The next day, I went to the yamen to report. Once I entered the yamen, there was a smoky atmosphere. The officials in the yamen were swaying here and there. They gathered in groups of three or four, chatting, gambling, and some drinking and punching. This is not an office, Li Yaonan frowned slightly.
"Hey! Someone is coming." A man saw him and touched his colleagues.
"Don't bother." The man slapped him, and his eyes were fixed on the dice on the table. At this moment, the gambling was in full swing, so he couldn't care about other things.
There were also people who looked up at Li Yaonan, and then ignored them, what to do, and continued drinking, eating meat and throwing dice.
Li Yaonan frowned, if this was the so-called yamen, he thought he really couldn't stay any longer.
"You are Master Li?" The man hesitated a little, his eyes revealing a bit of inquiry.
Li Yaonan looked at him indifferently: "Where is the principal in the yamen?"
"Oh." The man pointed to a room not far away: "Today, the governor's concubine is celebrating her birthday, and the adults are all going to congratulate her. Before leaving, I told the younger ones that if Lord Li comes, it's good to go."
Li Yaonan was laughed out of anger, never thought that the governor would be smart, the so-called law does not blame the public, he was treated coldly today, it seems that there is no other way but to swallow his breath, such a bold and reckless yamen, who will believe it, I am afraid One's own majesty will be swept away first.
"Okay, I understand." Li Yaonan waved his hand, glanced at him, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Little Zhao Da has been working in the Yamen for 12 years now." Zhao Da said proudly, very proud of his identity.
Li Yaonan calmed down and ordered: "Go and open the door."
"Yes!" Zhao Da quickly brought him to the door, stepped forward, opened the door first, and then invited him in.
Li Yaonan glanced around, there was nothing in the room except tables and chairs, it was indeed an office space, and there was not even a thin sheet of paper. Compared with the Hanlin Academy back then, Li Yaonan felt that it was nothing, so he raised his eyebrows and said: " Do you always act like this?"
Zhao Da rubbed his head, smiled and said: "No, the adults are not here today, so the little ones can relax."
Li Yaonan nodded: "Why didn't you gamble?"
Zhao Da smiled awkwardly, rubbed his palms, a little greedy: "The little ones are short of money these days, so I dare not play with the big ones."
Li Yaonan raised the corners of his lips: "That's right, small bets are fun, but big bets hurt your health. It's good that you can do this."
Zhao Da was overwhelmed with flattery, he was ready for the imaginary dismounting, scolding, and Master Li's furious rage, what a big deal, today is just a meal, the head has been said, and he will be given five taels of silver.
Li Yaonan looked outside from a distance, and he already understood in his heart that today's incident was obviously done on purpose, no matter how he handled it, it would be difficult, if he was punished, beaten, or endured, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the yamen.Zhao Da made it very clear. He has been in the Yamen for 12 years. Since ancient times, the king of Hades has always been difficult to deal with little ghosts. He is reminding himself to weigh it.
Li Yaonan laughed playfully, he took this difficult question, from the very beginning of the questioning, he didn't believe that Zhao Da was honest, if he had a bad temper, he didn't know how to get angry when he saw this scene.If someone is punished, who will help him in the future? If he is not punished, then what is his majesty?
"How much do they play?" Li Yaonan was in high spirits. He hadn't played dice for a long time, and his hands were really itchy. As a second-generation ancestor, Li Yaonan dared to say that he was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in his previous life except for poison.
Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand what Master Li meant, he still replied with a smile: "At least one tael of silver is required."
Li Yaonan walked over slowly, looking like a fool, a full-fledged playboy, who still has the look of an official, and said with a smile: "I'm here to play too."
Zhao Da felt that the rhythm was wrong, so he hurriedly followed, only to see Mrs. Li took out ten taels of silver and threw it on the table without looking at it: "Small."
The people around were stunned, followed by another burst of ecstasy, that was ten taels of silver, who cares who is standing next to them, anyway, the above said, let them give the new official a blow.
"I'm big." Someone hurriedly took out the money and slapped it on the table vigorously.
"I'm in the dealership." There was another person, an old god, who held the dice without panic.
"I'm too big."
"I'm small."
Seven or eight people took out their silver and placed bets one after another, their eyes were so concentrated that their eyes were red from betting.
