Chapter 378 Follow the old man to kill a few chickens

"he died."

When Liao Jin said this, his expression was strange.

It seems to be contemptuous, but also seems to be troubled.

"I can't!"

Yang Xuan thought about it for a while.

After entering northern Xinjiang, Deng Yan transformed himself, bragging about how good his network in Chang'an was, how many dignitaries and officials he knew, how much energy he could gather with a single yell, and so on.

Be careful with bragging pens in officialdom, low-ranking officials are fine with bragging, and it’s fine to act like a market woman.

But when it comes to the rank of servant, such unscrupulous boasting seems a bit foolish.

Even a servant who has become an official should continue the official rules and be cautious in his words and deeds.

When he was in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, Deng Yan restrained himself after suffering a loss, as quiet as a quail.

But when he arrived in northern Xinjiang, the man turned into a parrot.

Of course, the elderly will have many troubles after becoming an official.

The former high-ranking official has long been accustomed to the days of being surrounded by stars and moons, and someone responds respectfully to every word and deed, and even flatters and praises him.

Once you become an official, this day will be gone. No matter what you say, the only people who praise and praise are the servants at home. Even the old wife and children and grandchildren are not interested in mixing.

This gap is so huge that many post-official officials have become Xianglin's wives, bragging and nagging non-stop.

It has nothing to do with conduct.

It's only about humanity.

Liao Jin entered the city side by side with him.

"How did you die?" Yang Xuan asked.

"He said he died of fright."

"His courage... shouldn't be so small?"

What Deng Yan has been through these days is not easy. He could handle it when he was robbed by the Beiliao people, and he could also handle it when he was put in the prison of Beiliao.
"A timid person can't be a high-ranking official." Liao Jin said leisurely: "This matter is also very ridiculous."

Ridiculous... Could it be that Lao Huang Leiting was furious and wanted to clean up Deng Yan?
The two arrived at the state house, and immediately entered Yang Xuan's room.

The officials watched them go in, and they dispersed resentfully.

At this time, if Yang Xuan turned around and found: Hey!Then someone, come in.

Whoever can enter will be the most beautiful boy in Chenzhou.

The future is boundless.

But Yang Xuan didn't wave, instead he ordered: "Look around."

"Yes."

Liao Jin sat down, and after someone served tea, the surrounding gradually became quiet.

Liao Jin held the hot teacup with a calm expression.

With a strong cultivation base, he is naturally not afraid of such temperatures.

But is it interesting to use cultivation bases in such places?

Yang Xuan tried it and found that he could carry it too.

It seems that his cultivation base has improved a lot!
Liao Jin put down his teacup, "After Deng Yan was robbed, the Deng family went back. Immediately after that, they wrote letters everywhere asking for help, and most of them went to Chang'an."

The purpose of the Deng family's letter to Chang'an is self-evident...to ask for help from Yang Songcheng and others. In the process, it is inevitable that they will vent their anger on Beijiang's head and criticize the officials and army of Beijiang.

But what should I say?
Yang Xuan glanced at Liao Jin, Deputy Liao's expression was calm, as if he was content.

The old ghost can't see emotions!

"This is eating inside and outside!"

Since Liao Jin regards himself as a future envoy, the behavior of the Deng family is a typical example of eating inside and outside.

According to the official rules, if there is an internal problem, it should be resolved internally, unless it cannot be resolved, if it is time to ask for help, if it is time to turn around, turn around.

Liao Jin said indifferently: "After Deng Yan was taken away, Xianggong immediately ordered Liu Qing, the marching commander, and you to go to the territory of Beiliao to rescue together. This is a dangerous trip, but you two have no hesitation. The morale of the soldiers is high. I want to avenge my shame..."

When something goes wrong, the official attitude at the first time is very important.

No.

is very important!
The posture at the first moment will give a signal to the outside world.

Beijiang attaches great importance to this matter, as can be seen from the staff who arranged for the rescue.

An outdated former servant of the household department was robbed, and Beijiang sent two big men to rescue him. Are you decisive?

Interested enough?
No one can find fault with this matter.

"There are people! He likes to find fault with the eggs." Deputy Liao seemed to be mocking, "The Deng family is jumping up and down, lest the world will not be chaotic."

Gee!
That this evaluation was actually used shows that Huang Chunhui and Liao Jin were angry at the Deng family's reaction afterwards.

The matter was detonated, and Chang'an knew about it.

The former servant of the household department sat at home, but the officials in northern Xinjiang were slack, and the army in northern Xinjiang was incompetent, so that the Liao army sneaked in and took Deng Yan away.

Slap in the face!
The old faces of Huang Chunhui and Liao Jin felt uncomfortable thinking about it for a while.

"There are a few people coming from Chang'an, triumphant, arrogant and domineering." Liao Jin's eyes were slightly cold, and Yang Xuan felt that those clowns who knew what this deputy envoy Liao had done would probably know it. Find a place to squat and draw circles.

