Li Xu was so angry. This was too ugly. He had been with the master for more than two years, but he had never suffered such grievances? Our master is a sixth-rank magistrate of the court. How could he live in a inferior guest room that only the common people live in!

But before he could have an attack, the guy behind the counter responded: "Is there any problem with this? Just a prefect, and when you arrive in the capital, you will be considered a cheap arrangement. If you don't want to live, you can leave. Spend your own money, live wherever you like, and how enjoyable it is to buy a big mansion?

"Don't think that a prefect can scare us by counting a character in the place. Don't look at where this is! This is Luoyang, the capital, and which official is not bigger than the prefect?"

The other person's ridicule made Li Xu blush with anger. He almost wanted to pounce on him and pull him out and beat him up. However, a voice sounded from behind, which made him bear it: "As far as I know, officials above the prefect who came to Beijing from other places have the right to have a single courtyard in the inn with a single courtyard in the first half of the month. Why is there only such a thing to do when you get here?" However, Li Ling walked up with a calm expression.

He must have been shocked by his aura. The guy was obviously hesitant, but then he sneered again: "What kind of old calendar are you? Now our inn is just arranged. If you want to live, you can live. If you don't live, please leave. By the way, I would like to advise you again, the three major inns in our capital are the same. Maybe there is no such room elsewhere for you to live in an adult like this."

As he said, the prefect is really nothing in Luoyang City, so he has no intention of doing things according to the rules. He doesn't know if he really has no house or is he unwilling to give it to him.

Li Ling looked at him deeply, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He nodded until he saw the other party, "Since that's the case, that's all. By the way, is this what you mean, or what your shopkeeper Yicheng mean?"

"Why, I want to complain about this? I advise you to save money. Don't put yourself in. You can sue me too. But if you want to know, I'm not afraid to tell you. This is what the Ministry of Rites means. We just do things according to our will." Obviously, the guy has encountered such a situation many times, and he didn't care at all, but looked at Li Ling provocatively.

"So that's it, I've been taught." Li Ling nodded slightly, and turned around and left without saying anything more, without seeing any anger. Seeing this, Li Xu beside him was unhappy and just snorted and followed. He knew that with his own master, it was naturally impossible to have a dispute with such a small person, and he would have lost his identity.

The other party was neither angry nor compromised and moved into the inferior guest room, which surprised the guest a little, and then muttered uneasyly: "Don't really have a background. But what other power can a prefect in the court be there?"

Anyway, because of the complicated things in the autumn, and the constant officials coming to Beijing to report their duties, the business here is already very good, and the guest rooms are almost full. Even if someone asks about it, it will be over if he makes excuses.

On the other side, Li Xu, who walked outside, was a little unwilling: "Master, is this matter just over?"

"What else do you want? Are you really making trouble here and waiting for others to laugh at?" Li Ling glanced at him, "Since there is no living here, then look for something else." After a few years, the officials did it.

His cunning is much deeper than before. Even if he is angry, he can't see any of it on the surface.

"But it's getting late now, and it's almost time to close the doors of the various fangfangs. I'm afraid it's too late to go to the house we arranged." The shopkeeper next to him said with a confused look on his face. He doesn't care. There are small hotels nearby that can deal with for a night, but the boss has a noble status, how can he do this so much?

Li Ling smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? There are not many other hotels in the capital, but there are not all hotels that can be checked in there?" Li Ling clicked on the small hotels in front of him, and there were indeed many customers entering. Because of the inn, there are indeed many hotels around Fumingfang. After all, except for officials, their entourage may not be able to stay in the free inn, so they can only take care of the small hotel business nearby.

"How could that happen?" The shopkeeper shook his head quickly. What is the identity of the boss? How could he suffer such grievances?

At this moment, the sound of drums sounded in the city. After three hundred times, the yards would be closed, and those who stayed outside would be caught by patrol soldiers, and there would be no need to beat the board.

The pedestrians on the road also started to walk home when they heard the sound. Li Ling glanced at the few people, "If we need to delay this, we will spend the night in the patrol yamen."

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he looked sweaty. He suddenly felt a little moved and said, "There is a place, there is a pretty good hotel in Zhengyifang next door. It may be a bit quiet enough just by relying on the Luoyang government office. However, staying for one night should not be a big problem."

