In a house next to the Liucheng County Government Office, a man was enjoying singing and dancing while enjoying the service of a beautiful maid who was squeezing his legs and beating her shoulders.
This man is none other than Qiao Yingzhe, the only son of Lord Cheng Qiao Shou Yiqiao of Liucheng County.
When he was in high spirits, a young man hurriedly opened the door and said, "Sir, someone from the Ma family is here."
"Is the matter done?" Qiao Yingzhe didn't even raise his head.
"No."
"What's going on?" When Qiao Yingzhe heard this, he sat up straight and then waved away the maids with a wave of his hand.
The confidant boy recounted what happened, and finally said, "Now that he is on his way to the county government office, the Ma family wants you to take action."
Qiao Yingzhe slapped the table and stood up, "Idiot, do you know what death without evidence means? If the Ma family decisively kills people, no matter how they turn things over, they won't be able to mess up the situation. Now they are in trouble. , Let me clean up the mess?!"
The confidant didn't say anything, that's what happened.
After a long time, I heard Qiao Yingzhe ask again, "Are these foreigners meddling in other people's business?"
"Yes, I heard that the other party seems to be a swordsman and penman, and the papers have already been written."
Qiao Yingzhe snorted coldly, "You meddling guy, I have to let him know what it means to be a dragon this time!"
His tone was not too harsh. Although he was just a government official with little ability, and his father was only the second-in-command in Liucheng, he couldn't help but have an uncle who was the captain of Liaoxi County. The key was that his uncle still doted on him.
Originally, half a month ago, the previous county magistrate was transferred away, and his father was very likely to take over as the county magistrate of Liucheng. However, the county magistrate did not know what medicine he took wrongly, so he just hired someone from Changli and appointed him as the county magistrate. The Qiao family's wishful thinking failed.
But the guy named He Ziqi who was transferred was quite sensible and didn't care about anything he shouldn't. If he continues to be so peaceful, it's not like the Qiao family can't tolerate him.
"Let's go find my father!" This matter about the Ma family has to be resolved by his father. When Qiao Yingzhe thinks that the one hundred hectares of land that is likely to produce gold mines will soon belong to him, his heart becomes very hot.
Qiao Shangyi, who was sitting in the county government office, felt depressed when he heard that his son had done such a big thing without consulting him. He was so bold and lawless! But what can he do? His son is his own, and his brother-in-law loves him, so he can only step in to smooth things over.
"Dad, the people from Majia Village are coming soon! But I have already said hello to Mrs. Yang." Mrs. Yang is a widower of the Yamen.
"I'll take care of this, be good and don't cause any more trouble for me!" As he said that, Qiao Shangyi stood up. He was going to say hello to the county magistrate and ask him to claim that he was ill and leave the case to him. Come to trial.
In this way, Qiao Xiancheng still felt that it was not safe, so he asked someone to invite the most famous lawyer in Liucheng.
Yamen front hall
After Xue Xu handed over the paper, he slowly adjusted his sleeves. In fact, his mind was thinking at high speed.
He knew that there was a tough battle to be fought next, and the officials who might examine the case were all biased. But since he dared to take on this matter, he was sure to do it beautifully.
He knew that his previous two sneaking actions had been criticized, and many people did not understand why the Sixth Young Madam wanted to keep him under such conditions. In fact, it doesn't matter what others say about him, but it doesn't matter if it involves the Sixth Young Madam.
County government backyard
"What's so noisy outside?" He Ziqi, who was leaning on the recliner with his eyes closed to give gifts, opened his eyes and asked.
His chief attendant replied, "Your Excellency, this is how it is..."
The chief attendant gave a brief summary of what happened outside.
After hearing this, He Ziqi chuckled. There was something fishy in this case.
"Is Mr. He here?" Qiao Shangyi's voice came from outside the door.
He Ziqi motioned to his attendant to open the door, and after Qiao Shangyi came in, he asked, "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Qiao?"
"It's like this. There's a lawsuit filed by rural people outside, and it's very noisy. Mr. Pianhe has been feeling unwell these days, and I think it must be due to acclimatization. This illness cannot be rushed. It needs to be taken good care of, and it is not suitable to overwork. .”
He Ziqi was amused. It was only more than three hundred miles from Changli to Liucheng. How could he be acclimatized?
He Ziqi knew very well what Qiao Houyi meant, and he just wanted him to avoid the following case.
"so?"
"Sir, have a good rest. I'll let my subordinate take care of the small case outside for you, right?"
He Ziqi didn't want to face him head-on yet, and was just about to agree.
I saw the chief clerk coming over with a piece of paper, "Mr. He, Mr. Qiao, someone just handed me a piece of paper."
Qiao Bangyi made a gesture of invitation, "Master He, please take a look first." No matter how much he wanted to evade the power of the county magistrate, there were still rules on the surface.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the main register. Was he really stupid or did he do it on purpose?
He Ziqi took the paper and browsed it casually. When he saw the content at first glance, he felt happy. Qiao Suyi had encountered a tough problem this time. The language on this piece of paper is concise and sharp, and the description goes straight to the point. From this piece of paper alone, you can tell that this writer is not an ordinary person.
He only scanned the content casually. He habitually looked at the signatures on the lower left. When he saw the first signature, Xue Guangxian, he didn't feel much, but when he saw the second signature, Lu Mingzhi, his eyes froze. .
He Ziqi grabbed the paper. Regardless of whether this person was the one he was waiting for, he couldn't turn a blind eye to this paper. What if he was?
