Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 43 43 The down-and-out Secretary
Therefore, it is not because of illegal activities that corruption breeds, but because of corruption, illegal activities have the soil to survive.

He has the ability to take action, and he also has the vision to foresee the future, and then he can ruthlessly give up what should be given up. Even if he may be cheated, he can be calm and calm.

In the end, the people can applaud him. This is a model of a corrupt official!
But now, Jia Lian found that these people around him were heading more and more towards causing trouble for themselves.This is a stumbling block that prevents me from becoming a capable official.

This won't work. What I want is the kind of guy who can help me get money without getting myself into trouble.Rather than a group of people with short-sighted eyes who cannot tell the difference between big and small kings.

It's time to plan for the future.

Jia Lian made up his mind to change his team.

But as the boy yelled, someone really came out of Honglu Temple.

A servant was wearing a blue cloth robe with narrow sleeves, and the cuffs were all patched. Although it was common these days for a piece of clothing to have patches, the fact that someone working at the yamen gate still wore this attire was enough to prove that this yamen servant was Cleared.

People look at their clothes and horses look at their saddles. The servants of the Ministry of official affairs were wearing a red vest over a satin green coat, with a cross collar on top and dense pleats on the bottom, and a ribbon hanging around the waist.

Compared with that, the servants of Honglu Temple are obviously poor.

Seeing that the clerks at Honglu Temple's yamen were so badly dressed, Jia Lian's servants were so awesome that they consciously had friendship with the officials and looked down upon the officers of Honglu Temple.Immediately prepare to call out the Honglu Temple officer to fetch the horse.

"Why is that guard so ignorant!"

The boys also became more energetic, and as they spoke, they threw the reins into the guard's arms, muttering to themselves.

"They are all errands, why are you so blind! The officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs saw us and knew how to ask for permission to lead the horses. Why are you just standing there like this!"

This expression of fear that others would not know how many people they knew in the official department clearly showed that they had never seen the world.

The angry Jia Lian stepped forward and kicked Long'er aside, who was making a fuss. He put on a smile and said politely.

"Excuse me, I would like to thank you for your new appointment as the Secretary of the Honglu Temple. I wonder who is on duty today?"

It can be said that he smiled at the sight of others.

It is said that the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. I am a newbie here, so there is no reason to make enemies everywhere.

As soon as these words came out, the servant who was originally unhappy because of the noise outside the door, and whose face was livid because he was being treated like this when he went out, put on a smile.

"It turns out to be the new Mr. Jia, please come quickly!"

After saying that, the officer got off the hill and put away his angry thoughts.

And when he heard Jia Lian's words, the young man was also shocked.

It turns out that Mr. Cheng has been busy in the Ministry of Personnel all morning and is now an official.

This is a great joy.Long'er, who was lying on the ground, pounced on Jia Lian's footprints. He didn't feel unhappy at all because he was beaten, and said excitedly.

"Has the second master become the steward of this yamen?"

Jia Lian was too lazy to pay attention to them, and followed the officer's lead into Honglu Temple. The boys were impatient and prepared to follow them, but they were kicked by Jia Lian again before they realized that he and others had to hold their horses outside the Yamen.

This also made Jia Lian completely stop thinking about arranging his servant to work as an errand in Honglu Temple.

The official documents of the officials on hand can be saved, and there is no need to waste them on this group of people.

The officer led Jia Lian inside, but he was not enthusiastic;

Anyone who is treated like this will inevitably feel resentful. It is just because Jia Lian is a superior official that he does not dare to express his anger.

But today, Jia Lian didn't care. His work report was just a file.The police officers can't help, and they can't make up for the chaos.Just be polite outside the door and that's all. There's no need to make friends with him.

After entering the custody room of Honglu Temple, there was another escort who helped Jia Lian finalize the official documents. In this way, Jia Lian was completely praised by the Secretariat of Honglu Temple.

There is only one last step left, which is to finish the rest tomorrow and pay another visit to Shangguan.

Logically speaking, with the help of the minor officials, Jia Lian can go back after filing a file.

But no matter what, it was the first time for Jia Lian to take on such a big position. He was inevitably happy and wanted to see where his future office would be.

In addition to the custody room, he grabbed a clerk and went to the Secretary's Office where he was.

As a result, my good mood dropped by half after seeing this.

The Sibin Office has been abandoned for many years and was pushed to a remote area of ​​Honglu Temple. Although the entire office has an independent courtyard, there are only three tile-roofed houses in the courtyard, two of which have no roofs.

In the summer, the entire yard is overgrown with weeds and feels cold and gloomy. Those who don't know better think it is Lanruo Temple.

There is a side entrance on the side. The entire Honglu Temple passes by here to purchase some charcoal firewood, tea and the like.

Originally, the Honglu Temple was very poor. On weekdays, they often borrowed things on credit from the vendors outside the side door, which made the vendors outside the door and the officials of the Honglu Temple all big and small.

This moment was no exception. There was the clerk from Honglu Temple, who was constantly arguing with the hawker because of the price difference of two cents. Jia Lian looked at the hawker looking at Master Honglu Temple with disdain.

Even the vegetable sellers respect the officials of this yamen, which shows how miserable this place is.

Jia Lian sighed for a while.
