Chapter 159 The Tragic Old Chen
With a tragic mood, Chen Jianming also returned to Shuzhou from Wuwei County.
This errand was really thrilling for Lao Chen. It could be said to be smooth or full of troubles.
It was the first major case since Chen Jianming took office as the acting magistrate of Shuzhou. He "decisively" authorized Wang Rong's troops to send troops, but the combat power of the Divine Chicken did not disappoint Chen Jianming. He pointed out that he would fight that, and drove over like a locust, and it would be harmonious.
Chen Jianming wanted to say that he was not awesome. Unfortunately, his grandson was too decisive. Although it was a positive conclusion in the end, Sima Guang's distrust was caused by the boy's previous poor reputation and excessive bloody means. This led to a thrilling battle for "jurisdiction" in Wuwei County.
It's dangerous. Chen Jianming felt that Wang Yun was missing and knelt down. If the gods knelt down politically, Chen Jianming, who was authorized to send troops, would still be covered in fishy smell.
Fortunately, the boy was really lucky. At the last moment, Zhang Fangping not only came by a stranger, but also happened to meet Wang Anshi on the road and brought Privy Council. He killed Sima Guangding on the ground and could not move.
Otherwise, if you are a step slower, you will be denied by Sima Guang first in politics, and everything will be passive. It is not that Sima Guang has the ability to kill Wang Yun, but that situation can turn a credit into a political fight, so that everyone will forget that this is a "bandit suppression incident". It only leaves the impression that this is a group of sharks are robbing money.
Chen Jianming didn't care how much money Wang Rong made on the battlefield in Huaixi, only one thing: he could not be denied.
Otherwise, I, Lao Chen, is the reputation of "making decisions for the people", and I, Lao Chen, isn't the "General Decision-maker in Huaixi battlefield" taking the blame?
With such thoughts, after returning to Shuzhou to have sex with the beautiful lady, Chen Jianming immediately summoned Wang Rong...
Wang Rong entered Chen Jianming's study happily, which was embarrassing!
This house, this study, is full of memories. When Dalun opened his eyes in Dasong, he saw these things.
But now things are not, and people are not.
Lao Chen’s collection of books is not as high as Wang Anshi, but it is also quite a lot. The reason why Wang Rong was embarrassed was that before Lao Chen took office, he was crazy about selling everything he could sell in this villa, including the bookshelf, of course.
The bookshelf was indeed Wang Anshi's, and Wang Anshi could not take it away, so he treated it as part of the decoration and ordered Wang Rong not to move the principle of staying and leaving.
As a result, many of Lao Chen’s books are now placed in boxes and piled up in the corner of the wall.
In fact, for a while, Chen Jianming forgot about Wang Rong's move to empty the villa. Now, seeing this grandson carrying three kilograms of eggs to show off, Chen Jianming remembered.
"Wang Rong..." Chen Jianming said in a helpless voice, "Don't keep coming in and out of me with unfair eggs all day long. It's like something. If you are really filial and send back the furniture you emptied, I'm grateful."
“…”
When talking about this, Wang Rong was speechless to himself, but those things had been sold and were all at the homes of the people. My brother could still rob them. He could only put the eggs down and said, "These eggs are clear to the Lord Tong Gong, these eggs are enough to exchange for those furniture."
Chen Jianming waved his hand and said impatiently: "Take it away, how do you take it in? How do you take it out for us..."
But I couldn't finish it, and the beautiful woman's voice came from outside: "Yao Xiaobian is here again, so good, I bring eggs to my aunt again."
The old Chen family's wife walked in, pinched Wang Rong's face, then left with the egg.
"You..." Old Chen jumped up angrily and said, "You are so arrogant, let me go for me."
But the person has left, so he probably went to apply a mask with an egg.
Wang Rong secretly found it funny, and the expression on Lao Chen's face at this time was really wonderful.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Jianming had no courage to fight with his wife, so he calmed down and called the old housekeeper, and ordered: "Give me the box of wolf hairs that I bought in the capital at that time and give it to the yamen."
The old housekeeper went there for a while and came again, and handed Wang Rong an exquisite box.
