ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 500 "A clean official is not necessarily a good one"

The dawn was shining, and all those who got a good rest were full of energy and woke up from the nightmare refreshed.

Ah Zhen wanted to follow this group of turtle people desperately, feeling anxious and helpless.Meeting Xiang Shaoyun in a daze last night, he was finally able to throw the torn brocade jacket he was wearing to him.

Xiang Shaoyun, who had been eating greasy jerky early in the morning, suddenly had a cold wind blowing behind him.When he turned around dully, he saw Ah Zhen's cunning eyes.Such a calculated smile made Xiang Shaoyun's heart skip a beat, and he asked cautiously: "Brother Zhen, what's the matter?"

Ah Zhen, who was smiling and kind, walked up to him and asked with concern: "Shaoyun, Richu's belly is so big, I really want to go back to Wangting to see it."

"Of course." Xiang Shaoyun withdrew the meat in his hand without thinking, thinking of his first child, he was extremely concerned.

"Yeah." Ah Zhen, who nodded for granted, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's enough to come out and experience it, let's take someone back to the court."

"Can I go back?"

"Of course, I asked you to come out to let you understand what life is. Now that you understand it, that's fine." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked intentionally, "Don't you still want to go to the mountains to impress the bandits?"

"Only a ghost would think." He was happier than anyone else to be able to return to the court. How could those bandits be wiped out? If one group is suppressed today, another group will appear tomorrow.It should be handled by officials from all over the country. He doesn't want to be exhausted.

Looking at his expression with a smile, Ah Zhen patted his shoulder with joy, and said earnestly: "These three teams will be handed over to you in the future, you must be cautious."

"Leave it to me?" Xiang Shaoyun suddenly felt that the burden was heavy.

"Yes." Ah Zhen said, crossing his chest, "When I return to the court, I will get you a seal."

Puzzled Xiang Shaoyun heard his words, frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you going back to the court now?"

"I want to go back to my in-laws' house in Dali with Benny, and have a glass of wedding wine." Becky and Duan stage were all brought about by him, and this glass of wedding wine really has to be drunk.

Xiang Shaoyun felt cheated, but he couldn't think of any conspiracy. He stared blankly at him, thinking hard but couldn't think of anything wrong.

After the confession, Ah Zhen said to Jin Caiye who was on the side: "Caiye, you and Xiang Shaoyun go back to the court together." He gestured to the three old men who had gotten on their horses and confessed: "After receiving the betrothal gift, we will hold a few banquets Invite them to eat and drink, and don't let people say that I am stingy."

Jin Caiye felt something was wrong, and softly persuaded: "Master, I will go with you."

"You can rest assured that you have Nengwu. Let alone going to my old father-in-law's house." Patting him on the shoulder, he said with a smile, "Besides, you have to accept the dowry personally."

Jin Caiye blushed slightly after hearing these words.

Seeing his appearance, Ah Zhen was overjoyed and teased Shaoyun to the side: "Shaoyun, look at Caiye, how does he look like a girl."

"Hahaha" Xiang Shaoyun laughed heartily, shook his head and replied, "Brother Zhen, you have a thick skin, but don't take other people's shame as yours."

He stopped with his big palm and tightened his neck, "I'm going to go, you kid actually teased me."

Xiang Shaoyun, who was almost strangled to death, broke free from his sharp claws, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Zhen, Feng Yang is the bride price, what do you plan to order to bring Yang Yang back?"

"For a dowry of more than 300 million taels, there must be something of comparable value to order someone." Said seriously: "Otherwise that kid Feng Yang will say that I am stingy."

"Is there anything worth 300 million taels?" Difficult.

"Hey hey hey" Ah Zhen, who already had a plan in mind, smiled slyly, "Wan'er's tiger finger."

"Feng Yang gave your tiger a finger?"

"That's right." Shaking his head and sighing, he said with a smile, "I haven't been able to find an excuse to return him. I took advantage of the wind and hired him. This time, I will return it to him in a legitimate way."

Xiang Shaoyun, who knew the tiger finger, nodded vigorously, "Using the tiger finger to order Yang Yang, Feng Yang will never say you are stingy." The finger ring is not only 300 million taels, but 3000 million taels.

Jin Caiye, with an old face, was happy in his heart, but he felt that he was not worthy of Yang Yang, so he said embarrassedly, "Master, Caiye is not worthy."

"There's nothing worthy or unworthy." Turning around, he asked Jin Caiye solemnly, "Caiye, tell me, do you like Yang Yang?"

"This"

"Don't do this or this. If you don't want to marry Yang Yang even if you are beaten to death, then I don't want you either."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Shaoyun interrupted urgently: "Brother Zhen, it's already this time, why ask him?" He's just a house slave, the boss has the final say, how can a house slave have the right to be the master.

