An hour later.

Qin Huaidao quietly left from the back gate of the county government in a carriage and came to the open space opposite the monument.

At the scene, many craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry were measuring the land and recording something, Luo Zhang led people to communicate with everyone, and when he saw Qin Huaidao coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Uncle, why are you here, is there something wrong?" ”

"How about coming and seeing?" Qin Huaidao looked at the busy crowd in front of him and asked.

Luo Zhang explained: "The progress is quite smooth, today the area is measured, tomorrow dig the ground to build the ancestral hall, the inscription has been carved by someone, the biggest difficulty at present is the shape of the traitor, the Ministry of Industry organizes people to paint portraits, but the painter does not know much about the traitor, and needs to inquire and draw slowly." ”

"Don't be in a hurry for the next two days, you must paint like it, don't paint it like someone else, the content of the carved inscription must be detailed, and the bad deeds of every traitor will be recorded, what about the list of traitors?"

"The people from the Ministry of Industry said that they would submit the list we provided, and the saint did not object."

"That's good, keep an eye on it." Qin Huaidao said and looked around.

Luo Zhang agreed, looked around, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Uncle is rectifying the gang?" Someone came up to tempt me just now, looking at the meaning, it should be trying to bribe, hoping that Uncle raised his noble hand, and I pretended to be stupid and stunned, and the lake was over, but it is estimated that someone will come to the door. ”

"No, it's coming." Qin Huaidao looked in one direction, and a carriage came slowly.

"The Son of Heaven drives six, the princes drive five, and the five horse-drawn carriages, it should be the King of Jin, what is he here for? Wouldn't it be a plea? Luo Zhang said in a low voice.

"It's very likely, let's take a look first, don't talk nonsense." Qin Huaidao explained in a low voice.

Not long after, King Jin's carriage came forward to stop, and Li Zhi jumped out of the carriage and signaled the guards not to follow, and stepped forward alone.

Qin Huaidao is also a prince now, although he is not as good as the king of Jin, but the status is not much different, there is no need to take the initiative to salute, the king of Jin is preoccupied, and he doesn't care about etiquette, he stepped forward and said: "Brother-in-law, maybe talk alone?" ”

Commensurate with a brother-in-law, it is naturally a private matter.

Luo Zhang saw that Qin Huaidao had no objection and left with interest.

Waiting for Luo Zhang to go farther, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, come uninvited, please bear with me, I am really forced to be helpless, I want to ask my brother-in-law for a favor, is it noncommittal?" ”

"Let's hear it first." Qin Huaidao did not agree on the spot.

Li Zhi didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Let my brother-in-law laugh, the martial arts suddenly came to the door and wanted to ask my brother-in-law to put a bamboo pole to help a horse, and he was willing to pay half of the proceeds to filial piety." ”

"Bamboo pole gang, what's it?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, as for Li Zhi and Wucai people getting together, it was not surprising that Wucai people came forward with Li Zhi.

"It's a group of people who beg for a living on the Bahe River, using bamboo poles to take rafts and help people transport goods for a living, so they got such a name, life is hard haha, it's not easy, you see?"

Qin Huaidao stared at Li Zhi, unabashedly teasing and mocking in his heart, the dignified prince actually got together with his father's concubine, this is also forgotten, why do you say that the Bamboo Pole Gang is a group of bitter people, have you investigated? No problem will come to the door for care?

I'm afraid I'm fooled and stupid, right?

Li Zhi was a little weak by Qin Huaidao's heart, and couldn't help asking, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" ”

"Forget about filial piety to silver, I will earn it myself if I need silver, I don't need others to be filial, as long as the bamboo pole gang does not oppress the people and violate the law, it will naturally not be embarrassed, but if you violate the law and oppress the good, as the king of Jin, your reputation cannot be damaged." Qin Huaidao reminded.

King Jin's face froze, and he stopped talking.

Qin Huaidao knew that this bamboo pole gang was probably not simple as soon as he looked at his expression, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense, waved his hand and said: "For the sake of Yuzhang, I will give you a piece of advice, if there is a problem, hurry up and deal with the aftermath, don't catch fire, otherwise, I'm afraid that your position as the king of Jin will not be guaranteed." ”

"That's not it, brother-in-law misunderstood, the bamboo pole gang has nothing to do with me......

Qin Huaidao interrupted: "But if you come forward to intercede, there is involvement, can you guarantee that the bamboo pole gang is fine?" ”

"This ......"

