Li You couldn't help but smile bitterly. He himself was surprised that he could laugh at this time and still have time to think about random things. He remembered that he had read time-travel novels in his previous life and often laughed at the protagonists who could set off a shocking case even if they yawned. It was his turn to time-travel.
, I have been living a peaceful and leisurely life, and my parents have a lot of troubles, but there are not too many twists and turns. Who would have expected that he would be involved in such a huge case in the blink of an eye.
It's not appropriate to say he was involved. Maybe no one else knows that he guessed the truth now.
The stonemason we happened to find today was an old craftsman who had repaired the seawall twenty years ago. He discovered the secret of the stone strips by accident, and happened to know about the scrapped stones in Zhejiang. Li You connected some of the doubts in order to find out.
Infer the inside story.
If not, Li You might still be kept in the dark. If this case comes to light and the court investigates it strictly, it will not care whether Li You knows or not. As a small official with no background, he will run away.
Can't fall off.
If you kill a chicken and show it to a monkey, you don't know the fate of others, but he will definitely be one of the chickens, and the smallest one. What should he do? Thinking of this, Li You guessed whether the two bosses, Master Huang and Chen Zhixian, knew about it.
?
What should we do if Master Huang knows about it but County Magistrate Chen doesn’t know about it?
What if Master Huang doesn't know about it, but Magistrate Chen knows about it?
What should we do if both of us know about it?
What should we do if neither of us knows?
When his head was pounding, Li You suddenly woke up and slapped his forehead hard, thinking, at this time, why do I care whether they know or not? Think about your own options first. Magistrate Chen and Master Huang are protected no matter what.
It's not like he was the main culprit of corruption, he just used stolen goods and stones. Even if the incident was reported to an uninformed person, at most it would be a case of ignorance and negligence, and no one would die.
He doesn't have the capital of those two gentlemen, and he can't afford to take this risk. It's the last word to get out of it completely as soon as possible. Don't talk about seeking wealth and wealth at risk. He is not qualified to participate in this bet. He is just a spectator.
A life-threatening thing.
Li You couldn't help but feel glad that others thought he didn't know anything at this time. He had to find a reasonable way to climb out of this too deep pit without letting others doubt him.
To be honest, it was a bit reluctant to ask him to resign like the ancient scholars. Without the status of a subordinate official and no fame, he had to pay taxes and pay taxes, and he had to do corvee labor. Maybe after the Xuhe Water Conservancy project started, the construction site
He would be seen as a coolie on the road, and he might even be pointed out by his former colleagues who oversaw the work. I couldn't stand the thought of this.
There is only one way to go now...
The sky was already dark, so Li You left the county town and headed towards Xishui Town, covering seven or eight miles in less than half an hour. After entering the house, he heard his father scolding his brother Li Zuo outside the house: "You idiot! Shop!"
There is a low-quality fan here who can coax you with just two soft words. You still dare to say that you want to imitate the waiter and take concubines. I will beat you to death, you are a thief and a genius! Do you think you are a waiter? The waiter is sitting at home.
There are noble men who take the initiative to give wives and concubines, but why have they ever asked for help from others!"
Li You rushed into the house and shouted to Li's father: "I really want to ask for it! Please go to Lao Taishan to discuss it and welcome the bride as soon as possible! The sooner the better! Don't delay."
Father Li felt baffled when he heard this, "Don't you want to see the Liu family's young lady? Why are you so anxious?"
Seeing that his father had diverted his attention, Li Zuo took the opportunity to slip away. Before leaving, he gave Li You a thank you look to the waiter for taking the initiative to attract the fire because of your brotherly love.
Li You was embarrassed and said: "It's better for my father not to know the inside story and to hurry up and get married."
Li's father glared at Li You and said: "Xiaoer's wings are strong, and he dares to betray his father. My father is really useless."
Li You had no choice but to tell the story exactly.
When he heard that he was involved in such a big case, Li's father stood up in fright and couldn't help but habitually accused: "Why did you tell me the matter! Don't you know that the fewer people who know about it, the better?"
