Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 711 Backhand
As Fu Tianchou entered the court without being summoned, the atmosphere of the officials immediately became a little strange.

Civil and military officials who don't know that Fu Tianchou is a firecracker. He will blow up anyone he sees, even his political opponents, and his own people. That level of relationship, coupled with being a lone minister, has long been kicked out of the court.

I thought that last year's Yangzhou disaster relief would see this old guy who didn't want to be dismissed, but who knew that Li Xiuyuan would be killed halfway, and he would be rescued from the inevitable situation.

"Small ones are not fuel-efficient lamps, and old ones are also hateful." All the civil servants looked at Fu Tianchou with undisguised disgust in their hearts.

It seems to be a lump of dirty and smelly things in the hut, which people can't avoid.

"Fu Tianchou, you are already wearing a crime. It is disrespectful for you to enter today without being called, so you should retreat quickly." A civil servant immediately scolded.

Although Fu Tianchou's words before were helping himself and others, but now all the civil servants agree, so why should this Fu Tianchou come out to focus.

"Zhuzi is rude. When I was an official, you were still playing with mud in the village." Fu Tianchou immediately retorted; "Even if the old man is a criminal official, he is also a Jinshi, a scholar, and has advice. It is my duty to have the Tao to feed the king, and to take care of the king. What does it have to do with you to give advice to the officials?
, You dog official, do you want to mislead the country? "

"Fu Tianchou, how dare you humiliate this official?" The civil official was furious when he heard the words: "Want to ask for a snoring?"

"I'm afraid you won't succeed. I have never been afraid of anyone in the fights above the court." Fu Tianchou rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight him.

The colleague on the side stopped the civil servant: "You must not act recklessly."

But the civil official couldn't bear it. He was called a dog official, and he couldn't bear it in front of the officials. If he could bear it, wouldn't it really make the officials think he was a dog official.

"I can't let this Fu Tianchou ruin my reputation. If you insult me, don't blame me for disrespecting you as a veteran." The civil servant rushed forward angrily, and there was a burst of tearing, as if a scholar was desperate.

"This old man beats you, an inaction dog official. You stand above the court in official uniform. You don't think about serving the country or the people. All you think about is the dog's business. If the old man doesn't beat you, who will you beat?" Fu Tianchou took it seriously. When he was able to do it, he knocked over his official hat with a slap, and then they fought with each other.

"Why are you fighting again, Mr. Fu, can't you stop for a while?"

"Wouldn't it be a joke for everyone in the world to fight at the meeting? My lords, please stop."

The other officials persuaded them.

However, for some old foxes above the court, it is no surprise that they are not surprised. When they meet political opponents, they can't settle disputes. It is a common thing to fight in the court. Had a fight with this Fu Tianchou.

Although Fu Tianchou is single and weak, he is good at fighting.

He has never been at a disadvantage in fighting above the imperial court, how could the civil servant of the household department fight Fu Tianchou.

After a while, other officials pulled away the civil servant, only to see that his hair was disheveled and his face was bruised and purple. On the contrary, Fu Tianchou was a little complacent, showing a victorious look.

"Bah, dog officer, you have ghosts in your heart, so naturally you are no match for this old man." Fu Tianchou couldn't help mocking.

Looking at this scene, Li Xiuyuan understood in his heart why this Fu Tianchou had such a big hatred in the court, and the enemies who felt your affection were all beaten out by you.

"Damn it, you are so rude. If I hadn't let you in, how could you be my opponent, stain my innocence, and deceive others too much." The civil official still argued unconvinced.

Zhao Guanjia on the dragon chair yawned, as if he didn't notice the fight just now.

"Fu Aiqing, I have already had people investigate what happened last time, but it was nothing but fiction, so I called Fu Aiqing into the palace this time to prepare to reinstate you as an official, and this trip to Yangzhou, Aiqing suffered a lot. .”