Li Yaonan looked at them carefully, the man sitting in the dealership was clearly dressed better, and the amount of money piled up in front was more, the rest of the people except for the lucky ones, most of them were broken money.Li Yaonan had the bottom line in his mind, the banker should be their leader, and maybe he had some kind of relationship with someone in the yamen.
The dealer started to shake the dice, and with the shaking of the dice clock, everyone shouted loudly.
"big big big……"
"Open big, it must be big."
"Small, small, small, it must be small..."
"Open, open, open."
"Four, five, six—big!" The winner beamed with joy, and hurriedly grabbed the money in front of him. At this moment, he couldn't remember who Master Li was. The joy of victory overwhelmed him, and he shouted at Li Yaonan: " Are you still playing?"
"Play, why don't you play?" Li Yaonan put another ten taels of silver on it.
After losing three games in a row, other people looked at him as a fool, and only regarded him as a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. The people drinking and chatting next to him also came to make fun of him. There were only nine people on the table, and within a while, it increased to eighteen people.
Li Yaonan lost another six rounds, he didn't have much money on him, so he simply took out the silver bills, one hundred taels of silver bills appeared in front of everyone, the crowd swallowed their saliva, wishing they could keep them all for themselves.
Li Yaonan took out one and threw it on the table with an extremely casual attitude, as if throwing a piece of waste paper.
The eyes of the people around were red, and they gambled more vigorously, Li Yaonan watched them calmly, this is not an official in the yamen, but a crazy gambler.
"I'm big." Li Yaonan touched the dice casually, his gaze became deep.
"I'm small."
"I'm too young."
"I'm too young."
"I... crushed it."
Li Yaonan laughed lightly, he was regarded as a fat sheep, as a person who often hangs around casinos, he knows the thoughts of gamblers like the back of his hand, if he doesn't give them some sweets to eat, how can they take the bait.
"Open, open, open."
"Four five six—big."
"how so."
"My bet is all in it."
Li Yaonan looked at them with a smile: "Are you still coming?"
"Come."
"Come."
People who bet on red eyes, how can they not come up with a word, let alone they have tasted the sweetness just now.
After another two losses, someone ran out of money, Li Yaonan saw that he was pitiful, and said with concern: "May I lend you some money, just write an IOU."
"Thank you, Master Li." At this time, the man spoke very respectfully, remembering who the person in front of him was, but he was also merciless when borrowing money.
Li Yaonan is very generous, as long as they make an IOU and press their fingerprints, anyone who borrows money will be given, and he is afraid that they will not be enough.
The dealer was sweating profusely from the loss, but he still kept his senses after all, and wanted to let everyone leave early. However, everyone was already red-eyed about this matter, so how could they listen to him.
When he went down to the Yamen, Li Yaonan was very satisfied. Not only did he have an extra 3000 taels of IOU in his hand, but he also won a total of more than [-] taels.
The people in the yamen were dumbfounded, they lost all their spirits, and looked at Li Yaonan with lofty eyes in an instant. This is not a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, it is simply a master of gambling, okay?
Zhao Da lost two taels of silver, and owed 100 taels of IOU, his guts were green with regret, why did he come to join in the fun.
Li Yaonan looked at them with a smile, he would definitely not return the IOU, he relied on it to get a foothold in the yamen, as for treating guests to dinner, it was trivial: "This official is new here, everyone is lucky today, how about this official as host?" ?”
It's too ruthless, it's really too ruthless, it's the first time Guan Tianyou realizes that he is so stupid. Fortunately, Mr. Li doesn't hurt his back when he stands and talks. After a day of gambling today, it can be misinterpreted as hard work. Who gave it to whom? A dismount.
"Go to Juxian Tower." Guan Tianyou said fiercely, Juxian Tower is the best restaurant in Dali, and he himself has not been there a few times.
"No problem." Li Yaonan said that there was no pressure at all, and he had to show something when he won money from others.
Everyone cheered up and decided to eat enough money today. The loss was really miserable, and they really didn't keep a penny.
Zhao Da was itchy like a cat's paw, and he looked at Master Li eagerly. In fact, he would rather not eat, and just wanted to ask Master Li to give him back his IOU, 100 taels of silver. How long will it take to earn it back? .
There is more than one person who has the same thoughts as him, but is it possible?Li Yaonan laughed wantonly, glanced at everyone, and fought with him, nothing at all.
