Wang Xiaoyan confessed to the misappropriation of treasury money in the name of Jiang Zhixian in 1510, and he also thought that Jiang Zhixian left clues such as a suicide note before committing suicide, so that Li Xianzun noticed the situation.

He knows too much about the official master's real surname, even if he insists on not recruiting, Li Xianzun will definitely be tortured to death. So I still recruited early, and took the initiative to make up for the deficit and close the matter, so as not to suffer more from flesh and skin.

However, the confession is a confession, and Wang still feels that he is too wronged, more wronged than Dou E.

Originally, with the small handle of Jiangzhi County, they embezzled public funds together, and everyone could be with light and dust and common prosperity under mutual scruples. The county magistrate is decent and noble, even if he knows, he has to pinch his nose and admit that it is not good to see if things are big, and everyone knows which is more important than the future of the magistrate and the future of the county.

But he never expected that Jiang Zhixian would not hesitate to commit suicide because of the deficit, so that he Wang alone could not be a bank treasurer in peace. This is really unfavorable for the passing year, bad luck, the mildew star is shining, Tai Sui is the head, and the new things that can't happen once in a hundred years are also called to him, and he has nowhere to reason.

It's another tragedy where a petty official threatens to blackmail an official... Li You slapped the shocked wood again and scolded: "You trick! There are many untruths! Where is the thousand taels of stolen silver now? Could it be that you took it for lending? ”

This old man is definitely an insider... Wang Huan didn't dare to hide it anymore: "Xiao is indeed practical to lend money to earn interest, I wanted to earn enough capital to return it to the silver treasury, but now I get two hundred taels of interest, and I am willing to return all the principal and interest back to the public school!" I only ask for grace from the great master! ”

Sure enough, it was taken to loan sharks, which was really a good calculation, and Li You was also very curious about the use of Jiangzhi County's embezzlement of huge public funds. Four thousand taels is definitely not a small amount, it is enough for Jiang Zhixian to go to Beijing to elect officials to create a middle and lower grade Zhizhou, and many small counties may not be able to dig out four thousand taels when they empty the county treasury.

But he also understands that the cause of the deficit has been ascertained, and the crime of forcing Jiang Zhixian to death is borne by the junior official, and the embezzled silver taels can also be made up, so this case should end here.

An unspoken rule of the official deficit case of the dynasty is: unless it causes a big mess or offends a big person, as long as it can be filled, it can be dealt with leniently, and it is very common to have a few ups and downs for the shortfall.

As the saying goes, death is great, and in the current situation, if you continue to track down the illegal payment of money by the predecessor Jiang Daren, it will seem that Li Xianzun is very inauthentic. It is not possible to be an official, but it must be done authentically.

However, listening to the people kowtowing and confessing their guilt, Master Li still felt a little lost, and thought of a clever plan with his heart, but the result was useless, making people feel that their ambitions were difficult to reward.

Why is this guy so bad, may everyone in the world become a good person, Li You said with emotion.

After feeling the good and evil surnames, and then looking down at Wang Xiaoyi's ugly face, Li Xianzun suddenly felt a little disgust mixed with sadness and itchy complex emotions surging in his heart, and even he didn't know where it came from.

Seeing the cunning and greedy county officials, Li Xianzun seemed to see his groveling and doggy past. Subconsciously, it's a little itchy... But for the old man who is now paying attention to decency, he understands very well that this kind of memory is obviously not pleasant. It's normal to feel ashamed and disgusted at the same time.

Li You taught himself a lesson very seriously in his heart, what is his identity now? It is a dignified Xiongyi county six-grade parent official, and the bridge he came up with is actually the same as the villain in front of him, how can it not be embarrassing.

We should change our minds and be a "good person"! Li Xianzun, who was emotional, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of sticks, but he didn't count them, threw them down the stairs fiercely, and shouted: "Twenty heavy responsibilities, go to prison first and await the sentence!" In addition, he asked his family to pay back 1,000 taels of silver and fined 300 silver, and if he couldn't take it out, the whole family would be sold into slavery! ”

Wang Xiaoyan knelt on the ground, and when he heard this disposition, he breathed a sigh of relief. Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, although Master Li seems to be ruthless in his words, he must be planning to generate income.

What is a pre-sentence? Waiting is waiting, and waiting is waiting for the price to sell. If the Wang family has any money left over after losing the deficit and the fine, they can start the activities layer by layer.

Mr. Cui, the criminal master next to him, couldn't help but show a little joy.

As a county honoree, the proprietor is a decent person after all, and some things should not be done by himself, so as not to cause gossip. But don't worry, these long-term masters can take their own responsibilities, from the documents to the stamping layer by layer, enough to take care of all the business that does not see the light, the proprietor only needs to sit back and enjoy the success, do not bother!

