Magistrate Xu pushed the ginseng tea with the lid of the bowl and took another sip. He couldn't help but smile. His grandson was really willing to cooperate. As an imperial envoy, he would be able to suppress Zhang Dai.
This is not a matter of having a bad temper. There are many people with a temper, but with your position and power, you can make all those with a temper obedient or completely silent.
But the question arises, why does Taisun cooperate with the actions of himself and others?
Taisun has not yet come to an end and is very vigilant. In this case, it is difficult for Zhang Dai to pull him into the trap. Taisun can just sit back and ignore it.
The person sitting in the second chair from the left asked: "What should I do if my grandson doesn't cooperate?"
The old man twitched the corners of his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be twisted together, making the expression on his face obscure and difficult to understand.
He stared at the man and said slowly: "To put it bluntly in this world, the truth is status and reality."
"And the name is still at the front."
"Taishun is the principal imperial envoy, and Zhang Dai is the deputy imperial envoy. This determines the status and responsibilities."
"All the credit for Zhang Dai's work will naturally go to the grandson, but all the responsibility will also go to the grandson."
"This is a famous weapon. As soon as my grandson accepted it, he has already fallen into a rut."
"So it doesn't matter if the grandson doesn't cooperate. He still bears the responsibility. All we need to do is visit the grandson and let the news out. We will say that Zhang Dai and the grandson, one pretended to be a white face and the other a bad face in order to run errands."
"Even if Taisun didn't play, outsiders would think he did."
As soon as he said this, a cool breeze rushed in from the west window, and the curtains were blown rustling.
Everyone present realized something.
Indeed, if you are smart, it doesn't matter if you don't play?
After the status is determined, even if you don't play, everyone will think that you have played, so it is the same as playing, there is no difference.
"This is indeed a good idea!"
"Sure enough, the boss is still foresighted!"
Everyone was amazed and felt a little chilly in their hearts. The emperor's methods were really powerful. He had laid out the plan from the beginning and had already foreseen what would happen today.
He secretly thought to himself that if so-and-so is wrong with him, next time he will be sent on an errand, and a deputy will be sent. If the deputy gets into trouble again, then each person can be punished fifty times.
But the problem is, the deputy has been hit by the board, so he can lie down for medical treatment, and when he is cured, he will be upgraded to three levels in a row.
He was hit so hard that his vitality was severely damaged, and he was demoted three levels in a row.
This trick is really poisonous!
And there is no room for resistance.
Is the water in the capital so deep? Let’s wander around the provinces and counties!
After a moment of silence, someone broke the silence: "In that case, why don't we wait a few days to let Zhang Dai cause more trouble before going to visit the grandson?"
This proposal was approved by many people.
The matter was so big that many people paid attention to it, and my grandson was raised even higher, and he couldn't even think about it!
Wouldn't it be a good idea to visit your great-grandson at that time?
There was another person sitting at the back who spoke at this time: "Sir, Fang Xi and Yu Lu have also fallen into our hands. The people we sent have gained their trust.
However, if you want to go further, someone has to be the villain."
The so-called evil people are those who have angered Fang Xi and Yu Lu, making them strong-blooded. They get angry and investigate to the end, causing great trouble.
This candidate is not easy to choose.
Not only must he have a certain amount of weight, but he must also be a real evil person. At the very least, he must be able to win the trust of Fang Xiyulu and make the two of them believe that this person does have such power and can do such evil things.
I’m not belittling myself, I really meet this requirement and basically sit here.
Is it necessary to sacrifice one of our own?
If we really want to do this, who would want to?
Everyone also figured out this truth, and their expressions changed slightly, or they remained silent.
At this time, no one is willing to stand up and sacrifice.
This doesn't mean you can escape once it's over. This is tantamount to sacrificing your body and being buried with him!
Even Magistrate Xu pondered, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
Or, even if there is such a candidate, it would be difficult to put it forward directly in front of the old man.
On the contrary, the old man sitting in the middle didn't even raise his eyelids: "This doesn't need to be discussed, I do have a candidate here."
Everyone in the room immediately looked over. Despite everyone's gaze, the smile on the old man's face disappeared and he said, "Jun Wei Han Chengyi can be this evil person."
Han Chengyi?
Everyone present had heard of this man, not only because he was indeed a seventh-grade official, but also because he had a close relationship with the old man.
That one is the boss’s nephew!
The boss actually wants to sacrifice Han Chengyi?
Seeing that everyone was shocked, the old man said slowly: "Although Han Chengyi is my nephew, he can become an official only because of my influence. That's all. In the past ten years, he has indeed done a lot of evil things.
When I think about myself, I often feel ashamed."
"Now that he can be loyal to the emperor, he is lucky."
As soon as this was said, everyone understood.
Indeed, relying on the power of the boss, Han Chengyi has been running rampant and evil for more than ten years, but most of them are in the counties, so no one really cares about him.
But now that the boss has retired, I'm afraid someone might want to be an upright official and clean up this person.
This is not snobbery, it is just the official rule.
Han Chengyi could not die a happy death, and if he were really investigated, the boss and the Pei family of the boss might be implicated.
Now the old man has taken the initiative to sacrifice his nephew. The emperor does not know or care about the bad things in this county. He only knows that the Pei family and Han Chengyi are loyal to the country.
Not only did the Pei family benefit, Han Chengyi also immediately became a loyal minister, and he might even be given a special gift to protect the family.
Thinking of this, everyone was impressed and opened their minds.
"I really admire my brother Qi Huashan for his loyalty to the country and his awe-inspiring righteousness. My brother Qi Huashan works as an errand in the county and can also play a supporting role."
"My third son-in-law has high potential and is not far behind."
Suddenly, everyone was no longer silent, and mentioned several people one after another, people who were not present but had a relationship with them.
When it comes to doing evil, do evil.
When it comes to the level of official positions, they are not very low.
The final list included seven people.
Looking at the list, Magistrate Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone is righteous enough to kill their relatives. This loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon!"
"The emperor will also be able to see it."
He added coldly: "Now that all evil is here, let's see what is right."
"Sir, Chai Kejing, the prefect of Nanxing County, would you like to remind me?"
Nanxing County, where Yulu and Fang Xi are currently located, is also the county where the boss's nephew Han Chengyi is located.
As for Chai Kejing, he was an unlucky man. He was originally the prefect of Yulin Prefecture, but he was ordered to do so by the emperor because of the granary matter. Although he had only been in office for a few days and had little responsibility, he was still transferred to Nanxing County as the prefect.
Dropped one level.
The old man sneered: "If Chai Kejing doesn't follow us, what do we care about him? If something goes wrong, we can use this person's head to win the trust of our grandson!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded and thought this was not bad.
Anyway, the guillotine didn't fall on his own neck. Using Chai Kejing's head to win the trust of the grandson and serve the emperor faithfully had nothing to do with him.
No one noticed that on the roof of the roof, a little fox was placing its ears on the tiles, listening carefully to the conversation, and could hear every word of the exchange clearly.
After listening to the exchange, the little fox lay on the tiles and saw the side door opened. The butler led everyone out. Because it was cloudy, the servants were waiting to put oil coats on everyone. Only someone said: "Sir, please step back. I am humble.
I see that you are a little tired, so you should rest more and leave the little things to us."
The little fox huddled under the eaves, looking at the people from across the room, remembering their faces one by one.
