Impulsiveness always has to return to reason, Li You got dressed in the dark and went to walk around the door. After making sure that there was no one around, he returned to the room and said to his aunt: "There is no one outside." ”

Aunt Fu also slowly put on her dress, got out of bed and said to Li You: "I don't see anyone in the dark tonight, and it's not very cool to think about my little brother." If you want to choose another secluded place, the concubine has nothing to do. ”

Li You was very shamefully silent, there was really no visual effect at all tonight, at this time, he imagined in his mind the picture of the plump and well-proportioned Aunt Fu crawling naked and bare her breasts and bowing her head to taste the flute, and he actually had a sense of anticipation.

How can I be like this, Li You despised himself in his heart.

When Aunt Fu was leaving, she remembered something and said, "Little brother, your thing is big enough, and when it softens, it also has the length of the concubine's palm." ”

Li You heard the meaning of these words.

By dawn, Li You's psychological quality was not strong enough to see his father-in-law calmly after he had just married Aunt Fu. I didn't go to say goodbye, I stood in the front yard and sent someone to call Liu Niangzi to go home together, and after waiting for a while, Liu Niangzi and Mei Zhi came out from behind to meet Li You.

That Mei Zhi is also often forced to have some relationships by Li You on behalf of the master, and she is very familiar and sensitive to the old man inside and out. At this time, when he saw Li You, he felt that something was wrong, he glanced at Li You's clothes twice, and sniffed at the old man after getting closer, and immediately said angrily: "The master is really faceless and skinless!" At my father-in-law's house, I don't retreat. ”

Master Li, who was weak-hearted, was startled, how could he be seen through when he met someone? Hurriedly changed the topic and scolded: "You lazy, it took half a day to come out, hurry up, master, I still have big things to do." ”

Mei Zhi turned her head and said to Mrs. Liu: "Miss, the master secretly went out to spend all the time last night, and maybe he wrote some unashamed poems to the scratching woman who didn't know where." ”

Hearing this, Li Youcai relieved himself, it doesn't matter if he was wronged for picking wildflowers, he has been wronged a lot this time, as long as he doesn't suspect that he was being in Liu's mansion.

Li You went home to change his clothes, instructed Guan Xiurust to ask the silk account office to prepare the silver, and then went to the county office.

At this time, Chen Zhixian was there, and after listening to Li You's intentions, he said: "It's a good thing to change your position to you, but it's a pity that you can't serve in this Xujiang County, so it's okay for you to go to the house." ”

Li You saw that Chen Zhixian agreed, and he was about to leave.

Chen Zhixian wanted to speak and stopped, and solemnly bowed his hand to Li You. He wanted to help Li You, but Li You's position was too humble, and it was a joke to alarm the Ministry of Officials for the sake of the Jiupin Miscellaneous Officials, and the face of the Ministry of Officials could not be so worthless. What's more, the ministry let the government circulate on its own, and the speed of this exchange is fast, and it is estimated that it can be completed within a month, and the capital is too far away after all, and when he and the teacher complete the correspondence, the matter will already be a foregone conclusion.

On the other hand, Chen Zhixian himself is only a seven-pin Zhixian county who has served for one year, and the county can say everything he wants, but he has no influence to interfere with the circulation of official positions in the government. Thinking about the many credits that Li You has made to himself, Chen Zhixian can only give up his gratitude and wait for the report.

In the evening of that day, Li You took a team of soldiers, escorted thousands of taels of silver, and sailed to Fucheng at night. On the morning of the second day, we arrived at the canal outside the gate of Fucheng. There are nine gates in the city, and the gate is the most prosperous. This gate is bordered by the canal, and the inner and outer vicinity is the most prosperous place in the city, and you can understand it by reading Tang Bohu's poems.

