After several temptations, Wan Huaixing found that the kid in front of him was slippery, and he couldn't get any useful news at all. The good impression was immediate, Wan Huaixing was too lazy to grind his teeth with Jiang Anyi again, and said with a sinking face: "It's not early, Lord Chang is still waiting for news, you go and wake up Lord Li, the official has something to tell Lord Li." ”

This face changed so quickly, Jiang Anyi was amused in his heart, turned around and entered the official house, and there was a room in the inner room, which was Li Yubo's residence. Finally stopped snoring, Jiang Anyi made his intentions clear, Li Yubo got up to greet the guests and met Wan Huaixing.

Jiang Anyi and others were kicked out of the door, leaving Wan Huaixing to talk secretly with Li Yubo, although Wan Huaixing's voice was not high, Jiang Anyi stood not far from the door, and listened attentively and still heard it clearly. After a few words, Wan Huaixing made his intentions clear, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on a few, and pushed his two fingers to Li Yubo's side.

Li Yubo glanced at it and said, "Brother Wan, what does this mean?" ”

"This is the food balance you have accumulated in the Yamen since June last year, and you have been refusing to receive it, so Master Chang asked me to bring it to you. Brother Li, everyone in the yamen has a share in this food balance, including the officials, so if you don't receive it alone, won't it make it difficult for everyone. Wan Huaixing persuaded earnestly.

Li Yubo stretched out his hand, but he took the tea cup on the table, held it in his hand and used the tea lid to play with the tea flavor in the cup, and said lightly: "Brother Wan, Li doesn't dare to ask for this silver, you still take it back and thank Master Chang for me." ”

Wan Huaixing was a little anxious, and his voice almost roared: "Why is Brother Li so stubborn, you must know how to be a man and the same dust as light, how can you gain a foothold in the yamen with such a practice?" ”

"Li is just a craftsman, he can't be an official, and he doesn't know what it means to be with the light, but Li knows that the riverbank burst, hundreds of thousands of people were affected, and the people who were drowned this time were as many as 1,000 people. Li Yubo looked at the tea cup in his hand and said to himself.

Jiang Anyi nodded secretly, there are corrupt officials and honest people in the officialdom, after coming to Linhua County, the county commander Yuan Decheng and the pawn Li Yubo both made him feel that he was not alone.

"Brother Li, you have been in the capital water prison for many years, and the shortcomings of the river workers did not start from you and me, but can be traced back to thousands of years ......."

Wan Huaixing talked endlessly about the time of the two pillars of incense, laying out facts, reasoning, and friendship, Jiang Anyi thought that if this Lord Wan became a monk, he would definitely be able to speak with a lotus tongue and nod stubbornly. It's a pity that Li Yubo is harder than a stubborn stone, so he didn't say a word, and let Wan Huaixing fiddle with his tongue.

The speaker's mouth was dry, the listener was unmoved, Wan Huaixing took the tea and drank it all, and finally made an effort, and said in a low voice: "This time, the Yuanhua River burst the embankment, and the court sent a messenger to inquire. As an important member of the Yamen, Brother Li should be in the same boat in the affection of his colleagues, and the people in the Yamen must be grateful for Brother Li's kindness. ”

Li Yubo was silent for a long time, and then said: "Qin sent to investigate, and Li should report according to the truth." ”

Wan Huaixing's angry voice came from inside the house, "Li Yubo, you are really stubborn, harming others and yourself, you are planning to sell your friends to seek glory, I see how you will gain a foothold in the yamen in the future." Leave! ”

"Lord Wan, don't forget to bring something on the table." Li Yubo said coldly.

Wan Huaixing slammed the door and walked out, and all the officials also listened to it outside the door, and they all hugged Wan Huaixing. Jiang Anyi walked into the house and saw Li Yubo frowning, holding the teacup in a daze, it seems that this Master Li is not easy. Hearing Jiang Anyi's footsteps, Li Yubo put the teacup back on the table, stood up and said, "There is no place to stay, follow me back to the embankment." ”

In a hurry, Li Yubo took Jiang Anyi to the stable to pull out the horse, anxious

Chi left.

