Chapter 193 [Enthusiastic Yanjing House]
The western market was very lively. Han Mo led the horse behind Shuang'er with interest and walked through the western market. However, he also felt that people would occasionally throw strange eyes at him, and those eyes even had a hint of fear.
In fact, this is normal. The hooligans were still lying on the ground at the entrance of the city at this time, and many people saw with their own eyes that Xiao Mingtang and his gang bowed to Han Mo. Now this young man is strolling in the streets of Xishi with a little girl, which is a surprise to people.
"This is the vanilla of Fengguo!" Shuang'er stopped in front of a stall and pointed to the strange hay on the stall and said, "If these vanillas are placed in the house, they will smell. I had such vanillas in my house, but they took them out and said that vanillas hurt people's souls."
The stall owner hurriedly said, "Little girl, you can't say this. How can this vanilla hurt people? They are all nonsense. Don't believe it. Should you buy some?"
Shuang'er shook her head, giggled, and continued to move forward.
Han Mo couldn't help asking, "You said vanilla was taken away by them? Who are they?"
"They are them!" Shuang'er smiled with her lips pursed and did not answer directly. She walked to a stall and pointed to the things on it and said, "This is a donut, it's delicious!"
She seemed to be very familiar with this street. Along the way, she could almost call out things from every stall, and the stall owners seemed to know her. Occasionally, someone would say hello: "Girl, I haven't seen you here for a while!"
Han Mo felt even more and more strange. Who was this "porcelain doll" that suddenly appeared like an elf?
"Is your home here?" Han Mo asked suddenly.
Shuang'er nodded and said, "Yes, I live in Beijing."
Han Mo laughed in silence and said, "I know you are from the capital. Your voice does not have a trace of an accent from other places. It was born and raised in the capital. I asked if your home is in Xicheng? I'll send you back first. Thank you for leading the way for me today!"
Shuang'er waved her hand and said, "You don't need to give it to you." A trace of dimness flashed through her crystal-like eyes, and she said softly: "Do you no longer need me to lead the way?"
Han Mo frowned. Shuang'er always spoke a little strangely, as if something was hidden. When she asked this, she really didn't know how to answer.
Shuang'er looked up at Han Mo, then lowered her head and muttered to herself: "So you don't want to be with me either."
She said this very lightly and meticulously, and even Han Mo could hear it vaguely.
...
"Where are you!" Hearing a burst of shouts, the crowd on the street screamed. Han Mo frowned and looked in the sound. A group of yamen servants rushed over from the crowd. They were wearing green tuxedoes and official swords around their waists, like wolves and tigers, and they were running straight towards Han Mo.
The group of yamen rushed forward, and the leader shouted: "I am the guardian of Yanjing Prefecture, are you causing trouble at Xishikou?"
Han Mo said lightly: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
"I'm still pretending!" Chief Guard An said angrily: "Let's go, what do you mean? Let me go to the yamen. Someone has reported the case. You are domineering at the entrance of Xishi and hurting people. Now the prefect is waiting to inquire about the case in person."
"Rampant and domineering, hurt people?" Han Mo smiled: "This is really a big charge!"
"Don't talk nonsense, why don't you follow us?" Chief An said in a fierce manner, pointing to Shuang'er: "She is also in the same group, and I will take it back to the yamen together!"
Han Mo frowned and stared at Chief An and said, "She has nothing to do with this matter."
"It doesn't matter whether it's up to you." Chief Guard An said impatiently: "That's the prefect, Lord Gong," he waved his hand and ordered the yamen behind him to take it back, "Take it back."
Of course, Han Mo would not be so stupid as to be enemies with the Yanjing Office's yamen in public. If he resisted arrest, he would be afraid that the memorial would float into the palace like snowflakes.
Shuang'er didn't look afraid at this time, but instead seemed a little excited and got closer to Han Mo.
At this moment, Han Mo suddenly saw a red figure walking quickly among the crowd not far away, walking like the wind, moving lightly, wearing a hat on his head, which was Xue Hongxiu.
This hot girl suddenly appeared again.
Han Mo looked over there from a distance and shook his head. Xue Hongxiu immediately stopped and when Chief An looked back in confusion, Xue Hongxiu was nowhere to be seen.
Han Mo was very satisfied with the ability of this new subordinate.
He turned his head, looked at Shuang'er, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to follow me to the yamen for the trouble...!"
Not only was Shuang'er not afraid, she said excitedly: "That would be fun!"
...
...
Yanjing Prefecture is the yamen that manages the security issues in Yanjing City. If explained in modern terms, it is equivalent to the police station in the capital. It has no right to handle major cases, but only maintains normal order in the capital. Xicheng District is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and it is also the most chaotic place in the entire capital, so most of the energy of the Yanjing Prefecture Organ is also focused on the Xicheng.
