Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 740

Indeed, Yinti really didn't know anything about Xue Hong's arrival in Shaanxi, so what he didn't know was that since Xue Hong came, the affairs at hand were getting more and more difficult. There are always unexpected surprises.

And Yinzhen was not a fool. He quickly saw that there must be some clues and guessed that there must be someone in the capital who was unwilling to let him return to the capital so quickly. It must be Yinzhen who was doing something behind the scenes.

But although he could think of it with his toes, it was Prince Yong's handwriting, but he couldn't find any clues, so he could only handle official business in a state of desperation every day.

"You bastard, is that the case again? Why does the material that the general wants have already been sorted out in the book, but there must be a problem when it is handed over to the king? What are you people doing?"

The Fourteenth Master is angry. The same thing has happened again and again. He, the officials under him, and even the local police officers, all of them can do nothing about such things. No.

Not to mention the person who caught the stolen materials, even the slightest clue of the matter can't be found, who can not be angry if such a thing is put on it?Moreover, the Fourteenth Master knew that the physical condition of Emperor Ama and Concubine Erniangde in Beijing was not optimistic, and he was always thinking about it, but he could not return to the capital.In his heart, he almost wanted to curse Yinzhen to death, but there was nothing he could do.

Looking at the officials who were silent and trembling in front of him, he knew that they were helpless. It seemed that Prince Yong Yinzhen had found a very powerful person this time.With no choice but to do so, Yinqi had no choice but to get angry and curse at others to relieve his depression, and then immerse himself in the mountain of official duties. He was simply out of control.

And all these troubles for him were caused by Xue Hong, Xue Hong had a clear mind, and hearing the reports from his subordinates, he felt a little bit sorry for the Fourteenth Master.

Xue Hong's mission is progressing smoothly. The so-called inspection of the warehouse is just a formality. In the rest of his free time, he will follow Wang Ziteng to see the so-called officialdom in his mouth.

That's it~ Nothing else. In addition to discussing business matters, officials gather together most of the time to gather with some prominent figures in the local area.This is the norm in the local officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. In some places, the honest officials did unite with the wealthy local people to discuss doing some good things for the people, such as building bridges and roads, distributing porridge and medicine, etc.Most of them are taking advantage of their positions to plunder people's wealth and wealth.

But Xue Hong watched it for a few days, and found that most of the officials who were corrupt and broke the law were poor and afraid.In fact, there is not much silver taels to be an official, and it is only 180 taels a year for a first-rank official in the dynasty, which is far from enough for most people who indulge in pleasure.But even so, it cannot be a reason for their corruption and bribery. When they became court officials, they forgot that they were once a member of the common people, and that their parents and even grandparents were also exploited by corrupt officials.Forgot your roots!

After following Wang Ziteng to the banquet for several days, Xue Hong was so fed up that she never wanted to go again.Wang Ziteng saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "My silly nephew, there is no absolute black or absolute white in this world. Take my uncle as an example. I have been hanging out in official circles for so many years. What kind of Have you ever seen anyone? Look at the Lord Guard King you saw the day before yesterday. Doesn’t he accept all the things anyone gives him? "

"It's that Lord Defense King who looks like he's smiling, and whoever asks him for anything, he will agree to it?"

Wang Ziteng nodded: "Such a person, on the surface, does not seem to be a master who recognizes money but does not recognize people? But he and the local county magistrate Mr. Deng have been re-elected for six years, and the people jointly signed a letter not to let them go. , do you know why?"

Xue Hong was shocked. He never expected that there would be such a secret, and asked quickly: "Why?"

Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "That's because he looks greedy on the surface, and he is a master who can do anything as long as he has money. In fact, he and Mr. Deng took all the valuable things received from various places. They all gather together to develop local transportation, commerce and agriculture. As for the things that others delay the two of them to do, there are some things that can be done, and all kinds of delays that can't be done. He also got the money from others, and made them unable to tell a mistake. Next time there is something to find them. If you have time, you can go to Linyou County where they work. Seeing is believing, and you will know that what uncle said is true."

"This……"

Wang Ziteng said again: "Don't believe me. Earlier you said that you had a good impression of that huge man, that he looked upright. Let me tell you, he is not a thing! On the surface, he looks the most He is decent, but in fact, he loves money to the core. However, the money he got from greed is just passing through, and most of it is in Nian Gengyao's pocket, otherwise you think he is so ignorant, How can he reach the fourth rank? In the secret letter to the prince, this guy is famous for corruption and bribery!"

"Oh my God, no way!?"

I really don't know whether these people's acting skills are too good, or Xue Hong is too naive. Hearing what Wang Ziteng said, he really can't tell who is a human and who is a ghost.But fortunately, Wang Ziteng knew the details of the officials in Shaanxi. He also recorded the specific situation of each official in detail according to Yinzhen's request, and sent letters to Yinzhen regularly.

Of course, Yinzhen will not send only one official to record these things in the same area, and one-sided words can't provide much evidence, but Wang Ziteng doesn't know who the other people who wrote secret letters to Yinzhen on time here are.

After hearing Wang Ziteng's words, Xue Hong couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "Every official has his own characteristics. In the final analysis, they are all ministers. In what position and what role do these ministers have to play, and what kind of constraints and conflicts will arise between them. If we cooperate, then only the superior, our master, needs to consider it. So not everyone can be the emperor, and here is the mystery."

Xue Hong heard the words and sighed: "Uncle, I understand, you told me so many things just to tell me, the appearance is not credible, is it?"

Wang Ziteng nodded: "No matter what kind of officials you want to contact in the future, on the premise of doing your job well, don't jump to conclusions."
