If it weren't for Liao Mingsheng's reminder, Liu Yu would have forgotten that there was Ling Xiu'er in Dongning Mansion, who was Ling Daoqi's eldest daughter, and now he was considered the daughter of a criminal.

If it were other Confucian officials and great Confucians, some of them might have been framed by Liao Mingsheng, but Ling Daoqi's crime was a fact that Ling Daoqi was a stubborn crime. Liu Yu knew that Ling Daoqi had a connection with King Su Zhe of Chu. The enemy's relatives were enemies to Liu Yu. Although the disaster was not as good as his wife and children, Liu Yu also regarded Ling Xiu'er as an enemy.

She is not only an enemy, but also a very beautiful woman. For Liu Yu, these are enough.

Liu Yu was silent for a moment, then glanced at Liao Mingsheng for a while and said, "You can arrange this matter."

Liao Mingsheng knew that Liu Yu was satisfied with his arrangement and showed a look of relief on his face. He said that he would do his job well and retreated.

Liu Yu looked at the sky. It was only half way before the afternoon. He couldn't sleep if he wanted to rest for a while. These two days of travel were nothing compared to long-distance trips on the grassland or Lingnan. He was still in high spirits now.

There is still some time before the night comes. Liu Yu is idle and wants to go out for a walk in Dongning Prefecture to learn about the local people's livelihood.

This is not the first time that Liu Yu has taken to the streets of Dongning Mansion. Last time he came, Liu Yu also visited Dongning Mansion at night. This time he came out, it was blue sky and the lively level of Dongning Mansion was much worse than before.

The political chaos in Huaibei Province will spread from the government to the people, and the government is observing this power struggle, so many local affairs will be negligent, which will indirectly affect local stability. Under such circumstances, there will be more bandits in the local area and no one will regulate the prices. The market is originally a primitive market that is almost bartered. It cannot withstand such torture, so it will be depressed.

After Liu Yu walked along the street with his guards, feeling a sense of desolate helplessness, he also felt that he should quickly end the power struggle and calm the people of Huaibei Province. This is in line with the national policy of the court to recuperate.

Liu Yu walked a long way and didn't want to leave anymore. He really had nothing to see, so he said to Qu Zhu: "Old Qu, go buy some things back. I want to try the local specialties, and ask how the prices are. I'll summarize and submit them to me."

Qu Zhu understood Liu Yu's intention, and wanted him, the intelligence minister, to spy on people's livelihood, so he took the order.

Liu Yu returned to the palace and happened to meet Liao Mingsheng and a few minor officials. When he saw Liu Yu, Liao Mingsheng quickly saluted and introduced Liu Yu to the following minor officials.

Liu Yu looked at a few insignificant officials. He guessed that it was Liao Mingsheng's former subordinates who were now brought to seek political capital for him. Since Liao Mingsheng would bring them here, he must have wanted him to promote these people.

Liu Yu casually said a few words and asked Liao Mingsheng to come in with him alone. Liao Mingsheng first flattered him and said a lot of compliments, but Liu Yu didn't listen to a single word.

"Mingsheng, I would like to remind you that you will go to Chang'an City soon. I am using you as a person, not asking you to form cliques. You must understand that forming cliques is undesirable in the court..."

Liao Mingsheng was shocked. He originally thought that bringing a few minor officials over would get Liu Yu's praise, which would make Liu Yu feel that he was looking for more people to help. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu came up and warned him to restrain himself and form cliques.

"The officials understand that these people... are all called by the officials to help deal with the case... Prince, you also know that the officials are single and weak and need some help. When the matter is done, they will still do the original thing..."

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be too harsh. If you have made contributions to the court, I will remember their contributions. After the matter is over, I will ask for rewards on the merits and give them the rewards they deserve..."

Liu Yu was depressed by Liao Mingsheng and gave him a sweet date, which made Liao Mingsheng feel relieved. Although he really wanted to bring a group of people into Chang'an City to help him with his work, Liu Yu didn't want to, and he didn't dare to mention it anymore. Now Liu Yu promised to ask for rewards on the merits and asked the group of people he found to be promoted. He gave him an explanation to those people. When he thought, even if he wanted to use them, he could gradually find an opportunity to promote them to the Beijing official in the future.

It is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree, but if his tree has no branches and leaves, it is not considered a big tree.

"Thank you for the promotion..."

Liu Yu nodded and asked Liao Mingsheng to submit the list of some local officials. Liao Mingsheng hesitated for a while. For a person who is very good at guessing his thoughts, he did not have enough control over Liu Yu's thoughts, and sometimes he did not understand what Liu Yu did.

"Prince, this local official... seems to be out of the jurisdiction of the lower officials, you..."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Mingsheng, have you never summed up who they all?"

What Liu Yu said directly hit Liao Mingsheng's weakness. In fact, Liao Mingsheng had to climb up in the past and knew everything about the officialdom in Huaibei Province. He had to find out any changes in the officialdom and make records. Such cautious actions eventually aroused the disgust of those Confucian officials, who felt that he was too scheming.

Liao Mingsheng did not defend himself and said, "I'm going to prepare for you, the prince..."

Soon, Liao Mingsheng handed the booklet of the connections and connections of the officialdom in Huaibei to Liu Yu. When Liu Yu saw this booklet, he immediately thought of the booklet of officials that Han Sheng gave him. The records were too detailed, and even the preferences of officials and family members were clearly recorded. This was a very thoughtful thing.

In the past, Han Sheng was the chief of the intelligence bureau of the court, and there were many people under his command, so it was not difficult to investigate these things, but Liao Mingsheng was just a county magistrate and had no great manpower and material resources. He actually investigated the matter so thoroughly, which shows his ability. However, this ability is sometimes not used on the right path.

Liu Yu also looked at it in detail. In Liao Ming's promotion list, not all of the officials who had a tribute with him would be defeated by him. As for whether he didn't go to the fight or could not find evidence, Liu Yu didn't know that there were many flatterers who were "same kind" as Liao Mingsheng, but were imprisoned by Liao Mingsheng, and many "comrades" were implicated. This surprised Liu Yu.

Liu Yucao looked at it and closed the booklet and said: "This time, the Huaibei officialdom has undergone a major change and there are many vacancies. I will transfer a group of officials from Chang'an City and promote a group of people from the local area. Mingsheng, do you have any suggestions?"

Liu Yu asked about the officialdom. This time Liao Mingsheng understood Liu Yu's thoughts very much and smiled and said, "The prince has no suggestions. Who should the prince use? The prince can just cooperate."

Liu Yu nodded slightly. In fact, Liu Yu was also using this method to remind Liao Mingsheng, don’t worry about your extradition. If you interfere and don’t interfere, then you are asking for trouble.

Liu Yu stood up and said, "It's getting late. Mingsheng, please take me to see Miss Ling..."
