Li Dingguo, who was far away in Tianzhu, didn't know that his father and mother were talking about his marriage, and after he followed his mentor Luo Luo to crack the secret of the castle of death, he embarked on the road back to Broken Leaves, Li Dingguo After they left Tianzhu, they disguised themselves as ordinary people just like when they came out of Broken Leaves, and went all the way north, without alarming the officials along the way.On this day, they came to Linghua Town, where a Linghua County is located in Chahe County, Xindu Province, and saw a forest of merchants, people and cars, very lively.As soon as it was getting late, they found a restaurant in the town that was both an inn and a restaurant.After entering the door and looking around, I felt that this restaurant was spacious and clean, so I asked for a few first-class rooms and prepared to rest.After several of them washed their faces, the master and apprentice were drinking tea, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, so they opened the door and looked around.It turned out that a few patrol policemen came into the restaurant, all of them were not majestic, looked up and down the restaurant, and left with a few words of instructions to the shopkeeper.After a while, the shopkeeper went straight to Li Dingguo's residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he said with a smiling face: "A few guest officials, just now the county lord passed the word, tonight the newly appointed lord of the mansion is going to come to live in the town, and all the big rooms in the town will be removed."
Our house is the largest restaurant in Linghua Town, and the county lord will be here for a while to serve the wine for the lord of the house.I really had no choice but to wronged a few guest officers and changed you to a few houses in the side yard, and you will stay overnight. ”Li Dingguo has a young heart, after listening to the shopkeeper's words, he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Luo Luo hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and agreed to the shopkeeper to change the house.But he put forward a condition, that the dinner should be served according to the standard of the upper room.The shopkeeper agreed, and when he left, he took special care of Li Dingguo and said: "After a while, the county lord and the mansion lord will come over, and the people are noisy and noisy, please don't come out, so as not to provoke them." ”Li Songyi, who accompanied him, felt very uncomfortable, but Luo Luo asked Li Songyi to close the door tightly, and then said to him: "Songyun, the old man and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were originally traveling in disguise, we don't want to alarm others, in order to be quiet."
Today, I happened to encounter such a thing, so I had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not make a noise.Later, we will go to bed after eating, and the road will be counted tomorrow morning......
"Old man Luo wants to do more than less, he doesn't want to expose the identity of his group.Li Dingguo said angrily, "I have written down the matter of Chahe County, and when I return to the Broken Leaf Society, I will report it truthfully to my father, the magistrate of Linghua County, in order to welcome the official, he did not hesitate to use the public gate.....
I don't think he wants to do it......"
Li Songyi listened to it, and was silent, since Luo Luo didn't want to cause trouble here, he could only pack his luggage and move to a few simple rooms in the side courtyard with the restaurant guys.After a while, the guy brought the meal, Li Dingguo and the others had a total of seven or eight people, but the meal was only three meats, two vegetables and one soup, which was not the food in the upper room at all.Li Songyi was furious, and he was going to find the shopkeeper again and question him.But he didn't expect Luo Luo to stop him again: "Okay, Songyun, it must be that the kitchen was busy preparing a banquet for the prefect and forgot about us."
Let's just don't ask, let's just have a bite to eat. ”A group of them were eating, and suddenly there was a lot of noise outside.Li Songyi and another entourage walked out of the door to take a look, it turned out to be the magistrate of Linghua County, who led the county officials, dressed in official uniforms and court boots, discussing in the hall how to present gifts to this prefect.Some of the errand officers rushed forward and after, preparing tea, snacks, lamps, etc.A group of cooks cleaned up bird's nest, shark fin, sea cucumber, and squid in the kitchen, and the messenger outside the door held a whip to drive away the passing merchants and the crowd who came to see the excitement, "Boss, I think there is a problem in Linghua County, Ma Dan, in our Daying, there are still people who dare to act with the officialdom of the Central Plains, isn't this looking for trouble?"
”The entourage who came out with Li Songyi to watch the excitement said, he also retired from Jinyiwei, and knew that what Li Lu hated most was that his officials put on an official stand and accepted bribes, but the officers of Linghua County dared to hold whips to drive away the passing merchants and the crowd who came to see the excitement, and the most important thing was to openly discuss bribery, if Li Lu knew, hum, there were their good-looking ......
"Linghua, no, the water of this fork river is not shallow........"
Although Li Songyi retired from the position of the leader of Jinyiwei, his political understanding was still very high, and he also saw that there was a problem in this Linghua County, and there was a cat, and at this moment, he saw a patrol officer hurriedly running in, saying that Fuzun and his party were not far from the entrance of the town.When the magistrate heard this, he hurriedly got on his horse and led a large group of people to the entrance of the town to greet him.After the shop gradually quieted down, Li Songyi took the footbasin to the kitchen to get hot water.When I came to the kitchen, I saw that there were about 20 people busy cutting and washing the fish.All the stoves were occupied, there was no hot water, Li Songyi casually asked if he could boil some hot water, poor Li Songyi, a dignified prince, was scolded by a small official for a dog blood spray, he wanted to attack several times, but after thinking about it again, he still endured it.Li Songyi had no choice but to return to the room with the empty basin and truthfully report the situation to Li Dingguo.Li Dingguo was full of anger after hearing this, but although Li Dingguo was young, he also knew that the thief had to be arrested at the scene, and it was not time to turn his face, so he said that his main task was not to inspect the officials, so he advised Li Songyi to be patient a little longer, and wait for those people to finish eating before going to fetch hot water.At this time, a burst of gongs and drums sounded from a distance, and the prefect of Chahe and his party arrived, and the prefect and others gathered around the prefect to get off the sedan chair and came to the hall.The prefect immediately asked the prefect to go to the upper room to rest.The prefect drank a cup of strong tea in the upper room, and accompanied by the prefect and others, he and the entourage officials went to the hall and sat down, surrounded the delicacies of the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, and began to eat and drink.Li Songyi waited in the room for a long time, and it was not until the group was full of wine and food that Li Songyi asked a few of his entourage to take the footbasin to the kitchen again to fetch water.Li Dingguo was very unhappy by the noise outside at this time.He thought, why is it so earth-shattering for a prefect to take office?
I must find out who this person is, and see what his achievements and reputation are."
Uncle Li, you also went out to see it just now, what kind of dishes did they serve this prefect?"
Li Dingguo asked thoughtfully."
Eldest son, I see, the water of this fork river is not shallow, just to welcome a prefect to take office, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas such as bird's nest, shark fin, sea cucumber, and squid are on it......
Although our British officials are not low, but we have to eat so many delicacies from the mountains and seas......
"Li Songyi's words are very straightforward, that is, there is a big problem in the officialdom of Chahe County......
