The coachman didn't say anything, but walked to the other side of the carriage and reached out to lift the curtain.

A person came out from inside.

Zhang Yu was stunned when he saw that pretty face.

Song Xiang got out of the car, came to Zhang Yu's side and said softly, "Greetings, Master Zhang."

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yu asked with a frown.

Being followed by someone was already an unpleasant thing, but Zhang Yu was even more surprised that the person he met was Song Xiang.

He was not only a little confused.

"Sir Zhang, how about we find a place to chat for a while?" Song Xiang said.

Without much hesitation, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

The two will continue to cooperate in the future, so it is reasonable for them to meet at this time.

"Then please get in the car, Mr. Zhang." Song Xiang said with a smile.

Zhang Yu felt it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to ride in the same carriage, so he said, "Why don't you go first, Miss, and I'll follow behind."

"Master Zhang, we will have much time to spend together in the future. Riding in a carriage together is just a small matter, so don't worry too much about it." Song Xiang thought for a moment and then said, "Please get in the carriage, Master Zhang."

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and got in the car.

When Zhang Yu got in and sat down, he found that the carriage was very spacious. Although it was an ordinary four-wheeled carriage, it must have been specially treated.

But before Zhang Yu could see too much, Song Xiang came up from downstairs and sat down opposite him.

Song Xiang smiled and asked, "Master Zhang, are you going back to the Ministry of Revenue to gather manpower?"

"How do you know?" Zhang Yu asked Song Xiang.

"We can easily find out about this." Song Xiang said with a smile, "We also know that you came to recruit Liao Daoyan, but it was not going smoothly. Liao Daoyan did not agree to Master Zhang."

"You guys got the news pretty quickly." Zhang Yu said in a deep voice.

"It's only because it involves Master Zhang that we have information," Song Xiang said. "Normally, the General Staff Office doesn't allow us to pry into the news of masters. If others find out, it will be troublesome. Whether it's the Censorate, the Imperial Guard, the Eastern Depot, or even the Ministry of Public Security, they won't allow us to do so."

After Song Xiang explained, Zhang Yu understood that it was not that these government offices did not allow it, but that His Majesty did not allow it.

Only since this time it involved me did they pay a little attention.

"Then you are fast enough." Zhang Yu snorted coldly.

"That's what we do." Song Xiang said with a smile: "The news will naturally be delivered faster, it's no big deal."

"You didn't ask me to come here today to talk to me about this, did you?" Zhang Yu didn't want to continue talking to Song Xiang about this matter. It didn't make much sense. He decisively changed the subject.

Nodding, Song Xiang said, "Of course not. I came to see Master Zhang this time to discuss some cooperation matters with him."

"But now we have a good opportunity. We have something to tell Master Zhang about Liao Daoyan. If Master Zhang needs it, we can also help."

"What do you know?" Zhang Yu asked hesitantly.

"It's very simple. The reason Liao Daoyan was able to come to the Ministry of Revenue and not be squeezed out is because of his relationship with Zuo Guangdou. Liao Daoyan is Zuo Guangdou's man. It is because of Zuo Guangdou that Liao Daoyan is where he is today."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yu asked hesitantly.

"Liao Daoyan was actually only a Juren (a juren) and did not pass the imperial examination. He was very capable as a person and an official, and he was also very talented in his studies. However, he was not well-received because of his strange appearance since he was a child."

"After passing the imperial examination, he tried to take the jinshi exam, but always failed. Later, he met Zuo Guangdou and went farming with him. He has made a lot of contributions in the past few years. After Zuo Guangdou came to the Ministry of Revenue, Liao Daoyan followed him. This is how he was able to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Revenue."

"I see." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I've been in the Ministry of Revenue for so long, and I didn't even know about this. I'm really a failure."

"Liao Daoyan usually keeps a low profile and doesn't socialize much, let alone pay attention to him." Song Xiang said with a smile, "It's no surprise that Lord Zhang hasn't noticed. However, if Lord Zhang wants to recruit him, he has to go to Zuo Guangdou, otherwise Liao Daoyan won't agree."

Zhang Yu nodded, roughly understanding what was going on.

Zuo Guangdou was very dissatisfied with Han Yu, the chief minister of the cabinet, because of the purge of the Donglin Party. Although their relationship has eased in the past two years, they have never been very close.

If Liao Daoyan followed Zhang Yu, it would be no less than a betrayal for him. Zuo Guangdou had been very kind to him, so it was normal for him to disagree.

Zhang Yu said, "I understand this matter. I will find a way later."

"That's good." Song Xiang looked at Zhang Yu and said, "This will be how I work with Master Zhang from now on. It will basically be the same when we go to North Korea. I can provide Master Zhang with detailed intelligence."

Zhang Yu nodded suddenly and said, "Thank you very much."

"The marriage will be settled in two days. I will spend more time with Lord Zhang at that time. Please bear with me, Lord Zhang." Song Xiang also said with a smile.

"Please bear with me, Miss Song." Zhang Yu also said with a smile.

The two exchanged a glance, and Zhang Yu said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Thank you, Miss Song, for giving me a ride."

"Master Zhang, you are too polite. I am sorry for being rude today. Please come in, Master Zhang."

"Goodbye." Zhang Yu agreed and got off the stopped carriage.
