Chapter 585 Brothers are like brothers, new arrival
Rumors began to spread rapidly.
By noon, almost the entire imperial city knew what the Jinyiwei had done.

For a time, everyone was in danger.

They asked themselves honestly, they were just small officials in Beijing with some money and power.
He has neither the ability of Lord Lu nor the power of Lord Lu.

If you are targeted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, you will be wiped out sooner or later.

Then, a strange scene appeared in the entire imperial city.
Many officials are absent-minded and often distracted.
He also frequently cast his gaze towards the Jinyiwei Yamen, gritting his teeth.

The day passed quickly, and when the court was dismissed,
Many officials left the yamen in a hurry, as if they had something urgent to do.

This made the soldiers guarding the imperial city look at each other in bewilderment.

I didn’t expect the Jinyiwei’s actions to be so powerful.

In the Five Military Commandery, many clerks and officials left their offices.

They turned their eyes to Lu Yunyi's office.

But I saw that the room was the same as before, with the door half open.

You can see Lord Lu sitting among many clerks with a frown on his face.

This made many people secretly admire him.

Even after such a big incident, he is still able to sit still as steady as a mountain.

Many people have a new understanding of Lu Yunyi's abilities.

After all, that was the Jinyiwei Yamen, and everyone in the court was very secretive about it.

Lord Lu went straight to the door.
Such a feat made them admire him very much.

Lu Yunyi in the government office heard a lot of noise outside.
Slowly coming back to his senses from the document,

He blinked tiredly and checked the time.

"So fast?"

Lu Yunyi was somewhat surprised that time passed so quickly.
He looked at Feng Yunfang who was standing at the door and said:

"Has Chen Jingyi's document been delivered?"

After hearing the sound, Feng Yunfang turned around and walked in, closing the door.

Then he took out a letter from his chest and quickly walked to the table and handed it over:
"Sir, Master Chen has delivered the letter this afternoon."

"Ah."

Lu Yunyi took the letter and nodded, then opened it and read it one by one.

When he saw someone sneak into Guichun Medical Clinic and then return to Jinyiwei,
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he suddenly laughed:

"It seems that Mao Xiang still has some courage."

Feng Yun looked puzzled.
But Lu Yunyi did not explain to him, but asked:

"Have you arranged everything for the aftermath?"

"Reporting to you, sir, everything is ready." Feng Yunfang answered in a serious tone.

Lu Yunyi looked at Feng Yunfang in surprise.
He looked him up and down and asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so serious?"

Feng Yunfang didn't know how to answer and wanted to scratch his head.
But the movement stopped abruptly and he put his hand down again.

Seeing his hesitant look, Lu Yunyi understood and said calmly:

"Have you read the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that is popular among the people?"

Feng Yunfang nodded repeatedly: "Sir, I have seen it."

“There is one sentence in it that I like very much.

Brothers are like limbs, wives are like clothes.

If clothes are torn, they can be mended; but if limbs are severed, how can they be repaired? "

Feng Yunfang remembered that this sentence was said by Liu Bei.

"Do you think this sentence is correct?" Lu Yunyi asked indifferently.

Feng Yunfang couldn't resist the urge to scratch his head, so he stretched out his hand and scratched it:
"Sir, I am not married yet, so I don't know if this is right."

"That's pretty honest. You're still young now, you'll understand when you grow up."

Feng Yunfang scratched his head again. If he remembered correctly,

I am only half a year younger than adults, how can I still be young?

Lu Yunyi did not give him an explanation, but slowly stood up and stretched his muscles.
Walk to the window frame and stand quietly.

Looking at the crowds of people walking away from the government gate, he said calmly:
“The subsequent matters need to be handled properly.

The shares of the 'Cola' workshop were converted into silver and given to Jinyu's family.
Besides, there is no need to hide this matter, just make it a grand event.”

Feng Yunfang felt his lips were a little dry.
"It's an adult."

Lu Yunyi looked back at the pile of documents in the room and found it difficult to immerse himself in them, so he said:

"Let's go, sort out the paperwork and go home."

"Yes!"

The renovation of Liu Mansion on Zhangde Street in Dagongfang is still in progress.

