Is this mother-in-law crazy, where is it not good to choose, but choose here. Li Qi hurriedly closed the door, sat back down, and said, "Miss Zhao, your status is noble, you can't live here." ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "I don't want to either, but it is precisely because of my special identity that I chose here." Originally, you didn't come, and no one knew me here, so I could move freely, but when you came, I couldn't do it like I used to. ”
"What are you afraid of, I won't say."
"You can guarantee that none of the people you brought with you know me, and you can guarantee that they won't tell me about it?"
"Well, you'd better stay here."
Zhao Jingyan gave him a roll of the eyes, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about business." ”
yes, I almost forgot about business. Li Qi hurriedly said: "Then tell me what you know!" ”
Zhao Jingyan smiled bitterly: "Presumably, I have already told you everything I know today." ”
"What? Could it be that you've been here for so long, just-just inquired about such a little news? Li Qi couldn't believe it.
Zhao Jingyan said: "Since you all know, I have always stayed here, where can you let me find news for you." ”
"That's just as well." Li Qi nodded, there was an indescribable disappointment in his heart, maybe Zhao Jingyan had brought him too much useful information in the past, so that he had developed this bad habit.
Zhao Jingyan smiled: "Are you disappointed?" ”
Li Qi nodded, "Somewhat bit, but you're here for me good enough news, and I need a strategist to come up with ideas for me right now." ”
Zhao Jingyan shook her head and said, "No matter what you say, when I should leave, I won't stay for a moment." Besides, haven't you already made up your mind? ”
This mother-in-law really doesn't eat oil and salt, and she is too unrighteous. Li Qi was stunned and said, "What made up your mind?" ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "Didn't you already order someone to find Qin Hui?" ”
Li Qi was surprised: "You-how did you know?" ”
"I'll see it myself." Zhao Jingyan pointed to her eyes and said, "This afternoon, I happened to see a forbidden army on the side of the road eight hundred miles out of Linyou County. You either tell him to go to the capital, or you tell him to go to Jiangnan to find Qin Hui, judging from the route he walks, it will definitely not be to the capital. ”
Li Qi said: "It's just your guess, what am I doing with Qin Hui?" ”
Zhao Jingyan smiled: "The matter has come to this, you still want to hide it from me." 100,000 stone disaster relief grain turned into 20,000 stone, obviously someone moved from it, although the imperial court was from all over the country to transport grain to Fengxiang, but, the main thing is from Huainan granary, Huainan granary transported a total of 60,000 stone grain, and Fengxiang only received 20,000 stones, that is to say, no matter what, Huainan granary must have a cat greasy, and at this time Qin Hui is leading people to go down to Jiangnan to sweep away corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and anyone will take advantage of this wind to find out this matter casually. ”
"Awesome." Li Qi sighed helplessly and said, "What you said is right. But. At this, he shook his head in annoyance.
Zhao Jingyan smiled: "But that's just a little minions, the real mastermind behind the scenes, you can't do anything, I don't know if I'm wrong?" ”
What kind of energy, if you have the ability to break the "seal" on your chest, I think you can still be so powerful. Li Qi secretly despised himself, pouted and said, "You are so smart, how can you say something wrong." To tell you the truth, I'm just having a headache for this, if only one or two thousand stones are missing, it's just that, anyway, this kind of thing is not uncommon, along the way, every time I go to a place, the local officials must reach out and catch a handful, but this time there are 80,000 stones missing, the most important thing is that the three consecutive three songs of the Ji Governor's Mansion are sunk into the sea, obviously, this matter must involve a certain person in the DPRK, or even several ministers, and the official position will never be small. ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "So you start with a small investigation, and then see if you should continue to investigate according to the situation?" ”
Li Qi nodded and said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, what else?" In fact, whether you can kill chickens and make an example of monkeys is still a question. ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "But if it is true as you say, what will you do?" ”
"What do you think I'll do then?" Richie asked rhetorically without answering.
Zhao Jingyan pondered for a moment and said, "I think you will start from the overall situation, with your xing character, you shouldn't be so impulsive." ”
"And what would you do if you were me?"
