Chapter 86: Would you really rather bully the bald man?
Chapter 86: Would you really rather bully a white-headed man?
In the evening, Li You walked reluctantly on his way home, feeling lost. Celebrities don't have sex. After some inquiries at home, they found out that he was in Guanfu, so they sent someone to call him back. On the other hand, he was beaten.
The old man Guan woke up after sleeping outside. When he heard that Li You had come to the house, he went crazy again. Li You couldn't stay in the Guan family any longer, let alone other unreasonable intentions.
After entering the house, he saw Wang Tongzhi and his father sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard chatting. They were very unimpressive. Li You felt that this Tongzhi master really embarrassed them as an official! If someone like the censor saw it,
When the time comes, he might be impeached.
Li You came up to meet him, but Wang Tongzhi raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy."
Next to him, Father Li said with a serious face: "You went out to fool around again, didn't you know that Mr. Wang was looking for you! Mr. Wang has agreed to help Li Zheng pass the imperial examination, and he must repay the favor. I heard that Mr. Wang needs something.
You help me, and you have to do your best!"
Father, after all, you are also a vicious person in the county. Can you not meet the official? It's like being under the halo of mental retardation. What kind of mentality is this? Li You sighed in his heart, if he promised to help, his promise would be in vain.
Fortunately, he had some ideas after talking to Miss Guan at this time. He might as well sell favors to Wang Tongzhi and solve the problem of dozens of Fucheng scoundrels in the prison. He said to Wang Tongzhi: "I know the purpose of Mr. Wang's visit.
, please take a step to speak."
After that, he glared at his father. The meaning was obvious. You, a commoner, just avoided the official's words. In fact, he was worried that his father would inexplicably help Wang Tongzhi to speak for him when he was nearby, making it difficult for him.
Father Li Yangyang left.
Seeing no one around, Li You said: "The money in this county is indeed very tight. Even if you want to help the county governor, it will be difficult to make a living without rice. But now there is a matter of making money, and I would like to persuade County Chen to do it in the name of the government. With that,
The money can be turned over to the treasury."
Wang Tongzhi asked doubtfully: "Is this feasible? Is it that your county magistrates don't want to bear the risk of competing with the people for profit?"
"Your Majesty Wang stooped down to come to my home and was willing to help me, Tong Sheng of the Li clan, to take the imperial examination. How can I not feel deeply grateful to you? Although this matter is extremely difficult, I will definitely try my best to facilitate this matter in order to repay your kindness.
"Now that he has done it, Li You wants to emphasize that difficulties are a favor. After all, he is a fellow acquaintance. He may need it at some point.
Wang Tongzhi felt relieved, and in the blink of an eye he deliberately revealed Master Huang's name, "Then thank you in advance. As expected, as Mr. Huang said, this matter must be done by Inspector Li."
Master Huang, Master Huang, you really praise me. Li You could only smile bitterly in his heart. He probably sent the old man to him because he was so entangled that he had no other choice. He also thought of the dozens of Fucheng gangsters in the prison, as well as Inspector Hong.
However, Li You did not say it directly, but deliberately asked: "Your Excellency, I am a fifth-rank official, and I have come to visit you at all costs. I feel a little ashamed and unworthy. Are you so confident that you can persuade me?"
Li You had already agreed to help lobby Chen Zhixian, so Wang Tongzhi had no need to be wary. He calmly took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Li You and said: "To tell you the truth, I came prepared. Please read it."
this."
Li You took it and read it, and it read: "Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang. Laozi said that heaven and earth are in harmony, so that nectar can fall. This is the principle. Therefore, if yin and yang are not coordinated, there will be drought. The ancients also said that the yin and yang of heaven and earth are not coordinated.
, the reason why men in Kuang hate women. Dong Zi, a great sage of the Han Dynasty, prayed for rain and ordered officials and people to have sex occasionally to reconcile yin and yang, which was effective. Based on this, there was a shaman in the Xujiang City God's Temple who wished the Han family to take the body of a woman.
Serving the yin gods, even yin women, at that time there was also a well-known person in the county, Li You, who was tall and strong and was regarded as the most yang man. When the two of them had sex in front of the gods, they had a miraculous effect of harmonizing yin and yang, and sweet rain fell on the county."