After eating and paying the bill, Li Yaonan walked back to the house with ease, and recovered a few yamen servants, but it was easy to catch. He must go to the yamen tomorrow, and it will never be the same as today.
"Husband is in a good mood?" Lin Yixuan looked at him curiously, with question marks all over his face.
"That's right." Li Yaonan curled his lips, not hiding his good mood, and led his husband back to the room, and looked around: "Where's the child?"
Lin Yixuan was a little helpless: "Xi'er is asleep, Xu'er is painting red, this child won't listen to any persuasion, and I must finish writing three big characters."
The smile on Li Yaonan's lips widened, he couldn't be more satisfied with the eldest son: "Xu'er is fine."
Lin Yixuan frowned: "I'm afraid that the child will be tired, he is only six years old."
Li Yaonan held Fu Lang's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the child is still young and teach slowly. When he grows up, I'm going to invite a riding and archery master back to distract him."
Lin Yixuan sighed: "Xu'er is too lonely without a playmate."
Li Yaonan frowned, and began to think about this problem. The foundation of the family is too shallow, and the first-generation children have not yet grown their teeth. It is the time when they are waiting to be fed. How can they be playmates with Xu Er? As for colleagues, Yuxi used to not By the way, here in Dali, let alone not being familiar with the place of life, just looking at the smog in the yamen, as an official of the imperial court, he would actually surrender his status and go to celebrate the birthday of a mere concubine, how can he rest assured about the children in their family , Not all bad bamboos can produce good shoots.
"I'll take care of this." Li Yaonan patted his hand, with a plan in mind.
Lin Yixuan glanced at him sideways, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Li Yaonan chuckled, her husband became more and more imposing, and said with a smile: "I used to go to the mountains often, I remember that Xu'er had a good time with a few children, I plan to bring them back, cultivate their relationship since childhood, and in the future Taking the imperial examination together can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
Lin Yixuan knew in his heart that her husband had a high prestige in Yuxi, and if he cultivated an official, he would not only do things for the people of Yuxi, but also have a stronger foundation. In addition, he grew up with Xu'er since he was a child, so his affection was naturally different. In general, it really kills two birds with one stone: "Is anyone elected?"
Li Yaonan nodded: "I remember that Jin Xiaosan and Xin Aqi have no father or mother, and lived with their relatives a few days ago. They are not bad."
Lin Yixuan didn't say much anymore, as long as the husband has an idea.
When he went to the yamen the next day, the moment Li Yaonan stepped into the gate, the yamen servants all greeted him respectfully, with flattery smiles on their faces.
"Master Li."
"Master Li."
"Yeah!" Li Yaonan nodded slightly, his expression calm and majestic, and there was no trace of yesterday's casualness on his handsome face.
Zhao Da nodded and bowed to meet him: "Master Li, please."
Li Yaonan glanced at him, the corners of his lips curled up, and he stepped out unhurriedly.
It was the same room as yesterday. The furnishings in the room were completely new. There was a desk, bookshelves, chairs, tables, and a soft couch next to it, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, tea sets and porcelain. Clusters of flowers, a touch of elegant and pleasant fragrance.
"The little ones cleaned this up overnight, and I hope Lord Li likes it." Zhao Da had a flattering face, his attitude was very different from that of the honest man yesterday.
Li Yaonan smiled slightly, without mentioning the IOU, and praised: "It's really good, thanks for your hard work."
"Then..." Zhao Da rubbed his hands, complaining in his heart, why do you say Mr. Li is a court official who is so good at gambling.
"You still have something to do?" Li Yaonan raised his eyebrows and smiled, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"It's okay." Zhao Da cried, his intuition told him that it was very dangerous. This intuition had saved him countless times, but who would tell him where the kind and amiable Lord Li went yesterday?
"Don't worry, I know you are very obedient, let's go down."
Li Yaonan's tone of voice was unhurried, but with that casual demeanor, how could Zhao Da not understand that Master Li was telling him clearly that they must be obedient.
"How about it?"
"How about it?"
As soon as Zhao Da came out of the room, he was surrounded by his colleagues, all of them with bright eyes: "Did Master Li give me the IOU?"
Zhao Da glared at them, and said harshly, "Fuck it, work hard."
"You said Mr. Li is not short of money, so what are you doing with the IOU." Someone complained dissatisfied.
Zhao Da patted him and kicked him: "Okay, don't babble there, Mr. Li won't ask you for money, work hard."
