The rich and powerful who are not in power will definitely make money.
People of noble birth will always pursue either power or money. For thousands of years, it is almost impossible to see a powerful person who does not seek power and wealth.
This is Li Qinzai’s understanding of ancient times.
Prince Teng does not hold power, Mrs. Korea does not hold power, and the Lord of Jinxiang County in front of her does not hold power either. So, what do they need?
There were either clansmen or relatives in Bingzhou. No wonder Li Zhi found it difficult and insisted that Li Qinzai come to Bingzhou to solve the problem.
Now Li Qinzai also finds it difficult.
If not handled properly, the combined energy of these clan relatives and relatives is astonishing. Even Li Zhi may not be able to protect him if he goes to Chang'an court.
Natural disasters are natural disasters for the common people, but they are carnivals for the powerful.
Disasters are variables, and variables mean profits can be made from them.
Li Qinzai wants to believe that the Tang Dynasty is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the world is, there can be no bad people.
So, let’s fight the bad guys this time.
"It's late at night, County Lord, please come back." Li Qinzai said with a smile.
The Lord of Jinxiang County stared at his face: "Are you still unwilling to listen to the advice? You are a pillar of the country who is valued by His Majesty after meritorious service in three dynasties. With your ability, if you want to pursue an official career, you don't have to seek merit in Bingzhou. Returning to Chang'an still has a bright future."
Li Qinzai smiled: "I don't seek a future, I just want a way for the people to survive."
The Lord of Jinxiang County looked sarcastic: "Are you an upright official who asks for orders for the people?"
Li Qinzai said lazily: "Then let's put it another way. I have been a bad guy for many years, and I want to be a good guy once in a while to try a different taste, okay?"
The Lord of Jinxiang County was speechless for a long time, then turned around and left without saying a word.
"The future is dangerous, so take care of yourself."
Li Qinzai stared at her graceful back, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Is this woman a friend or an enemy?
…………
Back at the Governor's Mansion, Song Sen was already waiting in the bedroom.
When Li Qinzai stepped into the bedroom, Song Sen suddenly appeared from the darkness. Li Qinzai screamed in fright, and without thinking, he subconsciously slapped him in the face.
There was a crisp slap, and the slap hit Song Sen squarely on the cheek.
For a long time, the two sat facing each other in the room. There were five fingerprints on Song Sen's face, and Li Qinzai stared at him with an unkind expression.
"Do you realize your mistake?" Li Qinzai said with a calm face.
Song Sen tugged at the corner of his mouth bitterly, and the stinging pain on his cheek made him take a deep breath.
"I know I was wrong..." Song Sen said weakly.
"Where did you go wrong?"
"Xiaoguan shouldn't have put his face on County Uncle Li's palm. County Uncle Li's hand is throbbing and hurting. It's Xiaguan's fault."
Li Qinzai was stunned. He didn't expect Song Sen's consciousness to be so high. This misrecognition caught even him off guard.
After coughing twice, Li Qinzai said: "Putting your face into my palm is certainly one of your mistakes, but your biggest mistake is..."
With a sudden look of anger on his face, Li Qinzai said coldly: "Who allowed you to enter my house? Don't you understand any rules? If there is anything shameful in my house, wouldn't you have discovered it?"
Song Sen was shocked. This reason... was so damn reasonable.
Subconsciously, he turned his head and observed: "What's so shameful about Mr. Li?"
"My sister accidentally got lost yesterday and was abducted by me and locked up in a secret room." Li Qinzai said without blinking.
Song Sen smiled and held up his hands: "It's a pity that Xiaguan doesn't have a sister. If he does, it would be Xiaguan's sister who is blessed."
"Tell me, why are you sneaking around in my house?"
Song Sen said in a low voice: "Li County Bo asked his subordinate to inquire about Bingzhou Biejia Wang Shifu, and he already has the news."
"Talk about it."
Song Sen showed admiration and couldn't help but said: "Good man! Good official!"
"who?"
"Wang Shifu."
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes: "How good is it?"
"Wang Shifu was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, but he seemed to have little contact with his tribe. It is said that the elders of the tribe forcibly separated him from his beloved woman, and instead made a marriage for him that he didn't like. From then on, he fell in love with the tribe. The knot in their hearts has not been resolved for many years, and he and the Wang family in Taiyuan have become increasingly distant."
Li Qinzai said calmly: "What else?"
"The official position of Bingzhou Biejia was not recommended by the Wang family of Taiyuan, but was sent by Wang Shifu himself after being selected as a Jinshi. Although Bingzhou was originally Taiyuan County and the birthplace of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Shifu did not provide these to his clan members. What a convenience.”
"The year before last, because of the Wang family's unauthorized land enclosure, Wang Shifu mercilessly exposed it to the court, destroying the Wang family's land enclosure plan. From then on, the relationship between Wang Shifu and the Wang family became increasingly tense."
Li Qinzai smiled: "He is actually a good and selfless official, which is amazing!"
"Wang Shifu was also a good official praised by all the people in his other posts. In these years, he presided over the construction of river embankments, reclamation of wasteland, and household registration. He also corrected several unjust cases with clear eyesight. The people highly respected Wang Shifu, and he was very popular among the people in the prefecture."
Song Sen said with a smile: "If Mr. Li County is worried, you might as well visit the people and ask anyone about Wang Shifu's reputation. Anyway, after Baiqisi inquired, he really can't find anything suspicious about Wang Shifu."
Li Qinzai smiled noncommittally, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Since Wang Shifu is a good official, let's not investigate him and let someone else investigate."
"Who should I replace?"
"Can we check all the grain merchants on the ground in Bingzhou?"
Song Sen hesitated for a moment and said, "I can check it, but it will take a lot of time. There are no less than a hundred grain merchants of all sizes in Bingzhou City. Baiqisi has limited manpower, so I'm afraid it won't be able to handle it."
After a pause, Song Sen said curiously: "After County Uncle Li came to Bingzhou, he first took his troops out of the city to hunt, then went to the Korean lady's night banquet, and also checked the officials of the Governor's Office. Aren't you... here to solve the drought? ?”
Li Qinzai glanced sideways and said, "You mean I'm not doing my job properly? We're old acquaintances, so there's no need to be so tactful."
"I'd better be tactful, sir. I don't want to put my face in your palm again."
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "The drought in Bingzhou... is very difficult. I just came here and I have no connections in Bingzhou. I can't count on the officials and people, so I can only find another way to solve it."
"What else can I do?"
Li Qinzai looked in the direction of Chang'an and said with a smile: "If a dandy like me encounters trouble that cannot be solved, of course he has to ask the backstage to bring in reinforcements. Otherwise, what else? Do you have to rely on yourself?"
…………
Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.
The eunuch held the memorial and rushed to Chengxiang Hall.
In the Chengxiang Hall, Li Zhi was leaning over, smiling as Empress Wu helped him write and review the memorial. Li Zhi's eyes were smiling, and he pointed out the words in the memorial from time to time.
After the eunuch entered the palace and saw that the Tian family couple was in love, he did not dare to say a word and waited obediently inside the palace gate.
I don't know how long it took before the Tian family couple finished showing off their affection.
Li Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at the eunuch, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Li Qinzai, the governor of Bingzhou, has sent me a memorial on horseback. Please read it to your Majesty."