Li Inspector had never entered the richest city in the world in his life, and it was difficult for people of that era in his previous life to imagine the unique position of Suzhou Mansion in this dynasty, but as long as he remembered the two tenths, he could understand a little. There are a total of 159 prefectures and 34 prefectures of Zhili, among the nearly 200 prefectures, a prefecture in Suzhou contributed one-tenth of the world's taxes, and the examination gave one-tenth of the world's champions.

Excluding the politically significant north and south capitals, Suzhou Fucheng is a well-deserved first capital of this dynasty. If you use the rhetoric of Li Inspector in his previous life, Suzhou is the center of the country's economy, culture, industry, commerce, fashion, etc., except for politics.

The last time Li You went to Tiger Hill, he didn't enter the city. He originally thought that Xujiang County was already a prosperous place in ancient times, but now he found that compared with Fucheng, Xujiang County is still much worse, no wonder it can only be called Xiaogusu.

However, Li inspected the uncertain future, was in an uncertain mood, and was not interested in seeing the scenery, so he only went straight to the government under the guidance of the old soldiers, wanting to arrive before noon.

Most of the government offices in the city are located in the south of the city, and the government office is no exception. Its gate regulation is more lofty and open than Xujiang County, there is a memorial arch, on both sides is the world's crow-like black eight-character wall, and the door is open to the south, which is in response to the proverb of "Yamen eight-character to the south, there is no reason to come in without money". Outside the gate, it is very lively, and the business of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, gunner, broker, tea stall is very prosperous.

Inspector Li led his soldiers to carry the box through the gate, and when he got inside, Li You ordered his subordinates to wait in the outer courtyard, only led the chief to follow Zhang San to continue to walk inside, and then passed through the Yi Gate, and entered the front yard of the main hall - the guard at the gate saw that Li You was wearing an official robe, so he did not stop him. In the front yard to see the lobby in the middle, there are push officials, experience two halls, the lobby outside the corridor is where the six rooms of the government are located.

Li You didn't stop, and walked around the main hall to the backyard. Why is Inspector Li so familiar with the first time he enters the government? It's really because it's no coincidence that the layout of the yamen of the pro-people officials in various places is similar, and they can be found by walking around.

When he arrived in the backyard, there was a curfew to stop Li You, and his identity as a small patrol was useless. Li You took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to Menzi, and asked, "Is Master Zhang here?" ”

This master Zhang is the staff of the prefect's invitation. Li You learned from the person who sent the silver last time that the procedures for these extraordinary cases of money issued by Xujiang County to the prefect without leaving the bank treasury were all directly signed by Master Zhang, and his curtain hall was in this backyard.

When Menzi got enough silver, he spoke very well, and said truthfully: "This lord is early. Master Zhang went out to visit friends, and it will take some time to return to the ya, so it is better to come back later. ”

Li You had no choice but to go back to the outer courtyard to meet his subordinates and wait, and he was bored to study the calligraphy of the ring stone inscription in the courtyard, which read the words "Erfeng Erlu people, fat people, and people under the ointment, easy to abuse and difficult to deceive", and almost every yamen has a similar piece. History is always strikingly similar, and Li You remembered that in his previous life, many yamen doors had a slogan to serve the people.

"Isn't Master Li here in front of you?" Suddenly, someone greeted Li Youdao.

Li You looked back, it turned out to be Wang Lao Tongzhi, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "I've seen Master Tongzhi." ”

Lao Tongzhi smiled: "Why is Master Li here? ”

Li You replied: "Escort Yin Liang over and wait for Master Zhang here." ”

"Why don't you go to the official for tea and chat, and wait by the way." Wang Tongzhi warmly invited.

Li You thought that it was boring to be miserable here, and it was better to go and chat with Wang Tongzhi, so he agreed.

The Tongzhi of this government did not go out to build a bureau, but only set up a separate courtyard on the left side of the government office, and similarly there was a general judgment hall in the courtyard on the right.

Li You saw that there were contacts in other places in the government office, and when he arrived at the Tongzhi Hall, it was a spectacle. Xindao This Wang Tongzhi is really a superb, his old man is nominally the second in command of the government, the deputy of the prefect, how incompetent can he be to be like this? Zhou County, who has a similar status in Xujiang County, was squeezed like that by himself, and he was not so miserable in the county office.

