Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 568
King Lu Yang is the brother of His Majesty today, and naturally also the brother of the former Emperor.

When the first emperor came to the throne, he was named King Luyang.

His fiefdom at that time did not have Yanghu Lake, only Lushan and Yangjiang. After he arrived, he reported to His Majesty the First Emperor, saying that the river below was suffering from disasters every year. For a flood control dam, His Majesty the First Emperor issued an imperial decree to praise it, pulling out a million taels of silver to rectify the disaster.

What did King Luyang do?

Invite a master of cultivation at a high price, move mountains with one sword, and turn them into dams.

This incident alarmed His Majesty at the time, but His Majesty just laughed it off.

After all, using migrant workers to build a dam is essentially the same as asking a master to move a mountain with a sword, and no one is pursuing this matter.

When the first emperor was in power, this Yang Lake really brought blessings to the local people.

There is no such thing as getting stuck or charging water bills.

But after the death of the first emperor, King Lu Yang changed his face. Now His Majesty turned a blind eye to this, which led to the current situation...

Lin Su's heart was tumbling...

There is a saying that is good, the root of things in the world is often in the court.

The root cause of King Luyang's harm to Nanshan Mansion is the royal family.

He dared to act like this, and he must have been one of the heroes who won the throne back then. As a prince, he helped His Majesty ascend the throne.

Your Majesty has done too many things like this.

Dasumi helped him seize the throne, he acquiesced to Dasumi occupying the four towns, no, I am afraid that Dasumi did not acquiesce, but explicitly agreed!

Ding Jiye advised him to seize the throne, he acquiesced to Ding Jiye's enclosure in Sanping County, and his family monopolized [-]% of it!
King Lu Yang probably also helped him, so he tacitly allowed King Lu Yang to collect the water fee, which stuck the neck of Nanshan Mansion for nearly ten years!

"Your Excellency must have used some brains to see Yang Lake on the spot today." He Xingong said: "But please forgive me for not listening to you, Lu Yang's king tree has deep roots, and there is still a prince backing him. Your Excellency wants to deal with him. almost impossible."

"Almost impossible? Isn't there still a chance?" Lin Su laughed: "Master He, you have such confidence in this residence, which is quite rare!"

He Xingong's face was very troubled, do I have confidence in you?
It's not good at all to be honest?

I was just saying it politely...

The two stepped into the air and went to Qingtian County.

In a short time, he stepped into a small village.

This small village, with hundreds of households, is antique and original.

Surrounded by fields, the thatched huts are built into the hillside, and the chickens and dogs are barking, which is peaceful.

When asked about Cao Li, all the villagers were very enthusiastic, and a few old people stood up and led them there.

Along the way, they also enthusiastically introduced the prefect of Cao to the two literati masters—the former prefect (Lin Su and He Xingong did not wear official uniforms, but ordinary literati clothes. Even ordinary literati, in the eyes of the villagers, they are still big shot).

In their mouth, it is a different Cao Li.

What they emphasized was that the Confucian Cao from their village had a noble character, did not collude with the government, and had a dark officialdom. He resigned from office and retired to the countryside.

In their dictionary, celebrities in the world are actually very simple. They have no greed, no evil deeds, and do not oppress the people. They are celebrities in the mouth of the people, and they are worthy of praise.

It is a matter of character over and over again, and it naturally has another interpretation when it falls into Lin Su's ears.

These villagers searched their brains to list his deeds, but they all stayed at the moment when he resigned from office, or the time period when he was the magistrate, and did not mention anything after he resigned from office and went back to seclusion.

The villagers didn't mention this, and there was only one explanation, that he didn't do anything after he retired.

Apart from being an official and learning, he has nothing to do.

Now that his official position is gone, and no one asks him for his knowledge, he really is nothing.

There is a hillside in front, a small courtyard, and a hut, and the back mountain is close to the mountain spring. It is very elegant. This may be the difference between this great Confucian and ordinary villagers.

"Ma'am, is Mr. Cao here?" The old man raised his neck and shouted upwards.

This polite tone made Lin Su quite uncomfortable.

An elderly woman stuck her head out from the side of the fence: "Who... ah, heh... Mr. He!"

Her voice rose suddenly, obviously taken aback.

She is the former magistrate's wife, so she has met several senior officials in the magistrate's mansion, and He Xingong is one of her closest acquaintances, because He Xingong was originally the most trusted subordinate of the magistrate.

The husband resigned from office and went back to seclusion, and there were only seven or eight people in the entire Nanshan officialdom to send him off, and the leader among them was He Xingong.

Therefore, in the eyes of the former magistrate's wife, as long as He Xingong comes over, he is a distinguished guest.

She greeted her personally, and brought a girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old. The two of them ran downhill in rough clothes, and they were about to kneel...

He Xingong hurriedly waved his hand, and stopped with the mighty force of the literary way: "Old lady, I regard Mr. Cao as an official mentor, and you are my teacher's wife. Don't be too polite. Xingong greets my teacher's wife!"

In turn, he saluted first.

The old woman's eyes became hot all of a sudden: "Master He is so polite, how can I accept it? This..."

Her gaze shifted to Lin Su.

"This is Mr. Lin, the new prefect of Nanshan!"

With He Xingong's introduction, everyone was stunned...

Such a young scribe, everyone always thought he was a disciple or entourage of He Xingong, but unexpectedly he was the newly appointed magistrate.

Tom!All of a sudden, the folks behind Lin Su knelt down on the ground.

"Master Zhifu!"

