Chapter 281

"It's natural! Mrs. Xianzun, you have saved the puppy. It's too late for us to try to repay you. How can we join forces with thieves to frame you?" Master Wan vowed.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly: "That would be the best."

After this matter, Cui Pu and his party stayed here for another night, and after enjoying a sumptuous seafood meal, they turned back to Hailing County the next day.

There was no stop along the way back this time, and it took them only three days to get there.

However, adding up the previous and the last, it still took a full two days longer than the three days Wu Lixin stipulated at the beginning.Zhou Zhifu failed to accomplish what he promised Wu Lixin, and was severely scolded by Wu Lixin, feeling extremely annoyed.

When Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao returned to Hailing County, Zhou Zhifu had already selected a house for Hejian County King. The place was in Hailing County, but it was far away from the county government. Good place.

In Zhou Zhifu's words: "The reason why the king of the county got this disease is because of emotional distress. This time he came to Yangzhou to recuperate, so he naturally needed to find a place with beautiful scenery. In this way, you only need to look at the flowers and plants outside every day. The mood can be improved a lot. Moreover, this place is not far from the county government office, and the time of the car is only a stick of incense. If you hurry up, the time can be shortened by half. The officials think it is just right, what does the county king think? "

"The prefect of Zhou thinks it's good, so it's good. This king lives there!" Prince Hejian nodded with a smile.

The prefect Zhou was very happy: "Then I will order someone to help the county king to move today! The place has already been cleaned up and everything is complete. You just need someone to go there."

"Okay!" Prince Hejian obeyed unconditionally as always, and immediately obediently followed Zhou Zhifu.

After sending this Zhenshan Taisui away, when Zhou Zhifu came back, the aura around him was much stronger.

"Cui Zhi County, you have let me down so much! I entrusted the king of the county to you to take care of me, but I didn't expect you to leave the king behind and go out to enjoy yourself. Do you have this mansion and the county in your eyes?" King, is there a saint today? If the county king did something wrong under your rule, what should you do!"

Again.

"Aren't you worrying too much, prefect? ​​The king of the county is so big, and there are so many people around him, how could something happen? Besides, as the official of the parents of Hailing County, I have to go around a lot when I first come here. Walk around so that you can get a complete picture of the county from where you are. This is the plan that the subordinate officials have made when they came back, and the subordinate officials of Tianchang County have done this before, so you should know." Cui Pu responded neither humble nor overbearing .

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, the official is not an official of the palace, so there is no need to surround the county king all day long. And when the county king arrived in Yangzhou City, the official didn't see you surrounding the county king all day long. Turn around! Didn’t the county king also come to seek medical treatment by himself that night?”

If it wasn't for the purpose of ensuring that the memorial would be recovered, wouldn't he have thought that he would not have personally sent King Hejian?Zhou Zhifu secretly thought.

The safety of Hejian County King is indeed important, but his own official career is the top priority.Therefore, weighing the two phases, he still chose the thing that is most beneficial to him.

To put it bluntly, he was sure of Hejian County King's soft and talkative temperament, and knew that he would not be angry, so he put him down with peace of mind.And when he was done with his own affairs, he came over slowly and pretended to accompany the Hejian County King to confess his mistake, and the Hejian County King would definitely forgive him.In this way, the matter will be exposed.

Best of both worlds!

But now that Cui Pu has caught this matter as an excuse to criticize him, Zhou Zhifu still feels guilty for a while.Then he quickly sank his face: "That's because it was too late, and the government had important arrangements for the next day, so I really couldn't get away. Later, the government also quickly dealt with the important matters at hand, and rushed to report to the county king as soon as possible. Have you apologized?"

"Then the arrangement that was made before I was dismissed from office can't be abandoned. Is the livelihood of the people of Hailing County not as important as the safety of the Hejian County King alone?" Cui Pu immediately retorted.

How did he respond to this?

Zhou Zhifu secretly scolded Cui Pu for being cunning, with a mouth that was too sharp like a knife, and changed the subject cheekily: "For the sake of the county king's safety, the government will not pursue this matter further. Right now There is one thing that you must explain to the government!"

"Prefect Zhou, are you going to talk about the road construction in Tianchang County?" Cui Pu said immediately.

"So you know it too? The government still treats you as if you don't know anything about it!" Zhou Zhifu sneered.

Cui Pu also laughed. "Xiaguan does know. But it is a matter of Tianchang County. Xiaguan is now from Hailing County. Even if he knows, it is not good to intervene, so he can only pay attention to it silently. After all, it is also Xiaguan The place where I have sweated for three years, Xiaguan has been looking forward to it getting better and better."

shameless!Shameless!
Zhou Zhifu cursed in his heart.In Chang'an before, others always called him shameless for flattering Shangguan, but now it seems that this kid in front of him is obviously more shameless than him.At such a young age, the level of shamelessness is already catching up with him!
"Since Cui Zhi County hopes that Tianchang County will get better and better, why did you stop the funding for road construction in Tianchang County?"

