Chapter 356: A Dog's Leg
Mu Jiaojiao smiled.
At a glance, he knew that he wanted to show off his might to Wu Lixin.
Also, after being suppressed by the martial arts for so many years, now that the mountain that was pressing on his head collapsed, he finally straightened his back, and he seized the time to suppress his former opponent, such a choice is normal.
Mu Jiaojiao's head was bright. "You're new to the new position, so it's necessary to do that. ”
Or his lady knows his heart best!
Someone was sure, Cui Pu immediately made up his mind: "Then it's decided!"
So, the next day, the post with the name of the new prefect flew to the desks of the various prefects under the Yangzhou Mansion - their new prefect arrived, everyone hurry up and bow down!
It is said that it is the new prefect, but everyone gathered together to drink in the government office during the Chinese New Year last year! But who knows, only a year has passed, and the young man who used to be their equals has now become their top boss!
However, this change is not very surprising. After all, everyone knows it: with Cui Pu's exploits in Tianchang County and Hailing County over the years, he should have been promoted to an unknown number of levels. Now he has been promoted from the prefect of Hailing County to the prefect of Yangzhou, and it seems that he has been promoted to four levels in a row, but thinking about his several exploits and the seven years he has spent in Xiatou County, this official position is actually well deserved to him.
Even, many people are very welcoming to the new prefect of Cui Pu. After all, Cui Pu can always make eye-catching achievements everywhere. But in view of his status as a county magistrate, he can only promote it on his own territory, and if he extends a little further, it will be overstepping, and he will be caught and sued if he is not careful.
But now it's different.
He became the prefect, so the entire county under the Yangzhou government was under his control. No matter what good things he has, if he only gives them to the next county, it will be favoritism. With his usual behavior, that was impossible.
Therefore, in fact, most people are looking forward to Cui Pu, the prefect, to take everyone to do a great career together, so that everyone can become famous in the world together!
Of course, this definitely does not include Wu Lixin, who continues to stay in Tianchang County, and Chen Junbi, the new magistrate of Hailing County.
Wu Lixin doesn't need to say. As early as last year, after learning the news that Cui Pu had become the prefect of Yangzhou, he was furious on the spot.
"How is that possible? The surname is Cui...... Cui Liu, why is he?"
What else can you rely on? Naturally, it is with his true ability, and Mu Jiaojiao, who has always been by his side and tried his best to assist him! You yourself are useless, and you can't sit down in the position that is already under your buttocks, so don't blame others for snatching the chair and sitting on it yourself.
Pei Shi looked at him coldly and roared there, and said coldly in his heart.
And Chen Junbi, he is following the path of Li Linfu. Hailing County has always been a good place, and it is even more remarkable after Cui Pu's more than three years of operation. Not only can you make money, but you can also get in touch with the red man Hejian County King in front of the saint and many old ministers in the court. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
Therefore, as soon as Cui Pu returned to Chang'an for the funeral, he began to jump up and down in front of Li Linfu, and Li Linfu approved Cui Pu's request for Ding Wei's excerpt so quickly, and it was inseparable from his pleading.
Of course, now that Li Linfu has grasped the political power of the DPRK and China, he has the intention of getting involved in the command of the military. So Guo Ziyi, who is now leading the troops, is the object of his efforts. However, Guo Ziyi is too shrewd, and his overtures are always beautifully refused. He thought of a way to save the country with a curve, that is-to capture Guo Tingshi first!
If Lao Tzu spoke, would his son still dare to disobey? Moreover, many of Guo Ziyi's subordinates are also the sons of the old department who once followed Guo Zhishi. In other words, as long as he can win that group of people, then Guo Ziyi and his party will not be at his mercy!
Therefore, he and Chen Junbi hit it off, and immediately pulled Cui Pu down from the position of the magistrate of Hailing County, and then pushed Chen Junbi up.
When Chen Junbi arrived in Hailing County, the first thing he did was to desperately erase all traces of Cui Pu's existence here. But how dare he erase things like leisure villas? But who knows, as soon as he said that he would disband this group of people who just eat and don't do serious things, they will openly destroy a pirate den!
This is a very good thing! Moreover, he has just taken office not long after he has come to such a good deed, doesn't this mean that this is his blessed land? Therefore, he hurriedly reported the matter to Li Linfu, and then, at Li Linfu's suggestion, took Hu San and others into Chang'an to make meritorious contributions.
Originally, according to Li Linfu's arrangement, they wanted to attribute this credit to him, so that it would be convenient to pave the way for him in the future. With this military exploit on his body, he can also be close to Guo Jianshi and them! For this reason, he also privately called Hu San and his party one by one to talk, and at that time, all of them were very honest, and they should do whatever he said. As a result, when they arrived at the Criminal Department, they all changed their minds!
On the spot, he almost rushed to his brain with blood and passed out directly.
Later, Li Linfu also called him to scold him, but what was the use of scolding him? When he first arrived, how could he know that the people around him surnamed Cui were also so cunning. He called people to coerce and lure him as soon as possible, but who knew that they reacted earlier than him, and they actually discussed it early, and they joined forces to deceive him!
