Volume 2 Song of the Pilgrimage Chapter 94 A Warm Invitation
The case was closed, and under the inducement of Chang Laifu, the case, which was originally gathered by the people of Lin'an County, gradually fell silent. There was no sword to face each other, there was no flesh and blood, just relying on a few words from the Chang County Order, the Wang family who was sued bowed his head and was silent, and the people outside looked at each other, and finally shook their heads and went home.
As for the Wang family, holding his daughter Wang Yaya in his arms, he knelt in the county government and refused to leave for a long time, until Chang Laifu couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked the officials to retreat and set up the county office.
These officials should have been following Chang Laifu all the year round, and they were not natives of Taicang Eight Counties, so they didn't spare any strength to shoot, and the water and fire sticks in their hands were forked under the armpits of the former, and one of them was rude and sorry for Wang Yaya, who was crying, and was about to throw the mother and daughter out of the county office, and it could be seen that the eyes of these people were full of disgust.
Zhou Shuyi couldn't help it, strode forward and snatched Wang Yaya, who was crying loudly, and pushed away the official who was holding Wang's family, without saying a word, silently took his children out of the county office. is considered to be sensible to the Wang family, so he didn't continue to be strong, otherwise Zhou Senjun would not have been easy to deal with just now.
The officials glanced back at Chang Laifu, who smiled and shook his head, and turned to walk towards Li Xiao, who had just gotten up. He arched his hand and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the adults who joined the army are more and more energetic, and the subordinates' admiration for you is really like a surging river, endless. ”
Jingzhao Yin Mansion, as the boss of the county government of Lin'an eight counties, although he is of the same rank as the seventh grade, Chang Laifu also has to be called Li Xiao, and he calls himself an official. It's the rule.
Li Xiao hid the gloom at the beginning, smiled back, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Chang said that he laughed, these Japanese officials have been busy in the courtyard with the errands assigned by His Majesty, getting up early every day and being greedy for darkness, for fear of mistakes, this day I have to be careful to do things, and I don't even have time to rest, how can I still have any energy." After all, it is His Majesty's errand, and those of us below can only do it wholeheartedly, but we dare not have other thoughts, Lord Chang, you say yes? ”
It's all polite words, although he has just entered the officialdom, his mental age is also a person in his thirties, and he can still deal with it casually.
He naturally knew about the silver hidden in the vegetables and vegetables that he brought into the yard every day, but the next day he still put it in the ox cart and returned it untouched. To be honest, since he came to this world, his concept of money has become weaker and weaker, of course, this is because of the Chu family. The Chu family is rich, and no one in Jiangnan Province knows about this. And after arriving in Jingshi, although there was no silver for a period of time, most of them, with the help of Chen Ziye and the emperor, could be regarded as having a lot of money. Especially now, the birthday banquet is a night, a thousand taels of silver, and the rest of the rewards are countless, plus the shares of Aunt Huang's tea stall, there are nearly 100 taels in the account every month. Therefore, now he is not short of money at all.
Li Xiao's words made Chang Laifu unable to judge whether the former had found the silver or not, after all, the former did not mention the matter of the silver, but kept emphasizing that he was busy. I don't know if it's intentional, but I can't directly pick it out. Today's Li Xiao is not an enemy, no matter how much he hates it, he has to look at Yang Gongzi's face and be patient.
Regarding Li Xiao's attitude, Yang Gongzi made it clear that they would use the Huairou policy. Of course, this policy was put forward by His Majesty the Emperor when dealing with the southern barbarians, and the effect was remarkable, and it was firmly recorded in the annals of Haoguo.
"What the Lord of the Army said is that His Majesty's errand naturally cannot be flawed, and it is also a hard work, if you encounter any inconvenience in the future, the Lord can come to the lower official, as long as the lower official can help, the lower official will definitely do everything." Chang Laifu moved half a step forward and sneered: "After all, we are all doing things for Your Majesty." ”
He paused for a moment, straightened up, and continued, "But my lord has been busy for so many days, so it is better to rest and rest today." A few days ago, when the adults came, they couldn't set up a banquet to entertain them, but today they are free, and the adults can enjoy a delicious face......"
This is to invite Li Xiao to dinner. But on the surface, it is a banquet to entertain, but in fact, who knows if it is a Hongmen banquet. Chang Laifu has changed his previous arrogance today, so polite, it is estimated that today's banquet is the person behind it.
Yangzhuang! For Taicang Eight Counties, although Li Xiao can't say that he knows everything about it, but through the files given by the procuratorate, he also knows about 7788, but only for Yangzhuang, he still knows a little, and in the archives of the procuratorate, there are very few records of Yangzhuang, and after asking Zhou Shuyi, there is almost no matter about Yangzhuang in Jingzhaoyin's mansion. It appeared in Lin'an County without saying a word, and the name Yangzhuang has only been mentioned in Taicang Eight Counties.
The huge Jingshi City has no news about the Zhuangzi around it.
It is certain that Yangzhuang is in Jingshi, in other words, there are people above Yangzhuang, and that person is deliberately hiding Yangzhuang in Taicang Eight Counties, and at the same time, the eight county yas of Taicang eight counties must have an inseparable relationship with Yangzhuang, especially Lin'an County Ya, which is Yangzhuang's biggest protection and umbrella in Taicang eight counties.
