Chapter 938 Are you surprised to see this official?
Kuang Zhaoying immediately became energetic. There were many officials involved in the corruption case. If anything could be found during the interrogation, he would definitely be able to record a crime.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xia Qing lowered his head and was thinking about how to deal with Peng Yuhao, otherwise this corruption case would really implicate him.
He had previously accepted Peng Yuhao's filial piety of 20,000 taels of silver. What should he do if Peng Yuhao could not bear the punishment of Dali Temple and surrendered himself?
No, I don't know if Peng Yuhao's house has any account books and relevant evidence. He has to send someone to destroy the account books in his house first.
As long as the account books and relevant criminal evidence are destroyed, even if Peng Yuhao confesses him, he can still argue that it is a frame-up. If he can be eliminated again, that would be great.
With a plan in mind, he thought of Jiang Shaohua, the Prime Minister of the Yousi Temple of Dali Temple. This person could come in handy now.
"Sir, the prefect sent by the imperial court has arrived and has entered the city gate!"
Mingmo entered the study and saw his master holding a portrait and looking at it.
Gu Chengyu nodded, put the portrait down, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
After a long while, he put the portrait back into the secret compartment of the desk, "Let's go! Since Ji Yan has arrived, we can't lose our etiquette."
When Gu Chengyu walked to the front yard, Lu Chen was already waiting for him in front.
"Mr. Lu is quite positive!" Gu Chengyu smiled with his skin apart and walked forward.
"Eh? Aren't I afraid that you will be late? I heard that the concubine of Lord Ji's eldest son Ji Mingxuan is the sister-in-law of your best friend Zhu Pang. Oh! My cousin is also a sister, right? You two have a roundabout relationship, why?
We are familiar with each other, so we can’t be too rude, right?”
Lu Chen thought for a while and finally figured out the relationship.
Gu Chengyu laughed and said, "It's really hard for you. Such a roundabout relationship can't escape your eyes."
The two of them walked to the outside of the government office, talking to each other.
Ming Mo followed behind, looking at the two people arguing, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan pattern.
Seven carriages drove towards the yamen gate. As soon as they arrived in front of Gu Chengyu and Gu Chengyu, they saw Ji Yan getting out of the carriage with the help of his entourage.
"Master Ji, congratulations on your promotion, Master Ji!" Lu Chen stepped forward and congratulated him first.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! I couldn't help but feel overjoyed when I heard that the imperial court was going to appoint Mr. Ji as the governor of Yingnan Prefecture. When I was in the capital, I heard that Mr. Ji was very capable and an honest official. Now Mr. Ji has arrived in Yingnan
Mansion, this Yingnan Mansion will definitely prosper under Lord Ji’s governance, it’s really gratifying and congratulatory!”
When Gu Chengyu saw Ji Yan, he quickly stepped forward to congratulate him.
As soon as these words came out, not only Ji Yan was stunned, but even Lu Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and cursed Gu Chengyu in his heart for being shameless.
Look at this talk, after all, he is a martial artist who feels inferior to himself.
Just now, I acted indifferent, even a little careless. But as soon as I saw the real person, I greeted him with a smile, and I opened my mouth when I praised him.
Ji Yan was stunned for a few breaths before he came back to his senses, "Master Gu is ridiculous, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Who in the court can't know that Master Gu has extraordinary abilities and extraordinary knowledge? How dare I do anything in front of Master Gu?
You don’t have to make people laugh out loud.”
Gu Chengyu was still smiling, and looking at the beads of sweat on Ji Yan's forehead, the smile on his face became even bigger.
Very good. Is it hot? It’s a sunny day today. It must be uncomfortable to stand under the sun, right?
"Master Ji is always so humble. I have just entered the officialdom. How inferior I am to Master Ji!"
Ji Yanqiang smiled, what was he doing? Why didn't you welcome him in?
At this moment, his underwear was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, making him very uncomfortable. Looking at Gu Chengyu standing under the eaves, Ji Yan couldn't help but wonder if Gu Chengyu did it on purpose.
When Lu Chen saw the two people talking to each other, he wished he could praise each other's ancestors for eighteen generations. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the civil servants were indeed hypocritical.
How come he doesn't know that Gu Chengyu has admired Ji Yan for a long time? This is too fake.
"I wonder why the household officials sent by the imperial court did not go to Yingnan Mansion with Mr. Ji?"
Gu Chengyu saw more and more sweat stains on the other person's face. Ji Yan had already taken out the handkerchief and wanted to wipe it but was afraid of being rude, which made him feel very happy.
Who told your son to frame me? Who told you to be an official of the Xia Qing lineage?
When he felt that it was almost done, Gu Chengyu asked about the serious matter.
"Before me, the candidates for the Ministry of Household Affairs in Jiangnan have not yet been selected. Because the post of Yingnan Prefecture Magistrate has been vacant for some time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to leave early. As for who the Ministry of Household Affairs will send and when
If we set off, then I won’t know.”
Gu Chengyu nodded understandingly, "Oh! I forgot about it. It was all because I was so happy to see Mr. Ji and we had a great conversation. I forgot that Mr. Ji was tired after traveling and traveling. Please come in quickly!"
"
It happened that my colleague Guo Haoshou went to inspect the place below. Otherwise, given the other party's temperament, he might have welcomed the person in long ago.
Several people entered the government office together. When Ji Yan turned around, his face darkened.
Lord Chief Assistant is right, this person is indeed difficult to deal with.
What kind of young man is this? He is an old man who has been in the officialdom for a long time. Does Gu Chengyu not know that he is Xia Shoufu's person? I am afraid he has already found out his details.
Even if he knew the situation, he could still greet him with a smile and chat and laugh with him for a long time. Which young man can be so calm?
It is already autumn, and even though the day is still hot and sweaty, there is still a bit of coolness in the morning.
Gu Chengyu sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to meditate. It had been three days since he left Yingnan Mansion, and he was still more than half way away from the capital.
The return trip was not urgent. Gu Chengyu walked and rested along the way. He traveled slowly during the day and stayed at a post station or inn at night. Was this considered a public trip?
"Sir! The villain has already taken me away, and it's on another carriage."
A figure flew onto the carriage, and Mingmo put down his hand on his waist because he heard a familiar voice.
Gu Chengyu slowly opened his eyes, "Where is he?"
"My lord, do you want to take this person to the carriage? He is awake at the moment." Ming Yan replied respectfully.
Gu Chengyu lifted the car curtain and saw a shade of trees in front of him, then he said: "Let everyone have a rest!"
Ming Mo looked helpless, Sir! I have rested twice this morning, why are you still resting?
An old man, whose hands and feet were bound, was trying to balance his body on the running carriage. After a while, the carriage stopped.
Had he reached his destination? What did these people want to do by arresting him? But those people recognized him?
Before he could analyze it carefully, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and then an unexpected person appeared in front of him.
