Chapter 34
The county government of Chang'an Hu County.

The county magistrate Wang Danian had a headache for a while.

Changsun Wuji's son came to say that Guanyan had been hijacked by thieves.

When Wang Danian heard that there were bandits around the Laoyu River, he was very angry.

There is a banditry in Fangzhi, and he is still robbing officials in broad daylight, which is like throwing salt in his own eyes.

If the imperial court punishes him, it will definitely be judged as a crime for inaction.

Wang Danian was about to pull out the stick and ask the county captain to go to Lu Guogong to help catch the thief.

That was the place where Lu Guogong's soldiers camped, so they could push the boat forward and pass this responsibility on to him.

But when Changsun Jing pointed out that the bandit was Lu Guogong's grandson Cheng Zheng, Wang Danian was stunned.

The two powerful and powerful people are fighting, and if they do not do it well, they will become victims.

After suffering for a long time, the county magistrate gave the doctrine.

"My lord, from the point of view of a small official, why don't you write a letter yourself, and report this situation to Duke Lu, so that Duke Lu can make a decision?"

Wang Danian frowned and thought for a while, finally nodded: "That's the only way!"

When Wang Danian's sedan chair left the camp, Cheng Yaojin began to enforce the family law.

Cheng Zheng, Ni Tu and Jia Er lined up, were pushed to the ground by the soldiers, pulled back their trousers and began to hit the board.

Among the three, Jia Er had no status or status, and he was expected to suffer the hardest. The result exceeded Ni Tu's expectations.

He was the one who suffered the most from the board.

"Ah Weng, Ni Tu expressed dissatisfaction!"

"Not convinced? Good! Tell me what you are not convinced about? If you tell the truth, I won't beat you. If you can't say it, add another forty army sticks!"

Ni Tu gritted his teeth, and yelled loudly while leaning against the board: "Aweng, who said that our three brothers are robbers? Does he have a third-party witness? If they can't find it, it means that they are spitting blood."

"What is a third-party witness?"

"In addition to the three of us, there is another group of people who have no interest in us or them, and who are at the scene, from the beginning to the end of the incident. Such people are third-party witnesses. "

Cheng Yaojin took Wang Danian's document and looked at it for a long time, but he did not find such a third-party witness.

"Not really."

"Without third-party witnesses, they are scoundrels!" Ni Tu found a loophole in the document and took the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive.

Cheng Zheng and Jia Er were ordered in advance, and they said they picked them up from the road when they were killed.

"You don't know, Aunt, the banditry has been serious recently. A few days ago, a group of bandits killed more than [-] of our government soldiers. Fortunately, the captain led people to eliminate the banditry. As a result, today there are bandits who ran away and robbed houses. Changsun Jing and the others were ineffective in escorting the officials, and they were beaten away by the bandits. Dozens of salt trucks were taken back to the camp for safekeeping, this is for the interests of the imperial court, and the righteousness is overwhelming, not only is there no fault, but it has merit."

After Cheng Yaojin heard this, a sly smile flashed in his eyes.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin call out three times, Ni Tu finally let go of his worries.

Finally, I can no longer continue to bear the board.

"Well, you cunning Ni Tu, why didn't you report this matter to me in advance so that the old man can beat that Wang Danian? If you don't report it, you will be beaten. You guys continue to beat him, and then beat him with twenty army sticks , let this kid improve his memory."

"Here!"

"Ah Weng, forget it if you beat me to death, I didn't say what you said just now!"

"It's too late! Kill your self-righteous arrogance and arrogance, so that you can have a blind date with my granddaughter."

"Ah Weng, you are using the public to blackmail your own interests, and I, Ni Tu, protest!"

"The protest is invalid, add another ten army sticks!"

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Zhi, who was reviewing the memorial by the light, was very sad.

Wu Meier led Gong'e into the room with a plate of meals, shunned the attendants around, and put the meals on the small table by herself.

"Your Majesty, drink some jujube and lotus seed soup to nourish your body."

