"Brother Taozi, I've checked everything."
"Then Gao Su lives in the backyard on weekdays. There are three roads leading to the backyard."
"The three roads are guarded by a large number of soldiers holding crossbows, making it difficult to sneak in."
"We can pretend to report something, meet alone, and then kidnap him and issue an order in his name to recover the soldiers in the city."
Tian Zili talked about his thoughts.
Liu Taozi shook his head and handed the book in his hand back to Tian Zili, "Just keep it well."
"It's not yet time."
He didn't say anything more, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Tian Zili fumbled for the fragment in his hand. He was not too disappointed. His eyes flashed and he murmured in a low voice.
A night of silence.
The next day, Zhang Li got up on time and came to Cao Gong's residence in advance.
"Come in!"
Duke Cao called Zhang Li in and explained a lot of things.
Zhang Li took note of his words carefully.
After explaining these things, Cao Gong waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Just as Zhang Li stood up, Cao Gong suddenly stopped him.
"By the way. A few people came yesterday, um, four people. You deal with these four people."
"I will forgive you because you have just become a government official and don't know the rules. If this happens again, I won't forgive you."
Before Zhang Li could say anything more, Cao Gong waved his hand and drove him out.
After leaving the house, Zhang Li's expression was slightly dull, and he returned to the Sanli Courtyard stiffly.
The casual officials had already gathered in the courtyard, waiting for his arrival.
Yao Xiong and Tian Zili stood on the left and right of Liu Taozi respectively, and many other casual officials did not dare to take another look in this direction.
Zhang Li came here and looked at everyone, but said nothing.
The few petty officials looked at each other and took pleasure in each other's misfortune.
"This guy must have been reprimanded by Duke Cao. He won't be able to do this job for a few days."
Zhang Li still forcibly cheered up and delegated the tasks to be done today.
Today, I still focus on household registration matters, and I am also responsible for reception matters.
Zhang Li divided the people into two groups.
Everyone took the order and prepared to eat and then go on the road.
However, Zhang Li sat worriedly among the people and said nothing.
"Mr. Zhang, there is a noble person coming? Who are you going to greet?"
Tian Zili appeared beside Zhang Li at some unknown time and asked with a smile.
Official Zhang shook his head, "I don't know."
Tian Zili looked at Zhang Li, who was looking sad, and asked suspiciously: "What happened?"
Zhang Li opened his mouth but stopped talking.
He suddenly stood up and glanced at Tao Zi, "Brother Liu, please come into the house with me. I have something to tell you."
Liu Taozi actually stood up, and the two walked into the house together. Tian Zili stood up, hurried to the door, and sat down blocking the door.
"Brother Liu!! I really don't know what to do!"
"Cao Gong asked me to get rid of four people. I don't know which four they are, let alone how to get rid of them. I have never done such a thing before!"
"You want me to help kill these four people?"
"No! How can you kill people if you don't?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I have no idea."
Zhang Li murmured: "I have always just done my own thing. I have never offended others, and I have never even talked to others. I am not suitable to be an official."
"I told Duke Cao that I would recommend you to be the chief official. Is it okay?"
Liu Taozi looked at him calmly and asked: "Recommend?"
Zhang Li paused and quickly shook his head, "No, no, this will anger Duke Cao."
"Actually, Zhang Jun still hopes that I will kill these people."
Liu Taozi said: "It's just that you don't want to say it."
"Zhang Jun knows who these four people are. Zhang Jun knows everything. He is just thinking, I will sympathize with you, a white-haired old man, or be moved by your promise, when you said nothing and don't know anything."
, then kill those four people."
Zhang Li's face turned pale, "It's not like that"
"If you don't save yourself, who will save you?!"
"God forbid!!"
Liu Taozi said seriously, then turned and left.
Tian Zili quickly moved out of the way, and Liu Taozi returned to the original place and continued eating cakes.
Official Zhang also walked out soon. He lowered his head and stood motionless.
Everyone in the courtyard didn't care about him at all. Those few people gathered together, still talking in low voices and laughing from time to time.
After the meal was finished, people began to leave.
"stop!!"
Zhang Li suddenly spoke.