After watching it, Li You couldn't laugh or cry. It was so interesting that his scandal was used as a reference. He asked: "Where did it come from? It's simply ridiculous."
Wang Tongzhi said seriously: "After the masters discussed the reason for the rainfall in your county, they wrote such a report and reported it to me. I felt it was outrageous and stopped it."
Is this a formal submission? Are you kidding me... Li You guessed that those magicians must have used different methods to deliberately disgust him. If he really wanted to report it to the government, it would be a bit embarrassing for the whole of Suzhou.
Wang Tongzhi took this article and endured it until the end before he revealed it and sold it to himself. If he refused to help, I'm afraid it would not be a sale but a blackmail.
Then I thought, this old man looks mediocre and incompetent. Maybe it's all an illusion. There are many officials who dare to sacrifice their face. How many of them have reached the fifth rank just by doing this? Could it be that Old Man Wang ordered the magicians to write this thing?
The more I think about it, the more likely it is...
Let's not think about it for now. Wang Tongzhi probably has no other trump card now. Li You handed over his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your support. This article is really obscene and shameless. How can it stain the eyes of the master."
"Brother Li, please don't worry." Wang Tongzhi crumpled the submission into a ball and threw it away to show his sincerity.
Li You then said: "But there is one more thing. The Xishui Inspection Department has imprisoned dozens of gangsters in the city. It involves the examination of subordinate officials. Please tell Mr. Wang to inform Inspector Hong not to come again. Because it is inconvenient to interrogate.
After the case is closed, we can only hold him until the current number of people is fulfilled during the assessment. I will release him when the assessment is completed in August."
Wang Laotongzhi was in a bit of a dilemma. Inspector Hong was the leader of the subordinate staff of the government office, and there were corresponding promotion officials above him, and he passed judgment all the way to the prefect. It was difficult for him, an old comrade who was not in power, to speak, but he refused.
But Li You couldn't help but sighed. The trump card was revealed too early. No wonder this guy just asked all kinds of questions, which was really embarrassing for an eighty-year-old woman... I had no choice but to agree: "I will try my best."
By the way, why did Wang Tongzhi compromise so hard? It turned out that the prefect wanted to ask him to serve as an official and return to his hometown, but Wang Laotongzhi couldn't go. He felt that he would have no problem working for another ten years in good health, so the prefect gave him this big problem of asking for money.
I know that even the magistrate doesn't want to (just doesn't want to, but doesn't dare) to directly face the magistrate Chen who is extremely tough in all aspects. If it were another county, it would be just a matter of words.
Old man Wang, who didn't want to be forced to retire, had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Xujiang County. A fifth-grade civil servant, even this little ninth-grade sesame official, had to beg him. Thanks to him for not being a scholar, he paid tribute for many years.
Having served as a subordinate and miscellaneous person, I have learned how to grovel and kneel down. How could it be done by someone else? For the white-haired old man to stoop to such an extent, he is pitiful and worthy of sighing. Fortunately, Li You happened to have a way to take advantage of the situation.
I just helped him, but it would be even more humiliating if someone else turned him away.
Everyone in the world said: It is better to bully a white-bearded man than to bully a poor young man. But who knows that God’s will is elusive and life is unpredictable. Old man Wang actually had a strange fate in his sixties. From then on, he served as an official until he was eighty years old.
It became an official legend in the Jinghe Dynasty that he became an official only after he was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan. People in Jianghu called him Gongsun Hongye of the country.
At that time, Mr. Li Youli was really happy and disappointed. On the one hand, he was happy that he and Mr. Wang had an old friendship and they had helped each other. On the other hand, he was beating his chest and regretting it. He only regretted that he had a pair of snobbish dog eyes.
There is no real sense of betrayal and kindness in times of need. He is the governor in charge of the richest region in the world.
Without further ado, seeing that Wang Tongzhi, who had persuaded Li You to help and offered a lot of favors at the same time, did not stay at Li's house for long, he got up in his sedan chair and returned to the county mansion. Unfortunately, Li's father had arranged for a beautiful banquet to be prepared at home.
The king stayed with Zhi to have a banquet, but it was all wasted, and Li You secretly despised him. However, when old Wang became rich, the situation changed, and Li's father used this matter to despise Li You all day long.
