Li Po did not explain the details to Cheng Zhi. He only said that the house had been sold to Wang Juncao's family, and whether it was burned or not had nothing to do with him.
Cheng Zhijie then turned from anger to joy and praised the house a few times, saying that the house was sold well, otherwise he would have lost his capital.
Li Po also appreciates that no matter what his personal likes and dislikes are, you can actually make friends with people who can think about you. Let’s talk about big things separately. That’s when you can see your real skills, but on small things, you can communicate with each other from time to time.
They agreed to have a drink and have fun another day, and Cheng Zhijie left happily.
Some time later, Cheng Dabeard came over again and took Li Po to drink. This time, Lao Cheng paid for it himself because he was paid.
This is a person who, as long as he has money in his pocket, is not finished until he squanders it all. He values righteousness over money, and it is not obvious yet, but Tie Tie takes full advantage of valuing money over money.
While drinking, Cheng Zhijie happily told Li Po that Li Zongfang, a meritorious military officer, had lost his official position. It is estimated that soon there will be no such number one person in Mayi.
As for his uncle who set the fire, he has been sent to Yanmen.
The people who followed Li Zongfang were also unlucky. The crime of private recording was not a light one. Li Zongfang was born in a wealthy family in Guanxi and was the nephew of the county prince. He was dismissed from office after being dismissed.
It won't be that easy anymore.
Now more than a dozen people are being held in the county jail, waiting for the county magistrate to return and deal with them.
When Li Po heard this, he felt very happy. He was unjustly punished by the whip at the gate of the city. Now these bastards have received their retribution.
It's different when you make some friends, you can hear a lot of miscellaneous things...
The old man must know more, but he can be said to be half the owner of the county. He was once the bodyguard Xiaoguo of Shangzhu State General Han Qinhu. Later, he accompanied Li Jing and performed the responsibility of guard.
He was both brother and servant to Li Jingyi, and later married Li Jing's sister-in-law, the Chen family. However, Li Jing's children all called him uncle, which shows his respect.
Even if he is the master, he will not make irresponsible remarks on the affairs of the county government.
But Cheng Zhijie was different. He was half drunk and started talking in bits and pieces.
For example, there are many people from outside the county in the county, mostly from Hebei and Shandong, but they are not popular. The people in power are still locals from Guanxi and Shanxi.
Li Yuangong of the foreign government lost a yellow dog, causing everyone to panic. People from Hebei said that people from Shandong stole the dog and slaughtered it. People from Shandong said that the dog meat had already entered the stomachs of people in Hebei.
After a lot of chatter, people from Jin also joined in, and they were shouting fiercely. In fact, no one had any intention of taking action or giving Yuan Li a chance to have an attack. No one was afraid of anyone, and there was no point in trying to strangle him to death.
In the end, while there was still shouting, Dr. Li and another Mr. Zhang got into a fight, and the others became spectators.
He also said that the county prince was not fond of wine and women, but he liked to read military books. If anyone could get one or two military books and tactics that the prince had not read and presented them to him, he would definitely be rewarded heavily.
Unfortunately, there are many people who are illiterate among the big guys. Even if there is a military manual in front of them, they will not be able to recognize it. This way is obviously not feasible.
So a few guys thought they were smart and went to get a few copies and showed them to the literate people. They found that the military books were indeed genuine, but they were the most widely handed down ones. They spent a lot of money in vain, so they might as well invite everyone.
Drinking wine and eating meat.
He also talked about various people and anecdotes about Mayi, which made Li Po also listen with great interest.
Among them was Liu Wuzhou, a military officer.
According to Cheng Zhijie, even though that kid looks smiling all day long, he is actually very sinister. He is responsible for all the secret deeds in Mayi City.
Moreover, the people we have made friends with are heroes, but it is better to say that they are desperate. If it is not ordered by the county magistrate, no swords and guns are allowed in the county. Once a murder case occurs, a thorough investigation will be carried out. Otherwise, Liu Wuzhou will be in trouble.
How many lives have been lost?
Li Po understood immediately upon hearing this. This was obviously a gangster leader who had infiltrated the government.
Later, when he learned about Liu Wuzhou's origins, Li Poda also admired Cheng Zhijie's vision.
Well, Liu Wuzhou was also from Shandong. He had a falling out with his brother in his hometown and was kicked out by his brother, who said that he was friends with bandits and would bring disaster to his family members sooner or later. So Liu Wuzhou brought his sister to Mayi.
Of course, Cheng Zhijie also said that many of these people in the city are not popular, and the military camp outside the city is the real place where dragons and tigers are hidden.
This statement is biased, but it also shows that the importance of military merit in the Sui Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Those who are aspiring to meritorious service admire the glory in the army, and Cheng Zhijie is no exception.
After a meal of wine, Li Po gained a lot of knowledge.
When I went back to the stable, I was nagged by the old man again. Now the old man was no longer angry with him, but his appetite was also spoiled by Li Po. If he didn't eat the food cooked by Li Po, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
So I kept nagging, complaining that Li Po started not doing his job properly. What he meant was that it was too embarrassing for him to go to the Wild Fox Zen and hang out with other idle people instead of worshiping the true God.
's face.
After the old man finished nagging, Yuen Long quietly came over again and told Li Po that he must take him with him next time he went drinking, otherwise, he would tell his grandpa...
At night, lying in bed, I had to listen to Li Chun's complaints again, complaining that he didn't take her with him when he went out every time.
Li Po was also speechless. Didn't we just go out and have some drinks? As for everyone, it seems that they can't live without him?
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little proud in my heart. The feeling of being needed is still good after all.
The next day, Sanniangzi appeared at the stable again.
This time it was business, she was going to lead people to inspect the racecourse and needed the groom to follow her.
The Jia Cao is under the jurisdiction of the Bing Cao, but the fact that the Bing Cao joins the army and personally inspects the local horse farms can only mean that the war is getting closer.
The old man is not young anymore, so Li Bi naturally doesn't want to let the old man suffer. She just wants Yuen Long to follow him.
This is a good thing. Not to mention other things, joining the army with Bingcao does not take much time to go back and forth. For Yuen Long, it is both a kind of qualification and a kind of training.
The old man also knew what Li Bi's idea was. To become a soldier and join the army was to follow the old path that the people from Guanxi are familiar with. When you go out, you become a general, when you enter, you become an official. The most important thing is to become a general or become a prime minister.
At this time, you also need some confidants to support you.
The old man thought about it for a while, and although he was a little reluctant to part with it, he still felt that his son had indeed reached the age of serving as an official, and he could not always keep him under his knees. It was no different from locking a young eagle in a bamboo cage...
