"Brother Xue, this old man is going to the capital for trial this time, so you won't be surprised!" Wang Shizhen said straight to the point.
Xue Poye stared at his rather pale face, although his eyes were shining brightly, revealing a bit of wisdom, but the whole person seemed much older than the first time he saw him, and looked very tired.
Xue Poye smiled faintly, but did not speak.
Wang Shizhen looked up at the sky, and after a while, said softly: "Although it is said that this time I will go to the capital for trial, but the result has already been decided. Regardless of whether I am guilty or not, the seat of the prefect of Hangzhou has been lost."
Xue Poye let out an "oh".
"Actually, this is what I expected. I can't blame heaven or earth. Even Tan Yushi can't blame it. The reason is that this position is too important. The prefect of Hangzhou is in charge of Hangzhou's tax money. There are too many peeping people in the most developed southern states and counties in Chu!" Wang Shizhen said very emotionally, but also very straightforwardly.
"What does your lord mean to say that the root cause of your trial this time is not because of corruption and perverting the law to anger the people, but because someone no longer wants you to sit in the seat of the prefect of Hangzhou?" Xue Poye asked slowly, rubbing his nose.
Wang Shizhen smiled lightly, and said: "A child can be taught, and he can understand it at a point." After a pause, he continued: "You should know in your heart that Mr. Xiao Moting Chenyin and I are life-and-death friends, how could I have the heart to make up crimes and arrest him Going to prison is just a matter of life... Hehe, brother Xue, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Xue Poye was thoughtful. He had doubted this for a long time. He guessed that Lao Tan forced Wang Shizhen to do it behind the scenes. Wang Shizhen took the order out of helplessness. It was placed on Wang Shizhen's head, and later Xiao Suzhen's petition for her father hit Lao Tan's heart, and directed the scene of Qian Ziyan's joint letter. Everything happened, Lao Tan has always been behind the scenes, secretly manipulating it.
But Xue Poye didn't understand why Wang Shizhen said these words to himself. A person like him should be very shrewd. Under common sense, these words would naturally not be mentioned to an ordinary young man.
"You don't have to wonder why I said these things to you!" Wang Shizhen, with his good looks, had already seen Xue Poye's thoughts, and said softly: "An old man has too many words in his stomach, and he always has to spit out a few words."
"Caomin is listening!" Xue Poye smiled.
Wang Shizhen stared at Xue Poye, and said for a moment: "Brother Xue, you are different from Master Tan!"
"Master Wang is wrong!" Xue Poye said with a smile: "Cao Min worships Master Tan now and respects him as a teacher. He is a role model for Cao Min, and Cao Min will gradually be like him."
Wang Shizhen smiled faintly, shook his head, and sighed: "Brother Xue, if you don't experience the officialdom, you won't be able to feel the crisis."
Xue Poye agrees with this statement, the officialdom is the most treacherous place in the human heart, although I often hear that the intrigues in the officialdom are dangerous, but without personal experience, I definitely can't feel it.
"Haha!" Xue Poye laughed twice, and said, "I'm a grassroots person, and I don't care about official affairs."
Wang Shizhen shook his head, showing a strange smile, and said lightly: "Now that you are worshiping under Mr. Tan, it will be a matter of time before you enter an official career." After a pause, he said softly: "I just want to tell Brother Xue, Many things should never be deceived by the surface, the so-called good is sometimes just the beginning of taking advantage of it.”
Xue Poye frowned. Wang Shizhen's words were cryptic, but Xue Poye could fully hear the hidden meaning. Now Lao Tan was kind to him and cared for him. Wang Shizhen's words were nothing more than It's just the name of Lao Tan. All this is just the beginning of using oneself.
This world is a world of utilization. You use me and I use you. In Xue Poye's view, it is just a normal relationship in life.
"Master Wang's words will be remembered by Caomin." Xue Poye rubbed his nose and said: "The teacher will definitely teach Caomin how to distinguish between good people and bad people in the future, who is using me, and who is sincerely good to me, Caomin will definitely tell the difference. clear!"
Xue Poye knew in his heart that Wang Shizhen's words just now had the meaning of sowing discord, and when he said these words, it showed that he and Lao Tan were firmly on the same front and could not be shaken.
Either don't stand in line, or stand dead if you want to stand!
Wang Shizhen closed her eyes with a calm expression.
"My lord, maybe you think that there is a difference between good people and bad people in this world, and as the source of right and wrong, the distinction between good and evil in officialdom is even more obvious!" Xue Poye smiled and said bluntly: "But the grassroots don't see it that way. If only in terms of interests and powers, there would be no good and evil in the mutual struggle, the winner is the king and the loser will be the bandit. In factional disputes, if someone loses in the end, it may be on the wrong team.”
The corners of Wang Shizhen's eyes twitched, and he slowly opened them, looked at Xue Poye, and sighed after a long while: "Unexpectedly, you are young, but you have unique insights. Mr. Tan did not miss you when he accepted you."
Xue Poye laughed, and said, "Your Excellency, you are too proud!"
