Li Youzheng was about to send someone to cast a net to catch fish, but he saw the doorman coming to the signing room to report: "Master Pan from the Lanzhou Inspection Department is here to visit and has arrived outside the door."
The Lanzhou Inspection Department is one of the three inspection departments in the county. Its jurisdiction is in the eastern part of the county, located in the strategic area between the county seat and the prefecture. Mr. Pan is naturally the inspector of the Lanzhou Inspection Department.
Li You hurriedly stood up and went out to greet the gate. He saluted Inspector Pan and said: "The old man is here to visit, so I would like to kill the younger man to welcome him from afar." Li You had seen that he and Liu Lao Taishan were regarded as brothers, and they were both from the same family.
I'm doing patrol work, so I call you "Senior".
Inspector Pan was in his forties, wearing a blue official robe and a black gauze on his head. He was in the prime of life and had a handsome appearance. He smiled bitterly and said in return: "I don't dare to be a senior, I'm here to ask for help!"
Li You subconsciously felt that his reason for coming must have something to do with the inspection department's assessment...
Please come in first, and when we have tea and talk in the small hall, Li You only greets you and does not take the initiative to talk about his purpose.
Inspector Pan quickly said: "This year my harvest is not good. There are only seventy-nine thieves caught. The test plan can only be ordinary. I still don't have twenty-one to be rewarded for being competent. It's hard to catch so many people in a hurry."
.When I went to the county town today, I heard that Inspector Liu said that there were more than fifty prisoners from Fucheng detained in your place, so I came here to ask for help. Can you share some, I feel that there will be a generous reward. "
Li You also said truthfully: "To be honest, we have more than fifty people in our company, which is enough for outstanding people. This opportunity is really rare and may not come again in the future."
Speaking of this extraordinary test, it is indeed difficult to obtain, and the conditions are very demanding. A competent person can be made, but extraordinary people have to rely on luck. For inspections, it is not that easy to catch two hundred thieves a year.
If Li You hadn't been lucky enough to catch more than fifty local gangsters just before the exam, and had a good foundation laid by his father-in-law, how would he have dared to think about Zhuo Yi's exam?
Inspector Pan advised: "You and I will be doing inspections for the rest of our lives, and there is no hope of promotion. Even if I have an outstanding performance, I can only look at it, and I haven't seen any practical use. Why not help me?"
This time, from now on, everyone can communicate with each other and take care of each other. That's what your old man Taishan said."
From an ordinary person's point of view, it makes sense, Li You thought to himself, but your hometown bird knows the ambitions of Hongshu. This outstanding person is not for the inspection position, but for me.
But because of the official favor, I couldn't just turn it down. I might have to ask for help in the future. Suddenly I came up with an idea and asked, "When will your office take the exam?"
"Three days later."
Li You was overjoyed. This way, he no longer had to be embarrassed. He was grateful for the Internet in his previous life. "I have a plan! This company will test the plan later. After the matter is over, you can send soldiers and ships to our company and secretly transport these people to Guiyang overnight."
If you are detained here, you can serve as your prisoner if you wait for the test. Your place is close to the capital, and they will be escorted there to save their journey home. Just explain it carefully and ask them to cooperate honestly. "
Hearing this, Inspector Pan also said: "That's good, that's fine. I'm in a hurry today. I'll hold a banquet in the county town to thank my brother after everything is done!"
After seeing off Pan's inspection, Li You sent his soldiers out to fish. After seeing that nothing was going on at the government office and the sun was setting to the west, he got on the sedan chair and went home.
Since moving to the county seat, it has taken half an hour one way from home to the inspection department. Inspection Li had to sit very hard on the way and his back ached.
When Li inspected the house, the doorman on duty reported that Aunt Guan was waiting for him. He also said that an old man from Guan had come to see Aunt Guan today.
What's going on with my father-in-law? When Li You arrived at the backyard, he went to Guan Xiuxiu's south wing. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Guan Xiuxiu kneeling on the ground to greet him. Li You was really shocked. What's the big deal?