The still noisy front yard suddenly fell silent, and everyone raised their heads and looked at him.
Zhang Li raised his head and pointed at the four people, "You and other four people were flattering He Nu, Nu, but they didn't go to work diligently and failed in their work. Most of them were replaced by alternates. They were humiliated and beaten, and the food distributed to the alternate officials was withheld.
, I still don’t know how to repent!!”
"Fifty lashes!! Relegated to the waiting list!!"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Is Old Man Zhang crazy??
Yao Xiong bit the cake in his mouth and looked at this scene in amazement, watching the show seriously.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, he felt a headache, and the cake in his mouth almost fell to the ground. He covered his head and looked at Tao Zi beside him.
Liu Taozi put away her slap, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you just do what the official said?"
Yao Xiong reacted, he jumped up quickly and rushed towards those people.
"How dare you! I want to find Cao."
Before the man could finish his words, Yao Xiong kicked him in the head, causing the man to fall to the ground. Yao Xiong pushed the other man down, took off his belt and tied his hands behind his back.
Tian Zili also reacted and hurriedly stepped forward. The other two people had already stood up and started running. Tian Zili caught up with one, knocked him down, and began to tie him up.
"Get him!"
Tian Zili pointed at the last person and said, someone immediately pushed him down.
Tian Zili and Yao Xiong tied the four guys behind their backs. Yao Xiong asked Zhang Li for a whip and took off their clothes.
"Oh shit!!"
"Crack!!!"
Yao Xiong was often bullied by these people on weekdays. He seemed to have poured all his anger and grievances into the whip in his hand. When the long whip sounded on the backs of those people, the skin and flesh were split open and bloody.
, they started screaming loudly.
Yao Xiong lined them up neatly in a row, and angrily waved the long whip in his hand at the four bare buttocks.
There were screams and pleas for mercy.
Zhang Li was standing not far away. His forehead was covered with veins. At this moment, something seemed to be beating on his temples, which kept rising and falling, and there was a roar in his ears.
His face was red, his whole body was hot and stiff, and his thighs were trembling slightly.
Yao Xiong and Tian Zili took turns cracking the whip. When both of them got tired, they let the others take over.
These casual officials no longer dared to say anything more, and the eyes they looked at Zhang Li seemed a bit wrong.
They even worked harder than Yao Xiong and showed no mercy.
The four people were already unconscious and were beaten so that they could not move.
Yao Xiong dragged the two of them, and Tian Zili dragged the two of them. They appeared in the outer courtyard one after the other.
The candidates had already gathered here. They had all eaten. They could clearly hear the screams just now, but they didn't know what happened.
When Yao Xiong walked out, everyone was in an uproar again.
Damn it! It’s Yao Xiong who walked out today?!
Yao Xiong and Tian Zili threw the four people into the waiting list of officials. Official Zhang followed closely. He walked out and looked at everyone.
"You, you and you, you, the four of you, come with me."
Zhang Li selected four from the crowd.
The candidates have no idea what happened in the past few days. Some of them have been here for almost a year and have never had a chance to fill their seats.
But in the past few days, seven people have been made up for in one breath.
You know, there are only twenty-six places.
Among the four new people, three are from the law school.
At this time, there were six people from the Law School among the casual officials, and Tian Zili's eyes sparkled.
They can definitely form a force in Sanliyuan. If they can go further in the future, maybe all the officials in the county will be theirs.
"Okay, it's done. Go ahead and do your work. Don't delay anything."
As Zhang Li said, everyone bowed and said yes, then turned and left.
Only then did Zhang Li look at Taozi, and a smile appeared again on his stiff old face, although the smile was still very awkward and weird.
Zhang Li called Taozi and Tian Zili, and seven more alternate officials, and the ten of them went outside the city together.
While walking on the road, Zhang Li kept urging: "I heard that a county magistrate is coming. When he arrives, be obedient and do things. Don't say anything or even look at him. Some nobles have weird personalities. Even if they look at them more, they will get into trouble."
Something happened."
Everyone said yes.
These ten people arrived at the west city gate, where several officials had already been waiting.
Chapter completed!
