Volume II, Chapter 90: A Good Officer

Shuntianfu Yin Liu Shuxiang is also sitting in the study at this time, but he is not cultivating a relationship with his wife, but sitting there in a daze, to be precise, he is worried there.

He has been really sad these days, just for the affairs of the Huangzhuang.

Speaking of which, it is also the calamity of his life, of course he knows that the eunuchs in the palace are not easy to mess with, but he also has his principles of being an official.

He is the kind of typical cadre, the kind that is very shrewd and capable, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to the high position of Shuntian Mansion Yin.

What this official means is not that he has a clean sleeve and doesn't make any money at all, he knows that in these years, if you are so pedantic, that is, you can't get along with all the officials.

He also accepts gifts, but he only accepts reasonable gifts, that is, you are the reasonable party, or ask him to do the right thing, send something, he receives, if you are unreasonable, he will tell you about the Ming law, so that you don't waste your efforts, it is best to admit your mistakes as soon as possible, so that he can also be light as appropriate.

When he did this, he actually offended people, but he only offended half of it, and it was still a small half of the one who did evil, and more than half of the one who abided by the law, and he was still very good, so his official reputation was quite good, and at least half of the law-abiding people said that he was good.

As for those who do evil, they insist on falsely accusing him, and if he puts the charges out, there will basically be nothing wrong, after all, at this time, black and white will not be reversed, and there is no distinction between right and wrong, even if someone wants to make a bad decision, they are basically secretly making a mistake, and no one will make it clear that it is wrong to judge the case fairly.

Because of this, he rose step by step and sat on the high position of Shuntian Mansion Yin.

However, if he walks too much at night, he will always encounter ghosts, and he also knows that if this continues, one day, he will offend people he can't afford to provoke, and his official career is likely to be ruined because of his principle.

When Xu Da and the second brother Xu came to sue this time, he had a premonition that his doom might have come.

Of course he knows that he has been the Yin of Shuntian Mansion for so long, if he doesn't know this kind of thing, he is an idiot.

He knows very well that Huangzhuang is a tool for those eunuchs in the palace to make money, and if he handles it impartially, he will definitely offend the eunuchs in the palace.

However, he couldn't help it, because his principle was to handle the case impartially, and he couldn't help those eunuchs to encroach on the people's land.

Of course, even if he violates his principles and helps those eunuchs to encroach on people's land, he may not be able to make a good profit, an official like him who has always been advertised as justice, once he makes a mistake, he will definitely be impeached madly, he also knows that he has offended many people for this justice, he doesn't make mistakes, but he just can't make mistakes, once he makes a mistake, I'm afraid he won't be able to turn over once.

Therefore, this time, he still stubbornly awarded the land that originally belonged to the Xu family to Xu Da and Xu Er, and he also offended Chen Zhong, the steward eunuch of Huangzhuang in Fang County.

In fact, the eunuch in charge of Huangzhuang is not a big official, if it is only a nine-grade sesame official in terms of grade, it is far worse than him, the prefect of the third grade.

However, he also knew that it was not this Chen Zhong who was terrifying, but the great eunuch behind Chen Zhong.

This guy, although he was already mentally prepared, he didn't expect that the big eunuch would have such a lot of energy, not long after he awarded the land to the Xu brothers, he sent someone to hint at him, and quickly changed the sentence to Chen Zhong, otherwise he wouldn't do it!

Of course, he will not be frightened by a warning, and he also knows that it is impossible for the emperor to trust the words of a nine-rank little eunuch to clean up his three-rank Shuntian prefect.

However, he sent someone to check, and his heart suddenly cooled half, because Chen Zhong was a close confidant of Chen Hong, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and Chen Hong was indeed not looking for the emperor, but Xia Yan, a cabinet scholar.

Of course, he knows the prestige of Xia Yan, a cabinet scholar, and even Li Shi, the first assistant of the cabinet, is not as strong as anyone else, that is to say, people say that they want to get him down is not a lie and intimidation, but a truth.

He thought about it, and could only go to Xia Yan's opponent Yang Ming to save his life.

However, the Yangming line is not the same as Xia Yan's party, and the Yangming line does not seem to have a clear leader, so it takes a lot of thought to find someone to help.

It just so happens that these days Yang Cong, the champion of the new department, is famous, almost everyone in the capital knows that this champion has a strong background, and Liu Shuxiang also knows that this Yang Cong is the rising star of Yangming's lineage, so he asked Xu Da and the two brothers Xu to find Yang Cong.

He didn't know that Yang Cong or Yang Ming would provoke Xia Yan or even the great eunuch Chen Hong in the palace for him, at this time, he only hoped that this new champion newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and really dared to be tough with Xia Yan, a cabinet scholar.

He was sitting there worrying, when the old housekeeper outside suddenly came to report: "Master, the second brother Xu Da Xu asks to see him." ”

It's coming so soon!

Of course he knew that the two brothers Xu Da Xu had gone to find Yang Cong today, were they willing to help?

He said with some eagerness: "Quick, lead them to the backyard lobby." ”

He doesn't live in his own mansion, but in the Shuntian Mansion, there are two courtyards in this backyard, one is where he and his family live, and the other is the Fucheng family, the so-called backyard lobby is the lobby in the middle courtyard of the two houses.

After he finished speaking, he got up and walked to the lobby in the backyard, and not long after he sat down, the two brothers Xu Da Xu came.

After the two sides greeted each other, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, what does Lord Yang say?" ”

Xu Da hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If you go back to your lordship, Lord Yang said that if you are free, it is best to go to him in person." ”

When Liu Shuxiang heard this, she couldn't help but be excited, and asked herself to go to him in person, that is, there is a play, if people refuse to help, then what else to find, just refuse.

At this time, Yang Cong was also meeting guests in the lobby, and after the two brothers Xu Daxu left, he ordered someone to find Li Twelve.

Li Twelve was desperate to follow Yang Cong at this time, especially after seeing the scene of Yang Cong's marriage, that guy, that pomp, who in the capital can compare, he knows that it is absolutely right to follow Yang Cong, not to mention glory and prosperity in the future, glory and wealth must be indispensable.

Yang Cong is also quite good at Li Twelve, he basically lets Li Twelve do the work of paying for things, such as purchasing grain, such as customizing carriages, he knows that there must be a lot of oil and water in the middle, he doesn't ask about these, he just wants to make Li Twelve feel that he has a head to follow him.

When he was with Li Twelve, he didn't put up any severance, as soon as people came, he invited them to sit down, and he also ordered someone to serve fragrant tea.

After the two exchanged a few words, he asked solemnly: "Twelve, do you know Liu Shuxiang Liu?" ”

When Li Twelve heard this, he nodded again and again: "My lord, you are talking about Lord Liu Shuxiang of the capital capital, the little one still knows him well, and the little one has dealt with him a few times." ”

I also dealt with him, and the relationship was good, Yang Cong asked directly: "What kind of person do you think he is?" ”

Li Twelve thought about it carefully, and then said concisely: "To say that the little one is small, he feels that he is a good official, not hypocritical, he will do things when he receives money, but he will not do bad things, he will collect the money that should be collected, and he will not accept the money that should not be collected, and he will never embarrass people, nor will he help the abuse." ”

Good officer?

There is still such an official in this world, who collects money from people, and people still say that he is a good official!
