However, in order to disgust Lu Zhizhang, he still said angrily, "Mr. Lu, I think our Dali Temple should give you a model worker award. After all, you haven't even finished the case in hand, and you want to take it again." What’s the new case? Master Lu, have you found the governor of Yunzhou?”
Faced with Zhao Shuhai's sarcasm, Lu Zhizhang only said a few words in a low voice, "Lu has his own sense of responsibility for Lu's affairs, so he doesn't need to worry about Mr. Zhao."
"Also, Mr. Zhao, thank you. What Mr. Lu did was all Mr. Lu's responsibility. Mr. Zhao has time to find trouble with me here. It's better to deal with the matter at hand quickly. If you don't deal with it quickly, For today’s business, I’m afraid you won’t be able to have fun in the fireworks building tonight.”
Upon hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhao Shuhai's face turned crooked with anger.
"Lu Zhizhang, don't give me a toast or drink as a penalty! Do you think that because Gao Yizhong is your teacher, you are awesome? Let me tell you, no matter how loyal Gao Yizhong is, that bad old man is nothing!"
When Zhao Shuhai turned against him, he would say anything to others, and Lu Zhizhang didn't care either.
He just likes to watch Zhao Shuhai seek death. The more he talks, the further away from his goal he becomes.
After all, this Dali Temple is not their Zhao Mansion. There are many eyes and ears here, as well as many mouthpieces.
His words will definitely reach the ears of the Holy Spirit within today.
He did not believe that his Majesty would continue to use Zhao Shuhai, who was so headstrong and had no intention of ignoring his old minister.
However, he still had to pretend to be indignant on his face: "Mr. Zhao, don't go too far with what you said! You are questioning my mentor, and you are also questioning the Holy One."
"Lu Zhizhang, stop being so hypocritical. Do you think you..."
Seeing Zhao Shuhai speak again, the silent Dali Temple suddenly heard an old man coughing softly, "This is Dali Temple! It's not your own home. If you have any questions, go make noise elsewhere."
After saying this, the old man in purple official uniform with white beard and hair walked across the door and sat in the main hall.
This is Xulu, the minister of Dali Temple.
Although he is ready to retire and return to his hometown.
But after all, he is the boss in name only, and his recommendation is also a key point in which of them can become the Minister of Dali Temple this time, so neither of them dares to be presumptuous in front of the Minister of Dali Temple.
Lu Zhizhang just bowed and said, "My lord, I'm teaching you a lesson. This official has gone out to handle a case."
Xu Lu just nodded when he heard this.
At this moment, Zhao Shuhai only said in a pretentious manner, "Since you are going to handle the case, you should go earlier. Why are you still chatting with others?"
After saying this, Zhao Shuhai immediately went to help Xulu who was trembling while walking.
And Xu Lu did not refuse Zhao Shuhai's support.
Although this old man is old, he has learned a lot after so many years of hard work in officialdom.
He showed no partiality to either of his two subordinates, showed no favoritism to either one, and did not reject their overtures.
It can be said that Xu Lu has not resigned until the last moment and goes into seclusion. Who is he or Zhao Shuhai? I don't know who the old man prefers.
Lu Zhizhang watched Zhao Shuhai helping Xu Lu back to the main seat. He just took a deep look, and then immediately turned around and left.
The entourage behind him immediately followed him, "Sir, where are we going now?"
Lu Zhizhang said indifferently, "Of course I'll go to Fangshi Wuhou Pu on these lists."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the follower only said, "Sir, they should come here on their own. Why should we go all the way for such a trivial matter?"
However, Lu Zhizhang immediately reprimanded the entourage, "Idiot, if you wait for them to come, they may not come here today, even if you wait until next year."
The attendant immediately said, "That can't be done. Sir, you are the young minister of Dali Temple. How can they, a small Wuhou shop, not even give you this face?"
Lu Zhizhang didn't want to hear this, but he sneered again and again, "Young Minister of Dali Temple, Young Minister of Dali Temple is nothing.
I'm not affiliated with a department. I went there in person, and it was considered polite for them to give me a face. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhizhang walked straight forward.
The first place they went to was Yueyafang. When the people from Yueyafang heard that it was the young minister from Dali Temple, they received him warmly.
However, when Lu Zhizhang asked them if they had found all the people on the list they gave them, the group began to resist.
"Sir, it's not that we don't want to do things for you. In fact, we in Fangshi also have a lot of things to be busy with. Look, our princes are all on duty outside now. How can we have time to deal with the things you asked us to do? You want Don’t wait any longer?” The Commander Wu who confessed could not help but start playing Tai Chi in front of Lu Zhizhang.
