Luo Li woke up in the morning, washed hastily, and slowly went out of the city with Zhou Zheng and others.

If you don't say that Zhang Ling is a sensible person, he has been waiting outside the inn early in the morning, and he has not stepped into it, as if there is a chasm to block it.

Luo Li despised this tightly, this is called to be a blue pond again, and to set up an archway!

In the midst of farewell laughter, the mission team left Ningshan County and headed towards the border Qingnan County.

In the past, most of the envoys to Shu Guo were from Qingnan County, Anguo, and then to Qingdong County, Shuguo, which means that Luo Li could see the long-lost Yue Wu and Lang County Orders.

With the feeling of not seeing him for a long time and missing it very much, Luo Li was faintly excited.

But what happened next made him half angry!

All the reasons arise from Zhouzheng!

The cheeky king didn't know what to think, every time he entered the city, as long as he encountered a vegetable leaf wine banquet, he would repeat his old tricks and push Luo Li out again and again.

"Deputy Envoy Lord Luo said that he wanted to observe the people's feelings!"

"Deputy Envoy Lord Luo said that this antique is quite beautiful!"

"Deputy Envoy Lord Luo said that he wanted to buy souvenirs and go back to his family to taste!"

Anyway, no matter when and where, it was said by the deputy envoy Lord Luo, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Zheng.

Once it was time to collect the money, Zhou Zheng would rush to take it, and when he came back, he would divide it into four parts and give it to everyone.

Of course, Qiu Fu and Li Zimi are very satisfied, if they have money, they don't say that they have money, the pot is still Luo Li's back, where can they find such a good thing?

At first, Luo Li resisted slightly, but later he became numb and let it go, no matter what he Zhou Zheng said, in the end, everyone was not guilty.

Having said that, Luo Li was still uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that one day he would find the field back!

Half a month has passed, half of the domestic journey in Anguo has advanced, and more and more money has been collected, and Luo Li's sense of panic has increased.

In the end, I had to urge Zhou Zheng to speed up his progress, so that there would be fewer opportunities to enter the city, less money would be collected, and it would not be easy to have an accident!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng refused, saying that it was not to collect money, but to prevent Luo Guo from discovering the purpose of the envoy.

Usually it takes about two months for an envoy to arrive in Xijing, Shuguo, and if the daily speed is extremely fast, the Luoguo spies will definitely wonder if Anguo is going to make a big move.

Therefore, the purpose of moving forward slowly is to hide the eagerness to form an alliance.

"Ahh Brother just wants to collect more money! Luo Li took a sip disdainfully.

How did Zhou Zheng fall into a single person, and said with a smile: "Hehe! was actually seen by the virtuous brother, so forget it! ”

Get! Luo Li is completely speechless, let him go!

The mission finally arrived in Qingnan County in the evening a month after its departure.

The long-lost county town made Luoli's memories pour into my heart.

Getting acquainted with the fat man, Yue Wu, and Lang County Commander, relying on his anxious wits to defeat Sun Li's rebels, and offending Qiu En all started from Qingnan County.

When he came back to his senses and saw the familiar faces of Yue Wu and Lang County, Luo Li greeted him with a big smile.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and Yue Wu has a lot of vicissitudes than before, all because of Sun Li's rebellion, he was condemned by the imperial court, and he was demoted from the general of the border town to the deputy general of the border town.

Emperor Anguo still remembered his past merits and did not send a border town general to the pass in Qingnan County, so Yue Wu was still the number one.

Of course, Sun Li's fate was much more miserable, he was first escorted to Shangjing, and then he was sent to Heishui Weitian Prison, and finally sentenced to Ling Chi after the autumn!

The Sun family was implicated because of this, and was sentenced to wipe out the three clans, some time ago, Heishuiwei arrested people everywhere, and Anguo was in a rumor for a while, and the people who had been related to Sun Li closed the door one by one!

After the greetings, the night came, and like other county seats, the Lang county order also set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

Since Luo Li went out from Qingnan County, the Lang County Order didn't have anything to do with the brain, and it was enough to directly have a table of big fish and big meat!

After a full meal and wine, everyone returned to the post station, which seemed to be very right, but it was not right!

Lying on the bed, Luo Li meditated hard and still wondered why Zhou Zheng didn't slander the county order this time!

In addition, he has collected too much money recently, and the pressure in his heart is huge, and Luo Li has completely lost sleep!

