The young man said, "Master Li, please take a seat." Uncle came back from a message just now, saying that something was stumbling in the yamen, and asked Master Li to wait for a while. ”

It turned out to be Ge Ting's nephew.

Li Zhuohang smiled and said, "Okay." ”

So I sat down.

He asked again: "May I ask what the little brother is called?" ”

The young man said: "The boy's surname is Luo, and his name is dustless." ”

Li Zhuohang said: "This surname is rare. ”

Luo Wuchen smiled, didn't make a sound, turned around and brought a purple clay pot to boil water to make tea.

Li Zhuohang saw that he was polite and polite, and he was quite disciplined in making tea, praised him twice, and asked a few words casually, only to know that he came to Huizhou Mansion to study and lived in his uncle's house.

Luo Wuchen made tea, held it to Li Zhuohang, and got some fruits; moved over a stack of copywriting again, and said to Li Zhuohang: "This is the latest Di newspaper, my uncle copied it, and ordered Master Li to read it first, saying that he would come back soon." ”

Li Zhuohang hurriedly said: "Mr. Ge bothered. ”

That's what he really said.

He has always maintained the line of Ge Ting, because this person is still worth paying, not the person who is insatiable and takes money and does not give things to him.

Li Zhuohang didn't wait long before he read two Di newspapers, and Ge Ting came back.

The two met and greeted each other.

Li Zhuoyuan clinged to Wang Zhao, and inevitably snubbed Ge Ting, Ge Ting's heart was a little sour, but it was not easy to say anything, he was just a small official, his ability was limited, didn't people lean on the big tree to enjoy the shade?

After returning to his seat, he smiled and said, "I just disdain to come to the door anymore as Master Li." ”

Li Zhuohang knew that he was angry, and hurriedly said: "I am talking about a personal relationship with Mr. Ge, not a social interaction on that scene, how can I disdain it." ”

Ge Ting was comfortable listening to this.

I thought again: Although Li Zhuoyuan is not close to him, the Huizhou branch of Taiping Firm sends him New Year's gifts every year, all of which are sent in the name of Li Zhuohang, and they are all special local instruments shipped from Huzhou, which shows that Li Zhuohang is attentive to him, and he does not perfunctory him casually and let people buy some things in Huizhou Mansion to send him away.

He smiled and said, "Brother Li has a good temperament. ”

It was renamed "Brother Li" again.

After the two talked about the aftermath, Li Zhuohang asked him what was going on with sending troops to suppress the victims of Qinghua Mansion and whose idea it was.

Ge Ting said: "What's the matter? Some people rebelled, and of course the government had to send troops to suppress it. I heard that it was the king's idea to follow the envoy. The governor did not agree, but the king moved out of the king according to the envoy, so he had nothing to say. ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Who said that there are people who rebel? ”

Ge Ting said: "News from Qinghua Mansion." I heard that Governor Liu's mansion was in a hurry one after another, saying that the victims had occupied Qinghuafu City and erected a banner. ”

Li Zhuohang said: "They didn't send someone to check first, and then sent troops?" ”

Ge Ting saw that his complexion was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What is the secret here?" ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Of course there is a hidden secret. ”

Then he told the prefect Liu about the resale of official grain.

Ge Ting was shocked: "There is such a thing! ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Is this kind of thing rare? ”

Ge Ting was silent.

Such things as empty salaries in the army, embezzlement of treasury funds, and greed for disaster relief are indeed common in officialdom, but it is not common for thieves like Liu Zhifu to shout to catch thieves and openly suppress the victims as anti-thieves.

Where did he get the confidence?

Why did they believe him so much?

After being silent for a while, Ge Ting said, "Your news is old, how many days ago." I heard from them this afternoon that those victims, led by two anti-thief leaders, robbed many large families in the city, set up camp in Qinghua Mountain, and became bandits. ”

Li Zhuohang's heart tightened——

The rebellion of the victims must be forced!

What about Pan Yue?

The victims are reversed, how will he end up?

Can Governor Liu spare him?