One huge cover after another covered every place.

It is worth mentioning that the floor has been replaced with white marble tiles, which looks particularly luxurious.

Liu Heiying hurried back from the military camp.

Looking at the high hanging plaque and the many busy craftsmen, a hint of emotion appeared on his face.

He took the documents and walked into the mansion.

Hua Jieyu, who had been waiting in the main hall, came to greet him hastily.

Smiling like a flower, walking fast,
He naturally took the document from Liu Heying's hand.

"General, you must be tired today."

Liu Heiying smiled, took her into the main hall, and then sighed:

"How can I not be tired from the busy military affairs every day?

Now there are people stabbing me in the back, which is even more disturbing.”

Hua Jieyu was wearing a goose yellow dress at the moment, and she exuded a faint fragrance.

After being nourished by love, you look younger.

Her face looked a little strange, and she asked tentatively:

"General, are the rumors in the capital true?"

"Are you so well-informed?" Liu Heiying looked at her in surprise.

Hua Jieyu looked normal, sat over and said softly:

"General, I heard this rumor when I went out to buy today's cold dishes.

You don't know, it's becoming a hot topic now.

And I also heard that"

Having said this, Hua Jieyu showed some hesitation on her face, with fear flashing in her eyes, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What did you hear?"

Liu Heiying grabbed her little hand and played with it as if nothing had happened.

Her fingers were slender, white, and her skin was rosy, like the hands of a twenty-year-old girl.

"I heard that Doctor Zhu passed away."

When Hua Jieyu said this, the hairs on her body stood up and a hint of disbelief flashed across her face.

Liu Heiying paused, his expression did not change:

"anything else?"

"Some say it was the Jinyiwei who killed him, others say it was Lord Lu who did it for his reputation."

Hua Jieyu showed an embarrassed look on her face and her voice became lower and lower.

Liu Heiying chuckled and touched her head:
"Who do you think did it?"

Hua Jieyu spoke tentatively:
"It may be the Jinyiwei. Lord Lu is so kind to others and he values ​​friendship and loyalty."

Liu Heiying nodded, his eyes somewhat empty, and turned to talk about other things:
"When Brother Yun'er and I led a hundred people to the Northern Yuan Dynasty court disguised as grassland people,
The second prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was very kind to my brother and me.

I arranged for Brother Yun'er to have two young ladies to serve him, and life will be much more pleasant."

Hua Jieyu looked puzzled, with a hint of bewilderment in her big eyes.

Liu Heiying continued:

"You don't know, those two women are gentle and considerate, and they do things in an orderly manner.

Not to mention Brother Yun'er, I like everyone I see.

But do you know what happened to them?"

Hua Jieyu suddenly felt her lips and throat dry, and her eyes widened:
"I don't know."

"Brother Yun'er told me something.

People have ties and weaknesses. I killed those two grassland women with my own hands."

Liu Heiying shrugged, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter.

But Hua Jieyu felt uncomfortable when she heard it.

Her breathing suddenly became rapid and she shrank into Liu Heying's arms.

"Does the General think this is true?"

"Of course, Brother Yun'er has never made a mistake."

Liu Heiying showed emotion on his face and touched Hua Jieyu's little head.
Smelling the faint fragrance coming towards me, my eyes are deep and cold:

"I have stayed in Beijing for too long.
Everyone else thought that Brother Yun'er was kind and generous to others.

But these idiots don't think about it.
How to lead troops and kill enemies if you are kind to others?
My brother and I have worked hard and bravely to climb to this position, and there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood beneath our feet.

But there are always people who think that we are young and easy to bully.

But little did he know that he was the fool. "

Hua Jieyu listened silently, her lips tightly pursed, and she looked even weaker.
"I have only been in the capital for a little over a month.
Although this place is prosperous, the capital is a place where people kill without bloodshed.
It is much more dangerous than Yuezhou, General, you must be extremely careful."

Liu Heiying suddenly burst into laughter:
"I have to be careful of you." "Ah?" Hua Jieyu was stunned, and then her whole body turned cold.

But Liu Heiying changed the subject, a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and touched his waist:

"You little devil, you want to hold me in your arms all day long while sleeping. You're almost bending my waist."