Wang Tongzhi is bored and looking for someone to talk to pass the time? Li You thought.

After the only scribe in the Tongzhi Hall served tea to Li Inspection, Wang Tongzhi said: "I heard that the inspection has been changed to a miscellaneous official circulation, and Master Li is leaving his hometown, so I am afraid that he will not be as comfortable as before." ”

Li You sighed: "This is secondary, and the most feared thing is that the new job is unsatisfactory." ”

Wang Tongzhi said with emotion: "The old man also started as a miscellaneous official, and he knows the five flavors well. Although Changdao miscellaneous jobs are better than martial arts, Master Li does not have any fame, and it is inevitable that he will sink into subordinates when he comes out to be an official, and it is really better to be a patrol inspector in his hometown. ”

What Wang Tongzhi said was not unreasonable, but Li You was not very worried. For the prefect, the most worry-free and labor-saving way for this transfer is that the county inspections are exchanged with each other, which not only satisfies the requirement that they are not allowed to be officials in their own county, but also does not need to implicate other positions. At that time, the worst consequence is nothing more than that the place assigned is not good, and there is no chance of promotion, but is there a "bad" place in the bustling and wealthy Suzhou Mansion in the absolute sense?

After chatting for a while, I heard that Master Zhang had returned to the Ya, and Li You immediately said goodbye to Wang Tongzhi and went to pay the silver.

After paying the silver at Master Zhang's place and receiving the return ticket, Inspector Li still wanted to stammered with Master Zhang, but the other party had a cold attitude and sent the guest directly, asking Li You to ask for a big boring, so he had to go out.

This time I came out and met someone I knew in the courtyard, that is, the Hong patrol who was humiliated a few months ago for the scoundrel of Fucheng who bargained with him in the inspection department... Inspector Li cheered up and prepared to deal with it.

"Isn't this Lord Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's been good lately." Hong Patrol was very enthusiastic and stepped forward to salute.

This attitude surprised Li You, shouldn't he and himself have a dislike for each other? On his turf again, how do you act like an old friend?

Hong Xunzhu seemed to understand what Li You was thinking, and said with a smile: "I have always believed that trading is not benevolent and righteous, and I didn't negotiate a business with Master Li last time, so it's just a matter of being angry for a while, maybe there will be a chance to partner in the future." You and I don't have a life-and-death enmity, so why should we have a grudge that outweighs the loss? It seems that Master Li still doesn't know who he is. ”

Li You secretly thought that this person was very lively, maybe he would be able to pass through some doorways, so he said: "Seeing noon, I will invite you to eat and drink as the host, and I have something to ask, and I hope to give me advice, and I will be grateful at that time." "Li You brought two hundred taels of silver, which was to be used for activities in Fucheng.

Immediately found a restaurant nearby and entered the small room. Li You is not familiar with Fucheng, and it is still the place where Hong patrols are looking for it.

After three rounds of drinking, Inspector Li said that he was going to be transferred. After hearing this, Hong Xun thought about it and asked, "You have a good relationship with Wang Tongzhi?" ”

Li You replied: "I know, I just went to the Tongzhi Hall to sit down and drink tea and chat, and I can't count on him to see the situation." ”

Hong Patrol exclaimed: "What? Did you go to him? ”

Li You is very strange, what is there to be surprised about.

Hong Xunzhu shook his head and sighed: "Lord Li, I can't earn your benefits. If you get into trouble with Wang Tongzhi, you will definitely have something bad. Outsiders don't know, but the people in the government know that from the prefect to the experience of Zhaoxiao, other officials and masters reject Wang Tongzhi, especially Master Zhang hates him the most. If you don't know the inside story and get close to Wang Tongzhi, you will inevitably be unlucky. You might as well not come to the government. ”

Li You was dumbfounded, he came to run the official but ran wrong?
