It is said that when Li You saw his new love, Yu Wan'er, appearing, he stopped watching the excitement and walked towards the entrance of the village. With Gaoyou Prefecture's experience, the guards followed closely, fearing that Mr. Li would make a mistake.
When Li You walked to the entrance of the village, Yu Wan'er was already talking to the government officials. Ma Qianjun, who had sued Mrs. Yu for refusing to marry, said at the side: "If Mrs. Wan obeys the contract and obeys me, this lawsuit will naturally be avoided."
Li You didn't take anyone else seriously and called out as if no one else was watching: "Why is Sister Wan here?"
When Mrs. Yu was in trouble, she suddenly heard Li You's voice. She turned her head and saw the big patron who had already surrendered. She was surprised and happy, and her heart relaxed. She quickly left the Yamen and came up to ask: "Why is Mr. Lang here?"
this?"
"Lang Jun?" Hearing such an affectionate address, Ma Qianjun looked at Li You with hostility, then threw the iron fork aside in shame, held his head high and chest out, making a somewhat grand appearance. He was thinking whether to do it or not.
Go forward, but the dozen or so guards around the person who comes here look very fierce.
Li You smiled and said: "I came to Sizhou for official business and met you unexpectedly. It was a coincidence made in heaven. I remember you said you were from Fengyang. You deceived me because the network was very careful."
"Mr. Lang misremembered. The Nu family said that he was from Fengyang Mansion, and Sizhou was also from Fengyang Mansion. How could he lie to you?" Mrs. Yu said cleverly.
When they first met, Yu Wan'er didn't trust Mr. Li very much and didn't want to reveal her identity, so she vaguely said that she was from Fengyang Mansion. Moreover, Fengyang has many local artists, so it would be easier for others to believe that she was from Fengyang.
Li You laughed at this little bit of cleverness, then leaned his head over and whispered teasingly: "You go to the mansion in the city at night. I know that the state is too shabby, and I don't know how many people will be sent to wait on you, so I will recruit you to accompany you in bed!"
Mr. Li has not been near a woman for almost ten days since he went out. If there weren't so many people here, he would have started to take action on the elastic body in front of him.
Since she lost her virginity to Li You, Madam Yu has become more relaxed. She glanced sideways at some of the government servants and raised her voice and said, "My family is involved in lawsuits and will have to eat in jail. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve my husband."
Although Mr. Li did not wear a loose official robe for the convenience of movement, those government officials were all very discerning people. Seeing that Li You was very impressive and had a group of strong bodyguards with him, he knew that he must be a high-ranking official.
Hearing Mrs. Yu point out the matter, the leading yamen officer came forward and cautiously said to Li You: "This husband has invited me. Mrs. Yu has a marriage contract with Ma, but she intends to break the contract. The state yamen has approved the lawsuit and issued the cards."
Let me wait to invite someone today..."
Li You interrupted him arrogantly, stretched out his hand and said: "Bring the ticket and have a look!"
The leading officer hesitated for a moment and handed over the ticket. It clearly stated that Ma Qianjun was suing Lai for his marriage and that Yu Wan'er was the defendant. After reading it, Li You said: "It's such a trivial matter, but I bothered the magistrate to sign and seal it. Could it be that you gave it to me?"
The uncle stuffed his money and built it himself?"
The leading yamen officer immediately understood that this noble young master was an expert and must have connections in the officialdom, so he did not hide it. He cupped his hands and said: "My husband is joking, how dare I forge the tickets? After Wang Zhizhou arrived in Sizhou
I took a side house for the daughter of the Ma family..."
The subtext is, just talk to Zhizhou, I can't make the decision.
Ma Qianjun came over at some point and interrupted: "She is my own sister."
Hearing this, Li You despised Wang Zhizhou in his heart. This state official was too dishonest. He openly issued tickets to help force the marriage of his concubine brother who was not worthy of the throne. It was really disgraceful to spread the news.
He doesn't even bother to do this. It can be seen from small things that this person's style is limited to this.
