Two days later, Li Yu was preparing to go back. During these two days, whenever Zhang Xiaobao showed up, he would follow Zhang Xiaobao and ask him about the details of the three plans Zhang Xiaobao gave him.
Zhang Xiaobao did not refuse. As long as Li Yu asked, he would answer in detail and give examples so that Li Yu could understand better.
Although two days were not long, to Li Yu, it was like seeing a new world. In the past, he had heard of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's reputation. One could be said to be a scholar and the other a martial artist. Each had their own strengths. Many people said that the scariest thing was not meeting one of them.
This was because if you only met one of them, then if the whole country worked together and did not think about taking advantage of them, there might be a way to resist. However, if you really met the two of them together, there would be no more chances. This was because the two of them grew up together.
Their cooperation was called tacit understanding. Some people felt that it was very good to be able to understand each other with just a glance. However, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not even need to look at each other. Even if the two of them were separated, they could understand what the other was going to do and cooperate with each other.
The most direct feeling was that in the two days that they stayed, Wang Juan ran to the riverside at noon on the first day. She did not even say a word before she was with Zhang Xiaobao. When it was time for lunch, Zhang Xiaobao went to prepare something. It was a basin and some salt, but there was nothing else.
At this time, Wang Juan ran back and happily told Zhang Xiaobao that she had caught a lot of prawns and wanted to eat salted prawns. Then, she directly put them in the basin and cooked them for everyone to eat.
At night, Wang Juan ran to the river again without greeting anyone. She still asked Zhang Xiaobao about the details together. When it was almost time to eat, Zhang Xiaobao went to get some garlic sprouts and eggs. When Wang Juan came back, she said that she still went to catch prawns and wanted to eat dumplings at night. Then, Zhang Xiaobao began to use the things he took out to make dumplings.
The next day, Wang Juan ran out at noon. When she came back, she was carrying a big fish in her hand. Zhang Xiaobao was not around to prepare lunch. After Wang Juan heard that, she put the fish down and found a few children to make mud. When Zhang Xiaobao came out with charcoal, the mud was already ready. Zhang Xiaobao directly poured seasoned wine into the fish's stomach and wrapped it in mud to burn.
With such cooperation, there was no need to look at each other. The two people did not need to see each other at all. They did not need to communicate with each other to know what the other was going to do. One was a scholar and the other was a martial artist. This was the real combination of two swords.
More importantly, if it was really a scholar and a martial artist, it would be fine. The problem was that Zhang Xiaobao was not bad at martial arts. When they were really close, he always stood from the angle that he could protect Wang Juan the most. At the same time, when talking about military affairs, he was better than himself. Needless to say, Wang Juan was even better.
When Zhang Xiaobao was talking about the plan, she would add on from the side and explain the things that she did not know. Who was the one who said that Zhang Xiaobao's martial arts were not good enough and Wang Juan's literary skills were not good enough?
Only by really interacting with the two people could one understand their abilities. Even when talking about academic matters with them, Wang Juan was not worse than Zhang Xiaobao.
These two people could not be offended. He felt sorry for Feng Changgong. He could have provoked anyone, but he had to provoke Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Moreover, when there was a way out, he still insisted.
When he was about to leave, he actually came to curry favor with him and gave him a gift worth 300 strings of coins.
He wanted to bribe him with 300 strings of coins. Why didn't he bribe Zhang Zhong with that much money? There were too many, so many that it was a little scary.
"Young Master, it's already noon. Should we find a place to eat?" Just as Li Yu was thinking about Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and felt scared, the guard captain next to him came up and asked.
Li Yu broke away from his thoughts just now. He looked at the sky and said, "It's noon so soon? Aren't we going the way we came? Did you see any hotels around when you came? "
"In reply to Young Master, there is no decent restaurant, only a small restaurant. Are we going there? I mean, why don't we change direction, walk a few more steps, and find a good restaurant to eat. The food in a small restaurant will definitely not taste good. "
The guard captain suggested with concern, hoping to walk along the fork in the road ahead and look elsewhere.
Li Yu thought for a moment and shook his head. "No need. Go to the restaurant and ask if they can make food for 300 people. Simple food is fine as long as it can fill my stomach. So what if it's a restaurant? Can the food made by the chef there be better than Zhang Xiaobao's?
Don't be so picky. Many of Fifth Brother's guards had followed Wang Juan to Tubo to fight. When they were there, they fought with their lives on the line every day. How could they have the time to think about what to eat? Even if it's tree bark, they still have to eat it. Are my soldiers really that bad? "
"I don't dare. I'll send someone to ask." The guard captain really did want to eat something good for himself and his brothers, but after hearing Li Yu's words, he didn't dare to mention it again.
