Chai Yan smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, it's getting late, let's set off first, and we'll talk about other things later on the way."
Wu Sansheng couldn't help but was startled, and immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, let's go, we have to go quickly!"
With that said, Wu Sansheng continued to prepare for departure.
Hang Baiqiu said to Chai Yan unhappily: "These bad soldiers are not beaten at all!"
Chai Yan smiled and shook his head, and was busy preparing for departure.
"Miss Hang..."
At this time, Yao Zheng's wife came over.
Hang Baiqiu turned around and asked, "Sister, are you scared?"
The two of them had a good chat yesterday. Hang Baiqiu felt that calling her sister-in-law or madam was too offensive, so he simply called her sister.
Yao Zheng's wife said: "Miss Hang, it turns out you are so powerful!"
Hang Baiqiu smiled modestly, and then shook his head.
The second baby and the third sister also ran back to Hang Baiqiu at this time, shouting "Aunt Qiu is so amazing".
With the children's shouts of joy, the open space in front of the house suddenly became lively.
After the preparations were completed, the three cars finally started and continued towards Hukou Town before leaving Yao Zheng's home.
Not long after, Wu Sansheng, who had doubts in his mind, walked over to Chai Yan.
At this time, Wu Sansheng's attitude towards Chai Yan had changed. As soon as he came to him, he bowed his hands and said hello politely.
Chai Yan also nodded to him calmly, but did not take the initiative to speak.
Wu Sansheng said in a low voice: "Master Chai, I have been thinking just now, should I call you Sir instead?"
Chai Yan said calmly: "Shopkeeper Wu, you should just call me the same as before."
"I understand, Mr. Chai." Wu Sansheng agreed immediately.
In fact, Wu Sansheng had no intention of changing his words. What he said was just to give him a beginning.
Wu Sansheng asked again: "May I ask Mr. Chai, which yamen in Beijing he serves?"
"Capital Wude Division."
Chai Yan answered in a very calm tone, but Wu Sansheng was very shocked after hearing this. He thought to himself, no wonder those big soldiers looked like that just now. It turned out that they saw his Wude Si waist badge!
Chai Yan saw that Wu Sansheng suddenly lost his voice, so he turned to look at him and found that he was thinking about something in shock, so he casually asked: "Shopkeeper Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Sansheng came back to his senses, shook his head quickly and said: "No...nothing, I'm just a little surprised...surprised..."
Chai Yan tried to be as relaxed as possible and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, in fact, when we went to Lintai Mountain, we just walked around casually, which is what I meant above. It was almost like a formality. When the time is enough, we will go back. You don't want to go back."
It’s so complicated, haha..."
"So that's it. I understand, I understand..."
Wu Sansheng said this verbally, but in reality he didn't believe what Chai Yan said at all. According to his understanding, it was impossible for the people from Wudesi to wander around. They must have some reason or purpose to appear in one place!
Next, Wu Sansheng chatted with Chai Yan again, talking about what delicious food there is in the capital, and what good things to see and do in the capital. However, Chai Yan felt that Wu Sansheng should be cautious when facing him.
I have learned a lot, and my awe has also increased a lot. When chatting with me, I always feel that it is more about flattering and flattering, and I can't get closer to others.
However, Chai Yan was not unhappy, because this is human nature. People in the world are afraid of officials, not to mention that he is an official who is in charge of officials. It is already good that he can be so careful and keep a distance to cater to him.
After a while, an apprentice boy in front called Wu Sansheng, and Wu Sansheng immediately responded loudly, then accused Chai Yan and left quickly.
As soon as Wu Sansheng left, Cheng Jiu jumped down from Yu Tie, who was driving, and said, "Sir, please sit down for a while. We have been walking for so long."
Chai Yan was indeed tired from walking, so he got on the carriage and sat down, took a water bag and drank some water.
Hang Baiqiu's voice came from behind the car curtain: "Jiang Yongshuang from the Yaozhou Guard Camp has cleverly set up a name to collect some kind of bandit suppression tax without authorization. Do you have to inquire after arriving at Hukou Town?"
Chai Yan swallowed his saliva and turned to the side of the car and said, "What you mean is that you want me to mind my own business and offend others..."
Hang Baiqiu's voice suddenly became stern: "Secretary Chai, since you are an official of the Wude Department, you should bear the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor! Jiang Yongshuang exploited the people's money in the name of suppressing bandits, shouldn't he investigate
?”
"Check! Of course we should check!" Chai Yan replied immediately, with a firm tone.
Hang Baiqiu's voice suddenly paused, and then he asked: "Since it is time to investigate, why do you still say you are nosy?"
Chai Yan immediately asked: "Did I make a mistake? A few of us were obviously going to Lintai Mountain for sightseeing. It would be better for you to suddenly ask me to check on Jiang Yongshuang from the Yaozhou Guard Camp. There is no such order from above, so we are not supervising
What’s the idle business?”
"Chai Yan, you..."
At the same time, Hang Baiqiu opened the car curtain with a "swish" and stared at him angrily.
Chai Yan glanced at Hang Baiqiu and said calmly: "Keep your voice down, others are watching..."
Hang Baiqiu raised his eyes and looked ahead, and sure enough, everyone in Wu Sansheng was looking back frequently.
As soon as Hang Baiqiu stopped her hand, the car curtain fell down, and then she said in a solemn tone: "Sir Chai, as an official of the Wude Department, no matter where you go, even if you go to the end of the world or to the end of the world, as long as you are still
Within the borders of Shengguo, such things must be investigated!"
Chai Yan said nothing and his expression became serious.
After a while, Hang Baiqiu said again: "Sir Chai, if you feel that you are nosy and are afraid of offending others, it doesn't matter. You don't need to go, I will check it myself!"
Chai Yan's eyebrows tightened, thinking that you are no longer the commander of Wude Division, why haven't your mental state changed accordingly? You must be so stubborn!
Chai Yan then asked: "Sir Hang, your current position is the head of the female bodyguard in the prince's palace. Are you going to check? What are you going to check?"
"You don't need to worry about it, I have my own way!" Hang Baiqiu's tone was very cold, as if he and Chai Yan were about to die.
Chai Yan fell into silence. He turned to look at Cheng Jiu. Cheng Jiu immediately pretended not to know and turned away to avoid looking.
Chai Yan went to see Yu Tie and Guan Maochun again. Like Cheng Jiu, they also immediately avoided it. None of the three wanted to get involved.
Chai Yan sighed secretly, lifted the curtain and said: "Sir Hang, please get out of the car. I have something to say to you alone..."
After that, Chai Yan jumped out of the car, then slowed down his walking speed and came to the back of the car.
Soon, Hang Baiqiu also got out of the carriage, and the two immediately walked to the same place.
Hang Baiqiu was in a bad mood. He glanced at Chai Yan and looked away, saying unhappily: "If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Chai Yan asked: "Sir Hang, you want to investigate Jiang Yongshuang for taxing and exploiting people privately, right?"
"Yes!" Hang Baiqiu replied affirmatively.
Chai Yan asked again: "What if...I'm talking about just in case...in case this matter is not private, but the people above, his superiors have already
Where is the tacit consent?”
Hang Baiqiu was suddenly surprised and asked in surprise: "What do you mean by saying this?"
