The prefect of Jinling was invited by Huang Jincheng to come to the guard to drink tea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, the two of them are one scholar and one martial arts, and Huang Jincheng is not the chief official of the Wei Institute, so he basically has few opportunities to deal with each other. Although both of them are four grades and are on an equal footing, the prefect of Jinling thinks that the status of civil officials at the same level should be higher than that of military officials, and Huang Jincheng has always had close contacts with the governor Yamen, so he has a bit of a self-conscious identity. It's just that Huang Jincheng is a relative of the emperor, and the Huang family is deeply favored by the emperor, so he didn't refute the other party's face. And because Huang Jincheng invited him to drink tea, he was entrusted by his in-law Yongjiahou Qin Bai to discuss what happened to Zhao Mo, the grandson of King Liao, in Jinling City.
As a result, Huang Jincheng chatted with him in circles for a long time, which was just a cliché in officialdom. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to blame, the prefect of Jinling thought that the Huang family was really as rumored, and he was very scruples about associating with the clan. Suddenly, Huang Jincheng said that there was something to do, and he sent off the guests with tea, and the prefect of Jinling felt that he was abrupt, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Huang Jincheng didn't pretend to be superficial at all, but conspired with Zhao Mo to lure Li Yanchao to come and deliberately let him bump into him! The prefect of Jinling is also a shrewd person who has mixed up with the old in the officialdom, how could he not even see such a shallow trap?
However, even if others set a trap, Li Yanchao didn't jump down by himself, and people wouldn't be able to calculate him.
This student is getting more and more confused, the last time that incident, the prefect of Jinling came forward to solve it, thinking that even if this matter is over, the student should not commit it again, and if he recidivists, he is a fool, who knows that he is really a fool! As a teacher, he has clearly analyzed the pros and cons with him, and asked him not to harm Princess Shu, but he still insisted on going all the way to the dark, and dared to love what his teacher said, which has no weight in his heart, right? !
The prefect of Jinling only felt that he had never been so embarrassed, and he was thrown in front of Huang Jincheng, a military attache who was at the same level as himself but he looked down on a little, and he not only had a dark face, but also trembled with anger.
Zhao Mo also added oil and vinegar to the side: "Lord Prefect, you have also seen that Lord Li is really persistent. Even if the prefect repeatedly dissuaded and explained the reason, he would not listen to me, and he had to get along with me. I'm really worried. There has never been a thief for a thousand days, so how can there be a reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days? If I slack off a little one day, will he be going to poison me? I can't let go of this matter lightly. I also ask for your forgiveness, my lord, that I must write to inform the elders in Beijing. ”
The prefect of Jinling gritted his teeth and said: "He committed his own crimes, even if he is punished, he deserves it." The grandson does not have to worry about the lower officials. Xiaguan ...... He had only been his boss for a few months. said that it was teachers and students, but in fact, it was he who curried favor and preached it everywhere. Xiaguan was just the examiner when he took the township examination, and there were more than 100 people in that township examination, all of whom could be said to be Xiaguan's students, but Xiaguan had never taught him anything. In the past, just because he was still a little diligent, he sincerely called the lower official teacher, and the lower official responded. Unexpectedly, he would actually borrow the name of the lower official to go to the fox and pretend to be a tiger, and do something wrong! The lower official can't afford to accept such a student!"
Zhao Mo smiled: "Lord Prefect, you are polite." Your personality is well known to everyone in Jinling Mansion, so how could they misunderstand you because of Lord Li?"
Huang Jincheng glanced over: "It's just that how to deal with this Li County Order, please ask the prefect to bother more." I don't want to interfere in local affairs, after all, the grandson is just a junior of the clan, and he just came to Jinling to play and live. It is still the duty of the prefect to discipline local officials. ”
The prefect of Jinling reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Lord Huang is polite, this is as it should be, as it should be." ”
He politely said goodbye, but turned around and motioned to his entourage to hold Li Yanchao and let him sit in the broken carriage and follow behind his carriage.
Li Yanchao knew that he would not be pleasing this time, so he glared back at Zhao Mo hatefully, and whispered to the prefect of Jinling to let him go back to Shangyuan County to tidy up his appearance. He was cold and aching now, and needed a hot bath. His feet were almost frozen, and the bottom of his feet was aching for some reason, and he should have asked a doctor to heal him.
Before the prefect of Jinling could speak, Zhao Mo said in a loud voice behind him: "Lord Li, what are you glaring at me?" Could it be that I am afraid that you will be unfavorable to me again, and I beg the elders to make decisions for me, and you still hold a grudge?"
Li Yanchao's face turned pale, and he saw the prefect of Jinling glaring at him fiercely, and walked away, without saying a word about letting him go back to the county office. He knew that he was telling Zhao Mo to calculate, and he hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to look back and stare again, so he had to sit obediently on the carriage and follow the prefect of Jinling towards the prefect's yamen.
