Chapter 10 Transactions with Hong Antong

Jinhua Mansion Office

Standing in the most powerful place in Jinhua Mansion, Yang Lin does not feel that it is sacred, it is majestic, because this place is supposed to avenge the people and make decisions for the people, it has changed, it has become dirty and ugly, and it is full of copper odor, there are two sentences, which can best explain the current yamen, that is

"The entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and you can't come in if you have reason or money."

Although he was disgusted and hated in his heart, it did not affect Yang Lin to enter, contact the corrupt officials inside, and seek some things, and besides, there will be more and more frequent such things in the future. Because, Yang Lin needs to use their strength to protect himself, protect his family, get what he wants, achieve certain goals, and achieve his ambitions.

It's not that he wants to bribe in his heart and go along with those corrupt officials, but he has a deep understanding of history and knows how dark that era was, and there were corrupt officials everywhere. Qingguan is more cherished than the giant panda, and it is even more difficult to see.

Only by taking advantage of the corruption and power of corrupt officials can we rapidly increase our strength and realize our ambitions in the shortest possible time, the Opium War will not take place, there will be no more humiliating history of aggression by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and China will no longer be a sleeping lion in the 19th century.

It was already three poles in the morning, and the official guarding the door seemed to have not slept all night, still dozing greedily, racing against time to supplement sleep, comfortable and lazy.

Slowly walking up the steps, a dozing official stood unsteadily, his body tilted suddenly, and he immediately woke up and fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes and yawned, he found that someone came up, and when he saw that he was dressed in luxurious clothes, he secretly said, "Business is coming!" ”

With a shock in his spirit, he tightened the steel knife in his hand, put on a mighty posture, and shouted: "Stop~Stop~, the prefect's yamen, don't get close to idlers, be careful to serve the board!" ”

said this, but it did not stop Yang Lin from continuing to step forward and watching. Coming to the side of the official, he said slowly: "I'm here to find the prefect, and I hope to get through." ”

"Looking for the prefect, it's easy to say, let's go to the court."

However, the official did not move, but his body shook, his right hand was slightly towards Yang Lin, and his fingers kept matching, Yang Lin understood what he meant, and without saying much, he threw out two taels of silver.

After receiving the money, the official immediately shouted excitedly: "Okay, let's go!" ”

With a puff of smoke, he disappeared at the door of the yamen and ran towards the back ya.

gave the money, and the official also went to the ceremony, Yang Lin hated corruption before crossing, and muttered: "A little officer, you are not afraid that I am your lord's distinguished guest, dare to treat me so slowly, and I am not afraid that I will smash you to death with silver taels~~" Who does not have a cynical feeling in his heart.

The shouting of the official had already awakened the other officials, and when they saw that the official had received two taels of silver, their faces were full of envy. Hearing Yang Lin's muttering, an older servant, as if he was a person who had seen a lot of the world, said:

"Young man, you still have too little experience, you don't know that money doesn't fight with power, the county officials are better in charge now, don't look at you if you have money, you don't have any of us, you don't have money, you have no place to make it, and you can't communicate with God!"

Then, the slightly older official seemed to be very interested in what he said, and he was very proud of his position, so he smashed his mouth and glanced at Yang Lin deeply.

Of course, I understand the words of the servant, after all, it was twenty-six years before the crossing, and some people also understood that the reason for such a performance was just a moment of indignation. The look in the officer's eyes also understood that he wanted to reward himself and give him silver, but Yang Lin was unmoved.

Seeing that Yang Lin was not interested, he didn't say anything, and snorted softly, "Hmph!" Just continue to doze off and enjoy the warm weather.

"Wow~!" There was a rush of footsteps, and a figure came quickly from the back office, and the official who had gone in to report was far behind.

Hong Antong stood in front of Yang Lin panting, dressed in official clothes, with a very friendly attitude, and said enthusiastically: "Young Master Yang, you are here, please come in, please come in, go to the back office in advance." ”

"Okay, my parents appreciate my face, how dare a grass man refuse, the prefect will go first!" Yang Lin stretched forward his right hand and said respectfully.

"It's better for Yang Gongzi to go first!"

After several pushes, the two walked side by side and headed towards the back office. Seeing this situation, the two officials wiped their foreheads in fear, but they didn't expect a young man to be so big, and he actually had such a relationship with the prefect, but fortunately he didn't pursue it, otherwise his job would be worried.

After this incident, whenever Yang Lin came here, as long as the two officials saw it from afar, they would immediately run to the back office.

In the back office, the two of them sat down one after another, and after the maid poured the tea, Yang Lin first said: "Lord Prefect, a letter left by Fengshen Yinde, I don't know if you know?" ”

Xindao, this Yang Gongzi actually called him by his name, and the relationship between them was better than he imagined, so he immediately took out a letter from his official uniform, hurriedly handed it out, and said: "Give ~ Yang Gongzi, do you see if it's this one?" ”

took the envelope, opened it slowly, took out the letterhead, looked at it for a while, and said: "Exactly, exactly, there is Lord Laozhifu!" The letter has already been obtained, and if the adults have no instructions, they will take their leave. ”

Hong Antong didn't say anything, Yang Lin stood up, and wanted to leave, at this time Hong Antong was like a full stomach, I didn't know how to speak, seeing that Yang Lin was about to leave, he was even more eager to speak, this is an excellent opportunity to make friends with Yang Lin, with this to catch the line with Zhongtang, all the way to the sky.