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's the same as you, because once you find out about those people's heads, I'm afraid you will be in a dilemma." But if you turn a blind eye, what difference is there between you and them? ”
"Didn't you always ask me to rule jiān with jiān?"
"But you're shielding them now."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, there is no difference between me and them, everyone is human, except for Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan." Other than that, we just have different values. The so-called bad guys, like men and women, are a kind of objective existence, which cannot be chased and killed, and corrupt officials are just one of the bad guys. Even if I kill all the corrupt officials this time, it won't be long before they pop up like bamboo shoots again. ”
Speaking of this, he shook his head again and said: "In fact, strictly speaking, there is no distinction between good people and bad people in this world, because bad people and good people are a kind of subjective judgment of people, which are distinguished according to the moral concepts formulated by people themselves. It can be said that the bad guy is the kind of person who starts from his own interests no matter what happens, just like those landlords who have fled, and the good guy is like the filial son you just said, when he encounters something, he will consider the interests of others first. When the latter looks at the former with his values, the former is undoubtedly the bad guy and vice versa. There is a way that a thousand bones are withered, and what king does not have thousands of bones under his feet, and the people who die because of them are far better than those who die in this famine, are they bad people? It depends on who it is, for their enemies, it is undoubtedly a big bad person, but for those who are prosperous because of him, it is undoubtedly a big good person, so I don't like to judge a person or a whole group of people with good or bad, loyalty, good or evil, because that will let another subjectivity override your subjectivity, which will make your judgment inaccurate, it is undeniable that I often knowingly commit crimes, and when I see some child abductors, I also want to kill him with a knife. ”
Zhao Jingyan groaned for a while, and suddenly asked, "Then what do you like to use to judge others?" ”
"Friend or foe."
Li Qi smiled: "Anyone who violates my interests is my enemy, and whoever is beneficial to me is my friend." ”
"It also seems to be an extremely selfish judgment."
"Any subjective judgment is extremely selfish." "But this selfishness is by no means ironic or derogatory. If I have the people of the world in my heart, then the people of the world are my interests, and if anyone harms them, it is against my interests, and naturally they are my enemies, and since they are enemies, I will definitely try my best to defeat them. If fame and fortune are my interests, then anyone who harms my interests is my enemy, even the people of the world. If I am judged from a moral point of view, then I must be a great evil, but if I am the former, then the result will prove that I am a good person, is not very contradictory. ”
Zhao Jingyan nodded slightly and said, "Although I don't completely agree with your concept, what you said seems to have some truth, if you care too much about good and evil, then you will undoubtedly bind yourself to a narrow range, which is not a good thing." Take some loyal ministers in ancient times, in order to protect their reputation, they would rather die than lose their integrity, and they refused to back down even a little, which is indeed worthy of admiration. But if you judge it in your way, it is an extremely stupid approach, loyal ministers are naturally people who have the people of the world in their hearts, then the people are their interests, if their death will bring benefits to the people, then it is fine, but usually, they are a death to show their innocence, but the interests of the people are harmed, and they have lost a good official, then their death is a kind of selfish expression that puts their own name and principles above the people, no matter which way they are judged, They all made the wrong choice. Only by living can we safeguard the interests in our hearts, and we can keep in mind the interests in our hearts, and put them at the top, regardless of the loss of our so-called reputation, even if we do not hesitate to lose our so-called reputation, this is what a loyal minister should do. ”
"You can draw inferences from each other, and your children can be taught." Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, I don't like to tell others about my concept, because I am afraid that it will affect the judgment of others, or it will promote a few friends, but it may also create more enemies, but I think you and I think the way of thinking is very similar, so I told you, and it will not affect you anyway." ”
Zhao Jingyan shook her head with a smile, and said curiously: "Then do you belong to the former or the latter?" ”
Li Qi said: "Of course it's the former, the people of the world, or the interests of my Great Song Dynasty are the interests in my heart, I don't mean to say how great I am, it's all ethereal, this person prefers real things, such as gold and silver treasures, I'm just stating a fact, so I didn't say that I wouldn't pursue this matter from beginning to end." ”
This was unexpected by Zhao Jingyan, and said, "If you find out about some people, what will you do?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "I just checked, I didn't say I wanted to do it, there is still a distance between investigation and handling." As I said earlier, since I have sat in this position, then the people are the interests of my heart, even if it is in business, only if there are more wealthy people, more people will come to buy my goods, so the first thing I want to do is naturally to protect my own interests, then the first thing I want to do is naturally to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of Fengxiang, which is the top priority and beyond reproach. As for those who have hurt my interests, they have already hurt them, and even if you kill them, things will not change, and in this matter alone, it may only be a glimmer of pleasure. I thought that the best thing to do was to prevent them from harming my interests again, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, undoubtedly the best choice, so if I could kill, of course I would kill, but if I couldn't, I wouldn't fight with my life, because once I lost, then it would never be a good thing for the people of Fengxiang, so I wouldn't be too forceful, I would just try my best to prevent similar things from happening again. ”
Zhao Jingyan nodded and said, "Since you have thought clearly, what are you still worried about?" ”
"Please, I just understand what I want in my heart, but I'm still at a loss for the details and process, otherwise what I'm doing here on the runway in the middle of the night, and you won't give me a warm quilt - it's just a joke, don't be cheap, oh no, don't take cheap, get down to business."