Ah Zhen knew what Xiang Shaoyun wanted to say, shook his head and said: "The right family is shit to me, and it is only natural to fall in love and become a married couple. A twisted melon will not be sweet. If Caiye doesn't want to, force him In the end, it was Yang Yang who suffered."

Although everyone can't understand his advanced thinking, it is inconvenient to make a sound.The house slave is his, who can control what he wants to do.

Jin Caiye was deeply bound by ethics, and he couldn't help being moved when he heard this speech. His heart was extremely contradictory. He liked Yang Yang, but how could he deserve her.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ah Zhen asked very cautiously: "Don't think about whether Caiye is worthy or not, tell me frankly, do you like Yang Yang?"

Jin Caiye sighed deeply, and said implicitly: "Miss Liu is considerate, considerate and considerate, and being able to marry her is a blessing for three generations."

"Since you like each other, the difficulties are no longer difficulties." He said forcefully: "When I return to the court, I will arrange your official position. If you feel that you are not worthy of Yang Yang, then you will work for the welfare of the people tremblingly. Don't feel ashamed, even if you become a beggar, Yang Yang will help you chase the dog with a bamboo pole."

"Yes."

"Yeah." He patted his shoulder lightly, looked at the young and handsome boy in front of him, and said with a straight face: "Promise me, you will never disappoint Yang Yang's sincerity, and you will love her, pity her, love her, and protect her for the rest of your life." .”

"Caiye swears." Jin Caiye raised his palm to the sky.

Pulling down his hand, he said with a smile, "I will swear it off. I believe in you."

"Master Xie." Jin Caiye was so moved beyond words, what virtue and ability he has.

After finishing the order, Ah Zhen inspected the crowd and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone has been waiting for a long time, let's go."

"Brother Zhen, take care." Xiang Shaoyun cupped his fists.

"Go, go." He waved his hand, took Benny's little hand, and walked towards the horse.

Ah Zhen, who got on the horse, hugged Benny in his arms, and lightly pecked his dimple a few times.

The very itchy Benny waved away the pervert, and asked sweetly, "Mr., let's go back and drink Becky's wedding wine."

"No." Laughing for a while, through the clothes, he rubbed his hands lightly on her body, and exhaled into her ear: "The most important thing now is to enter the city, then open the room, and ravage your little ass. "

The stunned Benny didn't expect him to be so lewd, she raised her small face to meet his eyes, her two dimples were sunken, "Has Mr. Lang been thinking about this all day long?"

"Dear cutie, I'm about to die of suffocation." Ah Zhen's face was mournful.

Seeing his anxious expression, Benny giggled happily, "Mr., what are you waiting for?"

"Drive." Hearing this, Ah Zhen felt as if he had eaten the king of Viagra, how could he stand it.Immediately put into fifth gear, stepped on the [-] gasoline, and rushed towards the Kunming city as fast as the Flash.

It is said that Kunming is like spring all the year round, with clusters of flowers and fragrance at every step.

But when Ah Zhen rushed into the city, his handsome eyebrows were raised high, and he watched the flow of people coming and going in disbelief.

"Lang Jun, what's going on?" Benny was puzzled, the excitement was lively, but how could there be so many beggars huddled in the streets.

Ah Zhen was also full of doubts. He fell off the horse and hugged Benny, looking at the people who came to welcome him. None of the clothes on these people were intact. The best ones had three or four patches, and the worst ones were wearing heavily patched clothes. Pu shirts in summer, not to mention that winter has not yet arrived, just shivering in the streets and alleys in autumn alone.

"It's a big harvest this year, and there are no disasters. According to the report, it shouldn't be." Looking at the ruins of the city, the suspicious two led the horses and walked along the busy street.

Ah Zhen loves to eat pears, this is something that everyone in the world knows.But when he stood in front of a pear shop, his handsome face suddenly wrinkled together.

"Boss, can you eat this pear?" The pear under your finger can no longer be called a pear, if you have to call it, it should be called dried pear.But can dried pears be eaten?
The stall owner had many patches on his body, so he replied naturally, "Of course it's a pear." He picked up one with his dirty hand and said, "It's cheap."

Is it a question of cheapness?If you buy it, you can't eat it, and it's cheap. There's a fart.

Benny, who turned her head to look around, was very suspicious, and whispered to Ah Zhen who was tongue-tied: "Mr. Sir, this city is too strange. The shops are closed at noon."

He turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, as Benny said, although there were a lot of people in the city, the doors of the shops were closed, and the few shops that were not closed were empty.

