Jin Jie looked at Lu Dongli for a while, and then asked lightly: "Do you want to make money?" ”

"What?" Lu Dongli was slightly stunned, and for a moment he felt that such a question could not come from the mouth of such a madness as Feng Jinjie.

Feng Jinjie said calmly: "If after suffering so many waves of torture, you still have no regrets and still want to live according to your ideals, then I think that it is better to find a way to rise step by step if you continue to be this kind of sesame mung bean petty official." You can live a better life, you have more power, and you can help more people. ”

Lu Dongli shook his head: "I don't need you to ...... for me"

"Although I have a lot of money, I don't plan to get you promoted." Feng Jinjie interrupted him, and pointed to the side, "Your chance for promotion is here." ”

He was referring to the robber who fell to the ground and couldn't move: "These two people are criminals in the Seven Provinces, and they have done countless big cases, just because you have caught their great merit, you can't run away from promotion." "Feng Jinjie smiled" If you have this thought, you must make a big fanfare, and tie up these two people all the way to the world, and the most important thing is to let everyone in the world know that you are the one who caught this Jiangyang thief, and you must not let other officials rob the credit. ”

Lu Dongli said in a low voice: "It's obviously your ......"

"I'm happy to be a rich man, so I'm too lazy to stir up trouble and attract attention." Feng Jinjie smiled, "I will save your life, you will not bother me." ”

While the two were talking, Lu Dongjue muttered to himself on the side, "The seven provinces are criminals." The Seven Provinces are ...... criminals," he suddenly jumped up and shouted, "It is the famous Twin Dragons of Heaven and Earth." ”

Looking at the look of disbelief on his face, Feng Jinjie couldn't help but be happy: "It's these two people." ”

"How is it possible, I heard that their martial arts are extremely ......"

Feng Jinjie smiled disdainfully, "In your opinion, martial arts are superb, and in my opinion, they are just the light of rice grains." ”

"I heard that they robbed the rich and gave to the poor......"

"Yes, rob your rich, and help their poor." Feng Jinjie's tone was even more ridiculous: "How many people in the world do you think can eat their own coarse tea and light rice." He also gave a lot of money to others. Most of the so-called thieves and righteous men also steal and rob them, and while eating, drinking, and having fun, they just throw the fraction they get to the poor. Otherwise, on the top of those mountains holding the banner of the way of heaven, how can there be a large bowl of wine that can never be drunk, and a large piece of meat that cannot be eaten. There is also an endless supply of gold and silver. ”

Lu Dongjue didn't say a word, walked over and ripped off the masks of the two black-clothed people, but saw that they were just two thick men with fleshy faces.

Thinking of the legendary heroic hero, all kinds of might, I feel very depressed, it turns out that the hero can only be famous. should never have met, and if they did, they were just a ruthless, murderous robber and bandit.

The young man's expression turned indifferent in an instant: "The so-called heroes and knights, is it just like this?" ”

"The so-called heroes and knights, although not all of them are like this. But it doesn't necessarily mean how clever it is. "Feng Jinjie said coldly" Those who started a sect and established a sect and their forces are intertwined. If you don't put a lot of effort into the struggle for power, it will be difficult to achieve success. Those who are alone and scattered. The rangers in the world can also confront themselves and despise human life. It is often easy to judge the good and evil life and death of the world based on one's own opinion. is the most famous knight in the world, and it is inevitable that there will be a few wrong lives in his hands. Rejoice, you have a thief, not a knight. The thieves have heard about it, and they have come to you to threaten you. It's just for money, and the knights are likely to hear about it. And he came and slaughtered you with righteousness, that he might do the way of heaven and avenge the dead. Feng Jinjie always had a faint sneer between his eyebrows, he looked at Lu Dongjue, who was gray, and said with a smile, "Little brother of the Lu family, you know that the reality is so imperfect, do you still want to be the champion, and you don't want to be a hero, a hero, a hero, a loyal minister, and a clean official." ”

Lu Dongjue's face was gloomy, his eyes were confused, and he didn't know if he heard Feng Jinjie's words.

Lu Dongli smiled faintly: "Although I am not promoted as an official, if I can be promoted, I will not refuse, after all, I can do more things with a higher official position, but I just want to take the credit for your land." ”

Feng Jinjie sat up straight in a little surprise, squinted his eyes, and smiled: "I used to only say that you were stupid and upright, but I didn't expect you to be not pedantic, but this is far from enough. If you really want to be an official well, and the more you don't get bigger, you should remember to put away the uprightness in your bones, practice how to bow your head and bend down, how to compromise and obey, and how to receive and give gifts. ”

Lu Dongjue was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about, do you want to persuade Brother Tang to be a corrupt official?" ”

However, he was thunderous here, but the wind was like a rampant, and he just used a look that couldn't tell whether it was indifference or toughness.

Lu Dongli didn't have a trace of anger, nor did he have the slightest doubt, but his expression was quite gloomy, and he said softly: "A long time ago, there were seniors in the Hanlin Academy who advised me. Although we officials who deal with Wenmo are not glamorous, we can clean ourselves in this filthy officialdom to ensure that our reputation is not lost. If you go out as an official, it is easy to fall into wrong. If you really want to move forward step by step in that officialdom, to be a loyal minister, sometimes you must be more treacherous than a traitor, and to be a good official, sometimes you must be more insidious than a corrupt official......"

"So, you knew that the guards and jailers had received benefits, but you didn't control it vigorously, you knew that I was wrongfully convicted of another case, but you also didn't dig deeper, although you didn't take anything, but you didn't bluntly refuse the meeting gift of the county gentry...... "Feng Jinjie interrupted his words casually" However, you should know that this is far from enough, there are many things, you know how to do it, but you can't do it, you don't want to do it. ”

Lu Dongli was silent for a long time before sighing bitterly: "Yes, there are many things that I know but have never been able to do." ”

Feng Jinjie sneered: "For example, in my case, you certainly have good intentions to bear it for me, but the practice is so unusual, it is easy to cause trouble, if it weren't for the fact that the big and small officials in the government used to collect my benefits, in my case."

