Chapter 377: The opponent is getting stronger and stronger
"These two people still have faces, I haven't gone to them yet!" Knowing that the two of them had already been killed at the door of the mansion, Cui Pu couldn't help but grit his teeth.
But Chen Junbi said that Dai Ziang's official rank was a little higher than him, and it was impossible for Cui Pu to leave people out like he did with Wang Tianci.
Although he was unhappy, he still resigned himself to his fate and asked someone to bring him in, and he dressed up and squeezed out a smiling face to go out to meet guests.
Dai Ziang and the two were also very enthusiastic. As soon as they saw Cui Pu appear, they quickly stood up, respectfully saluted Cui Pu, and shouted in their mouths: "Cui Zhifu, we are here to apologize to you!"
Seeing this, Cui Pu's heart became more and more unhappy -- these two people were so slippery! Now that they had occupied the moral high ground from the beginning, how could he take the opportunity to make trouble? Many of the methods he had just thought of couldn't be used!
Thinking in his heart, he kept walking under his feet, and hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute.
The three of you pulled me, I pulled you, pretended to say kind words for a long time, and it was easy to drag your sore legs and feet to sit down.
Picking up the tea cup to moisten his throat, Dai Ziang bowed his hand to Cui Pu again: "This time it is indeed me who is wrong." My place is the closest to Hailing County, so as soon as I heard that Hailing County sent someone to ask for help, saying that the embankment on the shore of the Yellow Sea could not be defended, I thought of the safety of the tens of thousands of people living in Hailing County, and immediately couldn't sit still, so I handed over most of his elite soldiers to him. At that time, my brain was also hot, and I didn't even think that since Hailing County was affected, the situation in other parts of Yangzhou Mansion would not be much better! As a result, when your people from Governor Cui's Mansion came to ask for help, I realized that there were not many people under my command who could lend you any more!"
"Hey!" he sighed, "Speaking of which, the guy you sent is also hard-hearted. As soon as I heard that I had no one to borrow, I turned around and left! I originally wanted to say that I could go and ask the Jiedu envoy to intercede and ask him to help send a few people! But in the end, it was okay, he went to Wang Tingshi to borrow someone. Otherwise, I will be a sinner for the people of Jingjiang County!"
Cui Pu quietly listened to him finish his long words, and the sneer on the corner of his lips couldn't be maintained.
This official of his is really good at speaking. Obviously, he and Chen Junbi were in cahoots, and they didn't lend him any soldiers they had. As soon as he turned his head, he actually directly put the responsibility back on Hu San? The last few words were clearly complaining to him that Hu San was ignorant and didn't give him face! By the way, he also hacked the relationship between him and Wang Tingshi. If there are other obedient people here, others will have to suspect that he and Wang Tingshi have been secretly communicating for a long time!
As soon as Dai Ziang's words fell, Chen Junbi knelt down directly.
"The lower officials are guilty! The lower officials should not ignore the people in other parts of Yangzhou Prefecture in order to protect the well-being of the people of Hailing County! The lower officials have too narrow a vision, they have not considered the overall situation, and they have almost harmed tens of thousands of people in Jingjiang County.
And punish a fart!
If you are a county magistrate of Hailing County, if you do not protect the safety of the people of Hailing County, who will you protect? Your vision is narrow, but your vision does not need to be enlarged at all! Because this Yangzhou Mansion is the territory under my jurisdiction. If you manage too much, you will exceed your authority! In the end, you will be punished!
This person is screaming so loudly, in fact, where is he confessing? He is asking for credit for himself, he is deliberately provoking him!
Cui Pu tilted his head and took a deep breath before he eased down and talked to them properly.
"You two are thinking too much. You have your own considerations, and you are all thinking about the people, and you can't take care of anything else for a while. When I heard the news, the government was indeed a little angry, but fortunately, Wang Tingshi reached out in time to solve the urgent need of the government. Now that everything has passed, the house has long forgotten about it. It's better that it didn't happen, and you don't talk about it again. ”
Hearing him say this, Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi knew his attitude, and they were secretly anxious.
Originally, the two of them joined hands to pit Cui Pu, but they didn't really want to use the people of Jingjiang County as rafts. After all, they are not fools who can get to this point. They just thought that now in the entire Jiangnan East Road, the only ones with military power in hand are Dai Ziang and Xiao Liang, the envoy of Yangzhou Dongdao.
But in this case, even if Cui Pu asks for help, he will definitely have to ask for help one by one, and he will not directly kill the Jiedu envoy. Therefore, he deliberately threw this sentence out, even if he wanted Cui Pu to beg him well. He took the opportunity to save Cui Pu's face, that is, to vent his anger at Wang Tianci's incident.
