A lot of things don't happen without being blindfolded.

The trouble that he was bent on avoiding still broke into Li Qinzai's life one day.

Under the conscription order of the imperial court, the young farmers who can be seen around them have to leave their hometowns and satisfy the vanity of the emperor with blood, sweat and fatigue.

Lee Chin-jae was really disgusted this time.

Disgust is disgust, Li Qinzai also knows very well that sealing Zen Mount Tai is what Li Zhitie is determined to do, and since the Empress Wu made a suggestion, there has been an inexplicable rumor in Chang'an City.

What the people petition, what the officials praise, once the public opinion is created, the people of the world will unconsciously follow and agree, this is actually the people's will, simple and impulsive, and easy to be fooled.

The foreshadowing was laid in advance, and public opinion was created, and the state treasury would not hesitate to owe debts for a few more years.

Li Zhi's determination to seal Zen was extremely firm, and Li Qinzai did not dare to openly oppose it.

The next day, the Weinan County Commander personally came to Ganjingzhuang and stood respectfully outside the gate of the Li family's courtyard, asking to see Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai met the county magistrate in the side hall.

The county commander's surname is Ma, and he has been in office for less than a year in Weinan County, and when he first took office last summer, Ma County Commander also visited him, which was regarded as a visit to the dock to ask for convenience.

Although Li Qinzai is already a county marquis, he still has to give full respect to the head snake, so he also set up a banquet to entertain Ma County Ling last year.

However, this time Li Qinzai saw him, but he didn't have a good face.

Ma Xian Ling saluted when he entered the door, and when he straightened his waist, he suddenly found that this Li County Marquis had a frosty face, and he ignored it coldly.

Ma Xianling's heart suddenly chuckled, and he immediately began to save his body.

I didn't just salute in a standard posture? My expression is not attentive enough? Am I offended by this thing?

Thinking about it, Ma Xianling really didn't know why this Li Xianhou shook his face when he first met, and his heart became more and more panicked.

"I haven't seen the face of the Hou of Li County for a long time, and the lower officials found that the Hou of Li County has become more and more handsome and beautiful, with a graceful demeanor and a beauty like jade, and the lower officials are full of admiration in their hearts."

Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows: "Ma County's order uses 'beauty like jade' to describe me?" Have you read a book? ”

Ma Xianling became more and more stunned: "Li Xianhou, the ancient word, 'beauty' originally refers to men." Is Xia Guan wrong? ”

This time it was Li Qinzai's turn to be stunned, he forgot to put on his face, and looked at him blankly with wide eyes.

Seeing Li Qinzai's expression, Ma Xian Ling had no choice but to explain: "The 'beauty' is a handsome man with outstanding virtue and talent. "Poetry" cloud, 'The son of Piqi, beautiful as jade.' ", "Lisao" and clouds, "But the scattered grass and trees, the twilight of the fear of beauty" ......"

Seeing that Li Qinzai's expression gradually became complicated, Ma Xian Ling said cautiously: "Xia Guan called Li Xian Hou handsome and beautiful with 'beauty', and there is no disrespect at all, it is completely a praise from the heart." ”

Li Qinzai was not embarrassed at all, and took the opportunity to pull an orchid finger: "In this way, I am really the beauty I have seen pity, Ma Xianling said it well,...... Don't say it again next time. ”

The Ma County Order does not know what it means, but it is still the only way it should be.