Then he asked Yu Wan'er, "What's going on? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
Mrs. Yu helplessly replied: "My father did have an oral engagement with his family back then. Later, my family went out to perform as entertainers. The man named Ma has married another man, but his wife died of illness last year. When I returned home a few days ago, this man named Ma
Then he came to make a fuss and insisted on re-proposing the engagement. It was just verbal and could not be accurate, not to mention that since he married another, the previous engagement has been invalidated. He is just messing around."
So that's the case. After thinking about it, Li You said to the Yamen servant: "I will go to the Yamen office to see Mr. Wang to discuss the matter. This woman will go with me for the time being."
This matter is very simple. It doesn't matter who is right. The Ma family is just Wang Zhizhou's concubines and relatives, and they have no weight. It will definitely be resolved by interceding on his own. Wang Zhizhou will not lose face because of these unworthy side wives.
As soon as they heard Li You calling himself an official, the government officials guessed his identity and had no choice but to acquiesce to Mr. Li.
After returning to the city and entering the state government office, Li You went to Wang Zhizhou to tell him about Yu Wan'er.
But I heard Mr. Wang say in a very disrespectful manner: "Sir Li is sent by the imperial court to inspect river affairs. Other local matters have nothing to do with Mr. Li."
Li You was surprised when he was rejected. He really didn't expect Wang Zhizhou to express his position like this. Did he also talk about the rule of "officials protecting each other"? He also hinted very thoroughly: "When this woman was in Yangzhou, she had some relations with me. It's inconvenient."
Marry someone else."
Wang Zhizhou seemed determined not to give Li You face, "Then Madam Yu has been away for many years, which is like running away from the promise. The responsibility lies with her. The Ma family had no choice but to marry another woman. Now that there is an opportunity, why not ask Li You to honor the promise?"
Your Excellency, although you have the power and position in your hands, but the law has no dignity, so why is there any inconvenience for her to marry another person?"
At this point, Li You was stunned. After all, he was also a famous figure in Jiangzuo, a well-known official star in the world with a bright future, and an official sent by the imperial court to Sizhou, but he didn't even have this bit of face in Wang Zhizhou? Does he understand the rules of officialdom?
After Mr. Li and Wang Zhizhou broke up on bad terms, he still couldn't figure it out. Did Wang Zhizhou lack a sense of purpose?
In fact, Li You overestimated himself. Today is not the 21st century with developed media and Internet, and it is not an era when every disturbance spreads across the country. Mr. Li offended the Queen Mother and was expelled from the capital with a stick, which happened at the beginning of the year.
Half a year, given the efficiency of information transmission in this era, is not a very long period.
On both sides of the canal or in prosperous areas like the south of the Yangtze River, people in the officialdom are constantly coming and going, and all kinds of news are naturally well-informed. But in a desolate place like Sizhou, which is not a transportation hub, it is almost useless in terms of news.
Wang Zhizhou only heard about Master Li's poetry talent, and at the same time learned about Li You being demoted from the capital from Di Bao. He did not have a deep background and no other inside information, which led to his lack of intuitive and comprehensive understanding of Master Li.
.
More importantly, Wang Zhizhou came from a poor family. Before he passed the imperial examination, he was no better than Cui Jiansheng. He did not have the ability to see flowers like Li You, and his mother-in-law was mediocre and boring. Until he married the Ma family in Sizhou
Mr. Wang was fascinated by this charming concubine in the room. He loved her like a treasure and did not want to disobey her in the slightest.
Not to mention that facing Li You, who was younger but was entrusted with important tasks by the imperial court, Wang Zhizhou felt faintly jealous.
However, although the above is one of the reasons, it is not the most important reason.
Back at the mansion, Mrs. Yu, who was waiting for the results, asked, "How is the matter?"
Li You replied shamelessly: "It's strange that Zhizhou refuses to give in. I will find another way. You have been following me these days. I don't believe that the state government dares to blatantly rob people."
Yu Wan'er sighed: "This time I returned to my hometown, the Nu family wanted to recruit a group of reliable tribesmen to use, but I really didn't expect that Ma Qianjun was so lustful that he caused trouble."
Having only been in Sizhou for two days, Mr. Li felt that there were so many weird things here. The people he met, from river workers to magistrates, were not normal.
