Chapter 287 Magistrate Shangyuan’s temptation and flattery
Chapter 287: Magistrate Shangyuan’s temptation and flattery

It was said that it could be done in half a day at most, but in fact, it took until Li Kaixiang and Hu Renbin came out of the Household Department together.

In fact, it took less than two sticks of incense in total.

It took almost as long as a stick of incense to communicate with Hu Renbin and officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In other words, the other party was trying to establish friendship with Hu Renbin in a roundabout way.

This magical experience made Li Kaixiang still in a daze even after he came out of the household department.

It’s really too surprising!
It turns out that there is such a simple way to solve the official business that is so difficult in his eyes? !
He is not stupid!
Just the performance of these people in the personal household department today is enough to prove that Hu Renbin is definitely not simple.

At least, he was definitely not from the "rich businessman of Yingtian Mansion" family that he usually referred to.

Li Kaixiang spends a lot of time dealing with the Sixth Department, and he knows the virtues of these people very well.

The rules for officials in the capital to meet with officials at the third level were actually created by people like them.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of these six officials, he doesn't care about your rank or official position at all.

Anyway, only you, the local magistrate, turn to the six ministries for help, and there is absolutely no six ministries who turn to the local magistrates.

It is precisely because of this natural suppression in the food chain that ordinary Six Ministry officials, even if they are just minor officials.

When facing local officials, his nostrils were pointed upward.

And the officials of the Sixth Ministry, even if they are transferred from the local area, will choose to join in the same trend.

It's simple, because now they are also one of the six.

So maintaining the authority and authority of the Six Ministries is to safeguard their own authority and interests.

Li Kaixiang has always been very clear about the rules here.

He clearly knows that he does not have the identity or the energy to enjoy the "exception"!

That's why he queued up at the door of the household.

But he never thought that the son of a wealthy businessman whom he thought was an "ordinary" person would actually give him such a big surprise.

On the way back to Shangyuan County, Li Kaixiang was silent for a long time.

He was thinking about what kind of person Hu Renbin was.

He suddenly remembered something.

After hearing Hu Renbin's name, the clerk from the Ministry of Revenue specifically asked about Hu Renbin's place of origin.

At that time, Hu Renbin's answer was "He is originally from Huaixi, and settled in Yingtianfu with his father"!
In other words, there is a high probability that Hu Renbin's father is a member of the Huaixi faction?
Otherwise, it would not make sense that he was originally from Huaixi and settled in Yingtian.

It’s just that there are a lot of people named Hu... there seem to be quite a few!
Li Kaixiang instinctively thought of Hu Weiyong and Master Hu first.

But he was very confident and eliminated this correct answer immediately.

Because in his opinion, if Hu Renbin was really from Hu Weiyong's family, how could he be a county captain? !

Although he is a county magistrate, he is also a county magistrate under Yingtian Mansion.

This information is more or less well-informed.

Naturally, he knew clearly that the current Hu Mansion was filled with relatives of the emperor.

In other words, if Hu Renbin is really from Mr. Hu's family, then even the princess is his cousin? !
With such a background, you want to be a county captain?

Not to mention other things, wouldn't it disgrace his brother-in-law as the crown prince?
Li Kaixiang couldn't think of a reason to do this anyway.

Therefore, he threw the correct answer aside very easily!
Then, he began to rack his brains to figure out, which other family in the Huaixi faction had the surname Hu?
But after much thought, Li Kaixiang still couldn't figure out what Hu Renbin's background was.

This makes Li Kaixiang extremely depressed!

You know, over the years since he was appointed as Shangyuan County Magistrate, he has actually been trying to find ways to build connections. But under normal circumstances, where is the relationship so easy to establish?

Without a certain origin or interest relationship, who would easily accept an official's surrender?

Therefore, Li Kaixiang has been busy for several years, but he is still alone.

But now he realizes that it's no wonder he can't have a relationship.

This huge relationship is far away and right in front of us!
Instead of worshiping the real Buddha in front of me, I went to look for those fake Arhats far away. No wonder I have never been able to get promoted.

I dare not say that my eyesight is not good enough!

Thinking of this, Li Kaixiang rolled his eyes and asked with a smile on his face.

"Lieutenant Hu County, it is my fault to respond to the Tianfu errand this time."

"You have forgotten that Lieutenant Hu is a native of Yingtian Mansion. We should let Lieutenant Hu go home to see his parents!"

"In this way, if I have some free time one day, I can accompany Lieutenant Hu County on a trip."

"I will also go to your house to apologize to my uncle and aunt and say hello. Isn't it convenient?"

When Hu Renbin heard this, he almost laughed out loud!

Go to my house?
Haha, let alone Li Kaixiang, an eighth-grade county magistrate!
How many third- and fourth-grade officials came to my house and trembled when they saw my father? ! !

As soon as you are introduced to the eighth-grade county magistrate, I am afraid that you will be trembling when you see the old housekeeper.

As the only son of Hu Weiyong, Hu Renbin knew very well that Hu Yi, the old housekeeper of the house, had many friends with officials outside.

Although they all use the banner of their father, Hu Weiyong, but...it works!

So much so that if Li Kaixiang could ask Hu Yi, the old housekeeper of the house, to do something like today, he would still be able to handle it without having to do anything himself.

However, even if Hu Renbin knew that his superior was touching his bottom, he still planned to fool him.

There's nothing he can do, he's afraid of his father!
"Thank you, county magistrate, for your kindness!"

"But my father was ill some time ago and resigned from his job and went home to recuperate!"

"Nowadays, there are basically no guests in the house, so it is not convenient to receive the county magistrate!"

Because there was such a scene in the Household Repayment Department today.

Hu Renbin did not continue to say that he was the son of a wealthy businessman.

It's just that he still didn't reveal his identity, but told the truth about his family's situation.

After all, it was true that his father resigned from office due to injury and closed his house!

When Li Kaixiang heard this, he suddenly became excited.

Good guy, you really have a background.

However, he was also wondering how much content there was in Hu Xianwei's words.

He didn't believe that a child from a family who had resigned from office to recuperate could make officials in the Hubu and other yamen polite.

This clearly shows that Hu Renbin’s background is astounding!
So, after returning to Shangyuan County, Li Kaixiang's attitude towards Hu Renbin was so polite!

It’s really thoughtful and thoughtful, with no airs at all!

Everyone in the county government was stunned!

Li Kaixiang is the county magistrate!
This is the chief official of a county, the kind who is in charge of the life and death of the entire county!
Why are you so polite to the county captain?
