I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

Eat his dregs!

If it gets out, how can you save face?

At that time, his face turned black, and he wanted to turn his head and leave.

But at this moment, the back door opened.

He walked out carrying a big bucket full of leftovers.

The eyes of the beggars suddenly lit up, and they rushed over one after another. Young Marshal Guo, who was about to leave, was dragged forward.

"Wow! Come out so early today!"

"There are so many dishes left, I'm lucky today, haha!"

"I can smell the fragrance from afar!"

"Today is really cool!"

……

Dali yelled: "Eat what you eat, but don't make this place dirty, lest I go back and wash it again!"

"Master Dali, don't worry, we will definitely feed you clean!"

He nodded vigorously, walked back into the house, and closed the door.

After Dali left, the beggars went crazy and couldn't wait to reach into the trash can to grab food.

"Wait, everyone, don't worry! It was Xiaoshuai who led us to defeat the other beggars, and he contributed the most, so let Xiaoshuai picky eaters first!" The old beggar shouted loudly.

The old beggar was very prestigious. After he finished speaking, everyone stopped and looked at Young Marshal Guo.

"Xiao Shuai, you eat first, we will eat after you eat!"

Guo Shaoshuai shook his head: "I won't eat it, you guys can eat it!"

"If you don't eat it, how can I have the nerve to eat it?"

Guo Shaoshuai shook his head again: "Don't bother me, I will definitely not eat!"

"Stop moaning, eat quickly, we'll be waiting for you!"

Guo Shaoshuai held his head high, with a firm face, and said loudly: "I tell you, I will stand upright all my life and be an upright person! Even if I die, I will never eat a piece of food from Lin Beifan, a dog official!"

"Eat it for me!"

A chicken leg suddenly found in Guo Shaoshuai's mouth.

Guo Shaoshuai couldn't help chewing twice.

The beggars asked anxiously, "How does it taste?"

"Oh my god, it smells so good!"

Guo Shaoshuai chewed vigorously while being intoxicated: "It's soft and delicious, full of aroma, and it's full of oil after one bite. It's delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious chicken drumstick in my life!"

"Let me tell you, I want this chicken, and none of you will try to snatch it from me!"

The beggars were overjoyed: "Good!"

So, all the chicken was given up for Young Marshal Guo to eat.

Guo Shaoshuai took one bite, and wants to have a second bite!

After the second bite, I still want to eat the third!

After the second bite, I still want to eat the third!

……

Just can't stop!

After eating, Guo Shaoshuai felt refreshed and shut himself up!

Facing the wall, tears of regret flowed down my heart: "I didn't expect that I, Young Master Guo, would one day compete for the leftovers of the dog official Lin Beifan! And it tastes so delicious, so delicious, so refreshing... Shame!"

"I, Young Marshal Guo, have become the person I hate the most!"

"However, this is just an accident!"

Guo Shaoshuai opened his eyes, and his expression became firm: "From tomorrow onwards, I will definitely resist Lin Beifan's temptation! No matter what leftovers he throws out, I will not give in! I must not be moved by poverty, and I will not be subdued by might. You can't be promiscuous if you are rich, be an upright and upright man!"

At this time, a voice came from a distance: "Xiao Shuai, will you still eat chicken tomorrow?"

Guo Shaoshuai blurted out: "Duck tomorrow, thank you!"

"Okay, I will save duck meat for you tomorrow!"

Young Marshal Guo: "..."

……

the other side.

Since she ate and drank well at Lin Beifan's house, and had enough nutrition, Mo Rushuang recovered from her injury very well.

One more person in the family cannot be hidden, so Mo Rushuang was discovered by the little princess who often ate and drank.

However, this little girl's thinking is unusual.

Thinking that what the other party did was a chivalrous thing, not only did not report it, but also brought good wound medicine from home.

As a result, Mo Rushuang recovered faster and was able to walk on the ground.

Everyone here is very kind to her, and Mo Rushuang feels the long-lost warmth and is very attached to her.

Especially a certain person, who was handsome, learned many things, had an extraordinary conversation, cared for her, took good care of her, and left an indelible mark in her heart.

But when she thought that the other party was the corrupt official she hated the most, or a traitor, she felt very sad...

So one day, she came to the study, looked at Lin Beifan who was writing, and couldn't help but ask, "Young master Lin, when I came to the capital, people outside said that you are a big greedy person who has stolen countless money!"

Lin Beifan looked up at her with calm eyes: "That's the case, what's the problem?"

"Why are you so greedy?"

Mo Rushuang took a step closer, looked at Lin Beifan's clear eyes, and said earnestly, "You have been favored by His Majesty the Empress, you have been promoted to a noble position, and you can enjoy endless glory and wealth. What do you do for so much money? You know, you The greedy ones are all the fat and anointing of the people! The more you are greedy, the more the people will suffer!"

"You say I'm greedy for money, whose money am I greedy for?" Lin Beifan asked back.

"The money from Zuo Xiangquan, the minister of the household department, the money from all the speech officials, and the money from the students of the Imperial College!" Mo Rushuang said.

"You said it yourself. I have been greedy for Zuo Xiangquan's money, officials' money, and Guozijian students' money. What does it have to do with the common people? When did I greedy for a penny from the common people?" Lin Beifan asked back.

"This..." Mo Rushuang was dumbfounded.

