Magistrate Ma’s trip was unjust.
Officials from the Ministry of Industry found that Li Qinzai's group had extraordinary origins and did not look like ordinary bankers. After repeatedly checking the roster, they were still uneasy and sent people overnight to check with the Weinan County Magistrate.
The people sent to Weinan County Yamen described Li Qinzai's appearance and demeanor. Magistrate Ma felt a little nervous at that time.
From the description, this guy is clearly Hou Benhou of Li County.
As for the people brought by Li County Marquis, they were so young and dressed in coarse cloth, but they were all very handsome. County Magistrate Ma naturally knew that Li Qinzai had set up a school in Ganjingzhuang, and the disciples he accepted were either princes or rich and prodigal sons, and each one was older than the last. .
Now Li County Marquis actually takes these disciples to the construction site to move bricks?
It's your business to know how to play, especially don't get me involved, okay?
No matter who of you cuts a hole on the construction site, it will be a huge disaster for Magistrate Tsushima.
Someone under your command ran to the construction site in Puzhou and was injured. You can put a knife on your neck to thank the world.
Yes, in a society where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, it is so unreasonable.
After confirming that it was Li Qinzai and those wealthy disciples, Magistrate Ma immediately set off from Weinan County Yamen and drove all night to the palace construction site in Puzhou.
While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he saluted Li Qinzai and glanced at him casually, "What the hell!" The fourth prince, His Royal Highness King Xi, the seventh prince, His Royal Highness King Ying, the second son of General Qibi, the grandson of Shangguan Shilang, and the second son of Prime Minister Xu Zuo...
What kind of magical combination is this?
At this moment, these powerful children were dressed like farmers, wearing coarse cloth short shirts and straw sandals on their feet. Their fair and tender calves were exposed, covered with mud spots, and their faces were black and red.
This group of people looked like they had just escaped from the north, and they had been robbed by bandits along the way...
Magistrate Ma's legs were weak, his face was pale and trembling, and he stepped forward to greet each other. From the beginning to the end of the ceremony, he never straightened his waist.
Qi Bizhen was arguing with the officials at the construction site and was furious. Seeing Magistrate Ma salute, Qi Bizhen pointed at him and looked at Li Sujie: "Who is this guy?"
Li Sujie didn't know anyone like Magistrate Ma. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Ganjingzhuang Academy. Magistrate Ma always avoided Ganjingzhuang. He was in awe of these powerful children and didn't dare to see them inside.
"She should be an official, right?" Li Sujie looked at Magistrate Ma.
Magistrate Ma hurriedly introduced himself: "The lower official is Ma Fushan, the magistrate of Weinan County. I am here to pay my respects to Mr. Qibi."
Qi Bizhen pointed at Magistrate Ma and said: "Who cares about you, officer, get out of the way! Come here, you bastard, and we will have to settle the matter just now. This matter is not over yet."
Magistrate Ma immediately dodged to the side and felt at ease as a common man.
What happened at the Puzhou construction site has nothing to do with the Weinan County Magistrate. Do whatever you like.
The officials who had just argued with Qi Bizhen now saw that several superior officers were looking at this group of people with awe and respect. Knowing that they had offended a big shot, their faces instantly turned pale. They no longer looked domineering, but stepped forward tremblingly.
"I don't know, my official..."
Qi Bizhen interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, what are the next rules? Are you going to jail me, or beat me up? You decide, I'll take it all."
The official showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "I know my mistake, please forgive me. I really don't know your identity, and I didn't mean to offend you... I apologize to you."
As he spoke, the official bowed his head and did not get up for a long time.
Qi Bizhen still wants to show off her authority, but Li Qinzai next to her is impatient. You are a supporting role, why do you have so many scenes? Stealing the spotlight, you know?
"It's almost done. If you want to show off your power, go back to Chang'an City and do it." Li Qinzai said coldly.
Qi Bizhen, who looked arrogant, immediately put away his expression and became respectful and honest in the blink of an eye.
The change of expression was so fast that the people around him were amazed. Several officials on the construction site looked at Li Qinzai.
If all these people are little devils who are not easy to mess with, and the young county prince Dandan who took the lead easily suppressed them with just one sentence, then this young county prince is obviously even more difficult to mess with...
The official from the Ministry of Works waved his hand and ordered the few officials watching to disperse, and then stepped forward to greet him politely.
The official felt a little sad and angry, but he didn't dare to show it. From the mouth of Magistrate Ma, he learned that the man in front of him was actually the grandson of the famous Ying Gong, an important minister who was deeply favored by the emperor.
With such a prominent status, why did you come to my construction site to move bricks?
If you want to kill me, you can just give me a knife. There is no need to make it so grand.
Li Qinzai responded with a few words and sighed secretly in his heart.
It only took two days for his identity to be exposed. He will continue to work on the construction site, fearing that no one will dare to arrange a job for him.
Magistrate Ma bowed and called Li Qinzai aside, and then said with a grimace: "Marquis Li, please don't harm your subordinates. The imperial court is recruiting labor, so why did you take the job yourself?"
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "There are one hundred and twenty-two young men from Ganjing Village, including me and my disciples. Not one of them is young. Am I not a young man? Don't I look like a laborer? What's the point of doing it in person? No?"
Magistrate Ma was about to burst into tears: "You are a very important figure in the court. Even if your hand is even slightly scratched, Your Majesty will not spare me. Marquis Li, please show mercy and save my life." how?"
Li Qinzai looked resentful.
Of course I chose to agree, otherwise what else could I do? After his identity was exposed, he and his disciples could no longer hang out on the construction site.
"Don't worry, Magistrate Ma, just think of it as a joke. In fact, I'm just taking the disciples out for a tour to let them experience the sufferings of the people, so as not to teach a group of scum who don't know the world. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Li Qinzai comforted Yan Yuese.
Magistrate Ma looked at him deeply.
He didn't believe a word of the nonsense about taking his disciples on a trip.
This Marquis of Li County behaves quite eccentrically, and there must be a reason why he came to the palace construction site to move bricks.
No matter what the reason was, Magistrate Ma didn't want to know, let alone get involved. He just wanted to ask this great god to leave quickly and respectfully.
"If you don't leave, I will continue to travel with my disciples. You are busy with your affairs in Weinan County and leave me alone." Li Qinzai flatly refused.
Magistrate Ma wanted to persuade him again, but Li Qinzai's face suddenly darkened.
He doesn't have a good temper, and he gets impatient after talking nonsense for a few times.
Magistrate Ma did not dare to persuade him any more, so he turned around and found an official from the Ministry of Industry and told him the identities of Li Qinzai and his disciples in detail.
The more Magistrate Ma spoke, the more his heart opened up and his eyes shone brightly.
Yes, this is Puzhou, not Weinan. The identities of Li County Marquis and his disciples have also been disclosed to the officials of the Ministry of Industry. This is obviously a perfect handover. No matter what happens next, what does they have to do with me, the Weinan County Magistrate?
With a heavy slap on the thigh, Magistrate Ma finished speaking and without waiting for the official from the Ministry of Works to react, he turned around and ran away, leaving the official from the Ministry of Works looking at the direction Magistrate Ma was leaving in bewilderment.