"Prefect Zhou, are you joking? For road construction in Tianchang County, Tianchang County should pay for it itself, right? Back then when the lower officials were county magistrates there, the money for road construction came from the county treasury and sold by myself every month. The sweet potato money was collected, that is, it was taken from the people and used by the people. But now the officials are no longer from Tianchang County, and the restaurant that our brother-in-law opened together has closed down, but you still let us use the money to repair it Road? Aren’t you just stealing from the rich and giving to the poor? Presumably, even if the people in Tianchang County knew about it, they would definitely not agree to it, right?” Cui Pu said solemnly.

You fart!How many days has your restaurant been closed?In the past six months, you have accumulated a lot of money, and all of that money has flowed into the pockets of your brothers-in-law!
Thinking of this incident, Zhou Zhifu hated Cui Pu even more deeply.

He just asked someone to find something for Weiji Restaurant, just a little warning, telling them to be more sensible and hand over the money quickly, so as not to make everyone tear up their faces and make it difficult to behave.In the end, they were fortunate enough to close the shop directly!A notice was also posted on the door of the restaurant, saying that it was rectified behind closed doors at the request of the government, and the door will not be opened until the rectification is completed!
This is throwing the pot to the government.A large number of tourists who rushed to taste the "Tianchang County Sweet Potatoes" were furious when they saw the notice, and went to the Tianchang County Government in turn to ask for an explanation.Wu Lixin had been idle for several months before, but now he was repeatedly bombarded by Lizheng Lixu and tourists who came to ask for money, and he was going crazy!
Fortunately, Lizheng Lixu said that these people were all from Tianchang County after all, and they were still waiting to ask for money from him, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous.

But tourists are different.These people are here to give money to Tianchang County, and Tianchang County has relied on them for the main financial income in the past two years, and that is the God of Wealth of Tianchang County!Even the county magistrate has to be careful about making offerings.

But now, the Gods of Wealth got angry together, and finally gave him an ultimatum directly - explain what is wrong with Bai Wei's restaurant and need to rectify it, and then give a time for opening, they don't want to wait there forever!

Wu Lixin was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days.

He didn't dare to vent his anger to the God of Wealth, so he could only write a letter to scold the prefect of Zhou.Zhou Zhifu was also furious, he didn't expect Cui Pu to be so shameless!What's more, he didn't expect that since Wei Zhuang got together with Cui Pu, he would also calmly embark on the path of shamelessness.

It's obviously a trivial matter, but it has been publicized by them as a huge matter!
And after a few days of fermentation, some people have already started conspiracy theories—this matter must be led by the new county magistrate of Tianchang County!He has always been at odds with the former county magistrate, and when he was the county magistrate of Hailing County, he had secretly caused a lot of trouble for the former magistrate.Now that people are in Tianchang County, how can they watch the restaurant of the previous county grandpa raking in money here?
What's more, the profit of this restaurant is really horrible, they are all jealous, not to mention the current county magistrate who has an enmity with the previous county magistrate?Therefore, now that the restaurant is said to be closed behind closed doors, I am afraid that when it reopens, the owner behind it will change hands!
Ah bah bah!

Although the restaurant makes money, why would they do such a thing for this little money?Although Wu Lixin really wanted to do this.

But after returning to Chang'an years ago, the Wu family and even Concubine Wu Hui had already taught him a lesson in turn, telling him to put the overall situation first and not to cause trouble again.So now, they just want Cui to take the initiative to spend most of the proceeds to continue building roads in Tianchang County!

Just judging from the current situation, do you want them to take money?Difficult!

"After all, this matter was advocated by you, Cui Zhi County, and you have already done half of it. Now that you have left a mess, don't you plan to take care of it? You are not afraid that the people of Tianchang County will resent you for it. You?" Zhou Zhifu asked coldly.

"Xiaguan thought that Xiaguan had already made a very detailed plan before leaving. As long as Wuzhi County follows the plan made by Xiaguan, in another year or two, this matter will be successfully completed. There are some rumors about the mess." Cui Pu still had such a serious expression.

Now it's not a matter of planning or not, but money, money!

He raised money with him, but this person talked about him, it's really hateful!
After talking round and round for a long time, Zhou Zhifu was also tired, so he asked directly: "Let's put it this way, now both the prefecture and Wuzhi County are dedicated to making Tianchang County a better place. But to build roads for all the towns below , It costs a lot, and Wuzhi County will not be able to get it for a while."

"Hey, don't you have anything to do with Zhou Zhifu? I remember that the treasury of Yangzhou government has always been very full!" Cui Pu said casually.

It is the treasury's business to fill the treasury. How can he embezzle the treasury to build roads for Tianchang County?What if the county magistrates in other places know about it and they come to demand the same treatment?No matter how full the government treasury is, it is not enough to build the entire Yangzhou City to extend in all directions!

"Cuizhi County, just tell the truth to the government, what do you want before you continue to pay?"

Just cut to the chase and say no?He had to play word games, he was almost exhausted if he wasn't tired!

Cui Pu smiled lightly: "The requirements for the lower officials are not high. Since we continue to pay for the repair of this road, then you must give us some benefits. After all, we are not in Tianchang County now, so continue to talk like this." If we let others know about our contribution, we will be fooled and burn too much money!"

You are stupid people with a lot of money!Zhou Zhifu continued to curse in his heart.But after finally waiting for him to relax a little, he still asked patiently: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"In fact, our request is also very simple. We built this road, and the road also needs to be named. Why don't you let me and my brother-in-law name these roads!"
