Before you become a boss, you must fully respect the existing bosses. If you are lucky enough to become a boss, then you must respect the bigger bosses!

This is a wise saying in the officialdom. When Mao Wenlong told it to Li Xiao, Li Xiao listened very seriously. In terms of political experience, eight Li Xiao could not catch up with one Mao Wenlong. At his age, he really has not lived as long as a dog.

On the body.

Among other things, I had an uncle who was the chief envoy. There was also a father who, although he died young, had a wide circle of friends.

After hearing what Mao Wenlong said to Li Xiao, he found out that Mao Wenlong's father actually had a relationship with Zhao Nanxing. It is said that they still had a good relationship, but his father died early. Zhao Nanxing was promoted step by step, and the two families lost contact.

If you have connections, you should use them. Mao Wenlong should pay a visit to Uncle Zhao, both emotionally and logically.

Li Xiao also felt that it should be influenced by the history books of later generations. Li Xiao admired the people of the Donglin Party in his heart, and almost all the history books had it written in black and white. The Donglin Party was good, and the kind that bubbled up.

Wei Zhongxian is bad, so bad that he bubbles over.

I don’t know if the Donglin Party is good or not, but Li Xiao instinctively felt that Wei Zhongxian was bad. Because in his inherent thinking, eunuchs, a group of people with dark psychology and extreme corruption, have a chance of becoming a good person as much as winning the first prize of the Double Color Ball.

After preparing enough gifts, Mao Wenlong took Li Xiao to pay a visit to the Minister of Etiquette. The name card was written quite modestly, and Mao Wenlong, a junior from the school, immediately bowed his head.

Arriving at Zhao Nanxing's Shangshu Mansion in the capital, Li Xiao was a little shocked and couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Zhao Nanxing's Shangshu Mansion occupies almost a quarter of Dongdan Street. The gate is more than three feet high, and the eaves and brackets are spectacular. It looks like a small city tower. During the Hongwu period, the hierarchy of residences was strict, and officials built

Houses are not allowed to have resting roofs or roofs with double eaves, nor are they allowed to use heavy arches or caissons.

This means that except for members of the royal family, no matter how high your official position is, your residence cannot use the top of the mountain, but can only use the "two buildings" (hanging mountain, hard mountain). In addition, the residences of princes and officials are divided into four

Levels are strictly restricted in terms of the number, depth, and paint colors of gates and halls. As for common people's houses, they are not allowed to exceed three rooms, and brackets and colorful buildings are not allowed.

But Zhao Nanxing's mansion didn't care about this. The screen wall at the door alone was three feet tall. This made Li Xiao's desire to see inside instantly dashed. It was too damn tall. Things inside the mansion were obscured.

It has to be a perfect fit, it's not like Monkey Sun. If you want to see what's going on inside, don't even think about it.

Li Xiao didn't speak. Could it be that he had too many thoughts about Zhu Chongba's death? No one cares about his words now?

"How much money does this cost!" Li Xiao muttered in shock.

This is Dongdan Street, a standard prime location. In later generations, people who didn't have tens of billions would not dare to ask the price.

"Silly boy, this mansion is free of charge. The Ming Dynasty has regulations and officials are not allowed to purchase land in the place where they work. Once discovered, the land will be confiscated. People must also be dismissed from their posts and go home to take care of their children! This mansion was designated by the imperial court for Mr. Zhao to live in.

." When Mao Wenlong saw Li Xiao's appearance, he was afraid that Li Xiao would make a fool of himself and hurriedly explained to him.

My dear, there is such a house on Dongdan Street. If this were in later generations, it would be enough for our ancestors to live on for three lifetimes. The Ming Dynasty was really worthy of these courtiers. But thinking about it, once they step down, these mansions need to be vacated.

It is for the new officials to live. Only then did Li Xiao feel balanced. He only had the right to use but no property rights. How can you be so good at a house with small property rights!

"May I ask who this gentleman is...!" Seeing Mao Wenlong wearing a second-grade military attaché uniform, a porter came over and bowed deeply to Mao Wenlong. The servants in the scholar's house are different, they speak well and politely. People also

Dress cleanly and look smart.

"My lord is General Mao of Liaodong. This is my lord's name card. I want to ask to see Mr. Zhao, the Minister!" Li Xiao saw the concierge in green clothes and immediately asked Li Hu to take out the name card and hand it over with both hands, fearing that he was missing some etiquette.

"Master Mao?" After seeing Li Hu hand over the name card, the concierge's face immediately dropped without any indication. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and it became faster than flipping through a book.

Li Xiao was a little dazed. Has this guy ever learned to change his face? He spoke very politely. What was this for?

"My Lord Shangshu is busy with official duties and has no visitors for the time being. Lord General, please come back." The concierge casually threw back the name card handed over by Li Hu!

"My lord is the son of Lord Shangshu's old friend. Please inform me." Li Xiao held Li Hu's shoulders and said politely to the concierge. Li Hu had a bad temper and had already gone up to give this bastard a beating.

"As I said, my Lord Shangshu is busy with official duties. He's gone!" the concierge said, reaching out and pushing Li Xiao away. His attitude seemed to be chasing a mangy dog!

"What a fool! How dare you touch my brother?" Seeing that the concierge dared to push Li Xiao, Li Hu knocked off the concierge's claws with a slap.

"Hey! Boy, you don't ask for the place when you are making trouble. What kind of place is this? This is the residence of Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Rites. You must be tired of making trouble here." The concierge's hand was beaten so hard by Li Hu,

He has never suffered such a loss.

