Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"You are the Duke of the country, so you should be in front."

"You've done me such a big favor, how dare this old man pressure you with the title of duke? Besides, you are the imperial envoy, please!"

"Let's invite Mr. Li, you are old."

"Nephew Zhang Xian is young and promising, but he is a latecomer, and he should go forward bravely and be at the forefront!"

"Uncle Li has made outstanding achievements, and he is an elder. The younger generation has not made an inch of merit, so how dare you walk in front of you, Uncle Li invites you first!"

"..."

Tang Jian and Changsun Wuji stared at the two of them dumbfounded, good guy, you two are being polite, one is an uncle and the other is a nephew?

"Okay, the old man will go ahead and lead the way for you!"

Li Ji looked at Zhang Dun with a big smile, this kid is young and will come to trouble, he is a good seed.

When he went to the county government to ask for someone, he felt that Zhang Dun had a sense of righteousness, and now it seems that he was right!

Seeing Li Ji striding out, Zhang Dun glanced back at Tang Jian and Changsun Wuji, and said with a smile: "Tang Fu Yin, Changsun Shangshu, let's go too."

Tang Jian and Changsun Wuji came back to their senses, strode together with him, followed Li Ji, and left the British government.

"Magistrate Zhang, you are really amazing."

Tang Jian said with emotion: "Mr. Li, you can settle it down."

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "It's not me who settled Li Gong, but Qian who settled Li Gong."

Changsun Wuji walked beside him, stared at him and said, "From the beginning, did you intend to exempt Li Gong from the money?"

Hearing this, Tang Jian froze for a moment.

Zhang Dun pondered for a few seconds and said, "It can be said so."

Since he knew that Li Ji owed 230 million guan, he felt that Li Ji was a breakthrough.

If he owed less money, maybe not.

The problem is, he owes 230 million guan!

So much money, can he afford it?

If Li Ji can afford it, 230 million guan is enough to give the emperor a job.

However, with the British government being made like that, it was obvious that Li Ji couldn't afford to pay back the money.

"Tell Li Ji that there is no need to pay back the 230 million Guan, and he will be happy to help you."

Changsun Wuji said with a straight face: "If you please the civil and military officials, the civil and military officials will not give him much benefit, but if you help you, the benefit is ready-made. What Li Ji said is right. If I were an old man, I would know How should I choose?"

"But!" He raised a finger and said solemnly, "What His Majesty asked us to recover is 800 million guan!"

Chapter 219 The creditor and the debtor are mixed together?

"Now that you have directly exempted Li Ji for 230 million crowns, why are you dealing with His Majesty?"

Zhang Dun shook his head and said: "Shangsun Shangshu, the lower officials didn't say that Li Gong would be exempted from 230 million guan, but only 80 guan from him."

"With 80 guan, I can get Mr. Li to help us. I think the money is worth it."

"or……"

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "Shangsun Shangshu, there are other ways to get back the remaining money?"

Changsun Wuji choked.

Want all the rest of the money back?He really has no such ability!

"You are the imperial envoy to recover the arrears. You have the final say. This old man is just an adjutant."

Changsun Wuji said in a muffled voice, "This old man just thinks it's inappropriate."

Tang Jian suddenly said: "You can pull it down!"

Changsun Wuji glared at him, "Why are you talking?"

Tang Jian said unhappily: "What do you want me to say? I think the county magistrate Zhang has done a good job!"

"Isn't it a good idea to spend eighty guan and get back 500 million guan? If you don't spend this money, can you get the rest of the money back?"

"This matter is to stab His Majesty, and I think His Majesty knows what to do!"

"Moreover!"

Tang Jian said solemnly: "If you can get the money back, we will make a great contribution. You don't want to make a contribution?"

The old man is a fart for meritorious service!

The corners of Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched a few times, he is now Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Duke of Qi, and also participates in political affairs!

In the political affairs hall, he has a place!

If you do more meritorious deeds, what can you get?

The title and official position are all over!

Meritorious service is not important to him.

The main thing is to look at Zhang Dun's joke and let out a bad breath!

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt regretful, if he had known this, he should have held him back from the beginning.

Now he has convinced Li Ji.

If you think about it again, it's difficult!

Zhang Dun looked at Changsun Wuji, wondering why he had such a big prejudice against him.

There is hope for the recovery of arrears.

On the contrary, Changsun Wuji was very angry, as if he was only happy if this matter could not be done.

Zhang Dun shook his head secretly. If we investigate this matter slowly in the future, we can always find out the reason.

The most urgent thing now is to recover the arrears first.

Li Ji walked in the front, looking very relaxed.

Li Ji didn't think it was important what Zhang Dun and the others were talking about.

Most importantly, he now feels debt free!

Comfortable!

As for offending civil and military officials, that's a trivial matter!

