"Is there something wrong with the tone of your files?" Lu Xiao said while looking through the files.
"Sir, there will be no problem. No one will find any flaws." Ling Yunkai said with some fear.
"I'm not talking about this, what I mean is that Mr. Zhou's family has 200,000 acres of fertile land without paying taxes. This means that he must have gathered a lot of grain and grass. With 200,000 acres of fertile land, there are only 30,000 tenant farmers.
Divide it."
"Um, that's what my lord said." Ling Yunkai didn't know what Lu Xiao meant. But he knew how to behave in front of the leader. In just one sentence, everything the leader said was right.
"Look, Mr. Zhou has countless assets, countless grain and grass, and tens of thousands of young men and women obeying his orders. Doesn't this mean...rebellion?"
Ling Yunkai felt a cold sweat on his forehead. He considered himself ruthless. But in front of this boss, he always felt that he was a pure and kind person.
"...Sir, isn't this a bit... far-fetched?"
"Is it far-fetched?"
"...not far-fetched."
"That's it. Remember to go back and get this done. And among the hundreds of households under my control, there is one named Zhang Ying. Did you know?"
"Back to your lord, I have met Lord Zhang several times in my humble position."
"Master Zhang, he is so fat that he weighs two hundred kilograms. He has to be carried up to get on a horse. This kind of trash can actually be a royal guard. Go and check him for me. If the check is good, his seat will be yours.
.”
"I accept the order." Ling Yunkai accepted the order excitedly. He knew in his heart that this was a report for Lu Xiao's previous work. The Lord promised a hundred households and was ready to fulfill it in less than ten days. This made Ling Yun
Kai was full of energy.
If Lu Xiao hadn't designated 200,000 acres, he would dare to write 400,000 acres to Mr. Zhou now.
............
After Han Kuang fell, Wei Zhongxian took the initiative to summon Lu Xiao.
"You did a good job with Han Kuang."
Although Lu Xiao did not report it, Wei Zhongxian had already determined that he must have done it. A long time ago, Wei Zhongxian had vaguely noticed that this Qianhu guard, who was born in a poor family, was very bold at heart. His methods were even more unconstrained, and he was not
An easy person.
"Being able to work for the factory owner is a blessing from a humble position."
"Haha, if my disciples and disciples were half as capable as you, the situation would not have reached this stage. If my prediction is correct, next step, they will detonate the treasure ship record. You prepared it
how's it going?"
"Back to the factory, Mr. The key to this piece of work is that the drawings used by the craftsmen are different from the drawings in the palace. When the time comes, this can be used to implicate the poor supervision of the East Factory.
But the other party can't just take out a drawing and say it was used by craftsmen. Therefore, I concluded that they will create an ironclad proof. And this ironclad proof is in Jinyiwei's eucalyptus slip library."
"Double Document Library, you mean, they will use the backup in the Official Document Library as evidence?"
"That's right. In fact, the drawings that were shown to the factory owner should have been their handiwork."
"Then if you tampered with the drawings, it wouldn't arouse their suspicion?"
"There is no need for the factory manager to worry about this. I have already made preparations for the eucalyptus document warehouse. I have already put the drawings I showed the factory manager back to their original places. I even planted a secret whistle to monitor every move in the entire eucalyptus document warehouse.
Everything is under control. If I want this drawing to be there, it will be there. If I want it not to be there, it will not be there. There will definitely be no problems."
"Very good, very good. I'm relieved if you handle this matter. Your Majesty has recovered somewhat, so you don't have to worry. Just do what you should do with peace of mind."
Although there was no real head-on conflict in this turmoil, Wei Zhongxian had already fought against his opponent several times from a distance. Wei Zhongxian, who was overwhelming the enemy, felt an unprecedented pressure this time.
The emperor's health improved during this round, which undoubtedly reminded Lu Xiao that he could not fail.
The most important thing is that he began to find that his disciples and disciples were really useless in this kind of overall confrontation. The only one who could attract his attention was Zhao Jingzhong. But he recently discovered that this guy Zhao Jingzhong
, seems to be thinking a little too much.
When Lu Xiao stood up and was about to leave, Wei Zhongxian added another sentence.
"You and Zhao Jingzhong are rare among my disciples and grandsons. You can get closer when you have time."
Lu Xiao nodded in agreement, and then left thoughtfully.
When he returned to the Jinyiwei station, he saw a large group of colleagues waiting for him. When Lu Xiao came back, a group of people immediately surrounded him.
"Congratulations, Sir, on your promotion."
"Gaosheng?" Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then saw a eunuch next to Wei Zhongxian walking over holding an official uniform.
"Sir Lu, the factory master personally sent this message, congratulations on your promotion to Jinyiwei Town Governor."
The governor has been a fourth-grade official. In the officialdom, he is already a high-ranking official. It seems that he helped Wei Zhongxian pass that test before, and it worked. The official position of the governor will not wait for a day.
Yes, it was delivered directly.
Lu Xiao took over the official position and slid a money bag into the other party's sleeve.
Many colleagues around him were also cheering. There were also a few close ones who were clamoring for Lu Xiao to treat him to a drink.
"Every one of you here counts. I won't come home until I'm drunk at Chunfeng Tower tonight."
"Thank you, sir!!"
After finally dealing with the group of colleagues, Lu Xiao returned to his office and saw Ling Yunkai following him quietly.
"I said Ling Yunkai, what you are doing is an honest job. Can we stop being so sneaky?"
Ling Yunkai was stunned for a moment and touched the file in his arms. He thought to himself that this could be considered an honest job? But as the saying goes, the leader is always right.
"It's your lord. Congratulations on your promotion."
"Well, remember to go drink tonight."
"That will definitely involve me. Sir, this is my re-fabrication... No, after a thorough re-investigation, please take a look at Master Zhou's file."
When it came to business, Lu Xiao also became serious. He took the dossier and carefully reviewed it one by one. It took him half an hour to finish the preliminary reading.
"Okay, you did a good job this time. It basically met my requirements."
"As long as you are satisfied, sir. How about I just go and take care of this matter?"
"What to do?"
"...Is this the eucalyptus?"
"Bullshit, Mr. Zhou is a bachelor of the cabinet. Once this news is made public, it will not be revealed to the world. How can you hold up the general banner?"
Ling Yunkai was stunned for a moment.
"Then do you want to handle this matter yourself?"
"If you think too much, you won't be able to hold on. It would be the same with me. This thing is not meant to be done."
Ling Yunkai was confused, but this matter was obviously of great importance. Lu Xiao didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask easily. At this time, one of Lu Xiao's men ran in and whispered a few words in Lu Xiao's ear.
After Lu Xiao heard this, he put the files on the table away, put them in his arms, and prepared to go out. But when he got to the door, he thought for a moment and turned back to Ling Yunkai.
"You can come too."
Ling Yunkai was overjoyed and hurriedly followed behind.
