Where Factory Inspector Wang wants to go, how can a mere door stop him...
Wang Zhi didn't stay with Fang Yingwu for long. She just once again politely invited Fang Yingwu to be her "male secretary" or "male publicist". Of course, Fang Yingwu refused this invitation.
In fact, in this era, there had not been such notorious power eunuchs as Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, and the concept of eunuchs had not yet taken shape. Shilin's attitude toward Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi was mostly due to their hatred of political enemies.
To use an analogy, among the three top ministers in the current cabinet, the second assistant Liu Jue hates the first assistant Wan An as much as some ministers hate Wang Zhi - you know, Liu Jue often curses the first assistant
Wan'an "has no shame in betraying the country".
In history, Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian both ended miserably and died without a burial place. However, Wang Zhi was able to die a good death after being dismissed. It is more like the rules of the game for ministers who failed in political disputes and stopped pursuing them after they became official. What happened in the middle
The difference is evident.
Even the elite Hanlins of the Hanlin Academy would go to the inner study to teach the young eunuchs to study, and this kind of job was still very popular. According to statistics, up to two-thirds of the Hanlin who had gone to the inner study to teach became members of the cabinet.
, because the ceremonial eunuch must come from the inner study, and of course he will take care of his own teacher.
Therefore, the temple politics of the Ming Dynasty has always been a very complicated thing, full of games of morality and interests, but it is not absolute. There are also some that are too absolute, such as the Donglin Party, and the consequences for the country are not very good.
.
Having said that, for Fang Yingwu himself, what he considers more is the issue of gains and losses. He is very clear-headed, and the route he has designed for himself currently is to rely on a few big trees. He will make a name for himself in Shilin and build a solid foundation for the future.
.And the stronger the foundation, the better.
Going to work as a clerk next to Wang Zhi would have deviated from the established path in his heart. This was the fundamental reason why he refused the invitation.
After Wang Zhi left, Fang Yingwu hurriedly found the handyman at the inn and moved to another yard. He couldn't live in a place without a door.
The next day, Fang Yingwu heard someone calling the door again, and it was the same voice as yesterday. This time, Fang Yingwu knew that there was no point in closing the door, and the two thin door panels could not stop her, so he had to open the door and let Wang Zhi in.
The female factory supervisor's words were the same. Fang Yingwu's answer was the same. Before leaving, Wang Zhi said: "I will come to visit again tomorrow. The ancients visited the thatched cottage three times. I think I can follow suit."
It's useless if you try it a hundred times, Fang Yingwu said in his heart. He became a little worried. Wang Zhi wouldn't get angry because of shame. If the soft one doesn't work, just use a hard one, just tie him up and leave?
But that is meaningless. How can a kidnapped person do a good job in clerical and diplomatic work? He can't even handle basic errands. It's better to be an undercover agent.
In the afternoon, a servant from the post station suddenly came in in a panic, and reported: "Master Fang, there are hundreds of people gathered outside, saying they want to see you."
Fang Yingwu didn't know why and asked: "Why do you want to see me?"
"I don't know. I just heard that they were begging you to come forward to save people. They are surrounding the inn. You'd better go out and have a look."
Fang Yingwu came to the inn gate in confusion, and sure enough he saw hundreds of people gathered outside. The inn gate was blocked tightly.
Fang Yingwu cupped his hands in front of the crowd and said, "Yingwu below. I don't know you all. I wonder why you are here today to find me?"
When the crowd saw Fang Yingwu, they immediately became noisy and could not hear clearly what they were talking about. Fang Yingwu then shouted again: "Please ask one or two elders to come forward and speak!"
Only then did an old man over fifty years old walk out of the crowd and said to him: "This little old man lives outside the west gate. His surname is Liu. We are gathered here today and we only ask Mr. Fang to save his life."
Fang Yingwu asked in confusion: "What can I do to save you?"
"We all have relatives who were arrested and imprisoned by the Jinyi Official School. Now we are desperate. We hope that the young master will show his kindness and lend a helping hand to save us!"
Fang Yingwu was still puzzled, "What kind of virtues do I have for this scholar? Is Mr. Liu afraid that he has worshiped the wrong person on the wrong mountain? I really don't have this ability."
The old man Liu begged sincerely: "Wang Gong visited the young master twice, which shows that we have a lot of friendship. Moreover, the Jinyi Official School said a few words, saying that he asked me to come and ask the young master to come forward, and everything can be easily solved."
At this time, more than a dozen people suddenly knelt down and shouted: "Master Fang, please make the decision for us and intercede!"
Fang Yingwu was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the crowd again, his scalp went numb, and he almost started to curse!
He finally understood. Wang Zhi said that she would force him to agree, but she had done nothing for him for several days in a row. It turned out that this was the problem!
She just wants to deliberately let the people come to her to beg her and put herself in a dilemma. If she doesn't agree, she will appear cold-blooded and refuse to save them. If she wants to lend a helping hand and help these poor people, she can only beg her.
go.
