"I see."

Li Shulan nodded, "The Wang family is down, I don't know ...... people behind the Wang family."

Her words were not finished, and the meaning of which was understood by everyone present.

"The Wang family is unlucky, and the people behind him will definitely not be able to escape."

A smile flashed in Old Man Xu's eyes, "Not only have the people behind the Wang family been uprooted, but the Dali Temple that came to Hengzhou City last time was not much better." ”

"He's been cleaned up too?"

This news was unexpected to her, and she couldn't help but ask, "Master, could it be that what he did in Hengzhou City was played by someone?" ”

Old man Xu said with a smile: "I don't know if it's played or not, but he is a small person in the capital as a six-grade official, and now he is transferred out of the capital to serve in the local government, which is considered to give him a way to live." ”

"Oh, flat transfer?"

Li Shulan blinked her eyes and asked again, "Where will you be transferred?" ”

"You must not have imagined that he was transferred to the Lingnan region, and Shuzhou Zhili Prefecture served as the state tong, that place is remote and backward, and it is difficult for officials who go to those places to have the opportunity to be transferred back."

Old Man Xu raised his eyebrows at her, "Unless he has the ability to make outstanding political achievements, or has the help of nobles, he can only stay in that place for the rest of his life." ”

"Good thing, maybe that kind of place is right for him."

Li Shulan pursed her lips and smiled, "At least Wen Xi and his brothers won't bump into him again, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Don't worry, he can't protect himself now, and he doesn't have the energy to trouble you again."

Old Man Xu smiled, "This time, the officialdom in the capital is relatively involved, and the Shengshang has removed more than a dozen official positions, which is another big change in officialdom. ”

"So big of a move?"

Li Shulan was stunned, and asked again, "Is it the master behind the Wang family who is still implicated in the people on his head?" "Full content

"Hahahaha~"

Old Man Xu laughed heartily when he heard this, "You girl is smart, she can't hide anything from you, this time the first-class officials were implicated in one, plus the others, adding up to a dozen people who were taken off their official hats like this." ”

Li Shulan's heart moved, and she asked casually, "The master looks red, is there anything good?" ”

"You girl......"

Old Man Xu was stunned.

Li Shulan was also surprised, "Master, do you really want to re-enter the officialdom?" ”

Old Madam Xu couldn't help but smile when she saw this, "Sure enough, she can't hide it from Shulan girl, look at it, don't need to be reminded, she has already guessed." ”

Or Old Man Xu and Old Madam Xu had a vague premonition in their hearts, so Second Mrs. Xu, who had no idea, was really shocked in her heart.

Because she didn't know that her father-in-law would take advantage of the earthquake in the officialdom of the capital to have a chance to enter the officialdom.

Just asked an outsider to guess this, how could she not be surprised, she knew very well that the other party absolutely did not know before.

"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master."

Li Shulan got up and gave them a blessing and sincerely congratulated, "It is really a great joy for the master to return to the capital and re-enter the officialdom." ”

"You're congratulating too soon."

Old Man Xu smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "If you don't receive the holy decree for a day, there may be an accident, and you can rest assured when the dust settles." ”

"Now that the news is out, there will definitely not be too many problems, and the master is waiting for good things to come."

Li Shulan sat down again.

She knew that since the master could receive this news, there would definitely be no more mistakes.

So he smiled and quipped, "After the news of the master's return to the capital spreads, I believe that no one will bully our orphans and widows unscrupulously in the future, and we can live a good life in peace for a few days." ”

There was a touch of pity in Mrs. Xu's eyes, "You kid, you have really worked hard for you in the past two years." ”

"Don't worry, at least in our Hengzhou City, you can live in peace."

Old Man Xu sighed secretly, "No one will bully you anymore, if there is anything in the future, you can send someone to find Shen Jinpeng, the boy of the Shen family, he has a good relationship with your family Zhenglei, and he will help you." ”

"Thank you, master, I remember."

Li Shulan flashed the figure of Shen Zongzhen in her mind, but she didn't expect him to form a friendship with a scholar like Su Zhenglei.

Then he asked, "Master, this time you are a big family and move back to the capital together." ”

"Well, it should be a family."

Old Man Xu nodded, "If your second senior brother can't go to Guozijian, you can also go back to the capital to teach in the academy, your third senior brother and his family are working outside, and the juniors at home can only follow us back." ”

"Does the master know what position he will take when he returns to the capital?"

"In the past, the old man was the official position of the national prince and the priest wine, which belonged to the fourth grade, but this time, if nothing else, it is the official position of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, which belongs to the fifth grade."

The smile on Old Man Xu's face faded a little, "Even if it has been reduced by half, it can be regarded as a fifth-grade official position, which is not bad." ”

"It's good, the master is not young, it is more suitable for a more relaxed position, master, you can live a little easier, this is also good."

"You girl is right, the old man is very satisfied now, and he doesn't want to fight for anything, just live a stable life."

"The master has a point."

……

After lunch at Xu's house, Li Shulan said goodbye and returned home.

At night.

Tell the news of Old Man Xu to the three brothers.

Su Wenxuan was surprised, "Mother, is my master going back to the capital to be an official?" ”

"Yes, the case caused by the Wang family this time has implicated the officialdom in the capital greatly, and more than a dozen officials have been directly dismissed."

Li Shulan nodded, "The Xu family should use connections, and Old Man Xu has the opportunity to return to the capital this time, although the grade has been reduced by half, it is a good opportunity." ”

"It's a good thing, Shigong should have waited for this opportunity a long time ago, and now that the opportunity comes, he will naturally not miss it."

Su Wenxi thought thoughtfully, "With Shigong's age and the fact that he has been away from the capital for more than ten years, it is not so easy to go back."

The official position in the capital is a radish and a pit, and there are too many people competing for it, and Shi Gongyuan must be powerless in Hengzhou City.

If it weren't for the fact that so many officials were dismissed in the capital this time, Shigong would not have much chance, of course, Shigong could go back this time, and I am afraid that the master would also pay a lot of price in the capital. ”

"Definitely."

Su Wenkai nodded and said: "Although there are more than a dozen official positions in the capital suddenly vacant, those people in the capital want to divide up I'm afraid it's too little, if Old Man Xu can return to the capital, in addition to his connections, there must be someone to help, otherwise the people who have left his post for more than ten years want to return to the officialdom of the capital again, and there is no difference between ascending to the sky." ”

"Needless to say, if it was easy to go back, Shigong would have returned to the capital a long time ago."

Su Wenxuan said: "Of course, the master has served in the Guozijian for many years, and he will definitely not be able to say that he has no connections, plus the master's mother's maiden family is in the capital, there must be someone in the officialdom."

Besides, the position that the master got this time was from Wupin, and the people who came into contact with the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy were the saints and the princes, and the right to be a priest and wine was still greater than that of the prince.

I'm afraid this kind of position is not an ordinary person to help with, no wonder Shigong is so happy before he receives the holy decree. ”

"Okay, these things will be discussed when you have time."

Li Shulan furrowed her brows, "According to what your master said, Xie Yuanming was demoted and transferred out of the capital and went to Shuzhou Zhili Prefecture to serve as a state secretary, in his heart, I am afraid that it is no different from exile." ”
