Chapter 73

The young man said, "Master Li, please sit down. My uncle just sent a message back and said that something was stumbled in the yamen. Please wait for a moment."

It turned out to be Ge Ting's nephew.

Li Zhuohang smiled and said, "You might as well."

So sat down.

He asked again: "What do you call me brother?"

The boy said, "The boy's surname is Luo, and his name is Wuchen."

Li Zhuohangdao: "This surname is rare."

Luo Wuchen smiled without saying a word, turned around and brought a purple clay pot to boil water and make tea.

Seeing that he was gentle and polite, and was quite well-organized in making tea, Li Zhuohang praised him twice and asked a few casually, only to find out that he was studying in Huizhou Prefecture and lived in his uncle's house.

Luo Wuchen made tea, gave it to Li Zhuohang, and made some fruits. He moved a stack of copywriting and told Li Zhuohang: "This is the nearest newspaper, and my uncle copied it. He told Master Li to see it first, saying that he would come back soon."

Li Zhuohang hurriedly said, "Mr. Ge is worried."

This is his truth.

He has always maintained the line of Ge Ting because this person is worth paying, not the one who is insatiable and has received money but does not give it to anyone.

Li Zhuohang didn't wait long before reading the two newspapers, and Ge Ting came back.

The two met and greeted each other.

Li Zhuoyuan clinged to Wang Zhao and ignored Ge Ting. Ge Ting felt a little sad, but he couldn't say anything. He was just a minor official with limited ability. Could it be that he was not allowed to rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade?

After returning to sit down, he smiled and said, "I just think Mr. Li is disdainful to come to the door anymore."

Li Zhuohang knew that he was angry and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ge and I were talking about personal relationships, not social engagements on that scene, so why would he not be disdainful to come?"

Ge Ting felt comfortable hearing this.

I also thought: Although Li Zhuoyuan was not close to him, the Taiping Business Huizhou Branch gave him New Year gifts every year, which were sent in the name of Li Zhuohang. They were all specialty earthworks transported from Huzhou. This shows that Li Zhuohang was dedicated to him and did not casually deal with him, so that he asked someone to buy something in Huizhou Prefecture to send him away.

He smiled and said, "Brother Li is a person with temperament."

It was also renamed "Brother Li".

After the two of them had a breakup, Li Zhuohang asked him what was going on in sending troops to suppress the victims of Qinghua Palace and whose idea was.

Ge Ting said: "What's going on? Someone rebelled, and of course the government had to send troops to suppress it. I heard that it was the idea of ​​the Wang Censor. The governor disagreed, but Wang Censor moved out of the Wang Prime Minister and had nothing to say."

Li Zhuo Hangdao: "Who said someone rebels?"

Ge Ting said: "The news came from Qinghua Mansion. I heard that the prefect Liu was in a row and said that the victims occupied Qinghua Mansion City and raised a banner."

Li Zhuohangdao: "They didn't send people to check first, so they sent troops?"

Seeing that he looked wrong, Ge Ting asked hurriedly: "What is the secret behind this?"

Li Zhuo Hangdao: "Of course there is a hidden truth."

So he told the story of the reselling of official grain by the prefect Liu.

Ge Ting said in shock: "This is the case!"

Li Zhuohangdao: "Is this kind of thing rare?"

Ge Ting was silent.

Things like eating empty wages in the army, embezzling national treasury and silver, and greed for disaster relief funds are indeed common in the officialdom. However, it is not common for thieves like Liu Magistrate to call for thieves and openly suppress the victims as rebels.

Where did he get the confidence?

Why do the above believe him so much?

After a while of silence, Ge Ting said, "Your news is old, how many days ago. I heard them say this afternoon that, under the leadership of two thieves, the victims robbed many wealthy families in the city, went to Qinghua Mountain to set up camps, and became bandits. All the merchants and people who passed by were looted."

Li Zhuohang's heart tightened—

The victims must have been forced to rebel!

Where is Pan Yue?

