Chapter 195: Li Yong

(Yesterday, the background had a convulsion.,I repeated the update of the same chapter of the four chapters at once.,After I deleted it, it showed that the number of words updated that day was negative.,Hey,It's really speechless.。 This month's full attendance is a few hundred yuan. I'm also serving the background system of Zongheng. In pain. )

The early morning sun shone in the courtyard of the Yahou Hall of Beihai County, and Li Yong, the Taishou of Beihai, was wearing a wide robe and holding a long sword in the courtyard and slowly danced in the courtyard. This is a habit he has cultivated for decades, although he is nearly seventy years old now, and his swordsmanship is mediocre, and he can't even use it to fight people, but Li Yong insists on this feeling of smelling chickens and dancing.

Li Yong's fame is very great, among the celebrities of the Tang Dynasty, he is the best in the first echelon, poetry and writing, his calligraphy attainments are famous all over the world, and many people are vying to ask for his calligraphy collection. He is very good at working and walking, and he is especially famous for his calligraphy, which is elegant and chic.

People say words are like their people, there is indeed a reason, and Li Yong's personality is also as rumored by the outside world to have frustrations and unprovoked ups and downs, which makes people both confused and have to admire his chic and uninhibited. Li Yong's three hobbies on weekdays are drinking, hunting, and making friends. Since he came to Beihai County as a taishou, Li Yong has been busy with these three things for 365 days a year, and he has ignored all the government affairs of Beihai County.

Fortunately, the officials under the Beihai County Ya are all dedicated, but they also manage Beihai County in an orderly manner and there are no mistakes.

Ordinary people will be criticized if they do this, but Li Beihai is called a celebrity and gentleman by doing this, and few people blame him for being so negligent in government affairs. Li Yong also enjoys the life of this kind of celebrity, and even sometimes deliberately does something in order to maintain his style of doing things to maintain his image.

Take making friends as an example, Li Yong once compared himself to the Han Dynasty when he was drunk, and said that he was both capable and courteous. But because of his fame, in order to maintain his image of loving to call friends, Li Yong also had to force himself to make friends with all kinds of people, saying that he lived up to Jia Yixin's name as Lingjun.

People who don't understand will naturally praise and pat on the back, and really smart people can see the clues, for example, Li Baiyun, who left the capital in three years of Tianbao, traveled here, Li Yong naturally received him hobbyly, and summoned a large group of friends to invite Li Bai to drink and chat and play in the mountains and rivers. The smart big fat man Li Bai saw Li Yong's heart clearly in a few days, and saw that Li Yong was not as polite and virtuous as the outside world said, and even wrote a poem to Li Yong to express his views when he left.

The poem says:

Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles.

If the wind stops, it can still be dusted but the water is clear.

When people saw me Hengshu, they all sneered when they heard Yu Dayan.

Xuan's father can still be afraid of the next generation, and her husband is not young.

Li Bai is a smart person, and it can be seen that Li Yong actually looks down on these young people in his bones, and with Li Bai's temper, he naturally pointed it out directly and didn't give Li Yong any face.

I don't know what Li Yong thinks in his heart, but from his still behavior, he knows that he doesn't care about Li Bai's admonition at all. He is a conceited person, although Li Bai's poems are famous all over the world, Li Yongke has never looked up to him, this is Li Yong's self-confidence.

These things are actually some small troubles for Li Yong, and Li Yong's real biggest troubles come from his financial problems. The three things he liked to eat, ride, hunt, and make friends were the three things that cost him the most money. Although he is a county guard, he only has more than ten yuan per month, plus subsidies for cars, housing, food, horses, hired servants, charcoal salaries, etc., and he gets less than 20 yuan per month.

Twenty guan is naturally a large amount in the eyes of ordinary people, and if you say twenty guan, two guan money can also make a family of seven full for a month without starvation. If Li Yong only used it for his own family, it would be a well-off life, and it would be very nourishing.

It's a pity that Li Yong wants to live the life of a celebrity, he wants to feast and drink, he wants to ride a horse and hunt in front of him, he wants to associate with the vast number of celebrities, and he has to contract all the expenses. In this way, his expenses will be like flowing water, and there will be no end.

Of course, Li Yong's own fame still makes some money by selling some poetry and calligraphy, but the market demand is limited after all, and not all people like Li Yong's calligraphy, especially in the circle of celebrities and scholars, there are some criticisms of his unrigorous writing style. And even if you like Li Yong's characters, it is enough to collect one pair, and it is impossible to buy thirty or fifty pairs at home.

Therefore, Li Yong's financial problems have become the most troublesome problem for him. However, Li Yong refused to admit that he had no money, and all the expenses when he socialized with people and feasted were all large, and he was still the same in order to maintain his image, resulting in his money not enough at all, and he often fell into an embarrassing situation.

