Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Who is your master?"

Before Zhang Fu could speak, someone outside the door shouted, "That's my father!"

Immediately afterwards, the crowd of spectators divided, and five people came out.You can tell by looking at the clothes that it is a son with four companions.

This young man looks like a young man, about 24 or [-] years old, with frivolous steps, pale complexion, puffy eye bags, and a look of excessive drinking.

The yamen servant seemed to know this person, so he didn't dare to stop him, and let him walk to the lobby Shi Shiran.

Li Yifu frowned and said, "Who are you? Who is your father?"

"My father is Zhang Xin!"

Chapter 2074 I want an official document, I will write one now

Since Li Yifu was the county magistrate of Lingquan County, of course he had put a lot of effort into the officialdom of Jiannan Road.

As soon as he thought about it, he understood who Zhang Xin was.

This person is his immediate boss, the governor of Maozhou.

If it is an ordinary county magistrate, he really can't stand up to this Dudu Zhang.Maozhou is different from other places, Han and Liao live together, and the military and government are integrated.Zhang Xin is in charge of the overall situation, similar to a local emperor.

Whether the county magistrate below is good or bad, it all depends on his words.If he gave an inferior comment, the county magistrate's official career would basically be over.

However, then again, Li Yifu is really not afraid of him.

First, there are people above him.Li Daliang won the trust of His Majesty Li Er, and was granted the title of Duke of Wuyang County.It is much more powerful than the little-known Zhang Xin.

It's really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Of course, and most importantly, Li Yifu has a new big brother.This person was mysterious and refused to reveal his true identity.

If he revolted against the Tang Dynasty, then Li Yifu would be implicated and executed.Compared with this matter, whether the relationship with Zhang Xin is good or bad is nothing.

What if he helped Li Yifu to suppress the rebellion in the three states in one fell swoop?The most important military exploits in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yifu will surely rise to the top.At that time, it is not certain who will rely on whom.

Therefore, even though he knew the true identity of this young master, Li Yifu was not too flustered.

He smiled slightly, and said, "Oh, so it's Mr. Zhang. Please take a seat!"

The young gentleman sat down there with a golden knife, and said: "You are acquainted. You don't need to call me Mr. Zhang from now on. You should be more born. You can call me Boping."

"Okay, brother Boping, I don't know what you are talking about today?"

"Why does County Magistrate Li know what to ask? I heard that a businessman who didn't open his eyes beat up my house manager, so I came over to have a look. How is it? Have you cleared up the case?"

"This... is almost the same."

"Okay, hurry up and arrest these troublemakers. My people will be taken away now, and we will see you later."

Zhang Boping talked to himself, stood up and wanted to take someone away.Li Yifu hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute!"

"What? What else? Oh, I see."

Zhang Boping stretched out his hand, and took out a stack of banknotes from Changlefang Big Bank from his sleeve pocket, and said, "At first, I wanted to give it to you privately after the church. But since you are so impatient, it's the same now. You just Take it."

It's too creative to pay bribes in the lobby under the watchful eyes of everyone.Li Yifu was so angry that his whole body trembled, he said: "You... who do you think I am?"

"Magistrate Li, don't be embarrassed. As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, who doesn't know who? Besides, you don't take this money for nothing. Our Zhang family in Shiquan County still has some small businesses. Please Please take care of me."

Li Yifu said seriously: "If the business conforms to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, someone Li will definitely take care of it. But if it is not in line with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, then it's hard to say. In addition, please take back these money notes."

Zhang Boping's face changed slightly at first, and then he smiled again, and said, "I see, you are embarrassed to accept gifts here. It's okay, what's there to be embarrassed about? A bunch of foolish men and women are not worth it at all." We men are scruples. Come, come, take it for you!"

He got up as if no one else was around, and with the banknote, he was about to go to Li Yifu's official case to make do.

Li Yifu couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped the gavel, and said: "Bold! How dare you bribe this official in front of the court! There is no kingly law, how can this be paid? Someone! Take him down for me!"

How dare these yamen servants arrest the eldest son of the governor's family?But the county magistrate had to listen to him.Ever since, the two team leaders came over and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't make things difficult for our buddies."

Zhang Boping snorted heavily, and said, "Why are you pretending to be noble! If you don't want it, then don't. What's the big deal? Let's go!"

Li Yifu sneered and said, "Brother Boping, you can leave. However, the stewards of your family have to stay, this case is not over yet."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. It's just that your manager buys and sells by force, and is suspected of murder. The county needs to investigate clearly before leaving."

"You kid, are you making it clear that you won't give me face?" Zhang Boping said angrily: "My father is Zhang Xin, do you understand?"

"Of course I know. However, the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people, let alone a small governor's mansion? Could it be that he is more valuable than the prince?"

"You, you... good! What a sharp mouth!" After saying this, Zhang Boping calmed down surprisingly, and said, "You are trying the case, can I listen in?"

"Of course, ordinary people can listen in, let alone Mr. Zhang?"

"Then you go to trial. I want to see how you punish Zhang Fu! If you dare to bend the law for personal gain, I will never tolerate you!"

"Where is it, Mr. Zhang is overthinking."

Then, Zhang Boping patted the gavel and said, "Zhang Fu, are you convicted?"

Zhang Guanshi said nonchalantly: "The villain doesn't know!"

"I don't know? You clearly admitted just now that Zhou Zhenglong's words are true, why are you refusing to plead guilty? Don't you want to play tricks on me?"

"I admit it?" Zhang Fu said with a sneer, "Who heard that? Master Qingtian, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately! If you don't believe me, you can ask the yamen servants in the hall and the people outside the door. Did any of them hear me admit it?"

"I..." Li Yifu understood that everyone was afraid of Zhang's power, even if he asked, it would be humiliating himself.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, even if you didn't admit it. Now someone is suing you for buying and selling by force and killing people. What do you have to say?"

Zhang Fu said confidently: "It is true that there is such a thing as forced buying and selling. It is true to beat people in the street. However, I didn't intend to kill him, I just wanted to frighten him."

Li Yifu was overjoyed and said: "Is this true? Do you dare to make a confession?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"Okay! Come here, give him a confession!"

After Zhang Fu finished drawing the confession, a big stone in Li Yifu's heart fell to the ground. He said, "Brother Boping, this is a confession drawn by your subordinates. I neither tortured nor induced a confession!"

"Well, I saw it." Zhang Boping raised his eyebrows and said, "So what? Do you think you can punish him with this confession?"

"Why not? According to the law of Zhenguan, buy and sell by force..."

"Hehehe... County Magistrate Li, this is because you only know one thing and not the other. Maozhou is a Jimi state, and the customs and customs are different from those in Han. Naturally, the laws cannot be forced to be consistent."
