Cao Xizhi stopped caring about the people in the big family, looked at Lin Feng, and said with a smile: "Lin Feng, the barrel cart is so majestic and majestic, at least three feet high. Is it difficult to make such a huge barrel cart?"
Lin Feng explained: "Fu Jun, making a barrel cart is not difficult. As long as there are blueprints, any craftsman can make it. I am willing to dedicate this blueprint to Fu Jun so that Fu Jun can collect water for irrigation throughout Fufeng County. , alleviating the drought.”
When Cao Xi heard this, he became happy.
He is an upright person. Now that Lin Feng presented the drawings of the barrel cart, he clasped his hands and said, "Lin Feng, I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the thousands of people in Fufeng County."
Lin Feng said: "The Lord has defeated me."
Cao Xizhi suddenly said: "Lin Feng, you are only serving as the county magistrate in Yongning County now. With your ability, serving as a county magistrate is really an insult to your talents. Are you willing to serve as the chief clerk in the prefecture? I promise that within one year, you will be released as an official and serve as the magistrate of a county, and it will be a high county, not a small county."
Wang Yue's face turned dark.
Cao Xizhi is poaching.
This won't work.
Wang Yue said quickly: "Master Fu, my dear brother will not go to Fufeng County. Yongning County cannot do without him right now."
Cao Xizhi flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "Wang Yue, you should know that Lin Feng is extremely talented, and it is wrong to serve as county magistrate. Such talents cannot be wasted."
Wang Yue said: "Please rest assured, my lord, that my virtuous brother's talent will not be buried. His talent cannot be measured by a bookkeeper or a county magistrate. As for the Wang family, I will ask my father to make arrangements to ensure that my virtuous brother can give full play to his talents." Director. What's more, my good brother has different ambitions and cannot be the chief registrar."
Cao Xizhi said: "Wang Yue, what does it mean that it is impossible to be the chief registrar? Co-author, the chief registrar of the prefecture's mansion, can't compare to you, the county magistrate of Yongning County? Although the Wang family is powerful, they have to directly arrange people to serve as high-ranking officials. It’s not easy yet.”
Wang Yue said: "Master Fu, it is impossible for my dear brother to leave. No matter what you say, this matter is impossible."
Cao Xizhi said: "I think it's okay."
Two people started arguing.
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, especially the big families in Yongning County. When they looked at Lin Feng, their eyes were even more fearful. There was even a hint of flattery and flattery deep in his eyes.
Lin Feng is different.
Before, all of them looked down on Lin Feng, thinking that Lin Feng was just a son-in-law.
Even if Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao now leave the Bai family and start their own businesses. But in their eyes, once you have a son-in-law, you will always have a son-in-law. If you leave, it is just a cover-up.
But what Lin Feng received was not only Wang Yue's respect, but also Cao Xizhi's respect.
Cao Xizhi directly appointed Lin Feng as the chief bookkeeper.
This is horrible.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Yue and Cao Xizhi who were arguing, and said with a chuckle: "I am very grateful to you for your great respect. However, my appointment in Yongning County is only temporary."
"Even I, the county magistrate, don't do anything and don't do anything. I just have a name. I don't have this ambition, so please forgive me. However, I have a place where I can be useful. I can help you to the best of my ability."
For Lin Feng, it was impossible for him to be the chief bookkeeper.
That wasn't his plan.
What Lin Feng has to do is to first build personal connections, then establish a foundation in Qin and intervene in Qin's national affairs. Then, in the future, we can use Qin's help to fight against Xia.
If we simply get promoted from one level to another, how can we reach the first level of the Six Books in the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse?
This is what Lin Feng doesn't want.
Cao Xizhi looked at Lin Feng and sighed: "Well, if you don't want to, forget it. Let's go back to the county office first and arrange for someone to guard the irrigation."
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Fu, please!"
"Let's go."
Cao Xizhi took the initiative to board the carriage and returned directly.
Wang Yue and Lin Feng also began to return.
Zhou Cheng and the others did not stay, but left on their own initiative. At the moment, they have to raise money individually and hand over this large amount of money so that they can give an explanation to Cao Xizhi.
The carriage went straight back to the county government office. Cao Xizhi did not immediately interrogate Li Qian. Instead, he looked at Wang Yue and Lin Feng and solemnly said: "Wang County Magistrate, Lin County Magistrate, regarding Fu Gang, I would like to thank you both." . As a father, my daughter was murdered, but the murderer has never been caught. Thank you for allowing my daughter to get her revenge."
Wang Yue said quickly: "This matter is not my fault, it was my good brother who killed Fu Gang."
Lin Feng said: "Fu Jun, you can kill Fu Gang because he came to kill me. That's why you know his situation. This matter is just a coincidence, so Fu Jun doesn't have to do this."
Cao Xizhi shook his head and said solemnly: "No matter what, you Lin Feng are very kind to my Cao family. Especially this time of drought in Fufeng County, it has not rained yet, which is very troublesome."
"Not only did you offer the cart, but with just one sentence, you raised hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for me. You can help me alleviate the drought and save countless people from drought. You are even more kind to me."
"This time, I owe you a favor. If you are of any use to me, Cao Xizhi, please let me know. I, Cao Xizhi, will never refuse even if I make a mistake."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "If Mr. Fu says this, I won't be polite."
Cao Xizhi nodded and said again: "Although there is a lot of evidence here with Li Qian, sufficient witnesses and physical evidence are needed for a specific trial. Therefore, you should prepare for this matter and make sure it is completely settled in one trial. You can’t delay, you have to be fast.”
"Once there is procrastination, the final consequences will be disastrous. After all, the Xianyang Li family is very likely to intervene."
"Furthermore, the evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason may not be proven, and in the end, it may cause problems. I can resist one or two in Fufeng County. But when the Li family intervenes, it is difficult for me to resist."
Cao Xizhi said: "So, you still need to make some preparations."
Wang Yue said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Fu, I have already sent a letter to my father. My father will contain the Li family."
Cao Xi said: "It is best to have your father in charge. I will give you one day to prepare. Tomorrow morning, I will interrogate Li Qian. I also want to go to the local area to take a look at the ditch and understand the situation of the barrel truck. As well as the experience of local dredging, so that we can make arrangements when we return."
Wang Yue said: "Master Fu, please go slowly."
Lin Feng said: "Master Fu, please go slowly."
Cao Xizhi nodded, turned around and left. Only Lin Feng and Wang Yue were left in the hall.
Wang Yue said: "Brother, at this point, the Li family has completely collapsed. Next, we will collect a large amount of evidence, including witnesses and physical evidence, to suppress Li Qian in one go."
Lin Feng smiled softly and said: "Brother, we will not conduct the interrogation at the pace of Governor Cao. The Li family has great influence and strength. If Li Qian is to be executed, the county and government offices have no right and must submit a memorial. Submit it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review.”
"But when the case reaches the Criminal Department and the Li family intervenes, it can be retried. So it's easy to convict. But it's not easy to kill. Our intention to stabilize Li Qian before was to prevent the Li family from getting involved and capture Li Qian. .”
"Now that Li Qian has been taken down, the next step is to let Li Qian die so that his crimes can be completely and directly confirmed, giving the Li family a chance to solve the problem that they cannot refute."
Lin Feng said: "This is the safest thing."
Wang Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "My dear brother, what's the plan?"
At this moment, Wang Yue was even more looking forward to it.
Although he has a gentle temperament, he also knows that Li Qian is his enemy, and the Li family is the enemy of the Wang family. Wang Yue did not show any mercy when dealing with Li Qian.
