Chapter 139: If you dig a pit, you have to bury it
When Tang Chengzheng was talking to Lao Liang, a handyman came and said that the envoy wanted to see him, and he was in a hurry, so he had to go now, and the lord would wait immediately.
Hearing this, Tang Cheng glanced at Lao Liang coldly, and then walked out of the office with the miscellaneous servants with a smile.
When Tang Cheng walked out of the official room, he took the door with his backhand, but he didn't think that the wind outside was strong, and the blow made the door smash on the door frame with a muffled sound, which not only attracted the attention of the people in the big official room outside, but also stood up suddenly because of this sound, looking at the door with open eyes, and his face no longer had the composure that he had just held himself.
He really doesn't have much courage, he has worked in the yamen for more than 30 years, and he usually looks at five people and six people outside, in fact, he just dares to complain, if he hadn't listened to Xiao Li in advance to report the news of Daocheng, he knew that the position of the envoy was unstable, and Chen Liang's Sitian Cao's judgment price code was too tempting, and he would never dare to dig a pit for his boss.
The reason why he was able to hold it just now, and even be able to fight back against Tang Cheng, was all because of this Chen Liang and Ma Bei driving behind, Sun Yuanjun was leaving, with these two people on top, he still had to be afraid of Tang Cheng? has been mixed in the yamen for thirty-two years, but it can't be solved, and even the case of anti-yin and yang has been seen too much by his old Liang!
After thinking about it for a long time, he missed Jin Yushi, and Lao Liang didn't expect that Tang Cheng didn't go to the backer Sun Yuanjun after grabbing his handle, and he actually stabbed Jin Yushi directly. Supervising the imperial history, these birdmen are all wolves, all of them are not big, they are not old, but they are all thieves. The green light in his eyes is waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and what is even worse is that this is Jinzhou, which is adjacent to Fangzhou, but it is the place that is most likely to attract the attention of His Majesty and the court......
Cowardly people are always more likely to think about things worse, and as a result, they think more seriously, and when Lao Liang stood up with his legs trembling, Tang Cheng had already walked for a while.
At this time. Lao Liang had only one idea in his heart - to find Chen Liang.
Sun envoy Jun's official room
Seeing Tang Cheng walk in, Sun Yuanjun waved his hand and signaled the miscellaneous servants to retreat. asked directly: "Tang Cheng, what's going on at the yamen?" ”。
"Ben Cao is out of the scum ......". Sun Yuanjun shook his head, "I know the matter, what I want to ask is, did you do this?" ”。
Although Sun Yuanjun asked vaguely, Tang Cheng understood what he meant. "It's me".
"Why?" , Although Sun Yuanjun has to go, but he hasn't left after all, and if there is such a thing to block the yamen, his face as a thorn is really not good-looking. Not to mention that the imperial history really wants to find out something, he is also more or less involved. If it weren't for Tang Cheng standing on the ground in front of him, even if Sun Yuanjun's superficial temperament was Jiangnan, he would have to be angry.
"My lord, if I didn't mean to do this, I really had to do it", facing the angry Sun Yuanjun, Tang Cheng told the cause and effect of this incident one by one.
Sun Yuanjun listened quietly, when Tang Cheng said Lao Liang's words. His hand, which was gently swirling around his abdomen, stopped suddenly. After a while, it was back to normal.
After Tang Cheng finished speaking, Sun Yuanjun pondered for a moment. "Since you can promote this matter, naturally you are not involved in it."
"Yes".
"Pull out the radish ** mud", Sun Yuanjun muttered to himself and then turned his head, "Tang Cheng, Si Tian Cao will come in two or three newcomers in the near future, you have to take more care of them in the future."
Tang Cheng didn't expect Sun Yuanjun to suddenly mention this stubble, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately understood that Sun Yuanjun was starting to lay the trail.
Before the matter was processed, I was already thinking about placement, how much effort did it take? Just this short sentence made Tang Cheng understand Sun Zhijun a deeper level.
