Su Jin looked at Pan Jiang and said: "Commander Pan, I am afraid that all matters in Yangzhou City cannot escape your eyes. Now that you have said it, I will definitely believe it. According to my observation of you, you are not the kind of person who talks freely; of course,
At the foot of Bagong Mountain, I asked the bandit leader Qiu Dabao to send a secret letter to the camp. It is said that you had a dispute about the secret letter. Later, after the victory, someone mentioned to me what you said that day and advised me to treat you.
Be careful, say you are harboring evil intentions and will not save you until death,"
Pan Jiang stood up in a hurry and said: "Sir, special envoy, how can you be that kind of person in a humble position?"
Su Jin pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "If I believed it, how could I talk to you about this in person? Under the circumstances at that time, you should be cautious. Once you fall into the bandit's conspiracy, you should be careful.
Attacking means destruction, you did the right thing, you should have been more cautious."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, your Majesty." Pan Jiang said with a little hesitation.
"There's no need to thank me, that's how it should be. From this, I get to know you better and know that you are definitely not a brainless person. To tell you the truth, you are ranked first on the list of applicants for merit this time.
Position, my intention is to let a talented person like you rise to the position; looking around, there are so many mediocre people, but talented people have no chance. This time, I want to do my best to recommend him. As for the result, it depends on your destiny.
Already."
Pan Jiang knelt on the ground and said with wet eyes: "Thank you for your support, your Majesty. Your humble position is unforgettable. Your Majesty is noble and upright, and your talents are outstanding. Your humble position means that there is smoke rising from the ancestral graves, so I can follow you on an errand; Bagong Mountain."
The First World War was the happiest thing that I have ever done in my life. I can learn from the sun and the moon about my admiration for you."
Su Jin pulled him up with a smile and said, "What is this? Let's talk in private, no need to kneel down and bow down. You are older than me, isn't this killing me?"
Pan Jiang wiped away his tears and stood up and said: "I have never treated you as a weakling. When we first met in the Japanese military warehouse, I received a slap from you, but later I saw your master's method of rectifying Lucang Si Gou Dasheng."
I have already fallen in love with you."
Su Jin smiled and said: "That slap was just for show, don't bother me."
"How dare you, how dare you, you are so humble and stupid, you can't bear this slap."
Su Jin laughed and said, "But what are you going to tell me?"
Pan Jiang was startled, remembered the business, and said hurriedly: "This matter is extremely unfavorable to you, sir. Do you know the origin of Feng Laohu?"
Su Jin pretended not to know: "I don't know who he is, but he is just a gentry from Yangzhou."
Pan Jiang said: "Sir, you guessed wrong this time. Although Feng Laohu's identity was not known from his humble position before he came to Yangzhou, he arrived in Yangzhou more than ten years ago, and in the past few years he has made a fortune and became one of the top figures in Yangzhou city.
, I have personally experienced the humiliation during this period."
Su Jin said: "Does he have any special tricks?"
Pan Jiang said: "Feng Laohu's real name is Feng Jingyao, and his zodiac sign is tiger. It is said that he was born in Shenshi, and he is a tiger that forages for food in the evening. Therefore, he is cruel and ruthless, so he was nicknamed Feng Laohu."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Isn't it ridiculous to use birthdays as a talking point?"
Pan Jiangdao: "Maybe these are just gimmicks, but if there are such rumors from the outside world, doesn't it mean that this person is quite legendary."
Su Jin nodded and said, "Go on."
"Feng Laohu initially opened a martial arts gym, which also served as a bodyguard business. There were many martial arts studios in Yangzhou, which tended to bully and suppress students, so he challenged more than a dozen martial arts gyms in the bodyguard bureaus. Every time he competed with others, he would write a life and death document.
As many as six bodyguard instructors died in his hands, and eight were injured. After the first battle, he established his authority and almost took over the business of Yangzhou Martial Arts School Bodyguard Bureau. He also used the financial resources of Nancheng Blind Third Master to recruit many disciples, and his power quickly grew.
Expand and gradually grow bigger.”
Su Jin compared his own understanding and realized that what Pan Jiang said was true. It seemed that he really wanted to tell the truth to Su Jin.
"This man is so arrogant, why can't the government do anything?"
"You don't know, the arrogant remarks are just rumors from the outside world. Feng Laohu is very good at disguising himself, being courteous and courteous in dealing with others, and he is also good at winning people's hearts. He often spends money to build bridges and pave roads, and even doubles the government's food taxes.
As far as the Yangzhou magistrate is concerned, this man is not only not a problem, but also a good helper in his political performance, so he is very polite to him."
Su Jin understood the situation. Generally speaking, prefects rotate every three years, and then their performance is evaluated based on the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel, and promotions, rewards and punishments are given. Every prefect hopes to do something big while in office, so that he can do it during the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel.
