Zhu Biao frowned and pursed his lips without saying anything. After a while, he said, "Okay, I got it."
He called Li Jinglong over again: "Anyway, you don't need to do anything about the salt affairs this month. The government office below has opened a dental shop privately without the permission of the court. You go down and check."
Damn it, then am I not the imperial envoy? !
Li Jinglong was ecstatic, but he had a very embarrassed look on his face: "Uncle, I am a person who speaks dishonestly. I'm afraid it's hard to investigate."
Lao Zhu directly removed all his official positions that day, and he is now an ordinary citizen.
If you don't take the opportunity to ask Zhu Biao for an official post, how long will it take?
Zhu Biao thought for a while and took out Zhu Bai's waist badge: "Take this with you. When you come back after completing the investigation, return it to this palace. As for the position, I will give you a seventh-grade supervisory censor first."
Li Jinglong suppressed his ecstasy and said with a solemn expression: "Uncle, don't worry, Jiujiang will definitely find out everything."
He has equated this brand with "Shangfang Sword".
Seventh grade is seventh grade! !
Zhu Biao thought of Xu Huizu's "brilliant record" in inspecting the granary last time, and added: "Keep a low profile. Only investigate cases, not handle them. After the investigation, report back to this palace, and this palace will deal with it on its own."
Li Jinglong nodded: "Okay."
Zhu Biao was still worried. The main reason is that Li Jinglong is too unreliable.
He thought for a moment and said, "I want Xu Huizu and Zeng Bingzheng to go with you."
Although Xu Huizu made a mistake last time, maybe he learned a lesson from it? Besides, he is much older and more familiar with officialdom.
Zeng Bingzheng was honest and incorruptible. If Li Jinglong was deceived by those people's rhetoric, he could still bring him back.
Moreover, Zeng Bingzheng has the right to report directly to Lao Zhu, which can make up for the low official ranks of the other two young people.
Li Jinglong was unwilling in his heart, but he was also afraid that he would make another mistake, so he hurriedly handed over his hand: "I obey."
Zhu Biao called Xu Huizu to talk about the matter again, and said: "Since Jiujiang is the leader, you can't be higher than him, and you can only be a seventh-rank supervisory censor."
That's great, I guessed it right.
I finally waited until Zhu Biao had another day with me.
Although this time I can only be the deputy of this young boy, even though he is only a seventh-grade official.
But as long as I can be used again, Zhu Bai will find that I am much better than Li Jinglong.
Moreover, this is an imperial envoy handling a case, an imperial envoy is handling a case! !
Significance.
Xu Huizu's eyes were red with excitement and he hurriedly saluted Zhu Biao: "I understand. I will definitely live up to the prince's trust."
Zhu Biao said: "When we return to the palace, dozens of pro-military captains will follow and protect you. Although we are not handling cases on this trip, there is no guarantee that someone will jump over the wall in a hurry."
Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu's hair stood up when they heard this.
Zhu Biao returned to the palace and reported the matter to Lao Zhu. If you want to go down to investigate the case, you must get the support of the local magistrate. Only if Lao Zhu knows it can he do it.
Secondly, Lao Zhu’s pro-army captain must be used.
Lao Zhu nodded: "It's okay to ask them to go down and exercise. It's not a big deal anyway. These people are old and young, and they match well."
In fact, he wanted to say that Zeng Bingzheng was more upright than flexible.
Xu Hui was proud of his talent and used to look upward, so he couldn't see many things.
Li Jinglong has no merits except loyalty.
But now I can't find a more suitable person to do it, so let's do it.
He called Erhu in: "Order thirty people for Biao'er. Three people, ten for each, is just right. Just pay for it from the Guanya Bureau."
Erhu agreed and immediately went to the pro-military captain and asked, "I have an errand. I want to go to Hangzhou with Mr. Li Jinglong."
Everyone bowed their heads upon hearing this.
Haha, whoever wants to do this kind of drudgery can do it.
Even the Li family's own soldiers couldn't stand Li Jinglong.
Besides, since Zhu Bai was not here, the government and dental bureau was said to be responsible for the expenses, but in fact it was the national treasury that ultimately paid for it.
Lao Zhu is also a picky person, and it is even harder to get some money from him.
Erhu saw that no one recommended himself, so he could only nominate thirty new recruits from the pro-military captain's mansion.
------
The three of them, Li Jinglong, packed lightly and set off from Yingtian to the nearest first-level official dental bureau of Hangzhou Prefecture the next day.
The tooth chief of the Hangzhou Official Tooth Bureau, whose surname is Tu, was originally the chief of the second-level official tooth bureau in Changzhou. Because of his outstanding performance, several more official tooth bureaus were added. In addition, each official tooth bureau rotated his appointment, so he was promoted to the post. The teeth grow in Hangzhou.
Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu had never dealt with him, but looking at his dignified appearance and upright face, they always felt that he did not seem to be a corrupt or evil person.
Zeng Bingzheng is also an honest man. When he comes, he just says: "Look at the account books. I want all the books for the past six months."
Tu Yachang hurriedly took out all the account books and piled them on the table.
Then the three people started watching.
I looked over and over, even though I was dizzy, I couldn't see any problems.
The accounts were clear, and no errors or alterations were found.
The profit value can also match the amount paid.
Li Jinglong showed his authority: "Since there is no problem with the accounts, why is the profit so low this month?"
Tu Ya let out a long sigh: "Well, Mr. Li doesn't know that without His Highness King Xiang, the number of merchants coming to trade has suddenly decreased. We are also very anxious, but we can't go outside to attract people to trade."
Li Jinglong frowned: "Then where can they go to trade? Aren't they afraid of being cheated?"
Tu Ya Chang had a troubled expression on his face: "I don't know about this, villain."
Li Jinglong was very angry and slapped the table: "I don't know what I'm asking. What do I need from you?"
Tu Ya Chang lowered his head, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Who are you?" What qualifications do you have to slam the table in front of me? When you came to the Guanya Bureau to learn to be a broker, you were not qualified! !
Li Jinglong was at his wits' end when he saw that Tu Ya Chang was not frightened by the slap on the table, and that there was no second move available.
He couldn't get off the stage and looked at Xu Huizu.
Xu Huizu didn't want to waste time here and said, "Since the accounts are fine, it's useless for us to waste time here. Let's go to the trading hall and have a look."
Li Jinglong hurriedly walked down the steps and said to Tu Yazhang: "In this case, you can take me down to have a look."
Tu Ya Chang laughed out loud: Damn it, you are a seventh-grade official, you have a lot of airs. When King Xiang came, he was not as arrogant as you.
When they arrived at the trading hall below, Li Jinglong saw a problem.
The buying and selling information on the wall was much less than what he had seen at the Guanya General Administration before.
But it's useless to see the problem. It just proves what I just said about Tu Teeth's growth.
Li Jinglong frowned: How to check.
We've obviously reached a dead end.
It would be great if Zhu Bai was here, that guy's mind was spinning very fast, and he would have thought of a way to do it by now.
The two assistants around him now, one is an old man who looks at him blankly and is not very smart, and the other is a playboy who thinks he is a dandy with his nose in the sky, neither of them has any practical use.
