The April night was a little chillier.
Under nightfall, a carriage stopped outside the Cao family's residence in the north of the city.
On the carriage, it was Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao. The two of them took a car to the outside of the house, and an entourage came to knock on the door. When the door opened, the attendant announced his intention, and the concierge quickly went to inform him.
After a short time, the concierge came back and said, "Follow me."
Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao entered hand in hand and went straight to the study room in the backyard to stand.
"I've met the county captain."
Lin Feng bowed his hands.
Bai Yuyao also bowed to greet her. Although Lin Feng was known as the Bai family's son-in-law, no matter what, she was Lin Feng's wife. So when Bai Yuyao met Cao Zheng this time, he stood aside honestly.
Cao Zheng is about forty years old, with a tall build and a beard under his chin, which makes him look powerful.
His eyes were extremely sharp.
Cao Zheng also looked at Lin Feng.
For Cao Zheng, he didn't take it seriously when he came to visit. Cao Zheng heard about what happened in Qing Yu Tang today. Not only did Lin Feng show off his excellent talents, but his words were also sharp, leaving Li Yu speechless and scolding Gou Lianfu to death.
Lin Feng solved the chaotic situation in the Bai family quickly.
This young man is not simple.
Cao Zheng said calmly: "Lin Feng, Bai Yuyao, what's the matter with your overnight visit?"
Lin Feng said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Are you here to promote your official career as a county captain?"
A flash of light flashed across Cao Zheng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "My little son-in-law talks nonsense about my official career, and his tone is not small."
A compelling momentum burst out from Cao Zheng.
In particular, Cao Zheng, as a county lieutenant, was in charge of arresting thieves, etc., and he was even more fierce. A look that was even more fierce, making people's hearts tremble.
Bai Yuyao was a little worried when she heard this.
As the daughter of a merchant, she was instinctively afraid when facing Cao Zheng, and her confidence suddenly weakened by three points.
Lin Feng was neither humble nor arrogant, and reached out to pat the back of Bai Yuyao's hand. He looked calm and said unhurriedly: "The son-in-law is also a human being, why can't we talk about official career? It is said that the authorities are confused, but bystanders can see clearly. The county captain looks at his official career like flowers in the fog, unable to see clearly. I am an outsider, but I It’s crystal clear.”
Cao Zheng looked at Lin Feng again.
Although the Lin Feng in front of him was a son-in-law, his calm demeanor was not simple.
Cao Zheng has met many people, but very few like Lin Feng.
Cao Zheng said coldly: "I would like to hear it. What reason can you give me? If you can't give me a reason, your Bai family will not only face Li Yu's pressing steps, but you will also have to face me. The fury of thunder.”
Lin Fengxin said: "The county lieutenant has always acted fairly in Yongning County, won the hearts of the people, and had considerable political achievements. However, the county lieutenant has been in office four times in fifteen years and has never moved."
"There was a county magistrate in Yongning County in the past who suddenly became a county magistrate. When a county magistrate becomes a county magistrate, that's it. After all, the county magistrate is the second-in-command and has a greater official than you. But the six ministers of the county government are surrounded by officials. I will surpass you, become the county magistrate, and run ahead of you."
"He even became the county magistrate again."
"Of course, there are also county magistrates who are parachuted by the imperial court, such as the current magistrate Wang Yue. However, you are still a county magistrate. It can be said that you are an iron-clad magistrate and a flowing magistrate. Have the county magistrate ever considered why?"
Lin Feng looked at Cao Zheng with a calm expression.
It is even more elegant.
The pupils in Cao Zheng's eyes shrank, Lin Feng knew everything about him.
But it’s normal to think about it.
If Lin Feng wants to come to see him and ask for his help, he must understand his situation clearly. However, Lin Feng did not mention the matter at all, but instead mentioned Rang's official career. Cao Zheng knew that it was Lin Feng's words.
Cao Zheng was also curious about what Lin Feng could say, so he asked, "Why?"
Lin Feng said: "To be an official, you must not only have sufficient abilities, but also be humane and sophisticated. Being an official is about doing things, and it is not just about doing things, but also about being a good person."
"In my opinion, the position of county lieutenant is equivalent to that of the prime minister of the imperial court. The prime minister of the imperial court is responsible for the heaven and the heart, and is responsible for the security of hundreds of officials. Cao county captain stabilizes the people of Yongning County, and is responsible for the security of hundreds of officials. So, the superior body Where is Tianxin?”
"In Yongning County, to put it bluntly, the county magistrate is the emperor, feeling the life and death of countless people."
