Chapter Seventy-Six: Strategizing
This meal was eaten directly into the evening, and the county magistrate was full of food and drink, and as soon as he walked out of Baiwei Building, he saw Dogleg standing at the door waiting for him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's so late, I'm tired, send people away, what's the matter for him to come back tomorrow. ā
"Lord Prefectural, this can't be driven away. ā
"Anything else that can't be rushed?"
"Lord County Commander, this time it is the son of the general of the auxiliary country, the major general Yu Gui, he has been waiting for you in the main hall for an afternoon, I think it would be better for you to go and have a look. ā
It turned out that Yu Gui and Li Jun were just on their feet, and not long after the county order took Li Jun to Baiwei Building, Yu Gui came. Yu Gui saw that the county order was not there, so he asked the dog's legs. According to the old rules, the dog told Yu Gui County that he went out to handle the case, and he might not come back until late.
The dog's original intention was to make Yu Gui impatient to wait and come back tomorrow. But what he never expected was that Yu Gui had no intention of leaving at all, and sat down in the main hall, saying that he would wait for the county order to come back.
This made the dog's leg anxious, and he hurriedly ran over to find the county order. However, the county order entertained Li Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, in Baiwei Building, and there were people on both sides who could not afford to offend. I can only ask someone to send a message to Yu Gui, and I have wronged him to wait a little longer.
The county commander hurried back, it was so late that Yu Hui was still waiting for him, it seems that it is definitely not a trivial matter, it is over, it is over, the major general has neglected his work, and the punishment or something depends on the mood of the young general.
However, whoever waits so long won't be in a good mood, right?
Before he reached the main hall, he saw Major General Yu Gui pacing back and forth in the main hall, looking very impatient.
"Major General, I just came back from handling the case, so I've kept you waiting. ā
"Lord Chen is really busy, I'm still bothering you at such a late hour, I'm really causing you trouble. ā
Yu Gui's face was displeased, everyone knew that he was talking back, but now the county order has no other way but to take it head-on.
"Hey, I don't know if it's because someone made a bad start recently, and crimes among the people have become very frequent, as a parent official, I'm busy solving problems for the people every day, and I neglect the young general, and I hope that the young general has a lot of them, don't worry about the lower officials. ā
are all old fritters in officialdom, and the county order not only cheekily accepted Yu Gui's sarcasm, but also took a set back.
The subtext is: I snubbed you entirely because I worked hard for the people, and the young general should not be a small-bellied and calculating person, you will definitely not get along with me, right?
"Hehe, Lord Chen is really dedicated to his duties, it is really an honor for Datang to have a good official like Lord Chen who thinks about the people. ā
"The young general is serious, this is just the job of the lower officer, do a good job, and live up to His Majesty's love. But the major general, you applied to guard the frontier, to protect the safety of the Tang Dynasty in the fire and water, in order for the people to live and work in peace and contentment and fight with the enemy on the battlefield, the blue is better than the blue, the young general, you are not more reckless than your father, it is really the glory of the Tang Dynasty. ā
Polite greetings are the most common means in officialdom, with a hypocritical smile and insincere words. Everyone knew they were lying, but they all enjoyed it.
Yu Gui put a small box on the table and opened it in front of the county order. The box was full of gold bars, a full twenty gold bars. The golden luster is so dazzling, and it is so beautiful to reflect the enchanting light in the light of the lights.
The county magistrate was stunned to admire the gold bars, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, he had been an official for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen so many gold bars.
Although he is often corrupt and accepts bribes in normal times, because his official position is limited and his power is not very large, the cases that can be handled with full authority are all small cases, and there is nothing to make money at all.
"Master Chen, let's not talk nonsense, let's discuss the matter, let Xingzhe go. ā
"Xingzhe?"
The county commander was shocked, what kind of sacredness is this Xingzhe? Why are so many people rushing to save him?
"That's right, it's Xingzhe, as long as you release Xingzhe, all these gold bars are yours. ā
The county magistrate hesitated for a while, these gold bars were too tempting for him, but he thought about it, it was His Majesty the Emperor who didn't let Xingzhe go, if he disobeyed the order of the saint, it was estimated that his house would be raided, right?
And the county order is still speculating whether this will be a trick set up by His Majesty the Emperor, just to test whether he can still be loyal in the face of temptation.
If that's the case, it's even more unacceptable.
The county order closed the small box, and in Yu Gui's surprised eyes, he pushed the box in front of Yu Gui.
"You can take back the gold bars, although I Chen Xiang likes money, but I am a parent official, I can't do things that are unfavorable to my people for money, please go back." ā
Nima: What's going on? Nothing goes according to the plot?
"Master Chen, don't be kidding, aren't you greedy? ā
"Please take your gold bars, and if nothing else, please get out of here, come on, send off. ā
Yu Gui was stunned throughout the whole process, and was invited out of the county order by several subordinates. Is this really the corrupt and bribed-taking Chen Xiang? Why is he suddenly so upright? Something must have happened in the middle, let's do it one last time tomorrow, there is really no choice but to go back and report to the second prince.
Yunlai Inn.
Qin Yu was sitting at the desk reading by the lamplight, and a woman in white suddenly appeared behind him.
"Childe, Xingzhe has been in prison for so many days, are we really not going to save him?"
Qin Yu shook his head, "We don't need to save it, if I guess correctly, the second brother will definitely save Xingzhe, and the father will definitely not let the second brother get his wish, and now Xingzhe is very safe." ā
"Childe has been in the room all the time, and he hasn't gone out for a walk, how can he know any news outside?"
"Guess, Yu Gui's attitude towards Xingzhe has changed so much during this time, it must be the meaning of the second brother. Father has been keeping a close eye on the three of us, and it is impossible for him not to know the ambition of the second brother. Moreover, the father temporarily added the reward of the pass token at the Talent Conference, which shows that there is also a lack of talents around the father, plus Xingzhe went to the capital for the Feng family to seek medicine, it should be the father who went to find it. The father helped Xingzhe so much, he must have wanted to win over Xingzhe. ā
"So now the second prince has hit the iron plate?"
"That's right, the second brother is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to restrain and his arrogance is too high, which is why he is on the watchful side of his father. ā
"The second prince is facing Your Majesty, it seems that this time he can only work in vain. ā
"Anyway, Xingzhe has been saved, so let's stay put, so as not to provoke the fire. ā
