A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 283 Well, this is called professionalism

Li Yong, Li Hou's third son, was born to Li Hou's concubine and had never been favored by Li Hou. Therefore, when many core members of the Li family entered the county to enjoy life, Li Yong was unsurprisingly Stay in Zaoqiang and be responsible for all Li's affairs in Zaoqiang.

But he said he was responsible for everything, but in fact he was just a mascot. When something happened, he would listen to the report, and when nothing happened, he would wander around.

Because he had no right to use the powerful Li family, hundreds of soldiers and horses in Zaoqiang County were in the hands of county captain Li Chang, who was Li Yong's clan uncle.

The person who manages thousands of acres of land owned by the Li family in Zaoqiang is Li Ji, Li Yong's cousin.

The person in charge of Li's property, shops, and grain stores, as well as the county's sundries, is Zhang Ye, who is Li Yong's third uncle. Therefore, Li Yong was idle all day long, either entertaining his friends in Xianju Tower and accepting their bragging, or going to Wenxiang Tower to take care of the lives of those girls.

As for Li Yong's fifth aunt, I heard that she was born in Wenxianglou, so I could be repaying her kindness to her.

But this is all for outsiders. According to Liu Shi's information, Li Yong decides all matters big and small in Zaoqiang, and Li Yong is Zaoqiang's "county magistrate".

While Li Yong was having a banquet with his friends in Xianju Tower, a follower from a small family in the county who was attached to Li's family flattered Li Yong and said:
"Sir, do you know that an interesting event happened in the county recently?"

Li Yong was happily holding his little girl in his arms. When he heard what he said, he wondered, "Oh? Big thing? Is there any big thing in Zaoqiang County that I, Li Yong, don't know about? Tell me."

"Young master, I don't know. The county magistrate has been replaced. I heard that he has a very bad temper. Not long after he took office, he kicked out the county government cook, saying that his cooking was unpalatable, and then found a widow to be the cook. .

What do you think the new county magistrate wants to do? I have also eaten the food cooked by the cook of this county government, and it is not that bad. Although it is far inferior to Chef Zhang, it does not taste like pig food. "

Li Yong laughed loudly and said: "You are really stupid. What's so strange about this? He's just afraid that we will interfere with his food. It's understandable.

It seems that the new county magistrate is a bit timid. Hahaha. "

The follower smiled flatteringly and said: "That's right, who doesn't know that Zaoqiang's surname is Li? But don't say it, sir. I think this new county magistrate is not only timid, but also a bit lustful."

"How do you say it?" Li Yong became interested.

"Think about it, who should he look for? Widow Liu. I heard that the widow had a good face and a great figure. It's a pity that her husband and son died, and she was the only one left.

Back then, if someone hadn't protected her, she wouldn't be in any room in Wenxiang Building now. The new county magistrate also had a good eye and found her as soon as he arrived. "

Li Yong burst out laughing after hearing this, and with a turn of his eyes, he ordered: "Since people have come all the way to serve in Zaoqiang, how can we, as local people, disrespect the landlord's friendship?
Go ahead and ask Chef Zhang to make a steamed fish. Remember to ask him to separate the fish head from the fish body, so that it will be more flavorful! "

When the follower heard this, he said happily: "Master, can you let me deliver it to you?"

How could Li Yong not know what he was thinking, and said indifferently: "It's up to you, as long as the fish is delivered to me.

"Hey, young master, don't worry while I'm taking care of things."

The follower was very happy. He was a commoner and wanted to show off his face in front of Bailihou, the highest official in the county. He felt excited just thinking about it.

Although Chef Zhang was puzzled by the separation of the fish's corpses, Li Yong had ordered it, so he just followed it.

Zaoqiang County, county government.

With Li Yong's warrant, the follower arrived at the backyard of the county government office and the residence of the county magistrate without any hindrance.

Liu Shi saw a stranger carrying a food box, followed by two or three servants dressed as a servant, swaggering into his yard, but he did not receive any notification, and he was very angry.

The brother on the side was about to have a fit, but Liu Shi stopped him.

"I don't know who you are. Why did you enter the courtyard of this county without being notified? Even ordinary people have no such explanation. What's more, as the head of a county, you represent the imperial court. Are you planning to rebel?"

Liu Shi looked angry and yelled at his followers.

The follower was yelled at by Liu Shi so righteously, and he almost lost his grip on the things in his hands, and his legs were about to bend unconsciously.

But realizing that what was in front of them was just a bird in a cage, with fish and meat on the chopping board at their disposal, he couldn't keep his face at bay, and he suddenly straightened up and shouted loudly: "What are you yelling at?"
You are just a piece of fish who can be slaughtered. If you make me angry, I will kill you with one sword and no one will dare to say a word. The master of the Li family is the captain of the army, and he has all the soldiers and horses of the county in his hands. Even the imperial court is afraid of three points. Why are you so proud? "

Seeing that Liu Shi seemed to be frightened, the follower made a mockery again:
"I heard that you think the food cooked by the county government cooks is like pig food. On the orders of Mr. Li Yong, the head of the Li family, I will give you a steamed fish from Xianjulou.

