Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 116
The city lord's mansion, which was the name thousands of years ago, is now called the county magistrate's mansion, and the official residence of every county magistrate is now the official residence of Xinyang Ling Lu Yuan.

Wang Mang looked at Lu Yao so excited, his expression was inexplicable. At this moment, Wang Mang thought that Lu Yao and Lu Yuan had the same surname as Lu, and before that, Lu Yao could command the government officials in Xinyang County, so he couldn't help guessing whether Lu Yao had any connection with Lu Yuan.

Niu San naturally didn't know these things, although he was also curious about the reason for Lu Yao's excitement, but at the moment Niu San's thoughts were all about how to get away from Wang Mang. It is now the mansion of Xinyang Commander Lu Yuan."

"Why are you in the City Lord's Mansion?" Lu Yao frowned.

"Did you forget that the ancestors of the Lin family used to live in Xinyang City. I, no, Li Hei checked the Xinyang county annals and found that there was once a city owner named Lin in Xinyang City. Li Hei guessed that the city owner surnamed Lin was the ancestor of the Lin family. However, the Lin family has undergone major changes, and after the lineage was cut off, many members of the Lin family have appeared near Xinyang is also a proof." Niu San paused, and then said: "In addition, Li Hei found out that he got it from that bitch. The obtained treasure map of the evil sword, the texture of the mountains and rivers drawn on it is exactly the terrain near Xinyang City, and it was even further discovered that the core area shown on the treasure map is exactly where the city lord's mansion is."

"This Li Hei is indeed a capable person! It's a pity that he doesn't want to serve the country." Wang Mang sighed. He had discovered that Li Hei had a good way of leading people in the mountain temple before. Bing, I am afraid that he has already won a future.

Seeing Wang Mang sighing for Li Hei, Niu San couldn't help but think of himself, shook his head and said, "Why don't you wear the Wu hook, the man will naturally understand what the young master said, but serving the country is something I can do if I want to."

"Why do you say that?" Wang Mang asked curiously: "As far as I know, there are still many ways for the imperial court to accept opinions and recruit talents to serve the country."

"Today's Son is indeed the Holy Son of Heaven." Niu San shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I was born at an untimely time, and never encountered this era. If there were current policies back then, how could we be bandits. "

"It's all reasons." Wang Mang shook his head.

"It's not a reason." Niu San sighed, and said: "Young master is born extraordinary at first glance, he must be born from a wealthy family, how can we know the pain of us low-level people, once the young master is born, the future is doomed, presumably the young master only needs to be born. If you want to be an official in the court, you must be an official in Chang'an at any time, and if you want to join the army, you must start with a position above the captain's position. How can you understand that we can't get a small official? How can we understand that the way out for us is narrow. Even if these people want to serve the country, they must have connections!"

Wang Mang was speechless for a while. He knew that Niu San was just a reason, but as the emperor, Wang Mang knew that what Niu San said was indeed true. Cut off all the paths of advancement for all the children of the poor family, and the so-called children of the poor family who have emerged in the court in recent years are either the son-in-law of a certain family or the godson of a certain family. In the true sense, the children of the poor family can be counted on one hand.

The sage said: The running water does not rot, and the door hinge does not become moth.

Constantly flowing water does not stink, and constantly rotating door hinges do not get eaten by moths. Only by exercising regularly can people live longer.

From the old point of view of the imperial court system, only by maintaining the activity of the upper and lower circulation at all times can there be strong vitality. It is impossible for a sage to be reborn, and it is impossible to save this ossified and corrupt court.

Fortunately, although Daqin has a lot of evils, it has not been in such a situation for a long time, and it can be changed through reforms. If it is completely rigid, then Wang Mang can only leave the throne and flee for his life.

Thinking of the chaotic court, Wang Mang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, looking at Niu Sandao, "Does Li Hei have helpers in Xinyang City?"

"Ah?" Niu San was taken aback, and said in amazement: "Seeing the young master, I know what it means to be smart. That's right, Li Hei does have helpers in Xinyang."

"Who is it?" Wang Mang asked.

"I don't know who it is." Niu San shook his head and said, "I only know the code and location of the connection. I suspect that Li Hei is going to dig a hole to bury me, so I didn't dare to go to the connection."

"That's right, based on what I know about Li Hei, he must know who the man behind the ambush in Xinyang City is." Wang Mang nodded and said, "The reason why I didn't tell you is because I have no good intentions. You were right in not going to the meeting." of."

"If I had known earlier, I might as well go to the joint." Niu San sighed.

"Why?" Wang Mang smiled.

"At this point, will you let me go?" Niu San looked at Wang Mang resignedly, and said, "Although I don't know much about you, I'm sure you will never let me go."

Niu San already has no hope for Wang Mang letting him go. As a bandit, Niu San understands the principle of survival of the fittest. Those who are worthy can live longer, and those who are worthless will not live long.

He thought that he could survive under Wang Mang by keeping some secrets, but now it seems that the secrets he has hidden have long been under the eyes of the young man in front of him.

Niu San couldn't imagine Wang Mang's origin. It's not that Niu San has never met the nobleman, and he has killed a lot of people, but this is the first time he has seen Wang Mang's demeanor. Niu San even thought, if the world's noble son They are all like Wang Mang, so there is no chance for a low-level commoner like him to stand out.

Wang Mang smiled at Niu San, asked Niu San the last question, and then strode away.

Behind Wang Mang, Niu San fell to the ground slowly, and slowly closed his eyes. At the moment when his eyes were about to close, Niu San looked at the blue sky with some nostalgia for the last time, and suddenly remembered that he and Li Hei had grabbed that The scene of the Lin family woman, the sky that day was as blue as today.

Why bother to come!

Niu San let out a long sigh, and finally closed his eyes.

Lu Yao glanced at Niu San with a complicated expression, and then followed Wang Mang and left the yard. The affairs here will naturally be handled by someone, and they will never have anything to do with them.

At the gate of the city, as soon as Yan Hao appeared, he was stopped by the housekeeper of Yan's house who had already guarded here.

"Butler, don't bother me if it's not important, I have important things to do." Yan Hao looked at his butler with displeasure.

The housekeeper looked at Yan Hao with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and cried, "Master, there is nothing important, and this old servant dare not stop the master!"

"What's the matter?" Yan Hao frowned as he looked at the wound on the housekeeper's face.

"It's the young master." The butler looked at Yan Hao with a sad face, and said, "The young master was beaten!"

"What?" Yan Hao roared immediately: "Who dares to bully my Yan Hao's son!"
