Qin Huaidao took a carriage and quietly left from the back gate of the county government office and came to the open space opposite the monument.
Many craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry were measuring the land and recording something. Luo Zhang and others communicated with everyone. When he saw Qin Huaidao coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Uncle, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Come and take a look, how about it?" Qin Huaidao looked at the busy people in front and asked.
Luo Zhang explained understandingly: "The progress is quite smooth. Today we will measure the area and dig the foundation to build the ancestral hall tomorrow. Someone is already carving the inscriptions. The biggest difficulty at the moment is the shape of the traitor. The Ministry of Industry organized people to paint the portraits, but the painter
We don’t know much about the treacherous minister, so we need to inquire from many sources and slowly draw a picture.”
"Don't rush for a day or two. Make sure you draw like him, don't draw him like someone else. The content of the carved inscription must be detailed and record the bad deeds of every traitor. Where is the list of traitors?"
"The people from the Ministry of Industry said they would submit the list we provided. Your Majesty had no objection."
"That's good, just keep an eye on it." Qin Huaidao said and looked around.
Luo Zhang agreed, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that uncle is rectifying the gang? Someone came to test me just now. Judging from the meaning, he probably wanted to bribe. I hope that uncle will show his favor and I will pretend to be stupid.
, I’ll fool you, but I guess someone will still come looking for me.”
"No, it's coming." Qin Huaidao looked in one direction and saw a carriage slowly approaching.
"The emperor drives six, the kings and princes drive five, and the five-horse chariot should be the King of Jin. Why is he here? Isn't he just asking for mercy?" Luo Zhang said in a low voice.
"The possibility is very high. Let's take a look first and don't talk nonsense." Qin Huaidao said in a low voice.
Not long after, King Jin's carriage came forward and stopped. Li Zhi jumped off the carriage, signaled the guards not to follow, and stepped forward alone.
Qin Huaidao is also a king now. Although he is not as good as the king of Jin, his status is not much different. There is no need to take the initiative to salute. King Jin was too preoccupied and did not care about etiquette. He stepped forward and said: "Brother-in-law, maybe we can talk alone?"
Addressing one another as brother-in-law is naturally a private matter.
Seeing that Qin Huaidao had no objection, Luo Zhang left wisely.
When Luo Zhang walked further away, Jin Wang Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother-in-law, please forgive me for coming here uninvited. I am really helpless. I want to ask my brother-in-law for a favor. No comment?"
"Let's talk and listen first." Qin Huaidao did not agree on the spot.
Li Zhi didn't mince words, and said bluntly: "My brother-in-law was laughed at, and the martial arts man suddenly came to the door. He wanted to ask my brother-in-law to help me by placing bamboo poles, and he was willing to give half of the proceeds as a filial piety."
"What is the Bamboo Gang Gang?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised. As for Li Zhi and the Wu Cai people getting together, it is not surprising that the Wu Cai people asked Li Zhi to come forward.
"It's a group of people who make a living on the Bahe River. They use bamboo poles to ride rafts and help people transport goods to make a living. That's why they got this name. Life is hard, not easy, you see?"
Qin Huaidao stared at Li Zhi, not concealing the teasing and ridicule in his heart. The dignified prince actually got together with his father's concubine. Forget it. Why do you say that the Zhugan Gang is a group of bitter people? Have you investigated it?
Is it okay to come to your door for care?
Are you afraid that you were fooled into stupidity?
Li Zhi felt a little guilty when he saw Qin Huaidao, and couldn't help asking: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"
"It's okay to be filial to the money. If I need the money, I will earn it myself. There is no need for others to show filial piety. As long as the Zhugan Gang does not oppress the people and violate the law, it will naturally not be difficult. But if it violates the law and oppresses the good, as the King of Jin, you will not be in trouble."
Your reputation must not be damaged," Qin Huaidao reminded.
King Jin's face froze and he stopped talking.
Qin Huaidao could tell by looking at his expression that this Bamboo Gang Gang was probably not simple. He was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hands and said: "For Yuzhang's sake, I'll give you a piece of advice. If there is a problem, deal with it as soon as possible. Don't get yourself into trouble. Otherwise, you, the King of Jin, will probably
The position is hard to secure.”
"That's not it. My brother-in-law misunderstood. The Bamboo Gang Gang has nothing to do with me..."
Qin Huaidao interrupted: "But if you come forward to plead for mercy, you will be involved. Can you guarantee that the Bamboo Gang Gang will be fine?"
