"They're still not patient enough!"

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Xi threw the unfolded official document in his hand on the bookcase.

The official document was sent by Wei Yue from Weinan County, and he took people out of Chang'an a few days ago, but he had just arrived at the place, and in Weinan County, where Li Xi had also inspected last time, the post house where a dozen of them settled was surrounded by a group of unknown local people. Although those people didn't dare to really storm the post house, after all, the post house was the post house of the imperial court, and if they attacked the post house, it would be logical to be charged with a rebellion, but those people trapped Wei Yue and others in the post house for a whole day, and they still ordered a lieutenant to change his clothes, and then slipped out of the back door to deliver the letter back.

And on this day, no one from the local county government showed up to come to the rescue, and the people of the entire county, including the nearby countryside, went to watch the excitement, and the officials, scribes, and yamen in Dudu County seemed to know nothing.

Although Li Xi had expected that there would definitely be such a thing when he made up his mind to rebuild the Guangtong Canal to dredge the Cao Road, but at present, all the affairs of the rebuilding of the Guangtong Canal are still only in full preparation, and there are people in the local area who dare to come so blatantly, and I don't know if Li Xi was too low-key when he went out to inspect, which made them feel that Li Xi was too easy to bully, or who lent them the courage to make them too bold.

After the discussion in the political affairs hall, it was officially approved that the Jianghuai transfer envoy Yamen could officially start the affairs of rebuilding the Guangtong Canal on the sixteenth day of the first month, saying that it was the sixteenth day of the first month, in fact, even if it could not wait for that time, it would start to make comprehensive preparations and preparations from now on, and it would be the end of January to really start, but at the moment, Wei Yue had just taken people out to inquire about the situation of Ding Gong and cattle and horses in various places for a few days, and someone in the local area had already jumped out.

Glancing at the official document, Liu Rong smiled, "I remember hearing you say that the last time you went to inspect, you were very low-key?" ”

Li Xi nodded and looked at him noncommittally.

Liu Rong smiled, "This Weinan County Commander Qian Chang is not an idle person. Kaiyuan 14 years Jinshi was born, studied in the Ministry of Rites for a year, and then served as the commander of Duanshi County, Zezhou, Hedong Province, it is said that the governance of the place is very famous, in the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, he was appointed to Chang'an Dong City Order on the six products, and in the 20th year of Kaiyuan, he was released again, and served as the county commander of Weinan County, don't look at it or from the six products, but this Weinan County is Qi County, with this step of the resume, it is logical to directly send a thorn history in the future! ”

Li Xi knew that Liu Rong was a person who was never forgotten, and his brain was abnormally intelligent, although he had only been in Chang'an for less than a month, he didn't need to be reminded of the homework he should do, and as long as it was the information that came out of his mouth, it would definitely be right.

After thinking about it, he said: "Gyeonggi is a major land, of course, the person who can be a county magistrate here will not be an idle person, but the time when he jumped out seems to be ...... Anxious, right? ”

Liu Rong glanced at him, and the two smiled knowingly.

"If we wait for our side to clean up, the project has begun, and he makes trouble again, although his influence will increase greatly, but at that time, the sin will also increase greatly, if it were me, I would also choose to jump out at this time to test the water temperature, anyway, it didn't cause any consequences, the backstage is hard, the big deal is just a few reprimands, what can I do with him?"

After a pause, Liu Rong smiled again: "Besides, it's just that a group of people in the local area are besieging Wei Yue and them, and they don't do anything with him Qian Chang, this kind of thing, it's not good to plant it casually." Besides, believe it or not, you won't be able to reach the evening, and in the afternoon, this Qian Changqian County Commander will definitely show up, a false alarm! Wei Yue is too, why are you in such a hurry to deliver the letter, wait until the county magistrate comes over to relieve them and then send someone over. ”

Li Xi smiled bitterly when he heard this, he had already understood Liu Rong's lack of righteousness, so he simply ignored him.

At that moment, he just reached out and tapped lightly on the bookcase, "yes, he's going to test the temperature of the water......

Just as he was sighing, other people in the yamen also got the news and rushed over one after another.

Li Xi picked up the official document on the bookcase and raised it at everyone, "Take it and take a look, our Jianghuai transfer envoy is really enough to eat in the local area!" ”

Yang Shenyu, the Jianghuai transfer envoy who was at the forefront, took two steps forward to take the official document, and a group of people gathered around to look at it.

