From the beginning, Lan Chen also guessed that he would not be convicted, and at most it would just be a formality.
After all, the first thing you do is to save face.
It would be better for both parties to follow the steps provided.
I just didn't expect that Huang Yuankui wanted to find out Lan Chen's purpose of entering the Xianfeng Institute, and after temporarily trusting him, he actually made such a 'promotion' decision.
This was naturally far beyond Lan Chen's imagination, and he was a little panicked for a moment, not knowing whether to accept it or decline it politely.
But then he thought, as if he could swallow the stolen money, he also started to set a trap for Huang Yuankui.
The false refusal also aroused the competitiveness in Huang Yuankui's heart, making him think he had grasped Lan Chen's hand, and then made such a promise.
With this good thing, Lan Chen naturally agreed to it, so that he could not only get promoted and make a fortune, but also avoid future troubles.
Not to mention how excited he was just now, when he walked out of the door, he jumped up even more excitedly.
"Ha! Congratulations first." Lin Dongshuang congratulated, "Actually, we had the same idea just now."
"There is no need to say more about Song Jiangfeng. Anyway, Mr. Huang was so angry that he kicked him several times before he gave up. Then there is the stolen money. You really, since you want to take it, you have to deal with the ending.
Ah, the boxes and ledgers and so on were not burned in a fire, they had to be kept for us to discover."
"Oh! I was so tired last night that I didn't think about it in detail." Lan Chen smiled and glanced at Lin Dongshuang subconsciously.
It seems that this girl has also changed a bit. If this happened in the past, she might not be pestering him to take out the stolen money, right?
Judging from her tone, she also planned to help him hide it?
"You!" Lin Dongshuang stared at Lan Chen. "At that time, the commanders had different opinions and each had their own opinions. It was just that Master Huang said that he would make a decision only after seeing you with his own eyes. He even offered to see you.
If you show your performance, you may be appointed as the leader of Renzhi."
"You don't know that all the commanders were furious at that time. Even the youngest commander now, Jiang Ye, only got the job after working at the Xianfeng Institute for more than four years. Fortunately, you were nominated just a short time ago."
"You have to be careful. Someone will definitely disobey you and come to make trouble."
Lan Chen just shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Then come, let's beat each other, let's beat them both."
"Anyway, Mr. Huang should be very satisfied with you. That's why he made such a decision. You have to do it well."
"Okay, I will follow my sister-in-law's instructions in everything."
Lin Dongshuang was stunned for a moment by the word 'sister-in-law' that she hadn't seen for a long time, and her expression suddenly changed and became gloomy.
"What's wrong?"
"No, no, no." Lin Dongshuang forced a smile, "Speaking of which, my sister Fei Ge sent a message saying that she has returned from practicing with the imperial master and is already on her way back to the capital."
"Oh." Lan Chen nodded, without saying anything more, and asked as if he had something in mind, "By the way, where is Zhou Shenshen?"
"She..." Lin Dongshuang pursed her lips, "Maybe you will think that I am nosy. After all, she was also rescued by you. Just think of it as my own decision. I let her live in the Lin Mansion.
Got off."
"This is?"
"I once asked her how she was kidnapped by Song Jiangfeng, and she said... her parents said they would take her to have a good meal, but when they went to that place, their parents disappeared. Alas
, I thought it was something like that, so I made up a lie and let her be in the Lin Mansion."
"That's really hard work. It should be right for her to be by your side."
"Yeah..." Lin Dongshuang let out a long sigh.
After learning the truth from Zhou Shenshen yesterday, she also secretly approached that family this morning. Originally she was full of anger, but after seeing their poor plight, she also lost her courage.
It seems that I have no qualifications to blame them. The only thing I can do is to let Zhou Shenshen eat well and wear warm clothes. When she grows up, she can make her own decision.
"Don't worry, you can tell her that I will go to the Lin Mansion to play with her when I have time. By the way, what about the evidence collected from Renzhi? I want to check it out."
"I take it you want to continue interrogating him?"
"Absolutely."
"They're all in the cell. Let me go with you. It'll be just in time to wait for Master Huang's secret order. In this way, you can officially become the commander."
"Then it's hard work. Let's go, Miss Lin."
"You're the only one with a poor mouth." Lin Dongshuang rolled her eyes.
Just like that, the two of them rode horses and headed towards the cell.
On the other side, after sending everyone away, Huang Yuankui was sitting alone on a chair, playing with the jade beads in his hand.
While sipping tea, he seemed to be secretly thinking about something.
"It seems that Mr. Huang is still thinking about Lan Chen?" After pushing the door open, Bai Zhixian came back and closed the door directly.
But Huang Yuankui was not surprised. Instead, he glanced at Bai Zhixian in a prepared manner, "The commanders have all dispersed. What's the matter? Old man Bai, you still call me Mr. Huang?"
"Isn't this just smooth talking?" Bai Zhixian smiled happily, "Huang Yuankui, Huang Yuankui, I think you have been a commander for a long time, and you have never met anyone like Lan Chen, right?"
"That's not the case. Bai Feng, when I see him, I feel like I saw you back then. He is young and promising, and there are many little tricks hidden behind his back."
"Don't flatter me, I can't afford it."
The two looked at each other and smiled, showing the tacit understanding between old friends.
Bai Feng, also known as Bai Zhixian, continued, "If I had three or four points of that boy back then, I would be more than just the county magistrate now! This boy is not a thing in the pond. Sooner or later, he will encounter wind and rain and turn into a dragon."
"I feel like he is a dragon now."
"Oh? This is really the first time I hear Huang Yuankui, an old boy like you, praise someone so much."
"You've been fighting for half your life, why should you continue?" Huang Yuankui couldn't help rolling his eyes. "I thought I had dug a trap to let that kid jump, but I didn't expect that it would in turn make me feel defeated. It's good, because he was beaten.
When a person like him becomes a leader, it will be very exciting if he wants to come and serve first."
"As long as it's lively, it's good to be lively." Bai Feng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Huang Yuankui's attitude, he understood that he had acknowledged Lan Chen from the bottom of his heart.
"What he said was that he came to the Xianfeng Institute to find friends?" Huang Yuankui narrowed his eyes, stared ahead and said, "If this is true, why did he come to the Xianfeng Institute to find someone?"
"Have you taken a fancy to Xian Fengsuo's information?" Bai Feng asked back.
"No. If this is the case, you can just entrust the case to the Xianfeng Office. Why go to all the trouble. Since he joined, he has been stationed in the file room, flipping through it, and what he is looking at...
..Oh, by the way, Zhang Xianggong deliberately arranged for him to be in Branch B, but he had to go to Branch A. In other words, the person he was looking for was nine out of ten from Branch A!"
"So what? He's not going to say it, and there's no point in forcing him."
"Let me think about which police officer it would be..." Huang Yuankui pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened, "No, no, it's the commander of the A branch! He hasn't given any orders in several years, how is it possible! The commander...
...My brain hurts so much, it hurts so much, Commander? Liang Ziwen!"
