Chapter 56: Collusion between Officials and Bandits
"Brother is also there?" As soon as Xu Chenghuan entered the door, he saw Bai Xianghuan standing on the side, nodded and asked first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bai Xianghuan was stunned for a moment, and nodded a little uncomfortably: "I'm waiting for my father, it's so late, my sister hasn't slept yet?"
"Don't you think this father has come back and come to see? Xu Chenghuan gave Bai Xianghuan a smile.
Bai Xianghuan felt very weird, but he didn't have any conflicts with his sister, he just stood up again, looking at the beauty picture on the lampshade, not knowing what he was thinking.
No matter how much his father treated him with a nose that was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, he still kept his duty as a son, waited for Bai Bingxiong to return in the front yard, and came to the main courtyard together.
Bai Bingxiong just washed his hands and face and came out, and when he saw his daughter also coming in, he was about to scold his son, so he turned around and swallowed quietly.
The brother and sister finally saw that they could nod and say a word now, so why did he spoil the atmosphere.
Yes, since Xu Chenghuan figured it out, he was polite when he saw Bai Xianghuan in the past two days, no matter how much Bai Xianghuan was puzzled, he could find out what was wrong.
He also knew that he was an older brother, and his heart couldn't be smaller than his sister, and his attitude towards his sister was much better.
In this way, not only Bai Bingxiong looked comfortable, but Mrs. Bai was even more happy.
She pulled her daughter to sit down, happy and disgusted: "You have fallen asleep, why do you have to get up again?"
"Father is back, I want to come and see. Xu Chenghuan comforted Mrs. Bai, and looked at Bai Bingxiong again: "Father, have things been handled properly?"
Bai Bingxiong had a smile on his face, rubbed his big hands and praised his daughter: "It's all in place, this time, it is estimated that I can record a first-class merit, this is all Huan Niang's idea!"
"But father, the troubles you will face in the future will inevitably increase, and your three subordinates, has your father arranged it?"
Bai Bingxiong stared at his daughter's dark eyes, his face was a little gloomy, and his heart was blocked for a while.
He thought he was a brother who had died, but he was a jackal who had died! After so many years, his eyes were simply blind!
However, Bai Bingxiong is a man who can afford to let go, and he only thought about it after a moment of sadness, originally this world, that is, people's hearts are treacherous, and being betrayed by his brothers is not a big deal.
"I have already transferred them far away, and I will have nothing to do with them in the future, so rest assured. β
Xu Chenghuan nodded, Bai Bingxiong was not stupid.
Not to mention that Bai Bingxiong and these people will not be brothers in the future, and they will be disgusted with each other, but if they are still stirring up in a camp, according to the villain nature of those three people, they are afraid that they will have no fear of what they will do in the future, anyway, if something happens, someone will try to find a way, how can they be happy?
It's so far away, it's also worry-free, but it's not appropriate to make more trouble at this time, and it's cheaper for a few of their villains!
"It's just that my father has to be careful, it's easy to dodge with open guns, and it's hard to guard against hidden arrows, these three people are just clowns who jump off the beam, as long as my father investigates more in the future, this kind of thing won't happen, and my father wants to guard against it, or people in the shadows. β
Bai Bingxiong stared at his daughter in a serious tone, and couldn't figure it out: "What else?"
Xu Chenghuan couldn't care about Bai Xianghuan's discrepancy in his eyes, and said the worry in his heart: "Otherwise, why did my father think that the government had encircled and suppressed Liu Qiandao every time in vain, but my father did it without premeditation, and it became a thing?"
She is not a woman who is only raised in the boudoir, she has seen most of the twists and turns in Xiao Shaoyunlong's case, and Xiao Shaoyun will analyze them with her one by one when she is free.
At present, the most serious banditry in the Great Qi Dynasty is all in the northwest and southeast areas.
On the surface, it is because the sky is high in these places, the emperor is far away, bandits are rampant, and the officials sent in the past are not familiar with the place and it is difficult to perform, and the suppression of bandits is a big problem, but in private, the bandits can be easily encircled and suppressed by the government, or because there are people in the government who collude with the bandits.
"Father, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, as long as there are enough benefits, cats and mice can still be safe, let alone people? β
Xu Chenghuan didn't say it so clearly, but it was enough for everyone in the room to understand.
Bai Xianghuan said angrily: "My sister is saying that officials and bandits collude? Father's suppression of bandits will harm the interests of those who collude with bandits? Are you talking nonsense?"
