Chapter 2044 The Letter of the Lord of the City (1)

Master Yu is also a formidable character, facing Li Zhifu's provocation, he did not panic at all, but looked at Li Zhifu calmly as usual.

Master Yu said: "It's not a question of whether the official is willing or not, but that this matter is handed over to the official by the city lord's letter. If Li Zhifu also has this letter, I can hand over the work with you. How about it?" ? Does Li Zhifu have a letter from the city chief?”

After Lord Yu finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, the officials who came today knew that Li Zhifu wanted to make trouble for no reason, and then let Lord Yu drive him away, so they used the introduction of the monthly salary to make trouble.

Everyone knows the current situation of Qiguo. Although it is indeed inconvenient in many places that the monthly salary cannot be paid on time, what Qiguo needs now is officials who can share the joys and sorrows. do not like.

This delay in monthly salary is also due to the drought in the south of the Yangtze River and the snowstorm in the northwest after the war with the barbarians five years ago. The emperor is indeed a good emperor who cares about the country and the people. A lot of money, money and manpower have been spent to ensure that the people can spend the fastest time to recover and live normally, so the treasury is very empty.

However, due to the great efforts in disaster relief, only about a thousand people were lost, which can be said to be quite small in all dynasties. Therefore, the people are very grateful to the emperor, and the officials also admire the emperor.

Therefore, in recent years, the monthly salary has not been paid on time, and there has not been much trouble, and everyone has a count of the monthly salary, which basically will not exceed a whole year. Many people start to plan carefully after receiving the monthly salary. Last year was fine.

It’s rare to see a riot like this today. Even under the pressure of the Li family and the Zhu family, the emperor still cares about the people first, and the tax is reduced a lot, just to let the people have enough time Rest and recuperate.

Prefect Li didn't directly answer Mr. Yu's question at this moment, but was looking outside frequently. At this moment, there was a lot of noise outside. Many officials wearing official uniforms came down from the carriage and were walking towards the yamen.

Qinhui and Siyang could see clearly from behind, but both of them were very happy. Why, naturally, it was because there were more people in this group, and they probably got the news, because Lu Yuan came late.

There are nearly 100 people in this group. Basically, most of the various positions in the three yamen of the nearby magistrate, prefecture, and county are from around the sixth rank. There are more officials, and some are Jincheng Daying. There are military officers of several grades inside, but the generals and deputy generals from the Jincheng Camp did not come.

But among this group of people, there are only more than 40 people from Li Zhifu's line. After this group of people came in, they consciously stood behind Li Zhifu. Li Zhifu saw that there were more than 70 people behind him. smiling.

Li Zhifu saw that although other people were not standing behind him, but his eyes swept over the eyes of many officials who dared not look at him, Li Zhifu felt that he was amazing.

Li Zhifu finally looked directly at Master Yu provocatively and said: "Master Yu said about the handwriting. If I don't have Master Yu, I can't do it? And everyone knows that Lord Yu is unconscious now, and Master Yu has a handbook." This thing, doesn’t it mean that the Lord of the city still has the ability to predict the future?”

Master Yu said calmly: "I don't know if the Lord of the City has the ability to predict the future, and I don't want to inquire about such things, but I do have a letter from the Lord of the City, asking me to take care of the Jincheng Yamen temporarily. Power, this officer can show everyone the handwritten letter of Lord Chengshou, which has the seal of Jincheng on it, what we are arguing about now is not this matter, but the matter of monthly salary!"

An official from the Li Zhifu's side stood up and interrupted: "It's nice to say, about the monthly salary, Jincheng hasn't paid you a monthly salary for so long, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Talk about drinking the northwest wind to celebrate the New Year, right?"

Others started to find faults, "That is, we haven't paid a monthly salary for so long, is it possible that our family who are celebrating the Chinese New Year can't get through it?"

"That's right, Master Yu is now coming to the City Lord's Mansion, why is he more arrogant than our Lord Zhifu? is not it?"

As soon as this official flickered, some officials immediately followed up and said: "Master Yu, let us prefect preside over the work, no matter whether the handbook is true or false, the prefect always has greater rights and authority." is not it?"

"Your Majesty Yu wants to say a few words of justice. Some things cannot be overdone. We will meet again in Jincheng in the future. If this trouble makes everyone unhappy, how can we work together in the future?"

Li Zhifu's big blue, purple, red and swollen face is very happy to see everyone you say to me, and his eyes are even more disdainful to look at Mr. Yu, hey, it's hard to do it alone, let's see how you preside over the affairs of the Jincheng Yamen this time, in the end it's not I'm here to beg this officer, now let you be proud for a while.

At this moment, a guard beside Master Yu walked up to Master Yu, muttered a few words, Master Yu's eyes lit up, and then lowered his eyelids, letting the guard go down first.

Master Yu looked at the crowd and said: "Since everyone asked Li Zhifu to preside over the affairs of Jincheng Yamen, I only want to ask Li Zhifu one thing. Everyone questioned me from two aspects. I won’t say any more, the truth can’t be fake, and the fake can’t be true.”

"The second problem is everyone's monthly salary this year. I really don't have the financial resources to solve this problem for you. I'm going to put my words here today. If anyone has the ability to solve the monthly salary of Jincheng officials today Question, whoever is in charge of the Jincheng yamen, Li Zhifu doesn't know what your opinion is on this monthly salary issue, I heard that Li Zhifu's family property is quite rich, but it's a pity that my ancestors are from a scholarly family, it's a matter of money I can't help you at all, if Li Zhifu is willing to spend all his family's wealth on this matter, I believe the officials in Jincheng will thank you."

Li Zhifu was suddenly sent to the army. He looked at Master Yu with wide eyes and angrily and said in a loud voice: "Master Yu, what do you mean? Are you saying that the source of the official's family property is not correct or something? This official can tell you , I'm just a side branch of the Li family, and I don't have much money. Our family's property is the wife's dowry. You know who my wife is, and I can't make decisions about our family's money. You are completely harming me. The official can tell you that I don't have money to pay everyone a monthly salary."

Li Zhifu winked at the people behind, and immediately someone yelled: "No, we must pay a monthly salary today, otherwise how can we explain to our family when we go home? Since Mr. Yu wants to throw this trouble to Li Zhifu, he has already thought of it." If you don’t know the solution, otherwise you will be blatantly harming our prefect Li!"