"Oh!"
As time passed, officials from various ministries arrived one by one, and the people who wanted to watch the excitement were disappointed. The yamen was very quiet, Mr. Li was very leisurely, drinking tea was very comfortable, and the yamen was in harmony.
"What's going on here?" Mr. Tang's face was sour. Yesterday's disarmament didn't seem to have any effect.
Master Pan shook his head, he didn't know that he also went to the governor's house yesterday.
Mr. Li recruited his nephew, Guan Tianyou asked all kinds of questions, joked, gathered a crowd to gamble, not only lost all his money, but the IOU was still in Mr. Li's hands, how dare he say that.
All the officials couldn't find the result, and the yamen servants were rarely consistent, and they just didn't get to the point, and what they said occasionally were all admiration for Lord Li.
Most of the yamen servants participated in a gamble yesterday, and both left and right were wrong. In order to keep their positions, how dare they tell the truth, anyway, the law does not blame the public.
The governor was furious, but how could this kind of official battle be brought to light? With a depressed mood, Li Yaonan reluctantly integrated into the yamen. He is very diligent, and besides not being able to manage things, his life is quite leisurely.
The emperor was a little dissatisfied, another month had passed, and Yuxi's secret package hadn't arrived yet, the emperor frowned, wondering if the station was delayed, and tapped his fingers on the table to reflect on when did he develop the habit.
As an emperor, he does not allow anything to affect him.
The prince quietly served tea to the emperor, and then stepped aside without making any noise.
The emperor quickly came to a conclusion, with a faint voice, revealing an indescribable majesty: "Your Excellency Li's secret document, there is no need to present it in the future."
The prince was startled, could it be that Mr. Li is going to fall out of favor, and then he felt that something was wrong, and said cautiously: "Report to the emperor, Mr. Li will be transferred to the prefect of Yunnan, and the memorial can only be presented through the governor."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help laughing. He actually forgot that Li Qing's family is not a judge now, and they are not eligible to go directly to the memorial.
"That's all." The emperor closed his eyes, he likes Li Yaonan's memorials, he likes to read the customs and customs he wrote, but ordinary people can have preferences, but the emperor can't do it, this habit must be quit.
The emperor didn't speak anymore, he was looking forward to what surprise Li Yaonan would give him in three years' time.
It's just that the emperor didn't expect that Yunnan would surprise him next year in less than three years. It was not a surprise, but a fright. For the first time in his heart, he regretted his decision. Li Yaonan secretly said a lot of bad things about the governor and the governor. Well, the emperor didn't take it to heart, this kind of infighting in the officialdom is not uncommon. If the emperor sits in a high position for too long, he will only speculate on the thoughts of others with deeper thoughts.
However, he would never have thought that what Li Yaonan said was all the truth, without any concealment, he told him all the facts objectively, and truly fulfilled the duties that an inspector should have.
Li Yaonan spent his days in the Yamen, but he was not idle. Every day he would carefully look through the files in Yunnan, and recorded all the geographical locations and the jurisdiction of the officials below.
Sun Ruisi made an open and unannounced visit, looking around for military defenses. Although he didn't understand Master Li's intentions, seeing his cautious attitude, as if something big was about to happen, he unconsciously became nervous and acted more cautiously.
Lin Yixuan started to walk around in recent days, others didn't look at Li Yaonan's face, for the sake of Jingyanghou Mansion, they didn't dare to neglect him too much.
Wang Langzhong had a toothache when he saw him, and he avoided seeing him several times, hiding as far away as possible, he can't provoke a tigress, can't he still hide?
Lin Yixuan didn't take it seriously. His main target was actually the governor's wife. Of course, the so-called wife definitely didn't refer to his regular wife, but his charming concubine.You don't need to spend too much energy, as long as you can talk to each other, the governor was able to escape once in his previous life, and in this life he will make the governor escape faster and buy more time for your husband.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. One month later, Zhang Cheng went to Yuxi and brought Jin Xiaosan and Xin Aqi along.
Li Xu was very happy to have a playmate, and his whole person became lively and cheerful, but he still didn't relax about his schoolwork.
Lin Yixuan was dissatisfied with the names of the two children, and then named them Jin Yuxuan and Xin Zeqi. The two children are very grateful. Since losing their parents, they have no one to rely on. How could it be any better?
