The treatment that Governor Li received in the county government was very different from that of the government office, and all kinds of people greeted him warmly along the way, until he entered the official office of Chen Zhixian.

In the room, Chen Zhixian was discussing things with Master Huang, and Master Huang saw Li You and smiled: "Rare guests, isn't this Lord Li of the Imperial Palace." ”

Li You saw Chen Zhixian, and sat down to greet a few words before he said: "I came here today to inspect Xishui Jiang, and I also asked the county to be the master." ”

After that, Li You roughly recounted the matter of Jiang's inspection, but did not mention the matter of the granary of Fucheng, and he still had the intention of observing Chen Zhixian's attitude towards him, to see if it was cold and perfunctory or everything was still the same.

"It's a small thing, you don't have to worry." Chen Zhixian did not act at all, and agreed very neatly.

Li You said inch by inch: "I also asked the county to issue a sign and detain Jiang for inspection." ”

Chen Zhixian frowned and said: "How can you be so narrow-minded, this is a bit too much, and it is really inappropriate to make a big deal for some trivial things." ”

It is not impossible for a magistrate to go to the inspection under the detention rule, but he needs to have a suitable enough reason, otherwise the crime of imprisoning the imperial court official without reason is enough for him to eat a pot, so Chen Zhixian will politely refuse.

Master Huang secretly said that Li You is definitely not a person who is so confused that he thinks about it, and it seems that there is something to say in the middle, so he said: "What does Master Li mean, just say it clearly." ”

"Because Jiang Patrol was implicated in a shocking case in the city." Li You said that he had just stepped into the topic, and told the Gusucang matter as it was, and pointed out the matter of the collective involvement of the government and the government, implying that Chen Zhixian could participate through Jiang Patrol.

Hearing this somewhat unbelievable but it could make the heads of officials fall to the ground, Chen Zhixian and Master Huang were both moved, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

"Is this really the case?" Chen Zhixian confirmed.

"It's true, if the county doesn't believe it, Jiang Patrol can be tortured, and there must be a confession as evidence."

Master Huang suddenly interjected and said, "What does the affairs in the city have to do with the county? There is no need to take risks. This means that Chen Zhixian was prevented from interfering.

Li You didn't expect Master Huang to object, "Master's words are wrong, at that time, the city was empty, and the county respected made a contribution, wouldn't there be an opportunity for promotion?" Besides, this matter can make the county win a clear hope, why not. ”

Master Huang turned his head to Chen Zhixian and said: "First, this case is unpredictable, why should the county be involved, just protect your innocence." Second, the county has Xu Shangshu to take care of, and if you seek stability, you can be promoted, and it is really the next policy to take risks. Third, even if it is successful, the county will not be able to promote the fourth-grade prefect, and the other miscellaneous officials are not worthy of the identity of the county honor. The vision of the county can not only be placed in this prefecture and county, the future should be in the temple, and the next step is to be promoted to the ministry. ”

What Master Huang said was meticulous and reasonable, and Li You didn't know how to refute it for a while, also because he was too careless this time. In the past, Li You offered advice and did everything, but this time he was a little sloppy in his heart, so he didn't think about encountering rebuttals, so he didn't prepare his words carefully, and now he was caught off guard by Master Huang.

But it seems that what Master Huang said is quite right, why should Chen Zhixian take the risk of wading into troubled waters. Moreover, Master Huang's words almost made it clear that this was someone Li who used the county as an arrow. Li You found that he was a little wishful thinking, and the past was too smooth to underestimate others. This may be a trivial matter for Chen Zhixian, but for him it is a major matter related to his vital interests. Is it just a matter of watching? Continue to sit down on the cold bench?

When Li Youzheng had nothing to do, he only heard the sound of "pop", but it was Chen Zhixian who took the case and said: "What have my generation of scholars learned?" Xianxianyun: Iron shoulders bear morality, and spicy hands write articles. The subsections may be arbitrary, but how can the righteousness be pretended to be confused? There are rats in the house swallowing warehouses, the price of rice has risen three times, and the victims of the disaster in the spring of next year have no food and clothing. Although this official has no position or power, he cannot tolerate their annihilation of evil spirits, so how can he stay out of the matter and pretend to be deaf and dumb? ”

Chen Zhixian's generous statement made Li You, who was almost desperate, suddenly desperate, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, it was really a blue sky! almost shouted, "The county can't be honored, like the common people!" He glanced at Master Huang proudly.

Master Huang was still in a daze, and was pulled out of the county magistrate's office by Li You. The county has made a decision, and the two of them should discuss the details.

When he arrived in his public house, Master Huang stroked his forehead with his hand and realized: "I just remembered that Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials exchanged letters with the county honor, and he once mentioned that he had a dislike with Yuan Ge, and this old man was a fellow villager with Mao Zhifu..."

Yes? The idol that Li Yougang had set up in his heart was shattered, "Could it be that the county is for this reason?" ”

Master Huang shook his head and sighed, "Maybe it is, maybe not." True and false, false and true, what the county respects thinks, even I can't see through it. Whatever the reason, you're lucky enough. ”

Li You diverted from the conversation and said: "I want to find some inside lines from the Inspection Department and weave some charges for Jiang Inspection, so that the county will have a reason, and wait for me to work hard." ”

Master Huang sneered: "Little family, do you need to be so careful?" I have my own opinions, and you have to ask me to do something. ”

Li You asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Invite him to drink. But you should not come forward, and if you do so, it will not work. Master Huang said.

On the second day, Master Huang invited Jiang to eat and drink, and when Jiang saw that the county staff invited him to dinner, he naturally gladly accepted the invitation. When he arrived at the banquet, Master Huang tried his best to persuade him to drink, and Jiang Inspector was flattered and drunk, and he didn't know anything.

When Inspector Jiang woke up again, he found that he was in prison and had been put in prison, and he was inexplicable and shocked. After shouting a few times, I didn't see any jailers coming, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Yesterday, Master Huang poured him wine and put him in prison when he was drunk, what was he for?

When Inspector Jiang saw Master Huang approaching the prison door, he asked, "Although he is a humble and an official of the imperial court, what does the old gentleman want?" ”

Master Huang scolded: "Master Jiang! I wanted to be friendly with you, but who knew that you had committed the great crime of embezzling official food! It's not an exaggeration for the county to order you to be detained! ”

Inspector Jiang was shocked: "How can you say this? ”

Master Huang sneered a few times, "Yesterday, you spit out the truth after drinking, and the Tao is how many warehouses of rice you have eaten in Fucheng, but there is one at this time?" ”

At first glance, when he heard Master Huang reveal this matter, Jiang Xunjian was shocked and dizzy, how did Master Huang know about this? Did you really drink too much and say it?

"At this point, you will tell the truth, if you can't hide it, Chen Xianzun may be able to intercede for you." Master Huang said.

In the end, Jiang Inspector still confessed.

No wonder Master Huang didn't let Li You show up, if Li You appeared here, Jiang Inspector would definitely suspect that Li You learned about it from some source in the mansion, and he would probably deny it with a dead duck's mouth. But if he hears that this incident is exposed from his own mouth, the psychological shock is even greater, and it is easy for him to confess.