Then Ma County Ling said carefully: "Xia Guan saw that there was a gloomy atmosphere between Hou Meiyu of Li County, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, I don't know who offended you?" If it is an internal affair under the jurisdiction of the lower officials, the lower officials are willing to share the worries of Li County Marquis. ”

Li Qinzai didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Ma County Ling came to the door in person today, is there something wrong?" ”

Ma County Ling said with a smile: "Yes, in the past two days, the county government has unified the number of Zhuang Ding in each village and village under its jurisdiction, and there are more than 200 young Zhuang households in Ganjing Village, Li County Hou must know that His Majesty wants to seal Zen Mount Tai, and the imperial court ordered the Zhuang Ding to be served, and your Zhuangzi will transfer one hundred and twenty-two Zhuang Ding. ”

"Xia Guan came today to talk to Li County Hou, after the spring sowing, the strong men on the village will be on the road, and may be sent to Puzhou, two hundred miles away, the Ministry of Industry said that His Majesty will be lucky to Feng Zen trip, and will build a palace near Puzhou."

Knowing the purpose of Ma County's visit today, but after his words came out, Li Qinzai's face was still gloomy, not aimed at Ma County, he knew that Ma County's order had not done anything wrong.

"My Zhuangzi can't transfer the villagers." Li Qinzai said categorically.

Ma County was stunned for a while, and Ai Ai said: "Why?" ”

Li Qinzai said slowly: "Do you know about the new grain seeds? His Majesty has sent thousands of guards to be stationed around my Zhuangzi, and not only that, but more than 200 households in my Zhuangzi also have to take care of the new grain day and night. ”

Ma Xianling was stunned: "This, this...... The lower official committee really can't make the decision, the number of people who are forced to serve in each village is sent by the Assassin Shi Office, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry have done a unified job, and no one in the prefectures and counties can be left behind, otherwise the chief official will be questioned. ”

"The lower officials don't dare to embarrass Li Xianhou, but you also think about the lower officials, the one hundred and twenty-two Zhuang households in Guizhuang have already filed a case in the Assassin's Mansion, and they can't change it, otherwise the upper officials will not have a good end, and they will inevitably implicate Li Xianhou."

Li Qinzai snorted and said, "I said that I can't be transferred, but I can't be transferred, or you let the messenger arrest me in the county jail and make an example of the monkeys?" ”

Ma Xianling broke out in a cold sweat and said with a smile: "Li Xianhou Mo insulted himself, how could you be a chicken......

Li Qinzai's expression was stunned, and he couldn't see that the mouth of this product was also cheap.

patted Ma County's shoulder, Li Qinzai said earnestly and sincerely: "The rules are set by people, and they are also changed by people, Ma County, don't be too rigid as an official, you can also be flexible when you should be flexible, what do you say?" ”

Ma Xian Ling shook his head resolutely: "The lower officials can't be flexible, the assassin Shi Mansion comes to ask for someone, if there is one less person handed over by the lower official, he will be severely punished, and I also ask Li County Marquis to understand the difficulties of the lower official." ”

Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, and then said, "How about exchanging money?" You make a price, how much is the labor of each of my householders worth, I will give you the money, and you will exempt them from servitude. ”

Ma Xianling's face became more and more ugly: "Li Xianhou, don't make trouble." This is not a matter of money at all, Your Majesty is fortunate to be in Zen, who in the whole world dares to use money for labor? If it happens, it will be a big crime for both the lower officials and you. ”

Ma Xian Ling paused, and then said: "Li County Hou, the lower official asks a lot, why are you?" Why don't you want to take the dealer out? ”

"The imperial court recruited the people, but it was just a little hard to build the palace, and it was not for them to go to the battlefield, there would be no casualties at all, why should you make trouble with the court for this matter?"

Li Qinzai leaned back, revealing a domineering face: "No, it's just that I'm not happy in my heart, and I want to find some trouble, can't I?" ”

Ma Xianling smiled bitterly: "Okay, but the lower official is just a poor county magistrate, if you want to find trouble, can you not involve the lower official?" The lower officials can't stand it. ”

Li Qinzai was about to continue bargaining with him, and Steward Song hurriedly entered the side hall and saluted: "Fifth Young Lang, His Royal Highness King Teng drove outside the door." ”

Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said in surprise: "Great injustice...... Ah, no, His Royal Highness King Teng? Hurry up and welcome, meet with high standards! ”