"Master Zhifu!"

"I have met the magistrate..." The old lady also bowed immediately, but Lin Su also extended her hand, but she still couldn't do so.

Lin Su raised his eyes: "Ma'am, don't be too polite, and fellow villagers, don't be too polite. I, Lin Su, admire Mr. Cao's official character and character, and I came to pay my respects in private today."

As soon as these words came out, in the courtyard above, an old man lying on his side on the stone bar suddenly opened his eyes.

Lin Su stepped into the courtyard and saw Cao Li.

Cao Li, about half a hundred years old, dressed in a coarse cloth gown, with white beard and hair, stood under the acacia tree in the courtyard.

Lin Su took three steps forward, and Cao Li also took three steps.

"Cao Li, a rotten tree in the countryside, I have met the magistrate!"

"Haining Linsu, I met Mr. Cao!"

"But Qinglian's number one master, Great Cang champion Lang Linsu?"

"Don't dare! It's next!"

Cao Li's eyes flickered: "When I left my post, I also thought about who would come to take over this bad situation in Nanshan. I never thought that it would be Mr. Lin."

"You probably never thought that the new magistrate would come to invite you to come out of the mountain on the second day of his appointment!"

When Lin Su said this, not only Cao Li, but also Cao Li's wife and daughter, even He Xingong was shocked.

At the beginning of the departure, Lin Su only said that he was visiting Cao Li, but he never said that he would invite Cao Li to come out of the mountain!
In his cognition, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Li to leave the mountain.

He is a magistrate who said he would not do it, so how could he take up other positions in the magistrate's mansion again?
Once he leaves the mountain, he will immediately turn into a joke by taking advantage of the wave of literati bonuses brought by his resignation (indifference to fame and fortune is an excellent literary name, and literary name is a bonus to literati).

Be it the literary world or the political world, you will die laughing. Don't you, Cao Li, claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune?Can't live a poor life after going home for a few months?Barely begging for a new magistrate, and looking for another errand?
Such words, really don't cost money to buy, how can he, a noble literati, afford it?

Cao Li's face immediately changed: "Why did Lord Lin say such a thing? Since the old man has returned to the countryside, how can he come out of the mountain again?"

Lin Su smiled lightly: "Mr. Cao, when you retired to the countryside, didn't you leave a famous saying that shocked the world? Do you remember how you said it?"

Cao Li's face was full of blackness, the so-called exposing others but not revealing their shortcomings, you clearly know that my famous saying has become a joke, no one dares to come to learn from me, but you just mentioned it in person, what do you mean?
"You want to use your lifelong learning to teach the students of Nanshan, step into the officialdom in the future, and put down the chaos in Nanshan!" Lin Su said: "However, even today, you should also understand that your grand plan is ultimately a mirror image!"

Cao Li's face darkened suddenly: "Master Zhifu came to the door today just to laugh at the old man?"

The voice was low and depressing.

The girl who just crossed the threshold with the tea trembled suddenly, and the tea almost spilled over.

Lin Su said: "How dare you! I came to the door today, just to tell Mr. Cao that you don't need to wait for Nanshan's children to grow up slowly, and the great changes in Nanshan have already begun."

Cao Li fixed his eyes on Lin Su, and the air was completely frozen: "Has it started?"

"Exactly! Since Lin Su is the magistrate of Nanshan, Nanshan is bound to be turned upside down. If Mr. Cao is willing to leave the mountain, Yu Lin will be icing on the cake. Mr. Cao is not willing to leave the mountain, and it will not change the situation of Nanshan. However, Mr. Cao I will regret that I missed this wonderful event.”

Cao Li stared at Lin Su: "Nanshan is turned upside down...how can we turn it around?"

"The first step has been completed. Last night, 48 Nanshan bureaucrats headed by Du Tiangao were all dismissed, and the magistrates of seven counties were all dismissed!"

Cao Li's whole body was shaken...

Staring at Lin Su's eyes, I couldn't believe it...

is this real?
When he served as the magistrate, the biggest difficulty was that he was firmly locked up by this official website. His orders were changed beyond recognition if he could not get out of the magistrate's mansion. Du Tiangao and others controlled Nanshan Mansion and completely emptied him, which was in their interests. They handle things faster than anyone else, and they don't implement things that don't suit their interests. If you force them, they will rebound. As a result, he served as the magistrate for more than two years without accomplishing anything.

He hated these people, but there was nothing he could do with them.

Because they have Zhizhou Cao Fang behind them!And Lu Yang Wang secretly covered them.

Their black hands are everywhere, the whole house, all the counties, and all the lines are all in charge of the house, even in the government office, he always feels the threat of death.

He quit the officialdom, although he was persecuted by hundreds of clan elders, the bigger reason was that he was in the officialdom, and he didn't do anything well.

Now, the new magistrate told him that he had stabbed the most sensitive officialdom in the most sensitive place as soon as he took office. No, this was not a stab, it was directly overthrowing the entire Nanshan officialdom.

"Master Cao, don't doubt it!" He Xingong stepped forward, took the tea from the girl, and brought it to the two adults who looked like fighting cocks, and added: "What Master Lin said is absolutely true. It's a big earthquake!"

Cao Li took a deep breath, and slowly stretched his eyes to the sky: "Master Lin's wrist is so powerful, I am ashamed that I can't match it! What do you want me to do?"

"After an earthquake, the officialdom was emptied, and the government doesn't know who else is available in Nanshan. I want Mr. Cao to come out of the mountain as a teacher and guide the government."
