Chapter 19: Soft and hard do not eat
Xie Qinglin got out of the carriage, and the first thing he saw was the gray wall, the ordinary gate, and a plaque hanging on the door, on which there were three quaint official characters: Zhizhou Mansion. Outside the door stood two stone lions, half a man tall, but one of the front paws was broken in half, and the other had no tail, and it looked rather comical not only not at all.
He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he was accustomed to seeing exquisite mansions, exquisite scenery, and the water wonders of the Jiang family.
This is not right, he raised private salt under his rule, and he should be making money every day, and he is so rich that Xie Qinglin is a little puzzled.
After welcoming him in, he realized that he was really wrong: it turned out that Zhizhou was not poor, but his wealth was not exposed.
It's shameful.
It's just that the decoration is too cheesy.
"Why didn't he make a bed out of gold and sleep on it?" Xie Qinglin sneered.
Xu Guanhai was born as a small official, and he didn't know which thigh he was holding, so he rode the east wind all the way to his current position.
Although he is a member of the party, he has been cautious over the years, has never done anything treacherous, and has never been less filial to the Chen family.
Now that I think about it, most of them have made huge profits from the private salt business.
A few days ago.
In a secret room in the governor's mansion,
Xu Guanhai slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "The gold and white jade people take care of it, and the Mei Ji who ordered someone to send it is even more refusal, but when it comes to the day, the sun is underground, and he looks like a nobody, as if he is really an innocent person." Even I lifted out the ...... That...... The one who came to press him, and he didn't waver in the slightest! I don't know ...... alive or dead. ”
Then he put on a worried face: "Everyone, Lord Qincha has forced my door, how can this be good, I don't know if you have any solutions to it?" With a sad face, he turned to his henchmen for a way to protect himself.
If you want to say why Xie Qinglin dares to accept bribes so blatantly, it is of course because he is the crown prince.
No one in the whole country can shake him.
He rushed to the treasury after the money he sent, and as for the beauties, they each gave a few taels of silver.
It's not that he has a weak temperament and has no desires, it's that he doesn't think these women can arouse his interest. He even felt that any palace maid in the palace would be better than these singers a few streets.
So when he first saw Jiang Yunyu, he was indeed shocked!
A middle-aged man with a sharp beak rolled his eyes a few times, and said flatteringly: "If you want me to say, we will bite to death and not admit it, and forgive him for not daring to directly oppose us on the surface." ”
A scrawny gray-clothed man next to him immediately chimed in: "My lord, the people next to me don't know, don't our own people know?" We have the one to cover, who can touch you? ”
Hearing these flattering words, Xu Guanhai's face soothed: "Hey, even so, but the person who came this time was directly sent by the emperor, and he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”
At this time, a fat middle-aged man who had been standing next to him trembling finally couldn't help it, and knelt down directly, "My lord, you want to save me." ”
Watching his fat body pounce on the floor, everyone seemed to feel the ground tremble.
"My lord, I am old and young, you can have pity on me, I don't want to die."
"Heh", Zhizhou sneered, "Have you earned less money over the years?" ”
It turned out that this person was the owner of the salt shop, and when it came to the end, it was he who was the most flustered.
After all, if something happens, if someone protects them as officials and can still live, he will be different, he is a small businessman, and people want him to die in the third watch, and he will definitely not live in the fifth watch.
"My lord, when did I forget to honor you? And the one in Kyosato, I haven't been left behind all year round. He was so frightened that he dared to say such a thing.
Everyone was amazed!
Then they turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at him again.
These people who have given Xu Guanhai advice and worked for the tiger for so many years are all human spirits!
In the dark, there was a person whose eyes dimmed, and gradually became murderous.
"My lord, I have a plan below." The voice came from the corner, spoken by an inconspicuous man in a green robe.
Everyone looked at him together, and he didn't panic, he said calmly: "Since he doesn't eat hard and soft, is not moved by external things, and is not afraid of power and oppression, he must be a good official for the country and the people." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, as if he remembered something, and quickly received: "Since he is a good official, what does he care about?" I think that there is nothing but the suffering of the people, so we can ...... like this."
He doesn't have much sense of existence on weekdays, but he usually doesn't talk when he doesn't speak, and everyone has no friendship with him, just as he is a bastard.
Today's words opened their eyes, and Xu Guanhai also praised again and again: "Wonderful...... Wonderful! Mr. Chiaki really lives up to his reputation. ”
"Your Excellency praised it." The man in Tsing Yi bowed his head and said humbly.
