The uncle and nephew walked out of the deserted house, and Li An glanced back at the fourth brother standing in the courtyard with a bitter face.

"Does the second uncle really ignore them?"

Du Yuan chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, these little people, the people above haven't been taken into account yet." This kind of thing is an unspoken rule in the yamen, and the people above know it in their hearts.

Compared with our three big men, our little money is not looked down on at all. ”

Li An put his mind at ease, and then asked suspiciously: "In that case, why did you return the money again?" ”

Du Yuan stopped, turned his head to look at Li An, and taught seriously: "Some things are not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

Then he pouted and motioned to Li An to look at those quick arresters.

"These people, don't look at the usual honest and obedient to me, but believe it or not, once someone above investigates corruption, these guys will definitely betray me as soon as possible, knock me down, and take my place."

"An'er..."

Second Uncle Du Yuan's voice lowered, and he put his hand around Li An's shoulder and said solemnly: "You have to remember that there is no absolute trust in officialdom, even if the fourth junior is my apprentice, when facing absolute temptation, he will betray me." ”

Walking to the mouth of the alley, Du Yuan sorted out the official uniform on Li An's body.

"In the future, if I am not in the yamen and encounter something, no matter how good the relationship between the other party is, don't dig out my heart and lungs with the other party."

"And the situation from yesterday, that is, me, if someone is the head, it seems that he has taken the big head in this way, but he will definitely not feel comfortable in his heart."

Li An lowered his head silently.

Du Yuan sighed when he saw this, he didn't want to say something heavy, but he was in the officialdom and couldn't help himself.

He had already received a message from an elder that he might be transferred out after a while.

If you don't teach Li An well now, you will leave the yamen in the future, and Li An will have to suffer countless hardships.

In order not to let his nephew and future son-in-law suffer, Du Yuan could only harden his heart and say sternly:

"An'er, you... Crossed the line. ”

"Although you are my nephew who always catches heads, everyone looks at my face, and some things don't care about you."

"But they're going to keep it in their hearts, and with me, they're not going to say anything or do anything. But once I leave the Yamen, and wait for the new chief catcher to take office in the future, in order to tie up the new catcher, the first person to be excluded and suppressed is you. ”

Stretching out his hand to straighten Li An's lowered head, Du Yuan looked at Li An's eyes and said seriously: "There is a saying in the rivers and lakes, if you come out to mix, you will pay it back sooner or later." No matter which line you enter, even if you have a relationship, you must abide by the rules inside, and those who do not follow the rules will die without a place to bury once the backers behind them fall. ”

Lying on the bed at home, Li An played with ingots in his hands, thinking about what his second uncle Du Yuan said to him today.

Thinking about the process of collecting the money last night, and dividing the money in his own private opinion, Li Ang felt that he had indeed exceeded it.

Now I am in the officialdom, not in the small construction site I used to be.

The kind of thinking that you have no scruples if you have a relationship with yourself has to change it.

In the construction site, the relationship collapsed, at most it was swept away, and it was a big deal to find a new construction site and go back to work.

But in officialdom, once it fails, it will be the end of death and exile, or even more serious, it is possible to behead all the doors.

"Officialdom is like dancing on a blade, you have to be careful in everything!"

After thinking for a long time, Li An sighed, took the ingots into his arms, turned over, found a comfortable position, and began to fall asleep.

In fact, he wanted to be more chic.

But in the gazebo, a young girl who had been sharpening her sword dispelled his idea.

It's dusk in the blink of an eye.

Li An rubbed the droppings in the corners of his eyes and opened the door.

The dusk sunset sprinkled in the quiet courtyard, and the gentle breeze blew through the well-tended flower beds, bringing bursts of fresh fragrance of flowers and herbs.

Dusk, sunset, tranquility, breeze.

For some reason, such a beautiful scene not only did not bring Ang Lee a comfortable mood, but made him feel lonely and lonely in his heart, as if he was abandoned by the whole world at this moment.

"Why are you standing stupidly, don't dodge yet, don't eat."

Just when Li An was in a trance, lonely and lonely in his heart, and was about to chant a lonely poem to set off this situation, a delicate figure, carrying a food box, stood in front of him with a cold face.

"Sister Yue, you are so good, my stomach has long been hungry and growling, or you feel sorry for me the most."

Smelling the aroma of food coming from the food box, Ang Lee licked his face and slapped his ass.

Du Xiaoyue, who had a cold face, heard this disgusting sycophant, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, but then she pretended to be angry and snorted.

"Who cares for you, I wish you starved to death."

Although she said it fiercely, Du Xiaoyue still walked into the house with a food box.

After a warm dinner with his beautiful cousin, Li Ang changed into the clothes of a servant, picked his teeth, and carried the dinner prepared for the master while humming a little song and went to the cell.

Ang Lee's clerical servant was in charge of the cell.

There were two people in total, each on duty for a day and a night.

The day before yesterday, because it was the first day of errands, and there was nothing to do in the cell, the cell boss asked him to go back in the morning in order to shoot the second uncle's sycophants.

Humming a little song all the way to the cell, Ang Lee took a few deep breaths of fresh air outside, and then used his true qi to make a filter outside his nose and plunged into the cell.

As soon as he entered the cell, the light dimmed instantly.

"Came, have you eaten? Didn't eat a little. ”

The cell boss on duty saw Li An walk in, greeted him with a smile, and invited Li An to eat something.

"No, head, I've eaten it at home."

Smiling and declining the cell boss's invitation to dinner, Li Ang said hello to several other jailers and walked into the torture room.

As soon as he entered the torture room, Li An saw an old man in the clothes of a servant, who was bowing his head and trembling and packing his things.

"Master, you rest, I'll come."

Seeing this, Li An hurriedly stepped forward, put the food aside, and began to help the other party clean up.

This old man is the old clerk in the cell, and when Li An didn't come in the past, he was in charge of the records of the entire cell.

Now that he is older, his old eyes are dizzy and he can't see things clearly, and his hands are weak and he can't write for a long time, so Ang Lee appeared.

According to the rules in the yamen, when a novice takes over the old man's class, he must call the other party's master.

In this way, you can learn some unique skills from the other person.

"You stinky boy, come early next time, my eyes are not good, it's dark, I can't see the road clearly, if you fall on your heels, where is the injury, you stinky boy, you have to serve me."

Li An smiled, put the things in the box, helped the old man to walk out, and said: "Don't talk about serving you, even if you are to provide for the elderly and send you to the end, I am also willing to do it, after all, I am your apprentice, I will not come to these jobs, who will come." ”

"Haha, that's what you said, it just so happens that stinky boy in my family has not had a letter after being away from home for so many years, and he doesn't know where he died.

I'm still worried that I'm dead, who will throw the pot for me, since you said so, let's settle like this, if you dare to repent, even if I jump out of the coffin, I will beat you. ”

The master and apprentice laughed and chatted as they walked outside.

When he arrived outside the cell, the old man glanced around, and when he saw that there was no one, he stretched out his hand to hold Li An and whispered: "I want to interrogate that scholar tonight, you should pay attention when writing a confession." With my old man's many years of experience, this matter cannot be hidden, and there must be some toss.

Once someone is sent from above to review, anyone who is at fault will suffer, and you can't be sloppy on this and make a mistake.

All you have to do is write down what they say and don't interject.

If you can do what we do, don't talk if you can, write our words honestly, and don't make mistakes. ”

The old man's lifelong experience, Li Ang naturally listened carefully.

"Don't worry, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, but I don't want to be planted like this, I'll be careful and careful."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted the back of Li An's hand, and said a few more words before taking the dinner that Li An brought him, walking slowly towards home with a cane.
