Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 904

[Chapter 528]

Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Eight The county government made a move in the night

“Oh? Really something.” Li Longji didn’t read the content of the telegram, and only listened to Luo Bin’s words and was convinced. I looked like I was very prescient when I just sat down and planned to eat. Zhang Xiaobao of sashimi and Wang Juan said.

Zhang Xiaobao hesitated for a while, or stuffed the sashimi into his mouth, chewed it hard, and then said,

“Could it be that Xiaobei misunderstood? There is something hidden in it?”

The crime was even worse, Xiaobei never found out?” Li Longji frowned.

“Xiaobao means that Xiaobei made a mistake. Yan Zheng may not have committed such a serious crime. He may have offended Xiaobei. Otherwise, as the head of a county, why would he dare to destroy the embankment and swallow the people’s wealth?”

Wang Juan explained next to him. .

Li Longji waved his hand and said, “How is it possible? My little babe can’t be wrong. Whoever says that he is guilty, that person must be guilty. I have long suspected that something was wrong with Hongnong, but I would have acted so daringly.

” babe?

‘ Zhang Xiaobao slandered, but he also knew that the possibility of Xiaobei lying is very small. In addition to Xiaobei’s nine, there are many adults who went with him. .

Wang Juan’s eyes came over at this time, and Zhang Xiaobao looked at each other, and the two nodded at the same time.

“Your Majesty, I think it’s better for me and Juanjuan to go there in person. If Xiaobei is not stable, I may cause a big disaster.” Zhang Xiaobao said, he didn’t eat anymore, got up and left, and Wangjuan followed after him. .

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and asked, “Then, what should I do about Qiuwei?”

“Next year, let’s take a spring test for the two of us.” Zhang Xiaobao was actually afraid that the very daring Yan Zheng would do something more daring. younger siblings are in danger.

Watching Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan disappear from sight, Li Longji pondered for a moment, then picked up his chopsticks again, and instructed: “The decree, this year’s autumn season will be postponed for one month, and all students who apply for the exam can go to the Imperial College with the application certificate. Get a certificate of board and lodging, eat and drink in the two properties of Zhang and Wang, yes, that’s it, I don’t have any spare money to spend.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” If my son can invite all the people of Chang’an to eat and drink for ten days, he will naturally not care about the students.

“Xiaobao, are you really going to Hongnong?” Wang Juan, who followed Zhang Xiaobao, asked for confirmation.

“Go, I suspect there is something else hidden in this matter.” Zhang Xiaobao’s brows filled with a trace of melancholy, and he

quickened his pace.

“What’s the secret?” Wang Juan asked after wiping the rain on his forehead without even bothering to hold an umbrella.

“Do you still remember ten years ago when we didn’t come? The mayor of a city blew up the dam and flooded three counties on the grounds that the flood water was raging and the gate of the reservoir was rusted?” Zhang Xiaobao reminded.

Wang Juan rolled his eyes, recalled, and said, “He was going to destroy a building complex at that time, and even if he did not flush the building complex, it would not be able to withstand the heavy rain. The quality was too poor. He was involved too deeply in it. Hongnong’s Yan Zheng also intervened in local construction? Impossible, the quality of human construction projects can still be guaranteed, and the people are not bad enough.”

“Perhaps to cover up other facts.” Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly came to receive His own carriage approached, and two horses were unloaded from the carriage, one was given to Wang Juan, and the other was ridden by himself, galloping towards the train station.

The rain was still falling, and lightning bolts illuminated the dark night sky. In an inn in Hongnong County, Li Bai, who was covered in layers and sweating profusely, felt much more comfortable.

Pretending to be someone from the Zhang and Wang family, Li Bai received the diligent care of the inn staff. Not only did he get a bigger room, but he also changed a new bedding. He even placed two lampstands to take pictures of the house. brightly lit’.

Li Bai drank bowl after bowl of ginger sugar water. He didn’t eat when he was hungry, but drank soup. The bedding wrapped around him was soaked and changed every time. Although there was no electric light in the room, it was better than anywhere else.

Seeing the guy being so attentive, Li Bai was moved several times and wanted to reveal his true identity, but he was afraid that the guy would suddenly change his attitude, so he had to apologize secretly.

“Sir, are you cold?” A guy who was waiting to serve Li Bai in the room sat in front of the lamp for a while and asked Li Bai.

“It’s not cold anymore, it’s hot.” Li Bai remained seated, his eyes still looking out from the half-open window, and then he asked, “Do you think Ma San has gone the wrong way? It’s been half an hour since he went there. I have

n’t come back yet.”

“Don’t worry, adults, it may be that there is a lot of water outside, and the little three ran out to hide from the water. It is estimated that it will be soon.” The man comforted.

“That’s good, that’s good, don’t conflict with the people in the yamen.” Li Bai said, still worried in his heart.

Since being misunderstood by the man as a member of the Zhang Wang family, Li Bai has heard many unbelievable words from the man’s mouth.

The first thing to know is that the flood in Hongnong is man-made. Around Hongnong County, there are many people sent by the yamen to guard, especially the railway station, and no one is allowed to leave.

This is a big crime, and the county magistrate Yan Zheng dared to do it.

Secondly, in the period before the water ran out, a game popular in Hongnong’s county town was not a lottery controlled by the state, but something called a freight ticket.

Use money to buy bills, bills for various goods, the price is floating when buying bills, every ten days, the yamen announces various prices, some have risen, some have fallen. The person who sells the bill of goods will naturally make a profit, and vice versa.

The interesting thing is that the price fluctuation of the freight ticket does not affect the price of various materials in the county. If the person who bought the freight ticket does not sell the freight ticket, the goods will still arrive. If it happens several times, the more people who buy it. more and more.

The reason is that the price was very low when I bought it a few times before. Even if the price of the goods dropped, as long as the goods were not sold and the goods arrived, the purchase price would be lower than the normal purchase price of the goods in the county, which is very cost-effective. .

It’s just that I don’t know how to do it recently. The prices of many things in the county have risen, and the prices of freight tickets have also risen. The rate is not small, and it has far exceeded the normal prices before.

Li Bai couldn’t figure out what was going on for a while, but he felt that it was abnormal and worried that Wang Wei would not be stable in the yamen, so he asked a guy to take a look and try to find out some news.

He waited anxiously for another quarter of an hour. When Li Bai was about to let a buddy meet him again, Ma San, who went to inquire, finally ran back in rain.

“How?” Li Bai asked nervously after seeing Masan.

“Go out… go out, all go out, there are many people.” Masan replied.