After just a few steps, he stopped again, seemed to think of something, and said: "Lord Prefect, I hope that the matter between me and Feng Shen Yinde will be kept secret and not leaked out." ”

"Okay, the lower officials will do it!" Hong Antong replied a little unscrupulously, forgetting that the other party was just a son-in-law.

Seeing that Yang Gongzi was really leaving, the opportunity was about to be lost, and he immediately shouted: "Yang Gongzi, please stay, the lower officials have something to ask for, and they want to discuss one or two!" ”

couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth, turned back to his seat, and asked fakely: "What's the matter, my lord, please say, I can't talk about asking for each other, if I can do it, I should do my best." ”

He hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said in a slightly low voice: "I don't know what the relationship between Yang Gongzi and Feng ~~, Lord Eyu?" Can you match the lower officials? When you make a decision! ”

"Hehe, the relationship between me and Feng Shen Yinde, I can't say it, I have a tacit understanding with him, that is, I don't reveal the relationship between the two to a third person."

"As for matchmaking, aren't you able to meet him? Why go through me? ”

"Eh, Yang Gongzi, it may be that I don't understand what I really mean, that is, I want to be promoted, I hope to be able to contact Shanghe Zhongtang through Lord E, pave the way for my career, and have to worry about Yang Gongzi~"

After speaking, Hong Antong took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Lin, his eyes full of hope.

Pushing Hong Antong's outstretched hand, he slowly refused and said, "My lord, put away the silver ticket first." The prefect was so cheerful, opened the skylight and said something bright, then I didn't hide it, and said it directly. ”

"Lord Prefect, before I came, I must have known something about my Yang Mansion, what kind of situation is it?"

After a moment of conversation, he turned to say: "What the prefect said, you can match it in the middle, and this silver ticket will be exempted, as long as the prefect is in Jinhua Mansion, you can help with the affairs of the Yang Mansion a lot, and it's okay." ”

Hong Antong's heart was suddenly relieved, and he thought that this Yang Mansion kid lion opened his mouth wide and made some excessive demands, but he still had to respect the scheming of this kid in front of him. If it weren't for the relationship between Fengshen and Yinde, he really wanted to take Yang Lin under his account and give advice for himself.

Although Hong Antong didn't know that there was such a shrewd kid in Yang Mansion before, he had a deep understanding of one of Yang Mansion's industries, Splendid Villa, and coveted it. However, Splendid Villa has the identity of an imperial businessman, and Yang Chengzhi has always been filial to himself, so he turned a blind eye and did not start and pay attention to it.

Although I still want to get Yang Chengzhi's filial piety in my heart, but compared to my own career, those are nothing, as long as you are promoted, the more places you manage, there will be no shortage of places to fish for oil and water, and you immediately responded: "Little things, Young Master Yang's affairs are the affairs of the lower officials, and I must do my best in the next!" ”

"Okay, the prefect is happy, it's decided, I will not let the adults suffer! As long as the adults help me reorganize the family business, forty percent of the profits of the Splendid Villa will be given to the adults in the future, and I will never break my promise! ”

"Forty percent of the benefits, that's a lot more than what Yang Chengzhi's old husband gave, this Young Master Yang is very kind, so I don't want to leave!" Hong Antong said secretly in his heart.

"Lord Prefect, I hope you don't say what you said today, and at the same time, I'm going to rectify the family, and give a warning to those ambitious people in the family, when you need help from adults, don't stand idly by~"

"Okay, this is easy to do, when the time comes, you send someone to inform me, and I will fully cooperate with you!"

But he secretly said in his heart, he is not very old, and he is so old and scheming, it is not simple.

Seeing that Hong Antong was absent-minded, with something flashing in his eyes, he knew that this big corrupt official and prefect must have something in mind, so he didn't ask, as long as he didn't deviate from his plan in the general direction, he didn't care about giving up some benefits.

Yang Lin understands a truth, the more benefits he gives up, the more stable and reliable his relationship with the prefect will be, and the cheaper his actions will be in the future.

"By the way, Yang Gongzi, about the matter of matchmaking with the forehead, I hope to spend more time and take care of one or two~!" Hong Antong reminded him.

"Okay, Lord Hong, the grass people will definitely do their best! However, in a short period of time, I will still be busy with the coming-of-age ceremony, and if Lord Eyu does not come, I can't say that if I go to the capital to find him, because of your affairs, it will not be beautiful. It's better to wait until the next time you come, it will seem logical, it will be done more smoothly, and it will save a lot of trouble.

Hong Antong, who often mingles in the officialdom, of course understands the Tao, and also understands Fengshen Yinde, and says: "Everything is subject to Young Master Yang's arrangement." ”

In the end, the two got what they wanted, and Yang Lin returned satisfied, full of hesitation in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little complacent, returned home, and planned for the next move.
