in front of outsiders.
Arhat is a big gangster who dominates the streets!
But in front of Cao An, he was still the dark and honest scoundrel under the wall, silly and not very smart...
Even though the young man in front of him could fly out with one hand, he still didn't dare to act recklessly.
"This matter can't be solved with money, so you don't need to worry about it."
With that said, Cao An walked downstairs and asked, "How is Wang Hu doing lately? Is there any news about him?"
Arhat was stunned and said: "He hardly shows his face on the street now, and there are only three or five loyal rogues left. Now he is still hiding in Futian Court."
"Let's go and see..."
Cao An walked straight out and said with a smile: "I spent three thousand dollars, and I didn't even hear a damn sound! This is not a good thing, I will be regarded as stupid..."
…
Futianyuan is still the same.
But this time I came, it was obviously much cleaner inside, and many buildings were being repaired.
I don’t know where Wang Hu went or is he not here...
Cao An was not in a hurry. He stood in the yard with his shoulders crossed and looked at the busy workers.
Some children were making noises and laughing around.
Many widows and wounded soldiers were also helping. Everyone was working enthusiastically, joking from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious...
"Mr. Lang, I think that Chief Registrar Wang must be greedy for money!"
Arhat also looked at the people inside and frowned: "How can we use three thousand guan for this little project? Three thousand guan is enough to buy a new house..."
"That's not how money works."
Cao An shook his head and smiled: "I gave him three thousand, but his wages, expenses, chewing wraps, and materials all have to be factored in... By the way, there is also the hard work of the Futian Courtyard."
"Hard work fee?"
Arhat laughed angrily: "We spend money to do things for him, but he still has to work hard?"
"Do you know how many people are in charge of things in Futian Courtyard?"
Cao An stretched out two fingers: "Twenty people! There are so many more than these orphans. Everyone needs to eat..."
Futianyuan is a yamen without any benefits.
There are even many people inside, all doing things in the name of 'duty'...
This kind of person is here to get gold plating. When he has accumulated enough fame, he can use his connections to get a formal position, and from then on he will be the iron rice bowl of the imperial court.
"Ma, they are all just eating in groups!"
Arhat took a breath and looked shocked: "If you calculate it like this, at most only half of the three thousand strings can be used on the right path."
"That's a lot."
Cao An looked at the orphans playing around with a smile: "The Song Dynasty has nothing but a lot of officials. You take a bite, and I'll cut it into pieces... If you can keep a third of it, it means it was not in vain."
Arhat lifted a stool and placed it behind Cao An, then frowned and said, "Isn't this corruption? Are the husbands in the court just not in charge?"
"How can this be called corruption?"
Cao An sat down, crossed his legs and said: "It's true that this money was donated by someone, but as long as it is credited to the account, it will be the public funds of the yamen... People use this money to get salary and buy things, shouldn't they? Just By raising the price of everything just a little bit, wouldn't it be possible to 'save' so much material, labor... money?"
"...They are still ruthless in making money!"
Arhat felt as if a door had been opened in his heart, and murmured: "No wonder everyone thinks that being an official is good! No matter how hard he works to make money, he still can't compare to others."
Cao An tilted his head and glanced at him: "Otherwise, why do you think those people are officials? How can there be so many upright officials and straight ministers in the world... who can abide by their duties and do a little business on the basis of self-interest, and they are already quite worthy. It’s rare!”
outside the door.
Liu Ruyan stood in the aisle.
After listening to Cao An's words, her eyes brightened a little and there was a smile on her face.
"I thought that because of my nature, even if I became an official, I wouldn't have a big future, but what I said today..."
Liu Ruyan glanced at Wang Hu behind her and whispered: "If you can see the rules and regulations in officialdom so thoroughly, your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary!
Wang Hu also whispered: "Does Your Majesty think highly of him?"
"Perhaps we will have to deal with him more in the future..."
Liu Ruyan smiled, turned and left Futian Courtyard.
Wang Hu lowered his head and watched her leave. Then he straightened his expression and walked in with a smile: "Haha, I kept Cao Langjun waiting for so long! Sorry, sorry!"
"It doesn't matter, so-and-so has just arrived."
Cao An stood up with a smile, clasped his fists and said: "Last time I was in a hurry, I don't know how Brother Wang has been doing recently. If you have any difficulties, feel free to talk to Cao!"
"Haha, what kind of trouble can I have?"
Wang Hu smiled and invited Cao An into the house, saying: "Although I am temporarily sheltering in Futian Courtyard, I have nothing to worry about eating and drinking. But Cao Langjun... you still dare to come to the west of the city openly at this moment. You are really not afraid of being caught." Cut it?"
The Arhat killed the beard at noon, and there was a lot of commotion in the streets.
How could this matter be hidden from Wang Hu?
Cao An sat down magnanimously and looked at the room with a smile: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm an official now. They dare to fight with Arhat, but they don't dare to touch me."
"Haha, I forgot about this..."
Wang Hu laughed twice, bent down slightly, and saluted politely: "I have seen Cao Sijian!"
"Ha ha!"
Cao An held his arm and joked: "This admonishment can scare gangsters, but not heroes."
Wang Hu didn't hesitate, stood up straight and said with a smile, "I don't know why you came here today?"
"Someone wants to take over the west side of the city."
"For debt business?"
"That's right!"
"But why are you looking for someone? Our two families have had grudges before. I don't believe that Mr. Cao can be so generous and dare to use an enemy to help."
Wang Hu looked at him with a smile, his eyes flashing slightly.
"You are different from Liu Ao. He is just a naughty person who doesn't care about the bottom line! But you are different... Mr. Wang said that you have donated a lot of things to Futian Yuan over the years, and you have even adopted many orphans."
Cao An stood up slowly and stared at him: "Besides, I was kind to you back then!"
At first?
This man is so shameless!
Wang Hu smiled, shook his right hand and said: "But Wang, all this is thanks to you... If you hadn't instigated an internal fight between X and Qin Fang, and deliberately sent money to make X be jealous of the master, X would have Why is this so?"
You can't talk about this matter. If you talk about it too much, you will be an enemy.
Cao An smiled and said: "But you are still alive, but Qin Fang was driven out of Bianliang."
"So, I still want to thank Cao Langjun?"
Wang Hu was angry and funny, his eyes a little cold.
Cao Anran didn't care about his expression and said matter-of-factly, "If you receive a favor from someone, you must repay it to someone."
"Ke X's brother Niu Hao..."
"That's what he deserves!"
Cao An sneered: "Cao is not a good man, he is just a street person! Whoever dares to reach out, I will chop him into pieces!"
"Then why so?"
Wang Hu smiled again, pointed at himself and said, "There are only five or six brothers of this and that, hiding in this Futian Courtyard all day long, how can I help you?"
"Niu Hao is dead, Qin Fang is gone, and finally Liu Ao is dead! But you are still alive... This is your ability!"
