Hope for luck

Chapter 38 Change the door
Seeing Steward Du leave the county office, Yin Weian walked into the back office.

In his heart, he was thinking about whether to tell Gao Pan his inner guess.

When he returned to the Houya, Yin Weian looked at the courtyard on the left, shrunk his neck, and finally did not dare to go in. Instead, he entered the middle courtyard, which was the office room where Gao Pan was located.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard Gao Pan patiently teaching Peng Ming how to read and write.

Seeing the scene of Gao Pan tirelessly telling Peng Ming how to read, Yin Wei'an suddenly had an illusion in his heart.

Zhou Zhengxin had worked in Dantang County for many years, but in the end he was defeated by this young man who was not yet a weak crown.

Even if Yu Zongqi was such an unscrupulous gangster, Gao Pan didn't save him any face, he would withdraw as soon as he said it!
When facing those troublesome Xiangyongs, Gao Pan never drags his feet, kills decisively, and wins directly!

Thinking of this, Yin Weian suddenly felt, should he change his family?

Gao Pan is still just a teenager, but he has such a heart, and in time, he will definitely become a master, so why should he fight against him?
After figuring out some things, Yin Wei'an instantly felt a lot more comfortable, and waited for Gao Pan to teach Peng Ming, and then came to Gao Pan respectfully to report:

"My lord, the Du family has already cleared the IOU, and the accounts with Peng Ming and his siblings will be cancelled!"

Gao Pan heard the subtle change in Yin Weian's words, and smiled lightly: "Good job!"

Hearing this, Yin Weian wanted to remind Gao Pan that the Du family would definitely not let it go so easily. After all, the third master of the Du family, Du Xiangming, was still being imprisoned in the county government prison!

From Yin Weian's point of view, with the Du family's past style, the Du family has never done such a humble move!
However, Yin Wei'an still took out a few liang of silver and put it on Gao Pan's desk, Chen Ken said:
"My lord, last time Yuan Ronggui donated a total of 28 taels of silver to my lord. Yesterday and today's expenses totaled 22 taels of silver. The remaining six taels of silver are all here. Please count them, so as not to say The lowly position is greedy for ink!"

On the way back to Houya, Yin Weian already understood that before Gao Pan asked him to accept Yuan Ronggui's bribe, it wasn't because he was ignorant or he didn't dare to accept it himself!

The purpose was to make Zhou Zhengxin suspicious of himself in that scene just now, but the fact is that he never used Gao Pan's money at all, and Zhou Zhengxin will definitely not trust him again from now on!

After thinking about this, Yin Wei'an secretly exclaimed, Gao Pan is only a small move, but it is a small step, which makes people hard to guard against!
In this way, Yin Weian thought, return all the remaining money to Gao Pan, so as not to cause any misunderstandings in the future, and also made Yin Weian wiser, not to be greedy anymore!

Gao Pan glanced at the few taels of silver, and smiled softly:
"Master Yin, when did I say that I would take back my money?"

After hearing this, Yin Weian said with a bitter face:
"My lord, I don't pay more than two taels of silver a month for a humble job, and I withdraw money from a villain from time to time, a humble job... even if I go bankrupt, I can't give it all!"

Hearing this, Gao Pan knew that Yin Weian already knew the consequences of being too greedy, so he put away his smile and said seriously:
"Now you know your mistake?"

After hearing this, Yin Weian nodded like pounding garlic:

"I know I was wrong, my lord, please take back the money. I will never accept bribes again from now on!"

"Hmph, thank you for knowing that this is ill-gotten gain!" Gao Pan reprimanded, then raised his eyebrows and said:
"Just this one time, don't take it as an example, put it away, I don't need my subordinates to send money to pay tribute, it's not good to spread it!"

Hearing this, Yin Weian was taken aback for a moment, then stared at Gao Pan, seeing that Gao Pan didn't seem to be telling a lie, his little thoughts sprouted again.

Looking at the few taels of silver on the case table, he swallowed, but didn't dare to take it back.

"What's the matter? Is it necessary for the official to deliver it to you personally?"

Seeing this, Gao Pan felt a little funny, and subconsciously teased.

Only then did Yin Weian show embarrassment, and quickly put the few taels of silver back into his pocket, but a warm current surged through his heart.

This is the first time he has been a teacher for so long, he gave himself money, and forgave himself, which made Yin Wei'an suddenly feel a little bit like dying for his confidant!
Gao Pan watched his every move, although he had only been in contact with Yin Wei'an for two or three days.

But after Gao Pan observed Yin Wei'an, he found that apart from being a bit stingy and greedy for money, he didn't have any major character problems.

Right now, he has just stabilized the situation in the county government, and it is time for him to employ people. As Yin Wei'an is a special kind of official in the county government, Gao Pan feels that if he uses it properly, he may be able to use it and find a new replacement in the future. It's never too late to change!

As for the relationship between Yin Weian, Zhou Zhengxin, and the Du family, Gao Pan felt that they might be able to use one or two of them.

Therefore, Gao Pan did not make things difficult for Yin Weian anymore, but asked him to accept the remaining taels of silver, and promised that he would never open his mouth to withdraw money from Yin Weian again.

Yin Wei'an, who accepted only a few taels of silver, felt as if he had been bought by Gao Pan at this moment. He only felt in his heart that he should assist Gao Pan well!

"My lord, the Du family has always been domineering in Dantang County, and they are used to being unreasonable. Now Du Xiangming is being imprisoned in the county government by my lord. Faced with the usury that should be recovered from 500 taels, they only want 13 taels. The humble official feels that Du The family is very abnormal, the adults should have prepared earlier!"

Now that his heart is towards Gao Pan, Yin Weian quickly told Gao Pan about his previous suspicions.

Upon hearing this, Gao Pan looked at Yin Wei'an in surprise:
"Thank you, Master Yin, for reminding me, but I don't know what is the relationship between Master Yin and the Du family?"

"Returning to my lord, there is no deep relationship, it's just that the Du family is powerful in Dantang County, and the lowly position is just like other small officials, just curry favor, even so, it's just a familiar face in front of Du Xiangjun, that's all !"

Yin Weian quickly put aside his relationship, looked at Gao Pan nervously and said.

"So that's the case, so in your opinion, what does the Du family want to do when they are so abnormal?"

Gao Pan rubbed his chin, nodded hesitantly and said.

"My lord, this is nothing more than two points. First, let your lord really think that the Du family is submitting to your lord's prestige, but secretly thinking of giving your lord a blow!"

At this moment, Yin Weian finally played the role of his master and analyzed the situation for Gao Pan.

"Secondly, in order to calm down the matter, the Du family had to be so obedient, and suffered this 'dumbness'!"

As soon as Yin Wei'an finished speaking, Gao Pan took the words and said coldly:
"Misappropriating other people's property, ruining their families, the original debt was only more than a dozen taels, and the rolling interest has become a huge usury of 500 taels. Is this a 'dumb loss'? I don't know, if this is considered a 'dumb loss', then Everyone in the world suffers, is it all?"
