I'm a scumbag

Chapter 34 Lin Dang【For collection and pursuit】

Looking at Ning Chen who was laughing happily, Wan Hong felt very puzzled.

The situation is now so critical that Ning Chen is not worried at all.

Ning Chen didn't explain to Wan Hong why he was so happy, but asked Wan Hong, "Is Lu Gao's Lin Party headed by Left Prime Minister Lin Dunxin?"

Wan Hong shook his head: "Lin Zuoxiang is the leader of the Donglin Party, with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites as the main members.

The Lin Party that Lu Gao belongs to is headed by the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, Lin Youwei, mainly some people from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. "

"That's right. What about the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War?" Ning Chen continued to ask.

Wan Hong explained: "The Ministry of Punishment is mainly responsible for punishment and trial of cases. Although it has a lot of power, the position is too sensitive.

No one wants to lose one and give the other party an excuse to manipulate the national law.

Therefore, both parties only have people in the Ministry of Justice, but neither of them really controls the Ministry of Justice.

As for the Ministry of War, everyone simply looked down on it.

However, it is said that the Minister of the Ministry of War has now become the right minister, and the Ministry of War is now regarded as His Royal Highness's hardcore. "

After listening to Wan Hong's explanation, Ning Chen really didn't expect that there are so many undercurrents surging in the court.

Wan Hong hasn't mentioned Yushitai yet. Although no one in this group of people is affiliated with anyone, their combat effectiveness is really strong.

If you are caught, you will be crushed to death by spitting stars.

Except for those with strong fighting power like Ning Chen, no one is willing to provoke this group of people.

"Boss Wan, I didn't expect you, a businessman, to know more about the situation in the court than I, a member of the court." Ning Chen said to Wan Hong with a smile.

Wan Hong didn't even think about it, and flattered him directly: "Lord Ning, I don't know, it just shows that you, Master Ning, are really doing things."

After a pause, Wan Hong added: "In fact, these cronies are not secrets, no matter whether they are above the court or outside the court. With a little effort, you can find out. It's just that you don't care about Mr. Ning." .”

Not to mention, Ning Chen recalled it carefully, the original owner really didn't have any such things about cronies in his memory.

Apparently the original owner was also not interested in these things, which is why he was the No. [-] scholar for more than a year and still lived in the Hanlin official residence. He was still a Hanlin editor and was not reassigned.

"Since you see the court situation so clearly, tell me, what does Lin Youwei's Lin Party mean? Are you going to show love to Lin Dunxin?" Ning Chen continued to ask Wan Hong.

By the way, Ning Chen also made a judgment, and tried to press him to death where he might make a comeback.

"Lord Ning, I found out that this time it should be related to His Highness's implementation of the new version of the examination system.

Although I don't know the specific content, but I think that the most likely to be unlucky should be Lin Youwei and the others.

The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry are all linked to money.

When they really checked it out, they couldn't help but check it out.

As for whether he has shown his favor to the left, I really can't guess Mr. Ning.

Maybe there might be, after all, Prime Minister Zuo is now No. 1 speech official, the head of all officials. "

The question Ning Chen asked was really out of line for Fatty Wan.

But what Fatty Wan said is right, if you really look at it according to Wu Zhao's new version of the exam.

The most unlucky ones are the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.

They are with money every day, and they may be the most dishonest ones.

So they should be the ones who are most anxious.

Will Lin Youwei take advantage of this opportunity to show his favor to Zuo Xiang to restrain Wu Zhao, and at the same time keep their own group's official positions.

Ning Chen felt that this possibility was still very high.

Because although everyone is two groups, when the interests are the same, it does not prevent them from joining forces.

If this is really the case, Ning Chen feels that the probability of his own reversal in this wave is really very small.

"Even in the final settlement, [Ning] points are only one hundred, which is better than ten thousand [loyalty] points."

After thinking about this matter, Ning Chen's mood became even better.

"Boss Wan hasn't eaten yet, so stay here and have something to eat." Ning Chen invited Wan Hong to say.

"Master Ning..."

"Boss Wan, I'm more experienced than you in this court matter. It's not easy for you to find out so much information for me. I can do the rest by myself."

Hearing what Ning Chen said, Wan Hong felt a lot more at ease: "Then I will bother Master Ning."

"We are old friends, what are you polite about?"

Ning Chen asked the cook to cook a few simple side dishes, and then drank a few more glasses with Wan Hong.

Regardless of what Wan Hong is thinking, at least Wan Hong treats himself pretty well.

At the same time, in Lin Youwei's mansion, Lu Gao and some important members of the Lin Party all appeared in Lin Youwei's mansion.

Lin Youwei is an old man with two beards and a rather rich figure, who looks like a honest old man.

"Lord Lu, according to what you said, Ning Chen knew what was in the wine jar, but he didn't take it?" Lin Youwei asked Lu Gao.