After all, you are also the magistrate of Zaoqiang County, how can you eat pig food? Young Master said, if you want to survive, be honest with me from now on and don't do anything unpleasant to both parties.

When the time comes, Mr. Li will be unhappy and your life will be in danger. Don't blame me for not warning you. Not every appointment of this Zaoqiang County Magistrate will be like the last one, and he must leave completely. "The follower said to Liu Shi in a dark voice. Seeing Liu Shi's blushing face, the follower felt relieved.

Then someone put the food box in front of Liu Shi: "Open it and have a look. See if you like the gift from our young master."

Liu Shi opened the food box with an ugly expression. Inside, a steamed fish with its body separated was placed on a ceramic plate. Liu Shi seemed to be frightened. He took a step back, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

"County Lord!" The brother on the side helped Liu Shi up.

The follower's face was very happy, as if he had just come out of Wenxiang Pavilion: "Why, don't you taste the kindness of the young master? Do you look down on the gift from the young master?"

Liu Shi stepped forward tremblingly. He had no cutlery, so he had to pick up a piece of fish with his hands, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

For the sake of effectiveness, the waiter also asked Chef Zhang to cut off the fish meat piece by piece with a knife, not only separating the body but also the bones and flesh.

Don't tell me, Chef Zhang's cooking is pretty good and it's quite delicious.

But Liu Shi pretended to smile reluctantly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. This fish is very good."

When the attendant saw Liu Shi eating it, he laughed loudly and then led the others away.

When the follower disappeared from sight, Liu Shi asked his brothers to close the courtyard door.

My brother closed the door, turned around, and said angrily: "Cousin, we can survive in the tens of thousands of armies because we are not without skills. I will kill that kid tonight."

Liu Shi had calmed down at this time, sitting on the ground and savoring Chef Zhang's craftsmanship: "Don't talk about the taste. No wonder my father still missed the taste of Xianjulou when he left. .”

Seeing the resentment on his cousin's face, Liu Shi smiled and said, "That's good. This will make it easier for us to do things. Don't be impatient when doing things. You see, when we follow the envoy, no matter how complicated the problem is, no matter how the situation is." No matter how dangerous the crisis is, you always face it calmly and deal with it calmly.

Even Fu Jun is like this, which shows that this is the correct way to successfully overcome difficulties. No wonder others can inherit it for thousands of years, but our Liu family has only survived for a hundred years, and only a few of our brothers are left.

Now that I have the honor to work for the Bai family, I must learn from them. The Liu family depends on us brothers. Don't be reckless, put family and major issues first in everything. "

The cousin nodded in agreement with a look of shame.

Since the elders in the family were gradually killed in battle, the remaining members of the Liu family were dominated by Liu Shi, and Liu Shi lived up to expectations. Not only did he save several of his brothers through various means during the battle against Gongsun Shu, he also allowed They got on Bai's line.

Therefore, the brothers all believed that the revenge for the destruction of the Li family and the resurgence of the Liu family in Zaoqiang might be related to Liu Shi. It was precisely because of this that they worked so hard without any complaints. He Erxin obeyed Liu Shi's orders.

If this were placed in other families, there would only be three or two big cats and kittens left. Just by being the son of the clan leader, they would not be able to suppress their peers.

"You should sit down and eat too. I heard from my father that the steamed fish cooked by Chef Zhang of Xianju Building is the best in Qinghe. By the way, don't forget to leave a few slices for the tenth and thirteenth brothers."

After saying that, Liu Shi turned around and went back to the room.

Listening to the description of the follower, Li Yong felt relieved. It seemed that this time Zao Qiangling was also a coward, but he should not be careless. What if he was deceived?
"Okay, now that the county magistrate has relented, don't bother him anymore. Why would a dog jump over the wall if he is anxious? But remember to send a person to keep an eye on him for me. Where did he go? , whoever you meet must be reported to me in a timely manner."

Li Yong interrupted the follower and gave instructions as he described how elegant he was and how timid and flattering Liu Shi was to entertain himself.

Then he picked up Mei Ji and walked into the side room on the left. Just as he was about to step into the room, he turned around and asked the attendant who was about to go out and closed the door: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, what is the name of this county magistrate?" ?”

The follower was stunned and whispered: "I don't know about this, I haven't asked."

Meiji in her arms gently held Li Yong's slightly handsome face with her hands. Li Yong felt it and shook his head: "Forget it, it's not important."

Then he strode into the side room.

In the following days, Liu Shi did not go out once in the county government office, but his three cousins ​​took turns going out to buy things.

This made Li Yong's eyeliner who had been ordered to keep an eye on Liu Shi feel sleepy. There was only one person to replace him twelve hours a day. Who could withstand this?

It was noon and the weather was hot. He pretended to be a sleepy waiter at the tea stall. He saw two guards arm-in-arm coming out of the backyard of the county government office. One hooked the other's face to his chest. The two were having a fight.

The eyeliner glanced alertly, then ignored it, and continued to nap with squinted eyes. He only allowed himself to keep an eye on the county magistrate, not the guards. This little money was only enough to keep an eye on one person. If you keep an eye on one more, it would be detrimental to your career. of disrespect.
