Chapter 9 Painstaking Efforts
Because of this, Li Yuntian took Luo Ming on this trip, wanting to test the relationship between him and Zhang Youde, to see if the two really had grievances with each other like the news that Li Manshan inquired about, and at the same time to see if this person's character could be used by him in the future.
A must-have for chasing books
Now it seems that Li Manshan's news should be accurate, Luo Ming really has a grudge against Zhang Youde, which made Zhang Youcai arrested.
As for the 30 boards, Liu Bo was not wronged, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if he wants to overturn the case that has been decided, then whether the complainant is justified or not, and whether the official accepts the case or not, the person who filed the complaint will be subjected to 30 boards.
On the wharf, a group of well-dressed people were waiting next to the big boat that Li Yuntian was on, they were the squires and businessmen of Baishui Town, and they came here to greet him after learning that Li Yuntian was trying the case in the restaurant.
"Chen Bozhao, a student of Baishui Town, has met the magistrate." A burly and elegant middle-aged man in brocade with a Chinese character face led everyone up with a smile on his face and bowed to Li Yuntian.
The student is a showman, belongs to the scholar class, and has the privilege of not kneeling when he sees the official.
"What do you have to do with Chen Shengyuan?" Li Yuntian bowed his head slightly and looked at him quietly.
The last time he took a concubine, Li Yuntian saw Chen Bozhao, and because Zhang Youde was by his side at that time, the two only had a few words.
Now he somewhat understands why Chen Bozhao arranged for Liu Bo to go to the restaurant to complain, firstly, to stumble on the Zhang family, and secondly, to use this as an opportunity to contact himself openly, so it seems that this person has some ability.
"The adults are new science and technology scholars, full of wealth, the local students have admired for a long time, has not had the opportunity to meet, when the adults are privately visited, I don't know if I can go to the academy to guide those students, so that they can learn from it." Chen Bozhao smiled slightly and said aloud in an orderly manner.
"It is the duty of the official to supervise the county's school administration, and since you have come here, then the official will follow you to see how the local students are doing." Li Yuntian didn't expect Chen Bozhao to use such a high-sounding excuse to keep people, which not only slapped him on the back, but also made him difficult to refuse, so he couldn't help but glance at Chen Bozhao in his heart, and agreed with a smile.
"Your Excellency, please." The corners of Chen Bozhao's mouth showed a subtle smile, bowed down and made a gesture of please, and led Li Yuntian to the academy in the town.
The academy in Baishui Town was founded by several large families in Baishui Town, and has a history of more than 40 years.
Knowing that Li Yuntian, a new science and technology scholar, was coming to guide his studies, the students in the academy were extremely excited, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at him.
Li Yuntian was able to rank second in the palace examination, and he not only checked the students' studies, but also instructed them on how to write articles, which benefited the students a lot.
Outside the study room, Chen Bozhao and others stood in front of the window and looked at Li Yuntian who was surrounded by students in the middle in surprise.
They originally thought that Li Yuntian's coming to the academy was just a formality, and he just left after a few words, but they didn't expect him to guide those students so carefully.
"Brother Chen, it seems that our county master is really a little different." After a long time, a middle-aged man with a mustache came to Chen Bozhao, who was staring at Li Yuntian intently, and said in a low voice with a smile.
"To be named a jinshi by the emperor is not a general." Chen Bozhao smiled and replied a little absent-mindedly.
Judging from Li Yuntian's kind and intimate attitude towards those students, he keenly felt that Li Yuntian was a kind person by nature, after all, Li Yuntian had just set foot in officialdom and had not yet been infected by some unhealthy tendencies in officialdom.
If you can make good use of it, maybe it can help him achieve great things......
Facing the young county master in front of him, Chen Bozhao couldn't help but feel a trace of expectation in his heart.
Unconsciously, a piece of sunset appeared in the sky in the distance, and under the illumination of the golden sunset, Chen Bozhao and others seemed to be covered with a layer of golden veil, shining.
Chen Bozhao had already prepared a dinner party, and after leaving the academy, Li Yuntian happily went to the banquet, and the famous squires and businessmen in Baishui Town accompanied them one after another, and it was an honor for them to be able to accompany the county master to dinner.
Although Li Yuntian was able to speak well in the academy, he seemed a little clumsy when he arrived at the wine table, and rarely spoke, which made the atmosphere a little dull and depressing.
After the dinner, Li Yuntian originally planned to go back to the big ship for the night, but Chen Bozhao warmly invited him to Chen's Mansion to rest on the grounds that the night boat was bumpy.
Chen Bozhao cleaned up the largest courtyard in the house as Li Yuntian's residence, and cleaned it cleanly, and the bedding and teacups and other items were all brand new, which shows that he attached great importance to Li Yuntian's stay this time.
"Master, Chen Shengyuan is the sworn enemy of Secretary Zhang, will you spend the night here arouse the suspicion of Secretary Zhang?"
