When Cui Pu was busy doing his business, Wei Thorn Shi was resolute, and together with Pei Jingluo, he and the group that stole the official silver were all arrested!

After interrogation, the group confessed to the incident, and most of the 20,000 taels of official silver that had been stolen were recovered.

The news was sent to Chang'an, causing the government and the opposition to shake, and the sage was even more angry, so he directly photographed the Imperial Forest Army to bring people back to Chang'an, and the three divisions presided over the trial.

This time, there was a prefect, three county orders, and a bunch of lower-level officials, and even the previous Guangzhou assassin was also implicated.

This move is also a great impact on Lingnan officialdom. After a single night's effort, a prefect and three county magistrates were vacated, didn't it make many people's eyes red? And as long as the people below filled these four vacancies, there would naturally be four more places, waiting for the next group of people to fill them. Therefore, as long as there are promising people in Lingnan, they will all move around, hoping to plan a good position for themselves.

Cui Pu also discussed with Mu Jiaojiao: "You said, if I win the position of magistrate of Xia Tang County to Wang Seventeen, will the two of you agree?"

Although Xiatang County is in Guangzhou Prefecture, it is a remote place, and it is not a good place - or it should be said that in such a large area of Guangzhou Prefecture, the city of Guangzhou is still prosperous because of the Hu merchants, and other places are all broken places where birds don't, and officials outside the Lingnan area simply don't bother to come to take office. It's just that a group of people here are still fighting for those positions.

However, Wang Seventeen has been the master bookkeeper for so many years and has accumulated a lot of experience. But he is shy, and it is not appropriate to rashly give him a position that is too good. This position is just right, you can let him practice his hands first. When he is a little more relaxed, he will change to a better place.

Mu Jiaojiao bowed his head. "As long as it's the position you want, can those two still stop it?"

"Hey, look at what you said, am I such a foolish person? I have great respect for these two Shangguan!" Cui Pu immediately said seriously.

Mu Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and she didn't bother to quibble with him.

Now that he had made up his mind, Cui Pu called Wang Qiqi over and asked for his opinion. In fact, when he was in Yangzhou before, Cui Pu mentioned that he would be sent to the next county to be the magistrate. After all, the main bookkeeper is only an official, and his status is far inferior to that of an official, and his development prospects are almost the same as that of an official. If he wants to completely gain a foothold in the Wang clan and trample on the useless brothers he came out, he must stand up and become an official!

But Wang 17 refused, saying that his ability was still shallow, and he was afraid that he would not be competent. Cui Pu knew that he knew that he would not be able to do a long time in the position of Yangzhou prefect, and with Wang Seventeen's ability, if he was alone, it would be a bit difficult to live like a fish in water in the treacherous Yangzhou. Therefore, he also put the matter on hold for the time being.

This time, it was easy to encounter another great opportunity, and Cui Pu didn't want to let it go again. Moreover, with Li Linfu's virtue of small belly and chicken intestines, he will definitely be pressed in Lingnan for many years. In this way, he can at least protect the king for seventeen or fourteen years.

After hearing this, Wang Qiqi thought for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll go." ”

"Okay, you go back and let your family pack your luggage first! I'll go to Wei Tingshi and Pei Jinglu to discuss, the three of us will jointly nominate you, don't worry if you can't get this position!" Cui Pu immediately patted his chest and packed the ticket.

But when he walked outside, when he came back, he was so angry that he was smoking, and his steps were almost flying.

"I'm angry, I'm angry!" he couldn't get rid of his anger after going back and forth in the room a few times, and he punched the couch in front of him angrily.

The poor couch was wronged, and he was split into two parts.

Mu Jiaojiao was also taken aback when she saw this. "What's the matter? But things aren't going well?"

"It's not just that it's not going well!" Cui Pu gritted his teeth, "This Wei Thorn History is really too shameless! It is true that he has made the most efforts to solve this big case, but this is not a reason for him to be fluttering! Today, I went to Pei Jingluo's envoy first, and just mentioned the matter of promoting Wang Seventeen, Pei Jingluo's envoy nodded and agreed. But when I went to look for Wei Tingshi, this person pretended to make me wait for a full hour before coming out to meet someone. As soon as he heard me say that he was going to give Wang Seventeen the position of the magistrate of Xiatang County, he exclaimed something, he already had a candidate for that position in his heart! He even had a candidate for several other positions! However, he could consider nodding his head for the position of the county magistrate of Xiatang County. Hehe, just a county, do you still need him to give it?"