The victims rebelled, how should he end?

Can Prefect Liu spare him?

Ge Ting said: "There are 30,000 imperial guards stationed in Shicun Town, Qinghua Prefecture, and at least 20,000 of them are vacant. The leading deputy general comes from the command of King Xuanwu. This afternoon, the provincial officials will discuss matters and need reinforcements..."

Li Zhuohang listened quietly and asked again: "This Lord Wang... Brother Ge's opinion, how do you act like a person all the time?"

Ge Ting said with a strange look: "Do you differ from him as a relative?"

Li Zhuohang: "..."

Ge Ting saw that he was unhappy and stopped asking him, so he told him some things about Wang Zhao in the officialdom: Wang Zhao was a branch of the Wang clan in the capital. In short, he was the clan uncle of the left prime minister Wang Heng. When he went to Huizhou, he also did several things vigorously, such as firing cement, building cement roads, and encouraging people in the mountains to grow tea. He kept talking about "Secret Wang" and "Master Liang" on weekdays, for fear that people would not know about this relationship.

However, Ge Ting vaguely revealed that he would not talk about the things Wang Zhao did, and would not have any results in three to two years. Building workshops and burning cement and repairing cement roads made it very popular, and many migrant workers were recruited. He went to the construction site to see them. The migrant workers were very miserable, and it was said that ICBC would not be paid for several months.

Li Zhuohang thought to himself that this was clearly a fox and a tiger's power.

He didn't believe that if Wang Heng and Liang Xinming learned about the situation in Qinghua Palace, they would send troops to suppress it; even if the victims rebelled, the two adults would definitely find out the inside story first, and only punish the evildoers, not everyone.

Yan Ji's side has already handed over the news. The court should send an imperial envoy soon. At present, he has no choice but to wait.

After talking for a while, Luo Wuchen came to invite him to dinner.

Ge Ting smiled and said, "Let's go and have a meal. I haven't been here for a long time. Let's have a few drinks. I have something to ask you."

Li Zhuohang asked him what was wrong.

Ge Ting said: "Brother has someone, I want to ask you to arrange an errand and make a living."

Li Zhuohang said seriously: "I have to refuse this matter, so please forgive me. Brother Ge. I want to open the door to do business to make money; if I can't make money, I would rather not open it. Last time you recommended someone, which made them complain. I would rather pay some money to help you supplement him than make random arrangements."

Ge Ting smiled and said, "Don't say that these are ugly."

Li Zhuohang smiled and said, "We have a good personal relationship, so we dare to speak out."

Ge Ting hurriedly said, "This person is very suitable, my brother-in-law. He is a scholar and has a bit of literary talent. He is a hundred times better than me. Nian Xuezheng recommended him to go to the government office to do copywriting. Because he thought the yamen was very ill and disliked and disdained to eat this bowl of rice, he was idle at home. I thought of my brother. - Your family has a great career, and there is always a place to place him, do accounting, and write copywriting."

Li Zhuohang remembered Luo Wuchen and asked, "But your nephew's father?"

Ge Ting said: "It was him. His nephew wanted to study, and he was aloof and unwilling to receive my support for nothing. I had to find an errand for him..."

Li Zhuohangdao: "You let him come tomorrow."

Ge Ting prepared a big sentence, but before he finished speaking, he could not help but be stunned and asked, "Didn't you say that you can't make arrangements? Why did you agree again?"

Li Zhuohangdao: "I see that your nephew is good."

Ge Ting choked with a "pu" sound, hurriedly put aside his face and coughed for a while, then asked, "Are you looking at your son first, and then taking him?"

Li Zhuohang smiled and said, "I'm sure I can teach such a son. Brother Ge begged me again, how dare I not obey!" When he said this, he forgot that Li Tianhua was not bad, but his father Li Zhuoran made him feel ashamed.

Ge Ting laughed and said, "You have vision. My Wuchen is a good piece of material, and your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary."

He said that, he got up and asked him to go to the table.
