Officialdom is a dire circle, sometimes some people even if they commit great crimes, for the sake of the overall situation, they cannot be sanctioned for the time being, these Wen Tingzhan has understood from many years of history books. But this time the matter was too bad, so that those who ignored the people and borrowed natural disasters to make money from the dead were so painless, not to mention that Zhong Yaofan was unhappy, even Wen Tingzhan was also blocked.

"If you can't kill him, then let him hurt!" Wen Tingzhan's eyes deepened.

Zhong Yaofan held the teacup for a moment, then his face slowed down, and he looked at Wen Tingzhan: "Let him hurt?" What's the pain? ”

"Naturally, life is worse than death." Wen Tingzhan smiled meaningfully, "I think there are more things they care about than money to lose." ”

"For example—official positions?" Zhong Yaofan shook his head, "You are still too young, I don't know if some people move, I am afraid that it will cause chaos, not everyone in the position can smooth out the mess thrown in front." ”

Wen Tingzhan raised his eyebrows: "Who said that you want to move them?" ”

"Then what do you mean......" Zhong Yaofan looked at Wen Tingzhan with a blank look.

"You have to let them stay well, they can take care of things, and let others serve them when they have nothing to do." Wen Tingzhan said with a smile, "There is evidence in hand, Your Majesty can't bear to let them be able to protect their old age when they read their hard work, but the previous convictions are vivid, and you can always use this to release people to supervise in the past, as for what official position, Your Majesty can reward a few at will, and the grade is not high or low......"

"Wonderful!" Zhong Yaofan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then looked at Wen Tingzhan with admiration, "Hungry sitting in front of a large table of delicious food, but can only watch others eat for them, they can't complain yet, and they have to be grateful for His Majesty's grace not to chase it, this trick is really damaging enough." ”

"Thank you Lord Hou for the compliment." Wen Tingzhan smiled reservedly.

Zhong Yaofan looked at Wen Tingzhan with deep meaning: "I really want to break your little head and see how it is different from us!" No wonder the emperor was rejected by you and insisted on accepting you. ”

"You try." Night shook the light and looked at Zhong Yaofan with a gloomy gaze.

Zhong Yaofan clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "Laugh, laugh." I am still looking forward to Gongzi Wen being an official in the same dynasty as me, and I can already imagine how many lives you will have when you enter the court. ”

"I won't let Master Hou down." Wen Tingzhan smiled gently, "I hope the Hou Ye is not among them." ”

"We'll see." Zhong Yaofan raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the night shake light, "I have already purchased the grain, and it will be shipped over one after another next month, you can choose a place to prepare it in advance." ”

"I see." Nightshake nodded.

"Hey, why do I think your house is extra comfortable?" After doing it for a while, Zhong Yaofan felt that it was extremely comfortable to sit here, but he couldn't say exactly where it was comfortable, if it was to say that the seat furniture was far worse than his mansion.

Ye Shaoguang and Wen Tingzhan both looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't explain to Zhong Yaofan, if they let him know, maybe they would pester Ye Shaoguang to go to his mansion to set up a formation for him, so Wen Tingzhan said: "Master Hou came from afar, all the way, I have asked people to prepare hot water, why don't you rest first?" ”

Zhong Yaofan took advantage of the situation and stood up: "It's okay, I happen to be a little tired." ”

After Zhong Yaofan left, Ye Shaoguang put one arm on Wen Tingzhan's shoulder and looked at him with a smile: "You are really more and more sophisticated, I don't know how many years you think you have been in the court!" ”

"It's because I'm not inferior to the court that I'm a bystander." Wen Tingzhan explained, "Whether it is the emperor, or the advisors around the emperor, or the Marquis of Yongfu, they are too deeply involved with the court, and they don't want to do to others what they don't want to be treated like this, so naturally they won't think of such a simple and direct way to fight back, they first think of the overall situation, they can't be involved, but they forget that they can brake statically and retreat." ”

Night Shake looked at that pair of dark and deep eyes, and every time he calmly coped with any difficulty, he flashed a pearl-like restrained brilliance, so beautiful that he could suck people's souls into it, and his indifferent analysis was even more lovely, Night Shake Light directly stretched out his claws and pinched his little face: "Our brother Zhan, why are you so cute!" ”

From the initial feeling of shock and shyness to the night shake light, to the helplessness and compromise later, now Wen Tingzhan has regarded this move as enjoyment, since it is the person who cares the most, he can't be excluded, and he can't bear to refuse, so he smiled, so Wen Tingzhan was pinched by her and smiled at her.

In this way, Ye Shaoguang retracted his claws a little embarrassed, then lowered his sleeves to cover his hands, and sighed softly: "Didn't you talk about revenge that day?" Didn't Zhongyao Fan mention that the prefect of Qizhou had fallen? ”

"The prefect of Qizhou betrayed and beheaded for dereliction of duty and framed important ministers of the imperial court, and before we came back, he had asked for beheading, the property of the Qiu family was confiscated, you have been resting for a few days, and I also sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Qiu Wanqi and his sister, they even sold their ancestral home." Thinking of that side of the fate, once talked about it, there were hills and valleys in his heart, he yearned for officialdom, and he was full of clean Qiu Wanqi, Wen Tingzhan was also a little melancholy in his heart, this accident, what he lost was a clean and noble prefect, a young man who was full of ambition to serve the court.

"Don't worry, you'll see him later." Ye Shaoguang said, as long as the ancestral tomb of Qiu Wanyi's family is not moved, his beautiful sister must at least achieve the position of the fourth concubine.

"Things are not people." The corners of Wen Tingzhan's lips twitched.

When Ye Shaoguang didn't know how to speak, Wang Dong hurriedly ran in: "Young master, girl, the county master is here." ”

"County master?" Ye Shaoguang and Wen Tingzhan looked at each other in wonder, they came so quickly, with Meng Ling's character, it shouldn't be for Zhong Yaofan.

"Please go to the main hall." Wen Tingzhan stood up and walked towards the main hall.

The county magistrate Meng Ling is a member of the Meng family, born in the two lists, and now it is just the year of its establishment, it is the time to boil up the qualifications, a man with moderate manners, although his appearance is ordinary, but his temperament is elegant.

"I've seen adults." Wen Tingzhan saw Meng Ling saluting.

Only halfway through, Meng Ling stretched out his hand to hold him: "Since Yunhe and the fourth brother are both brothers, then don't see outside, and call me Third Brother Meng, and then I have something to ask for this time." ”

is also a two-list jinshi, Meng Bo is not an official, but to say that the status of the Meng family is not as good as Meng Bo, even Meng Bo gets along with the Wen Tingzhan brothers, so he naturally does not dare to take a stand here.

"Third Brother Meng, please speak." Wen Tingzhan is as good as a stream.

Meng Ling nodded at Wen Tingzhan, and then looked at Ye Shaoguang: "Night girl, I am here to ask Night Girl to calculate a hexagram for me and find a person who has been missing for many years." ”
