When everyone arrived at the boundary of Lin'an County, there was already a shortage of water and food, and even the civil officials who followed began to eat one meal a day. Except for Emperor Taizu, everyone poured two cups of tea, and the other generals looked at the head of the civil officials on the opposite side, and did not dare to let the water be stored anymore, so they could only be silent. Only Zhu Biao didn't care about the others and drank five cups in a row.

Li Qing said: "My lord, I have something to explain to my master, can you allow us to leave for a while?" ”

A civil official in the middle of the right side said sourly: "Lord Zhu should have listened to the report, I didn't expect Lord Zhu to have such a net worth, I really can't see it, I can't see it." “

When Li Qing heard the man's tone, he was unhappy in his heart, and said: "Li Qing's realm is mine, mine is my master's, others can't envy it, not everyone has such a vision as my master, and can receive an apprentice like me." “

Zhu Biao said: "Don't talk nonsense, even if Li Qing is your father, this will not be my Zhu family." ”

Wang Wensheng almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Li Qingyan quickly pulled him. The corners of Emperor Taizu's mouth twitched slightly, and he sat on it to watch the excitement without saying a word.

Li Qing replied to Zhu Biao: "Li Qing is not my father, he is your son."

As soon as Li Qing's words fell, the person on the right side squirted out a sip of tea. Just now Zhu Biao's words, he almost couldn't hold back, so he took a sip of tea. Unexpectedly, before the water was swallowed, I heard Li Qing's more powerful reply.

The person sitting under Zhu Biao said in a rough voice: "It's really insulting to Sven, insulting to Sven." Suddenly, even Zhu Biao, the row of people on the left laughed. Obviously, the person who said that sentence was a rough man, and he wanted to ask for it again after drinking two cups just now, but was stopped by the person spraying tea on the other side.

Zhu Biao laughed and said: "The stinky boy knows how to make fun of your master, if you really have the ability, please ask Li Qing to come over and let the master meet." After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Li Qing really wanted to hit his head to death, but he came again, and someone said in front of him that he wanted to see him.

The first person sitting on the right side is surnamed Kong, whose name is Yu. He is the head of all civil officials, and he manages everyone's words and deeds on weekdays. Of course, in addition to Zhu Biao, one is the master's favorite Zhu Biao, and the other is that he doesn't want to be angry with Zhu Biao, so he is excluded.

Kong Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and saluted Zhu Biao and said, "Master Zhu, I really admire you. Don't you see, your apprentice is Li Qing. Since you didn't notice anything so obvious from the time we came in, it's no wonder that the master just said that you couldn't explain it clearly. ”

Zhu Biao became angry, stood up and asked Li Qingdao: "Your real name is Li Qing, is Li Xiao a fake name?" ”

Kong Yu said: "Master Zhu doesn't have to be angry, Li Xiao should also be his real name." Otherwise, no one would have known the name just now. ”。

Li Qing saw that Zhu Biao was angry, and explained: "My original name was Li Xiao, and I later changed my name to Li Qing after I went to the third room. Master never left an address, and I didn't know where Master went, nor did I have the opportunity to tell Master about it. ”

When Zhu Biao heard what Li Qing said, his face looked good. patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said, "I don't blame you for being a teacher, just say anything you have in front of everyone, these are my brothers, there is nothing that they can't know."

Li Qing nodded and said, "Aren't you just going to explain?" My master is frank and open-minded, and it is not impossible to say it in front of everyone. I'm afraid that if I say it, you go back and compare your own children, and think that the children you raise are useless. When the time comes, if you accidentally anger yourself to death, isn't it the sin of me and my master? "On weekdays, Zhu Biao is enough to coax and coax, and he never looks at them as civil officials. It's good now, I accepted an apprentice, but my temper is really the same as Zhu Biao. I can't stand it at all, I don't say anything, I'm still sharp-toothed. All the civil officials were puffing up with anger, only Kong Yu, who was sitting at the top, did not change his face at all.

The civil servant who spoke before spoke again: "I'm listening, and I'll see how you compare my children to me." “

Li Qing didn't care about the ugly faces of the others, and said, "Wang Wensheng brought the account book to a few adults."

Wang Wensheng nodded, went down and took a lot of account books and distributed them to the people on the right. Everyone got the account book and began to look through it, and then several people discussed it.

Kong Yu said: "These are the expenses for helping the victims in the past year, and the official documents of the imperial court, and the food and salary from the disaster relief in Li Qing's territory, which will be settled and returned to him in the future." ”

Everyone looked at Li Qing with a little more respect, these are really not things that ordinary people can do. It is the same thing to be able to donate these grains, whether they are distressed or not, don't forget that Li Qing's territory is also a hard-hit area, he has raised so many people here, how can there be so much food and water. This is definitely not a simple person, no wonder Zhu Biao, who has eyes above the top, is full of praise for him.

At this time, someone from outside said that the county order of Lin'an County had arrived. Emperor Taizu motioned for him to come in, and the man looked at Li Qing, who nodded. After a while, the county magistrate of Lin'an County came in and met with Lord Yushi and other adults. He handed over two extra-long notebooks and a box of books.

The Lin'an County Decree moved the account books of all the relief victims in Lin'an County since the famine, as well as the account books of grain donations from various families. One of the two memoranda is the recent situation in Lin'an County and the disaster relief situation. One is to catch the details of instigating the victims to make trouble.

These hard-pressed civil officials on the right began to take stock of the accounts again, what did they do here, first they counted the account books for Zhu Biao, and now they are from Lin'an County. Emperor Taizu began to look at the twists and turns of the county order of Lin'an County.

Li Qing asked the concubine to take the concubine to rest in the warm pavilion next door, and also asked people to put ice and some snacks in the room. After the concubine went in, she saw the arrangement, and deliberately asked the people around her to come out and thank Li Qing.

Li Qing also asked people to prepare snacks and smoothies for the people on the side of Lord Yushi and Zhu Biao, and the civil official only gave Kong Yu to thank him for helping to speak just now. The other civil servants could only go hungry and continue to take account. Li Qing also deliberately said that if he didn't give them food, it would be bad if he soiled the account books, and the meal was about to be ready anyway.

After reading the recital, Emperor Taizu motioned to the county magistrate of Lin'an County to sit aside. Asked Li Qingdao: "Where did you get so much food relief for the victims?" “

Li Qing said: "This is thanks to my master, here I embezzled my master's money to build. I had already earned my money back. ”

Li Qing turned to look at Zhu Biao and said, "Master knows who I am, I don't like my career, I don't like to be famous, and I don't know how to do things for the people and the court." I am helping the victims because of you, Master. Because all this money and food belong to the master, the master loves the people and the Tang Dynasty on weekdays. After the disaster, I didn't want to care about it, but then I thought that if Master was here, I would definitely not watch the people of Datang starve to death and die of thirst. I was afraid that Master would know that I would not save my heart when I saw death, and cut off relations with me. So I took it upon myself to use the money for disaster relief. When the disaster has passed, the household department will come and settle the settlement with me, and then I will return the money to Master. “

The civil officials pouted while taking stock of the account books, who didn't know that Li Qing was talking about the scene, did he dare not help the victims? If the victims make trouble, he will be fine. This is obviously putting gold on Zhu Biao's face.
