Li Zhuohang did not let go, and in order to change the topic, he specially picked a problem that the other party had to pay attention to and threw it out, because he said: "My lord, the villain heard someone on the way here that Liang Yushi impeached Governor Liu for reselling the grain of the disaster relief officials, and he should be investigated." Why is it said that the victims of the disaster have rebelled and sent troops to suppress them? ”

Wang Zhao was really attracted, and left the concubine without mentioning it, and asked him: "Did you really hear someone say?" Where did the news come from? ”

Li Zhuohang said: "I heard people say it on the river. ”

He hadn't heard anyone say anything about it, he had made it up himself.

He concluded that after Wang Heng and Liang Xinming received Yan Ji's message, they would definitely ask the emperor to send someone down to investigate the matter. He wanted to deceive the king's edict, in the end, this order to send troops to suppress was the upper-level officials in Huizhou eager to cover up the truth, or what.

Wang Zhao said: "This official has not yet received the decree of the imperial court. ”

Li Zhuohang said: "I think it's still on the way." ”

Wang Zhao's face was cloudy.

The two of them secretly made moves, and Li Zhuoyuan listened like a pins and needles.

Wang Zhao's words gave him a slap in the face:

If Li Zhuohang wanted to take a concubine, he would have accepted it early, but would he wait until today?

Wang Zhao gave a concubine to Li Zhuohang, it was not convenient to get money from the Li family in the future, and even coveted the Li family's family business, which was unscrupulous.

In Li Zhuoyuan's heart, sooner or later, the family business of the Li family's descendants will be Li Tianming's, how can he let outsiders get involved, so he regrets it, and he shouldn't lead the wolf into the house.

Although Li Zhuohang skillfully refused, how could Wang Zhao give up? Wang Zhao is an official, the Li family is a businessman and a citizen, and since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, nor can they fight officials.

Wang Zhao didn't know what to eat, and thought: No matter whether the news Li Zhuohang heard is true or not, as long as he takes the first step to exterminate the rebellious people and confirms the charge of rebellion, he can't find out the truth when he comes down, what can he do?

He drank two cups indiscriminately, then put down his chopsticks and said to Li Zhuohang: "There is important business in this official's yamen, so let's go first." ”

Li Zhuohang hurriedly got up and sent out of the private room.

Wang Zhao deliberately enveloped him, and when he saw that he was a villain, he stopped and said unhappily: "Our own family, the virtuous nephew is too outside." From the side of your grandfather Guo's family, the virtuous nephew should call the official 'uncle'. ”

He hasn't given up on the matter of taking a concubine, but he can't be idle at the moment, and he has to suppress the affairs of Qinghua Mansion before he can spare time.

Li Zhuohang wanted to clear up with him, and hurriedly said: "How dare the villain cling!" ”

He is respectful, and Wang Zhao can't do it, so let's wait until later.

The group went downstairs and went to the door, the sedan chair drivers were waiting with the sedan chair, Li Zhuoyuan took a step forward, opened the sedan curtain, and waited for Wang Zhao to go up before putting down the curtain; Li Zhuohang stood on the side of the street, watching the sedan chair go away before turning around.

Li Zhuoyuan said: "The head of the family will wait a while, and the carriage will come." ”

Li Zhuohang said: "I just eat, let's go." ”

Without waiting for Li Zhuoyuan to speak, he took the lead and left.

Li Zhuoyuan had no choice but to follow.

After they left, a scholar came out of the Huiyue Building, but it was Li Zhuoran, who first looked in the direction where Wang Zhao went, and the sedan chair was gone, and then turned to Li Zhuohang's side, pursed his lips and looked at it for a while.

Li Zhuohang returned to Taiping Commercial in silence all the way and sat down in the study.

Li Zhuoyuan knew that he was angry, so he didn't dare to sit down, he wanted to explain what happened just now, and he wanted to ask for an idea, so he said worriedly: "The head of the family ......"