Wei Yue, as an envoy of the imperial court, was sent to the local area to prepare for the preparation of the rebuilding of the Guangtong Canal, but he was inexplicably surrounded by hundreds of local people in the post house and could not get out, and the local yamen did not react for a whole day, and the official document he wrote back was naturally full of anger, after reading it, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and their faces were a little angry.

They have all just been promoted, especially Yang Shenyu, Chang Feng and a few others, who have almost risen to the current level like rockets, and all the affairs in the yamen have been recommended in an orderly and steady manner for a while, they are the most proud, but Wei Yue went out and suddenly knocked such a slap on the face, how could they not be angry with the enemy?

Chang Feng's face was white, and after reading it, he couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "This is too arrogant, don't mention the envoy of the Son of Heaven, Lord Wei is also from the praise of the five products, the local people dare to be so contemptuous, and also connived at the people to besiege the post house, this is simply too deceitful ......"

Several other people couldn't help but echo the words when they heard this.

Including Yang Guozhong, several envoys were newly transferred, and they didn't know Li Xi from top to bottom, but the people from his yamen went out and were bullied, and they were also indignant at this time.

At this time, Yang Shenyu's face was calm, he held the official document in his hand, glanced at it again, and then raised his head, and saw that Li Xi was looking at him, so he didn't dare to look at Li Xi, lowered his head again, frowned slightly, and said, "This matter, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" He turned his head and reminded Chang Feng, "Master Chang, there are some things to be said carefully." ”

Li Xi smiled when he heard this, the word "connivance" should indeed be said with caution, if someone spreads what he just said, this is something that offends people, after all, no one has any evidence to prove that those Diao people are "connived"!

It's just that at this time, Li Xi looked at Yang Shenyu and asked lightly, "Isn't it simple?" Lord Yang said, why is it not an easy way? ”

Yang Shenyu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he spoke: "The imperial decree has just been issued for less than ten days, and the local capital has just begun to prepare, it is estimated that the case has not been dealt with yet, how will the people know?" Besides, even if some news leaks out from the yamen, the rebuilding of the Guangtong Canal is just normal labor, and the counties are arranged according to Dingkou, so how can this gang of Diao people say that the so-called 'labor extraction in Weinan County is twice as high as that in other counties'? ”

Chang Feng nodded when he heard this, and said, "What Lord Yang said is that this is clearly ...... Hmph, Weinan County ......"

Li Xi was noncommittal.

After a pause, Yang Shenyu seemed to recall for a while, and then said: "Qian Chang, a native of Hengzhou, Hedong Province, was born in the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan, and when he was in charge of the Duanshi clan in Zezhou, he was quite popular, and it is said that he married the maiden niece of Concubine Li's mother in the palace, that is, the daughter of Uncle Zhao's uncle......"

Li Xi couldn't help but exchange a look with Liu Rong when he heard this, thinking that this Yang Shenyu really deserved to be from a family, he was proficient in personnel and accurate in everything, and in a moment, he quickly sorted out his ideas, and in Li Xi's opinion, it seemed that his thoughts were almost completely consistent with his own, and he was infinitely close to the truth.

So he asked, "What does Lord Yang mean?" ”

It is enough to point out what should be pointed out, and if there are unnecessary words, Yang Shenyu didn't dare to talk nonsense, and after thinking about it, he said lightly: "My lord, this matter seems to be difficult to deal with." If the board does not fall, there will definitely be thorns everywhere after that, and the matter of rebuilding the Guangtong Canal may have to be repeated. But if you want the board to fall...... I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp any reason! ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard this, this kind of thing, at present, the place of Weinan County is at best a sin of poor local governance, although hundreds of Diao people gathered, they did not really attack the post house, nor did they treat Wei Yue and them.

Besides, including Wei Yue, everyone is not an official in Weinan and is very unfamiliar with the local situation.

