Chapter 766 The Death of Li Daliang

"Han... Lao Han, Lao Liu, are you really taken by Duke Xia?" A middle-aged official in a blue official uniform asked in surprise.

"Hey, how dare we lie to you, Steward Shi? It's a fluke." Facing their former immediate bosses, Lao Han and Lao Liu still felt timid and said with a smile.

"Here... tell me what Duke Xia asked you all." Shi Pinyong asked in disbelief.

"I just asked..." Lao Han was about to say, but Lao Liu grabbed him.

"Hey, yes, I didn't ask anything, I just asked about our water control. It's a commonplace question."

Only then did Lao Han come to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am talking about that."

Shi Pinyong was very dissatisfied, and was ready to get angry out of habit, but Lao Liu didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and said first:

"Guard Shi, we have already handed over everything to you. Duke Xia is still waiting for us to report, but he dare not make living gods wait any longer. We are leaving first, and I will treat you to tea later."

After speaking, he pulled Lao Han and ran away.

Seeing the backs of the two going away, Shi Pinyong felt uncomfortable: "Bah, what the hell. Do you think you can be superior to others if you enter the museum? A pariah is a pariah everywhere."

Seeing all the officials and craftsmen around him looking at him, he scolded: "What are you looking at, if you are not convinced? Get out if you want to, and never step into the gate of the Ministry of Industry."

Everyone was trembling with fear.

"Cough cough." At this moment, a dry cough came from outside the door.

Shi Pinyong turned his head and saw that it was his immediate superior, Wailang Tong Shuru, a member of the Ministry of Water, who quickly greeted him with a flattering smile: "Master Tong, why are you here?"

Tong Shuru said displeasedly: "You come with me."

Shi Pinyong was startled, and bent even lower: "Yes, yes, yes."

When the two left, the rest of the staff and craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief, showing gloating expressions, making your mouth look cheap.

However, what they didn't know was that the displeasure on Tong Shuru's face disappeared after turning a corner, and he said earnestly:
"As an official of the court, you must pay attention to your words and deeds. The court insists on abolishing the craftsman's registration...there are only civilian registrations in the world, and there are no humble registrations."

"From now on, you can just use the title of humble origin in private. Don't say it in public, especially don't say it in front of the craftsman. If someone gets angry and sues you, you will have good fruit to eat."

When did the superior talk to him in such a friendly tone, Shi Pinyong's waist almost broke with excitement: "Thank you for the reminder, sir, I will keep it in mind."

Tong Shuru nodded in relief, supported him and said, "These craftsmen have been enslaved by our Ministry of Industry for generations, and now not only have they been freed, but also let them work with us. I am also very unwilling."

At this time, Shi Pinyong was still immersed in the infinite care of his superiors, and the other party did speak to his heart, so he nodded hurriedly and said:

"Yes, the lower officials just don't want to be reconciled. They are just untouchables who can't read a single word. Why should they be side by side with us?"

Tong Shuru sighed: "He has big people supporting him, what can we do?"

Shi Pin said angrily: "That's right, Duke Xia doesn't know..."

"Hush." ​​Tong Shuru stopped him, looked around in fear, and said with lingering fear when no one found out:
"You don't want to die. How did I tell you just now? There are some things you can think about and do, but you can't say them."

Shi Pinyong said: "It's just you and me here, no one else will hear you."

Tong Shuru scolded, "You must know that walls have ears."

Shi Pinyong scratched his head and said with a sneer, "It's me, Meng Lang."

Suddenly he was discouraged and said: "Those big people are so high above, I'm afraid we will never be able to hold a candle to them in our lifetime. What can we do except to be angry here."

Tong Shuru chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. He is superior to Xia Guogong, but he can't do everything himself, can he? We small people can also trip them up when we have the opportunity."

"As long as you think about it, there is a good opportunity right now, it depends on whether you dare or not."

Shi Pinyong said in horror: "This... is not good, we can't bear it if we are found out and pursued."

Tong Shuru said: "No wonder you have been in charge of the ninth rank for so many years, and you will never be able to climb up with this courage. Do you really think that he can cover the sky with one hand in the court?"

"If that's the case, does he still need to retire? Does he need to go to the museum to work? He has already been sitting in the political affairs hall to call the shots, and there are many people who oppose him."

"And it's not that you are asked to do something illegal. My Ministry of Water is in charge of the affairs of mountains, rivers and rivers in the world. There are many affairs. Some things have been forgotten for a while or there are more important things to do, and there is no time to deal with them. What can he do? ?”

