As expected, the other party came with great force.
I don't see the mountains, the mountains come to see me.
Li Le suddenly realized that what he had thought was all wishful thinking. He wanted to keep a low profile and give in to save his life, but in the eyes of those who targeted him, he became an easier target to bully.
Even if he keeps a low profile, the other party will not let him go.
The more he retreats, the more dangerous he will be.
In this ancient time when Taoism was flourishing, if he wanted to save his life and have a say, he had to become a famous Taoist priest, just like the Taoist priest who died because he predicted the flood in Qingzhou. His death would alarm the central government and the people above, so much so that the emperor would ask about it.
Only when he becomes strong and valuable and enters the emperor's eyes, that group of people will not dare to attack him. No matter what kind of evil spirits they are, as long as the emperor does not want his life, in this era when imperial power is supreme, they can only watch him enjoy unlimited glory.
I'm sorry, teacher.
As your disciple, I am going to let you down and act willfully for once.
Li Le simply said, "What does Censor Qiu mean?"
When he saw this official, Li Lezhi did some calculations and found out his name. He usually responded to others' courtesy, but now that Censor Qiu was looking for trouble and wanted to punish him, he was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
Today is different from the past. His fortune-telling skills are not strong, but he also knows a lot of people. Moreover, he has the life-saving talisman of Qian Shi. As long as Lang is not dead, he dares to turn into a villain. www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
Censor Qiu was stunned by the question. He was the Supervisory Censor in the Censorate, and he looked down on everyone. A Censor was an official who dared to point out the emperor's faults. What's more, he was the Supervisory Censor, supervising the six ministries. He usually found fault with all the officials and didn't take them seriously. This was the first time he had met a tough guy.
He was furious and pointed at Li Lezhi, ready to hold him accountable for disrespecting officials and to drag him down and give him thirty lashes.
Just as he was about to speak, he remembered what Li Lezhi said. He must have heard it correctly. The Taoist in front of him called him Censor Qiu?
How did he know that his last name was Qiu and that he was an imperial censor? Did Hu Jingshan tell him? But before Hu Jingshan met him, he didn't know that he would come to Da'an County.
Did he calculate it?
No way, absolutely not.
How could he be so experienced with such a young face? I have never seen him use tortoise shells or other things. He must be pretending. He must have seen me before and knew that I was Censor Qiu.
"Have we met before?" asked Censor Qiu.
Li Le just said calmly: "No."
Then how do you know that my last name is Qiu and I am also a censor? Censor Qiu kept this sentence in his heart and did not say it out loud. Once he said it, he seemed to be at a disadvantage.
He looked at Li Lezhi suspiciously, trying to read his inner thoughts from his face and see through Li Lezhi himself.
As the two looked at each other, Minister Zhou walked in.
Minister Zhou only took a glance and could tell from their clothes who was Li Lezhi and who was Qian Xi, the son of Governor Qian.
He looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, I heard that you figured out the murderer's name? Can you calculate it again and figure out the murderer's whereabouts? Where are they now?"
"Minister Zhou, this is inappropriate. You handed such an important case to a Taoist. Don't you and the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple investigate it? Or, regardless of whether the murderer is real or not, you only want to close the case."
The Dali Temple judge who was dragged into the water looked at Censor Qiu helplessly, then looked at Li Lezhi.
He said, "I'll have to ask Taoist Li for help with this matter. This case is very difficult to handle. The murderer has wiped out all the traces. We alone cannot capture the person who is hiding in Daliang."
"The deceased Taoist priest was of a very special status. Many people are watching him, and they all want to bring the murderer to justice, so that they can execute him in the autumn."
When Censor Qiu heard that the judge of the Dali Temple had asked Li Lezhi to do the divination, he was so angry that his beard was puffed up. He pointed at the judge of the Dali Temple and said, "You also believe in the divination of this Taoist priest? He is so young, how can he calculate the murderer's name? I might as well hit my head against this pillar and die."
