It's just a temptation to pretend to be a compliment, Xu Haobo can naturally see it, I really don't know which eye Xiao Tong can see that he is radiant.

Although he was already extremely unhappy in his heart, Xiao Tong said so, and Xu Haobo couldn't let himself not get off the stage.

So he could only pretend and say: "This official and Gu Xiang have known each other for many years, this time it is just to reminisce about the old days, and it is naturally happy to talk about some light topics casually!" ”

Squinted his eyes and glanced at Xiao Tong, and when the words fell, Xu Haobo walked away quickly.

He sent so many gold bars, Gu Shi admired and flickered, and did not give any clear response, let alone Xiao Tong came empty-handed.

Snorting coldly, Xu Haobo said disdainfully in his heart as he walked: "An eight-grade petty official, he actually wants to ascend to the sky in one step, this kid is really beyond his strength!" ”

No matter what the relationship is on weekdays, when it comes to competing with each other, there are no friends to speak of.

Staring towards the back of Xu Haobo leaving, Xiao Tong's elite eyes revealed a bottomless depth.

Up? just chose the Prime Minister's Mansion when someone was about to break through the threshold, Xu Haobo really lied and didn't even blink his eyes.

Xiao Tong muttered silently in his heart, although he was young, this shrewd young man knew very well about the filth of officialdom.

Officialdom has always been like this, if you want to mix in officialdom, Xu Haobo's ability to talk serious nonsense is a necessary skill.

Even if you know that the other party knows it, you have to tell the lie beautifully without changing your face. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked upward, Xiao Tong withdrew his distant gaze, turned around and walked towards the living room.

Back and forth, Xiao Tong met many colleagues on the road, and it seemed that everyone showed some disdain when they saw him.

In the eyes of those old fritters in officialdom, Xiao Tong is just a fledgling hairy boy, without any capital to compete with them.

But when the new candidate for Dali Siqing was decided, everyone was surprised.

"I didn't expect that Gu Xiang would highly recommend Xiao Tong, what do you say this kid is coming from?" As soon as the morning came, the ministers walked out and talked about each other.

"Who knows? Maybe he secretly gave Gu Xiang any benefits? Someone pondered Ying Hedao.

"An eight-grade experience, can the gift he gave be valuable to us? For the sake of the position of Dali Siqing, I took out my coffin! ”

"Lord Wang is really joking, but it is just an official position of the third grade, so that Lord Wang is willing to take out the coffin book?" A minister beside him, rubbing his beard, took over the conversation and teased.

When the words fell, several people laughed a few times together, these ministers were not so interested in the position of Dali Siqing, and the discussion was just out of curiosity.

And for those who break their heads and want to get the position of Dali Temple, they are not in the mood to laugh at all at this time.

Especially Xu Haobo, the young secretary of Dali Temple, logically speaking, the role of the second-in-command of Dali Temple, with his familiarity with the affairs of Dali Temple, he should most logically inherit the position of Dali Temple, but who knew that Gu Shichong actually fell in love with an eight-grade experience that he had never put in his eyes.

In Dali Temple before, Xiao Tong was still Xu Haobo's subordinate, but from now on, their status is completely reversed, and Xiao Tong has become Xu Haobo's top boss.

Men have always valued self-esteem and good face, which is really a big insult to Xu Haobo, and he feels ashamed to think about it.

Seeing the wind and the rudder is the most common thing in officialdom, and some people were disdainful of Xiao Tongman yesterday, but today they immediately changed their faces.

There are not a few people who congratulate with a respectful smile, and even some officials whose grades are above Dali Siqing have come to be close to Xiao.

The supreme officer in charge of the prison, everyone did not dare to guarantee that they would not fall into his hands, so they should have a good relationship in advance, just in case.

This Xiao Tong looks very approachable, he responds with a smile to the officials who come to greet him, even if it is arrogant in front of him before, he treats each other politely.

Today's Xiao Mansion is a bit like yesterday's Prime Minister's Mansion, with an endless stream of guests, and at the end of the day, a lot of gifts have been received.

Looking at the jewels piled up into a hill, Xiao Tong casually held the jewels, gold and silver sent by the ministers, and the corners of his mouth raised a graceful arc.

Yesterday afternoon, the Prime Minister's Office.

"Xiaguan Dali Temple has experienced Xiao Tong and see Xiangye!" As soon as he entered the living room, Xiao Tong bowed his hand.

Xiao Tong knew that Gu Shichong would not remember a little person like him, so without waiting for Gu Shichong to ask, he simply introduced himself together.

"Dali Temple experience?" You opened his mouth, and the end of Gu Shichong's speech rose slightly.

Although his performance was bland, in fact, Xiao Tong's self-declaration of his name as soon as he opened his mouth just now had already attracted Gu Shichong's attention.

Respectful but not humble, from Xiao Tong's every move, Gu Shichong could have a hunch that this person was not simple.

"Yes! Xia Guan is a little-known eight-rank petty official, but as long as Xiang Ye is willing to help, Xia Guan will soon be able to achieve the position of the third grade! ”

Xiao Tong didn't beat around the bush, got straight to the point, and explained his intentions.

"Oh? You're direct! Gu Shichong took over and said, "But you have also seen that there are many people who come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they all want the position of Dali Siqing just like you, so many people, why did the Prime Minister choose you?" ”

"Because the lower official can be used by the prime minister!"

"Every minister who appears here today is willing to saddle up for the sake of the prime minister, this reason doesn't seem to make sense at all!" After taking a sip of tea, Gu Shichong said lightly.

"But everyone's feeling of using it is different, Xia Guan thinks, Xiangye should also hope to have a capable subordinate!"

"Everyone thought that Xia Guan came empty-handed, but in fact, Xia Guan prepared a big gift for Xiang Ye, and this gift is definitely incomparable to gold and silver property!"

As he spoke, Xiao Tong took out a notebook from his arms and presented it upwards with both hands.

Steward Qian hurriedly stepped forward to take the things and handed them to Gu Shichong, who was sitting on the chair.

"Lord Liu was killed, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department jointly investigated the scene, this book was found by the lower officials in Lord Liu's room! Because the above accounts involve the prime minister's mansion in many places, the lower officials hid things privately when people were not paying attention! ”

Seeing Gu Shichong's face obviously change when he opened the account book, Xiao Tong snickered in his heart, once this account book was exposed, it would be tantamount to announcing in public that Gu Shichong was corrupt and perverted the law, so he was sure that Gu Shichong had to accept this big gift.
