Liu Hao changed his clothes, and then carefully pasted a few strands of beard that he had asked for from Lin Yu last time. Baguio next to him said with a smile: "A good handsome man has become a reckless man." Lang Jun, where are you going? ”

Liu Hao took the bronze mirror and looked left and right before saying: "Go to Henan Yin, if there is any turmoil in Luoyang City, I'm afraid he will talk nonsense on the folds." ”

Baguio chuckled twice: "Lord Yin Lijie of Henan will never be like this." ”

Liu Hao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

Baguio tidied up Liu Hao's clothes: "Master Li Jie is a good official who is dedicated to the people, and he is always quick-witted. When he was appointed as the commander of Luoyang, a woman sued her son for unfilial piety and asked for his death penalty. Master Li Jie agreed on the surface, but in private he sent someone to inquire about her son's personality, and the neighbors said that her son was knowledgeable and extremely filial. Master Li Jie summoned the woman and asked her to prepare a coffin for her son to collect, and the woman left with joy. Li Jie led someone to follow him and found that the woman had an affair with a Taoist priest. After some interrogation, the Taoist priest who seduced the woman was killed on the spot. ”

When Liu Hao heard this, he immediately asked, "That Taoist priest is from Laojun Temple?" ”

Baguio shook his head: "This is not clear. Why does Lang Jun care about that Taoist priest? It was more than 10 years ago. ”

Liu Hao smiled maliciously and said, "I originally wanted to set up a religious association to take charge of Buddhism and Taoism. As a result, even if the Buddha was unwilling, even Xiaoyaozi denied it repeatedly. I'll ask Li Jie when I see him later. By the way, at that time, because the Shi family killed the Luoyang Order, Li Jie wouldn't give me the old accounts, right? ”

Baguio said: "No, Li Jie is a pragmatic person, but he is replaced by a person who relies on nepotism, do you think he will have a good impression?" ”

Liu Hao nodded, and then, accompanied by an escort, walked out of the side door and headed towards the county guard mansion in Henan.

Li Jie is almost the same age as Wang Wan, in his forties, with a long beard. When I saw Liu Hao, I was very puzzled, I didn't know why this short-bearded man suddenly came to the door to ask for a meeting, he was going to inspect the flood control around Chang'an today.

Liu Hao saw Li Jie's unhappy look, and didn't say anything, but took out the imperial gold medal and lit it up: "Master Li, there are important things to discuss below, please find a secluded place." ”

Li Jie, the royal gold medal, knew him, so he immediately put away his thoughts and led Liu Hao to the backyard study.

After entering the door, Li Jie first closed the door before asking respectfully, "I don't know who this little brother is?" ”

Liu Hao smiled, stretched out his hand and tore off the short beard on his face: "Lord Li, villain Liu Hao, I came to visit you today!" ”

Li Jie looked at Liu Hao in a daze: "But Yuan Guoshi preached in his dream, the owner of heaven and earth, and the cavalry captain Liu Hao and Liu Zhicai who His Majesty personally sealed?" ”

Liu Hao himself was amused by this string of titles: "Lord Li is polite, the kid is that Liu Hao." It's just that this list of titles is still forgotten, and it takes a lot of effort to listen to it. ”

Li Jie laughed heartily, and then pulled Liu Hao to kneel down face to face: "In the past half a year, all this official has heard is Xiao Langjun's name. Yesterday, I heard that you were seriously ill, and I didn't want to suddenly come to the door in disguise today. I don't know what big moves Xiao Langjun has? ”

Liu Hao smiled and said, "Today made adults laugh." After a pause, Liu Hao then asked, "Do you know about Maitreya?" ”

Li Jie stroked his long beard and looked at Liu Hao: "I don't know why Xiao Langjun asked this question?" Maitreya religion began in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty developed somewhat, but now it is a bit rampant. Didn't Xiao Langjun uproot the Cui family's snobbery in Luoyang in the previous paragraph? But what did you find? ”

Liu Hao sighed, told the story of what happened after he led the troops to Qinghe, and said with a sigh: "The Maitreya Sect endangers the foundation of the society, and it is secret and abnormal, if it is not solved, it will become a disaster for me sooner or later." ”

Li Jie sighed and said, "I don't want Zhicai to be running around recently, and the old man still thinks that he counts money in heaven and earth every day." Now that Zhicai's wife has been plundered by the Maitreya Sect, if she sends a large army, I am afraid that she will be startled. ”

Liu Hao said: "The reason why Maitreya Sect has been a disaster for a hundred years is that I am afraid that it is inseparable from those big families. Today, the kid said that he was sick, and he also wanted to test whether there would be any anxious people jumping out. ”

Li Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I don't know what the old man can do?" ”

Liu Hao smiled and said, "Then it depends on whether the adult wants merit or political achievements?" ”

Li Jie stared at Liu Hao curiously: "What is the credit?" What is political achievement? ”

Liu Hao stood up and said loudly: "It is a credit to exterminate the Maitreya Sect in the city, and it is a credit to suppress the big clans. Political performance is political communication and harmony, and taxes are increased. ”

Li Jie smiled and said, "I want the stability of the people under my rule, and I don't care about anything else." Can Xiao Langjun be satisfied? ”

Liu Hao was slightly disappointed in his heart, but Li Jie was already giving a lot of face like this. He smiled and said, "What do you think of the brick kilns in the river beach outside the city?" ”

