"Wha...what?"
"nothing."
The Bozhou Prefecture is almost leaking like a sieve. If Sun Wei sends the yamen runners out everywhere, isn't that equivalent to exposing the direction of the investigation?
I definitely can't count on it~
Li Qingcha said, "Sorry to bother you, Lord Sun."
Sun Wei nodded, said goodbye, and left quickly.
After watching his back disappear, Gong Lianxue poked Li Qingcha in the waist.
"Brother, do you believe he can find out something?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
"what?"
"Let's go back to the inn first and talk while we walk."
Li Qingcha took the two girls and walked towards the inn.
The sun is in the sky,
After a whole morning of trial, it was time for lunch. The three bought some meat buns and ate them as they walked.
The two girls' cheeks bulged.
Li Qingcha looked at it and wanted to poke it, thinking it would feel good.
Xiang Nanyu swallowed the food.
"Brother, why do you think Sun Wei can't find anything?"
"If the government makes a high profile, it will definitely alert the enemy, and it will only be a waste of time and effort."
"Then why did you ask him to go?"
"Hey, what is our purpose in coming to Bozhou? It's the first mission after the Demon Sect tried to merge meridians - to save Mingxuetang. I almost took off Jian Zengren's underwear in the lobby. He felt resistance and will definitely find another scapegoat. Isn't our mission accomplished? Moreover, Sun Wei's high-profile actions can provide him with convenience, why don't we make good use of it?"
Xiang Nanyu couldn't help but give Li Qingcha a blank look.
Only save Ming Xuetang?
The girl took a big bite of the bun.
puff~
Li Qingcha couldn't help laughing.
"You, you, what are you doing? You have a mouth full of oil."
"If there is, then there is."
The girl pulled her brother’s sleeve to wipe her mouth.
Li Qingcha was speechless.
She coughed lightly and said, "We definitely can't rely on the government for this matter. After all, Jian Zengren himself is likely to be the umbrella for the smuggling group."
Umbrella...
This new word sounds very vivid.
Xiang Nanyu said: "Then there is no other way?"
Li Qingcha sighed and said, "Anyway, there is no way to deal with it from the top down. But there might be hope from the bottom up. For example, we can catch pirates and smugglers, and then let them report the people above us."
"Didn't you just mention 'protective umbrella'? Will reporting it be useful?"
"The Seventh Prince's team is coming soon. Although that man is stupid, he has a good father. We may be able to take down Jian Zengren through him."
"Well……"
Xiang Nanyu seemed to be thinking about something.
Now, she has understood.
"You're using a delaying tactic?"
"It's not just a delaying tactic. We can save Ming Xue Tang by taking advantage of the situation. It's a win-win situation."
"But Hengqiu is still in prison."
"I bet that soon, even today or tomorrow, Jian Zengren will send lobbyists to show weakness. By then, Heng Qiu's release from prison will be a foregone conclusion."
Xiang Nanyu and Gong Lianxue looked at each other and both felt that what Li Qingcha said made sense.
For Jian Zengren, the Seventh Prince's entry into Bozhou was an ultimatum. Under such an urgent situation, it was necessary to do both things simultaneously: to make peace with Li Qingcha and to find a new scapegoat.
stare--
stare--
The two men stared at Li Qingcha.
Li Qingcha: ???
"What are you doing? It makes my hair stand on end."
The two said in unison,
“Have you thought about it a long time ago?” ×2
"correct."
"Hmph!"×2
The two girls seemed dissatisfied and walked quickly towards the inn.
Li Qingcha hurried to catch up.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, the innkeeper came up to greet them and said, "Sir, the former Household Department Secretary Zhao Nong Zhao is hosting a banquet at Tingyu Tower. Please come tomorrow night."
What you say will come true.
but,
Why does the name Zhao Nong sound familiar?
Who is coming...
Chapter 216 It turns out to be you
the next day,
evening,
Upstairs in the misty rain.
"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.
Success or failure turned empty.
Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.
The white-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu used to watch autumn and spring.
A jug of muddy wine meets together.
Many things in ancient and modern times are all talked about with laughter. "
……
Zhao Nong couldn't help but feel emotional.
Even though Li Qingcha wrote this poem to mock himself, he had to admit that it was majestic and had a feeling of transcending time and space to see everything.
How could someone so young write this poem?
Zhao Nong stood by the railing, looking out the window, his gray beard swaying in the wind.
The restaurant was filled with the sound of music and singing, making the diners very happy. They didn't know what day it was. As they sang loudly, passers-by outside frequently looked at them.
Someone came up behind Zhao Nong.
"Master Zhao, will Li Qingcha come?"
The speaker was Rui Yuankai, the co-magistrate of Bozhou Prefecture, who was in charge of salt, grain, catching thieves, river defense, coastal borders, river engineering, water conservancy, as well as clearing military records and pacifying the civilians.
"Yes," Zhao Nong said with certainty, "He won't offend me."
"That's good...that's good..."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm not worried, Mr. Zhao. The weather is cloudy and windy. It might rain. You should go back with me to avoid catching a cold."
"Yes, by the way, think about how to deal with Li Qingcha."
Zhao Nong fought Chu Zhongtian for three hundred rounds because of the demon spy.
As a result, he was defeated and demoted, and returned to Bozhou to retire.
At this moment, his hair and beard were even paler, his face had many more wrinkles, he looked depressed, and he even trembled when he walked.
After finally returning to the private room, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I don't know if I can survive the rainy season in Bozhou..."
The officials exchanged glances.
It was because Zhao Nong's health was declining and he had a grudge against Li Qingcha that they asked this old man to be the "peacemaker".
When a person is about to die, he should take revenge quickly, right?
Rui Yuankai said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, what are you talking about? As the saying goes, 'An old man in the family is like a treasure'. You are an old man in the officialdom of Bozhou. Mr. Jian often said that he still has to rely on you to help him get on the horse and send him off~"
hiss……
This is such flattery that it makes one's teeth ache just by listening to it.
Zhao Nong looked at Rui Yuankai,
Being able to become a fifth-rank Tongzhi at such a young age, it is no wonder that there is no fixed number of Tongzhis in a prefecture, and Bozhou only has one.
With this level of flattery, he will definitely be promoted quickly.
Rui Yuankai didn't feel greasy at all.
He leaned forward along the pole,
"Mr. Zhao, I just heard you reciting a poem called "Linjiangxian", 'The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and its waves wash away all heroes'. Wow... this poem is really heroic!"
Upon hearing this poem, the other officials could not help but nod their heads.
"These two sentences alone are enough to go down in history."
“It’s rare… it’s rare…”
"It's all white! Come, pour the wine!"
……
Some people even turn the wine bowl upside down, tap it lightly with chopsticks, and sing while beating the rhythm.
Finally someone couldn't bear it anymore.
"Master Zhao, this poem should have more than two lines, right? The whole poem "Linjiangxian" has a total of fifty-six words. What about the latter part?"
Everyone looked at him eagerly.
Zhao Nong: ￣□￣｜｜
He coughed twice,
"Ahem... this poem was written by Li Qingcha."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Deathly silence enveloped the room.