With a smile on his face, Li Ji led them to a mansion.

Zhang Dun was surprised, "Is this the Duke's mansion of Duke Mi?"

Li Ji nodded with a smile, glanced over the three of them, and asked, "Have you ever been here?"

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "I've been here, but I haven't even seen anyone from Duke Mi."

"You come with the old man."

With his hands behind his back, Li Ji strode to the door of the mansion, and patted on the door.

"Crench!"

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, the head of the housekeeper of Duke Miguo's mansion popped out. When he saw Li Ji, he said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Li, are you here?"

It all depends on this shield whether the Duke of the state and the civil and military officials can not pay back the money.

To Li Ji, he had to be polite.

However, when he saw that Zhang Dun, Tang Jian, and Changsun Wuji were still following behind Li Ji.

The smile on the housekeeper's face froze immediately.

Li Ji asked, "Is Duke Feng here?"

"exist……"

The housekeeper hurriedly nodded, and then said cautiously: "Mr. Li, why did you come with Magistrate Zhang and the others?"

Li Ji said lightly: "He has their affairs, and this old man has his own affairs. It's just a coincidence."

The mansion housekeeper suddenly realized, turned sideways to open the door, spread his palms and said, "Please come in, Mr. Li."

Li Ji hummed, stepped over the threshold, and walked into the mansion of Duke Mi.

"We're going in too."

Zhang Dun gave Tang Jian and Changsun Wuji a look, and moved to keep up with Li Ji.

However, when they reached the door, the mansion housekeeper stopped them, and said with a half-smile: "Eldest Sun Shangshu, Tang Fuyin, Zhang County Magistrate, my Duke didn't say that you three should come in."

"Then what's the matter?" Suddenly, Li Ji's voice came over, "You want them to wait at the door?"

"One of them is the Duke of Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the other is the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the other is the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty."

"You lost your mind and went crazy. How dare you tell them to wait at the door? If you offend them, do you and your family still want to gain a foothold in Chang'an City?"

"The three of them can't deal with your country's father, and they can't deal with you?"

Hearing this, the mansion housekeeper's expression froze, and he looked back at Li Ji who was stunned, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Why did Li Ji talk to Zhang Dun and the others?

Isn't he still in debt?

No matter how you look at it, they seem to be in the same group!

The mansion housekeeper shook his head and said: "Grand Li, I'm working in the government of Mi State. If I don't report to the Duke, let Zhang County Magistrate and them come in. How can I gain a foothold here?"

Li Ji nodded and said: "That's true, you go and tell your Duke."

"No!" The mansion housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands at them, and walked quickly towards the hall.

Not long after, he ran over quickly and said, "Mr. Li, Changsun Shangshu, Governor of Tang Fu, County Magistrate Zhang, my country is here to invite you!"

Zhang Dun smiled, cupped his hands at Li Ji, and then walked into the hall with Tang Jian and Changsun Wuji following the mansion housekeeper.

In the hall, Feng Deyi frowned and sat in the chief position.

Seeing Zhang Dun bringing people in, he pointed to the cases that had been laid out expressionlessly, and said: "Magistrate Zhang, Tang Fu Yin, Changsun Shangshu, and Li Gong, all sit down."

"Thank you, Duke Feng." Zhang Dun cupped his hands and sat down.

Feng Deyi looked at Li Ji, and said with a straight face: "Li Gong, what do you mean?"

Li Ji asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Feng Deyi pointed at Zhang Dun, and said with a straight face: "Why did you get mixed up with him?"

One is the imperial envoy to recover the arrears.

One is owed and not repaid.

These two people suddenly got mixed up, and Feng Deyi felt that something was going to happen.

Li Ji smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence."

Feng Deyi sneered and said: "It's all right if you lie to the old man's housekeeper, and you still lie to the old man?"

As he said that, his eyes shifted to Zhang Dun, and he folded his arms around his shoulders and said word by word: "Magistrate Zhang, how did you persuade Li Ji?"

Seeing that Feng Deyi was so straight-forward, and didn't say much nonsense, Zhang Dun also said bluntly: "So that the Duke of Miguo knows, it's not how the subordinates persuaded Li Gong, but Li Gong paid back the money, so naturally the subordinates also Don't make things difficult for Li Gong."

"At the invitation of the official, he and the official came to the mansion of Duke Mi."

Feng Deyi frowned: "Are you a ghost? Can he pay back the money?"

Li Ji said angrily, "Why can't the old man pay back the money?"

Chapter 220 Zhang Dun: I Accept Repayment in Installments

Feng Deyi looked at him and snorted coldly: "You owe the imperial court 230 million guan, how can you get so much money to pay the debt?"

Li Ji pondered for two seconds, then looked at Zhang Dun.

It's hard for him to say this.
