Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 167 Premeditated
The old chief who was kicked out of the case by Li Buqi knocked on the door of Liu Shi, the assistant censor and deputy envoy of Yantie, just after dark that day.Cangtou who answered the door knew that Tongnian, an official of his own family, had been walking around frequently with officials recently, so he hurriedly informed him.Soon the old master was led to Liu Yushi's study.

The first thing Liu Yushi said when he saw the old master was: "Brother Shan, you are too Menglang!"

Liu Yushi himself is the deputy envoy of Yantie, so it is naturally impossible to hide the matter of the third division from him.The old boss said, "You know everything?"

"Of course I know. It is indeed wrong for Li Buqi to use these trivial matters to take the examination for the Jinshi. It's just that his family is upright, and it will not be useful to bring the lawsuit before His Majesty with such trivial matters. Now brother Shan is leaving like this It is difficult to meddle in the affairs of the Zhou case, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess."

"However, how can such an insulting thing be tolerated?"

Liu Shi knew that this Tongnian actually only liked drinking a little wine and reciting poems and odes, and he was completely incomprehensible in practice, so he was just dawdling in the case, and he was ranked behind in the performance appraisal every year.However, compared with those officials who were born in Enyin, this same year has an advantage, that is, he was born as a top three Jinshi, and he can call himself a noble scholar.

So this person who didn't answer Li Buqi's question in the same year must really not know it, and "disgraceful" is just a shield.But he won't tell the truth about this matter. The civil servants are not willing to talk about the facts. Not only are they bothering, but they are easy to cause trouble.So Liu Shi immediately changed the topic: "It's just that there is no good elder brother staring at Li Buqi in this way, I'm afraid I won't get his fault."

The old boss took a sip of tea and said confidently: "There is no need to worry about this. I think Li Buqi is a man who can make troubles. When he first arrived at the case, there was such a trouble. I don't know what happened in a few days. In the four years in Zhou'an, I know everyone well. In the past two months, I have made some arrangements, as long as there is any trouble, I will naturally know."

Liu Shi is now a little disappointed with this same year, and the old boss is not the only one who has placed eyeliner in the case, so he just nodded perfunctorily to the old boss and said: "This matter needs to be bothered by brother Shan."

The old boss blushed slightly: "That's natural. It's just that brother Zizheng, Li Buqi said that he wanted to impeach the old man. I'm afraid it will affect the old man's performance evaluation. This matter..."

Although Liu Shi looked down on this Tongnian in his heart, he thought that he and a group of civil servants in the case had expressed that they wanted them to help bring down Li Buqi. Others might think that he was the instigator of the old chief's handing in the blank paper.In this way, if the same year is not arranged well, I am afraid that it will have a negative impact on future plans.He feels a little cocooned now.

In the end, he had no choice but to give the old boss a guarantee: "Brother Shan, don't worry, many people will not be used to Li Buqi humiliating scholars like this. Li Buqi may not be able to impeach you. Since you can't stay in the case, I Tell Ji Xiang to let you go elsewhere."

One of Liu Shi's official positions was Liuneiquan, the same judge of the Ministry of officials.Liu Neiquan supervised the examinations of low-level officials, so Liu Shi dared to say that Li Buqi would not affect the performance appraisal of the old boss.Liu Shi was perfunctory again, and at this time Menzi came to report that several officials from the case had come to see Liu Shi, and the conversation between the two did not continue.

Not long after, several officials from the Zhou case were brought in. Liu Shi saw that they were all officials from the imperial examination.As soon as these officials sat down, they complained to Liu Shi that Li Buqi wanted to test them, saying that Li Buqi favored the military officials and small officials of Enyin, and excluded civil officials, and asked Liu Shi to make decisions for them.Liu Shi had no choice but to comfort them, telling them that it was impossible to overthrow Li Buqi with this matter, and let them follow Li Buqi's wishes for the time being, and when Li Buqi had a definite handle, he would immediately launch it. Give them justice.This was discussed by everyone for several months. Seeing that Liu Shi did not change his mind, several officials had to leave after complaining a lot.

After sending everyone away, Liu Shi sneered: "Huh, Li Buqi, you offended so many people at once when you got to the case, let's see how long you can dance around."

After returning to the house, he took out a notebook and added a charge of "oppressing civil servants and employing private persons" to Li Buqi.In front of this charge, there are two charges of "collaborating with petty officials to resell materials for military workshops" and "embezzlement and misappropriation of minister's money".