He hurriedly ordered someone to ask in advance while he followed behind Li Yu. He secretly decided that when he returned, he would train his subordinates well. Normally, when he met the prefectural army, he would think that they were not bad.
After returning to Xin Cai County and seeing Tong 'an Royal Prince, Zhang Xiaobao, and Wang Juan's bodyguards, he finally realized how big the gap was. It took him about three days to reach Tong' an Royal Prince's bodyguards. In the last two days, he had a few matches with Tong 'an Royal Prince's bodyguards. One of them could beat two, two of them could beat five, and five of them could beat fifteen of his bodyguards.
The more people there were, the better their cooperation. The real competition was between Royal Prince Tong 'an's guards who didn't follow Wang Juan. Those who passed the test couldn't be bothered to fight with people like him. Those who were unconvinced went to find trouble with him. In the end, it was five against one. Three of them were knocked unconscious and two of their joints were dislocated.
The other party still had that kind of disdainful look in his eyes, but no one dared to challenge him anymore. His attacks were too ruthless, and it was completely different from their usual training. Every move he made was a killing move, and he fought with his life on the line. When had they ever seen such a thing during training? When five people beat him up, he was clearly hit in the face.
If it was a normal practice, he would have dodged. However, he took it head-on and paid the price of two teeth. He defeated two people in one move and acted as if he didn't care.
Ruthless, really ruthless. He was ruthless to others and ruthless to himself. This was a f * cking person who came back alive from the battlefield.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's guards didn't make a move either. Someone suggested a competition, and the other party made his people sign the life and death agreement. They said that they had never competed with others outside. There would be blood if they fought. The reason was that they weren't skilled enough and couldn't control their weapons freely.
These two types of people made his people lose so badly that the young master was unhappy. At that time, his face was as dark as water. If he still wanted to eat something good today, he would probably be taught a lesson when he returned.
Li Yu also prepared for this. Embarrassing, it was too embarrassing. If they couldn't beat Fifth Brother's people one on one, it was even worse when they worked together. What was the point of having such guards? Did they have to specifically find people who weren't as good as them to fight? What if they had to go outside one day? Did they have to run for their lives?
If Fifth Brother's cavalry was led by Wang Juan, they should be the ones running for their lives. He didn't have to say that he was that good, but at least he didn't embarrass himself too much. It turned out that those who were good at hunting might not be good at killing.
As he thought about it, Li Yu felt that he should train his guards on the way back. When the time was right, he would show Fifth Brother that he wasn't bad and was also very hardworking.
*****
Li Xun didn't know what his younger brother was thinking. When he sent his younger brother off, he gave him a lot of canned food so that he could eat it when he didn't feel like eating. It wasn't easy to see each other.
They were family, but he couldn't show it. This time, they were in Xin Cai. If they met in the capital, they would be treated differently. He was the loneliest in a big group of brothers. Fortunately, he met Xiao Bao and Cuckoo at that time. Otherwise, he didn't know what would have happened.
After sending his younger brother off, Li Xun turned around and found Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. At this time, the two of them were also planning to leave.
Li Xun was reluctant to leave. After thinking for a while, he said, "You guys are going back. Wait for me for a few days. I'll take a look at the situation here and come to your side. That day, someone came to report that honeycomb coal was good. Why don't you send some to my county? I'll use it too."
"Yes, I have to go. There are still things to deal with in the county. Cuckoo is also homesick, so I'll probably have to ask for leave to take her to Luoyang. Honeycomb coal is actually nothing. You can look for coal mines in your county. If you don't have any, you can look around and make your own. It's very simple.
Zhang Xiaobao also knew that there was no such thing as a banquet that lasted forever. He solemnly said some words to Li Xun, telling him to speed up the preparations so that they could leave as soon as possible. Wang Juan was getting more and more sleepy recently and always wanted to sleep. They had to go back and let her see her family. At that time, she would be comforted. She would be fine after this period of her menstrual cycle.
That night, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan set off to leave, leaving Li Xun alone to continue watching. He wanted to find a pattern that did not follow.
"Xiao Bao, we won't be sending people gradually. This time, Li Linfu will also come. I really want to see what he looks like. It's said that no matter what he faces, he is always so calm, giving people the feeling that he is very sincere and reliable. Then, as long as he has the opportunity, he will take action against people who have a grudge with him. He's very insidious."
