Although Liu Shilang was moved, he was not carried away by the beautiful blueprint planned by Su Jin for him, and it was naturally gratifying for the court to reward him for promotion and wealth, but some things can only be thought about, and he must not leak a little bit of tone; But seeing that the opportunity for meritorious service and promotion is just around the corner, it's a pity to lose it, how can I think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

Su Jin has long been suspicious of Liu Shilang, this person has been mixed from a cell boss to the fat shortage of deputy Cangsi, if there is no dirty affair with Zhu Shiyong, then there will be a ghost; Although the deputy Kuraji is not a big official, what is the position of Kuraji? It can be shocking to say, such a small department is actually in charge of Changping, Yicang, exemption from service, market change, workshop, river crossing, water conservancy and other affairs, and what is even more incomprehensible is that it is still in charge of the affairs of the officials.

Of course, there are some things that can't be studied deeply, and the power is quite big, but in fact, it is mainly based on Yicang City, and other rights are basically divided by other departments, which is already a tacit matter for everyone.

Even so, this position is also an important position in the eyes of the chief officer, but all the state capital's materials in and out of the deployment, collection and distribution must be registered and reported by the warehouse department in and out of the detailed registration and reporting.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the prefect is the chairman, and the Kuraji Tsunehei is the chief financial officer, which is self-explanatory.

Why did Zhu Shiyong promote this Liu Shilang to the position of Cangji; A cell boss, not famous, not from a scholar's background, and a pickled goods who put away bribes without blinking, what is the basis?

Of course, Su Jin didn't expect that Wu Wuge was killed by this person, all he thought was that there was any other connection between the two, either relatives or Liu Shilang used money to buy it. Officer, in short, it's not normal.

Su Jin also had no intention of pursuing it further, his purpose was just to win over Liu Shilang and extract some valuable information from his mouth, he didn't know Liu Shilang's unspeakable secrets; If he knew that Liu Shilang was involved in a murder case, he would never take the initiative to tell the deeds of Cangji, he would have stopped talking about this person a long time ago.

Seeing Liu Shilang's itchy and itchy appearance, Su Jin said with a smile: "When it comes to this, I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, it seems that the grain affairs in Luzhou are really smooth sailing, and there is nothing to boast about, so I will play it as it is." ”

Liu Shilang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, adults, there are naturally twists and turns, but they are all trivial things; As you said, how can a businessman be so obedient, and the prefect and the lower officials have also put a lot of thought into it. ”

Su Jin clapped his hands and said: "Isn't this over, just tell me three or five things about your outwitting profiteers, and my little polishing will be a great credit; The question is not whether you can do things well, but whether you have taken measures and used your ingenuity to get things done, not so much to do things as to show your abilities; Otherwise, how to teach you how to give you a reward? ”

Liu Shilang said in his heart: Damn, there are so many ways to be an official, and I don't know if this kid realized it, or if the official face is this set of rules; But in any case, no one has ever told him about these things, and this kid has not treated himself as an outsider after all, so he should believe him for three points.

Liu Shilang lowered his head and pondered, and Su Jin inspired him on the side: "The largest ones in the grain tun, are they a little difficult?" Did I get into an argument with you? ”

Liu Shilang hurriedly said: "That's not true, the most grain is Tang Ji, Liu Ji, Huang Ji, these three people have a very personal relationship with the prefect, it is said that the hoarding of food is also for the purpose of relief at a critical time, the imperial edict came, the prefect invited these three to drink, and the matter was done; The next day, they sold all the grain to the officials, and they didn't say a word. ”

Su Jinxin said: This guy lied without blinking an eye, it seems that he is a person who knows the inside story.

But this was not the time to disturb him, so he slowly followed his words and said with a smile: "The three presidents of the Chamber of Commerce have always been benevolent and righteous, and it is not surprising that they take the initiative to sell grain; What about the other homes? There should be a lot of merchants, you just have to say, don't scruple, even if it involves me Su Ji; However, the grain in Su Ji's warehouse was transported to Yangzhou by me for relief, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make trouble if I want to.

Liu Shilang hurriedly said: "That is, Su Ji is an adult's industry, how can there be no food, and the lower officials are bold, and they don't dare to make up their minds at your house." ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "I said this, as if I was the first person to violate the meaning of the Holy Edict, I advise you to go to my family's various grain stores and warehouses tomorrow, I can't gossip behind people's backs." ”

Liu Shilang hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you, I have already seen it, there is no grain stockpiling, but the amount of grain store business is maintained, which is within the normal range." ”

Su Ji said: "This is about the same, my Su Ji is mainly engaged in cloth and clothing, and it is a small business, how can it be that a large businessman has a huge amount of money to hoard food?" ”

Liu Shilang said: "What Master Su said is true. ”

Su Jin said: "Can you remember who refused to give grain?" ”

Liu Shilang said: "There is such a family, at that time he was unwilling to make grain, the Chamber of Commerce President Tang and they went to persuade each other, not only did he not buy it, but also quarreled with President Tang and them, the angry President Tang and others brushed their sleeves away, and then the prefect ordered me to take two hundred soldiers to forcibly collect his grain into the warehouse, and beat him dozens of boards. ”

