Li Rizhi called Governor Shi of Yanzhou and told Governor Shi that he wrote a letter to Xu Jingzong and Xu Xiang of Zhongshu Province a few days ago, recommending him to become the assassin of Yanzhou.

Of course, this is Li Rizhi talking nonsense, but it doesn't matter, as long as it can be believed, Governor Yanzhou can be regarded as an old fritter in officialdom, how to be an official, he has a lot of experience, but if you want to talk about the ability to do things, it is so-so, anyway, his ability to shake the pot must be higher than the ability to do things.

Governor Shi of Yanzhou listened to Li Rizhi's words, and immediately said: "Although Yanzhou is far away from Chang'an, it is also an important place, especially the position of Assassin Shi, which must not be sloppy!" ”

Li Rizhi raised his eyebrows, squinted at Yanzhou Governor Shi, you don't know how to be ashamed of this, if the position of Assassin Shi is really so important, can you push Zhen Mengde up?

You can push a waste up, and then the court approves it, which means that the court doesn't pay much attention to this place at all, so don't sell melons and boast anymore.

Yanzhou Governor Shi continued to blow without blushing, and he said: "Such an important position, let this official do it, this official is really afraid that he can't bear this heavy burden, so this official wants to ask the Inspector, if this official takes over the position of Yanzhou Assassin Shi now, then after the end of the Zen ceremony, where can this official be sent to be an official?" ”

As soon as Li Rizhi heard this, he was immediately happy, it seems that this is a person who understands, and when it comes to building projects, this Yanzhou Governor Shi may not be a good official, but when it comes to these twists and turns in the officialdom, he is really an understanding person, but unfortunately why didn't he see it at the beginning, Zhen Mengde is a ringing horse leader, so he simply didn't think about it!

Li Rizhi said: "Okay, since Lord Changshi is a person who understands, then let's not say foolish words to people who understand, this official asks you, now there is a rumor in Chang'an, thinking that Empress Wu is interfering in politics, rumors are flying all over the sky, all kinds of rumors, and now the official asks Lord Changshi, what do you think of this matter?" ”

When Governor Yan heard this, he was stunned again, this is too straightforward, and his usual favorite is twisting and turning, all kinds of hints and speculations, which is in line with his usual temperament as an official, but now Li Rizhi actually said it so bluntly, it really made him a little uncomfortable.

But Governor Yan's reaction was also extremely fast, he was just stunned, and then said: "This official thinks that rumors are rumors, and they are not credible at all, and this official even thinks that even if it is true, what can it do?"

The emperor is the son of heaven, and the current queen is husband and wife, husband and wife are one, what can the queen mother do for the emperor? What does it matter to others? What do you want others to say nonsense?

If anyone dares to say this kind of rumor in front of the official, then the boss of the official will shave him and never spare him! ”

Li Rizhi didn't bother to talk to such an old bureaucrat much, his mouth was full of lies, and none of them were true.

He said: "Since Lord Changshi has this thought, it is better to write it down, write it in black and white, and then press the handprint, and then hand it over to Xu Xiang by the official, what do you think?" ”

Governor Yan Shi took a breath of cold air, and said verbally that it doesn't matter, no matter how you say it, as long as you don't admit it afterwards, but once it falls on the pen and paper, it is a handle in the hands of others.

Seeing that Governor Yan Shi hesitated, Li Rizhi said again: "Lord Changshi wants to be an official elsewhere after the Zen ceremony, this kind of trivial matter, the emperor will definitely not ask, if you want to say who can have the final say, it must be Xu Xiang who has the final say, what about today is also Xu Xiang asked me to ask, you decide what to do!" ”

Li Rizhi knew that Governor Yan would definitely give in, and he would definitely write this so-called guarantee, Li Rizhi was dissatisfied with Xu Jingzong's ruthlessness, and he also despised the brazenness of Governor Yan in front of him.

Let Xu Jingzong and Yanzhou Governor Shi, the two stinky fish and rotten shrimp, mix together, he is really too lazy to deal with this kind of bureaucrat who can only retreat.

Sure enough, the expressions on Governor Yan's face changed in various ways, and it looked like he was struggling in his heart, and then he really picked up the pen and wrote the so-called guarantee, resolutely supporting Empress Wu, and after writing it, he actually bit his index finger and pressed the bloody handprint.

Li Rizhi looked at Governor Yan's face seriously, this person is so brazen and so resolute in standing in line, it seems that he has a bright future, but he is a little older, and he looks like he is in his sixties, no matter how hard he shoots the sycophants, he will not be a good official for a few years.

Li Rizhi folded the paper into his arms and said to Governor Yanshi: "Do you have any thoughts on how to deal with Zhen Mengde and Wu Bufu?" ”

After hearing this, Governor Yan Shi said that these are trivial matters, and it is enough to leave the matter to him to ensure that it is done properly.

After the two said all this, they said goodbye, and Governor Shi returned to Yanzhou with other Yanzhou officials, who could not stay in Bocheng County for too long.

Then Li Rizhi called the county magistrate of Bocheng County and said to him: "You go and call all the landlords and old fortunes in the county, I mean the landlord and the old wealth who paid the money to Wu Bufu, if you don't pay the money, you won't use it!" ”

The county man was stunned when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Lord Inspector, do you want to return the money to them?" Xia Guan thinks that this is absolutely impossible, even if you return the money to them, there is no way to make them shut up, they will still talk nonsense, and even guess nonsense, at that time, it will be troublesome! ”

Li Rizhi asked rhetorically: "Then if you don't return the money to them, do you have any other good ideas?" You can shut them up! ”

The county Cheng Tang Baoen suddenly saw sweat on his forehead, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan doesn't have any good ideas, everything is up to the orders of the supervisor!" ”

Li Rizhi snorted, and then said: "Call those people here, the official didn't say that he wanted to return the money to them, since the money has been handed over here, it must be filled into the county treasury, because their money is already dirty silver, and the official is already very merciful if they are not counted as a crime of banditry, and it is a pipe dream to return the money to them, of course, this cannot be told to them!"

You just need to tell them that this official has a way to make them face the saint, and they can also get the praise of the emperor and the queen's mother, that's it, don't say anything else! ”

Tang Baoen really can't think of any good way for Li Rizhi, but since Li Rizhi is from Chang'an, there must be a way to let those landlords and old fortunes in the county really see the emperor and the empress, right?

However, it is simply impossible for the rich men to be praised, but since the Inspector has told him so, he can only do so, and he can't make up his mind, but he can still run errands.
