted him, whispered a few words not far away, and then returned to Liu Yan.
around.
Fuquan, the eunuch in charge, had already finished telling Liu Yan: "In this case, I will sort it out and send it to your lord's office."
Liu Yan nodded, stood up, and looked like he was leaving.
The attendant whispered in his ear, "I'm working as a craftsman in Xiunei..."
Liu Yan's face condensed, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
The attendant understood the look in Liu Yan's eyes. He was shocked that Mo Men had entered the imperial city without making a sound. He was also shocked when he heard the news just now.
Momen is really unpredictable and daring.
Fuquan, the eunuch in charge, didn't see Liu Yan's expression, and was about to give him a gift when he saw Liu Yan had raised his feet and turned around suddenly.
"Sir?" Fuquan asked in confusion, "Any other instructions?"
Liu Yan looked at the faintly visible wooden tower behind Ning'an Palace and said, "I..."
He just opened his mouth and his voice suddenly stopped. He looked forward and seemed to be stunned.
What's wrong? Fuquan followed Liu Yan's line of sight and saw several craftsmen walking over there. They were all familiar people, including the leader, Liu Tongshi, and the girl Ah Qi.
Miss Ah Qi held a stack of brochures in her hands, which were so high that she almost blocked her chin, but she walked steadily with her hands and feet, and several craftsmen talked as they walked.
Suddenly seeing Liu Yan and others standing here, Liu Tongshi also stopped for a moment, and when he saw the craftsmen who were talking in a low voice, they also stopped.
The atmosphere fell into a strange stagnation for a moment.
Qixing lowered her gaze slightly, but she could still feel the gaze of the red-robed official opposite her falling on her face.
Her hand held the booklet steadily without raising it to cover it.
The sound of Fuquan in my ears broke the stagnation.
"Old Liu, are you here to get something?"
Liu Tongshi also recovered from the strange stagnation, nodded in agreement, saluted Liu Yan again, and asked belatedly: "Come to check the materials, are you disturbing the adults?"
Without waiting for a reply, the upright craftsman added another sentence.
"We have a tight construction schedule."
Fuquan laughed. He also knew the habits of these craftsmen, so he said along the way: "Then we can't delay... Mr. Liu, it won't affect your business, right?"
Liu Yan's voice seemed to come from a distance: "It won't affect it."
Fuquan waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Liu Tongshi stopped being polite and walked past these people towards the inner treasury.
Qixing held the book and followed slowly, feeling that the line of sight was floating like a thread, but it always stayed behind him until he passed through the gate and saw the palaces cutting off his line of sight.
"Sir?" Fuquan asked again, looking at Liu Yan who looked dull and seemed to be in a trance, "What other orders do you have? Why don't you go in and take a look now?"
Liu Yan's eyes fell on his face and he shook his head: "No, I have something else to do." After that, he turned around.
The attendant couldn't help but look at him.
You made the wrong turn, you should go west, the Star Gazing Pavilion is on the west side.
But Liu Yan, who turned around, did not take a step, and his eyes froze again.
This time, not only Liu Yan froze, but Fuquan also froze, looking at the dark and golden person appearing in his sight.
"Captain--" he stammered, stooping low and greeting you with a big smile, "Why are you here? You can just call me if you have any orders, but why are you here in person?"
Huo Lian didn't look at him, but looked at Liu Yan and asked, "What is Mr. Liu doing here?"
Liu Yan raised his feet and walked over slowly: "Official business at Dali Temple."
Huo Lian said oh, looked past him and looked inside, as if she was about to go in.
"Master Huo came just in time." Liu Yan stopped in front of him and said, "I have something to ask you, sir."
Without waiting for Huo Lian to speak, he stretched out his hand to invite her.
"Please come to Dali Temple to discuss it in detail."
Huo Lian glanced at him and nodded: "Okay." After saying that, she turned around and walked forward.
Liu Yan walked slowly behind. His entourage looked back with a complicated expression, but did not say anything and followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, the two adults disappeared from sight one after another. Fuquan patted his stomach and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that something seemed to have happened, but it seemed that nothing had happened.
…
…
"Master Temple Minister is gone?"
Liu Tongshi led the craftsmen out of the inner warehouse, saw Fuquan sitting on the porch drinking tea, and asked.
Fuquan laughed and said, "This is not a good place, and adults won't stay here for long."
Liu Tongshi patted his heart: "It will be better to stay soon. Mr. Liu looks really scary."
The chamberlain next to him smiled: "Master Liu is not scary. Guess who else came later?"
Liu Tongshi was surprised: "Is there anyone else coming?"
Qixing, who was standing behind him, also looked over, seemingly curious.
"Dudu Huo," the chamberlain whispered, and then saw the shock on Liu Tongshi's face with satisfaction.
"Dudu Huo is here too?" Liu Tongshi's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and grabbed Fuquan's arm, "I said Fuquan, have you done something serious?"
Fuquan stared at what he said: "Old Liu, what are you talking about? What did I do?"
Liu Tongshi looked at him with a complicated expression: "You haven't committed any crime. The Minister of Dali Temple and the Governor of Duchasi are looking at you. Are they free?"
Fuquan stammered for a moment: "No, no, I'm free. Mr. Liu is investigating a case and needs to look at the account books. Governor Huo, Governor Huo... Before he could say anything, he was called away by Mr. Liu. He was busy with more important things.
Yes, it shows that why you come to us is not important."
Liu Tongshi shook his head, looked at him and said nothing, patted his arm with some sympathy, turned around and called other craftsmen: "Let's go, there is still work to do."
The craftsmen responded and walked past. The female craftsman Ah Qi also looked at him, not sure if she was curious or sympathetic.
The scary adults and upright craftsmen have all gone, and the surroundings have returned to quiet, but Fuquan can't sit down anymore, and the fragrant tea he just drank left a bitter taste in his mouth. He stretched out his hand to press his heart, his expression
It also turned gray.
Yes, two scary adults came, and they acted strangely and didn't say anything.