They know that the present opportunity is given by adults. Not only are they famous, but they can also read and write, and they may even become officials in the future. How can they not be grateful for this.
Lin Yixuan was satisfied in his heart, the husband has a good vision, and the two children are really good.
Li Yaonan was in a bad mood at the moment, frowned and looked at the person in front of him: "What's wrong with Master Huang?"
"No." Master Huang looked at him sadly, as if he had committed a heinous crime.
"I have nothing to do, I have to work, Mr. Huang please."
Master Huang looked sad and looked at him incredulously, with a heartbroken expression.
Li Yaonan felt very speechless, he thought he didn't feel sorry for anyone, why did Master Huang act like a heartless person.
Master Huang glared at him bitterly, and left angrily.
Guan Tianyou ran over to make fun of him, and said with a smile: "He's just like that, Mr. Li don't care about it."
Li Yaonan nodded, expressing his understanding, he had checked the files before, this Mr. Huang was a Jinshi of Xinke last year, not long after he was sent to Yunnan, the sense of presence in the yamen was worse than him, at least he could arouse the hostility of others, Master Huang is completely transparent.
Just be transparent, let's be transparent, Mr. Huang doesn't know what's wrong, after returning from a three-day vacation, when he saw Li Yaonan, he immediately got into a fight with him.
The colleagues in the yamen naturally laughed at the jokes and made Mr. Huang more transparent.
However, Li Yaonan felt that the whole person was not good. If you say you want to go to the bar, you can go to the bar. Mr. Huang didn't say a word, and he just looked at him with a particularly piercing eyes all day long. Li Yaonan wanted to go crazy. Who did he offend? Yes, I ran into a neuropathy.
It's not that he didn't think about punishing him, or showing him some color, but Mr. Huang, first, he didn't kill people, second, he didn't break the law, and third, he didn't disrespect him, and he didn't answer his questions. Look at you, if you really do something to him, everyone in the yamen will stare at you, Li Yaonan is not foolish enough to leave a word for others.
"Hey! Someone is coming." A man saw him and touched his colleagues.
"Don't bother." The man slapped him, and his eyes were fixed on the dice on the table. At this moment, the gambling was in full swing, so he couldn't care about other things.
There were also people who looked up at Li Yaonan, and then ignored them, what to do, and continued drinking, eating meat and throwing dice.
Li Yaonan frowned, if this was the so-called yamen, he thought he really couldn't stay any longer.

"Okay, I understand." Li Yaonan waved his hand, glanced at him, and asked, "What's your name?"

Li Yaonan looked at them with a smile: "Are you still coming?"

"That's right." Li Yaonan curled his lips, not hiding his good mood, and led his husband back to the room, and looked around: "Where's the child?"
Lin Yixuan was a little helpless: "Xi'er is asleep, Xu'er is painting red, this child won't listen to any persuasion, and I must finish writing three big characters."
The smile on Li Yaonan's lips widened, he couldn't be more satisfied with the eldest son: "Xu'er is fine."
Lin Yixuan frowned: "I'm afraid that the child will be tired, he is only six years old."
Li Yaonan held Fu Lang's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the child is still young and teach slowly. When he grows up, I'm going to invite a riding and archery master back to distract him."
Lin Yixuan sighed: "Xu'er is too lonely without a playmate."
Li Yaonan frowned, and began to think about this problem. The foundation of the family is too shallow, and the first-generation children have not yet grown their teeth. It is the time when they are waiting to be fed. How can they be playmates with Xu Er? As for colleagues, Yuxi used to not By the way, here in Dali, let alone not being familiar with the place of life, just looking at the smog in the yamen, as an official of the imperial court, he would actually surrender his status and go to celebrate the birthday of a mere concubine, how can he rest assured about the children in their family , Not all bad bamboos can produce good shoots.
"I'll take care of this." Li Yaonan patted his hand, with a plan in mind.
Lin Yixuan glanced at him sideways, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Li Yaonan chuckled, her husband became more and more imposing, and said with a smile: "I used to go to the mountains often, I remember that Xu'er had a good time with a few children, I plan to bring them back, cultivate their relationship since childhood, and in the future Taking the imperial examination together can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
Lin Yixuan knew in his heart that her husband had a high prestige in Yuxi, and if he cultivated an official, he would not only do things for the people of Yuxi, but also have a stronger foundation. In addition, he grew up with Xu'er since he was a child, so his affection was naturally different. In general, it really kills two birds with one stone: "Is anyone elected?"
