Chapter 203 Deputy Director Tong comes to visit
Li Rizhi and the others were all very excited, talking and laughing, and riding a horse back to Chen Yingying's home.
Chen Yingying sent a servant to Dedao Court to inform the scholars, telling them that the case had been solved and the inner court chief Linghu Changqing had been arrested. Unexpectedly, a group of Taoist nuns committed the case, and finally the inner court chief was led to the inner court chief.
During the process of solving the case, Li Rizhi was quite disappointed with these scholars.
These people didn't help much, and they were only one of them, but they were still doing well. They followed them and ran around for a while, which was a little bit of effort.
The rest of the people were not very good.
In fact, Li Rizhi disagrees with the scholars' behavior, he doesn't care about his own affairs, and treats what is happening around him with a sense of watching the excitement.
Scholars all invest in bank papers and hope to receive attention from wealthy and nobles. It is normal under this imperial examination system.
However, you cannot be obsessed with it and just think about engaging in the battle all day long. This is not possible.
The investment bank paper must at least have one. What is this paper? It is to help the government solve the case! No matter whether the case can be solved, the help from behind will at least prove that the attitude is good, and it is impossible for the people in the government to see it.
Perhaps, the officials at the bottom can’t help much in the scientific examination, but if the scientific examination fails, these people will help.
These officials can at least give candidates a place to make money and eat, and let scholars act as idle people, copy and write in the yamen, and at least make a living, so as not to be in a difficult situation in Chang'an City and have no food and clothing.
If you fail the science exam, have no money to eat, and have no travel expenses to go home, wouldn’t that be extremely bad? There is a job to do, and you can still make a living at the lowest point, and wait until you finish the exam before taking the exam!
Therefore, as a human being, it is better to leave a way out for yourself. These scholars do not know how to leave a way out for themselves. This shows that they lack some in dealing with people and only know how to read. At best, they are just nerds, and their future future is very limited.
Of course, perhaps the scholars have too high vision and are disdainful to help people at the county magistrate level solve cases. If you want to help, you can help people like the Minister of Justice. This is also possible, although this possibility is not great!
Therefore, Li Rizhi only sent servants to notify the scholars, and did not tell the scholars that he and Fu Guibao were going to study in the Chang'an County Government. Of course, they would not mention that they had met the emperor and the queen.
Li Rizhi how the others celebrated at home, let’s not mention it for now, let’s talk about Tong Guinu who went out of the city to catch people.
Tong Guinu led hundreds of imperial guards, a large group of people, majestic and murderous intent, rushed out of the city gate at a glance and rushed out of more than ten miles in one breath. He was so tired that he was breathing, but he did not see any shadow of Linghu Changqing.
The envoy was a lieutenant who followed Tong Guinu out of the city. The lieutenant said, "Deputy General Tong, we can't chase him like this. If Linghu Changqing left the road and hid in the countryside, we wouldn't be able to find him at all. Moreover, maybe we had already run over the head and had surpassed Linghu Changqing. He was behind us at this time, so the problem now is not to chase him, but to look for him!"
This is the first time Tong Guinu came out to arrest people, and he didn't understand how to arrest people. At first, he thought it would be enough as long as it was fast enough. Now he also found that it seems that the light is not enough, and the light is fast enough, so what's the use of no matter how fast it is!
Tong Guinu looked around and saw that both sides of the avenue seemed to be the same. He had to ask, "So, what do you think we should do now?"
The imperial guards were unwilling to come out with Tong Guinu to arrest people. Needless to say whether they worked hard or not, they caught people. The credit was not theirs, but they could not catch people, but the responsibility was calculated on their heads. No one of them was willing to do such thankless errands.
The captain blinked and said, "Or else, we will go back and mobilize troops now, and transfer hundreds of people to come over, and then cast a net around to chase and block it. I don't believe that Linghu Changqing can run to the sky!"
When the other soldiers heard this, they nodded and said, "Yes, even if he ran to the sky, we will still shoot him down!"
Tong Guinu thought about it and seemed that there was no other good solution now. However, it seemed that it was not appropriate to go back to mobilize troops like this. After they left the city, they just ran around, so let alone credit, they couldn't even be considered hard work.
Tong Guinu said, "From the manager, otherwise, let's go to the nearby village and search, what do you think? Maybe we can really find someone. If you don't search, who can know the result!
When the captain heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He was overjoyed and said, "It makes sense, but, is this okay? Is this really possible?"
The soldiers' eyes were also lit up, and they were all overjoyed. They all felt a little embarrassed. They just came out to catch someone. Deputy Chief Tong actually wanted to let them enter the village. Such a good thing was simply unthinkable!
Tong Guinu didn't understand what the soldiers were thinking. He said, "What's true and false, of course it's like this. If we don't search, then we will go back like this. How can we explain to the emperor and the queen?"
When the captain heard this, he immediately bowed to Tong Guinu and said, "We are willing to follow the leader of Deputy Chief Tong. Deputy Chief Tong, we will do whatever you say. If anyone dares not listen to you, I will twist off his head as a ball!"
The soldiers also said in unison, "I am willing to serve Deputy Chief Tong!"
Tong Guinu suddenly felt like he was a general. He waved his hand and said loudly, "Search!"
The captain and the soldiers thought in their hearts, "Deputy Chief Tong is so intriguing, it's simply a boy who gives money! No wonder his surname is Tong, it turns out that's what he means!
