Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 437 Blade Turning

After two days and two nights of travel, I finally arrived in Beijing.

Lin Su was still thinking about finding an inn to rest first, and Zhou Mei in front of him told him a piece of news: My father sent a message and asked you to go there quickly.

Lin Su's heart twitched slightly, Zhou Zhang, he is finally going to meet formally.

This person is the only court official that King Chen trusts. Before, Lin Su still had some doubts about him, but now, he can really trust him.

Because Zhou Zhang has already proved with his own life that he is the opposite of the court officials.

Lin Su met him last time, but at that time, Zhou Zhang was a living dead.

Now, you can actually see it.

In this hellish world, he made enemies everywhere, but while making enemies, he also gradually had some fellow travelers.

Zhang Juzheng used to be his only reliance in the court. Although the old man had a dangerous tendency to throw the table and quit, he was still reliable at critical moments.

Although Qu Wendong has withdrawn from the officialdom, his experience and experience can still help him.

The magistrate Yang of Haining guarded the rear for him.

Baoshan and Ren Taiyan guarded the Haining River Beach for him.

Deng Hongbo, although there is nothing to help him in front of him, he has united a group of people from the main combat faction, which is also a big force.

Zhang Haoran, Huo Qi, Li Yangxin, Li Xiaotian, his second brother Lin Jialiang, Zeng Shigui, and Li Zhiyuan who had just been recruited, although their individual strengths are all ants, but he has gradually begun to establish a foundation in the officialdom.

His official foundation is still too shallow, and he needs new strength.

For example, Zhou Zhang, the third-rank censor.

So, hearing that Zhou Zhang sent a message to his daughter that he wanted to see him, Lin Su suppressed the desire to find a place to sleep, and nodded.

"What do you think my father will talk to you about?" The little witch was a little confused.

"Maybe I'm worried that I'll kidnap you, talk to me about returning the goods..."

roll!Before the little witch disappeared, she gave him a solid kick.

Drunk Guest Residence in Beijing, on the third floor.

Lin Su was dressed in casual clothes, like an ordinary Jiang Hu person, stepped up, knocked lightly on the door, and when the door opened, he saw Zhou Zhang, who was also wearing casual clothes.

Lin Su closed the door with his backhand.

Outside the room, the red light was on, and a layer of ripples slowly opened. This is the formation, which can be seen by Lin Su's thousand-degree pupil, but not by anyone else.

"Lord Zhou!" Lin Su bowed deeply.

Zhou Zhang stretched out his hands, grabbed his shoulders, and refused to let him bow: "I haven't repaid my life-saving grace that day, Mr. Lin, please don't be polite."

"Then you and I are not polite today?"

"Okay, sit down!"

The two sat facing each other. Zhou Zhang poured a cup of tea from the pot and handed it to Lin Su. Lin Su leaned over to take it.

Zhou Zhang held up the teacup in his hand: "Your Beichuan matter has already spread to the capital."

Lin Su smiled: "What's the reaction in the capital?"

"You can naturally guess the reaction in the capital. Zhao Xun was furious, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also furious. However, there were also a large number of officials celebrating with each other!"

Lin Su narrowed his eyes: "The prince is furious? Are you sure it's the prince, not... the third prince?"

"This is the first thing I see you today!" Zhou Zhang said slowly: "You must understand that behind Zhao Xun is not the third prince, but the crown prince!"

Lin Su's heart skipped a beat...

Until now, he always thought that behind Zhao Xun was the Third Prince.

Why?

Because Zhao Xun had a confrontation with him before the palace examination, Zhao Xun asked Li Xiang to invite him, Li Xiang is from Wujianmen, and Wujianmen is a sharp weapon in the hands of the third prince.

Therefore, Zhao Xun belongs to the Third Prince!

But now, Zhou Zhang told him that Zhao Xun is actually the prince's man, but the third prince is also working hard to win him over. Zhao Xun did not tear himself apart from the third prince, and walked closer to Wujianmen on the stage, all to deceive the public. .

"The court officials stand in line and try their best to conceal. What they see on the surface may not be the truth. How can you be sure that Zhao Xun must belong to the prince?"

Zhou Zhang said...

It is well known in the world that the crown prince competes with the third prince for the heir.

It is no secret that court officials stand in line.

However, factional struggles have always been the most complicated struggles. What you see on the surface doesn't tell the story, your position on a certain matter doesn't tell the question, and past events don't tell the question either. Only one thing really tells the question, that It is a connection of interests.

Do you know what the Zhao family's biggest source of income is?

Zhou Zhang asked Lin Su this question.

"The Zhao family's officialdom offers special wine!" Lin Su replied.