Li Yaonan nodded: "I remember that Jin Xiaosan and Xin Aqi have no father or mother, and lived with their relatives a few days ago. They are not bad."
Lin Yixuan didn't say much anymore, as long as the husband has an idea.
When he went to the yamen the next day, the moment Li Yaonan stepped into the gate, the yamen servants all greeted him respectfully, with flattery smiles on their faces.
"Master Li."
"Master Li."
"Yeah!" Li Yaonan nodded slightly, his expression calm and majestic, and there was no trace of yesterday's casualness on his handsome face.
Zhao Da nodded and bowed to meet him: "Master Li, please."
Li Yaonan glanced at him, the corners of his lips curled up, and he stepped out unhurriedly.
It was the same room as yesterday. The furnishings in the room were completely new. There was a desk, bookshelves, chairs, tables, and a soft couch next to it, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, tea sets and porcelain. Clusters of flowers, a touch of elegant and pleasant fragrance.
"The little ones cleaned this up overnight, and I hope Lord Li likes it." Zhao Da had a flattering face, his attitude was very different from that of the honest man yesterday.
Li Yaonan smiled slightly, without mentioning the IOU, and praised: "It's really good, thanks for your hard work."
"Then..." Zhao Da rubbed his hands, complaining in his heart, why do you say Mr. Li is a court official who is so good at gambling.
"You still have something to do?" Li Yaonan raised his eyebrows and smiled, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"It's okay." Zhao Da cried, his intuition told him that it was very dangerous. This intuition had saved him countless times, but who would tell him where the kind and amiable Lord Li went yesterday?
"Don't worry, I know you are very obedient, let's go down."
Li Yaonan's tone of voice was unhurried, but with that casual demeanor, how could Zhao Da not understand that Master Li was telling him clearly that they must be obedient.
"How about it?"
"How about it?"
As soon as Zhao Da came out of the room, he was surrounded by his colleagues, all of them with bright eyes: "Did Master Li give me the IOU?"
Zhao Da glared at them, and said harshly, "Fuck it, work hard."
"You said Mr. Li is not short of money, so what are you doing with the IOU." Someone complained dissatisfied.
Zhao Da patted him and kicked him: "Okay, don't babble there, Mr. Li won't ask you for money, work hard."
"Oh!"
As time passed, officials from various ministries arrived one by one, and the people who wanted to watch the excitement were disappointed. The yamen was very quiet, Mr. Li was very leisurely, drinking tea was very comfortable, and the yamen was in harmony.
"What's going on here?" Mr. Tang's face was sour. Yesterday's disarmament didn't seem to have any effect.
Master Pan shook his head, he didn't know that he also went to the governor's house yesterday.
Mr. Li recruited his nephew, Guan Tianyou asked all kinds of questions, joked, gathered a crowd to gamble, not only lost all his money, but the IOU was still in Mr. Li's hands, how dare he say that.
All the officials couldn't find the result, and the yamen servants were rarely consistent, and they just didn't get to the point, and what they said occasionally were all admiration for Lord Li.
Most of the yamen servants participated in a gamble yesterday, and both left and right were wrong. In order to keep their positions, how dare they tell the truth, anyway, the law does not blame the public.
The governor was furious, but how could this kind of official battle be brought to light? With a depressed mood, Li Yaonan reluctantly integrated into the yamen. He is very diligent, and besides not being able to manage things, his life is quite leisurely.
The emperor was a little dissatisfied, another month had passed, and Yuxi's secret package hadn't arrived yet, the emperor frowned, wondering if the station was delayed, and tapped his fingers on the table to reflect on when did he develop the habit.
As an emperor, he does not allow anything to affect him.
The prince quietly served tea to the emperor, and then stepped aside without making any noise.
The emperor quickly came to a conclusion, with a faint voice, revealing an indescribable majesty: "Your Excellency Li's secret document, there is no need to present it in the future."
The prince was startled, could it be that Mr. Li is going to fall out of favor, and then he felt that something was wrong, and said cautiously: "Report to the emperor, Mr. Li will be transferred to the prefect of Yunnan, and the memorial can only be presented through the governor."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help laughing. He actually forgot that Li Qing's family is not a judge now, and they are not eligible to go directly to the memorial.
