The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 561 You Sing, I Come On

"you!"

Zhao Mengqing only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood almost gushed out.

This Li Tai has already blatantly challenged his authority, it is simply presumptuous!

Now Zhao Mengqing can almost confirm that Li Tai is the one who sent a small official to report him.Now that the other party has already torn his face, there is no need to make false claims.

Zhao Mengqing slapped Li Tai three times with his hands.

Although he was a civil servant, these three slaps were full of strength, and Li Tai was caught off guard and staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He looked at Zhao Mengqing very puzzled, apparently not understanding how Zhao Zhizhou would actually do it.

In fact, Li Tai's morality is too shallow.

As a civil servant, you don't need to know other things, but you must be proficient in scolding and fighting.

Look at the imperial court, among the six departments, whenever there is a disagreement, roll up your sleeves and fight.

Li Tai respected the words of the sages and paid attention to the gentleman's words but not his hands. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mengqing didn't come with him at all, and he just came up to fight!

"Li Tongzhi, are you surprised? Are you surprised? I just asked you a word and slapped you three times. Do you dare to fight back?"

Zhao Mengqing laughed back angrily, staring straight at Li Tai who was covering his cheek.

Li Tongzhi's cheeks were hot as fire, and he couldn't help trembling.

Compared with the pain on his face, the insult he received was more unacceptable to him.

"Master Zhao, you are too deceitful, I will fight you today!"

Li Tai finally understood that a civil servant who can't fight is not a good civil servant, but fortunately he came to his senses and resorted to a killer move.

Zhao Zhizhou was kicked too late to dodge, and immediately fell to the ground in pain.

"Ouch."

This kick kicked Li Tai with all his strength, and Zhao Mengqing was in great pain.

Li Tai looked at Zhao Mengqing who was rolling on the ground, and the pent-up resentment in his heart finally dissipated.

Damn it, I'm a little kid in front of people, and I'll carry the scapegoat for you, in exchange for three resounding slaps from you.It seems that I did nothing wrong, and I should report a hypocrite like you severely!
"Pooh!"

Li Tai spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and shot it on Zhao Mengqing's face.

"Wait to die for you."

Li Tai flicked his robe sleeves and walked away, leaving Zhao Zhizhou alone to continue rolling on the ground
It has to be said that Li Tai estimated the wrong form.

The imperial envoy came to him for questioning, not to convict Zhao Mengqing, but to learn more about Zhao Mengqing's personality from more channels.

After all, judging from the time Gu Dingchen had been in contact with Zhao Mengqing, Zhao Mengqing was not a complete mediocre official, and even to some extent, Zhao Mengqing was a very capable official.

Gu Dingchen couldn't help but be careless when it suddenly broke out that a small official had reported on a superior official.

What if someone has a grudge with Zhao Mengqing and instigates a small official to use a gun to make trouble?
There is nothing wrong with being more cautious in everything, and there is no such thing as a wrong case.

And Zhao Mengqing was not as panicked as before.

First of all, he had asked someone to transfer all the concubines' rooms, without leaving a single trace of evidence, even if Gu Dingchen asked someone to turn the back office upside down, nothing would be gained.As for the confession, it is impossible to count without physical evidence.Otherwise, the trend of framing will not be rampant?
Secondly, Li Tai's punching and kicking gave Zhao Mengqing a chance to make use of the problem.

Officials of Ming Dynasty, especially high-ranking officials, are not bad at acting.If you don't have a play, you can act by yourself.What's more, now Li Tai took the initiative to play for Zhao Mengqing!
Zhao Mengqing's kick was not for nothing.

He immediately went to the imperial envoy Gu Dingchen to cry, and explained Li Tai's actions of being superior.

As an imperial envoy, Gu Dingchen naturally couldn't just listen to one side of the story, and immediately ordered someone to call Li Tai to confront Zhao Mengqing.

Li Tai had already gotten wind of it beforehand, scolding Zhao Mengqing for being shameless and at the same time thinking about countermeasures.

The imperial envoy had no choice but to go. Fortunately, the redness and swelling on Li Tai's face hadn't subsided, and he was ready to deal with the immediate crisis.

When Li Tai came in front of the imperial envoy Gu Dingchen, he burst into tears without saying a word.

