Cai Xianqing was not in a hurry, and first took a big bite of dog meat, and then asked: "Then Tinglong said let's listen, what are their details?" ”

Ye Yongjia replied calmly: "The merchants were probably provoked by Wu Sijing, and planned to make treacherous schemes harm the imperial court. When they consulted with me, they threw out a plan to forge a shotgun; According to the shotgun is all forged, once cast, there is the disadvantage of trachoma, and it is heavy and inconvenient, how can it be used? It's clearly a deception to us and others who don't know firearms. I thought about it, so I agreed to his proposal, so I could wait and see what happened. But the superficial work had to be done sufficiently, and the book they asked me to play had to be written. It's just that I don't know how to explain to the imperial court, and I want to consult with Cai Lao. ”

After listening to the last sentence, Li Wenshou sneered disdainfully, and continued to eat the fish with his head bored.

Cai Xianqing had no choice but to turn around and say to him: "The old man thinks that there is a need not to write this recital. Ye Shangshu probably thought that if he didn't write it, he would arouse the suspicion of the businessmen and then destroy the cooperative relationship, but this was not the case. Now they are fooling me in every way, and they have no sincerity, if they continue to tolerate it like this, how will they talk about business in the future? Besides, if you really want to play it, do you tell the truth or do you not tell it and talk vaguely? Again, this becomes a dilemma. ”

"Old Cai, it's not that they don't want to cooperate with the government, the grievances are actually all on that person......" Ye Yongjia glanced at him urgently, "Therefore, I feel that the court and that person are of the same mind." As long as we can prove the innocence of the court and us, all problems will be solved. So don't force them, this is not the time to be tough. ”

"What does Lord Ye mean, do you want me to apologize to those Yi people one by one?" Li Wenshou had been listening carefully to the side, and suddenly interjected.

Ye Yongjia said with a smile: "Ye has never said anything, and he has never had such thoughts. But they have developed a distrust of the government, and even if you apologize with great fanfare, people will think that you are cheating. ”

"If that's the case, you can indeed present the recital," Cai Xianqing frowned and pinched his chin, "but you can't ignore what I said earlier." Businessmen are already profit-seeking, although it is not the original intention to harm the government, but we are indifferent to seeing us like lambs to the slaughter, cut down with a knife, who can not be greedy? Even if the misunderstanding is cleared up, they will still gain an inch. ”

"Soft and tough, this degree is too difficult to grasp......," Ye Yongjia sighed, "Let's go back to the main topic first, let's talk about the book." ”

"Wait, two," Li Wenshou wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, dusted off his clothes, got up and shouted, "I was sent by the imperial court, and among the few of us, I know the best thoughts." Why don't you let me make an idea for you? ”

'This person has a grudge, if you want to trap me in a disadvantageous situation, it will be easy...... Ye Yongjia guessed in his heart, and looked at him with a strange gaze.

Li Wenshou saw his suspicions, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lord Ye, we are all grasshoppers on a rope now, and we can't get out, isn't harming you the same as harming myself?" I'm not that stupid yet. ”

Cai Xianqing also advised: "At this critical time, if you don't work together, how can you do great things!" Even they know about unity, isn't Ye Shangshu, a person who has read poetry and books, not even clear this truth? ”

After hearing this, Ye Yongjia immediately sighed and looked directly at Li Wenshou with a pair of firm eyes, and did not move for a long time before he stretched out his hand: "Help each other in the same boat." ”

"All in the same boat!" Li Wenshou put his hand up and held it tightly.

After his dictation, Ye Yongjia had already written the recital before dawn. Because it was still late and it was inconvenient to go out of the city, the letter was temporarily placed on the table, and the three of them went back to the house to sleep for a while.

It was only when it was about Mao Zheng that Ye Yongjia felt a slight whiteness in front of him, and suddenly woke up, and the sky really began to brighten. He hurriedly got out of bed, re-read the paperwork, and read silently in his heart:

Recently, he participated in politics and came to patrol, urging the ministers to consult with the people repeatedly, but after five times, they failed to do so. The creation of a shotgun is a casting or a forging, each with its own merits, which is really a difficult thing to decide, not that they disrespect the Celestial Empire, and deliberately shirk it. The merchants used the casting method to facilitate the haircracking, and the ministers thought that forging the method was good for the imperial court. Who? Because of the forging method out of the bird gun, the use of dexterity, not heavy, is suitable for the wandering captives to engage the battle. However, the people were not convinced, but the ministers fought for the middle book in order to discern. The ministers thought that the intention of the court could be postponed, and left it to the ministers to investigate carefully, and the principle of firearms should be known, and then all the information was made in the book, so that the ministers could be judged. Do not issue an edict early to show favoritism. ’

Ye Yongjia laughed, he was obviously satisfied with this half-truth, that is, he folded it, put it in an envelope, handed it over to the messenger to carry the book, and went to Jingshi.

He was stunned in the room for a while, only to see a few golden rays of light shooting out of the clouds in the distance.

Just as he was about to change into his official uniform and go to the magistrate, he suddenly saw a clerk come into the guest room, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, and shouted to him: "Ye Shangshu, the magistrate just heard that you are back, and he specially prepared breakfast for you." ”

Ye Yongjia's stomach was still empty, and when he saw this bowl of clear soup noodles, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it, and said with a smile: "Thank you for thinking about Ye, you go back!" ”

The clerk stooped back, but glanced around a few times and closed the door by the way.

Ye Yongjia saw that the people had left, hurriedly picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and ate them with gusto, several strands of noodles were sent to his mouth one after another, and when he didn't get a slice, he didn't even miss a drop of soup, and he ate it all cleanly.

After burping, he picked up the bowl and thought, 'I happened to go to the second hall, passed by the fire room, and returned the empty bowl myself.' Then he took the bowl in one hand, pushed open the door with the other, and stepped into the inner courtyard.

He walked to the door of the fire room, and because he kept his head down all the way, no one noticed his identity, so the man in front pushed him and carried a load of sheep into the fire room.

'Cai Lao, they ate fish yesterday, and they want to eat sheep today? How can you be so extravagant...... ' He wondered to himself, and turned to the paper window to listen to the people inside.

I only heard a guy say: "Tired to death, the county has to eat soft-shelled turtle soup this morning, we took the internal organs, and took the intestines, and we worked for a long time before we finished it and sent it to the county master; I thought it would be fine, rest and rest, but the restaurant told us to get sheep again, what a fucking ......"

Another voice asked, "What?" What else does the restaurant send to the county order? Isn't that place just a place that the government has sent someone to manage......

"You don't know this, that restaurant is still managed by that Wu Si!"
