Chapter 445 Xie Ying Fishing, Forcing Someone to Take the Bait
Chapter 445 Xie Ying Fishing, Forcing Someone to Take the Bait
The family rushed to Gusu with mixed feelings.
Along the way, Xie Di always looked around curiously.
This little glutton will start asking for food as soon as he smells the fragrance of food.
Tu Jiaojiao was worried that the food outside was not clean and that he would get an upset stomach, so she coaxed and deceived him along the way and even cooked for him herself before she calmed him down.
Thanks to the escort of the Black Kirin Guards, the journey was very safe and the family arrived in Gusu smoothly.
After Xie Xiu took office, they lived in the backyard of the yamen.
On the first day of moving in, Xie Ying took advantage of her young age and strolled around the entire yamen.
Although she was a small person, she had to put her hands behind her back and walk around with her chin held high like an adult, which made all the officials laugh.
Xie Ying noticed everyone's gazes and curled her lips in disgust.
Do you really think she is just strolling around?
She took the opportunity to stroll around and quietly spread the fragrant seeds to every corner of the yamen.
This is equivalent to installing countless surveillance cameras throughout the yamen.
As long as she wanted, everything that happened here would not escape her eyes and ears.
If someone wants to do something bad or plot something secretly, she will be the first to know about it.
Don't think she doesn't know that although Xie Xiu seems to have been promoted this time, in fact, this job is not easy.
Previously, my uncle was ordered to thoroughly investigate the unjust case in Gusu. As a result, King Zhou was found and many corrupt officials in King Zhou's lineage were uncovered.
After those people were arrested, a lot of positions naturally became vacant.
Emperor Taihe thought of his father and planned to let him come to Gusu for training.
Yang Shu had plotted against my father before, and Yang Xiu had someone steal her away, which made her a big enemy of my father.
By letting Daddy come to Gusu, Emperor Taihe wouldn't have to worry about him being bribed by the remnants of King Zhou's forces, and he even hoped that Daddy could bring out more people.
Although his uncle had already caught many people, Emperor Taihe was still worried.
He was always worried that King Zhou still had some forces hiding in the dark, and he would not be able to sleep or eat unless he brought all those people out.
So he not only sent his father over, but also specifically told his father to bring her along, just to use them as bait to lure out the hidden forces of King Zhou and the remnants of the Chen family.
However, although Emperor Taihe used her as bait, he did not want anything to happen to this little lucky star, so he specifically instructed his uncle to protect her.
Xie Ying had no doubt that even if there was no hidden power of King Zhou in Gusu, there were remnants of the Chen and Jia families.
For Jia Rui to be able to work for King Zhou, he must have hidden a spy in Gusu.
Although this man is dead, Chen Shou is still alive!
When my father bought the Chen family's land at a low price, he ended up getting a large coal mine. However, this made Chen Shou so angry that he took direct action and was willing to expose the thorns buried in the capital for many years in order to destroy their coal mine business.
Now that they have come to Gusu, how could Chen Shou possibly hold back from taking action?
This person must have placed people in the yamen. It is even very likely that as soon as the news that my father became the governor of Gusu reached him, he had already placed people in the yamen.
My uncle had arrested a lot of people before, so there was naturally a major reshuffle in the officialdom of Gusu. It was the easiest time to stuff people into the yamen.
Because there are so many people coming in, everyone who comes in will be a suspect. It will be a huge project to investigate all of them.
Xie Ying didn't intend to spend the effort, so she simply installed "surveillance" everywhere in the yamen and waited for the other party to take action.
Even if Chen Shou can keep his composure, she still has plenty of ways to force this man to take action!
After Xie Ying finished her stroll, she happily went to the kitchen in her backyard to see what dishes were in the kitchen.
I didn’t expect the kitchen to be such a mess and hadn’t been cleaned up yet.
After all, they had just moved in, and all the luggage they brought needed to be packed, and the original house also needed to be cleaned.
In fact, when they moved in, the house and furniture looked very clean, but Tu Jiaojiao still asked the servants to clean it again, otherwise she would not feel at ease.
Even when Xie Ying went out for a walk, she specially arranged for a maid to follow her.
Anyway, for convenience on the road, the little maid wore men's clothes and looked like a handsome young boy. Even if she went to the office in the front, she was not afraid of being gossiped about.
After all, they were just walking outside and didn't enter the room.
After all, Xie Ying was the Princess of Fu'an, personally appointed by His Majesty, and she was a little girl less than two years old. Could anyone still find fault with her etiquette and rules?
Seeing her daughter come back, Tu Jiaojiao immediately waved her over and gently touched her forehead.
Seeing that her forehead was not hot, he smiled and asked, "Are you tired after taking a walk?"
Xie Ying nodded and sat down next to her: "Mom, the house here is so beautiful!"
Tu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "This is Gusu after all. It's very different from the capital."
Not only are the houses here beautifully built, but the courtyards and gardens are also very beautiful.
There are exotic flowers and plants, rockery and strange rocks, and every step you take brings a new scene, which is dazzling.
Unlike the capital, because of the large population, hundreds of thousands of people are crowded together, so every inch of land is valuable and living conditions are very crowded.
Even with such a noble status as the eldest princess, her princess mansion cannot be too big.
Let alone others.
The Prince Zhou's Palace was more spacious than the Princess's Palace, but unfortunately after Prince Zhou got into trouble, he was stripped of his princely title.
His descendants also lost the qualification to live in the Zhou Palace.
Although Emperor Taihe granted another house, it was only suitable for Yang Jing's family to live in, but it was too cramped to accommodate everyone.
Even if Yang Jing was unwilling, he didn't dare to mention dividing the family and driving all his brothers out.
After all, his father is only paralyzed due to a stroke and is not dead yet!
His stepmother is still alive, how can he divide the family property?
What's worse is that he has to support a group of concubines! He dare not drive them out.
Otherwise, if these women knelt and cried at his doorstep, the title of General Auxiliary to the State, which he had just obtained and had not even started to feel warm in his heart, would probably be taken back by Emperor Taihe!
Tu Jiaojiao smiled sarcastically, but her eyes were particularly gentle when she looked at the pair of young children.
……
By the time we finally finished cleaning up, it was almost evening.
After the family had dinner, Tu Jiaojiao personally took the children to the bathroom to take a bath.
Xie Xiu had just arrived to take up his new post and had a lot of things to deal with, so he couldn't bathe his son himself like he used to.
Fortunately, there are many servants serving at home now, so Tu Jiaojiao doesn’t have to worry about not being able to handle it all by herself.
However, when they came to Gusu, they could not rely on their own people alone, so they had to find some local people to serve them.
Only these local people understand the local situation better, and if they want to integrate into the local community, they cannot do without the help of local people.
So soon after Tu Jiaojiao arrived, she sent someone to notify the local human traffickers, asking them to prepare suitable candidates and send them to the prefectural government office the next day.
These human traffickers were quite capable. Not long after Xie Ying's family had finished breakfast the next day, they brought people over.