"Then go there and deal with it for a night." Li Ling followed suit and said, then turned around the carriage, and the team moved forward again, and quickly left Fumingfang and moved into the Zhengyifang, which was a little quieter than here. Without taking two steps, Li Ling, who was lifting the curtain and looking around, saw the considerable Luoyang Prefecture Yamen in front of him.

Although it is also a government office, the Luoyang government office is much higher than Li Ling's Yangzhou government office. Whether it is the appearance of the yamen or the ranks of officials inside, they cannot be compared with each other. With the two prefects alone, Li Ling is the sixth rank, and may be able to reach the fifth rank in this year, but now Luoyang Yin is the fourth rank, wearing a red robe, and has truly entered the ranks of high-ranking officials.

However, even so, the Luoyang Prefecture Yamen still has a low presence in the entire Luoyang city. After all, this is a capital city and has too many important officials above a small prefecture Yamen. So after a while, the Luoyang Prefecture Yamen was placed in the east of the city, which seemed quite deserted. By the way, it also made many business around it cold, and the Huang Hotel, which is only half a street away from it, can still support it.

However, there are many idle courtyards in the hotel. When Li Ling and his group of ten people visited, the shopkeepers were very happy and personally brought them into the best courtyard. The service attitude was much higher than that in the inn.

So happy, Li Ling simply booked two courtyards for half a month. For unnecessary trouble, it would be nice to live in such a small hotel. Anyway, it is close to the inner city, so it is not too far to go to the Ministry of Personnel to report his duties, so after staying there, he didn't plan to move again.

When they were completely settled, it became dark. After the boats and cars were exhausted, they went back to their rooms to rest, only Wanshenji

He never slacked off because after entering the capital, he found five or six pairs of eyes following his team, staring at them all the way into the inn, but he didn't know what the other party was trying to do.

Obviously, many people have paid attention to Li Ling when he came to Beijing.

...

Li Ling had arrived in Luoyang and had not been in the inn, but stayed at the Huangjia Hotel in the east of the city.

Regarding Li Ling's whereabouts, he was soon sent to the desks of many noble people in the capital, and then he entered the update. Zuo Xiang Lu Zhen, who had just returned home, also learned the news from the people.

A gentle smile appeared on the old man's face: "It's been three years since he has done a good job in Jiangnan. I heard that Yangzhou is rich under his rule, and there are no one who dies of cold and starvation in two consecutive winters. I can really deserve the evaluation of a capable official."

"Yes, my family also mentioned that the Zongheng newspaper has been popular in Jiangnan recently, which has benefited a lot from both the Lu family and the Xie family."

"This is all a trivial matter. Compared with the government affairs he does in Jiangnan, it is not worth mentioning. By the way, are there anyone else paying attention to Li Ling's actions?"

"There are four or five families watching, but because I saw that they did not do anything else, my people did not disturb them."

"Do you know which ones it is?" Lu Zhen became interested and asked slowly as he served the tea.

"One of them is from the Censorate, the other is from the Imperial City Department. The other person looks like a casual man in the city, but later he found that the person who was connected with him was from the Yong Palace, so the other two people didn't know where they came."

Luoyang City is really big, with a population of one and a half million, hundreds of wealthy families, and countless shops, making the entire capital of Dayue seem so complex and rich. But it is really small, so small that those families with different identities can know everyone from other families well. As long as you want to investigate, there is nothing to hide from those who are interested.

Lu Zhen smiled: "Although four years have passed, some people still haven't forgotten this young man who likes to cause trouble. This time he comes, the capital is a bit lively and can watch it. By the way, why didn't he stay in the inn, but he ran to the small inn and fell into the small inn?"

"I heard that it was because the inn refused to prepare a separate courtyard for him according to the regulations, so the prefect Li took people away. You also know that the three inns in the capital have changed a little now..."

"Hmph, it's just a matter of money. No one impeached this matter. It's really nonsense." Lu Zhen slapped the teacup a few times and muttered unhappily, "But Li Wenzhong is much more steady this time than before, and he didn't make trouble because of this. It seems that after a while in Jiangnan, he has made great progress."

After pausing, he said again: "In this way, let a few guards in my mansion stay in the Huang family inn. I am worried that someone will be unfavorable to him. After all, it is not an official inn, and it is not good to see if something happens."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements for you now, and I'll have someone to move in tonight..."

"No, it's going tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I'll attract attention when I go there at this time." Lu Zhen waved his hand and looked at the sky. It was late at night. Who could go to the hotel after the curfew in the middle of the night?
