A moment ago, Li Li was just like Lin Daiyu and wanted to pretend to be dazed to get through this level. After Hao Tong mentioned this, he immediately perked up and stood in front of Liang Chuan and said: "Master Xia has a sharp eye like a torch. Having revealed the problem, we in Yunzhou City have discovered this type of problem a long time ago and have been doing our best to avoid such problems!"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Chuan couldn't help but look at Li Li a few more times. You old guy, you are indeed a mature guy. You can actually make a lot of moves, admit it, deny it, and push it all away!
"Brother Liang, please come here. We have prepared wine and food, and we have also invited a theater troupe, which will be set up at Happy Forest in the East Gate!"
Happy Forest! This place really exists, but I don’t know if there is a Chiang Door God!
Liang Chuan said: "All the adults are officials and can still go to restaurants and have fun!"
"We are having fun with the people, aren't we! It's not too much to do the landlord's best!"
The two of them were immediately surrounded and headed towards Happy Forest. Happy Forest is so happy. As soon as you enter the street, you can hear the happy sounds of all kinds of warblers and swallows. There are a street of wine shops and brothels. The troupe sings the northern tune that Liang Chuan doesn't understand at all. There was also a large group of cheering people in the audience.
The group of people arrived at the largest restaurant in Happy Forest. Before they were seated, Shi Shi got angry: "Master Li, what you just did is not over yet. What does that guy named Song mean? Do you think our third brother is some kind of bastard? Just scold him if you want." Damn it, except for a few of our husbands, the imperial court would also smile when they see our third brother, so is he worthy?"
The officials in Yuncheng didn't know the details of Shitou, but when Shitou opened his mouth, he shouted at Li Li. The person he was talking about was either a minister from the Sixth Ministry or the prince of the imperial court. Such a big background made them a little confused. mind.
Before the food and wine were served, Li Li asked people to bring in Yunzhou's 'specialties'. The boys moved them into a large box. When Shitou took a look, he actually opened the box in front of everyone. Wearing a neat row of silk and satin!
Everyone was stunned, this guy was so direct!
There are more direct stones. He continued to dig into the box and picked up all the pieces of silk. There was a box full of silver ingots, mixed with a lot of gold ingots. There was a lot in one box. It weighs one or two hundred pounds! What a grand gesture!
The hard currency of the Song Dynasty was copper coins, commonly known as Guan coins, which were usually a large amount of copper coins. Not many people used silver coins, and silver with good quality was often worth more than Guan coins, just like modern gold. There was no one Fixed price, but increasingly expensive.
The quality of this box of silver is quite good.
However, Liang Chuan's expression didn't even change. Shitou was so angry that he overturned the table in front of him, pointed at Li Li's nose and cursed: "You blind thing, you think our third brother cares about your stinky money, tell the truth." Let me tell you, I can make back the Forbidden City in just one day with the scraps of money you have in front of me, so I don’t have to give you these stinky money!"
Li Li was also dumbfounded. He had been scolded by his superiors for so many years, but now he actually asked an army sergeant to point his nose at him and scold him in front of his subordinates without losing any face. Li Li gritted his teeth and was almost Ask someone to kill these two people on the spot in Happy Forest!
There are official rules in officialdom. A person's life is like a skin. It's a big deal that he loses his official position, but his face is swollen after being slapped. How can he swallow a breath of bad breath!
Not only Li Li, but also other officials in Yunzhou can't stand it. After all, they are officials officially accepted by the imperial court. If this spreads out, they will really insult the saint!
"Who are you?" A Yunzhou official suddenly stood up to support Li Li. Liang Chuan finally saw clearly that this Yunzhou was probably Song Tao himself, a bachelor who formed his own faction, and the others followed the magistrate surnamed Li.
Liang Chuan pressed the stone and looked at Li Lida: "First tell me who this gentleman is and what position he holds. In the future, I can introduce Master Li's confidants to Master Xia. We will never forget each other even if we are rich or noble!"