When he retreated, Cui Zhenfei accompanied Li Xianzun back to the back office, and said as he walked: "The proprietor can rest assured that he will do things properly and live up to the proprietor's high expectations!" ”

Li You glanced at Master Cui, and sighed slightly: "Happy things are all done for you." ”

When I entered the back office, I saw Master Zhuang and Master Zhou sitting in the flower hall resting and chatting, talking about the suicide case of Jiang Zhi County.

I only heard Zhuang Chengxian stroke his beard and said to Zhou Jiexi: "The old man has been in the public for decades, and he has never seen such a strange thing. Money will not be said to death. After thinking about it carefully, there must be a woman behind the things that make men die and can't say anything, and she is a beautiful woman! ”

Li You went in and said: "This matter is over, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Zhuang Chengxian hurriedly got up to greet him and presented Li Xianzun with two newly delivered posts.

Unfolded and looked at it, the first letter was a million gold, and it was still the same old tune, and it was going to be washed for Lord Li. Li You continued not to respond and ignored it.

In these two words, he gradually understood that Jiangdu County was located on the only way for Huainan salt to be exported, and the waterway checkpoints for the investigation of illegal salt were all guarded by patrol officers, and the classic history of Jiangdu County was in charge of the patrol of salt affairs in the county. Therefore, it is normal for a salt merchant like Jin Million to want to hold the position of the canon, so Lord Li is not in a hurry.

I continued to read the second letter, but it was sent by a stranger. An official from Fujian, who went to Beijing after his term of office, passed by Jiangdu County, and admired the name of Li Fushi for a long time, so he asked to see him.

This is the common entertainment in officialdom, and Li Xianzun can't ignore it. Because this Fujian official also sent Chen Xundao's letters, and the series of letters learned that he was the same year as Lord Chen. has this relationship, so Li You must enthusiastically entertain this strange guest, and he has to send Cheng Yi.

Li Xianzun is very interested in shaking his majesty, sprinkling sticks, and playing boards, but he can't really lift his spirit in the escort business, which can't see whether it is useful to him for a while. For example, who knows if he will be promoted or defeated in the future?

But sitting in this position, wearing this official robe, and entering this big net, I can't help it, everyone comes over like this, and no one is exempt from vulgarity.

"Jiangdu County is located in a key area, and it is indispensable to usher in things in the future. It's also a good thing for the proprietor, so you can get to know more people. Although the proprietor has the support of the princes in Beijing, but all the princes have exceeded half a hundred, and they will retire in one or two decades, and the proprietor is said to be rising, and there are still thirty or forty years to be an official. Master Zhuang saw that Master Li was young and impetuous, and he was impatient with pure entertainment, so he persuaded him.

Li You concluded: "It's nothing more than casting a wide net to catch more fish, and if you get to know a few of the hundreds of people, you can recover the capital." One out of a hundred, the world's business, is there anything harder than this? ”

After that, he passed the word, called the honor guard to gather, and when he returned to the house to change his clothes, he bowed down and handed it over to the post house to pay respects. The two sides are of the same grade, and it stands to reason that the guests should come to the door to worship the host, and the master Li can go out to greet him.

But who made the family the same year as Chen Xundao, from here on, Master Li suffered more in terms of generation, and he was more than ten years younger, a real junior. Therefore, it is more in line with the people to visit the post house and win a reputation.

Master Zhuang suddenly remembered Master Li's swaggering deeds in the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou in Suzhou, and reminded: "Now the identity of the proprietor is different from the past, he is a parent, and he must have the appearance of a parent, and he must no longer act in a style of style." Summoning wine and entertaining guests is nothing, the world is popular, but it is not allowed to stay overnight, and the court also has rules, and officials who are close to the people are not allowed to go out of the government for the night at will. If you can't help it... You have to quietly carry it back to the house, and you don't have to make a statement. ”

After listening to Master Zhuang's reminder, a picture suddenly appeared in Master Li's mind - a leader, four open roads, six signs, four sedan chair drivers, an umbrella driver, eight attendants and other mighty ceremonial processions, all guarding outside the door of a certain family, in the surprised and curious eyes of the neighbors, respectfully waiting for a certain master to finish his work... Then another picture flashed in my mind - the stunning beauty in a certain picture was carried back to the inner office from the small door, and when a certain lord communicated with her in depth, she was strongly watched and commented on by Liu Niangzi, Jin Baoer, Guan Xiuxiu, Cheng Saiyu, Mei Zhi, Xiaozhu and others... I see! Li Xianzun suddenly realized, no wonder the colleagues in the public case novel are addicted to private interviews! I couldn't help but sigh as I walked: "I know that it is hard to obey orders, and I am not free to act..."