Wang Shizhen pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Brother Xue, your first duty as an official in the future is to be loyal to the emperor and the people." Shaking his head, he said: "Master Tan is in his position, and he is entangled in official affairs. I'm afraid I have no time to think about Li Min."
Seeing his serious expression, Xue Poye seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe Xue Poye won't really respect someone from the bottom of his heart, but he does respect those who care about the suffering of the people. Many people say they are for the people and the country, but how many actually do it.
In Hangzhou for more than half a year, I heard a lot about Wang Shizhen's reputation, most of which were praises and praises, and his rule was indeed what the people wanted, and the people's livelihood was prosperous.
Xue Poye looked at that pale face, and said sternly, "Maybe Caomin will never set foot in the officialdom, but Caomin must keep in mind what your lord said, and dare not forget."
Only then did Wang Shizhen show a gratified smile, looked at the sky, and murmured: "I'm going, no accident, he is going to be in this position, I just hope he can... hey...!" Heavy.
Xue Poye squinted his eyes, knowing that Wang Shizhen was worried about the performance of the next magistrate.
"Your Excellency summoned me to talk in detail, I must have something to explain!" Xue Poye smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you might as well just say it."
Although it was a knee-to-neck conversation with a third-rank official, Xue Poye did not feel restrained or nervous, and was extremely calm, as if the other party was just an ordinary old man, and Wang Shizhen felt like a very ordinary old man at this time.
"Sure enough, you are smart. The old man has always regarded you as a person, and it seems that he has some vision." Wang Shizhen said with a smile.
Xue Poye was taken aback for a moment, it turned out that Wang Shizhen was really flattered that he regarded herself as a person.
"I heard that a restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy was brought back to life in less than a month under your hands. This is not something everyone can do." Wang Shizhen smiled a little strangely, and continued: "In order to help me, Guxuan, To actually send someone to Lanyuexuan, intending to disturb the joint letter from your place, but unexpectedly, you repelled him with a few words, it really is a hero born a boy!"
Xue Poye was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and thought that "Guxuan" was Mou Inspector. It turned out that Kong Xiucai was really sent there, and he suddenly realized.
Hearing that Wang Shizhen mentioned a joint letter, which was aimed at him, Xue Poye smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Xue, I have something to ask, and I hope to help you!" Wang Shizhen looked serious and his voice became low.
Xue Poye frowned, the majestic fourth-rank magistrate had something to ask himself, a junior, and few people would believe him when he said it, so he clasped his fists and said, "My lord tells me, if you can do what you can, you should do it yourself!"
Wang Shizhen nodded, and said: "This time I went to Beijing, it can be said that I have prepared long ago, and I have nothing to worry about, but...!" Sighing, he finally said: "I have been in office for four years, and I have devoted myself to people's livelihood. It is not a great achievement. But I also ask myself to be honest and upright.”
Xue Poye said seriously: "The grass people are deeply admired!"
Wang Shizhen's face was muscular, and she smiled wryly: "It's just that I was diligent in official duties and neglected my wife and children. This old man is over fifty this year, and he only had a pair of children when he was in his forties. After birth, he rarely cares about him. Now he is in Beijing. I don't know when we can see each other again, hehe, those who are dejected and ecstasy, the only thing is to say goodbye!"
Xue Poye was a little emotional, it turned out that Wang Shizhen turned out to be a good old man.
With a long sigh and indescribable sentimentality, Wang Shizhen said slowly: "This time I came to Beijing in a hurry, my family has not yet settled down, and my husband has always been poor, and the family does not have much food. I don’t know how to spend my days, I... hey...!" Another long sigh.
It turned out that he was worried about his wife and children, but Xue Poye felt a little lamented. A few days ago, Wang Shizhen was a powerful official, but now he has to worry about the livelihood of his wife and children. The world is really unpredictable.
"What does your lord mean?" Xue Poye was thoughtful.
"Brother Xue, I have no power today, so naturally not many people will take care of their wives. In fact, even if there are people who are willing to help, those people with ulterior motives will definitely try their best to stop them." Wang Shizhen smiled wryly: "In this It is an eye-opener to meet Brother Xue before leaving on the road, but I beg Brother Xue to take care of me, if there is anyone else who can help me at this time, it is only Brother Xue."
Xue Poye's heart was shocked, unexpectedly Wang Shizhen wanted to help his family by himself, he was caught off guard.
"My lord, I think... Tan Yushi shouldn't be such a person, right?" Xue Poye rubbed his nose and smiled wryly: "Things that affect the family's children, wives and children, old Tan... oh, Mr. Tan shouldn't bother to think about it?"
Wang Shizhen waved his hand and said, "Brother Xue has misunderstood. Although Tan Yushi has some responsibility for this official's conviction, I still admire Tan Yushi's character. Ci, can also be regarded as an extremely disciplined official."
Xue Poye chuckled, unexpectedly, Lao Tan still had a good impression in Wang Shizhen's mind, and Wang Shizhen's spirit was not small.
"You mean...he...!" Xue Poye thought of the obscene and flattering He Tongpan.
Wang Shizhen nodded.
