Chapter 1137 "Blessings"

It is not too much trouble to arrest Li Pengju.

Guo Yiyu's previous concern for him would not be that he would be concerned about the Li family, not himself.

However, Li Pengju, despite not resisting, was arrogant.

I think in his heart, even if Guo Yiyu takes him back to the yamen today, he will send him out obediently later. After all, it is related whether the Li family is in the province or in the capital.

Guo Yiyu has the support of the governor, which is to teach the Li family a lesson.

Even though he knew that Li Pengju's two brothers were in the officialdom, he was no longer as timid as before. He was standing up for Tang Zhiyu. If the Li family dared to find a debt, it would not give Tang Zhiyu face. He wished that the Li family would be tough at this time and cause some trouble, so as to connect his relationship with Tang Zhiyu more closely.

After more than a year of officialdom, Guo Yiyu has already understood that what is compared in the officialdom is not knowledge and talents, but the backing behind him.

It was because he had no backer that although he spent tens of thousands of taels of money to make the magistrate in a shortage, he was constrained by local gentry.

Tang Zhiyu, the backer, has certainly reached his foothold, and he is naturally full of confidence.

What Cao Yong was curious about was the woman pretending to be a female ghost.

After all, a woman is weak and can be as light as a swallow. She is definitely not an ordinary person who climbs over the wall and is admitted to the hospital. And even though she knows that she is facing an official, she can also perform well in singing and writing, which shows her fearlessness towards the government.

In order to prevent the other party from escaping, he spoke to Tang Zhiyu and divided several people to stare at the front and back doors of Li Pengju's house.

The Li's house in the west of the city is just Li Pengju's residence, and the old man of the Li family lives in the north of the city.

Li Pengju was just taken to the yamen, and the great-grandfather of the Li family had already received news and brought a few nephews to the yamen in a carriage.

When Guo Yiyu avoided him, Mr. Li realized something was wrong. When he asked about the reason and knew that his son was sued for the restaurant, the old man of the Li family felt that it was not good.

Knowing the power of the Li family, he dared to hand over the paper to the yamen; Guo Yiyu changed his attitude, and the other party would definitely not be a person with weak power.

Although Mr. Li donated his fame and fortune, he was only able to show his prestige to the common people and had no right to interfere in the government affairs of the county government.

While he asked someone to look for the county magistrate to speak, he also asked someone to go to the ward to find his son-in-law.

Where can I find the county magistrate?

The county magistrate had been passed by Tang Zhiyu, and there was a testimony from his disciples. After leaving the county government last night, he went to Li Pengju's restaurant.

The county magistrate was a veteran of many years, and he was the most slippery. When he saw the story of the matter, he immediately took out himself. He was afraid of the responsibility and did not dare to bite Li Pengju. He only said that he met an old friend last night and drank a few cups, and the news of the arrival of the governor was accidentally leaked at the table.

As for the consequences caused after the news leaks, it has nothing to do with him.

Tang Zhiyu would not immediately become a county magistrate. Just listen to this sentence, which proves that everyone’s inference is correct and that Li Pengju was not wrongly accused.

In addition to one of the charges of "black off on power", Li Pengju added another one, "colluded with assassins and peeped at the government office."

Five hundred governors have arrived in Jinghai City.

Cao Yong ordered Liang Chuanfu to bring fifty governors and follow the yamen runners to surround Li's house and capture the "female ghost".

He was also gambled for luck. The few places that Li Pengju often appeared were not suitable for women to show up, and the possibility of being in Li's house was greater.

Among the dozen maids and concubines, the beautiful woman stands out from the crowd and is very conspicuous.

When Liang Chuanfu asked her about her origin, she was also vague. After several servants in charge of the house, she only knew that she was Li Pengju's guest and lived in Li's house for a while.

This woman was not a kind person. Seeing something was wrong, she wanted to escape but was stopped by Liang Chuanfu.

Even though she is smart, she is usually unable to get close to her. However, Liang Chuanfu is a general who has been on the battlefield and easily took down the woman.

After a sudden trial overnight, Li Pengju was usually tough, but he could not bear the charge of "colluding with assassins and spying on the government office."

If it were normal, it would be fine, but this charge would not be a damnation. Now the governor is staying in the county government office and admits this charge. Who knows what to do to wait?

The word "official" is opened, and if it is tilted, he is detained as "collusion with an assassin and assassinating a local official", it will be difficult to protect his life.

The two evils are chosen as the least, and instructing people to go to the county government to perform a "female ghost" farce, which will not affect life and death.

Compared with this, the restaurant blackmailed 150 taels of silver is nothing.

Li Pengju thought clearly in his heart, but he was unwilling to speak easily. He had hope in his heart, hoping that his father and brother-in-law would find a way to get themselves out.

However, when he came up, he was stripped of silk clothes and beaten twenty powerful killing sticks, which made Li Pengju dare not be lucky anymore.

Li Pengju couldn't tell the identity of that woman very clearly. She was a disciple of a Taoist friend of his, and she had several martial arts passed down from family.

When Tang Zhiyu handled Li Pengju's affairs, Cao Yong was not idle either, so he asked Liang Chuanfu to take the five hundred governors to the Tianjin Pacific.

The thousand households in this institute are Qin Gang, the son-in-law of the Li family.

He had received the news and returned to the city to deal with his brother-in-law's affairs, but was stopped outside the yamen. He heard about the people coming from the garrison, so he hurried back to the garrison.