How could something make a woman like her kneel down? "What does this mean? If you have something to say, speak up."
But Guan Xiuxiu pleaded: "I beg you, husband, to spare my father."
Li You seems to have realized something. It seems that this cheap father-in-law is not going away anymore. Does this stupid old man have any brains? Does he know that a mere ordinary businessman can't fight against Li Inspector. He couldn't help but sigh, why?
It's very disturbing to have my two father-in-laws like this.
"You get up first, what does he want?"
Guan Xiuxiu did not stand up, "My father and Cui Jiansheng went to sue my husband."
Li You was confused when he heard this, "Who is Cui Jiansheng?"
It turns out that Cui Jiansheng was the man who wanted to marry off the old man. Mr. Guan couldn't tell the difference between a supervisor and a judge, so he regarded Cui Jiansheng as a judge. In fact, Cui Jiansheng was just a scholar. When he was in his thirties,
The first few elders were not willing to pay tribute, so he was promoted to the Imperial Academy and went to Nanjing Imperial College to study, where he was known as Cui Jiansheng.
It is said that when you become a supervisor of the Imperial College, you are initially qualified to serve as an official. Although the ranking is far worse than that of a Jinshi, you can only fill various low-level miscellaneous jobs. That Wang Laotongzhi is regarded as a weird thing by Li You
This is also the background. However, according to the system, before the selected supervisors can become officials, they must go through a certain process of working in the government for several years.
Cui Jiansheng has been working in the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for four years. Now he is thirty-nine years old. It is time for him to leave prison and become an official. But choosing a good position requires money to operate, and Cui Jiansheng is not a wealthy man.
It happened that his wife had died a few years ago, so he wanted to return to his hometown to find a rich man to marry and remarry, and earn a little dowry to use for his official position.
With Cui Jiansheng's reputation as a mere scholar, and his status as a thirty-nine-year-old old supervisor, he is still a widower. How could a real wealthy family like him? However, it is not that no one wanted him. He was chosen by a small rich man with little knowledge, a customs officer and a foreign minister.
.
From the perspective of the customs officials, after all, Cui Jiansheng is a scholar who will soon become an official. Once his daughter is married, he will become the official wife of the principal wife. For the Guan family, who is a small business owner, it is difficult to find a second daughter who marries an official as the principal wife.
I have the opportunity, and I can bear it when I am older. If I am really young and successful, it will not be my daughter's turn.
Customs officer Wai and Cui Jiansheng seemed to hit it off at first sight, but Cui Jiansheng always felt that the dowry promised by the Guan family was too small and not enough to use, so he has not agreed to the marriage. That's why Customs officer Wai took risks and trafficked a large amount of private salt to make huge profits. I don't know why.
Whether it was a tragedy or a comedy, everyone knew the outcome. Inspector Li, who was bored most of the night, caught him red-handed.
But it was said that Cui Jiansheng was dreaming of getting rich and rich, but when he saw that there was no movement from the Guan family, he thought that he was deliberately running against the customs officials to raise dowry, but he didn't think of anywhere else. However, he recently learned something that made him
Shocking news, Miss Guan went to work as a concubine for Inspector Li!
What does this mean? The day before yesterday, Cui Jiansheng angrily went to the customs officer to question him.
The customs officer said with a sad face: "My family is sorry for Mr. Cui. A few days ago, I was caught with a sore leg and wanted to be punished. When I was thinking of a way, my daughter entered the Li family by herself. Now that the deal is over, what can be done?
"
"Then go and accuse him of raping a civilian girl." How could Cui Jiansheng be willing to lose a wife with a rich dowry in vain? I heard that she was still very young and beautiful. Just when he was about to get it, something unexpected happened.
"I can't complain. This Li You is a close confidant of the county magistrate. Everyone in this county doesn't know who he is."
