Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Yingzhou is not the northernmost territory of the Tang Dynasty, but it is the only city bordering Goguryeo!

To the southeast, but more than sixty miles, is the Jian'an City of Goguryeo!

The cavalry will go forward, but it will take half a day to arrive!

Ten days after leaving Youzhou, the army arrived at the city of Yingzhou according to the expected time!

In terms of the entire north, Yingzhou is considered a large state, which governs the three states of Liao, Yan, and Chang, and supervises the county of Liucheng. In addition, it also includes a large area of ​​uninhabited mountains, forests and grasslands.

The larger the place, the greater the power of the chief official.

Although far inferior to Li Daliang, the governor of Youzhou, Zhao Gongquan, the governor of Yingzhou, is also a figure that should not be underestimated.

At this moment, he is leading the officials of Yingzhou City, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Liu Bai and the others sat in the carriage, parked behind the army, without revealing their identities.

As the person in charge of Jin Yiwei, Wang Shouren naturally wouldn't 'fight' an unprepared battle.

He took out a booklet from his sleeve, flipped through a few pages, and said to Liu Bai in the car curtain, "Young master, this is the information of Zhao Gongquan, the governor of Yingzhou!"

Liu Bai took it and took a look.

On it was written Zhao Gongquan's birth date, resume, and various things about him.

“Looks like a nice guy”

Liu Bai flipped down, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

On the surface, he looks good, and his resume is really beautiful, but behind the scenes, this guy is not a good bird.

A common problem of border officials.

greedy!

To be honest, Liu Bai thinks it's not too much to be greedy for money, it's just human nature.

As long as you are willing to do practical things for the people, you can be greedy if you are greedy. Who doesn't have a family to support?

Moreover, Liu Bai was thinking about how to handle Zhao Gongquan, and this time he had a good reason.

He planned to stay in Yingzhou for a period of time, and he must not let this Zhao Gongquan delay his important affairs.

Chapter 395 Compared with official positions, money is nothing?

Zhao Gongquan is 46 years old this year. For court officials, it is the time when they are most aggressive.

However, being an official in a place like Yingzhou is tantamount to exile!

This is the frontier!

It is only a short distance from Goguryeo!

In addition, there are the Turkic and Xi people in the north, the Shiwei people's nest in the northeast, and the Tang Dynasty in the west, but it is a wasteland.

Only due south has no enemies.

that is the sea

Want to make some achievements?

In a month or two, the news will not reach Chang'an!

Besides, there are hundreds of local officials with the same status as him in the entire Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty knows which onion and garlic he is?

He no longer has any further thoughts, and he has shown signs of breaking the can in recent years.

Not only did they do business on the border of Yingzhou with great fanfare, but they also had the courage to communicate with the Goguryeo people in private.

He also has a bottom line, knowing that things like potatoes and corn cannot be sold.

The most lucrative business is glassware!

For some reason, there are more glazed wares on the surface of Chang'an City, and the price is almost cut in half.

He secretly sent people to Chang'an to buy glazed wares and resell them to Goguryeo.

The price has increased by four or five times according to the cost!

But now it's different!

The imperial court intends to use troops against Goguryeo, at least to stay in Yingzhou for a year or so.

Zhao Gongquan felt that he could no longer continue to do business. If he could seize the opportunity, he might not be able to ask His Majesty for mercy and transfer him to Guanzhong!

Compared with an official position, is silver a fart?

Marshal Cheng and General Zhang were graciously received outside the city, and Zhao Gongquan wholeheartedly invited them, but because they were in important positions, the two refused to live in the city no matter what.

Zhao Gongquan is not in a hurry, anyway, there will be opportunities to deal with each other in the future.

When he returned to Dudu's Mansion, he suddenly discovered that there was a convoy parked at the gate of his house!

Zhao Gongquan was suddenly furious.

How can there be such a person?He even blocked the door of his own house!

"Go and drive these people away!"

With a sullen face, he ordered his subordinates.

Before the subordinates had time to take a step, Zhao Gongquan's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly pulled him back.

"My mother! I almost got into a catastrophe!"

He suddenly discovered that on the largest carriage, there was a willow leaf-shaped logo!

Isn't that the Liu family's carriage? !

Now, how can there be anyone in Datang who doesn't know the young master of the Liu family?

Zhao Gongquan hastily lifted his official cap, removed the pleats of his official uniform, and said to the people next to him, "Go and order someone to sweep the courtyard and tidy up a few guest rooms!"

After speaking, he took small steps and walked towards Liu Bai's carriage.

As he walked, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Right in the middle!