Looking at his standard upright student appearance, Xu Chenghuan couldn't help but think of the actions that can be seen everywhere in the capital every year when he opens Enke.
Full of enthusiasm, with the world in mind, and taking the country and the people as their own responsibility.
This is actually a beautiful life, you can't see those darkness, you don't understand those filth, and the world in your eyes should be bright and infinite.
But it's a pity that people who don't understand these things will fall countless times in the cruel officialdom battle, and they may not be able to get up again.
How can such a white brother be good?
Xu Chenghuan decided to teach him a lesson.
"Brother, you don't have to. There are so many people in the world, there are righteous people like you, and there are villains who are incorruptible and shameless, why are you so excited? And people often say that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. If you don't believe me, you ask your father, is there anything unusual about this crackdown on bandits?"
Bai Xianghuan looked at his serious sister, and looked at his father with his chest heaving a few times.
"Father, is that really the case?"
Baek Byung-woong has calmed down from the shock.
He knew that his daughter was smart, but he didn't expect it to come to this point.
He sighed, "It's true. Although Liu Qiandao is ferocious, he is not good at marching and arranging formations, and the government has failed to encircle and suppress it, I actually suspect it. This time Liu Qiandao was arrested, and he shouted in person, saying that there were people in his official mansion, let me let him go, and it was easy to say anything. I ignored him, but I didn't ask who it was. In the future, I will also be careful, Huan Niang, don't worry. β
Xu Chenghuan bowed his head and didn't say anything further.
Bai Bingxiong is an upright person, he found out this kind of thing with his own eyes this time, and his mood must be very complicated, but fortunately, he also knew not to cause trouble, so he didn't ask any questions. Otherwise, if he knew who the person who colluded with the bandits was, that person would definitely not be at peace with him, and it would be better to pretend to be confused, that person would not know whether he knew it or not, but would not act rashly.
At this time, it is much safer not to know than to know.
After so many years, Mrs. Bai also knows these cats, only Bai Xianghuan, who looked like she was hit hard, and kept muttering: "How can this be, it is obviously a peaceful and prosperous world, how can it be like this!"
Xu Chenghuan was a little helpless: "Brother, the peaceful and prosperous world is also relatively war-torn and displaced, some things, no matter what the world, there will always be, just like you stand under the scorching sun during the day, no matter how bright and bright, there will always be shadows under your feet, no matter how peaceful and prosperous the world is, it is inevitable that people's hearts will be dirty." β
"Such a simple truth, brother, you have read so many books, don't you still understand? If you make up your mind to take the road of the imperial examination, then the charm and charm that you will see in the future, the hearts of the people are sinister, there will only be more, not less, brother, if you can't even face this, then how will you gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future?"
Bai Xianghuan's face was hot when his sister said this, he said it like a nerd who was dead to study, but when he looked at his sister, he found that the girl in front of him did not have any ridicule on her face, and her serious appearance was like a master in the county school, with a convincing bearing.
He was stunned, and was speechless for a while.
Bai Bingxiong and his wife didn't pay attention to him, his naΓ―ve temperament had to be changed. However, the two invariably glanced at their daughter a few more times.
On the pointed little face, when he said this, he was serious and calm, and it really didn't look like what a young woman of this age should have.
After Bai Bingxiong finished eating, he remembered one thing again: "Xian'e, what, what about the woman I brought back?"
Mrs. Bai's eyebrows suddenly rose: "What, are you still thinking about that little widow?"
Bai Bingxiong knew that he couldn't mention this matter, and if he mentioned it, he would be scolded!
"I brought this person back, I can't just ask without asking, right?
If it weren't for the presence of his children, he would have liked to have a good conversation with his mother-in-law about his loyalty.
"I have already sent it away yesterday morning, and I sent someone to send it to Sunjiazhuang according to your instructions, you can rest assured!" Mrs. Bai snorted coldly and said.
The woman didn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp, and while crying and begging her to take her in, the demon looked around, it was better to send it early, so that she wouldn't look at her pitifully and leave her.
Mrs. Bai didn't let Xu Chenghuan know about it at all when she sent people away, and Xu Chenghuan remained silent about it.
The family of four gossiped for a while before they went back to sleep.
When Xu Chenghuan lay in the warm quilt again, he began to think in his heart, it was time to mention the matter of moving out of the main courtyard.
The adult daughter still lives in the same yard with her parents, which is always an embarrassing thing in a large family.