In the end, Cui Pu became the prefect of Yangzhou, that is, his top boss, because of his meritorious work.
Hearing this news, he was also dark-eyed, and suddenly began to regret coming to Yangzhou!
"What should we do, master, shall we go to the banquet then?" Chen Junbi's wife obviously thought of going with him, and hurriedly asked him.
"Can you not go? We have already offended him once, and if we don't go to see him again this time, it will be contempt for the prefect, and I can't afford this great crime! You don't know who the new prefect is!" Chen Junbi said weakly.
Thinking of the task assigned to him by Li Linfu, he was even more head-headed - Li Linfu actually asked him to wait for an opportunity to get Cui Pu off the position of Yangzhou prefect, just like Cui Pu directly took down Zhou Prefect's Mansion!
Come on. Although he is a little smart, in terms of means and ruthlessness, he thinks that he is far inferior to Cui Pu. Now there is still a bad account between them, maybe this time, Cui Pu will directly kill him!
But even so, he couldn't help but go!
With a roll of his eyes, he quickly came up with an idea.
On the day of the post, all the magistrates and counties arrived in Yangzhou City with joy.
Cui Pu had a big feast this time, not only invited the best female performers in Yangzhou to perform singing and dancing, but also specially invited the chef of Wei's Restaurant to cook for everyone. Even now, that table of sweet potato feast is a very good hospitality.
Huang Zhixian and others are naturally enthusiastic about Cui Pu. talked to Cui Pu about the past six months, and everyone was also embarrassed.
Only Wu Lixin sat there alone, with a calm face and no sound for a long time.
Chen Junbi sat beside him, his eyes kept rolling around, and his eyes never left Cui Pu for a moment.
Fortunately, there was an alliance around him, and Wu Lixin was still a little comforted in his heart, so he whispered to him: "Let's leave after drinking in a while! I know that there is a good place in Yangzhou City, and the wine and food are better than Wei's Restaurant, so let's go there to drink when we go back." ”
"Wu County, if you want to leave early, go first! There are still many important things to tell the new prefect in this county, so I won't accompany you. Who knew that as soon as the words fell, Chen Junbi coldly rejected him.
Wu Lixin was stunned, and his heart shrank suddenly-you must know that when Chen Junbi first came to Yangzhou last year, he specially invited him to Yangzhou City through Governor Zhou, and the two drank and talked happily, and he also swore that he was on the same front as himself!
But now, this person is actually ......
Dropping this sentence, Chen Junbi didn't pay attention to him, but picked up the wine glass and approached Cui Pu, and said unusually doggedly: "Xiaguan also came to toast the new prefect for a glass." The lower officials do it first as a respect, prefect, please feel free!"
With that, he drank all the wine from his cup.
At the end, he picked up the wine jug and poured himself full of wine, and then said to Cui Pu: "Speaking of which, you are really destined for the lower official and the prefect." As soon as you left on the front foot, the officer on the back foot took over your position. And in the blink of an eye, you, the former county magistrate of Hailing County, have actually become the top boss of the lower officials! In the future, if the lower officials do not understand anything about the affairs in Hailing County, they will inevitably come to disturb the prefect. For this reason, the lower official first punished himself with three cups!"
In the blink of an eye, he had already drunk four glasses.
This wine is not the kind of water wine they drink on weekdays, which is more alcoholic than water, but a high-purity liquor made by red beans under the guidance of Mu Jiaojiao! After four glasses of wine, Chen Junbi was obviously drunk.
And when he was drunk, he had no scruples when he spoke, and he actually smiled at Cui Pu and said: "Governor Cui, you are a capable person, and the lower officials have always admired you." Now that I can do things under you, the lower officials are overjoyed, and you must mention more of the lower officials in the future!"
Cui Pu blinked, and suddenly felt funny.
He wanted to seize the opportunity to take revenge on this guy who almost ruined the foundation he had worked so hard to build! Who knows, before he could open his mouth, this guy had already taken the initiative to show favor to him! And he put his posture so low, like a pug, that he was a little bored for no reason.
This kind of person is indeed the same as Li Linfu and his ilk. When they gained power, they were triumphant in the face of everyone, and once they lost power, they immediately changed their faces, no matter whether they were enemies or passers-by in front of them, they just came up and licked them all the time. Those who can do such things must not be good people!
Now he doesn't even have the heart to abuse him, he just wants to get this bastard out of the way as soon as possible!
"Okay, this house knows, you go down to the bar first! ”
"Yes, yes, the prefect is busy now, so the lower officials won't bother. Later, when you are free, the lower officials will come to visit you again!" As if he didn't hear the coldness in his words, Chen Junbi continued to put a fat face desperately towards him.
Cui Pu was so disgusted that he was about to vomit!
It was easy to get rid of this person, so he set his eyes on Wu Lixin over there, and suddenly found that it was still Wu Lixin's fun!