Dali Temple Commentary: "..."
"Hey, hey, hey," Minister Zhou hurriedly stopped Censor Qiu and said, "This is not the Golden Palace. You won't have a good reputation if you get killed. Why are you so angry? I know that you closed the case hastily because you listened to the Taoist's words and were held accountable by His Majesty, but you can't be intolerant of Taoists in the world because of this."
After his secrets were exposed, Censor Qiu was overwhelmed with shame, as if he was wearing a red mask that no one dared to look directly at.
"Zhou Yun!"
"Okay, Censor Qiu, you are just monitoring the progress of the case. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple are still investigating the case. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have no objections. You from the Censorate are still watching how we investigate the case."
Minister Zhou spoke in a gentle tone, but with a dignity that did not allow anyone to interfere. He turned his head, looked at Li Le and smiled, "It has been a while, Taoist Li, please do the math."
"Don't you suspect that what I calculated is fake?" Li Le just asked.
Minister Zhou smiled and said, "A Taoist priest who can figure out that a cuckoo has taken over a magpie's nest must be quite capable."
When Qiu Yushi heard this, he frowned. But because he was exposed by Minister Zhou, he didn't want to touch Zhou Yun, who seemed to be a good guy but was actually full of bad intentions.
He thought to himself that if this Taoist made a mistake in his calculations, he would punish him severely.
Because Minister Zhou had a gentle attitude and heard him talk about the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, it seemed that this was about the case of Liu Po replacing Yang Shaoyuan's child. Did Minister Zhou know Yang Shaoyuan?
Li Le only thought of this and didn't think any further. He nodded to Minister Zhou and then calculated with his bare hands.
Seeing him calculating with his bare hands without using tortoise shells or other tools, Censor Qiu sneered. I really don't know where this Taoist priest came from, and he even used this trick of deceiving people in front of him.
Once, Censor Qiu was deceived by a fake Taoist priest who calculated with his bare hands. When he saw this scene, he felt it was extremely dazzling.
And after Li Le did some calculations, he knew where the five murderers were now. Li Le just said, "In Yulongjian."
Yulongjian is located in Yuzhou, at the junction of Yuzhou and Zhaoguo Mountains. It is a river between the two mountains. Because it is located at the junction of the two countries, it is named Yulong.
Needless to say, everyone present except Li Le knew where Yulongjian was.
Minister Zhou was greatly surprised. He did not expect that the murderer actually went to Yulongjian and was heading to Zhaoguo from Yulongjian.
Could it be that the murderer was not from Daliang, but a spy hidden in Daliang by Zhao State? Because of the flood in Qingzhou, they knew that there was a Taoist priest who could tell fortunes in Daliang, so they killed people.
If he is really from Zhaoguo...
The corners of Minister Zhou's lips were slightly lowered, and his face was unusually solemn.
When Imperial Censor Qiu heard about Yulongjian, he sneered and said, "You, a Taoist priest, don't you know that Yulongjian is in Yuzhou, located at the border between the two countries? Did you deliberately say that the murderer is in Yulongjian to embarrass us?"
"We can't catch the murderer, and there is nothing we can do.
It is impossible to determine that your calculation is wrong?[(.)]$?$???,
Your little trick?
You dare to show off in front of me."
Li Le just looked at Qiu Yushi coldly and said: "I have already figured out where the murderer is.
What if the censor doesn't believe it?
You can investigate the case yourself and find the murderer."
"You, huh," Censor Qiu said, throwing his sleeves, "It's not my job to investigate cases."
Li Lezhi: “…”
He had never seen such a shameless person. He said everything. He neither believed that he could figure it out, nor was willing to investigate the case himself. He was really a nagging person.
Li Le was just annoyed.
He frowned slightly and said, "Why don't I do a thorough calculation for Censor Qiu? Censor Qiu must not have anything shameful that cannot be known to others."