Hua Jie glared at him with her beautiful eyes and pushed him coquettishly:
"General, how can you say this about me?

I am just thinking about giving birth to a child for the general as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Hua Jieyu lowered her eyes, looking sad:
"The general is still young, but I am already old and ugly.

If you don't hurry up, the general's soul will be seduced away by those little bitches."

"What nonsense! I have never seen a little goblin as good at serving others as you."

Liu Heiying waved his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After hearing this, Hua Jieyu burst into laughter, leaned forward with her beautiful face, and murmured:
"General, I will serve you comfortably. I only ask that you don't abandon me."

"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. What are you afraid of?
Brother Yuner thinks women are not important, but I don’t think so. Women are as important as brothers!
Let’s go, move around first, and then eat.”

"Oops~"

In the Lu Mansion, the square table in the main hall was filled with sumptuous meals.

Lu Yunyi sat in the main seat, facing the door.

Mu Chuting and Deng Lingyun sat on the left and right sides.

Mu Chuting was very generous and at the moment, she was serving Lu Yunyi a cool drink.

Deng Lingyun was a little shy. She lowered her head, not knowing what to do, and her face flushed.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yunyi smiled and ordered:

"Go, pour a glass of wine for your husband."

Deng Lingyun felt relieved and relaxed.
He quickly took the pot of wine handed to him by Xiaohong and picked up the wine glass to pour wine for Lu Yunyi.

Lu Yunyi smiled gently and looked at Mu Chuting:
"Lingyun is just like you, a lady from a wealthy family, she doesn't know how to serve others.

You should take better care of her in the future and don't let her be too busy."

"Don't worry, husband.
Besides, Sister Lingyun still has to take care of business affairs, so she doesn’t have time to serve you~"

After hearing this, Lu Yunyi burst into laughter and changed the subject:

"Ting'er, there's no one taking care of the Coke Workshop now.

Do you want to take care of it yourself, or let Lingyun take care of it together?"

Mu Chuting didn't react.
Deng Lingyun suddenly raised her head, her face full of surprise.

Mu Chuting smiled and looked at Lu Yunyi:
"Husband, let Lingyun take care of these things.

I still prefer to stay at home, read books and grow flowers."

Lu Yunyi nodded and looked at Deng Lingyun:
"Lingyun, what do you think?"

Deng Lingyun shook her head repeatedly:
"Sir, since Lingyun has already entered the mansion, it is naturally inconvenient for her to show up in public.

Lingyun doesn't know much about business matters.

My Lord, please find some experienced shopkeepers."

"You want to stay at home too?" Lu Yunyi was stunned and raised his hand to scratch his head.

Deng Lingyun's cheeks were rosy and her voice was soft:

"Sister needs a companion at home. I'd better leave the public appearance to you, my Lord."

Lu Yunyi pondered for a moment, looked at the two of them with a smile, and explained:

"My husband is from outside the Great Wall, born in a barbarian land.
I sneer at the idea that women can't show their faces in public.
If you can manage some business, I can worry less."

Mu Chuting rolled her eyes at him and complained:

"My dear husband, in my opinion, business is the most tiring job after being an official and fighting in a war.

You don't want to work hard, but you let me and sister Lingyun do it.

My husband, you really don't know how to be gentle with women."

Lu Yunyi smacked his lips, picked up the bowl and took a sip, then said helplessly:

"Then it's up to you."

Lu Yunyi turned and looked at the sumptuous meal on the table in a daze:
"I am a little tired of staying in the capital.

In a few days, we will go to Daning and I will take you to see the real grassland."

A trace of yearning flashed in Mu Chuting's eyes.

She was born in the southwest, where there was rainforest miasma everywhere, and she had never seen a grassland.

Deng Lingyun was a little scared. She was a well-known good girl in Beijing.
I feel a little nervous about going to such a far place now.

"Okay, okay, let's eat.

Today, my husband comes home early, so he should rest after dinner and let Sister Lingyun serve him."

Mu Chuting raised an eyebrow at Lu Yunyi.

Lu Yunyi was already accustomed to her boldness.

Deng Lingyun's face, on the other hand, was as red as a ripe peach.

