Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 186 I Want to Be Your Dog! (5k)

A country cannot be without a monarch for a day.

Kaifeng Prefecture cannot be without a prefect for a day.

The prefect of Kaifeng arrived at his post a few days earlier than Su Yun. The day after Hu Zongyu confirmed his departure, he came to hand over government affairs and started working.

Li Qingchen succeeded Hu Zongyu as prefect.

After a few days on the job, Li Qingchen discovered that the position of Kaifeng prefect was indeed not easy to do, and the complexity of the work was beyond his imagination.

The most complicated position he had held before was the chief judge of Jingdong Prison. But even though it was very busy, it was still nothing compared to the position of Kaifeng prefect.

When this man was busy, his temper would easily get bad. He scolded and drove away several clerks in succession, and even the judge and the prosecutor were criticized a few times.

After finally taking a break to drink some water, he saw the registrar coming in. Li Qinghe glanced at the registrar and seemed to have the last name Deng?

"My humble servant greets you at the Southern Court." said the visitor.

Li Qingchen asked, "General Deng? Is there anything important?"

Li Qingchen could tell at a glance that Officer Deng was anxious, and his heart tightened. He hoped that nothing serious would happen. He was already overwhelmed, and if a few more complicated things happened, he would lose his life.

Military Officer Deng stammered, "Please move the six offices to the east courtyard."

Li Qingchen relaxed his brows after hearing this. It was just a move, which was not a big deal. He waved his hand and said, "Whether the six offices want to move or not is your business. You decide. You don't need to inform me."

Assistant General Deng said anxiously, "Your Excellency, if the six ministries are to be relocated, it will probably take quite a long time, and during the relocation period, it will be difficult to carry out all official duties normally. In my humble opinion, it is better not to move."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingchen was immediately furious: "It is you who wanted to move, and it is you who said it was affecting official business. Are you here to make fun of me?"

Officer Deng said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, I am not here to entertain you, there is actually something behind this matter."

Li Qingchen snorted coldly and said, "If you have something to say, then say it. Why are you crying over me?"

Deng Canjun said quickly: "It's not a big deal. We have added a Tongpan in the Southern Court, but this Tongpan is not a permanent position. There has probably been no Tongpan in the past 120 years since the founding of the country, so there is no special Tongpan Hall.

Therefore, our new Tongpan was very dissatisfied with this. He also looked down on the vacant courtyard, thinking it was too narrow and dilapidated, so he wanted the Caoyuan of our Six Caos.

Logically speaking, the Tongpan is the second-in-command of the Southern Court. Except for the Yayuan of your majesty, he can have any set of the other courtyards he wants.

There is naturally no problem with our six departments, but the situation is different with the Li Department. Whether it is the Household Department, the Criminal Department, or any other department, there are a large number of documents.

The documents accumulated over the past 120 years have already piled up into a mountain. If they are to be moved, the manpower and material resources required will be too enormous.

It would be fine if I was just a little busy, but once I move, it really affects my work.”

Li Qingchen was already feeling dizzy, and when he heard this he became furious and was about to scold him, but then he was startled.

That man is a Tongpan. Although his official rank is low, he can supervise the prefect like himself. He is not just any random person.

Moreover, the right and wrong of the case is still unknown, so don't let others use you as a knife.

Haha, the new Tongpan is no ordinary person, he is the emperor’s favorite, the new top scholar Su Yun!

Li Qingchen said, "How about I give him my yard?"

Manager Deng suddenly felt a slight sweat on his back and kept saying, "How can that be possible? How can that be possible!"

Li Qingchen laughed and said, "So what do you mean?"

Deng, the chief, said quickly, "Could you persuade Su Tongpan to choose a house from the empty courtyard?"

Li Qingchen frowned and said, "The courtyards of the left and right halls are both inferior to the main courtyard. Why don't you let the left and right halls move? The left and right halls are not like the six ministries. They have so many documents to move."

Director Deng said, "President Su doesn't like it. I told him that except for your courtyard, I will immediately clear out any other courtyards that he likes."

