Chapter 195: Sharpening the Knife (2)
The errand of clearing the arrears made such a pot of sandwich rice at the moment, the hearts of the people up and down the household department could not help but be a little sloppy, and even with a lot of resentment towards the third master who came to take over, although no one dared to show the face to the third master, but the assigned things were done procrastinatingly, this point, although Hongqing had never been to the household department, but learned the details from different channels, it was obvious that the third master took over the poor household debt settlement so that the start was not smooth.
What to do? Cold salad, in such things, Hongqing can't help the third master, not for anything else, just because the person who really wants to win the heir is the third master, not him Hongqing, if such a sensitive moment is indiscriminate, even if it can cage the hearts of the household, in terms of the image of the third master, it is extremely unfavorable, in view of this, although he knows that the third master is a little difficult at the beginning of the household department, Hongqing can only silently watch, every day, the school photo should be on the school, the ministry of work that should be in charge of the matter has not been pulled down, but he does not go to the household department to show up.
The ranking of the household department is only below the ministry, but when it comes to oil and water is above the ministry, it belongs to the fattest yamen in the six ministries, the officials are not particularly many, together with the subsidiary institutions, it is more than 600 people, but the composition is extremely complicated, there are people in all aspects, no matter who is it difficult to control the household in full control, the fourth master is not good, the third master can not do it, it is really going to go hard, that must be a head to break the blood flow, such a stupid thing, with the wisdom of the third master, he will not do it, in fact, after the third master arrives at the household department, In the past three days, I have only done one thing, that is, talking, talking about the big truth at the conference, talking in private, and doing everything I can to inspire, but I didn't pay attention to the business of paying off the debt, and I didn't even go to the account book, and no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in the third master's gourd.
The third master is so immovable, the most uncomfortable people are not the household officials, but the eighth master who is eyeing the tiger, there is no side, just because the eight masters and others have planned in advance The various tricks are stunned and there is no room to perform, and they are really suffocated to the extreme, as for the fourth master who was originally in charge of the household, he is also physically and mentally tormented to the point of incomparably aggrieved, but the fourth master is ruthless, he actually gritted his teeth and accompanied the third master throughout the whole process, and he was not ashamed to see people because he lost the mission, and the tenacity of his heart is indeed to the point where ordinary people can hardly reach.
"Third brother, you are here, there are some urgent matters here, and you have to come out with a charter."
Patience has always been limited, the third master has been delayed for several days, and all parties are a little unbreathable, no, early in the morning, the third master just arrived at the household department, and the fourth master led Shi Shilun, Fan Shijie and several other household dignitaries to the temporary office of the third master, and after a little greeting, he went straight to the topic.
"Oh, Cheng, the fourth brother has worked hard, sit down and say, sit down and say, come on, watch the tea!"
Since it was an urgent matter, the third master didn't want to slack off, but he didn't rush to ask what was going on, but greeted him with a smile, and the palace guards who were waiting on the side hurriedly moved chairs, and served freshly brewed fragrant tea, and everyone waited for each other to humbly sit down.
"The prince is clear, the matter of paying off the debt has been stagnant for nearly half a month, and each has its own slackness, if you don't do it early, it may be difficult to continue, and please make arrangements for the prince as soon as possible, and the officials and others can act accordingly."
After everyone sat down, they saw Fan Shijie taking the lead in opening the shot, although he didn't say it explicitly, but there was a faint hint of accusing the third master of inaction.
"Hmmm......"
The third master knew that Fan Shijie was a person close to the thirteenth master, although he was not the old thirteen disciples, but the relationship between them was very close, and at this time, he jumped out to start the cannon, which was undoubtedly the meaning of the fourth master, and his vigilance suddenly became greater, but he didn't bring it to his face, and he didn't say much, he just nodded and said noncommittally.
As soon as he saw that the third master did not accept the offer, Fan Shijie was helpless, after all, the third master was the prince today, and he was ordered to go to the household department to run an errand, Fan Shijie's identity and status were too different from the third master, so he couldn't push too much, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to the fourth master for help.
"Third brother, the matter should not be delayed for a long time, and please ask the third brother to make it clear."
The fourth master came prepared today, and he didn't want to be fooled by the third master, seeing that the third master ignored Fan Shijie's proposal, he was a little uncontrollable, so he interjected from the side and squeezed the third master.
"Well, according to the fourth brother, what should it be like now?"
Fan Shijie's words, the third master can ignore it, after all, each other's identities are very different, but since the fourth master has spoken, the third master can't help but express something, of course, the third master can't tell the truth, so he just nodded thoughtfully, and threw the question back to the fourth master.