"This" didn't understand what happened in Kunming, Ah Zhen asked Bei Ni carefully: "Ni'er, has there been any disaster recently?"

"No." Benny has been helping Yingying with government affairs, and she knows everything about the country, and she said in confusion, "This year, I have a big harvest in Tubo, and the chief minister of Kunming City reported that Kunming's grain tax is higher than other states. The mansion is nearly twice that of the mansion." When it comes to this point, I am very confused, "If calculated according to this, Kunming should be prosperous and prosperous, how can there be such a dilapidated scene?"

Hearing the tax reported by Sikong Nalan, Ah Zhen frowned deeply. "Ni'er, what kind of person is this Sikong Nalan?"

"This Sikong Nalan was originally a member of the Sipin Pavilion. When he was an official, he was trembling and unscrupulous. After Yingying assessed him, he was put in Kunming as the capital." At this point, Bei Ni shook her head and said, "He is a diligent and clean man. Good officer."

"Hmph." The stern-faced Ah Zhen snorted heavily, "Either an official who is not greedy or not taken is a good official. According to what Nier said, he is just a clean official."

Hearing Mr. Lang humming heavily, Bei Ni sweated for Sikong Nalan, "What do you mean by Mr. Lang's words?"

The big hand compared to the patched crowd in the street, "A good official will not let his people live in such a poor way, but will try his best to improve the environment of the people." Pointing to the not far away The poor on the street said: "Look at them, they are all yellow and thin, worse than beggars. Don't say that winter is coming, I'm afraid they will starve to death and cold to death before autumn."

Looking through his fingers, Benny felt really sorry for this group of people, but even Yingying praised Sikong Nalan's diligent achievements, but
"Lang Jun, these people may also come from other cities." He was extremely unwilling to believe that Sikong Nalan was a corrupt official.

"From another city?" Ah Zhen shook his head and snorted disdainfully: "Is it Shicheng County? Or Xiushan County? Is it Shanchan Mansion? Or Weichu Mansion? Ni'er is talking about it."

Bernie was speechless and shook her head silently.

"When you came out of the court, didn't anyone pick this Sikong Nalan, or heard anything about Kunming?"

"No."

"Okay." Bu Xun asked with a smile: "In addition to Kunming reporting a bumper harvest this year, aren't the neighboring counties also bumper?"

"The income of Kunming and Xiushan counties is higher than that of other counties."

"How tall?"

"Xiushan is more than double, and Kunming is nearly twice."

After the words fell, Ah Zhen's face suddenly darkened, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "What the hell is this Yingying doing? It's so fake that I can't tell."

Suddenly hearing his reprimand, Bei Ni was very puzzled and said, "Is there any problem between Kunming and Xiushan?"

"It's a big problem." He just introduced planting in Tubo last year, even though he has fully mastered the technology, why did the three neighboring prefectures, Nongdong, Weichu, and Shicheng, lose to Kunming and Xiushan?Even if the people of Kunming and Xiushan work tirelessly day and night, there is only one autumn in a year, so there is such a big harvest.

Hearing that there is a problem with the two city mansions, Bei Ni said in disbelief: "Mr. I'm afraid I'm wrong this time. Both of them are from Yingying's royal pen, and their net worth is clean." At this point, Bei Ni hesitated, "Ten A few days ago, the court of Yingying praised the two of them very much and praised them lavishly. No."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Zhen stopped him and said, "Ni'er, don't be blinded by that piece of paper. Who told you that honest officials can't do harm?"

Benny who stopped abruptly heard his words, and asked in a daze: "Can an upright official cause trouble?" Isn't this all messed up?
"Sitting high on that golden chair, all you see are the memorials that you can't speak, and all you listen to are the lies of Sheng Shichanglong. Since you are here, you should take a good look with your own eyes. Corrupt officials are hateful, but sometimes honest officials It's more tooth-gnashing than a corrupt official." He took her hand and walked away from the pear stand and said, "Since you're here, take a good look. Don't be blinded by preconceived thoughts."

"Yeah." Now that it's out, you have to look at the good-looking ones, and you have to look at the ugly ones.Benny let him hold her little hand, and squeezed in to this group of unkempt, sallow and emaciated people.How do upright officials do evil?
Walking in the bustling streets, the down-and-out people all cast curious eyes on them. What they looked at was not their faces, but the high-end luxury on their bodies, and the gold and silver ornaments hanging on their waists.

After turning around, Ah Zhen understood the general situation, and approached an old man with a child who was huddled in the corner.

"Grandpa, do you have any difficulties?"

The old man, who didn't know how to live, hugged his only granddaughter, leaned against the corner of the city with his eyes blank, and suddenly heard someone asking.Slowly raised his desolate old eyes.
