Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 150 The Dirtyness of a Group of People

Liang Shicheng not only said this to Wang Xiu, but also expressed his state of mind to Zhao Ji, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhao Ji glanced at Liang Shicheng with an intriguing look.

Wang Xiu didn't pay more attention to Liang Shicheng. He really didn't understand why Liang Shicheng, as Wang Fu's adoptive father, had any reason to be so friendly to him. It should be said that he was quite appreciative.

"Ju'an is still busy with official duties!" When the official office closed his pen, Wang Fu walked slowly into Cai You's office in the Privy Council, with a sincere smile.

In fact, Cai You, as a bachelor of Xuanhedian University, actually has the official positions of Bachelor of LongTuge and Attendant, and a direct bachelor of the Privy Council. These are all attendant duties, but the Bachelor of LongTuge and Attendant has a high status and has special duties. The public hall, in order to show his existence, he set up the public hall in the Privy Council, pretending to be nothing.

Cai You raised his head and saw Wang Fu coming in, stood up, smiled unnaturally: "Isn't Jiang Ming not returning home, please."

"Sitting with Ju An is also a rare leisure time." Wang Fu sat down with a smile.

After all, Wang Fu is the most interesting playmate in front of Zhao Ji. Just last year, relying on Zhao Ji's favor and Liang Shicheng's admiration, he blatantly took away the house of Xu Jiang, the servant of his family, and drove the whole Xu family out of the house during the day. On the street, passers-by dare not speak out, which shows the energy of this guy.

Cai You didn't dare to trust her, so she got up and walked over, sat down on the high-backed chair next to her, and called the servants of the Privy Council to bring tea, before she said casually, "Brother Jiang Ming, what's your business?"

Wang Fu took a sip of tea unhurriedly, put down the cup, and then said: "Ju'an really knows how to enjoy it. Now that the midsummer is over, this Ruilong tea still has the taste of the first picking. I don't know how to preserve it. .”

Cai You knew that Wang Fu would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he would not serve Zhao Ji at this moment, so he must have something to ask him for. Talking about the tea ceremony is not nonsense!Since you're playing hide and seek with me, that's great!I also played sloppy with you, and said leisurely: "How can my scattered green leaves compare with Brother Jiangming's Guzhu purple bamboo shoots."

"Hehe, I only have this little hobby. I always like to drink cattle, and I'm still Ju Anya." Wang Fu smiled brightly.

Cai You secretly observed Wang Fu's face, thinking about Wang Fu's intentions when he came, but he heard Wang Fu say something intentionally or unintentionally, "I didn't expect that Wang Xiu's plan is so big that the latecomers will take the lead."

After Wang Fu finished speaking, he glanced at Cai You again and said with a half-smile: "These days, Ju'an is the work of the government office, but I'm tired a lot!"

The corner of Cai You's mouth twitched violently, he was working hard for the office, isn't this nonsense?Who doesn't know that he is the shopkeeper who is throwing his hands away, watching Wang Xiu's busyness with cold eyes, accepting the benefits of favors, and preparing to install people in the yamen after the preparations are completed.

Whether Wang Xiu can be favored or not is neither bad news nor good news for him. He has his own way of honor and favor, which is not to say that anyone can easily shake him. Zhao Heng still dotes on him very much.

Wang Fu thought that he knew it in the blink of an eye, and it was nothing more than to stir up his jealousy and hatred for Wang Xiu and cause the two to fight.

Then again, he, Cai You, is not as elegant as he is, and he is so boring that he has a completely unnecessary confrontation with Wang Xiu. At least until the office and the bank are in normal operation, it is by no means in his fundamental interest, because he also sees to great prospects.

"Wang Xiu single-handedly handles all the general affairs of the government office, and I'm free, who can let others do it!" Cai You said lightly, but still showed deep dissatisfaction.

Wang Xiu showed his sharpness in official affairs, and he refused to budge on the appointment and dismissal of key personnel. Sometimes it made him very embarrassed. He received benefits from others but couldn't arrange good jobs. It was a big blow to his reputation. If it weren't for Zhao Ji, he would have treated Wang Xiu long ago. Let's do it.

Wang Fu secretly scolded Cai You for being cunning, but he had a kind smile on his face.Said: "Ju'an is a modest gentleman."

A sinister smile flashed in Cai You's eyes, he didn't speak, and waited for Wang Fu, the blue-eyed jade-faced fox, to reveal his purpose.

Cai You's smile didn't escape Wang Fu's observation, he felt a little bit in his heart, those eyes were not human's eyes at all, he was also a ruthless person, he did a lot of bullying, kindness and robbery, but Cai You What Yau did yesterday made him feel unscrupulous, it was no longer a matter of means or character.

In contrast, he is considered an individual, while Cai You is not an individual at all.

He clearly heard Cai You say to Zhao Ji in the inner room: "If you don't get rid of the scorpion, I'm afraid he will ruin the official family affairs again and again. If the official family can't bear it, the minister is willing to kill the relatives righteously."

With this vision, Wang Wei felt that he might have made a mistake in recommending Cai You, and with Cai You's temperament, he could secretly make a ruthless move against him at any favorable time.

