Qiu Yizhi ignored him, turned over and dismounted, walked to the door of the study alone, and kicked the door open without knocking.

Huaiyang County Ling was indeed in the study, and when he saw someone so rude, he couldn't help but be angry, and reprimanded: "Where did you come from? Why are you so rude, don't you see that this county is talking to people? ”

Qiu Yizhi raised his eyes to look at the magistrate who was nicknamed "Sun Papi", and saw that he was in his thirties, wearing a spotless official uniform, and the long beard under his chin was also combed in the slightest - there was a sense of bookishness all over his body, which was very different from the insatiable appearance of the corrupt official in Qiu Yizhi's imagination.

Sun Zhixian also looked at Qiu Yizhi a few times, and saw that he was handsome and extraordinary, so he didn't dare to underestimate him, so he changed his slightly gentler tone and asked, "What did this son see in this county?" If there is no major incident, can the county be allowed to finish talking to this Zhao official and then have tea with the son? ”

Qiu Yizhi was not rude when he heard this Sun Peel talking, and it was not easy to force a seizure, and he turned his head to see that the "Zhao Daguanren" he said was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The "Zhao Daguanren" was uncomfortable by this uninvited young man, so he hurriedly picked up the tea bowl in his hand, took a sip, and calmed down, and then joked: "Why is this son staring at Zhao?" Didn't Zhao write on his face? ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to him, and finally remembered who this person was, and asked, "Are you Zhao Fuyi?" ”

"Zhao Daguanren" heard Qiu Yizhi call his name, and his hand holding the tea bowl couldn't help shaking, and asked: "It's Zhao Fuyi who is good." It's just that I haven't met my son, so I don't know how my son recognized me? ”

Without waiting for Qiu Yizhi's answer, Sun Zhixian said on the side: "Zhao Daguan is kind and charitable, and he is very famous in my Huaiyang County, and it is not strange that this son knows you!" He thought that he was saying this very appropriately, so he smiled and looked at Zhao Fuyi proudly.

Zhao Fuyi exchanged glances with him, and was about to smile and be humble, but he heard the young man in front of him say: "In the next autumn ceremony, I wonder if my uncle still remembers me?" ”

Zhao Fuyi was stunned by his words, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Qiu Yizhi, are you really Qiu Yizhi?" He got up too violently and knocked over the tea bowl, and poured tea on the table.

"Didn't you recognize Prince Youyan as your father-in-law? How could it be here now? Zhao Fuyi widened his eyes as big as a copper bell, and then asked.

Qiu Yizhi snorted and smiled: "Since my uncle still recognizes me, then I won't introduce myself anymore." Dissatisfied with my uncle, and this county lord said, it was the prince of Youyan who sent me here to do business, if you don't believe it, please see! As he spoke, he took the name card of Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, in his hand and lit it up to the two of them.

Seeing this, Sun Papi hurriedly got up and was about to pick it up. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yizhi withdrew his hand and said, "You trivial sesame petty official, why are you so rude?" This is the name of the prince, don't kneel down for me! ”

Sun Papi was stunned for a moment, did not kneel, but straightened his body, and said: "The imperial court is sending troops to encircle and suppress the prince of Youyan, I am not afraid that the prince will think that the county is speaking badly, and the prince is now a thief." Although the official position of this county is low, he is also an official of the imperial court, how can there be a reason to bow down and worship the thief? ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "Those are all family affairs of the royal family, how dare you ask more than a foreign minister?" Let me ask you, does the imperial court have the will to strip off the title of prince? Since there is none, then the prince is still the prince, why can't he withstand the worship of your little county order? ”

Qiu Yizhi's words are obviously strong, but they also make Huaiyang County unable to refute.

The magistrate pondered for a long time, and finally said hatefully: "This county doesn't want to have a verbal dispute with you here. Since you have the courage to come, don't blame the county herdsman, naturally you have a responsibility. With that, he shouted out, "Someone! Don't take down this thief for me! ”

How could Sun Papi, the magistrate of Huaiyang, know that all the officials in the county government have been subdued by the people brought by Qiu Yizhi, and no one answered after shouting for a long time.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi laughed and said, "Sun Papi, your words don't work here!" Let's see below! As he spoke, he deliberately parroted: "Come on!" Don't take down this thief for me! ”

Qiu Yizhi's words were really useful, and before the words fell, he heard someone outside the door respond loudly: "Obey!" I saw a few big men coming from outside the door, and they pressed the county order to the ground.

Qiu Yizhi smiled with satisfaction, no matter how Sun Papi was lying on the ground and scolding, he went straight to the main seat, and said with a smile: "Sun Papi, have you taken it now?" ”

Zhao Fuyi, who was on the side, saw such a situation, where could he still stand, his knees were weak, and he hurriedly knelt down.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle is still my elder after all, why do you need to do this?" Please go down first, and I'll have something to say to my uncle later. ”

He watched Zhao Fuyi staggering out of the study, then sat down again, changed his tone and repeated: "Sun Papi, are you taking it now?" ”

This Sun Peel is quite backbone, and scolded: "The sage said, 'mighty and unyielding', my grandson died here, and that is also my loyal and filial son of the Han Dynasty, what is there to serve?" ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, "haha" laughed and said: "What a 'mighty and unyielding', a good 'loyal and filial son of the Han'!" I don't ask anything else, I'll ask you, where did you get the nickname 'Sun Papi'? ”

This Sun Zhixian had been admitted to the Jinshi in the early years of Emperor Daxing, but his grades were really average, and he could not enter the Hanlin Academy, and his future was very limited. After a few years of mixing in various ministries, he was finally assigned to the local government as an official, but it was only a county order. Sun Zhixian is only sparse and ambitious, and he is bent on getting promoted and making a fortune, but the appetite of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China is not small, and even if he scrapes the land in such a poor place as Huaiyang County by three inches, he still can't get promoted.