"The family felt that they had a helper, and they became more and more proud. They made a big fuss. But they accidentally let a thief enter the house."

thief... what does this mean?
Yang Xuan felt that Liao Jin was playing with him, pointing fingers at each other, which made him puzzled.

"The thief entered Deng's house, and the family was gathering together to discuss how to put pressure on Tao County. The thief was left unattended, and they searched wantonly in the back of his house..."

"That thief is also lucky." Yang Xuan smiled, and then agreed.

He was a little distracted, wondering if Yang Songcheng would take advantage of the situation to get mad.

"The thief rummaged through many places and found a huge amount of property..."

Yang Xuan was startled, "This..."

"The thief ran out with a lot of money, but after returning home, he was worried that the Deng family would pursue it... It happened that some people came to Chang'an again, and the thief became more and more worried, so..."

"The thief came to Tao County and surrendered himself."

What the hell!

This case can be called nine twists and eighteen bends!

"This can be regarded as a way to steal." Yang Xuan felt that this matter was very satisfying.

"The Deng family has reported the crime." Liao Jin smiled relaxedly, "It is said that he lost two jade pendants."

"But...the thief took more than ten pieces of jade pendants, and more than ten pieces of gold."

This case... Yang Xuan's scalp was numb, "Deputy envoy, is the Deng family well-off?"

"That's a good question." Liao Jin nodded appreciatively, "Deng Yan has been an official outside, and his family has no business, so he lives on the fields. The Deng family has a lot of fields, but if you want to accumulate such a huge Fu, do you think... possible?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "No."

Farming is looking at the sky to eat, and the income is limited.The only advantage is that it can continue indefinitely.

"After the incident, the local officials planned to enter Deng's house for investigation, but they were turned away. Today, the Deng's house is still closed. Why do you think it is?"

you still need to ask?

Yang Xuan sighed: "People are greedy."

"That's right!" Liao Jin said with a smile: "After Deng Yan came back, he first came to Tao County to thank Mr. Xianggong. After Mr. Xianggong said this, Deng Yan looked as usual and died in the residence that night."

Could it be that he killed him?

Yang Xuan thought it was impossible.

After this incident happened, Deng Yan's reputation was also bad, and it was difficult to do anything.

At this time, who would be so stupid as to kill him?
Suicide!

Yang Xuan raised his head, "He committed suicide in fear of crime!"

Liao Jin nodded, "If you can think of this, the old man is not in vain."

What do you mean?
Yang Xuan was puzzled.

"Zi Tai."

The voice is very kind.

But Yang Xuan thought of the group of noble children in Chang'an back then, and immediately cheered up, "Yes."

He bowed slightly.

"No need to do that." Deputy Liao said with a warm smile, "Do you know the strength of Northern Xinjiang?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "Know more, not much."

Of course he knew.

The so-called tyranny refers to local power, which is called local gentry in another world.

"The local tyrants occupy many fields and people, but they don't pay taxes."

"These local tyrants will recruit connections. From prefectures and counties to Taoxian County to Chang'an, their connections are everywhere. If you want to hook up with Chang'an, you must be introduced. Therefore, senior officials have become the objects of their flattery and win over .”

Liao Jin looked at him, "Tell me."

Yang Xuan thought for a while, "When a high-ranking official returns home, the power is gone, lonely, empty and cold..."

This word is a bit tiger wolf!

Yang Xuan felt a little regretful, and was going to turn off Suzaku for a long time.

"Lonely, empty and cold? This is quite appropriate." Liao Jin liked this word very much.

"When the local gentry get close, they give benefits and warmth. What can senior officials think after they become official? The lower officials think that first, they want not to be lonely and to be flattered. Second, and most importantly, they plan for their children and grandchildren, and for the future of the family. "

No matter how awesome you are as a high-ranking official, you will die and disappear, and your influence will no longer be there.

"While I am still alive, while my influence is still there, hurry up to seek benefits for the family and children and grandchildren."

Liao Jin smiled and said: "Some people say that you are young, and it is a bit of a joke to serve as the governor. These words can slap those people in the face."

His face turned cold, "Whether Deng Yan got those belongings back in Chang'an, or were they sent by local gentry, we need to find out!"

It's a hornet's nest!

Yang Xuan felt that Lao Liao was very courageous.

"Deputy envoy, be cautious about this matter..." Yang Xuan slightly expressed his favor.

Liao Jin looked at him, "I heard that all industries in Chenzhou are booming, I want to come and see."

The topic changed too quickly, Yang Xuan didn't keep up, so he slowed down, "The deputy envoy has worked hard all the way, why don't you take a rest first and go to inspect tomorrow?"

Liao Jin smiled and said: "If someone else said this, the old man would think that he was trying to prevaricate the old man, enough to create the illusion of a party of singing and dancing overnight. But you don't need to do this, but, just go and see now."

"Yes."