"That's all." The emperor closed his eyes, he likes Li Yaonan's memorials, he likes to read the customs and customs he wrote, but ordinary people can have preferences, but the emperor can't do it, this habit must be quit.
The emperor didn't speak anymore, he was looking forward to what surprise Li Yaonan would give him in three years' time.
It's just that the emperor didn't expect that Yunnan would surprise him next year in less than three years. It was not a surprise, but a fright. For the first time in his heart, he regretted his decision. Li Yaonan secretly said a lot of bad things about the governor and the governor. Well, the emperor didn't take it to heart, this kind of infighting in the officialdom is not uncommon. If the emperor sits in a high position for too long, he will only speculate on the thoughts of others with deeper thoughts.
However, he would never have thought that what Li Yaonan said was all the truth, without any concealment, he told him all the facts objectively, and truly fulfilled the duties that an inspector should have.
Li Yaonan spent his days in the Yamen, but he was not idle. Every day he would carefully look through the files in Yunnan, and recorded all the geographical locations and the jurisdiction of the officials below.
Sun Ruisi made an open and unannounced visit, looking around for military defenses. Although he didn't understand Master Li's intentions, seeing his cautious attitude, as if something big was about to happen, he unconsciously became nervous and acted more cautiously.
Lin Yixuan started to walk around in recent days, others didn't look at Li Yaonan's face, for the sake of Jingyanghou Mansion, they didn't dare to neglect him too much.
Wang Langzhong had a toothache when he saw him, and he avoided seeing him several times, hiding as far away as possible, he can't provoke a tigress, can't he still hide?
Lin Yixuan didn't take it seriously. His main target was actually the governor's wife. Of course, the so-called wife definitely didn't refer to his regular wife, but his charming concubine.You don't need to spend too much energy, as long as you can talk to each other, the governor was able to escape once in his previous life, and in this life he will make the governor escape faster and buy more time for your husband.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. One month later, Zhang Cheng went to Yuxi and brought Jin Xiaosan and Xin Aqi along.
Li Xu was very happy to have a playmate, and his whole person became lively and cheerful, but he still didn't relax about his schoolwork.
Lin Yixuan was dissatisfied with the names of the two children, and then named them Jin Yuxuan and Xin Zeqi. The two children are very grateful. Since losing their parents, they have no one to rely on. How could it be any better?
They know that the present opportunity is given by adults. Not only are they famous, but they can also read and write, and they may even become officials in the future. How can they not be grateful for this.
Lin Yixuan was satisfied in his heart, the husband has a good vision, and the two children are really good.
Li Yaonan was in a bad mood at the moment, frowned and looked at the person in front of him: "What's wrong with Master Huang?"
"No." Master Huang looked at him sadly, as if he had committed a heinous crime.
"I have nothing to do, I have to work, Mr. Huang please."
Master Huang looked sad and looked at him incredulously, with a heartbroken expression.
Li Yaonan felt very speechless, he thought he didn't feel sorry for anyone, why did Master Huang act like a heartless person.
Master Huang glared at him bitterly, and left angrily.
Guan Tianyou ran over to make fun of him, and said with a smile: "He's just like that, Mr. Li don't care about it."
Li Yaonan nodded, expressing his understanding, he had checked the files before, this Mr. Huang was a Jinshi of Xinke last year, not long after he was sent to Yunnan, the sense of presence in the yamen was worse than him, at least he could arouse the hostility of others, Master Huang is completely transparent.
Just be transparent, let's be transparent, Mr. Huang doesn't know what's wrong, after returning from a three-day vacation, when he saw Li Yaonan, he immediately got into a fight with him.
The colleagues in the yamen naturally laughed at the jokes and made Mr. Huang more transparent.
However, Li Yaonan felt that the whole person was not good. If you say you want to go to the bar, you can go to the bar. Mr. Huang didn't say a word, and he just looked at him with a particularly piercing eyes all day long. Li Yaonan wanted to go crazy. Who did he offend? Yes, I ran into a neuropathy.
It's not that he didn't think about punishing him, or showing him some color, but Mr. Huang, first, he didn't kill people, second, he didn't break the law, and third, he didn't disrespect him, and he didn't answer his questions. Look at you, if you really do something to him, everyone in the yamen will stare at you, Li Yaonan is not foolish enough to leave a word for others.