Until this year, he heard that the old emperor had died and the new emperor had ascended the throne, and he thought that it would be better to shoot the new emperor's horse directly than to pat the minister's sycophant, so he came up with the idea of offering auspiciousness. So he was ruthless, in addition to the land tax this year, he also added a poll tax that no one had a penny of silver.

But although the money is collected, Xiangrui is not easy to find. Today, his grandson asked Zhao Fuyi to come over, because he heard that Zhao Fuyi's family had a purple pearl coral and wanted to buy it, so he said that it was an auspicious rui that grew from the ground and wanted to dedicate it to the new emperor Zheng Yao.

However, how could Sun Zhixian say this little trick in front of outsiders? So he stiffened his neck and said, "You are all anti-thieves, and this county doesn't want to talk to you too much." How to send it, listen to it! ”

Qiu Yi had her own calculations in her heart, and said to herself: "You are corrupt and pervert the law, and you have long been full of public grievances. However, the virtue of God's good life will show you a clear way, as long as you submit to the prince of my family, Keri will send 200 stone of military rations to the front line in Bianzhou, you can be exempted from your sins, and after the success of the great cause of rebellion, another reward is unknown! ”

"What! Just two hundred stone of grain is enough? Sun Papi couldn't believe his ears. Although Huaiyang County is poor, even if it encounters a famine year, this mere 200 stone of grain is only a drop in the bucket.

Qiu Yizhi heard that this Sun had already been tricked, so he said: "That's nature. The prince of my family has always been a person who does not focus on his work, and Youyan Dao is rich, is there still a shortage of your two hundred stone of grain? I won't tell you, it's Marshal Dai Luanxiang Dai, didn't he also surrender to my prince? ”

"What! Isn't Marshal Dai still at war with Prince Youyan? Yesterday's post on urging grain was also sent to this county! Sun Papi exclaimed again.

Qiu Yizhi sneered and said "hum": "This play is called double reed, you don't understand it!" If Marshal Dai really guards it to the death, how can I come to your Huaiyang County? Halfway through his words, Qiu Yizhi suddenly coughed lightly, as if he was deliberately interrupting what he had said wrongly, and continued, "You know a lot about this matter, and it is not beneficial. You go down first to raise military rations, and then set off for Bianzhou immediately. Otherwise, your head will fall to the ground! ”

Qiu Yi's coming here is nothing more than to spread rumors about Dai Luanxiang's secret collusion with Zheng Rong inside and outside the government and the opposition, so that it is a "counter-plot". So he instructed the few people who had been holding Sun Zhixian down: "You can take him down." Another rumor is that Zhao Fuyi is in! ”

As soon as those people agreed, they walked out of the study like an eagle catching a chicken, carrying Sun Peel.

After a while, Zhao Fuyi walked into the study with a nervous heart, and saw Qiu Yizhi sitting in the hall, he was very scared, and he was about to kneel when his knees were bent.

Qiu Yizhi has been bullied by this uncle since he was a child, and although his mother died of poverty and illness, she is also inseparable from Zhao Fuyi, so she really can't talk about any feelings for this uncle.

But since he was accepted as a righteous son by Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, he has been exposed to ethics and education, thinking that this Zhao Fuyi is rich and unkind, but he is also his elder, so he hurriedly said: "Why should my uncle be polite? Please sit down and talk! ”

Zhao Fuyi listened to Qiu Yi's "uncle", although he was not affectionate, but he did not lose the courtesy, and finally stood up and said, flattering: "Yizhi has followed the prince in the past few years, and he really has a ...... of interest" But he couldn't think of anything else to say.

Qiu Yizhi saw that although Zhao Fuyi still had the same red face as ten years ago, but the corners of his eyes, mouth, and forehead also added a lot of wrinkles, and he couldn't help but think of the sage's motto "The deceased is like a husband", and sighed: "Uncle did something bad back then, and all the good fields and mansions under his name were confiscated, but I didn't expect that it was only ten years, and he was the guest of honor of the county master, which is really gratifying!" ”

Zhao Fuyi replied: "It was still the prince who was kind and gave me a few acres of fertile land to cultivate, and he did not change my fame, so I saved some silver and land." Although he is a rich man in Huaiyang County, he can't be compared with that year! Zhao Fuyi shook his head as he spoke.

"I didn't expect my uncle to have this financial management skill...... However, this Huaiyang Zhixian is indeed not a good person, and I ask my uncle not to go with him in the future. Qiu Yizhi paused and said, "What will be the final result of this collusion between officials and businessmen, my uncle must have a deep understanding!" ”

Zhao Fuyi thought of the things that were dealt with by King Youyan before, and he still remembered it vividly, and he hurriedly claimed "yes".

Qiu Yizhi continued: "There are also grievances and grievances between you and me, which have been ticked off back then, and Yizhi doesn't want to mention this sad past." It's just that I still have to take care of my uncle here, the current situation in the world is obscure, according to Yizhi's position, the world is still my father-in-law's, and I hope that my uncle will prepare as soon as possible and leave a way back. ”

Zhao Fuyi had already been moved by Qiu Yizhi's reasonable words, his eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't cry, only listening to his vague and vague repeating: "Ashamed, ashamed!" ”

When Qiu Yizhi saw his appearance, he didn't want to dwell on it anymore, so he got up and said: "Yizhi has other important things to do, and it is inconvenient to talk to my uncle in detail, so let's retire!" ”
