Chapter Fifty-Six: Discuss and Decide on the Army's Emergency Report
As a eunuch guarding the town, there is no reason for Wang Mude to despise or even ignore such important information, no matter how disgusted he is with Li Mi, he will not be ambiguous in the face of such a big thing.
He can loot in order to find a satisfactory tribute for His Majesty the Emperor, regardless of whether the people live or die, he can also squeeze the people for his own selfishness, fish and meat in the village.
But he would not allow the Japanese to invade the coast, because this is the most fundamental problem, and it is within his purview, and although he is greedy, he is not stupid!
After some discussion, Wang Mude and Chen Heguang decided to go their separate ways, Chen Heguang submitted the information to the Third Division, and Wang Mude mobilized the coastal guard station to investigate the authenticity of the information.
As Li Mi expected, this level of major events is no longer something he can change, and in the face of such a major event, his strength is too small.
This is also the reason why he is reluctant to enter the officialdom, but just wants to be a detective for the rest of his life.
The unconscious Yuan Keli and the injured groom are still in Tao's house, and Li Mi must rush back, take Yuan Keli back, hand him over to his family, or let Xiang Mu take care of him.
So he said goodbye to Chen Heguang: "This matter is important, the villain is also powerless, and it will be in vain to stay and cause trouble, if it is possible, the villain will leave first..."
Chen Heguang didn't quite understand at first why Song Zhiwei, who had always been above the top, would favor Li Mi so much, but now he finally felt it himself.
This young man is full of positive energy, can distinguish between right and wrong, knows what is right and what is wrong, is calm and steady, and has a righteous heart, and he is indeed a material that can be created.
What's more, he is always able to provoke a sense of urgency, as if a small thing can always turn into a big thing in his hands.
This can be said to be an unlucky one, but at the same time, it also brings great opportunities, only when problems are found, can we solve them, and only by constantly solving problems can we become better and better.
Whether Li Mi is the one who is good at solving problems, Chen Heguang doesn't dare to say at present, but Li Mi is definitely the kind of person who is good at finding problems!
He hinted to Jian Dingyong earlier that if he wanted to promote Li Mi to be the head catcher, he was just a casual favor, which was regarded as a reward for Li Mi, and this kind of thing was just a gesture for him, after all, catching fast and the like did not belong to officials, and he could be confidently decided by the magistrate without reporting.
But now, Li Mi has sent information one after another, and the things involved are getting bigger and bigger, and the credit is greater, Chen Heguang really has the heart to cultivate Li Mi.
And in the process of talking to him, although he didn't deliberately brag, he didn't hide it too much, and Chen Heguang could also hear that Li Mi had a lot of personal contacts with Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu.
You must know that Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu are both skeletal people, upright, and even a little out of place, if not, they would not become lonely.
The two old guys who are so tall have a great friendship with a child like Li Mi, and Song Zhiwei has also investigated Li Mi, a young man who is suspected of being a coastal homeless person, has no background at all, and even Hu Mu is very likely to be fake.
In other words, Li Mi has nothing worth plotting at all, so it can be seen that Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu can look down on Li Mi completely because of Li Mi, who likes his quality and talent!
Thinking of this kind of joint, Chen Heguang became more and more polite to Li Mi.
Although Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu are no longer in the officialdom, their reputation is still known to the world, and sometimes, a person's fame will bring more things than an official position.
This is also the reason why scholars sell their fame and reputation, and everyone wants to be famous all over the world.
In other words, although Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu are just ordinary people, no one dares to disrespect them, because they are famous and famous all over the world, and their fame is their strength!
"Li Mi, you are also tired all night, and you still have injuries on your body, and go back to rest first, if Liqing wakes up, he will greet me, go to the tent room when he leaves, and bring some things for me."
When Chen Heguang said this, Li Mi didn't feel much, but Song Zhiwei was taken aback!
Because Song Zhiwei knows very well the temperament of this prefect, he is a person who has no quarrel with the world, no matter how strong and excluded Huang Shiyuan in Tongzhi, he has no counterattack, not even any expression.
Those officials such as general judges also have some shady deeds in private, but he only turns a blind eye, and as for the eunuchs and the like, he doesn't want to offend.
It's as if he's not the prefect, as if everything has nothing to do with him.
This style is a bit like Zhuang Zhou's flow, quite a meaning of inaction, he is like a feather in the river, fluttering, drifting with the current, seemingly weak, but no matter how it sinks.
He doesn't cling to his superiors, he doesn't suppress his subordinates, he doesn't play tricks, and he doesn't work hard behind his back, but his position under his ass is as stable as Mount Tai.
It is precisely because of this that Song Zhiwei and other Zuo officials have never seen him give gifts to anyone, nor have they seen him particularly reward anyone.
But in front of Li Mi, he broke the norm and hinted to Jian Dingyong that he should promote Li Mi to be the head catcher, and now he is rewarding Li Mi softly, and even asked Li Mi to pass on the gift he gave to Yuan Keli!
Yuan Keli is honest and fair, and he is indeed a good official, but he also touched the scales of rebellion and grasped the sensitive unjust case, so he was deposed as a citizen by the one in Beijing.
