Chapter 70 [Taking the Initiative] (II)
He was thinking about the charity bazaar, but he saw a few people walking quickly in his direction, and when he looked at it, it was the county commander Xu Qinglian, followed by the master Xing Shan, and two officials.
Xu Qinglian's carriage stopped not far away, because the road near the embankment was muddy, and he was afraid that the carriage would fall into the mud, so he walked up along the stone path. Although the distance is not far, there is already a lot of sludge on the official boots.
Hu Xiaotian hugged Xu Qinglian from afar, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu is early!" His eyes subconsciously glanced under his crotch, Xu Qinglian didn't pee his pants today.
Xu Qinglian looked up at the sun, it was already past the end of the day, was it still early? This kid has never spoken with a score. The little eyes glanced at the embankment and said in a strange manner: "Why are you here by yourself?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's sunny, and the brothers have stayed up for a day and a night, and they have worked very hard, so I let them go back to rest." ”
Xu Qinglian has been holding back the fire in his stomach since he was wetted by Hu Xiaotian yesterday, and he has never found a way to vent it, and when he saw Hu Xiaotian's new hatred and old hatred, his mind suddenly surged into his heart, and he said angrily: "Hu Xiaotian, the matter of the berm is not trivial, this official has repeatedly explained to you, this embankment is related to the safety of the entire Qingyun County, if something goes wrong with the embankment, the court will be held accountable, but I am afraid that the official will not be able to protect you." ”
Although Xu Qinglian has always had bad intentions towards Hu Xiaotian, but since Hu Xiaotian came to Qingyun, on the surface, he can be regarded as a respectful guest, in front of so many people, Xu Qinglian is the first time to reprimand Hu Xiaotian, he is a big official, and it is natural for his superiors to criticize his subordinates, and he can be regarded as a famous teacher.
Hu Xiaotian didn't buy Xu Qinglian, and replaced him with another lower-level official, that is, he listened to him scolding him for two sentences, but Hu Xiaotian didn't take Xu Qinglian in his eyes at all, and he hadn't turned his face yet, Xu Qinglian actually shook his face first. Hu Xiaotian laughed.
Xu Qinglian was stunned by his laughter, I said, did Lao Tzu say the wrong thing? What's so funny? You're a newcomer to the county, and you're disrespectful to me at all!
Hu Xiaotian said: "Lord Xu is sick? ”
Xu Qinglian squeezed his eyes, a little confused: "There are many waterlogging places in Qingyun, how can this official recuperate with peace of mind?" "It's like how dedicated you are.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yesterday the heavy rain did not see the adults inspecting, today the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the adults came to worry about the country and the people, and I am responsible for taking care of this embankment." But if something really happens, if I am held accountable, you, as the governor of Qingyun, think you can stay out of the matter? ”
"Uh...... This ......"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since everyone is a colleague, we should take care of each other, when I stood in the wind and rain for a day and a night yesterday, where was the adult?" There are some things that everyone knows. Adults have to spread out the explanation, aren't they afraid of hurting their feelings? His words were full of threats.
Xu Qinglian thought that he could overwhelm the other party in momentum by relying on the advantage of his official position, but he didn't expect that the teacher would be disadvantageous, so he was argued by Hu Xiaotian after asking a question, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Behind him, the master Xing Shanke couldn't stand it, he followed Xu Qinglian and had never seen a lower-level official so faceless during his tenure in Qingyun. Xing Shan said angrily: "Hu Xiaotian, how can you be rude to the county commander? ”
Hu Xiaotian turned to Xing Shan coldly, his hands clenched into fists, Xing Shan was startled by him, and said in his heart, this thing is so aggressive, do you want to hit me? can think that Xu Qinglian is by his side, even if he borrows Hu Xiaotian's courage, he doesn't dare, and immediately has the confidence again, he took a step forward and pointed at Hu Xiaotian and said: "But with what you just said, you can be cured of disrespect." ”
Hu Xiaotian shook his head. looked at Xu Qinglian and said, "Lord Xu, is it up to you or is he the one who has the final say?" ”
Xu Qinglian glared at Hu Xiaotian angrily, and his small eyes were almost about to erupt into flames: "He doesn't seem to have said anything wrong." "The meaning is obvious, Lao Tzu supports him, what can you do?
Hu Xiaotian said: "When Lord Xu went to your house to look for you early yesterday morning, what did you say?" ”
"What did I say?"
"You said that all the three classes of officials are transferred by me!"
Xu Qinglian said: "Yes, I did say it. But what did you do when I gave you so much power, but you didn't carry it out well, and you couldn't see a single official patrolling the entire embankment? ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Isn't it clear how many people are on duty in the third class, Lord Xu?" can be found. I called them all, yesterday Lord Liu also specially dispatched 20 soldiers to help, today the flood situation eased, so they went to rest, do you think that we are all iron, can patrol here day and night, no need to eat or sleep? ”
Xu Qinglian said: "Hu Xiaotian, as far as I know, you weren't on duty here last night!" "Hu Xiaotian has been very close to Wan Boping recently, Xu Qinglian has heard about it, and he has always wanted to have a relationship with Wan Boping, but it's a pity that Wan Boping thinks very highly of himself and doesn't take his county order in his eyes at all.