"Third brother Mingjian, the younger brother thinks that no matter how tricky things are, they have to move first, otherwise, Huang Ama is afraid that it will be difficult to explain."
There was obviously an ambush in the words of the third master, but the fourth master was not stupid, he refused to accept the offer, so he brought the old man out, in order to suppress the third master, and what he wanted was to force the third master to come up with a solution.
"Fourth brother, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you will go blindly, and there will be endless troubles, and you have to have a charter after all, of course, if the fourth brother has a good charter, he should be happy to fulfill it for his brother."
The third master is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, how can he be so easy to squeeze, gently and skillfully down a few words, not only broke the fourth master's run, but also unceremoniously kicked the ball back to the feet of the fourth master.
"Third brother Haihan, this mission has already made the younger brother and the third brother, and he only has the help from the side, so he really doesn't dare to say anything."
Whoever comes up with the charter, who has to take responsibility, this truth, the third master understands, the fourth master naturally understands, he is unwilling to come up with a charter, so he smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and apologized.
"It's okay, they are all their own brothers, and they are all on errands for Huang Ama, if the fourth brother has a good charter, just take it out."
The third master has always been the master who is unforgiving, and when he saw the fourth master leading his backbone to come, he had already guessed the intention of the fourth master, and he refused to let the fourth master be proud, so he didn't give the fourth master room to breathe at all, and forced the fourth master to die with a smile.
"Lord Wangjian, there is a charter here, and please take a look at it!"
The fourth master was forced to have no choice but to glance at Fan Shijie, and then saw Fan Shijie shake his hand, took out a fold from the wide sleeves, held it with both hands, held it high above his head, walked a few steps, and respectfully handed it to the third master.
"Hmm, Master Fan has a heart, and let Xiao Wang take a closer look at it and then discuss it?"
The third master is very proficient, and he knows that there must be an ambush in this so-called charter, and nine times out of ten it is from the fourth master's handwriting, so he refused to express his attitude at this time, so he reached out and took the fold, but did not look at it, but kindly discussed it with Fan Shijie.
"The prince is wise, the lower officials dare not have objections, but the envoy is urgent, and I ask the prince to make it clear this morning, and the lower officials are waiting for it."
The third master has already said this, although Fan Shijie is still unwilling, but he can't press on anymore, so he can only reply with words hidden in his words.
"Well, this is natural, does the fourth brother have anything to discuss?"
The third master nodded very generously, did not comment on Fan Shijie's somewhat reckless words, casually stuffed the fold he presented into his big sleeve, looked at the fourth master with a smile, and asked with a sense of expulsion.
"If the third brother has a decision, the younger brother should serve himself, it's not too early, and the younger brother still has some mundane affairs to do, so he will leave first."
Failed to brush the third master's hole card, the fourth master couldn't help but be disappointed, but it was not good to talk more, so he got up, explained a sentence, and then led Shi Shilun and others to leave as one.
"Humph! Come on, prepare a sedan chair, and go home! ”
After the fourth master and the others went, the third master did not continue to talk to someone in the past, but carefully studied the fold sent by Fan Shijie, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, but he did not have a seizure, but shook his hand, put the fold back into the wide sleeve, and paced back and forth in the room for a while.
"Fourth master, third master is gone, look at the direction, it's time to go back to the house."
When the third master went, one of the guards in the fourth master's mansion hurriedly marched into the fourth master's office and reported the news of the third master's departure.
"Hmmm......"
As soon as he heard that the third master had returned to the house, the fourth master, who was busy approving official documents, couldn't help but be stunned, but did not comment, but silently snorted, put the pen on the pen stand, got up, and paced back and forth in the room, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was gloomy like water.
"Fourth master, do you want to notify the other side?"
Seeing that the fourth master didn't make up his mind for a long time, the guard who was waiting on the side was obviously a little out of breath, so he asked for a word from the side.
"Well, that's fine, let's go talk about it."
was interrupted by the guard like this, the fourth master suddenly paused, and glanced at the guard with some displeasure, but he didn't stop there, but thought about it for a moment in a daze, and then waved his hand and ordered in a low tone.
"Wow!"
The fourth master is not a good waiter, this time seeing his face is not happy, the guard is a little unbearable, is regretting his previous mouth, coldly heard the fourth master so ordered, he didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly and respectfully agreed, hurriedly and respectfully agreed, hurriedly and hurriedly exited the room.
"Alas......"
When the guard was about to leave the room, the fourth master seemed to regret a little, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to speak, but at the end he didn't say anything, just raised his head and sighed, dragged his feet, walked to the wide Taishi chair, fell down, and sat heavily on the chair, his face was extremely ugly, and he didn't know a little pain and struggle, but more of a ruthless hideous!
