With the example of the old master, the officials who belonged to the case all looked at Li Buqi with a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts. But it is actually very dangerous for subordinates to be afraid of superiors, and Li Buqi knows this truth very well. If you want to be safe, you must hit a batch and pull a batch. After killing the chickens, you have to give the monkeys some hope.

He sat down at the table and asked the officials to come in and pat the papers in their hands and say, "These papers are good and bad, but I am better than I expected." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a blank scroll and showed it to everyone: "There is only one person like Zeng who doesn't understand anything, and everyone else can answer more or less." This shows that everyone is careful in doing errands on weekdays. ”

At this time, everyone understood why Li Buqi killed the old chief monkey without hesitation, it turned out that he was not a cadre with a judge. Li Buqi's meaning is obvious, it doesn't matter how many answers you answer, your attitude is the most important thing. Whatever the purpose, the former chief showed an uncooperative attitude towards the new chief, and it was sure to pay a price.

Seeing the wonderful expressions on everyone's faces, Li Buqi continued: "Everyone didn't care about these things in my test before, I think it may be that no one has a clear request, and this mistake should not be in everyone." "It's all an old fox who has been in the yamen for so many years, obedient and listening, these officials immediately understood that they would not exhaustively study the results of the exam, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

But Li Bu gave up the next sentence and made them prickle their ears again: "But Your Majesty is always worried about the production of weapons, and is always worried that it is not sufficient and unsuitable. The past is gone, but it can't be like that forever. Everyone is not from Jinshi, but also from Enyin, they are all smart, since they don't understand, they can learn. Give everyone a month to learn everything you don't understand, and we'll take the test again in a month. If there is still someone who doesn't understand anything at that time, then the official can only think that he is either not a good brain, or he doesn't want to do this errand. Do you have any comments? ”

One of the principals cautiously asked: "Judge Li, the lower officials want to ask, everyone has gone to learn these things, who will do the errands?" ”

Li Buqi said: "Can't you do anything when you learn your own job? And these people can be exempted from the exam, if anyone feels powerless, you can let them take the burden first. After speaking, he read more than a dozen names, most of them were public officials, and only one was the principal.

While reading, he also showed the papers of these people to everyone, and sure enough, they were all answered clearly. Now the crowd had nothing to say.

Li Buqi finally said: "This official has just taken office, and some things still need to be personally understood before the specific matters of the case are decided. If there is any change, I will inform you. ”

The officials were about to retire, but Li Buqi said again: "Cheng Duguan, please stay." I saw that you know a lot about the case, so you can help me check the documents and materials first. ”

A public official in his forties with a bronze face hurriedly stepped out: "Obey." ”

After everyone dispersed, Li Buqi walked into the main hall and asked Cheng Jun to sit down, but Cheng Jun didn't even dare to say it. Li Buqi said: "On the first day I took office, I still didn't know much about the case, and I still need Cheng Duguan to tell me the details of the case, and I'm afraid the time will not be short." You can't let me keep my neck up, can you? ”

Cheng Jun couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and said in his heart: "Looking at your question, you know that you have found out the bottom of the case, but now you want me to introduce the situation to you?" ”

However, Li Buqi was a Shangguan, so he had to sit down. When the errand servant came to tea, Li Buqi said: "The errand of the case is to be in charge of repairing the river canal, giving the famous things for the manufacture of weapons, and the materials for the affairs of the armory workshop and the bow and crossbow courtyard. This canal has its own law, and it can be put aside a little. However, the officials have always been dissatisfied with the ordnance manufacturing office, but they need to rectify it first. I've heard people say that the armament manufacturing has always been managed by Duguan, so I want to hear what it means to be in charge first, what problems are there in this area now, and how to change it. ”

Hearing that Li Buqi was asking for a plan from himself, Cheng Jun was a little relieved. Li Buqi's reputation is like thunder, and he knows very well that he can't perfunctory Li Buqi like he used to fool those civil officials. But he didn't understand what Li Buqi wanted, and he was jealous in his heart, so he only picked up some obvious problems and said, such as the difficulty of craftsmen, the chaos of dispatching workers, etc., and made a few suggestions that were quite to the point and stopped.