About a month ago, he received a letter from his mentor Zhang Xian, which mentioned Lu Mingzhi, Lu Songli, the Qin family and others. The teacher highlighted Lu Mingzhi in the letter and asked him to take care of them if it was convenient.
He was discovered and trained by Zhang Xian. His mentor was very kind to him. This was also the first time that his mentor spoke to him.
It happened that at that time, a colleague of the Liucheng County Magistrate was tricked, a big mistake was made in his work, and he was escorted back to Chang'an.
He received an order from his superiors to take charge of Liucheng. As a result, he is getting further and further away from Pingzhou. He still felt very sorry and guilty for having failed Master Zhang.
A few days ago, he received another letter from his mentor from Chang'an. This letter was sent to him after his family in Changli received it. In the letter, his mentor talked about his current situation in Beijing, and also mentioned the Lu family's help to him. At the end of the letter, he once again told him that if the Lu family siblings or the Qin family were in trouble, he would definitely lend a helping hand if he could.
Now, Lu Mingzhi and the others are obviously in trouble, and he will naturally not stand idly by.
Moreover, of the three things a new official should do when he takes office, the first one has not yet started. In this case, let’s start the first fire from here. Fire up!
Qiao Shangyi noticed something strange about He Ziqi, and his heart tightened, "Master He——"
Before Qiao Shouyi finished speaking, He Ziqi smiled at him and said, "Let me try the case this time. I have been in Liucheng for a little over half a month. Speaking of which, no one has ever given up because of the acclimatization." So long. Besides, I am the magistrate of Liucheng County, and Liucheng is my responsibility after all. I can't just stay lazy and leave everything to you." As he said that, he stood up and stretched.
One word, four taels of gold, completely blocked Qiao Shangyi's previous words.
The bad premonition came true, and Qiao Shouyi's heart sank, but he had no choice but to adapt to the situation.
On Lu Songli's side, they settled down, and then someone came to report that the county magistrate had been promoted to court.
Lu Songli laughed at that time, her bet was right.
Qin Heng and Qin Zhao were both a little surprised. Didn't the common people say that the new county magistrate had been claiming to be ill recently?
Qin Sheng just looked at her, "Lili, why are you laughing?"
"The matter between Meng Yun and his cousin Qi Zhenniang should be resolved smoothly."
Qin Sheng: "Really? How did you know?" Isn't it in the middle of the ceremony? Does your daughter-in-law know the result?
Lu Songli threw him a notebook.
Qin Sheng was very skilled. He followed the curve of the book with his long arm and caught it. When he opened it, he saw that every page inside was full of names. A list of people? When did your wife get it?
After entering Youzhou, Lu Songli paid attention to local officials wherever he went, and even deliberately asked people to collect information about these people. Lu Songli handed over this task to the reconnaissance team.
In fact, Lu Songli has been collecting information in this area. However, when they were in Yanzhou and Jizhou, they had to deal with various accidents and dangers, as well as purchase medicinal materials. The reconnaissance team was also very busy, so the information collected was scattered.
This roster was compiled by her after judging and screening the initial content. She will slowly collect more officials and add more information later.
Qin Sheng took a closer look and found that under the names of each page, there were also their current official positions and biographical introductions, as well as related personality analysis and so on. On one page, He Ziqi's name was circled.
"Did you see anything?" Lu Songli asked.
Qin Sheng thought for a while and said, "Is this He Ziqi our friendly army?"
Lu Songli gave him a thumbs up, "Smart!"
She thought it was not surprising that Qin Sheng could guess it. Qin Sheng also read the letter her father wrote to her last time.
At the end of the letter, her father warned her that if she was bullied, she would have to endure it when no one would support her. She could write down the names of those who bullied her in a notebook.
When he comes, we will settle accounts with those people together!
If she really can't wait any longer, she can let Qin Sheng handle it quietly for her.
If they couldn't be dealt with, they dragged the person to Changli and told her that Zhang Shishu had written a letter and took care of things there, and that she also had someone behind her back there.
After reading the letter, by coincidence, I found out that Liucheng County Magistrate He Ziqi was transferred from Changli and had been claiming to be ill since he took office.
Lu Songli had speculations about this at that time, so she asked her younger brother Lu Mingzhi to help Xue Xu and give it a try.
"Li Li, do you think I can make a roster like this for the existing generals?" Qin Sheng asked.
"Of course." He is really smart and good at learning.
"Did I say before that as long as he is a human being, he will have problems, and if he has problems, we can solve him. By collecting his information and then constantly analyzing him, we will definitely be able to find his problems. "
Looking at this booklet and listening to what she said, the previously vague thoughts, decisions made based on intuition, and the sluggish feeling of knowing something but not knowing why were all now clear and accessible.
"Lili, can you teach me how to write words for missing arms like yours?"
In this booklet, she used simplified Chinese characters, and Qin Sheng seemed to have made a blind guess.
In Qin Sheng's opinion, these words were like missing arms and legs, but he felt that it was very good to record such information. If it was lost, all the fruits of labor would not be lost to others.
And Qin Sheng discovered that the arms and legs in these words didn't seem to be missing randomly?
Lu Songli: ...What kind of bad adjective is this? If simplified Chinese characters can speak, this one will definitely cry.
"Pear?"
"Okay, I'll teach you." Lu Songli gritted his teeth secretly.
From then on, Qin Sheng began to collect information about military commanders. Later, whenever the two armies fought, Qin Sheng's tailor-made combat plans for the opponent's generals often produced very good results. Among them, the customized strategy of luring the enemy is the most outstanding, and he rarely fails.
