Chapter 355 The warmth and warmth of human relationships
"Master, this is our house?!"

Fang E exclaimed and ran through the gate happily. Although she had lived in the Huanglong Mansion with Bai Yuan, it was far inferior to the mansion in the capital.

Bai Yuan looked up at the two large characters "Bai Mansion" written in a flamboyant style and couldn't help but marvel at it.

The house that Guo Yingru allocated to him was right next to Xuanwu Avenue, which was the best location in Kyoto, and every inch of it was worth a fortune.

The people who lived here were at least third-rank officials, and many of them were not even able to be assigned a house next to Xuanwu Avenue, so when you go out here, you will see the top figures in Xuanyang.

It just so happened that he knew the people living on both sides of Bai Yuan.

On the left is the Vice Minister of Personnel Guo Yingru, and on the right is the Vice Minister of Works Yang Ting, Yang Fangyu’s third uncle.

The eight-story house was indeed very large, and to Fang'e it was no different from a maze.

Such a large house is actually for a family to live in.

Bai Yuan had just arrived in Kyoto and had not yet had time to buy servants. With only three of them, the house of course seemed empty.

Yes, three people.

In addition to himself and Fang E, there was another person, Yue Xiaobai.

When he came out of the Censorate, Yue Xiaobai was already waiting at the door. Without saying a word, she followed him to his own house.

Bai Yuan had no objection to this.

It was a great thing that the Xiyue Divine Sword could protect his house, so he certainly had no reason to refuse.

He was also willing to learn from Yue Xiaobai and exchange martial arts experiences.

The house was large, and the three of them chose their own rooms.

Bai Yuan plans to buy some servants in the future, just to increase his popularity.

But just as he had this thought, someone came to his door the next day.

He was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, with a row of people following him.

Yes, a row of people.
There are men and women, old and young.

"Your subordinate Zhou Minghan greets Lord Bai."

When Bai Yuan heard the name Zhou Minghan, he immediately understood the identity of this middle-aged man, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

"It turned out to be Master Zhou."

Zhou Minghan chuckled, "I heard that Lord Bai had just moved into a new residence and probably hadn't hired any servants yet, so I thought of bringing some of the elderly people in my own residence who can be used properly over here."

Bai Yuan chuckled.

Zhou Minghan’s words were very insightful.

It was very normal for an official to have more than a hundred servants in his home. In Kyoto, it was common for officials to give each other beautiful maids.

The men, women, old and young behind Zhou Minghan were obviously bought by him after careful selection. The reason why he called them the elderly in the mansion was to indicate that he did not pay any money, which did not constitute a bribe, but a loan at most.

In this way, Bai Yuan would find it easier to accept.

Of course, after sending these people out, he had no intention of taking them back.

Bai Yuan: "Master Zhou is thoughtful. Let the two little girls be my apprentice's study companions. I like quietness, so I don't need anything else."

Zhou Minghan smiled even more brightly.

"Then follow what Master Bai said."

He waved his hand, and the row of people behind him retreated voluntarily, leaving behind only a group of girls who looked pleasant and were about the same age as Fang E.

Only then did Bai Yuan lead Zhou Minghan into the mansion.

He did not accept all the people Zhou Minghan brought.

It's because he has too many secrets and doesn't want others to know them. Who knows, there might be spies planted by Zhou Minghan among these people.

Have to guard against it.

That's why he took in two little maids who were easy to control. This way he wouldn't offend Zhou Minghan and wouldn't cause any big problems.

Zhou Minghan and Bai Yuan were sitting in the lobby.

"Lord Bai is a genius on the Hidden Dragon List. He is a contemporary talent. I have admired him for a long time." "It's all just empty reputation."

After Zhou Minghan sat down, he looked at Bai Yuan calmly.

The news that the genius on the Hidden Dragon List had entered the Censorate had already spread throughout the capital.

When Bai Yuan came to Beijing, everyone speculated that he would become the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xu Dingchun would also take full control of the Ministry of War. However, the result was unexpectedly surprising.

Zhou Minghan is very talkative.

After he entered the lobby, he stopped talking about business and only told interesting stories.

This greatly changed Bai Yuan's influence on the censors.

As a supervisory agency, the Censorate has first-class intelligence and often knows secrets that others have never heard of.

Something like the old man of the Chai family slept with sixteen women at the age of over a hundred, or the illegitimate son of Minister Zhu coming to the house.

There really are no secrets in the capital.

Zhou Minghan spoke excitedly and Bai Yuan also found it interesting to listen.

Of course, not all censors in the Censorate are ruthless, iron-faced and impartial tools. In fact, impeachment is a matter that requires the most discretion.

After all, the Censorate was the emperor's Censorate. Whoever the emperor wanted to investigate, the Censor would impeach.

If you fail to understand the emperor's intentions, disaster will befall you.

Even though the old Censor Zhang was slacking off all day long, he had never made any mistakes in guessing the Emperor's thoughts, which was the reason why he was able to maintain his position as the Right Censor-in-Chief.

The two chatted for about a cup of tea. Zhou Minghan knew that the time was about up, so he found an excuse to leave.

The most taboo thing in worldly affairs is to speak in a deep way to someone you just met.

It was just the first time that he and Bai Yuan met, and their behavior of talking late into the night by candlelight upon their first meeting was probably just a show.

Zhou Minghan is well versed in the ways of being an official and of course knows the principle of slow and steady progress.

Zhang Songtao is old and will soon give up the position of Right Censor-in-Chief.

By then, both chief positions of the Censorate will be vacant.

As a genius on the Hidden Dragon List, Bai Yuan is a confirmed second-rank official, and has a great chance of becoming the Chief Censor.

Of course Zhou Minghan had to make friends with this future chief officer in advance.

After seeing Zhou Minghan off, only a few officials like Guo Yingru and Yang Ting, who were already on good terms with Bai Yuan, came to congratulate him.

Such a display is really not presentable for a third-rank official.

This is where the Censorate is inferior to the Six Ministries.

If it were the three-rank vice ministers of the six ministries, the room would have been filled with guests and a three-day banquet would have been held.

In the officialdom, it is like drinking the water; only you know whether it is hot or cold.

As the second-in-command of the Censorate, Bai Yuan does not need to report for duty every day and has a high degree of freedom.

He first stayed in the mansion for a few days.

After finding out everything about the inner treasury, he set off for the Ministry of Revenue.

The reason why he came to the Censorate was not for the martial arts in the No. 1 inner treasury.

The third row of Xuanwu Avenue is where the Ministry of Revenue is located.

The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the world's financial power, and its authority was almost second only to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites.

The well-deserved God of Wealth.

Bai Yuan's family lives on Xuanwu Avenue, so if you turn left and walk for about an incense stick's time, you will reach the Ministry of Revenue.

After revealing his identity as the Left Vice-Minister of the Censorate, he walked into the side hall of the Ministry of Revenue smoothly.

It is true that no one wants to make friends with the Censorate, and it is also true that no one dares to offend him.

With such great power in hand, no official would dare to provoke the censors of the Censorate.
