As soon as Zhang Li saw that Ambassador Ku's room was not sitting in Ambassador Sun's room, but Vice Envoy Liu, he knew that today's affairs were not easy to handle, but since people came, they would not come in and go out. So he snorted: "Ambassador Liu is on an errand today!" What about Ambassador Sun? ”

Nine times out of ten, those who come to the ambassador of the treasury will come to receive the money. Originally, Zhang Liwen couldn't fight with the matter of receiving silver, and Deputy Envoy Liu also said that he couldn't hold Zhang Liwen in his life, but he didn't expect Zhang Liwen to come uninvited today. Looking at Li Feibai standing next to him, Deputy Envoy Liu pondered that it should be sent by the government or the county to receive the silver, and said secretly: "The mountains do not turn and the water turns, and the mountains and rivers meet." Boy, if you come alone today, maybe I'll let the money go. But you shouldn't ask for the surname Zhang's head, I don't make it difficult for you for three days and five days, I write Liu upside down. ”

He glanced at Zhang Li again, and said in his heart: "Do you think that if you give me the deputy envoy, our Liangzi will be finished!" He said: "Ambassador Sun has taken sick leave, and I will temporarily act as the ambassador for the next few days. He was fine, just sitting behind the desk reading the newspaper. At this time, he threw the newspaper aside, got up and took out a thick stack of tents from the shelf, took a copy and looked at it.

Zhang Li asked and smiled: "I have a year when I was a county magistrate in Jiyuan. I recently got a sum of silver, and I sent someone to pick it up today, and I asked Ambassador Liu to make it convenient and do it! After a pause, he said, "Our brothers haven't been together for a long time, and I have a treat at night, and you and I won't get drunk." ”

Deputy Envoy Liu said secretly: "Why don't you invite guests if you mess up my business?" Oh, today you have a request for me, you have to invite my guests, and if you don't get drunk with me, am I the one who drinks cheaply? He said, "Lord Liwen came over for a trip in person, and it stands to reason that I should hurry up and do what you have to do!" But look," he pointed to the account book on the table, "it's about to be in the middle of the year, and I have to put the accounts on the same pair, this is my own errand, and if I mess it up, I will smash the guy who eats, and I can't get out of it." Please also ask your forgiveness, do you want me to finish the account and then do the things you have to explain? Don't worry, I absolutely want to give your face, and the first thing I do after I finish the account is to handle the things you have to explain! ”

Zhang Liwen's face couldn't help sinking, and he said in his heart: "I, a seven-rank official, is a verbal ambassador and a smile to you, and I have given you enough face." But you, don't be ashamed, then don't blame me for being unkind! Said: "Ambassador Liu, I kindly remind you that the money in Jiyuan is used to repair the Jidu Temple and receive the Lord of the Governor to ask for rain next year, and it has been reviewed by the political envoy and asked by the Lord of the Governor, I advise you to do it quickly, don't delay the affairs of the Lord of the Governor's Mansion, and then you will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Deputy Envoy Liu, as the deputy envoy of the library, knew about this matter. But he also knew that the delay in the payment of the silver in February and March would not delay the matter, and according to the process, it was not a dereliction of duty to pay the silver in place within a month. He did it quickly, and it was not considered meritorious. He delayed it for a few days, and it was not a mistake. Hearing Zhang Liwen's words, he was furious, this was a threat and warning, and said, "What does Lord Li Wen mean by this? Does it mean that Liu's corpse is a vegetarian meal, or does it imply that Liu deliberately made things difficult? Which of the sums of money paid by the Envoy was not examined by the Envoy and asked by the Minister? Much larger than this amount, and much more important, have not yet been done, so why do this first! Other people's business is not a thing, just your Lord Zhang's business! Why do I have to put down all my errands and hurry up to do your business as soon as you Lord Zhang comes! This is the place where the library envoy runs errands, not the place where you Lord Zhang runs errands, I advise Lord Zhang to hurry up and do your errands, don't delay me to deal with official business here! In order not to deal with official affairs in a timely manner, the top will punish me, and I will pull Zhang to give me a back! ”

