Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 123 Dao is one foot tall and devil is one foot tall
Liu Dapao has been very busy recently. At this time, he is preparing a simple version of concrete in the backyard.

After all, Chaozhou will be used as the capital of Nanming in the future. No matter what, we have to build a palace for others, and we have to build some central offices. The original general office is not enough anyway.

The imperial palace, after all, is the face of a dynasty, and I dare not compare it with the Forbidden City, but it must not be too shabby, not to mention that he wants to maintain a super loyal political posture, so it must be repaired, but once this Chenghai City is currently in short supply of land, and the land is extremely expensive. Liu Dapao is really reluctant to build the palace too big, and there is not such a large open space to requisition. Secondly, it is a bit too much to build a palace on a large scale, blind man It can be seen that this is a rebellion, and the risk is too great.

So Liu Dapao thought, since it would be more difficult to adjust the area, why not just think of a way in terms of height and build a few tall buildings.

The steel bars will definitely not be fired, but Liu Dapao heard that there are many bamboo-reinforced concrete buildings in modern times that can survive for a hundred years. No, they are experimenting. If they can be made, the new palace can save a lot of money , and the entire Chenghai can be built higher and higher in the future.

While studying, Wu Shuntian ran over in a panic: "My lord, something happened, something happened, something big happened!"

"Why are you in such a panic, the San Francisco rebellion? Or the gunpowder factory bombed?"

"That's not it."

"That's fine."

"Wei Chunhua's urban management office has arrested your transfer envoy, Yu Jackie."

"what?"

Liu Dapao was surprised: "What's the situation?"

"Today at noon, the urban management yamen received a report, saying that there was a guest from out of town who thought the food was too expensive and refused to pay. After being detained in the prison, when the urban management officers searched for the man’s package, they found a set of third-rank official uniforms and the seal of the transfer envoy, and now the entire urban management office is frightened."

The chengguan yamen is not an official court yamen, and those chengguan are not official officials, they are all temporary workers, arresting and imprisoning the third-rank officials of the imperial court, if this matter is put on the line, the whole yamen will have to be cut down up.

"This... This is a misunderstanding, why don't you let him go, and ask Mrs. Wei to apologize to him and compensate him with 800 taels of silver?"

"I apologized a long time ago. Wei Chunhua personally kowtowed to him to admit his mistake, but Yu Jackie didn't get in, so he sat in the prison and refused to come out. He was determined to make things big and pierce the sky , go and have a look."

"Grass, you can really find something for me!"

After thinking for a while, Liu Dapao ordered: "Prepare the horses, and arrange for me a guard of 200 people with guns, and give me the guard of honor in order. I will meet him in person."

After all, Yu Chenglong is also a newly-appointed member of the third rank, so there is no need to be serious with mere Wei Chunhua. He does not look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha. Come by yourself.

On the way, Liu Dapao asked Wu Shuntian, "Have you found out the specific background of Yu Jackie Chan?"

"I only know that it is Jin Guangzu. He became an official in Shunzhi in 18 years and served as a county magistrate in Luocheng, Guangxi. At that time, Jin Guangzu was still the governor of Guangxi. He once praised him as Zhuoyi. It was a big step forward. He successively served in Hezhou and Huangzhou , and Zhuo Yi, the governor of Huguang, made another big step forward and came to serve as your luck envoy."

"In just a few years, I have been promoted from the eighth rank to the third rank. It's fast enough. As soon as I took office, I couldn't wait to show me off. What does Jin Guangzu want to do?"

As he was speaking, Liu Dapao had already arrived at the gate of the city management yamen, and Wei Chunhua greeted him with great enthusiasm, and shouted: "Oh my lord~, you are here, if you don't come again, I can't live anymore~ You have to make the decision for me~"

Liu Dapao hurriedly said: "Aunt Wei, don't panic, don't panic, are you still in prison?"

"I'm here, I won't say anything."

"lead the way."

So Liu Dapao was in prison like this, and met Yu Chenglong for the first time.

I saw this person about 40 years old, with a thin body and a Chinese character face. He was sitting cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest his mind. When Liu Dapao came, he didn't even open his eyes.

Liu Dapao had no choice but to take the lead and said: "Master Yu, what is this for? It's all a misunderstanding. In this way, for my sake, let's forget about it today, okay? Aunt Wei, I think tonight, you In the Lichun Courtyard, set up a few tables of wine, and invite all the dignitaries in the Chaozhou government and the people, and you will serve the wine yourself to Mr. Yu to make an apology, and then make an apology."

Yu Chenglong slowly opened his eyes when he heard the words, and said: "Liu Zhongtang came here at the right time today. I took office today as a new official. It was just a matter of time for a meal. I was kidnapped here by this group of thieves, kidnapped, and detained the imperial court official. Zhongtang , I thought that this group of thieves had clearly committed an act of treason, and I asked Zhongtang to order someone to take them down and hand them over to Xingtai and the Ministry of Punishment for deliberation."