Mu Jiaojiao listened, and couldn't help but have her eyelashes drooping slightly. "This guy is really floating. ”

He had just handled a case, but before the reward from Chang'an came, he had already begun to be arrogant, and he didn't even pay attention to Pei Jing's envoy? It stands to reason that the prefect Cui Pu is not qualified to consider it, but it is natural for him to be divided into one of the three prefects. There is one prefect and two prefects in the remainder, which is enough for him to install his people. Pei Jingluo's envoy has reached the first rank, and he is a righteous feudal official, and he will not look at this small official position. But this person is so shameless, he wants to take several major positions into his pocket, and he doesn't look at how big his appetite is, whether he can digest so many things!

"But isn't it? It's become a thing, and he really thinks he's the boss here in Lingnan? Talking to me is a tone of charity, as if he can pull down his body and say a few words to me, it's enough to give me face!" Cui Pu was still very angry.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly poured a bowl of herbal tea for him. "First drink a bowl of herbal tea to dissipate your gas. It's not worth it to worry about this kind of person. ”

Cui Pu took it and drank it all. I've been drinking this stuff lately, and I'm getting used to it, and the taste doesn't seem so bitter. Now that the whole bowl was down, he felt that the burning feeling had faded a little.

Mu Jiaojiao asked again: "What about the result? Did he finally relent?"

"In the end, I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so I just said something like this, then we still invited Pei Jingluo to come over and discuss the candidates together. He was instigated, and reluctantly relented and gave up the position of the magistrate of Xia Tang County. Cui Pu said coldly.

Although Pei Jingluo didn't care about these places, if he really pulled him in to discuss, he would definitely have a bowl of water. Then, Wei Tingshi is going to lose more than one position in the county!

He understood this truth in his heart, so he simply took a step back, so as not to lose more.

"It's good that you've backed down. Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice, "The key now is to arrange a way out for Wang Qi. When he is settled, we will have a big wish. ”

"Yes! If it weren't for the fact that Wang Seventeen's future was set as soon as possible, I wouldn't have been so reluctant to swallow my anger all the time! That old man is really one level lower than me, so he is really a few heads shorter than him!" Thinking about Wei Tingshi's virtue at that time, Cui Pu was still angry, "And do you know? When he finally let go, his face was ugly. A pair of eyes are like poisoned knives, and they almost shattered my body into ten thousand pieces!"

As you can imagine. You took the food from his mouth, can he not hate you?

"So, in the future, we will be ready to fight with Wei Jiaoshi for a long time?" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"It's a must. Cui Pu bowed his head.

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, before leaving the Thorn Mansion, I also met Golangjun of Wei Thorn History. This person's tone is very yin and yang, but he keeps saying that he has admired my reputation for a long time, and he will come to visit me in two days. ”

"It seems that there is no place to use us, so I plan to come to us to settle accounts after the autumn. Mu Jiaojiao said.

Anyway, they don't have to pay it back -- or do they think that by giving Cui Pu convenience in official affairs a few days ago, and now they have repaid Cui Pu's affection? But one thing is certain, that is, no matter who offends this family, they will keep this matter firmly in their hearts, and they will take revenge when they find an opportunity. Anyway, they don't eat it!

This heartless virtue is even more excessive than theirs!

Cui Pu sneered. "Come as you want, who's afraid of whom? I'm still holding my breath these days! If they dare to come to the door by themselves, I can completely tear their faces and make them look good!"

In fact, she was quite looking forward to this picture. After all, swallowing anger is not Cui Pu's painting style. These days, she is so distressed to see him so compromised in order to lay a solid foundation in Guangzhou first.

couldn't help but touch his head and whispered a few words of comfort. Cui Pu snuggled into her arms and asked for more tenderness from her more and more aggrieved.

Early the next morning, a gold-painted flower post was sent to Mu Jiaojiao.

"Lang Jun, lady, Mrs. Pei Jingluo sent a post to the house. ”

Mu Jiaojiao unfolded it and took a look: "Oh, it is the scriptures that have completely healed Madame's insomnia, and she plans to set up a table to thank us." The day was set in three days. ”

"Three days later?" Cui Pu raised his eyebrows, and then instructed Xiao Si'er, "You go and ask, the Economic Envoy Mansion can also give a post to the Assassin's Mansion." ”

Xiao Si'er hurriedly agreed to go out. It was only in the evening that he came back and said, "The Jingluo Envoy's Mansion did not give a post to the Assassin's Mansion. However, Wei Tingshi knew the news that his wife was going to put wine when he was cured, and he seemed to be moved. ”

As he expected. Wei Tingshi is now the time for the spring breeze to be proud, so naturally he must seize every opportunity to show his sense of existence. And at the banquet three days later, he and Pei Jingluo were there, how could he let go of this great opportunity to step on both of them with one kick?

It's a pity that it's not certain who will step on whom at that time!

He's been patient to the limit anyway. Although Pei Jingluo seems to be ignoring their every move now, only he knows what this person is thinking in his heart.

"You can inquire again in the next two days to see if he will bring his son with him. If he takes his son, then let's bring the eldest lady and them over!" Cui Pu said in a deep voice.