He just walked out of the flower hall to the back yamen's room, and saw the doorman Zhang San and a woman pulling and talking, surrounded by several guards smiling and grinning.

"Little lady, what are you looking for, Uncle Zhang, I will do the same thing as you are satisfied, and I will talk about your affairs in the concierge."

"This brother on the door, it's not that the slave family doesn't believe you, it's just that the husband sent a message saying that he wanted to find Mr. Cui. As the old saying goes, don't bother the two masters, the slave family is afraid of making mistakes, and the heart is tight, or the doorman's brother spares it. ”

Master Li walked closer, and saw that the woman was nearly thirty years old, and her long eyebrows and phoenix eyes were very beautiful. The face is slightly powdered, and the head is combed with a lazy crooked bun, and there are flower branches like butterflies dancing. The white short shirt and white skirt are beautiful all over the body, and the long belt is graceful and graceful, and the fragrance is smelled in ten steps, which is quite moving.

Li You coughed heavily, Zhang San found that the old man appeared, and immediately trotted over to report: "This is the lady of the Wang family, who is going to go in to find Master Cui." ”

Wang Xiaoyi's family? It came so quickly! But it is not surprising that Li Xianzun thought about it, the official residence where the officials lived was also part of the county government, and it was very close to here, so it was not strange that he could hear the news so quickly and come over to fight the joint.

Wang Niangzi knelt in front of Li You, and when she fell to the ground, a few dazzling flesh colors were revealed from her loose neckline, and the looming scenery was the most attractive, and even the eyes of the long-tested Lord Li were hooked.

"I heard that the slave husband used the treasury silver, but my family must make up for it, and I beg the eldest master to spare him." Wang Niangzi pleaded with a little crying.

Facing the beautiful young woman who took the initiative to send it to the door, Li You's heart was itching, and he must have teased happily a few times in the past. But now in front of everyone's eyes, as the county lord, he can only wave his hand majestically: "The case file is with Master Cui, you go to him to ask!" ”

Seeing the lady of the Wang family twist her waist and get into Master Cui's curtain hall, Zhang San said with a little envy: "This woman is not a good way, she definitely dares to undress and untie her belt, but it's a pity that it is cheaper for Mr. Cui." I don't know if it fits Mr. Cui's tune. ”

Lord Li is a little unhappy, even if he is as close as Zhang San, he only cares about envying Cui Zhenfei's affair at this time, and he doesn't bother to think about whether he has a **?

In their own small sphere of influence, the local officials of the dynasty gained arbitrary, theoretically almost unlimited power, and were called "soil emperors", but they were regarded by public opinion with the highest moral standards.

Whoever sat in the lobby was first asked to use the "blue sky" template. As a result, there are many contradictions between ideals and reality.

Wang Niangzi drilled Master Cui's house, everyone is not surprised, even if Master Cui does something, it will not be rare. But if she drilled into the house of a certain county, even if there was nothing, it was estimated that countless versions of gossip would spread all over the county government overnight and expand to all parts of the county... When Li You went back to the inner house to change clothes, he went to visit his children again. Thinking of all kinds of thoughts today, he said to himself to the little boy half a foot long: "Wu'er, if you want to be free in the future, don't be an official, be the fastest life." ”

Aunt Guan was very dissatisfied with her husband's preschool education, so she hugged her son over, and didn't care if the baby could understand it, and said softly: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, you will compare him to the top student in the study exam in the future..."

He handed over his son to the nurse and took him away, looked up and said to Li You: "The husband keeps saying that it is not easy to be an official, dare to ask you, the eldest master, to change seats with others in the yamen, are you willing?" You say that you can't be happy as an official, but dare to ask who in the world can do whatever you want? I'm afraid that if I sit in the Jinluan Palace and become the emperor, I won't be able to get my wish. This kind of emotion of your eldest lord is nothing more than a mouth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and a belly of men and prostitutes..."

Li You was speechless by the concubine's education, and when he left the house, he found Cui Zhenfei guarding the door.

"The proprietor has seen the lady of the Wang family? She said that she would send the money to the lower room in the evening, and she did not know what the proprietor meant... Is it to send the silver directly to the proprietor? ”

Hearing Master Cui's report, Li You suddenly became happy again. Does he care about a woman, what he cares about is the power to distribute her, and now others don't have this power! Zhang San doesn't study after all, so he is obviously not as promising as Master Cui.

It's better to be an official, Li Xianzun nodded, and instructed with a pun: "You just keep it!" ”
