These two said that the Suzhou Prefecture Office and the Tongzhi Hall were very lively, and they swept away the desertion of not even a few birds. The officials who thought they were qualified came to ask for warmth, lest the two masters of Wang and Li were not familiar with them, and they had to wander around the Tongzhi Hall if they had nothing to do.

Why are all the officials come to worship the mountain gate? Now that seven of the nine officials in the government have been taken down by the Qincha, and thirty of the regular officials have been imprisoned, I think that these dog-legged officials and temporary workers are not qualified enough to cooperate with the serious officials to be involved in the case, and most of them have survived, so there are only these people left in the government office that has been paralyzed.

Most of the hot and cold scenes in this world were suffered by Li You. Wang Tongzhi assisted Qin Cha in adjudicating the case, and he was often absent, only the Governor of the Department of Governorship Li could still stick to his post and endure all kinds of clumsy patting to please him, after all, the realm of the little people was too low.

However, Li You was born in the government and naturally understands this group very thoroughly. Don't look at the fact that he has been very affectionate in the government office in the past two days, in fact, it is all their instinctive behavior to fall with the wind, and they may not have any convincing belief in him. How can a person who has been sitting on the cold bench for a long time be convinced by the old fritters of the Yamen who are accustomed to the world?

In the afternoon, when Li You and the two veteran officials were in the courtyard and had a nonsense, they caught a glimpse of Hong Xunzhu entering the courtyard, and Zhang San, who was guarding the door, did not stop him.

"Hong Zhutou is so diligent, he has come in the afternoon, and he has come in the afternoon, and the morning and dusk are nothing more than that." Li You teased.

The old official next to him laughed very loudly, it seemed that what Governor Li said was very interesting, and after laughing, he said: "It's not enough to set the province in the morning and dusk, the old master Confucius said that there are three provinces, and Uncle Hong is going to practice the words of the sage." ”

Hong Xunzhuo's face turned red, but he said skillfully: "You can't blame it, every hall, hall and room over there have closed their doors to play an empty city plan, but Master Li is popular and happy here, and there is nowhere else to go." I had to come here to be more happy. ”

"You are really good at talking, no wonder you can be exquisite in all directions and make good connections." Li You smiled, his words did sound very comfortable.

Hong Patrol saw that Li You was in a good mood, so he said: "Actually, I don't hide it from my lord, but there is one thing. ”

"Say." Li You still gave Hong Xun some face, after all, he helped himself block the humiliation of the hundred-pound flail, so that he would not lie on the ground, and he could accept the cheers of the people with his head held high. This favor is not small, imagine that if Master Li is really put on a hundred catties of wooden flail, pressed under the wall and curled up in a ball, this appearance will be ugly even if it can brush up its reputation.

Hong Patrol beckoned to the courtyard gate, and saw a person cowering and moving in, it was Hu Bantou, the villain who misjudged Governor Li as a water dog to beat the day before yesterday.

I haven't had time to rectify you, but I'm going to send it to the door today... Li You's face changed slightly, and he said to Hong Xun with a smile: "It's another deal?" How much money did you collect? ”

Hong Xun sneered and said: "Just introduce it in the next place, and how to deal with it by yourself." ”

Hu Bantou walked up to Li You, knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted: "Ask Master Li to spare the villain!" ”

This is the common or standard face of the government service group, Li You's family has been a government officer for three generations, and he has seen a lot of it since he was a child.

Li You disdained to ignore Hu Bantou, but only stared at Hong to see what he had to say.

Hong Xun pondered for a moment and said: "I will make it clear that Hu Bantou has an outstanding daughter, who is twenty-eight years old, and is willing to give Master Li as a concubine and a maid." ”

The old servant next to him also nodded and said, "The old man has seen it, it's really good." ”

It is said that Hu Bantou didn't care after offending Li You, but he never thought that Governor Li suddenly turned over, he felt that he was blind, and he was very panicked, so he had to spend a lot of money to find Hong Patrol who had successfully burned the cold stove for help. Hong Xun came up with an idea and said, I heard that Governor Li is young and lustful, so he can start from here, which not only resolves the grievances but also brings the relationship closer, killing two birds with one stone.

So there is a scene where Hu Bantou sacrifices his daughter and begs for mercy. Governor Li was not happy and angry about this, and reprimanded: "Dog talent! Who are you to be a ruler? It's ridiculous and shameless, don't get out yet! ”

Li You's clichés are actually expected by Hong Patrol, who of the officials will not come to such a few words? Hu Bantou, who had been prepared for a long time, instructed in advance according to Hong Xun's arrest: "The adults misunderstood, the villain saw that the adults were not there, and there was no one around to take care of their daily lives, so they would inevitably delay their official business, so they were willing to send their daughter to wait." ”

"Are you really willing to send your daughter out of the house?" Li You asked lightly, as if he was still putting on a show.

Hu Bantou was overjoyed, thinking that Li You was moved, is there anything better than becoming a cheap old man of Lord Li? hurriedly replied: "Naturally, it is very willing." ”

Hong Patrol was secretly proud, and it was done, and everything went according to his design.

