Chapter 008: Trickery
Wang Zhixue felt more and more that this guy was really good at talking, so he said on the side: "It's difficult for people to be kind, so you don't have to be polite." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Actually, he hasn't paid attention to Zhou Sancong at all along the way, because although he is a low-grade academic official, he is also an official, and the other party is just a small official who runs errands, who knows whether he picked up big feces or poured the toilet before he entered the service? Can't do it.
As soon as Li Ang said it, he felt that it was inappropriate, after all, he was sent by the prefect, so he was polite.
Zhou Sancong naturally would not refuse, at the moment, he didn't talk about business, just picked up some gossip to pass the time, and when Meng and Yang Ganniang cleaned up a table of food, the Li family father and son invited Wang Zhixue and Zhou Sancong to the table.
Although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, Meng has put a lot of thought into it, and there are a lot of tricks in a table of farmhouse banquets. In addition, Li Ang diligently persuaded him to drink, and Li Bai was also patient to socialize, and the atmosphere was still warm.
When the wine was half-drunk, Li Ang excused himself to leave the table, and it took a while to return. Wang Zhixue asked him where he went, and he only said that he would arrange a meal for the coachman, and by the way, look at the donkey cart parked outside, so as not to startle the urchins with the cattle.
Wang Zhixue knew it, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said: "Brother Mubai, don't hide it, before I came, the official greeted him, saying that if there is something to do, he will deal with it impartially, and there is no need to have any scruples because of his relationship." If it's just chasing after the wind, you must also return Li Ang's innocence to set the record straight. ā
Li Bai nodded frequently: "It should be so, and I also ask the direct school officials to be thoughtful." ā
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Zhixue took the handkerchief and said in a deep voice, "In this way, Brother Mu Bai will take a trip, and invite a few respected members of the family, the elders in the township, plus your big security or chief here, and I will ask Zhou Sancong for questions." After all, it's a business matter, and you always have to go through the motions. ā
Li Bailian said "should", so he ordered the wine and food to be withdrawn, and then served tea, let Li Ang accompany him, and he hurriedly went out to find someone.
It's boring to sit dry, Wang Zhixue thinks that since everyone is called "teacher", how can he not learn without a little bit of it? So he asked some simple questions, and Li Ang answered them fluently.
I was about to pick up some difficult questions to ask, but was interrupted by a noise outside. Li Ang confessed and hurriedly went out to take a look, but it was Sun Baolin, the head of the capital, who led four or five people to stand in the courtyard, and was blocked by Li Daguan and prevented from entering.
"What do you want to do?"
When Sun Baozheng saw him come out, he rolled his eyes: "I heard that the prefecture and county have sent officials to check on you, and I, as Du Baozheng, have to testify and assist." Seeing no, I have already found all the people, just waiting for the officials to ask. ā
In fact, he has been staring at people, and when he saw that the superior sent someone directly into Li's house, he hadn't come out after dinner, and he knew that something was wrong. So he quickly found a few obedient people, set up his rhetoric, and went directly to Li's house.
Li Ang saw that all the people came to him, and there were many of them who had been messing with him in the past, so he had already guessed the other party's intentions. But he didn't stop him, and said generously: "In that case, then please." ā
Li Bai glanced at his son vigorously, are you stupid?
Sun Baolin didn't care about this, he led people to hula and broke in, and when he entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly: "This time, we have grievances and grievances!" Don't be afraid, our own officials will make decisions for us! ā
Li Bai's eyes were red from drinking, and he almost burst out of fire at this time, Li Ang persuaded him, and whispered a few words, Lao Li's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he slipped out of the door.
In the main hall, Wang Zhixue looked up and down at Sun Baolin, who seemed to be seven or eight months pregnant: "You are the local Baozheng?" ā
"Exactly."
"Okay, I was entrusted by the 'long edict' of the school to go to the countryside to ask you about your report of Li Ang. Since you denounced him, then what evidence do you have for how he caused trouble in the township? ā
Sun Baozheng came to his senses, rolled up his sleeves, lifted his belt, and began to spit bitterly about Li Ang's evil history. He also said that if such a person entered the official school, it would be blasphemous to the sages and contrary to the original intention of the court to raise priests and clergy.
He brought those few people who didn't wait for Wang Zhixue to learn, and they also rushed to complain. This said that Li Niutou had beaten me, and I couldn't get out of bed for half a month. The one said he had stripped me of my clothes and threw me into the river naked, almost drowning.
Wang Zhixue listened patiently, found a gap and asked, "In that case, why don't you go to the government to denounce it?" ā
"The villains are afraid that Li Daguan is rich and powerful, and Li Niutou is brave and ruthless, how dare he sue?"