I always heard that the young master of the Liu family has a good relationship with His Majesty, and with the bigwigs from the three provinces, it's so good that he almost wears a pair of pants.

It's a hundred times better to have a good relationship with him than with Cheng Shuai?

"Xiaguan Yingzhou governor Zhao Gongquan, met Mr. Liu!"

After a stick of incense!

Sitting in the living room of the Dudu Mansion, Liu Bai was holding tea, savoring the taste carefully.

Except for Xu Chu, no one else got out of the car.

They did not intend to live in Yingzhou Dudufu.

The Liu family owns quite a lot of property in various places, and since the young master is here, the treasurer of Yingzhou will naturally arrange everything in advance.

A cup of tea bottomed out, Liu Bai put down the cup.

The taste of this tea is far inferior to those sold in Liu Ye Xuan, it can only be regarded as a taste, to warm up the body.

He looked at Zhao Gongquan with a half-smile, stretched out his finger, and tapped on the table lightly.

The voice was not loud, but Zhao Gongquan was taken aback!

Zhao Gongquan cried and stood up tremblingly, probably because he was frightened, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground with a 'plop'.

A few pieces of paper in his hand also fell down.

"Young Master Liu Liu, I'm sorry, I've never done anything to be sorry to Tang, nor have I ever done anything to be sorry to you, Mr. Liu!"

Liu Bai's smile became wider.

"Of course Liu knows"

The few pieces of paper in Zhao Gongquan's hand are his incriminating evidence!

It is too easy to handle Zhao Gongquan.

As soon as Liu Bai entered the door, he directly stuffed the criminal evidence into Zhao Gongquan's hands, which made him baffled.

After seeing it clearly, Zhao Gongquan realized that what he had done in the past few years was clearly written on it.

Even how much money he earned, it was all clear!

It's more detailed than what's on your own account book!

It's rather complicated for someone else to collect these secret things.

But Zhao Gongquan is in the glassware business!

Who told that ninety-nine percent of the glazed wares on the surface of Chang'an City come from the Liu family?

It's too easy to check.

Moreover, there is Gao Tan on the Goguryeo side to help, just ask anyone, and you will know what is going on between Zhao Gongquan and Goguryeo.

Zhao Gongquan wanted to die.

Originally thought that Liu Bai's coming to Yingzhou was a great opportunity.

Moreover, it became a reminder!

The imperial court is about to start a war with the Goguryeo people. If His Majesty knows that he is doing business with the Goguryeo people in private, wouldn't he kill himself alive?

In addition, there is also the money I was greedy for, and the bribes I received, and they are all written clearly!

Seeing the last line, Zhao Gongquan almost passed out.

Why did Liu Bai find out about the two thousand guan from Splendid Trading Company yesterday?

"Master Zhao, Liu has something to ask for."

Zhao Gongquan stood up all of a sudden.

"Young Master Liu, just give orders! It is my duty to serve as an official!"

He is also a sensible person.

Since Liu Bai has something to ask him to do, at least it means that this criminal evidence will not be placed on His Majesty's dragon case in a short time.

Furthermore, with the guillotine in Liu Bai's hand, it's equivalent to washing his neck clean and waiting for the knife to be dropped, is it okay if he doesn't agree?

Even if Liu Bai wanted his own wife, he had to give it to her!

He even had to deliver it to his room in person!

Liu Bai was very satisfied with Zhao Gongquan's attitude.

"I heard that Mr. Zhao has a good relationship with Ulji Wende, the guard of Jian'an City?"

Zhao Gongquan was sweating profusely, not knowing how to answer.

"This, this, it's true that we have dealt with each other a few times, and it's all about business matters. However, the lower official has never met him, let alone anything involved in the court!"

Zhao Gongquan quickly explained, for fear that Liu Bai would misunderstand.

Liu Bai shook his head, and said in displeasure: "Such a good relationship, what if we don't maintain it properly? Liu has brought several gifts this time, and he wants to give Ulchi Wende to Ulchi Wende through Mr. Zhao's hand. Mr. Zhao thinks, Is it easy?"

Zhao Gongquan was taken aback.

A gift for Ulchi Boonduk?

What does this mean?

Chapter 396 I gave you a total of 300 pieces of glazed wares, and they actually sold nearly [-] million pieces

A blind person can see that Liu Bai is going to play a big game of chess!

After this trip, the cost alone was hundreds of thousands!

This is still on the surface.

Few people know how much preparation Liu Bai has made in private.

Lao Qian, the treasurer of Yingzhou, is not blind, so he knows that the young master's trip to Yingzhou this time is definitely not for fun!