When Li Qingchen heard this, he immediately understood the plot of this recorder and became furious: This guy tried to set a trap for Su Yun but was tricked by him instead. Now he came to him to use him as a knife. If he is not careful, he will be harmed by this traitor immediately!

After his anger subsided, Li Qingchen was a little surprised: Su Yun was only eighteen years old, did he really see through the trap set for him by this veteran official and fight back, or was it just a coincidence?

If it was just a coincidence, it would be fine, but if he used the same trick to counterattack General Deng, then this young man would be incredible!

He was able to detect this because he had been in officialdom for so many years, and that young man was less than 20 years old. Moreover, this was his first time in officialdom, yet he had forced a veteran official into this state.

Ha, interesting.

Thinking of this, Li Qingchen hummed and said, "I am very busy, so I don't have time to take care of these things. Su Tongpan is the governor of the state, and even I have to be controlled by him.

"Is it possible for me to control what he wants to do? I have only heard that the magistrate supervises the prefect, but how can the prefect supervise the magistrate? Are you trying to make me make a mistake?"

Director Deng was shocked and said, "How dare I? I was just trying to persuade them. I didn't mean to supervise them! As long as you persuaded them a little, with your status as a lord..."

"How dare you!" Li Qingchen shouted, "Why should I use my position as prefect to clean up your mess? Who do you think you are? You are such a fool!

General Deng, you are just a registrar from a humble background. How dare you set a trap for Su Tongpan, an official who is a Jinshi graduate? You are simply courting your own death!

If I had the power to take off your green robe, you would become a white man today, humph! Get out of here!"

Director Deng looked pale and fled from the detention center in a panic.

Li Qingchen retracted his gaze, snorted coldly, and said, "What kind of dog dares to bully me?"

He thought for a while and shouted, "Someone come!"

A clerk came hurriedly. He was his trusted confidant who he always kept with him wherever he went.

Li Qingchen said, "Go check the matter between Su Yun and the military officer and see what the situation is."

The clerk nodded and went there immediately.

At night, the clerk came back and whispered the story to Li Qingchen.

Li Qingchen showed a look of amazement, and said, "That means that the bastard had just dug a hole when Su Yun discovered it, and immediately asked for Cao Yuan?"

The clerk nodded quickly and said, "That's right. I interviewed many people in Cao's courtyard and finally found the clerk who was present that day. It is indeed true."

Li Qingchen laughed and said, "Young people are to be feared, young people are to be feared, incredible, incredible.

Well, I heard that Li Gongze (Li Chang) once praised Su Yun for his talent as Han Zhongxian. Now it seems that his ability in the officialdom is indeed not low. "

The clerk said, "Do you want to help resolve this matter? Now everyone in the Southern Court is saying that it was you who instructed that bastard to show off his power to Judge Su Tong."

Li Qingchen's anger flashed across his face when he heard this, and he laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own plans."

After being scolded by Li Qingchen, Manager Deng felt his hands and feet were cold. He calmed down a little, tidied his clothes, and returned to his office.

When it was time to get off work, he waited for a while before taking a carriage, but did not go home. Instead, he went straight to the east of the city, entered a mansion, and met the owner, Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu laughed when he saw Deng, and asked, "So, did that boy fall for your trick? Whose yard did he choose?"

Director Deng said bitterly, "He picked the courtyard of the Six Caos."

Zhang Xu groaned and said, "He is quite capable, huh."

Zhang Xu was not quite satisfied, but he just made a random move. If it worked, it would just cause trouble for Su Yun. If it didn't, it didn't matter.

Zhang Xu waved his hand, looking rather uninterested, and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Director Deng immediately said anxiously: "Zhang Canzheng, now Su Yun wants us six Caos to move out, how should this be resolved?"

Zhang Xu didn't care much and said, "If he likes it, then just move it." Director Deng was very anxious and said, "How can that be possible? The documents of the six ministries are piled up like a mountain..."