Exactly!Zhou Zhangdao: "Zhaojia Yuping wine has become a special wine for the officialdom, and the funds required are allocated by the Ministry of Households. Of the funds allocated by the Ministry of Accounts, less than [-]% actually entered the Zhao family, and the remaining [-]% belonged to the prince. !"

Lin Su's heart is clear.

Court officials stand in line, which is invisible on the surface, because all court officials are as cunning as foxes.

There is only one thing that can truly bind people, and that is interest.

The Zhao family set up a special supply for the officialdom, and the consumption of public funds was the most lucrative. The prince accounted for [-]% of the profits brought by the Zhao family's wine.

Therefore, Zhao Xun must belong to the prince.

Lin Su performed such a song on Yuping Mountain, on the surface, the Zhao family was injured, but in fact, it was the prince who was hurt more deeply. Why?The interests of Yuping wine are dominated by the prince.

If the prince is behind Zhao Xun, then another line will be clear, An Xiang is also the prince behind!
That makes sense!
There is Wujianmen behind the third prince, and there is a dark fragrance behind the prince.

The two princes contending for the heir apparent are equal in overall strength, that's what it means to be equal, isn't it?

Lin Su raised his teacup: "Thank you very much!"

This thank you is sincere, because of Zhou Zhang's guidance, he finally located the Zhao family, such a guidance, ordinary people can't do it, because ordinary people can't know the secret inside story.

Zhou Zhang smiled slightly: "This is the first thing, and there is the second thing."

"Please say!"

Zhou Zhang sighed softly: "Your Wen Dao Aoki Order blocked the court officials' butcher knives from cutting at you, but it also turned their blades away. Your second brother is in trouble!"

Lin Su went up against the crime and was furious!
I still underestimated the shamelessness of the court officials. They couldn't take revenge on him, but they wanted to take revenge on his second brother. His second brother was insignificant in the entire chess game, not even a pawn, and still couldn't escape the court officials' revenge.

What does this mean?It shows that the court officials have completely lost their bottom line!
Zhou Zhang put down his teacup slowly: "This move is indeed a loss of the bottom line, but you can still expect them to have a bottom line? This move is not harmful, but it is very deterrent. If your second brother is robbed because of this, for other wait-and-see The people who are here are a warning, who dares to go against them?"

Lin Su's eyes flickered coldly: "You want to play a game of killing one and scaring others, right? Well, I'll play with them!"

Zhou Zhang stood up suddenly: "You can't mess around, you need to know that your Wen Dao Aoki Order is not omnipotent, as long as you openly violate the Holy Dao, they can use this as a reason to jointly ask the temple to deprive you of Wen Dao Aoki Ling, maybe they did this to irritate you and make you lose your mind and take that step."

"Don't worry! I know how to do it...Master Zhou, take your leave!"

Lin Su turned around and left the room.

Zhou Zhang stared blankly for a while, then slowly turned around: "Mei'er!"

There was no echo in the room, and Zhou Zhang was the only one in the empty room.

"Don't hide, your mother told me, you are in the room!"

As soon as the voice fell, a figure emerged from the air, it was Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei had a very excited expression on her face: "Mom! Are you here?"

A loud yell, no answer...

"Mother, come out." Zhou Mei circled around.

Still no reply.

Zhou Zhang smiled: "Your mother is not here, she just told me that if you are not sure whether you are here or not, it is best to assume that you are here!"

Zhou Mei was stunned, and jumped up after a while: "My mother is too much, is it interesting to keep plotting against me? Dad, let me tell you the truth, when I came back to you, it was actually my mother's plotting. It's not to protect you, she's making an excuse, she wants to come back and she's embarrassed to say, let me be a pivot in the middle..."

Zhou Zhang smiled even more happily: "It's fine, let's stop picking... Tell me, what are your feelings about this trip."

In a word, Zhou Mei became interested...

Lin Su's trip to Beichuan has become a secret shared by both of them...

Except for two things, the rest are all bamboo tubes pouring beans, which two things?One is the fact that Lin Su has broken his literary career; the other is that Lin Su wants to abduct her.

Zhou Zhang sighed a long time: "What an evildoer, he was able to solve the assassination situation, kill the demon king, and solve the strange case. All the Buddhist monks are empty, and he can do it?"

A voice came from behind: "I think it's not just the monk, our daughter seems to have been taken care of by him too! Master, you have to be careful, don't let others abduct our daughter."

With this sound, a middle-aged beautiful woman emerged from the air.

Zhou Mei's eyes were wide open: "Mother, didn't daddy say you're not here? You...you...what are you doing? You're obviously molesting."

"Yeah, my mother is so shameless in your mouth, what's the point of molesting you?" Mother patted her on the head, smiling like a vixen.

……

That day, it was already night, Lin Su put down everything and had a good sleep.

