Datang romantic little landlord

"Just play tricks and turn the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty into a fool. I'll see what you can do to pay for it!"

"Hey, who let him keep pestering me to be a teacher, I can't help it." Li Wangyou said with a smile.

After finding out who Ma Zhou was, Su Changqing quickly asked the old housekeeper Li Heng to lead Ma Zhou to take a bath and change clothes, and then asked the little maid Pei Lan to prepare dinner for Li Wangyou and the others.

Satisfied with wine and food, Ma Zhou actually stopped being in a daze. Instead, he asked the old housekeeper for a weighing instrument, and went into the room to do experiments by himself.

Li Wangyou shook his head, and ignored him, let Peilan make himself a cup of Yaowang tea, and whispered to Su Changqing under the bright methane lamp in the main room.

"Changqing, tomorrow I will accompany Laocun to Chang'an County to hand over an errand. If there are no accidents, the things I expected before will probably happen." Li Wangyou put away his smiling face and said seriously.

Su Changqing looked worried: "Wangyou, must it be like this? I'm worried that there will be an accident, so let's forget it?"

Li Wangyou pretended to be relaxed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, did you post the invitation post for me?"

"It's been sent, and I asked Niu Yong to deliver it."

He whispered again: "If you beat a snake, you won't die, but you will suffer from it. I'd rather take a little risk, but it's actually not very dangerous. As long as the guests come, I should be fine."

Hearing what he said, Su Changqing could only nod his head in agreement, but his heart was still full of worries.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Li Wangyou accompanied the old village on their way to Chang'an City's county government office.

Chang'an City is divided into east and west counties, Chang'an County in the west and Wannian County in the east.

Chang'an County's county seat is in Changshoufang, and the old villager has been here many times, so he led Li Wangyou to Changshoufang with his familiarity.

At the gate of the county government office, the two tied up their horses and asked the government servants to enter Tongbing. Dingzhou Village, Hu County, was begging to see Sihu to join the army.

The yamen servant went in and made a sound, and soon came out and brought the two into the county yamen.

Compared with the Huxian county government that Li Wangyou is familiar with, the scale of the Chang'an county government is much larger.Turn around Zhaobi, and there is an archway in front of you, with the words "Chang'an County" written on it.

The corridor paved with blue bricks under the archway is [-] meters long.

At the east end of the corridor, there is a drum for crying out for grievances, for the common people to beat the drums to cry out their grievances; at the west end, there are two stone tablets with the inscription "False accusation plus three grades, and the more you sue, the more you complain."

At the end is the county government hall, which is the place where the county magistrate is promoted to hear cases.

On both sides of the corridor in front of the lobby, there are officials, civilians, and ceremony rooms in the east, and soldiers, criminals, and workshops in the west. This is the functional office of the yamen.

They were brought all the way to the houses on the east side by the yamen servants, and the yamen servants reported back: "Li Sihu, the village of Dingzhou Village in Hu County is being brought here."

A white-faced and beardless middle-aged man walked out of the private house, wearing a light green official uniform. Li Wangyou knew that this was the member of the Li family who joined the army as the secretary in the Huxian county government.

"Qian Cunzheng, isn't your village transferred to Yinzhou to transport grain in the spring? What are you doing here today?" Li Sihu asked impatiently, his tone quite unfriendly.

The old village is clasping hands: "Back to Li Sihu, our village has completed the task of adjusting the spring this year, so I'm here to make a difference."

"What? It's finished? Your village will transport grain for a thousand shi to Yinzhou this year for the spring transfer! It's only been six or seven days, and you say it's finished? How dare Er'an play tricks on me!" Li Sihu listened to the old villager If it was true, he roared furiously.

Li Wangyou pursed his lips, and interjected, "Why is Li Sihu so angry? Our village's adjustment to the spring has naturally been completed, and there is a certificate from the Yinzhou Warehouse as proof."

Li Sihu stretched out his hand: "Bring me the receipt!"

