Chapter 34 Preliminary Preparations
Listening to Di Xiaoxu's analysis, Fang Xuanling was convinced. Fang Xuanling bowed to Di Xiaoxu and said, "Mr. Di is indeed a master of case-breaking. I admire him. I just felt that I was so ruthless, so I asked him not to be surprised!"
Di Xiaoxu shrugged indifferently and said, "It's normal for the sir to not believe it!" Looking at Di Xiaoxu's attitude, everyone present knew that Di Xiaoxu was not in a good mood at the moment. This is normal. No one is convinced and being tempted by others.
At the same time, Wei Zheng was also very unhappy in the field. After all, Di Xiaoxu was introduced to Li Haochen. Di Xiaoxu's analysis just now clearly stated that this test was instructed by Li Haochen. How could Wei Zheng not be angry? Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Xiaoxu, since the people here do not believe in your strength, let's go! Avoid being disgusted!" As he said that, Wei Zheng was about to take Di Xiaoxu away.
Li Haochen knew that Wei Zheng was not so narrow-minded, but if he didn't do anything at this moment, he might really miss the case-breaking master Di Xiaoxu. Di Xiaoxu's performance just now exceeded Li Haochen's imagination. He was very satisfied with Di Xiaoxu, so when Wei Zheng got up and took Di Xiaoxu away, Li Haochen quickly stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Wei, this matter is wrong, but you also know that this trip is of great importance, so I have to act carefully. Please don't be surprised by Brother Wei. It's Haochen's fault. Please don't be as good as me!"
Wei Zheng knew that it was not an act of impulse at this moment. If he was Li Haochen, he would probably test Di Xiaoxu. After all, he was the highest leader of this trip to Henan. He would be fully responsible. Be careful. Although Wei Zheng understood Li Haochen, he was still dissatisfied with Li Haochen. Although he did not say anything to take Di Xiaoxu away again, he sat back on the chair just now. However, after Wei Zheng sat down, he snorted coldly, making Li Haochen know that Wei Zheng was still angry with him.
Li Haochen quickly ordered the butler Fu, "Uncle Fu prepares a banquet. I want to drink three hundred cups with Brother Wei and Lord Di!" Li Haochen knew that wine was a good thing, so Wei Zheng had a few glasses of wine for him, and he would definitely be wiped out after drinking this little bit of wine.
Uncle Fu was very quick, and soon a large table of wine and food were filled with wine and food. Li Haochen smiled and greeted several people to the table. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Li Haochen told Di Xiaoxu all the tasks assigned to him this time, and asked him how we should check after we arrived in Henan and how to do it in detail.
After hearing Li Haochen's introduction, Di Xiaoxu pondered for a moment: "The situation of the Marquis is a bit tricky. It is not difficult to find out the situation. It is rare that you cannot use conventional means. Following your introduction just now, the officialdom in Henan is probably already a solid piece of iron. The wind cannot blow and the water cannot be poured in. If we show our identity when we enter the city, we may find many constraints. What we can find is what they want us to know, and what we hear is what they want me to hear. These situations are not helpful to us to find out the situation, and can only disrupt our sight."
Li Haochen probably understood what he meant when he heard Di Xiaoxu's words, and said, "What do you mean is to hide your identity and investigate the case in a vague manner?"
Di Xiaoxu hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, it's true that you are talented and intelligent. You can understand it at a glance. Xiaoxu admires it! The official's intention is officially!"
Listening to the compliments of such a capable person like Di Xiaoxu, Li Haochen was actually very helpful, but he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Di should not praise me anymore. I am really a layman in this investigation. It's better to rely on Lord Di's arrangement!"
Di Xiaoxu was very moved by Li Haochen's words just now. Li Haochen asked him to make the decision, which was to delegate power to Di Xiaoxu. In Di Xiaoxu's opinion, the other party in the world, which had been in contact with Li Haochen for less than half a day, could give him such a great trust, which made him feel a lot more favorable to Li Haochen.
Although Li Haochen gave the investigation of the case to Di Xiaoxu for full responsibility, he has never been a person waiting to pick peaches. Although he is not good at investigating the case, he still wants to do something within his ability. He asked Di Xiaoxu: "Mr. Di, I don't care about you when investigating the case. I just want to really think about it. However, if Lord Di has anything to do, please ask Lord Di to say directly, as long as I, Li Haochen, can do it, I will never refuse!"
Di Xiaoxu knew that Li Haochen's words were not polite words, so he thought seriously and said, "I need a detailed information from Henan officials. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you never stop fighting. As for the rest? There is no need for a subordinate official. Please hand over everything to the subordinate official!"
Li Haochen was very satisfied with Di Xiaoxu's performance, nodded without saying anything. At a banquet, the guests and hosts of both sides left with all their pleasures. After Li Haochen finished the banquet, he was not sober and he directly attacked and asked the emperor for someone. Li Jiancheng gave Li Haochen high hopes. Without thinking, he granted Di Xiaoxu the position of supervisor and censor of Henan Road, and asked him to go to Henan Road with Li Haochen to take office.
After receiving the imperial edict the next day, he was very happy and anxious. He was promoted in an extraordinary way. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had risen to the top. In the past, his magistrate of Luo County was only a seventh rank official position, but now he is a supervisor and censor, which is a fourth rank official position. It is equivalent to saying that he has directly advanced three full ranks. How could he not be ecstatic? He was also secretly satisfied with his choice case this time...
On the same day, Li Haochen sent Di Xiaoxu two boxes of information about officials about Henan Road. Di Xiaoxu opened the information and began to frown slightly. Di Xiaoxu frowned not because the information given by Li Haochen was wrong, but because the information given by Li Haochen was too complete. Some of these officials' small actions, hobbies, and even what they did today were all on the information. This invisibly made Di Xiaoxu feel that the workload was so large that it was a bit unbearable. However, Di Xiaoxu was a person with a strong personality. Although he couldn't stand it, he did not retreat. Instead, he looked at the situation of officials in Henan Road written on it very seriously.
However, such detailed information also made Di Xiaoxu very curious about where Li Haochen got it. In fact, Di Xiaoxu still didn't know about the Tang Dynasty Intelligence Bureau, otherwise he would not have questioned the ability of the Tang Dynasty to report to the bureau and the first intelligence leader. At the time, the Intelligence Bureau was mainly aimed at Li Shimin from Yunzhou, but only targeted the intelligence bureaus of other prefectures and prefectures at the same time. The information sentences naturally contained information about all the officials of Henan Road, and it was very detailed. Although the Tang Dynasty Intelligence Bureau is already a weapon in the hands of Emperor Li Jiancheng, the director of the Intelligence Bureau is now Lu Tong, Li Haochen's brother-in-law, and also a die-hard supporter of Li Haochen. It is naturally no problem for Li Haochen to ask him for some harmless intelligence.
