Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 75 Treating guests, beheading, accepting as a dog
Hao Duo thought about it all night when he couldn't sleep.

Really, I thought about it all night.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that what Liu Xun said seems to make sense.

As a matter of fact, the Qing Dynasty succeeded the Ming Dynasty, and the supervision system was already very complete. Every province and government usually has censor officials to conduct supervision. Generally, the governor of a province will also be named as the capital censor. This is a With a huge system, and any official of the fourth grade or above may have the opportunity to go directly to Tianting, it is not impossible to completely deceive the upper and lower, but it will definitely be difficult.

But Chaozhou is an exception. In other words, as a temporary official position, the Chaozhou governor has no established rules to follow, and there is no special supervision of his censor. Maybe the Qing court has not had time to figure out how to supervise him. Well, in other words, Hao Duo originally replaced the role of Yushi.

Secondly, because it is a new yamen, the supporting officials of the whole yamen have not had time to match, except for a few of their own people, there is no one above the fourth rank.

In the province, he is at the same level as the governor Liu Bingquan, and he may even be a little higher than him because he has the vain position of a cabinet scholar. There is no direct subordinate relationship.

In other words, as long as Hao Duo goes up, he can deal with the imperial envoy Wei Dutong who is coming this time, and if he goes down, he can deal with the family members of the dead Eight Banners and other soldiers of the Eight Banners.

So Hao Duo couldn't help but get tangled up.

Let's think about it from the perspective of the overall situation... At the moment when the feudal clan is about to be withdrawn, it is really not suitable to deal with the Hanchen Memorial Archway erected by His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, which occupies an important town and navy in Chaozhou.

And think about it from the standpoint of your own private future... In any case, I can't escape the responsibility for this matter, and if this matter becomes troublesome, the soldiers of the Eight Banners will dare to kill at will. The immediate family members of the senior officials must not be trembling in the days to come. If they don't make it right, they will really be brought out by His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to vent their anger on those Hanchens.

The punishment Liu Xun received in this matter may not necessarily be heavier than his own. Maybe if he handed over his booklet, he would really have to have a companion on the road to Huangquan.

Or go to Ninggu Pagoda together for the rest of his life.

But deceiving the emperor... This, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor, besides, His Majesty sent me out because he trusted me. What I did was not the way of a loyal minister.

Insomnia like this until the next morning, when I sighed and was about to eat breakfast, I saw a servant rushing over and said: "My lord, my lord, Wei, Wei Dutong is here, Wei Dutong has entered the city .”

"Huh? Wei Dutong has entered the city, so fast."

"It should be that I heard that something happened to us, so that Qingqi came here, bringing only a few entourages."

"Where is he now? Quick, quickly bring me my official uniform and ask the Venerable Master to accompany me to greet him in person."

"It shouldn't be necessary. It is said that when Wei Du came together, he rushed straight into Liu Zhongtang's house and directly into his house. We... can't welcome him at the gate of Liu's residence."

"Directly... entered Zhongtang's mansion? Did Wei Dutong and Master Zhongtang know each other when they were in the capital?"

"I don't know about this humble job, but Wei Dutong has a lot of friends in the capital. It's not surprising that he knows everyone, but he doesn't know what kind of relationship he can get with this knowledge."

"Um……"

Hao Duo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

No wonder, this Liu Xun is so sure that he can handle Wei Dutong. Could it be that these two people really know each other well?
Is this... possible?

Just thinking about it, the concierge ran in again after a while: "My lord, Wei, Wei Dutong and Liu Zhongtang have sent you a message to invite you to have lunch together."

"The two of them posted together? Where to eat?"

"It's in the Chaozhou government office. They say it's a family banquet. The person who sent the post is still waiting for your reply outside. Do you want to go?"

"Why don't you go? Forget it, don't wait for noon. You help me wash my face and change my clothes. I'll go there now."

"Then do you think you want the younger ones to accompany you?"

"Stay with me."

Having said that, Hao Duo packed up in a hurry, but came to Liu Dapao's house with extremely complicated feelings, and notified the concierge, who told him that Wei Dutong and Liu Zhongtang were having dinner in the dining room after a while. For breakfast, ask him to go with him.