At this time, Li Yifeng cautiously suggested: "My lord, should we report this matter to the Criminal Department first, and at the same time send an official document to Jingzhao Mansion to see their reaction?" ”

I have to say that if it is put in the officialdom, Li Yifeng's statement is the orthodox approach, it is upright and peaceful, and everything is in accordance with the established rules. So after he finished speaking, Yang Shenyu and a few others nodded in agreement frequently, and even Chang Feng said after thinking about it, "At present, it seems that it has to be like this, if you want to come to the Criminal Department and Jingzhao Mansion, you shouldn't sit back and watch this Weinan County come so nonsense!" ”

Li Xi naturally agreed kindly, but after a pause, he said again: "The one who should write the text should still be sent over as usual, but we can't let our people be bullied, but we can only wait for other yamen to reach out to help us, right?" ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and after a while, everyone bowed down and said, "May it be as your lord commands!" ”

Li Xi put his hands behind his back and said: "Our Jianghuai transfer envoy has just been built, and the local people don't know us, so they don't want them, but since we want to do things, we can't always let them not know us, right?" Therefore, this official thinks that it is time for them to know what kind of yamen our new yamen is! ”

Weinan County Ya, Hou Ya.

The county gentleman walked in hurriedly, just asked outside the door, and then pushed the door in.

Seeing that the county magistrate Qian Chang was reading a book, he said: "My lord, that Wei Yue Wei Zanshi still looks very angry, saying that the place is not quiet, and it is inconvenient to come to the county office, presumably ...... It was yesterday that the gang really scared the hell out of them. ”

Hearing this, Qian Changyan put down the book, couldn't help but show a contemptuous expression, and sneered: "This Wei Yue, I know, I have been the head of the household department for many years, and he is not afraid of things, if you want to say that you are afraid, I don't think so, he wants to put on a posture and force us to come forward to take people!" He sneered again and said, "It's easy to think, and I don't look at it myself, thinking that this is in their bullshit yamen?" This is Weinan! ”

Even more vulgar Yan immediately laughed in agreement, and said, "My lord, I see it." ”

He said: "This has been back and forth a few times, whether it is this Wei Yue, or their Jianghuai transfer deputy envoy Li Xi, according to the lower officials, it is nothing more than that, the big deal is just a bunch of book beetles, if you want to say which yamen to squat in and fiddle with the account books, you can still see a little shrewdness, down to our place, they can't figure out the southeast and northwest at all." ”

Qian Chang smiled proudly when he heard this, and continued: "This Wei Yue is better, especially that Li Xi, adults should remember that when he came over for the first time, you obviously dried him for a day, and he actually deliberately made a look of not caring at all, in fact, he felt uncomfortable...... People often say that the color is strong and inward, according to the lower officials, he doesn't even dare to put a face, the news from Beijing, saying how powerful he is, is probably not very accurate! ”

Qian Chang was even happier when he heard this, so he said: "Seeing is believing!" ”

Even more commonly said, he slapped his hands and asked, "Then your lord, look, is this the case today?" Just now, the official wanted to invite them to the banquet on behalf of the county, but that Wei Zanshi refused, so that even this was saved. What other commands do you have? ”

After thinking about it, Qian Chang waved his hand, "Let them go, don't worry about him!" ”

More vulgar heard that he bowed and said yes, and then he was about to say goodbye, but then Qian Chang stopped him, and when the more vulgar returned, he smiled on his face, showed an unhappy look, coughed, and said: "This, this official is the order of Weinan County, in the future, if there is any news and any movement, this official will personally write a letter to the prince, you don't want to write a letter casually, even if there is a letter, you still have to take it over and hand it over to the official first, and it is better for the official to transfer it on your behalf." Do you understand this? ”

"Uh......" hesitated for a moment, and the smile on the more vulgar face became more and more deferential, and said: "Your Excellency has a life, how dare you disrespect your subordinates?" According to what the lord said, the lower officials will no longer write letters to Beijing in the future. ”

Qian Chang was very satisfied with the more vulgar knowledge, so he showed a smile on his face and reassured: "Old man, don't worry, follow this official, I can't treat you badly, you know?" ”

It was even more vulgar and bowed down, and thanked him again and again, and then retreated out of the study of the back office.

As soon as he left the study and turned around, his face immediately showed indignation, and he walked a few steps away from here, and after returning to his official room, he couldn't help but slap the bookcase with hatred.

"Phew, if it weren't for you being more old, do you think you would be able to sit firmly in this county order? At this time, the face is upside down! ”

Having said that, after sitting down, he took out a letter he had written last night from the case, read it again, and finally had to shake his hand helplessly and tear it to pieces.

Thinking about it instead, I was indignant.