?? article, I'm afraid that you have already been detained for accepting bribes, and the crime of perverting the law and being corrupt is coming. ”

Lu Dongli smiled bitterly: "Then what should I do when something like this happens?" ”

"You naturally want to preside over the justice of the host, but the financial road above can't be blocked too much. If the wronged person has some family background and can escape and ascend to heaven, he will not be stingy, if he is a poor person, you will fight according to reason, and the people above will not necessarily embarrass you when they see that it is unprofitable. ”

Lu Dongli sighed silently.

Feng Jinjie saw that he still refused to be taught, and said coldly: "Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, you cut off people's wealth like this, how many people can stand it." It's not that there are no honest and upright people in the world, but there are just a pitiful few. And once you enter the officialdom, you will either be in the same stream or be knocked down, and there are a few people who can support you to the end. With the strength of one person and the kindness of one person, you can save a few people and help a few households. You don't compromise, you don't please your boss, you don't succumb to many rules in the officialdom, you may be able to fight for the name of righteousness, the world, and the people, but you are afraid that the benefits are very limited. ”

As he spoke, he had some ridicule: "This world is all black like this, and you still expect to dye him white with your own strength?" ”

Lu Dongli said softly: "Although the world is dark, I just want to make this candle flame, and it can illuminate as many places as it wants." ”

Feng Jinjie raised his eyebrows coldly. As soon as he reached out, he took the candle on the table in his hand, then bent down and put it on the ground.

The whole room was immediately dark, and they sat opposite each other, and they couldn't see each other's faces.

Lu Dongjue said inexplicably: "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Dongli was only slightly shocked and did not say anything.

Only then did Feng Jinjie slowly put the candle back on the table: "Candles, only in high places." in order to shine in more places. ”

Lu Dongli looked at the candle flame in a daze, and there was a light in his eyes that was almost painful. After a long while, he said softly: "I don't understand what you said, but I don't know, after I began to give in and compromise." Will I gradually forget the fundamental original intention? When I no longer mind the means in order to achieve the end, will I not be obsessed with the convenience of the means and no longer remember the original purpose......

Feng Jinjie looked at him coldly: "You don't have confidence in yourself? ”

Lu Dongli was silent and did not answer.

Feng Jinjie let out a long laugh and got up calmly: "What should be said, I'm done, whether your candle plans to slowly burn itself out at a low place, or fight to a high place and illuminate more places, it's your own business." ”

He turned around and walked leisurely. There was no further hesitation.

And Lu Dongli didn't stay or chase or ask, and even still just sat there. He didn't lift his head until the wind opened the door and left. He didn't look at the back of Feng Jinjie again.

He just sat quietly and watched the candlelight flicker.

Lu Dongjue was still beside the second monk and asked puzzledly: "Brother Hall, what the hell is going on, what are you discussing and studying?" ”

Lu Dongli didn't answer, just slowly stretched out his hand, poured himself another full glass of wine, and then tilted his head and drank hard.

Jixian County ordered Lu Dongli to be both wise and brave. Set traps and bait yourself. The news of the arrest of two criminals from the seven provinces who had committed a lot of crimes quickly spread to Jixian County like wings.

The city is full of gentry, merchants, celebrities, and many people come to congratulate each other, and they all say that the promotion of the eldest lord is in sight.

And Lu Dongli also received him with a smile, and accepted the congratulatory gifts calmly, large and small, and did not mean to refuse.

There is only the Wind Festival, because it is still playing and frolicking everywhere in the field, so it is not there.

Half a month later, the document of Lu Donglian's promotion to the Daimyo Mansion reached Ji County. Before Lu Dongli left Jixian, he handled all the official affairs at hand in an orderly manner.

There is no shortfall in the official accounts and the tax grain in the treasury.

When he left his post and went to work, he was far less vigorous and powerful than Liu Ming.

After all, his tenure in Ji County is relatively short, although he is quite dedicated and worthy of the people, but what ruts take off their boots, what people cry and shout and kneel in front of them to not let go, there is no shadow at all.

That is, the squires and elders all over the city came to see them off, and almost all the people in the city were on the spot, and only one person was missing.

At this time, he had already played the whole Hedong County, and not long after returning home, he yelled that his back pain was too hard all day long, and he hid at home every day to sleep lazily, and when he heard that Fu Bo was sweating profusely to report that Lu Dongli was leaving, he was just lazy as if he hadn't woken up, and casually ordered dozens of jars of old wine at home to be sent as congratulatory gifts.

As soon as he finished speaking, he plunged into the fragrant and soft quilt, and snored loudly in a blink of an eye, only to be so angry that the loyal old butler frowned angrily.

I don't know what to say sorry, it's been too long since I've updated.

At first, it was because I was busy, and then because of the poor writing, I stopped for a few days, but I didn't expect it, and then when it could be updated, the computer suddenly crashed, and finally got the computer done, and the system could be used normally, but I couldn't get on the network again.

It took a lot of effort, tried all kinds of methods, and found the help of several so-called experts who knew how to use computers, and finally eliminated all the faults. The computer in his own place is also being repaired and played, and he has deleted and deleted it, making a mess.

Fortunately, the original written document was still found, and a way to restore it was successful, so that it could be posted.

I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting so long.

I'll be doing my best to make up for the lack of updates these days. Strive for more.

From today onwards, if there are no accidents, if there are no tragic power outages, network outages, and broken computers, I should basically be able to do one chapter a day.
