The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

Not long after, dark clouds overwhelmed the top, thunder rumbled, and the smell of rain and the sweltering heat made it hard to breathe.

After lunch and a change of clothes, Yu Zhuo went out to meet those people, but Xia Houzhan was afraid of being recognized by Wang Lian's son Wang Xin, so he just stayed behind the screen.

When there are too many people, the small medical center is extremely crowded.

As soon as Wang Xin saw Yu Zhuo, he saluted and said with an ugly face: "Master Zuo Xiang, why didn't you inform the next official in advance, and the next official is fine..."

"The preparations are sufficient. Governor Wang specially rushed from Nanjing to Yangzhou Mansion, and set up a checkpoint to arrest the salt owl." Yu Zhuo said with a smile.

Originally, Wang Xin wanted to come, but the northerners couldn't bear the turbulence on the boat, so Yu Zhuo would not come so early, and he could also take advantage of this time to catch two salt owls in Yangzhou Prefecture.

"Why, the truth is not right?"

"This..." Wang Xin quickly put away the expression on his face, wanting to find an explanation.

At this time, Xu Yilu, the governor of Yangzhou, who was beside Wang Xin, really couldn't stand his virtue, and asked for him, "Is the prime minister in good health?"

"I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Xu, but it's no problem. I don't know if Mr. Xu thinks it's appropriate to block the waterway?" After Yu Zhuo asked, he glanced at Xia Houzhan's position behind the screen.

The screens in the clinic are for the convenience of patients, and the inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside.

Immediately, Xu Yilu didn't know how to answer. This checkpoint was set up by Wang Xin when he heard that Prime Minister Zuo had come to Yangzhou Mansion, but now he has really annoyed Prime Minister Zuo...

"The truth is ordered to lead a thorough investigation into the matter of Yan Xiao. From now on, I will stay at Mr. Xu's residence. I hope Mr. Xu will know everything." Seeing Xu Yilu swaying from side to side, Yu Zhuo planned to find a breakthrough point from now on.

Wang Xin hurriedly said: "There are many people in Xufu Yin's family. The official heard that the prime minister is happy, so he specially prepared a separate mansion for the lord, and I hope the lord can move."

"Really, Mr. Wang's family property is quite rich, and you can even buy a mansion in such a prosperous city of Suzhou."

This made Wang Xin want to slap himself.

"My lord, shall we let Prime Minister Zuo go?" Wang Xin's staff asked cautiously.

However, Wang Xin turned around and gave him a slap on the back of the head, cursing: "It's all your bad idea, why first catch a few salt owls to make up for it, and now they are all caught on the head of the prime minister, except me, who can save me!"

"My... my lord, you can't speak like this. People in the court have said that the left is not good for money and beauty, but people always have shortcomings. Guess what he is trying to do?"

Hearing that the staff was still trying to play tricks, Wang Xin was so angry that he kicked again: "Guess you, tell me quickly."

"Of course it's for fame!"

After thinking about it, Wang Xin felt that it was really the same thing, so he asked the Venerable Master to go back to the mansion in Yangzhou Mansion first.

The thunderstorm came and went quickly, and after a while, it cleared up.

Not long after, Yu Zhuo arrived at Xu Yilu's residence.To be honest, if it wasn't for the convenience of living in the official residence for him to read the files, Yu Zhuo would rather live in the post station.

Xu Yilu had never met Xia Houzhan, so he asked, "Who is this young master?"

Taking off the bamboo hat on top of his head, Xia Houzhan felt that his face was about to be covered with prickly heat, and indeed he glanced at Xu Yilu indifferently, which gave the latter a chill.

"This is a good friend of the truth, capable of both literature and martial arts, surnamed Yan."

"Okay, Mr. Yan." Xu Yilu's gaze became weird. The definition of "friend" is unusual. It may be a former classmate, or an aide, you can't tell——

With supper in hand, Yu Zhuo knocked on the door of Xia Houzhan's room.

"Hey, gentleman on the beam, come down and eat something." Yu Zhuo said without raising his head.

Qi Ruo jumped off the beam, with a look of incredulity on his face: "This...you might have found me." It was clear that he held his breath and shrank in the shadows.

Yu Zhuo smiled, sat down and said, "Guess, if you are not with His Majesty at this time, how can you take up the position of the head of the Southern Imperial Office?"

Although the words were reasonable, Qi Ruo naturally didn't believe that his concealment skills would be discovered by others, but Yu Zhuo couldn't use common sense to speculate, maybe he was selling his face in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is the salt tax rate and income taken out of the yamen openly." Yu Zhuo himself also copied a copy, Xia Houzhan took it, and frowned when he saw it.

