Chapter 6 Dead
After hearing Ge Lin's words, Ge Dan nodded. It turned out that's it. If he said so, he would probably understand what happened here. Wan Yi wanted to win over and get along with him, but the meaning behind him. To put it bluntly, he was his father. Although his father Ge Qi was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, his father's teacher was indeed Liu Ji, and Liu Ji was the newly promoted Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. From this point of view, the two sides did have the intention to communicate.
Compared with the intersecting of the upper class, the intersecting of the lower class is naturally very important. As the son of the chief minister Wan'an, it is not strange that Wan Yi will communicate with him.
Of course, Ge Dan also considered his father and his father's teacher Liu Ji. According to his father's teacher Liu Ji's character, the possibility of him getting together with Wan'an is extremely unlimited.
"Then Uncle Lin thinks I should go there?" As he said that, Ge Dan looked at Ge Lin. Ge Dan had not thought about this matter yet, and he didn't know what to do. Although he adjusted his mentality in the officialdom, this matter was not only a matter of mentality, but also a matter of how to deal with it.
"Of course I have to go!" Ge Lin said with a smile: "The new official is here and the local gentry will hold a banquet. This is also the only thing that the young master should go to see Qian Yu. Speaking of which, this person has no conflict with us for the time being. With his support, he will be in office with the state, and there will be many benefits."
Ge Dan nodded. He also understood this principle. Qian Yu was a local snake after all. With his help, many things were indeed much easier to handle. Ge Dan might not have any reaction to other things, but Qian Yu’s brother’s affairs really made Ge Dan very uncomfortable. This matter was like a thorn in Ge Dan’s heart.
He smiled with a self-deprecating smile, maybe his conscience has not yet faded? Ge Dan looked at Ge Lin and found that his uncle Lin had no feeling about this matter.
"Then let's go have a meal and save a meal of supper!" Ge Dan said with a smile.
Seeing that Ge Dan agreed, Glin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his young master would not agree, otherwise this matter would be really troublesome.
The prefect's yamen didn't need Ge Dan to do anything. That night, Ge Dan changed into his official robe, got on his own carriage, and took Ge Lin and Ge Wu to Qingfeng Tower. Ge Dan ate here last night, and today he was still eating here. Ge Dan said to Ge Lin curiously: "Uncle Lin, whose industry is this Qingfeng Tower?"
Although he was asking Ge Lin, Ge Dan had already guessed something in his mind. Last night, Li Lian's words, plus the courtesan pearl from Nanjing, were enough for Ge Dan to infer the owner behind the Qingfeng Building.
"It's Qian Yu's!" Ge Lin replied with a smile, but the answer was not beyond his expectations at all.
The group entered Qingfeng Tower, and there were many people waiting here, all of whom were famous in Hezhou. After seeing Ge Dan come in, they all bowed with smiles. For a long time, Ge Dan will be their parents' officials, so they naturally have to flatter him, so they are naturally very respectful to Ge Dan.
After entering the banquet hall, everyone divided the guests and hosts to sit down, and Ge Dan's seat was naturally on the main seat.
There is a side seat at the bottom of Ge Dan, and the position is very conspicuous. It can be seen that the position should have been left for Qian Yu, but the position is empty at this time. Ge Dan has never seen this Qian Yu and Qian Master Qian from beginning to end. This made Ge Dan frown. Is it so big?
Logically speaking, he was the initiator of the banquet. He should have arrived first when he treats the guests. Ge Dan, the guest, has arrived, and Qian Yu has not appeared yet.
According to status, Ge Dan is the governor of Hezhou, and is a parent and official from the Jinshi. Although Qian Yu has wealth, he is just a local rich man, and he is not even a gentry. Even if he cursed for Chen Xuanbin, he should not give Ge Dan face so much. This is a complete slap in the face!
Originally, after Ge Dan arrived, the atmosphere on the scene was still very happy, but after Ge Dan sat down, the atmosphere on the scene became a bit strange.
Qian Yu's seat is at the bottom of Ge Dan. That seat is too conspicuous, but it is empty now, which is very telling. Could it be that Mr. Qian Yu wants to give the new magistrate an ugly look? The people present were all in their hearts, and more were nervous. Once they fought with Qian Yu later, what should they do?
Qian Yu is from Hezhou and has great wealth, but the magistrate represents the court, and the people are officials, so the people will not fight with the officials!
Several people tried to revitalize the atmosphere, but soon this behavior could not be done because they had drunk several cups of tea. Even the prefect Ge, the governor, went to the cottage once, but Mr. Qian Yu, did not show up. Looking at this posture, Mr. Qian seemed not to be ready to come tonight.
Although Ge Dan's face was very calm, he felt cruel. He was still struggling with how to treat Qian Yu.
Although Ge Dan had not learned in detail, Ge Dan also knew that Qian Yu must have done a lot of illegal rituals. Especially Qian Yu's brother's affairs, which made Ge Dan feel very uncomfortable. It was not manslaughter, but beating the person to death. What a bad impact? Such a thing is a thorn in Ge Dan's heart.
Now that Qian Yu gave Ge Dan this look, Ge Dan naturally would not be scruples. Ge Dan was about to do this.
If you are shameless, there is no need to give face.
Ge Dan gently put down the teacup and stood up. The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became tense. Everyone who spoke closed their mouths, and the smiles of the people with smiles on their faces were also frozen on their faces. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ge Dan's face, and everyone wanted to see what this magistrate wanted to do.
With a smile, Ge Dan said slowly: "I have just arrived at the office. Maybe I was infected with cold on the road and felt a little uncomfortable. I will accuse you of your crimes. I will not accompany you today."
"After I finish sorting out the affairs of the yamen, I will definitely hold a banquet for you. I am an official in Hezhou. I believe it will take a long time. We will eventually deal with it. If there is anything, I still need to support you. I will leave the seat first. You will continue and must return with all your fun."
Ge Dan was leaving, but this was not beyond everyone's expectations. He didn't lose his temper on the spot. This was already well-cultivated by Ge Dan. Of course, today's face was indeed lost.
However, what everyone thought of was Ge Dan's future revenge. Will this magistrate give up? He didn't come after the banquet. Is it worth it to offend the magistrate with such a joke?