Seeing this man resisting, the entourage behind Lu Zhizhang immediately said, "Bold! Do you know that we are ordered to investigate the Yunzhou Prefect's case. Do you want to be punished for being so disrespectful?"
Upon hearing the words of the follower, the other party did not fight you. He only showed a scared look, "Oh! Sir, please don't scare the villain. The villain doesn't need to be scared. If you want to handle the case, we will naturally do it." We will cooperate fully, but no matter how much we cooperate, we still have to do our job well, sir, it’s not that we don’t want to help you, it’s just that I can’t spare the manpower here.”
After hearing what the other party said, Lu Zhizhang finally saw clearly the attitude of these veterans.
Whether they give in, have a positive tone, or complain, their core meaning is that you can handle this matter how you like. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, and we don't want to deal with it.
After understanding what the other party meant, Lu Zhizhang could only whisper, "Of course I understand your difficulties, and I don't want to sincerely embarrass you. Since you said that you can't allocate people, then we will arrest them personally, are you willing? Cooperate? This is just a matter of a seal. Your Excellency, you don’t even have time to stamp it, right?"
He didn't expect Lu Zhizhang to be flexible, and he just blocked the other party's path.
Hearing this, the man could only laugh awkwardly, "What did Mr. Lu say? Of course we have time to stamp it, but we don't know how to write the content, and we don't have time to write it."
Barely waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Lu Zhizhang immediately said, "It's not a big problem. I've already prepared your things, you just need to stamp them. If there are any other questions, we won't bother you."
After saying this, Lu Zhizhang actually took out the list just now.
As soon as he saw the list, Chief Wu's face became visibly panicked.
But even though he was still reluctant.
But in the end, they couldn't resist Lu Zhizhang's personal intervention, so they all just stamped their names on the list.
Lu Zhizhang was naturally very satisfied with this.
After that, he ran from city to city with these lists. In every city he passed, he handed the list to his followers, and he only asked them to arrest the suspicious persons on the list. Read the book
With this method, they gathered all the people in less than one afternoon.
They are all carriage drivers who arrived in the capital from various places this morning.
Lu Zhizhang didn't tell them what happened, only that it was a routine inspection.
Lu Zhizhang then used questions to screen them one by one.
He would carefully ask where these people entered the capital and ask them to provide their own evidence.
If the person did not come from the official road, he would ask the person to go back. If the person came from the official road, he would detain him.
However, when he asked questions, some people still tried to hide the truth with lies.
"Sir, this man is dishonest. I asked him where he was from, and he said he was coming back from Yun'an Town, his wife's natal home. However, I checked his directions and found that he had never left the city during this period. "One of the attendants who asked the question only pushed a man who was about thirty or forty years old, with a thin build, evil eyebrows, and a big plump face.
Lu Zhizhang glanced at the man coldly, and then asked him expressionlessly, "What's your name?"
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, that person
He just said listlessly, "Li Youtian."
After hearing this, Lu Zhizhang also looked through Li Youtian's records.
The registration of today's carriage and horse he saw on the book clearly belonged to Li Youtian, but there was no traffic record or even road guide for Li Youtian.
If you want to leave the city, you must register.
His carriages and horses were all registered. It was impossible for the road guide not to be registered.
Lu Zhizhang felt strange, so he immediately asked Li Youtian, "Li Youtian, please tell me honestly. Your carriage and horses were recorded at the gate of the city, but your road guide was not registered. How did you get out without a road guide." "
Upon hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, Li Youtian immediately showed a frown on his face and said, "Sir, what are you here to investigate?"
Unexpectedly, Li Youtian was quite alert, and Lu Zhizhang could probably guess what the other party was worried about, so Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not here to investigate what you did with your carriages and horses." , I just need you to cooperate with us for a routine inspection. You only need to tell us whether you lent your carriage and horse to others?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhang guessed right what he was hiding.
At that moment, Li Youtian didn't dare to hide anything, so he could only whisper, "Sir, I lent the carriage to someone else. The person who borrowed the carriage is Fang Dali, the butcher next door to me. Please forgive me."
Hearing that he had indeed lent the carriage, Lu Zhizhang only asked, "Why did Fang Dali lend you the carriage?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's question, Li Youtian immediately shook his head.
Lu Zhizhang felt suspicious and couldn't help but continue: "What do you mean by shaking your head? Aren't you curious about what he did by borrowing your carriage? Or what his purpose was in borrowing your carriage?"
When Li Youtian heard this, he just said in a low voice, "How dare a villain interfere with these people's affairs? Anyway, the villain only takes the money to drive the car. As for what they do with the villain's car, the villain doesn't care."
