Su Jin chatted with this group of people hotly, although in a small border town, the taste of the officials is not as bad as that of the officials in the metropolis, the interesting anecdotes and anecdotes of Tiannanhaibei are all topics they talk about, and this new Zhizhou Lord is young but seems to be a fellow practitioner, and when he talks, he is very spleen and stomach, although everyone is wary, but he has faintly regarded this Su Daren as his own person, and the atmosphere in the hall is harmonious.

Su Jin also ordered people to bring from Bianliang the pastries and food exquisite things as gifts to give some to the officials, this year's new tea Su Jin also brought a lot of over, one person sent a bag of new tea as a meeting gift, everyone is regarded as a treasure and thanked them repeatedly, the business route is not passable, tea and sweets for these officials are more happy than giving them gold, silver and jewelry.

After making a fuss for a while, Su Jin sent away the officials, sat alone in the hall and sneered, Ma Han rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said: "Why is the prince fighting with these guys, didn't you say that you want to check them well, and now that they are so hot, this group of people looks like the master who doesn't do business." ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Mo Hu said that whether to do the right thing or not is not to look at appearance, but to have evidence; I came here to be the governor, they are all my subordinate officials, so naturally they have to treat each other with courtesy, and besides, they gave me a thousand taels of gold and put it in the back hall of the government. ”

Ma Han was stunned and said, "Are your hands and feet so fast, have they all been sent to the inner hall?" But didn't the prince check it because of this thousand taels of gold? We're not short of this amount of money. ”

Su Jin smiled: "You know the temper of the master, let's not give it to the door in vain, to be honest, I still think they give less." ”

Wang Dynasty frowned and said: "Son, don't blame your subordinates for talking too much, this money is not taken for nothing, as the saying goes, courtesy must be asked for by others, take people's soft hands and eat people's mouths short, how to check if you receive other people's gold?" And all the people of the city will starve to death. ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Don't I know this truth, take it and check it, and besides, the master didn't ask for their gold in vain, didn't I send them tea and pastries?" This is something that they brought from the capital at the risk of being robbed, and they bought it as if they had spent money, but it was just a little more expensive, but this was a matter of being willing to be beaten, and I didn't force them to buy it. ”

Everyone was collectively petrified, it turned out that Su Jin gave them tea cakes was not a gift exchange, but sold to them as a commodity, this pastry tea is too expensive, so a little thing is not worth twenty taels of gold, it is actually worth a thousand taels of gold, it is worthy of being a businessman, and he is extremely treacherous.

Su Jinwu said to himself: "When the time comes, if anyone says that the master took bribes, you have to testify to me, but the master has sold them the things he worked hard to bring from Bianliang, and the things are scarce and expensive, they are actually quite worthwhile, give them money and they have no land to buy." ”

Everyone was speechless, looking at Su Jin with deep contempt in their eyes, Wang Chao took a breath and replied, "Then how can we find out the truth and obtain evidence?" I also ask my son to make it clear, I will wait to act. ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be busy, it's not good to startle the snake, this time the master wants to join the same stream, give them a black tiger to dig out their hearts, and let them say it themselves." ”

Wang Chao and the others hurriedly said: "Then what are we going to do?" Or I and a few brothers will go to the relief of the people. ”

Su Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't, you are familiar with these soldiers deployed locally first, your identity is the Praetorian Horse Army, as long as you are willing to make friends with them, they can't ask for it, but there is one, don't do good deeds, you can do things that bully people, let them think that you are just a bunch of scum and garbage, if they give you property, they will also accept it, just remember, every time you collect something, you must give back some gadgets, learn more from me, just as if they spent money to buy our things, In the future, there will be a story; You can ask Xiao Sui'er for something, but fortunately, we brought a lot of private goods, and if you save a little, you can exchange it for 180,000 yuan. ”

"Damn!" Everyone rolled their eyes, they didn't forget that they weren't things, and they pulled everyone into the water, and asked everyone to pretend to be scum and garbage, which really taught people to be unbearable.

Su Jin looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Master, what I said is the truth, not a joke at all, if any of you reveal the stuffing, it will be a big deal for you, but don't make a mistake; When you make friends with these people, you have a lot of close, vague inquiries about some information, they don't want to say or ask more, so as not to startle the snake, do you understand? ”

Everyone had no choice but to agree in unison.

……

The inner hall of the government is also neat and clean, a small square courtyard with two entrances, some flowers and trees are planted in it, and several ancient acacia trees are planted in the west, and a grape trellis is set up under the ancient acacia, which covers a large area of shade.

Su Jin walked into the inner hall with a gloomy face, Xiao Sui'er and Xia Siling had already set up a pot of wine and a few dishes of seasonal side dishes on the stone table under the grape trellis, and when they saw Su Jin come in, both of them stood up to greet them.

Su Jin sat on the stone bench, took the wine glass and drank it all, and sighed deeply.

"What's going on? Feeling bad? Xia Siling asked with concern.