On the way back, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao.
"So what if he's insidious? The main thing is that he is very capable. Otherwise, it's useless to rely on insidiousness. What's the point of looking at him? He's just a small official, Secondary Class, Rank 4. I really don't put him in my eyes. If you give him a chance, he can go up. If you don't give him a chance, he can forget about moving up.
If you don't hate him, then suppress him. Even if he is really different from what is written in the book and is a good person, you can still suppress him. Who can this world not revolve without who? "
Zhang Xiaobao tried to say something to make Wang Juan happy, so that he could adjust her mood.
"That's right. As long as I'm not satisfied with him, no matter who he is, I'll deal with him. But it's best to see when the time comes. If he's really capable, even if I can't let him run to a higher position, I still have to use him. Not all people are good people."
Wang Juan was happy as expected. She agreed and proposed to observe Li Linfu carefully. No one was perfect. If the other party was capable, then he could be arranged to a place where he could show his ability.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Are you still sleepy? Why don't you come to my horse? We can walk slowly. "Zhang Xiaobao was indifferent.
"It's okay. I will be fine in a few days. When the time comes, you can't bully me." Wang Juan was recalling her previous physical condition at this time. She was tired, sleepy, and could eat a lot.
"I want to, but I am not as fast as you. No, I have decided to eat more mutton and dog meat when I go back. If there is a need, turtle and ginseng can also be eaten." Zhang Xiaobao urged the horse and said jokingly.
"Then you can wait to eat ice cream every day. Don't run so fast. I still want to see the surrounding scenery." Wang Juan also urged the horse to catch up with him.
*****
In Boxin County, many people had started to learn how to make honeycomb briquettes. Carriages of briquettes were sent here, and the people made them at home according to the method given by the yamen.
Old Man Pi and the other two also made a few by themselves. They were going to use them for barbecue when the time came. They wanted to see if there was any difference between the honeycomb briquettes and charcoal. If it was more delicious, then there would be more reasons to advertise.
"I will make a few more holes on the sides of this honeycomb briquettes. This way, it will burn faster." Old Man Chang took out the honeycomb briquettes from the pressed mold and used a small wooden stick to continue inserting holes where there were no holes.
Old Man Pi and Old Man Yao did not have as much free time as Old Man Chang. After the two of them took out the honeycomb briquettes, they looked at each other and did not care about the briquettes anymore. Instead, they talked about the recent events.
"The imperial court sent Li Linfu and Cui Rizhi over. One of them is on Zhang Shuo's side, and the other is on Yu Wenrong's side. I reckon there will be a good fight when they arrive at Xin Cai County."
Old Man Pi said to Old Man Yao while washing his hands in the basin.
Old Man Yao rubbed some soap on his hands and thought for a while. "Actually, it doesn't matter who they send. Feng Changgong is finished. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo really hold a grudge. Even if Yu Wenrong wants to protect him, he won't be able to. If he doesn't, it might be better. If he really does protect him, then Yu Wenrong will easily fall into his trap.
The news sent over a few days ago already stated that other than Feng Changgong going to apologize to Xiao Bao and Cuckoo himself, no one can help him. Unfortunately, it is impossible for him to go over. When the time comes, I just hope that Li Linfu will be smart. Otherwise, once he is protected, he will not have a good time.
What Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Is that something that others can casually talk about? Don't look at it as just a few words. It can kill. Now I understand. If Xiao Bao and Cuckoo want to do something, just follow them. Don't oppose them. If you really want to oppose them, then do it through normal means.
Any evil means is useless, and you will also get yourself into trouble. The two little guys will do this. Maybe they are waiting for others to do the same. "
Old Man Yao rubbed his hands until there were a lot of bubbles. While washing his hands, he looked in the direction of Xin Cai County.
"Yes, Feng Changgong won't be able to escape. Other officials can't be too relaxed either. Xiao Bao asked someone to send a letter last time saying that there is a problem with the registrar of Xin Cai County. He asked us to keep an eye on him, especially to find a way to convince the imperial court not to act rashly and alert the enemy. However, we still have to send capable people to keep an eye on him.
Also, Li Xun's younger brother, Li Yu, also came three days ago. Isn't he now in Changning County of Ci Zhou? What is he doing here? Is he short of money? Ask for some money from me? "
After washing his hands to his satisfaction, Old Man Pi wiped his hands and said.
