Chapter 019: Tongue War (Part II)
With the support of a strong backstage, Li Wencai's heart was suddenly full, Gao Sheng has been planning for so long, and today is also the time for a showdown, although everyone is sitting at the same table at the moment, a harmonious scene, but there is already an undercurrent, everyone has their own thoughts.
Gao Sheng would never have imagined that the biggest official here would have an extraordinary relationship with a patrol secretary, let alone that this inspector had blackmailed a member of the imperial court, and he didn't even dare to think of this kind of thing.
About a stick of incense time, the steaming grilled fish is served on the table, the grilled fish here is destined to be extraordinary, first of all, the fish is just fished out of the river, the meat is tender and smooth, plus the unique baking, and then put into the prepared soup and simmer, the taste is naturally needless to say.
This kind of grilled fish is only available in the present world, how can there be such a way to eat in the Ming Dynasty, Cai Wenzheng tasted it carefully, couldn't help but stroke his beard and nodded, and said: "Lord Liu, come and try it, the process of this grilled fish is a little more complicated than ordinary grilled fish, and it must taste good." ”
The old guy who was sitting was Liu Sicheng, the biggest official, and no one dared to move if he didn't move the chopsticks, so Liu Sicheng didn't shirk, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat in his mouth and chewed it, everyone looked at Liu Sicheng with his eyes closed, looking like he had become an immortal, I don't know what is so special about this grilled fish, it can make the dignified three-grade member have such affection.
After half a day, Liu Sicheng finally opened his eyes, and opened his mouth to be a good word, now Li Wencai was relieved, he originally thought that this official had become extremely picky about the delicacies of the mountains and seas all day long, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Liu Sicheng reminisced and said: "This fish, ah, this fish is tender and smooth, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, plus this soup is filled with Chaotian pepper and Sichuan pepper, Baizi hides the fishy smell, and eats it in the mouth like a fire, but it makes people reluctant to stop there, this dish is really amazing." ”
Liu Sicheng's comment was quickly recorded by the entourage, and after listening to Lord Liu's comment, everyone grabbed the chopsticks and wanted to eat it quickly.
A plate of grilled fish disappeared quickly, everyone wiped the sweat beads on their foreheads with silk handkerchiefs while eating, and only the soup was left.
Li Wencai secretly applauded in his heart, this beginning is good, there are so many officials here, the reputation of grilled fish is not good, this grilled fish is Li Wencai's signature dish, spicy grilled fish, the taste is absolutely hot, at this time, Li Wencai made a look at the scholar, the scholar understood, so he cleared his throat and said: "All the diners came to cheer, the small shop is very honored, so today's grilled fish is all free, I just hope you can do a publicity, next time to patronize." ”
The scholar's words were beautiful and thoughtful, and the audience applauded thunderously, only Li Wencai's face was as black as thunder, grandma, is my grilled fish shop for charity, all for free, and a 5% discount is already Li Wencai's biggest bottom line.
The fish has also been eaten, and now it's time to talk about business, is this grilled fish restaurant Li Wencai's industry put aside first, Gao Sheng swept Li Wencai, and secretly calculated in his heart, today Ying Tian Yin is here, it is not okay not to make it clear, as the order of Chengyang County, now is the time to express his position.
"The two adults are here today mainly for the robbery, and the people of Chengyang are here, so let's make this matter clear." Gao Sheng stood up as he spoke, arched his hand to Cai Wenzheng and Liu Sicheng and said, "The two adults also know that it has been more than a month since the Chengyang robbery occurred, and I have handed over the case file to the patrol department to deal with, and Li Xunsi came here to take office when the Chengyang robbery occurred, during this time, what Li Xunsi did was to disappoint the people of Chengyang, as far as I know, since he took office, Li Xunsi has nothing to do every day, enjoying flowers, walking birds and fishing, and living a very comfortable life. ”
After Gao Sheng said this, there was a voice of complaint in the Pavilion, this inspector is too incompetent, and such a court official should have been beheaded a long time ago.
Gao Sheng smiled coldly, and then said: "The responsibility of the patrol division is to inspect the safety of the city defense and protect the property of the people. ”
Gao Sheng's words were sonorous and powerful, and his face was awe-inspiring, which made Ying Tian and Liu Sicheng turn their heads and stare at the young man beside them, Liu Sicheng looked at Li Wencai as if he was an outsider, there was no emotion on his face at all, this old thief is really cunning enough, he eats fish but doesn't speak for himself, what an old bastard.