But it made him have a clear understanding of the relationship between Wei Xiaobao and Liu Xun all at once, and for a while, he was quite uneasy.

No wonder this Liu Xun dared to be so arrogant to him, this is really emboldened!
Walking to the dining hall, I saw that Liu Dapao and Wei Xiaobao were talking and laughing while eating buns, and a female family member of Lord Wei even sat on the table together, but it was obvious that they had a good personal relationship To a certain extent.

"Hey, Hao Duo is here. I wanted to treat you to lunch. Now that I'm here, let's have some breakfast together? I made buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk and tofu nao. Which one do you want?"

"Hao Duo, a lowly position, see Wei Dutong, see Liu Zhongtang."

This attitude is much more humble than when facing Liu Dapao on weekdays.

There is no other way, we must know that although Wei Xiaobao, the deputy governor of the Zhenghuang Banner and the deputy chief of the imperial guards are both empty-handed, they are both his direct leaders.

One must know that he, Hao Duo, happens to be Zhenghuangqi!
He happened to be a former imperial guard!

He and Liu Dapao are officials on two lines. He is a servant of the emperor and a close minister. This is also his confidence in facing a big official like Liu Dapao.

But Wei Xiaobao is different. Wei Xiaobao was also a slave. Everyone knows that Kangxi wants to replace the banner owner with the capital. The Lord... is Kangxi himself!

In other words, in name, regardless of whether Wei Xiaobao is real or not, then Wei Xiaobao is Hao Duo's master.

Of course, after entering the customs, the relationship between the banner owner gradually weakened. After all, this thing is not real power, but a gap in status. In addition, Liu Dapao originally restrained him in dispatching him. This is a standard boss. It's blocked at both ends!
One is my master and the other is my boss. What the hell are these two wearing a pair of pants?

Then how can I have half a point of resistance?

But Wei Xiaobao ignored him at all, poured wine for Liu Dapao himself and said, "Brother Liu, tell me, what should you do if you encounter slaves who are disobedient?"

"It's nothing more than three tricks?"

"Which three moves?"

"To treat guests, behead them, and accept them as a dog. Usually, they treat the guests first to see if they know what they are interested in. If they are interested, they will be accepted, and if they are not, then they will be slaughtered, right? Hao Zhentai? Come, come and sit, we agreed earlier. Yes, I will treat you to dinner after Wei Dutong comes."

"........."

But Wei Xiaobao directly took out a stack of silver bills from his pocket and handed them to him, saying: "Take back the money and share it with the brothers. The dead brothers will go through the process of being killed in battle, and they will still have pensions for the rest of their lives, and the children will also be paid." Can enter the army earlier to eat hardcore crops.

Living brothers, tell them to keep their mouths shut. You have to explain the truth to them clearly. If this matter is brought to His Majesty, it will not be good for any of us. I know that you are all Zhenghuangqi, but Zhenghuangqi has no one. Can you handle it?Is Zhenghuangqi really a gold medal for avoiding death?
Tell them, for those who are obedient, everyone is a good brother, show loyalty and share the money together, and for those who talk nonsense, I will kick him out of the yellow flag, can it be done? "

"Wei Dutong, Liu Zhongtang, you two, don't worry, the chaos in Chaozhou this time is entirely due to the rebellion of the chaotic party, provoking the relationship between the Manchus and the Han in our city. These chaotic parties in the Tiandihui are too abominable. Pretending to be the Eight Banners, intercepting and killing Zhejiang business groups, on the other hand, pretending to be a green battalion, killing my Eight Banners' soldiers, and provoking innocent people in the city who don't know what is right and wrong, causing conflicts between the army and the people, and the conflict between the Manchu and the Han.

"Thanks to Master Zhongtang and Wei Dutong, you two were able to see through the conspiracy of the rebellious party and quell the turmoil in the city. It is a pity that because I, the soldiers of the Eight Banners, are the primary targets of the hatred and attacks of these rebellious parties, I will fight against them in the face of these rebellious parties. When they broke through, they suffered heavy losses, and more than 100 people were killed in battle.”

Liu Dapao smiled and handed Hao Duo a cigarette, "Mr. Hao, you are very sensible. Come on, let me light it for you."