Su Jin glanced up, Xia Siling was wearing a light yellow gown today, looking graceful and sexy, and a white gauze bandeau on her chest revealed a large white flower breast, and Su Jin's heart swayed strangely.

Xia Siling noticed that Su Jin's eyes were on his chest, and his face was slightly red, but he still straightened his chest, looking like he was observing.

Su Jin knew that he shouldn't bring his emotions into the inner house, man, no matter how strong the wind and rain outside, he couldn't frighten the family members in the backyard, so he adjusted his mood, pointed to the stool next to him and said: "Sit, you all sit, have a drink with me, I've been busy with the handover these days, and I don't have time to eat together." ”

Xia Siling glanced at Xiao Sui'er, but Xiao Sui'er sat beside Su Jin unceremoniously, picked up the wine jug and helped Su Jin fill it with wine.

Xia Siling slowly sat opposite Su Jin, frowned and asked, "Is it not going well on business?" Look at your sad face, take your time, the first time you become an official, you have nowhere to start, my father...... When my father was the first prefect of Huangzhou, he was like this, but then he became more comfortable. ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "What I said is that everything is difficult at the beginning, I understand, you don't have to worry about me, the place here is barren, there is not much to go, and the outside is not very peaceful, you are afraid that you will have to hold back for a while." ”

Xiao Sui'er said: "Don't worry, I don't know how satisfied Miss Xia and I are here, Sister Xia promised the little maid to teach the little maid to read, draw, and play the piano." ”

Su Jin looked at Xiao Sui'er's delicate little face and smiled: "Then isn't our Sui'er going to become a talented girl?" ”

Xiao Sui'er twisted and said: "The talented girl didn't think about it, she just listened to the young lady and a few sisters talking about poetry and painting together, the little maid didn't know anything, and she couldn't interject, but she was in a hurry." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "Then you should learn from Sister Xia, she is a famous teacher, if you can't become a high apprentice, won't you smash her signboard." ”

Xia Siling spatted and said: "What kind of famous teacher, when it comes to writing poetry, the son is an expert, don't forget that you are the champion of the dynasty." ”

Xiao Sui'er clapped her hands and said: "That's right, the little maid forgot, the prince taught me to compose poems and write lyrics, and the apprentices taught by Zhuangyuanlang will definitely not be bad." ”

Su Jin sweated at the waterfall, waved his hand and said: "I can't teach you, I myself am forced to be helpless, people say that ten years of cold windows means that reading is a chore, I finally got out, you don't push me into the fire pit." ”

Xiao Sui'er and Xia Siling covered their mouths and smiled, Zhuang Yuanlang who was so afraid of reading was really rare in the world, but Xiao Sui'er was just amused by Su Jin to relieve Su Jin's gloomy mood, this time seeing that Su Jin was talking and laughing, the goal was achieved, and naturally he would not be entangled again.

The three of them drank a few glasses of wine on a simple side dish, Su Jin naturally asked about someone giving a thousand taels of gold, Xiao Sui'er said: "I don't blame the little maid for this, the man put down the gold and left without a shadow, he couldn't even catch up, the little maid couldn't help it, the gold was placed on the table in the study, the little maid was right." ”

Su Jin smiled: "I don't blame you, it was a greeting gift for a subordinate official to honor me, I was afraid that I wouldn't accept it, so I could only cut it first and then put it down and run away." ”

Xia Siling frowned and said, "Brother Su still takes it and returns it to others, what do we want people to do with money?" I don't have to do things in the future. ”

Su Jin pointed tall and said: "Insightful, worthy of being a tiger girl." ”

Xia Siling glanced at Su Jin gracefully.

"But this time we accepted it, whoever sends us again in the future will not refuse, and I don't want someone to send money, is it a fool?"

Xia Siling asked, "Is Brother Su short of money?" The slave family has a lot of private houses, and the last time it was ...... Last time, I brought a lot of money out of the old house, if Brother Su wants to use it, the slave family will give it all to you. You can't be a corrupt official, you'll ruin your reputation. ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I have a purpose here, as for what kind of purpose, it is a business matter, and you will know it in the future; Besides, your private money is a dowry in the future, so how can I use your dowry money? ”

Xia Siling's face turned red, Xiao Sui'er was present, Su Jin actually said such a thing, Xia Siling couldn't be summoned at once; Xiao Sui'er stuffed a green vegetable into her mouth, puffed out her mouth and chewed, the look in her eyes changed, of course, most of them were white-eyed.

Su Jin looked at Xia Siling's shy look, his heart was happy, the cool breeze was blowing, and he drank a few glasses of wine, quite a fluttering feeling, looking at Xia Siling's beautiful face and delicate figure, he couldn't help but fly back to the valley pool, recalling the lingering compassion of that day, and suddenly his whole body was hot, so he hurriedly buried himself in drinking and eating, for fear that he would not be able to bear the daytime Xuan. Lewd.
