Mr. Zhang looked at Fang Yingwu and smiled without saying a word. He knew that Fang Yingwu must have understood the meaning. Otherwise, Fang Yingwu would definitely ask questions instead of being silent for a long time and just frowning and thinking. He couldn't help but think again.
To put it bluntly, talking to smart people saves effort.
After pondering for a long time, Fang Yingwu raised his head, with a calm expression, and asked casually: "No matter what Mr. Ning does, it has its own laws and regulations. Can you tell me what the purpose is?"
Mr. Zhang put on a "you know" expression and said, "Let's stop talking secretly. Mr. Lu and Mr. Ning have been colleagues for many years. Naturally, we just hope that Mr. Ning will rein in the situation. How about asking our friends to persuade Mr. Ning?
"
Fang Yingwu could tell that this step back from the cliff did not mean that Mr. Ning should mend his ways, surrender, and be lenient if he confessed.
Instead, I asked Mr. Ning to take the initiative to take up his official position, give up the position of Zuo Bucheng, and make a smooth transition to Mr. Lu. Besides, the implication is that the matter ends here, Mr. Ning
You can escape intact.
Fang Yingwu could tell that Mr. Lu, the right chief envoy, was not willing to make the turmoil too big, lest something unexpected happen.
Under normal circumstances, after the left chief envoy takes office, the right chief envoy is automatically the first candidate and can take over naturally.
If things get serious and an uncontrollable situation arises, who knows what the court will do, and Mr. Lu's wishes may be inexplicably ruined.
Also, Mr. Lu probably doesn't want to have a reputation as a mean person who forced his boss to resign, so he also hopes to make the transition as smooth as possible without making a fuss. This is why he has been unwilling to stand at the front desk.
Fang Yingwu could also imagine that if Mr. Lu directly took the issue and told Mr. Ning, he would easily break up and there would be no room for maneuver. Therefore, he needed a suitable person to be the middleman, and he was very suitable.
.
Letting Fang Yingwu, a "companion", speak to Mr. Ning, it would be equivalent to having room for him to avoid immediately turning against each other and dragging the matter out of control.
At the same time, he also has the status of a student of Shang Xianggong, so he can also do the "explanation" work for Shang Xianggong. For Mr. Lu, it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone. In any case, Mr. Ning was promoted and used by Shang Xianggong.
, I have to give Shang Xianggong an explanation.
No wonder Mr. Ning and Mr. Ning Gu Ya Nei asked him to come forward that day. They were also carrying the burden of corruption and expropriation, and they needed their affection and background to speak to Mr. Shang.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sneer a few times, "Your Mr. Lu is really a good calculator."
Mr. Zhang replied: "Friend Fang arrived in Hangzhou at this time. It is really a coincidence and God's will."
Of course, if Fang Yingwu loses himself in a few words of flattery during tonight's banquet, then there will be no words like these. The two of the Lu family can only add more fire to make Fang Yingwu look like a fool who is being taken advantage of.
That’s it.
Fang Yingwu was speechless. When he heard about the disagreement between Mr. Ning and Mr. Lu, he thought that even if Mr. Ning won, he would probably become an official in a few days.
What's more, he also vaguely felt that Mr. Ning might not have a good chance of winning. After all, the guarding eunuch Li Yi secretly supported Mr. Lu, and Mr. Ning was not sure.
But at the same time, as a half "accomplice", it was impossible to do anything to add insult to injury, so Fang Yingwu made up his mind at that time not to get involved in the dispute between the two chief envoys.
But I didn't expect that once I entered the Jianghu, I couldn't help myself. If you didn't go to the Jianghu, the Jianghu would come to you. I didn't want to participate, but I was dragged in for no reason.
In the Accord on the other side, Manager Tang continued to chat with Wang De, but Wang De became a little impatient because of the many changes tonight.
When he was thinking about how to say a few words and leave, Mr. Zhang and Fang Yingwu walked in again.
Mr. Zhang nodded to Manager Tang, and Manager Tang patted the table gently and said: "Young Master Wang, don't think too much. Within two days, we will send a hundred pieces each of good satin and silk to our Lu Mansion. There is no limit on the color.
But please be happy!"
After leaving Deyi Building, Fang Yingwu rejected Wang De's suggestion to go with him. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight and the lights of the night market, he lowered his head and meditated while slowly walking back to the hotel.
The news he got tonight was very complicated and involved many aspects. If he didn't consider it carefully, it would be easy for loopholes to appear. Therefore, he had to clean up his thoughts from the beginning to find out the loopholes and fill them up.
Turning around the corner, Fang Yingwu suddenly came up with an idea. It was a matter of great importance. It involved Mr. Ning, the number one official in the province and the one who had been supported by Mr. Shang in the past. Should he rush back to Chun'an overnight?
, tell Shang Xianggong these things?
But he immediately rejected the idea. Doing so was tantamount to irresponsibly dragging Shang Xianggong into trouble? You absolutely cannot do this.
With Mr. Shang's character, he would never get involved in such a dishonorable matter of embezzling a huge amount of money, and he probably really didn't know about it. If he dragged Mr. Shang into it, if word spread, it would probably be said that Mr. Shang was shielding Ning Liang.
This may be what some people want. People in the officialdom are sinister and must be guarded against. Among other things, judging from the situation of the academic officer Li Shishi, the current chief minister Wan'an is very wary of Shang Xianggong. At the same time, Wan'an
He is also a person who is recognized as having no character. If he finds an opportunity to take advantage of Mr. Shang, he will definitely cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but shiver in the warm evening breeze of late spring, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hadn't thought of this just now.
He couldn't help but cursed in his heart, this Ning Liang is really a pig-like teammate! It doesn't matter if he is unlucky if he commits this kind of stupidity when he is old. If he is implicated in Qingwang, Mr. Shang, he will die forever!
You must know that Ning Liang has been able to serve as chief envoy in one of the richest provinces in the world for more than ten years, all thanks to the power of Shang Xianggong. Everyone knows that Ning Liang and Shang Ren have a close relationship, and this cannot be separated.
.In other words, if a huge scandal breaks out in Ningliang, it will easily be associated with Xianggong Shang!
No wonder Mr. Lu, the right chief envoy, was so sure of his identity that he calmly told him all about Mr. Ning's embezzlement! He was not afraid that he would stay out of the matter after hearing the secret.
If he stood in his own position, he would not be able to cover it up even if he wanted to. In order to preserve Shang Xianggong's reputation, he would definitely try every means to cover it up.
The safest way is to persuade Ning Liang to quit his job and take the initiative to relinquish his position to Mr. Lu. According to the unspoken rules of handover, since the predecessor has stepped down, the successor should try not to hold him accountable.
Fang Yingwu looked up at the bright moon and felt a little confused. He may have had a lot of experience in his two lifetimes, but he had never faced such a major corruption case in the officialdom.
This kind of understanding of right and wrong cannot be felt by reading a few books or reading a few stories. Is it really necessary to follow what Mr. Zhang said and act as a peacemaker and cover the lid? Then make peace
Is everything peaceful and stable? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