When he realized that this was not an outsider but his own son, he sighed again: "Knowing it or not, I am your father. How could you get into such a thing?"
Li You said: "Fortunately, my son noticed it in time and hasn't fallen into it yet. He hastened to get married in the past few days and married the Liu family's daughter, so that his son can go to the inspection department in a legitimate manner. In this way, no one will be suspicious of him when he escapes from the county government."
Father Li shook his head and said: "As a father, I won't go. You can go to Mr. Liu and explain the matter yourself. I will just pretend that I don't know anything about it."
"There's no etiquette for negotiating a marriage on your own..."
"I have my own reasons why I don't want to go. In this extraordinary period, we are talking about etiquette and etiquette. You go and talk about it tonight. Now hurry up and leave!" Father Li urged.
Li You had no choice but to leave the house again, first looking at the Xishui Inspection Department's official office. He didn't know whether Inspector Liu would stay at the official office tonight or go back to his home in the county town to rest.
After calling the doorman of the government office and learning that Inspector Liu was going home tonight, Li You had no choice but to return to the county seat. While walking, he carefully considered how to answer his father-in-law. Now he was a little worried that Inspector Liu was timid.
Just break off the engagement; even if you don’t break off the engagement, what’s more worrying is that when Inspector Liu finds out about this, he will grasp the handle like a vulture after seeing a corpse, making himself extremely passive. Let’s just do our best and obey fate, Li You cheered himself up.
.
When they arrived at the Liu Mansion, the doorman recognized Li You and knew that he was the son-in-law that Inspector Liu valued very much. They quickly led him in and sent someone to inform him.
Inspector Liu was chatting with his wife in the hall. Seeing that Li You had come to visit overnight, sweating profusely and panting slightly, he ordered the people around him: "Quickly serve tea, and then go bring a few bowls of porridge, and some more."
"He said to Li You: "My dear son-in-law seems a little tired. I don't need to be polite to my family, and I want to rest and have something to eat."
Mrs. Liu next to her seemed to have the feeling that her mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him. Li You was indeed good-looking, and I heard he was a talented man.
Li You still showed due etiquette and said: "My son-in-law is extremely presumptuous this time. Please forgive me for being rude. I want to welcome you as soon as possible. The sooner the better."
"That's good." Mrs. Liu was very happy after hearing this, and she could put aside a matter on her mind as soon as possible.
Inspector Liu frowned and said, "Xian son-in-law, I don't go around in circles anymore at home. What's the reason? Don't tell me you've offended some big shot and are looking for a backer?"
Li You simply said: "Don't worry, Lao Taishan, it is not to offend anyone. Rather, my son-in-law has noticed through clues that there may be something inappropriate in the county affairs, and it is a big thing that my son-in-law cannot bear. So my son-in-law can't afford it."
My son-in-law needs to get out of the house as soon as possible to protect himself wisely. Please ask Lao Taishan to get married. After the marriage, my son-in-law will go to the inspection department to concentrate on helping Lao Taishan and will no longer be involved in county government affairs."
Inspector Liu asked curiously: "You are so respected by Mr. Chen from the county magistrate, what else can the county not be able to handle? I won't ask about this. With your clever thinking, you must have your own reasons for saying so."
.Since you intend to marry me, there is no reason for me to stop you. But..."
Li You had a headache when he heard this "no", so he reluctantly gathered his energy to bargain with his father-in-law.
The matters agreed upon are as follows: first, to move to Fuxin Lane after the marriage; second, to give Li You the position of deputy inspector at the Inspection Department; third, the day after the marriage, Inspector Liu will apply to Li You to lend his position as the inspector.
Until the child reaches adulthood; the fourth is to go to the county to win a title for Li You to temporarily act as the West Water Inspection Department, so that Li You can start to take care of things during the transition period; the fifth is during the transition period, Liu Inspection has to say that Duo Duo is sick.