Cao Zheng was greatly shocked when he heard Lin Feng's words.
He even agreed with Lin Feng's metaphor.
In this three-acre land in Yongning County, the county magistrate Wang Yue is the Tu Emperor.
Cao Zheng, from the bottom of his heart, looked down upon Lin Feng's son-in-law's background. But Lin Feng was talking eloquently, and his words were good. Cao Zheng felt a little more expectant and sat upright invisibly.
Lin Feng noticed the change in Cao Zheng's posture and added: "Why hasn't Cao County Lieutenant been promoted? You are Cao County Lieutenant, not the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is not one of our own. So in the past, when county magistrates were promoted, confidants were promoted first. As for Cao Xianwei, Cao Xianwei was naturally put on hold."
Cao Zhengdao: "How to become the county magistrate's confidant?"
This is Cao Zheng's original confusion.
When Lin Feng clicked here, Cao Zheng brought it up.
Lin Feng explained: "In a nutshell, be happy and worry about the worries. Be happy for the county magistrate's happy events and worry about the county magistrate's difficulties. If the county magistrate is not happy, you must make him happy. The county magistrate has It’s difficult, you have to solve it for him.”
"This is the key to becoming the county magistrate's confidant."
"Don't think this is flattery. In the officialdom, this is basic interpersonal communication and basic behavior."
"If you want to be alone, that's okay, and no one will blame you, because everyone has his or her own temperament. However, you can't be alone anymore, and you want others to be good and think of you everywhere."
"It's good to take care of your own people naturally. What is your own people? Enjoy your own happiness and worry about your worries. This is your own people."
Lin Feng said: "Do you think the county captain is right?"
boom! !
When Cao Zheng heard this, he felt as if he heard Hong Zhongda Lu, and he suddenly became enlightened.
He is a man of officialdom, and his mind is not weak. It's just that he always believed that if he was loyal to his duties and worked hard, someone would definitely appreciate him.
Now, I understand.
His ability is good, but he must be someone who can become the county magistrate.
Lin Feng glanced at Cao Zheng, and seeing that Cao Zheng seemed to be touched, he continued: "Does the county captain know about Magistrate Wang's worries now? Magistrate Wang has been the magistrate of Yongning for three years. He himself was airborne from the imperial court. , but they are not dealing with the Li family in Yongning County."
"All this time, Magistrate Wang has not found an entry point, and has been in a stalemate with the Li family."
"If Cao County Lieutenant wants to share the county magistrate's worries, the Li family must solve the problem. If the Li family is uncomfortable, or he has taken advantage of the Li family, the county magistrate will naturally be happy. When the county magistrate is happy, Cao County Lieutenant will naturally feel different. .”
Cao Zheng secretly thought that Lin Feng was a good person.
After going around in a circle, we arrived at Li's house.
Cao Zheng knew that the Bai family's problem lay with the Li family. Lin Feng's implication was to ask Cao Zheng to deal with the Li family.
To deal with the Li family is to help the Bai family.
Cao Zheng said in a deep voice: "Lin Feng, your scheming is indeed powerful. In the final analysis, you want to help your Bai family and solve the threat of the Li family, right?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Your Excellency, County Lieutenant, the Bai family is insignificant. But County Lieutenant Cao's future is the most important. County Magistrate Wang came down by air. He cannot stay in Yongning County and will definitely be transferred."
"If Magistrate Wang fails to make political achievements and leaves on a regular basis, Captain Cao will still be a county magistrate. But if, because of your relationship, Magistrate Wang achieves political achievements. Or, if the Li family who is worried about them is solved, Wang County If Ling praises you, will you give me a hand?"
The pupils in Cao Zheng's eyes shrank and he said, "How do you know that County Magistrate Wang may be transferred?"
The matter of County Magistrate Wang Yue is a secret.
Only a few people know.
Cao Zheng didn't think Lin Feng could get information from someone with his background.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Isn't this very simple? Magistrate Wang is only thirty years old and has been the county magistrate for three years. At such an age, one must have a background to hold an important position. How can he stay here forever?"
After a pause, Lin Feng continued: "As long as the Li family's problems can be solved, I can't guarantee that County Lieutenant Cao can become the county magistrate. However, it should be no problem to go further."
Cao Zheng stared at Lin Feng with a burning gaze, and there was even more fear in his eyes.
Lin Feng is so awesome.
You can make a judgment based on clues.
Cao Zheng took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked: "Lin Feng, how to deal with the Li family?"
Lin Feng felt even more relieved.
Cao Zheng's words were already tempting, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked like this.
