As a man of integrity, Shitou knows everything and talks about everything.
Almost everything Lu Bai asked, he answered.
Just because when Lu Bai caught him, Shitou knew that he couldn't escape. Only by speaking nicely could he have a good ending.
But Shi Tou is not stupid either. There are many disadvantages to him, and Lu Bai doesn't know about them, so he doesn't say anything or blames them on others.
Therefore, when Lu Bai and Fang Qianhu returned to Nanzhen Fusi with the stone in hand, they got very little information from other places. They almost only confirmed that the person who sold the official position was the Shi family, and the Shi family sometimes used some extraordinary means to take advantage of the situation.
Get rid of those who are an eyesore and block their way to make money.
As for who was being punished, Shitou didn't know whether the Jin Yiwei and the Customs Supervision Bureau that Lu Bai wanted to investigate were punished, and he didn't know whether they were beaten to death.
Of course, in view of Shitou's confession, Lu Bai did not choose to torture him, but just sent him to Zhao Prison.
The witness of Shitou is enough for Lu Bai to investigate the case.
"Sir, are you ready to continue investigating this case?" Fang Qianhu pulled Lu Bai aside and whispered, "The head of the Shi family, Mr. Shi, is a bachelor of the Cabinet Culture Hall and the teacher of King Luo. He has a powerful background.
Now, we can't offend him for such a small case, right?"
Lu Bai smiled.
He patted Fang Qianhu on the shoulder and said, "You may have forgotten something, or you may not know it. When I was in Ankang City, I killed Mr. Shi Qi of Lord Shi's family."
Fang Qianhu trembled.
He just remembered that Lu Bai, nicknamed the Butcher, not only killed his son, but also Master Shi's son.
This Young Master Shi Qi is different from his drunken son. This Young Master Shi Qi is one of the four young masters along with Mo Wenchi from the Mo family. He is extremely talented in cultivation. I heard that as long as the Shi family becomes the secular stone master of Jianzhai,
At home, Master Shi Qi is about to be accepted as a closed disciple by the master.
This promising future was ruined by Lu Bai. Now the Shi family doesn't know why they hate Lu Bai.
As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won't be itchy, if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry. Lu Bai has already made the Shi family hate him to the bone, and adding another one doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Then, Fang Qianhu thought of a question.
Lu Bai just offended Liyuan yesterday and was making people in Jianzhai feel uncomfortable. His hatred with Yiqiu Villa is well known to everyone——
hiss!
Fang Qianhu took a breath of air and consciously took a step away from Lu Bai.
He suddenly felt that regardless of the position of governor, if he got closer to Lu Bai, he might die without knowing how.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Bai looked at him strangely.
Fang Qianhu waved his hand, "No, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that a servant told me in the morning that a concubine had cuckolded me. I just remembered now. I have to go and see. What is that? Mr. Lu, you
If you’re busy first, I’ll leave first. I’ll leave first.”
Fang Qianhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.
Lu Bai was dumbfounded from behind, "I'll go, Lao Fang, you are too arrogant, can you forget this?"
He shook his head in disbelief, and then returned to Nanzhen Fusi Yamen.
As soon as he sat on the chair, Zhuang Jinyiwei walked in and said, "Sir, all the people you asked me to transfer are here."
After that, Zhuang Jinyiwei waved to the back, and then five or six people wearing Jinyiwei clothes walked in. Although they were wearing Jinyiwei clothes, they were thin and had gray hair. Lu Bai almost thought that Lao Zhuang was going to something.
The local government caught a few people pretending to be Jin Yiwei.
"Sir, these are the scribes you are looking for. I just transferred them from Beizhen Fusi." Zhuang Jinyiwei said with a smile.
He is very proud now.
After being a Jinyiwei for so many years, he, Lao Zhuang, has never been so proud.
In Beizhen Fusi, those Beizhen Fusi Jinyiwei who usually looked down on him now greeted him attentively, and some even invited Laozhuang to have a drink.
Even his old boss, the Jinyiwei Baihu who had been bullying him, smiled and lowered his body to get close to him.
Zhuang Jinyiwei knew that this guy was about to retreat.
He has a son. If things go according to the past, this son will take over his duties at least half a year or as long as a year. He will continue to be a royal guard and may soon be able to ascend to the position of a hundred households.
But now everything has been broken by Lu Bai's reforms.
If his son wants to inherit his position as Jinyiwei, he must attend Mingzhengsi for three years, and Mingzhengsi must issue corresponding certificates - not limited to realm testimonials, but also graduation certificates, job certificates, etc. These are Zhuang Jinyiwei's
From what Lu Bai said, Mr. Lu said that these three certificates will be necessary for Jin Yiwei to take office in the future.
If you fail to pass these three certificates, you will have to continue studying at Mingzhengsi until you pass the exams.
