Datang Nongwang

Chapter 68 It Was My Family
Just as Li Chongyuan was following the master's theory, a carriage drove straight towards the county government from a distance.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the county government office, a slightly younger man jumped out of the carriage.

This person is Li Zhao, the magistrate of Hu County.

As soon as Li Zhao heard that his surname was Li, he knew that he was a relative of the Li clan, but his status was a bit remote, and he was the same as Li Chongyuan with the title of county male.

Li Zhao is just 28 years old this year, and he was dispatched to Hu County as the county magistrate, so he can be regarded as close to the water.

After all, being an official in Chi County or Ji County, promotion is also fast and convenient.

Who made him a clan member of the Li family?

A guard trotted over quickly, and said cautiously: "Magistrate Li is back, Master Cui is arguing with Xiannan Li inside, County Magistrate Li, hurry up and take a look."

Hearing this, Li Zhao frowned a little puzzled.

The Li County man the guard mentioned really made him unable to remember who it was.

In Chang'an City, there are not just one or two people who have been named county men, but several people.

There are so many descendants of Li's clan, and besides him, there is currently no Li Xiannan who can go to Hu County.

Immediately, Li Zhao looked at the guard and asked, "What are they arguing about?"

"Going back to the county magistrate, it seems that Mr. Li wanted to buy that piece of wasteland in Lizhuang. Mr. Cui said he would sell it for three pennies per acre, and Mr. Li was not happy. That's why he had a quarrel with Mr. Cui."

Following the guard's words, Li Zhao remembered who Li Zhuang belonged to.

"So it was him, why did he come to Lizhuang?" Li Zhao thought of Li Chongji first, and then Li Chongyuan last.

Thoughtful in his heart, Li Zhao gestured to a follower beside him, then raised his legs and walked towards the county government office.

At this time, at the gate of the third hall of the county government, Li Chongyuan was continuing to argue with Chief Cui.

Although there are no good results so far, Li Chongyuan is very willing to argue with the little master in front of him.

The more theoretical, the more enthusiastic Li Chongyuan is.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan was pointing at the Chief Cui and cursing: "You son of a bitch, even a small master, dares to fill your own pocket. If you can sell it for three pennies, it means that you have been greedy before. Let me tell you." You, tomorrow I will go to Yushitai to sue you."

What Li Chongyuan seized was his position as chief bookkeeper.

As the head of a county, he is in charge of many things.

Si Cang, taxation and so on, he is in charge of everything.

Although the county magistrate also has its powers, the county magistrate generally doesn't take care of these trivial matters, but is in charge of it by the master.

Of course, things like the judiciary are generally dealt with by the county lieutenant. After all, there are two county lieutenants in Hu County.

At this time, Master Cui was dumbfounded by Li Chongyuan pointing at his nose and cursing, and angrily wanted to curse back, but he watched Li Zhao walk in.

With the arrival of Li Zhao, Master Cui did not dare to say any more.

If a small chief bookkeeper on the ninth rank scolded Li Chongyuan in front of Li Zhao, the county magistrate on the sixth rank, it is estimated that his chief bookkeeper should have done well.

Li Chongyuan and Li Zhao are both heirs of the Li clan, if he dares to scold Li Chongyuan at this time, maybe Li Zhao will accuse him of being disrespectful to the Li clan.

As for Li Zhao, the county magistrate, he could submit a letter to the Ministry of Officials, and he would be dismissed from his position as chief secretary in less than a day or two.

Li Zhao approached Li Chongyuan, who was still ignorant, and was about to pat Li Chongyuan on the shoulder, but Dadu stood up and stopped him.

"What do you want!" Dadu didn't recognize Li Zhao in front of him.

As Li Chongyuan's bodyguard, whenever Li Chongyuan was attacked by outsiders, he would definitely stand up.

Li Chongyuan turned his head after hearing the sound, only to see a smiling face.

Taking a closer look, Li Chongyuan realized that the smiling face belonged to his family members, and he immediately bowed his hands and said, "How is my cousin?"

Dadu saw that Li Chongyuan called the person in front of him his cousin, and also knew that this person was a relative of his little man, so he quickly stepped aside.

Li Zhao was not angry and blocked him, he took a few steps forward, patted Li Chongyuan on the shoulder and said, "You little guy, why did you come to my county office?"

Although Li Chongyuan was not very familiar with Li Zhao, but he had spoken to him before, and had dealt with Li Zhao several times in front of his elder brother.

"Oh, cousin, you don't know. I wanted to buy those wastelands near Niu Shou Mountain, but the head of the county government blocked you in every possible way, and even offered three prices. He just thought I was young. You are deceiving me that no one in the Li family dares to talk to me like this, and I am arguing with him." Li Chongyuan said with a smile.

"Master Cui, what's the matter?" Although Li Zhao didn't care much, seeing that his family members were being bullied by his subordinates, he naturally wanted to ask.

Master Cui bowed, cupped his hands cautiously and said: "Back to County Magistrate Li, Mr. Li County is just messing around. The wasteland was originally sold for three pennies. When he came, he said that I was pocketed. The officer is a little scared."

After Li Zhao heard the words, he didn't ask any more questions, and said to Chief Cui: "You go and do your work first, I will talk to Mr. Li Xian."

Seeing that Li Zhao said so, Master Cui had to return to his three halls.

At this moment, Li Zhao gestured to Li Chongyuan, then walked towards the back of the Ming Hall, and then arrived at the yard behind the county government office.

"Chong Yuan, don't make trouble. Master Cui is not my person, but the Fang Xiang. If you make such a fuss, he will definitely report to the Fang Xiang. At that time, even I will not be able to protect him." You." After arriving in the backyard, Li Zhao invited Li Chongyuan to sit down and served some tea before he spoke.

"Fang Xiang! Hmph, when I have the ability, I have to get him to Yazhou. If it weren't for him, how could my father die in Yizhou!" Li Chongyuan heard that Master Cui was Fang Xiang. People, the heart is even more hateful.

A child without a father's protection is poor.

Not only Li Chongyuan.

The four brothers and one daughter of the Li family are basically like this.

It's all right for the crown prince to bully his family, and some other people don't give his family any good looks.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhao hurriedly stopped him and said: "Chong Yuan, it's fine for you to talk about it in front of me, but don't talk nonsense anymore, it's not like you don't know who the Prime Minister is, he is a close minister of the current emperor, The Holy Majesty relies so much on him, when will you get rid of your unrestrained speech."

"Hey, I just said it in front of you. But, cousin, do you know about the wasteland that Master Cui said?" Li Chongyuan laughed, and then switched to talking about the wasteland.

Li Chongyuan had originally come for the wasteland, if it wasn't for Chief Cui's obstruction, maybe the land deed would have already been in his hands, and he wouldn't be wasting his time here.

"Wasteland? What do you want to buy the wasteland for? Doesn't Li Zhuang belong to your elder brother? Could it be that you are interested in that wasteland?" Li Zhao was puzzled.

Li Zhao really didn't know what the price was for that piece of wasteland, but he became curious about Li Chongyuan's purchase of the wasteland.
