Through the poetry tasting meeting, Li Tao easily earned Chen Juren 500 yuan, and Chen Juren was grateful to Li Tao. Through the auction of the new song Li Tao earned another 3,000 yuan, the process seemed simple but interlocking, which made Liu Xuan puzzled.

"Li Xiaolangjun, why did you stop when you got three thousand yuan? There may be even more prices going on. Liu Xuan looked at Li Tao.

"Old Master Liu, are you testing me? You must have seen that when Liang Ligong brought out Liang Dequan, the other three families had already given up. If the three families quit, even if Liang Ligong gives him 2,000 yuan, we will have to give him the tune. Why don't you be a favor and make Liang Ligong an enemy? ”

Liu Zhiren also asked: "Then why did you choose ginger hanging?" You must know that his strength is the weakest among the four **? ”

Li Tao waved his hand and said: "No, no, Jiang Lian is a businessman, so he will naturally be afraid of Liang Dequan, but he can be his own master, and the other two sides of the master can't make their own decisions." Coupled with this person's surname Ge Haoshuang, he will naturally become Liang Ligong's biggest enemy. ”

Liu Xuan's father and son were secretly frightened: this son is so young and thoughtful, and his future is definitely limitless.

……

Liang Ligong didn't get the tune, and he was ridiculed, but he was angry but helpless. In order to make a difference, after going back, Liang Ligong recounted the incident to Liang Dequan with added fuel and vinegar. After listening to Liang Ligong's story, Liang Dequan couldn't help frowning, and secretly said in his heart: The tiger is not powerful, when I am a sick cat? When I have time to spare, I want to see what this kid named Li Tao has to do. ”

……

In late October, a strange thing happened in Qianling. The soldiers guarding found that for two nights in a row, there were dark shadows on the roof of the Qianling Department. But the strange thing is that during the day, nothing was lost, not even the doors and windows everywhere were not damaged, and it seemed that the thief only walked around the roof for a while, and then went back.

It wasn't until three days later that the Qianling Department discovered that the jade book of worshipping heaven when Emperor Zhongzong ascended the throne was lost. This is a thing against the sky, how dare the Qianling Department be lazy, and hurriedly play the court. No matter how mediocre Zhongzong is, he can't tolerate someone desecrating his father's mausoleum and challenging his authority.

On the third day of November, Zhongzong issued an order that the Great Temple Department was dismissed and exiled for dereliction of duty, and ordered Cui Xiang, the squire of Zhongshu, to take charge of the case and make every effort to recover the jade book.

……

"Uncle Yue, how is your hard work?" Li Tao asked anxiously when he saw Pei Yue, who was in the dust.

"Alright, little master!"

"That's good, let's do what we do!" Li Tao looked happy.

……

Late at night, Liu Renyi came to his study, and everyone knew his habits, and he didn't allow anyone to disturb him when he went to the study. Liu Renyi doesn't know a few big characters, and the reason why he got a study is not because he is vassal, but because he has another mystery. Sure enough, at this time, Liu Renyi held the oil lamp and quietly opened the dark room of the study.

The darkroom was much larger than the study, and in the dim light, piles of copper coins like a hill appeared in front of his eyes. On the table next to the "Copper Money Mountain", there are all kinds of jewelry and jade. At the innermost end were several large wooden boxes, full of ledgers and deeds.

Liu Renyi's eyes were like torches, and he stood quietly in place and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he squatted on the ground and put the oil lamp aside, took out a silk handkerchief, picked up a copper coin and wiped it slowly.

When Liu Renyi walked out of the study, it was already late at night. As soon as Liu Renyi left, a black shadow disappeared into the night at the same time.

……

Within a few days, Yang County Cheng arrived in autumn again. Li Tao knew that he was here to make himself "donate" the second month's money.

In order not to sabotage his plan, Li Tao didn't wait for Yang Xiancheng to speak, so he said to Liu Xuan: "Old Master Liu, you can take Yang Xiancheng to withdraw twenty yuan." ”

Who knows, Yang Xiancheng waved his hand and said: "Li Xiaolangjun, the silver you donated last time can only help a small number of people in Feixi, and this time you need to donate five hundred yuan." ”

"You ......" Li Tao was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.

Yang Xiancheng was still smiling: "Li Xiaolangjun, as far as I know, Qiu Fengpo has earned 3,500 yuan in poetry alone, you only need to donate a fraction, you must not be distressed, right?" ”

Li Tao's eyes turned cold, staring at Yang Xiancheng and said, "What you said makes sense. It's just that I didn't prepare, and I can't take out so much money at once, can I give five days of grace? After five days, please ask Yang County Cheng to come and pick it up. ”

Yang Xiancheng fell generously, arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then I will come back in five days." ”

Not only Yang Xiancheng, but the rest of the people who came to ask for bribes all increased their prices, as if they were justified. Since Yang Xiancheng was pushed to the back of the fifth day, the surname Li Taosuo pushed everyone to the back of the fifth day.

Liu Xuan looked at Li Tao from the side, secretly worried about him in his heart. Li Tao was neither anxious nor annoyed, he was thinking about his plan in his heart.

……

As soon as Yang Xiancheng returned to the county office, a government official came: "Zhang County ordered Yang Xiancheng to come over!" ”

"Got it! You go and tell Zhang County Order, I'll be there right away! Yang Xiancheng nodded to the officer.

The reason why Yang Xiancheng opened the door for Liu Renyi everywhere, in addition to showing favor to Liang Dequan, the most important reason was that Liu Renyi promised himself that after Zhang Wei was transferred out of the eldest son county, he would find a way to make himself the eldest son county commander. Yang Xiancheng is nearly fifty years old, and I don't know how many county commanders he has accompanied, but he is still a county magistrate. Although his county is much more beautiful than the county order, he still very much hopes that he can be the county order.

Although Zhang Wei is a county magistrate, he has never cared about things, and the county government has taken care of all the big and small affairs of the county government. Although Zhang Wei is an ornament, no matter what, it is still a legitimate county order, and Yang County Cheng has to get by in terms of face. Therefore, Yang Xiancheng soon came to Zhang Wei's inner house.

"Zhang County Order, I don't know what you want to order?" Yang Xiancheng looked down on Zhang Wei, who was much younger than him, in his heart, but his face was full of smiles.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Oh! Yang Xiancheng, I came to you to ......"

"Zhang County Order! Zhang County Order! Something is wrong! Before Zhang Wei could finish his words, he was interrupted by a person who hurried in outside the house.

The person who came was Zhao Langzhen, the county lieutenant, and he was stunned when he saw Yang Xiancheng, and then said: "Yang Xiancheng is also here!" ”

Yang Xiancheng knew that Zhao Langzhen had always been at odds with him, and said lightly: "Zhang Xian Ling has something to discuss with me!" ”

"County Lieutenant Zhao, I don't know what's so fuss?" Zhang Wei asked unhappily.

Zhao Langzhen glanced at Yang Xiancheng and hesitated: "This ......"

Seeing this, Yang Xiancheng smiled at Zhang Wei: "Zhang Xian Ling, or I'll avoid it first!" ”

"Yang Xiancheng, it doesn't have to be like this!" After that, Zhang Wei said coldly to Zhao Langzhen: "County Lieutenant Zhao, if there is anything to say directly, there is no need to be sneaky!" ”