"this……"
"Go back. Wu Cairen is your father's wife, but she comes to you to plead for mercy. Do you understand the conspiracy behind this?"
"What do you mean?" Li Zhi suddenly became alert.
Seeing that his expression was blank and shocked, Qin Huaidao didn't look like he knew anything about it. Since the Wu Cai people were plotting against him, of course he couldn't just sit back and wait for death, so he reminded him: "It means that since you are here, this matter has something to do with you. Refusal is tantamount to a slap in the face."
, the hatred between the two of us will deepen, and you and Wu Cai will get closer; if you had not come, the news that Wu Cai was looking for you would have leaked out, and your father would be furious, and Wu Cai would be killed.
If you are thrown into the cold palace, you will be angry and feel that you are just kind-hearted and have no fault. You feel guilty for the Wucai people. What the Wucai people want is your guilt, which will be of great use in the future, so why don't you come to see Wucai people?
Everyone is plotting against you."
"Isn't it possible? Wu Cai looks gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable. He is also the one who sleeps with his father. It's hard to refuse him when he comes to ask for help. How could he have such a plan?"
"If you need to intercede, just go to your father. Why are you looking for me?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Maybe I think the matter is not serious and don't want to alarm my father."
Qin Huaida finally understood that this guy was just a licker, he could figure out all kinds of unreasonable things on his own, and there was no way he could be saved. He immediately said: "Since you want to jump into the fire pit, then just jump, don't bother me, bamboo pole
The gang's matter will be dealt with according to the law, no one can ask for mercy."
"You..." Li Zhi suddenly felt embarrassed.
Qin Huaidao sneered and said: "Look, do you feel that you are losing face and have a grudge against me?"
Li Zhi thought of what Qin Huaidao had just reminded him, and his face suddenly froze - could there really be a conspiracy? It shouldn't be, that weak woman knows the depth, the general, and the advance and retreat. How could she possibly have a plan? It's just not easy to watch the bamboo pole helper hahaha
, just interceding with good intentions.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi continued: "If you don't want to help, forget it. Just pretend I haven't been here."
"You said you haven't been here before?"
Qin Huaidao sneered and said: "Your father has arranged for the internal guards to keep an eye on me and control every move. I'm afraid the news has spread to the palace by now. Wait for your father to ask questions. Tsk tsk, my son is obsessed with his father.
My concubine, if word spreads about it, how many people will laugh to death?"
Wu Cairen dared to use Li Zhi to plot against him, but Qin Huaidao didn't mind using Li Er to plot against him.
"You?" Li Zhi panicked, his face changed drastically when he thought of some consequences, and he hurried away.
"If you want to live, take the initiative to find your father and sever ties with the woman." Qin Huaidao shouted, that woman dares to scheme against him, so of course he can't let it be tolerated?
"What happened?" Luo Zhang came over and asked in a low voice.
"I can handle some small things, I'll leave it to you." Qin Huaidao said and got on the carriage.
The carriage slowly left. Luo Wu led people to guard the surroundings and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, where are you going?"
"The Duke of Liang's Mansion!"
"clear."
Luo Wu agreed and signaled the carriage to speed up.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of Liang Guogong's house. Luo Wu went up to announce his door. When the doorman heard that it was Qin Huaidao, he hurried in to report. Soon the side door opened wide and the butler trotted out and bowed to the carriage: "Little Liang Guogong
The steward of the palace is paying homage to the King of Han, and my master is waiting in the study."
"lead the way."
The carriage continued forward, entered directly from the side door, and stopped through a garden. Qin Huaidao motioned for everyone to stay, followed the housekeeper and walked forward for a distance, and came to the door of an attic. The door opened, and Fang Yiai came out: "
Brother Qin is here, please come inside." He waved his hand to signal the butler to leave.
After entering the house, he saw Fang Xuanling sitting by the charcoal fire reading a book. Qin Huaida said with the courtesy of a junior: "I have met Uncle Fang."
"Here you go, sit down." When Fang Xuanling saw Qin Huaidao using the courtesy of a junior, he didn't get up. He accepted it calmly and made a gesture of invitation, feeling very happy in his heart.
Don't forget old feelings because of changes in status, you can get along!
Qin Huaidao was not polite. After sitting down, he said, "Uncle Fang, I came here this time to ask Fang Yiai to take action."
But Fang Yiai couldn't wait to say: "Old man, you are the only one who talks a lot, so don't worry about anything. Since Brother Qin has spoken, I'm going to do it."
"Shut up, you bastard." Fang Xuanling scolded him angrily.
