My father is Jiajing

Chapter 293 Who is Mr. Luo
Hai Rui looked at the carts of liquor with "Urban Construction Bureau" lanterns on them with a gloomy face, tears almost coming out of his face.

"Go, call out the steward here, and the one who's serving the wine."

Hai Rui ordered the guard beside him to call the person out.

When the guard heard Hai Rui's instructions, he immediately went to the dormitory of the shed to call the manager and the person who served the wine. Hai Rui stood outside in the snow waiting, with no intention of going in.

The guard entered the work shed dormitory and looked at the happy workers and laborers inside. He walked quickly to a place that was obviously the center.

The guard looked at the stewards sitting at the table, all dressed in thick cotton coats and leather pants, and asked, "Who among you is the steward here?"

One of the men, who was drinking wine happily, heard someone asking who the manager was. He immediately looked over with his drunken eyes and laughed, "Come on, brother, let's go too!"

The guard looked at the drunken man with a red nose, frowned slightly, and asked again: "Who is the manager?"

At this time, someone finally took it seriously. Two of the people who were responsible for delivering the wine looked at this sudden uninvited guest with a little surprise and surprise. They were a little surprised.

One of them, Liu Zhiyuan, stood up and said in a friendly tone, "Brother, I'm the manager of the Urban Construction Department. Which government office are you from?"

The guard looked at the man who claimed to be the manager of the Urban Construction Department and said, "I am a guard of Prince Yu's Palace who is ordered to obey the orders of the Haishen. Who is the manager of the work shed?"

After the guard revealed his identity, Liu Zhiyuan's heart immediately shuddered. He never expected that it was Hai Heimian's man.

Because of Hai Rui's skin color and his usual serious supervisory style, Hai Rui was called Hai Black Face by the clerks he supervised, meaning that Hai Rui had a black face every day and showed no mercy at all.

However, they were also intimidated by Hai Rui's previous achievements in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, as well as the Prince Yu's Mansion represented by Hai Rui. Therefore, even though many people were dissatisfied with Hai Rui's impartial work style, no one dared to disrespect Hai Rui, nor did they dare to harm him.

Because they all knew that once something happened to Hai Rui, coupled with Prince Yu's influence, those upright people would definitely track down the ultimate mastermind at all costs.

Therefore, facing Hai Rui, this black-faced tough guy, no one would be stupid enough to really make things difficult for him.

Liu Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he laughed dryly, "It turns out that you are the military officer of Prince Yu's Mansion, Liu Zhiyuan, the manager of the City Construction Department."

The guard looked at Liu Zhiyuan's dry laugh, hummed, and continued: "Well, you will come out with me later. Where is the shed manager? Isn't he coming out yet?"

The guard impatiently called out to the shed manager again. At this moment, the man with the red nose suddenly woke up. He quickly put down his wine bowl and bowed to the guard, "I am the shed manager."

The guard looked at the man with red nose with disdain and frowned, "You and the manager of the City Construction Department, come out with me."

Both Rosacea and Liu Zhiyuan felt a jolt in their hearts, but the guard was so strong that they had no ability to resist. They could only obediently follow the guard out of the shed.

Hai Rui stood on the snow in front of the shed, waiting for the guards to return.

He was not willing to go into the shed. In fact, it was not because he disliked the environment of the shed dormitory. It was mainly because he knew that once he really went in and saw the workers and laborers drinking and having fun in the shed, he would definitely stop them from drinking according to the rules.

So, in order not to spoil everyone's fun, Hai Rui temporarily suppressed his anger and did not go crazy on the spot. He went into the workers' dormitory and scolded these people.

After all, Hai Rui still knew the difference between the important and the urgent. It was wrong for workers and laborers to drink, but they were not the source of the error. The source was those who made them drink.

The temperature drop caused by the heavy snow was indeed obvious, so it was understandable that these workers and laborers wanted to drink some wine to warm themselves up.

If we really try to use the rules to argue with these workers and laborers, it will easily undermine their work enthusiasm.

Therefore, Hai Rui did not enter the dormitory shed immediately. Instead, he asked the guards to call out the person in charge and the person who delivered the wine to find out the whole story and then investigate who was breaking the rules.

After Hai Rui stood in the snow and waited for a long time, the guards finally came out, followed by two people who walked a little nervously.

Although Hai Rui couldn't see the two men's appearances and expressions clearly due to the darkness of the night, he could guess that they were somewhat afraid of him.

And since they are so afraid of me, then everything is obvious. This drinking incident is definitely against the rules.

When the guard led two people to Hai Rui, Hai Rui asked coldly, "What are your names?"

Jiuhongbi and Liu Zhiyuan bowed to Hai Rui in fear and said, "I am Niu Erdou, and I am Liu Zhiyuan."

Hai Rui looked at the two men cowering, and his righteous spirit grew even stronger.

Hai Rui asked, "Who allowed you to drink in the shed?"

Niu Erdou looked at Liu Zhiyuan innocently. After being looked at by Niu Erdou, Liu Zhiyuan cursed in his heart, "This bastard is disloyal! He was still calling his teammates brothers when they were drinking, but when faced with Hai Heimian's questioning, he betrayed his teammates. He is so shameless!"

But facing Hai Rui's pressure, even if he was angry, he didn't dare to express it. He could only reply carefully: "Reporting to Supervisor Hai, I am here on the orders of Master Luo to deliver wine to the brothers in the work shed to keep warm."

When Hai Rui heard Liu Zhiyuan talking about Mr. Luo, he frowned slightly. It was obvious that this "Mr. Luo" was not in Hai Rui's impression.

In Hai Rui's impression, there didn't seem to be a person named Luo in charge of the Urban Construction Bureau. Even if there was someone named Luo, he would not be addressed as "Master Luo" because such address was not in line with the rules of officialdom.

In official circles, when addressing someone, the mainstream approach is to use their position and some special honorific titles.

For example, a grand secretary would be honored as a cabinet minister, a second-rank official would be honored as a Zhongcheng or Zongxian, an official at a prefecture would be honored as a Futai or Fuyin, and as for officials in charge, they are generally just called "Zhushi" (the chief official), and there is no special name for them.

Therefore, the title of Mr. Luo is definitely wrong.

Hai Rui stared at Liu Zhiyuan and asked, "Who is Mr. Luo? Why is he delivering wine to the workers and laborers in the shed?"