Cui Jiansheng said confidently: "It doesn't matter. I have worked in the two capitals' judicial departments over the years and have become familiar with many people. If the magistrate dares to cover up, he will sue to the superior. There will be a result. Besides, we are not trying to put Li You to death."
, but asking him to let go of a mere concubine, the magistrate should weigh it up."
Cui Jiansheng did know some things, and he analyzed the situation to Mr. Guan: "The marriage between a man and a woman must be ordered by the parents and must be accompanied by all the etiquette. Your daughter went to the Li family as a concubine without her father's order.
Is it legal? If everyone follows suit and elopes, where are the etiquette and laws? It is reasonable to sue wherever you go."
The customs officer said worriedly: "But... my daughter never does anything according to her father's orders..."
"It's fair to say that you are also her father! She disobeyed her father's orders, and everything she did was illegal and propriety!" Cui Jiansheng said with hatred: "As long as you insist on opposing this matter in court, Li
You can't produce any other evidence, so he is accused of abducting a good girl, so we will definitely win the case."
The customs officer said again: "But Li You has something to do with my family."
"What's the handle?" Cui Jiansheng asked with great interest.
It was rare that the customs officer was confused and he hesitated: "It's a small matter."
"I heard that Li You also values your daughter very much. It's impossible to go to court with evidence to deal with her father. Or, why don't you go talk to your daughter and find ways to take out the evidence and destroy it?"
"But even if my daughter escapes from the Li family, she won't be perfect. I'm afraid she won't be worthy of Mr. Cui."
Cui Jiansheng expressed his determination firmly: "She is not to blame for this, I don't mind it!"
"But……"
Cui Jiansheng became impatient and said, "Don't give up! You and I will make a marriage certificate first, and we will be sure to prove Li You's crime of abducting a good family and raping a girl. I will also find a few old classmates with honors to come together in broad daylight."
Even the county magistrate can't openly cover up."
Deep father's love prevailed... Guan Laoyuanwai finally became cruel. As long as he could rescue his miserable daughter from Li Lushan's claws and find a good home, even if Li You took advantage of his own family and repaired his body to pieces or
Even after being exiled for three thousand miles, I have no regrets. Men stand between heaven and earth and cannot make mistakes again and again. How can they let women and children continue to suffer on their behalf?
The third, sixth and ninth day of every month are the days when the county magistrate puts up notice boards. Today happens to be the sixth day of the lunar month. Cui Jiansheng and the customs officer went to the county office to submit the petition, and then the customs officer went to Li's house to lobby his daughter. He received a stick.
He was still afraid of Li You, so he said a few words and left in a hurry.
Hearing from Guan Xiuxiu that Mr. Guan and some Cui Jiansheng had sued him, Li Youhun laughed nonchalantly and said: "Thankfully, Sister Xiu, you are your father. If it had been anyone else, I would have...
Hum hum…”
Guan Xiuxiu said worriedly: "It seems that my father is very confident and has made sufficient preparations. My husband, it is better to be careful."
On one side was his de facto husband, but on the other side was her father. Li You was worried that Aunt Guan would not stand firm and rebel, and was determined to show off in front of his concubine, so he said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter whether I and County Master Chen are the same.
What does it have to do with it, are you still afraid of his sideways? There are thousands of reasons for such a nonsense prosecution. As long as County Master Chen is not correct, the prosecution will not be handed over to the public case, and the prosecution will not be tried. I want to see what he can do. You women's people
, do you know what it means for officials to protect each other..."
At this time, the maid Lv Shui came in and said: "There is a message from the front, saying that a police officer from Zhao has sent a summons to my house, asking the master to go to the county government in three days on the ninth day of the lunar month..."
Don't pretend to be cool, or you'll be struck by lightning if you pretend to be cool.
Guan Xiuxiu couldn't help but cover her sleeves with her head down and giggle. After laughing, she apologized and said, "My husband has a lawsuit. I shouldn't laugh. Please punish me."