Li Jie thought for a moment before he said softly: "Could it be that the upper authorities are interested in improving the house?" I haven't seen that kind of red brick yet, but I think that the house built must have been a lot better than the wooden structure. I don't know what the price of red bricks is? ”

Liu Hao sat down cross-legged and said: "My division Yuan Tiangang once warned in a dream that there may be a big flood in Luoyang next year. The kid tried to burn red bricks, but he didn't want to really succeed. Nowadays, many merchants are building kilns in the river, and if you are interested, you can praise the benefits of a few red brick houses in Luoyang. The other is to encourage brick-burning merchants, after all, they are also cleaning up the river. The specifics depend on the guidance of adults. It is impossible to say that the flood control problem will be solved at the same time. ”

Li Jie lowered his head and pondered Liu Hao's words, and only after a long time did he get up and bow to Liu Hao: "Regardless of whether the matter of the water is true or not, this official has to thank you, if others know the firing method of this red brick, they will definitely guard against it, in order to sell it at a high price." Xiao Langjun, please accept this official's salute! ”

Liu Hao hurriedly stopped him: "I can't help it, my lord is ashamed of the kid like this." In fact, the tuition fees given by other merchants are already tens of thousands of yuan. ”

Li Jie insisted on giving Liu Hao a deep salute, and then said: "This official also wants to thank Xiao Langjun for the majority of poor students, you don't know how many cold families will be benefited by your three-flavor study, how much is this official worship?" Back in the day, in order to borrow a book, the official knelt at the door of that family's house for a day and a night on a snowy day. When the Japanese official swore that if he failed the scientific examination, he would jump into the Yellow River to wash away the humiliation of kneeling that day. ”

Speaking of the hardships of studying back then, Li Jie, who has been up and down in officialdom for one or two decades, can't help but cry. Liu Hao hurriedly comforted: "The emperor lives up to his wishes, there is one less wisp of grievances in the Yellow River, and there is one more good official in the world who is praised by the people." ”

Li Jie wiped away his tears and smiled embarrassedly: "The old man was born in poverty, so it is not easy to know the people. Since you are sitting in this position, you should do as much practical things as possible for the people. Two days ago, Wang Wan, the chief bookkeeper of Luoyang County, came to the official to sign a joint letter, and the official not only signed, but also took all the officials of the entire county guard mansion and did not let go. If His Majesty can be alerted, even if the official is demoted to a white body, he will be willing. ”

Liu Hao smiled and said, "If you have time, you can go to Gong Zhang's old house to visit." Zhang Gong is very old, and he always wants to find someone to talk to. ”

When Li Jie heard this, he immediately arched his hand to Liu Hao. Then the two looked at each other and smiled, which meant something that needed no words.

Bidding farewell to Li Jie, Liu Hao hurried all the way back to heaven and earth. Now how many mouths in the dark are staring at him with bared teeth, Liu Hao doesn't dare to take it lightly. Now I regret letting Li Bai go back, with him sitting in heaven and earth, I am afraid that no matter how powerful someone comes, Liu Hao will not be afraid.

As soon as he entered through the side door, Liu Hao saw that Bai Jingjing was actually there.

Liu Hao was immediately furious, rushed to her and stretched out his hand to slap her: "You are the holy daughter of the Maitreya Sect?" Isn't it enough to hurt me? Who are you going to kill today? ”

It is said that with Bai Jingjing's martial arts, ten Liu Hao can't get close to her. But Bai Jingjing just stood like that, neither speaking nor fighting back, half of her face was swollen.

Liu Hao saw that she was motionless, and then roared: "Aren't you very martial arts?" Fight back! Kill me! If you kill someone I can spare here, then you can do it quickly! ”

Bai Jingjing looked at Liu Hao, with indescribable sadness in her eyes.

At this time, Baguio ran over: "Lang Jun, what are you doing?" The white girl just rescued Sister Gongsun, how did you start beating people? ”

Liu Hao pointed at Bai Jingjing and said, "She is the holy daughter of the Maitreya Sect!" Deliberately came to kill us today, Baguio, you guys go quickly! ”

Baguio twisted Liu Hao: "Liu Hao, can you calm down?" ”

Baguio continued: "The White Maiden used to be a holy woman of the Maitreya Sect, but now she is not. She was dissatisfied with what her master had done, so she rescued Sister Gongsun, but fortunately it was sent in time, otherwise Sister Gongsun would have died. ”

Liu Hao became nervous when he heard this: "What about cloves?" How is she? ”

Bai Jingjing replied at this time: "Lady Lilac was taken away by her mother and threatened to kill your child if you dare to touch the Maitreya Sect. ”

Liu Hao looked at her in a daze: "When will the cloves come back?" ”

Bai Jingjing sighed: "Look at what the Great Elder means, I won't let you meet Mrs. Lilac in this life." ”

Liu Hao's lips trembled: "Why?" Are we in love? Why can't we be together? ”

Bai Jingjing did not answer. There is no need to answer this question, Liu Hao has been crazy about suppressing the Maitreya Sect since he discovered the existence of the Maitreya Sect, and now the other party has the killer feature of cloves, and he will definitely make good use of it.

Liu Hao collapsed to the ground and muttered indistinctly: "I want to do something for the people of Datang wholeheartedly, why is it so difficult?" Lilac and I are in love, why can't we be together? God, is it interesting for you to play with me like this? ”
