Chapter 112: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
In the past two days, Li You has basically been in the inspection department for half and half in the county mansion. On this morning, when Li You was inspecting the affairs of the inspection department, a soldier suddenly came to report in a panic: "There are people in the town who are making trouble in Guanjiasi!" ”
Didn't they send soldiers to guard in shifts, and anyone else dared to provoke this? Inspector Li asked, "Who is so bold?" ”
"Allegedly from the Fucheng Weaving Bureau."
When Li You heard this, he got up and led people to the town. Such a big piece of fat is placed here, and it is expected to attract some flies, otherwise it would be so easy to make ten times the profiteering, but I didn't expect to really attract the famous Suzhou Weaving Bureau. But... Most of these tenfold profits were given to the prefect.
Speaking of this weaving bureau, the reputation in Suzhou is really loud enough, and sometimes it is also called the weaving and dyeing bureau. To put it simply, the palace sent materials for the royal office in Suzhou to make silk and satin, and also weaved a dragon robe or something, and by the way, there were some functions of managing craftsmen.
Before the Jiashen Rebellion, when the eunuch group was at its most powerful, the weaving eunuchs were arrogant and domineering in the palace, and the prefect had to pay money to welcome them. But now the eunuchs are weak, and they basically don't leave the palace in the capital, and the local weaving bureau is far from the majesty of the year, but compared with the inspection, it is also a thin camel bigger than a horse.
When I arrived at the silk market in the town, I went to the door of the Guanjia Silk Store and saw a few strangers inside, led by a man in his thirties wearing a green robe, who was tapping the counter and saying something.
Leaving the soldiers outside, Li You entered the house alone, and the shopkeeper of Silk Xingqiu saw the savior, stepped forward and said, "I have seen the inspection master." ”
Li You glanced at the people and said, "Someone reported to the official, what happened here?" ”
The shopkeeper Qiu complained: "These officials of the weaving bureau came in to see the account book of the official raw silk, and if they didn't show it, they would have to ask for half of the raw silk at a low price of 30%. ”
The blue-robed man turned to look at Li You and said, "The Inspection Department can also meddle in business matters?" Could it be that this silk shop was opened by the inspection department? ”
Li You sneered: "The Inspection Department does not do business, but it cannot ignore the things that force buying and selling, bullying and dominating the market in the market." ”
There was a servant dressed up next to him and reprimanded: "The Weaving Bureau procures materials, and idlers and miscellaneous people avoid!" ”
Inspector Li was furious. I don't know how to treat you well, and it's not impossible to say something to say, so it's no wonder if you don't feel comfortable. If the weaving eunuch comes in person, the official may have to keep his voice down, but what qualifications do you minions have to shout on the official's territory?
"Soldiers from outside, come in! Tie up these suspicious idlers to this official! Li You shouted.
The blue-robed man shouted loudly: "We are ordered to make royal things, and you dare to stop the emperor!" ”
"This official is under the law of the Ming Dynasty to protect the safety of one party, and there is no reason for the Son of Heaven to take advantage of it in person! There are all the witnesses, and you dare to prevaricate! Inspector Li said righteously, winning a round of applause from the audience who did not know the truth.
After a fight, more than a dozen soldiers of the Inspection Department captured five people from the Weaving Bureau and escorted them back to the prison of the Inspection Department. These people are still scolding and scolding, but in fact, they are not brain-dead people who have nothing to do... They were only sent to test the false.
After arresting these people, Li You was not too worried. First, there is the support of Master Chen, who has hands and eyes. The second is that most of the profits of the county's official raw silk are paid to the prefect, and the weaving bureau wants to get a piece of the pie, but it also depends on whether the prefect agrees or not.
However, you must quickly inform Chen Zhixian and ask him to transfer to the government. Whether it is refusal, concession or profit, settle the matter of the Weaving Bureau as soon as possible, otherwise he will have to bear the pressure.
So Li You got into a sedan chair and went straight to the county. I went to the county mansion to check the situation first, and the team in charge of guarding the patrol was telling him: "Today, the patrol press went to the county school to talk to the students, which seems to be very unfavorable to the master. ”
Li You wondered in his heart, Ma Xun was here for Chen Zhixian, and if he wanted to talk from the big-mouthed scholar, he should also ask Chen Zhixian about it, what is the use of looking for me? Besides, Master Huang should have arranged it in advance, how could there be a situation?
The team saw that Li You didn't believe it, so he said in detail: "The villain listened secretly, and the group of scholars accused the lord of being an official, repeatedly blatant and blatantly scooping, and may have robbed the people's daughters. They said very sourly, it sounded very interesting, according to the villain, they were jealous of the master, but Ma Xun seemed to be very depressed, unhappy. ”
Talents who should kill a thousand knives! How can it be such a coincidence, this must be Master Huang playing tricks... Li You guessed.
When he came to the county office again, Li Patrol found Master Huang and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, what's going on with the county school?" ”
Master Huang smiled and said, "A little thing has no real impact on you, so why worry about it." ”
"The old gentleman is really good at joking, and he really hasn't been there for a long time." Li You snorted coldly.
"You also know that the young juniors in these years always like to talk about the disadvantages of the times, discuss right and wrong, and form associations with each other in groups, which is also very difficult for me. There was an idea to use trivial things to divert their topic, such as gossip, which is estimated to be what they all like to talk about, and it is not lethal. It's better than asking them to talk about county politics and be caught by Ma Patrol to make a big fuss, so you don't have to worry too much. Mr. Huang patiently enlightened Li Patrol and said.