Lao Cunzheng quickly took out the receipt from his pocket, and handed it over respectfully: "Please check with the sihu, our village has indeed completed the task of adjusting the spring."

Li Sihu grabbed the receipt and looked it over carefully, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.According to the receipt, the Ding households in Dingzhou Village delivered the official grain at the Yinzhou warehouse three days ago.

He couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, and looked again at the secret marks and stamps on the receipt, and they were all correct!

How can this be?

Li Sihu couldn't believe that this slip was true even if he was beaten to death. He pointed at Lao Cunzheng and said angrily, "Nonsense! This slip is clearly forged by you! We will send a thousand shi official rations to Yinzhou Warehouse within three days." , are you a fool for being an official?”

Arranging for Dingzhou village to transport official grain in the spring was naturally ordered by the patriarch of the Li clan in Hu county.

Its purpose is not only to delay the spring plowing in Dingzhou Village, but the Li family has even more vicious backhands.

Li Wangyou didn't know, because the speed of the four-wheeled carriage was too fast, they escaped unintentionally.

Xu Jingzong, a man from Yin, came up with even more insidious tricks for the Li family in Hu County.

He asked the Li family in Hu County to send people to set off early, and when they were resting at the post station, they poured sewage on the official grain at night.

At the same time, he sent people to Yinzhou to buy off the subordinate staff in the Yinzhou warehouse.

At that time, when the Ding households in Dingzhou Village worked hard to transport the official grain, the subordinate staff would refuse to accept the contaminated grain because there was something wrong with the official grain.

The subordinate staff in Yinzhou Warehouse naturally had a reason to reject the grain that had been splashed with sewage.

In this way, the missing official rations had to be made up by the small households in Dingzhou Village themselves.After returning to Chang'an City, Li Sihu also had an excuse to punish them again.

In short, according to Xu Jingzong's plan, Li Wangyou and the villagers of Dingzhou Village, this time, they will lose their skins if they don't die!

But who would have imagined it, because Li Wangyou built a four-wheeled carriage, and the speed of the grain transportation team far exceeded Huxian Li's expectations.

The people they sent were still waiting for the grain delivery convoy at the station on the way, and they went to Yinzhou to buy the subordinates. When he arrived in Yinzhou, Li Wangyou and the others all returned to Chang'an City.

Li Sihu was naturally clear about all these plans, but he never imagined that the plan Li had planned for a long time had now turned into a joke.

This made Li Sihu extremely aggrieved and furious.

However, Li Wangyou opened his mouth to tease Li Sihu: "The truth can't be fake, and the fake can't be true. Can't Li Sihu understand the stamp on this slip? Can you still tear up the slip and arrest us? "

What he said was purely to provoke Li Sihu.

Unexpectedly, Li Sihu, who had already become angry from embarrassment, actually grabbed the receipt and tore it into pieces.

"What receipt? I didn't see it!"

Li Wangyou felt happy in his heart, now it depends on the strength of the guests he entertained!

Seeing that Li Sihu tore up the receipt, Laocun was in a hurry, but Li Wangyou showed an imperceptible smile on his lips.

Lao Cunzheng didn't know Li Wangyou's plan, and Li Wangyou didn't communicate with him about his plan for fear of scaring the old man.

"Li Sihu, how can you tear up this receipt? We really transported all the official food to Yinzhou, this is absolutely true!" Lao Cun was throwing himself on the ground, desperately collecting the fragments of the receipt, thinking To fight back.

"How dare you talk nonsense! You two unscrupulous people, you don't cry when you see the coffin. You actually want to forge a receipt and deceive this official! Come on! Arrest these two people for me, and put them into prison. Prison, waiting for the Ming government to punish you!"

Si Hu's joining the army, as an official position under the seventh rank, is not conspicuous in the Chang'an county government, but it is still an official position with real power.

The servants of the Chang'an county government naturally obeyed his orders.

Sihu joined the army and was in charge of the county government and private houses. People who resisted corvee had the right to put them in prison and wait for the official punishment from the county magistrate.
