Bai Zhentang grinned and caressed the woman's face."Soldiers are trained for a thousand days and used for a moment. Daren, I have something for you to do now, as long as you do it well. I'll save your father from prison and reunite you and your daughter.”
Thinking of her father, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. However, this hope was so slim, so slim that it was like a speck of sand in the desert. It was always tempting him, but he would never be able to obtain it.
The originally dull little face turned even paler at this moment. She asked worriedly, What does Milord want Duo Er to do?"
"You will leave this place tomorrow. I will find someone to help you create an opportunity so that you can get close to the Prefecture Overseer, Li Yi. I don't need to teach him how to please him anymore! When he falls for you, I'll inform you what to do next.”
Wang Duo 'er lay in Bai Zhentang's arms and muttered,""Li Yi!"
"Li Yi! If you don't see this old man today, this old man will kill himself here. "Li Yi..." Ma Zhiyao, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, shouted with his face red.
He held his official hat in one hand and the hem of his official robe in the other. Her tight-fitting black pants were rolled up high. His two official boots were covered in black mud. She was so angry that she walked back and forth, shouting as she walked. If not for Xiang 'er stopping him, she would have already barged into Li Yi's room and grabbed him from the bed.
Xiang 'er's face was bitter as she begged," Lord Ma, I beg you. Lord Ma only returned early in the morning after delivering the food to the disaster relief yesterday. He has just fallen asleep." If there's anything, come back later!"
"No, I want to see Milord now. I want to ask him in person if he still cares about this year's farming. If he still refuses to see me today, I'll kill myself here.”
Ouyang Bo held his sword and stood side by side with his father in the corridor opposite. It was the first time he had seen such an official. He didn't even say a few words and was already on the verge of death, making things difficult for Miss Xiang 'er so much that she almost knelt down to him. It was really a little unreasonable. Even the emperor did not lack hungry soldiers. Li Yi had returned late last night, so he had not slept for more than four hours. He didn't even get up to eat breakfast. This old man knew this, but he still didn't let it go. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was an eyesore. Ouyang Jin, who was watching the show, grabbed his son and shook his head with a faint smile.
Ouyang Bo stood beside his father and asked in a low voice,""Father, as an official of the Imperial Court, isn't it a bit against the rules to run to the door of Shangguan's room and make a scene?”
"Bo 'er, do you know who he is?" Ouyang Jin asked with a smile.”The novel network didn't jump.
Ouyang Bo sized up the lord in front of him again. He was in his fifties, had dark skin, a face full of deep wrinkles, and a thin body. If not for his official uniform, he would look like an old farmer. She really couldn't see anything different about him.
Ouyang Jin whispered," He was the one who argued with the late emperor in the Hall of Peace because of the people's fertile land. He was Ma Zhiyao, the one whose face was red and whose head hit the pillar." He was an honest official, but unfortunately, he was stubborn and did not know how to be an official. If he had a bad temper, even ten bulls wouldn't be able to pull him back. He would get angry with anyone who stopped him. Look over there."
Ouyang Bo looked in the direction his father indicated and saw Li Mu and Du Qingshan at the other end of the corridor. They were looking out through the hollowed-out holes in the wall. It seemed that unless someone died, the two of them would not show their faces.
"See, they are all afraid to hide. Why do you have to go and invite this trouble?”
"Father, he's actually an honest official. Why didn't he stay in the court and work for it? Why did he come to Pingjin?" Ouyang Bo was puzzled.”
"There are no fish in the clear water. He's too incorruptible. He only knows how to eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries. But he didn't know that it was hard to say honest words! Which emperor could endure the constant collisions of his ministers?
However, his reputation among the people was especially good. The late emperor was furious, but he could only demote him and not do anything to him. Therefore, he was demoted to Taihe Prefecture as a small official.
Taihe Prefecture had a total of six provinces. They were so frightened that they prepared generous gifts to beg the magistrate. No one dared to accept this lord.
He was too serious. No one could stand having such a person by their side. If anything happened to him, the people's saliva could drown the adults who forced him!”
"Li Yi, if you still don't come out to see me, I'll beg you with my life!”Ma Zhiyao shouted, the veins on his forehead throbbing. He stared at a wall and rushed over.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xiang 'er rushed up and hugged Ma Zhiyao's waist, shouting,""Someone, help! Someone come quickly! Help!"
