Chapter 656 Inquiry

Finally, she asked the female guard to stay at home and chose a male guard named Xiang Ming to take her with her.

When doing things around her, Zhou Chun is indispensable, so naturally Zhou Chun must be brought along.

So now all kinds of chores fall on Zhou Chun. He has to win over all kinds of people in the yamen, find out information, and sometimes do things for Zhao Ruxi.

Fortunately, Ma Wushi and his servants would be waiting at the yamen gate. If there were any errands that needed to be run, Zhou Chun only had to go out and give instructions, and someone would do it without him having to show up.

"What did the adults say? This is a small person's business." Zhou Chun said with a smile.

After entering the yamen, he changed his address and no longer called "girl" but "sir."

"There's nothing to do now. I'll go out for a walk now and see what the various government offices are busy with." Zhou Chun added, "By the way, I'll remind Guan Jian'an and two others."

"Okay, you go ahead." Zhao Ruxi nodded.

When Xiang Ming saw it, he couldn't help but move.

He is the bodyguard sent by His Highness King Qi to the future Princess Qi. As long as he protects Zhao Ruxi's safety and prevents her from getting into trouble, he will have completed his mission.

It turned out that Xiang Ming also planned this.

During this period, he followed Zhao Ruxi from the capital to Nanyang. Although he thought Zhao Ruxi was good, he only thought that she was talented, but not very powerful in terms of ability and means.

But when he saw that Zhao Ruxi had just dealt with Cai Yaozong and Liu Hongyu, forcing the two old officials to come to power, his views changed dramatically.

No wonder His Highness King Qi wanted to marry her wholeheartedly and even allowed her to become an official and hang out with those men. That was because Miss Zhao was capable.

He suddenly felt that it was a waste of opportunity for him not to seek merit but to stay by the future Princess Qi's side without any fault.

He can't be an indispensable confidant to His Highness King Qi, so wouldn't it be nice to be an indispensable person to Miss Zhao? Maybe King Qi will have to listen to Princess Qi in the future.

Thinking like this, he quickly said: "Sir, how about I go out for a walk too?"

Zhao Ruxi nodded and said, "Okay, you can go too."

She was also very curious about the people Xiao Lingyan sent to her side, and wanted to see what Xiang Ming was capable of. She was also happy for these three guards to take the initiative to do things for her.

When people were sent to her side, Xiao Lingyan must have given them orders, and they would obey orders to protect her. But these three people were convinced of her from the bottom of their hearts, and whether they were willing to be loyal to her and take the initiative to do things for her. In terms of attitude,

They are different, and her acceptance of the three of them is also different.

If the three of them only regard her as a task and have no intention of taking the initiative to get close to her, then when she returns to the capital, she will return these three people to Xiao Lingyan and will not ask them to come to her again in the future.

But if the three of them are willing to take refuge, even if she returns to Beijing to marry Xiao Lingyan in the future, she will still keep these three by her side.

Now that she is in the Yamen, and protected by Luo Shi, she is not helpless, and there is no enemy who is determined to take her life. She does not need to be nervous and need Xiang Ming to guard her at all times.

Or Xiang Ming can be allowed to play freely.

Seeing that Xiang Ming also took the task and went out, Luo Shi suddenly felt that he was useless.

She looked around the room and found that although the room had been cleaned and the tables, chairs and floors were not dirty, the corners had not been cleaned.

She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Sir, the room is not very clean. Please clean it again."

Zhao Ruxi had no choice but to say: "Okay."

Luo Shi went out for a walk, and got a basin, half a basin of water, and a rag from somewhere. He wiped the house clean and cleaned it up.

Zhao Ruxi took out a book from her sleeve pocket and sat there reading the book with gusto, looking leisurely and contented.

When Luo Shi had cleaned the house until the windows were bright and clean, Xiang Ming came back.

He reported: "Guan Jian'an first went to the middle room in the east wing and stayed there for a long time before coming out. Qin Wang was waiting in the corridor. After Guan Jian'an came out, he led Qin Wang there

The room on the left."

Although he went to inquire for information, he also knew that his most important task was to protect Zhao Ruxi's safety. Therefore, he did not dare to go far, let alone run into other people's offices to chat with people like Zhou Chun did.

He was just standing where he could see Zhao Ruxi's house door and Guan Jian'an, watching Guan Jian'an's movements from a distance.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruxi understood where Guan Jianan had just gone.

The general layout of ancient yamen was similar.

In yamen such as prefecture and county yamen, officials work in a large courtyard. A row of main rooms facing north and south is where the officials work. The east wing and the west wing are the six-room offices, and the government officials

In another yard.

In ancient times, the center was respected, so the room in the middle of the south room was the office room of the magistrate; the middle room in the east chamber was where the staff room was located. On the left side of the staff room was the household room; on the right side was the ceremonial room.

In the center of the west wing is the barracks, the punishment room on the left, and the workshop on the right.

Because there are basically about ten scribes under the jurisdiction of each room, the office space in each room is very large. The interior can be separated by screens or walls, but the layout is roughly like this.

Although salt and grain were managed under Cai Yaozong's name, their accounts and files were kept in the household.

It stands to reason that Guan Jian'an should go to the household room, not the official room. But now he goes straight to the official room. Is he going to ask Chen Kang for instructions? Is he going to ask Chen Kang for advice or does he want Chen Kang to order the household manager?

Cheng Wang Yongshou moved the files and accounts?

Zhao Ruxi touched her chin with an interesting expression.

After about half a cup of tea, Guan Jianan and Qin Wang did not come back, but Zhou Chun did.

He said: "I just went to the workshop to chat for a while and made an appointment with Hu Jingcheng from the workshop for lunch."

Zhao Ruxi nodded approvingly: "Very good."

The other subordinates all have their own masters and are not easy to mess with. However, the workroom is the last one among the six houses. It has no rights and no salary, so it has always been unpopular. Zhou Chun may be suspected of all kinds when he goes to other places.

I'll give you a cold treatment, but there won't be any problem if you go to the Ministry of Industry.

Zhou Chun doesn’t need to ask anything from Gongfang Jingcheng. He only needs to inquire about the relationship between the subordinates in each room. As long as he stays in the yamen for a long time, he can always know this kind of thing. There is nothing to keep secret. If Gongfang Jingcheng wants to sell her,

This new colleague knew a favor and would naturally tell Zhou Chun about this.

Zhou Chun had also inquired about the situation of the subordinate officials in the Yamen before, but in the end it was limited and not as much as these old officials knew.