Li You raised his head and called the chief attendant who was guarding the door and said, "Zhang San!" Come here! ”

Zhang San respectfully walked over and saluted, "What do you command?" ”

"I heard that you have no children under your knees, how about I take a concubine for you, master?" Li Youdao said to Hong Patrol: "I'm tired of Hong Hunting Tou to match up with the matchmaker, and give Hu Bantou's daughter to me as a side house." ”

Hu Bantou's expression changed dramatically, what is this? It was clear that Master Li was humiliating him nakedly. What is Zhang San's identity, just a slave of the Li family. He Hu Bantou is also the head of the government office, and he promised his daughter to a slave, or a concubine of a slave, isn't it a great shame?

Seeing that there was an accident, Hong Xun said in his heart, Lord Xiao Li is not broad-minded, and it seems that he is very resentful. But there are still opportunities. He desperately gave Hu Bantou a look, but Hu Bantou couldn't understand.

So Hong Patrol couldn't care about being rude, stepped forward and pulled Hu Ban's head, pulled it a little farther away and whispered: "Lord Li seems to have a deep hatred for you, you have to let him lose his anger." How can my daughter give it away, what if she gives it to Zhang San, as long as she can let Master Li vent her hatred, how can she care a lot? If it weren't for that, with the current situation, Master Li could easily fix you to death, so what's the use of keeping your daughter? ”

Hu Bantou was silent for a while after being arrested and persuaded by Hong Xun, and said in his heart, as long as he can keep himself, what else can't he give up? He returned to Li You and whispered: "It is also a blessing for a little girl to be taken care of by adults. ”

Li You said: "Hu Bantou is very knowledgeable, now write the deed, Hong Patrol is a Chinese person, Zhang San will go and get a pen and paper!" ”

I saw that Zhang San smiled from ear to ear and picked up a concubine for nothing. He is an entourage, he can only watch the old man sleep outside the door, and all kinds of beauties throw themselves into his arms, as a man, it is impossible not to envy, and today can be regarded as getting some benefits from the old man's fingers.

After the deed was written, the Hu family's daughter promised Zhang San as a concubine, which became a foregone conclusion.

Although Hu Bantou was unwilling to accept his daughter's fate, he accepted the reality when he thought that he could free himself from the disaster. At this point, he was completely relieved, this difficulty is always over, as long as the people are still there, the errand is still there, it is good. He also handed Hong Patrol a grateful look, if there was no guidance, he might not be able to settle the matter, and he would like to thank him again.

At this time, I heard Li You ask Zhang Sandao: "Zhang San, your old man seems to be suspected of a warehouse case, and this official is very rare, what should I do?" ”

Everyone present was surprised when they heard this, and they didn't know how Master Li said this.

Zhang San has been with the master for so long, this tacit understanding is still there, and he said with a high consciousness: "The master is the master, and the Hu Zhangren is the elder, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, and the villain naturally follows the example of the sages and is loyal." ”

Li You sighed and wrote lightly: "You go and call the soldiers to come over and send the suspect Hu Bantou to prison, so that he can take care of it." "The soldiers in the government are all drawn from Xujiang County, and now they are under the control of Li You, so they can naturally be commanded.

Thinking that he had made another transaction, Hong Xunzhu was proud of his successful investment in the classic case of Master Li, and it was easy to do things with favors, but when he heard that Li You was going to put Hu Bantou in prison, he was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Lord Li, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li You took a deep look at Hong Xun and said, "This official needs to explain his thoughts to Hong Patrol?" ”

Hong Xunzhuo was terrified, knowing that Li You was dissatisfied with him for helping Hu Bantou play tricks, and quickly reviewed it in his heart. Since helping Master Li in an embarrassing moment that day, it seems to be a little drifting... He arched his hand and said, "I know that I am wrong." ”

Hu Bantou's skin and flesh trembled in fright, what was it like in prison, how could he not know? The death or life of those who are sent to prison is really a matter of the thoughts of those in power... Seeing the soldiers mercilessly dragging Hu Bantou away, everyone was stunned for a moment by Li You's ruthlessness. It's understandable to want to take revenge on Hu Bantou, but they all thought that they would stop there, and when Hu Bantou wanted to be safe and sound, he came to prison one by one... Then why do you deceive other people's daughters first? What did he do to give Hu Bantou the illusion and hope of salvation? Is it for a more enjoyable revenge?

These people are all husbands, and they are used to seeing shady scenes, and they can't help but feel palpitations for Li You's methods at this time.

Li You's treacherous and ruthless handling of Hu Bantou is, of course, not only to beat Hong Patrol, but also to kill chickens to show monkeys, establish his real prestige in the government, and make up for the negative impact of his lack of prestige caused by his long-term low-key.

What are the general characteristics of government servants? It can be described as bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, concealing the upper and lower, and being annihilated and slippery. In other words, the government group is a place where the law of the jungle is spoken. Fear of power can be virtuous, this is the right reason, the good man is simply not able to gain any prestige in the group of Xu Gong's completely scum character, and it is a joke to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

So Hu Bantou became Li You's demonstrator, and he used specific actions to inform the officials who were watching around the Tongzhi Hall - this official is ruthless and vicious enough, so it is not easy to provoke, you cheap servants are careful!

I have to say that the effect of this demonstration is not bad, after the news of Hu Bantou spread, the fear of Li You by the officials far exceeded that of another remnant official, Wang Tongzhi, countless times.
