Chapter 297: Bocheng County
Although Wang Dahao didn't say much, the meaning expressed was very obvious, that is, the county commander was a person who was very good at collecting money, but he used the emperor and queen as a guise to collect money, which was very taboo.
At this time, Chen Yingying came out of the house, and she said, "Rizhi, it's time to eat, do you want to drink some wine to relieve fatigue?" ”
Li Rizhi nodded, then turned to Wang Dahao and said, "Brother Wang, why don't you come in and eat and drink, we just came from Yanzhou, and we brought enough food, a lot of good cooked food, and the wine is also good!" ”
He looked at Wang Dahao's appearance, as if he was a person who liked to be greedy for small and cheap, and he didn't have anything to say, if he was given a few taels of wine, maybe Wang Dahao would tell him everything he knew!
Wang Dahao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he saw that Li Rizhi and others were gorgeously dressed, there were many entourages, and the luggage was pulled by a car, presumably it must be a rich man, what do rich people go out to eat, he really hasn't seen it, since people are kindly inviting now, if they refuse, wouldn't it be a shame!
"Okay, then let's eat and drink together!" Wang Dahao nodded again and again, and while entering the courtyard, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm really embarrassed, let you break the bank!" ”
"It's not a cost, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks, and it can cost a few dollars, Brother Wang, don't mind!"
There are two tables in the hall, one for the entourage, and the other Fu Guibao for them to sit around, and there are a lot of food on the table, such as wind chicken and bacon, etc., and Master Fu is very particular about eating.
Li Rizhi asked Wang Dahao to sit down, personally poured a glass of wine, persuaded to eat and drink, and had a warm attitude.
It was only a moment, Wang Dahao drank seven or eight glasses of wine, and his tongue was big when he spoke, he was a poor little person, although he occasionally drank a little wine, but it was all bad wine mixed with water, where did he drink the good wine brought by Fu Guibao, he had not even drunk it for the New Year's holiday.
Seeing that he was almost drunk, Li Rizhi asked: "Brother Wang, how much money did your county commander collect this time in order to take over the driver, and how many cows can you buy?" ”
Eating people with short mouths and short hands with people, Wang Dahao is still a very simple person, but he doesn't have the idea of playing tricks, plus he drank too much, and he didn't dare to say anything nonsense, but he dared to say it at this time.
Wang Dahao scratched his head and said: "I have collected quite a lot, and the treasury is full, and even the side rooms are full, that place is not enough, it is enough for several lifetimes!" ”
Li Rizhi frowned, but he didn't believe Wang Dahao's words, if it was a gift of jewelry, it would not be possible to fill the warehouse, if it was a general thing, in Wang Dahao's eyes, it was estimated that the painted table would be considered a good thing, so even if the warehouse was full, it would not be worth much!
Seeing Li Rizhi's expression of disbelief, Wang Dahao hurriedly said, "Childe doesn't believe my words?" I used to be in charge of the warehouse, my father was also in charge of the warehouse, I have been in charge of the warehouse for almost two generations, and my hands and feet have always been the cleanest, and there is nothing in the warehouse that can hide from me, but the county commander looks down on me, and changed his henchman to manage the warehouse, so he sent me here to fight, damn ......"
Then, Wang Dahao scolded and scolded, it seems that he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the county order of Bocheng County, after all, the little official in charge of the warehouse was sent here to fight, this is regarded as a distribution and exile, if Wang Dahao has no idea in his heart, it is abnormal.
However, no matter how Wang Dahao scolded and scolded, and no matter how Li Rizhi asked, he couldn't tell what kind of things were piled up in the warehouse, presumably he hadn't really seen it, it should have been sent out before the county order began to collect money, and he just heard some rumors about the warehouse.
Seeing that Wang Dahao was drunk, he asked someone to send him back to rest, he was tired from the journey, and after eating, he also went into the house to rest, and slept until dawn.
After eating dry food the next morning, Li Rizhi and the others said goodbye to Wang Dahao and prepared to go to Bocheng County, which is almost twenty miles away from the county seat, which is exactly what the carriage and horse can walk in half a day, and it will not be very tired, so it is obvious that the county order of Bocheng County to build a new village here is through careful planning.
Wang Dahao watched Li Rizhi and the others leave, and suddenly felt that he had eaten and taken, and he couldn't help it, so he shouted: "Although the son is in a hurry, the road is too peaceful now, there were not many horses here before, and recently there is no one, and it is very safe!" ”
Li Rizhi immediately turned around and smiled: "Recently, how close is it?" ”
Wang Dahao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Rizhi to ask such a question, after thinking about it, he shouted: "Since the county commander took office, I haven't seen Xiangma again!" ”
After all, even Wang Dahao felt strange, could it be that the county magistrate was a very deterrent person, but he had never seen him suppress bandits, and he didn't care too much about public security, otherwise such a big new village, how could he only send himself to fight alone, except for lighting lanterns every day, there was no work to do!
Hey, why do you light lanterns every day, why do you need to spend more candles!
Wang Dahao scratched his head, if he didn't understand, then go back and think about it, he was idle anyway!
Li Rizhi walked on the road, and began to analyze in his heart, if according to Wang Dahao's statement, then the current county order of Bocheng County is definitely not a good official, in today's Tang Dynasty officialdom, it can almost be regarded as a corrupt official with no lower limit, normal officials will hardly receive benefits so blatantly, and even in the name of the emperor and empress, this is simply fatal, he has never seen such a crazy official, and he has never even heard of it.
If the county order of Bocheng County didn't want to resign after getting this vote, then he would definitely not be like this, and as far as he knows, this county order is a good time to be in the prime of life, how can he think of making money and running, the world is so big, even if he runs, where else can he run?
Therefore, there is a lot of water in Wang Dahao's words, and it is even very likely to be framed, after all, Wang Dahao lost a good errand and hated it in his heart, which made it impossible for him to say bad things about the county order!
Li Rizhi remembered Zhen Mengde, the assassin of Yanzhou, who was particularly able to pretend to be confused, once said that Li Rizhi should be careful of the Bocheng county order, and Zhen Mengde himself seemed to be a robber, so it can be refuted that the county order of Bocheng County should be a good official.
However, in fact, this may not be the case, and the counter-evidence method is not very easy to use at this time, according to the various information obtained, as far as Li Rizhi now thinks, neither the assassin nor the county order seem to be good officials, and as for whether they are good people, it is even more certain.
Thinking on the road, it was not yet noon, and the group arrived outside Bocheng County, and the road was really safe, not to mention meeting Xiangma, even stray dogs did not see one!
The road leading to Bocheng County is smooth, and the city wall of the county town is even more tall and majestic, it is no longer like the city wall of the ordinary county town, it is almost the same as the city wall of the state city, the city bricks are new, and the paint on the city gate can be seen, it seems that they have just been repaired!
