Chapter 222 House
Li Zhubu returned to his room in fear. As soon as he saw Butler Wang, he immediately saluted with a flattering smile.
Steward Wang, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and waved his hand, "Stand further away, and don't let your sick energy get to me. I still have to serve the city lord."
The smile on Li Zhubu's face froze, and he took a few steps back awkwardly. "Yes, then I'll stand here."
Steward Wang nodded, covered his mouth and nose, and asked, "Do you know where Liang Yaoping is now?"
Li Zhubu tilted his head and thought carefully for a moment. "Ever since Liang Yaoping offended the city lord last time, he has been transferred to do the hardest and most tiring work. It's been so long, I really don't know if he is dead or not."
"You don't know? How could you, the chief clerk, not know?" Butler Wang glared at him and slammed the table.
"Please wait a moment, I'll check it right away, right away!"
Li Zhubu was leaning against the wall, hurriedly looking through the books on the shelf. In the process, he accidentally knocked over a thick stack of books, causing dust to fly everywhere.
"Cough cough cough..."
This made Butler Wang cough madly. He said dissatisfiedly: "Why is there so much dust in your room? Are you doing your job properly? I'll count a hundred times. If you can't find any details about Liang Yaoping and his family, then you just wait."
Li Zhubu had been gambling in that room all day without eating or drinking. He was already exhausted and was hanging on by a thread. Now, being provoked by Wang Guanjia, he became so anxious that his heart beat faster and everything he saw was blurry.
The more anxious you are, the harder it is to find it.
Fortunately, he had a vague impression of Liang Yaoping's son and daughter. The daughter was beautiful and had some martial arts skills. The son was not strong, but he was a talented writer. As soon as these two arrived in Ningguta, they accidentally offended the owner of the Xu family's shop in Ningguta. At that time, the owner seemed to have asked him for help, saying that he would make the family suffer. However, he didn't expect that before he could do anything, the father of these two people directly angered the city lord. It really is a family with a trouble-making nature.
Where did you go...
It seems to be Coal Hill? ?
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Coal Hill!"
"Who are you talking about in Coal Hill?" asked Butler Wang.
"Liang Yaoping's children! I'm sure these two are in Coal Hill! As for the others, you only need to send someone to find these two and ask them!"
Butler Wang thought it made sense. He didn't know whether Liang Yaoping was dead or alive, but he had to take his children back to report. The city lord had also given instructions to the nobleman. As long as he could buy time, other things would be easy.
"Someone is coming!"
"I'm here!" The yamen runner appeared again.
"Hurry up and go to Coal Hill and get me Liang..." Butler Wang said halfway, then turned to look at Li Zhubu, "What do you mean by Liang?"
"Liang Keke, Liang Qingying."
"Did you hear that? Hurry and find these two people and send them to the City Lord's Mansion! Quickly!"
"Yes! I will go find him as quickly as possible."
The yamen runner left after he finished speaking. Steward Wang also stood up and added before leaving, "Hurry up and sort out what has happened to Liang Yaoping and his family over the years, and then hurry over to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord might question you personally."
"Ah?" Li Zhubu was frightened.
"has a problem?"
"No, no problem."
"Do you know what you should say and what you shouldn't say?" Butler Wang's eyes were full of warnings.
"I know, I know!"
"That's good, let's move quickly." Butler Wang left first.
"Yes! I'll be there right away." Li Zhubu was in tears.
……
Su Chengnan and others who had been waiting in the City Lord's Mansion were chatting with Han Liping.
"I didn't expect that you are Mr. Sun Liangyuan whom the late emperor had requested for invitation many times. I am so sorry for not recognizing you before!" Han Liping stood up and bowed, and he was actually doing the student's etiquette.
"Don't be so polite, City Lord. My ambition is not to be an official. I find teaching and researching more interesting. It's free and enjoyable."
"Yes, sir, your realm is not comparable to that of ordinary people like us."
Han Liping was really shocked. He didn't expect that Sun Liangyuan would be involved with the Ningyuan Palace. During the past half cup of tea, he had already realized that Mr. Sun valued this girl very much. So, who is she?
The Su family, the Liang family? How could that bastard Liang Yaoping have such a good relative? It's really weird!
"Miss Su, your brothers and sisters are so lucky to be taught by Mr. Sun. They are so lucky. I am so envious of them."
"I am indeed very lucky! However, I am also fortunate to have met you thanks to the Prince. Therefore, I always remind my brothers and sisters to study hard and respect their teachers. In the future, whether they study literature or martial arts, they should always put serving the country first!"
"Serve the country! This is a very good thing to say!" Han Liping's eyebrows twitched unconsciously. Although he had a smile on his face, he felt in his heart that Miss Su had something else in her words. Her younger brothers and sisters should probably be loyal to the Ningyuan Palace, right?
"I wonder if you two have bought a house in advance before coming to Ningguta?" He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Su Chengnan and Sun Liangyuan exchanged a glance, and she smiled and said, "We should have prepared in advance, but unfortunately the weather was bad, and the people who went ahead were delayed for a long time on the road, and we ended up catching up with them, so we had no choice but to make plans after we got here."
"That's fine, that's fine. My City Lord's Mansion is quite large. Normally, it's just me and my wife living here, so it's already quite empty and deserted. If you two don't mind, you can stay here and treat it like your own home."
Han Liping had been reminded by his servants that the door was full of their carriages and luggage. With such a grand display, there must be a lot of treasures. No matter what the Ningyuan Palace wanted to do, he would never make enemies. Being kind to others was his code of conduct.
Su Chengnan stood up and bowed, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "The City Lord is so hospitable, we shouldn't refuse, but my younger brother and sister are still young and playful. The prince has also assigned them some martial arts teachers and has high hopes for them. They have to get up early every day to practice martial arts. I'm afraid it will disturb the City Lord and his wife too much. We should find another place."
Han Liping did not give up: "Miss Su, you are worrying too much. Madam likes children very much. I am afraid she is too happy to wait."
Su Chengnan smiled and sat down. It was Sun Liangyuan's turn to speak. "We appreciate the City Lord's kindness. It's mainly because my teaching methods are a bit harsh, which is a bit inconvenient... Haha, please forgive me, City Lord!"
"Sir, you're too kind! Well... since you've said so, I won't insist. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me. Don't hesitate."
"That's for sure, thank you, City Lord!"
As a few people were talking, a flute sound came from outside.
Hearing this, Su Chengnan finally felt relieved.
It seems Bingsan has already found a good house and is leading everyone there...