Such a person can be said to be a little ignorant of current affairs, just like Hai Jui, not a hero, but a fool!
Hai Jui gives people the feeling that the whole world is wrong, he is the only one who is right, he is too insistent on principles, and his principles are extremely unsuitable for that era.
In the end, not only did the emperor hate him, the corrupt officials hated him, and the good officials also hated him, and he went to the point of having no friends for the utopianism in his heart.
In terms of character alone, he has no problem, maybe he is a good person, but by no means a good officer.
Don't you see that Zhang Juzheng has never reused Hai Rui throughout his life.
If you are a scientist or a philosopher, and under the guise that the truth is in the hands of a few, maybe thousands of years later, history will justify you, but unfortunately Hai Jui is not, he is just an official, and he is also an official of feudal society.
In terms of being an official, Yuan Keli is smarter than Hai Rui, because Yuan Keli has also suffered the losses that Hai Rui has suffered, and even his situation is worse than Hai Rui.
But twenty-six years after being deposed as a commoner, Yuan Keli was able to recover and become one of the few elders of the Four Dynasties, which is enough to explain the problem.
The topic is a bit far, but there is no doubt that Yuan Keli is indeed an admirable person, and it is understandable that Chen Heguang wants to make friends, although there are not many people in the officialdom at this time who are willing to get close to Yuan Keli.
But Chen Heguang's style, making friends with Yuan Keli and burning the cold stove is actually quite in line with the prefect's temperament.
In any case, Song Zhiwei could feel that Chen Heguang was really appreciating Li Mi and made a practical statement.
Li Mi was not pretentious, thanked him a few words, and was about to leave, but at this time Wang Mude stopped him!
"Xiao Li catches his head and walks slowly!"
Li Mi knew that Wang Mude would not let him go easily, although this eunuch spoke nicely on the surface, but he was very vicious in his heart, he just didn't know when he would attack Li Mi.
However, Li Mi was not too surprised and flustered, he had already had an experience in dealing with such a person, as long as he could get out, what was he afraid of him?
"What does my father-in-law command?"
Li Mi smiled slightly, turned his head and asked, his unfazed demeanor made Wang Mude even more annoyed in his heart.
In the eyes of this great eunuch, Li Mi is just a little person like a mustard, and he is not a scholar, but just a slut who is indiscriminate and indiscriminate, how can he have such a superior and self-respecting bearing!
Chen Heguang naturally knew the bond between Li Mi and Wang Mude, since he had the heart to cultivate and support Li Mi, he naturally couldn't watch Wang Mude bully Li Mi anymore!
"Father-in-law, Li Mi's little nephew is also tired, if there is anything to order, the father-in-law can tell the official, and the official will order someone to do it."
Wang Mude knew that Chen Heguang would resist Li Mi, but he sneered: "I'm afraid that the prefect will also avoid suspicion in this matter!" ”
When Chen Heguang heard this, his face was also a little displeased, and he asked Wang Mude, "Why did my father-in-law say this?" ”
Wang Mude snorted and said to Chen Heguang: "Lord Prefect, you are a person who loves talents, you are happy to see the hunt, and you favor this Li Mi, I also understand, but this Li Mi can't leave no matter what!" ”
"You should all know that this information was sent by Li Mi, and now there are only a few of us who know, before the matter is clear, even the two of them dare, and I don't dare to let this Li Mi out!"
"If something happens, the three of us will bear the blame together, it is understandable that my lord appreciates Li Mi and takes care of this talented man, but why should I take such a risk with you?"
"This..."Wang Mude said this, Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei also looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while!
Because what Wang Mude said was not unreasonable, they were not worried that Li Mi would leak secrets, because if Li Mi wanted to leak secrets, he would not have to send the information to the government at all.
But there is always a time when things are secret, if you let Li Mi go back, it will be okay if everything really goes well, if something goes wrong, not only Li Mi will be questioned, but the three of them will also be implicated!
Li Mi hadn't thought about these things before, but this was definitely not a good time to fight against Wang Mude, so he said to Chen Heguang.
"What the prince said is very true, it is the villain's lack of consideration, since this is the case, the villain will stay in this mansion, but he still has to bother the prefect, can you send someone to take Yuan Keli and Brother Yuan to this room for diagnosis and treatment?"
The reason why Chen Heguang asked Li Mi to give gifts was that he had the intention to make friends with Yuan Keli, could it be that this Suzhou Qingtian was willing to come to the government to report the news this time, after all, if there was no such thing, Yuan Keli would not be injured.
So Chen Heguang also agreed with a smile: "It's best to be like this, the official will send someone to pick it up immediately!" ”
Wang Mude thought that Li Mi would entangle with him, and then he would make a good excuse to rectify Li Mi regardless of priority, but he didn't expect Li Mi to admit it, and there was no sense of satisfaction in his heart.
At this moment, a flag soldier came from outside and reported to Wang Mu Deyu: "Father-in-law, there is an urgent report from the guard, please go back to call the shots quickly!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and at this time, there were also post soldiers from the prefect's yamen who crashed in, and reported to Chen Heguang urgently: "Lord Prefect, report urgently!" Haiphong Emergency! ”