Opening the door and coming to the breezy courtyard, Luo Li, who couldn't sleep, counted the stars on his back.

"Crunch!"

The sound of opening the door came, and Zhou Zheng, who was dressed in single clothes, walked out of the door and said with a smile: "I just heard the sound of the door opening, and I guessed that it was a virtuous brother!" ”

Seeing that Luo Li didn't pay attention, Zhou Zheng approached and asked with concern, "Insomnia?" ”

"Hmm!" Luo Li nodded.

"Why?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Lowering his head, Luo Li sighed and said, "My brother has a huge amount of money, is there no pressure in his heart?" ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Brother Xian is this? ”

"Hmm!" Luo Li replied.

"Hey! What did the brother think was disturbing the virtuous brother, it turned out that he just collected a little money! Zhou Zheng laughed and patted Luo Li on the shoulder.

Money? Nothing more?

Luo Li was completely speechless!

The money collected in recent days can almost buy the house given to him by Wang Yuanzhi in the capital, you can imagine how terrible it is!

In case someone reports or is investigated, you will definitely not be able to run away from cutting off your head!

"Come, come, come! Sit down and listen to your brother! Zhou Zheng tugged at Luo Li's sleeve, and the two sat side by side on the steps.

After clearing his throat, Zhou Zheng licked his face and asked, "Is it good for my brother?" ”

Turning his head, Luo Li looked at him in a daze, isn't it puzzled? How do you carry forward the spirit of being thick-skinned?

Zhou Zheng blushed slightly when he was stared at, and said with a smile: "Ahem! Forget it, change the question for my brother! Do you think that corrupt officials are afraid of Your Majesty? ”

"I'm afraid!" Luo Li replied without thinking.

"What kind of corrupt official is not afraid of Your Majesty, do you know the virtuous brother?" Zhou Zheng asked again.

Luo Li was stumped!

It stands to reason that any kind of corrupt official will be afraid of the emperor, at least the official position will not be guaranteed, and at worst the head will fall to the ground, how can there be a corrupt official who is not afraid?

Unable to think of an answer, Luo Li had to shake his head.

"Useful corrupt officials are not afraid of Your Majesty!" Zhou Zheng said with a smile.

"What does that mean?" Luo Li was dumbfounded!

Seeing that it was incomprehensible, Zhou Zheng slowly confided: "No matter how big or small the official position is, in fact, every official is useful, but this is not enough!" ”

"If Your Majesty thinks you are useful, then you don't have to be afraid that Your Majesty will investigate your corruption!"

"Because Your Majesty wants to use you, I am reluctant to kill you!"

"Greedy, greedy, greedy, remember not to be greedy at will!"

"Some money can be taken, some money can't be taken, you have to clear this point!"

"For example, you can take the money of filial piety from the counties along the way, the reason is very simple, they need to go to Beijing to say a few good words, this is a gesture and it is very easy to do."

"But when you come to Qingnan County, have you ever seen taking money for your brother? The reason is also very simple, the border can squeeze out oil and water, which shows that the people are not living well, and it is very easy for officials to force the people to rebel, which leads to big problems in Anguo, and such hot money cannot be taken! ”

"If the Lang County order is shoehorned, not only will my brother not take it, but he will report it immediately!"

"To sum up, in one sentence, mediocre and corrupt officials are afraid of collecting more money, and useful corrupt officials are afraid of collecting less money!"

Such crooked reasoning has scorched Luo Lilei's exterior and tenderness inside, and he really deserves to be a cheeky king, and the excuses for collecting money are so high-sounding.

However, what Zhou Zheng said is also right, the deeper the contact, the more he finds that his communication skills are very strong, and he can convince the other party in three or two sentences.

If Luo Li is the emperor of Anguo, he will be reluctant to kill such a person who is not greedy.

After a while, Luo Li came back to his senses and asked, "But brother, if Your Majesty finds a replacement courtier, won't it be dangerous?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! That's why we have to work hard to always be a useful courtier of Your Majesty, not a mediocre person! ”

"Whew~" Luo Li exhaled turbidity, the stone in his heart finally landed, and his body felt extremely relaxed.

Not to mention the future, at least Luo Li is very useful at the moment, and Emperor Anguo is very important to him in a short time, so you can accept the silver ticket with peace of mind!

After chatting a few words, the two went into the house to sleep, they had to recuperate tonight, and they would rush to Qingdong County, Shuguo before dark tomorrow!