However, Li Zhi sighed sadly, "Mei'er, you came at the right time. Take a look at Uncle Yuan's memorial. How should I criticize him?"

Wu Meier smiled and took the memorial and quickly browsed it.

It turned out that Changsun Wuji impeached Cheng Yaojin, indulged his grandson Chengzheng, boldly intercepted the official salt convoy, used force to beat the salt transport team, and privately transported the official salt back to the camp for seizure.Changsun Wuji pointed out that this was a robbery.In addition, he also accused Cheng Yaojin of raising an army privately, turning the court soldiers into his family's private soldiers, and conniving at his subordinates to behave mischievously and so on.

Wu Meier burst out laughing after reading it.

"Meier, why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at the two of them as old bones. They are still like children, and they like to have a child's temper."

"Why do you see that? From my point of view, this is clearly due to Lu Guogong's lax discipline. Such a bad incident will definitely arouse criticism and impeachment from the courtiers."

Wu Mei'er's face turned straight, she didn't say anything, after putting the memorial back to its original place, she began to manipulate the jujube and lotus seed soup.

Seeing Wu Meier's work, Li Zhi put down the brush and began to clean his hands.

After adjusting the temperature, Wu Meier brought the jade bowl to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi picked up the spoon, took a sip, and nodded: "I heard that Lu Guogong recovered from his arthralgia, and that man named Ni Tu came up with the solution. He said that he used a clay pot that was on fire and pulled out a lot of moisture. , I want to try it too.”

Wu Meier came behind Li Zhi and lightly kneaded his shoulders, and said: "Grand Duke Lu will not easily let a new thing enter the palace, unless he tries it himself and succeeds, he will introduce this person Introduce to His Majesty. Your Majesty knows Lu Guogong's caution."

"Hey! But I suffer from wind arthralgia really hard to bear, I wish I could recover tonight."

"Your Majesty's health is not only missed by servants, but also by Lu Guogong. It is only a matter of time before he can help His Majesty treat this disease."

"En!" Li Zhi nodded, put down the spoon, and drank directly from the jade bowl.

"Meier hasn't answered me yet, how should the dispute between Uncle Yuan and Duke Lu be handled?"

"My lord, do you hope that the two of you will fight this time, who will win and who will lose?"

"Naturally, this dispute can be resolved peacefully. The two old ministers are Tuogu ministers. One left and one right have made great achievements in the matter of my ascension to the throne. Whoever is hit by the board this time is a deep pain for me."

Wu Meier smiled slightly, and said: "Let me give you an example, my concubine. There are two tigers raised in the manor, both of which the master loves the most. Suddenly, one day, the two tigers started to bite desperately, and they beat each other hard. It's completely heated, do you think the master should drive the two tigers away with a wooden stick, or let them fight?"

"If two tigers want to fight, they will be wounded. If you drive them away forcibly, there will be various dangers. If the two tigers are not calm, the two tigers will fight again once the master leaves. In addition, if the two tigers fight fiercely to the peak, the master may not If you drive in a hurry, you will be accidentally injured."

"As the master, you might as well hold a stick to the side and watch the two tigers fight quietly. If their struggle goes a step further and try to kill each other, you should immediately drink the stick. If it is not too dangerous, let them It's just a fight, if one side wins, the other side will lose, and if the loser becomes decadent and convinced, the struggle will be over."

"The sage's enlightenment. Therefore, if two old ministers are fighting, your majesty should not get involved in it, lest the harm of the fight will affect your majesty. Besides, whoever you pull will be regarded as favoritism by the other party. It's better to stay away from this vortex and sit on the high ground. Here, quietly watch the tigers fight, and wait for the opportunity to move."

Li Zhi rubbed Wu Meier's words for a while, and nodded: "If you are angry but hold back, it will inevitably explode one day, it is better to draw them a little bit, let their anger come out as soon as possible, I will not make any comments, Let them handle it themselves."

Wu Meier showed a sweet smile when she heard this.

Li Zhi raised his head and shouted: "Come here, pass this memorial to Lu Guogong intact, and tell me 'I have read it'."

"Here!"
