Chapter 2179 Inquiry
Prefect Liu was looking for a clerk who used to be honest, quiet and had little sense of existence.
There is no need to think about my confidants, they are definitely no longer working in the government office.
Honest people are easy to bully and manipulate, and he is confident that no matter what he asks, honest people will not dare to answer dishonestly.
The clerk named Hao was shocked and confused. He didn't understand why the former prefect, who only knew him before and had no other connection with him, wanted to see him.
Yes, the prefect is now the imperial envoy of the Second Prince, right?
No wonder he would ask me about these things. Hao Shuli thought about it and said everything he could. He felt that some things were difficult to say, so he was vague and said he didn't know.
Anyway, he was an insignificant little character in the government office before, and it is still the same now. How much can a little character know?
Prefect Liu seemed to know this, and he asked him about routine matters, such as what orders had Lord Shao issued? How did the people react? Which officials at all levels in the government were doing better now? What kind of person was Mrs. Shao? How were the goods in Huaixi Province? How were the merchants doing? How were the prices, etc.
Finally, Prefect Liu asked if Shao Yunduan was ill, which doctor he had consulted, and where he was now.
Hao Shuli was startled, knowing that the climax was about to begin.
Of course, Lord Shao was not ill, at least not before yesterday. Then yesterday afternoon, the news came out that Lord Shao was ill.
This morning, everyone knew that Lord Shao had fallen ill due to overwork a while ago, and they also said that Lord Shao had been holding on for a few days, but now he couldn't hold on any longer, so he went out of the city to recuperate, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
Originally, these little clerks were confused and wondered why the master fell ill out of nowhere. Now they understand everything!
"Master Shao is indeed ill."
"Oh? I wonder how Master Shao is doing?"
"This - I'm not sure. I'm just a clerk. Your Excellency has gone out of town to recuperate. No one is allowed to disturb him. A clerk like me is not qualified to know anything."
"Which doctor did the government invite to see the patient?"
"I don't know! I haven't paid attention to this..."
"When did Lord Shao leave the city to recuperate?"
"This..." When the words came to his lips, Hao Shuli paused and then said with a smile: "I am not too sure. After all, I dare not ask too much about the affairs of the superiors..."
Prefect Liu was a little impatient when he heard this and frowned, "You are too careless. For someone like you, even if the higher-ups want to promote you, they don't even know who you are!"
Hao Shuli smiled and was not angry.
But Magistrate Liu saw that he was angry, so he asked a few more questions casually, but failed to get any useful information, so he left unhappily.
After finally seeing him off, Shuli Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He really hadn't thought about promotion. At his age, he knew his own limitations very well! Promotion was not something that everyone could have.
Anyway, now that Lord Shao is in charge of Huaixi Province, the treatment of these people is much better than before. Not only has their salary increased, but they can also get some other benefits. He is already very satisfied.
Prefect Liu considered it and felt that the information was as good as nothing, and it would be difficult to report to Lord Yang, so he went to find the two more people.