The concierge at Zhao Nanxing's house, let alone a general soldier. Even if an official like a governor comes, he has to hand over a name card and money before he can report it. This bullshit general soldier from Liaodong doesn't follow any rules.

.I asked you to report it when you came up. You didn’t even receive a red envelope. Who the hell would you report it to?

A little bastard with no hair on his head actually dares to do something to himself.

The concierge also had a few blows with his hands, and while he was talking, he kicked towards Li Hu's belly.

"Fuck, do it!" Li Hu saw that the concierge dared to take action, and without saying a word, he hit the concierge in the face with a punch. His reaction was so fast, it seemed that his practice with Man Gui and Ao Canghai during this period was not in vain.

Seeing Li Hu's old fist growing in size from small to large in his eyes, the concierge felt his head buzzing. Then there were stars in front of his eyes, and everything he looked at was a double shadow.

"Here comes someone! Someone is causing trouble and killing people!" the concierge shouted like a pig being killed.

Seven or eight guys armed with sticks rushed out of Shangshu's Mansion. One of them smashed the stick in his hand at Li Hu without saying a word.

The guy saw that he was a Lianjiazi, and his stick was like lightning. The stick hit Li Hu's Tianling Cap, and Li Hu's head had to be smashed when the stick hit him.

"Bang!" It was too late to speak at this time. Li Xiao took out his revolver and shot the man in the hat.

The bullet penetrated the hat with scalding heat and scattered the bun inside. The servant was so frightened that he dropped his stick and held his head in his hands. A stream of blood flowed down between his fingers.

Fortunately, the accuracy was not lost. Li Xiao was very afraid that the bullet just hit someone's forehead. Injuring a person was not a big deal. But it was different if he killed someone. Li Xiao had just arrived in the capital.

I don't want to cause trouble yet.

"Okay! If you come to Shangshu's Mansion to cause trouble, please go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion and call for soldiers to arrest them. Kill them!" the concierge covered his eyes and roared.

"If you howl again, I will lift off your heavenly spirit cover." Li Xiao said fiercely to the concierge. Now he also understood that in those movies and TV series, when you enter the door, you have to give the concierge a red envelope.

I originally thought that the Donglin Party was all upright officials and the concierge would not pay attention to this. Unexpectedly, the old man in the mailroom was so corrupt these days.

Although he didn't understand what the magic code thing in Li Xiao's hand was, the concierge knew that this thing that was still smoking was very deadly. Just now, a groove was opened on the head of the gun and stick instructor in the house, and he was still bleeding.

.

"You...! You...! You...! This is the residence of the Minister of Rites. If you dare to cause trouble, the officers of Shuntian Mansion will arrest you." The queen spoke bravely, but her footsteps could not help but move behind her.

The big men with sticks also retreated one after another.

Li Xiao was extremely depressed. He originally wanted to build a relationship and take more care of him in the future. After all, now that the Donglin Party is in charge, it is very important to have a good relationship with the Donglin Party bosses. But he did not expect that he would encounter such a situation in a concierge.

matter.

"Boy, this thing has gone viral. You caused trouble at the door of the Minister of Rites and hurt someone. It's not easy to deal with the aftermath!" Mao Wenlong stood behind Li Xiao at some point and sighed helplessly as he watched the servants pouring out of the mansion.

.I hope that bringing out my uncle and my dead father can resolve this matter.

"My subordinate, Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Mao Wenlong, is the son of Mr. Zhao's old friend. I came here to pay a special visit today, and I don't know who can express my gratitude. Mao thanked him!" Mao Wenlong winked at Li Xiao, and Ai Husheng on the side quickly took out the money.

But who dared to ask for Mao Wenlong's money at this time? Everyone saw the money in Ai Husheng's hand and backed away as if they were avoiding the plague!

"Hmph! It's too late now that we know how powerful our master is! My master's disciples and old officials are all over the court. You think someone will impeach you tomorrow and make it impossible for you to be an official." The concierge hid behind the gate and shouted.

"...!"

This time Mao Wenlong had no choice but to use the Thirty-six Strategies. Soon, the Shuntian Prefecture's officers would come and things would become even more troublesome.

"You are so bold to make trouble at the door of Shangshu Mansion. Who are you and who ordered you to do so?" Just as he was about to discuss it with Li Xiao, he returned to the post house and tried to find a way to make things right. Suddenly, a voice came from behind!

At some point, two sedans stopped behind them. A middle-aged man wearing a fifth-grade court dress was getting out of the sedan.

"May I ask who this gentleman is...?"

"My lord, I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Zuo, the Censor of Zuo Qiandu!"

Zuo Guangdou?

"Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, comes to see Mr. Zuo." When he heard that it was the censor of Zuo Qiandu, Mao Wenlong immediately went over to salute him. This official was in charge of the officials, and among the people in the capital who could not afford to offend, he was definitely among the best.

"Mao Wenlong, I have heard of this man. All the troops in Liaodong were running wild, but Mao Wenlong was the only one who defended the isolated island and repeatedly defeated the Tatars. General Mao, my officer, Yang Lian, is polite." Another sweetheart came down from the stairs.

The man actually bowed deeply to Mao Wenlong.

"I don't dare to be a lower-ranking official!" Mao Wenlong quickly returned the greeting.

Yang Lian?

This guy just laughs, laughs, and laughs, slashing the east wind with his sword, what does that do to me?

Yang Lian?

"Your Majesty, Li Xiao, see you two adults." Li Xiao was still full of respect for these two idol-like figures.