Qiu Yushi's heart tightened, and he looked over suspiciously. Could it be that this Taoist really could tell fortunes? He refused to admit defeat and said, "How dare you tell fortunes for me? I want to see what you can tell."
Li Le just did as he wished and let it go.
After counting, he looked at Censor Qiu in surprise and said, "Censor Qiu is a clean-handed person, but he has a box of gold hidden in his home. I wonder which lord gave it to him."
"Nonsense, that box of gold is clearly the property passed down from my ancestors. Don't make nonsense and accuse me of it," Censor Qiu retorted immediately. If others thought that his gold was a gift from an official, then he would not be able to continue his position as an official.
Wait, how did this Taoist know that there was gold in his house?
That box of gold was handed down from his ancestors and could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Apart from him, his wife didn't know that there was such a box of gold in the house. He hid it in a dark room and only he had the key.
Did someone tell this Taoist priest?
As soon as this idea came up and spread to Da'an County, only this Taoist knew about it.
But he really couldn't let outsiders know about his gold, as it had the words of the previous dynasty printed on it. If others knew about it, they would think that he had some connection with the previous dynasty, and he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a mouth.
"I admit that you have some ability, but you slandered me for corruption without any evidence. You should be punished."
Li Le just said: "I just said that it was a gift from some noble, but why did Censor Qiu act as if he was corrupt and accepted bribes, as if he accepted a gift from some noble."
In a hurry, Qiu Yushi thought that Li Le only said that he was corrupt. In a hurry, what he said became dirty water thrown at him, which he could not wash away. Qiu Yushi hesitated. His previously clever words seemed to be ineffective at this moment, and he could not say a word of defense.
He was so angry that he pointed at Li Le and said, "If you think so, I have nothing to say. But you are disrespecting officials and committing crimes. You should be punished for this."
Minister Zhou couldn't stand it any longer. He said coldly, "Censor Qiu, knowing your mistakes is the best way to improve. You targeted Taoist Li because of an old incident. Now you are angry because Taoist Li has calculated something against you. You are suspected of corruption and abuse of power."
Faced with Minister Zhou's questioning, Imperial Censor Qiu was stunned. He pointed at Li Lezhi, turned around and looked at Minister Zhou in shock and said, "You suspect me of corruption and abuse of power because of this kid, Zhou Yun. If you suspect an official of the imperial court without reason, you must provide evidence."
"The evidence is in your home," Zhou Yun said with a smile, "a box of gold, Qiu Yushi, you should forgive others when you can. You also know that you have offended too many people in your daily life. If this matter is exposed, no matter whether you are really corrupt or not, there will always be someone who will make it true. In short, you should apologize to Taoist Li, and I will pretend that this matter never happened.
Pass. "
"How are you, Zhou Yun?
You actually oppressed me for this Taoist priest?
Too much bullying17?17?╬?╬17?,
Do you know who is behind me?
If you treat me like this, I won't let you off easily when we return to the capital."
The smile on Zhou Yun's face faded.
At this moment, a person whom Li Le was familiar with walked in. It was Qian Si, the long-time attendant of Governor Qian.
He looked at the people in the government office and said, "It's so lively. I came at the right time."
"Master Li, I heard you were here, so I came to give you something. I should have delivered it to you earlier, but it was delayed on the way. I hope you can forgive me." Qian Xi handed the small box in his hand to Li Lezhi, then turned to Qian Xi and said, "Master, this is the letter that the master asked me to give you."
Qian Xi took it and put it away. Then, he looked at the box in Li Lezhi's hand and asked, "Who gave this box? Was it my father?"
Li Lezhi also looked over in confusion. The box was very heavy and he didn't know what was inside.
"This is Qingzhou's Xia patrol officer sending me here. I'm sorry I offended many of your men before. Master Li, please forgive me."