Wan Huaixing returned to the hall of the transfer envoy in frustration, and everyone knew that the situation was not good when they saw him with a bitter melon on his face. After briefly explaining the situation, Wan Huaixing gritted his teeth and said: "Li Yubo is determined to go against us, and it seems that he is ready to report us to Qincha, and he will be promoted by selling everyone." ”

Everyone in the hall changed color, Chang Yuchao waved his hand to let the officials in the hall retreat, the door was closed, the hall became gloomy, and the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the hall, as if a storm was brewing.

"Day and night, it's hard to prevent thieves, I'm in danger." Duan Shuang sighed, breaking the silence.

Sanyu stroked his beard, a fierce light flashed in his sunken eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If Li Yubo really tells the truth, everyone here will lose their official positions and be dismissed lightly, and maybe the cane will even lose their heads." ”

The words drifted in the lobby towards the cold wind, and many people felt the slightest chill behind their necks, and couldn't help but shrink. Yu Gongzi Xiong Yi'an played with the folding fan in his hand for a long time, and secretly sighed in his heart, there is no matter of his son to kill the head of the army, he is not short of silver, and the silver from the Yamen every month is accumulated in one place.

Chang Yuchao's gaze fell on Xiong Yi'an's body, and said with a smile: "Xiong Gongzi is a relative of the emperor and a nobleman, and he is well-informed, so I don't know what he thinks?" ”

"Brush" to open the folding fan, Xiong Yi'an gently fanned twice, the long hair on the sideburns was blown by the fan, it was really Yushu chic and graceful in the wind, if there were any swallows and Mei'er at this moment, they would definitely have their eyes shining and exhaling.

"Xiong is just an eight-grade Dushui who joins the army, he is humble and light, and everything obeys the orders of the transfer envoy." Xiong Yi'an closed the folding fan and clasped his hands into fists and arched to Sanyu Chao.

The little fox wanted to shirk his responsibility, Sanyu sneered, at this time, everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, and they didn't want to fly alone, not to mention that Xiong Yi'an's grasshopper was still golden, and he couldn't let him fly away.

Thinking of this, Sanyu smiled super gently: "The Yuanhua River burst the embankment, and the transfer makes it the responsibility of the yamen, and Xiong should take on more heavy responsibilities when he joins the army." The Qincha is coming, Xiong may wish to go to the river embankment to inspect the river embankment in the next few days, check what omissions there are, and know what is missing. ”

Xiong scolded angrily with peace of mind, this is clearly putting himself in front of the wind and rain, what are the disadvantages of river work, do you still need to self-check, are they all made by a few people here, embezzlement of silver, shoddy, preferential relatives and friends, selfishness, tired people and disturb the people, there are countless counts, let yourself go to the inspection, find out the problem report or not? Qin Cha asked, Chang Yuchao spread his hands and put all the responsibility on himself, thinking beautifully.

Xiong Yi'an immediately stood up and said: "Xiong has been caught with a cold in the past few days, and his energy is not good, so he really can't take on this heavy responsibility. ”

Watching Xiong Yiyang go away, everyone in the hall looked at each other, this master was full of confidence, and people were more popular than people. Chang Yuchao was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time, his beard was broken several times, it seems that his plan to use Xiong Yi'an is about to fail, and now it seems that this jade boy can be considered good if he doesn't fall into the well.

The plan has been frustrated, and the trouble still needs to be solved. Chang Yuchao gasped for a moment, straightened out his mood, and said slowly: "Everyone has seen it, the big disaster is coming, and Xiong Gongzi is unwilling to help, and he can't force it, but I'm afraid it's not so easy for him to stay out of the matter." We are tied together, we want to live together, we must die together, and we must not be half-hearted. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely work together to tide over the difficulties." Zou Sujie stood up

Ran, the others also stood up to express their opinions.

"Okay, there is a way that brothers work together to break the gold, and Chang believes that we will be able to tide over the difficulties together." Chang Yuchao also stood up and threw his fists at everyone.