"Master Imperial Envoy, you have to make the decision for the lower official. The Zhizhou Lord has been wronged somewhere, so he wants to take down the official to vent his anger. God is sorry, the lower official has always been respectful to the Zhizhou Lord, but he never thought that the Zhizhou Lord would repeatedly slap the lower official. I slapped him more than a dozen times. After being insulted like this, I really feel ashamed to see others."

Li Tai tilted half of his head, and desperately showed Gu Dingchen the swollen pig's head.

Gu Dingchen couldn't help swallowing.

This is too hard
With such a heavy shot, I definitely couldn't make it. Could it be that Zhao Mengqing shot first and Li Tai defended later?

If so, the nature of the matter seems to be different again.

Gu Dingchen hesitated a little.

Fights between civil servants, he has long seen it in the capital.

This kind of thing is difficult to define a right or wrong, and more often it is [-] boards each, so let's leave it at that.

If we really get to the bottom of it, is it Zhao Mengqing's fault or Li Tai's fault? ,

Seeing Gu Dingchen's ambiguous attitude, Zhao Mengqing became a little anxious.

He was obviously the victim in this matter, why did Li Tai beat him up?What's more, he obviously only slapped Li Tai three times, how come it turned into a dozen slaps in Li Tai's mouth?
The most exasperating thing was that the imperial envoy was really hesitant when he was fooled by Li Tai, a bitch.

With his hesitation, Zhao Mengqing's counterattack was impossible.

"Master Imperial Envoy, don't listen to this villain's lies. How can the subordinate officials fight with him. Imperial Envoy, you have to make decisions for the inferior officials."

The two took turns to fight, shaking out all kinds of obscenities, which really humiliated the scholars.

Gu Dingchen saw that the two of them were getting more and more angry, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "Enough. Did I come to Linqing to break up these personal grievances for you? Don't say such vulgar words to slander your colleagues, and I don't want to hear them! "

Both Zhao Mengqing and Li Tai shrank their necks.

Hey, he is an imperial envoy after all, his temper is not ordinary.

Zhizhou Zhao Mengqing and Tong Zhi Li Tai drooped their heads like two roosters who had been defeated in a fight, and they dared not go to see the imperial envoy Gu Dingchen at all.

Gu Dingchen said with a sneer: "Now I understand that the two of you have deep personal grievances, and you both want to add fuel to this official, so that I can make decisions for you and suppress the other party, right? Are you like this? Do you still look like an imperial court official?"

Zhao Mengqing and Li Tai were trained by Gu Dingchen to be like grandsons, watching their noses, their noses, their noses and their hearts, not daring to show their air.

Gu Dingchen felt that he was still angry, and said to himself: "Your Majesty appointed you as officials in Linqing to benefit the common people, but looking at you, can the common people have a good life?"

"Li Tongzhi."

"The next official is here"

"Get out!"

"what?"

Li Tai looked at Gu Dingchen in surprise, and didn't move for a long time.

"Why can't you understand? The officer told you to get out!"

"Okay, Xiaguan, get out now, get out now."

After speaking, Li Tai actually lay down on the ground and crawled out of the hall.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Mengqing was naturally the most delighted.

Be good, although the imperial envoy was a little fierce to him just now, he still thinks about him at critical times.Look at Li Tai's end, he crawled out of the house, what face is there?

Zhao Mengqing happily waited for the imperial envoy to question him, but Gu Dingchen didn't speak for a long time.

Now Zhao Mengqing was a little guilty.

What does this mean, Mr. Imperial Envoy?
It's not a problem to just hang yourself out like this.

Just when Zhao Mengqing was puzzled, Gu Dingchen finally spoke up.

"Take a good look at it. This is the report of the scribes in Linqing Prefecture that you have robbed women of the people and kept singing prostitutes."

Zhao Mengqing only felt a stream of cold sweat coming out of his back.

"Why, do you want me to read it to you personally?"

Gu Dingchen was obviously a little impatient, and there was a killing intent in his voice.

"Humble position, come by yourself, come by yourself"

Zhao Mengqing gritted his teeth, took the case and began to look at it from the beginning.

He already knew about the scribe's report on him, and he also had a general understanding of the content of the report.

But when he saw this with his own eyes, he still felt extremely angry.

This is not just a statement of one thing, it is clearly a vivid description.