It has to be said that Xu Yilu was quite cautious in his actions, and he didn't have many flaws. Even if there were, it was probably framed by his immediate boss, Wang Xin.

After working as an official in Suzhou Prefecture for so many years, how could he not understand these methods of tampering with salt tax.

"Master Qi, have you got the private account?" Yu Zhuo asked.

"No... no."

"Then why are you in the mood to drink tea here?"

Putting down the teacup and snacks, Qi Ruo dared not speak out at the moment, he really understood what it means to be crushed to death by a senior official.

"Is it the same situation in Huai'an Mansion?" Xia Houzhan asked, he found that Qi Ruo and Yu Zhuo liked to bicker when they met, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong.

"The subordinates of the Huai'an mansion dare not go in and out at all. The governor summoned a group of 'martial arts masters', who are actually doing tricks. If they don't have any skills, they just go in and beat them up. Many of them were defeated." Qi Ruo suddenly rolled his eyes. Guang, "Let Prime Minister Zuo try."

"The truth is that I'm a frail scholar, will Master Qi have the heart?" Yu Zhuo asked.

Giving him a big white eye, Qi Ruo turned on his shoulders and said that he would not participate in making suggestions.

Seeing Yu Zhuo kept shaking the fan with one hand, Xia Houzhan became a little upset, and then asked, "How can Hengqing find private account books?"

"There is a way, but I don't know if it will work."

"Go ahead."

"If Qi Ruo couldn't find the account book, it's mostly because Xu Yilu didn't touch the account book at all these days. If I don't leave for a day, he won't touch the account book for a day. Unless he digs the ground three feet, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do."

This time, the person on the beam let out a disdainful "cut--".

"Hengqing means that he had to touch the account books because of some accident." Xia Houzhan roughly understood Yu Zhuo's meaning, "Set fire to Xu Mansion?"

Set it on fire, if it burns out, he will cry to someone. "What I mean is to make the account book 'disappear'. In order to confirm whether the account book is still there, Xu Yilu will inevitably open the original place."

Xia Houzhan nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Xia Houzhan doing the same, Yu Zhuo raised his head and said, "On Liang, before nightfall tomorrow, you can steal as many books as you can from Xu's mansion. Remember, pick the ones that are hidden."

Qi Ruo chuckled and stabbed him, "Just keep your mouth shut, and if you don't want to do something, I will come."

"Quiet!" Yu Zhuo's tone was immediately serious, and he looked out of the window through the gap, and there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy tiptoeing close to the guest room.

Back on the seat, Yu Zhuo said: "I heard from the boatman along the way that there are so many things to do in Yangzhou. Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

"No, it's been hot these days, you don't want to suffer from heat stroke again."

"How...how could it be." Yu Zhuo sat down helplessly, and he didn't act well with him in acting, so he got Xu Yilu out so that he could get the account book.

Then neither of them could say anything, they could only stare blankly.

Qi Ruo played together, imitating Xia Houzhan's voice: "It's so late, hurry up and rest, if you are healthy, we will go to Yueming Temple tomorrow."

"It would have been better to say it earlier, I have to be so coy." Yu Zhuo said with a smothered smile.

"Sir, please sleep here tonight. I will serve you well." Qi Ruo's tone unconsciously echoed that of the girls in Lanyue Pavilion.

Yu Zhuo: ...

Xia Houzhan was shocked by Qi Ruo's superb ventriloquism, and for a moment forgot to stop them.It wasn't until Yu Zhuo broke through the door that he realized what stupid Qishou had done.

On the second day, the Yu Xingwei who secretly followed was replaced by another one, probably because Qi Ruo was thinking about getting his own head.

Xu Yilu asked someone to come early in the morning to ask Yu Zhuo if he wanted to go out for "inspection", presumably the little boy outside the door last night was the spy he sent.But as soon as Yu Zhuo thought that it would be good to create opportunities for Qi Ruo to steal, he agreed.

It was not difficult to find that Xia Houzhan's complexion began to darken again.

During breakfast, Xu Yilu began to befriend: "Master Zuo Xiang, that's the place you mentioned, let's go; or should the lower officials decide?"

"I heard that the Mingyue Temple here has a nice view, why don't we go there." Yu Zhuo recalled what Qiruo said last night, presumably he came to Yangzhou Mansion to say that he was doing business, but he played all the places he could play.

"Uh...there is no Mingyue Temple here, but there is Yueming Temple. I don't know if this is the place Mr. Zuo Xiang wants to go to." Xu Yilu asked.

Yu Zhuo glanced at Xia Houzhan indiscriminately, but he didn't expect the emperor to snicker, even though the smile disappeared in a flash.

The author has something to say:

There seems to be a problem before.