"This official is the shepherd of the Son of Heaven, and he should regard the people as sons, although the state government will never tolerate adultery, this time the situation is bad for Si Tian Cao, Tang Cheng, as a judge, you should strictly abide by the law of the imperial court and cooperate with the investigation and handling of the fraud case."
This is not only Sun Yuanjun's attitude towards this matter, but also his answer, Tang Cheng nodded yes.
"Well, you go", Sun Yuanjun had already pulled the bell rope leading to the miscellaneous room as he spoke.
When Tang Cheng walked out of Sun Envoy's room, he happened to hear the voice of the ground inside, "Go and ask Lord Sima to come and see me." The miscellaneous servant went in later, but the man ran quickly and rushed in front of Tang Cheng. Seeing this scene, he smiled unexpectedly.
Tang Cheng just walked out of the atrium, and happened to collide with Yang Dechi, the husband in charge of the state yamen's room, Lao Yang has a good temper and good popularity, on weekdays, Tang Cheng has to joke with him more when he comes to the yamen and passes by the gatehouse, and now it is natural that such a thing happens, but his joke has not yet been exported, and he can see Jin Yushi who is followed by Lao Yang.
Because the Tang Dynasty imperial examination had a ministry test, the first article required the appearance of the new jinshi, because these Tang Dynasty officials who were promoted by virtue of the imperial examination really did not have a particularly ugly appearance, and the Jin Yushi in front of him was even more dignified, such a look and a dignified look, it seems that there is really a bit of the imperial history of the world.
Naturally, the joke couldn't be opened anymore, and after exchanging glances with Lao Yang, Tang Cheng avoided the side of the road, and only after watching Jin Yushi walk into Sun Yuanjun's official room, did he continue to move forward.
When he returned to his official room, Lao Liang was gone, Tang Cheng looked out, Feng Haizhou stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Not long after the adult left, Lao Liang also went out, because the adult didn't tell him, so Xiao Miao and I didn't stop him."
"Well, where did he go?".
Feng Haizhou didn't say anything when he heard this, raised his head and waved to the left.
Outside the door, turn into the left side of the door and turn into the official room of Chen Liang, Tang Cheng nodded, "Okay, let him go if you want to go", after speaking, he went back to the official room.
What he should do and what he can do has been done, Tang Cheng's heart has settled, opened the cabinet and turned over the scroll he took from Lao Liang in the morning and looked at it carefully.
After Tang Cheng subtracted the loss of more than 1,100 acres of land from the total amount of land, and leveled the accounts in another volume. This is a pleasant named signature, as Si Tian Cao's judge, it is a happy thing to be able to watch the loss in his hands a little more.
Not long after finishing this matter, when Tang Cheng was holding the teacup and sipping gently, there was a rare commotion outside the official room.
"It's coming", Tang Cheng put down the teacup and went to the door of the official room outside.
To say that the battle outside here is really not small. Sun Yuanjun accompanied Jin Yushi to the forefront. Ma Beijia and Zhang Sima followed the two of them by half a step behind, and then there was a group of people holding iron locks. And then ...... It turned out to be the little widow holding the child and a few other people who looked nervous.
After passing through the gate of the west courtyard, this group of strange combinations walked straight this way.
Because Sun Yuanjun and others usually go up and down the yamen and the ground, they are exclusive side doors. Although it is said that they are in the same yamen, it is not easy for these ordinary swords and penmen to see these leaders, not only did they see each other this time, but also the three of them appeared at the same time, with solemn expressions on their faces. The chains in the hands of the tolerance behind him rattled, and even the dullest people knew that something was wrong. Seeing that Sun Yuanjun and the others didn't look at other Cao Si, but went straight to Sitian Cao, the old man who was still a novelty and a lively mind was a little surprised. "What do you mean, what do you mean?" , muttering in a low voice, their eyes naturally fell on Tang Cheng, who had just been called by Lord Jun.
"Lao Liang's business", Tang Cheng specially paid attention to Lao He's face when he spoke, and he was surprised and flustered.
"Pull out the radish ** mud, Lao He is finished", the two are too closely connected. Lao Liang was responsible for writing the deed. Lao He is responsible for the review and signing of the deed, and it can be said that there is no cooperation from Lao He. Lao Liang can't do anything, and it's really expected that Lao He is also implicated.
