It is not surprising that Han You asked the local prefect one after another.
The prefect is the number one in command and has absolute power in a city. He can usually mobilize troops to prepare for the prefecture, and can mobilize the officers and soldiers of the prefecture at special times. Tongzhi is only the second in command. In theory, Tongzhi can say anything and do anything. For any government order issued, the prefect can reject it with just one sentence.
Lu Chengmin didn't think much about it, and explained with a smile: "You Da is feeling cold and ill, so he is resting in the house for a while."
Han You had a smile on his face, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
Occasionally feel cold, which in common parlance is caused by picornaviruses such as rhinovirus, Echovirus, Coxsackie virus, etc., which can cause symptoms such as severe chills, mild fever, headache, body aches, stuffy nose, runny nose, cough, thin white tongue coating, floating and tight pulse, etc. , in professional terms, it’s called catching a cold by accident.
As soon as Lu Chengmin said he felt cold, Han You knew what he meant.
In Beijing, in the court, and in various government offices, this is also the most common disease.
Occasionally feeling cold is usually caused by many factors such as failure to criticize, humiliation in court, poor reputation, waiting at home, or before submitting a letter to resign.
Officials are not very creative either. They occasionally feel the cold when they hide themselves when something happens.
"It turns out he's sick."
Han You took a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed: "Originally, the student had important matters to discuss. Since he is ill... I wonder if it is convenient for him to see guests. I will go to the mansion to visit him."
In addition to the occasional cold that made Han You very sensitive, Lu Chengmin also said that You Mingtang rested in "Fuzhong" after being ill.
When I came here last time, everyone knew where the mansion of You Mingtang came from. He lived in the backyard of the government office. The whole family lived here. Official affairs were approved in the front, and the old ladies bathed the children in the back. Tang, if you have time, you have to go to the backyard to help Master You Ben dry clothes.
"I'm afraid that I might disappoint the young master, but Master You's residence is not in the city."
Lu Chengmin stood up and filled a new cup of tea for Han You, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhao has something to discuss, you can also contact me. I can take charge of all government affairs in the city, especially..."
"What is it?"
"This is a matter about Three Seasons Villa. I have full authority to make the decision."
"Oh, Three Seasons Villa?" Han You asked, pretending to be casual: "Students thought this place of play in the city was called Four Seasons Villa."
"One word difference makes a world of difference. Three Seasons Villa has the surname Yong, but also other surnames. If it is Four Seasons Villa..."
Lu Chengmin showed an expression that you know: "That would be that person's surname. If it were that person's surname, Mr. Zhao would not come all the way."
Han You showed an expression of sudden realization but Ji Feo didn't understand.
"By the way, I almost forgot to ask Mr. Zhao his name despite knowing his incredible background."
"Wang...Zhao Hai."
When he heard the name "Zhao Hai", a trace of disappointment flashed across Lu Chengmin's face.
You must know that the names of children from aristocratic families are very particular. The more wealthy the family, the more particular they are in choosing their names, at least most of them are. In short, I have never heard of any child from an aristocratic family named Wang Zixuan, Li Tony, or Liu. Dog courage.
The word "sea" is relatively casual.
Han You added: "My father's name is Zhao Xiong."
Lu Chengmin's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stood up and saluted again: "It turns out that he is the son of Mr. Zhao. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so blind. I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that Mr. Zhao... would be so big." origin."
Han You laughed and laughed, blackmailing Lao Zhao for more than two million dollars and almost three million dollars. It didn't matter if he called people behind his back, "Daddy".
"I never thought of it, I really never thought of it."
Lu Chengmin tried his best to conceal the ecstasy in his heart: "This business in Yongcheng can impress the Zhao family and Mr. Zhao..."
After a pause, Lu Chengmin seemed to have thought of something, and asked quietly: "Is it possible that the Zhao family is also going to make an effort?"
Han You showed a "guess" expression.
"That's it, that's it." Lu Chengmin became more and more excited when he said it: "Okay, okay, I know that the evil villain will not be arrogant for a few days. There are so many knowledgeable people in the capital working together, and Zhao Shizhong is in charge of the court. There are many famous scholars and scholars in Lin, plus the Zhao family, why worry about not being able to get rid of that evil villain."
Han You couldn't help but look sideways at Wang Hai, the evil villain...which one?
Wang Hai looked at Han You calmly. Don't doubt, he is the evil villain you thought.
"Go and call Lao Jiang and the others."