Time passed, and ten days passed in a flash.
Maybe it's because enough people died.
The turmoil of the past few days was deliberately forgotten by Yingtian City.

Many people in the Jinyiwei Yamen were imprisoned, making the Yamen seem empty and less powerful than before.

In some government offices in the imperial city, everyone was in danger.

The Censorate has taken frequent actions in recent days, sending some high-ranking officials to jail.

Many officials' mistresses were also arrested, which made the people in Beijing applaud.

At the same time, I was also wondering if the disturbance a few days ago was caused by the Jinyiwei investigating corruption.
This rumor became popular in Beijing for a time.

At the north gate of Yingtian City, a convoy of more than ten carriages arrived at the capital,
Everyone's face showed fatigue from the long journey.

The curtain of the carriage in the center was lifted.

A thin and old voice came out.

Looking at the tall and thick city wall in front of him, he sighed:
“I never thought that after nearly thirty years, I would come to the capital one day.”

The driver took the whip and put the simple steps, also feeling a little emotional:

"Master, you've been traveling all the way, you want to come down and take a breath of fresh air?"

"It should, it should"

The old man got off the carriage and looked at the wide official road and the crowds of people coming and going, with a look of emotion on his face:

"The capital is still prosperous. If we have so many people in Qingzhou,
I don’t know how much money the government office will collect just for tolls.”

"Master, you can't say that.

This is the capital. I heard that Jinyiwei's secret agents are everywhere.

Master, you have just been promoted, so don’t lose your position because of this.” The driver reminded him hastily.

The old man nodded in agreement, with a look of fear on his face:

"Yes, this time it was all thanks to my good son-in-law,
I have risen to the top in one step, so I cannot cause him any trouble.

The Jinyiwei is a very impressive office. "

At this time, a group of people at the city gate came over in a hurry.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man with a heroic appearance.

He came closer and bowed:

"May I ask if this is Lord Liu from Qingzhou?"

The visitor was Liu Sili, the governor of Qingzhou, who was also Lu Yunyi's father-in-law.

Liu Sili's eyes flashed with doubt, and he cupped his hands:
"Exactly. May I know who the master is?"

The middle-aged man smiled and bowed quickly:
"I am Guo Yang, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel. I am honored to meet you, Mr. Liu.
Today, I am here to welcome Mr. Liu on the orders of the Houbutang."

Liu Sili was shocked.
He travelled at full speed and finally arrived in the capital a few days ahead of schedule. He wanted to settle down first.

How did the Ministry of Personnel know about it so quickly?
Moreover, they even sent a doctor to greet him in person.

The fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Personnel was not comparable to a fifth-rank official from a small border town like him.

The difference is that there are not ten steps, but eight steps.

Moreover, he had long heard that officials in the Ministry of Personnel were arrogant.

Even if officials from other places came to Beijing to report on their work, they had to report to the Ministry of Personnel in person.

What happened today?
However, Liu Sili is also a man with a wealthy family and extensive knowledge.

After a conversation, I finally understood.

It turned out that the position he was promoted to was personally appointed by His Majesty.

The post stations in the capital area had already reported his whereabouts to all higher authorities, and he was caught red-handed by the Ministry of Personnel.

As Guo Yang, the official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, led everyone into the city, he said:
"Master Liu, Master Lu is currently at the Ministry of Industry.

I have sent someone to inform you. I wonder if you have a place to stay in the capital?

I will go with you to settle down."

Liu Sili cupped his hands:

“Thank you, Lord Guo. My family purchased a mansion in the capital many years ago.

If Lord Guo is busy with official business, please leave.

Wait for me to make the arrangements, then go to the Ministry of Personnel."

Guo Yang quickly shook his head and laughed:
"Master Liu, you are joking. I came here on the orders of the Minister.

On the one hand, we came to welcome Mr. Liu.
On the other hand, I want to inform Mr. Liu about the recent disturbances and changes in the capital.
To prevent Lord Liu from breaking taboos when he first arrives."

Liu Sili's eyes widened slightly.

It was the first time he heard that the Ministry of Personnel had made such a thoughtful arrangement.

"Thank you very much, Lord Guo. I also want to know something about the capital."
