After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 741: Xue Dongjia is appointed as an official [2]

"Don't worry, Master Xue. This is a great thing." The visitor was the Cheng Bantou of the Capital Government Office. Seeing that Master Xue seemed to be going out, he smiled and said, "Master Xue, do you have something urgent to do? That's fine. Master Xue can go to the Capital Government Office after you finish your business."

Xue Dongjia was overjoyed and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng. I will definitely go to the capital government office before leaving the government office today."

"Well, Mr. Xue is busy now. I'll go back and report first." Team leader Cheng left with two yamen runners.

After they walked away, his son couldn't help but pull his sleeve. The father and son fell a few steps behind. Xiao Cheng, the yamen runner, asked, "Dad, this time the prefect personally invited us, how can we not bring Xue Dongjia back to the yamen immediately?"

Aren’t you afraid of offending the prefect?

Cheng Bantou wanted to give his stupid son a slap on the head: "After the spies committed the crime and the new dye was semi-official, Governor Fei issued a special order, asking everyone in the yamen not to rely on the little power and information in their hands to embarrass the Xue family."

"And today's matter is not an emergency, but a happy event, so there is no need to forcibly take people away... Even the prefect is willing to give the Xue family some convenience at this time, do you understand?"

Xiaocheng Yamen Runner: "I understand. Thank you for your teaching."

Team leader Cheng nodded with satisfaction... Although his son was not as smart as him, he was also a man who understood things quickly and had a good chance of inheriting his position as team leader in the future.

Well, it's not that he wants to be partial, but from ancient times to the present, the "official families" in the yamen have been passed down in this way.

After Xue Dongjia sent Cheng Bantou away, he immediately got on a carriage and headed for the Liang family army camp outside the city... The carriage took a full hour to reach the camp outside the city.

The capital city is so big that even if the carriage runs at full speed, it will take an hour. It will take at least half a day to walk across the city.

Xue Dongjia was considered a member of the Northwest Army, so General Liang allowed him to use his appearance to enter the Liang Army camp.

Xue Dongjia went straight to General Liang's tent without any obstruction.

"Ha, Brother Xue, you've come at the right time. I have good news to tell you." General Liang was quick to speak. He told Xue Dongjia what had happened as soon as he saw him. "In a few days, the imperial edict to confer your official title will arrive. Your family should prepare for the next few days to receive the edict."

Whenever the imperial court issued an edict, especially one to appoint an official, it would let the local government inform the owner of the order in advance. Otherwise, if they were asked to receive the order suddenly, it would cause a joke and the imperial court would be embarrassed.

Xue Dongjia was stunned by the good news, and ecstasy surged in his heart: "Your Majesty, are you going to give me an official title?!"

"Well, I can still tease you with such a serious matter?" General Liang smiled and patted Xue Dongjia on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Brother Xue, you have fought hard and made it. Go home and prepare..."

With a thud, before Xue Dongjia could finish his words, he knelt on the ground.

The personal soldiers, staff officers, and clerks in the big tent all looked at General Liang's hand... How could the general's hand be so strong? He knocked Xue Dongjia to his knees?
General Liang was also startled and looked at Xue Dongjia: "Brother Xue, what are you doing?"

Xue Dongjia did not dare to hide it and said, "General, I have something to report."

I understand. General Liang waved his hand, and everyone in the tent, except for his trusted captain who was protecting his safety, left.

Xue Dongjia described in detail the abnormalities of Yu and the Yu brothers.

"I have sent someone to send Yu back to the Xue family's old house in Dongming Prefecture, and sent two groups of people to keep an eye on him. I have given the order that if Yu escapes, he will be shot to death if he cannot be caught."

In short, we can't let the tiger go back to the mountain. "After Brother Yu disappeared, those brothers who came to look for him never came back... Now that I think about it, those so-called brothers might also be spies from the East Desert. But I didn't investigate their origins in depth at the time, and now I have no clues to find them!"

"The Yu brothers haven't married yet, and they have long severed ties with the Yu family... I guess they are not of the Yu family's bloodline."

"Yu has no children, and her ex-husband's family has not seen anything unusual, but I have sent people to keep an eye on Yu's ex-husband's family to prevent them from doing anything fishy."

"Now it seems that the acquaintance of Brother Yu with me, the ability he deliberately displayed, the secret identity he revealed, his subsequent disappearance, and the fact that the Yu family was disliked by my ex-husband's family were all probably a trap set for my Xue family's business..."

The Xue family business has many industries and a fleet of vehicles. For the people of Dongmo, if they control a large local business, it will be extremely beneficial for occupying the Northeast Province.

The more Xue Dongjia thought about it, the more cold sweat he broke out. Bang, he slammed his head to the ground and said, "General Liang, I was stupid and let the wolf into the house. I beg the court to punish me!"

"Please ask General Liang to help delay the appointment of an official. Xue is guilty and unworthy of an official position in the court."

General Liang was silent for a moment after listening to him. He then asked Xue Dongjia a few more questions about the Yu brothers and the Yu family, and then helped him up: "Brother Xue, these spies were scheming against us. After you discovered the abnormality of the Yu family, you did a good job. At least you didn't alert them. You and the Qin family have done a great job. Brother Xue, there is no need to blame yourself."

"Besides, our emperor has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you and the Qin family have made great contributions, you can accept the official position awarded by the court!"

"General Liang." Xue Dongjia really felt that it was a great fortune for the Wei Dynasty to have a person like General Liang and for him to meet a person like General Liang.

"Hey, look at you, you're not a woman, yet you're so moved?" General Liang made a mockery of him and immediately called in the staff and clerks, asking them to record the affairs of the Yu brothers and the Yu family.

He also ordered his personal guards: "Send out the secret soldiers to keep an eye on the Yu family, the family of Yu's ex-husband, the families of Yu's brothers and sisters, and the former neighbors... If you find anything unusual, don't arrest them. The current strategy is to pretend not to see them and keep them as bait."

This was a secret letter sent by Duke Yan before the Chinese New Year.

After receiving the secret letter, General Liang no longer forced the Military Command, the Provincial Administration, and the capital government to arrest people on a large scale. He only secretly registered those whose identities were questionable and sent secret soldiers to keep an eye on them.

This is a matter that consumes a lot of manpower and a lot of time, but once it works, the results are amazing... Not only can it help them lure out the descendants of other spies lurking in the territory of Wei, but maybe they can also use them to turn around and plot against Dongmo.

In short, General Liang thought Duke Yan's strategy was brilliant, and he listened to Duke Yan.

After giving several instructions and spending nearly half an hour, he finally dealt with the affairs of the Yu brothers and sisters.

General Liang comforted Xue Dongjia: "Don't worry, brother Xue. You have followed the orders of the court to find suspicious people, keep a close eye on them, and report them in time. Even if something goes wrong in the future, no one can make you unhappy. I will testify for you!"

"Thank you, General Liang." Xue Dongjia was sincerely grateful. He came to General Liang to report the matter because he wanted General Liang to testify for him.

Then he asked, "General Liang, did the Qin family and Brother Jiang get any rewards? Their contributions are much greater than mine."

"Haha, of course." General Liang laughed, thinking that Mr. Xue was a man with a conscience and would help his companions ask.

For some things, people get benefits themselves but are reluctant to ask a question for their partners.

Soon, General Liang stopped smiling, and even blushed with shame. He did not say what reward the Qin family had received, but only said, "Brother Xue, go home and prepare to receive the imperial decree for the appointment of an official."