Li Buqi nodded and said: "Cheng Duguan is not a loss from a craftsman's family, and his understanding of the weapons workshop is really not comparable to ordinary people. In the future, we will have to rely on a lot of things in the manufacture of weapons. ”

Cheng Jun hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but he felt in his heart that no civil official could be so humble to a small official like him in the position of judge. But after Li Buqi said this, he looked at the door, and saw that the servant and the servant were outside the door, so he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm not polite to Duguan." I've always heard people say that it's a talent, so I naturally can't let you bury it. It's just that I heard that Du Guan used to do some business, so I advised Du Guan not to do it in the future, so as not to make it clear to the melon field and Li Xia. ”

Cold sweat immediately came out of the pores around Cheng Jun's body, and he couldn't help but guess that he and the officials had falsely reported the accounts, and the matter of pouring copper and iron and other materials from the workshop might have made Li Buqi know. But judging from Li Buqi's tone, it seems that Li Buqi is not ready to track down the past.

Feeling that the accounts were settled, Li Buqi might not be able to grasp the evidence, Cheng Jun gritted his teeth and made up his mind to touch Li Buqi's true attitude. Let's see if Li Buqi is really not ready to pursue what he said, or just to paralyze his own people. As for Li Buqi's idea of wanting to take advantage of them, he didn't dare to have it. Although they get a lot of money every year, a rich man like Li Buqi definitely doesn't look down on it.

Cheng Jun hurriedly stood up after making up his mind: "Li Judge Mingjian." Although there are some bad rules, it is inevitable that they will be hungry and cold, so most of them have to do some other business to subsidize their families. Since there is a suspicion of melon fields and plums, I will let them stop. I don't know what rumors Li Juan heard? ”

Li Buqi came prepared, and he had already inquired about many inside stories of the ordnance workshop. This Cheng Duguan and a small official, he knows exactly how the master craftsman makes money from the workshop, and even Yang Shilang, the next family who sold the stolen goods, has found out. It's just that he's not prepared to pursue the matter.

Li Buqi is not Bao Zheng, what does the previous incident have to do with him? And with the handle of these guys, Li didn't give up and let them go east, so they didn't dare to go west.

Moreover, the craftsmen in the workshop all said that this Cheng Jun was good, and that the operation of the workshop was inseparable from this person. People who can do this level must have a level, and if they can accept it, it will save a lot of money.

Seeing that Cheng Jun was still tempting, Li Buqi said: "This official knows that it is not easy for you officials to live without taking advantage of the country, so the official does not want to investigate the past affairs. But this official is in charge of the case, and the incident of fine iron flowing out of Yangliu Lane in the north of the city is not allowed to happen again. Of course, if you work hard, the official will naturally find a way to get you the reward you deserve. ”

Li Buqi pointed out Cheng Jun and their next family who sold the stolen goods, and Cheng Jun didn't dare to take any chances. Li Buqi promised to consider their income, Cheng Jun hurriedly bowed down and said very sincerely: "Don't worry, Li Juan, I will definitely do a good job in this matter." ”

Li Buqi said, "Okay, you go and do this first." Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to look around, and then take stock of the warehouses. ”

After Cheng Jun withdrew, Li Buqi asked the little official to take various articles of association and documents of the three divisions and read them. In the afternoon, a few officials either came to ask for instructions or to pass documents, and they all carefully explained the cause and effect clearly, for fear that Li Buqi would not be satisfied. From this point of view, Li Buqi has initially established his authority through the method of beating and pulling, at least there should not be many people who dare to challenge him openly on the territory of the case. Of course, it is difficult to say whether there will be people in secret, but Li Buqi believes that he will soon put these people in their positions.