At first, Li Ang only thought he was watching a clumsy performance, but at this time, when he saw that Sun Fat Man not only wanted to make himself stink, but also pulled Lao Li into the water, he was angry for a while!
At this time, Wang Zhixue turned around and asked, "Li Ang, what do you have to say?" ā
Looking at those mischievous idlers, Li Ang only said: "Do you dare to write your words against me in black and white, sign and draw?" ā
"Then why wouldn't you dare?" Sun Baozheng's voice is like a bell.
But the playful idlers were not encouraged, and when they heard the "signature and painting", they beat drums in their hearts. They were indeed repaired by Leon, but they just pumped their mouths and kicked them a few times, how could they beat them so that they couldn't get out of bed for half a month, and threw them into the river to eat wonton noodles?
Because Bao Zheng called, he didn't dare to refuse, and then for the sake of money, he added fuel to the past, and even insinuated the philanthropic Li Daguan with a clear conscience as a tyrant in the countryside. Thinking that it was just asking anyway, and it wasn't a passing class, at most Li Ang would not be able to go to school, and there would be no more serious consequences.
Moreover, the countrymen have never seen the world, and they always feel that the matter of "signing and drawing a pledge" is a talent to sell themselves and admit their guilt. If we sign the drawing, how can we get it if we really check it?
Wang Zhixue saw the clue, shook out his official authority, and said in a full tone: "I remind you to wait, this matter is personally inquired about by the prefect Xianggong, Zhou Sancong, what did Xianggong say?" ā
Eating people with a short mouth, plus knowing that the Kang Governor really values this Li Ang, Zhou Sancong said: "When I came, the Xianggong instructed the villain to say, I think that Li Ang is indeed talented and enthusiastic, and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing in the township." You follow the people in the school to see what the hell is going on. ā
Hearing him move out of the prefect's office, a few splashes were already frightened. For them, Du Baozheng is already a stomping and trembling figure, and as for the officials in the county, they are even more godlike, not to mention the prefect?
Even Sun Baozheng's face was cloudy, and when he was hesitating, he saw Li Bai leading a few people back.
There is the chief of the village, the "illiterate person in Shuishui" who guarantees Li Ang, and two villagers, a teenager, and three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, who are obviously more representative than his people.
Wang Zhixue asked again, the newcomer said that Li Ang was a little naughty when he was a child, but he was naughty and mischievous, neither bullying men and women, nor taking advantage of them, not to mention that he was a disaster in the township. And this child's nature is not bad, when he met the child from the poor family, he gave them snacks, and when he saw the old and weak who couldn't walk, he also helped him......
The more Sun Baozheng listened, the more he didn't taste it, and said in his heart, is this still Li Niutou? I've seen him give me snacks and spill them out, causing the children to break their heads. As for helping the old and the weak, I haven't seen it, but Lao Tzu has experienced it himself! That time, I ate a few more bowls of wine in the city, and when I returned to the village, I met him and came to help him attentively. I also said that this guy finally changed his sex and became sensible, so he went directly to Lao Tzu in the ditch!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he took out his usual fierce and vicious appearance and threatened: "You have to be responsible for speaking, do you dare to sign and draw a pledge?" ā
"Then why wouldn't you dare?" Several people spoke in unison.
First, the reason why Li Ang is disgusted by his neighbors is because he is too good at tossing and mischievous, not that he is so bad; Second, if Li Ang can go to school, will he be able to study in the city? Is there no chance to chase chickens and dogs in the township, block smoke in the house, pull the tail of the ox, and pull the donkey's peg?
When Wang Zhixue heard this, he called for pen and ink, wrote down the statements of several people later, and asked him to sign and draw a seal, and after drying the ink, he put it away closely.
Sun Baozheng saw that he wanted to settle the matter, and said dissatisfiedly: "Straight school official, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this, right?" If the magistrate asked...... "Although the other party is a scholar, he can't control him, so I'm not afraid."
Wang Zhixue glanced at him, very unhappy, but some words were difficult to say. When he was in trouble, he heard Li Ang say to those pranksters: "Let's go, this time you have to be the master for you, and you don't have to be afraid that my family is rich and powerful, let's go to the county to confront them!" ā
The government all looked up to him, what is the county? A few splashes shook their heads again and again, saying that it was not enough, they were all township friends, just joking.
Li Ang made a mistake, and repeatedly refused, saying that it was okay not to go to the county, let's go to the Jiangjunling Naguan to behead the chicken and gamble on the blood curse! In the end, a few splashes were forced to have no choice, and one of them begged for mercy: "Niu Tou, no, no, Da Lang, forget it, it's all the Baozheng officials who asked me to come......"