Thinking about it carefully, the other party seems to have never been greedy for a penny of ordinary people!

What he is greedy is the money of corrupt officials, or the money of people related to corrupt officials!

For the common people, it seems that Qiu never offends!

"But it's wrong to be greedy for money..." Her voice weakened a little.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Beifan asked again: "The whole court is greedy, why can't I? If they are not greedy, do I have a chance to be greedy? If I am not greedy, should I leave it to others? If so, why don't I pretend to be greedy?" pocket?"

"Could it be that they are all cheaper than those corrupt officials?"

Lin Beifan asked a question: "Let them eat well, drink well, and sleep well, and then continue to slash the common people energetically, is that right?"

"This..." Mo Rushuang was once again speechless.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that what the other party said seemed to make sense.

The whole court is greedy, why can't he?

They are not greedy, do they have a chance?

I am not greedy, should I leave it to others?

Let them eat well, drink well, sleep well, and then energetically cut the common people?

So, why don't I put it in my pocket?

Mo Rushuang's heart was greatly shocked!

I feel that the outlook on life, morality, and worldview that I have always upheld has been completely shaken!

"So, I have to be greedy! For the common people, I don't want to be greedy, but I have to be greedy!"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "At least, compared with them, I'm already honest and upright, and I haven't taken a penny from the common people! I have no shame in my heart!"

Mo Rushuang opened her mouth, speechless!

There was silence for a moment.

Mo Rushuang asked: "But Mr. Lin, why are you betraying the country?"

"When did I betray my country?" Lin Beifan raised his head and asked.

"Just before, the envoys of the Doro Kingdom came to Beijing to discuss compensation!"

Mo Rushuang said: "I heard from others that you took the benefits of the envoys of the Doro Kingdom, argued hard in the court, and finally canceled all the negotiated compensation of more than 300 million yuan! You also opened the treaty ports to promote Doro The development of commerce and trade in the country! There are also sending scholars to set up schools in Doro country to preach and teach..."

"These conditions are all harmful to me, but not beneficial to me, and they are not harmful to Duoluo Baili!"

Mo Rushuang was agitated and asked loudly: "Young Master Lin, are you worthy of His Majesty's favor? Are you worthy of the people of Liming? Are you worthy of the soldiers who died in the frontier?".

Chapter 82 I have done so much for the country, can't I enjoy it?

"Of course I'm sorry!"

Lin Beifan smiled softly: "In this world, there is no one who is more worthy of His Majesty, the people of Li, and the soldiers who died in the frontier than I am!"

Mo Rushuang looked at Lin Beifan in shock.

Never thought that such words would come out of his mouth!

You have betrayed the country, but you are still worthy?

While writing, Lin Beifan said, "I want to ask you, is the annual compensation of 300 million yuan a lot for the Doro Kingdom?"

"Many!" Mo Rushuang nodded without hesitation: "As far as I know, the Doro Kingdom is just a small country under the influence of the Great Wu Dynasty. The land is barren, the resources are scarce, the population is more than tens of millions, and the annual revenue of the treasury is only 800 million taels of silver. If there is a bad year, the income will be reduced! The compensation of 300 million yuan has already taken up half of the treasury income!"

Lin Beifan nodded: "It seems that you are not so ignorant! Then I will ask you again, how do you think the Doro Congress will raise this huge sum of money for the annual compensation of 300 million?"

Mo Rushuang said without hesitation: "First allocate funds from the treasury! If the silver is not enough, we can collect from the private sector through taxes and fees to make up the money!"

Lin Beifan asked, "I'll ask you again, are the people of Doro Kingdom suffering?"

Mo Rushuang nodded: "Naturally, it's hard! Their conditions are so harsh that it's even difficult to farm! My people in Dawu can barely solve their food problems by farming, but they can only rely on the sky for food!"

Lin Beifan asked again: "If there are 300 million more every year, do you think it is hard?"

Mo Rushuang nodded again: "It will only be more bitter, and I may not be able to survive!"

Lin Beifan asked three times: "If it were you, what would 07 do if he couldn't survive?"

Mo Rushuang didn't hesitate: "Naturally, it's resistance!"

At this moment, Mo Rushuang was stunned!

Lin Beifan smiled slightly: "Look at you, if you can't survive, you will resist, let alone the people of Doro Kingdom? If they want to resist, who will they fight? Naturally, it will be Dawu who makes them bear a huge burden and destroys their hope of life!"

Mo Rushuang said nothing.

"So, this compensation is actually a letter of war!"

Lin Beifan sighed: "The people of Doro Kingdom can't take it anymore, they will definitely rise up and settle accounts with us Dawu! In the border areas, there will definitely be another war! This time is estimated to be no more than three years!"

"The peace we bought with tens of thousands of soldiers, this hard-won peace, was destroyed for a mere 10 million taels a year. Do you think it's worth it?"

"It's not worth it!" Mo Rushuang's voice became weak.

"Of course it's not worth it, and it's very not worth it!"

"To launch a national war, the materials and silver taels consumed will definitely reach tens of millions! This is still a visible loss of benefits, and what cannot be seen behind it will be even greater, with far-reaching consequences!"

"And the number of people sacrificed is in tens of thousands! Countless families have been destroyed, and countless people have been displaced!"

"It will also cause national turmoil and social instability, affecting people's daily necessities of life!"
