Everyone thinks that I created cultivation

"My lord, Da Sima asks to see you." The steward saluted Lin Lexian respectfully.

Lin Lexian teased the bird and said something casually. "Bring him in."

"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law!" Mu Huarong maintained the relationship between the two of them very well these years, and he always referred to him as son-in-law when there were no outsiders.

"It's not long since the early morning, so you came here in a hurry, but is there something urgent?" Lin Lexian kept teasing the bird with his hands, and his eyes were fixed on the bird in the cage, looking very fond of it.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law just received a letter from Jiangnan." Mu Huarong quickly explained his purpose of coming.

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Lexian interrupted casually. "Letter from Jiangnan? Have some officials in Jiangning County been dealt with?"

"You already know?" Mu Huarong asked back.

"It's not a small thing to be bold if you are not capable. If you are greedy for the money to build the water gate, even I dare to hide it. Tell me, how much has been dealt with this time?" Lin Lexian sneered, but his words were a little bit random.

It is not difficult to see that he also has dissatisfaction with those people.What is dissatisfied is not that the subordinates were greedy for the money for the construction of the water gate, but that they did not report the matter to him.

Hearing what Lin Lexian said, Mu Huarong understood that the two people's "knowing" did not mean the same thing. "Including county guards and supervisors, all suspected participants and insiders in Jiangning County have been sent to prison."

Lin Lexian's hand poking the bird suddenly exerted force, and directly passed the bird teasing stick through the bird's body.A shrill scream sounded, and the bird struggled for a while, then fell down in the cage without a sound.

"Say it again." Lin Lexian turned around, with obvious anger on his face.

"Father-in-law, more than [-]% of the officials in Jiangning County are imprisoned. Now the evidence is on the way to the capital, and His Majesty only needs a word to deal with it." Mu Huarong repeated.His already slightly drooping head drooped even lower, making him appear more humble.

"It's all for the others! Sheriff? Supervisor? How have you taught your subordinates all these years? How could you go to jail so easily after being greedy for money?!" Lin Lexian picked up a bag of birds on the table Food, threw it towards Mu Huarong.

Mu Huarong didn't dare to hide, and let the bird food hit him.A lot of bird food splashed out of his pocket and covered him all over.

The sheriff is his disciple, and his behavior is not thorough enough. As a teacher, he is indeed responsible.Although the inspector was from Jiangnan, his relationship with him was not that close. On the contrary, Lin Lexian personally selected him.

But in this situation, how could Mu Huarong dare to argue.

He could only whisper, "The Watergate incident is just an introduction. Some of the things they did before have been found out, and that's why so many people have been imprisoned."

"What happened before? They dared to be so crazily greedy for the money to build the water gate. It seems that they committed a lot of things before." Lin Lexian knew that there must be nothing wrong with what he did before, that's why he raised them guts.

"It seems that you don't even need to be rescued, but it saves you trouble." Saying this, Lin Lexian's voice was a bit chilly.

The county guards and supervisors are all important members of one party, and it is not easy to train one.He spent a lot of effort on these two people, how could he be happy when they were dealt with before they brought him much benefit? !

These two positions are vacant, and the person who fills them may not necessarily be his people!

"Except for a few officials who have not had time to commit crimes soon, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep the others." Mu Huarong did not dare to hide it.

Lin Lexian looked at Mu Huarong with a bit of coldness in his eyes, and sneered even more on his face, "This is the good apprentice you have taken in?! A few days ago, you praised him for being very good at handling things, why don't you say it now?!"

"Little son-in-law has poor eyesight." Mu Huarong didn't dare to look at Lin Lexian, but he also felt his gaze.That icy cold feeling chilled him slightly.

"Will my eyes be brighter next time when I see people!" Lin Lexian didn't care about Mu Huarong's fault anymore.

He also knew that this had little to do with Mu Huarong, and he had met that junior a few times.It looked pretty good when I was in the capital, but who ever thought of sending it down became wild.

Mu Huarong was relieved to hear this. "Take this as a warning."

"This time, the one who dealt with the Jiangnan officials is the governor who went to rescue the disaster?" Lin Lexian's tone seemed to be back to normal, but there was a cold gleam in his eyes.

"Before Yan Wei went to Jiangnan, I had already warned him, how dare he do such a thing?! Unless he also wants to go to prison with Jiangnan officials!" Mu Huarong said quickly.

He was not in a hurry to get rid of Yan Wei, but to get rid of himself.At the beginning, the task of warning Yan Wei, but he did it himself.If Yan Wei made a mistake, he might also write a note to Lin Lexian.

"Although Yan Wei imprisoned several Jiangnan officials, it was all a shield pushed by the county guard. Before doing so, Yan Wei also greeted the county guard and them in advance."

"It's neither Yan Wei, but the county captain of Jiangning County." Lin Lexian frowned slightly, "I remember a junior named Huo Mingwu?"

Huo Mingwu had been at odds with them before, and had even had friction.Lin Lexian, a man who manages everything every day, remembers his name very clearly.

