Chapter 83 The Bing Niang's Wonderful Place
Zhong Wei returned to the yamen with a smile.
He reported to the county magistrate's office, but the county magistrate's office. According to the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrate's office was able to view the overall situation of a county, but these servants were actually directly under the county magistrate's office.
County Wei Yuan Highway frowned and sat in the study, as if he had something to worry about.
Zhong Wei shouted outside. Yuan Highway didn't want to see him, but then he changed his mind: "Let him come in."
After Zhong Wei walked into the study, he looked at Yuan Highway carefully and found that Yuan Highway was still weak and desperate, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.
A few days ago, Yuan Highway was so energetic that he walked as fast as the wind, because he received the correct letter. It is said that someone would take over him in the spring of the next year. He would be promoted, and he might even skip the county magistrate and be promoted directly to an official position such as another. But as the New Year was about to be sealed, Yuan Highway changed its mood overnight. There was no more than one official or a servant, but he was beaten and scolded by him because of a small mistake.
With Ye Chang's blessing and Zhong Wei have had a good relationship with Yuan Highway recently. Although he was not beaten, he was scolded several times.
Seeing that Yuan Highway was still like this, Zhong Wei was uneasy. If this continues, he is afraid that he will be beaten.
Yuan Shaofu clearly had something difficult to do. He had no choice but to seek help from others, so this was why.
He thought about how to make Yuan Highway happy, and then he remembered the case today.
"Shao Mansion, today I encountered something interesting in front of the city gate." He said, seeing that Yuan Highway was still uninterested, he added: "It has something to do with Ye Chang and Ye Langjun."
"Oh... let's talk about it." Yuan Highway was still listless, but he didn't get angry immediately.
Zhong Wei said the three people were fighting for their fortunes and Ye Changxi's final decision. Even though Yuan Highway was full of thought, he heard Ye Chang whip the "Brother Sheep Whip" and let him go, but he couldn't help but smile: "This Ye Shiyilang is a ghost elves..."
"It is rumored that Ye Shiyilang has helped him and has learned all kinds of Taoism." Zhong Wei glanced at Yuan Highway again and said carefully: "Is there any problem with the Shaofu recently? Although I am not wise, the Shaofu has been acquainted with Ye Langjun, why not ask Ye Langjun to give advice to the Shaofu?"
Yuan Highway heard this and his eyes lit up, and he was moved: "Where is the Eleven Lang?"
"Purchase New Year's goods in the market."
"He was prepared early...I'll go see him...No, you go and invite him to meet him, be careful, don't let others know."
Zhong Wei turned around and left after hearing this. He soon arrived at the city. At this time, the city was close to the end of the year, and there were only a thousand people! He turned around for a long time and finally saw Ye Chang. Seeing Ye Chang's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.
Ye Chang held a handful of candied haws in his hand, following Xiang'er like a follower. Xiang'er held one with his left hand and one with his right hand, licking the left and sucking the right, as if Ye Chang was a servant, and she was a lady from a wealthy family.
"Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun, since I entered the city today, I would not say that I would like to entertain Ye Langjun for a meal, thanking you for your kind words." Zhong Wei shouted from afar.
Ye Chang looked at him and waved his hand with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhong, you saw me, I came to buy New Year's goods, but I was full of this... I really don't have time today, so I'd better spare it."
"Tomorrow, someone sent someone to deliver New Year's goods to Langjun, and today I will definitely go with him." Zhong Wei shouted: "If you don't go with him, you will not give him face!"
Ye Chang had a few times to deal with him, and they were very familiar with each other. He knew that he had always been cautious, but today he was a little surprised. Then he saw Zhong Wei wink at him. Ye Chang immediately understood that he had not invited each other in front of the city gate just now. There should be something else to do when he came to invite him at this time.
"Okay, Xiang'er, let's go here first and go to dinner with Zhong Jie. What do you think?"
"If I have this, I have already purchased the New Year's goods. I will follow my husband wherever I go." Xiang'er shook the candied haws.
Ye Chang followed the officials eastward and turned to the side door of the county magistrate's office. The side door was open. After Zhong Wei led him in, he saw the ghost head and mind looking over the Yuan Highway.
"Shao..." Ye Chang was about to greet him, but Yuan Highway raised his fingers to his lips and shrewd softly.
He left Xiang'er and Zhong Wei outside, of course, the handful of candied haws was now taken by Zhong Wei, and Ye Chang and Yuan Highway entered a side room.
"Shao Mansion, why did you become like this?"
After He Zhizhang left last time, Ye Chang and Yuan Highway met several times. Now it has only been about twenty days since the previous meeting. However, Yuan Highway not only lost a lot of weight, but also looked like he was ten years older!
