Chapter 216: Blessings and Misfortunes
"What?"
Taihe County, Li Family Lobby.
Li Zhiping frowned, looked at the panicked family in front of him, and asked with a look of surprise:
"The officials of the county yamen, including the county zun, all of them were put in prison by a big man who suddenly appeared?"
"Yes, master."
The family member knelt on the stone slab and responded: "Now the county government is the big man who is in charge, and when the small one was in the past, the person who guarded the gate of the county government was no longer the former office, and I heard that the big man is now checking the files in the yamen." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhiping's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.
For Li Yongcheng, the county honor, he still has some concerns.
After all, since Li Yongcheng took office as the magistrate of Taihe County, in the past four years, they have cooperated quite happily with each other.
Although this guy's appetite is a bit big, but it is still a rule, so it is not unacceptable, mutual benefit and reciprocity, their Li family is not without any benefits, and every time they cooperate, the beginning and end are very clean, and there is almost no follow-up trouble.
It would be a pity for such a partner who can solve the worries of collaborators to fall like this.
Who knows if the next Taihe County Commander will be as disciplined and talkative as Li Yongcheng.
If he could, this good county lord who was accustomed to cooperating with their Li family would better survive this catastrophe and continue to stay in Taihe County, so that it would be in the interests of their Li family.
After thinking for a moment, Li Zhiping asked again: "Do you know who the big man's surname is?" What's the matter? ”
Jia Ding thought about it for a while, and then said: "I heard that the adult's surname is Lu, what kind of right waiter." ”
After a pause, he organized his language a little, and then added: "That Lord Lu is very mysterious, he came to our county without any pomp and circumstance, as if he jumped out of a stone, and suddenly Dongshi appeared, and then used thunderous means to make people take down the county lord and all of them for questioning, and he didn't even give a little leeway." ”
"By the way, there are three fairy-like women with him......"
Hearing Jiading's story, Li Zhiping looked contemplative.
"The official surnamed Lu, and it's the right squire... Land... Lu ......"
After a few breaths, he didn't know what suddenly came to mind, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he exclaimed suddenly:
"Lu Chen?!"
The family was taken aback, and hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to speak again.
And after Li Zhiping realized that there was only one squire surnamed Lu in the court now, his face became visibly difficult to look at with the naked eye.
Lu Chen's name may not be so well-known in other places, but in the land of Gyeonggi, especially for those with a little status at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is definitely a household name.
Li Zhiping is naturally no exception, and as the head of the Taihe County family, he knows much more than others.
In the hands of this evil star who ignores the rules of officialdom, there is almost no chance of survival.
In other words, none of the people he is targeting will have a good end.
King Yu is like this, the officials of the officialdom of Sui and Yu are like this, and Li Yongcheng is the county order of Qipin, how can he be spared?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Zhiping decisively gave up the unrealistic thoughts in Fang Cai's mind, and then called the housekeeper and handed the post to each family.
When such a big thing happened, the other families naturally did not feel unaware, and soon realized that the sky in Taihe County was very likely to change, so after receiving the invitation of the Li family, they got up and rushed to the Li family with almost no hesitation to discuss important matters.
Soon, in addition to Lin Yi, the head of the Lin family, the leading figures in Taihe County gathered together again.
The reason why it is not called Lin Yi is because Lin Yi did not know how to raise before, and the entire Lin family has been classified as the food of Taihe County, and he has completely fallen out of the list of wealthy families in Taihe County, and he is not even a third-rate family.
"Master Li."
After everyone greeted each other, Zhao Dafu went straight to the point.
"Lord Xianzun was arrested by that adult this time, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious, what should I do?"
Others spoke up.
"Yes, this Lord Lu doesn't know what his attitude is towards the matter of Taihe County's food yi, alas, ......"
"Who's to say it isn't? If he directly overturned the plan formulated by the previous county lord and re-designated the food eup, or was designated by the Taihe County Prince, wouldn't we be like the Lin family, all of them would be used as food eups? ”
"This matter is revealed, maybe Lord Nalu will think that we have participated in the relief of food, or be angry with us, and maybe he will personally designate us as a food town."