Duan Shuang reminded: "My lord, since Li Yubo refuses to advance and retreat with me, we can't let him spread unfavorable words to us outside, and we should put him under house arrest, and only say to the outside world that he has fallen ill from hard work day and night, and is recuperating in the yamen, and let Wei Zhubo preside over the river embankment." ”

Chang Yuchao was woken up, nodded and said, "Yes, come on, go and invite Li Dianzuo." ”

After a while, the officials who went to ask for someone to report that Li Dianzuo had already left with his entourage. Qiu Guangming hurriedly said: "You can't let Li Yubo go, Master Chang, quickly send someone to chase him back." ”

Sanyu Chao said dejectedly: "It is difficult to master the tiger when it enters the deep mountains, and it is more and more eye-catching to send someone to chase after it at this moment." Zou Sujie, you have a good relationship with Boss Ye, and his family has a lot of ......."

The words are getting lower and lower, and the heads in the lobby are getting closer and closer, and the low voice is like a ghost chirping, and occasionally one or two sinister laughter comes out, which is creepy.

Xiong Yi'an walked out of the lobby and did not go back to the official office, but went home directly. He bought a house on the left side of the yamen of the transfer envoy, and in addition to the four domestic servants brought by the family, he also bought four young and beautiful maids in the market. The domestic servant Xiong Yong was about to go out, and took a look at Xiong He'an who stepped into the door, Xiong Yong didn't care about the apology, and said softly: "Young master, the master sent someone to deliver the letter." ”

In the study, Xiong Yi'an saw the letter sent by his father, which revealed a top-secret news that Jiang Anyi, the assassin of Yuanhua Prefecture, was very likely to come to visit secretly by order.

Xiong Zhiren attached great importance to Jiang Anyi, and on 11 April he sent someone to Jiangfu to invite him to a banquet, but the family who sent the invitation came back to report that Jiang Anyi was not in Beijing when he went out. Xiong Zhiren was stunned, Jiang Anyi, as the assassin of Huazhou, entered Beijing once every three years to make a pilgrimage, how could the Son of Heaven leave Beijing before he returned. Especially when the prince said that the Son of Heaven decided to keep him in Beijing, it was even more impossible for Jiang Anyi to leave Beijing.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiong Zhiren sent his family to inquire about when Jiang Anyi left Beijing, who he had brought with him, what things he had brought, and what he was going to go out for a few days. When his family reported back to Jiang Anyi, he only brought an entourage and hurried south with his clothes, and did not come back a few days later, Xiong Zhiren had a preliminary guess.

went to the East Palace to wait for the prince to come back, as soon as Weng Zi talked, Xiong Zhiren had already confirmed that Jiang Anyi went to the Yuanhua River to investigate the situation of the embankment, and there was no need to ask the Son of Heaven to send Cheng Lu from Ming as the messenger in the imperial history, but secretly let Jiang Anyi be the secret envoy, one bright and one dark, it seems that the river workers of Yuanhua River have made a big deal.

When he returned to his home, Xiong Zhiren was worried, he learned about the maladministration of the transfer envoy Yamen from his son Xiong Yi'an's family letter, and knew that his son also shared a lot of silver, so he had a more heartfelt eye and told him not to use the money first, and then enjoy it slowly before he was transferred to the post. What kind of person is Jiang Anyi, a believer of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for him to show favoritism, and he is secretly investigating, and the officials of the Yamen are afraid that they will not be able to escape.

Xiong Zhiren didn't care about the life and death of others, but his son's safety couldn't be ignored, so he wrote a detailed letter in the study, called his family Xiong Ping, and asked him to go out of the city and send the letter to the south immediately. In the name of the East Palace, Xiong Ping went south through the post station to change horses, and came to Linhua County only one day later than Jiang Anyi.

After reading the letter, Xiong Yi'an secretly lucked, fortunately he did not fall into the quagmire of the transfer envoy Yamen. Now that he knows that Jiang Anyi is coming secretly, can he think of any way to get in touch with this secret messenger, sell some news, and get some credit.

Xiong Yi'an played with the folding fan in his hand, smiling and thinking.
