After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Du Qi roughly understood.
It is true that Guan Zhilan set up a name to make money, but what he did was within certain limits. The businessman could bear it, so he chose to endure without suing. Guan Yi is the official of the parents, and angering Guan Yi is tantamount to angering the local bully in Puchang County.
This is absolutely not cost-effective.
So far, Guan Zhilan is still rampant in Puchang County.
Du Qi changed the subject and said, "The shopkeeper, Guan Yi pampered his son and allowed him to do anything wrong. From the looks of it, Guan Yi, the county magistrate, is probably not very good. He must be a corrupt official."
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "If you want to say this, it's really not true. As the county magistrate, Guan Yi loves the people, is honest and upright, which is quite good. The reason why Puchang County is what it is today is all thanks to the magistrate Guan. It's just him This son is just a little incompetent. Whether it is Guan Yi's official style or Guan Yi's ability, they are all excellent."
After a pause, the shopkeeper continued: "Just like I just called him by his first name. In other places, if you dare to call the county master by his name, that would be a serious crime, and you might have to be punished. Our Master Guan, as long as you don't break the law, even if you call him by your first name, he won't hold you accountable."
Du Qi asked: "How do you know?"
The shopkeeper said: "Someone used to call Guan Yi's name directly, but was arrested by a businessman who wanted to curry favor with Guan Yi. That is to say, the name is just a code name, there is no problem in calling him by his name, as long as there is no violation of law or discipline, everything is easy to talk about.¡±
"Since then, everyone knows."
Speaking of the county magistrate, the shopkeeper became interested. After all, there is no business now, so the shopkeeper continued: "But our county magistrate Guan is not a soft-hearted person. He has a very hot temper."
"He handles government affairs, which is extremely strict. But anyone who does not follow the rules, or violates the law and discipline, will be severely punished. You can call him by his name, but it is absolutely not allowed to violate the law and discipline."
"Otherwise, you will be severely punished."
The shopkeeper said: "It's just his son, there's no way. After all, no one is perfect, and Guan Zhilan also hid it from Guan Yi. No one told Guan Yi the news, so naturally Guan Yi didn't know about it."
Du Qidao: "In this case, I would like to meet our county magistrate Guan."
The shopkeeper said: "This young master has come from afar. If you are a businessman, if you want to see Guan County Magistrate, you only need to submit a post and you will be able to see him. Because Guan County Magistrate has always strongly supported businessmen, and I hope that businessmen will be in the city." Business. Everyone knows about this matter. You only need to inquire about it a little, and you will know it all."
Du Qi also laughed when he heard this.
This is a good thing.
Du Qi chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, and after getting to know Guan Yi's situation clearly, the shopkeeper finally got busy, and Du Qi and his party also left. The group wandered around the city again, continued to learn about the situation in Puchang County, and finally found an inn in the city to stay.
To inquire about the situation, one must stay.
In the room, the host and guest are seated.
Du Qi looked at Shang Guanyi, Ma Zhou and Lai Ji, and asked, "What do you think of Guan Yi?"
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, according to the information we have inquired, the common people's opinion of Guan Yi is excellent. I have also figured out Guan Zhilan's situation. Guan Zhilan has nothing to say here. He is just a playboy, but his People are pretty smart."
After a pause, Shangguanyi said: "Guan Yi is capable of governing the region, but he can't control his son. I think Guan Yi is either a truly capable minister or a corrupt official with deep thoughts. Great loyalty is great treachery, which is polarized."
Lai Ji thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I prefer Guan Yi as a loyal minister. The common people have a very good opinion of Guan Yi. It is said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. When Guan Yi is an official, as long as there is a disturbance, there must be news. Now that we have visited around, there is no negative news about Guan Yi at all, and no one has accused Guan Yi. So I tend to think that Guan Yi is a capable minister."
Shangguanyi said without hesitation: "Laiji, you think too much about things. We are the king's counselors, and the suggestions we put forward must be comprehensive. If there is a problem according to your inference, it is tantamount to covering up Guan Yi." .¡±
Although Lai Ji said that Shang Guanyi is the leader, the opinions may not necessarily be unified. He said: "What I have expounded is a tendency, not a conclusion. Moreover, at present, it is just a synthesis of news from various aspects, and there is no real investigation. So there is nothing to say that Guan Yi is a loyal minister or a traitorous minister.?Usefulness, right now it¡¯s just giving a general direction. "
Ma Zhou, on the other hand, did not speak.
He let Shangguanyi and Laiji argue, because this was the first time such an argument had occurred.
Du Qi didn't stop him either, and the reasoning became clearer and clearer. What's more, it's a good thing to have disputes. It doesn't mean that the cabinet will always have one voice and that's a good thing. After a long time, the two of them were already arguing with red faces, but they didn't argue with each other.
?Because the public says that the public is right, and the woman says that the woman is right.
Du Qi said, "Stop!"
In a word, the two did not speak to each other.
Du Qidao: "There is no need to argue. What kind of situation is Guan Yi? Let's talk about it after contacting people. In addition, since there are disputes, we should focus on the actual investigation. The two of you are doing research in the city, from the county. Yazuo officials, merchants in the city, ordinary people, and soldiers in the garrison, all investigated and concluded. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. As long as the investigation is clear, there will naturally be an answer. Your disputes, In fact, they are all their own tendencies, and each has its own reasons, but to determine a winner, it depends on the results of their respective investigations."
"yes!"
Shangguanyi and Laiji answered at the same time.
The two of them had no opinion on Du Qi's arrangement, after all, Du Qi had already agreed.
Du Qi looked at Ma Zhou again and said, "Ma Zhou."
"The minister is here!"
Ma Zhou answered immediately.
Du Qi ordered: "You take this king's token, go to the county government office, and call Guan Yi to come to the county government office to meet me."
"yes!"
Ma Zhou answered immediately.
Du Qi waved his hand, and the three of them performed their duties and went to work on their own.
The three of them got up and walked out of the study room. At this time, Shangguanyi and Laiji were a little angry with each other because of the dispute, so they left first. Ma Zhou took the token representing Du Qi and went straight to the county government.
From the inn to the county government office, because the inn was also in the north of the city, it took Ma Zhou less than a quarter of an hour to arrive outside the county government office. He walked to the steps of the county government office, looked at the government servant standing guard at the door, showed his token and said, "Notify Guan Yi to accept the order, King Xia has an order."
"yes!"
The Yamen servant didn't dare to delay, so he went to notify immediately.
The yamen servant did not doubt whether it was true or false, because this matter could not be false. Who dares to pretend to be King Xia, is that impatient to live? So after the yamen servant went to notify, not long after, a man in his early forties but with gray temples came out, and he looked quite old.
This person is indeed Guan Yi, the magistrate of Puchang County. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
