Anshun County, inn guest rooms.

The night was getting darker, Dai Duo, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was still looking at the black clothes, boots, spears, and waist knives in front of him.

These are the equipment retained by Anshun County as "horse thieves".

Unfortunately, no matter it is clothes, boots, weapons, or the horses fostered in the county government, there is no mark on it, and it is impossible to infer the identity of these people through these things.

Even if everyone is sure that this is the eighteen cavalry among the private soldiers of the Xu Mansion, without evidence, then the identities of these people can only be "horse thieves" identified by Anshun County.

"Knock!"

Just as Dai Duo was frowning about this, his door suddenly became knocked.

I was very respectful and careful in knocking on the door. The sound was not loud and I didn't dare to knock too much.

Although it was just a few light knocks, Dai Duo heard a lot from the knock.

Dai Duo did not respond or get up, but just sat quietly, waiting for the other party to knock on the door again.

According to Dai Duo's judgment, this person would not knock on the door immediately, but would wait for a while before knocking on the door again, and the sound of knocking on the door would only be lower than before.

Then, things were really the same as what Dai Duo thought.

The people outside waited for a while before knocking on the door again, and this time, the knocking was even smaller.

"Enter!"

This time, Dai Duo responded quickly.

Because if he doesn't respond, the people outside the door will leave.

This is a villain who is not very brave but wants to climb up. You can use it, but you can only use it. This is the conclusion that Dai Duo came to in just a short moment.

And if nothing unexpected happens, his conclusion will be very close to the truth.

The door was carefully pushed open, and there was no sound during the opening of the door.

When the door was completely opened, the person outside the door stepped in and closed the door as soon as possible. He still carefully controlled the speed of closing the door without making any noise.

"Li Tuo, the chief clerk of Anshun County, Xiaguan, met Mr. Dai!"

The one who appeared in front of Dai Duo was Li Tuo, a chess piece character promoted by Zuo Qiu as a knife.

"Li Tuo?"

Dai Duo stared at Li Tuo for a while and confirmed that this was indeed the chief clerk he met when he came to Anshun County before.

"What's wrong with you?"

"When I go back to Mr. Dai, the officials have important things to report, but this matter involves your students, and the officials do not know whether to speak or not."

"Since you don't know whether to speak or not, why should you stand in front of me?"

Dai Duo smiled faintly, "Li Tuo, don't play with these petty scruples in front of me, this is ridiculous!"

"The official knew he was wrong!"

When Li Tuo heard Dai Duo's words, he knelt directly on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Facing the second-rank senior official like the Left Assistant Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Li Tuo was really anxious. But for his own future, he had to come and succeed.

In Li Tuo's opinion, this is his chance.

If he can be valued by Dai Duo for this, his future will surely be prosperous.

Among the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, the Shangshu was the first, and the Left Minister was the Minister.

Dai Duo is now the Left Minister, and it can be said that he is close to the limit of a minister. What moved Li Tuo the most was that Dai Duo was from the second rank!

In general, the Left Minister is only in the fourth rank, or in the third rank.

But Dai Duo is from the second grade!

Why how?

That is naturally because Jian is in the Emperor's heart.

Dai Duo was close to Emperor Yongping when he was still in the residence, and he was also a very talented person. His rank was earned little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little.

If he could get Dai Duo's approval, Li Tuo would not dare to think about his bright future.

In comparison, Mr. Xu, a seventh-rank Xiaoyilang, is incomparable to the point of having a daughter who was named the village leader at home.

"Tell me, what's the matter when you come to see me at night?"

"Return to Mr. Dai, the lower official has some opinions on the case of the horse thief."

"But this matter involves Xiaguan's unbearable past. I hope Dai Gong can forgive Xiaguan's youth and ignorance at that time. Don't think that Xiaguan is a despicable person because of this."

"Can!"

Dai Duo nodded slightly.

But deep down, he had already determined that Li Tuo was useless.

He is speculative, timid and inferior, and plots every step of the way.

If a person with such a character is in a high position in the future, it will not be a blessing for the people or the country.

Li Tuo had no idea that when he thought he was about to embark on a smooth road, his future was sentenced to death and he would be sentenced soon.

"When Xiaguan was young, his family was poor. In order to study, he had to borrow usury. For this reason, he was coerced by such a thief. One night, he identified Xu Huaiyi, Xiaoyi, the Xiaoyi Lang of Lingshui Village, on the road, aiming to blackmail."

"However, even the scoundrels, including the Xiaguan, were easily knocked to the ground by Xiaoyi Lang Xu Huaiyi with a stick."

"So, the lower officials think that Xiaoyi Lang Xu Huaiyi is a man with martial arts skills!"

"But in the words of the people of Lingshui Village, it is said that there are other strange people passing by, except for those horse thieves."

"The officials thought there must be something else in this!"

"Dai Gong wants to investigate the identity of the horse thief, but the lower official thinks that Xiaoyilang may be a breakthrough."

I have to say that when Li Tuo finished speaking, Dai Duo's expression became so serious.

"Did Zuoqiu know about this?"

"When I returned to Mr. Dai, the officials did not dare to speak to Lord Zuo. It was because Lord Zuo and Xiaoyilang had a very close personal training."

"I know, please step back!"

Dai Duo pondered for a moment, raised his hand and waved it.

Li Tuo had to give up.

He didn't know if he would have fallen into Dai Duo's eyes because of this, but he did his best. In his opinion, Dai Duo's ability to get a different holy favor must be unique.

The least amount is not a person who is jealous of the wise and capable.

Li Tuo left Dai Duo's room and did not turn around his home. Instead, he stayed in an inn opposite the inn.

He couldn't wait to see if Dai Duo would summon Zuoqiu.

As long as Dai Duo summoned the county magistrate, his plan would become most of it.

Not long after Li Tuo checked in the room, he saw a guard traveling in the opposite inn, and the direction was the county government.

"It's done!"

Li Tuo waved excitedly.

From now on, he is one step closer to success.

After leaning on the big tree of the Left Assistant Minister of Justice, his future is bright and it is just around the corner.

"Waiter, prepare two side dishes for me and a pot of wine, come quickly!"

Li Tuo opened the door and called the second brother, and ordered his request.

Li Tuo, who has been the chief clerk for many days, is already a big shot in Anshun County, so the inn waiter naturally recognizes him.

After listening to Li Tuo's instructions, how could the second brother dare to refuse? He could only call the chef of the inn.