"Since Lord Chang was graciously invited, how could the official have a reason to refuse, it just so happened that he had eaten lightly these days, so he accepted Lord Chang's kindness and had a good meal." Li Xiao looked at Zhou Shuyi, who was walking from outside the door, and agreed with a smile.
You can't escape, so it's better to go and see who Yang Gongzi is.
People who can achieve this status now, although it is because they have the protection of people from above, they will not be without ability. I am afraid that part of the reason for today's battle is for him. He is not a fool, Yang Zhuang Yang Gongzi is not a fool, and Chang Laifu is not.
As a Beijing official, as the boss of the county government of Taicang Eight Counties, and as the focus of countless officials in Beijing. What is the situation of Wang's case today, the officialdom present will not know, but Chang Laifu dares to reverse black and white like this, is he not afraid, Li Xiao returned to Beijing in the future and complained to the emperor.
No one will doubt whether Li Xiao has this ability. Therefore, today's case is in Liwei, it is to show the ability of his Yangzhuang and Lin'an County Ya, and today's banquet is to him in an olive branch, as long as he is wooed, then he is afraid of any complaint, they are all their own people, grasshoppers on a rope, they want to die together, and they want to paste together. Moreover, the most important point is that the benefits of attracting a little poet who promotes the hot ones are definitely greater than the pay.
Another point is that this little poet fairy is one of the five chief examiners of the scientific examination in the near future.
"Lord Xiao Li is refreshing." Chang Laifu smiled hilariously: "It's not too early today, why don't you go with the lower officials?" A carriage had been prepared outside the yamen. ”
Hearing Li Xiao's promise, Chang Laifu even changed his title, from the army to the little Li, he had already subconsciously thought that Li Xiao was one of them. For a moment, I even forgot that I was pulled by the former when I first came.
Li Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Chang Laifu who made a gesture and turned around and walked towards the outside of the yamen, a trace of gloom gradually appeared on his good-looking face, his brows were tightly locked, and his originally relaxed fists were clenched tightly at this moment. He glanced at the ground where the Wang clan was kneeling, a flash of pity flashed in his eyes, and then a trace of killing intent quickly emerged.
"Childe, I didn't expect this Lin'an County to be so presumptuous, and Chang Laifu was even more bullying like this." Zhou Shuyi was indignant, glared at Chang Laifu angrily, and then looked away. This is still in the Lin'an County Ya, and from time to time there are several Lin'an County officials walking by, they are packing up the objects in the Yamen Hall, some sweeping the ground, and some placing stools and chairs. When a few people passed by Li Xiao, they would bow their heads slightly and say "Master Li" respectfully.
Li Xiao let go of his fists and sighed. Without the help of the third-class officials of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, with him and Zhou Shuyi, they would not be able to fight the people of Chang Laifu, who have deep roots in Lin'an County, let alone the mysterious Yangzhuang. He glanced at the busy officials in the hall, walked out of the door, and said in a low voice: "This is also a matter of no way, since Your Majesty gave the policy, he has not paid much attention to management, which makes the power of Lin'an County, or the entire Taicang Eight Counties, completely fall into the hands of a few county commanders." ”
He paused for a moment, suddenly thought of Yang Zhuang, and continued: "Because of this, the appearance of Yang Zhuang has made Taicang Eight County have contact with the people there...... There is also a possibility that it was the people there who made Yangzhuang have a connection with Taicang Eight Counties. In short, Yang Zhuang did not let the government appear in the matter of oppressing the people, everything was borne by him, and the government covered it up, so that Yang Zhuang did not appear in the sight of the various departments of the Beijing Division for many years, so that the various departments of the Beijing Division could not be held accountable, and the eight counties of Taicang continued to accumulate shortcomings. ”
"What about the time of Jingcha? Those are all ......" As he spoke, Zhou Shuyi subconsciously closed his mouth, and he thought of a very terrifying possibility.
Li Xiao knew what Zhou Senjun was thinking, nodded, his beautiful face was full of worry, and he continued: "That's right, although Jingcha is the most fair method of Haoguo's school examination officials, but Jingcha's officials will never be two-phase or factory-like. ”
He wanted to speak and stopped, the so-called first-order officials crushed people to death, and the largest official in Jingcha was only the third grade, and the third-grade Beijing officials would not come to Taicang Eight Counties, even if they came, there were bigger officials. He held on to his heavy head, and he couldn't stop having a headache. He was now beginning to understand the emperor's real intention in sending him to Taicang Eight Counties, but he, a salted fish, didn't want to get involved.
Chang Laifu was already in the carriage, he poked out his round head, smiled at Li Xiao and the others, and said: "Little Li, Lord slow, Lin'an County is not as good as the road in Jingshi City, if there is no carriage, it is not easy to walk." ”
Read between the lines.
Li Xiao hugged his fists and smiled: "Thank you Lord Chang for reminding me." ”
After finishing speaking, he jumped directly into the carriage, did not step on the step bench, and then got into the carriage, and there was no movement. And Zhou Shuyi took the whip from the horseman's hand, with a cold face.
Chang Laifu smiled, waved his hand, and signaled to start.
