Volume 1 Brave New World Chapter 54 The First Heart
The victims were still registering to receive food, and Zhong Yebai and his entourage had already entered the Chen County Mansion under the welcome of Shen Qian and Shen County Guard, and the "disaster victims" of more than 100 people were naturally brought into the county government prison.
In the lobby of the county government, Shen Qian gave up the main seat to Zhong Yebai very interestingly, Zhong Yebai was not deliberately restrained, and sat on the main seat, Shen Qian was second, Gao Jian and Happy were second, and Niu Si was also among them.
"Shen Junshou, do you know what kind of gift I want to give you this time?" Zhong Yebai put on the same expression that he had just put on the city tower.
Shen Qian is also a smart person, and besides, the great gift given to him by His Royal Highness the Prince of Fang Cai is really a great surprise to himself, this time, Shen Qian has already guessed one or two.
"Xia Guan guesses that His Royal Highness the Prince intends to eradicate a cancer for my Chen County, Xiongshou Mountain!"
Zhong Yebai was not surprised that Shen Qian guessed his thoughts at once, such a simple question, Shen Qian could not guess, and Shen Qian had to pretend that he couldn't guess, Zhong Yebai didn't plan to give him this big gift.
Zhong Yebai originally planned to find out the bandits who killed Qingzhou Taishou, so as to sell Qingzhou Taishou a face, but after arriving in this Chen County, he found that this Shen Qian was also a talented person.
Born in a poor family and has no background to rely on, this is a big disadvantage for Shen Qian, who is in the officialdom, especially in this era of many families.
But from a humble background, there is no background to rely on, in Zhong Yebai's opinion, it is a great advantage, since he can't rely on others, then he can be his only backer, isn't it?
What's more, Qingzhou Taishou was also a feudal official in the Great Xuan Dynasty, and he sold this favor to him, and he might buy it in person, but what about behind the scenes?
In his own world, there is a country called beautiful and strong, but not necessarily beautiful and strong, so Zhong Yebai has seen what it means to be in front of the face and behind the scenes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
But you can't rely on yourself, you are only the prince of the king of Chu, and you have not served in the imperial court, if you want Shen Qian to follow you wholeheartedly, you have to pave a road for him, and the people of officialdom are naturally the road of officialdom.
Therefore, he still has to find someone for Shen Qian who can promote and reuse him, and Qingzhou Taishou is the best candidate at present, both Shen Qian's chief official and the only person who can recommend Shen Qian to Beijing as a Beijing official.
"Shen Junshou is really smart, but you only guessed half right, the big gift I gave you is bigger than you imagined!" Zhong Ye Bai Xuanzhi said to Shen Qian.
Shen Qian scratched his head, "Could it be that Lord Shizi plans to help Xia Guan pull out all the tumors in this Chen County?" It's not that Shen Qian is unwilling, it's just that my Chen County is vast and sparsely populated, there are many mountains and rivers, bandits are really rampant, there are a total of eighty-one mountains, large and small, if you want to pull them out one by one, I am afraid it will take some time, His Royal Highness the Prince is in a hurry to return to Beijing, can help me Chen County pull out this Xiongshou Mountain King right, Xia Guan is already grateful, and he dare not delay His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's trip anymore!"
Zhong Yebai slapped his thigh, "Shen Qian, what you think is quite beautiful, I have helped you sweep up the bandits in Chen County, what are you doing as a county guard, I'm not talking about this!"
Shen Qian was ignorant, and he really couldn't guess what His Royal Highness the Prince of the World said was about giving him this big gift.
"The lower officials are stupid, and please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to make it clear!"
Zhong Yebai laughed, "Do you know why I have to find out Kuang San, and I have to help you crusade against that Wang You?"
Shen Qian's expression was solemn, "The floods in the south have caused countless victims, but these bandits still want to take the opportunity to cause chaos and harm the people, that Wang You is even more hateful, not only robbing people of money, but also hurting people's lives, they must be brought to justice!"
Zhong Yebai continued, "You are right, these bandits are really hateful, they must be eradicated first and then quickly, but eradicating the bandits of Wang You can not only pull out a tumor for your Chen Jun, but also have other effects behind it!"
"Do you know whose family is on the carriage that Wang You robbed and killed on the road? That is your chief official, the family of Qingzhou Taishou, after I help you exterminate this group of bandits, you will hand them over to Qingzhou Taishou, and you will be sure that you can move forward smoothly!"
After Zhong Yebai finished speaking, he thought that Shen Qian would thank him as if he was inside the city gate, but who expected that Shen Qian would have a wooden expression, shook his head secretly, and said lightly, "No matter whose family it is, it shouldn't suffer from this disaster!"
This sentence was plain, but when it came out of Shen Qian's mouth, Zhong Yebai heard it in his ears, and it was a thunderbolt in his mind.
Zhong Yebai's mind suddenly went blank, and then all kinds of experiences in the previous world flashed in his mind like a movie, in the desert of the Middle East, fighting against terrorists, and the comrades-in-arms around him sacrificed in front of him one by one, the beautiful continent in the south, incarnated as a drug dealer and broke into the drug production and trafficking group, although the task was completed, but many comrades were sacrificed, but the back was still stabbed by the beautiful and strong country.
But which of his comrades-in-arms and his comrades risked this great danger to do tasks in order to be promoted and make a fortune? How could he have forgotten his original intention, which he had never dared to forget, after only a few days in this world?
Thinking of this, Zhong Yebai felt that his consciousness was not as good as this one who was crawling around in the officialdom and beating Chen Jun's guard, Shen Qian.
Shen Qian, a bureaucrat in the feudal empire, could still put the safety of the people in his heart at all times, and he even wanted to exterminate the bandits as a shortcut to Shen Qian to win him over.
I must strengthen my beliefs, I can't forget my original intention, and my faith can't collapse. At the same time, it is also necessary to re-examine the bureaucracy in this feudal dynasty, Shen Qian, who was born in a poor family.
Zhong Yebai was stunned for a long time, and couldn't say half a sentence.
Seeing this, Shen Qian thought that he had said the wrong thing, which made His Royal Highness the legendary moody prince unhappy, and hurriedly walked in front of Zhong Yebai, leaned down and apologized to Zhong Yebai.
"The lower official said the wrong thing, please don't blame His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Zhong Yebai finally came back to his senses and patted Shen Qian's back.
"Lord Shen is for the country and the people, and he handles official affairs without mixed personal thoughts, so the pattern of this world is small!"
Zhong Yebai said sincerely, but in Shen Qian's ears, it was creepy, and he quickly knelt directly in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and was about to kowtow and beg for mercy, but Zhong Yebai hurriedly helped him up.
"Shen Junshou, this son of the world has no other meaning, just simply admires you. You are from a humble family, it is difficult to do things in this era, this son of the world dare not say to be your backer, but if there is anything in the future that needs the help of this son, just say it!"
When Shen Qian heard this, he was also stunned, is this the legendary cynical man in the capital, who not only harmed countless women, but also harmed many officials?
It wasn't until he heard Zhong Yebai calling his name behind him that he came back to his senses.
"Shen Junshou, why don't you come over and make the following plan to exterminate the bandits together?" Zhong Yebai said lightly.
