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

"Dawu is messed up enough, it can't be messed up anymore!"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "So, fighting a war is too worthless! That's why I tried my best to abolish this indemnity at all costs! It's for Your Majesty, for the country, for the common people !"

"I ask you, am I wrong?"

"You are not wrong! You did the right thing!" Mo Rushuang lowered her head in shame.

"Well, you finally said something human!"

Mo Rushuang: "..."

After thinking for a while, he asked, "But why open a treaty port and allow businessmen from the two countries to do business? I, Dawu, will also send scholars to preach and teach. Isn't this equivalent to strengthening their national power?"

"After they become stronger, what should we do if they attack us instead?"

"You are just one, you don't know the other!"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "Business between the two countries is beneficial to both countries, and it is even more beneficial to the Doro country! Because they have people, but lack a lot of materials, we can exchange materials for their labor!"

"To put it simply, we give him food, silver, and everything they need, but they have to work for us, and they have to work hard!"

"In this way, the people of the Doro Kingdom are all put in their jobs, do they still have the energy to fight? Moreover, after getting the supplies from my great military, life will be better, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Do you still want to fight? Once the war starts , their lives will be brought back to the past, do you think they will still be willing?"

Mu Rushuang shook her head: "They are absolutely unwilling!"

"That's right! As for preaching and teaching..."

"It is to educate them about the rites of Confucius and Mencius, the way of a sage, so that everyone can be educated and reasonable! When conflicts arise like this, everyone can sit at the negotiating table and reason, but use their fists instead!"

Lin Beifan spread his hands: "Look, this official made such a condition in order to avoid wars in the next few decades or even hundreds of years! It is equivalent to saving tens of millions of families and common people. The long-term peace has laid a solid foundation and created favorable conditions for the long-term stability of the Dawu Dynasty!"

"Tell me, is this officer wrong?"

"You... are not wrong!" Mo Rushuang lowered her head again in shame.

"Since it's all true, where do you start with treason?" Lin Beifan shouted.

Mo Rushuang panicked: "I've always heard what the common people said..."

Lin Beifan said disdainfully: "The vast majority of ordinary people are short-sighted and narrow-sighted. They only pay attention to immediate interests and do not consider long-term interests, which is not enough to seek!"

"If I really betrayed the country, would the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty not be able to see it? Would Her Majesty the Empress not be able to see it? You are the smartest group of people in the world, and the long-term stability of the country cannot be separated from them! They don't object, why just Can't think about it carefully, why don't they object? The whole imperial court is not stupid, right? "

"Hmm! You're right!" Mo Rushuang said resentfully.

"So, when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, you can ask more learned people. Don't follow others, or you won't know if you are sold out!"

"But, it seems that you also took money from the envoys of Doro..."

"What's this?"

Lin Beifan was excited: "I have paid so much for His Majesty, I have paid so much for Dawu, I have paid so much for the people of Li, so I can't enjoy myself?"

Mo Rushuang shrank her head guiltily.

Lin Beifan continued to be excited: "Look at me again. I have done so many good things, but in the end I have to bear so much infamy. Do you think I am suffering or not? If I don't take some benefits to compensate myself, what is the law? What is the justice? ?”

Mo Rushuang was scolded for being a bloody sprinkler.

I was so ashamed in my heart that I wished I could dig a hole in the ground and get in.

In the end, he had no choice but to escape.

"Mr. Lin, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry! I was so disturbed just now, I went back to my room to rest!"

Seeing the running figure of the other party, Lin Beifan chuckled: "Xiao Mian! You are much easier to deal with than those old foxes in the imperial court!"

He lowered his head and continued to practice calligraphy.

Not long after, Li Shishi came over with a cup of bird's nest with a smile on his face.

"Sir, the bird's nest is here! Drink the bird's nest first, then write!"

"Okay!" Lin Beifan nodded.

Putting down the brush, walked over, sat down next to Li Shishi, scooped up the bird's nest and took a sip.

Slightly frowning: "The taste is wrong! It wasn't made by you, nor by Xiao Cui!"

