Anshun County, post house rooms.

As the night deepened, Dai Duo, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was still looking at the black clothes, boots, spears, and waist knives in front of him.

These are the equipment that belongs to the "horse thieves" retained in Anshun County.

Unfortunately, there are no imprints on the clothes, boots, weapons, or horses that were fostered in the county government, and there is no way to infer the identity of these people from these things.

Even if everyone is sure that this is a team of eighteen horsemen in the private soldiers of the Xu Mansion, but there is no evidence, then the identity of these people can only be the qualitative "horse thieves" in Anshun County.

"Knock knock!"

Just as Dai Duo was frowning about this, there was a sudden knock on his door.

The knock on the door was very respectful and careful, but it was not loud, and I didn't dare to knock more.

Although it was only two gentle knocks on the door, it made Dai Duo hear a lot of things from the knock.

Dai Duo did not answer, nor did he get up, but just sat quietly, waiting for the other party to knock on the door again.

According to Dai Duo's judgment, this person will not knock on the door immediately, but will wait for a short time before knocking on the door again, and the knock on the door will only be lower than before.

Then, things really went as Dai Duo thought.

The people outside waited for a short time before knocking on the door again, and this time, the knock was even quieter.

"Enter!"

This time, Dietor was quick to respond.

Because if he doesn't respond, the people outside the door will leave.

This is a little person who is not very daring, but wants to climb up, and he can use it, but only for a while. This was the conclusion that Dietor had come to in a short time.

And if there are no accidents, his conclusion will be very close to the truth.

The door was carefully pushed open, and there was not a single sound as it opened.

When the door was completely opened, the person outside the door stepped in, and closed the door as soon as possible, still very carefully controlling the speed of closing the door, without making a little movement.

"Li Tuo, the chief secretary of Anshun County, has seen Dai Gong!"

What appeared in front of Dai Duo was Li Tuo, a chess piece character who was promoted by Zuoqiu as a knife.

"Li Tuo?"

Dai Duo stared at Li Tuo for a while, confirming that this was indeed the master book he encountered when he came to Anshun County before.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Back to Dai Gong, the lower official has something important to report, but this matter involves your students, and the lower official doesn't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Since you don't know whether to talk about it or not, why do you want to stand in front of the old man?"

Dai Duo smiled faintly, "Li Tuo, in front of the old man, don't play with these careful eyes, this is ridiculous!" ”

"Xia Guan knows that he is wrong!"

As soon as Li Tuo heard Dai Duo's words, he knelt directly on the ground, not daring to breathe.

In the face of a second-grade member like Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, Li Tuo was really panicked. But for the sake of his future, he must come, and he must succeed.

In Li Tuo's view, this is an opportunity for him.

If he can get Dai Duo's attention because of this, then his future will definitely soar.

Of the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, Shangshu is the first, and below is Zuo Shilang.

Dai Duo is now Zuo Shilang, and it can be said that he is close to the limit of human ministers. What makes Li Tuo most excited is that Dai Duo is from the second grade!

In the general official system, Zuo Shilang is only the fourth grade, or the third grade.

But Dai Duo is from the second grade!

Why?

That's naturally because Jane is in the emperor's heart.

Dai Duo was a close person to Emperor Yongping when he was still in the palace, and he was also an extremely talented person. His grade was earned little by little by relying on his affection with Emperor Yongping and his merits.

If he could get Dai Duo's approval, Li Tuo didn't dare to think about what kind of good future he would have.

In contrast, the old man Xu who is only a seven-grade filial piety, even if there is a daughter who has been named the lord of the township at home, it is incomparable.

"Tell me, why did you come to see the old man at night?"

"Back to Dai Gong, the lower officials have some opinions on the case of the horse thief."

"It's just that this matter involves a little bit of the past that Xia Guan once had, and I hope that Dai Gong can forgive Xia Guan for his youth and ignorance at that time, so don't feel that Xia Guan is a despicable person."

"Yes!"

Dai Duo nodded slightly.

But deep down in his heart, he had already decided that Li Tuo's son was useless.

Speculative, timid and inferior, calculating.

If a person of such character occupies a high position one day, it is not the blessing of the people and the blessing of the society.

Li Tuo didn't know that when he thought he was about to embark on a smooth road to heaven, the future had already been sentenced to death, and it was the kind that would be executed soon.

"When Xia Guan was young, his family was poor, and in order to study, he had to borrow a loan shark, so he was coerced by such a thief, and once identified Xu Huaiyi, a filial piety man in Lingshui Village, on the road one night, with the aim of blackmail."

"However, including the lower officials, those rogue thieves were easily knocked to the ground by Xu Huaiyi, Xiaoyilang, with a stick."

"Yes, the lower officials think that Xu Huaiyi, Xiaoyilang, is a person with martial arts!"

"But in the statement of the people of Lingshui Village, it is said that there are other strange people passing by, except for those horse thieves."

"Xia Guan thinks that there must be something hidden in this!"

"Dai Gong wants to investigate the identity of the horse thief, but Xia Guan thinks that this filial piety may be a breakthrough."

I have to say that when Li Tuo finished speaking, Dai Duo's expression had a hint of solemnity.

"Does Zuoqiu know about this?"

"Back to Dai Gong, Xia Guan didn't dare to say anything to Lord Zuo. It's just because Lord Zuo and Xiaoyilang's personal education is very good. ”

"The old man knows, you should step down!"

Dai Duo pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and waved.

Li Tuo could only retire.

He didn't know if he would fall into the eyes of Dai Duo because of this, but he did his best. In his mind, there must be something unique about Dai Duo's ability to get a different kind of sainthood.

At the very least, it will not be a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable.

Li Tuo left Dai Duo's room, and did not turn back to his home, but stayed in an inn opposite the pavilion.

He couldn't wait to see if Didor would summon Zuoqiu.

As long as Dai Duo summoned the county magistrate, then his plan would be the majority.

Not long after Li Tuo checked into the room, he saw that there were guards traveling in the opposite noodle restaurant, and the direction was where the county government office was.

"It's done!"

Li Tuo waved excitedly.

From now on, he is one step closer to success.

Leaning on the big tree of the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, his future is bright, and it is just around the corner.

"Little Er, prepare two side dishes for me, a pot of wine, come quickly!"

Li Tuo opened the door and called the little second brother, and ordered his request.

Li Tuo, who has been the master bookkeeper for many days, is already a big man in Anshun County, and the inn junior naturally recognizes him.

After listening to Li Tuo's instructions, where did the little second brother dare to refuse? I could only go and call the chef of the inn to get up.

It took a lot of work to meet Li Tuo's requirements.
