Chapter 17: Nepotism

Even when the Tang Dynasty is now entering the reform, all localities are now cooperating, but the emperor is far away, and since the holy decree has come down, it must be carried out at the pace of the imperial court, but some things are still handled according to their own set, especially the officials of various government departments, who are basically placed in their own people.

"Wang Laoshi's family!" Chen Kai's face was pale, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Wang Laoshi, that Wang Laoshi?" Zhou Chang asked.

"What do you say, Wang Yan'er, you always know, it's the stubborn dead girl's family."

Zhou Chang's face changed, Wang Yan'er of course he knew, it was the honest daughter of the king of Dongcheng Silk Village, he happened to pass by the silk village for three months, and he took a fancy to her at a glance, but the dead girl toasted and didn't eat and drink, and she didn't agree, and finally she used a strong talent to receive people in the backyard, but she didn't expect that there was a conflict at that time, and she didn't pay attention to beating Wang Laoshi to death, and the dead girl was tired of playing and rewarded the people below.

"Where are they, Your Majesty?"

"Who knows this, but it should be about to arrive in Daizhou."

Zhou Chang trembled all over, and said: "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and escort that grandson's family to the official, and gather all the people to go to meet you." ”

"It's been arranged, as soon as they appeared, they arranged for someone, but I don't know where Your Majesty is now, if Your Majesty sees it, what can I do?"

"Get out, why don't you hurry up and go to the city gate to meet you."

After more than ten minutes of fast horses, I don't know how many people I bumped into on the road, Zhou Chang led a large group of officials from Daizhou to the gate of Daizhou.

"Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou." Chen Xiangqian, the director of the Daizhou Public Security Bureau, hurriedly ran over and shouted in a low voice.

"Forward, has Your Majesty come? Wang Laoshi and their family? Zhou Chang stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and asked.

"I've been escorted, you can rest assured."

Zhou Chang exhaled deeply and said, "That's good, that's good, you must be careful, don't let them come out, and arrange some brothers to keep an eye on Your Majesty's side these days to prevent others from approaching." ”

"I know, you can rest assured, you will definitely not let others get close to Your Majesty."

"Daiju has arrived." Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

Li Shen pushed the car door, looked at the vicissitudes of the city, nodded slightly, and said, "There are really a lot of people, and it seems that the officials of Daizhou are here." ”

"Speaking of this acting state official, there is no good thing." Wu Meiniang said with a sneer.

"Oh! Is it? Last year's year-end assessment, this Daizhou is not bad! ”

"It's just fooling people, and Daishu can be said to be basically the mayor's person, turning the entire Daishu into their own industry."

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before? What are such people still doing in officialdom, not to harm the people. ”

"Do you know who the mayor of Daishu is?"

"It won't have anything to do with me!" Li Shen asked with some uncertainty.

"What do you say, the mayor of Daizhou has something to do with your uncle's family, otherwise you think that the concubine will let them go, speaking of which, the mayor of Daizhou is still a generation older than you."

"Uncle's family?"

"Well, his wife is the youngest daughter of Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, but she is just a concubine, but she is more favored by Gao Shilian."

"Even if it's your own family, you always have to do it according to the rules, if you make a mess of the place, how can you tolerate him, you should have done this a long time ago, don't worry about my face."

Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "Do you think that the concubine doesn't want to, do you know why this Mrs. Zhou Chang is liked by Gao Shilian?" It's not because Poe likes your grandmother, or you feel like a concubine. ”

Li Shen frowned slightly when he heard this, Yang Dingtian is still in good health now, since he met him, he asked the doctor of the Tai Hospital to check his body every day, even his grandmother Gao Wan'er is still alive and well, even if she is now in her seventies, according to the bodies of the two of them, it will not be a problem to live for at least seven or eight years.

Li Shen smiled and said: "This is really not easy to do, no matter how you say it, you have to give the old immortal a little face, otherwise he will make a fuss, and I won't be able to bear it." Then he said: "How is this Zhou Chang?" ”

"There are no big mistakes, but small mistakes continue, which makes the people of Daizhou also have some complaints and suffering."

"If it doesn't work, let me go to Chang'an City, even if he is making trouble, he doesn't have the courage to make trouble in Chang'an City, you pay attention to it in the future, but all the people who have a relationship will be pulled to Chang'an City, and you can give a vacant position, so that the people will not be tossed by these people."

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will do what you do in the future, get out of the car, how to say that he is also an old immortal, for the sake of his old man's face, I also want to see him, and when I go back, the concubine will dispose of him." ”

Li Shen glared at her and said, "Even if I say this, you can only say, if you let the old immortal hear it, what will you do when the time comes?" ”

"Minister Zhou Chang and the officials of Daizhou, see Your Majesty." Zhou Chang watched Li Shen get down from the carriage, knelt on the ground with a slight trembling and shouted loudly, although he was a relative, he also knew about Yang Dingtian's affairs, but in the face of Li Shen's unsympathetic face, he was really a little careless, who knows if he would be dealt with at that time.

Li Shen nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Chang with a fat and oily face in front of him, frowned slightly, looked like an incompetent person, and estimated that he would only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and said lightly: "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Zhou Chang got up from the ground, patted the dust on his knees, smiled flatteringly, and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect you to come to Daizhou, Weichen has already prepared wine and food......

"Okay, no need, I'm just going to wander around."

"Your Majesty, that..." Seeing Li Shen turn around and board the carriage, Zhou Chang was stunned and couldn't speak, although he was a little stupid, he could obviously feel Li Shen's disgust for him.

After boarding the carriage, Li Shen sat down, exhaled, and said helplessly: "I knew that I shouldn't have published my photo in the newspaper in the first place, but now it's good, just go out, others can recognize it at a glance, and you can't do it if you want to have a private interview!" Alas! It's really boring and hungry, I wanted to go out and check those corrupt officials, but now it's good, I can't do anything at all. ”