"It's really not my concubine and Xiao Cui, but Miss Rushuang!" Li Shishi smiled and said, "I know everything about you, and she feels very sorry, so she specially boiled bird's nest to apologize to you!"

"Yeah." Lin Beifan nodded and continued drinking bird's nest.

Li Shishi smiled and said: "Husband, your lord has a lot, so don't blame her! In fact, if you hadn't told me, I would never have thought that there were such far-reaching considerations behind the compensation! Only you, my husband, can see far-reaching! Only you really think about Dawu and the common people!"

After speaking, he looked at Lin Beifan with admiration and fascination.

I just feel that the person I marry is the best and most perfect wishful man in the world!

Lin Beifan couldn't help laughing: "I never blamed her! If I got angry because of such a trivial matter, I would have been pissed off by others! You know, there are too many people who misunderstand me, and too many people who hate me How can I explain it? I just do what I think is right, and I just want to have a clear conscience! What do I have to do with other people's thoughts?"

Li Shishi tightly grasped Lin Beifan's hand, and said emotionally: "Husband, no matter what the outside world thinks of you, no matter what the future holds, I will live and die with you as a concubine!"

Lin Beifan's mood was very agitated!

If you have a wife like this, what can your husband ask for?

Lin Beifan drank the bird's nest in two or three gulps, and then hugged Li Shishi.

"Lady, it's late at night, let's go to rest!"

"Well, please take pity on my husband!" Master Li blushed and bowed her head.

The two quickly returned to the room, and fell asleep without turning on the lights.

On the other side, Mo Rushuang couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Thinking of boldly questioning Lin Beifan today, he was so ashamed that he used his pillow face.

"I'm so stupid! I questioned Mr. Lin without thinking clearly. At that time, he must have thought I was stupid, right?"

The more I think about it, the more ashamed I become!

However, she has no regrets.

Because of this, she saw the truth of the matter clearly, and at the same time saw Lin Beifan's true face, which made her feel better suddenly.

"Mr. Lin is not a traitor, he has never betrayed the country!"

"Everything he said is for Dawu, for the people! However, people outside don't understand him, and he bears a lot of infamy for no reason!"

"Although he is greedy, what he is greedy is the money of corrupt officials, and he will never let go of the common people!"

"He is greedy for money, not without principles..."

At this time, Prince Hamu, who was far away in Doro country, sneezed suddenly.

Chapter 83 I understand your difficulties, I will not discriminate against you!

In the following days, every time Mo Rushuang saw Lin Beifan, her eyes would twinkle, feeling embarrassed.

However, Lin Beifan didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and treated her as before.

Asking about the cold and the warmth every day, and gossip about the family life, which made Mo Rushuang feel warm in her heart.

Usually, when the little princess is bored, she will come to play with Mo Rushuang and ask some things about the Jianghu.

Mo Rushuang knows everything and can say everything.

"I really envy you, you can freely walk around the rivers and lakes, see the splendor of the outside world, and do what you want to do, but I can only be trapped in the capital, and I can't go anywhere! Alas!" The little princess sighed while holding her cheek .

Mo Rushuang said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know how many people envy you, little Princess! You came from a noble family, and you grew up rich and well-clothed, unlike us, who have to work hard to make a living and run around for three meals a day!"

Mo Rushuang sighed: "To be honest, life outside is really bitter, harder than you imagined! I also have a force, so I can have a foothold in this turbulent world! Other ordinary people, they have neither Wealth has no power, let alone the opportunity to become a famous family, so we can only face the loess and back to the sky, plowing the fields day after day, life can be imagined!"

The little princess nodded if she realized something: "You're right! It's like what that bastard said, life is like a siege, people inside the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in!"

"Mr. Lin is absolutely right, he is indeed the champion of the three rounds!" Mo Rushuang sighed.

After thinking for a while, he asked insincerely, "Little Princess, can you tell me about Mr. Lin?"

The little princess curled her lips: "What can I say about this big villain? From the first time I met him, he made me angry! Until now, I don't know how many times I have been angry!"