"Your Excellency, this is just finding fault. In this way, you come out first and talk to me back to the house. If you have any requirements, please mention them one by one. Let's discuss and deal with it. This is the head office. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. If you are satisfied, you can't just live here tonight. You are a majestic court official, do you look so good? Let the people in the market know that it will not only damage Aunt Wei's face, but where will you put your face? Where is the face of the general manager of Chaozhou Yamen? Come out."

"You can go out if you want to be an official." But he pointed at Wei Chunhua and said, "She has to come in."

Wei Chunhua's face immediately changed when she heard this, she couldn't figure it out, what happened to Jackie Chan, everyone didn't know each other, there was a misunderstanding, and she apologized and kowtowed, why did she just kowtow? It's endless, is this really going to punish her to death?

This Wei Chunhua is also from the bottom of the market. Seeing that the soft ones can't do it, Liu Dapao still can't do it, but he immediately decided to be tough, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily: "You, surnamed Yu, have to fight with my old lady today. Right, it’s only natural for you to be a dignified third-rank official if you don’t give money for meals. What’s wrong with me? You’re shameless. Come on, I, Wei Chunhua, have never seen anything before. Tell you that I’m not afraid of you! Today I will let you You know what I grew up eating."

As she said that, Wei Chunhua picked up a big stick and wanted to cut him.

Seeing this, Liu Dapao quickly hugged Wei Chunhua to stop him, and at the same time, he was really a little scared. If Wei Chunhua really beat people to death, he was afraid that he would really raise the flag to rebel before San Francisco. Also prepare a fart.

He said to Jackie Chan: "Yu Chenglong, it's almost done. Mrs. Wei's son is Wei Xiaobao, the governor of the Zhenghuang Banner. You made the old man so angry, how can you explain to Wei Dutong?"

As he spoke, he continued to wink at Wei Chunhua.

Seeing this, Wei Chunhua groaned, threw the stick, covered her chest, and sat down on the ground.

"Oh, my heart~, ouch~ ouch, I'm so dizzy~ I'm about to be pissed to death by this bastard."

Seeing this, Yu Chenglong was unmoved at all, and said: "Wei Dutong is the deputy capital of Zhenghuangqi, and I don't care about me, a Han official, Zhongtang, but I just want to ask you, who is this woman in front of you?" Officials, merchants, or bandits?"

"How are you doing?"

"If he is an official, please ask Lord Zhongtang to produce an official official document and print it out. In this way, Yu is not a messy person. If he is a merchant, I have stipulated that merchants are not allowed to wear silk and satin, and I will ask you to change it for him. Clothes, stay in the prison, hand over to a judge, if he is a bandit, it will be even easier, please kill him in the name of treason, so as to make an example to others."

Liu Dapao sighed when he heard the words, although he was annoyed by Yu Jackie Chan's stubbornness, he had to sit down beside him and explained: "Chenghai City has developed too fast from scratch, and the population from other places is too large. Many, that’s why we had to set up this city management yamen, where money is collected and spent, and transactions are kept on accounts, and it’s under our general management yamen, and we ask for your understanding when extraordinary times are implemented.”

"I don't understand. It's the job of the county government to maintain law and order. Since Master Zhongtang has established this city management government office, what does the county government do?"

"There are only a few arrests in the county government. Now there are about 50 to [-] permanent residents in Chenghai City, almost all of whom are foreigners. This is not a volume that a county can manage. It must be upgraded. The county is a prefecture, and even on the basis of the prefecture, we need to expand the establishment, and the papers are delivered to the imperial court, and they must be discussed at the King's Council for discussion. I am afraid that there will be no result in three months or five months. Do you have to act urgently?"

"Even if the matter is in a hurry, the Chaozhou magistrate's yamen can send people to manage the matter. It can follow the example of the Tang and Song Dynasties and recruit bad people to manage it under the Chaozhou prefect's yamen. It can be managed by officials from the Chaozhou government. Public security matters are not what our chief yamen should take care of, let alone let her take care of them!"

When Liu Dapao heard the words, he was speechless for a moment.

In the final analysis, Liu Dapao certainly knew that it was inappropriate to let Wei Chunhua manage the matter of law and order, but if he really let go and handed it over to the Chaozhou prefect's yamen, after all, he is not the Chaozhou prefect now, so he is not at ease after all. It is also troublesome to use.

Seeing this, Wei Chunhua stopped sitting, stood up and said: "I understand, Yu Chenglong, you just want to punish me, and you don't even give Zhongtang face, right? Okay, I will let you see my old lady ability."

Liu Dapao frowned and said, "Aunt Wei, he came after me, so don't meddle in it anymore, go out first."

"No, you go out, I don't believe my old lady, I still can't cure him? Come, someone, pick this Yu Chenglong up for me."

"Aunt Wei, what are you doing..."

As she said that, she saw Wei Chunhua take off the jewelry from her head, and actually... was taking off her clothes.