When I opened it, I saw a brush from a famous factory. Wang Yun took it out, and the way he took it was similar to Sun Wuzi. Then he put the wolf hair into his mouth and licked it. He drew a few times in the air with a naughty look.
A stick.
The so-called sword is given to heroes and good pens are given to talented men. Seeing this calf using such high-end goods like this, Chen Jianming and the old housekeeper were speechless, but they were not easy to interfere. Because this was a rebate to Wang Rong after collecting the eggs.
"Wang Rong, you are a weasel to wish the chicken a New Year. Please come to me less in the future and never bring eggs again." Chen Jianming sighed.
Wang Rong laughed and said, "My nickname is the Divine Chicken. You asked me to come this time. I am the Chicken, and you are the Weasel. OK."
Chen Jianming still had some measure and didn't want to talk to the little kid anymore, so he ordered the old housekeeper to say, "Give some tea to the yamen."
"Go back to Master, there is no tea." said the old butler.
"We won't buy it if we don't have it. Didn't we just allocated the official salary?" Chen Jianming asked in surprise.
The old housekeeper said awkwardly: "I just collected some money, but my wife picked it up and bought gouache. I ordered a lot of Shu brocade and embroidery..."
Chen Jianming looked dark and sat in the corner and muttered the words "Present women..."
Shaoqing said again: "What about tea? Use double tea to exchange for some tea leaves. Do I look like an official without the tea master?"
"Go back to the master, the tea ray was sold by the wife." said the old butler.
"It's a real disaster." Old Chen has gone from being too lyrics to cursing.
Speaking of which, tea entries are really valuable because they are also a monopoly of the government, which draws heavy taxes from them. Officials have a fixed share of tea entries every month, and this part is affordable and tax-free. Therefore, of course, the share can also be sold for money.
After thinking about it, Chen Jianming said unwillingly: "Where has the tea sales gone? Is there a receipt? Have you been deceived?"
"The one who got the receipt from the master... was sold to the Honglou." After saying that, he looked at Wang Yun awkwardly, because everyone in Shuzhou knew that the Honglou was basically Wang Yun's.
"I @#¥" Chen Jianming glared at Wang Rong and said, "Boy, it turns out that the worst person is you again?"
"But it's not my business?" Wang Yun spread his hands and said, "Besides, the price is not fooling people, right? If the tea in Honglou is not purchased, of course, it will be necessary to purchase additional tea. I didn't go to get smuggled tea, which means that I Honglou is providing you with tea tax in Shuzhou. What else do you have to do?"
Chen Jianming said: "I didn't say you evade taxes, nor did you say you were wrong. It's just that the officials' family members are involved in these things, which can easily make people misunderstand it. The prodigal woman should be hung up. Don't mess with her, don't cooperate with her."
Wang Rong didn't want to talk to him about this. He said that his wife was very cute, but he said that he was a prodigal person all day long, and Old Chen really couldn't make a mess.
Even though he knew that this was a kind of political and interests, Chen Jianming could only compromise with a wry smile. There was no way. Chen Jianming didn't want to make Shuzhou so good, but he definitely didn't want to become worse than now. Then he had to compromise.
Compromise includes two parts. One is to use the power of ruling to guard the gate. If Sima Guang's decree is not good for Wang Rong's industry, he must stand up and reject it.
There is nothing right or wrong. In a free society, the game between capital and politics is like this.
"Okay, you and I have agreed on this issue. I, Lao Chen, will protect your interests because you have indeed made contributions to Shuzhou. This must be recognized."
Chen Jianming twisted his beard and said, "But the additional condition is that you have to help us straighten out the current situation in Shuzhou. I just think there is something wrong, and you have to find out the reason."
"Okay, I'll help you this time. If there is really something wrong with Shuzhou, I will deal with it before leaving. Because these unstable factors can also affect my interests." Wang Rong stood up and said, "But my husband has to give the boy some time, and I have to observe it secretly."
Old Chen thought it was amazing. It was not until he left that he realized that he was a little brat. He had never felt it like this before...