Feeling ashamed and annoyed, Zhao Mengqing saluted Gu Dingchen and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, what is recorded in this petition is nothing but nonsense, you must never believe it."

Gu Dingchen sneered and said, "It's up to you whether I believe it or not. You say it's a nonsense, but why did he describe it in such detail?"

"Master Imperial Envoy, this person must have been instructed to fabricate such a whole set of things. Your Excellency Imperial Envoy must strictly investigate this case, find out the person behind the scenes, and return him to justice."

Zhao Mengqing clenched his mouth on being wronged, which made it very difficult for Gu Dingchen.

"The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real."

Gu Dingchen took a deep breath and said: "I hope that what you said is true. Otherwise, your crime will not only be written on this pleading paper, but you will also have to add a deceitful imperial envoy!"

hiss!
This crime is heavier than the sum of all the statements on the entire pleading paper. After all, the imperial envoy represents the emperor, and deceiving the imperial envoy is tantamount to deceiving the emperor.

Bullying the king is a huge crime, and it will cost you your head.

But now Zhao Mengqing was in trouble, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Master Imperial Envoy, there is nothing wrong with what I said."

Zhao Mengqing no longer remembered how he left from the imperial envoy Gu Dingchen.

After returning to Houya, Zhao Mengqing only felt his legs were weak, and he would have fallen to the ground if his master Wu Lian hadn't stepped forward to help him.

"Proprietor, how is the situation? What is the attitude of the imperial envoy?"

As a counselor, Wu Lian naturally has to shoulder the task of advising Zhao Mengqing.Although it is extremely depressing to have such a proprietor at the stall, there is still work to be done.

"Attitude? What attitude can the imperial envoy have?"

Zhao Mengqing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "At first, I thought the imperial envoy was just putting on a show, but now it seems that the old man is planning to get serious."

Wu Lian's heart sank, and he asked tentatively: "What does the proprietor mean, is the imperial envoy going to investigate to the end?"

"It wasn't Li Tai, that bitch who killed thousands of knives, who instigated it. Now the imperial envoy is sure that there is a rift between the two of us, and the investigation is certain. I'm afraid that the matter of building the embankment will also be drawn out."

What Zhao Mengqing is most afraid of is the chain reaction.Although the problem of private life is also very serious, it only involves private life after all.

Which of the officials in the Ming Dynasty did not have three wives and four concubines, even if they linger in the flowers, it is not a big crime.

But it would be completely different if he was greedy for the money used to build the embankment and deceived the imperial envoys.

The combination of these two serious crimes is enough to kill Zhao Mengqing ten times.

"Hasn't the proprietor already done it seamlessly? Could it be?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Li Tai didn't handle it."

No matter how confused Zhao Mengqing was, he would not let an adjutant like Tongzhi handle this kind of matter.Otherwise, if the adjutant is in a bad mood one day and reveals the matter, Zhao Mengqing will be killed.

"But the little officials below are all aware of the situation. I'm afraid they will be bribed by Li Tai and trick them out."

Wu Lian's heart that had just let go immediately hung up again.

Yes, just because the proprietor didn't let Li Tongzhi take charge of this matter doesn't mean that Li Tongzhi couldn't find out the details of the embankment construction from other sources.

In fact, things in the yamen are very complicated, and an ordinary official may have a lot of core information.

If these petty officials were bought, the information would naturally flow into the hands of those who bought the petty officials.

Li Tai obviously has the ability to bribe small officials, after all, he is the second in command of the government office in Linqing Prefecture.

"What did Master Futai say?"

"Brother Yan told me that he would have a good chat with Li Tai, and told him to keep his mouth shut. But who would have thought that Li Tai would be the first to attack him."

Zhao Mengqing rubbed his forehead repeatedly, his mood had reached the bottom of the valley.

"Master Futai has no backup?"

"Second hand, what the hell can there be?"

Zhao Mengqing swiped across the front of his neck, making a murderous gesture.

"Dead people can't speak, since this Li Tai is ignorant, that's the only way he can do it."

Although Zhao Mengqing was most suspected of killing Li Tai right now, he had to do so.

Now only Li Tai has the ability to dig deep into the whole story of the embankment construction.As for the imperial envoy, he didn't know anything about it.

As long as Li Tai was eliminated, Zhao Mengqing's greatest risk would be eliminated.
