Chapter 172 The relationship between master and servant
Although the queen summoned Han Jian into the palace and scolded Han Jian, she did not directly stop the Tingwei Mansion from pursuing the fugitives. The queen even sent Fengchashi to intervene in the investigation and sent the Ministry of Justice and Shenzheng to take over the case. For a moment, the city of Luoyang was in a panic.
However, the Luoyang city gate was originally blocked for three days, but the next day, the city gate quietly opened and the order in the city gradually returned to normal. All the rumors that spread among the people disappeared after the order in the city was roughly restored to normal.
Everything seemed to have nothing happened. The court arrested people was a matter of the court, and it had nothing to do with ordinary people. The Xianbei people were invading the border or in the process of committing the border, and there was no matter on both sides of the Yellow River. Luoyang City, located on the south bank of the Yellow River, was still the capital of the Wei Dynasty and the prosperity in the north.
However, Han Jian was quietly an idle person for a few days. He didn't ask about the outside world, but instead focused on his Three Kingdoms Bookstore and innovated the ink and printing technology, just like he was ready to print the next volume of Three Kingdoms comics at any time.
In a few days, Han Jian had not seen anyone behind closed doors. Mrs. Luo, who has always been mysterious, has been in and out of the Three Kingdoms Bookstore for several days, waiting for Han Jian's orders at any time.
As the financial commissioner of the former Xiliang subordinate in Luoyang City, Mrs. Luo not only has money, but also has people. Both of these things are scarce by Han Jian. As the King of the East, Han Jian has no shortage of money or manpower, but his foundation is in Jiangdu, not Luoyang City. He is in Luoyang City, and it can be said that he lacks everything. Now Mrs. Luo is just a good way to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
The reason why Mrs. Luo obeyed Han Jian's instructions was actually that she also understood that now that the old Xiliang subordinates are fighting frequently, it is difficult for her to get anything, but she would rather surrender to the Eastern King. As long as the Eastern King helps the court to overthrow the Northern King, the next one to be overthrown will be the Western King. At that time, the old Xiliang subordinates will have hope of restoring the country. Then she is likely to be the "first contribution" to the restoring of the country. According to Han Jian, she is not sure if she can be the queen.
As one of the best merchants in the capital, Mrs. Luo is very clear about the importance of power. If she does not get power, no matter how much money or people she has, she is just a pawn in the eyes of others and is played with by others. Only when she has power can she take the initiative in fate. Han Jian is a person who can give her power. She can feel that although the King of the East is young, she is cruel in doing things and will also be able to win people's hearts. In the future, the King of the East will not only shrink its power in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but Mrs. Luo even feels that Han Jian has the ability to unify the world. At that time, she can be alone, above thousands of people, and even independently become her Queen of Xiliang, but only a vassal state of the Wei Dynasty.
During these days, Han Jian was very relaxed. He rarely went out. He just stayed in the bookstore, found a chair to sit, write and draw, and could rest for a while when he was tired. You Wen'er carefully rubbed her shoulders and legs, and even asked Da Xiliu to hold the pipa and sang a song for him.
Han Jian really wanted Xiliu, big and big, to perform for him at the same time, but Xiao Xiliu never showed up after being injured in assassinating Xiwang. Later, Han Jian asked Mrs. Luo that she knew that Xiao Xiliu had gone out to do business and was not in Luoyang City. As for what to do, Han Jian did not ask in detail. Han Jian gave Mrs. Luo enough private space, and not everything was to be asked clearly. This also made Mrs. Luo feel at ease and relieved.
On the seventh day of the Tingwei Mansion chasing the fugitive, Han Jian was still in the bookstore. He sat and wrote something for a while. He asked Wen'er to rub his shoulders and admire Daxiliu's pipa singing. Han Jian was in a good mood and even made some "instructions" on Daxiliu's sing, which made Daxiliu feel a little embarrassed. Daxiliu's name is a singer. But she never felt that being a singer was her "main job". Now Han Jian was playing and singing with a pipa when she came to listen to the dispatch. While she felt a little embarrassed, she felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to ask why Han Jian looked down on her so much, but she just thought about it and didn't dare to ask.
"Young Master thinks that Xiliu's singing can still be heard?"
After Han Jian gave instructions on Da Xiliu's singing, Mrs. Luo, who had been standing by, asked with a smile.
Han Jian nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not bad."
Mrs. Luo said: "If the young master is satisfied, you might as well leave Xiliu by your side to serve you. You can play for the young master at any time to relieve your fatigue."
After Mrs. Luo said that, Daxiliu looked embarrassed, and even Han Jian glanced at Mrs. Luo. Mrs. Luo was clearly "hint" that she could keep Daxiliu by her side and "do whatever she wants".
"No need." Han Jian smiled, "Is Miss Xiliu a person who does big things, or is it more appropriate to stay with Mrs. Luo."
Hearing Han Jian say this, Da Xiliu finally breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, if she was asked to serve tea and water next to Han Jian in the future, it would be better to let her die.