Li Li didn't even know what went wrong. It turned out that he was here to give gifts to people, but why did his painting style suddenly change into such a bad thing?
This official was tall and tall, with a masculine look on his face and a big beard. Seeing Liang Chuan call his name, he stiffened up and responded: "A certain company will not change its name." Don’t change your surname, Yunzhou Prefecture Professor Liu Ping!”
Liang Chuan cupped his hands and said: "I'm sorry, it turns out you are a scholar. It's just that you don't go to the school to inspect and improve education, but you listen to music and watch operas here?"
Liu Ping scolded: "We entertained you with good intentions, but we were framed by you for our good intentions. However, you two have repeatedly refuted the face of our prefect, Mr. Li. Mr. Li repeatedly tolerated it because of Xia Xianggong's face. Could it be that we officials on Jingdong Road are looking at us?" It’s easy to bully!”
Shitou couldn't bear it anymore. If Liang Chuan hadn't been holding him down, he would have jumped up and beat Professor Liu Pingliu violently. He yelled back, "What did you call a cow-headed horse-faced person? You started calling us two slaves of Xia Song." , this is the etiquette of the land of Confucius and Mencius, do you want to return this to me sir? Bah!"
At this time, the officials in Yunzhou had a monolithic attitude. When they heard that this boy dared to call Xia Song by his first name, some villains wanted to take the opportunity to drive a wedge between Liang Chuan and Xia Song, but they used Shitou's words just now. article.
"What a madman! Do you dare to call Mr. Xia by his first name?"
Liang Chuan saw through their intentions, glanced at the impatient faces of everyone, and stood up and said: "My brother has a rather rough life experience. His ancestors were originally from Bashu, and his family has been a craftsman for generations!"
Liu Pingxindao was just a bastard from a craftsman's family. He thought he had some big backstage that was as hard as stone and as high as a mountain to support him. If I can't cure Liang Chuan today, I will take you down. He said with a sly smile: "Well, you little bastard. Do you know what the crime is for contempt of court!"
Liang Chuan pretended to be shocked and took a breath of cold air. He couldn't help giving Liu Ping a thumbs up and said, "Master Liu, please be careful with your words."
Liu Ping couldn't help but sneer, forget about the others, is it possible that a cat or a dog that jumped out today can trample them to the ground? Isn't he just a craftsman, how can he make great achievements?
Shitou didn't know what Liang Chuan was talking about, but there must be something good to watch. He looked at Liu Ping with an annoyed look on his face, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Liang Chuan said unhurriedly: "My brother's father brought his family to Bianjing because of the downturn in business. He also changed his surname. Oh, by the way, his original surname was Gong, and now his surname is Liu! Right Shitou! "
Shitou was stunned for a moment, then nodded sharply.
Everyone was also stunned, who had the surname Gong and Liu!
All the people present were focused on this small grudge. Hao Tong, the local official of Jeju, seemed to stay out of the matter and became more sober. Liang Chuan was heard talking about people with the surname Gong and Liu. At first, I didn't take it to heart, and suddenly my mind twitched, as if I thought of a person who was far away from the Queen Mother. Her face was like a dye shop, first it turned black, then turned from black to blue, and finally turned red and almost died. Cry out loud.
He pinched Li Li hard, then struggled to suppress his voice in his ear and said: "Liu...Liu...Queen Mother Liu..."
The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for all the Yunzhou officials to hear it. A moment ago, everyone was arrogantly trying to make the stone look good, and severely punished him for the crime of disrespect, so that his official authority in Yunzhou could be respected. Liu Ping was all He made up his mind to let Xia Song scold him. Earning official status would be a huge favor for Li Li!
At this moment, they were all petrified on the spot. Their expressions were even more exciting than Hao Tong's. They were all colorful, and their expressions were even more varied. They were all like a dead mother. The look they all looked at Liang Chuan was so pitiful, Grandpa Liang. , why didn’t you tell me earlier!
