Chapter 53: Loyal minister? Not necessarily?

Any department with overly strict management basically has an unknown back door.

Perhaps the only difference is the size and tightness of the back door. There is absolutely no department that closes the door tightly without leaving any gaps.

For many departments with extremely strict management, their backdoor services are more efficient, but the price you have to pay is also high.

There are only two reasons for strict management of departments: to increase the difficulty of doing things and to increase backdoor income.

If you think about it, you will know how the Cheng family, which is known for its food, can be selfless. The reason why Hou Junji was punished by others is because Hou Junji and Lao Cheng are fundamentally the same.

Political rivals.

Therefore, when the last quarter moon hung in the cold sky, Yun Chu and Zhe Chongfu joined the army and quietly entered the city with 500 camels carrying goods.

Naturally, not all inns could accommodate such a large camel team, so under the leadership of Goatee Hu, they walked into a large inn called "Fu Lai".

The innkeeper is a fat man who speaks Chang'an Mandarin and smiles so hard that his teeth are missing.

The cost for such a large camel team to stay here for one night is five hundred gold and fifty gold.

Yun Chu naturally took a dirty cauldron off the camel's back and paid the bill.

The shopkeeper took the pot with a smile, weighed it, and asked the waiter to move it to the back house with satisfaction, then said to Yun Chu: "It's a good thing you didn't take this pot through the gate, otherwise, you would have been confiscated.

Two years ago, there was a bastard who smeared some messy stuff on a golden ax in order to pass.

As a result, the men below noticed it, tsk tsk, that whip made a good man urinate."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "That's because they don't understand the rules."

Goatee sneered on the side: "There are many people who know the rules, and not everyone who knows the rules can come in casually.

If you hadn’t fought to the death under Marshal Liang, and you had sacrificed your lives to serve Marshal Liang, do you think you could come in just by eating my steamer cake?”

Yun Chu and Zhe Chong Mansion joined forces and looked at each other. Joining forces immediately took Goatee's hand enthusiastically and they talked happily.

There was no other way, so Yunchu had no choice but to let go of Naha's little hand, hold the fat shopkeeper's fat hand and chat happily.

Yun Chu, who was joining the army, didn't know what was going on. Anyway, after he shook hands with the fat shopkeeper, a bag of gold sand weighing half a kilogram disappeared.

After sending away the two money-hungry ghosts, he joined the army and cupped his hands to Yun Chugong and said, "My brother, you really should be the one to join the army."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It may be possible to become a seventh-grade official in ten years. Now, even if I stand on stilts, I can't stand up."

Joining the Army shook his head and said: "Maybe, there was only one person like you in the Tang Dynasty back then.

In his early years, he entered the official position by recommendation, and successively served as a provincial official, a supervisor, and a censor.

When His Majesty became the Crown Prince of the East Palace, he resolutely gave up his high position as the Prince of Zhongshu and moved to the Crown Prince.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, he was appointed Minister of Public Affairs, and it was a matter of course that he would be granted the title of Duke or Marquis by me in the future.

Your future prospects are also limitless."

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said, "I wonder who this senior's surname is?"

Joining the Army sighed and said: "Li Yifu, I'm nicknamed Human Cat!"

Of course Yunchu knew who this Li Yifu was. According to historical records, this person was a typical master who went wild when he got his way.

Perhaps he was too tired of playing the role of a good guy in his early years, but he became more and more rampant in the later years. In the end, he was demoted and exiled, and died of sorrow and anger.

Yunchu decided not to imitate him, and decided to spend his whole life playing his current role well. If he didn't change his character in the middle, he couldn't end up like that human cat.

The conditions in the inn were as bad as Yunchu expected, but what they were selling was not the inn's services, but something else.

Yun Chu carried Naha, who was fast asleep, into the guest room, took a look, and immediately turned around and came out.

The waiter just pushed the door open. He didn't have time to light the lamp and hid it on the wall. The bed bugs on the roof crawled down the wall.

He would rather take Naha to sleep with the camel tonight than spend the night in that dirty, smelly bunk bed.

At dawn, Yunchu took Naha to the Yumenguan city gate to change places, while waiting for Ding Dayou, Old Monkey and the others to enter the city.

When changing places, a clerk with triangular eyes was very annoying and always questioned Naha's identity.

"Is she really your sister, not Hu Ji?"

Yun Chu patiently nodded again and said, "This is my own sister."

The clerk rolled his eyes and looked at Naha and said, "Yun Na? Not Hu Ji? How did your parents give birth to such a thing?"

Yun Chu took a long breath, and then punched the young official in the eye. Yun Chu almost used all his strength to punch the young official, and the young official fell to the ground before he could scream.

Yun Chu felt annoyed, so he kicked the table where pens, inks, paper and inkstones were placed, picked up a table leg, and beat it shamelessly.

Because Yun Chu wanted to meet Ding Dayou today, he was wearing a leather armor that clearly showed his official status. He really couldn't figure out why this wolf must make things difficult for him.

So, Naha and Naha each used a table leg and beat the clerk like a drum until he screamed in agony.

When the soldiers at Yumen Pass discovered that someone was beating one of their own, they rushed over and started to help regardless of Yunchu's status as an official.

