Chapter 141: The situation is complicated

"Well, how is it white water?" Olivia was about to take the cup and drink it, but found that it was not the wine he wanted to drink, and couldn't help but wonder, "It was Count Clifford who told you that drinking more plain water is beneficial." ”

"yes." Winnie smiled and sat down next to Olivia, "You see how good Earl Clifford is, not only resourceful, but also well-informed, I believe there is nothing wrong with listening to him." ”

"You, you." Olivia smiled, not angry, but happy, happy to see his daughter befriended Clifford, because it would be of great benefit to their family. Don't look at him as a chief inspector now, equivalent to the director of public security in later generations, his position is not low, and he has some power, but he knows in his heart that this group of shrimp soldiers and crabs under his command will scare and scare the ruffians and hooligans, if he really encounters hard stubble, he will be cleaned up by others with three fists and two feet, not to mention anything else, he can't afford to provoke bandits like Von Bock, and he can't afford to provoke DuPont and Joseph before.

Therefore, he tried his best to have a good relationship with Coolford, in his opinion, Coolford was born noble, as long as there is a noble aura in these years, others dare not touch you easily, plus he is young and promising, not to mention all kinds of rumors about him in the royal capital before, just talking about his performance in these two bandits, he is simply a genius beyond his age. In the end, he had a very iron relationship with Governor Taylor, and he had the power to recruit militia, and now he had obtained the qualifications of the ruling party, and his strength was rapidly expanding, and it was absolutely no harm to have a good relationship with him, patted Winnie's head, and said with a doting face: "During this time, you have only said good things about Count Cliffor, and he has no shortcomings in your heart, right?" ”

Winnie's neck shrunk, her little face flushed, obviously shy, and she murmured in a low voice, "Father, what did you say?" "The sound grew quieter and quieter, and at the end of the day, it was almost inaudible.

"Hahahaha." Olivia smiled loudly, and said in her heart I don't know what you are thinking, and handed her the document I just read, and said, "Look at it, Count Clifford has been promoted and has become the county magistrate of Heihe County, and he can be regarded as a powerful local magistrate." In addition, he has to invite our family to dinner at night, will you go? ”

The last sentence was obviously asked knowingly, it was Olivia, the father, who deliberately teased his daughter, Winnie Bingxue was smart, how could she not hear it, her pretty face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Father, I ignore you." With that, he turned his head back to the room, with an obvious smile on his face, Olivia knew that his daughter was going back to the room to dress up, so he didn't bother her anymore, just looked at her back and laughed.

In the evening, Coolford's residence. Collifor called the Olivians, his shadow descendants, and the officers under him, firstly to celebrate, and secondly, to use this reason to get close to his descendants. During the banquet, Winnie was wearing a long pink dress, looking particularly graceful, raised her glass to Clifford and toasted a glass of wine, and said, "Count Clifford, when you go to take office, will you bring these brothers with you, so that we will be deserted here." ”

Clifford smiled, drank a glass of wine with her, and said, "Of course I have to take them with me, and all of them here are my own people." I don't need to hide it from you, if I'm right, Governor Taylor sent me this time to help him collect his taxes. And the situation in Heihe County must have been heard of by everyone, the relationship between the merchants, magnates, and officials there is intertwined, the situation is very complicated, I go to collect their taxes, it is bound to be very strongly resisted by them, at this time, how can I do it without my own lineage? ”

Olivia also sighed heavily, and said, "What you said is good, in fact, I also want to go over to help you, but I have a lot of things here, and I can't leave for a while." ”

These words are obviously insincere, he is already the chief inspector of Chao'en City, and at this time, he followed Ke Lifu to Heihe County to die, and he is also a chief inspector, where can the chief inspector of Heihe be compared with Chao'en City, in this way, isn't his official getting smaller and smaller?

He befriended Cleif just to be promoted and rich in the future, how could he do such a stupid thing, but what he never expected was that he changed his mind soon after, and begged Cleif to go to Heihe County.

Collie naturally knew that what Olivia said was the scene, and he didn't dismantle him, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Olivia, the previous Heihe County Commander Hogg is still in prison, I want to see him, I don't know if you can help me arrange it." ”

"Of course, Clifford." At this time, the prison had not yet formed an independent system, all of them were under the jurisdiction of the chief inspector, and Olivia, the guts of Hogg, did not, and arranging for the two of them to meet was still a piece of cake for him, but he still said a little puzzled: "It's just, I don't understand, why are you meeting him?" ”

Collifer smiled bitterly, he also knew that people in this era were very superstitious, and he was about to take office now, and now he went to see an official who had been shuanggui, which was really a bit unlucky, and said: "Mr. Olivia, I also know that it is not very lucky to see him now, but you should know that the purpose of my going there is to collect taxes, Hogg happened to be planted on that matter, there is a way to learn from the past, and the teacher of the future, I think I should go and ask him about the way to deal with those people, at least I should have a psychological preparation." ”

"Okay then, I'll try to arrange it for you." Olivia pursed his lips, a little worried for Collifford, whether it was for himself or for his daughter, he felt that he had to remind Clifford, and said, "Monsieur Earl, with all due respect. The errand that Governor Taylor has sent you is somewhat difficult. I understand the situation in Heihe County, there are countless wealthy families, they are inextricably linked with the government, some people are officials at home, the background can lead to the royal capital Vienna, you have a county order to collect their taxes, to be honest, it is a bit of a holding egg to touch the stone, so I advise you to go to that place to turn a blind eye is better. Heihe County has been like this for many years, and it's normal that you haven't changed anything when you go, I don't think Governor Taylor will say anything. ”

Clifford knew Olivia had good intentions, but then again, did he have a way out? If he messes around as Olivia said, even if Taylor doesn't punish him, he will definitely give him an unbearable comment in his heart, and his future can be said to be at an end at that time.
