Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 331 A Strange Operation

On the streets of the capital, Lin Su walked slowly in plain clothes.

Although the Supervisory Department and his party just now are all official articles, as long as they are good at interpreting, they can still interpret something.

Especially Zhu Shiyun.

Zhu Shiyun was very friendly to him and told him directly that there is not much to do in the first month, you can go home and rest.

What does it reflect?

The grown-ups in the court will have no good way to deal with him for a while, and the best way is to drive him away.

That's right, the court masters devised a plan to kill him years ago, and tried every means to get him to go to Xizhou for inspection. They were sure that they could kill him, but what happened?Xizhou was turned upside down, over a hundred officials died there, and Lin Su came back alive and well.

The pain of the past told them that if there is no better way, it is best not to think about letting him go down to inspect, he will patrol the dead!
But Lin Su is very passionate about work. If you don't assign tasks, I will take the initiative to shoulder the burden myself!

I'm just going on a tour!
Work makes me happy, work keeps me full!
Zhu Shiyun is staying in Lei Zheng's office right now, his face has turned into a bitter gourd...

This kid plans to visit Jiangnan after the Lantern Festival...

This news made Lei Zheng and Zhu Shiyun's hearts tremble...

Especially Lei Zheng, his hometown is also in the thirteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has never forgotten that after the earthquake in Xizhou's officialdom, he and Zhang Juzheng fought hard in the Golden Palace.

In addition, the ghost gate that this kid went to the Golden Palace that time was also under his "Wen Dao Xixin"!
With this kid's shrewdness, he can clearly know that Lei Zheng harbors deep malice towards him.

With this kid's habit of pissing off people at every turn, why did he suddenly feel that... a group of people in his hometown are afraid that they will be saved...

"My lord, I suddenly thought of a way..." Zhu Shiyun raised his eyes, and there was a little excitement in his eyes.

"what?"

"A few days ago, didn't the ancient country of Nanyang send someone over to invite our country's top Confucian scholars to participate in the 'Qinglian Discussion'? Why don't you suggest to His Majesty to send him there?"

Lei Zheng's first reaction was to shake his head...

Qinglian discusses Taoism, top scholars from nine countries and thirteen prefectures gather in Qinglian Holy Land to discuss Taoism together!
Not to mention the fame of the grand event, nine countries and thirteen states respect it together, even if you only participate in it once, it is enough to make a literati shine for a hundred thousand miles.In order to compete for the seven places, the Confucian scholars of Bailu Academy and Hanlin Academy were all crazy, smearing others, exalting themselves, and doing everything they could.

Do you want to fight for such a chance to become famous?

Are you not afraid that Zhang Wenyuan and Zhao Xun will unscrew your head and kick it as a ball?

Zhu Shiyun was in a hurry: "My lord, our top priority is to get him out of Dacang, and the rest can be ignored...not to mention...the poet family and the holy family are in the ancient country of Nanyang, and the people of the holy family can get rid of him quickly. .”

Lei Zheng's eyes lit up...

Holy Family?

Lin Su's greatest achievement is poetry, and he can shoot colorfully without exception. Such a person is the pride of the people of Dacang, but he is also the most unacceptable person in the family of poets and sages.

How can they allow others to stand at the highest place in the poetry circle?

How can their glory be shared with others?
Once Lin Su enters Nanyang, he will encounter an unprecedented and all-round attack, including his life and the name of his poem!

Thus, the most wonderful operation began to unfold in the capital...

That is, the high-ranking officials of the court began to show great interest in Qinglian's discussion, and they were particularly concerned about the candidates. Well, if you go, you must be a real talent, otherwise, the failure will be small, and the damage to our country will be big...

Lin Su's name was mentioned for the first time...

Lin Su didn't know this. If he knew, his first reaction would probably be disbelief. Those adults in the court would give him such a good opportunity?fart!I don't believe it!

He walked through the bustling East Street and walked towards West Street.

Walking step by step is like a downhill road in life.

There has always been a saying in Beijing: the rich are in the east, the poor are in the west, and the bachelors move northward.

It is about the layout of the capital.

The East Street is full of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, the land is very expensive, and everything sold is at a high price. The West Street is a slum area, where the descendants of down-and-out officials live here. , the generation of oirans in the east city has seen all kinds of things in the world, and they also live here after getting old and fading.

These people are also the upper class of West Street.

And of course the lower level.

Hooligans hang around here, Jiangyang bandits live in ruined temples, and the original aborigines in the capital can't get along anymore, so they live here...