"I don't think it's that simple. Maybe they are secretly discussing something. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo didn't mention it in the letter. We can ask them when they come back. As long as they are not thinking of joining forces to rebel, it's fine. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo are coming back soon, right?"
Old Man Yao snatched the towel from Old Man Pi's hand and looked at Old Man Chang, who was still trying to insert the holes. He shook his head helplessly.
Although Old Man Chang was inserting holes, his ears were not idle. He was still listening to the conversation between the two. When he heard Old Man Yao say that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were coming back, he immediately interrupted, "When they come back, I must ask them why they didn't insert more holes in the honeycomb coal. Isn't it said that the more holes there are, the better the fire will be?"
"If all the coal is blown into the fire, it will burn even better," Old Man Pi retorted.
Just as the three old men were talking back and forth, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also entered the county. When the two people appeared, all the people who saw them revealed happy smiles. Whether it was the two people's abilities or the two people's appearance, they all made people feel comfortable.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan couldn't just pretend that they didn't see anything. As they walked, they returned the greetings of the people around them. From the entrance to the yamen, the journey that should have taken less than a quarter of an hour actually took them an hour to walk.
Some people even gave Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan the eggs that they had just cooked and didn't have time to eat. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't refuse. They took the eggs and rode on their horses, peeled the skin, and ate it bite by bite. Even if it didn't have any saltiness, they ate happily.
Not all officials could make the people give them eggs voluntarily. It had nothing to do with the price. Only those who were approved by the people could do it. This was also considered an honor.
After an hour, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived at the entrance of the yamen, Wang Juan's bag was already full. Zhang Xiaobao also used his clothes to carry a lot of things. The two of them didn't stop eating. They walked and ate. The only thing they regretted was that they shouldn't have eaten in advance. They should have starved for two meals.
"Grandpa Bi, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let me peel a goose egg for you to eat. " Wang Juan finally found someone who could help her. When they arrived at the entrance of the yamen, Old Man Pi and the other two people were playing mahjong next to the drum in front of the door. Recently, no one played the drum. They didn't need to care. This position was good. It could help to block the sun. If anyone was happy, they could beat the drum to express their feelings.
The people seemed to be used to it. After the early cases were dealt with, there wasn't much to do in the county. Everyone was busy getting rich and didn't have time to do anything else. The thieves also found their own jobs. They were skilled workers. They were required to have nimble fingers.
Wang Juan didn't jump down when she saw the three old men playing mahjong. At the same time, she knew that there wasn't much to do in the county. The yamen's entrance was still pasted with the pictures of the day. It let the people know how much they earned, how much they spent, and what they spent on.
There was also a plan to spend money in the future. If the people didn't agree, they had to point out the drawbacks. It was best if they could come up with a better solution. Once the solution was accepted, they would receive a medal. In the future, they would be able to come to the county and give their opinions.
Old Man Pi's forehead was full of sweat. Zhang Xiaobao watched from the side. He probably lost. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this.
Sure enough, Old Man Pi looked at the goose egg and said to Wang Juan, "Do you want me to die of saltiness? Have you ever seen a boiled goose's egg? It's all salty things that are pickled. "
"Grandpa Bi, gambling is wrong. What's even more wrong is venting your anger on others when you lose the bet. Who said that goose eggs have to be salty? Mine is bland. As long as the people find it pleasing to the eye, they won't care about it. If you don't believe me, you can try it. "
As Wang Juan spoke, she knocked on the goose egg and opened it, revealing the inside. It was indeed bland. It was probably because when the news of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returning to the county spread, someone immediately ran home to boil the goose egg and gave it to them.
If the goose egg wasn't salty, it wouldn't taste good. However, no one would say that this kind of goose egg was bad. Who didn't know that salty goose eggs were much more expensive than chicken and duck eggs?
Looking at the goose egg in Wang Juan's hand, Old Man Pi said with jealousy, "I said that I'm a minister, and I'm from the Ministry of Revenue. In the end, no one said that they would give me something. This time, you guys came back to welcome me. I'm sad. Xiao Bao, come and help me win a few rounds to comfort me."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect to encounter such a problem as soon as he returned. Looking at Old Man Pi's anticipation, then looking at Old Man Yao and Old Man Chang's warning eyes, he finally decided to make someone sad.
Thus, he said to Old Man Pi, "Grandpa Bi, my stomach suddenly doesn't feel well. I'll talk about it later. I'll go in first. It's just that I haven't eaten goose eggs on the way. Grandpa Bi, you have to remember to eat. If you lose, then lose. Money is just a worldly possession. Cuckoo, let's go."