"this……"
Yuan Highway looked at Ye Chang and hesitated a little.
When Ye Chang was playing the trick of Bodhisattva trial, he saw through it. He felt that this young man was too brave. Although he was full of wit, he would sooner or later have such courage to ruin himself. Later, he learned that he had caused quite a lot of storms when he entered Chang'an, and even met real big figures such as Princess Yuzhen and the prefect of Jingzhao Han Chaozong, Yuan Gaolu's attitude towards him changed again: With these backend support, he would not be afraid of playing more.
But today's affairs are difficult to talk about.
"Since we met the Shaofu, the Shaofu has helped us a lot. Although he was frivolous, he was not an ungrateful person." Ye Chang knew that the official voice of Yuan Highway was not bad, and he was also a capable official. And as he said, on several more critical things, Yuan Highway helped him, at least opened a door of convenience for him. Therefore, he said sincerely: "I feel that my voice is very tight. If the Shaofu can trust me, just say it to me."
"well……"
Yuan Highway hesitated for a while, and finally started with a sigh and spoke.
"The county lieutenant seal is lost."
"If you lose it, you will lose it...what?"
Ye Chang originally wanted to say that it was just a loss to report the loss, but then he realized that losing a seal could make Yuan Highway so troublesome, but I am afraid that it would not be solved by posting a revelation of objects or missing announcements.
"You have not become an official, so you don't know that losing the official seal is a serious crime. I was going to be transferred to the magistrate of another county in the beginning of spring, but I just lost the official seal here!" Yuan highway paused and said: "Losing the official seal is not only... not only promotion, but also imprisonment!"
Ye Chang frowned.
This is not a pediatric department like sheep, it is a big trouble!
"Who keeps the seal of the Shaofu official on weekdays?"
"I can't trust others, and my official seals are all self-controlled. Usually, I tie cotton to my wrist and put them in my sleeves. I hide them after I leave the yamen every day."
"Can you know the specific time when the Shaofu lost the official seal?"
"I know, it was ten days ago, I had to rest that day and I had never used the seal. When I went to the seal to collect the seal the next day, I found that the seal had been lost."
Hearing this, Ye Chang was basically sure that the seal was not lost, but stolen. Yuan Highway must have understood this, but he was still lucky and unwilling to say it out.
Loss and theft are two different things. Loss means that it is possible to be retrieved, while theft means that it falls into the hands of others and may become a tool used by others to deal with oneself at any time!
"The young mansion has not used seals these days?"
"One of the year, the business is less than usual, and I use less seals. Secondly, I have been pretending to be sick during these days. If I can do it, I will delay it if I can..." Yuan Gaolu said with a wry smile: "If I continue like this, I will not need to dress up soon."
"In other words, the other party did not launch it immediately, and even made a statement. It seems that the other party is still waiting for an opportunity..."
"He is waiting. When the seal of the yamen is closed at the end of the year, I will show the official seal to everyone. At that time, if I can't take out the things..."
Speaking of this, Yuan Highway's body shook unnaturally, his eyes full of fear.
He was about to rise high, but he encountered such a thing before he rose high. How could he not frighten him and be desperate!
"Can you take someone to the place where you can hide the seal?" Ye Chang asked again.
What happened ten days ago must have been destroyed on the scene. Even if it was not destroyed, Ye Chang could not find out who stole the official seal of Yuan Highway with a little clue. All he needed was to observe the situation on the scene and speculate whether it was an external thief or an internal thief.
"No need, where I hid the seal, it was in the study room, which was right beside my bed. As long as there was some movement here, I could hear it, but there was nothing that night."
Ye Chang thought for a long time, and suddenly asked, "The Yuan Shaofu was in office as Xiuwu, and he had never heard the Shaofu mention his family... I wonder where the Shaofu's wife is?"
"The parents at home are old and sick, and I am the only son, so I stayed in my hometown and did not follow me."
"Then can there be a maid serving the bed?"
When Yuan Highway heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm quite sick."
That is lust. Since you are lustful, there must be people who are sleeping. As long as someone is sleeping, Yuan Gonglu thinks that the official seal hidden in secret will definitely be noticed.
"Who are there any sleeper?"
"This, all three maids brought to the family, uh, are there."
It turns out that he is lustful. Ye Chang has seen those three maids. They all look quite like the Tang Dynasty, but they do not suit Ye Chang's taste.
"These three girls were brought by Duke Yuan from his hometown, and they were honored, disgraceful, and good fortune. They were like the young man in the same boat as the young mansion. The mistake was not that the young mansion was extremely unfair, so they made them rebellious. Otherwise, they would not have been involved in this matter... How would the young mansion treat these three women?"