The old boss Baihu wanted Zhuang Jinyiwei to use a back door, but Zhuang Jinyiwei refused.
Does he know Lu Bai's determination to reform? He can't demolish Lu Bai. After all, his old village has just become famous. He can't be looked down upon by Lu Bai because of this, and then not be reused, and then go back to the old days of being useless.
.
At the same time, thanks to the fact that I was a coward in the past, Zhuang Jinyiwei knows the faces of these people very well. They use people to go forward and don’t use people to deal with the back. This is because this old boss was the one who always bullied Zhuang Jinyiwei and asked him to do dirty and tiring work.
They suppressed him and bullied him everywhere, making him unbearable and applied to Nanzhen Fusi.
Now that things have turned around, Zhuang Jinyiwei certainly has to reject him properly so that he can vent his bad temper.
As for these scribes, they were easily transferred.
Neither the governor nor the commander of Beizhen was too embarrassed, but they were confused about what Lu Baidi was doing in the past.
Although these people were Jinyiwei, they were unable to practice martial arts or spiritual cultivation due to health or other reasons, so they became sword and pen officials in Jinyiwei after inheriting their father's position.
If there are people who are lower than Nanzhen Fusi Jinyiwei, it is them.
Without connections and backing, you can only get a fixed monthly salary, and you can't shake off the prestige of Jin Yiwei even though you are wearing the skin of Jin Yiwei.
The commander really couldn't guess what Lu Bai wanted these useless people to do.
Not only the envoys and commanders of Beizhen were curious, but Zhuang Jinyi's guards were also curious.
According to what Lu Bai said, their Nanzhen Fusi has many areas to reform, and there are many places to employ people, but these scribes——
I probably can't help at all.
Not only they think this way, but also several swordsmen and pen officials think so.
They stood in a row in front of Lu Bai and looked at Lu Bai curiously.
Contrary to their expectations, this Lu Bai had two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, and one mouth. He looked nothing strange. He was just a mortal, nothing like the peerless genius they imagined.
"Is this the monster that is now spread through word of mouth?" the swordsmen and penmen thought.
Lu Bai glanced at the writers and writers in front of him and asked, "How is your literary talent?"
Several swordsmen and penmen looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhuang Jinyiwei took a step forward and said: "Sir, don't worry, these people I selected are definitely the best in terms of writing skills. Not only their writing skills, I also specially selected a few who are top-notch."
Zhuang Jinyiwei introduced them one by one to Lu Bai. Among these clerks, there were some who were good at keeping accounts, some who were proficient in engineering, and some who knew a lot about romantic affairs.
"Well--"
Lu Bai's Xinzhuang Jinyi Guards had carefully selected these people. They had hired all the damn scribes who were good at gossip.
Lu Bai glanced at him and thought that Lao Zhuang would like to hear about this, so he took the opportunity to stuff someone in. Damn it, he liked it too.
but--
Lu Bai looked at the scribe who knew a lot about romantic affairs and asked: "Do you know why your hair is not gray, but they still have black hair?"
The romantic scribe shook his head, "No, I don't know."
"Because you are so coquettish that you have drained yourself of your body." Lu Bai said and laughed.
Several scribes and Zhuang Jinyiwei were stunned for a moment, and then Zhuang Jinyiwei started laughing and winked at the scribes to make them laugh too.
Lu Bai waved his hand, realizing that his cold joke was a complete failure.
On the other hand, this Zhuang Jinyiwei is an unexpected talent. He has changed from his lifeless demeanor in the past, and now he has become lively and knows how to flatter adults.
have a future.
"Old Zhuang, you did this very honestly." Lu Bai gave Zhuang Jinyiwei a thumbs up.
The scribes he needs are not only good at writing, but also good at gossiping, both about brothels and other places.
He said to several scribes: "I have transferred you here. You will still have to do the work of scribes, but you are not ordinary scribes, but the mouthpiece of our Nanzhen Fusi."
Several scribes were dumbfounded, not knowing what Lu Bai meant by this.
Lu Bai glanced at them, "Brothers - ahem, gentlemen, this task is very important and arduous. As the mouthpiece, you almost represent our Nanzhen Fusi Yamen, represent me, the Nanzhen Fushi, and even the emperor.
You are talking, so you must be mentally prepared."
The scribes didn't know how to react for a while.
They were originally not taken seriously in Beizhen Fusi, but now they have to be mouthpieces and become very important. Does this mean that——
Are they finally no longer the lowest status person?
Thinking of this, their minds became excited, and they even expected Lu Bai to tell them what they wanted to do.
"You are responsible for running the newspaper." Lu Bai said.
He asked these people to disperse to every corner of the capital to find out what Jin Yiwei was doing, as well as the people's opinions and evaluations of Jin Yiwei's work.
