Chapter 384: Secret Conversation (I)
(Book friends, lay eggs!) Happy! )
"The imperial court has a will, and the prefect can't help but follow it, but you are also meritorious people, you are diligent in doing errands on weekdays, and there are no major mistakes in official duties, as for the matter of deducting soldiers' salaries, it may be an important matter for the Northwest Front, but here in us, these things are not even on the table." Su Jindao.
"Then why do you want to suspend our post and announce it in front of many brothers, how can this make the lowly people calm?" Pan Jiang muttered.
Su Jin said: "You don't understand this, the prefect's cleverness is here, and the high-profile announcement of the suspension of the two heads of the capital is a cover-up move, that is, to tell others that the prefect is moving the real thing, lest someone overstep the level and say that the prefect is inactive, if the above sends another official down to investigate, the matter will not be so easy to think about." ”
Pan Jiang shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, it's not that I have been made a scapegoat, and now even the temporary head has been promoted, what's the use of saying this?" ”
Su Jin asked: "Two conductors, do you understand what 'pause' and 'temporary' mean?" When have you ever heard of the position of 'Temporary Commander'? Haven't you thought about that? ”
Pan Jiang Pan Shiyi's head shook like a yellow leaf in the wind, indicating that he didn't understand at all.
"The so-called suspension of your post instead of dismissal on the spot is a delaying tactic of the Lord of the Mansion, and the person who is suspended does not need to report it in writing, that is to say, there is no way to know about this matter at all, to say a big disrespectful word, the edict of the imperial court, which time is not a gust of wind, but it is in the limelight at the moment, can it be done without making some gestures? As soon as the rumors passed, the Lord of the Mansion would announce in public that after it was verified that you and others were not greedy for money and money, and that the money withheld was the soldiers' spontaneous meeting to prepare for mutual aid and emergency relief. ”
The so-called 'Shanghui', Pan Jiang and others still understand, the folk are also more prevalent, the poor people spontaneously form a meeting for more than ten households, each family spontaneously contributes hundreds of copper coins per month to the head of the meeting, accumulates a lot, there are several huge sums of money every month, and then distributes them to a family every month in order, so that each family can get a huge amount of money when they get it, and they can do a big thing, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is the meaning of accumulating a lot of money and accumulating a lot of zero.
Pan Jiang, Pan Shiyi and the others smiled happily when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that Lord Fuzun still has this deep meaning in it, but why don't you say it clearly with me?" ”
Su Jin reprimanded: "You yourself are in a hurry, but you still come to blame Lord Fuzun, do you still need to make it clear to you that Shangguan's intentions cannot be said to you?" You don't know that the most important way to be an official is to figure out what you want, you don't even understand this, and you don't know how you have been in the officialdom for so many years. ”
Pan Jiangxin said: "You guys have a lot of bellies, Lao Tzu is straight, where can you figure out so many twists and turns; Besides, we are just fighting in the army, which is different from you being officials in various departments of the yamen, who is impatient to guess. ”
Although he muttered in his heart, he had to hurry up to show humility, and pulled Pan Shiyi to Song Zhen and said: "Lord Fuzun, the two of us are not sensible, and we didn't understand the prefect's intention to protect you, but I came to make trouble with you, I really deserve to die, I beg Lord Fuzun to punish you." ”
Song Zhen also only now understands that Su Jin has turned his reckless behavior into intentional, and his image has changed from a reckless man to a well-planned Kongming-style character in an instant, and he admires Su Jin greatly in his heart; This kid pulled out the flowery intestines in his stomach and was afraid that he would have to go around Yangzhou City several times, and what happened after his mouth explained, the black can become white, and the dead can become alive.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, this government originally planned to talk to you alone later, but unexpectedly, you brought people to make trouble, there are many people in the lobby today, if I say it, I am afraid that it is to give people a handle, so I can only hold back and not say, at this moment it is all my own family present, since Su Envoy said it and you know, it doesn't matter, just don't spread the word." Song Zhen's acting skills have been with Su Jin for a long time, and he is naturally improving by leaps and bounds, and he has the potential to enter the Oscar.
"No, no, if I live up to the will of Lord Fuzun again, will I still call it a person?" Pan Jiang and Pan Shiyi hurriedly said.
Su Jin laughed and said, "Don't you respect Lord Fuzun for a bowl of wine?" Each person toasts a bowl as a sign of sincerity. ”
Everyone toasted one bowl at a time, no matter how much Song Zhen drank too much, he couldn't help it, and soon it was smoky, and in the end he couldn't tell the truth from the false, and even he himself thought that Su Jin's words to help him exonerate him were originally intentional.