On the side, Xing Shan's face showed a smug look, Hu Xiaotian understood that Xu Qinglian came prepared this time, and he must have investigated his whereabouts clearly, but now it is difficult to come over, and he must have a certain certainty.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The adult is going to ask the teacher to ask for guilt?" ”
Xing Shan interjected on the side and said: "According to the laws of Dakang, it is a felony to disobey orders and derelict duty. ”
Hu Xiaotian didn't look at Xing Shan, but whispered to Xu Qinglian: "Lord Xu, let's take a step to talk." ”
Xu Qinglian thought that he had finally taken the initiative, and said arrogantly: "If you have anything to say, say it here." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you want me to tell all the things I heard and saw in your house yesterday?" ”
Xu Qinglian was shocked in his heart, what does this mean? Is it possible to shake out my bedwetting? Although he is shameless, it does not mean that he is shameless, if Hu Xiaotian shakes out the matter of wetting his bed yesterday, he is afraid that he will become a joke in Qingyun County, where should this old face go? Killing people is not enough, he really wants to force Hu Xiaotian to be anxious, this goods are not guaranteed to really jump over the wall in a hurry, even if he can flatten this water dog, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be bitten back, Xu Qinglian also understands the truth of accepting it when he sees it, and snorted coldly: "Hu Xiaotian, forget it this time, it is not that the official is targeting you, but that the matter of the embankment is related to the net worth and life of the people in the county, and there is no room for loss." ”
Hu Xiaotian heard his tone soften, and understood that this guy was beginning to give in, so he also changed his words: "What the adults teach is that Xiaotian respects the teachings of the adults. The two of them reached a tacit understanding here, but the master on the side looked at it in a fog, and Xing Shan was even more confused, not understanding why Xu Qinglian would let Hu Xiaotian go lightly.
Xu Qinglian turned around and left, Hu Xiaotian smiled behind him: "Master Xu walks slowly, Master Xing walks slowly, be careful of slipping!" ”
Xu Qinglian walked back to the carriage along the original road, and Xing Shan was puzzled: "My lord, is this matter just settled?" ”
Xu Qinglian said coldly: "Why be in a hurry! It's not that he can calm down, but he really can't do anything about Hu Xiaotian.
Half an hour after Xu Qinglian left, he saw that the substitute official was late, and Hu Xiaotian did not blame these people, with his current appeal in Qingyun, it was not easy to mobilize these people to work for him, and judging from the situation just now, the problem was ** in Xu Qinglian's gang. In order to solve the current situation, it is necessary to suppress the arrogance of Xu Qinglian and his gang as much as possible, so as to establish his absolute authority in Qingyun.
In fact, these officials who came to the berm were very hard, Hu Xiaotian recognized that there were Li Er and Wang San, who were in charge of standing guard at the entrance of the yamen, these two people stood up to help with the board because they had listened to Hu Xiaotian's order before, Xu Qinglian heard about this matter, and sent these two people who stood in line directly to the berm, which was much more difficult than Menzi. This is also a means to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, so that all the officials can understand that this is the consequence of standing on Hu Xiaotian's side.
Li Er and Wang San looked at Hu Xiaotian with obviously strange eyes, and both of them thought in their hearts that they were affected by Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian knew that the most effective way to deal with these people was Huairou, Hu Xiaotian called Li Er under the grass hut, touched a piece of silver and came out, threw it to Li Er, and said: "You have worked so hard, this is what I myself gave you, and I will add some delicious food to the brothers at noon." In the impression of this group of officials, the higher-level officials have always reached out to them, and they have never taken the initiative to pay money, Li Er was surprised and delighted, this county lord is said to be the son of a salt merchant, and he is really generous.
Li Er took the silver and was obviously a little moved, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Lord Hu!" ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a pleasant face: "Li Er, I know that it has not been easy for everyone in the past two days, but as long as you do this well and satisfactorily, this official will only be rewarded." ”
Li Erdao: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely protect the embankment." "There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and money can make the devil grind, not to mention these greedy officials.
Money can solve the problem most of the time, Hu Xiaotian doesn't need to communicate too much with these officials, let them taste the sweetness first, and then let them gradually realize that following themselves is more beneficial than following others, and they will naturally start to stand in line.
Returning to the residence in Sande Lane, as soon as he walked into the door, he heard a loud voice say: "Young master, I hope that the young master will forgive my sins!" ”
Hu Xiaotian's heart couldn't help but heat up when he heard this familiar voice, and he raised his eyes to look, but saw Hu Tianxiong striding towards him, and stopped at a place about four feet away from him and took a deep look, although Hu Xiaotian and Hu Tianxiong had very little intersection, but when he robbed Tang Qingxuan to enter the mansion, he rushed over to relieve the siege as soon as possible, leaving Hu Xiaotian with the impression that he turned his head well, and his martial arts were also outstanding among the family, and he was the first guard by his father's side, and he was deeply favored. When it comes to communication, there are very few words, and the two of them haven't said a few words, but when they meet their old friends in a foreign country, they feel cordial from the bottom of their hearts when they meet.