As an agency that supervises the Jin Yiwei, Lu Bai needs to establish public opinion, so that he can put another shackles on the Jin Yiwei, so that the Jin Yiwei will not become like it is now, a wild horse that can run free, and can blackmail the people and officials at will.
Let all the officials talk about it and change their expressions.
In fact, Lu Bai had another plan here, that is, there was an emperor behind the Jin Yiwei.
As the emperor's personal soldier, Jin Yiwei often helps the emperor do some shameful things. What Lu Bai has to do is to use newspapers and public opinion to make the black hand of Jin Yiwei exposed to the world, and then, in a subtle way, the imperial power will also...
Of course, it's too early to talk about this, but it's always good to plan ahead.
After all, Lu Bai knew that sooner or later he would have to fall out with the emperor. After all, he was thinking about the Supreme Emperor and waiting for the day when the Supreme Emperor would personally admit his crimes of stigmatizing Shuobei City and tacitly allowing Lu Yixing to pursue Gu Qinghuan.
Although Lu Bai had these calculations in his heart, he didn't say much out loud, which made several scribes feel dizzy.
Lu Bai could only explain patiently, "It is almost equivalent to the Di newspaper, but this Di newspaper is not for the officials, but for the Jin Yiwei. Our newspaper is also for the Jin Yiwei to see, so that they can examine themselves three times a day and know what they know.
What should be done, what should not be done, and what their companions should not do, thus saving us a lot of effort, and achieving the goal of our South Town Fusi Yamen to supervise North Town Fusi."
Several scribes were still dizzy, so Lu Bai could only let them digest it first, and then fumble around to publish an issue.
Several scribes nodded and retreated.
As for Lu Bai, he went to sleep.
There is no rush to pursue the case of the Customs and Supervision Bureau.
Lu Bai is not two hundred and fifty. Even if Lu Bai is two hundred and fifty, Gu Qinghuan behind him is not a vegetarian.
Within a few days of entering the capital, Gu Qinghuan had already found out Lu Bai's enemies.
Needless to say, there is no need to inquire about Fang Qianhu. The key point is the Shi family. Gu Qinghuan inquired at his wife's banquet that the Shi family's fortune originated from an elder from Jianzhai. This elder had a close relationship with the previous generation of the Shi family.
Therefore, after the Lu family and Jian Zhai parted ways, they urged the Shi family to become the secular sect of Jian Zhai.
Originally, Lu Bai felt that after his arrival, the Shi family should at least take revenge, not to mention a thunderous attack, but he didn't know why there had been no movement until now.
Even Lu Bai didn't see the head of the Shi family, the cabinet scholar, the last time he was in Yuxi Palace.
Gu Qinghuan guessed that becoming a secular sect was unstable, and the Shi family was seizing the opportunity to consolidate it, so they ignored Lu Bai.
After all, after becoming a secular sect of Jianzhai, it is not too late to slowly deal with Lu Bai.
If the Shen family takes the lead and becomes the secular sect of Jianzhai, then no matter how hard the Shi family tries, they will have no chance to take revenge on Lu Bai.
In front of Lu Bai's world, except for the eight major sects and the royal family, everything is just a cloud.
As soon as Lu Bai lay down in the office, a guard in Jinyi came in to report that the emperor had summoned him and the father-in-law in the palace had come to invite him.
Lu Bai lazily started to do it after Jin Yiwei said something again.
The soft floor in his office was given to him by Fang Qianhu. It was covered with soft cushions and was very comfortable to lie on. Lu Bai would occasionally lie on it and take a nap.
How about Fang Qianhu's thoughtfulness?
Lu Bai sometimes regretted killing Fang Qianhu's son, who should have been escorted to the capital for trial.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world. It's also strange that Fang Qianhu's son is such a jerk.
Lu Bai went out and Eunuch Bai was already waiting for him.
Lu Bai sat on the carriage neatly and took the wine glass handed over by Eunuch Bai, "Old Bai, what does the emperor want to do today?"
Eunuch Bai smiled and said, "It's a good thing. Your Majesty will entrust you with an important task today."
Lu Bai was stunned, and didn't think this was a good thing. He had just opened up his business at Nanzhen Fusi Yamen, and now was not the time to walk away or cause trouble.
Lu Bai is not two hundred and fifty. Even if Lu Bai is two hundred and fifty, Gu Qinghuan behind him is not a vegetarian.
Within a few days of entering the capital, Gu Qinghuan had already found out Lu Bai's enemies.
Needless to say, there is no need to inquire about Fang Qianhu. The key point is the Shi family. Gu Qinghuan inquired at his wife's banquet that the Shi family's fortune originated from an elder from Jianzhai. This elder had a close relationship with the previous generation of the Shi family.
Therefore, after the Lu family and Jian Zhai parted ways, they urged the Shi family to become the secular sect of Jian Zhai.