In the morning, he was on duty normally.

Inspectorate, as always.

Of course, it just looks the same as before.

When Lin Su walked through the passage to his office, he still felt strange gazes from all directions, but if he turned his head, these gazes would all be avoided.

This is already Lin Su's practice when he works in the Supervision Department.

He has become a different kind of officialdom, a colleague, and it is normal to look at him with the eyes of a monster. Comrade Xiaolin has a very low bottom line. As long as you don't follow the court officials to substantively suppress me, you will be cold-eyed and turn a blind eye every day.

In his office, Li San, the long follower, knelt down as soon as he saw him: "My lord! You are back!"

Lin Su closed the office door with his backhand, blocking the eyes from the outside.

As soon as the door was closed, Li San jumped up: "My lord, there are many things that I need to report to you."

"Tell me!"

"The first thing is urgent, your brother, they are planning to do something, and they are using the power of our Supervision Department..."

What?Lin Su was startled.

Did you use the power of the Supervision Department?

Exactly!Supervisory Director Chen Dong has just received an order from his superiors to leave Beijing within three days to investigate the crimes of Sanping County Magistrate Lin Jialiang's embezzlement and perverting the law.

Lin Su was furious, and used the power of the Supervision Department to investigate the elder brother of the Supervision Department official. Who is your mother disgusting?Also, his second brother was corrupt and broke the law? C Your family has eighteen generations of ancestors, and my second brother’s share dividends are tens of thousands of taels a year. My Lin family has so much money that I don’t know how to spend it. I’m greedy for your grandma’s legs. Are you too lazy to use your brains to find excuses if you plan to plant money?
This is no longer an ordinary game in the officialdom, it is a way to show power by tearing one's face.

"There are some other things, I will write them down here..." Li San unscrewed the hilt of his sword, skillfully took out a piece of paper inside, and handed the paper to Lin Su.

When Lin Su took the paper, there was a knock on the door...

Li San's hands trembled, and the hilt of his sword almost fell off.

"Go and open the door!"

Li San screwed on the hilt of his sword and went to open the door, and soon a voice came: "Master Chen!"

Lin Su, who was sitting behind the desk, put down a book in his hand, slowly raised his head, and a smile slowly appeared on his face: "Master Chen!"

The person who came was the Chen Dong they mentioned just now.

Who is Chen Dong?Supervisor Li and Li Zhiyuan are two extreme people.

Li Zhiyuan performed well in the scientific examination, but his promotion was surprisingly slow.

Chen Dong's grades in the scientific examination were poor, but he was promoted surprisingly quickly.

He entered the Supervision Department in the same year as Li Zhiyuan, and Li Zhiyuan was awarded the fifth rank for the first time, while he was at the seventh rank, three ranks behind.In the third year, he caught up with Li Zhiyuan, and in the fifth year, he surpassed Li Zhiyuan. Currently, he is at the fourth rank, equal to Lin Su.

If Lin Su, the number one scholar, hadn't become Qinglian's number one master, he would have been promoted two levels in a row not long ago, and his grade would have been much lower than him.

Such an official bull, right?
"Master Lin!" Chen Dong bowed slightly: "I heard that you have been traveling far and wide on business, it is really hard work."

Lin Su smiled and said, "With the errands of the Supervision Department on your shoulders, you also worry about your duty for the country. How can you talk about hard work?"

"That's true!" Chen Dongdao: "I have just accepted an errand, and the journey is really long, so it must be a hard job."

"Oh? I don't know what kind of errand Mr. Chen took?"

"The Supervision Department, what else can I do? It's all about offending people. Some people reported that Lin Jialiang, the magistrate of Sanping County, was corrupt and perverted the law. How can the law of the country tolerate it?" He seemed to have no idea that Lin Jialiang was the elder brother of the Lord Lin in front of him.

Li San's hands that poured the tea trembled slightly, but he still calmed down and completed the tea pouring smoothly, but his face turned pale already.

Lin Su still had a smile on his face, and gently handed the teacup in front of Chen Dong: "Master Chen's errand is not very good, but it is much simpler compared to my official, who just went to Beichuan some time ago. Do you know who it is targeting? Mr. Zhao Xun, Mr. Zhao! It’s really good luck to handle the case on the head of a second-rank official.”

Chen Dong nodded with emotion: "One side is the iron rules of the Supervision Department, and the other is a second-rank senior official. It is really difficult to choose. How did Master Lin end up on this road?"

"How else can we go? How dare we follow the laws of the country? I drove the Zhao family out of Beichuan. I took over the 30 mu of mountains and rivers that his family took away, and I cut off his family's property. Oh, yes Yes, I almost beat Zhao Xun's father."

Li San's calf trembled slightly.