Ge Ting said: "There are 30,000 forbidden troops stationed in Shicun Town, Qinghua Prefecture, and there are at least 20,000 excluding those who eat empty salaries; The leading lieutenant general is from the command of King Xuanwu. This afternoon, the governors are on the agenda, and they need reinforcements......"

Li Zhuohang listened quietly and asked again: "This Lord Wang...... According to Brother Ge, how does Su Ri behave? ”

Ge Ting looked strange and said, "Aren't you related to him?" ”

Li Zhuohang: "......"

Ge Ting saw that he was unhappy, and he didn't ask him anymore, so he told him some things about Wang Zhao's officialdom: Wang Zhao is a side branch of the Wang clan in the capital, and he is the uncle of Wang Heng, the left minister. When he went to Huizhou, he also did several things vigorously. For example, firing cement, building cement roads, and encouraging people in mountainous areas to grow tea. On weekdays, he opens and closes his mouths "Wang Xiang" and "Lord Liang", for fear that people will not know about this relationship.

However, Ge Ting faintly revealed that he said that Wang Zhao did these things, not to mention tea planting, and he could not see results in three or two years; The construction of workshops to burn cement and build cement roads has been in full swing, and many migrant workers have been recruited. He went to the construction site once, and those migrant workers were very miserable, and it was said that they were in arrears for several months.

Li Zhuohang thought to himself, this is clearly a fox and a fake tiger.

He didn't believe that if Wang Heng and Liang Xinming learned about the situation in Qinghua Mansion, they would send troops to suppress it; Even if it is really a rebellion of the victims, the two adults will definitely find out the inside story first, and only punish the first evil, and not suppress everyone.

Yan Ji has already handed over the news, and the imperial court should send Qin down soon, but at the moment he has no choice but to wait.

After talking for a while, Luo Wuchen came to invite him to dinner.

Ge Ting smiled: "Let's go, let's eat." My brother hasn't been here for a long time, so let's have a couple of drinks. My brother still has something to ask you. ”

Li Zhuohang asked him what was the matter.

Ge Ting said: "My brother has someone who wants to ask you to arrange an errand and eat a bowl of rice." ”

Li Zhuohang said with a straight face: "The little brother is going to refuse this matter, and I ask Brother Ge for forgiveness." I open the door to do business to make money; If you can't make money, you'd rather not open it. Last time, you recommended someone to go, and it made them feel miserable. The younger brother would rather give you some money to help you make up for him, and he can't arrange it randomly. ”

Ge Ting smiled: "Don't say it's ugly. ”

Li Zhuohang said with a smile: "We have a good personal relationship, so we dare to speak directly." ”

Ge Ting hurriedly said: "This person is very proper, it is my brother-in-law." He is a showman, and he has a lot of literary talent in his belly, a hundred times better than me. Nian Xuezheng recommended him to go to the Buzheng Yamen to be a copywriter, but he was very unaccustomed to the yamen because he suspected that the yamen was seriously ill, and he disdained to eat this bowl of rice, so he was idle at home. That's when I thought of my brother. - Your family has a big business, there is always a place to place him, do the accounting room, do the copywriting, it's okay. ”

Li Zhuohang remembered Luo Wuchen and hurriedly asked, "But your nephew's father?" ”

Ge Ting said: "It's him." My nephew wants to study, and the cost is large, and he is very high-minded, so he refuses to be sponsored by me in vain, so I have to help him find an errand......"

Li Zhuohang said: "You let him come tomorrow." ”

Ge Ting prepared a large article, but before he finished speaking, when he agreed, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Didn't you say that it couldn't be arranged?" Why did you respond again? ”

Li Zhuohang said: "I see that your nephew is good. ”

Ge Ting choked with a "poof", hurriedly turned his face away and coughed for a while, and then asked: "Did you first look at your son, and then take him Laozi?" ”

Li Zhuohang said with a smile: "Lao Tzu who can teach such a son must not be bad." Brother Ge pleaded with me again, but my brother dared to disobey! When he said this, he forgot that Li Tianhua was not bad, but his father Li Zhuoran made him ashamed.

Ge Ting laughed out loud and said, "You have vision." My dust-free home is a good material, and my future achievements will definitely be extraordinary. ”

With that, he got up and let him go to his seat.