Zhang Liwen was so angry that his face turned blue and red for a while, and seeing that Deputy Envoy Liu looked down at the account books and was obviously unwilling to take care of himself anymore, he had to say to Li Feibai: "Let's go first!" ”

Li Feibai nodded and said with a smile: "Ambassador Liu, I don't know when we can handle our affairs?" ”

Deputy Envoy Liu didn't raise his head, and said: "After checking the account books in one day and two days, I will deal with your affairs in one day and two days, and after finishing the account books in ten days and half a month, I will deal with your affairs in ten days and a half months!" ”

Li Feibai was most annoyed by this kind of yamen style that deliberately made things difficult with a little power, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so they had to ask Zhang Li out of the house, and gave Yang Zhen who was waiting on the side a look, and asked him to try again in a while if he could do the errand, if he really couldn't, then wait and do it. Anyway, last night he took an inventory, and his little money was enough for Naf, and if he wanted to make the business bigger, he really had to pull a few investments in Kaifeng. And this also takes time, so stay a few more days, is it possible that Deputy Envoy Liu can still do it for him?

The two of them walked far away from the row of houses, Zhang Liwen sighed, and said, "Brother Li, you are implicated by me this time!" Then he told him about his grievances with Deputy Envoy Liu. Only then did Li Feibai know that there was still such a grievance in the middle, and his anger had subsided a little, but he was still angry with Deputy Envoy Liu. After all, a private grievance is a private grievance, and a public affair is a public affair, and you can't make no distinction between public and private! Seeing that Zhang Liwen's face was guilty, he said: "This is his fault, I can't complain about Lord Zhang." Changing the subject, he said, "I don't know where the Ordnance Bureau of the Political Envoy Department is?" ”

Zhang Liwen also said that Zhao Xuefei wanted to buy some firearms for Jiyuan's inspection department, but he didn't know that Li Feibai wanted to go to the Ordnance Bureau to see the process of making firearms, and said: "I have a good personal relationship with the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, and I will call him tonight, the three of us will drink, and we will talk about what firearms we need at that time." ”

Li Feibai knew that Zhang Liwen had misunderstood, and after a little silence, he knew that such a dangerous business of the Ordnance Bureau must not be in the yamen of the Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, otherwise Zhang Liwen would definitely have taken him there, so why bother to make an appointment with the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau tonight. He was about to say, "No need, I'll go to the Armory Bureau to find him in a while." Suddenly, Zhang Liwen's face changed, and he didn't dare to take a breath when he stood there.

He followed Zhang Liwen's eyes, and saw Zhang Xianqing leading a few officials of the fourth and fifth grades towards this side, talking in a low voice as he walked!

Zhang Xianqing also saw the two of them, first stunned and then happy, walked over to this side, and said, "Feibai little nephew, why are you here?" ”

One sentence shocked the officials and Zhang Liwen who accompanied him.

Which of these people doesn't know that Zhang Xianqing is a black bread man, he has never smiled, no one has ever seen Zhang Xianqing smile at anyone, but at this time he smiled at Li Feibai, so what is Li Feibai's origin! And Zhang Xianqing also called Li Feibai his little nephew, so he is a son of an official eunuch, why has he never seen it! It seems that you should inquire carefully in private for a while and make good friends.

Zhang Liwen thought that he was arrested by Zhang Xianqing, and he did not do anything in the house during his duty, but he led an outsider to wander around at will, and he would definitely be scolded by Zhang Xianqing. But he never dreamed that Li Feibai knew Zhang Xianqing, and his personal relationship seemed to be good! He seems to have understood why Zhao Xuefei hired Li Feibai as his friend, as long as he got through Zhang Xianqing's relationship, wouldn't Zhao Xuefei's ambition be realized!
