In the morning, Gou Shen walked to the front hall door, where Chen Tang was already waiting for him.

Chen Tang didn't seem to have slept well all night, there were a few bloodshots in his eyes, and when he saw Gou Shen, he bowed down to say goodbye, and then waited for Gou Shen to enter the house before he reported: "County Zun, Chen Tang led people to raid the jailer's house involved in poisoning the sacrificial meal last night, and as a result, a lot of property was found from the jailer Mao Yongming's house. ”

"Mao Yongming couldn't tell where these belongings came from, and when asked about the hatred between him and the priests, he only said no, and asked him who instructed him to poison the priests, and he only said that he was wronged."

"The lower officials have ascertained that several other jailers should have nothing to do with this matter, and they have all testified that when the priest was taken to the county jail, he was able to speak, which can be confirmed in the judgment of the previous county magistrate."

"The humble position has made Mao Yongming strictly guarded, and the disease doctor has been invited to treat the priests, and other matters are being investigated by the lower officials."

After listening to Chen Tang, Gou Shen said with concern: "The county lieutenant is too hard, but you have to be careful of your body." ”

Chen Tang nodded, and Gou Shen said: "There is no need to say much about this matter, Brother Chen must be careful, this sacrifice was given dumb medicine when he was imprisoned, and now he is going to be poisoned to death, and it is not simple to be involved behind it." ”

Gou Shen suddenly sighed and said: "I want to be a young person, accidentally favored by the saint, was recruited as the Yingshui County Order, since he took office, the area under his jurisdiction is not happy, so peaceful." ”

"At the beginning of the Vermilion Bird Palace, Gou Shen swore to the emperor's majesty, saying that public security is the top priority in Yingshui County, and now this old case has not been eliminated, and Gou Shen's heart is uneasy."

Gou Shen looked at Chen Tang and said: "Fortunately, Brother Chen has worked hard to solve problems for Gou Shen, ginseng, thank you very much." ”

Chen Tang said: "Investigating and dealing with the malpractices of the case is a matter within the responsibility of the lower officials, and the county order said this, Chen Tang is ashamed. ”

"Hey, the same county is a subordinate, people are different," Gou Shen said with a smile: "The same thing, different people do it has different effects, Gou Shen has always felt that Brother Zi is now just a dragon stranding, birds trapped in a cage, sooner or later, will fly in the clouds, spread their wings and soar, happy life." ”

A person is always praised by others all day long how important, how capable, and how he can be in the future, and it is inevitable that he will have a good impression of the person who praises you, even if he knows that he may be using you, but you are willing to let him use it, not to mention that for Chen Tang, it is his duty to do a good job in the security of Yingshui County Prison, and Gou Shen is his superior.

At this time, Chen Tang was said by Gou Shen as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but Gou Shen pretended not to see it: "After this period of contact, in fact, Gou Shen feels that according to Brother Chen's knowledge and ability, it is just a small test in Yingshui, and it is just a small test. ”

Gou Shen laughed lightly a few times, Chen Tang looked up at him and said: "County order, Tang, no, Lord Meng rescued from the trap and imprisoned, the county order has asked the lower officials several times, how to deal with the affairs of Yingshui County, Chen Tang has been thinking and meditating for the past few days, today, on Handan toddler, dare to analyze it for the county order." ”

"If it's not good, please don't blame the county order."

When Gou Shen heard this, he stood up and said, "Brother Zi, please sit down, Gou Shen listens to Brother Tai, please!" ”

Chen Tang knelt down and sat down, thought for a while and said: "Before answering the question of the county order, I want to ask the county respect, I don't know if the county is in Yingshui, whether he wants to be promoted and make a fortune, or is he dedicated to sharing the worries of the Son of Heaven, or is it to thoroughly manage the affairs of Yingshui?" ”

When Gou Shen heard this, he secretly said in his heart, this Chen Tang is really different from others, if we hadn't bothered to entrap him in the past few days, he would still be silent is golden.

Now that he speaks, his mouth is really one set of words.

Gou Shen thought in his heart, but asked on his lips: "Oh, why did Brother Chen ask like this?" Isn't it the same thing to be promoted to get rich and share worries for the Son of Heaven? If you manage Yingshui affairs well and get rewarded by Your Majesty, you will naturally be promoted and make a fortune, isn't this a contradiction? ”

Chen Tang shook his head and said: "Tang, he has been very ambitious since he was a child, but he has a lot of luck, although he is conceited and knowledgeable, he has not shown what he has learned in his heart in the end, and he is in prison with the county honor, which is also due to fate." ”

"The so-called poor friends are nothing more than that."

As soon as Gou Shen heard Chen Tang say that he was a poor friend, he thought of Zhu Bo, who was a "friend of life and death", and he was amused, but on the surface, he still listened to him.

"The heart is higher than the sky, the life is thinner than paper, Chen Tang acts absurdly, is not liked by everyone, and is even despised by everyone, in fact, it is also to blame."

"The way to be an official is nothing more than the three things I just said, which seem to be in the same vein, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not like that."

Gou Shen said, "I wish to hear and see." ”

"For officials, only for the sake of promotion and wealth, that is, purely only for their own sake, as long as it is beneficial to themselves, regardless of the cause of the matter, ignore the merits, kill decisively, make a decision at the right time, have money, if there is a vacancy above, they will think of promotion, speculation, camping, acting regardless of means, only pursuing results, this is one of them."

"This kind of person accounts for a large part of the officialdom."

After thinking about it, what Chen Tang said was reasonable, as if it had been the same since ancient times, so he asked, "What about the second?" ”

Seeing Gou Shen's inquiry, Chen Tang continued: "If a person is an official just to share the worries of the Son of Heaven, he will be transferred to figuring out the emperor's moods and hobbies, and this kind of person's promotion is estimated to be very fast, but in general, the official reputation is not good, and it is easy to be regarded as a flattering villain." ”

"This kind of person looks very beautiful in a short period of time, but he can't go far."

"Oh, why is that?"

Chen Tang bowed his head and said: "Because the emperor's mind is actually difficult to guess, some things you have been rewarded by the emperor, and some things may be guessed wrong, it is precisely this kind of person because there is only the emperor in his eyes, he often always neglects to interact with the people around him, so he always fights alone, and when he is pampered, he moves forward alone, and the scenery can only highlight him, once he is frustrated and not remembered by the emperor, it is like a meteor in the sky, and he disappears into the night sky in an instant......"

"The so-called righteous and unrighteous are helped, and they usually don't pay attention to the relationship with their colleagues, and when they are needed, no one will lend a helping hand."

"There is no shortage of people around the emperor, excellent talents abound, who can guarantee that he will always be the best?"

"Therefore, the second type of people are just like a flash in the officialdom."

Gou Shen listened to what Chen Tang said, and felt that it was very right, in fact, he was not an emperor, as long as he was an official and a leader, there was no shortage of all kinds of talents around him.

"And the third type of people are those so-called good officials who are bent on asking for the lives of the people."

The officialdom felt that although Chen Tang's words were extreme, they were also reasonable, so they said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