This black account was prepared as soon as Li Buqi was appointed to the Zhou case.When Wang Gongchen approached him to hint that he would take advantage of Li Buqi's position in the third department to kill Li Buqi, the two agreed that they should be investigated on these two charges.Both of them understand that they may not be able to grasp Li Buqi's handle in terms of work. After all, they are famous trees, and they feel that together with the civil servants of the third division, they may not be able to understand military manufacturing better than Li Buqi.But starting with economic issues is different. It is almost a one-shot approach.

Liu Shi and Wang Gongchen are both inside the Third Division, and they have heard about the piracy and sale of materials in the military workshop.It's just that the gang of petty officials are slippery, and they have never found any flaws, and they are not easy to pursue.

But not being found out does not mean not being found out.In the past, the main reason for not investigating was because they did not dare to investigate: if all the minor officials and officials were arrested, and the civil officials above did not know how to do it, the case would be suspended.

But I am most afraid of seriousness in everything. As long as Yu Shitai is determined to investigate, no matter how many people are involved, this matter will definitely be exposed.At that time, as long as Li Buqi is in charge of the case, first accuse him of sharing the loot with a petty official who steals and sells materials, and then even if the accusation fails, Li Buqi will not escape the accusation of ineffective supervision.As for the "minister's money", it is the weakness of the officials of the Song Dynasty. The censor can check it out. After all, the use of the minister's money is too complicated to explain clearly.

Liu Shi now has a lot of responsibilities: Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang, and Shi Zhizhi's miscellaneous affairs, deputy envoy of Yantie, and Liu Neiquan, the same judge of the official department. Yoon-soo was promoted after his dismissal.

The last time Liu Shi killed Yin Zhu, he got the favor of the prime minister to be rich today. Seeing that Wang Gongchen is a rising star, he has to work hard to curry favor for his future position.Li Buqi is Wang Gongchen's heart disease. Not only is Li Buqi, an official killer, serving under him, it may affect his official position, but also when Wang Gongchen was the censor, Li Buqi made the imperial censor very ugly. Wang Gongchen also became a joke, this enemy Wang Gongchen had to avenge.

Li Buqi and Han Qi are also rivals, and Han Qi also has great potential.For Wang Gongchen and Han Qi, Liu Shi wanted to kill Li Buqi.So he will carefully memorize this black account until the day when Li Buqi is brought down.

Li Buqi delayed taking office for three months, in fact, he expected that the third division would never be peaceful, so he needed time to collect intelligence and deduce various possible situations.But now that he has taken office, he must show the emperor the appearance of hard work and selfless dedication. After all, the emperor is the big tree he relies on.

How can you win the favor of the leader?Of course, let the leaders see their dedication.How to let the leaders see their dedication?Overtime!As long as there is no overtime pay, Li Buqi has never met a leader who doesn't like his subordinates working overtime.

According to this routine, he kept looking at the materials until he was about to hold the lamp before leaving Sansi.After returning home and entering the back house, the women and maids I met along the way stood respectfully by the side of the road when they saw Li Buqi, much more disciplined than a month ago.

Feeling the different atmosphere, Li Buqi couldn't help giving his wife a thumbs up.For more than a month, it was very rare for Zhao Min to train the servants to this level without making a sound.This wife's scheming skills are top-notch, she really married the right one.

After paying respects to his parents and returning to his own courtyard, Zhao Min was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Li Buqi, he immediately started eating.After dinner, Ying'er and others cleared away the dishes, brought tea but did not leave.At this time, Zhang Yingniang and her little sister also got into the room, and they each found a chair, and Xiudun sat down.

Zhao Min hurriedly said: "Oh, the officials have been busy in the third department for a whole day today, and you will not let the officials rest even if they are tired."

Li Buqi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it just happens to tell a story and change your mind. Where did you talk about it yesterday?"

Zhang Yingniang said quickly, "We're talking about Ziya Xiqi meeting Lu Yue."

Li Buqi said: "Okay, let's move on to the next time."

Zhao Min quickly said, "Wait a minute, I'll prepare the pen and paper before you talk."

Xing'er rubbed the ink while complaining: "Officer, you tell such a good story, and my wife suffers every day to write it out, but it's just for those storytellers to make money. Isn't it too cheap for them?"

Li Buqi smiled and said, "Xing'er is narrow-minded. Let those storytellers talk about this book, but it's for our own sake."
