The attentive Qin Dewei read the instructions sent by Huo Tao again, and found another flaw. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Zeng's stepfather: "The person who killed the young man is not kind."
Shaozukazai, the official slang term for the Minister of Civil Service.
Zeng Mian found it baffling. What could you see from such a template-like road warning? Can you see any flowers?
Qin Dewei pointed at the key points again, "Master, look, Shaozukazai also said that he would stay for a few days. This detail is very strange, I'm afraid he wants to do you harm!"
You know, under normal circumstances, when you are on the road, you will leave after spending the night, and you will not stay in one place for multiple days."
Zeng's father felt that Qin Dewei might be suffering from delusions of being persecuted, and questioned him: "The river in the north is blocked, so don't you have to stay in Liaocheng for a few days? If others stay, it will be a mistake."
Qin Dewei couldn't stop sighing. There were still too few people in the world who were as smart and astute as himself, so he had to waste time explaining it.
"First of all, Shaozukazai hasn't arrived in Liaocheng yet, so how do he know that the river in the north is blocked? He must have planned to stop in Liaocheng.
Second, the river in the north is blocked and it is also north of Texas. I am waiting in Liaocheng because you are in Liaocheng.
And why didn’t Shaozukazai stay in Dezhou and wait? If things got worse, he could go to Linqing, so why did he have to stay in Liaocheng? So I said this detail is very strange, and I must be on guard against others.”
Zeng's father was speechless. Why did his cheap son always see the world differently from others?
Alas, it must be because I lost my father when I was young, suffered a lot of hardships, and saw too much darkness, so my eyes lacked light, which is really heartbreaking.
Qin Dewei added: "Sir, do you know that Mr. Huo, the Shaozhong Zai, is Uncle Xia Dazong's mortal enemy? He can even be said to be his number one mortal enemy."
Qin Dewei continued without emotion: "If it were me, returning to the capital this time, I would definitely do something to establish my authority. As a famous minister of this dynasty, he has the qualifications.
If it were me, the person to establish my power would definitely be Uncle Xia Dazong. The last time he was convicted and dismissed from office was because of Uncle Xia Dazong.
As the saying goes, you have to get up from where you fell, and this is also shown to others, letting others know that you are still strong.
If it were me, I would definitely find some excuse from the middle and lower levels and implicate Uncle Xia Dazong if I couldn't do anything about it.
If it were me, and I saw a small magistrate on the road who was recommended by Uncle Xia Dazong, I would definitely consider this magistrate.
If we can find any crime or fault on the county magistrate, we can impeach Uncle Xia Dazong with an unknown recommendation. Don't get involved in personnel issues in the future."
After listening to this, Zeng's father looked very ugly, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
Qin Dewei asked curiously: "Are you scared?"
Zeng's stepfather nodded: "I'm a little scared."
Qin Dewei was immediately disappointed, Mr. Zeng, how could you be so hopeless? If you are so cowardly, what future can you have?
Even if Feng Caiji was here, he wouldn't say he was afraid!
Zeng's father sighed longly: "What scares me is not Shaozukazai, but your inner world. It's too underworld and there is too little sunshine."
Qin Dewei: "..."
Stepfather, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't be so philosophical.
On the Grand Canal, three official ships formed a fleet and were heading to the next large dock, Liaocheng, Dongchang Prefecture.
In the cabin of the middle ship, 30-year-old Cantonese Mai Xiang sat under the window, looking out with a smile on his face. Although the cold weather in the north made him uncomfortable, he didn't mind at all.
He was still thinking about it, the girl last night was really nice. It was a pity that she refused to follow him. She was really short-sighted and didn't know how promising he was.
These days were the happiest days since he was born, and he enjoyed unprecedented popularity.
It turns out that when he was in his hometown, his legs would tremble when he saw a government official, but now all the officials along the way treat him with a smile. Not to mention that when receiving entertainment along the way, he is often accompanied by beauties who were previously unreachable.
And he also believes that the days to come will only be happier, because his brother Maifu is really prosperous!
Mr. Huo, who was traveling with him, told him that his elder brother entered the palace and became the eunuch of the emperor. I heard that he was very popular, a hundred times more powerful than the magistrate of his hometown!
For people in this world, apart from their own prosperity, the best news is that their brothers have become prosperous. When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
And what makes Mai Xiang feel the best is that his brother’s way of getting rich is not by studying and becoming an official, but by becoming a eunuch!
If he develops through other means, as the younger brother, he may just eat soup, but if the older brother becomes a eunuch, then the younger brother will eat meat.
The reason is very simple. Eunuchs have no descendants or sons. If they receive a reward, they can only fall on their brothers or nephews!
Originally, as a commoner, Mai Xiang didn't know much about these things. However, Mr. Huo, who was traveling with him, pointed out that he could at least be granted a rank of five thousand households, and he would be promoted again in the future.
Huo Tao, the new right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was sitting opposite Mai Xiang. He felt disgusted in his heart. If the man in front of him didn't have an elder brother who was a steward of the Qing Palace and the master of the imperial horse, how could he deserve to sit with him?
He is not a member of the social circle at all, even the title is very troublesome!
"Brother from the Mai family, Liaocheng is just ahead, and it is also a prosperous place." Mr. Huo started to guide the conversation.
Mai Xiang couldn't wait to ask: "Are there any beauties in Liaocheng?"
Mr. Huo: "..."
Who is this person who is riding a horse? Does he only have women on his mind?
After enduring it, he could only endure the people he found. Mr. Huo endured the discomfort and said: "Then the magistrate of Liaocheng County actually has something to do with you, so you have to be careful."
The topic finally caught Mai Xiang's attention, "What should I be careful about? I still need to be careful about a county magistrate?"
Master Huo continued: "I heard that the son of Zengzhi County in Liaocheng punished Pan Gong, the garrison eunuch of Nanjing. As a result, Pan Gong was deposed and took away all the rewards, which led to a miserable ending.
And Pan Gong is your brother's nobleman and benefactor. More than ten years ago, your brother was able to enter the palace and work in the inner study hall because of Pan Gong's recommendation.
If it were not for Mr. Pan, your brother's fate would not have happened. Your brother must be heartbroken by what happened to Mr. Pan now. If it were me, I would definitely not let Zeng Zhixian off easily."
Mai Xiang immediately felt the same hatred and hatred, "Master Huo, what do you think we should do?"
Huo Tao laughed a few times, "It's not what I want to do, and it's not that I have a grudge against Zeng Zhixian. Now it's up to you what you want to do?"
Mai Xiang patted his chest and said, "We in the Mai family have clear grievances and grievances. Of course we have to take revenge!"
