"Go down, you did a good job on this matter."
"Thank you for your grace!"
Lei Yungong knocked his head hard again, then stood up, half-hunched over, and slowly stepped back.
Moreover, on the way back, Lei Yungong always held the wooden box in his hand high. People who didn't know it thought he was holding some rare treasure.
On the other side, seeing such a flattering Lei Yungong, Liu Maoqin couldn't help but curled his lips secretly.
Lei Yaban is too good at pretending, this is clearly deceiving the officials!
The look of disdain on Liu Maoqin's face happened to be caught by Zhang Maoze, who was standing on the left.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mao couldn't help but think of two words in his heart.
Innocent!
Liu Maoqin is still a little too young.
With the wisdom of the officials, how could they not see that Lei Aban was acting?
Not only that, his disguise cannot deceive the officials, and Lei Abban probably also understands that.
But so what?
I know that you know, and you know that I know that you know, all of this is just tacit understanding.
Big shots should all be like this, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Mao couldn't help but start thinking.
Is this supposed to be a tacit understanding between the big shots?
Click till then!
This is a truth he slowly realized.
The moment he left Funing Hall, Lei Yungong had a look of pain on his face.
Money!
It's all my money!
He read the land deed carefully and saw that the shops Ding Wei had given him as a gift were not worth a thousand dollars for the shops along the East Street!
The most painful thing in the world is to lose it after you have gained it. What is even more painful is that you have to hand it over in less than a day after acquiring it!
There is no more pain in the world than this!
Greed for money is a common problem among many chamberlains, and Lei Yungong was no exception. Moreover, he was very courageous. When he was building Zhenzong's mausoleum last year, he even thought about providing burial objects.
Not only did he think about it, he also took action.
But later he secretly returned it.
He fears!
Compared with the little funerary objects that can be obtained with the buckle of the rope, the appreciation of the officials is undoubtedly more important. The greed for money is greed for money, but one cannot lose the big for the small.
Just like this time, he didn't even think about hiding it.
Who knows if the official family has other eyes and ears?
Of course, he is now a close confidant of the official family, but there are also many people staring at him.
In such a huge imperial city, how many people can serve the officials?
Just a few hundred people.
If only high-level chamberlains were counted, the number would be even smaller.
Lei Yungong also climbed up slowly from the bottom. He is very aware of other people's thoughts.
No matter how flattering others are in front of him, he won't believe it!
"well."
Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Lei Yungong sighed.
If you want to take it, you must first give it to it.
All this should be regarded as an early investment. When the day comes, his position will be completely stable. What he has lost now, he will get back a hundred times!
…
…
…
Ding Mansion.
"Sir, the things have been sent out. Lei Abban is very satisfied with the gift from the master."
As soon as Ding Wei returned from visiting friends, the chief steward immediately reported the gift to Ding Wei.
In the past, Dingji did these things.
But now, Dingji is a thing of the past.
Even if Liu Demiao was robbed, he could not blame Ding Ji, but who made Ding Wei the superior?
Sometimes a subordinate sits on the bench, not necessarily because he has made any mistake, but maybe he just committed a taboo of the superior.
That's all.
This was the case with Ding Ji. Even though Ding Wei knew that Ding Ji was not to blame, the person was taken away from Ding Ji.
This reason alone is enough to knock Dingji into the dust and never be used again!
"Um."
Ding said that he was not surprised at all when he learned that Lei Yungong was satisfied. For a prosperous shop worth thousands of gold that could be passed down to his family, dissatisfaction was only a surprise.
After nodding slightly, Ding Wei asked what he was most concerned about.
"Has the result of the government's investigation been produced?"
"A spy was found."
The butler hesitated to speak, as if he had encountered some difficulty.
"who is it?"
Ding Wei's face suddenly darkened when he saw this, and he said with a cold face: "Didn't I tell you before that no matter who you find, you must investigate to the end and never tolerate it!"
"There is a problem with a concubine beside Saburo."
When he told this matter, the chief steward showed a hint of unbearability in his eyes.
It's Saburo again!
A few days ago, Saburo's injury has not healed yet, and he is still lying on the bed. Something went wrong this time. I'm afraid...
"waste!"
Ding Wei cursed in a low voice.
He knew it!
He knew it!
There will probably be problems on Saburo's side.
Among his children, Ding Qi's behavior was the most frivolous. Day by day, he either only knew how to make money, or he was squandering the money he made.
Don’t do anything serious!
Moreover, there are a lot of bad friends and bad friends. This kind of people are a mixed bag, and they are most likely to get into trouble.
If you have too much contact with this group of unscrupulous people, will anything happen?
"What about other things? Have you found any problems?"
Ding said that he had no intention of continuing to whip Ding Qi now. The problem with the people around Ding Qi was just a trivial matter.
After all, he had already stipulated that concubines like this could not enter the gate of Ding Mansion and could only be kept in the outer room.
She couldn't even get through the gate of Ding's house, so she couldn't be the source of the news leaking that day.
"not yet."
During the conversation, the butler's face showed a bit of shame and a bit of self-blame.
Except for the inner room at home, he has no responsibilities beyond that.
Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor, since he is eating the food given by the prime minister, he should do it well.
"As soon as possible, time is running out."
Ding Wei sighed slightly, he knew how difficult it was to inspect the interior, because he set the general direction of employment in the government.
Those who are not wealthy will not even be able to pass the preliminary screening.
Therefore, all the attendants in Ding's house are all people with innocent origins, and this person has been able to hide for so long. It is not difficult to continue hiding.
In addition, the incident occurred at night, and at least half of the people were on rest, which greatly increased the difficulty of screening.
"yes."
The chief steward bowed and said yes. When he lowered his head, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
There is also not much time left for him.
As the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only his personal fortune and life, but also the fate of his family are deeply bound to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed!
If something happens to the Prime Minister, his whole family and clan will not end well.
According to what the chief steward knows, since Ding Wei took charge of the Third Division, people in the clan have benefited a lot from his status.
Although he acquiesced to this, if he didn't acquiesce, how would his son's education and travel expenses come from? Where did his clan come from with so much wealth?
That's why the chief steward is so worried.
His personal power and his family's income all come from the Prime Minister. Once something happens to the Prime Minister, he doesn't know whether the Ding family will decline accordingly.
But he himself and his family must be finished!