"Exactly." Mu Huarong nodded, with a somewhat tangled expression on his face, "This Huo Mingwu is also difficult to deal with! He probably has evidence long ago, but he has never made a move. I don't know why this time. Why."

"One is because everyone is paying attention to the situation in Jiangning County, and the county guards will definitely deal with it severely. The other is because of the disaster relief funds." Lin Lexian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Uh... the amount of the disaster relief funds issued this time is indeed not large." Mu Huarong's voice became weaker and weaker, but he didn't have much guilt.

It's not just his own idea that he regards the treasury's silver as the lifeblood, Lin Lexian also supports it very much.If Lin Lexian hadn't secretly favored him, how could Mu Huarong easily reduce the amount of money allocated each time?

"There is a mysterious doctor in the south of the Yangtze River to help, after all, no one can die."

"Huo Mingwu and the other ministers who claim to be benevolent and righteous are not only concerned about whether people die, but also want to make the people live comfortably." Lin Lexian has been in the officialdom for so long, so he naturally knows what kind of virtue his opponent has.

"Jiangning County has just been hit by a catastrophe, and a group of corrupt officials have been arrested. No matter what, they have to appease the people. Naturally, they have a reason to ask His Majesty for disaster relief funds again."

"Everyone is not greedy enough." Mu Huarong couldn't help but comment.

Lin Lexian quite agrees with his evaluation.His face softened a lot, and a smile appeared on his lips. "This time the news came from Yan Wei, right?"

"Father-in-law is wise." Mu Huarong praised casually.

"He's quite sensible." Lin Lexian sat on the chair beside him, leaning back slightly, "He did a good job in disaster relief! If it were someone else, I'm afraid he might not have the same courage as him. Put aside your identity and mix with those muddy legs, and fight for yourself a good name."

"My son-in-law also thinks he can be promoted." Mu Huarong said flatteringly.

"We don't need to promote him in a short period of time! No one can suppress his contribution to disaster relief. A few days ago, I heard that old man Wei talked to someone about promoting Yan Wei."

Speaking of this, the corners of Lin Lexian's lips twitched slightly, "The old man only sees whether the ministers are doing things for the people, but he doesn't know which queue Yan Wei is standing in at all! When the old man reacts, he must have a pretty face very!"

Mu Huarong was pleased when he heard Lin Lexian call Wei Jinglun an 'old man'. On weekdays in the court, he, the great Sima, was often taught a lesson by Wei Jinglun.

However, due to his status, Mu Huarong dared not open his mouth to respond.Although there were no outsiders present, if Yinghe got used to it and accidentally showed his feet outside, it would be a fatal mistake.

Lin Lexian quickly suppressed his smile. "You haven't replied to Yan Wei yet?"

"Without the instructions of my father-in-law, how could my son-in-law dare to reply to the letter without authorization!" Mu Huarong originally had such a glimmer of hope, hoping that Mu Huarong would be able to turn the tide, so how could he reply the letter in advance.

"You should go back now." Lin Lexian glanced at Mu Huarong, "Tell him to ignore the Jiangnan incident and return to Beijing as soon as possible, so as not to be tainted with shame."

"Okay!" Mu Huarong wrote a reply letter directly in front of Lin Lexian, showed Lin Lexian the written letter, tied it at the feet of 'Xunying' and let him take it to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Although we have lost some officials from Jiangning County, we have also gained Yan Wei. His Majesty will definitely value Yan Wei when he comes back this time. Generally speaking, we are not at a disadvantage." Mu Huarong carefully looked at Lin Lexian's expression .

Before Mu Huarong came, he knew that Lin Lexian would be furious when he heard about Jiangnan, and he dared to come here confidently because of Yan Wei's attitude.

"It's not a loss? But it's not much." Lin Lexian looked at Mu Huarong with a look of hatred, "You have time to weigh the gains and losses, so why not think about how to recover Jiangnan's losses."

"There are so many vacant positions in the south of the Yangtze River that have to be filled. When I get back, I will take a closer look at the people under my command to see who is suitable to go to the top."

Then Mu Huarong thought of something else and hurriedly said.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple to arrange for people to go there this time. It's better to look at Jiangnan and see what officials from the bottom can be directly promoted. The officials in the county have lost a lot, and we still have a lot of people in the county. "

"Arrangement of officials is not in a hurry, we have to wait for the officials in Jiangnan to be dealt with." Lin Lexian glanced in Jiangnan's direction, "By then, Yan Wei will be back. You can discuss it to see who is suitable. When Yan Wei raises it, it will be much better than you and me."

"What father-in-law said is true." Mu Huarong nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, you don't have to speak well of me here, go do your work." Lin Lexian waved his hand towards Mu Huarong.

"My son-in-law is leaving."

As soon as Mu Huarong left the courtyard, the butler came in to serve him.

Lin Lexian glanced at the housekeeper, then at the birdcage. "Find a place to bury it. No matter how you say it, you have been with me for so long."

"Yes." The butler looked up at the dead bird in the cage, and his expression remained unchanged, as he was somewhat accustomed to this.
