Lord Li's history was too dazzling, so he almost swore to write a letter of guarantee, which dispelled the doubts of his fellow party members and said goodbye to each other and went home

On the way, Li You couldn't help muttering. Could it be that the purpose and significance of today's gathering is that the party members are trying to stop him?

His gang of comrades were all born on the right path, and the road was smooth and smooth, which was naturally different from the alternative path that Lord Li had traveled all the way full of thorns.

But if he didn't overcome the thorns and thorns and go straight upstream, now he Li You is only afraid that he will still be in Suzhou Mansion as a little governor sitting on the cold bench, and he will be found by the prefect to lose his hair when he can't do it.

The next day, others went to court in the cold wind in the dark, and Li You patrolled the city in the warm sedan chair in the dark.

Out of the house, Master Li yawned lazily and dozed off in the tight sedan chair. There were hundreds of sergeants outside, and when he was in a situation, he would naturally wake him up.

Besides, he is on behalf of the imperial court to patrol the city, there is a guard of honor given by the Son of Heaven, and other ministers on the way, so he doesn't have to think about etiquette or avoidance, which is very worry-free, and he doesn't have to worry about being called frequently.

Compared with the hard work of eating and drinking, Lord Li is comfortable and can be called the difference between heaven and earth, so it is really not unreasonable that he has been violently complained about and envied, jealous and hated countless times by officials in the capital recently.

It's a pity that not everyone is qualified to be expelled from the court by Yuan Ge Elder himself... What is even more regrettable is that it is difficult to find a way to avoid the pilgrimage and not lose the holy favor and prestige. After all, for ordinary Beijing officials, being dismissed from the court is equivalent to losing power.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven was kidnapped by the ministers and the ancestors of the law to be diligent and responsible, and the emperor suffered every 369 days (more than 100 years ago, he should theoretically look at the court every day). Of course, it is necessary to suffer together, and it will not be easy for the minister to be comfortable.

With the pace of the sedan chair man, the sedan chair shook rhythmically, which was most suitable for napping, and Li You was sweetly immersed in the feeling of returning to the cage.

"Sir? Master? ”

The familiar soft voice woke Li You from his sleep, and in a daze, he felt that it seemed to be the voice of Han Zong. He opened his eyes and looked at the car window, and the sound was from the other end of the curtain. That is, it came from the cold outside world.

Master Li coughed heavily, and after Han Zong heard it outside, he naturally knew that the master had come to his senses. Hurriedly took a step closer and reported: "Master, someone is blocking the street to complain." How is it good to also advise! ”

Oh? Lord Li first wondered for a moment in his brief distraction after waking up, the time of his tour of the city was the same as the time of the court meeting, and the characteristic was that it was very early. In the early morning of this winter, someone was willing to get out of the hot quilt and ran to the street to block him, the admiral of the five cities, to complain, there must be a great grievance.

Then he remembered that this was the first time he had been stopped and complained about since he took office, and he couldn't handle it too hastily. Strictly speaking, it is illegal for the people to stop officials in sedan chairs to file complaints. But that's not the case.

How to deal with it is very particular, and what is near is not inferior to what is far away. If you really get off the sedan chair and ask questions cordially like in the brain-dead TV series, then it's over, don't go out in the future, the people who complain will block you from the door of the house to the door of the yamen.

But the performance is too cold. It's not a good thing, not to mention that Lord Li's new official hasn't been in office for a long time, and it's a sensitive time.

Li You was thinking about whether to ask on the street to show his image of being close to the people, or to send someone to wait at the yamen with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, or to ask him to go to the city patrol in charge of the cities to complain, when he heard Han Zong's report outside the window: "The little one has come forward to see it." Listening to the accent is a Xujiang person. ”

This is a very important piece of information, and Li You immediately ordered: "This official must get off the sedan chair!" ”

These years are very nostalgic, if Lord Li shows a little indifference, he will definitely be poked in the backbone, and it is not good to send it back to Xujiang County. Besides, those who can come to the capital more than 2,000 miles away from Xujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture to beg for a living, and have the heart to sue, it is estimated that they are not particularly low-level people. …,

After Li You got off the sedan chair, the front messenger automatically divided a passage and tightly escorted Master Li forward.

A man wrapped in a thick winter coat, a cloak and a hood over his head knelt in the middle of the road, his hands red from the cold held high.

At the signal of Li Baixian, the messenger took the form. At the same time as Li You took the complaint, he casually instructed the bitter master who complained: "Raise your head! "Observing the words and expressions of the plaintiff and the defendant is the basic skill of the criminal officer, and many details are in the expressions of the characters.

The bitter lord raised his head, and the hood attached to the cloak fell, revealing the face of a beautiful woman with melon seeds, about thirty years old.

Li You was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, he stared at her and looked at her, and saw that this woman couldn't help but be shy, her ears were red and her face was red, and she lowered her head.

In the end, Master Li remembered. Ninety percent of the women he knows in Xujiang County are prostitutes, and there are not many women from good families. The temperament of the woman in front of her is obviously from a good family, so the range of memories is very narrow, and she remembers it when she uses her brain.

"Aren't you the goddess of the City God Temple? How did you get to Jingshi? Li You asked in surprise.

In the sixth year of Jinghe, when he was still the history of the county yadian, he was appointed by Chen Zhixian to be responsible for asking for rain. The county Chenghuang Temple planned to hold a spiritual parade street, and the temple Zhu asked his wife to come to the county government to find him Li You to dredge the joints with her beauty. This Han Niangzi is the wife of the temple of the City God, and she is usually responsible for receiving female guests in the temple, so she is called Han Shenpo.