"Don't you want to take off my clothes, take them off, let's take them off together, what are you doing in a daze, take off his clothes too, today I will find a father for my son."

After all, he took off half of his clothes, hugged Yu Chenglong's head and kissed him, as if he was going to put Yu Chenglong on in the cell in front of Liu Dapao and everyone today .

Rao Yu Jackie, who prides himself on being upright, is now overwhelmed by Wei Chunhua's bold move. He has never seen this before. Seeing that Wei Chunhua was about to take off his pants, he was so scared that he would I couldn't pretend anymore, and screamed: "What are you doing! What are you doing!! You are so disgraceful! How decent! You are shameless, I want more! Help, help, Zhongtang, just take care of her! !"

The so-called nonsense, that's what it said, this Wei Chunhua is also the imperial wife, Wei Xiaobao's mother, if there is something that has to be said between these two people, he and Yu Chenglong will not be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths.

Could it be that he could still say that Wei Chunhua raped him?
What face do you have to be this official?
In case there is another backlash, Wei Xiaobao has multiple fathers for no reason, how can he stand the trouble?
Although his official position in Jackie Chan is small, he is not even afraid of Liu Dapao and Wei Xiaobao. He relies on reasoning, that is, he walks upright and sits upright. Wei Chunhua's actions like this will directly destroy him!
Liu Dapao saw that he was funny, and immediately said: "Then what, let's avoid it for a while, so as not to delay other people's good deeds."

Yu Chenglong repeatedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong! I'm going out, Mrs. Wei, let me go and I'll go out now. I promise I won't pursue it, I won't pursue it!"

Only then did Wei Chunhua stand up contentedly, wiped her mouth, put on her clothes unhurriedly and said, "Isn't it enough to be like this early, toast and not to eat fine wine."

Then he gave Liu Dapao a look: "What an easy thing."

Liu Dapao was also shocked, and gave Wei Chunhua a big thumbs up.

Seeing that Yu Chenglong got dressed and ran away from the door in a panic with the rouge mark on his face, Liu Dapao followed up with a smile and said, "Master Yu, are you going back to your mansion? I have already seen your mansion." It's ready for you."

Yu Chenglong wiped his face, snorted, and said: "I can let this matter go, but there is one more thing, I hope Zhongtang can clear up the confusion for the subordinate."

"What's the matter?"

"I've heard people say that Yao Qisheng, the Tong Zhi of Chaozhou, enforces the law fairly and is a good official. He sued your confidant Wang Ping for corruption and breaking the law, but now Wang Ping is fine, but Qianjiang has been sent to prison, and Yao Qisheng is nowhere to be seen. There are rumors in the market that no one can see a dead body, it’s not very pleasant to say.”

"Wang Ping's case was instigated by Qianjiang. He was the one who was really corrupt and perverted the law. This case was tried by Yao Qisheng himself. He passed the Guangzhou yamen. As for Yao Qisheng, Mr. Yu will not really believe the rumors in the market."

"I don't believe it either, but I don't know where this Yao Tongzhi is now?"

"This person used to be the magistrate of Xiangshan County, and he has an old relationship with the Portuguese in Macau. I sent him to Macau to take care of the liaison."

"Maritime trade matters are the affairs of our chief yamen. Why do you want to send officials from the Chaozhou magistrate's yamen to handle the affairs? Don't you think this is absurd?"

"There is a shortage of people in the general manager's yamen, and I used to be the magistrate of Chaozhou. Isn't it appropriate to borrow some people from the magistrate's yamen to help me handle government affairs?"

"The position of Chaozhou prefect is temporarily vacant. Once the civil affairs should be jointly represented by the Tongzhi and the Tongju, now that the Tongzhi is in jail and the Tongzhi is on a business trip, who is in charge of Chaozhou's civil affairs? Master Zhongtang thinks this is the way Is it suitable?"

"Who told you that the position of the prefect of Chaozhou is vacant. The new prefect Liu Xuanchu has taken up the post a few days ago. I have already discussed with him. I don't need you to worry about this matter."

"That's good, the official thinks that since the official has come, it's better for us to take care of the affairs of the yamen. If the matter of Macau is really so important, why don't you transfer Yao Qisheng back and let me go to Macau to deal with it?" Government affairs, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Liu Dapao couldn't help frowning and said, "Yu Chenglong, it should be the first time we meet today, I have sinned against you in the past? Do you have to fight against me to such an extent?"

"Yu Mou is just doing something honestly, Zhongtang, you are able to bring Chenghai from being poor and white to the grand occasion it is today, and you are indeed worthy of the words "Unparalleled National Scholars". Yu Mou also admires you very much, but Zhongtang, Chenghai belongs to the court. Chenghai, it's not Chenghai of you Zhongtang alone, please also Zhongtang, respect yourself, that's all for now, I'm leaving, I'll go to formally visit Zhongtang tomorrow."

　Let me thank you boss again, um... I can't move anymore, my neck hurts from doing it to me.
