Chapter 662 664. Mu Xianglan
Liang Shi had a complicated expression, "Then you are all wrong, this Gu Wenheng is not as simple as it seems, otherwise he would not have turned the turbulent Lu City into a major taxpayer in such a short time.
I heard that his wife owns shops all over the place and has no shortage of capable people.
Earlier, His Majesty was impressed by his ability of rapid calculation and even asked him to train a group of personnel. At that time, I did not take it seriously and thought it was all exaggerated by others.
Now it seems that the rumor is true.
Now I understand why His Majesty placed him here.
Maybe he will be the hope for this benefit."
Chen Wenshu was somewhat shocked by what Liangshi said.
They are far away from Shangjing and have little access to information.
But it is different for Governor Liang. His family is in Shangjing. Even though he has been here for many years, he is better informed than them.
"But I heard that even the groom was there checking the accounts. It would be a waste of talent for such a powerful accountant to be used as a driver. Xiaole heard that the groom is not only good at accounting, but also very good at fighting."
After Chen Wenshu finished speaking, he glanced at Liangshi carefully.
Ryoshi, "What? Do you have any ideas?"
Chen Wenshu rubbed his hands together and said, "Sir, if we recruit such a talent, it would be like getting a capable ..."
Liang Shi raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "No matter how outstanding his abilities are, he is still Master Gu's man.
If there is a real need, I will ask Lord Gu to borrow it.
Lord Gu has just arrived, so he must have a lot of things to do with the help of his subordinates.
I don't want to use my power to oppress others, so don't mention this matter again."
He understood what Chen Wenshu meant, that he wanted him to ask for the person.
In order not to offend his superior, Gu Wenheng had to send the person to his side even if he felt aggrieved.
Liangshi was not willing to offend anyone for the sake of a coachman. He was also hoping that Gu Wenheng could really do something practical, and he, as his superior, could also benefit from it and maybe even be able to move forward.
According to news from the capital, all the people who originally followed Gu Wenheng were promoted this time.
"Her guards haven't arrived yet?" Liang Shi just mentioned the manpower issue and thought of this again.
"I have already inquired about it. Because there were many problems along the way, Lord Gu chose to travel light, and his guards stayed there to protect his wife and children."
Liang Shi, "Liu Xuan has hit a wall this time. He wanted to scheme against others, but he ended up falling into trouble instead."
He didn't need to investigate the matter to guess the inside story. Liu Xuan wanted to stop the person after his term of office.
Even if problems with the account books are discovered later, Gu Wenheng will bear a large part of the responsibility.
If it were someone else, they might have been framed. Gu Wenheng is indeed a capable person.
He sat up straight at this moment, "Please inform everyone to fully cooperate with Gu Wenheng and not to embarrass him over trivial matters.
If I find out, I will have to bear the consequences myself."
Chen Wenshu didn't understand why there was such a sudden change. The other party hadn't even come to ask for advice yet, but Lord Liang took the initiative to approach him.
But he had one good point, he would not refute his superior's opinion, "Then I will go and inform him later, but what should we do with Lord Liu in prison?"
"Detain him first, and wait until the emperor's decree arrives." For such a serious matter, the higher-ups might send people down to investigate in detail. "Remember to have everyone under you keep a close eye on him. If anything goes wrong, their heads will be used as compensation."
"yes."

Cen Gaosong was busy for a while before returning to his newly purchased mansion. The doorman came to greet him immediately, "Sir, the Madam and the Second Miss are here."
Cen Gaosong stopped and asked, "Which lady and second young lady?"
"…They are the Madam and the Second Miss in the mansion."
Cen Gaosong also remembered, "Why are they here?"
Cen Gaosong didn't think there was anything wrong with him not thinking of his wife and daughter for a moment. They hadn't seen each other for many years, and it was normal for him not to react when she suddenly came to him.
The concierge said, "...I don't know about these little things, but the butler asked me to wait here for the master and tell him something."
But I was looking down on her in my heart. I guess Aunt Lan would have a headache now.
For so many years, she has always called herself Mrs. Cen when outside, and she also wants them to call her Madam in the mansion.
Now that the real culprit is here, I don’t know how ugly his face is in the backyard at the moment. I will go back and ask the maid inside. I think the scene should be very exciting.
Cen Gaosong walked into the mansion with a cold face. As soon as he entered the second courtyard, he saw two mother and daughter dressed in gorgeous clothes standing there waiting, while his concubine Mu Xianglan was standing in the distance watching with a wronged look on her face.
"master!"
"father!"
Seeing the mother and daughter kneeling to him at the same time, Cen Gaosong cleared his throat and said, "Why are you here? Why didn't you write a letter before you came? I could have sent someone to pick you up."
Zhang Guihong, "My master is very busy and hasn't been home for so many years. The elders at home really miss him and are worried that he won't be well taken care of by his family members outside. That's why I brought Yueqin here.
I wanted to write you a letter in advance, but the elders at home said that letters are not as fast as others on this journey, and the letter may not arrive by the time we arrive."
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and looked Cen Gaosong up and down. "Now it seems that the elders in the family are right to worry. I haven't seen the master lose weight in so many years. Is it because of the busy official duties? Look at the white hair."
Cen Yueqin, who was standing beside her, secretly pulled her hand. She had already told her mother before coming, but her mother was still so honest.
She could notice that Cen Gaosong was already very unhappy at the moment.
She could only take half a step forward and said softly, "Dad, it's a bit cold in this courtyard. How about we go to the hall to talk?"
Facing his daughter, Cen Gaosong's expression relaxed and he looked her up and down, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Yueqin has grown up."
It must have been hard on this journey, right? You shouldn't have let your mother run around all the time, causing you to suffer as well."
Zhang Guihong didn't like to hear this, and from the tone of it she didn't welcome them over.
He gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking that if they had written to tell him in advance, this trip would have definitely been canceled.
"Xianglan, quickly tell someone to prepare the food."
Only then did Mu Xianglan bow from a distance, turn around and go down to give instructions to the people below.
Zhang Guihong glanced sideways and pulled her daughter, "Look, your father doesn't take us seriously at all. There is only one concubine in charge of the family. How can this be?"
"Mom, have you forgotten what I told you before? You also promised big sister that you would listen to me along the way." Cen Yueqin knew that she couldn't convince her alone, so she pulled her sister who was far away in her hometown out.
