Chapter 203: Deputy Chief Tong came to visit

Li Rizhi and the four of them were very excited, talking and laughing, and rode back to Chen Yingying's house.

Chen Yingying sent a servant to the Taoist Academy to inform those scholars, telling them that the case had been solved, and that Linghu Changqing, the chief administrator of the inner court, had been arrested.

In the process of solving the case this time, Li Rizhi was quite disappointed with these scholars.

These people didn't help much, only one full beam was okay, and they ran back and forth, which can be regarded as a little effort.

The rest of the people are not doing well.

In fact, Li Rizhi does not agree with this kind of behavior of the scholars, it is not their business, they hang high, and treat the things that happen around them with the mood of watching the excitement.

Scholars all invest in the bank, and they all hope to be valued by wealthy nobles, which is normal under this imperial examination system.

However, you can't go crazy and only think about drilling camps all day long, which is not okay.

The investment bank roll, at least one roll, what is this roll, is to help the government solve the case! Regardless of whether the case can be solved or not, but the help before and after the saddle at least proves that the attitude is good, and it is impossible for people in the government not to look at it.

Perhaps, the officials at the bottom will not be of much help in the scientific examination, but if the scientific examination fails, then these people will be able to help.

These officials can at least give the candidates a place to make money to eat, and let the scholars be a white helper, copying and writing in the yamen, at least they can eat together, so that they will not live in embarrassment in Chang'an City, without food and clothing.

Wouldn't it be terrible if you didn't pass the scientific expedition, had no money to eat, and didn't have the money to go home? I have an errand to do, and I can still make a living at the very least, and I am waiting for the next exam!

Therefore, it is better to leave a way back for yourself, and these scholars don't know how to leave a way back for themselves, which shows that they are lacking in dealing with the world, and they can only read, at best, they are just nerds, and their future prospects are very limited.

Of course, maybe the scholars' vision is too high, and they disdain to help people at the county order level solve cases, and if they want to help, they can help people like Shangshu of the Criminal Department, this possibility is also there, although this possibility is not very likely!

Therefore, Li Rizhi only sent servants to inform those scholars, and did not tell the scholars that he and Fu Guibao were going to study in the Chang'an County Ya, of course, they would not mention that they had already met the emperor and empress.

Li Ri knew how they celebrated at home, so he didn't mention it for the time being, and said that he was a child slave who went out of the city to arrest people.

Tong Guinu led hundreds of forbidden troops, a large group of people, majestic, murderous, rushed out of the city gate at a gallop, rushed out of more than ten miles in one breath, tired and breathless, but did not see half of Linghu Changqing's shadow.

Accompanying Tong Guinu out of the city was a forbidden army captain. The lieutenant said: "Deputy Chief Tong, we can't chase him like this, if Ling Hu Chang leaves the avenue and hides in the countryside, then we won't be able to find him at all." Moreover, maybe we have overrun and have surpassed Linghu Changqing, and he is behind us at this time, so the problem now is not to chase, but to find! ”

Tong Guinu is the first time to come out to arrest people, for how to catch people is not very clear, at first, he thought that as long as it is fast enough, now he also found that it seems that fast is not enough, fast can not catch people, so what is the use of fast!

Tong Guinu looked left and right, both sides of the avenue seemed to be the same, and he had no choice but to ask, "So, what do you say we should do now?" ”

The forbidden army is unwilling to come out with Tong Guinu to arrest people, needless to say if it is hard or not, but to catch people, and the credit is not theirs, but they can't catch people, but the responsibility must be counted on their heads, such a thankless errand, no one is willing to do it.

The captain blinked his eyes and said, "Otherwise, let's go back and transfer troops now, transfer him a few hundred people, and then cast a net in all directions, chasing and intercepting him, I don't believe that Ling Fox Changqing can run to the sky!" ”

When the other soldiers heard this, they all nodded their heads and said, "Yes, even if he runs to the sky, we will shoot him down as well!" ”

Tong Guinu thought about it, and now it seems that there is no other good way. However, it doesn't seem appropriate to go back and transfer troops like this now. After they left the city, they just ran around, so that not to mention the credit, even if it was not even hard work.

Tong Guinu said: "Take this stewardship, otherwise, let's go to the nearby village and search, what do you think?" Maybe you can really find someone, but if you don't search, who can know the result!

When the lieutenant heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he was overjoyed, and said, "It makes sense, but, in this way, is it okay?" Can this really be the case? ”

The soldiers' eyes were also bright, all of them were overjoyed, they all felt a little embarrassed, they just came out to arrest someone, Deputy Chief Tong even wanted to let them into the village, this kind of good thing is simply unimaginable!

Tong Guinu didn't understand what the soldiers were thinking, he said: "What is really fake, of course it is so, if we don't search it, then we will go back like this, how can we explain to the emperor and the queen?" ”

As soon as the captain heard this, he immediately bowed his hand to Tong Guinu and said: "I am willing to take the head of the horse as the deputy head of Tong, deputy head Tong is the first to see, Deputy Chief Tong is what you say, we will do what you say, if anyone dares not listen to you, I will screw off someone's head and kick it as a ball!" ”

The soldiers also said in unison: "I am willing to serve Deputy Chief Tong!" ”

Tong Guinu suddenly had the feeling of being a general, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Search! ”

The lieutenants and soldiers all thought in their hearts: "Deputy Chief Tong is too rare, he is simply a boy who gives money!" No wonder his surname is Tong, it turns out that this is what it means!