"Since he is a big villain and still makes you angry, why do you still come to play with him?" Mo Rushuang laughed.

"Because although he is bad, he has a bottom line, unlike other people who are bad from head to toe! And it's really fun to play with him. Let me tell you, don't look at him as sanctimonious and serious, but he's full of stomachs. Bad water..."

The chatterbox of the little princess was opened, and he talked about Lin Beifan's "brilliant deeds" endlessly.

In the Guozijian, how to bully the yamen, how to steal money from them.

In the court, how to outwit all officials, how to annoy civil and military officials, there is nothing to do.

In the process of receiving foreign envoys, how to play with them.

……

Mo Rushuang could hear it with beautiful eyes.

Bullying the yamen who do all kinds of evil, outwitting the cunning and cunning officials, playing tricks on envoys with ulterior motives...

He has just become the number one scholar, and he is already doing well, playing around the court with ease.

It's wonderful, it's amazing!

In her heart, there is actually a trace of admiration!

However, the words of the little princess further confirmed her conjecture.

Lin Beifan is indeed a big corrupt official, but he is also a corrupt official with principles. He only deals with corrupt officials and powerful officials, takes money from them, and never offends the common people.

"Sister Rushuang, do you know why he was promoted a few days ago~?"

Mo Rushuang was puzzled: "Why? Outsiders say that officials protect each other..."

"That's not it!" The little princess held back a smile and said, "It's because he was too greedy, and he took away millions of dollars from those yamen! All the officials couldn't bear it, and there was nothing they could do about him, so they jointly recommended him. He was promoted to a higher rank and sent out of the Imperial College, so he can no longer take money from their children!"

"Ah? So that's how it is!" Mo Rushuang couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that this corrupt official has driven all civil and military officials to a dead end.

"However, sister Empress dotes on that bastard too much, or she did it on purpose, allowing him to be promoted to a higher rank, and he can continue to stay in the Imperial College, making all the officials so angry for several days! Hehe!" Xiaojun The Lord laughed too.

"Hehe..." Mo Rushuang also laughed.

"Lin Beifan is actually quite a good guy. He has literary talents and strategies, and he has done a lot of good things for my Dawu! But he is too greedy, so I have to pester him often, greed him in and eat it all out! "The little princess gritted her teeth.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, his kitchen is connected to the imperial dining room!" Mo Rushuang laughed.

"Hmph! It's up to people to do it. I believe it will be done one day!"

The little princess was inspired to fight, so she came over for a meal for several days in a row.

This brought about a very direct and very serious consequence, that is, the leftovers of Lin Beifan's family shrank rapidly, and they were not enough for the beggars outside, making Guo Shaoshuai, who had just become a beggar, greedy and hungry.

Ever since he ate the leftovers from Lin Beifan's family, he was no longer interested in other bad food, and felt that the food he ate before was rubbish.

So, every day, I guard the back door of Lin Beifan's house, waiting for them to feed.

But the work is so active, but the leftovers are getting less and less every day.

At the beginning, you can still eat duck meat, which is plump and juicy. When you bite down, your mouth is full of oil. It is delicious.

In the end, I could only gnaw on the duck rack. There was still some meat on the duck rack, but it was still delicious after a bite.

But now, even the bones are gone, how can he eat?

Beggars also have pursuits, don't they?

Finally one day, he couldn't take it anymore!

"Since I can't eat it outside, I will sneak in and eat it! Hehe!"

When no one was around, he used his lightness kung fu and easily jumped into Lin Beifan's mansion.

Carefully along the way, looking for the aroma of vegetables, I finally found the kitchen.

As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, my eyes lit up, and my saliva flowed down: "There are so many delicious foods, God is really kind to me! Today, I, Young Marshal Guo, must eat until I am full!"

He rushed over at the fastest speed in his life and picked up the trash can on the ground.

He stretched out his hand and took out a duck bone. He was very excited: "There is so much meat left, that's great!"

Immediately put it in his mouth, and started chewing intoxicated.