Li Wencai was in his heart, Liu Sicheng's ancestor scolded again, and then Cai Wenzheng opened his mouth and asked Li Wencai: "Li Xunsi, do you have something to say." ”
There are too many things to say, Li Wencai has already had a countermeasure, so he said with a smile: "Lord Gao's words scared the villain's heart trembling, and I didn't know what to say for a while, but Lord Yin didn't know something, the villain has not taken care of the small one since he took office, and my patrol mansion is dilapidated, and more than a dozen government soldiers are either taken over by Lord Gao, or they will go home to farm, even if I have the heart, I can't do it, the city is so big, where are more than a dozen government soldiers, not to mention that I am just one person, and the robbery has been more than a month, The tall man and the heavy soldiers didn't catch half a hair from others, let alone me. ”
Li Wencai's words are true, Chengyang is now a county commander covering the sky with one hand, just a patrol department, just arrived, and he didn't even have a subordinate to summon him, so he solved the robbery, it was really difficult, sympathy, it was really worthy of sympathy, and the spearhead was pointed at Gao Sheng in an instant.
Gao Shengqi's teeth are itchy, I really underestimated this hairy boy, I didn't expect this product to be so sharp and clever and sophistry.
Bu Wencai continued unhurriedly: "Everyone heard what Lord Gao said just now, Lord Gao knows my whereabouts well, and even I know clearly about flower viewing and fishing, it seems that Lord Gao has put his mind on me, and just now Lord Gao also bewitched everyone to say that the fish restaurant is my property, I don't know what the Lord is so paranoid about me, what do you want." ”
Li Wencai's words were hidden in the needle, as if he didn't say anything, but he said everything, which made Gao Sheng's old face blush and exclaimed: "What do you mean, as a city and county magistrate, is it strange for me to know your whereabouts?" ”
"It's not strange, I'm afraid I'll find out about you." Li Wencai has something to say.
"I, what's the matter with me." Gao Sheng looked at Li Wencai's evil eyes, and suddenly felt a trace of danger, did he have any handle in his hands, this is impossible, this kid has only been in office for a month, and he has been idle all day long, how can he easily catch his handle, but Gao Sheng didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he said categorically: "My lord, the matter has been clear, the robbery happened in January but there was no result, the people complained, as a patrol department, it is difficult to escape the responsibility, please be guilty." ”
Li Wencai smiled bitterly and shook his head, Gao Sheng is a fool, he is stupid and thinks that others are as stupid as you, what kind of person is Cai Wenzheng, Ying Tiancheng's prostration, people understand the law, this kind of thing happens under the rule of a county order, let it be out of the way, and Lord Cai will not cure your crimes.
Since this goods are so anxious, Li Wencai might as well hit him again, so Li Wencai showed his trump card, reached out and took out a note from his arms, put it on the table slowly and said: "Actually, what the tall man said is not right, since the villain took office, he has been grateful to the emperor for his grace, and he can contribute to the Jiangshan Society even if he does his best to die, so I am panicked all day, after the robbery, the villain does not think about the tea and does not eat, just wants to catch the real murderer, but inadvertently found such a note, And this note happens to have something to do with Lord Gao, the villain looked at the content of the paper and was so frightened that he didn't dare to close his eyes for three days, I didn't expect Lord Gao to have such a big courage. ”
Cai Wenzheng listened to what Li Wencai said, so he picked up the note and read it carefully, and at the end of the reading, he actually took the case, and pointed at Gao Sheng coldly and shouted: "Gao Sheng, you have eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and you actually smuggled official salt, and partnered with Caoyun to evade taxes. ”
Gao Sheng's whole person was like being struck by a bolt of lightning, shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a bang, this matter is too big, the crime is implemented, he is a capital crime, Gao Sheng really regrets it, he shouldn't have been, he really shouldn't fight with Li Wencai, isn't it just a patrolman, what if he sits, but people don't know what will happen in the next second, so they will go to the dark one by one.
Liu Sicheng stroked his goatee and looked at Li Wencai with a satisfied expression, but Li Wencai was still a little unbearable, he and Gao Sheng didn't have such a big hatred, but somehow it came to the point of life and death, and just now I invited him to eat fish.
Cai Wenzheng was very angry, perhaps because he had just eaten spicy grilled fish, he couldn't be calm for a while, and after curing Gao Sheng's crime, he glanced at Li Wencai next to him coldly and said: "This museum originally came for the Chengyang robbery today, but I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected gain, Li Xunsi, you have a lot of credit, but the Chengyang robbery has no results so far, so you can't escape the involvement, I will play the official department to remove your position, where to go, please take care of yourself." ”
After Cai Wenzheng finished speaking, he threw off his sleeve robe and walked out of the Accord in a big stride, Li Wencai didn't care about the sesame official of the patrol division at all, but Lao Cai walked chicly, but he didn't mention the matter of paying the bill.
Cai Wenzheng walked in front, but Liu Sicheng came to Li Wencai's side, glanced at Li Wencai gloatingly, and said: "Today's performance did not disappoint me, go to Nanjing City another day, and the old man will invite you to drink." ”
Li Wencai looked at Liu Sicheng's treacherous and cunning face, and instantly understood something, the officials are all old foxes, eighty percent of this Liu Sicheng has long known about Gao Sheng's smuggling of smuggled salt, and he arranged himself here to be a patrol director, just to test himself, it is really well-intentioned, go to his grandmother's.
