Today is definitely not an ordinary day, but the wind on the ground has stopped, and the clouds in the sky are rolling and relaxing.
Since Li Shitong woke up early this morning, his eyelids have been twitching for no reason. After jumping to the left, he jumped to the right, and after jumping to the right, he switched to the left. If he hadn't spoken normally, the government officials would have thought that the adult had a stroke last night.
He also felt puzzled - it is said that the left eyelid jumps to make money, and the right eyelid jumps to disaster, but what is this happening in turn? Could it be that what the female physiognomist said yesterday was really accurate? I can really get promoted and make a fortune.
, but there are villains around to cause trouble?
Although I feel very uneasy, I still have to work. Perhaps out of reverence for the gods, County Magistrate Li was careful and solemn in reviewing and approving official documents and doing routine inspections today, for fear that he would miss some details and lose his chance of promotion.
.
In this way, I stayed up from 10:00 in the morning to 1:00 in the afternoon, and finally it was time to withdraw from the court. The county magistrate was still puzzled - I had spent this day on tenterhooks, but I didn't even come across a serious case.
It's all trivial things. If this continues every day, I'll probably go crazy before I even get promoted.
"My Lord County Magistrate, there is someone waiting for you at the Yamen Gate. He wants to see you." A Yamen servant trotted up to the County Magistrate and said loudly.
To be honest, although County Magistrate Li may not have outstanding abilities and a timid personality, he has a very good attitude. When he goes back to the court, his subordinates leave first, and he is the last one. There are not many people left in the yamen at this time.
.
"Then let him come in." Li Shitong waved his hand, thinking that maybe this person is his nobleman?
He is a noble person and also a disaster star. As for the choice, it all depends on Li Shitong himself.
This noble man was dressed in black, with a wide robe and long sleeves, long hair shawl, and a burning gaze. As soon as he stepped into the courtroom, he shouted: "Can I give you a drink of water?"
We really can't blame He Nan for not knowing etiquette - he has too much fire in his body, bones and liver, and his Qi is inflamed and his blood is hot. Every time the seasons change in autumn and winter, his lips will be chapped and his mouth will be dry.
To persuade Li Shitong with your tongue, you must not ask for saliva.
County Magistrate Li waited for He Nan to finish drinking the water, then slowly asked: "Why did the young master come to Mr. Li?" He actually gave He Nan some face.
"My surname is He. I am Zhang Xueshi from Xuanyang County, nephew and only nephew of He Ni and his wife." He spoke with a strong accent, especially the words "only nephew."
A disciple of Mr. Li Zhanchun, the imperial censor of the imperial capital."
Li Shitong's casual attitude just now changed drastically in an instant. He looked down at the pine-like He Nan at the foot of the stairs, his pupils shrank, and many memories emerged in his mind.
The boy of the He family? Li Shitong has some impressions of this. He vaguely remembers that one day more than half a year ago, Zhang Xuesh sent out wedding invitations and invited many big shots in Xuanyang County to the Zhang Mansion for a banquet. Although he received the invitations, but because of his
My brother-in-law He Lei was dismissed from his official position, so he did not attend the appointment. He just prepared a hasty gift and sent it to someone. Later, I heard that it was his son who had obtained a small official position in the capital.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I think about it - I did hear that that kid entered Shanhe Mansion, and what I didn't expect was that he was actually Li Yushi's disciple?
Strictly speaking, according to the rank of Shanhe Prefecture, Fu Cheng is really not an official, especially in a place like the capital where a broken beam can kill a row of fifth- and sixth-grade officials.
But the person with Shanhe Mansion and Li Zhanchun as his back is completely different - is this kid over twenty years old this year?
Li Shitong looked at He Nan with a very complicated expression of admiration and fear. What he admired was that he had already leaned on the Jinshan Mountain at a young age, and he was still at home reading books about sages while hanging from the beams. What he was afraid of was that Li Shitong finally came to the throne.
Afterwards, he thought about why He Nan appeared here. After all, it was no secret in Xuanyang County that Song Wuyan used various methods to embezzle the property in Zhang Xuesh's name.
He didn't know that He Nan was not leaning on some golden mountain, it was more like standing on the spatula of a frying pan; nor did he know the full extent of He Nan's purpose today.
As the saying goes, if a leaf blocks your eyesight, you cannot see Mount Tai.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, it should be clear now why He came here today, right?" Although He Nan was standing at the foot of the steps, his momentum was overwhelming the opponent.
Li Shitong, who has lived for fifty years, was suppressed by a young man here. It has to be said that sometimes age has no effect. Identity, status, and wealth determine whether a person can survive in most cases.
The first factor of straight waist.
Although He Nan doesn't like to measure people's status by power and money, this does not prevent him from using this name to make full use of it at this time.
Li Shitong squinted his eyes, thought about it in his mind, then stood up straight, stretched his right hand to the screen behind him, and made a "please" gesture to He Nan: "Master He, please."
He Nan naturally responded in kind. He approached Magistrate Li and replied exactly as he did: "Please, Magistrate Li."
The two of them pretended to be polite for a while, and Li Shitong went straight to the topic as soon as He Nanfu sat down: "Presumably Mr. He came here because of the conflict between Zhang Yuanwai and Song Yuanwai, right?"
Look at the level of his words. It was Song Wuyan who made it clear that he would not give Zhang Xueshi a way to survive, relying on the support of Di Shiyuan, but he was resolved into a "contradiction" by Li Shitong's light words.
