Volume 1 Chapter 79 For the sake of profit and not will
How to deal with the government test cheating case, Li Yuezhong did not ask Yang Cong's opinion, because Yang Cong is just a child at best, and as for the identity of Yang Cong's rich family, in Li Yuezhong's opinion, it is not worth it at all.
He thinks that Yang Cong is a little minion who is attached to Xu Jie, as long as Xu Jie's side says it, Yang Cong will definitely not dare to have any opinions.
Yang Cong's identity at this time is indeed nothing, but at this time, he is of great use to Xu Jie, whether it is a wealthy family or an alliance with Zhang Yue, Xu Jie has to use him, Xu Jie doesn't want to make trouble with him because of this matter, so after the handling plan of the government test cheating case was decided, Xu Jie deliberately took a time to come to Chengtian Temple to relieve him.
Yang Cong has been wondering for the past few days, this house test is over, Wu Tang and Chen Wenjie have also gone in, why Xu Jie has not let him go back, and besides, Master Xuezheng has not spoken, Wu Tang, Chen Wenjie and Song Yingkui have been locked up without announcing the verdict.
What's going on here?
On this morning, Xu Jie finally came, and after Yang Cong invited him to the lobby of the main mansion to sit down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Zisheng, what the hell is going on, why hasn't the verdict been pronounced by Lord Xuezheng, is he also afraid of the maritime giants?" ”
Xu Jie smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Qingfeng, this is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, do you think that Master Xuezheng and Chen Wenjie have a grudge?" ”
Just kidding, Yang Cong shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be." ”
Xu Jie then asked rhetorically: "Then what do you think the academic and political master should do with Chen Wenjie?" ”
Yang Cong couldn't help but gloat: "Why do you have to lock up Chen Wenjie for a few years, so that this guy knows that he knows how powerful, right?" ”
Xu Jie shook his head, and asked rhetorically, "Is it any good for Xuezheng to imprison Chen Wenjie for a few years?" ”
Of course, there is no benefit, not only is it not beneficial, but it will also offend the Longxi Chen family because of this.
Yang Cong finally understood a little, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Zisheng, what do you mean, Master Xuezheng plans to release Chen Wenjie?" ”
Xu Jie nodded lightly and said, "Yes, Master Xuezheng plans to release Chen Wenjie, Song Yingkui and Wu Tang in the afternoon." ”
"This!"
Yang Cong couldn't help but complain: "Brother Zisheng, did you just spare Chen Wenjie like this?" This time, he wants to destroy our Hui'an Yang family! ”
At this time, Xu Jie had already intended to cultivate Yang Cong, and he patiently explained: "Brother Qingfeng, many times the contest in this officialdom is for profit rather than for spirit, if there is no inextricable mortal enmity between the two sides, basically you will not fight to the death." Just like this time, Master Xuezheng and Chen Wenjie have no mortal enmity, why should he hold on to Chen Wenjie, he wants to provoke the Longxi Chen family, and directly impeach him with this government test cheating case, his future is likely to be ruined. Moreover, this imperial examination fraud case is too involved, even if Longxi Chen does not come forward to impeach the Xuezheng Lord, after this matter reaches the court, the Xuezheng Adult and the prefect will also be implicated because of it, if you want to change you, what will you do? ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but ponder,
Admiral Xuezheng Li Yuezhong really has no enmity with the Longxi Chen family, and he can't lock up Chen Wenjie to anger the Longxi Chen family, and considering the impact of the imperial examination fraud case, if he is asked to come to the superintendent Xuezheng, he will also choose to make the big thing small and the small thing small!
Thinking of this, he could only sigh helplessly: "Alas, such a good opportunity, it's a pity, this scholar is too cautious, can't he give Chen Wenjie a little punishment, will Longxi Chen really fight with him for this?" ”
Xu Jie shook his head again, and patiently explained: "You are wrong, it is not the intention of the Xuezheng Master to let go of Chen Wenjie, when I first negotiated, I didn't think about biting Chen Wenjie." In the officialdom, you must pay attention to words and looks, and you must know how to take into account the overall situation, you know? You can't do anything for your own selfishness, you have to take into account the feelings of many people, and you have to think carefully about what the impact of everything has on the relevant officials, so that others are willing to stand on your side, not on the side of your enemies, you know? ”
This is still a bit esoteric for the current Yang Cong, but after all, he has been a human being for two lives, and after thinking about it carefully, he still roughly understands that the first thing to consider in this matter is the feelings of Admiral Xuezheng Li Yuezhong, if he ignores the feelings of others and insists on biting Chen Wenjie, it is very likely that he will push people to the side of the Longxi Chen family.
Although he figured out this truth, he still felt a little regretful, this opportunity is really rare, it's a pity, it's a pity.
He could only say regretfully: "Alas, it's really a little unwilling to let Chen Wenjie go for nothing." ”
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie still shook his head and said: "Who said that he would let Chen Wenjie go in vain, since he dared to provoke trouble, of course he had to pay the price if he failed, otherwise, who would be afraid of whom, who would obey whom, if it didn't like it, he would do it, and if he lost, he would continue, then this officialdom would not be peaceful forever." Since the Longxi Chen clan has lost this time, it will definitely have to pay a price, but this way of paying also has to consider various factors. To put it simply, they have to pay the price, and the cheating case must be suppressed. ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he was curious: "Oh, then how do they pay the price?" ”
Xu Jie said lightly: "For example, Song Yingkui, since he is on the wrong team, he will have to pay the price, he will take the initiative to resign, and his position will also be taken over by a fellow disciple of his brother." There is also Chen Wenjie, he has no fame and no official position, so he can only be compensated with silver, so let my brother call the shots for you, and let the Longxi Chen family compensate you 10,000 taels of silver. ”
fainted to death, it turned out that the price was paid like this, it seemed that Xu Jie had gained a lot of money, but he didn't get any benefits.
10,000 taels of silver is indeed a huge amount of money for others, but it is nothing to him, it is better to change Chen Wenjie for a few months.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "This 10,000 taels of silver can be regarded as a thank you gift from the junior brother to Brother Zisheng." ”
Xu Jie shook his head again and again and said: "This can't be helped, my brother is not a corrupt official, I took this ten thousand taels of silver, where to put it, if someone finds out, how to explain it?" You should take this silver, the harvest for your brother is big enough. ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he thought about it again, and then proposed: "Otherwise, I don't want this 10,000 taels of silver, let Chen Wenjie write a letter of guarantee and promise not to retaliate against me within three years." ”
Xu Jie didn't answer and asked: "Do you think Chen Wenjie won't trouble you if he writes a guarantee?" ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he said embarrassedly: "It's possible for this guy to go back on his word, but this thing is better than nothing, right?" ”
Xu Jie still asked rhetorically: "Are you afraid of Chen Wenjie?" ”
Are you afraid of Chen Wenjie?
I'm afraid of his fart!
To put it bluntly, Chen Wenjie is a pampered son-in-law, although there is no problem with his brain, he doesn't understand any human accidents, and he is impulsive and brainless, and it is not very difficult to deal with it.
Yang Cong thought about it, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid he's not going to be there, it's just that this guy is always ghostly, which is really a bit annoying." ”
Hearing this, Xu Jie stared at him, and said meaningfully: "Brother Qingfeng, sooner or later you are going to enter the officialdom, this kind of stupid opponent is not easy to encounter, take this opportunity to exercise well, when you get to the court, it is a crisis step by step, the enemies are all old foxes, and they are not so easy to deal with." ”
