The fine procedure in Chang'an City is quite regular.

After several scholars paid the money, each received a receipt.

Such receipts are all in triplicate.

One copy is given to the person being fined, one copy is kept with the fines department, and the other copy needs to be handed over to the treasury.

After several scholars left with receipts, Li Zhi and the others also turned around and left Fang City.

After walking to a place where there were few people, Li Zhi immediately said to one of the guards who was following him: "Go and check the origin of these scholars." ”

After the guard left, Li Zhen immediately asked suspiciously, "Why does the ninth brother pay so much attention to them?"

Are you still afraid that the scholar will not be able to repay the debt? ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Where did the starling go?"

The clothes, shoes, hats, headscarves and ornaments of the scholar surnamed Zhang are all high-quality, which is enough to show that his family is very wealthy.

Since this person can gain fame, he will naturally not be a businessman's family.

In this way, his identity is only the son of an official or a direct family member.

If this is the case, the identities of the few people who can travel with him are not simple.

How can such a group of people, the little brother, not let people check it out? ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shen spoke: "What if you find out the details of a few people?"

Brother Jiu wouldn't want to let all of them fail the exam, right? ”

After Li Zhi heard this, he glanced at Li Shen and said, "Get out of the way, Brother Jiu, I and a few people have no grievances and no hatred, can we use it against them?" ”

Li Zhen spoke again: "Then what is the purpose of your investigation of several people?" ”

Li Zhi said: "If these people are children of the family, it will be fine, if there is someone in the family who is an official... Hey! ”

"What does Brother Jiu mean by this? Why is the smile so insidious? Li Huan asked.

"If these people are the children of officials, then their parents must be big corrupt officials." Li Zhi said with a smile.

Li Shen said: "Even if the elders in his family are corrupt officials, what can they do?"

Even if the father emperor sends someone to arrest him, the ninth brother will not be beneficial? ”

After listening to his words, Li Zhi smiled and said, "At least this king can be regarded as a meritorious report!" ”

After Li Zhi's words were finished, everyone silently raised his middle finger at him.

Li Zhi immediately asked in surprise after seeing the movements of several people, "Who taught you this action?" ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, several people immediately said in unison: "Sixth brother..."

After Li Zhi heard this, a black line immediately appeared on his forehead...

Because Li Zhi had something in his heart, several people slipped near Miyagi and separated.

After Li Zhi returned to the palace, he accompanied the Yang family and daughter to play cards with Liu An, while waiting for news about several scholars.

He did this for more than just a report.

The main purpose is to test the current ability of the Hundred Riders.

Now the Hundred Cavalry Division has just spread its manpower to all parts of Datang.

By the way, assigning them some targeted investigative tasks is not a waste of manpower at all.

The information of several scholars had been recorded in detail as early as when they checked into the inn.

Therefore, the guard quickly returned to the palace with a copy of the document that had just been copied.

Li Zhi took the information and took a cursory look at it, and found that several people were all from the distant Lingnan Road.

Specifically, it is the second generation of officials from several state capitals west of Lingnan Road.

Li Zhi frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and couldn't think of which of these state capitals would be more developed.

I can't even think of how these scholars' families can be so rich.

So Li Zhi directly handed over the information in his hand to Chai Long and said to him: "Send the information to Zhai Changsun."

Let him find out if there is a problem with these people as soon as possible. ”

After explaining this, Li Zhi continued to play cards, and did not take this matter to heart at all.

In his view, this may be just a few cases of alleged corruption.

After all, no one wanted to pay attention to that place in Lingnan Province in the first place, and the officials stationed in the past were all unrooted in the DPRK.

However, what he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for the Hundred Riders to bring back a big surprise for him.

After the first day, the officials of the court and the central government naturally began to move.

And this year, it is natural that there is an additional Wei king Li Tai in the list of many officials.

Don't look at him, he just occupies the position of a secretary and supervisor, but with the identity of his second son, it seems very different.

In addition, there have been rumors circulating in the court recently that the prince is no longer suitable for the king.

Therefore, some wall-riding factions who were not very determined ran to Li Tai's house to offer their courtesy.

It's not that these people don't want to go to the more powerful Li Zhi Mansion.

It's that Li Zhi doesn't have time to receive outsiders like them at this time of year.

Not to mention that Li Zhi has to visit three teachers and some old ministers every year.

Let's just say that there are many officials in Li Zhi's own department.

These people may not be able to speak in the court, but the relationship between them and Li Zhi is really iron!

So those who didn't stand in line before, except for a few who had moved around with Li Zhi, most of the others chose Li Tai.

When the complacent Li Tai came to Gao Shilian's house with a gift on the evening of the second year of junior high school, Gao Shilian couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

"The blue finch is here! Sit down, sit down. Gao Shilian pretended to be happy and said.

Li Tai handed the gift in his hand to the housekeeper on the side and saluted Gao Shilian.

I only heard him speak: "The student wanted to come and visit the teacher early this morning, but the guests at home have always been continuous, so it has been delayed until now. ”

Gao Shilian waved his hand and said: "You just have an official position in the court, and you just happened to catch up with the Yuan Ri, so you naturally have to be busy."

I can understand this as a bad old man. ”

Li Tai opened his mouth and said: "The student also considered that he had just lost the face of these people because he was not good as an official.

That's why I've been patient. ”

Gao Shilian said: "It's already good that you can think of this, and as for the others, you can slowly get acquainted with them." ”

Speaking of this, he changed the topic and said, "Can you participate in some of the gossip that has been circulating in the court recently?" ”

After hearing this, Li Tai asked cautiously, "Does the teacher think this will work?" ”

Gao Shilian sighed: "Do you know that this just offended the emperor's scales?" ”

After hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but wonder: "What is the father's rebellion in this regard?" ”

Gao Shilian sighed and said, "Do you know why your father made Gao Ming the crown prince early when he was only eight years old?"

Do you know why your father and the emperor have so many learned and upright people in the palace of the wise prince? ”

Li Tai lowered his head and thought for a long time, but then shook his head and said, "The student doesn't know. ”

Gao Shilian looked at Li Tai and said, "It's all because he wants to maintain the law of inheriting the throne in an orderly manner!" ”