Fu Tianchou was moved to tears when he heard the words: "The old minister is satisfied with the words that he has an official family. The loyalty of the veteran to the court can be learned from the heavens. Yangzhou provides disaster relief. There must be young people above the court who deceive the saints." Cong, thieves are hateful, it doesn't matter if you mislead a veteran, but it is unforgivable to mislead the country and the people

Big sin. "

"As soon as the old minister came back today, some villains really couldn't wait to jump out and criticize the old minister. His heart is to be punished, and I would like to ask the officials to learn from him."

"Fu Tianchou, you are slandering me. My loyalty can last through the ages. You are so hard to get along with me and ruin my innocence over and over again. I will fight you."

The previous civil servant blushed and his neck was thick when he heard the words, and almost hit him again.

But luckily he was held back by the colleague next to him, otherwise he would inevitably be beaten up by Fu Tianchou.

At this moment, Master Yang suddenly said: "Master Fu's previous words are true? Do you really agree with Inspector Li who is in charge of the Shangyuan Festival fire and Fang Shengyu's assassination?"

"Of course, what the old man said could be false, and I ask the officials to issue an order." Fu Tianchou said.

Master Yang's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't understand what kind of trick he was playing with Fu Tianchou, but as long as it didn't affect his ability to keep Li Xiuyuan, he could ignore it.

"Li Aiqing, are you willing to take charge of this case?" Zhao Guanjia said.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan felt that his eyes could kill people, and he felt that he had already killed Fu Tianchou.

Has this old man been locked in prison for a long time, and his spirit is not normal?Don't you see that these civil servants want to crucify themselves in the capital?

He believed that as long as he stayed, it would be difficult to return to Yangzhou.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the national teacher, but at the moment the national teacher was calm, obviously not intending to help, maybe it was in the interest of the national teacher to stay in the capital.

In that case
Li Xiuyuan said: "Since Lord Yang and Lord Fu have recommended me, I will boldly take over as the magistrate of the capital, thoroughly investigate the case of the Wutong Jiao demon, and ask the officials to give me one month. Within one month, the case will definitely be cracked and the court will be given a trial." Confession."

"Why is Inspector Li so confident? If the case cannot be solved after one month, what should I do?" Lord Yang asked.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If I can't solve this case, I will resign and return to my hometown, and I will never become a scholar."

"Okay, this is a military order. You can't go back on your word in front of the officials." Master Yang clapped his hands and smiled.

After all, he is a young man, he can't be provoked, and he is hooked immediately.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course I won't go back on my word, but I still ask the officials to grant my request, otherwise this case will definitely not be solved."

"I don't know if Li Aiqing has a request, I will consider it as appropriate." Zhao Guanjia said.

"Please allow me to transfer the six gates of the capital. I have no subordinates in the capital, and I am not familiar with the capital. If the six gates help me, I will not be sure to solve the case." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Sure." Zhao Guanjia nodded.

If he disagreed with this, wouldn't it be obvious that he wanted to kill this Li Xiuyuan?

"Thank you, official." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Officials, during the investigation of Inspector Li's case, there was no one in Yangzhou, so I recommended someone to act as Inspector of Yangzhou temporarily." Suddenly, Zhang Yuan from the Ministry of Officials stood up and spoke.

According to the previous plan, during the period when Li Xiuyuan stayed in the capital to investigate the case, he was going to seize the position of Yangzhou governor first.

But before he finished speaking, Master Yang gave him a wink and stopped him from recommending this time.

Only then did Zhang Yuan wake up suddenly, and immediately retracted his words. When he looked at Li Xiuyuan, he felt the cold eyes and immediately understood that Li Xiuyuan was breaking the boat, and he saw clearly what he was waiting for. purpose, so the deadline is only one month.

