The truth is not as easy as Li Chong and Wang Chao thought, after the four car dealership owners in Tianchang County were summoned to the county office, Li Chong opened his mouth to ask, and the four of them shook their heads like rattles, and said in unison that there was no such thing.

Li Zhong said a lot of words bitterly, and the toss of pulling out the knife and inserting it with a horizontal eyebrow could not make any of the four nod in acknowledgement.

"Lord County, where did you get the news, since the beginning of winter, there are no ships on the dock at all, don't you know that the water level of the dock is okay with a bathtub, and the cargo ship can't get ashore at all, we want to have such a thing, but in fact, there is no big business in the car shop for several months, and every day there are more than a dozen cars going out to pull bulk cargo, and two hundred cars go out at the same time, where to find it?" Jiang Dongjia, who was hitchhiking, spat Xingzi said.

"yes, how can there be such a good thing? A big cart is hired for a day, and even a man with a mule and a horse costs 600 yuan, and 200 carts are 120 yuan. "The Song Dong family of YTO Automobile Dealer actually began to settle the accounts.

Kong Dongjia of Huitong Automobile Dealer also coaxed: "Yes, if the Li County Order has such a good thing, please introduce it to me, and it will definitely give benefits to the County Order......

Li Dazhong frowned, could it be that his judgment was wrong? Didn't this gang hire a big car at all?

Li Zhong pulled the dynasty aside, and carefully asked the dynasty how he learned that there were so many carts of grain, and the dynasty was asked by him in a weak heart, because he didn't see it in person, but he just listened to Wang Wu and Li Hu's oral statement, and the two didn't count, it was just a convoy in the night, and the number was also estimated, who knows how many?

As a result, Li Chong and Wang Chao both became suspicious, and the number of cars was not clear, so they called someone to ask, but they definitely couldn't ask.

Li Chong did not give up, and asked the proprietors of the four major car dealers of Jiang Song, Kong, and Chen how many vehicles each family had sent out around November 289; Only Jiang Dongjia thought for a long time and said: "The business is light, the recent business still remembers, at the end of last month, a total of six businesses were received, and at the end of the month, two cars came out on the 23rd, or the widow Li in Beicheng died, his son hired a big car to pull the coffin and funeral, and another car to pull the relatives who mourned, if there is no business, who will take such an unfortunate business?" ”

The other three car dealerships all said that they had no business at the end of last month, so they didn't even need to think about it; Then he vomited bitterness, saying that it was difficult to do business, whether the tax could be reduced or postponed, etc., which made Li Zhong annoyed, so he had to wave them away.

After the owners of the car dealers went, Li Chong and Wang Chao sat in the county office with big eyes, you look at me, I look at you, I can't think of a good way.

The dynasty had no choice but to sit in the county office, so he rode around the streets, and when he saw the people driving the cart, he went up and asked, "Hey, where were you on the twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth day of the last month?" ”

"Are you crazy!"

"Hey, you were in Yangzhou City on the twenty-ninth night of last month, right? I seem to have seen you. ”

"Are you sick? Last month, on the twenty-ninth day, Lao Tzu was kicked out of bed and knelt on the washboard all night by the Hun family, and he was disgusting, didn't he? Who the fuck hasn't been rectified by the Hun family? ”

I asked most of the city, so that everyone knew that there was a horse riding a second man on the street. Forced everywhere to ask where the others were on the twenty-eight and twenty-nine of the previous month?

So there were idlers who rushed to watch, and a few ruffians were very bored, and the dynasty didn't ask him, but he went up and said, "This lord, quickly ask me where was the night of the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth of the last month?" ”

Wang Chao said: "You are not driving a big car, what are you doing?" ”

The ruffians said, "Just ask, can't you?" and will give you an answer. ”

Wang Chao said: "Then what were you doing that night?" ”

The ruffians said, "Just go home and ask your sister-in-law." Then he burst out laughing.

No matter how honest the dynasty is, he also knows that he is taking advantage of himself in a corner, and when the ruffians open their mouths and laugh, the dynasty adds up their fists and feet, beating these boring people to cry and call their mothers, and they run away without a trace.

