Chapter 547 Cui Liang meets Wu Yanhao
Cui Liang raised his eyebrows, grasped the key point, and asked quickly:
"What do you mean, General?"
Zhang Huan half raised his head and said proudly:
"You may not know, Governor. We have followed His Royal Highness Duke Qin all over the country and we know your temperaments."
Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng looked at each other and only knew that Li Cunxi had a bad temper, but they didn't know about the others.
"Please tell me clearly, General. We will definitely reward you handsomely!!"
Zhang Huan looked back and confirmed that no one was peeking on the deck before speaking:
"Duke Qin is cold and indifferent, Shao Yin Wu has a strange temper, and Doctor Lu doesn't like to see people."
"General Tiger and General Li are like tigers in a cage, and it is frightening to see them."
"The Demon Spirit Pavilion Leader and Shadow Pavilion Leader are the masters of the Inner Guard Bureau. They are willing to interrogate even the senior officials of the court, let alone the two masters?"
"As for the Minister of Works Feng Keyan and the Minister of Water Resources Li Han, forget it. They are very busy right now, trying to investigate the Han Canal boat capsize case. They have no clues and will not see you."
Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It couldn't be better now that all these people were on board.
As long as these people can't find anything, they can rest easy and reopen the case of the Han Canal boat capsizing next year.
The two of them left happily and walked all the way to the governor's mansion.
Zhang Huan and Li Lang then came to the ship's tower.
"Wu Shaoyin."
The two of them bowed and looked at Wu Yanhao who was eating.
"Give some of the bribe they give you to the soldiers, and the rest you two can share."
"clear."
"Tomorrow at 9:00 pm, I will meet them both on the deck. Don't reveal anything about Duke Qin. Don't forget."
"We understand, please rest assured, Wu Shaoyin."
……
At 9:00 p.m. the next day, Wu Yanhao, already fully packed, walked out of the deck, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, and a sachet and a tortoise bag tied to his waist.
For today's meeting, Wu Yanhao even changed into an official robe.
There were no waves today, the sky was bright, cloudless, and the breeze was gentle. Wu Yanhao made a hugging gesture and put on a professional smile on his face.
At the bottom of the boarding ladder, Zhang Huan and Li Lang picked up the heavy bags, and then smiled as they led Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng onto the deck.
"Wu Shaoyin, Yangzhou Governor Cui Liang and Chief Clerk Wu Wendeng have arrived."
After Zhang Huan introduced the two dog officials, he turned around and introduced Wu Yanhao:
"Inspector Cui, Chief Clerk Wu, this is Lord Wu, the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture, the only subordinate of His Royal Highness the Duke of Qin."
Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng did not dare to be negligent and quickly stood together and bowed to Wu Yanhao.
"Your humble servant is Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou."
"I am Wu Wendeng, the governor of Yangzhou."
"Meet Wu Shaoyin."
Wu Yanhao turned around and faced Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng, and the professional smile on his face seemed to be a little off.
Looking at Cui Liang's face that resembled Crown Prince Li Xian, Wu Yanhao could hardly hold back.
In the past, Li Cunxi always said that the Governor of Yangzhou, Cui Liang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked so similar that they were almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Before today, Wu Yanhao still had doubts about this sentence.
Now that he had seen the real person, he could only say that there was nothing wrong with what Li Cunxi said.
After Yangzhou Governor Cui Liang shaved his beard, he basically turned out to be Crown Prince Li Xian. After he changed into Li Xian's clothes, no one could tell him apart.
"You two adults, are you not happy that you didn't get to meet Duke Qin?"
"Yesterday, the two of you wanted to see him, but Duke Qin was not interested in you, so he asked me to do it for you."
Wu Yanhao pretended to be serious and glanced at the two of them coldly.
"My Lords, please stop saying those polite words. I know that I am already the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture at a young age. I hold a high position and am considered a young talent."
"Okay, I have finished my polite words, now you can tell me why you are here."
Cui Liang was sweating profusely and smiled awkwardly.
He had been planning to flatter Wu Yanhao, but God knows Wu Yanhao did the flattering for him himself to save trouble.
"Master Wu is truly unique."
Cui Liang wiped his sweat.
"Wu Shaoyin, we are here to pay our respects to you all..."
"Let's get down to business."
"Yes, yes, yes. Because of the repeated capsizing of ships in the Han Canal area, there was a salt shortage in Huaibei. Fortunately, the transport office made efforts and the boatmen risked their lives to retrieve the official salt and put it into the market..."
"speak English."
"Okay, okay, okay, it's like this, the matter here is over, what are you gentlemen here to investigate?"
Wu Yanhao sneered and said, "Hasn't Governor Cui heard that we should do our job? Although this matter has been completed, we have no choice but to come and check it out."
"Is this what Wu Shaoyin meant?"
As soon as Cui Liang asked the question, he immediately caught Wu Yanhao's sharp gaze.
He couldn't help but curse himself for being so stupid. After being an official for so many years, he had completely forgotten about things like eating and drinking at public expense.
It was obvious that Wu Yanhao meant to take advantage of this opportunity to investigate a major case on behalf of the emperor to have some fun in Yangzhou.
"Wu Shaoyin, I was just stupid for a moment. I hope you don't mind."
"What Governor Cui said, haha." Wu Yanhao looked at Cui Liang with a sneer.
"Wu Shaoyin, this..."
"Originally, the case has been closed. We just want to spend some time in Yangzhou. After returning to Beijing, we can tell His Majesty that we have found nothing unusual."
"Wu Shaoyin, this answer now is also very good." Cui Liang said hurriedly.
"Excellent?" Wu Yanhao sneered. "I am afraid that Governor Cui will write to the emperor, saying that we are eating, drinking and having fun in Yangzhou and ignoring the important affairs of the court, and he will use this as an excuse to accuse us."
"We dare not, Wu Shaoyin, how dare we do this?"
Cui Liang secretly groaned, thinking that Wu Yanhao had originally been planning to go out and play for a few days, so why did he have to add a little trouble?
Now, Wu Yanhao is afraid that I will write a letter to complain about him.
"Humph, since Governor Cui doesn't like us being so idle, then we have no choice but to investigate this Han Canal thoroughly."
"If we don't find anything, Governor Cui can easily clear himself off."
"If we do find any clues, Governor Cui should just take care of himself."
"Hmph, you guys go back now. I won't see you off."
Wu Yanhao walked into the deck angrily, not giving Cui Liang any face at all.
"Wu Shaoyin, Wu Shaoyin, I just didn't think straight for a moment, please don't mind, Wu Shaoyin, Wu..."
Cui Liang made a bitter face and called out a few times, but seeing that the other party ignored him, he had to walk down the ladder dejectedly.
Zhang Huan followed behind and saw Cui Liang standing on the ground, so he said:
"You, Governor Cui, are so unreasonable. We have tried so hard to persuade you to meet with us, but you are so unreasonable. We will definitely scold you when we get back."
Li Lang also looked unhappy and said:
"After all, Governor Cui has been immersed in the officialdom for many years. Why is he so unwise today?"
"Forget it, take all the gold back, but don't tell anyone that we accepted bribes."
