In the back hall of the yamen, Mu Xiaojiu, Lin Lizheng, Hu Xiaoxian, and Mu Duan were sitting around a round table, while Li Xiaobai and the two catchers were serving dishes to the table.

"Huh? Why hasn't Lao Li come back yet? After the six side dishes were served, Lin Lizheng said casually with some doubts: "Could it be that Zhou Li's little girl has woken up?" Alas, Wood-sama, you don't mind waiting a little longer. ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Lin Lizheng and smiled lightly, if he was another official, even if he had dinner at the same table with his subordinates, he would not say that because of a catcher, he would let his dignified imperial envoy wait for the meal. But thinking about it, Lin Lizheng's father is the one who impeached himself several times and made the little emperor Yingluan have a headache, Mu Xiaojiu was relieved.

"Of course it doesn't matter, speaking of which, this temperament is the same as your father." Mu Xiaojiu made a statement to dispel Lin Lizheng's apprehension, and teased.

Lin Lizheng was fine, but when he heard Mu Xiaojiu's words, he couldn't help but blush.

Speaking of which, it is also an interesting story in the officialdom of the capital, and it is also a rare stain on Lin Lizheng's father, Lin Du Yushi for many years. But this was already three years ago, and Mu Xiaojiu could know it, also because once when he went to look for the little emperor, the little emperor happened to be watching Lin Du Yushi's impeachment of Mu Xiaojiu, and the two got together to chat, and brought this matter out.

Lin Du Yushi is good at everything, but there are two points, although he also knows that it is his biggest shortcoming, but he has not been able to change it.

The first drawback is that Lin Du Yushi is a person who strictly abides by the rules. This is actually not a big disadvantage, but Lin Du Yushi is the person who accompanies the emperor, you must know that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, if the emperor doesn't want to abide by the rules, you still have to abide by the rules, then you can't get along with the official position, unless you can lean towards the government and the opposition.

However, it just so happened that the emperors of the two dynasties served by Lin Du Yushi, that is, the little emperor Yingluan and his father, are the kind of people who don't like to follow the rules, which can be seen from the fact that the emperor allowed Mu Xiaojiu to enter the harem casually, gave Mu Xiaojiu an official at will, and even let Mu Xiaojiu stay in the palace overnight.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the two generations of emperors, the little emperor Yingluan and his father, who were both virtuous in addition to being unruly, it is estimated that even if Lin Du Yushi could keep his head, he would definitely not be able to keep his official position.

And the second problem of this Lin Du Yushi is that he believes in his subordinates very much, although he often claims that he is "suspicious people don't need to be used, and people are not suspicious", but to be honest, he himself is actually just laughing at himself.

To what extent does Lin Du Yushi believe that his subordinates believe? For him, apart from his family and the emperor, the people he trusted most were his men.

That time, when the ruthlessness of the four famous arrests was investigating a case of the disappearance of a young boy and girl in the capital, he bumped into a person under Lin Du Yushi who was related to this case, and even a direct participant in this case. Therefore, ruthlessly sent someone to arrest this guy directly.

As a result, I didn't expect that after Lin Du Yushi learned about it the next day, he was furious, and he shot the case directly, and rushed all the way to the Shenhou Mansion in a hurry. After entering, he didn't give Zhuge Zheng my face, and directly opened his mouth to ask for someone, Zhuge Zheng explained to me several times, but he couldn't make Lin Du Yushi give up, and said that his subordinates were framed.

In desperation, Zhuge Zheng and I arranged for Lin Du Yushi to confront his subordinates. At the beginning, that guy was still defending himself, but when Zhuge Zhengme and Ruthless took out the evidence one by one, and even asked Tie Shou to identify the other two case participants, that guy could only admit it.

Lin Du Yushi was half angry for this, and he felt deeply sorry for Zhuge Zheng, so he went to the Shenhou Mansion again that night, and came to ask for guilt. When it came to the court the next day, Lin Du Yushi directly resigned, wanting to return to his hometown.

The little emperor was puzzled at the time, and only under Zhuge Zheng's explanation did he understand what was going on. Some of the little emperors who couldn't cry or laugh opened their mouths several times, but in the end they still didn't allow Lin Du Yushi to return to his hometown.

Since this incident, the entire officialdom in the capital has known that this Lin Du Yushi is a good boss who "treats his subordinates like family", and several fellow villagers of Lin Du Yushi have made fun of Lin Du Yushi about this matter. Lin Du Yushi also knew his fatal shortcoming, but he still didn't think about correcting it.

Lin Lizheng, as the son of Lin Du Yushi, is naturally called the "second generation of officials" in the capital. Although he never behaved nonsense, he didn't get together with those dumb kids and fooled around every day. But the "second generation of officials" in the capital are not all gentlemen, and the other more reliable guys still have a very good relationship with Lin Lizheng. Therefore, people in this circle have also teased Lin Lizheng about this matter.

However, since he came out of the capital and came to this Zhu Pavilion, no one has mentioned this matter. Unexpectedly, now, this is a bit of an "old rotten grain" for him, but it was turned over by Mu Xiaojiu.

"This ...... Wood laughed. Lin Lizheng's old face flushed, "How dare you compare with my father?" I can do this only because my father has always been very well educated. ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Lin Lizheng with a smile, and then suddenly remembered something, and gently knocked on the table, "By the way, Lin Lizheng, I almost forgot, after talking for so long, I don't know what your name is." ”

Lin Li was stunned, and then patted his head as well, "Hey, look at my memory, I also forgot about it." Master Mu, get acquainted again, under the surname Lin, named Lin Qin. As he spoke, he arched his hand at Mu Xiaojiu, and Mu Xiaojiu also smiled back.

At this time, the figure of Lao Li, the head catcher, suddenly appeared at the door of the back hall.

"Eh, Lao Li, you're back." Lin Qin's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "By the way, why is it so slow?" Did the girl of the Zhou family wake up? ”

Lao Li nodded, then took two steps to the side, and Xiao Yukuai walked out from the side with Zhou Li in his arms.

"Huh? Why did you come over here? Lin Qin frowned slightly, "Miss Zhou Li has just been hit, she should have had a lot of news, looking at this way, she is obviously still a little weak, how can Lao Li and the two of them let Miss Zhou Li walk around on the ground?" ”

After Zhou Li arrived at the door, she raised her head and took a look, and was about to ask where her benefactor was, but she saw the last person she saw before she fell unconscious.
