Chapter 297 Bocheng County

Although Wang Dahao didn't say much, the meaning expressed was very obvious, that is, the county magistrate was a very good person who was good at making money, but he used the emperor and the queen as a guise to collect money, which was very taboo.

At this time, Chen Yingying came out of the house and said, "Rizhi, you have eaten, do you want to drink some wine to relieve your fatigue?"

Li Rizhi nodded, turned to Wang Dahao and said, "Brother Wang, why don't you come in and have some food too. We just came from Yanzhou and brought plenty of food, a lot of good cooked food, and the wine is also good!"

He looked like Wang Dahao, who was like a person who liked to be greedy for small gains and had no idea about it. If he had given him a few taels of wine, Wang Dahao might have told him everything he knew!

Wang Dahao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He saw that Li Rizhi and others were dressed in gorgeous clothes, had many followers, and had luggage in a car. He must have been rich people. He had never seen what rich people went out to eat. Since they were kind enough to invite him now, if they refused, wouldn’t he be embarrassed!

"Okay, let's have some food and drink together!" Wang Dahao nodded repeatedly, and while entering the yard, he pretended to be embarrassed: "I'm so embarrassed, I've made you spend money!"

"It's not a waste, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks. How much money can it cost. Brother Wang, don't mind!"

There were two tables in the main hall, one of the followers, and the other one was Fu Guibao and the others sat around. There were a lot of food on the table, including wind chicken and bacon, and all of them were available. Master Fu was very particular about food.

Li Rizhi asked Wang Dahao to sit down, poured a glass of wine in person, persuaded him to eat and drink, and had a warm attitude. When Fu Guibao saw him, he knew that Li Rizhi wanted to talk, and he also persuaded him enthusiastically.

In just a moment, Wang Dahao drank seven or eight glasses of wine, and his tongue became big when he spoke. He was a poor little man. Although he occasionally drank some small wine, he was all inferior wine mixed with water. He had never drunk the good wine brought by Fu Guibao. He had never even had the New Year and Festival.

Seeing that he had almost finished drinking, Li Rizhi asked: "Brother Wang, how much money did your county magistrate collect to take over this time? How many cows do you think you can buy?"

Wang Dahao is a very simple person who has a short mouth and a short hand. He has no idea of ​​being sloppy. In addition, he has drunk too much and dared not say anything randomly, but he dared to say it at this time.

Wang Dahao scratched his head and said, "I collected quite a lot of them, filled the warehouses, and even the wing rooms. That place is not enough, it's enough for several lifetimes!"

Li Rizhi frowned, but he didn't believe Wang Dahao's words. If it was given jewelry, it would not be possible to fill the warehouse. If it was given ordinary things, from Wang Dahao's perspective, he would probably think that the table with painted paint would be good things. Then even if it was filled with the warehouse, it would not be worth much!

Seeing that Li Rizhi had a disbelief expression, Wang Da said anxiously: "Does the young master believe me? I used to be in charge of the warehouse, and my father also was in charge of the warehouse. I have been working for almost two generations and have always been the cleanest. There is nothing in the warehouse that can be hidden from me, but the county magistrate looked down on me and changed his own confidant to the warehouse, so he sent me here to make an update. Damn..."

Then, Wang Dahao started to curse, as if he had a lot of dissatisfaction with the county magistrate of Bocheng County. After all, the minor official in charge of the warehouse was sent here to be punished, which was considered exile and exiled. If Wang Dahao had no idea in his mind, it would be abnormal.

However, no matter how Wang Dahao cursed or Li Rizhi asked, he couldn't tell what kind of things were piled up in the warehouse. I guess he had never really seen it. It should have been sent out before the county magistrate started collecting the money. He just heard some rumors about the warehouse.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything again, Li Rizhi had to give up. Seeing that Wang Dahao was drunk, he asked someone to take him back to rest. He was tired from rushing on the road. After eating, he also went into the house to rest until dawn.

After eating dry food the next morning, Li Rizhi and others bid farewell to Wang Dahao and prepared to walk to Bocheng County. This place is about twenty miles away from the county town. This distance is just right, it is enough to be reached in half a day, and it is not very tired. So it is obvious that the magistrate of Bocheng County built a new village here through careful planning.

Wang Dahao watched Li Rizhi and others leave, and suddenly felt that he had eaten and picked up something, and he couldn't stand it. He shouted: "Young master, even though he is rushing on the road, the road is very peaceful now. There were not many horses here before, and recently, there has been no one, so it is very safe!"

Li Rizhi immediately turned around and smiled, "How close are you recently?"

Wang Dahao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Rizhi to ask this question. After thinking about it, he said: "Since the county magistrate took office, he has never seen a loud horse again!"

After saying that, even Wang Dahao felt strange. Could it be that the county magistrate is a very shocking person? But he has never seen him suppress bandits and is not very concerned about public security. Otherwise, how could such a big new village be sent to fight for updates? Apart from lighting lanterns every day, there is no work to do!

Hey, why do you need to light lanterns every day? How much candles cost!

Wang Dahao scratched his head and couldn't figure it out, so he went back and thought about it carefully. Anyway, he was idle!

Li Rizhi was walking on the road and began to analyze in his heart that if Wang Dahao said, the county magistrate of Bocheng County is definitely not a good official. In the current officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, he can almost be regarded as a corrupt official with no lower limit. Normal officials would hardly receive benefits so blatantly. They actually took benefits in the name of the emperor and the queen. This is simply life-threatening. He has never seen such a crazy official, and he has never even heard of it.

If things are abnormal, they are evil. If the county magistrate of Bocheng County had not resigned after he wanted to get this vote, he would definitely not be like this. As far as he knew, this county magistrate was a good time for being young and strong. How could he think of running away after making money? The world is so big, even if he runs, where can he run?

So Wang Dahao's words have a lot of moisture, and it is even very likely to be a false accusation. After all, Wang Dahao lost his job and secretly hated him, which made it impossible for him to say bad things about the county magistrate!

Li Rizhi remembered Zhen Mengde, the governor of Yanzhou. This very confusing governor once said that Li Rizhi should be careful of the magistrate of Bocheng County, and Zhen Mengde himself was like a robber, so this can be proved that the magistrate of Bocheng County should be a good official.

However, in fact, this may not be the case. At this time, the counter-proof method was not very effective based on the various information obtained. Li Rizhi now believes that the governor and the county magistrate are not like good officials, and as for whether they are good people, it is even less certain.

On the way, I thought that before noon, the group arrived outside Bocheng County. The road was indeed very safe. Not to mention meeting a loud horse, I didn’t even see a stray dog!

The road leading to Bocheng County is flat, and the city walls of the county are even tall and majestic. They are no longer like the city walls of ordinary county towns. They are almost the same as those of the city walls of the city. The bricks are new, and the paint on the city gates are evident. It seems that they have just been repaired!