Once you beg her, what consequences will there be? You can only succumb to the thief...
What Fang Yingwu especially wanted to scold was, what was the difference between Wang Zhi's behavior and the rogue bandits coercing the common people and using them as their vanguard as cannon fodder?
She is acting unreasonably, and the seriousness lies in completely breaking the rules of the game. It can be called a completely evil move! If everyone in the political arena learns to engage in moral kidnapping like this, the world will be in chaos. Anyone with a little bit of literacy will
No official would do such a thing.
These few days of contact gave Fang Yingwu some misconceptions. He didn't feel how evil the female factory supervisor was. She was neither greedy for money nor cruel. She just acted arrogantly and her skills were a little immature. Why did she still scold her like this?
Did the ancients have a very high moral bottom line?
Today I experienced it personally. Even travelers who have a fairly good moral tolerance like other travelers want to curse!
This kind of second-hand, half-vicious person in the political arena may not be cruel in what she does, but it is just infuriating and disgusting. She deserves her rapid decline in just a few years!
For a moment, Fang Yingwu didn't have a good idea, so he said to Mr. Liu: "I sympathize with you all for what happened to you. But what you want involves my reputation, so the matter is very important, so I can't make up my mind at the moment.
.Now that I know it, please go back first and let me spend some time thinking quietly."
Old man Liu discussed with the crowd for a few words, then went to Fang Yingwu and said: "We know that the matter is sudden, and Mr. Fang needs to consider it carefully. That's it for today. I will come back to petition tomorrow."
After waiting for a while, Fang Yingwu saw that the crowd had dispersed and returned to the house.
He called all his entourage and told him very seriously: "You can't live with me anymore. You two and Sister Lan should leave here and find other places to settle. If it didn't work, he went to Deng Tongzhi and entrusted him to
He takes care of it."
He thought for a while and then ordered: "If you have a chance, you can go back to Suzhou Mansion and join Mr. Wang. It's hard for me to leave. If you want to leave, it should be easier."
Wang Ying said in surprise: "Brother Qiu, you said the day before yesterday that the situation was fine and that we were just waiting. Why are you so nervous today?"
Fang Yingwu sighed. He didn't have any sense of crisis at first and felt that his safety was guaranteed. Even Wang Zhi, the factory security leader, really couldn't see anything extremely evil. But after what happened today, he felt
Suddenly I smelled danger.
The danger comes from two points. One is the unreasonable style of a certain factory supervisor. He would not have guessed this if he followed common sense. God knows what will happen. If the people around him are used to make an issue, it will be troublesome.
When it comes to breaking the rules, if she does the first thing, she will do the second one, and she can't take any chances. It's better to take advantage of a certain factory supervisor who doesn't pay attention to the people around her, and take precautions to move her family members away.
Get out.
The second danger comes from the requests of the people in Changzhou Prefecture. Although they are begging and begging now, and their attitude is humble and pitiful, they will be transformed very quickly.
Fang Yingwu is used to reading dirty materials when doing research, and he is very familiar with the common bad nature of human beings. If these people are really rejected by him in the end or fail to help them, there is a high possibility that they will fall out and blame themselves.
.
After all, I look much weaker than the factory guard, not even a big shot, and I am isolated in the local area. If not myself, who can I turn to to vent my anger? Weak people find psychological balance by bullying weaker people. This is a common phenomenon among human beings.
.
By that time, hundreds of people will gather together, and the atmosphere will be very uncontrollable. If one person does not handle the situation properly, or if there are several leaders, they may rush into their own residence, smash, burn, and loot.
Therefore, it is safer to move the people around you out in advance. If there is any problem, as long as you pay more attention, it will be easier to escape alone in advance.
There was no word for the whole night, but the next day, Wang Zhi came again, and she fulfilled her promise to visit the thatched cottage three times.
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, so why do you have to force me on you? Coercing the people to force me is not the right way to do things."
Wang Zhi looked leisurely and contented, and had everything under control, "I am not driving the people to force you, but I am helping you find excuses and reasons, so as not to fail to recognize good people's hearts."
Is this a good person? Fang Yingwu laughed angrily, "I need to listen to this. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
"Being a clerk here for two years will actually have no impact on your imperial examination, and other places will not treat you badly. So what are you worried about? It can only be some minor reputation issues. Other than that, I really
I can't think of any other reason for you to refuse.
So now, for the sake of these poor people, you have to obey me. This is not a good talk. I heard the sage said, sacrifice one's life to become a benevolent person, sacrifice one's life to achieve righteousness; Buddha also said, sacrifice one's life to feed a tiger, cut one's flesh to feed an eagle, why can't you do that?
If you don't care, then even though you don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of you! If you let go, what will happen to the common people?
Everyone is working for the emperor, and I am not asking you to betray the country and surrender to the enemy. I think others will understand. In other words, I have helped you solve this reputation problem, so what reason do you have to refuse?"
Is there really something wrong? Fang Yingwu was stunned for a long time. This person is very evil, so evil. This is her greatest talent? (To be continued.)
