Gu Dingchen was also a little surprised by this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If Zhao Mengqing, the governor of Zhouzhou, is really such a "pioneer" on weekdays, why is the dredging of the canal so difficult to implement?

Could it be that the little officials below have hollowed out this official, so that Zhao Zhizhou can't use it?

There is still this possibility, after all, Zhizhou is an outsider, and he may not know the problems of the local gentry family. It is not known that he inadvertently offended these wealthy families.

You must know that whether it is a prefecture or a prefecture or county, the officials in the yamen are basically controlled by the wealthy families in these places.

Officials do not need to go through the imperial examination, and without a term of office, they often live to old age, and the inheritance of the father and the son is inherited, and even the officials sent by the imperial court are not necessarily taken into account.

Gu Dingchen really couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only think that this was the case.

It seems that he wronged Zhao Zhizhou.

These damn little officials, it's just a matter of crowding out the officials, and the responsibility for delaying the dredging of the canal is heavy.

But Gu Dingchen had no choice, because there were too many small officials, and it was impossible for him to punish them one by one. If that were the case, there would be no one to work.

Although officials are good at making articles, they have to rely on officials to really do things.

The election of officials is loyal, but the officials have no loyalty at all, no matter how many officials have been replaced, their status has not changed at all.

If Zhao Mengqing knew the true thoughts of Lord Qincha, he would probably pass out happily.

In fact, the current Zhao Mengqing is still trembling, and he has no bottom in his heart. Who told Lord Qincha that the real person did not show his face?

Fortunately, Lord Qincha's attention was focused on the dredging of the canal, and he did not inquire too much about government affairs, so Zhao Mengqing was content.

But not long after Zhao Zhizhou's good days, a small official accused Zhao Mengqing of robbing people's daughters and imprisoned him in the backyard of the state government.

Even Zhao Mengqing was stunned. This little official has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and he dares to report Shangguan in front of Lord Qincha!

Zhao Mengqing did raise more than a dozen beauties in the backyard. Some of these beauties are courtesans, and some are women from good families who have been robbed. Zhao Mengqing covered the sky with one hand in Linqing, and no one dared to question him. This made Zhao Mengqing even more fearless, and even ignored the state politics and prostitution during the day.

But in Zhao Mengqing's opinion, this is nothing at all, which man with status and status is not a man with three wives and four concubines?

I'm afraid my colleagues agree with this.

But identity is identity, after all, it can't be said on the surface.

The Ming Dynasty strictly forbade officials to engage in prostitution, let alone raise singers and rob people's daughters.

Gu Dingchen attached great importance to this matter, and immediately summoned the little official to inquire in person.

Gu Dingchen's move frightened Zhao Mengqing.

He couldn't imagine that he had been greedy for so many silver taels and nothing had happened, but because of a few women. That's a little fucking unlucky, isn't it?

He didn't know what Chincha-sama would do with him. If it were a change of people, it would naturally be easy to say, but Lord Qincha's temperament is upright, and if he tries to find out to the end, he will not be able to escape the charge.

Just when Zhao Mengqing was in a hurry, Master Wu Lian offered advice: "Master, don't you think this matter is very strange? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Mengqing frowned and said.

"Everyone in the yamen knows about the master raising a beautiful concubine in the backyard, but why hasn't anyone mentioned it? Why did the little official go to report it as soon as Lord Qin Cha came? Presumably, there is no major contradiction between the adult and the little official, right? ”

Zhao Mengqing nodded and said, "This is natural." ”

What contradiction can there be between his heart and a small official? Isn't that tantamount to self-deprecation?

"That's it. Since the proprietor and the little official had no grudge in the past and no enmity in the near future, why did he take a huge risk to report the proprietor? ”

"This ......"

Master's words made Zhao Mengqing fall into deep thought.

Yes, this thing is so sudden and unreasonable, no matter how you look at it, it looks like someone deliberately arranged it.

"Could it be Li Tongzhi!"

Zhao Mengqing is not stupid, and through his master's point, he immediately thought of Li Tai, the same acquaintance of Zuo Erguanzhou, who had been against him.

This guy has always been unwilling to give himself a hand, and he disobeyed his orders, and made many small actions behind his back.

He thought that Zhao Mengqing didn't know, but Zhao Mengqing just pretended to be confused and didn't say anything, in fact, Zhao Mengqing knew it very well in his heart!

No matter how you look at this matter, it looks like Li Tai is behind it.

"The proprietor is wise. This matter is the most beneficial to Li Tongzhi, regardless of whether the Qin Cha will punish the proprietor or not, Li Tongzhi will benefit. ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Mengqing snorted, and he had already greeted Li Tai's female ancestors in his heart.

The mother has a leg, and she really fought a goose for a lifetime, and in the end she was pecked by the geese.

If Qin Cha finally convicts Zhao Mengqing, it is needless to say that as a fellow intellectual, Li Taihui will directly take the position of acting as Zhizhou.

Even if Lord Qincha was not ruthless, he raised it high and put it down gently, Zhao Mengqing's reputation was ruined.

It is impossible for an official to have any good development in the scandal of robbing people's daughters and keeping singers.

In the long run, Zhao Mengqing also has to roll up and get out, and Li Tongzhi can still make up for it.

"What should I do now?"

Although he hated Li Tai so much, now Zhao Mengqing had to endure and think about how to deal with it. Wait until you have passed this hurdle and then find Li Tai's miscellaneous accounts to settle accounts.

When the time comes, new hatred and old hatred will be counted together, and he must be made to look good!

Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

Since Wu Lian is Zhao Mengqing's strategist, he should naturally give Zhao Mengqing advice.

He said unhurriedly: "Actually, this matter is simple, the master will transfer those beautiful concubines elsewhere first, so that even if Qin Cha wants to investigate, there is no evidence." At that time, the master can accuse the little official of false accusation and punish him heavily. ”

Zhao Mengqing let out a long breath, and it seemed that this was the best way right now.

It's a pity that this trick can only protect himself, at most he will take out his anger with the little officials, but Li Tai, who is hiding behind, can't help it.

Now Zhao Mengqing really wanted to cramp and skin this hypocrite, but due to the situation, he had to swallow this evil breath temporarily.

"Well, I'll go to the back house."

This matter should not be delayed, the more it is delayed, the greater the risk, so Zhao Mengqing decided to arrange it immediately.

However, it was said that Zhao Zhizhou returned to the back house all the way, called more than a dozen beautiful concubines, and instructed the servants to send them out of the city, and temporarily received a grange to avoid the limelight.

Hearing the news, more than a dozen concubines had different thoughts.

Those who were originally singers, crying and crying, just didn't want to leave.

They ushered in the wind and dust and were sent to them for so many years, and finally survived to marry Zhizhou as a child, originally thought that they would have a settlement in the second half of their lives, but who knew that it was a change from the sky.

The master actually ordered someone to send them away!

As for the women of good families who were taken captive, they were overjoyed, they finally had a chance to escape from Zhao Mengqing's clutches!