"In this way, wouldn't the family business we have accumulated over the past hundred years be given to the Taihe County Prince?"
"How's that going?!"
They are not worried that Li Yongcheng will implicate them if he falls, after all, it is not once or twice that they cooperate with each other, and they all know that Li Yongcheng does things neatly and cleanly, so there is nothing worth caring about in this regard.
Li Zhiping sighed and said in a deep voice: "If Lord Lu really wants to do this, there is nothing to be done in the future. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces sank.
Everyone had a depressing feeling that the sky was about to fall.
It's suffocatingly depressing.
"Or ......"
A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious silk said with some uncertainty: "Let's contribute together, prepare a heavy gift, and send it to Lord Lu's mansion ......."
However, before he could finish his words, everyone looked at him like a fool.
"Outside of Xue Yuan, no one will stop you if you want to die, but please don't bother us."
Damn, who doesn't know that Lu Chen has always had a clean breeze on his sleeves and never accepted gifts from anyone, and as the prince of Xingping County, he already has a food estate, and he is the first favorite minister of the dynasty, the emperor's reward is soft, and all kinds of natural treasures and elixirs are estimated to be full of warehouses, just the assets that can see the light are already quite scary, it is necessary to risk ruining your reputation to ask for this something?
Besides, there is no room for sand in this guy's eyes, and if anyone dares to bribe him, even if it is just to "make a friend", he will be targeted.
Isn't this looking for death?
Hearing him say this, the middle-aged man immediately sat down.
After this little episode passed, everyone couldn't help but put on a mask of pain at the thought that Lu Chen might overturn the previous list of supplements, and then draw up a new list for them.
At this moment, they suddenly envied Lin Yi a little.
The Lin family did not participate in the whole process of mutual aid this time, and they looked like they were not afraid of power, and they would definitely be able to gain Lu Chen's favor, if Lu Chen redrew the list of supplements, it was very likely that the Lin family would be excluded, so that the Lin family could be preserved.
In other words, the Lin family didn't do anything this time, and they didn't pay anything, so they escaped a catastrophe.
How can this not make them envious and jealous?
"You don't have to be too pessimistic."
After a long silence, Li Zhiping suddenly spoke again.
"No one wants to settle in Montenegro, this mutual aid grain, almost all the people in the city have paid it, just to keep it safe, and no matter what happened to the county lord before, as long as he represented the imperial court at the time, the government can't go back, otherwise the court is so dishonest to the people, the order is changed, and the people of the whole city will definitely not agree, so isn't Lord Lu dedicated to the people? Public opinion is like this, he can't force it, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone thought for a while, and then their eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems like... That's the truth!
Zhao Dafu slapped his thigh: "That's right! The people of the whole city have paid mutual aid food, and this matter has been decided anyway, if Lord Lu forcibly changes the list of relocated people, how can the people agree? ”
Others were quick to react.
"And this time we are just simply helping each other to keep food safe, and nothing else has been done, strictly speaking, aside from the matter of the county lord, we are essentially contributing food and efforts to the imperial court, no matter how Lord Lu is, he shouldn't target us, right?"
"Yes is the pole is the pole ......"
Everyone said a word, and their expressions gradually became relaxed.
At the same time, I was also ashamed of envy of the Lin family just now.
At the moment of the catastrophe, the Lin family didn't want to be in the same boat with them, so they were so maverick and didn't know how to lift, so they deserved to go to Montenegro to eat ashes, and live forever to make cattle and horses for the Taihe County Prince.
What is there to envy such a person?
So the topic was revealed.
Then everyone began to discuss, without Li Yongcheng, a "good county respect", how to proceed with the next business and other matters, or how to deal with the possible changes in the future.
And the truth is exactly what they expected.
Lu Chen really didn't intend to overturn Li Yongcheng's relocation list, but it was impossible to say whether this was a good thing for them, or for those who tried everything to avoid becoming the food of Taihe County at all costs.