Here is a huge scar in the capital, as long as you dare to open a hole, all the maggots will be exposed inside, let you understand that the world is not only the breeze, the moon, and the tall pavilions.

Every day, there will always be a few corpses dragged out from nowhere.

Every night, there will always be sad tunes flowing out from nowhere.

That's it... the base shades on this huge palette from Westside.

How could Deng Hongbo, a senior member of the third rank in the imperial court, and the household servant who was recognized as the most lucrative in the world, live in Xicheng?
From the perspective of ordinary people, this does not conform to the perception at all.

But when Lin Su saw the whole picture of Deng's mansion, he felt that he could be calm.

why?
This house is really broken and old, but it occupies a large area. Others can’t see its value because of the cognitive generation gap of the times. People who enter the capital in modern society can despise those who live in courtyard houses as poor people. ?
Deng Hongbo's house is a huge courtyard, oh no, it seems that there are not only quadrangles, but also seven, eight, ten or more!In the house, there are towering ancient trees!There are several big trees, visually estimated to be over a hundred years old!The trees are over a hundred years old, how old do you think the house is?Comprehensive judgment: This house was obviously not built by Deng Hongbo. He is either a senior gnawing old man, or a fool who dares to be the first in the world and challenge the values ​​of the times...

Lin Su strode away and walked to the main gate of Deng Mansion.

The main entrance of Deng's Mansion still has the demeanor of a three-point court official. The bluestone is the road, and the road surface is quite clean. The two horse tying stones are the symbols of the court officials.

Lin Su grabbed the heavy copper ring and hit it lightly twice. The ancient thick wooden door was slowly opened, revealing a thin old face.

"Old man, is this the mansion of Master Deng Hongbo?"

"Yes... Young Master?"

"Inspector Lin Su."

"It turns out to be the Supervisor!" The old family bowed deeply: "Forgive me, my lord is ill today and cannot receive guests."

It's about to close.

Lin Su hurriedly stopped him: "Old man, you only need to report, whether you see or not, the adults make their own decisions!..."

Lin Su double handed over a greeting card...

"Okay, wait a moment, my lord!" The old man hurriedly saluted, picked up the greeting card and rushed into the house...

Deng Hongbo was lying on his back on the bed, with a hot towel on his forehead, beside him was his wife, and two young people, a man and a woman, were nervously watching a doctor help him feel his pulse.

The doctor waited for a long time before slowly opening his eyes.

"Doctor Zhang, how is the master?" Madam asked.

The doctor shook his head lightly: "Your Excellency should be in good health, there is no need for medicine stones, let him rest."

The madam felt relieved, and presented the consultation fee of one tael of silver: "Thank you so much, Doctor Zhang, Qiushan, send it to Doctor Zhang."

The young man Qiu Shan sent Dr. Zhang out, and when he was about to leave, Dr. Zhang stopped: "My lord, your lord is a man with a high literary heart. If it is a physical illness, it doesn't matter, but it is not a physical illness, but a mental illness. His heart disease is more dangerous than his body disease, it is useless for Madam to know about it, but Young Master cannot be ignorant."

Deng Qiushan sighed: "This young man naturally knows, but..."

At this moment, the butler ran all the way in: "My lord, Master Lin Sulin, the inspector, is here to visit."

Ombudsman?When Deng Qiushan heard these three words, his heart trembled slightly. Dad is currently being suppressed by the court officials. Could it be that forcing him to quit his job is not enough, and directly use the Supervision Department?
But when he suddenly heard the name behind, he was startled: "Lin Su?"

"Yes! It is Master Lin Su, the Inspector."

"Please!" Deng Qiushan ran out following the housekeeper.

The sound of the door came to the bedroom, and Deng Hongbo heard a general idea, and slowly opened his eyes: "Who... who is here?"

"It seems to be the Supervision Department!" The girl said: "Father, could it be another trick by the court officials? Use the Supervision Department to investigate Dad's problems?"

"Nonsense! The old man walks upright and sits upright. Why are you afraid of the Supervision Department?" Deng Hongbo sat up suddenly, and the hot towel on his forehead slid off.

The girl was startled...

The lady quickly supported him: "Yes, sir, you can walk upright and sit upright... But now, you can't sit upright, you should lie down... Juner, what are you talking nonsense, you don't know yet Your father? If he hadn't been an upright official, how would he have come to where he is now?"

The girl was scolded for no reason, and ran away...

Almost bumped into the two people coming from outside, the girl stopped urgently, lowered her head...