Lu Gao nodded: "Yes, Ning Chen must know what's in the wine jar, but I don't know why he confiscated it."

Another main member of the Lin Party, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Ning Chen confiscated the money, isn't he going to help Mr. Lu?"

Lu Gao shook his head: "I can feel that Master Ning has a strong desire to help me."

The left servant of the Ministry of Industry frowned and said: "He doesn't take money, and then he wants to help you? What is he planning?"

It must be said that in the eyes of corrupt officials, if a person wants to help you without asking for money, it proves that there is something wrong with the person who does not take money.

The right servant of the Ministry of Industry suddenly thought of something, and said: "Could it be that this Ning Chen has joined hands with Prime Minister Zuo.

This time, Prime Minister Zuo is nominally trying to counter His Highness, but in fact is trying to suppress us and consolidate his position. "

The words of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry undoubtedly provided everyone with a new way of thinking.

Everyone in the room fell silent, thinking about the possibility of this matter.

After a long time, Lin You didn't say anything: "Master Zuo probably won't join hands with Ning Chen.

There is no common interest between them.

Even if it is to suppress us, but to them, it would hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred.

We were knocked down, and it was hard for them, too.

This will only give His Highness the opportunity to cultivate her own power.

The Left Prime Minister would not be willing to see such a thing happen.

And judging from various performances, Ning Chen and His Highness are still of one mind. "

Lin Youwei's words are undoubtedly very reasonable, so that everyone doesn't care about doubting that Ning Chen has a relationship with Zuo Xiang.

"Lord Lu, you seem to have something to say?" Lin Youwei looked at Lu Gao and asked.

After being named, Lu Gao hurriedly said: "Shangshu Lin, I may be a bit abrupt in one sentence, please don't blame me, my lords."

Lin Youwei said: "Lord Lu, it's okay to say."

Lu Gao said: "My lords, is there such a possibility? Does Ning Chen really want to select some available people for His Highness?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Gao added: "My lords, Lu does not mean that Lu is available. It's because throughout the banquet, Ning Chen kept asking me to recommend some available people to him."

After hearing Lu Gao's words, Lin Youwei said, "Master Lu is too worried, Master Lu is also a real talent.

It would not be easy to keep the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts in the past few years without Mr. Lu's dedication.

Otherwise, this time we will not choose to let Mr. Lu stand out. "

Lu Gao hurriedly cupped his hands: "It is my honor to be able to share your worries for adults."

Lin Youwei continued to ask: "Master Lu, are you saying that Ning Chen really keeps asking you to recommend people to him?"

Lu Gao nodded: "Yes, Ning Chen has always asked me to recommend someone for him."

"Then did Lord Lu recommend anyone to Ning Chen?" Lin Youwei asked.

Lu Gao said truthfully: "I recommended Cao Xing of Dali Temple to Ning Chen."

"Cao Xing?" Hearing this person recommended by Lu Gao, many people frowned.

Obviously, Cao Xing's reputation is really not good.

Seeing everyone's frowning expressions, Lu Gao quickly explained: "My lords, I think so.

If Ning Chen really has no selfish intentions, then we want to remove him from the stage.I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on me alone.

After all, he confiscated the money, and at most he was just an oversight of me.

But Cao Xing's words, then it's not a negligence.

A corrupt official who overlooked me may be able to explain clearly, but if another cruel official is used indiscriminately.

That cannot be explained clearly.

Your Highness is now in charge of the government, and the most important thing is stability.

His Highness personally appointed the person in charge of the examination, selected a corrupt official, and appointed a cruel official at the same time.

What do you think?

In this way, even if Ning Chen didn't actually take my money.

But I'm afraid His Highness has no choice but to take down Ning Chen in order to ease the tension with the officials.

As long as we take down Ning Chen, in fact, our goal has been achieved. "

Everyone nodded after hearing Lu Gao's words.

Lin Youwei looked at Lu Gao and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, we have to sacrifice you for the sake of the overall situation this time.

But Mr. Lu, don't worry, I have discussed it with Prime Minister Zuo.

At that time, we will use the new version of the exam as an excuse to spread too much and fear people's hearts, and reduce your punishment, Mr. Lu, to the minimum.

When the time comes, Mr. Lu, you will be quiet for a year or two, and I will propose that you, Mr. Lu, be the left servant of the household department, and the left minister will also support Mr. Lu. "

Lu Gao quickly said: "Shangshu Lin is serious. We are all on the same boat. I believe that everyone will save me. Lu has never doubted this."

Lin Youwei nodded after listening to Lu Gao's words: "It's good that Master Lu understands."

"Then when Prime Minister Zuo writes a letter to the court tomorrow, I will also join Prime Minister Zuo to write a letter. We must make this matter go through."

"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.