Zhang Xu looked at Director Deng coldly and said, "Don't tell me these things. It's just a move. Why are you delaying your work?"

Director Deng's hands and feet were cold. He said, "Zhang, you can't burn your bridges. In my current situation, I have offended my immediate superior. If I move, I will also offend six or seven hundred colleagues in the Sixth Department. I will not be able to survive in the Sixth Department anymore!"

Zhang Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you transfer to where you want to go."

Director Deng felt like he was falling into an ice cellar. As an official of mixed background, he had basically worked in the Six Departments of the Southern Court throughout his life. If he was transferred to another place, he would lose all his foundation and his life would be difficult.

He originally wanted to curry favor with Zhang Xu, the Vice-Chancellor, but he didn't expect that something went wrong and he was thrown away like a worn-out shoe!
However, Director Deng did not dare to lose his temper in front of Zhang Xu. As Zhang Xu was the prime minister, how could a clerk and military officer of humble origin like him offend him?

Manager Deng stumbled out of Zhang's house, feeling that his future was bleak and his life was meaningless.

He got on the carriage in a daze, and the driver asked, "Master, shall we go home?"

Manager Deng shuddered, his eyes were dull, and he murmured, "Go home... go home... can't go back!"

Director Deng's eyes suddenly became ferocious, and he whispered, "Let's go to Su's house on Zhuque Street! I can't just sit there and wait for death! Zhang Xu, you are playing with me. Although I am a small person, I can't be fooled at will!"

……

When Su Yun returned from Kaifeng Prefecture, he found his body lying in state at home.

The marriage is still on the agenda and a date has not been set. Originally, he was going to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to work every day, but after this incident, he returned home.

Anyway, he won’t be the one who is anxious.

You can get the salary and stay at home and lie down, but this kind of job is not too comfortable.

It is almost May and the weather is gradually getting hotter. When night falls, it is a good time to enjoy the cool air in the yard.

Zhou Zhan and Xu Jian chatted with them and were also very happy.

Ah Hui came in hurriedly from outside and said, "Ah Yun, there is a man who calls himself Deng Qi outside asking to see you. He is wearing a green official robe."

"Deng Qi?"

Su Yun frowned, then raised his eyes and said with a laugh, "Let him come in."

Ah Hui hurried over and brought people in.

As Su Yun guessed, it was indeed Mr. Deng.

When Chief Deng saw Su Yun, he knelt down and kowtowed without caring about the presence of others, saying in a pitiful voice: "Su Jianzhou, please forgive me this time. I will definitely follow your lead in the future. If you have anything to do, I will do it beautifully for you. I only ask you to forgive me this time!"

Both Xu Jian and Zhou Zhan's eyes widened.

This man was wearing a green official robe, and was at least a seventh-rank official. How could he lose all his dignity and kneel down to beg Ayun for mercy?
Su Yun, however, lay there motionless, and asked leisurely, "Why?"

Yes, why, why did you come to cheat me, and now you are kneeling down to beg for mercy, and you want me to let you go?

Deng Qi also knew that he was wrong in this matter and could not blame Su Yun. Now he only hated Zhang Xu.

Deng Qi knelt and straightened his back, looked at Su Yun and said, "Su Jianzhou, to be honest, I was instructed by someone to do this to make you look bad and embarrass yourself!
The person who ordered me to do this was the prime minister, Zhang Xu, the vice chancellor of state affairs!"

Su Yun stood up with his hands on the recliner, looked at Deng Qi in surprise, and said, "Zhang Li? No, I have no grudge against him. I heard that he and Wang Gui also broke up. Last time at the imperial lecture, he supported me. What is he trying to do now?"

Deng Qi was also a little confused. He was only instructed by Zhang Xu to do this, and how could he know the affairs of important people?

Su Yun looked at Deng Qi's bewildered expression, and he actually believed it a little more. It was normal for a small person like him not to know. If he knew, that would be weird.

Then it can be basically confirmed that it was Zhang Xu who did it, but I can't figure it out, what was he trying to do?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now, and go find Zhang Dun to ask later.