The soldiers guarding the gate were not strong soldiers to begin with, and they did not dare to use their weapons. The soldiers there could withstand the beatings of a furious tiger like Yun Chu.

Within a short time, Yun Chu beat him with a table leg and his head was bruised and bleeding, and he fell to the ground.

When Yunchu saw that no one dared to come up, he threw away the table leg in his hand, picked up the clerk who had been beaten like mud, put some blood on his face with his hands, and casually touched Naha's

After passing the hook, he picked up the seal from the ground, used the seal on it, and finally kicked the clerk in the face, leaving him basically toothless to eat. Only then did he feel that his anger had dissipated a little.

Just when Yunchu was dragging Naha away and preparing to leave, a middle-aged man riding a horse blocked their way.

"Even if the little official has a bad mouth, is it too much for you to seize the title and seal like this?"

Yun Chu took a look at the bright armor on the middle-aged man's body, took out a bag of gold sand from his arms and threw it on the clerk's bloody face. He said to the man on horseback: "I think you might be more likely to take action when encountering such a thing.

I want more weight."

The middle-aged man curled his lips noncommittally and stretched out his hand towards Yunchu: "Let me see what happened to you."

Yun Chu did not refuse, and handed over his paperwork with both hands.

The middle-aged man looked at Yunchu's past and sighed: "Are you the last Tang Dynasty person left in the Battle of Qiuci?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Don't believe what I said. There were still thirty-seven wounded soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at that time."

The middle-aged man was about to speak when he heard Ding Dayou's rough voice coming from behind Yunchu.

"Cheng Chumo, your Zhechong Duwei Mansion in Xinnan Prefecture in Guizhou has all the troops and horses. Our Zhechong Duwei Mansion in Shangzhou has less than half of its troops left after fighting with the Turks. You can pull out your men and let us compete."

Cheng Chumo looked at Ding Dayou, who was also riding on the horse, and said, "The temper of your subordinates is too bad. If you disagree, you will beat the guards. I can't say anything."

Ding Dayou looked at the wailing soldiers all over the ground, pointed at Cheng Chumo with his thick index finger and said: "A group of people were beaten like this by a young man. If they were my subordinates, I would kill them myself without anyone else beating them."

Beaten to death."

Cheng Chumo looked at Yun Chu who was looking at him with a smile, smiled for some reason, and returned Yun Chu's fault to him.

Chao Ding Dayou cupped his hands and said: "Okay, let's let this matter go for now. Brother Huaide, we have high mountains and long rivers. There will always be a day to meet each other in the future. Next time, on another occasion, we will discuss what is short and what is long.

."

Ding Dayou sneered: "A certain **** is one and a half feet long. If you don't believe it, you can verify it now."

Cheng Chumo laughed dryly, pointed helplessly at Ding Dayou, and walked away surrounded by his subordinates. As for the soldiers injured by Yun Chu, others would naturally take care of them.

When Ding Dayou saw Cheng Chumo leaving, he frowned and asked Yun Chu: "Why did you beat someone like this in broad daylight?"

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said: "The person who was beaten was sent by others to be beaten. I just acted according to their wishes."

Ding Dayou smacked his lips and seemed to understand the truth, and cursed angrily: "This idiot seems to be getting more and more meticulous in doing things. If you meet him again in the future, you must be on guard. I ask you again, are you really not?"

Are you ready to join our army as a soldier? Even if you can't do it now, I will reserve this position for you."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I have read too little, I need to read more and listen more."

Ding Dayou looked into Yun Chu's eyes and said, "Don't be too ambitious. The last time I saw a person like you, he didn't live past thirty and died miserably."

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I strive to live to old age and die, instead of dying for any other reason."

Ding Dayou smiled and said: "That's right, although the world is not very good, one more day of living is still a day of gain.

Let's go, it's time for me to share the spoils. I really want to see how much benefit this trip can bring to my brothers, and whether it will be enough to last a lifetime."

Yun Chu laughed and said: "If all these goods were sold in Chang'an, even if they were not enough to feed every soldier for a lifetime, it would still be almost the same.

However, the captain must make good friends with the municipal officials in the east and west cities of Chang'an so that the goods are always sold at a high price, otherwise, so many valuable goods entering the east and west cities will cause a lot of trouble."

Ding Dayou chuckled and said: "We have the Buddha's footprint jade. With this thing, we can see the beauty of heaven. When the time comes, we will tell His Majesty our troubles, and His Majesty will naturally help us solve it."

When Yun Chu heard what Ding Dayou said, he took a breath and said: "Our goods were all stolen, the Buddha's footprints were stolen, and all the goods entering the customs are illegal. You actually want to take these

Do you want to tell His Majesty everything?"

Ding Dayou said nonchalantly: "I only know that it is a big mistake, and it is not as big as the mistake of deceiving Your Majesty.

I am just a stupid warrior, and it is inevitable that I will make mistakes. As long as I do not deceive Your Majesty and only think about Your Majesty, Your Majesty will always forgive me for the mistakes I make.

Besides, do you think His Majesty really doesn’t know what we have done? Do you think if I don’t tell anyone, no one will tell me?

Yun Chu, deceiving Your Majesty is the biggest mistake we officials can make."