"After you have been promoted, you will become a concubine."
With just this sentence, Ye Chang understood that these three maids would not be the ones who moved the official seal. He frowned again: "Is there anything besides her three?"
Yuan Highway hesitated for a while, and this expression proved Ye Chang's conjecture. Ye Chang asked: "Why should I hide it from the young mansion? Do you have to do important things? Don't be afraid of medical treatment!"
"There is another girl who has also been in...uh, she has been sleeping, but it has been a while, which happened more than a month ago." Speaking of this, Yuan Highway has some periods: "And there is only one time, this...this shouldn't be the case?"
"Who is this woman?"
Yuan Highway refused to say this time. Seeing him feeling embarrassed, Ye Chang knew that the woman's identity was a little unusual. He smiled bitterly and said, "Shao Mansion, it is not someone who intends to inquire about the private affairs of the Shao Mansion. The promotion is the Shao Mansion, and the person who throws the seal and discusses the crime, the Shao Mansion!"
Yuan Highway finally couldn't bear it anymore. He gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out of his mouth: "More than a month ago, it was the day when He Gong disturbed Ye Langjun, and I drank Ye Langjun's nectar wine. I didn't realize it in Wolong Valley, but after returning to the county town, I was very drunk... Well, at this time, the county clerk heard that the wife of Tailai, Luo, happened to be here. I recognized the wrong person after drinking... and called Luo Bing... This is her boyfriend's name..."
It is really worthy of being an official, and his nonsense skills are easy to take, which puts the blame on Ye Chang's nectar wine. Ye Chang secretly complained in his heart, and even admitted the wrong person after drinking. He clearly had a mess after drinking, and even knew the name of the other person's boudoir. Moreover, the woman came to visit at night, maybe the two of them had sex and became a gangster!
"She has her own husband, and I have her own wife. It is not appropriate to have a party all night. How can she make mistakes again and again?" Yuan Gaolu said seriously: "So from now on, she will live again."
"Do you know about this when the clerk knows about this?"
"This... I shouldn't know, at least I didn't show anything unusual..." Yuan Highway hesitated.
"Then are there anyone else?"
"What other people?"
"It's someone who may know where you hide the official seal."
"I can't remember..."
Ye Chang thought for a while whether it was the Wenshuoist. There were too few clues at present, so he couldn't say it, but at least the most suspected person at the moment was Wenshuoist.
But why didn’t he have an attack a month ago, but now it is?
It did not occur a month ago, because it should be because it was afraid of the power of the Yuan highway. Now it occurs... There must be another reason.
"Wen Tai has been closer to whom in recent days?" Ye Chang thought of this and asked again.
"With Han Jun, the Mu Guest of County Magistrate Feng..."
"I heard that the Young Mansion is about to be promoted, what about Feng Ming Mansion?" Ye Chang suddenly thought of a detail when he heard this: "Didn't Feng Ming Mansion say that he could be promoted by the court before? "Is it possible for Feng Ming Mansion to be promoted?"
Yuan Highway finally felt a little proud: "Although he was working hard, he failed to succeed in the end."
He was able to be proud at this time. Ye Chang could imagine that when news that he could be promoted but County Magistrate Feng could not be heard back, he would have to show off in front of County Magistrate Feng to show his anger over the years.
If the two compete for the same official position, then County Magistrate Feng is not only envious and jealous, but also afraid he will still be hated.
"Did the Ming Mansion know about the private meeting between Shaofu and Luo Fu?" Ye Chang asked another key question.
Yuan Highway's face changed at this time.
County Magistrate Feng knew about this. Although the two had a bad personal relationship, they did not break up. Sometimes they would chat and talk together, and they would not be able to enjoy the prosperity. Just over ten days ago, County Magistrate Feng praised the clerk and said, Yuan Gaolu accidentally said, "There is even more wonderful things in his wife"!
"Could it be... Could it be that Feng County colluded with Wen Jianjian?" He said in surprise: "If this is true, what will I do?"
"Feng Ming's Mansion may also promise to hear that the clerk is rich and noble. When the clerk sends someone to do it, it may be his own hands." Ye Chang said: "It's just that the clerk should not hand over the official seal to Feng Ming's Mansion at this time. Even if he wants to hand over the clerk, Feng Ming's Mansion will not accept this evidence!"
Yuan Gaolu thought about it and felt sweating profusely. If these two people really colluded to plot against him, then it would be more than just a loss of ability. Understanding this, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Ye Chang.