"Go back, Wucai is your father's woman, but he came to you to intercede, do you understand the calculations?"

"What do you mean?" Li Zhi suddenly became alert.

Qin Huaidao saw that his expression was dazed and shocked, as if he knew, since the martial talent people calculated on his head, of course he couldn't sit still, so he reminded: "It means that if you come, this matter is related to you, and refusing is equivalent to slapping you in the face, the hatred between the two of us will deepen, and you and the martial talent people will go closer; If you don't come, the news that the martial artists have found you will also leak out, and your father will inevitably be angry and beat the martial artists into the cold palace, you will be angry, feel that you are just kind, and there is no fault, and you feel guilty about the martial talents, and what the martial talents want is your guilt, which will be of great use in the future, so if you don't come to find it, the martial artists will calculate you to death. ”

"Can't you? The martial artist looks gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable, and he is the person next to his father's pillow, so it is not easy to refuse to come to the door, how can he be so calculating? ”

"If you need to intercede, you can go directly to your father, why do you look for you?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"Maybe I don't think it's a big deal, and I don't want to alarm my father."

Qin Huaidao can see it, this guy is just a licking dog, all kinds of unreasonable can make up for it by himself, and he can't help it, so he immediately said: "Since you want to jump into the fire pit, then jump, don't bother me, the matter of the bamboo pole gang will be dealt with according to law, and no one can intercede." ”

"You ......" Li Zhi suddenly felt embarrassed.

Qin Huaidao sneered: "Look, don't you feel faceless and hold a grudge against me?" ”

Li Zhi thought of Qin Huaidao's reminder just now, and his face suddenly stiffened--is there really a calculation? It shouldn't be, that weak woman knows the depths, knows the general situation, knows how to advance and retreat, how can she calculate? It's just that it's not easy to watch the bamboo pole help haha, and it's just kind to intercede.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi continued: "If you don't want to help, forget it, when I haven't come." ”

"You said you haven't been here, you haven't been here?"

Qin Huaidao sneered: "Your father has not arranged for the internal guards to keep an eye around me, and he has mastered every move, I am afraid that the news has already entered the palace at this time, waiting for your father to ask, tsk, the son is obsessed with his father's concubine, I don't know how many people died of laughter?" ”

Martial arts people dare to use Li Zhi to calculate, Qin Huaidao doesn't mind using Li Er to calculate the other party.

"You?" Li Zhi panicked, his face changed drastically when he thought of some kind of consequence, and he hurried away.

"If you want to live, take the initiative to find your father and the emperor, and cut off ties with women." Qin Huaidao shouted, that woman dares to calculate herself, of course she can't get used to it?

"What's going on?" Luo Zhang came over and asked in a low voice.

"I can handle the little things, I'll leave it to you." Qin Huaidao said and got into the carriage.

The carriage left slowly, Luo Wu led people to guard the surroundings, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, where are you going?" ”

"Liang Guogong Mansion!"

"Understood."

Luo Wu agreed, signaling the carriage to speed up.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of the Liang Guogong Mansion, Luo Wu went up to report the door, the door heard that Qin Huaidao was coming, and hurriedly went in to report, not long after the side door opened, the housekeeper trotted out, and said to the carriage: "The little Liang Guogong Mansion housekeeper greets the King of Han, and my master is waiting in the study." ”

"Lead the way."

The carriage continued to move forward, entered directly from the side door, and stopped through a garden, Qin Huaidao motioned for everyone to stay, followed the housekeeper and walked forward for a distance, and came to the door of an attic, the door was open, and Fang Yiai came out from inside: "Brother Qin is here, quickly, please inside." He waved his hand to signal the butler to leave.

When he entered the house, he saw Fang Xuanling sitting by the charcoal fire reading a book, and Qin Huaidao held a junior salute: "I've seen Uncle Fang." ”

"Here, sit down." Fang Xuanling saw that Qin Huaidao was holding the junior ceremony, so he didn't get up, he accepted it calmly, and made an invitation, his heart was full of relief.

Don't forget the old feelings because of the change of status, you can deal with it!

Qin Huaidao was not polite, and after sitting down, he said, "Uncle Fang, I came this time to let Fang Yiai make a move." ”

"Did something happen? Tell me about it? Fang Xuanling asked.

Fang Yiai couldn't wait to say: "Old man, you talk a lot, don't worry about anything, since Brother Qin has spoken, then it will be the same." ”

"Bastard, shut up the old man." Fang Xuanling scolded angrily.