"What money? We're playing stickers. I've already lost 20. I'm going to stick one on my face tonight." Zhang Xiaobao, who was leaving quickly with Wang Juan, heard the business behind him. His ears twitched, and he forgot about it.
*****
Two days later, Cui Rizhi still ran to the bow of the ship and sat there. He would only return to the cabin when it was time to eat and sleep. Otherwise, he wouldn't stay there.
It wasn't that it was uncomfortable to stay there, but because the wooden walls of the cabin weren't soundproof. When he wanted to say something to the advisor, he was always worried that someone would hear.
Of course, the bow of the ship wasn't soundproof either, but he could see other places. If someone approached from behind, he could immediately change the topic to prevent others from hearing what he wanted to say.
After leaving the capital, they traveled down the river at a very fast speed. However, it was impossible for them to reach Xin Cai County in a short period of time. Unless they reached the shore now and rode a fast horse, they would have to take the military rest stop.
Of course, that was impossible. Cui Rizhi also didn't want to reach Xincai County now. Today, he also asked the advisor to sit at the bow of the ship. Seeing that there was no one around, he said, "What do you think of Li Linfu these two days? Can you make him one of our people? "
The advisor had been carefully observing Li Linfu these two days. He wanted to learn more about him through his daily life. In the end, he found that Li Linfu seemed to be very kind to everyone. He always had a smile on his face and didn't get angry with anyone. Even if the advisor deliberately sent someone to say a few unpleasant words in front of Li Linfu, Li Linfu still looked so amiable.
If that was really the case, it would be a very good thing. However, the advisor was worried that Li Linfu was a person who looked one on the surface but was another person behind his back. This kind of person was actually the most terrifying. No one could know what he was thinking.
Now, many people on the ship, including the boatmen, were very kind to Li Linfu. Even the ship's cook specially made some good food for him. Other people didn't have the opportunity to receive such benefits.
He didn't know why the people on the ship of the Zhang Family and Wang Family had become like this. They had flattering smiles that made people feel disgusted, making people feel very uncomfortable.
"What? Can't you see it? "Seeing that the advisor next to him didn't speak for a long time, Cui Rizhi asked again.
At this time, the advisor said, "I always feel that something is wrong. Logically speaking, a person with a good temper like Li Linfu's can't be promoted to his current position. Such a position can't be obtained by just anyone.
Right now, many of the people on the ship have been bought over by him. He doesn't need to use money to buy people over, he just needs to lower his status and smile a bit more. Why don't you learn from him and win over the people on the ship first? That way, when you need them in the future, it will be more convenient. "
Cui Rizhi also thought so. He didn't understand. Logically speaking, Li Linfu, who should be very tough, should have been able to stabilize his position long ago. When the time came, he could have whatever he wanted. At least, he didn't need to gather others to his place to discuss bad things. When he got there, it was time to use people.
Now, Li Linfu was not gathering people. He was not like himself, who would run to the bow of the ship, look at the running water, and bask in the sun. Instead, he hid in the house all day long. No one knew what he was thinking about.
After hearing the advisor's words, Cui Rizhi thought about it and said, "If I ask him, do you think he will be willing to surrender to Gulai? After all, there is a lack of literati in that place, let alone enter Jixian Courtyard. Give them a place to enter and let them fight for it. Don't you think it will deepen the conflict between them?"
This was a very bold idea. When they were still on the ship, Cui Rizhi was ready to educate his people. It would be best if he didn't let more people participate. After dinner, he would call everyone to his side to show off his knowledge.
He had already planned that as long as someone was willing to come and show off, he would get 20% of the income of an advertising tablet.
It didn't sound like a lot, but if one really had the ability to get it, the reward for this position would definitely be a lot. However, there was also a range. He would not do this all the way to Xincai County, which was the advertising tablet on the ship.
The advisor actually wanted to persuade him again. He could tell that Cui Rizhi had never planned to give up on this matter. He wanted to pull Li Linfu to his side, but he didn't know the real situation yet. Now was not the time to make a decision easily.
Fearing that Cui Rizhi would do something wrong, the advisor advised, "My Lord, you're still too impatient now. It's better to wait until we reach the place and see what he will do. Otherwise, once he makes a mistake here, the one who will suffer will be you."
"Oh, that's fine. Then let's leave him alone for now. I will find time to talk to him and then make a decision." Cui Rizhi also knew that he couldn't speak rashly. If he really did, people would think that he was too easy to talk to, so they weren't afraid of him.