After leaving the gate of the state, Liao Jin pointed to the opposite stall and asked: "I have traveled a lot, but I have never seen anyone setting up a stall opposite the government office, which is detrimental to my dignity!"

Yang Xuan said: "That is a grassland merchant. Originally, the three ministries joined forces to cut off the trade with Chenzhou, but he brought his whole family to Lin'an without hesitation. After selling the goods, he was desperate and refused to go back. To stay here."

"Oh! Such loyal people want to set an example."

Although he agreed, Liao Jin obviously felt that Yang Xuan's move was a little too much.

The accompanying officials spoke in low voices.

"Even if it's for a reward, just set up a stall elsewhere, why bother blocking the opposite side of the state, it's a shame."

"Yes! It's detrimental to the majesty."

"What do you do for an official? Isn't it the word majesty?"

Just as everyone was muttering, there was a burst of shouting diagonally across.

"it is good!"

Everyone looked slowly, and saw a young girl spinning on a wooden pole, spinning faster and faster.

A group of people cheered loudly.

Liao Jin's eyelids twitched, "Is this... juggling?"

"Yes!"

"It's also on the opposite side of the state house?"

"Diagonally opposite." Yang Xuan corrected, "Also, it's lively."

What is required around the government office is quietness, and some even deliberately set rules around the government office, and no loud noises are allowed.Walking around these government offices, you will feel as if you have entered a cemetery.

"You, the governor, are different."

Deputy Liao ended those mutterings with these words.

Along the way, what I saw was that the business was flourishing and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

"It's rare for those foreign businessmen and Tang people to get along so well." Liao Jin sighed.

"There are thieves!"

A thin and small man jumped out from the crowd, and ran towards this side as if flying.

This idiot!

The accompanying sergeant sneered and prepared to take someone!
An old man seemed to want to avoid it in panic, but he stretched his legs quietly.

A prairie businessman seemed to have nothing to do with him and was about to leave, but he raised his arms.

blah blah!

Lock the throat at the top and sweep the legs at the bottom.

The thief did a backflip and fell heavily.

The old man and the prairie businessman exchanged hands.

"Good skill."

"Good acting."

The old man interprets Anxiety wonderfully.

"you are welcome!"

The two smiled at each other.

"The folk customs are simple!" Liao Jin couldn't help but praise.

The old man turned around and saw Yang Xuan, and hurriedly saluted, "I have met the envoy."

Yang Xuan nodded, "Yue Er! Why didn't you do business?"

Yue Er said: "The villain asked Erlang to look at the stall and come out for a walk."

After Yue Er left, Liao Jin asked, "What does that guy from just now do?"

Uh!
Yang Xuan said: "It turned out to be a criminal from Taiping."

"What did you do?"

Yang Xuan: "Cheat."

Liao Jin coughed dryly.

Behind him, someone muttered, "Sure enough, the folk customs are simple."

After some inspections, Deputy Envoy Liao also kindly chatted with the merchants.

"How do you feel about Chen Zhou?"

"it is good!"

"How is it?"

"Yang Shijun treats us equally, and the officials are good to us. They never discriminate against us because of our status. It is more comfortable in Chenzhou than we are in the tribe."

"Home away from home." Liao Jin glanced at Yang Xuan.

Although businessmen are not discriminated against very much now, there is no preferential treatment.

Chen Zhou's attitude towards businessmen can be regarded as a breakthrough.

After walking here, Liao Jin asked, "What do you think about this businessman?"

Yang Xuan said: "No business is not rich, but businessmen forget their righteousness when they see profit, so the lower officials think that an environment conducive to business should be created, but they must be vigilant against businessmen involved in politics. Once they show their heads, they will be severely beaten to make an example to others."

Businessmen will regard politics as business, the common people as their employees, and the country as their own shop. Everything is done for their own interests.

"Well said." Deputy Envoy Liao nodded, "Businessmen forget their righteousness for profit, are there any officials? The old man sees that there are quite a few."

This is an excuse.

What exactly is Lao Liao trying to do in this cloudy and foggy situation today?
Yang Xuan couldn't figure it out.

"If officials want to pursue profits, they must be flattered. Local tyrants are their natural partners."

Here comes the word!
Yang Xuan smiled.

"There are a lot of powerful people in northern Xinjiang. In recent years, they have harmed the local area. They have even colluded with officials and ruined the administration of officials... For this reason, the old man wants to find some chickens."

"What does the deputy envoy mean...to kill chickens and monkeys?"

"Yes. You have made a contribution this time, and the old man is thinking about how to reward you."

Then give the power to the money!
Yang Xuan restrained his mind, "What a subordinate official should do."

"If I want to give you money, I think you're not bad."

Bad!

Much worse to go!
Yang Xuan's heart was full of bitterness.

"It's too early to be promoted."

This is.

"Thinking about it..." Liao Jin looked at him.

"Why don't you follow the old man to kill some chickens."