They thought the stone was someone belonging to Queen Mother Liu and Liu E!
The first time Empress Dowager Liu married Gong Mei, she opened a silver shop in Sichuan and sold some wine. Later, when life became unbearable, she followed Gong Mei to Bianjing. Gong Mei was really incompetent. In the end, she couldn't survive and sold Liu E. The key point was that she didn't blame Gong Mei for selling Liu E. Instead, she always remembered Gong Mei's good qualities. It was at this time that Liu E fell in love with Zhao Heng, who was still a prince, and later became Wu Zetian. In order to thank this "senior", Liu E also let Gong Mei become an official. Zhao Heng was embarrassed, and Gong Mei was now They are still as stable as Mount Tai!
Naturally, Liang Chuan couldn't tell clearly that the stone belonged to Empress Dowager Liu or someone from Gong Mei. If this word reached Empress Dowager Liu's ears, it would be because the old longevity star had hanged himself because he thought he had a long life. He simply made up a lie, making it up in a haphazard way, and left the rest to the officials to figure out, but this kind of thing that is 30% true and 70% false is the most deadly thing. Everyone moved the stone to a higher place to guess, and they were so scared that they all stayed in place!
The scene was quite embarrassing!
I originally wanted to fight Shitou to the end, but the situation changed and no one dared to even open their mouths. Liu Ping just called Shitou a little bastard, but he didn't mean to call Queen Mother Liu an old bastard! He no longer had to wait for the people from Kaden and Yushitai to trouble him. When he got home at night, he wanted to prepare for the funeral, and then find a clean and uninhabited place to hang himself. .
Shitou himself was confused. Liang Chuan always had some tricks that were completely confusing to people. He couldn't understand them at all. However, the people he used always did his tricks and deceived people every time. Gotta go round and round!
Seeing the suffocated look on these people's faces, this group of people had just been fist-fighting and preparing to fight, but now they were all so scared that the eggplants that had been beaten by frost were limp.
Happy Forest's food and wine were served, including delicacies from the mountains and seas. The mutton was made from distiller's grains and the wine was eighteen years old. Liang Chuan greeted the crowd and said, "My acquaintance with Xia Xianggong is due to the relationship between Shitou's family. His father and I have nothing to do with each other." I’d like to have a couple of drinks, I heard your Kongfu wine on Jingdong Road is pretty good!”
These officials are not stupid. They have never seen any monsters and monsters working at the grassroots level in prefectures and counties. They have seen a few charlatans and deceitful gangsters at least ten times a year. It is not that they have never thought that these two people are liars.
However, they had seen Liang Chuan's handwriting, and it was indeed Xia La's own handwriting. They found it from Sima Xun's store. The reason why all the officials mobilized so much was because of this letter.
Since Liang Chuan is real, then this person who doesn't know whether his surname is Liu or Gong must be life-threatening. Is it impossible for Liang Chuan to risk his brain to make such a joke? Which leader would keep such a lunatic around him?
If this young man is really a liar, wouldn't it be better not to pretend to be an official? His face is full of vulgar language and he looks like a small yameni. He is used to it in Bianjing, so it is even more difficult to come to a small place like Jingdong Road. It was impossible to control his temper. It's a pity that they can expose Liang Chuan's lies at a glance by pretending to be an official, and they don't have the guts to cross-examine someone pretending to be Queen Mother Liu.
Although Empress Dowager Liu is the most powerful queen, she is also a civilian empress dowager full of smoky spirit. After this empress dowager flew onto the branch, she was not as ruthless and ruthless as the other royals who had been in high-ranking families from the beginning. Gong Meifeng was appointed commander of the Cavalry Dragon Guard and Infantry Divine Guard.
Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty had not yet risen, and the discrimination and persecution of female homosexuals had not yet begun. The people in the early Song Dynasty were relatively open-minded, and their tolerance for women with surnames was unmatched by the Southern Song Dynasty. Most people in the world not only did not think Liu E What he did was inappropriate, and the people generally believed that this strange woman was affectionate and righteous, and she spoke highly of her!