Han You said something incoherently, Wang Hai said "yes", carried the baggage and walked out, whispering a few words to Lu Baichuan outside the door. Dachuan'er looked reluctant, and Jiang Zhui forced him to do it. After a long time, Ah Zhui finally left with a face full of reluctance.
Lu Chengmin didn't think much about it, thinking that "Old Jiang" was just a follower of Mr. Zhao.
This is why Han You goes with Wang Hai's wishes wherever he goes. If Lu Baichuan is here and Han You says to call Lao Jiang and the others, Dachuan'er will definitely call Jiang Shen.
Jiang Shen, one of the miscellaneous soldiers.
However, Wang Hai knew that what Han You was looking for was not Jiang Shen, but Jiang Chong, the captain of Yongcheng Zhechong Prefecture.
The situation is not fully understood, and Han You does not need to understand it. From what he knows and guesses now, Jiang Chong can already bring the soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion over.
"Since the magistrate is ill and Lord Lu can make the decision, okay, Lord Lu, let's talk to the students, but it's best to eat and drink at the same time. After a long journey and traveling with a female family, it would be annoying to Lord Lu. "
"Where is it?"
Lu Chengmin was waiting for this sentence. He was eager to eat, drink, talk and be intimate with Mr. Zhao.
Lu Chengmin stood up and went to the door to explain. Several subordinate officials hurried away.
After returning, Lu Chengmin began to explain the current situation in Yongcheng, mainly talking about the situation of "Three Seasons Villa".
Han You just said "Master Lu will talk to the students" without saying anything about it, but Lu Chengmin directly introduced the situation of Sanji Villa.
Wherever the construction is now, there are still some projects that have not yet been completed...
How many people were employed, how much wealth was sent by other aristocratic families...
How many officials have been replaced in Yongcheng, and how many officials are responsible for which projects...
How many merchants come into the city every day...
How much food can you earn every day...
Han You finally understood what was going on. The tea was hot but his heart was cold.
What he worried about most didn't happen.
Something more serious than what he worried about appeared.
You Mingtang was not eliminated, but his "power" was taken away.
The prefect of Yongcheng should have the final say.
But now the magistrate You Mingtang is just a decoration. I don't know whether this decoration is alive or dead. I don't know where the person is alive or where the body is after death.
Lu Chengmin was just transferred here. In less than a month, besides him, there were also several officials from the capital, including those from the Nine Temples and the Sixth Ministry. They were all small figures who could not stand on the stage, but in Han You's eyes, these were the A small figure who is not worth mentioning represents the interests of many aristocratic families and the collective interests of aristocratic families.
Not only did they want to swallow up the interests of Sanji Villa, but they also wanted to take away You Mingtang's achievements and achievements. The most shocking thing is that in just one month, they succeeded. They did it successfully.
You must know that You Mingtang is not a common prefect and civil servant on the market. This guy was a thief back then, with a humble background. In the end, he became the number one scholar in the scientific examination and became famous all over the world. He also played a guest role as a murderous mountain bandit. He is the son of many aristocratic families. He died inexplicably in his hands.
It was this hexagonal prefect who had blood in his hands and had the ability to execute and the courage to do it. In just one month, everything was taken away.
How did Lu Chengmin know that the eldest son Zhao was not named Zhao, so he put aside his excited "introduction"? His expression always changed inadvertently when he saw Han You, thinking that this guy was "uneasy", and he said something that should not have been the first time they met. the words said.
For example, the people in the city thought they were working for You Mingtang.
For example, within one year, he could use Yongcheng's political achievements to be promoted from Tongzhi to Prefect.
For example, there are several truly big families that support him.
For example, many people in central Beijing and southern China regard Han You as a thorn in their side.
The banquet is ready, not in the government office, but in Lu Mansion, which is Lu Chengmin's residence.
Han You is used to it. Yongcheng is no longer the Yongcheng he knows. Youmingtang has been reduced to this. A group of aristocratic families have sprung up in Yongcheng. Not surprisingly, these bastards are like dead forever. Like endless cockroaches, they are there wherever there is darkness.
He finally knew what these bastards were up to. They treated Yongcheng and the people's dreams as a business, a steady stream of political achievements, and asked more aristocratic families to participate, join in, and work together for them. Protected by a dark heart and greedy selfish desires.
This is why the other party was so excited when he heard that he was from the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is a towering tree. The Zhao family can become their biggest protective umbrella when they come.
As everyone knows, the son of the Zhao family is not named Zhao, but Yan.
