Two hundred and twenty-six: Wuji blacksmith shop

Half a month ago, Zhishuangyi promised Li Buzhuo's office in the middle of the night that he was the Thousand Households of Shenzhashi and gave him a document, but the matter was not made public. Li Buzhuo did not participate in the Tiangong Grand Tour, and when he returned to Hedong County, he was silent.

Due to the special status of Shenzhasi, in half a month, Li Buzhuo had no way to understand the Thirteenth Office stationed in Hedong County. Considering that even if there was a document with a frost coat, if he was in Shenzhasi, even if he was not afraid of his subordinates' open exclusion, he would not be able to prevent them from hiding and let him take care of it. So when he returned to Hedong County, Li Buzhuo was not in a hurry to take office.

After placing luggage at the inn, I was about to learn about Shenzhasi first. At first I went to visit Bu Donghua, but I learned that Bu Donghua was not here and came to meet Cao Yan, the spiritual official of Hedong County who had had an intersection.

The groom was allowed to communicate with the officers and soldiers guarding the gate. Li Buzhuo waited for a moment, and Cao Yan went out to greet him in person. After about twenty steps, he raised his voice and said, "It turns out that it is the arrival of the Xinke Jieyuan Grand Master. It's really a mistake to welcome him." After approaching, he looked at Li Buzhuo secretly. This young man with an ordinary cultivation when he first arrived in Hedong County a few months ago, and when he left the palace to take the imperial examination, he became famous as a young master. He had spread throughout most of the Xinfeng Mansion. He couldn't help but sigh a lot. He thought it was a pity that he was not born in this era of great prosperity in Qi Refining.

Li Buzhuo tested his body and was half a step behind Cao Yan. He asked Cao Yan to ask Cao Yan: "How can you please come out to greet him in person?" Although Li Buzhuo's official position was about to suppress Cao Yan, he did not lose his etiquette at this time and asked Cao Yan to enter the mansion first. After all, Cao Yan was an old man who was about to finish his bones. Although his level was not high, his seniority was far higher than him.

Seeing that Li Buzhuo had become successful all the time, his expression was not arrogant and purple. He couldn't help but secretly praised him. He led Li Buzhuo into the yamen residence and said, "Your deeds in the palace examination are far away in Hedong. I can hear the news. I am worthy of being a young talent, surpassing my peers. Come in quickly."

Li Buzhuo and Cao Yan entered the Lingguan Office, but saw that the remains of burning fire behind the yamen residence were still preserved.

After sitting down at Yinbin Hall, Li Buzhuo put down the tea bowl and said directly: "To be honest, I came to Hedong County this time to take over the position of Thousand Households of the Thirteenth Office of the Shenzhasi Department. However, do I know what I know about the Thirteenth Office? Lord Cao has lived here for a long time, can you help me understand one or two?"

"Shenzhashi Qianhu?"

Cao Yan stood up suddenly, with an unbelievable look flashing across his face. Shenzhashi Qianhu is a fifth-rank position. Even if Li Buzhuo knew Yuan, he would not have been promoted so many levels in a row.

Besides, Yuan Xiong, a thousand households in Shenzha, is still there. Cao Yan has been an official for so many years and has never seen two thousand households in the same office. If Li Buzhuo hadn't spoken nonsense, would Yuan Xiong be promoted and left Hedong County again?

Li Buzhuo nodded and said, "No, but I was able to get this position because I was just lucky and had no experience. So as soon as I returned to Hedong County, I came to ask Lord Cao for advice before I took office."

Li Buzhuo's words made Cao Yanda, who had just held his breath at the He family banquet, feel comfortable. Then he couldn't help but feel shocked. His eyes were very different when he looked at Li Buzhuo. Previously, he regarded Li Buzhuo as a poor family, but no matter how shocked Li Buzhuo was, if there was no one behind him, how could he get the position of Shenzhashi Qianhu with one hit by Jie Yuan?

With a slightly bitter smile, Cao Yan sighed, "I can't call him a question. Shenzhasi acts mysteriously and has great power. I just recognize the identities of the ranks of the ranks. Today, the He family was the largest banquet in the Wenyun. This officer happened to have some contact with Yuan Qianhu at the banquet."

When Li Buzhuo saw Cao Yan's expression strange, he felt a move.

"Mr. Cao?"

"I've lost my composure." Cao Yan quickly put away his expression, but he still couldn't resist his worries and wanted to remove the topic.

Li Buzhuo asked afterwards: "Who Yuan Qianhu has a good relationship with the He family?"

When he learned that Li Buzhuo was also a member of Shenzhasi in the future, Cao Yan knew that it was very rude to talk about Shenzhasi in front of Li Buzhuo, but he was also a person who was about to retire. Yuan Xiong and the He family did not take him seriously, so what was he afraid of? What happened at the banquet today and sighed: "At the banquet today, Yuan Qianhu helped the He family to pressure the He family to buy land. This is a big deal or a small thing. If someone investigates it, I was the one who was punished before the He family was punished. I was about to retire, but I was put on a word."

"Then Yuan Qianhu is also domineering..." Li Buzhuo thoughtfully. As a Shenzhashi Qianhu, he colluded with aristocratic families and put pressure on a county spiritual official. If anyone knows this, in the future, it would be said that it would be abolished and exiled for thousands of miles.

Moreover, Li Buzhuo was a little puzzled. Zhi Shuangyi asked him to take over from the Thirteenth Office. Why did the Office already have a Qianhu? And judging from the behavior of Yuan Qianhu, most of them did not know that he was going to take over.

Li Buzhuo suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that when Zhi Shuangyi was in Hedong County, he saw Yuan Xiong as a Qianhu, who had accepted bribes and colluded with a family, so he was dissatisfied with Yuan Xiong, so he asked him to take over Qianhu with her own document to alert Yuan Xiong?

Sure enough, it was a good move. I don’t know if it was intentional or coincidental, but it seemed that she did not send anyone to tell the Thirteenth Institute that I was going to take over.

The calculator in his mind, Li Buzhuo thought that this might be a test for Zhi Shuangyi. Although the fifth-rank official position is very high, not everyone can sit firmly. Now that the original Qianhu is still there, Li Buzhuo will directly take power, and he will definitely be hostile to Yuan Xiong. With Yuan Xiong's accumulation in the Thirteenth Division, if Li Buzhuo directly enters the Shenzhazi Division, he will probably be under the power of Yuan Xiong under his command. Unless he has insight in advance, he will not be played with and applauded...

Slay two birds with one stone.

"I have a reluctant request." Cao Yan suddenly spoke, not claiming to be his official, and his face was sad. "I am going to retire and return home. When I encounter this matter now, it is a stain on political achievements. If the adults take over, can I help me suppress this matter? As for thanking me, naturally..."

“No need.”

According to the intention of Zhishuangyi that Li Buzhuo had figured out, it was a foregone conclusion that he wanted to hit Yuan Xiong. However, Li Buzhuo directly rejected Cao Yan's thank-you gift, and did not agree to Cao Yan's request.

Shortly after the two talked, Li Buzhuo said goodbye and left Lingguanya and came to Wuji Blacksmith Shop at the end of the long street. When it was time to farm, it was the time when the blacksmith shop was booming. At this time, the door of Wuji Blacksmith Shop was closed. When he inquired, he had been out of stock for more than ten days.

Li Buzhuo let the sword spirit sense the fifteenth sense, and the magic weapon in the blacksmith shop was unknown.

"Have these master and apprentice left Youzhou?"