Just as the two of them were talking about Li Linfu, Li Linfu wandered out of the cabin like a ghost and stood in the same position as that day. He said to Cui Rizhi and Li Linfu, "What a coincidence, I just passed by here. I didn't expect to see you two again. Are you two idle?"
Cui Rizhi thought that this was nonsense. If he wasn't free, why would he be busy? He looked at Li Linfu and replied, "Sir Li, to be honest, I really want to be free. Unfortunately, I can't. Even though we haven't arrived at Xincai County yet, we still have to go there one day. If we don't know enough, it will easily make the people unhappy.
Therefore, this official asked the people at home. If I could find out more about that place, it would be much more convenient for me to do things once I arrive there. Unfortunately, I was in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring a map. Ai, I can only think about it now and ask for more details after we get in the car.
Of course, Cui Rizhi couldn't tell Li Linfu the purpose of his visit here. He casually found an excuse and prepared to make arrangements for the next step. "
He didn't expect Li Linfu to be so much more prepared than he was. After hearing his complaints, Li Linfu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Cui Rizhi. "Here is a map for playing games. I don't know if Master Cui would be able to use it. I think this map is pretty good. If we get to Xin Cai County, I'll draw more maps if I have the chance. From there, I'll find a better way to develop that place."
After hearing Li Linfu's words and looking at the game map he took out, as well as his peaceful appearance, Cui Rizhi suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. There was admiration, appreciation, and vigilance. If he only looked at this person's expression, he would be very easy to talk to.
Moreover, he was well-prepared. If he worked under Cui Rizhi, it would be a very good situation.
However, at the same time, it also made Cui Rizhi worried. Why did he think of bringing a map? Although the game map wasn't as good as the military map, it was still better than nothing.
While Cui Rizhi was thinking, Li Linfu still had that peaceful smile on his face. He said to Cui Rizhi, "Sir Cui, I feel that the first thing we should do when we arrive there is to meet Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. We also can't leave Prince Tong 'an behind. As for the local people, there is no need to worry. The people who have the final say over there aren't the county magistrate and registrar of Xincai County.
After discussing with Zhang Xiaobao and the other two, we will go together. If we can find out more about the situation over there from other people, it will be easier to investigate. To be honest, when I came out, the higher-ups told me to pretend that I didn't know anything and to protect someone if I could.
However, on the way here, I thought a lot. If I protect those who should be protected and those who shouldn't be protected, it will be a disaster. I also dislike officials who treat the people badly. Why don't we first meet Zhang Xiaobao and the other two when we arrive there and listen to what they have to say? Then, we will ask the people and finally go to the yamen.
If everyone treats Feng Changgong badly, Sir Cui, you will investigate in front and I will follow behind. I will not let any bad guys go, even if it means offending the higher-ups. "
When Li Linfu said this, he did not try to hide it from the others. Everyone on the ship heard it. They all looked at Li Linfu with a hint of respect. A good official. He clearly knew many things, but he did not do as he was told. Instead, he really thought for the people. A good official.
Cui Rizhi was also stunned by Li Linfu's words. Li Linfu's words were too direct, and he didn't hide anything. He just stated what he was thinking and what he should do when he arrived there.
From Cui Rizhi's point of view, Li Linfu's words were words of surrender. Li Linfu wanted to lean on his side. He really didn't know whether to rope him in now or continue to wait. He looked at his advisor.
The advisor was also very confused. He carefully looked at Li Linfu, who was standing there with a sincere expression. He didn't find any treachery, so he nodded to Cui Rizhi and Weiwei, got up and walked back first.
Cui Rizhi understood that this was a tacit agreement formed before. Cui Rizhi wanted him to follow the words first, then find an excuse to go back to the cabin and continue the discussion.
Thinking of this, Cui Rizhi said to Li Linfu, "If Sir Li can really think like this, that's great. I also think that we can't just listen to one side of the story. Even if Commandery Prince Tong 'an said that Feng Changgong is bad, we still need to ask around before we can come to a conclusion. I will go back and write a plan. Then, I will ask Sir Li for help."
After saying this, Cui Rizhi had an excuse to leave and walked back to his cabin.
Li Linfu seemed to agree. He said behind him, "Sir Cui, you have worked hard. I actually have a plan here. Why don't we put it together later?"
Another person who used to be a county magistrate saw that the people on both sides had become friendly. He lowered his head and thought for a while. He said to himself, "I don't think it's that simple. It seems that I have to think of something."