Qin Gang failed to achieve both the simplified military training and the training.

He thought that Tianjin Wei was remote, so he was reluctant to give up his salary.

Regarding the article "Sword Jian", he nominally streamlined dozens of old and weak soldiers, but in fact, he used these people's names to collect hundreds of acres of official land from Jinghai County. These old and weak soldiers became his tenants.

The training of troops was even more a formality, and everything in the ward was the same.

Liang Chuanfu was an old man in the army. After looking around in the garrison, he could see it at a glance.

Cao Yong had already learned from Guo Yiyu that Qin Gang had misapproved the official land and asked Liang Chuanfu to take the governor to the garrison, but he just wanted to verify it again.

He was very disappointed with this result, but he was helpless.

He did not stay in Jinghai any longer, and said to Tang Zhiyu, leaving him with fifty flags, and then took the rest back to Qingyuan.

Before returning to Qingyuan, he wrote a secret letter to Yongzheng, mentioning the experiences of Jinghai and his party.

The local land annexation is serious, the gentry is engaging in power, officials are erect and slandering, and the training of troops is very difficult.

Cao Yong knew that like Qin Gang, he would not deal with one or two people. When the people came to the capital in June, he might have to dismissed some military officers. He submitted a memorial in advance and reported one or two in front of the imperial court, so as to save the number of military officers involved in the time being and he would be suspected of conquering power.

After returning to Qingyuan, Cao Yong saw from the mansion that Russia invaded the border. The Heilongjiang General brought musketeers to resist foreign humiliation. In the end, he drew two times. The court sent people to redefine the border with him.

"Why is it not peaceful..." Cao Yong thought hard, but he couldn't think of any wars in the Yongzheng Dynasty.

After all, in his previous life, he did not study Qing history, and only knew a rough idea of ​​the historical events during the Kanggan period.

Song Hou and Jiang Jian were both looking forward to Cao Yong's return, because Yongzheng had issued an order to order the governor of the world to submit a memorial to the governor of Nian Gengyao to submit a memorial and express their opinions.

This is not a hint in the past memorials and replies, but a clear imperial edict.

Even if Cao Yong was not interested in putting in trouble at this time, he still had to think about how to report the report.

If Cao Yong pretended to be stupid at this time, he might have caused the emperor to vent his anger.

Nian Gengyao was powerful, and Nian's family's relatives and relatives were spread throughout the officialdom, especially the famous "Annual Selection" in the past two years, which made the Northwest officialdom a one-man show of Nian Gengyao.

With Nian Gengyao's resignation, I don't know how many people followed him.

Now that things have come to this point, Cao Yong is not good enough to offend Yongzheng in order not to impeach Nian Gengyao.

"Nian Gengyao is arrogant and rude, and everyone in the world knows it. Just write a few words based on this." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

As for revealing Nian Gengyao's detailed "crimes" and putting various big hats on him, they left them to others.

Not to mention the enemies Nian Gengyao offended in the officialdom, the court and local officials who came up with Nian Gengyao's thighs were very wrong, and even Nian Gengyao would be very wrong, and he would say it would be 100% if others did not need to add any weight to them. Nian Gengyao was already a crime of death.

Cao Yong rushed back to Qingyuan before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the happiest thing was Li and Chu Yu.

In addition to the family reunion, good news also came from the capital, and the sixteenth prince had a legitimate son at the end of April.

"Blessed by the Bodhisattva, Aunt Sixteen will finally be happy." Chu Yu and the Sixteenth Confucian are about the same age as each other and have good relationships among relatives, so they are very happy for him.

Cao Yong knew that the Sixteenth Prince was looking forward to the landing of this legitimate son, and he was also happy.

However, Chu Yu remembered another thing, but felt confused: "Two days ago, my mother wrote a letter and mentioned something. Uncle Sixteen will accept the concubine at the end of the month. Aunt Sixteen has added a legitimate son to the royal palace, which is a hero, so why should Uncle Sixteen accept the concubine at this time?"

"Oh?" Cao Yong was also surprised when he heard this.

Although the sixteenth prince was romantic when he was young, he became older in recent years and became less concerned about women. The concubine of the royal family repeatedly wanted him to accept the concubine in the past two years, but he didn't let him go. In the end, he just added a concubine to the concubine.

"Maybe it was Taifu Jin's attack?" When talking about Taifu Jin, Cao Yong also disappointed him.

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. If Uncle Sixteen was willing to submit to the arrangement of Taifu Jin, he would have carried the concubine into the mansion. My mother said that this was strange. Some people said that it was the concubine whom Uncle Sixteen asked to marry, and some said that it was given by the emperor. No matter what, it was very shameless to accept the concubine at this time. Uncle Sixteen is really true. If you don't say anything else, you will say that Aunt Sixteen died of four children, and Uncle Sixteen should also protect it."

She is also a wife and a mother. When she mentioned this, she felt a little complaining in her tone.

When Cao Yong heard this, he felt aroused his heart and remembered these business deals in Qingyuan City.

At this time, the Sixteenth Prince gave the concubine to the concubine, which looked like Yongzheng's style.

If the Sixteenth Concubine had a chance before the birth of the little prince, if the offspring in her belly was affected, she would be afraid that the Sixteenth Concubine would be resentful and sad; if the little prince landed, it would be nothing if he disgusted the Sixteenth Concubine.