Li Zhuohang asked expressionlessly: "It's not easy to take advantage of cheap, right?" ”

Li Zhuoyuan bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Don't I know that the parents of this Huizhou City are county officials? I don't know if there is a prefect above the county? There are political envoys, envoys, and governors in the prefect's office? And the generals of the forbidden army stationed outside the city? Is the Li family short of silver to dot up and down? It makes sense not to climb the relationship. Do you understand? ”

Li Zhuoyuan blushed in shame and said, "The head of the family taught me a lesson. It's a foolish brother who is shallow. What should we do now? ”

Li Zhuohang said: "What should I do? Just ignore him. Whatever he forces you to do, just push it on me. ”

Li Zhuoyuan hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

My heart is still uneasy, can this be done?

Li Zhuohang ordered Mowen to take his name card and send the table gift he had prepared earlier to Ge Ting, the master of Qiangu, to the county government, and make an appointment to visit him next night.

Mowen hurried away.

Li Zhuohang's arrangement was decided, so he went into the inner courtyard to see if his daughter had dinner.

Li Hanyao had just eaten.

The father and daughter sat in the inner room, and Li Zhuohang asked, "Do you want to go out to play?" ”

Li Hanyao shook her head and said, "I don't want to." ”

Li Zhuohang was strange: Whenever she went to a place before, she was always making a fuss about going out to see something new. Because there was another thing for her to do, she didn't ask.

He told his daughter about the situation of meeting with Wang Zhao in Huizhou just now, and said that Wang Zhao wanted to take a concubine for him, and then asked: "You say, how should Daddy deal with him?" If you agree, what will be the result? ”

The result?

Naturally, the Li family was unlucky.

Li Hanyao was so angry that her little face turned red.

She wanted to scold people very much, but her father asked her for ideas, and scolding people couldn't solve the problem, because people are officials, and it is useless to resist hard!

She frowned and pondered.

Li Zhuohang threw this question to his daughter, which was regarded as assigning her a homework, which was enough for her to think about for a day and save her boredom. He expected Li Hanyao to come up with it tomorrow, and was going to go to the front shop to do other things first.

He wanted to take a sip of tea before going, but just picked up the teacup and took a sip, when he suddenly heard Li Hanyao say: "Didn't grandmother say when she was dying, don't want your father to take a concubine." He wants his father to take a concubine, okay, let him go underground and talk to his grandmother! ”

"Poof!"

Li Zhuohang squirted out all the tea in one gulp.

He looked at his daughter with a strange expression.

This is...... Father-daughter connection?

Li Hanyao muttered to herself, "shallow eyes", although she did not name her name, Li Zhuohang knew that she was talking about Li Zhuoyuan, and she should not provoke Wang Zhao.

His daughter......

Li Hanyao found out that her father was choking, so she got up busily, pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, walked to Li Zhuohang, wiped his mouth for him, and said angrily: "What is Daddy doing like this?" You can choke on a cup of tea. Really! ”

Li Zhuohang sneered: "It's okay." ”

Li Hanyao asked, "Daddy is going out in the afternoon?" ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Hmm." To visit someone. ”

Li Hanyao said: "Then Daddy will sleep for a while." Then he couldn't help but call Mo Zhu and instructed, "Daddy wants to sleep for a while." I'll talk about it later. ”

Mo Zhu hurriedly agreed and went out to guard.

Li Zhuohang looked at his daughter and smiled, he was only eight years old, so he took care of him, but he liked it very much, and the warmth of the little padded jacket was really good.

In the evening, Li Zhuohang took Mowen Mowu and took an ordinary carriage to the house of Master Ge Ting, the master of Qiangu, without calling Li Zhuoyuan.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy came out and took Li Zhuohang to the study.

Li Zhuohang saw that this young man was handsome and dressed like a subordinate, and he also knew Ge Ting's two sons, but he didn't know who he was.