Su Jin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Who is this person?" ”

Liu Shilang said: "He is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and his family business is not small, called Lang Yongping, known as Lang Shaodong; Originally, he was also a powerful person in Luzhou City, but this time he tore his face with President Tang, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the future. ”

Su Jin said: "Is it difficult to gain a foothold? ”

Liu Shilang was shocked and quickly stopped: "Don't believe my nonsense, my lord, I'm just casually guessing, I don't know if this matter is considered a credit." ”

Su Jin Zhengse said: "Count...... Why don't you count, all the box soldiers are used, isn't this a big deal? I made a note of this, and I had to polish it more intensely and excitingly before I could report it. ”

Liu Shilang said: "If you have the opportunity to rise this time, the grace of the adults will be unforgettable, and I will honor you in the future." ”

Su Jin smiled: "I am also from Luzhou, what are you talking about?" is still the same sentence, I also want our Luzhou to have more talents, firstly, the imperial court needs talents, and secondly, it is also the pride of our Luzhou Mansion in the officialdom; If you think about it, everyone in the world knows that there is a Master Bao in our Luzhou Mansion, and it is not impossible to have another Lord Liu. ”

Liu Shilang was confused by Su Jin's brain, and he was really happy in his heart, he didn't think that he could compare with Master Bao, he just grinned.

Su Jin scolded secretly in his stomach, this guy really treats himself as a green onion, there are many doubts about this person, how to become a cangsi is a doubt, just now he tried his best to protect the Chamber of Commerce and others is another doubt.

Su Jin was a little skeptical that this person was the person who was inserted into the yamen by the Chamber of Commerce, but in a blink of an eye, he rejected his speculation, the Chamber of Commerce would not do this, and Zhu Shiyong would never agree, in the final analysis, Zhu Shiyong and the Chamber of Commerce should be a complex relationship that is both collusion and defense, both close and distant, Zhu Shiyong can kill people for the Chamber of Commerce, but it is impossible to let the Chamber of Commerce plant nails around him; This person should just be a pure Zhu Shiyong person.

Su Jin wanted to stay and ask for more information, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside the tea shed, and a servant rushed over and muttered in Liu Shilang's ear.

Liu Shilang glanced at Su Jin, waved his hand to let the official leave, got up and arched his hand and said: "Lord Su, it's really rude, just now someone from below came to report, saying that the prefect is in a hurry to see me, and I can only talk to the adult here today, but the adult is in Luzhou during this time, and in a few days, the official will personally set up a banquet for Lord Su, and then listen to the teachings of the adult." ”

Su Jin smiled and arched his hand: "Since it is summoned by the prefect, there must be an emergency, and Liu Cangsi will take care of himself." ”

Liu Shilang confessed and left in a hurry.

Su Jin stood up and walked out of the tea shed, there was the sound of ping pong cleaning up the tables and chairs behind him, Liu San began to dismantle this thief's den, Su Jin understood that this was for him to see, otherwise why was he still at the door, so he began to clean up the table tennis, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and took the dynasty to follow the flow of people, and went straight to the front to find Yan Biyun and others.

I walked all the way to the entrance of the City God Temple, turned around several times, and saw Yan Biyun and others in front of a cigarette-filled incense copper stove.

Yan Biyun, Rou Niang and others all kowtowed devoutly, and the companions stood aside with snacks in their hands and pointed around.

Su Jin walked over and stood behind Yan Biyun, wanting to hear what she prayed for, but was exposed by Ma Han's loud voice: "Master, why did you come?" What to say to that kid. ”

Su Jin said: "What do you know, the master has his own reason." ”

Yan Biyun got up and said to Su Jin after praying: "I knew you were coming, so I specially waited for you here to make incense." ”

Su Jin smiled: "How do you know? ”

Yan Biyun smiled: "I saw a person, so I knew that you couldn't talk to that Liu cellor." ”

Su Jindao: "Who is it?" ”

Yan Biyun said: "The prefect of Luzhou, I saw him talking to the officials who were patrolling at the gate of the temple. ”

Su Jin understood, Zhu Shiyong must have heard the official say that Liu Shilang was drinking tea and chatting with him, so he was naturally afraid that he would ask what he would say, so he hurriedly patted the official to stir up the situation; This Liu Shilang didn't tell a lie, it was really Zhu Shiyong who summoned him.

Su Jin smiled: "No wonder, I'm afraid I'll scare him to death, and next time this Liu Shilang can't get anything out of his mouth." ”

Xiao Sui'er pouted and said: "Son-in-law is thinking about business all day long, and when he finally came out to play, these things are also on his lips, so boring." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault, let's stop talking about business, and go shopping; I also came to pay a stick of incense to the city god and ask the city god to bless him. ”

Yan Biyun smiled: "What do you ask the City God to bless for?" ”

Su Jin smiled and said softly, "Guess ......"

Yan Biyun's face turned red and she took a sip; Su Jin smiled, grabbed a pillar of incense, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner, lying on the futon and kowtowing respectfully.