These soldiers immediately rushed into a nearby village, under the pretext of arresting people, to arrest Linghu Changqing, but in fact, it was a blind toss, tossing and turning, and using all their skills to take sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and eggs, but it was really hard to the point that they could no longer sell it!

Just when the soldiers finished tossing one village and wanted to go to the next village and then toss, someone from the city came, but it was a few small eunuchs in the palace.

The little eunuchs are the people who can observe the wind and see the direction of the wind, and when they saw the fall of Linghu Changqing, they knew that Tong Guinu was going to develop and take over the position of the chief administrator.

These little eunuchs were the first to get the news, so they ran out of the palace as soon as possible, wanting to find Tong Guinu. Hurry up and slap the sycophants on the back.

If the child slave is willing to accept them, then they are very willing to worship the child slave as their godfather. As for some of the little eunuchs, they are older than Tong Guinu, so it doesn't matter, anyway, they worship their godfather, not their own father, the older the godson, doesn't it prove that the godfather is more capable!

Just when a few little eunuchs found Tong Guinu, they saw that behind Tong Guinu, there was a large group of forbidden soldiers, those soldiers were all red, even noisy, some soldiers even had a chicken in their left hand and a duck in their right hand.

The little eunuchs were all dumbfounded, and they all thought in their hearts: "This new godfather, it seems that his brain is not very good, he dares to disturb the people at this time, he doesn't want to be the chief manager, right?" The more the new boss is handed over, the more he must keep a low profile, so as not to be caught by others with pigtails, this new godfather doesn't care at all! ”

When Tong Guinu saw these little eunuchs coming, he asked, "What are you doing here, but Linghu Changqing's matter has been settled, was he caught by Peng Ji?" ”

He intuitively realized that it might be Linghu Changqing who was caught, and it is estimated that he should have been caught by Peng Ji, anyway, no matter who caught him, as long as Linghu Changqing was caught, then he, the general manager, would be decided!

A few little eunuchs hurriedly said: "If you go back to the general manager, that Linghu Changqing was indeed caught, but he was not caught by Peng County's order, but by a scholar named Li Rizhi and his companions!" ”

Tong Guinu sighed, and thought: "Li Rizhi, it's Li Rizhi again, this person can be regarded as saving the prince's life, and he will have a great future in the future, maybe he can become the prime minister, at least he is also a six-book book, I have to make friends with him!" ”

Tong Guinu immediately returned to Chang'an City with the soldiers, but there were many of them, and they were swaggering through the city, so when they entered the city gate, they were actually seen by a royal historian, and when they saw the chickens and ducks carried by those soldiers, they knew that they were disturbing the people and returned!

The imperial history has a great sense of justice, and when he saw the leading eunuch, Tong Guinu, he pointed to the Tong Guinu on the horse, and shouted: "Eunuch, dare to bully the people, you deserve to die, this official will enlighten the Son of Heaven, and I will join you!" ”

Tong Guinu shrank his head, he didn't dare to quarrel with Yu Shi, Yu Shi made a living by talking about cannons, he wasn't, he ate with his ability!

Tong Guinu didn't catch Linghu Changqing, and he didn't return to Chang'an until Linghu Changqing was caught for a long time, so he didn't have to go to the emperor and Empress Wu to give his order, and at this time he didn't dare to make do with Empress Wu, lest Empress Wu say that he was ineffective and a waste, and it would not be too late to see Empress Wu tomorrow.

After inquiring about Li Rizhi's foothold in Chang'an, Tong Guinu immediately rushed to see Li Rizhi, wanting to hear how he caught Linghu Changqing, and he wanted to make friends casually!

When he arrived at Chen Yingying's house, after the porter went in to report, Li Rizhi was shocked that Tong Guinu actually came to see him! Originally, he still wanted to see Tong Guinu, but he was afraid that he wouldn't see him, but he never thought that things would be reversed, and Tong Guinu came to see him, and he still took the initiative to come to the door!

Li Rizhi immediately greeted the door, invited Tong Guinu into the door, entered the main hall, and sat down with Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi on the side.

Tong Guinu is very talkative, he used to be a scholar, and he was an errand boy in the palace, so he has both the politeness of a scholar and the smoothness of a eunuch, and the two characteristics are mixed together, making him get along with everyone very well.

After introducing himself, coupled with all kinds of polite but unnutritious nonsense, Tong Guinu asked: "What is the situation in this case of murdering the prince, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask others clearly, so I also ask Li Gongzi to tell me!" ”

Li Rizhi told him what happened, Tong Guinu listened to it, and exclaimed repeatedly, if he was allowed to solve this case, it is estimated that he would not be able to solve anything, not to mention that Shun Teng caught Linghu Changqing, he couldn't even catch Linghu Changxiu!

Tong Guinu said: "Alas, it's really better than people to die, and goods have to be thrown away, not only will I not solve the case, but I will also be scolded by Yushi when I go out to arrest someone!" He told him about being scolded by Yushi on the way.

Li Rizhi listened, frowned, and said: "If Manager Tong wants to crack the impeachment of that imperial history, then you might as well go back to the palace immediately, explain to Empress Wu that you did not catch Linghu Changqing, and say that because you are in a hurry, you disturbed the lives of the people in the process of arresting, and so on, when that imperial history impeaches you again, Empress Wu will think that he is troublesome!" ”

Tong Guinu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, why didn't I think of this method!" Oh, Li Gongzi, it would be nice if you knew my friend Chu Qiangzhi, you know how to be flexible better than him, he is too straightforward to do things, you can teach him well, he is now the county magistrate of Huayin County, I don't know, do you recognize him? ”

He deliberately brought the topic in this direction!