At this time, the swords and pens of all Cao in the courtyard gathered at the door to watch the excitement, and under the eyes of everyone, Sun Yuanjun and others stood outside the door of Sitian Cao.
"Tang Cheng, Si Tian Cao, everyone is here?"
"Except for Liang Delu in Chen's military office, everyone else is here."
"Hmm", Sun Yuanjun nodded to Chen Liang's office, when there were even two tolerances and walked up.
"From Tang Cheng downwards, everyone in Sitian Cao is standing under the corridor with their backs to the wall", after Sun Yuanjun gave the order, Tang Cheng took the lead in stepping forward, and then the others took him as their head and lined up neatly under the porch outside the door. Although Lao He and the others were pale, they had nowhere to hide at this time. After Tang Cheng and the others stood up, Sun Yuanjun turned sideways and said, "Jin Yushi, please."
The expression on Jin Yushi's face was a little too dignified, to say that this supervising Yushi is really not an easy errand to do, it seems that every day when you walk there is a real scenery provided by the local yamen, it is naturally cool to be offered, but how can you complete the exam class like this? How many books a year are clearly required and recorded in the Imperial History Tower; Whether it was to complete the task or to make meritorious contributions, in short, when they wanted to inquire about the case, the yamen who were originally offering immediately changed their faces, and said that they were good, but they dragged and pushed the ground, in short, how to drag their hind legs, and even how to cover the ground with their hands up and down.
There is no way, whoever makes the responsibility of the imperial history platform is to picket hundreds of officials, and the supervision of the imperial history is destined to have to get along with the local yamen, just for this, Jin Yushi has suffered a lot in recent years
Since he came to Jinzhou in September, seeing that he hadn't taken a single exam textbook for two months, Jin Yushi was also anxious, and this time he came to visit Zhang Sima, who was in charge of the criminal name, also hoped to gain something, but in front of the cautious Zhang Zishan, he could only gain disappointment.
When the little widow holding her son knelt down in front of her, the comfort in Jin Yushi's heart was really difficult to describe with pen and ink, and then, as more and more people complained, Jin Yushi was excited and worried.
The excitement is that this case is big enough, at least enough people are involved, and with his experience, he naturally knows that only one or two people in the yamen can't do such a big move in front of him; As for the worries, it is aimed at the Jinzhou Prefecture Ya, whether it is for fear of involving themselves, or for the sake of the face of the Yamen, they will definitely have to stop such a big case.
If it were somewhere else, Jin Yushi might have avoided trouble. But this is the Golden State, the Golden State next door to Fangzhou! For a supervising imperial history, what better place to make meritorious contributions than this?
Tang Cheng had a dignified face when he met Jin Yushi on the road just now, and the root of this dignified was this, when this young superintendent Yushi stepped into Sun Yuanjun's official room, he was fully prepared to quarrel.
However, the result was quite unexpected, and Jin Yushi ran into the most cooperative magistrate since he became the overseer of the imperial history. As for the reason why Sun Yuanjun was so cooperative, he didn't want to care at all.
When supervising the imperial history. It's really rare to have the opportunity to show your face so smoothly and so smoothly as today. In front of everyone's eyes, Jin Yushi's face looked a little too dignified because of his excitement.
"Thank you, Lord Envoy", after bowing his hand from the bottom of his heart, Jin Yushi walked to the little widow and the others, "If there is anyone standing under the corridor who has been bullied and waited, please identify it."
When people complain, they will naturally be bold. Now that they are deep in the state government, they are all "officials" staring at them all around, in such an atmosphere, how dare the little widow and others step forward for a while? A few of them even had soft calf cramps, and they regretted that they shouldn't have come.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Just as Jin Yushi was about to speak, he saw that the child held by the little widow suddenly broke free of his mother's hand, and he ran straight in front of Lao He wearing a filial piety robe.
