If you have a debt, you are not afraid of calculating. Since these two imperial envoys are here to settle the accounts, let’s do it carefully. Dou Kuan is the right person and you are the deputy envoy. No matter who has received my tribute, you two will be blamed. It is too late to put on the airs of being a clean official at this time.

If you want to blame, you blame Dou Kuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Integrity, for being so unruly, you dare to ask for anything you give me. Is it important to have this kind of person who can escape? To put it bluntly, I have been put into the lobby of the Three Laws. Who would believe you if you share the gold!

Besides, you underestimate me, the governor who has been entrenched in Yongchang for many years. If I don’t get the army together, why would I dare to be so lawless? I glanced at the dozen Xuanjia soldiers standing at the door of the lobby. Han Kui’s mouth slightly raised. He just said that he would not practice fake moves and would not let you know that he was so powerful. You are really putting on airs.

When he thought of this, he smiled coldly and threw the teacup of the case into the ground. A team of soldiers rushed in around the lobby. Some of them were thieves for thousands of days, but not for thousands of days of defense. Of course, Han Kui knew about this. So in order to prevent problems, the governor always guarded the guards of up to 200 people all year round. At critical moments, this can save lives, and Han Kui would not be joking with his own life.

"Your Maid, oh, maybe you are still in the royal family and I'm sorry that you are disrespectful. The things are not in vain. You two must know more than me what the case is going on in the Three Laws. OK, let's not talk about how you two explain the money and the way women come from, I'll tell you the two of you today about my way of being an official, hoping to make the two of you better." After saying to Li Chengqian, Han Kui took out a few things that seemed to be an account book from the mezzanine on the wall.

Pointing at these things, he said with a smile: "I'm going to hide it from you. Since you entered the officialdom in the third year of Wude, the officials have developed the habit of keeping accounts. There is no way. Just like this, Dou Shangshu, who is a false and impolite, they are all the superiors. If the officials don't give you all happy, a black hat is a trivial matter. Even if the money and food that should be given, they will definitely not be brought to you."

Oh, "According to what you say, you are corrupt and abused by the people or not. Should Yanji and I submit a memorial to the court for you? After all, you don't want to be honest with the people. It's good that a minister can do this."

Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Han Kui was walking while waving his hand, and then said, "Xiaoguan has a big mouth and a small belly in his life. He has made a lot of good things, but he doesn't swallow much. To give an analogy, Yuying has seen it. Xiaguan's life is the same as them. The things I have caught are not filial to some high-ranking officials in Jiannan Road and Beijing, or to those subordinates below."

Han Kui said this. He would not have bribed Dou Kuan so recklessly, but the court sent two groups of people to Yongchang, which was too tight. The old men in the capital who accepted his filial piety were not able to start because the officials in the case came from the East Palace, so he had to focus on Dou Kuan. But who would have thought that Dou Kuan, the master, was playing tricks with him, and the immortal jumped and flashed his mouth.

"What can they give to those officials who are not fed and are high again? If I, Han Kui, really encounter any difficulties, they will run faster than rabbits. Who can shelter me from the wind and rain? Do you two know why those officials did not help cover up this time? Because they know that my disaster has come, and it is time to pull the officials off.

However, because it alarmed His Majesty and the Crown Prince, they didn't want to pull me anymore. They hid, and kept hiding until I was dismissed from office and handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Please look at me, and at that time they promised that they were both important officials and generals, and pulled their necks to the Golden Palace to ask His Majesty to sautify all of us who were filial to our relatives and grandchildren every year.

This is why I am willing to take the risk of bribing Dou Shangshu, because as long as the court has its own people, the situation in Yongchang can be maintained and everyone can have a way out."

Li Chengqian has been involved in the government for so many years. This is the first time he has heard corrupt officials say so clearly. If you don’t need to click on the good news in the officialdom and the bad news, they will be clearly stated. This is the reason for the so-called crimes that are known to be. At the same time, he also has a new understanding of Han Kui’s mind and the skills of being an official. Otherwise, how can corrupt officials be so powerful? If you don’t think about money and use all kinds of means, who can stuff it into your wallet for nothing?

"Governor Han, I have dealt with many corrupt officials. Some of them regretted it when they were about to go back on their word, and those who felt sorry for the people were not as good as those of the moon. Some people cried even worse than those of the children in the moon. Some people did not repent and thought that it was right for him to be greedy. He was not greedy and others were greedy. Anyway, it was just a saying, being an official for thousands of miles was just for money.

Some of them are as timid as mice, and they are reluctant to spend money after greed. They are buried in their own vegetable cellar. They pretend to be poor every day and are still worried. They live a life worse than officials from poor families. Greed and not greedy have no major changes in their lives. The only fun is that they are squatting down with their wife when it gets dark."

"But like you, who are greedy and sober and dare to dismount, are indeed the only ones who have seen them in your life. But what makes me curious is that since you know that these people are of this kind of virtue, why do you still respect them in your daily life? Wouldn't it be better to take your subordinates to be at peace with yourself?"

Haha..., after chuckling twice, Han Kui shook his head: "Your Maid, you are a noble man from heaven. You are destined to be granted a title when you are born, and you will be established as a yamen and a mansion. You don't understand the hardships of the lower-class officials who are struggling in the prefecture.

Although I, Han Kui, was not from a noble family, I was considered a prominent family in Guanzhong. When many playboys were hunting, I was studying the Four Books and Five Classics hard. To be honest, I really envied me when I saw that they lived freely and happily, but I didn’t want to live that much.

My father has been wandering around for the rest of his life because of his ancestors' merits. When he was dying, he told me to study hard and be a person who is beneficial to the country. I have studied and made progress, but when I look back, what's the use? In addition to military achievements and a small number of poor and common people, all the civil and military officials of the court are all officials of aristocratic families. Even if the court's policies have changed a lot over the years, how much can we have a good position after the big waves wash away the sand? No one or no money, this official can't be promoted."

"Since the imperial court pacified Shuzhong, I have been an official here, working diligently, sharing the worries of the court without any silence. Compared with those officials who take money and do not do anything, I am the governor of Yongchang and do not care about the space! But when the official is a big one, I dare not be a clean official like before. I believe that Shangshu Dou should understand this point. It is too difficult to do things for the people. If you squeeze and don't talk about it, you will be constrained everywhere. If you can't let the superiors make money, you will definitely make trouble.

So if you want to be an official for a long time, you have to be with the flow and respect the old men. You have to hear that there are people in the court who are easy to be an official. I am actually a good God of Wealth. All the money is prepared for you. Why not be anxious if you are a colleague! There are too many corrupt officials, and if you want political achievements, I can give you a guide. Why should you stare at such a small place as Yongchang?"

"As long as you agree to the agreement in advance, I will make a decision to add twice the filial piety to you, and then set up a table to drink to apologize to you. Who has a grudge against the golden gold these days? This country is your Majesty's. Whether the government is clear or not has nothing to do with you. It is necessary to let yourself be in an unexpected place, and you have a family and a career, and Xiaoke, the family in Chang'an City, still cares about you." .........