Li Qi saw that Zhao Jingyan put down the sword, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I will definitely investigate this matter to the end, because if you don't know who the enemy is, then you don't know where to start talking about prevention." But the problem is how to check, I think you also know my current situation, the people below are looking at me, there are people staring at me above, there are people watching me below, the emperor is also waiting for me over there, I am really embattled, I want to hide from everyone, first figure things out, and then think about the solution, it is really difficult to go to the sky. But if the truth is exposed too early, then the people will chase me in my ear and shout to punish those corrupt officials, and those corrupt officials will definitely find me desperately in order to protect themselves, even the emperor may feel dilemma and wavering, and then I can only passively find a way to solve it according to the situation, in that case, I can't die even if I die, this is the saddest ending for officials. Now you know why I'm distressed, right? If you make one wrong step, you will make a wrong move. ”
Zhao Jingyan smiled bitterly: "What you said is very reasonable, this matter is related to the Folding Family, the emperor will definitely attach great importance to it, this is not just a matter of hurting their interests, but directly endangering their lives. ”
Li Qi said bluntly: "I don't want to die yet, and I can't die either." ”
"Who wants to die? Who can die? ”
"Is that what is scary, now you know, hurry up and help me find a way."
"You're smarter than me, you can't even think of it, how could I think of it."
"I absolutely agree with this, but one person counts short, and two counts long, so I'll beg you."
No matter how Zhao Jingyan listened, she felt that this was weird, and said: "A good sentence, how can it taste bad as soon as it comes to your mouth." ”
Li Qi sneered: "Am I the king of the golden knife chef, I like to change the taste back and forth." ”
Does that make sense? Zhao Jingyan was speechless, frowning and groaning.
Li Qi also thought about it, in fact, he still values Zhao Jingyan's opinion very much, because Zhao Jingyan can't help but be a smart person, and he is also an authentic Song person, so Zhao Jingyan can take into account many aspects that he may have neglected, and the more commendable Zhao Jingyan is still an undoubted beauty, isn't the male and female partner tired of working, if he is a drunkard sitting opposite, then where does Li Qi have any thoughts, just take care of the disgusting.
After a while, Zhao Jingyan suddenly said: "I thought it was too difficult to hide from the world. ”
cāo! You've been thinking about it for so long, and you've come up with such a nonsense? Li Qi said depressedly: "It's not difficult for me to use it, can you please help me think about it?" ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "But you can do the opposite!" ”
"The opposite?" Li Qi was surprised.
Zhao Jingyan said: "Not bad. When things are still confusing, they will poke this thing out first. ”
"It's easy for you to say, if the emperor knows that 100,000 will change to 20,000, he will definitely be furious, and at that time, I will really be able to ride a tiger." Richie didn't have a good airway.
