Li Rizhi looked at the excited and grateful expressions of the landlords and old fortunes below, he was quite satisfied, although these landlords and old fortunes are not very authentic, they can be regarded as pitiful and hateful, but they are all aware of current affairs, and they are all cooperative, and it is worth it to try their best to save their lives.

Li Rizhi didn't say much about other things, and handed them all over to the county Cheng Tang Baoen to do, Tang Baoen was more active in doing this kind of thing than him, the inspector, and he was afraid of doing something wrong, so he could use as much strength as he could.

Of course, it's just a matter of building a road, it's not a difficult task, and basically Li Rizhi doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

In the next few days, Li Rizhi dealt with the big and small matters in Bocheng County step by step, and Chang'an also sent a messenger, and also sent a small eunuch, the messenger came on behalf of Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Officials, and the little eunuch came on behalf of Empress Wu.

The messenger's errand was very simple, that is, he went to Yanzhou and sent an official document from the Ministry to Yanzhou Governor Shi, asking him to temporarily take the post of Yanzhou Assassin, if he did a good job, then he continued to do it, if he did not do a good job, then the consequences would not necessarily be what it would be.

After that, the messenger and the little eunuch came to Bocheng County again, and the messenger gave Li Rizhi an official document, asking him to temporarily take the post of county magistrate of Bocheng County, and gave a letter, which was a private letter from Xu Jingzong to Li Rizhi.

As for the little eunuch, he did not return to Chang'an, he was sent by Empress Wu to inspect various projects in Bocheng County, if anything unexpected happened, so that he could report to Empress Wu in time, of course, it was not that Empress Wu did not trust Li Rizhi, but she really needed a henchman eunuch to stay in Bocheng County in order to observe the situation at any time.

The little eunuch's surname is Huang, in fact, it is said that he is a little eunuch, not that he is young, but that his position is relatively low, Huang Eunuch is actually in his thirties, nearly forty years old, if he does not enter the palace as a eunuch, then he should already be a grandfather at this time, in this era, people who are almost forty can claim to be old.

The messenger called Huang Gonggong Huang Eunuch, as for what Huang Gonggong's name was, it was estimated that he was a cheap name, and he didn't explain it to others, and Li Rizhi didn't ask it with interest, so as not to be embarrassed.

Gonggong Huang brought Empress Wu's message, which was nothing more than to encourage Li Rizhi to let Li Rizhi do a good job in Bocheng County, and not to let the Feng Chan ceremony have the slightest accident.

The thing that made Li Rizhi happiest was that Huang Gonggong also brought a letter from the crown prince Li Hong, Li Hong did not say anything substantive in the letter, but just asked Li Rizhi about the customs and customs of Yanzhou, and asked Li Rizhi to pay attention to his body, be careful of water and soil, and don't get sick or something, which are all common words.

Gonggong Huang and Li Rizhi sat in the flower hall, he waited patiently for Li Rizhi to finish reading the letter, and then said with a smile: "Inspector Li, let's see that you are deeply favored by the prince, and you will soar in the future, and your future is limitless, so we are here to congratulate you in advance!" ”

As he spoke, this Huang Gonggong stood up very solemnly and bowed to Li Rizhi.

Li Rizhi hurriedly got up to return the salute, and he also said with a smile: "Huang Gonggong has worked hard all the way, and this official should take care of Huang Gonggong tonight." In addition, the road is far away, Huang Gong Highway must spend a lot, this is all for the official only expenses, how can the official let Huang Gonggong break the fee, but also ask Huang Gonggong to go back to the room to rest, the official wants to prepare a small gift for Huang Gonggong to express his gratitude, and please Huang Gonggong must smile! ”

Huang Gonggong was happy when he heard this, being an official is a thousand miles for the official only for money, and the eunuch attaches more importance to money, he is very respectful to Li Rizhi, mainly in Chang'an I have heard of it, Li Rizhi is very generous, has always been generous, and rewards people are often rewarded with gold beans and silver beans, this kind of rumor has been heard a lot, he naturally hopes that Li Rizhi can reward him well, no matter what, he brought good news to Li Rizhi.

Huang Gonggong was overjoyed and went to the room prepared for him, and after entering the house, naturally a servant brought washing water and hand towels.

Huang Gonggong had just finished washing his face, and before he could wipe it clean, he heard someone outside the house say: "Huang Gonggong, the villain is the entourage of the Inspector, and he sent a little heart to Huang Gonggong." ”

Huang Gonggong thought to himself: "So fast, it seems that the rumors are true, this Inspector Li is really good at dealing with people!" ”

He hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Li Rizhi's entourage outside into the room, the entourage held a small wooden box in his hand, put the small wooden box on the table after entering the house, then bowed and saluted, poured out of the house, and closed the door after going out.

Huang Gonggong was very looking forward to it, he looked at the small wooden box on the table, and said secretly in his heart: "How many intentions are there, twenty times?" Thirty runs? It can't be forty or fifty, right? That's a lot of money! ”

Gonggong Huang's status in the palace is not high, but because he has just been appreciated by Tong Guinu, his grade will rise further, but he has been poor for a long time, and for him, dozens of hearts and minds definitely belong to a large amount of money, which can already make him very satisfied.

His hands trembled a little, Huang Gonggong opened the small wooden box, and saw that there were ten small gold ingots in the wooden box, each gold ingot seemed to be ten taels, so the gold ingot in this box was one hundred taels of gold.

A hundred taels of gold!

This is a big benefit that Huang Gonggong can't even think of!

If he only relied on the little money he got as a eunuch, then he would not get a hundred taels of gold in his life, such a large amount already made him faint.

Huang Gonggong trembled and picked up a gold ingot, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, oops, it hurts, his teeth hurt!

But a toothache is a toothache, no matter whose tooth it is, even if the tooth is strong, if you use it to bite the metal, it will still hurt, but if you look at the gold ingot, you can see that there is a clear tooth mark left on the gold.

Full of real gold, full of real gold!

Huang Gonggong's eyes became red, his breathing became heavy, and he thought to himself: "Inspector Li gave me so much gold, what does he want to do, what does he want me to say for him?"

Oh, should I give the gold back?

He gave me so much gold, he must have made me say something unspeakable, should I say it for him? If what he asked me to say was false, would I be implicated after I said it, and would I be beheaded? ”

Huang Gonggong had the heart to return the gold, but he was really reluctant, he had seen more gold, silver and jewelry in his life, but there was nothing that belonged to him, and as long as he was willing to accept the gold in front of him, then it was his own, he was reluctant, he was really reluctant!

Huang Gonggong was extremely entangled, he sat in the room, staring at the gold in the box in a daze, for more than an hour.

In the end, Huang Gonggong thought to himself: "Even if I am beheaded, then this hundred taels of gold is mine, is my life worth a hundred taels of gold?" This cheap life of mine is worth a hundred taels of gold, even ten taels of gold is not worth it!

So what am I struggling with? Accept the gold! ”