Su Jin ordered someone to help the drunk Song Zhen back to the inner hall to rest, and he also drank a lot of wine, slightly drunk, and still remembered the big things in his heart, so he proposed that the banquet be stopped, and he would drink again in the future; The soldiers said goodbye with a wine burp, and Su Jin also planned to go back to his room to rest for a while.
As soon as he turned around, he heard Pan Jiang say softly: "The envoy stays, and I have something to say to you." ”
Su Jin turned his head and smiled, "What does Commander Pan have to teach you?" ”
Pan Jiang glanced left and right, leaned into Su Jin's ear and said, "My lord, take one step to speak, in front of the public, there are some things that you can't say." ”
Su Jin looked around, the dynasty Ma Han Zhao Dutou and Pan Shiyi, it seemed that there were no outsiders, but seeing Pan Jiang's mysterious look, his heart moved, so he nodded and said: "I'll go back to my residence, you can come by yourself later, it just so happens that I have something to ask you." ”
Pan Jiang blinked his eyes and said loudly: "The envoy has a good amount of alcohol, and after drinking five or six bowls, he still has such a spirit, and he wants to make an appointment with the adult to fight for the amount of wine." ”
Su Jin laughed and said: "I'm afraid I'm not your opponent for the amount of alcohol, but I agreed, and I'd rather get drunk than be a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
Pan Jiang raised his big fingers, and a series of words of praise came out of his mouth, Pan Shiyi saw that he was drunk, and hurriedly turned around to support him, smiled apologetically at Su Jin, and waved out the door.
Soon after Su Jin returned to his residence, Pan Jiang sneaked in alone, Su Jinping retired from the dynasty Ma Han, and sat down with him and smiled: "What does Commander Pan have to tell the envoy?" It's so mysterious. ”
Pan Jiang said in a low voice: "Originally, the lowly position planned to turn a blind eye, because this matter is really difficult to say, but it is always unhappy to hold it in my heart, and after thinking about it, it is better to tell the envoy, the envoy is quite concerned about the lowly and others, if the lowly position then stands by and watches, is it still a person?" ”
Su Jin frowned and said, "What is it that makes you so solemn?" ”
Pan Jiang said: "I heard that yesterday morning, the envoy went to Beikou Sanli Hutong to find that Feng Laohu's bad luck, right?" ”
Su Jin Zhengse said: "How do you call it looking for bad luck? The envoy is on an errand. ”
Pan Jiang said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the Ming people don't say secret words, and the envoy pretends to be in the name of the bandit leader's escape, but in fact, where is there any matter of the bandit leader's escape?" What evidence are you looking for? ”
Su Jin squinted his eyes and said coldly, "What do you think I'm looking for?" ”
Pan Jiang said with a smile: "Forgive me for being reckless, I guess you must be looking for evidence of Feng Laohu's grain, at present, the biggest thing for the envoy is to dig out the grain in Yangzhou, and he visited it a few days ago, I'm afraid it's also for this matter, right?" ”
Su Jin looked at Pan Jiang with a torch and said: "I can't see it, Commander Pan is a person with a heart, and the envoy's every move has not escaped your eyes, you came here to tell the envoy this?" ”
Pan Jiang saw that Su Jin's words were not good, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, I'm not here to help anyone say good things, I just think that it is futile for the lord to do this, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find out next year." ”
Su Jin said: "How do you say this? ”
Pan Jiang coughed, his voice was very low, and said: "The adult is the first person to admire the humble position, although he is young, but he gives people the feeling of being as stable as Mount Tai after being experienced in the world, and the adult is also regarded as a lowly position, so the humble position can't bear to see the adult busy in vain, so after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to tell you a big secret." ”
Su Jin's heart moved, and he said, "Big secret? What other big secrets are there in the city of Yangzhou? Do you know who is storing the grain and where the granary is located? ”
Pan Jiang chuckled: "Is that still a secret?" I don't say who is stockpiling grain, and adults already know, how can they know about the lowly position of the grain, and the lowly position is not their gang. ”
Su Jin said tentatively: "You mean someone is with him?" ”
Pan Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then pointed his head and said: "Sure enough, it is the envoy, and a casual word can make the adult perceive the flaws. ”
Su Jin said: "Don't drag the article with me, if you have something to say, just say it; You know Ben is busy right now. ”
Pan Jiang paused, lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, the lowly position will give everything he knows, but the lowly position has no evidence at all, and the truth or falsehood is justified by the adult." ”