"Hmm?" Li Le was just confused and calculated silently. Then he realized that the person the two officials of Chongxuan Office mentioned that day was not allowed to report by someone above him. It was Inspector Xia, who he thought was trying to kill him behind his back.
It turns out that this was all a misunderstanding.
"I don't know the reason, I just know that the person who sent the gift said that when the gift is handed over to Taoist Li, Taoist Li will naturally know."
"The things have been delivered. I'll take my leave now," Qian Si nodded to everyone and immediately left the chaotic yamen. What was going on inside was not something he could get involved in. All he had to do was deliver the things.
"Master Li, do you know Inspector Xia?" Minister Zhou asked. Without waiting for Li Le to answer, Minister Zhou ignored Censor Qiu's dark face and sighed, "What a pity. The person behind someone is unreliable."
Censor Qiu's face was dark and pale, as if paint had been spilled and smudged on his face. He had just made a harsh remark, asking Minister Zhou to be careful about the Right Prime Minister standing behind him, but in the blink of an eye, this Taoist Li received an apology from Inspector Xia.
How could he dare to offend someone who even Xia Nanshui didn't dare to offend?
Staring at everyone's gaze, Censor Qiu's body stiffened. He slowly saluted Li Lezhi, stammered his lips twice, and moved his throat slightly, but still made no sound. In front of everyone, apologizing to the Taoist priest whom he disliked, what was the difference between this and killing him.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't face anyone anymore.
But does he dare not say it, dare not apologize? He doesn't dare.
Qiu Yushi's eyes were slightly red. He suppressed the pain in his heart and squeezed out a voice from his throat. He said slowly: "I was angry with you because of the old things. I was rude first. Please forgive me."
Li Le simply handed the small box in his hand to Qian Xi, and looked coldly at Censor Qiu who was bending down slightly and apologizing to him out of helplessness.
He said coldly: "Not enough, does Censor Qiu usually slap people and apologize lightly, thinking that this matter can be forgotten."
If it weren't for the fact that Inspector Xia, who he didn't know, sent the gifts and said it was an apology, it is conceivable that it would be harder than climbing to the sky to get Censor Qiu to bow his head and apologize to him.
Even though Inspector Xia sent something, Censor Qiu looked like he was being bullied and being punched. People who didn't know the truth thought that Li Le was so arrogant that all the court officials had to endure his humiliation.
He is the villain who should be defeated.
"So what do you want to do?"
Censor Qiu asked angrily.
"No matter what, you have offended me, I can choose not to forgive you, but you'd better not make any mistakes in your life, otherwise, as long as I figure out one thing, I will not forgive you easily."
Li Le just had a dull expression.
The people present did not think there was anything wrong with what he said. In Daliang, capable Taoist priests should not be easily offended.
You can't offend villains, but you can't offend capable Taoist priests. This is something everyone in Daliang knows. If you offend someone, you must be prepared for the consequences of offending someone.
Censor Qiu fell to the ground, looked at Li Lezhi in shock, pointed at him and said nothing. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Censor Qiu fainted.
Minister Zhou and the judges of the Dali Temple watched coldly as Censor Qiu met with this end, without a trace of pity for him. Just as Minister Zhou said, Censor Qiu had been an official for many years, supervising all officials, and he often found fault with them on a daily basis, and it would have been ok if he did so in private, but this guy also liked to report them in the Golden Palace in front of the emperor.
If Censor Qiu had not been the Supervisory Censor, he would have been put in a sack and beaten if he had walked on the street.
Officials in the same dynasty naturally disliked such a person. When they saw him running into a wall, they would not say a good word for him, thus offending a capable Taoist priest.
Censor Qiu was carried away to ask a doctor for treatment.
After the people left, the government office became much quieter. After knowing Li Lezhi's ability, Minister Zhou wanted to make friends with him even more, and asked in a very friendly manner: "Master Li is very capable, can you calculate for me whether those murderers are spies from Zhao State.??[(.)]16?*?*???"