Li You also remembered that Miaozhu seemed to be surnamed Dai. And in that year, Dai Miaozhu had just made proper preparations, and was about to parade through the street to beg for rain in high spirits, when he Li You kicked the statue of the dragon king, and it rained, and the street parade ceremony came to an abrupt end very sadly.

The officers and sergeants next to him saw Master Li's slightly distracted appearance, and couldn't help whispering, could it be that Li Yanxian's old friend when he didn't make a career in his hometown came to the door? Although he is a few years older, his physical appearance is attractive enough, and at that time, Lord Li was at least lustful and didn't necessarily care.

Li You subconsciously asked, only to find out that it was inappropriate, and it was too undignified to have a family affair with a beautiful woman in full view of everyone on the street, and it was not good to find a scandal for himself.

Hurriedly assigned a few people, and ordered Han Shenpo to be sent to the government office, and returned to the government office after the city patrol was completed, and then officially promoted to the court for interrogation.

Then Master Li continued to patrol the city and took a brief look at the situation in the sedan chair. It turned out that Han Shenpo and her husband Dai Gongzhu trafficked goods to Jingshi, but all the customs outside Chongwen Gate were confiscated, and Mr. Dai was also arrested by the Xuanjiao Division, so the lawsuit was brought to him.

Thinking of this Han Shenpo's complaint, Master Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. Obviously, this is the tax customs slaughtering the fat sheep, investigating and dealing with the matter, and rehabilitating after identifying the wrongs, will definitely be able to attract praise in Beijing, and he also needs this reputation when he first takes office. There is a large flow of people in the Chongwenmen area, and news will spread quickly.

But the complainant is a beautiful woman, so being in charge of her is a bit of a bad thing, and it is easy to spread scandals. I heard that there used to be a so-called "Qing official" who cherished feathers, and when he saw a beautiful woman complaining, he first beat him to death without pity, so as not to incur unfavorable comments on himself.

Without mentioning the gossip, after going around the imperial city, Master Li completed the task of patrolling the city and returned to the government office. First, I swept all the documents of today to make sure that there was nothing too important, and then I ordered the promotion to the church.

When the Han family was waiting in the government office, he did not suffer any crime, and the officials in the government were careful to provide for it. Otherwise, the beautiful woman entered the yamen, and it was too commonplace to be teased for a few words.

After going to the court, Lord Li exempted Mrs. Han from the ceremony, took out the appearance of official business, and shouted: "My dynasty has set up five cities to divide the imperial history, correct the ground officials and soldiers of the Beijing Division, and accept the Beijing Division's lawsuits. If you have a grievance, you can go to the Nancheng Imperial History Office to complain, and it is really inappropriate to intercept this official! ..., Han Shi complained softly: "The tax customs is unreasonable, and the women have no choice but to hand over the complaint to the Nancheng Procuratorate, but they are scolded by the imperial history for being stubborn and having nothing to do, and they are driven out." When the guild hall was desperate, after the guidance of his fellow villagers, he learned that the eldest lord had newly appointed the governor of the five cities, and he would patrol the city every morning and sun, so he dared to stop the sedan chair today. ”

Li You's heart moved, and he asked, "Is Nancheng Yushi really so rash?" ”

"What the women say, everything is true, how dare you deceive the lord."

Since Lord Li took office, the eastern, western, and northern cities have been quite submissive, only the middle city and the south city have been estranged, but he doesn't want to be too tough for the time being, and he just can't bear it until he has a suitable opportunity. Now when I heard about Han's matter, I suddenly felt that it was an opportunity to attack.

said with a pleasant face: "It's not easy to go out, for the sake of the friendship of fellow villagers, this official will definitely not ignore it." You can tell you what happened to you, and this is written in detail. ”

Han Shi was overjoyed, and his face became a little vivid: "The woman and her husband are in the temple to congratulate, and the eldest lord also knows." But at the beginning of the year, he made a mistake and was dismissed by the county to go to the temple, and the family had no livelihood for a while, so the husband had to engage in business, sold the silk and satin with the capital, and came to this Beijing to sell, and the women followed him. ”

"When I went to Chongwen Gate to file a tax return, the master of the Xuanjiao Division sent fifty of us and other businessmen, and jointly listed tax bills and inspected the goods in one place..."

Li You thought, this is quite convenient, and it is better to pass the customs one by one than one by one.

Na Han continued: "But the tax customs is a joint law, and if one of the fifty people misses the goods, the goods of the fifty families will be confiscated together, and my family will suffer this unwarranted disaster. At that time, someone was found to have omitted to report a piece of goods, and the masters of the Xuanjiao Division couldn't help but say that all the goods of 50 people including us were confiscated. ”

Li You was speechless, he took it for granted, and he actually thought that the fifty-person joint order was for the convenience of the people. He really shouldn't have overestimated the moral qualities of the tax officials, but fortunately he didn't make his thoughts public, otherwise it would be a shameful thing.

"That goods are where my family's livelihood is, and my husband quarreled with the master of the Xuanjiao Division, so he was taken down on the spot and has been in a hurry to this day. The women really have nothing to do, so I implore the eldest lord to save my husband for the sake of his fellow villagers, and my family is willing to repay me for being a cow and a horse! Mrs. Han said, got up and kowtowed repeatedly.

"This official is approved!" Li You said in a loud voice. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
