If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Chapter 310: Being stingy with a few pieces of silver

Xi He bowed slightly and helped Lin Ke open the door.

There wasn't much of a scene outside the house. In the dead of night, there were two people kneeling and one person standing.

The person standing at the head should be Master Wu Chu Jianwu, and the two people kneeling behind him are Lu Renjia and the other should be Mr. Yu.

The two people knelt there properly, as if they had done something wrong and admitted it.

Wu Chujian stood in front, bowed deeply, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wu Chujian, I am sure Mr. Chen will punish these two people to calm down the anger."

Wu Chujian knew it very well.

Basically everyone in the court meeting that day was thoroughly investigated.

Li Chungang, Shopkeeper Tong, Chen An, etc., one by one, their information was placed on the desks of many people on the second day of the court meeting.

Lin Ke has a brother, but his surname is definitely not Chen.

But in that court meeting, there was a person named Chen.

Chen An, son of Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping is suspected to be the best storyteller in the world except Yu Chu. He fled the Yuzi family with his son, and his wife is dead.

And Chen An, probably inherited from his father, is a novelist.

A few days before the court meeting, all the famous storytellers in the world had come to the capital, probably to meet their master Chen Pingping.

Then they dispersed, and now Lin Ke's name, Lin Ke's deeds, Lin Ke's novels, etc. are sung all over the world.

Not to mention anything else, Chen An himself is not a simple character.

Not to mention that when Lu Renjia came back to report just now, Chen An claimed to be Lin Ke's adopted brother.

Also, Chen An should have been neighbors with Wang Lin for a long, long time, which is equivalent to watching Wang Lin grow up.

The eldest princess watched her grow up and was a good friend of the third prince. In a sense, this was more terrifying than Lin Ke's adopted brother.

Therefore, when Mr. Wu heard Mr. Yu's report, he was so frightened that he had no time to punish Mr. Yu and his servant Lu Renjia, who had never heard of it, so he hurried over.

"You are the great supporter behind the top manager of this neighborhood, Mr. Yu, Mr. Jingzhao Yin Yousi's eighth-grade seal script, right?"

Lin Ke smiled and asked.

However, just that sentence made Wu Chujian's body stiffen.

This voice... Wu Chujian always felt that this voice was a bit familiar, and thought of some possibility.

This sound seems to have been heard at the court meeting!

Wu Chujian stiffened and couldn't help but secretly raise his head and saw Lin Ke's face.

An unknown face, an ordinary public face.

However, just because he didn't know him and because he was wearing ordinary clothes, Wu Chujian's body trembled.

"I don't know that this official is actually Mr. Lin in front of me!" Wu Chujian's voice was filled with fear:

"The original intention of the lower official is to let the stewards of the government take care of the people. In this small house, there are many thieves! The money collected is also used as wages and given to the servants who take care of the people. I don't know why this is the case. It’s something!”

He explained tremblingly, showing that he had been greatly wronged.

"A level of indifference at the top will turn into a level of arrogance in the middle, and a level of arrogance at the bottom... It seems that this sentence is true."

Lin Ke shook his head: "You are not only bad, but also cunning."

If a supervisor does not have the above intention, would he dare to set a high price on his own?

He also talks about helping the people, which is clearly to support the bandits' self-respect, and then plunder the people's fat and oil. Those thieves and pickpockets might all be people from this Wu Chu Jian Yang!

Otherwise, if there is no official protection and collusion under the majestic emperor, these thieves will not steal from those who have money, and they will spend all day wandering around a neighborhood?

After hearing Lin Ke's words, Wu Chujian's body froze again.

"I can investigate you, you know that, right?" Lin Ke felt a little disappointed and reminded: "Every cent of your money, every income and expenditure can be investigated. If you confess, you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be lenient." Handle it strictly."

Wu Chujian's originally stiff body began to tremble, probably because he was having a fierce ideological struggle.

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

However, seeing Wu Chujian's appearance, Lin Ke knew that Wu Chujian was probably what he thought.

In other words, some corrupt officials and some corrupt officials among the officials in the world are essentially the same.

When something happens, first admit your fault, then shirk it and put all the responsibility on your subordinates.

It is undeniable that some responsibilities do lie with subordinates, and the boss's intentions may be good.

However, Wu Chujian is definitely not like this.

"The responsibility of the Great Wilderness Council is to supervise all officials and patrol the world. This is approved by the Holy Emperor." Lin Ke looked at Wu Chujian coldly: "I can kill him first and then report him. Do you believe it or not?"

When Wu Chujian heard the word "cut", he bowed down to the end.

He had no idea how a trivial matter could be "cut off"?

"To you, someone else's annual fee may be just the price of a piece of clothing, but to others, it may be a long period of living expenses!"

Some people buy computers worth RMB 7,000 to RMB 8,000, wear expensive sneakers, and then declare that they are starving to death.

And some people can only eat a bucket of instant noodles on their birthday.

I have never been exposed to it, experienced it, or heard of it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

What's more, Wu Chujian, as a person from the Imperial Capital, should be aware of this kind of thing.

There is no Internet here, and not all information can only be known through the Internet.

Take just two steps and you might see this slum.

People here are struggling to make ends meet. They can sell their children for a few taels of silver, and one day's wages are only enough to feed them for two days.

If Wu Chujian is oppressed like this

"Xiaoguan, I really don't know this!" Wu Chujian finally spoke again: "This place is full of mud and smells bad, and most of the residences are low and drafty places. Such a place should not be the residence of a gentleman!"

"Only those who care about money would live here with a few taels of money. For those people, even if I wait for the officials of the Holy Dynasty to ask for a few taels of silver, it won't do any harm!"

Wu Chujian almost burst into tears.

He really couldn't understand why a high-ranking figure like Lin Ke, who had the holy eye, would come to hang out in such a neighborhood.

You know, the previous Chaoyang Street was renovated immediately after Lin Ke became famous. It looked like a broad road inside and out.

Wu Chujian glanced at Xi He subconsciously, remembering that the servants had reported that officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were also there.

But later the Ministry of Rites declined, and Xi He seemed to be sent outside the capital...

Leaving the capital? What's the difference between that and being demoted?

But he didn't expect that this Xi He had extraordinary hands and eyes and could touch Lin Ke.

Xi He's expression at this time was also a little unnatural.

He was the person Wu Chujian said was stingy with little money.

It is said in "The Great Learning" that the way of a great university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection.

He didn't do it. (End of chapter)