Su Yun looked at Deng Qi and said, "You have the support of the Prime Minister, why are you begging me for mercy?"

Deng Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I am just a pawn that will be thrown away after being used up. To be honest, I just came out of Zhang Li's house. He didn't care whether I lived or died. Judge Su, I don't want to die!"

Su Yun smiled and said, "You won't die. At most, you will have a bad career and suffer some setbacks. Your subordinates will also look down on you and often cause trouble for you. You are far from dying."

Deng Qi started to cry and said, "What's the difference between that and death? It's better to be dead!"

Su Yun raised his eyebrows: You are quite ambitious.

But what does it have to do with me?

Su Yun waved his hand and said, "Okay, go now."

Deng Qi kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Su Jianzhou, please forgive me this time and just treat me like a fart!"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "It's true that someone else ordered you to do it, but you did it. I have no reason to let you go, and I didn't do anything to you."

Deng Qi said: "You asked me to move to the Six Caos. For me, once this happens, I will lose all my prestige in the Six Caos."

Su Yun smiled and said, "But if you don't move, where is my prestige?"

Su Yun's face was cold, and he laughed and said, "What a piece of shit! Your prestige is prestige, but my prestige is not prestige?

You want to harm me, and now you want me to give up my own interests to help you? Come on, tell me, how dare you think of this, what on earth is in your mind? "

Deng Qi looked up at Su Yun, his eyes were full of cruelty, and said: "Su Jianzhou, I am a dog, I want to be your dog!"

After these words were spoken, Su Yun and Zhou Zhan, Xu Jian, A Hui and others behind him were stunned.

Eh?
Eh?
Eh?
This made Su Yun at a loss.

Even if Deng Qi suddenly got up and fought with him, he could accept it, but this kind of operation... was too fucking smooth!
Deng Qi gritted his teeth and continued, "You must think that I am a person who is fickle and betrays my master for fame and fortune. I am not only untrustworthy, but also a villain!
This villain admits that I, Deng Qi, am indeed not a gentleman, but I am not an erratic villain either.

I originally wanted to curry favor with Zhang Xu, so I worked hard for him. But now he won't even help me to settle this small matter, and instead lets me fend for myself. I am not convinced!

The villain still wants to make progress. The villain wants to make progress too much. The villain does not want to make no progress in his entire life!
Su Jianzhou, I know you don't trust me, but what if my life and property depend on you?"

Ok?
Deng Qi gritted his teeth and said, "If Su Jianzhou is willing to accept this little dog of mine, I am willing to hand over all the evidence of my corruption and abuse of power over the years to you!

If you want me dead, please hand the evidence to the authorities, and my future will be ruined!
In this way, you control my future, and you don't have to worry about me stabbing you in the back!"

Su Yun looked at Deng Qi and was secretly shocked. This man is a ruthless person!

For the sake of future, one is willing to even put his life and property into the hands of others!

Su Yun stared at Deng Qi and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will pretend to agree to your request and then hand your evidence over to the authorities?"

Deng Qi said decisively: "That is my fate, I accept it.

However, you will lose one of your most loyal subordinates!
As the ancients said, don't use your strength to make the best use of it. Now that you have the handle on the villain, you don't have to worry about my backlash. You can trust me completely!
The Southern Yamen is an extremely complicated government office. You have no roots in the Southern Yamen and no one you can trust. Whatever you want to do will be fraught with difficulties.

I am the head of the Six Departments. If I help you, no matter what you want to do, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Su Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll wait for your evidence."

Deng Qi was overjoyed when he heard this. He banged his head against the floor and said loudly, "Yes! From now on, I will go through life and death for you, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Su Yun stood up and helped Deng Qi up, saying, "I won't let you go through fire and water. If you are loyal to me, I will not let you suffer. If you... hehe, even if you want to live, you will have no chance. Go back and think it over carefully."

Deng Qi shook his head and said, "Master, don't think about it. From now on, I will be your most loyal dog. I will bite whoever you tell me to bite!"