When going to bed at night, Lu Calyx asked worriedly while giving Li Yuntian a wide coat, she had heard from Li Yuntian about the festivals of the Chen family and the Zhang family.
"It just has to make him nervous, otherwise he will think that my lord and I will leave him in Hukou County." Li Yuntian smiled slightly and said disapprerovingly.
This is the so-called art of domination, which must not allow one party to dominate, but must create some kind of balance between two or several parties, so that those people can be more dependent on the Lord and do things more seriously.
"Wait." Lu Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take off the white shirt that Li Yuntian was wearing, but Li Yuntian reached out and pressed her hand, stopping her movements.
"Is there something wrong with the master?" The green calyx was slightly stunned and looked at him with some puzzlement.
"Don't you think that Chen Shengren went to great lengths to keep the master, and it won't be as simple as just **." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and smiled meaningfully at the green calyx, "The night is long, I'm afraid I'm going to have no intention of sleeping." ”
As soon as his words fell, there were several melodious piano sounds outside the window, which spread out in the silent night sky, which was very pleasant.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives." Hearing the sound of the piano, Li Yuntian laughed, he guessed correctly, Chen Bozhao really prepared a follow-up move.
Hearing the sound of the piano, the green calyx understood what Li Yuntian meant, and his expression was a little gloomy: the sound of the piano was soft, and it was obviously played by a woman.
Wine and wealth are the four great joys of life, and they are also the four weaknesses of people, for Li Yuntian, a new science and technology scholar who can be described as a young man, what can be more exciting than meeting a confidant?
After a while, Li Yuntian felt that the sound of the piano seemed to turn into turbulent flowing water, winding and flowing beside him, making him feel as if he was on the side of a mountain stream, as if he smelled a faint spring breath.
"Interesting!" Since he knew that this was deliberately done by Chen Bozhao, he would definitely not disappoint Chen Bozhao, so he dressed neatly under the service of the green calyx, and went out to follow the sound of the piano, wanting to see the beauty of the person who stroked the qin.
The green calyx naturally did not go to destroy the atmosphere of the meeting between Li Yuntian and the Fuqin woman, so he notified Luo Ming, who lived in the wing room in the courtyard, and Luo Ming hurriedly led four officials to follow behind to protect, and each of them had a waist knife hanging on their waists.
Guided by the sound of the piano, Li Yuntian passed through a courtyard gate and stopped in front of a small courtyard.
In the courtyard, there was a long-haired woman in a white dress, sitting in the gazebo with her back to him, caressing the piano in an orderly manner, and a maid ring stood beside her.
Li Yuntian didn't know much about the situation in Chen Bozhao's family, and he didn't know if the woman in the white dress in front of him was from the Chen family, or whether Chen Bozhao specially invited him from outside to be a "nursery".
After listening to the courtyard gate for a while, he walked into the small courtyard, I am afraid that this is exactly the scene Chen Bozhao wanted to see, Luo Ming and the others followed quietly behind.
The maid who was standing was slightly stunned when she saw Li Yuntian who entered the door, as if she didn't expect a man to come in, and then recognized the person as the county master, and leaned over to salute him.
Seeing this, Li Yuntian waved his hand, signaling her not to disturb the long-haired woman stroking the qin, and Yahuan stood there obediently and did not dare to move.
The long-haired woman played very devotedly, not noticing Li Yuntian's arrival at all, Li Yuntian stood behind her, closed his eyes and listened intently, looking intoxicated.
Soon after, as the long-haired woman played the last note, the song stopped abruptly, and the lingering aftersound lingered in the night sky for a long time.
"A good song "Mountains and Flowing Water", the girl's piano skills are superb, which is really rare in her life." Li Yuntian slowly opened his eyes and applauded loudly.
He seemed to be walking in the green mountains and valleys just now, and the clear mountain spring flowing around him made him feel relaxed and happy, like a spring breeze.
"Adult Miao praised, the little woman is just playing with her hands, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." The long-haired woman turned around when she heard the words and blessed Li Yuntian, "Chen Ningning, a folk girl, has seen an adult." ”
"Do you know who I am?" Li Yuntian was slightly stunned, looking a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Chen Ningning to point out his identity so directly.
In fact, in his opinion, Chen Ningning should deliberately pretend not to know his identity, so that it would be easier to get close to him, but as soon as she came up, she revealed the mystery, didn't it seem a little boring.
However, perhaps this is also Chen Ningning's uniqueness, a little less pretentious, a little more temperamental, and even more different.
After Chen Ningning raised her head after saluting, Li Yuntian's eyes suddenly lit up.
Under the bright and soft moonlight, a beautiful woman stood there slim, green silk like ink, high-curled beauty, face like March peach blossoms, eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes like apricots, delicate cheeks, pure and refined to the extreme.
I think what kind of beauty he hadn't seen when he was in the business world, but Chen Ningning is different, not only has the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, but more importantly, she has an innate elegant and delicate temperament, which makes him feel pity for her.