Ma Zhiyao was stunned. If someone saw such a young lady hugging him and shouting for help, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
His face turned red and his body tensed up. He said awkwardly,""Miss Xiang 'er, quickly let go of this old man. It's not good for either of us!"
Xiang 'er secretly smiled and pretended to be pitiful."Lord Ma, you can let me go, but you have to promise me not to hit the wall again.”
Ma Zhiyao's head was pounding like garlic as he agreed,""Good, good, good. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Let go!”
Li Mu, who was hiding at the side, finally got the chance to swagger out and pretended to be surprised.""What's going on with Xiang 'er? Lord Ma, you, you…"
When Xiang 'er saw that Li Mu had already come out, she quickly let go and jumped to the side. She lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes with her fingers. Her bashful expression was as if she had been caught having a tryst with her lover. She was ashamed and panicked.
Ma Zhiyao stared at Li Mu with his eyes wide open, then looked back at Xiang 'er. A feeling that he couldn't explain made his entire body shiver. Wasn't this going to ruin his reputation for life?
"Please don't misunderstand," he stammered."There's nothing between me and your daughter." Miss Xiang 'er only wanted to persuade this old master not to die to see her. We…ah, no…she…I…"
Li Mu snickered in his heart. He had finally caught this old man's feet. However, he had an expression of his daughter suffering in silence. He shook his head sadly and said,"Forget it, forget it. Lord Ma, you should leave. Today's incident had never happened.”
Ma Zhiyao was even more ashamed when he heard this. He wished he could find a hole to hide in. His whole body trembled as he said,""If Lord Li doesn't believe me, Ma Zhiyao is willing to die to prove his innocence.”
Before he could finish his sentence, he walked towards the wall again. Li Mu and Li Xiang 'er were stunned. They were secretly complaining in their hearts. Why was this lord so fond of this?!
"Lord Ma, please calm down, calm down!”As soon as the door opened, Li Yi rushed out of the room. He stood in front of Ma Zhiyao.
"Lord Ma is really short-tempered. Even if it's a hundred thousand times more urgent, you have to let Li Yi put on his clothes." If Li Yi had to welcome his master as soon as he arrived, then he would really have to meet him naked!”
Ma Zhiyao saw Li Yi roll his eyes and said angrily,"Get out of the way. This old man can't ruin my reputation because of today's matter. I want to use my death to clear my name.”
Li Yi quickly jumped to the side and gestured to the wall. When Ma Zhiyao was about to start, he said lightly,""Lord Ma is a loyal official of his generation. He has always been the first to worry about the world and the last to be happy. I wonder if I can take up a little of your time. Please tell me what you want to say to Li Yi today. He would use his death to clear his name!
At that time, you can choose any pillar or wall in the Li Residence. Which one do you like? I will order someone to send it to Daren's residence. Daren can do whatever you want. Li Yi's official position was small, so he could not bear the responsibility of forcing his master to death!”
Ma Zhiyao was stunned. With Li Yi's reminder, he thought of something serious. He slapped his head and said,"I almost missed the big event. Milord, no matter what, you must get me three stones of seeds within three days.”
"Lord Ma, doesn't the Ministry of Works have money specially used to buy seeds?" Li Yi said helplessly. You can buy it yourself!"
" It's all because of you," Ma Zhiyao said unhappily." Yesterday, you made a big fuss about catching people everywhere. The merchants who promised to sell me seeds all changed their minds."
The fields outside the city could not be planted, and the fields in the city did not have seeds. Wasn't all of Ping Jin's farmland going to be wasted? How were they going to hand over the tax relief grain that the imperial court wanted next year? It was almost the end of March, and the decree to lift the ban had yet to be issued. If farming was delayed, the people would have no harvest this year. How many more people would die!
Since I can't plant it on the land outside, I'll plant it on the land in the city as long as it can be planted. I'll leave the seed to you. I don't care what method you use, but you have to give me the seed within three days. Otherwise, I'll…"
Li Yi grinned and continued,"Hit the wall!"”
" Exactly," Ma Zhiyao said solemnly." And I'm in your Li Mansion, knocking into your Li Family's wall!"”
