Dai Siqi moved her gaze from the door that had just closed to the hot water cup on the coffee table, she gently picked up the cup, and touched her lower abdomen with one hand that still carried the residual warmth of Lin Fei's palm, and tears unconsciously slipped down again.

The woman wept and said softly: "Lin Fei, why are you so good to me...... Why?!

I know that your kindness to me comes from the bottom of my heart and without any intentions......

But...... I don't want you to be nice to me!

On that day, I had already made up my mind to drive you out of my heart! Forget you completely! I'm trying to do it, too!

Do you know? These days, I deliberately avoid you and deliberately don't see you. How painful and difficult I was...... to gradually forget you.

However, you just used a few casual words, just a few glasses of tasteless water, just a few wisps of care, a few pieces of warmth, and all my efforts were completely destroyed! Collapse the emotional fortress I've just built!

Lin Fei, you are so bad! You're so ruthless!

Now, you have quietly entered my heart again, and where will I go?

I don't have the courage I used to have, and just now, I tried to forget you again. However, at that moment, my heart became extremely painful!

You are not only a big ** with a heart, but also an upright gentleman. You can deliberately tease me with words and provoke Ding Lu; But you don't take advantage of people's dangers, and you don't desecrate women's bodies. And that's what fascinates me.

You bastard guy! You're just a stinky man who's so bad that people mess up! You are a good and addictive man!

I hate you......"

……

At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights are shining, and the Xia family of Zhanglin Courtyard in Dingcheng City.

Xia Xian, who had a gloomy face, sat in the middle of the living room, and on the sofa opposite sat He Yusheng, the mayor of Dingcheng.

He Yusheng lowered his head, his brows tightened, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at Xia Xian and said, "Old chief, I am very distressed now, the citizens call us to report the problem, but I can't do anything.

The biggest headache for me is that I can't give them a reasonable explanation, so I can only temporarily bear the infamy of not being in his position.

However, I am really unwilling, I don't want to let his mistakes alone ruin the hearts and minds of the people we have just won! ”

"Of course I know you're struggling. Tu Shubin is not an ordinary person, he came to Dingcheng only to gild, and as far as I know, he plans to transfer back to Kyoto next year.

Over the years, Tu Shubin has relied on his father's influence in Kyoto, and has always been arrogant, never taking me seriously. ”

Xia Xian frowned and shook his head, "Yusheng, this is a fact, I am Tu Shubin's superior leader, and in terms of position, I should be able to manage him." But why is he so fearless?

It is because he knows very well in his heart that although I am in charge of the work of the nine southeastern provinces, I can also be called a high authority, but I can't help his father. ”

When He Yusheng heard Xia Xian's words, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, he swallowed his throat, and said, "Old chief, over the years of following you, you have always emphasized to me that the power in our hands is given by the people, and no matter how big it is, it can't be great.

However, I now feel more and more that in our case, sometimes on the contrary, the law has become pale in the face of power......"

"Jade Sage, you're right, it's true." Xia Xian took a sip of tea and nodded, "I'll tell you the truth, recently, I have been constantly reflecting on myself, whether I want to continue my current work, whether I should choose to retreat to the mountains and forests." ”

"Old chief, if you have such thoughts, I really can't see a glimmer of hope anymore." He Yusheng frowned and stared at Xia Xian, "Over the years, I have always regarded you as a role model, and I am determined to be like you, to be a good official and a clean official who is honest and upright, law-abiding, loyal to the country, sympathetic to the people's feelings, upright, and clean with clean sleeves!" ”

"Yusheng, you are strict! You are still young, and the days ahead are long, so don't be discouraged. And I'm getting old and a little overwhelmed. ”

Xia Xian looked at He Yusheng and frowned slightly, "Again, I must remind you again that you and I are not officials, but servants!" ”

"Yes, old chief, I see." He Yusheng nodded, "When I heard your words just now, I not only felt sad and sad, but also heartbroken and distressed!" ”

Xia Xian smiled faintly and asked, "Yusheng, I want to ask you, you keep saying that you are a good official and a clean official." So, let's say that we are officials for the time being. Do you know what good officials and clean officials have to fight against? ”

He Yusheng thought for a while and said softly: "It's a corrupt official!" It's corruption! ”

Xia Xian asked, "You're right. Then do you know what factors will affect good officials and clean officials? ”

"Old chief, please be clear." He Yusheng looked at Xia Xian quietly.

Xia Xian leaned back on the sofa and said softly: "Whether it is a good official or a clean official, they also have certain limitations, and they will be affected by many factors such as region, physiology, and family.

These factors will cause certain limitations in their individual abilities, and at the same time, they will also limit their anti-corruption effectiveness in a certain way.

By virtue of their principle of being officials, the Qing officials were able to put the government in order and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

But this influence is very limited, and can generally only be affected within the scope or region of their power, and can not be done outside their jurisdiction. For society as a whole, they are even more powerless.

From a physiological point of view, no matter how honest an official is, his anti-corruption power is still limited by the objective law of life.

When a clean official becomes sick, old, or even dead, the anti-corruption campaign they advocate will end with the loss of his position and the end of their life.

This was especially evident in the feudal society in the past, where even if the Qing officials had the heart to bless the country, they could not reverse the situation of the entire country due to their limited individual ability.

Another point is the family factor of officials, which may also be a force hindering the anti-corruption of clean officials. I remember that in ancient times, a Qing official once said with emotion: It is very difficult to be a clean official! The wives and slaves are willing to be clean officials, and then the clean officials can do it, otherwise they will change their guards.

It is conceivable that a small environment in which a clean official depends for his survival is particularly important. If his wife and children think about brocade clothes and jade food all day long, looking forward to wealth and glory, how easy is it to be an official and want ice and jade? ”
