Chapter 28 Jiang, someone who will always occupy the highest moral point
Liang Mansion, reception room.
Jiang Chaoge was sipping tea.
Although he is a ghost, the skin painting technique allows him to possess a 'yin tongue', so he can taste the delicacies of the world.
However, he can only taste it, not digest it. After the tea enters his stomach, it is actually still tea. If he spits it out again, he can taste it again.
While he was drinking tea, Liang Ping'an came in, followed by a man in scholarly clothes, holding a wooden box in his hand.
"Brother Jiang has been waiting for so long. I am really neglecting him. I originally thought of meeting with Brother Jiang in two days, but I didn't expect that Brother Jiang came by himself." As soon as Liang Ping'an came in, he saluted Jiang Chaoge first.
Jiang Chaoge then smiled, stood up and saluted back: "Brother Liang is nagging."
"Brother Jiang is so polite, why should we talk about nagging between you and me?" After Liang Ping'an finished speaking, he pointed to the wooden box in the hand of the man in scholarly clothes: "It's a small gift, I hope Brother Jiang will accept it."
When the man in Confucian clothes heard this, he immediately opened the box. On top was an ingot of snowflake silver, arranged neatly, and below were a few banknotes.
The number is unknown, but it is at least more than a thousand taels.
Jiang Chaoge's expression looked obviously confused: "Brother Liang, what does this mean?"
"I heard that Mr. Jiang is working in the county government?" This time, before Liang Ping'an could answer, the man in scholarly clothes spoke.
"Yes, exactly." Jiang Chaoge nodded.
"I heard from the young master that Capt. Jiang is very brave and brave, but a captivity is a bit unworthy of his talents. It just so happens that the Hedao Administration Office is short of a boss. I wonder if Capt. Jiang is interested?" the man in scholarly clothes said with a smile.
The meaning is very clear. As long as Jiang Chaoge nods, the Liang Mansion can make arrangements to jump from a head catcher under the county government to a government office under the Ministry of War.
What’s more, it’s such a fat river!
The most important thing is that by directly relying on the big tree of Liang Mansion, the future is unlimited.
The man in Confucian clothes was confident, so no one could refuse such an offer.
Then……
Jiang Chaoge refused.
"Thank you Brother Liang for your kindness. However, I still like to be a head catcher. I have no interest in Mr. Qian or anything like that."
It's very straightforward, very direct, and even the reasons given are extremely random.
The man in Confucian clothes was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood.
He knew that Capt. Jiang still wanted to save Magistrate Zhou, and the purpose of refusing the large sum of money and gifts was simply to use the 'life-saving grace' to coerce the Liang Mansion to release him.
He is indeed a grateful person!
However, County Magistrate Zhou definitely cannot let him go.
The man in Confucian clothes was well prepared and spoke again: "Jiang Baotou is young and promising. If he can enter the river administration office, he will be able to display greater ambitions. It is not known whether there will be more than one thousand presidents in the future? Or maybe Jiang
The head catcher has other preferred positions, and as long as they are within the capabilities of our Liang Mansion, we will do our best to satisfy them."
It’s very straightforward to ‘add more money’, and there’s no trickery involved.
When Liang Ping'an heard this, he also gave timely advice: "Brother Jiang, don't hesitate. I really admire Brother Jiang's talent and have no other intentions."
"I understand." Jiang Chaoge nodded lightly, then walked up to the man in scholarly clothes and picked out a piece of silver from the box: "Thank you, Brother Liang, for your kindness."
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
Liang Ping'an didn't understand for a moment, and the man in Confucian clothes was also stunned for a moment.
Withdraw a piece of silver?
"Wait a minute, Brother Jiang, what do you mean?" Liang Ping'an stopped Jiang Chaoge.
Jiang Chaoge stopped: "I went to Xiaoshan a few days ago just because I happened to be handling a case, and it was just a matter of convenience to save the young master. What's more, I am the chief arrester of Huai'an County, and what happens within the territory is my responsibility.
, in this case, how can I accept the future promised by Liang Mansion?"
This Mr. Jiang... actually wiped out the 'life-saving grace' directly? The man in scholar's clothes widened his eyes. This was something he never expected.
Liang Pingan was also stunned.
When he heard that Erlang came to the Liang Mansion, he was guessing in what way Erlang would ask him to repay his "life-saving grace".
But what about actually?
People don't care at all!
Liang Ping'an suddenly felt that he was so unbearable in front of this Erlang, but he still didn't understand: "Brother Jiang, why did you take another ingot of silver?"
"Because this ingot of silver is owed by the Liang Mansion, so I took it easily." Jiang Chaoge replied.
"I owe it to the Liang Mansion? What does Jiang Captou mean by this?" It was a man in scholarly clothes who spoke this time.
