Cai Yaozong didn't know that his old partner had betrayed him, so he asked Liu Hongyu, "What about Lord Zhao?" ”

"Deadwood Monk and Lord Gan have come from afar, what are the officials saying about detaining Lord Zhao in the yamen? Moreover, Lord Zhao was originally two days away from the date of taking office, so the official asked her to go back to accompany the deadwood monks. Liu Hongyu said.

Before Cai Yaozong could feel happy in his heart, he said again: "But Lord Zhao is worthy of being the champion appointed by the emperor, conscientious and diligent in official work. She said that since she came to the Yamen today, she reported to the Yamen. She doesn't delay her business for personal reasons. She planned to go back and settle the dead wood monk and his party, and then come to the government in the afternoon. ”

Li Li knew what Cai Yaozong was afraid of. He said happily: "Lord Gan heard that Lord Zhao wanted to see the files and accounts, so he immediately said that he would come with Lord Zhao in the afternoon and look at these files and accounts for her. ”

Cai Yaozong almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

The scene he was most afraid of still came!

"Great, my lord, isn't this okay? Lord Gan is not our official in Nanyang, how can he read Nanyang's files and accounts? Not only is he not an official in Nanyang, but now he is not even an official, and he has become a general. It's completely out of order. The more Cai Yaozong spoke, the more he felt that this made sense, and when he said that the weakness in his heart was gone, he became more reasonable.

That's right, that's it, unruly!

If Liu Hongyu originally had the idea of not getting involved in the contradictions between Zhao Ruxi and Cai Yaozong, but after learning that Zhao Ruxi actually partnered with the emperor to do business, his "nothing to do with himself" mentality was completely gone.

But before he could speak, he was preempted by Li Li.

Li Li's tone was full of mockery: "It's funny for Lord Cai to say this. I remember that Lord Cai has to ask his friends to check the accounts every year, right? Lord Gan is a serious household official, the friend of Lord Cai, I remember that he is just a bookkeeper in a silver building, and he only has a show of fame, right? ”

Wang Yongshou is Chen Kang's person, and although Cai Yaozong has a cooperative relationship with Chen Kang, he doesn't believe him. Every year, he asks a friend of his classmates to check the accounts. That classmate friend was only admitted to Xiucai, and his career was hopeless, and his family background was not good, so he went to a silver building to become an account manager. Cai Yaozong promised a certain remuneration and asked him to take time to check the accounts every year.

Originally, Li Li was not powerful, and he didn't dare to offend Cai Yaozong in the yamen, and he kept being a man with his tail between his legs. At this time, he defected to Zhao Ruxi, and changed his face to such a villain.

Cai Yaozong was so angry that his head was smoking, and he didn't care about maintaining his always kind image, so he glared at Li Li angrily and spat fragrantly: "It's your business!" Don't think that if you want to befriend someone, they will take care of you. Don't pee and see what kind of virtue you are! ”

"Shut up." Liu Hongyu saw this situation, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped.

"Qiming Xunbao" has now covered the Jiangnan area, and there are "reporters" in various places. If these two people continue to talk, maybe the news that "Nanyang officials are scolding each other, looking like shrews" will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

He heard that the emperor must read every issue of this newspaper. At that time, the three of them don't have to be officials, they can just get out. happened to give Zhao Zhiwei the first chair of the yamen to sit, and then arranged a few new jinshi to be his subordinates, which fulfilled Zhao Zhiwei.

"Just do as I say, Ming'er will move all the files and accounts to Lord Zhao's house." Liu Hongyu looked at Cai Yaozong warningly, "You give me some restraint, don't forget that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not sitting in that position now." ”

So saying, he flicked his sleeves and went into his room.

Li Li saw that Liu Hongyu was angry, and he didn't dare to talk cheaply anymore, so he quickly turned around and entered his house.

Cai Yaozong was left alone under the corridor to stand there, his face blue and white for a while.

When he came back to his senses, he glanced at the empty porch and asked his housekeeper, "Where is Chen Kang?" ”

"Well, you left as early as when you had an argument with Master Li." The housekeeper raised his chin, "It seems to be out of the yamen." ”

Cai Yaozong's face was so black that he was about to drip water.

He lifted his feet and walked out, commanding, "Prepare a sedan chair for me." ”

Zhao Ruxi's residence, the chief in the yamen already knew. When Zhou Chun came to buy a house, it was Zhao Ruxi's name that came to the yamen to register.

Cai Yaozong took a sedan chair and arrived at Zhao's mansion after a while. At the gatehouse of the Zhao family, he really saw Chen Kang, who had just arrived for a while.

Chen Kang is worthy of being an old fox, with a very thick skin. Seeing Cai Yaozong, he didn't have the slightest expression of shame or discomfort on his face, and said with a calm smile: "I wanted to ask you to go together, but when I saw you talking to Master Li, I will go first, thinking that you will arrive in a while." Sure enough. ”

Cai Yaozong snorted coldly in his heart, but he was still smiling on the surface, and he couldn't see the slightest disagreement between the two: "I just thought that you would come here, so I came to chase you." Haha, it seems that the two of us have a good understanding. ”

He didn't get along with Zhao Ruxi, he also had a conflict with Liu Hongyu, and he didn't deal with Li Li from the beginning. In the entire Yamen, except for Chen Kang, there is no ally, and he doesn't dare to get in trouble with Chen Kang anymore.

The two men waited in the gatehouse, each with their own thoughts.

Zhao Ruxi was talking to Kang Shilin and others when he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang had come to visit.

"What's going on?" Although Kang Shilin has never been an official in his life, his mind is very delicate, and he can see that something is wrong at a glance.

At the gate of the yamen just now, the only people who came out to greet them were Liu Hongyu, the governor of Zhouzhou, and a fellow acquaintance named Li Li, and there were no Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang.

Even if these two people were not in the yamen just now, they should not have known that there were elders in Zhao Ruxi's family who came from afar, and they immediately came to visit. This is too unsightly.

Zhao Ruxi did not hide from the master, and told all the contradictions and entanglements in the yamen.

Kang Shilin expected that when he heard the little apprentice use words to attract Gan Lun to help her read the files and accounts, he knew that the little apprentice must be in trouble.

Hearing that the situation was so complicated, he asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Ruxi thought for a while and said, "I'll go see them first." She turned to Gan Lun and said, "Master, if necessary, I would like to ask you to help me look at the accounts of salt and grain." ”

Although this was mentioned at the gate of the yamen, it was said in a joking tone at the time. Now that she has explained the arrogance of the yamen, she naturally wants to say it solemnly again.

She also highlighted the words "if needed". If she goes to talk to Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang for a while, maybe she will let it go for a while if she checks the accounts.

Cai Yaozong has been in Nanyang for a few years, and he has the support of the prince behind him, which is not so easy to shake; Chen Kang is even more of a snake.

She pushed the two of them into a hurry, and neither side could get along.