"Don't tell me you've never done anything like this."

Shi Pinyong said Ai Ai eagerly: "This...I...this..."

Tong Shuru suddenly laughed and said: "Haha... just chatting casually, you still take it seriously. It's the courage to scare you..."

After speaking, he shook his head and turned to leave.

Although he didn't say anything later, his disappointment and contempt were undoubtedly revealed.

Shi Pinyong's face turned red, his eyes struggled, and finally he made up his mind.Batting his legs, he chased after Tong Shuru: "Master Tong, don't rush away, let's discuss it later."

……

Yue Shan found that the actual cases seemed to be more effective than the advertisements in the Weishui Journal. The admission of Han Gen'er and Liu Mao drove a large number of people to sign up.

It's just a pity that most of the people who came here were craftsmen who belonged to the Ministry of Industry, and there were very few qualified ones.

Many people who were rejected still had plausible arguments, saying that he was much better than Han Gener and Liu Mao in the Ministry of Industry, and his skills must have surpassed the two, why should they not me.

It's almost a cry of injustice.

Let Yueshan's head get bigger.

Fortunately, after this round of interviews, the people under him finally figured out who he wanted, and they could slightly take over his position for the preliminary review.

Those subordinates who felt that they were unqualified or could not make up their minds were sent to him for a second trial.

Only in this way can he be slightly liberated from the tedious work.

But it hasn't been quiet for two days and something happened.

Chen Yu found him and said, "The Ministry of Industry has given a batch of materials we need to the card owner."

"What?" Yue Shan was a little surprised: "I've already talked with Li Shangshu, how could I still be stuck? Haven't you looked for it?"

Chen Yu said: "I went to look for it, and I also went to meet Li Shangshu. But in front of him, the people from the engineering department agreed better than anyone else, and they didn't recognize him when they left the house."

"I originally wanted to go to Li Shangshu again, but...he doesn't seem to be feeling well, and I don't dare to bother him too much, so I'll come back to you to find a solution."

No matter what Yue Shan said, he had been in the political circle for so many years, so he naturally knew what was going on.But after all, it was the first time he encountered such a thing, and he still couldn't believe it:
"Are we being targeted?"

Chen Yu said cautiously: "I think, it should be."

"Heh..." Yue Shan couldn't help laughing: "It's really the first time for a big girl to sit in a sedan chair. Walk around and take me to see it."

"Please."

The two came all the way to the Ministry of Industry, and the people at the door dared not stop them at all.Yue Shan didn't look for Li Daliang, but went straight to the Ministry of Water.

"Wailang Tong Shuru, a member of the Ministry of Water, visited Xia Guogong. I don't know why you came to our company?" Tong Shuru said respectfully.

"Where is your doctor, let him come out to meet me." Yue Shan also thought it was amused, and said with a playful look on purpose.

"I'm really sorry, the Yellow River has been flooded recently, and the doctor is not in Beijing because he went to control the flood." Tong Shuru said apologetically.

"Yo, what a coincidence. Then who is in charge of the Ministry of Water now, calling me out to see me?"

"It's just not talented, temporarily manage it."

"It's you, that's good. When will the materials I need from the museum be delivered?"

"This... may I ask which batch of supplies it is?"

Chen Yu couldn't help but said, "What are you pretending to be, I met Li Shangshu yesterday."

Tong Shuru looked at Chen Yu carefully, and after a while he acted like he had suddenly realized: "So it's you, look at my memory. I've been so busy recently that I didn't recognize it."

"Didn't I entrust this matter to Manager Shi? Didn't he handle it for you? You see, this man is so sloppy, and I specifically confessed that this is Xia Guogong's business and should be dealt with first."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I'll send someone to call him over right now."

Yue Shan didn't say anything, just watched his performance with cold eyes.Tong Shuru didn't feel embarrassed, and sent someone to look for Shi Pinyong on his own.

"I'm afraid he won't come here for a while, why don't we go inside and wait for him?"

"No need, the threshold of your Ministry of Industry is too high, I still won't go in, just wait here."

"Ah? Okay, okay." Tong Shuru panicked for the first time. He looked around and saw many people looking here, and he was even more anxious.

"I'll send someone to urge them to hurry up."

After speaking, I found another person and ran all the way to find someone.

Yue Shan sneered in his heart, these people's methods will never change.If he followed into the house, he might not be able to wait for people after the door was closed for a long time.

