Chapter 292
"Well, since Master Li said so, Ben Baylor must obey his orders. For that matter, Ben Baylor will take care of Yu Hengqing's official affairs department first. If there is anything wrong, please forgive Master Li."

Li Guangdi's intention of ostracism is too strong. With Hongqing's IQ, how could he not see it? However, Hongqing didn't intend to tear her face away. After a moment of pondering, she readily agreed. .

"Okay, Qing Baylor is indeed a straightforward person. With Qing Baylor in this department, he will definitely accomplish a lot. I am looking forward to it."

Li Guangdi originally just wanted to make things difficult for Hong Qing, but he didn't expect Hong Qing to agree so readily. For a moment, some people couldn't help muttering. He could only give a thumbs up with a smile, and praised Hong Qing severely.

"My lord Li is too much, Ben Baylor will do his best, it's just..."

Hong Qing has never been a talkative master, so it is impossible for Li Guangdi to dismiss her with a few light words. No, before Li Guangdi's smile bloomed to its brightest, Hong Qing frowned and her face was full of tears. Embarrassed, he spit out half of the words.

"Is there any problem with Qing Baylor? Let's just say it will come out. If it can be solved, I will never dare to quit."

Seeing Hong Qing's appearance, Li Guangdi's heart skipped a beat immediately, but he was soon relieved, probably because he didn't think Hong Qing would be a talkative master before, so he raised his eyebrows, seemingly generous , but in fact he responded with a lot of reservations.

"With Master Li's words, Ben Baylor is relieved. In fact, it is very simple. You know, Master Li. Ben Baylor has been in charge of Du Shuiqing Envoy for so many years. Don't you dare to say that he is handy? , but also made a small profit. Now, the river regulation and water transportation to sea transportation are in full swing, and they are all handled by Ben Belle. Yu Heng is the official secretary, but he doesn't know who should supervise these two matters?"

As soon as Li Guangdi's words came out, Hong Qing's face immediately showed a gratified smile, and she didn't say anything that made Li Guangdi embarrassed, but only said that she was worried about the river management and the change of water transportation to sea transportation. , but did not say that he would take charge of these two matters, but politely handed over the election power to Li Guangdi.

"Well, Qing Bei Le is very worried. These two matters are important affairs of the imperial court, and it is indeed necessary to be cautious. I wonder if Qing Bei Le has anyone to recommend?"

Li Guangdi is a shrewd person. When he heard Hong Qing mentioning the two important matters, he quickly thought about them. In his opinion, Hong Qing's handing over these two matters was obviously not sincere, but because there was an ambush in it. Therefore, the two matters are either in the hands of Hongqing or her confidantes are doing it, no matter who takes over, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be overshadowed. In view of this, Li Guangdi is naturally unwilling to take over such a recommendation right. With just one sentence, he kicked the ball back to Hong Qing's feet.

"Master Li, you are being polite. This is your right and responsibility. Ben Baylor dare not speak in vain, and I ask Master Li to choose a worthy person."

Hong Qing was very shrewd, she had expected Li Guangdi to have such other thoughts long ago, she secretly smiled inwardly, but she didn't show it on her face, but shook her head resolutely, and unceremoniously rejected Li Guangdi's "" kindness".

"This……"

River regulation and water transportation to sea transportation are both major events that have been registered with the old man. If they can be handled safely, they will naturally be two great achievements, not to mention that the two jobs are fat and oily, but Li Guangdi is not at all. I don't want to get involved. Firstly, although Li Guangdi is not an incorruptible official, he is definitely not a greedy person. He didn't intend to risk the world's disgrace to gain benefits from these two things. Second, it is also because of this. Both of these things were created by Hongqing. Even if Li Guangdi took over halfway, the credit would not be much less, and if something happened, he would be blamed for it. I hope that there is nothing to do with these two matters, because Hong Qing was so generous in giving the election right to Hong Qing earlier, I thought that Hong Qing would definitely accept it with a smile, but never expected that Hong Qing would be so "ignorant of flattery" ", this made Li Guangdi embarrassed, he pondered for a moment, but he didn't dare to reach out to pick up such a hot potato.

"Lord Li, these two matters are important matters of the imperial court, and there is no room for delay. You should make a decision sooner rather than later."

Seeing that Li Guang didn't say a word for a long time, Hong Qing became even more enthusiastic, and said in a persistent manner.

"What Qing Baylor said is true. Now these two matters are under the temporary management of En Erde and En Langzhong. How about listening to their opinions before making a decision?"

The more Hong Qing pushed forward, the more doubts in Li Guangdi's heart deepened. Since he couldn't figure out where Hong Qing's hole card was, he dared not express his attitude easily, so he stretched out his hand and stroked the long beard on his chest. , suggested cautiously.

"It's natural."

Li Guangdi's proposal was a normal move, and Hong Qing would not object, so she readily agreed.