The method is the method, but the person who came up with the idea must teach him a lesson to the death, otherwise everyone can really open up the face of Li Patrol at will? Li You asked fiercely, "Who came up with the idea?" ”
"This person is Mr. Lee."
Mr. Lee? Li You was slightly stunned, only in the county government could he once afford this title? Now there's another one, his father... Master Huang continued: "Chen Zhixian also praised Ling Zun for his honesty and dedication despite his age, and his experience is commendable. There is a way to prevent the people from the mouth than to prevent Sichuan, and the road is better than to block, this idea is really good. Inspector Li's style of doing things is really the origin of family learning. ”
Li You was speechless, why his father, who had no background, was able to climb from an ordinary official to the head catcher position, and he had been working for more than ten years, and he finally had a faint understanding. A lot of people are so aggressive at an age, and for the sake of a compliment from the official, even their own son's face can be used, which official doesn't like such subordinates?
There was nothing to talk about with Master Huang, Li You got up and went to Chen Zhixian to talk about the Weaving Bureau.
Chen Zhixian saw Li You and said: "Don't complain with Ling Zun, it's all for the sake of business." The official saw that Ling Zun was diligent and sophisticated, and he was familiar with the county prison case, so he considered letting him be the official of this criminal state. ”
Li You shook his head and cried and laughed, Lao Ji was full of strength, it seems that his father is about to rejuvenate his career after he is stained, and the county will be promoted. I remembered that my father reprimanded me in front of the ancestral tablet for not wanting to forge ahead, and then looked at my father's non-stop fighting spirit at the age of fifty, there was really a gap.
"Feel free to dispose of the county, and the lower officials have something important to report this time. Today, it is said that someone from the weaving bureau went to the town to close the family silk line to cause an accident, how to ask the adults to show me. Li You said.
When Chen Zhixian heard this, he asked: "Are you sure it's the Suzhou Weaving Bureau?" ”
"Sure." Li You replied, and found that Chen Zhixian was happy, but he didn't applaud the case because he paid attention to his manners. I can't figure out why, is this something to be happy about? He also suggested: "Please also ask the county to tell the prefect that it would be better to settle the matter as soon as possible." ”
Chen Zhixian waved his hand, "Don't worry, what kind of person is coming this time?" ”
"It seems that there are several officials and servants in the Weaving Bureau, and there is a deputy envoy of the Weaving Bureau as the leader, and the lower officials have been taken into custody."
Chen Zhixian said regretfully: "Didn't the weaving eunuch come?" ”
The more Li You looked, the more he felt that something was wrong with Chen Zhixian, even if you have a deep background and are not afraid of weaving eunuchs, there is no need to be afraid that things are not big. Suggested again: "The county lord doesn't have to bother about this, just ask the prefect to come forward." ”
Chen Zhixian said: "What are you talking about, why do you need to find the prefect, is this official afraid of the eunuch party!" ”
Inspector Li can't understand this, no one said that you are afraid of them, why do you have to take care of things? Isn't being an official all about getting into less trouble and calming people, what kind of mentality is this? questioned: "The lower official doesn't understand what the county lord thinks..."
Chen Zhixian easily did not confide in his thoughts, but at this time, he also felt that he might as well make it clear to Li Patrol, and said leisurely: "The wind knows the strength of the grass." ”
Wind Knows Grass? Inspector Li lowered his head for a while, and finally realized the true meaning.
Sharp locks! Master Chen wants to make a name for himself by stepping on eunuchs... The idea is the same as his plagiarism of poetry, all for the sake of fame.
As a civil official with ideals and ambitions, Master Chen needs to show his righteousness. But how does this thing manifest itself? Isn't it just by stepping on the powerful throughout the ages? The problem is that if you really want to contradict the powerful, the side effects are too great to play like this, but eunuchs are different.
The image of eunuchs and eunuchs is now rotten and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the reputation of weaving eunuchs in Suzhou for 200 years is even worse, and it is definitely not something that can be reversed in ten or eight years. To put it bluntly, stepping on eunuchs is an excellent way to gain prestige from the civil servants and doctors to the masses of the people.
Of course, there is also a problem of power comparison, Li Inspector has to have the courage to step on the weaving eunuchs, and the result can only be brushed up by the eunuchs... However, when it was replaced by Chen Zhixian, the effect was obviously very different. There is still a subconscious in people's minds that the eunuch power was prominent back then, but in fact, it is far from it now, at least Chen Xianzun is not afraid, so is there a better object for him to brush his prestige.
In one sentence to express the mood of Master Chen, that is: I am afraid that the weaving eunuch will not come!
Li You sighed in his heart, our small inspection sometimes can't understand the chest pattern of the Qipin Jinshi County Order. The county is going to open the protagonist mode, deliberately pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the weaving eunuch probably doesn't know the background of Chen Zhixian, so he dares to hit the idea of raw silk in this county.
Who do the eunuchs want to step on in Chen Zhi County? "Xia Guan came up with an idea to lure the weaving eunuch over?" Li You figured out Shangguan's thoughts, and secretly had some ideas.
Chen Zhixian nodded, and said nothing verbally, but his face was full of praise and expectation.
Li You said fiercely: "If you don't do anything, why don't you make the scene bigger and completely solve all the problems?" ”
Chen Zhixian was stunned, and out of trust in Li You, he let him go to Zhang Luo.
