No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Lin Mingyan was not oblivious to what was happening outside. She could get some news from outside.

The Fourth Master is a good worker, but he also offends many people.

He did a good job, but not many people in the court spoke well of him, and some even wrote memorials to report him.

But Mr. Ba is different. He is gentle and moderate in his work, and sometimes he would rather suffer losses himself than let his colleagues lose face.

Even if I don't do things as well as the Fourth Master, I can still get a score of 60.

However, those who received his favor were able to exaggerate the 60 points of achievement into 120 points.

In this way, the Eighth Master's reputation is even more famous than that of the Fourth Master.

"What a cunning guy!" Lin Mingyan was a little angry.

The Fourth Master was not angry: "What's the big deal? Isn't this how officials get along?"

“Those who are hardworking and capable may not necessarily be promoted to high positions.”

"Those who are cunning, cunning, and good at talking will definitely be able to get their way."

Huh?

Don’t you understand this very well?

Lin Mingyan thought that the Fourth Master was really too straightforward, which was why he was outshined by the Eighth Master.

She stared in astonishment, her eyes wide open, and said incredulously, "Master? You know all these principles, why do you still do this?"

The Fourth Master's temper can sometimes make people so angry that their lungs hurt.

He was already a good worker, and if he changed his temper, Mr. Ba would have to step aside.

The Fourth Master chuckled, "Why do you do that? Of course it feels good this way."

"Look at Lao Ba's gentle demeanor. Isn't that maintained by his own hardship?"

"Do you think he's really broad-minded and won't get angry? Isn't it just a matter of swallowing your anger?"

He is nothing like that. If someone does something wrong, no matter who they are, he will beat them up.

"Then you should be a little more restrained and not offend anyone," Lin Mingyan was really a little worried.

I was afraid that if the Fourth Master's harsh words evolved a little more, he would be put in a sack and beaten sooner or later.

The Fourth Master pinched her little hand and made a "yeah" gesture: "Then tell me, who can be offended and who should not be offended?"

Lin Mingyan thought about it but couldn't answer.

Given her personality, it would be better not to offend anyone.

But the Fourth Master...

The Fourth Master put her finger in his mouth, took a light bite and said, "It's precisely because I dare to confront anyone that they don't hold grudges."

Being the same to everyone is a sign of true nature.

If you flatter the superiors and bully the subordinates, you will really make enemies.

Lin Mingyan understood this, but still advised: "Then you can be a little softer. Colleague relationships are also important."

The Fourth Master smiled and said with great authority, "I am not a colleague of theirs. A master does not need to have a good relationship with his servants. He only needs to identify talents."

"Old Eighth was born a master, but he treats himself as a servant. He is lowering his status."

"You don't need to do this!"

This statement actually makes some sense.

As modern people, we may not understand the concept of master and servants, but in this specific context, it is very wise.

If we change the identities a little bit, the Qing Dynasty is a company and Emperor Kangxi is the chairman.

The fourth prince and other princes are the chairman's sons and are now gaining experience at the grassroots level of the company.

He doesn't need to have good relationships with his colleagues. As long as the chairman is still there, he is the owner of the company.

It was because she was standing too low, and was worried that the Fourth Master would not get along well with his colleagues, so she forgot about her identity.

Seeing that she understood, the Fourth Master leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Besides, if I get too close to those ministers, what will the Emperor think?"

Lin Mingyan suddenly understood: Yes, the chairman is still here, and his son has a close relationship with the company’s senior executives, so it’s all over!

"Master, you are so awesome!" She threw herself into the Fourth Master's arms and gave him a loud kiss.

The Fourth Master, who was so brave, resourceful and far-sighted, immediately struck her as so handsome.

The Fourth Master certainly enjoyed his lover's admiration, and soon the two of them were sticking together again.

As for the Eighth Master, he had long been forgotten by the two of them. Only the secret guards were still investigating him.

The next day, Lin Mingyan slept until noon. Shisan Niang had already organized the evidence and presented it to her.

Lin Mingyan was a little troubled. If Fei Yanggu did it, she could send the evidence directly to the Infantry Patrol Office.

But this was made by Mr. Ba's people, so it's useless even if I send it over.

It is said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but that is just talk.

Could it be that the Infantry Commander dared to throw the Eighth Master into jail for such a small matter?!

This is all in vain!

When the Fourth Master came back from his shift, he saw that she looked listless.

After asking carefully, he knew the whole story and comforted him: "Old Eighth gave the order, but no matter how it is done, it is still the servants under your command to do it."

"If you can't punish Lao Ba, can't you deal with these minions?"

"Really?" Lin Mingyan asked with a little more energy after hearing this.

The Fourth Master assured, "Don't worry, leave it to your master. He will definitely make them pay the price."

Although he and Lao Ba don't have a good relationship, they are brothers who grew up together.

He didn't believe that Lao Ba would disregard the lives of so many people and still help Fei Yanggu.

At most, his subordinates are too ruthless.

Besides, even if Lao Ba is inhumane, he would not risk his reputation by doing this.

In fact, the Fourth Master knew his younger brother very well. The Eighth Master was so anxious that blisters appeared on his mouth.

He kicked the servant under his door and said: "I asked you to kill someone, and you burned the whole street?! What were you thinking?!"

Wu Zaku Ajige was kicked to his knees and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Eighth Master, please save me!"

This was not the first time he had helped Mr. Ba, but this time the request was a bit difficult.

Not only did he have to capture the woman quietly, he also had to convince people that the two siblings of the Lin family were dead.

Who can do it in such a short time?

Finally he came up with the good idea of setting fire.

After all, other ways of death are easy to detect.

If someone is burned to death, the body will be difficult to identify.

This thing should be foolproof and done beautifully.

But unexpectedly, the street of shacks was so flammable that a fire burned half of the street.

This is being watched...

The Eighth Master was furious: "Save you? How can I save you? The evidence and memorials are already on the Emperor's desk!"

"You better think about how to make this right now, and don't let this burden me down!"

Doesn’t Mr. Ba want to help?

This was a servant he had trained for several years and had finally managed to get to the court and gain a foothold.

Now it will be damaged because of this incident.

But if I don't give up on him, I will inevitably be implicated, which is even more inappropriate...