"Because Liang Mansion has selfish motives when doing things!" Jiang Chaoge said calmly: "Before I came to Liang Mansion, I already knew the whole story of the arrest of County Magistrate Zhou. Magistrate Zhou lost the 300,000 taels for disaster relief.
The money should be held accountable, but there are many kinds of accountability. It is just lost, not greedy. It can only be said to be incompetent, but it cannot be said that he did it intentionally."
Liang Ping'an and the man in Confucian clothes looked at each other without saying anything, waiting for Jiang Chaoge to continue.
Jiang Chaoge continued: "So when we encounter this kind of thing, we usually set a time limit, which can be five days or three days. If we can't get the money back, we can send them to prison again. There is no problem! But in fact, you
I know the real reason for this, but the Liang family heard about the death of the young master and mistakenly thought that it was framed by party strife to vent their private anger."
Jiang Chaoge looked at Liang Ping'an and the man in Confucian clothes, and raised his voice: "My lord, the Liang Mansion, is responsible for the supervisory envoy. He should be selfless and make impartial decisions, but in fact, this supervisory envoy,
What did you do again?"
"Now, due to the Liang Mansion's revenge, Magistrate Zhou's family was killed. Miss Zhou unfortunately fell into the river. After hearing the bad news, my wife had a dystocia and died yesterday after giving birth to a baby girl, leaving only a newborn baby girl."
"Although this matter was not what the Liang Mansion wanted, it was caused by the Liang Mansion. This ingot of silver is what the Liang Mansion owes!"
"I am taking it now to use it for the needs of the baby girl's wet nurse. It is not for my own benefit, but for the selfishness of the Liang family's actions this time and to alleviate some of the sins. Of course, you, the Liang family, are powerful people in the dynasty, so you don't have to."
Admit this selfishness, but I, Jiang Erlang, have taken this money on your behalf!"
"Farewell!"
After Jiang Chaoge finished speaking, he strode away directly.
You can deny this selfishness!
You, the Liang Mansion, are the nobles of the court, but I, Jiang Erlang, have already taken this money for you!"
Get it for you!
Take it for you...
Jiang Chaoge left.
But his words were like thunder, echoing in Liang Pingan's mind.
Liang Ping'an's face turned red and white for a while.
The palms of his hands clenched tightly.
"Yes, our Liang family can deny it, but... can we really deny it?"
"It's true that Magistrate Zhou lost the disaster relief money, but it's also true that my uncle used his power to force Magistrate Zhou into custody! Now that Miss Zhou fell into the river and Mrs. Zhou died in childbirth, is the Liang Mansion really blameless and selfless for this matter?
?”
"No, I, Liang Ping'an, cannot do such a thing! I, Liang Ping'an, stand upright. Since I have made a mistake, I should admit it. Since I, the Liang Mansion, have made a mistake, I should admit it!"
Liang Ping'an's eyes immediately turned red.
He looked at Erlang's retreating back. Is this still a little head catcher?
I was wrong!
From beginning to end, I misjudged Brother Jiang!
He, Jiang Erlang, is not that kind of worldly person. Magistrate Zhou was laid off, Miss Zhou fell into the river, and Mrs. Zhou died. He, Erlang Jiang, had long been separated from Magistrate Zhou and his family.
He could absolutely ask for benefits from the Liang Mansion based on his 'life-saving grace'.
But he didn't!
He only took one ingot of silver, and he took it for the Liang Mansion!
"Brother Jiang, wait a minute!" Liang Ping'an gritted his teeth.
"Young Master! No... you can't..." The man in Confucian clothes was anxious. Of course he could see what Liang Ping'an was going to say next.
"No need to say more, I have made up my mind!" Liang Ping'an waved his hand: "This matter started because of me, and I should solve it!"
"So, what do you want the Liang Mansion to do?" Jiang Chaoge stopped.
"First of all, I, the Liang Mansion, are willing to admit this selfishness. I, the Liang Mansion, are indeed at fault in this matter, and we are willing to compensate! However, what happened to County Magistrate Zhou's family is something we did not expect. Now Magistrate Zhou has been detained by my uncle.
, I really have no right to release him, but if Brother Jiang has anything else to ask for, I, Liang Pingping, will do my best to help him!"
That’s it!
Jiang Chaoge smiled.
He had already seen Liang Ping'an's little scheming in Xiaoshan Village. It was true that he was a bit smart, but it was too naive to want to fight with him.
Do you really think that I would directly ask the Liang Mansion to release him?
Laughing to death!
You thought I was only on the third floor.
In fact, I was already on the fifth floor!
I, Mr. Jiang, will always occupy the highest point of morality throughout my life!
Jiang Chaoge looked at Liang Ping'an and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "In that case, I would like to ask Brother Liang to do me a small favor and let me enter the case redemption library of the Night Investigation Department."