It's just that the broken carriage he hired was originally for carrying goods, and there were half a cart of miscellaneous goods piled up in the small carriage, and he refused to get too close to the stolen goods, so he could only sit on the side of the car, so that his current dignity inevitably appeared in front of everyone. He was half muddy, his head and body were covered with cold sweat, and his face was pale and embarrassed. Who didn't look at him more than a few people he saw? Who didn't show disgust or gossip? However, the prefect of Jinling asked him to follow, and there were two servants escorting him behind the broken carriage, and Li Yanchao couldn't slip away if he wanted to. There was no way, he had to shrink himself into the carriage, even if his body was full of debris with an unknown stench, he couldn't care so much.
So, when Li Yanchao got out of the car, he added an unpleasant smell to his body. When the people in the prefect's yamen saw him, they couldn't wait to avoid Sanzhang Yuan, and they all looked at him in amazement, what kind of good deed did this honor do?
The prefect of Jinling asked someone to take a few dollars, sent the broken carriage and the coachman away, and then looked at Li Yanchao with disgust and counted them unceremoniously. This time, he didn't even have the patience to tell Li Yanchao about the pros and cons, he just scolded. After scolding, he still asked him to escort him back to Shangyuan County, but at the same time he sent two more people, claiming that he heard that there was a manpower in Shangyuan County Yamen to call the governor Yamen to be seconded, and the manpower was tight, so the prefect Yamen allocated two people to Shangyuan County to help take care of the affairs of the county and share the worries of Li Yanchao.
In fact, it is to send people to guard him, so that he does not go out again and give birth to any young moths.
Li Yanchao, under the "escort" of the two people, was already a little dizzy when he returned to Shangyuan County. He was so cold that he was almost stiff, and after returning to the back office, he quickly took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, shoes and socks, and looked at his feet, but he didn't know when a few big blisters came out, and they burst again, no wonder the pain was so bad.
He was busy calling the doctor to come and treat him, and he called people to ask if the retinue sent out to follow the carriage had returned. But the master came to report at this time, saying that the two people who came from the prefect's yamen in the room of the former yamen's office took over and drove him out, so that he didn't have to meddle in official business anymore.
Li Yanchao's heart sank, but he was helpless. He is a substitute county magistrate, and he always has the name of the teacher of the Jinling prefect on his lips on weekdays, and he looks like a good student who respects teachers and values teaching, can he still refute the teacher's order? Anyway, Shangyuan County is just a springboard for him, anyway, there will be a new county magistrate to take office after the year, and it doesn't matter whether he has the power in his hands or not. Anyway, when he makes great contributions, the Shu Wangfu will never be stingy with rewarding him with a seventh-grade or even sixth-grade official position!
The master was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he still had a lot of accounts and documents that he hadn't had time to sort out, what if the people who called the prefect's yamen found out? Could it be that Li Yanchao thought that he was really so clean in the past few months? If in the past, the prefect of Jinling had taken good care of him as a student, and even if he found something, he would turn one eye open and close one eye. But now the prefect of Jinling is clearly tired of him, and once he discovers those evidences, he will definitely not show mercy! What did Li Yanchao do that even the prefect was offended?!
The master wanted to ask how Li Yanchao was willing to say? Immediately, he used the excuse of seeing the doctor, but he asked the waiter to invite the master out, so angry that the master's face turned blue, so he simply ignored it, but went back to write a letter to Beijing, intending to complain to his parents and remind him by the way. If Li Yanchao really happened in the future, his family could still ask for a good relative to help with it.
However, in the master's heart, he was thinking about whether it was time for him to change the proprietor?
Li Yanchao didn't know anything about his master's thoughts, he felt that his physical condition was not good, his body was hot, he was probably sick from freezing, and he had to find out the whereabouts of the prince while he was still awake at the moment. He felt that Zhao Mo must have dropped the prince halfway, and he was there desperately recalling, when were there fewer guards around the carriage?
In a short time, those who had been sent out to follow the six wagons turned around and reported their results. Some people say that they lost it, some people say that they find that the car is empty and there is no one in the end, and some people say that they saw the carriage parked somewhere, and the people in the car got out of the car, but quickly disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.
Li Yanchao was not surprised by this result, and also determined that the six carriages were all smoke, fog and bombs, and the one who really carried the prince was the seventh one he followed, but unfortunately he lost it.
He instructed his cronies: "Wulipo...... They had no guards in Wulipo, so they must have dropped their bags there! Nearby is Qinzhuang, which is Yongjiahou's hometown...... The carriage also belonged to his family, he was a relative of the emperor, and the grandson of the Liao king also lived in his house, and all this was done by him! Keep an eye on Yongjiahou and pay attention to his whereabouts...... If the monks can't run away from the temple, I will definitely be able to find their traces!"
The cronies listened to his delirious instructions and couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know the inside story, they just obeyed the order, and heard that this time not only involved the little child of the Liao Wang's grandson, but even Yongjiahou was also involved, so they didn't dare to respond to it, so they asked Li Yanchao carefully: "Uncle, ...... Who are you looking for?"
Li Yanchao didn't have the strength to answer their question, his eyes went dark, he fell backwards, and completely lost consciousness.