The soldiers immediately rushed into a nearby village, using the excuse to catch people and want to catch Linghu Changqing, but in fact, they were all messing around, and they used all their skills to hold the sheep, chickens, ducks, gooses, and eggs. They were so hard that they could no longer sell them!
Just as the soldiers had finished tossing a village and wanted to go to the next village and continue to tossing, people came to the city, but there were a few little eunuchs in the palace.
The young eunuchs are the ones who can see the words and expressions of the wind. When they saw Linghu Changqing fall, they knew that Tong Guinu would be prosperous and take over the position of the chief executive.
These little eunuchs were the first to get the news, so they ran out of the palace immediately, trying to find Tong Guinu. They quickly flattered them.
If Tong Guinu is willing to accept them, then they are very willing to worship Tong Guinu as their godfather. As for some small eunuchs, they are older than Tong Guinu, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, they worship godfather, not their own father. The older the godson, does it prove that the godfather is more capable!
Just when a few little eunuchs found Tong Guinu, they saw that behind Tong Guinu there was a large group of imperial soldiers. The soldiers all had red faces and clamored. Some soldiers even had a chicken in their left hand and a duck in their right hand. At this moment, they had clearly just robbed a village!
The little eunuchs were all stunned, thinking in their hearts, "This new godfather seems to be a bad brain. He dares to disturb the people at this time. He doesn't want to be the chief manager, right? The more he is the handover between the new and the eldest boss, the more he should be low-key, so as not to be caught by others. This new godfather doesn't care at all!"
When Tong Guinu saw the little eunuchs coming, he asked, "What are you here to do? But Linghu Changqing's affairs have been settled, and was he caught by Peng Ji?"
He intuitively realized that Linghu Changqing might have been caught, and it was probably the one who was caught by Peng Ji. Anyway, no matter who was caught, as long as Linghu Changqing was arrested, he, the chief manager, would be deemed to be determined!
Several young eunuchs hurriedly said, "If you go back to the chief executive, Linghu Changqing was indeed caught, but he was not caught by the magistrate Peng, but by a scholar named Li Rizhi and his companions!"
Tong Guinu said, thinking, "Li Rizhi, it's Li Rizhi again. This man saved the prince's life and will have a bright future in the future. Maybe he can become the prime minister, at least he is a six minister. I have to make friends with him!"
Tong Guinu immediately took the team of soldiers back to Chang'an City. However, they were crowded and they were swaying around the city. So when they entered the city gate, they were actually seen by a censor. When they saw the chickens and ducks carried by the soldiers, they knew they were disturbing the people and returned!
The censor was very righteous. When he saw the eunuch who was leading the leader, Tong Guinu, pointed at Tong Guinu on the horse and shouted, "Eunuch, you dare to bully the people. You deserve to die. I will report to the emperor and submit it to you!"
Tong Guinu shrank his head, and he didn't dare to quarrel with the censor. The censor specializes in making a living by talking, but he is not, he makes a living by relying on his ability!
Tong Guinu did not capture Linghu Changqing, and he returned to Chang'an after Linghu Changqing was arrested for a long time, so he did not have to submit an order to the emperor and Empress Wu. At this time, he did not dare to make do with Empress Wu, so as not to say that he was not good at doing things well and was a waste. It would not be too late to see Empress Wu again tomorrow.
After asking about Li Rizhi's place of stay in Chang'an, Tong Guinu rushed to see Li Rizhi immediately, wanting to hear how he caught Linghu Changqing and want to make friends with him anyway!
When he arrived at Chen Yingying's house, the doorman went in and reported it, Li Rizhi was shocked. Tong Guinu actually came to see him! He originally wanted to see Tong Guinu, but he was afraid that he would not see him, but unexpectedly, things turned out to be the reverse, and Tong Guinu came to see him, but he took the initiative to come to the door!
Li Rizhi immediately welcomed him out, invited Tong Guinu into the gate, entered the main hall, and sat down with guests and guests. Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai were there.
Tong Guinu is easy to talk to. He was a scholar who had studied before and worked in the palace, so he had both the gentleness of a scholar and the slick eunuch. The two characteristics mixed together made him easy to get along with everyone.
After introducing himself, plus all kinds of polite and nice but unnutritious nonsense, Tong Guinu asked, "What is the situation in this case of murdering the prince? I am afraid that I will not be able to ask clearly when asked about others, so please let Mr. Li know!"
Li Rizhi told the story. After hearing this, Tong Guinu exclaimed repeatedly. If he had solved the case, he would probably not have solved anything. Not to mention following the clues, he would have caught Linghu Changqing, he would not even be able to catch Linghu Changxiu!
Tong Guinu said, "Oh, it's really hard for people to die, and goods to throw away. Not only can I not solve the case, but I will be scolded by the censor when I go out to arrest someone!" He told me about being scolded by the censor on the road.
After hearing this, Li Rizhi frowned and said, "If General Manager Tong wants to crack down on the impeachment of the censor, then you might as well go back to the palace immediately and explain to Empress Wu that you did not capture Linghu Changqing, and said that because you were anxious, you disturbed the lives of the people during the arrest. In this way, when the Censor impeached you again, Empress Wu would think that he was troublesome!"
Tong Guinu was stunned and nodded, "Yes, that's right, why didn't I expect this method! Oh, Mr. Li, it would be great if you knew my friend Chu Qiangzhi. You know more about adaptability than him. He is too straightforward in his work. You can teach him well. He is now the county magistrate of Huayin County. I wonder, do you recognize him?"
He deliberately brought the topic to this point!