The dynasty was desperate, it seemed that there was no way, after thinking about it, he decided to go back to the county government to say goodbye to Li Chong, and rushed back to Yangzhou overnight while the sky was still dark.

As soon as the dynasty arrived near the yamen, he saw a group of people rushing to the county yamen, and hurriedly leaned over from his horse and grabbed one person's arm and asked, "This brother, is something wrong?" ”

The man couldn't break free from the arms of the dynasty, and said hurriedly: "You are really, I heard that a large group of forbidden troops came to the Yamen, all of them riding high-headed horses, and they were looking for Li County's order, and they were afraid that they were looking for Li County's bad luck, and everyone rushed to see it; Evil, how good a person Li County Ling is, he will also be unlucky! …… You let go, I'm going to take a look. ”

The dynasty was stunned, what is going on, the forbidden army came to find Li County's bad luck? At this time, which sect is the forbidden army? Tall horses?

Wang Chao slapped his head suddenly and shouted, "Gongzi is here!" "Hurriedly whipped the horse, and rampage forward through the cracks of the people, and the bluffing people could not dodge, and pointed at him one by one and yelled at him.

The dynasty didn't care about this, rode his horse and galloped, and soon arrived in front of the county office, only to see a large group of people surrounded by the gate of the county office, and some people shouted: "Master Guan, Li County Ling is a good person, you can't embarrass him......"

Wang Chao was probing his brain, and someone in front of the yamen shouted: "Brother Wang! Brother Wang! ”

The dynasty followed the prestige, it turned out to be Zhao Hu, the relationship between the dynasty and Zhao Hu was the most harmonious, Zhao Hu was in the capital to protect Xiao Sui'er and them, but I didn't expect to come back, Zhao Hu is here, then it must be the prince who came.

In the yamen, Su Jin looked straight at the yamen, and smacked his tongue: "Brother Zhaoting, you are quite popular, when you entered the city gate to ask for directions, I casually joked that I was looking for Li County to ask him to go to Beijing to ask for the crime, and so many people came to escort him in such a moment." ”

Li Zhong scratched his head and said, "Brother Su, you are making a big joke, isn't this bad for my reputation?" ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "The bell must be tied to the bell, it seems that I need to explain it." After that, he stepped out of the yamen and said loudly: "Folks, I am a friend of Li Xianling, I came to him to discuss important matters, but I didn't come to get him, it was just a joke, and the villagers should disperse quickly." ”

"Phew! The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, who believes your words, Lord Bao was transferred away after not staying here for a few years, and it was easy to come to a Li County Order, an authentic Qing official, and you want to take him again, I really don't know what the court thinks. ”

Su Jin had no choice but to ask Li Chong for help, Li Chong laughed and said: "It's no longer a problem, can you still make such jokes in the future?" ”

Su Jin said: "You are a clean official, if you are a corrupt official, the people are afraid that they will urge me to take you." ”

Li Chong was speechless for a moment, so he had to step forward and arch his hand: "Fellow villagers, this person is Master Su, the special envoy for grain affairs sent by the imperial court, do you remember the twenty carts of grain I brought back last time?" That's what Master Su sent to us Tianchang County for emergency relief, he and I are friends, it was indeed a joke just now, everyone disperse quickly, I still have important things to talk about with Master Su. ”

The people opened their mouths one by one, it turned out that this was the miraculous food envoy Su Daren, how could he joke like this, he had no dignity, and he didn't look like a stable person; But since Li Xianling has spoken, when there will be no fake, everyone's discussion gradually dispersed, and someone whispered: "This person is so young, he looks a few years younger than Li Xianling, how can he be an envoy, isn't Li Xianling also joking with us?" ”

"That's not going to happen, how can Li Xianling be as careless as him, joking indiscriminately, I really don't know how Li Xianling could make such a friend."

“……”

Li Chong looked at Su Jin with a wry smile, spread his hands and said, "It seems that your image in the eyes of the people of Tianchang is ruined." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "You can't live if you do your own evil, and if you destroy it in your own hands, it can be regarded as ruined." ”

The dynasty finally waited for the people to disperse, and then entered the yamen to see Su Jin, Su Jin asked a few words, and at this time it was time for the yamen to close, Li Chong instructed the officials to close the county yamen, and led everyone to the back hall.
