Chapter 127 What a coincidence, we just love to meddle in other people’s affairs
"What a great and upright ruler! How could the imperial court be so kind as to come to our aid?"
"It seems that the imperial court still cares about us ordinary people!"
"They are civilian heroes recruited by the imperial court. I heard they saved many people along the way!"
"I heard it was an order from the royal family themselves, asking them to monitor those corrupt officials who were secretly harboring evil intentions!"
……
As long as Lu Yan and his companions walked along, these sounds swept towards the center of the imperial city with their footsteps.
Even if some local officials wanted to suppress them, they could not resist the gossip network among the people. What's worse, many local officials who were unaware of the facts really believed that this group of people were inspectors sent by the court, and treated them with great respect and courtesy.
"Okay, okay. I will report this to the central government and inform His Majesty. Lord Zheng is honest and upright to his superiors and kind and generous to his subordinates. I am ashamed of myself!" Lu Yan pointed to the silver notes as thick as a book in his hand. Without even raising his eyes, he started to praise them. However, it was this greedy look that made Zheng Lian disdain in his heart, but at the same time he believed that these people were indeed sent by the court.
"That's really a big trouble for you, Lord Lu. You are so young and yet you are already serving the Central Committee. You have a bright future! If you have any instructions in the future, please let me know. Zheng, let me know about other things, but I still need your help on this matter."
The two of them sang in unison, grinning wickedly.
Behind the two of them, Wu Sunyang leaned against the wall and chatted with Song He. Song He was waving a fan with an unfathomable expression on his face.
"Ayan has been amazing all this time. He's been a corrupt official for so many years now. Where did he learn these tricks? I can't even explain them."
"Guess why he followed me? You're so simple-minded, and if you're strong-limbed, you're just going to throw your head away."
"Then what are you using it for?"
"Me? How dare you ask? If I wasn't here to watch over you, you wouldn't even know where that maid had tricked you into going last time. If it weren't for me and Xiao Jin'an, all our plans would have been ruined by you!"
"Who knew a girl could have so many complicated thoughts? Isn't this making her confused? It's true that a woman's heart is as unpredictable as a needle in the sea." Wu Sunyang sighed heavily.
The two of them were whispering a little louder, and when they looked up, they saw Lu Yan looking at them sinisterly.
"Ahahaha, your fan is of good quality!"
"Haha, let me fan you. The wind is cool too!"
Zheng Lian continued to look at Lu Yan. They were just two uneducated guys and there was nothing much to observe. "Sir Lu, our conversation ends here. The rest of the journey depends on you." He bowed forward.
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes, a half-smile on his lips. His fingers hovered over his arm, and he finally helped him pat the non-existent dust off his sleeve. "Master Zheng's money didn't come easily. Naturally, I must do my best to climb up the ladder. When the day comes for him to be promoted to an official position and a noble title, I must take good care of this blessing from Master Zheng."
After they left the house, Lu Yan's face, which had just been smiling, immediately darkened. He handed the money to Song He and said, "As usual, return the money to those who were oppressed and extorted by him. Speak kindly to them as always, and then give them three times the compensation."
"Then the rumor that's been spreading this time is that Lord Zheng is kind and generous, and that he usually delivers three times the labor he needs. His people are so grateful to him that they call him their second parents. He's even more generous than the God of Wealth in giving away wealth."
Song He took the banknote and nodded.
When Lu Yan was about to step into the carriage, he saw a few more people coming out of the small door of the mansion.
When those people saw that Lu Yan and his companions had not left yet, their expressions became a little stiff, and they hid the things in their hands behind their backs.
It was a large sack, and the dragging marks on the ground clearly showed that the contents were very heavy.
Song He narrowed his eyes and whispered in Lu Yan's ear, "The outline inside looks a bit like a human."
Lu Yan's pupils shrank, and he immediately walked towards them with big strides.
When the servants saw that they were still coming towards them, they looked panicked and hid the sacks in their hands tightly behind their backs.
They are also people living at the bottom, and we have heard rumors about them. They hate evil and are decisive in killing. Because of their ruthless methods, they are recruited by the higher-ups to monitor all officials.
The servants lowered their heads and were discussing something. Lu Yan only heard one sentence when he walked over.
"They should leave us alone after receiving the master's money."
Lu Yan raised the corners of his lips and gave a standard social smile. "Where are you going? You're carrying such heavy things, and there's no carriage to pick you up."
The few people looked at the person who came and found that he was not as scary as the rumors said. His pink and white lips and teeth made people feel very favorable. However, they still hid their things tightly behind their backs and remained vigilant.
"We have a carriage, but the driver hasn't arrived yet. My Lords, please hurry on and don't waste your time with servants."
"Someone has come out of the mansion, and we must not arouse suspicion." Song He whispered a reminder behind Lu Yan's ear.
Lu Yan smiled with his eyes crooked, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "A carriage would be fine. Since you are carrying too much stuff, we thought you didn't have a carriage, so we gave you a ride."
Lu Yan glanced at the man coming out of the mansion and said with a smile, "How come Housekeeper Zhang is out? But Lord Zheng knew we hadn't left yet and came to see us off. That was really polite."
Butler Zhang bowed to Lu Yan and his group, smiling politely, "Have a safe journey, my lord. I came out to take care of some matters." He then tilted his head and fiercely kicked the nearest servant a few times, "You're dawdling when I asked you to do something, and you're even rude to my lord's guests. Get out of here now."
Lu Yan raised his hand and said, "Don't blame them. We are the ones who are disturbing them." He looked at the sack and said, "I wonder what it is that made Butler Zhang come out to give such instructions."
"It must be something very important."
Butler Zhang bowed and said calmly, "Since you have accepted our gift, there are some private matters that you do not need to ask about."
Wu Sunyang walked forward, pinched the man's shoulder and used his hidden strength, causing Butler Zhang's facial features to twist into a ferocious state.
"What a coincidence, we are here to take care of private matters."