Even though he just glanced at it, the person he saw was a bit unexpected. This is the supervisor?Why subvert the image a bit?Shouldn't the Inspector have a sulky face, slender eyes, ready to take some bad water to harm people at any time?Why did the young man who came here be sunny and handsome, so handsome that he couldn't even describe it...

"Master Lin, my father is not feeling well and is currently lying quietly in the room. How about letting the students report to my father first?"

"it is good!"

When Deng Qiushan went in, Lin Su raised his eyes and met Jun'er's vivid eyes. Jun'er's sneaky glance was seen through, and he was shy and hid in the flower bed behind.

Deng Qiushan entered the bedroom and directly touched his father's eyes: "Who is here?"

"Master Lin Sulin, Supervisor!"

Deng Hongbo was shocked: "Lin Su?"

"Yes! He is dressed in casual clothes, and he also submitted a greeting card... Daddy, please take a look!" Deng Qiushan presented the greeting card with both hands...

Inspector Haining Linsu worshiped...

Small gift: Ten altars of wine by Baiyun, ten bottles of Spring Tears and Autumn Tears perfumes, a set of four treasures for the study...

"Let him in!" Deng Hongbo said.

"Daddy can't get up now, it's inconvenient to see guests, why don't daddy tell the baby, and it's the same when the baby meets him in his study."

In this era, the bedside is not an ordinary place. Doctors, close relatives, and waiters can be close. It is impolite to meet guests in front of the bed.

"It doesn't matter!" Deng Hongbo said: "This kid caused the old man to be targeted by the officials. Does the old man need to care about etiquette in front of him?"

Deng Qiushan didn't know the expression on his face, but he could only go out according to what his father said...

Lin Su smiled and strode into his bedroom.

In the bedroom, only Deng Hongbo was alone, and his wife avoided him...

Lin Su approached slowly, Deng Hongbo closed his eyes and ignored him...

"My lord, are you really sick?"

Deng Hongbo's eyes opened suddenly, and there were flames blazing...you have the nerve to ask!I fell into this field, who is to blame?Isn't it all you?If you fight Zhang Wenyuan, we will suffer...

Lin Su smiled: "I know you have some resentment towards me... If I help you solve your worries, will this resentment go away?"

Deng Hongbo stared at him, and said slowly: "Do you know what worries me?"

Lin Su said: "Isn't it just half a month to review the accounts for a year? How difficult is this?"

Deng Hongbo popped up with a swish: "How to solve it?"

His bounce was too abrupt, Lin Su was startled: "My lord, you are cured of your illness."

"Stop talking about other things, tell the old man quickly, how to solve it?"

Lin Su said: "Choose a few trustworthy subordinates and let them come over. I will teach them on the spot. As long as they have some arithmetic skills, it is absolutely not impossible to review the complete annual accounts in half a month!"

"Do you know how long it takes to review the full annual accounts normally?" Deng Hongbo stared at him.

"I don't know! Just tell me how long it will take."

Deng Hongbo is about to collapse, you don't know the complexity of the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, how dare you make such a guarantee?
"Normal review, three months! Moreover, the Fourth Review Division is fully staffed, reviewing day and night! But at present, it may not be full." The Minister of the Ministry of Households deliberately suppressed him, so how could he be fully staffed?He can only mobilize thirty or forty cronies at most.

"Based on the people you can currently mobilize, how many months will it take to review the full annual accounts normally?"

"At least five months!"

"It's not a big problem!" Lin Su said, "I'll teach them a new calculation method, and the calculation efficiency should be increased by ten or twenty times. Half a month is still enough."

Deng Hongbo's eyes were wide open, and he stared at him firmly: "Boy, I don't care about you taking me into the ditch on the Golden Palace, but what time is it now? How dare you talk about it..."

"It doesn't matter whether I dare to say something or not, the important thing is: Do you dare to believe it?"

"Don't dare!"

"Then do you dare to give it a try?"

"..."

Butler has flown!

Yes, it took off directly from the fence, and the flight was not low. It seems that he has two jobs, one is a housekeeper, and the other is a nurse, a third-rank official of the court, after all, he has some background.

The butler summoned people with a list written by the adults himself.

Deep down in his heart, Deng Hongbo firmly disbelieved Lin Su, but at this time, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he still followed suit.

What about Lin Su?
Deng Qiushan took it into the study.

Sit down, a cup of tea, two seats, Deng Qiushan toasted: "Master Lin, my father is careless by nature, and he doesn't care about petty matters. If he is rude, the student will apologize to you on behalf of my father. I admire him so much that after the court meeting, my father drank a few cups at home, and he was full of praise when talking about your lord's poems and your integrity."