But who would have thought that Hu San was so domineering, as soon as he heard that there were no soldiers to borrow, he turned around and left, and turned his head and stepped into the gate of Wang Tingshi's house!
At this point, he put himself in an awkward position.
If Cui Pu didn't do a good job in disaster relief and left any big disasters behind, he could still put some gold on his face on the grounds that his people had saved such a big place as Hailing County. However, who knew that Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao were so strong in action, not only did they appease the people in time and reduce the disaster to the lowest level, but they also made history!
As a result, Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi were in an even worse mood.
These two people hurriedly sent a letter to Li Linfu and begged him to help intercede. After all, the saint believes in him the most now, as long as he helps to say two good words, maybe the two of them can also take the opportunity to make a credit!
But the saint immediately praised Cui Pu in public in the court, and also called Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao two capable officers under him!
Li Linfu is a good person, and as soon as he saw the situation, he took back all the words that came to his lips, tried his best to cater to the saint, and even held Cui Pu up to the clouds.
Then as soon as he arrived, he hurriedly sent them a letter and asked them to hurry up and figure out their own way. At most, he can only excuse them a little when Cui Pu writes to them for a small complaint. As for the invitation, don't even think about it!
The two of them were anxious when they received the letter. After discussing it together, they both went to Cui Pu's side to kill them.
They didn't believe it, they had already taken the initiative to admit their mistakes, Cui Pu was really bold enough to be unkind to his superiors!
Of course Cui Pu didn't have the guts.
Maybe there was one when he was a gentleman or a magistrate in the past. But now, he is the prefect of a place, and he has a lot more weight in his heart to measure things, and he can no longer do what he wants as before.
So now, even if he hated these two people in his heart and hated them so much that he wanted to twist their heads off and play with them right now, he still had a smile on his face and continued to say insincere words.
The three of them stimulated each other back and forth for dozens of rounds, and it was time for lunch. At the dinner table, there was another mutual praise and temptation. After a meal, Cui Pu was exhausted.
It's easy to send these two people away, and he is about to return to Mu Jiaojiao's side alive, unable to paralyze.
"These two bastards!" he said through gritted teeth.
"Hey, you didn't embarrass them on the spot this time?" Mu Jiaojiao whispered in surprise.
"I would have liked, but both of them were loaches, and they were both very slippery. Talking and doing things are all leaky, and one of them is still my superior, what can I do with them? I can only laugh and eat together. Now I still feel that my stomach is bloated uncomfortably, and I am all angry!" Cui Pu said, and quickly grabbed her hand, "You rub it for me, it's uncomfortable for me!"
Mu Jiaojiao reluctantly rubbed him a few times. But she still couldn't figure it out: "You really didn't retaliate back? Not at all? This doesn't look like your style!"
"I know now that something like this slapping in the face in public works for those who want to save face. But look at Chen Junbi and Dai Ziang, both of them have already been in the same league as Li Linfu, do they know what their faces are? Even if I hit them, it would be useless! Therefore, I thought of a different method. Cui Pu whispered, the unhappiness on his face faded, and was replaced by a wicked smile.
She knew it. How could this guy possibly swallow such a breath?
"Tell me, what are you going to do this time?"
"It's very simple, prescribe the right medicine!" Cui Pu opened his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "This time, aren't they just afraid that I will sue the saint and tell me about the two of them colluding with me?"
"Really?"
"Of course I don't say it! They treat me as stupid? But there is a Li Linfu next to the saint! Even if I really complain, with Li Linfu's eloquence, even if they have committed a mortal crime, they can still tell him that these two people have made great contributions! One is not good, and let the saint remember these two names, isn't it plain for them to go up to heaven to hear? With this kung fu, I might as well say a few more good words to Wang Tingshi, so that the saint can see more of his real achievements. In this way, it can be regarded as a reward for his efforts to support us this time!"
I see.
Now, he is really more and more calm and open-minded, and knows to think about things from a different perspective. As for Chen Junbi and Dai Ziang...... These two people weren't really important, but now let's just let them jump. Later, when he has his hands free, he will slowly clean them up.
The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips hooked slightly, and she said, "When this matter is done, let's go to visit Wang Tingshi together! ”
"That's a must!" Cui Pu immediately turned over and wanted to discuss it carefully with her.
But without saying a word, Mung Bean ran in: "Lang Jun, lady, there is an old lady at the door of the mansion, dirty, coughing and runny, but she refuses to leave, shouting to see Cao Niangzi!"