"It's you bullying my mother, you're a bad person", the child who is less than five years old still has a milk cavity when he speaks, but at this moment, the milky voice is so loud, and the mouth is calling the bad guy, and the child's hand is still tightly grasping Lao Hedi's pants, and he keeps kicking him with his feet wearing tiger head shoes.
Looking at this child, his clear eyes were full of hatred and staring at Lao He. Tang Cheng, who was standing on the side, felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Since entering the Yunxi County Yamen, Xu has been in the Yamen for a long time. He slowly got used to many things, such as Lao Liang, if it weren't for the other way, he would give back to the other. As far as the matter of collecting money is concerned, he really thinks it is not a big deal in his heart.
Now listening to this milky voice, looking at such eyes, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were really wrong, no matter what others were, at least as far as he was concerned, when he thought of this child's voice and eyes in the future, he would no longer be able to take the money that should not be taken and should not be taken.
For some people, every touch in their hearts will change some of their behavior patterns, and each change in behavior patterns will inevitably bring about deeper or shallow results, better or worse. Behavior determines habits, and the accumulation of habits will ultimately determine the direction and outcome of life's path. For example, Lao Liang, such as Lao He, details determine success or failure, although this sentence is very popular in later generations, although it is to do things, but how is it not the case to be a man?
People who are good at learning must be diligent in thinking and summarizing, such as the present, such as Tang Cheng.
The child's behavior really made Jin Yushi overjoyed, and he hit the railroad while it was hot: "You are a parent in vain, not even this child?" As soon as he finished saying this, the little widow with tears in her eyes suddenly pointed to Lao He and said, "There is him."
Someone took the lead, and the other people also followed, "There is him", for a while, nine fingers pointed straight at Lao He.
"Take it!" , With Jin Yushi's face a little red, he gave an order, and the two men looked at Zhang Sima and stepped forward to lock Lao He, whose face was as white as snow.
This act of tolerance greatly encouraged the people, and at that moment someone pointed to another person: "And him."
Si Tian Cao is known as the most oily place in the state government, this is not called in vain after all, and they are responsible for managing the acres of land that are the lifeblood of the people, one after another, in the blink of an eye, the other fourteen people under Tang Cheng except Lao Liang were pointed out as many as five.
Although Tang Cheng's face was heavy, but this was only on the face, after having such an experience of being "air", coupled with the short time he had together, he really couldn't say how deep his feelings were for these subordinates, and now he cleaned up Cao Li with the help of Jin Yushi's hand, which was only good for him as a judge.
Or, this can be regarded as another unexpected gain of his counterattack!
Just as Tang Cheng was thinking like this in his heart, a shocking scene appeared, Feng Haizhou beside him turned out to be the last person to be pointed out.
Seeing Feng Haizhou being pulled aside by tolerance, Tang Cheng's face was really heavy.
Feng Haizhou is young and strong, and he is proficient in Cao Wu. With a calm personality, he thinks things clearly, and more importantly, his instructions can be completed to the letter, Tang Chenggang is also thinking about how to use him more in Cao Wu in the future, how can he ......
Damn, this doesn't count as shooting yourself in the foot!
Feng Haizhou turned around and saw Tang Cheng's stunned and surprised eyes, and a look of remorse appeared on his face. After a long sigh, he turned his head and walked to the side without saying a word.
It's not over yet. The two men above had already walked down with Lao Liang, and the three of them were followed by Chen Liang with an uncertain face.
Almost Lao Liang had just rounded the corner of the house above. Just like the treatment of the old man just now, nine fingers were pointed straight at him.
"And him," the voice was unusually loud.
After seeing the following situation clearly, Lao Liang's legs immediately softened, and Jin Yushi said "take". Lao Liang was stunned at first, and when the cold iron chain in his hand was put around his neck, he suddenly reacted, and turned around with a hula, "Chen joins the army." I was wronged, you have to call the shots for me, I was wronged."
Because Lao Liang turned around too violently, he actually brought a stumble to the tolerance that was putting the chain on him.
The same yamen, look up and don't look down, although the tolerance and the knife and pen officials are usually not right, but there is always a feeling, so just now when they were taking the old man, they were more just making a gesture. On weekdays, the means of locking up didn't even use a point. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Feng Haizhou and others did not have excesses.