You can't take away someone else's governor's position while someone else has issued a military order with a one-month deadline to investigate the case, can you?
"Surviving death? It's a clever plan." Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

They were going to cut flesh with blunt knives and weaken Li Xiuyuan's power step by step. They started with his subordinates, who knew he had cracked it, and then forced him to stay in the capital to be a magistrate. Finally, they recommended a temporary replacement by themselves. The position of governor of Yangzhou. If all goes well, Li Xiuyuan will be tied this time

The king of Jiushan came to the capital to offer rewards, but he will get nothing.

If he can't get the position of the governor of Yangzhou, and if he can't get the rewards from his subordinates, even his position as the magistrate of the capital will eventually be lost.

In the end, this Li Xiuyuan will not only leave the capital in disgrace, but also bear the notoriety of being dismissed by the officials.

It's just that this brat is also smart, he has kept the rewards of his two subordinates, and he has a chance to fight to the death, so that he won't lose completely.

But this is enough, without you, Li Xiuyuan, they will still have the final say in Yangzhou in the future.

Many civil servants thought to themselves.

As for Li Xiuyuan, his face was as usual, unmoved, neither angry nor annoyed, as if he had already made up his mind about this matter.

With the passage of time, today's court meeting is considered to be over.

As the eunuch sang: retreat.

The civil servants also began to leave the palace one after another.

"Eat the king's salary, worry about the king's worries, don't blame the old man for cheating you, because the old man knows that you have the ability to solve this case, those people above the court can't, they are all people who are rich and powerful, fighting for power , but it is absolutely impossible for them to handle the case." At this moment, Fu Tianchou came over

, said with a serious face.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking, do you know that I can't help but want to hit you?"

"You dare." Fu Tianchou stared, and became aggressive: "You are the son-in-law who has never been married, you want to commit the following crime?"

"You still know that I'm your son-in-law? Father-in-law, are you forcing me to make trouble in Yangzhou?" Li Xiuyuan said through gritted teeth.

Fu Tianchou raised his brows: "What backhand did you keep in Yangzhou?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's nothing, but if I can't go back to Yangzhou, I will let Yangzhou have a mutiny. At that time, there will be no one available in the court. I will naturally be sent to Yangzhou to quell the chaos. After all, those mutiny troops are under my command. It would be best for me to appease you."

"You, how dare you be so rebellious? You want to be defeated because of a little power?" Fu Tianchou was shocked and angry.

This must be the idea of ​​some old literati surnamed Li.

That old literati is very vicious, Li Xiuyuan must have been taught badly by him, dare to use such tricks.

"It's just a fake mutiny, just a little commotion, I can't kill people, I have a sense of proportion."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Besides, kindness does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, my father-in-law, I was forced out of this, I can't help it, it is not easy for me to get to this point, if it is because of the reckless actions of these civil servants in the court, Yangzhou If there is another disturbance, who will be responsible? Is it still me to clean up the mess?

"

"So, I hope my father-in-law understands that I have too many burdens to take a step back, and I also admit that I can't fight these old foxes above the court, but they have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder, I can't beat them, and I won't lose to them, so please Master Fu look forward to me

The case can be solved within a month. "

After speaking, he bowed his hands and gave a salute, then turned and left.

He knew that Fu Tianchou was impartial and selfless, and wanted to stay in the capital to serve the imperial court, and shackled those corrupt officials, so that he could work with him to clean up the imperial court and save the country.

But he didn't know that it was absolutely impossible for Li Xiuyuan to stay in the capital.

He also resolutely does not want to set foot on the court, fight wits and courage with these civil and military officials, and kill time.

Only now did Li Xiuyuan understand why he and Fu Tianchou didn't get along well.

It turns out that the way is different and we don't conspire with each other.

Fu Tianchou watched Li Xiuyuan leave, with a worried look on his face, because he knew that these civil servants would definitely get in the way, and it would be very difficult to solve the case within a month.

But if the case cannot be solved within a month.

Yangzhou must mutiny.

When the time comes, there will be internal and external troubles.

It's just that this step is the worst policy in Li Xiuyuan's mind.

He still has the second strategy in his heart, but he hasn't displayed it yet.
