The art of painting was a great weapon for Mu Shu. Although it would eventually turn into the art of painting Mu Mu, since one of them was willing to fight against the other, Lu Jinsheng didn't care about it.
There were about 40 to 50 guards in the courtyard that had been cleaned up. Lu JinNian frowned, ”If it was only Princess Rongqing who arranged this, then there would be too many people.”
When Mu Shu saw Lu JinNian walking over, he crossed his arms and once again revealed a dissatisfied expression, ”These people aren't dead yet. Why don't we just detain them and interrogate them.”
”Mu Shu is truly a god. I'm impressed.” Lu JinNian raised his eyebrows. ”Then we'll leave this matter to Mu Shu. Go call our men over. I can see that none of the mansions around here are occupied. These people should first lock up in the houses nearby and set up some traps. As for the painting …
Lu Jinjian looked at Mu Painting and said, ”You will be hiding in the Princess Mansion. If anyone tries to infiltrate again, arrest them. If there's an accident and you have to protect yourself, I will allow you to kill them.”
”...”
Dawn's Twilight was at the end of his field of vision, outlining the world that was still submerged in the silence of the night. The clear morning dew permeated the air, coalescing into one group that danced around each other and turned into a drizzle.
After another sleepless night, it was finally time for Lu JinNian to arrange the layout of the Princess' residence. The entire Liang Jing City was still in a deep slumber, with only a few shops and Lu JinNian's place to go. The lanterns in front of the doors were still brightly lit.
The red lacquered drum was in front of the Jing Zhao Residence. Under the light rain, the cracks and lines of the lacquered drum were clear, showing that it had been here for a long time.
The two yamen runners in front of the door had just replaced them. They were full of spirit as they held their fire and water sticks. When they saw Lu JinNian walking towards the yamen, they revealed a kind smile.
”This little brother, is it a complaint or a report?”
Fine, this yamen is very close to the people!
Lu JinNian returned a smile, ”Hello officials and big brothers. I am Chu Qing. I am looking for someone. May I ask if Young Master Pei Yu is at the yamen?”
No matter how close the people were, the Jing Zhao Estate was still an official government administration. They naturally wouldn't directly lure Lu JinNian to the office to look for someone. They had their own guest room, which was filled with tea and snacks, as well as toilet paper and towels.
It seemed like there was someone reporting the grievances of the people, who was also brought here to calm his mind and explain the case in a calm manner. A toilet towel was used to wipe his tears and snot, just in case he was in need.
Lu JinNian had his hands behind his back as he looked at a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall. His calligraphy brush was like a dragon and a snake. Although he was very old, his sharpness and determination could not be eliminated by the passing of time.
Written on the book were eight big words, ”Request orders for the people, the people shall be the first.”
Lu JinNian was staring blankly at Mo Shu. Only when the sound of footsteps came from behind did he regain his senses. He turned around and saw Pei Yu walking over.
”This calligraphy was written by Qian Ji when the Ming Xuan Country was just established. It was written by Qian Ji when the Ming Xuan Country was first established. It is the responsibility of the Jing Zhao Estate.”
He wore the gown of a scholar, and was steady and refined. He lacked the impatience of a young man, and added a lot of wisdom and patience.
Lu JinNian smiled, ”It seems like Brother Yu has studied a lot in the Capital Prefecture.”
Pei Yu looked at Lu Jin Nian's outfit and was speechless for a while, ”So … ”Where did you go?”
Lu JinNian found a chair and sat down, ”Brother Yu understands the Lin Chuan pleasure boat.”
Pei Yu, ”…” This girl was addicted to visiting brothels?
”When I was having fun, I thought that Brother Yu, such an astute and studious person, would come to the Jing Zhao Estate early to be on duty. It's true that I would be able to see you here at this time.”