However, from Cai You's silence, Wang Fu faintly felt that Cai You was not interested in Wang Xiu, and just regarded Wang Xiu as a pawn, which added weight to Zhao Ji's mind, and would not move for the time being.

"How can Wang Xiu be a good person?" Wang Fu sneered in his heart, but he said indifferently: "Your Excellency has the eyes to recognize talents, and Wang Xiu can live in peace."

Cai You's complexion changed, and he returned to normal in an instant.

The words are not speculative, and Wang Fu's last sentence is the ultimate move. Since there is nothing to talk about, he and Cai You have their own thoughts, and they chatted for a while, but the two laughed heartily. Only then did Wang Fu leave with a smile.

"I want to kill two birds with one stone, it's a good idea." Cai You's face was gloomy, and Wang Fu's words reminded him of the prospect of huge benefits. Cai Jing valued Wang Xiu, but Wang Xiu's attitude was very unclear. He couldn't Do not prevent ah!He even thought that Wang Xiu had been a great help to him for a long time, but now he couldn't see it anymore.

Wang Xiu was so busy that she didn't even go back to the house for several days. She lived and ate in the yamen inside the old Fengqiu gate.

It was already late, and Wang Xiu refined and sorted out the trade regulations for the maritime case on the basis of the Commercial Affairs Regulations of the Commissioner's Office. He stretched out to have a sip of tea, got up and moved around a few times, and seemed to remember something. He went out of the office and came to the office of the joint office. Seeing six or seven subordinates working nervously, he smiled and said: "What time is it now?"

A petty official about forty years old looked at the hourglass and said, "It seems to be Xu Shitou."

"It's over, have you all eaten?" Wang Xiu patted his forehead, and he only remembered when the food delivered by the public chef was cold.

"have eaten."

"My lord hasn't eaten yet?"

Everyone was chattering, they were all from the public family for half their lives, they came from Shangshu Hubu, Taifu Temple, Taixue, and Guozixue Computing Department. It's also very hypocritical, because officials can't work for a few years, they work for a lifetime, and without them the group of officials can't get along.

No, they worked overtime for several consecutive days, and complaints must be indispensable, but they didn't make a fuss, let alone make trouble.

Several encounters and confrontations made them understand that although Wang Xiu is young, this young man has real talents and practical learning, is capable and decisive in handling things, and is not procrastinated at all. , There is absolutely no way to be slick, and often an idea catches their eyes.

Wang Xiu seems to have a certain kind of attraction, she never asks you to do that, but leads everyone with her own actions, so that they, who are sophisticated in the world, can't help but contribute.

Of course, Wang Xiu didn't let them work in vain, and formulated generous remuneration. Not only did the public chefs who worked overtime have extremely rich meals, but each meal included five dishes, mutton, water and wine, which was completely the standard of fourth- and fifth-rank officials. It is also very generous, each night shift has a salary increase of [-] cash, which is not a small amount. You must know that the monthly salary of a senior subordinate is only three or four pennies plus one stone of rice.

"I feel a little hungry, and I still have snacks at night. Everyone, please pay attention to your body and get up and move around every now and then." Wang Xiu confessed a few words to herself, but when she saw Cai Yi's office in the east wing was lit, she couldn't help but took a step forward. go.

Whether it was Cai Jing's intention or Wang Xiu's good intentions, Cai Yi was expelled from the Prime Minister's Office of State Affairs to write opportune words, which was regarded as a training for him.

Not only did Cai Yi enter the office, but Shen Shen also joined the office and was in charge of the bank's preparations. It was the first time for these friends to work for the emperor.

"What's the matter, haven't you gone back yet?" Wang Xiu came in and saw Cai Yi's expression was not good, and he looked a little absent-minded.

"Aren't you in the office all day?" Cai Yi smiled when he saw Wang Xiu come in.

"Have something on your mind? Let's hear it." Wang Xiu thinks that although Cai Yi is Cai You's son, he is different from those dandies in Tokyo, and he still sticks to it. He also agrees with this friend, and the two speak very directly when they are together.

Cai Yi's eyes were complicated, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "My father wants to kill my second uncle."

"What? Cai Xueshi wants it." Wang Xiu's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. Cai You really wanted to attack Cai. The point of fratricide.

Cai Yi sighed helplessly, and slowly told the whole story. It had been rumored since the palace examination. Cai You insisted on repairing the passage from Yanfu Palace to the Cai family's three mansions in order to maintain favor. Of course, Cai Tao opposed this kind of hatred The stupid thing, the already sharp contradiction was planned again, which got out of hand.

The project has already started, and the bustling city center in the west of Kaifeng City has been demolished like a wilderness, and the public's grievances are boiling to the extreme.

Cai Xuan's opposition to several times was ineffective. He was very angry and discussed with Chao Sanlang and the secretary of the trial, Zheng Ang, the young supervisor. He spent a night writing a memorial. The road to Cai's house was never feasible.

Of course Cai Jing also knew, and he forbade Cai Tao to give the memorial to Zhao Ji, but Cai You learned the inside story through his confidants in Nanfu.

The most ridiculous thing is that Zheng Ang, a talented literati who has become a young prisoner, has no political sense at all. He spread the content of Cai Tao's manuscript everywhere, but Cai You caught the handle and reported it to the police immediately. Zhao Ji, this happened just before Wang Fu went to see Cai You.