There are people coming and going in the public, and he is very eye-catching standing here as a prince, and someone will definitely tell Li Daliang.

When Li Daliang comes over, they won't be able to eat and walk around.

These people came to disgust him on purpose, and if he was sure, he would not go to Li Daliang again even if he was embarrassed, because he couldn't afford to lose that person.

When that Shi Pinyong came over later, he would definitely apologize sincerely, and then said that it was already done, but in the end he forgot to send it over.

Then respectfully send things over.It makes you sick, and you have nowhere to get angry.

as predicted.

After a while, Shi Pinyong ran over sweating profusely, and said out of breath, "Oh, I'm really sorry, I prepared the supplies for you overnight last night, and I wanted to send them over early this morning."

"Unexpectedly, an urgent official document came suddenly, saying that the Yellow River needed supplies, and I forgot about it. I also trouble you to go there yourself. The next official is guilty. Please punish Xia Guogong."

"Hehe..." Yue Shan laughed out loud, "Chen Yu, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Chen Yu said respectfully: "You are a benevolent and kind person."

"No, no, no." Yue Shan shook his head and said, "I am a person who will take revenge. Some people will swallow this breath for the sake of face when encountering disgusting things, but I won't."

"When I encounter this kind of mouse, I either ignore it or trample it to death so that they will never have a chance to appear in front of me again."

"Let me ask you another question. What do you think the saint will do if I kill two officials of the sixth and ninth ranks?"

Chen Yu immediately said: "The sage will let the six doors investigate what crimes these two people have committed, and the six doors will definitely find out. Then let these two people and the barbarians vent their anger on you."

"Oh, that's it." Yue Shan pretended to be enlightened, and then asked Tong Shuru and Tong Shuru sincerely, "Do you think my actions are too cruel?"

Seeing that things had completely deviated from the expected track, the two of them were so scared that they sweated. They used to use this method to disgust people before, and nothing happened. Why did it fail this time?

Tong Shuru swallowed his saliva and said: "Hehe, Xia... Xia Guogong don't...don't play jokes with the lower officials, the lower officials are timid."

Yue Shan shook his head and said: "No, no, I think you are not timid at all. Even..."

Just when he was about to say a few words of intimidation, he suddenly saw a group of people rushing over from a distance, and the strongest one was Li Daliang.

Seeing Li Daliang approaching, Tong Shuru and Shi Pinyong rushed to greet him as if they had met a great savior.

Li Daliang ignored them, went straight to Yue Shan, and said with a smile: "Duke Xia came to the Ministry of Industry and didn't look for me, does he look down on me, Li Daliang?"

Yue Shan looked at Li Daliang carefully, only to see that he had bags under his eyes, a pale complexion, sweating profusely, and breathless.

The great general who once ruled the world, just walked a few steps and became like this.It made Yue Shan feel quite uncomfortable, and suddenly he lost the intention to pursue those two people.

"I heard that you are not feeling well, and I am sorry to bother you. They have already taken care of a little things for me."

Li Daliang said with a smile: "You are too out of touch. Have you dealt with the matter well? Then go to my place and do it."

Tong Shuru hurriedly said: "It's dealt with, it's dealt with, don't worry."

He was okay, but Shi Pinyong seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that Yue Shan didn't dare to do anything to them in front of Li Daliang, or that those words just now were intentionally intimidating, so he suddenly became bolder.

Chao Yueshan showed a sarcastic expression.

Yue Shan's attention was not on him, and he didn't notice it.Unwilling, Chen Yu kept staring at the two of them, looking straight at them.

His lungs exploded immediately, and he shouted: "Presumptuous, ignorant bastard, dare to insult the dean so far."

Both Yue Shan and Li Daliang, who were defenseless, were taken aback.

Yue Shan said displeasedly: "Chen Yu, what are you yelling?"

Chen Yu said angrily: "Just now you kindly let these two villains go, but they not only didn't appreciate it, but even mocked you in private. I really can't bear it."

Hearing this, no matter how stupid Li Daliang was, he knew something was wrong, and asked: "Grand Xia, is what Chen Yuanjian said true?"

"This..." Seeing his weak appearance, Yue Shan really didn't know how to speak.

Chen Yu didn't have so many scruples, and immediately told the ins and outs of the incident.

After listening, Li Daliang's face turned green and red, pointed at Tong Shuru and Shi Pinyong, and said, "You...you...you are so mad at me."

"Pfft!" Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and the person fell limply to the ground and passed out.