When Mrs. Luo heard Han Jian's words, her face looked a little disappointed, as if she was thinking about doing something that made the East King unsatisfied.
Han Jian said quietly: "Madam Luo, I am in the capital with very few people. Now Your Majesty has clearly ordered me not to interfere in any court affairs. If I had no help from my wife, I would probably not be able to do anything. Mrs. Luo is a person who does big things."
Mrs. Luo hurriedly said, "Young Master is a pity that it is my honor to be able to serve the Young Master."
Han Jian smiled slightly and asked, "Madam Luo, I asked you to send some people a few days ago, but Is there any news about the investigation in the north of the Yellow River?"
"They are under investigation. There are about forty or fifty people sent out, all of whom are very experienced scouts. When they get the news, they will send a letter back from flying pigeons." Mrs. Luo said.
"Yeah." Han Jian nodded with satisfaction, "I'm sorry for asking Mrs. Luo to do things for me. After this, I will help you do something for you, which is mutually beneficial."
"Young master, you are polite. How dare I ask for rewards when I do things?" Mrs. Luo said this, but she wanted to know what Han Jian wanted to do for her. She really couldn't think of what Han Jian could do for her.
What she hopes most now is that Xiliang can restore the country, and Xiliang cannot restore the country, so the effect of killing the Western King is similar. However, the Eastern King obviously will not help her for the time being in these two things.
Han Jian didn't say anything clearly. He handed over the newly written draft to Daxiliu and asked Daxiliu to go out and handed it over to the master who was responsible for printing outside.
Han Jian stood up and moved his muscles and said, "It's not easy. After these busy days, I finally finished the booklet to be compiled. The next step is to print and distribute it. At that time, I will inevitably ask your wife for help."
"Yes." Mrs. Luo saluted.
"Madam, if you have nothing to do, go back first." Han Jian said, and approached Mrs. Luo and whispered, "Madam, I heard that some of your former Xiliang subordinates have just arrived in Luoyang City these days. If you see them, let them be more low-key and don't go around casually. There is no chance to take advantage of the situation."
Mrs. Luo's body was shocked. She thought that if she didn't say it, the King of the East would not know that the people from the old Xiliang subordinates came to Luoyang City. She had just learned about this that many people from the East and West branches of the Old Xiliang subordinates took advantage of the current chaos in the Wei Dynasty and sneaked into Luoyang City, hoping to take the opportunity to cause trouble. She could not interfere, and these people did not say hello to her and did not need her to entertain. Now that the King of the East said that, she had to meet these people and remind them. No matter what, these people were the people of the Old Xiliang subordinates. If something happened to them, in addition to the fact that they would not only hurt their own troops, but also make the old Xiliang subordinates and the court, which was inconsistent with their intention to temporarily oppose the King of the West and their intention to restore the country.
Although the Western King was nominally a minister of the court, half of the places in Guanzhong have now become the forbidden place of the Western King. The Western King did not need to ask the court for advice on anything. This is very similar to the situation of the Northern King. The two countries and China are not allowed by the imperial court. Therefore, in the position of excluding the Western King, the old subordinates of Xiliang even had some common points with the imperial court. There was no possibility of cooperation in this common point, but Han Jian took the manpower of Mrs. Luo, which provided such a possibility.
"Yes, young master. I know how to do it." Mrs. Luo saluted respectfully.
Han Jian smiled and left without saying anything more. Mrs. Luo sent Han Jian away, and Daxi Liu came over and prepared to go back with Mrs. Luo.
"Godmother, why did you give your daughter to the East King?" After leaving the bookstore, he helped Mrs. Luo into the sedan chair. Daxi Liu, who was accompanying outside the sedan chair, couldn't help asking.
"What do you know?" Mrs. Luo opened the wooden lattice window of the sedan chair and looked at Daxi Liu and said, "Do you think the young master said that there is no one in Luoyang City, so there is really no one?"
"What does this mean by godmother?" Daxi Liu asked in confusion.
"The East King is the Lord, and we are servants. Although the servants must obey the Lord, the relationship between the Young Master and us is different from that of ordinary master and servant. Keeping you by your side is to make you a godmother's eye so that the East King will not know anything about us, but we know nothing about the East King."
After Mrs. Luo's statement, Daxiliu immediately understood that Mrs. Luo was originally planning to give her to the King of Dong to give her a spy next to the King of Dong and to report the news about the King of Dong to Mrs. Luo.
Mrs. Luo sighed, "The King of Dong can naturally understand Wei Niang's intentions. If she doubts Wei Niang's intentions, it will be detrimental to us to live under the command of the King of Dong in the future. If you do things for the King of Dong, you must also know how to grasp the right position and not disobey the King of Dong."
"My daughter knows how to do it." Although Daxi Liu had only a little understanding of it, in order not to worry Mrs. Luo, she still said tactfully.
As Mrs. Luo and Daxi Liu returned to their homes, the popularity of the bookstore did not cool down. The master and the staff in the bookstore worked overnight to print the booklets written by Han Jian. Han Jian could take a break and go back to do what he wanted to do, mainly he was on a date with Gu Xiner.
