Chapter 51 The Great Dry Illness is Terminally Ill
The son of the Hubu Shangshu does not have an official title and real power, but he can be powerful and commanding in this Ziyang City, isn't this a great sorrow for the Daqian court?
The dynasty collapsed, the friends were traitors, and it was reflected that outside the temple, there was no law for the local officials, and such a court could manage the world well!
Jiang Chen felt that the ugly drama being staged in front of him was simply the epitome of the omen of the death of the country, he shook his head and turned to leave, if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but make a move.
The cries of innocent people were heard behind him again, mixed with the merciless insults and whipping of officers and soldiers, and this was actually a human tragedy that was nakedly staged in broad daylight in the territory of Daqian!
Luo Tiancheng saw Jiang Chen's gloomy face, so he stepped forward and said to him: "Brother Chen, I know you are very angry now, but this kind of thing happens almost every day, and we really can't do anything." ”
"But in time, if I can be an official in a high position, I must revive the dynasty and remove those despicable villains who are vegetarian and fill their pockets from the court one by one!"
"I don't know exactly when I'll be able to do it, but I'm not going to give up!"
Luo Tiancheng, who was dressed as a post officer, swore that he would say his ambitions, and others would definitely think that he was delusional when they heard his words, but Jiang Chen cast encouraging glances at him.
"Sometimes I almost forget that you are also a second-generation official."
Luo Tiancheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Chen, this is mocking me." ”
"No, I mean, you have three views of integrity, not arrogant or impatient, what is commendable is that you also have a heart to protect the people of the world, which is really rare in the second generation of officials who were born with a golden spoon."
"So, sometimes I forget that you are also a second-generation official, but it is not a good choice to stay in the Water Horse Station, and I hope that one day you will be able to fulfill the promise you made today."
Jiang Chen has support and encouragement for Luo Tiancheng, and he also has a lot of praise, but he also believes that an old fritter in officialdom like Luo Tiancheng's father will not let his son wade into troubled waters.
It is almost impossible to revive the government and put things in order with one's own efforts, and the imperial court has reached a terminal illness point, and it can only be said to be wishful thinking with full enthusiasm alone, and nothing can change it.
Jiang Chen knew this in his heart, but he couldn't bear to hit Luo Tiancheng's confidence, so while supporting him, he had another plan in his heart.
At an extraordinary moment, we can only use extraordinary means to fight against this world, and it is better not to stir up the muddy water of officialdom.
The two found a restaurant to eat and chat, and then Jiang Chen learned from the small talk of others that the second generation of officials who made him look down on him was the son of Shi Baili, the current secretary of the imperial court, named Shi Guangjun.
The reason why he came to Ziyang this time seems to be that in addition to showing his special identity, he also has a more concerned purpose, that is, to finalize a family affair with the Lin family, the first wealthy family in the city.
Powerful people often prefer to join forces with their peers to ensure that their wealth and power will only grow exponentially, without fear of falling out at the hands of the next generation.
The Lin family is a well-known family in the area of Ziyang in the south, and the fields, products, money and grain in their hands can be described as tens of thousands, which is far richer than the state pastor of a rich prefecture and county in the Daqian Dynasty.
This time, the son of Hubu Shangshu is going to marry the daughter of the Lin family, and as soon as the news comes out, it has become the focus of Quanzi Yang City, and the two families are planning to join forces to further consolidate the family's strength and position in this troubled era.
Jiang Chen put down his chopsticks and said to Luo Tiancheng: "Tiancheng, you can go back first later, I still have to continue to do something in the city, so don't worry about me." ”
"Okay, Brother Chen, you can come to me at any time if you have anything, as long as I can do it, I will never say anything."
In order not to delay the affairs of Luo Tiancheng's station, Jiang Chen told him not to continue to accompany him, and at the same time, he also meant to break up this kid by doing so, because he saw another person in this restaurant that made him care.
This person is separated from Jiang Chen by two tables, and his dark green official uniform is very conspicuous, and there is a delicate and small birdcage in his hand.
The official in charge of recruiting just now was him, and after breaking up the families of innocent people, he was in the mood to come here to drink and eat at this time, and it was really angry to watch.
"Man, cut me another plate of lamb and heat up a pot of good wine!"
"Be quick with your hands and feet, if you make Uncle Ben unhappy, you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
The guy scolded the guy and scolded, and while he drank a glass of wine, he couldn't help but sing a little tune.
Jiang Chen just sat silently and didn't take action, and when this guy was full of wine and food, he staggered out of the hall before he followed out casually.
When passing through an alley, the surrounding night was already dark, and Jiang Chen's figure quietly walked in front of the other party.
"Bang!"
"Oops!"
A muffled sound was followed by the man's howl.
"Who! Who just hit me? ”
When he came to his senses, he looked around and saw that there was nothing in the dark night, and he seemed to be alone in the narrow alley.
"What the hell?"
He touched his knee, and it was clear that someone had slammed a hard wood into his leg just now, and if he was now seven points drunk, and his eyes were not good, the feeling of pain would not be fake.
"I've seen you, get out of here!"
As a result, as soon as he said this, Jiang Chen really walked out slowly as he wished, but his whole face was still hidden in the shadows, making it completely difficult to see.
"You're looking for me?"
"Didn't you just hit me? Know who I am? ”
"I am a recruiting officer sent by the Great Cadre Army, and you dare to attack my imperial court officer, you want to exterminate the nine clans!"
This person declared his identity, and then began to shout wildly, but Jiang Chen didn't care at all, the wooden stick in his hand was also shaking up and down, and it looked like it would fall on the other party again at any time.
"Did you hear that?"
He scolded, but was immediately beaten by Jiang Chen, and there was a scream in the alley, but no one passed by, even if he really heard any movement, no one in this world would be willing to meddle.
"Don't fight, don't fight, the hero spares his life!"
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and asked, "You said you are an official?" What is your name? ”
"Yes, I'm Zhao Sanji, and I came to Ziyang to recruit troops on the order of the Ministry of War this time."
"Do you know what good things you've done?"
Zhao Sanji was frightened, and replied with a cower: "It's me who should be damned, and I shouldn't touch the idea of the eldest lady of the Lin family!" ”
