Hearing their words, Qin Shui pursed his lips. "Owner Li, you understand, right?"
"It's a routine operation," Jian Qing answered.
"Does that mean he's good at scheming?" Qin Shui was disheartened.
"The owner doesn't scheme against his own people. In the owner's heart, you mountain people are his own people." Jian Qing understood.
"That's right. We're his people. Li Dongzhu is always thinking of ways for us. Let that person … come over. If it doesn't work, I'll send troops to destroy the Yan family. "
Qin Shui was happy again. She thought about it and realized she was not being schemed against.
Li Yi did not ask for money from her. He even gave her tools, money, the location of the mine, and the method to protect the terraced fields.
Who was it again? What's Provincial Governor Lu Zhou's name? In any case, that person brought them back. Yes, that person. '
When Qin Shui was happy again, Yan Jie walked over angrily.
He was about to throw a tantrum when Wei Yuefeng, who was sitting there, suddenly coughed.
Yan Jie instantly recalled that night. Someone wanted to burn him alive. This was it.
"Eunuch Zhang, I've been wronged." Yan Jie changed his attitude.
"I know." Zhang Jiuling nodded slightly.
He looked at Huang An. "What did Bian Gu say?"
"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk," Huang An said to Yan Jie to appease him.
This was all a trick. Some played the good cop, some played the bad cop, and some tried to smooth things over.
Jian Qing gave Qin Shui a look. Her meaning was: Learn from them.
Qin Shui, who was in a good mood, nodded lightly. She just realized Eunuch Zhang was not so … so righteous. He knew how to scheme.
How would she know that Zhang Jiuling's successor would be the Grand Chancellor? How could he become the Grand Chancellor if he was not capable?
"The Yan family has been working hard in Zaiyuan County. Now that we're here to manage the border trade for the Tang dynasty, they're investigating us behind our backs. Eunuch Zhang, Provincial Governor Huang, please help the Yan family!"
Yan Jie sat down and began to explain the situation. The backyard was on fire. Someone was stirring up trouble.
Zhang Jiuling lowered his head. Yan Jie looked up angrily. "How can this be? Men, bring a brush and ink. "
"Understood!" a servant replied and went to fetch the items.
"Give me one too. I've been watching the Yan family do things. The people in Guangzhou are living a good life. Roads are also being repaired in Driving County."
Huang An added, looking as if he wanted to seek justice for the Yan family.
However, he didn't say that the people in Zhaiyuan County were living a good life, nor did he say anything about the rest of Zhaiyuan County.
He said that he was repairing the road, but he didn't mention what kind of road he was repairing, and he didn't mention how he was repairing it.
Before long, the Four Treasures of the Study were placed on the table.
Zhang Jiuling wrote first, "I trust the county magistrate of Driving Yuan County and the others. The investigation of the Yan family's corruption and crimes is not true."
It was just this one sentence. There was no beginning, and no one knew who it was addressed to. There was no signature, and no one knew who it was. However, he had stamped it with his own seal.
Huang An looked at what Zhang Jiuling had written and narrowed his eyes. He also wrote, "There are many inaccuracies in the investigation of Yan Jie and his family in Zhangyuan County. I hope you can investigate in detail."
Then, he also stamped the letter. When the ink was dry, he folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and sealed it with lacquer.
Zhang Jiuling did the same, and there was no problem at all.
The two of them handed the letter to Yan Jie, asking him to help deliver it.
Yan Jie didn't delay at all. He thanked them and ran off to deliver the letter.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you helping him? Believe it or not, I will also write a new letter to Li Dongzhu. I will tell him that you have betrayed him and that you will burn sky lanterns. "
Qin Shui was about to cry. She couldn't understand poems, but she could understand the contents of the two letters.
She looked at Zhang Jiuling with red eyes, and then sneered at Huang An.
"Don't, don't, don't. Miss Qin, listen to my explanation. Don't attack my Huang family."
Huang An was also about to cry. What do you mean? You want to lead troops to attack me?
