Chapter 420: A Good Man and a Good Official
Liu He squinted at Liu Fu and said puzzledly: "Looking forward to this thing, it is in your mind, whether you have it or not, isn't that something you want to or don't want to do?" ”
Liu Fu thought about it for a while, and picked up the three immortals drunk in his hand, "Let's take this jar of wine as an example, the price of this jar of wine, I can't afford to buy the land that I have planted at home for a year." I've never seen such an expensive wine before. Today, thanks to the blessing of the master, I not only saw it, but also tasted it, not to mention my habit of drinking or not drinking, so I rushed the price of this wine, and I also knew that it was a good thing. I can see it, I have tasted it, and this matter is in my heart, and it will pass. If I regard this wine as a kind of hope, then I will not be able to live the days to come. ”
Liu He seemed to understand a little, but he didn't say anything to interrupt Liu Fu.
"In our hometown, the elders of the small family told us that we should be a human being, and don't think about things that we can't see or touch. Everyone's life has long been held in the palm of God's hands, this life is the life of digging in the ground, and it is a blessing to have a field to plant. It's not that we don't want to think about it, but we really don't dare to think about it. Why do elders always talk about their duties? That's because they're afraid that after we juniors think about it, we will find that nothing can be changed, but the original days will never be able to live anymore. ”
Liu He stretched out his hand and gently put it on Liu Fu's shoulder, "I understand what you mean now, there is no hope for people to live, what is it like." ”
Liu Fu hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "It's all my fault, the old man is thinking about big things, but he listened to me so many complaints for no reason." ”
Liu He said softly: "Let the people have hope, it is the biggest event in the world." ”
Seeing Liu Fu looking at himself with strange eyes, Liu He smiled: "What? Not like what people like me say? ”
Liu Fu smiled innocently, "The lord is indeed different from the officials I have seen before, just take our county officials there, they have always looked at people with their nostrils, and they have never looked at us ordinary people." But the lord is different, the lord has more officials than him, but he can sit with me and chat. Although I haven't read any books, I can see that the master is a good person and a good official. ”
Liu He smiled: "You are wrong, a good person may not be able to be a good official." ”
Liu Fu blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "I am confused when the master said this, good people can't be good officials, can only be good officials?" ”
"Our Chengdu sheriff Xu Zhi, do you think he can be regarded as a good person?"
When Liu Fu heard the name Xu Zhi, he immediately lowered his head, thought for a while, and then raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Liu He, but he still didn't dare to speak.
Liu He waved his hand, "But it's okay to say it." ”
Liu Fu whispered: "I don't dare to say it, I heard that this Xu Zhi still has some friendship with Captain Han, in case what I said today reaches Captain Han's ears, I can't afford the strange-looking big knife in his hand." ”
Liu He smiled knowingly, "Even if you are well-informed, this Xu Zhi is really Captain Han's subordinate back then, and after coming to Chengdu, it was Captain Han who promoted him to be the sheriff." ”
Liu Fu said with palpitations: "I'll just say it, then Xu Zhi must be an old acquaintance with Captain Han, if I say bad things about him, Captain Han won't spare me." ”
"Okay, since you don't dare to say it, then it's up to me to say this, you can listen to what I'm saying is right, how about it?"
Liu Fu smiled and nodded, "What the master said, that's naturally right, no one dares to say a word, even if Captain Han hears it, it doesn't matter." ”
"You, you, I don't know if your honesty is real, or if it's pretended." Liu He scolded with a smile, picked up the wine jar and took a sip, and when he put it down again, he seemed to remember a lot of past events, "Xu Zhi is not a good person." When I first met Han Xiaowei, I was very prejudiced against him, but when I arrived in Chengdu, I still made him the sheriff of Chengdu. His current means of being an official are the same as they were back then, one word, ruthless. I heard that some robbers had been caught by him, and without asking a word, they were first pressed to the ground and given forty lashes. Who has received these forty whips, and they all have only half a life left, how can they still have the strength to confess? There are only a handful of prisoners who can come out of his police bureau alive these days. ”
When Liu Fu heard this, he couldn't help but talk: "I also heard that last time there was a person who just stole a few firewoods from a family, and also received these forty whips, and died before the beating, and they deliberately put the person's body on the street for the people to see for a whole day, it's really ruthless!" ”
"Do you think he's showing it to the people? Wrong, he was telling those bandits that stealing chickens and dogs in Chengdu City under his Xu Zhi jurisdiction would end up like this. ”
Liu Fu pursed his lips, "Then what he did was a little too much, a piece of firewood is worth a few dollars, can he beat people to death!" ”
Liu He looked at Liu Fu, who was full of righteous indignation, "Then let me ask you, since Xu Zhi took office, how is the security in Chengdu City?" ”
Liu Fu thought about it carefully, "The master reminded me like this, it's true, I have rarely heard of any one that has been stolen recently." ”
"That's it, do you think this is Xu Zhi's credit?"
Liu Fu nodded slowly, "To put it this way, Xu Zhi has indeed managed Chengdu's public security well." ”
"Then do you still think he used too much torture?"
Liu Fu's expression was straight, "The credit is credit, and it is not right to beat people to death casually like him." ”
"So, you are a good person, but you may not be able to be a good official, if the security of this Chengdu City is handed over to you, I am afraid that my Tianji Mansion will have been stolen a long time ago."
After listening to Liu He's words, Liu Fu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Liu He smiled faintly, "Don't think about it, I can't figure it out, it's a good thing." I didn't understand it before, so I tried my best to think about it, but now that I understand it, I realize that when it comes to doing it, it is the hardest part. ”
Liu Fu asked cautiously: "What does the master mean is that you also think Xu Zhi is too ruthless?" ”
Liu He sighed lightly, "In my opinion, it's not just ruthless, it's simply cruel." In my hometown, if you steal a few firewoods, you will be locked up for a month at most, and you will be in prison to eat and drink, and someone will reason with you, and when you are done reasoning, you will let the person go, and you will not move a single finger against the prisoner. So when I first learned about Xu Zhi's approach, I wanted to reprimand him well. After thinking about it, I suddenly understood one thing. My hometown is rich, and every family has no shortage of firewood. But if these firewoods are placed in Chengdu City, maybe the lost family will be frozen. A few sticks of firewood will not lead to a life, but if someone freezes to death because the firewood is stolen, where can they reason? ”