If others encounter such a thing, they will naturally reflect on austerity spending, but Li Yong will not do this, he chooses another way to take risks, that is, embezzlement of public money. In addition to the money that cannot be moved at all, the rest of the money allocated by the Taishou has become a lifeline for Li Yong when he is in an emergency.

Li Yong didn't kick the money into his pocket, that would be embezzling public funds, and Li Yong didn't bother to do so. He just embezzled public money, and then made up for it, next month to make up for the last month, and the east wall to make up for the west wall, so that it was like borrowing money, it was not difficult to borrow well and borrow again, Li Yong himself also felt a little comforted psychologically, and always thought that he had not crossed the bottom line, but just borrowed.

However, embezzlement of public money is a major crime in Tang Law, Li Yong thinks it is not, but this is not Li Yong's will to transfer. If Li Yong knew that someone was eyeing him early, he would have regretted his financial mess and ruined his reputation.

After the sword dance, after washing up and having breakfast, Li Yong Shi Ran came to the front office, yesterday he went to Yanming Lake to ride a horse and shoot geese, and his body was very tired at the end of the day, after all, he was not forgiving, so he was ready to rest for a day today and no longer go out to toss, and he did not ask about government affairs for nearly a month, and he should care about the government affairs in Beihai County under his jurisdiction.

When they arrived at the former government office, the county magistrate Shi Sima joined the army and greeted him in the column, and the only thing he didn't see was to drive Liu Ji. Li Yong asked, "Didn't Liu Beijia come to the Yamen?" ”

Sima Zhaojian replied: "The day before yesterday, Don't drive to send a letter of leave, saying that he was unwell and took two days off, and he has not seen him since. ”

Li Yong nodded and said, "Don't be sick, didn't you send someone to visit?" ”

Changshi Liu Chenggong said: "My subordinates sent someone to greet him, but Liu Beijia was not at home, and the servants at his family said that he had not seen Beijia come back, and he had not seen anyone for two days." ”

Li Yong's brows furrowed, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. I sold the prince a favor to let this Liu Ji come to Beihai as a don't drive, but this Liu Ji is becoming more and more unpleasant, someone has long told me that Liu Ji has done some things in Beihai, fought with some businessmen, and accepted their gifts, and made some words. Li Yong was very dissatisfied with this, he thought that befriending the merchants and accepting their gifts was simply an insult to himself, and if he was willing to do this, he would have already gained many benefits. But that would be a stain on one's own morality.

Although this Liu Ji is not a literati, after all, he got Beihai County by himself, and he has not been seen for two days, so he must have gone to eat, drink, and have been corrupted and degraded with those businessmen. Li Yong secretly made up his mind to reprimand Liu Ji when he saw him. Even if he is a brother-in-law of the crown prince, he can't care about this face without stopping it.

"Liu don't drive...... Yesterday I came to the Yamen. One of them suddenly spoke up.

Everyone followed the sound and looked, and it was Jiang Qing who was Si Cang joining the army who spoke.

"Yesterday? Why didn't we see each other? Sima Zhao Jian and Changshi Liu Chenggong were surprised.

Jiang Qing said: "He returned to the yamen at the end of the afternoon, and Zhao Sima and Liu Changshi were no longer in the yamen at that time. Ryubetsu ordered his subordinates to load all Kuraji's account books into the carriage and hand them over to him to take away. ”

"Ledger?" And they all asked, "What does he want these ledgers to do?" ”

"This ...... The subordinates didn't have anything to ask, he was a superior, and it was within his power and responsibility to check the accounts by looking at the account books. ”

"Don't drive to check the accounts, you can check in the yamen, and checking the warehouse account books requires Li Taishou's consent, this Taishou has said a long time ago, don't you know as a warehouse secretary? Besides, taking the ledger back and checking it is also against the rules, and you don't stop it. Zhao Jian frowned.

"This ......" Jiang Qing was speechless, why didn't he stop it, but Liu Bei almost hit him in the mouth with his eyebrows and glaring, he didn't take this matter seriously, he thought so much about it.

Li Yong's face was gloomy and he waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, prepare the horse, I'll go to his house to ask him in person." ”

The messengers were busy preparing the horses, Li Yong walked out of the yamen with a gloomy face without saying a word, and quickly rushed to Liu Ji's residence in Nancheng with a dozen or so messengers. Riding on a horse, Li Yong was extremely angry in his heart, accounts are Li Yong's most sensitive thing, he has long withdrawn the power of all his subordinate officials to check the accounts, Liu Ji also knows it, but he still does it secretly from himself, which is obviously extraordinary.

"Liu Ji, Liu Ji, what are you going to do?"