"Tell me!" Qin Shui clenched her fist.
"Okay, okay, okay. I will tell you. The most important part of what I wrote is' not true '. Mr. Zhang also wrote the same thing. Not true? What do you mean by not true?"
Huang An's desire to live was very strong. He quickly said.
"You mean not true?" Qin Shui was still clenching her fist.
"How is that not true? For example, if you send 10,000 soldiers to attack my Guangzhou, my military officer will say that you sent 3,000 soldiers. If I say not true, does that mean that you didn't send any soldiers to attack me? "
Huang An gave an example. If there were 10,000 soldiers, he would say 3,000, and then he would give a false statement.
"Ah, it can be more or less false, right? You all didn't tell the truth about the Yan family's matter. In fact, what you want to say is more serious? "
Qin Shui instantly understood. There was an example.
Zhang Jiuling and Huang An nodded. That's right, that's it.
This saying was more common during Li Yi's time. Once something was said, the official reply was not true.
Why would they say that? There were several reasons.
They really didn't understand, but they couldn't not respond.
They knew that the problem was serious, but they thought that the local government could solve it.
If they were afraid that the local government couldn't solve it, they would cover it up. If the local government couldn't solve it, they would investigate further.
They would see if there were any problems with the person who exposed the matter. If there were no administrative problems, then were there any moral problems? Could they guide them and lead them astray?
For example, so-and-so reported the Chief of the Transportation Bureau for drunk driving and it was confirmed.
Then what? Check the surveillance cameras. Aiya, this so-and-so didn't use the crosswalk when he crossed the road.
Did everyone see that? He didn't use the crosswalk when he crossed the road. Instead, he directly crossed the road with double yellow lines.
How dangerous was that? It was easy to cause a traffic accident when the driver tried to avoid him.
If you don't believe me, take a look. How many times were there records of cars avoiding pedestrians who illegally crossed the road?
So-and-so crossed the road. Come and take a look. Where are the ghostwriters? Where are the hired ghostwriters? Hurry up.
Therefore, what they said was not true. They would retaliate against the whistleblower in other ways.
They were waiting for the government to take action. They were serious.
When the local government saw that they couldn't cover it up, they quickly said that the chief actually had other problems. Therefore, they said that it was not true.
'Not true' was a word that could be used to attack and defend, advance and retreat.
Otherwise, why didn't they say 'not true'? The difference was huge. If something really happened, they couldn't bear the responsibility.
Zhang Jiuling and Huang An used it quite well. If they said that it was not true, they would tell the Yan family to continue. They would support you.
Just wait and see. When you have a problem with your current position, they will find more problems.
"They didn't say who it was written to?" Tan Shui discovered the situation again.
"They didn't say who it was written to. Naturally, it was written to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Appointments. The minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Appointments is Song Jing." Jian Qing smiled and said.
The letter was not an official document. It was a private letter.
Therefore, there was no title. When it was sent out, others would know what it meant. This was the normal rule of the imperial court.
Did you think that what you saw in the Li Family Zhuangzi was the real Tang dynasty? Your family was just lucky.
"I'm angry. Are you bullying me because I don't understand? I want to write a letter to Li Dongzhu. I represent my Tan family … "Tan Shui was angry.
"Don't, don't, don't. Isn't your purpose to deal with the Yan family? Do you think Dongzhu doesn't understand?
In this world, how can there be only black and white? Is your Tan family's stockade really all open and aboveboard?
Isn't it what we should be doing to give hope to the weak, to give help to those who wish to survive?
At least our Winged Knights are working hard. At least the Li Family Zhuangzi is working hard.
You are a strong person. Lead your stockade to live a good life. "
Jian Qing shook his head. He tried hard to squeeze out a smile.
"Then what about Li Yi?" Tan Shui seemed to be unable to bear this kind of reality.
"His heart is the Tang dynasty!" Jian Qing, Zhang Jiuling, and Huang An said together.