He Nan sneered: "Don't take the contradiction seriously. A businessman from a county town in Wuyan, Song Dynasty, is just riding on Di Shiyuan's line. I, He, can still bear it."
After the sarcasm, He Nanhu changed the topic again and came to Li Shitong's head: "Or is it that Song Wuyan has extraordinary abilities in Xuanyang County and can cover the sky with one hand?"
This is undoubtedly a hint that Song Wuyan can be so arrogant and domineering. Is there any instruction from your county magistrate behind it?
Li Shitong... indeed did not have any ulterior motives with Song Wuyan, but it cannot be said that he had nothing to do with this matter. Song Wuyan deliberately tested this person before he started to engage in small tricks with Di Shiyuan.
The county magistrate even reluctantly gave Li Shitong a box of gold and silver treasures. Li Shitong was not stupid. He knew that Song Wuyan could not accept the gift, so he asked Song Wuyan to transfer the gift to Di.
Shiyuan, then pretended to be Di Shiyuan's hand and gave it to him. After Di Shiyuan secretly sent the box to his house, Li Shitong turned a blind eye to the matter.
County Magistrate Li really had some tricks to force himself out of this matter. What he was guarding against was that if someone really found out about this matter in the future, he could still clean up his case by claiming that officials and businessmen colluded to accept bribes.
Cheng Di Shiyuan was grateful to the county magistrate for his support.
Although this reason is quite nonsense, it sounds much better than "power-for-money trading", which clearly violates the laws of the prosperous country.
"Mr. He, what you said is serious." Li Shitong rolled his eyes, thinking that fortunately he had taken such precautions before, which saved his life: "It is true that Song Wuyan has indeed given me property.
, but I sent him back in front of half the yamen people."
It was necessary to do a complete show. Song Wuyan sent the gift to the Yamen with great fanfare and was rejected by Li Shitong "righteously". Regardless of whether these witnesses were used, they all saw Magistrate Li's behavior anyway.
An act of righteousness that brings freshness to both sleeves.
Ha... He is an old fox, and his work is really impeccable. He Nan thought to himself, but he didn't care whether Li Shitong took the money or not, as long as he was not the mastermind of this matter.
"Let's open the skylight and speak frankly, Lord County Magistrate." He Nan stopped acting, "It doesn't matter how much you know about this matter. Whether you have received Song Wuyan's benefits or not, you don't know in your heart.
There are a lot of them. I'm not interested in any of this, and I don't bother to know."
"He came here today just to get rid of Di Shiyuan and Song Wuyan with your own hands." He Nan first made a request, and then added the conditions he offered: "And you can take this opportunity to rise to prominence.
Try your best before retiring and returning home."
It came true, everything came true. Whether it was the prophecy given to him by the female physiognomist yesterday or the omen that appeared on him today, it all came true. Although Li Shitong still had reservations about He Nan, he
Realizing that this might be his last chance.
Although he was excited in his heart, he did not lose his mind: "Young Master He said it quite easily...I have not made any progress for more than ten years, but Young Master He dares to swear that he can guarantee my success?"
He Nan didn't bother to explain, so he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Shitong. Li Shitong took it suspiciously, twisted out the letter paper and started reading.
The text on the letter was in neat regular script. This was of course the letter that Yan Chunlai brought to He Nan from Li Yushi. It not only proved the relationship between He Nan and Li Mastiff Chun, but also talked about asking He Nan to go to Shuihan County to help.
His senior brother Zhou Li gave him a letter, and the lower right corner of the letter paper was stamped with a unique seal in the world, with eight characters "Censor Li Mastiff Spring Seal of Shengdu" engraved on it.
If someone dares to imitate Li Zhanchun's handwriting, then those who dare to engrave a fake seal will really live long. Those who dare to imitate the seal of the imperial censor of the dynasty would not be able to cut it even if they were tied together. One person who saw the content of this seal
In an instant, Li Shitong no longer dared to doubt, his attitude softened, and he respectfully handed the letter in his hand back to He Nan with both hands.
There was a new governor in Shuihan County, Zhou Li, and Li Shitong also heard about it. Since they were from neighboring counties, he even sent him a generous gift.
"As you can see, although my master doesn't have the time to care about your trivial matters, Senior Brother Zhou is serving as the guardian of a county in a neighboring county." He Nan said lazily. He looked at Li Shitong's appearance and had it in his heart.
Now, even if he chooses to leave, Li Shitong still has to hug his legs and beg him to stay. "I will report to my senior brother in a few days. If you do this well, then
Isn’t it natural for me to express my gratitude to my senior brother?”
In fact, how can He Nan have this power? It is nothing more than using the tiger's skin as a banner and using the power of Li Zhanchun and Zhou Xun to do his own thing. But if he can really pull this county magistrate who has been depressed for half his life and has unrealized ambitions, he will also
He Nan's plan.
"Master He, if you or Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou can really help me, I will be extremely grateful. I will do my best, but you will follow your lead." Li Shitong spent half his life in the officialdom, and he still looks like he is inferior to his superiors.
He seems to have more than enough, and now that he really has a way to get in touch with the superiors, he naturally regards He Nan as his last chance. No matter whether he is sincere or fake, he will just bow to him with tears streaming down his face.
"Master Li, there is no need to be polite." He Nan smiled, and he was already thinking about how to kill Di and Song: "It's not too late for us to deal with the matters at hand first."