Zhao Jingyan said with a smile: "Of course you can't let the emperor know." Presumably you also understand that there are only a few people who can have such power, now they are in the dark, you are in the light, maybe they are waiting for your response, and then the driver moves, if you first spread this matter to the capital, the situation will be reversed, you can turn from light to dark, and act at the opportunity. ”
There's a bit of truth to what this shemale said. Li Qi said: "But how can I tell them about this, if I get the wrong person, they will definitely use this opportunity to deal with their enemies, and then I will become a butcher's knife in their hands." ”
Zhao Jingyan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the people who can sit in their seats are by no means reckless, even if this matter has nothing to do with them, they will definitely investigate, so they will not tell the emperor for a while." And there is a person who can help you, and with his help, you can be sure that nothing goes wrong. ”
Li Qi frowned and said, "Master Cai? ”
"Not bad. When this happened, Taishi was still at home, and he could be excluded, and after Wang Huang Zhishi, Taishi had already cleared out the people who should be cleared, and there were not many people who could really threaten his status, so after he learned the news, he would definitely judge the situation and test those who might be involved in this matter first, and then decide, the most important thing is that Taishi still has to rely on you now, so he will act in a concern for your safety, help him explore the way, and then give you a good advice. ”
Li Qi groaned for a while, and said: "Your method may really work, since I can't think of a way to hide it, I just leave it to them to deal with it themselves, this extremely irresponsible approach, I like it." Okay, that's it, you can help me write a letter to the master. ”
"Do you want me to help you too?"
"This is a must, it's not like you haven't seen my words, in case the Taishi reads it wrong, or I write it wrong, it may be self-defeating, resulting in quite bad results, and the less people know about it, the better, you can do it well, and send the Buddha to the west."
Zhao Jingyan let out a depressed sigh and said, "Okay." When I owe you, I'll write for you. As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper, and suddenly asked: "By the way, I said earlier that the food and clothing of the people of Fengxiang is the top priority, what are you going to do about this?" ”
Li Qi said with a smile: "Let's see how much we can get from private fundraising, and the rest will naturally be asked for by the third division." ”
"Will the three divisions approve it?"
"I don't need you to remind me, I know that Sansi is indeed very poor now, but this matter is in their hands, I don't look for them, who are I looking for?"
"It's hard for me to see."
"Actually, it's not difficult, don't you have any money, don't you just borrow it, everyone is mixed up like this."
"Who do you want to borrow?"
"Me! Oh no, the ordnance supervisor, if you don't want to hurry up, I'll give a discount, nine out of eleven, anyway, it's the emperor's money, they dare not pay it back if they borrow it. ”
Zhao Jingyan was immediately stunned, the person who dared to let the third division borrow money was probably Li Qi, and said with a wry smile: "I can be regarded as convincing you, I can figure out this method, a businessman being an official is really more troublesome than a wicked being an official!" ”
Huaiyin County.
At this time, the county government is solemn, Qin Hui is in the upper position, and there are more than 20 officials sitting on the left and right sides of the bottom, as big as the governor of Chuzhou, as small as the county lord of Huaiyin, all with strange faces, you look at me, I look at you.
Behind them, there were two rows of soldiers with grim expressions, all armed with large knives, looking really intimidating.
The man on the left suddenly said, "Inspector, how long do you plan to make us wait?" ”
This person's name is Ye Tiannan, and he is the governor of Chuzhou.
Qin Hui took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile: "Wait, it should be soon." ”
Ye Tiannan said: "You already said this before. ”
Qin Hui frowned and said, "Ye Zhizhou, are you very busy?" ”
"I believe that no governor in the country can sit here all day long and watch the inspectors drink tea."
Qin Hui smiled and said, "I'm busier than you, I'm not only busy, I'm also anxious, so I invited you here, because I want to solve this matter earlier than you, I don't want to have someone come to your house to find you." ”
"What, please? It's clear that they lied to me and waited. Ye Tiannan muttered in a low voice.
Qin Hui's ears were sharp, and he listened to it sincerely, but he didn't care, glanced at everyone, and said: "I know everyone is very busy, but there is no way, I am here by the emperor's order, my business is the biggest, for you, even more so, if you have any opinions about me Qin, after this matter is over, you can play the emperor, now, please sit here and be restless." ”
"Where, where, the inspector is serious."
"It's, it's, we'll wait, we'll wait."