Lao Liang came out like this, and he couldn't even get off the stage in front of everyone. His face turned red, and after standing firmly, he put on his hands and wrapped them, and Lao Liang immediately bent down with both hands.
"This matter has its own ranking lords, what do you say", Chen Liang's quick reaction really made Tang Cheng a little admired.
Lao Liang dragged the chain and dragged the waist bow like a shrimp to go down, Lao Liang kept shouting wronged while walking, calling Chen Liang to call him the shot, and when he passed in front of Sun Zhijun and others, he saw the horse don't drive and screamed, and the content of the call changed from "Chen joins the army" to "Master Ma".
Looking at the horror on Chen Liang's face and Ma Beijia's expression of eating flies, Tang Chengzhen had the urge to laugh out loud, as for Lao Liang, at this moment, he only felt that this person was really pitiful, how bold he was to do a lot of big things, and under the daze, Lao Liang obviously overestimated his courage.
Lao Liang was so out of shape in front of the people and Jin Yushi, it only made the people in the entire state government feel that their faces were dull, and with Sun Yuanjun's eyes, the tail of the iron chain held in his hand suddenly reversed, and in just a moment, Lao Liang's mouth was already full of blood and was forcibly sealed.
Seeing this scene, the child hid in his mother's arms in fear, and then the little widow, who completely vented her frustration, hugged her son and cried bitterly.
When Jin Yushi and the others escorted Lao Liang and others to the east courtyard, the west courtyard suddenly became lively from silence, and the other Cao's knives and pens pointed at Si Tian Cao and kept talking, looking at their deliberately suppressed excited expressions, obviously gloating a little over Si Tian Cao, who was the fattest in oil and water.
"What are you going crazy for", as Chen Liang, who hesitated in the middle of the courtyard and didn't follow, roared, Zhong Cao's knives and pens slipped out and reflexively went back to the official room like frightened mice.
Tang Cheng didn't reply, and then, his eyes collided with Chen Liang.
Chen Liang's eyes were as complicated as his face, shocked, afraid, and regretful...... But when the eyes of the two collided, the biggest one turned into resentment.
Resentment! Tang Chengzhen felt very aggrieved, the matter started because of him, Lao Liang was directly instructed by him to dig a pit for himself, and now how can he resent me? This is too bullying, and it's unreasonable?
Jehovah says: "When others look at you with resentment, smile back!"
Although Tang Cheng was not a believer in Jehovah, he listened to this advice at the moment, walked from the porch to Chen Liang with a smile, and bowed his hand to salute, and then said in a tone that was no different from usual: "The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy, when the army was busy digging a pit for me, did you ever think that it would be you who fell into the pit?" ”。
"You think this pit will be able to bury me?" , Chen Liang smiled coldly, "As long as it's ......."
"No as long as possible", Tang Cheng shook his finger at Chen Liang with a smile, "People who are lucky are often disappointed, Lao Liang's courage is far less than you think, he has already collapsed just now, what else can a collapsed person hide?" Maybe what he's thinking about now is how to redeem his credits? What do you say? ”。
"Tang Cheng, as long as I can pass this level, ......."
"I've already said it, no just!" , Tang Cheng interrupted him again, peeling off Chen Liang's luck little by little, and presenting the result he didn't want to think about in his heart.
Since the pit has been dug, it has to be buried! Tang Cheng is now practicing the profound lessons of working as a part-time writer in later generations, and now breaking all Chen Liang's luck and ravaging him psychologically is part of the buried pit, "Even if Lao Liang doesn't say anything, after Si Tian Cao has such a big fraud case, do you think you, the chief officer, can continue to do it?" ”。
"Humph! Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, aren't you the same? ”
"Don't compare me to you, it's an insult to me! I've only been in office for a few days? Not to mention that it's as clean as white paper, out of the mud and not stained, maybe Jin Yushi will praise me like this", Tang Cheng laughed, then slowed down, staring at Chen Liang almost word by word: "The water dog still wants to bite?" lost the record to join the military, Chen Liang ...... You think you're still something! ”