Liu E's personal affairs were a sensitive topic that was absolutely prohibited in the Song Dynasty. People could just talk about it after dinner. After all, they didn't dare to talk about it openly. If anyone dares to slap Empress Dowager Liu in the old face, this old tiger is not it. Even if it’s dead, it’s still easy to kill someone with just one slap!
Looking at the angry Shitou and the leisurely Liang Chuan, the more calmly he ate the food, the more certain everyone became that Liang Chuan was not trying to trick them. This was really going to kill them! If you are not afraid of offending a gentleman, you are afraid of offending a villain. The villain will cause harm to the legacy for thousands of years!
Hao Tong also knew that the matter was serious, so he kept making looks to everyone, and chased everyone away, leaving only Li Li and Sima Xun. He went up and gave Sima Xun a loud slap in the face: "You have no eyesight." You don’t even recognize the things that noble people are seeing in front of you!”
Sima Xun complained but did not dare to speak out, and was slapped all the time. This slap was so strong that even though Hao Tong was a weak scholar, the five finger prints immediately floated up after the slap was thrown away!
Pointing fingers at mulberry trees and scolding huai trees!
Li Li's face hurt when he looked at him. He felt that Hao Tong was here to save him, but this kid received the slap for him! Although the scolding was unpleasant, he kept looking at Hao Tong, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Why don't you just sit around? Brother Liang will probably have to do some business with Mr. Xia soon after he finishes eating. We happen to have something we want to express to Mr. Xia, so why not let Mr. Liang do it for us!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Li hurriedly retreated, dragging a group of officials from Jingdong Road to prepare gifts again. This time, if they really didn't bleed, they were bleeding profusely!
Liang Chuan said to Hao Tong: "You are quite smart and reliable in doing things, unlike these slanderous people. What the hell do you really think I am after their money? Let me tell you, you are the whole Jingdong Road The annual tax bill is not as much as the money I make in a year!”
As soon as these words came out, Hao Tong was immediately awestruck. If he didn't really have the confidence, Liang Chuan would dare to speak so loudly! No wonder the two of them were so angry, it really wasn't the bit of mosquito meat that Li Li had given them just now!
"Brother Liang, you, the prime minister, are capable of supporting a boat, so you have a broad vision. You don't have to be as knowledgeable as us who are promoted to junior officials!"
"I don't have time to argue with you. Mr. Xia often said that the disobedience in this place is usually caused by the weakness of the officials above, rather than the irritation of the officials below. If there is a problem, replace the chief officer first and replace him with a capable one. Man, he doesn’t care who is causing trouble, I think it’s time for you to straighten things up here!”
It’s a tiger pretending to be a fox again!
"No matter what, the officials on Jingdong Road also have their say. They are all good and honest men. If there are any problems, let us solve them in our own prefecture and county. We must not let Xia Xianggong and the officials worry! "
Liang Chuan said: "You have a keen eye. How about I go and make arrangements for Li Li to return to his hometown to farm, and the position of Yunzhou magistrate can be vacated for you?"
You must know that for Hao Tong, a leader at the prefectural committee level, it is extremely difficult to move up to the next level. Otherwise, they would not work so hard to please the seventh-grade slave in front of the prime minister. Liang Chuan said lightly He said that he was very hot in his heart, but he dared not show it openly and kept refusing: "If Brother Liang is willing to put in a few nice words for me in front of Xia Xiang, I would be happy for you. But Mr. Li is also the one who wants me." Loyal ministers and righteous men who serve the country and the people must not do evil things that harm others and benefit themselves!"
Shitou said: "You still have the appearance of a person. Those five and six people you just met are also worthy. When I drink with the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, I will also give you a few nice words! Go back and tell me just now Those few, I’ll take note of their words for the next time they cry!”