Give yourself extra points and climb up the ranks; while those with extremely poor evaluations will either be demoted or unemployed, and may never get ahead again.
These things are the same in ancient and modern times. In the later generations of the 21st century, Su Jin has seen a lot of those face-saving projects. They are all face-saving projects done by a leader for the sake of political performance, so that the tea will be cold as soon as people leave, unfinished buildings and unfinished roads.
It’s everywhere, so it’s no surprise.
"What I want to talk about in my humble position is the relationship between Feng Laohu and the government. In this way, as long as the head of the government department, Feng Laohu will do what he likes and open up the joints. Therefore, he can't see anything on ordinary days. Once there is any trouble, Feng Laohu will
He knew it before anyone else, even before some official documents reached the hands of the prefect, Feng Laohu already knew the contents."
Su Jin said with emotion: "So powerful? Doesn't this mean he has become the overlord of Yangzhou City?"
Pan Jiang was startled. How could the Emperor say this? Doesn't it mean that the prefect is the emperor? The envoy really had no scruples in what he said. He hurriedly said: "Feng Laohu is very tricky, so some people don't want to deal with him."
If you cooperate, you will be squeezed out by your colleagues through his efforts, so Feng Laohu's words in Yangzhou City can be said to be more effective than those of the prefect."
Su Jin was silent for a while and then asked tentatively: "Listening to Pan's command, does it mean that there are already a large number of people in the yamen working for Feng Laohu?"
Pan Jiang gritted his teeth and said: "After all, I have to say this about my humble position. I am sorry for my humble position and disrespect. Song Zhifu was very confused and turned a deaf ear to many things. He only knew how to draw and write. Of course, he was an upright official and never
He oppressed the people and was not corrupt. He was too casual in political affairs and did not judge the situation well, so that everyone despised him. Feng Laohu tried to drag the Song magistrate into the water several times, but the Song Magistrate was very hard-boned and never
Just make excuses."
Su Jin said: "Since the prefect is not tempted by him, doesn't it mean that his subordinates will also be clear-headed?"
Pan Jiang sneered and said: "That's good. Under the prefect, I dare say that all officials, big and small, have something to do with Feng Laohu, and the relationship is very close."
Su Jin was surprised and said: "Is this really happening?"
Pan Jiangdao: "If you want me to provide evidence, I don't have it, but there are some things that don't need evidence. The lack of evidence doesn't mean that I'm talking nonsense. Generally speaking, this matter is all official, but if you want to find evidence, you can't."
It is extremely difficult."
Su Jin stood up, took a few steps, and suddenly said: "How did you learn about this?"
Pan Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "You can ask any official about these things. Everyone knows it, but no one is willing to say it out."
Su Jin added: "As far as you know, how many people are colluding with Feng Laohu?"
Pan Jiang shook his head and said: "How do you know? Anyway, I know that I am not. You can't tell who is who except appearance."
Su Jinsurong said: "How can you prove that you are not?"
Pan Jiangdao: "I've already told you about my humble position. I can't prove who it is, and I can't prove that I'm not it. But I act according to my own conscience. Originally, I thought that the suspension yesterday was because Pan Shiyi and I refused Feng Laohu's invitation several times.
As for the consequences, I gave up this idea after the envoy cleared his doubts. However, seeing that the envoy was deeply concerned about the people of Yangzhou, I took the risk to report this to you before you go to Beikou Sanli. I will not accept my humble position.
Will tell."
Su Jin understood that his making such a fuss in Beikou Sanli made Pan Jiang and others believe that he was not having an affair with Feng Laohu, otherwise he would not come and tell him this if he were beaten to death; as he said, it was not clear who was who.
, he couldn't prove his innocence, how could he prove that he had no connection with Feng Laohu? And such a commotion in Beikou Sanli Hutong just proved that he and Feng Laohu had no connection, so he dared to say this to himself
.
"Since Feng Laohu has done this a long time ago, why didn't you report him secretly?" Su Jin asked.
"There is no evidence, sir. It's not like no one has told it. Otherwise, where do you think this rumor comes from? But what if it is said? How does he win over and control, and what is his purpose? These are all ignorant, how can he be punished? Someone else
Maintenance, the superiors ordered to find out, but after repeated investigations, it was people who were collaborating with Feng Laohu to investigate Feng Laohu. What could be found? Who would take the risk to secretly report it over time? "
Su Jin sighed, sat on the chair, bowed his head and said nothing. Everything Pan Jiang said was true. If things were exposed so easily, Feng Laohu wouldn't be called Feng Laohu anymore. It seems that the confessions of those officials are the ironclad evidence.