When the Yanjing Prefecture Office handles civil affairs, the targets of the people they govern are just ordinary people. As for the children of high-ranking officials and noble families, the Yanjing Prefecture Office has no courage to care about them. Some public security issues in Yanjing involve the high-ranking officials and nobles, the Yanjing Prefecture simply turned a blind eye and ignored it.
The Yanjing government office is not small. In order to maintain the internal security of such a huge city in Yanjing, hundreds of yamen servants were also organized. However, the yamen servants paid very little, so sometimes, the yamen would think of some strange methods to get some extra money subsidies.
Liu Qingyuan, the current prefect of Yanjing Prefecture, is definitely a master in this way.
Liu Qingyuan did not belong to any family. He got through the exam step by step, and then climbed from a minor official to the position of the prefect of Yanjing step by step.
He is very versatile and is doing well in the capital. He is engaged in major forces and laughs whenever he sees people. Therefore, the major families do not mind that he occupying the insignificant position of the prefect of Yanjing. After all, everyone still has to make a gesture to let people all over the world know that not only the children of aristocratic families can be officials, and ordinary children have a chance as long as they are willing to make progress.
For major forces, the Yanjing Prefecture, which is responsible for the issue of public security, is of course an irrelevant yamen, but for Liu Qingyuan, who is very clear about the political situation, this may be the peak of his political career. He is already quite satisfied with being the prefect without special circumstances.
At least in this position, he has accumulated considerable wealth through this position in just two years.
Although it is just a matter of management and security, as long as there is a slight fluctuation in Yanjing City, as long as there is no high-ranking officials and nobles, the Qingyi yamen in Yanjing Prefecture will definitely respond immediately. Everyone involved in the incident will be arrested and will then ask you very happily whether you want to stay in the wet and cold cell for a few days. If you don’t want to, it’s very simple, take out enough money to avoid the pain of flesh and blood.
This method is very naked, but somehow it is quite effective. If we say that Xicheng District was described as a smoky thing two years ago, after Liu Qingyuan came to power, the order in Xicheng District became much better after the trick of asking for money came out.
The Yanjing Prefecture Office has benefited and the public security situation has been greatly improved. Liu Qingyuan even knew the principles of being a human being. He did not seek refuge in any family, but he was respectful to every family. Such a person who had nothing to do with the overall situation did not drive him into the water during the battle between the aristocratic families. He was very reliable as the prefect.
He was in a good mood these days. He had just bought a house, and there was a charming beauty in the house.
However, just a moment ago, someone came to the yamen and claimed to be the confidant of the young master of the Xiao family. He reported that there was a riot at the entrance of Xishi and asked Liu Qingyuan to send someone to deal with it as soon as possible, so that the perpetrator must be arrested and brought to justice. The person who came even clearly described the perpetrator.
When Liu Qingyuan heard that it was Xiao Mingtang who sent someone, he immediately sent someone to go without saying a word.
Master Xiao’s face is just the prefect of Yanjing Prefecture, how dare you not give me? And there is really a guy who makes trouble, and it’s money to catch it again, so why not do it?
However, when Liu Fuyin saw Han Mo and Shuang'er appearing in front of him, he was stunned.
...
Yesterday morning, he had just met the young man in front of him. At that time, everyone was discussing how such a young man led less than a thousand cavalry to break through Ligu Pass.
Although Liu Qingyuan had little power, he was responsible for the public security in Yanjing, so he was qualified to appear in the morning court.
He clearly remembered that the young man was named Han Mo, and later he was named the director of the West Flower Hall who made people laugh, but Liu Qingyuan was not laughing at the time.
What he saw was not Han Mo's official position that made people laugh, but Han Mo's background.
This person is from the Han family. Now the Han family is gradually growing in the North Korea, and there is a powerful backstage force behind this young man.
He never expected that Xiao Mingtang sent someone to report it to Han Mo.
When he saw the yamen members surrounding Han Mo and Shuang'er into the lobby, Liu Qingyuan, who was sitting high in the lobby, almost collapsed, but he quickly remained calm, ran down from above, and bowed deeply to Han Mo: "Director Han, the lower official saw the style of the master yesterday, and admired him very much, so he sent someone to invite Director Han to come and talk to him today...!"
"Director Han?" Shuang'er, who was standing next to Han Mo, was quite puzzled and looked at Han Mo.
Han Mo looked at Liu Qingyuan with a smile and asked, "Are you the prefect?"
"Secretary Liu Qingyuan!" Liu Qingyuan seemed extremely humble: "Director Han came here and failed to leave the mansion to greet him. Don't blame him!"
Shuang'er blinked, curious, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going to arrest us? You should try the case and interrogate us."
Liu Qingyuan was stunned and looked at Shuang'er. The smile on his face was even worse than crying.