As soon as those officials heard the emperor's order, they hurried to curry favor with Qin Hui.
Ye Tiannan was a little impatient, got up and said, "I'll go to the thatched house." ”
"Absolutely." Qin Hui stretched out his hand towards the soldier behind Ye Tiannan and said, "Send Ye Zhizhou to the thatched house." ”
"Yes."
Ye Tiannan glared at Qin Hui angrily, but Qin Hui didn't bird him, and after he was bored, his sleeve robe was shocked, and he sat back again.
At this moment, a soldier rushed in, clenched his fists and said, "Tell the inspector, General Han is back." ”
"Oh? Hurry up and please. ”
After a while, a general in armor walked in, but he saw that this person was dark-skinned, burly, dignified, and not angry. This person is the famous general who is as famous as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong. Behind him were a man with a fat face and an ugly appearance.
Some of the people in the room had shocked expressions on their faces when they saw this man.
"Get on your knees."
Qin Hui got up to greet him and arched his hand: "General Han has worked hard. ”
Han Shizhong cupped his fists and saluted back, and said, "Where, where, the inspector is serious, but in fact, there is no hard work at all." As he spoke, he pointed his hand to the man, and said: "This person is the leader of the group of grass robbers, named Wan Sandao, gathered more than 300 people, specially robbed the merchants of the Huai River and the canal, originally hidden in the south of the Huai River, but when I led the army to rush there, they had already run away, and then I tracked them for two days in a row, only to find them in the mountains and forests fifty miles south of the county, and captured them at dawn this morning. ”
Qin Hui asked, "Is there any damage to our army?" ”
Han Shizhong said disdainfully: "Just these grass cowards, our army is still only a few arrows, and they surrendered, but there are a few slightly injured, and they are not in the way." ”
"That's good, that's good. General Han, please take a seat. ”
Qin Hui immediately returned to his seat, knocked on the startled wood, slammed it, and said: "Dare to do evil and rob other people's property under this bright and clear world, and don't invite it from the truth." ”
Wan San's head was biased, and he said: "I have nothing to say, if you want to kill or scrape, listen to it." ”
Qin Hui sneered: "Okay! Although he is a thief, he is quite heroic, which is very good. Then don't blame the official for being ruthless. Come on, put on the torture instrument. ”
Wan Sandao is really a man, he is not afraid at all, and he also poses well to facilitate their torture.
When Qin Hui saw it, he couldn't help frowning, and said secretly, this guy is really cunning, he must have noticed it, in fact, I want to force him to confess who the mastermind is, if he doesn't say it, then I may not kill him prematurely, and he doesn't know that the imperial court is determined to rectify the Jiangnan officialdom in order to regain the trust of the people in Jiangnan, and has given me the power of life and death, he must still think that even if I want to kill him, I have to report to the criminal department, and it will take at least a month to carry out the execution, as long as he doesn't die, once I leave, then someone will save him, If he confesses, then there will be no one to protect him, and if I were him, I would not say, the more it drags on, the better it will be for him, and not for me, which is really difficult. After a half-mutter, he suddenly thought about it and whispered a few words to the guards beside him.
When the guard heard this, his face was shocked.
Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "Don't go yet." ”
"Yes."
The guard immediately headed outside.
After the man left, Qin Hui patted his head and said, "Ouch, I almost forgot about it, when I came, the economic envoy instructed me not to abuse lynching and torture into a trick, and I should strictly obey the order of the economic envoy." ”
This- what does this mean? The crowd was puzzled by what they heard.
Wan Sandao couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he heard it, and asked who wanted to be punished.
Qin Hui glanced at them and continued: "You may not know that Gao Taiwei's youngest son, Gao Yanei, this person is benevolent and righteous, known as Gao Qingtian, although he is Yanei, he is also a great good person. In order to prevent the criminals from suffering from the flesh and skin, at the beginning of last year, he specially created a new punishment, which will not make the prisoners feel pain, but will also allow the prisoners to spend it in pleasure, but because this punishment has not yet been included in the law, so you do not know that this time the court knows that my task is arduous, and authorized me to use this punishment. Come on, bring up the instruments of torture. (To be continued.) )