"Okay, come here, go, ask En'ede to come here!"

Hearing that Hong Qing had agreed, Li Guangdi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily raised his voice and shouted loudly, Geshha, who was waiting outside, hurriedly responded, and after a while, he saw a slightly fat man The middle-aged civil servant came out from behind the screen. This person was Zhong En'ede, the envoy of Dushuiqing, who had just been transferred from Zhan Shi's mansion in the East Palace.

"The next official kowtowed to Qing Baylor, and Mr. Li."

En Erde is a servant of the prince's family. He has always been self-confident and domineering in the department, but now facing the two giants of the Ministry of Industry, he is as well-behaved as a little sheep. After entering the room, he has already walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the front, and paid respects in a respectful manner.

"Forget it."

According to court regulations, Hong Qing, who is more respectable, should have called it, but at this moment, Hong Qing was sitting upright on the ground without any intention of speaking. Seeing this, Li Guangdi had no choice but to step over. a handful.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, Long En."

En Erde didn't know what the two giants wanted to call him here, but he vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the office was a bit strange, and he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he just Maybe he thanked him according to the rules, stood up, stood with his hands down, and pretended to listen to the instructions respectfully.

"Well, Mr. En, don't be nervous. I have invited you here to inquire about one matter. Are you in charge of the Beihe yamen's water control and water transportation to sea transportation?"

Li Guangdi waited for a while, but seeing that Hongqing still refused to speak, he had no choice but to come forward and ask.

"Returning to the adults, it is true."

As soon as Li Guangdi asked about this matter, En'ede's scalp immediately tightened, not because of anything else, but because he had a ghost in his heart-although the two issues of river regulation and water transportation to sea transportation were all related to Henan Province and Beihe Governor's Yamen I am doing it, but the accounts have to come from the account of the Ministry of Industry. Although it is only a right to write off, it is not unusual. In order to fight for the right to write off these two jobs, En Erde took it With great effort, he even did not hesitate to bring out the prince, the great god, before he snatched it into his hands. In order to get enough benefits from it, En'ede has kept most of the accounts for the past half a year in his hands, and has never sent them to the Ministry of Accounts for verification. Originally, I was waiting for someone from Henan to clear it up, but I didn't expect Li Guangdi, who had just taken office, to ask about it. Seeing that Hong Qing, who had always been cruel and merciless, was also present, my heart was pounding. The kung fu of nourishing qi is quite solid, and he didn't show any gaffe, but there was unavoidably a trill in his answer.

"Well, is the bill over now?"

Li Guangdi has been in the officialdom for decades, and he has already matured. Although the panic light in En Erde's eyes only flashed, he was keenly aware of it, and his heart couldn't help but move. Faintly understood the root cause of Hongqing's pursuit of these two things, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed that Hongqing had used him to go away, but the annoyance returned to his annoyance. Those who play tricks on such important matters, their faces turned serious, and they asked in a slightly cold voice.

"This..., ah, speaking back to Mr. Li, the lower official has just settled the account, but he has not yet arrived, and no one has signed for it, so the lower official can only sit and wait. Now that the adult has arrived, the lower official will fetch the account book. After your lord signs the charge, the next official will send it to the household department for verification."

Seeing that the situation was not right, En Erde broke out in cold sweat, panicked, and hurriedly found a reason to prevaricate.

"Well, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and get it."

Li Guangdi was very shrewd, he could tell En Erde was lying nonsense just by hearing it, but he didn't intend to point it out, but instead glared at him with feigned anger, and feignedly shouted.

"Wait, it seems reasonable for Ben Baylor to hear Lord En's words before, but Ben Baylor is a little unclear. It is said that the account in July last year has not been written off until now. At that time, He Shen and Lord He seemed to be still in office. , Could it be that Mr. He has neglected his duty?"

Li Guangdi wanted to help En'ede fool him, but Hongqing didn't want to do what he wanted. Before En'ede could say yes, Hongqing waved her hand and called for a stop, breaking En'ede's face without any politeness at all. Erde's lie.

"This this……"

Although En Erde hadn't dealt with Hong Qing much, but he had heard of Hong Qing's all kinds of strength and ruthlessness. Now when he saw Hong Qing rushing out from the side, he couldn't help feeling a little out of control. He faltered for a while, but couldn't come up with a reason.

"Hmph, trash, go, get all the account books, I don't have to worry about these two things anymore!"

Although Li Guangdi is not from the Eighth Master's lineage, he has always been on good terms with the Eighth Master. Hearing that Hong Qing brought the matter to He Shen, the Eighth Master's family, he refused to let Hong Qing do what he wanted, so he pretended to reprimand him With a hand of En Erde, it can be regarded as lightly uncovering the matter.

"Ah, yes, yes, I'll go right away, I'll go right away."

With Li Guangdi's interruption, En'ede breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and rushed out of the office as if fleeing, and went to get the account book without mentioning it.
