To be honest, Shen Hao has been in this world for so many years, and it is not that he has never seen honest officials, but they are a minority after all, and many of them are just in name only, and they make more money than ordinary people behind their backs. The most typical one is the Xuanqing Guard system, which is not ordinary black. That's why the Black Flag Camp carried out a major purge within the Xuanqing Guard not long ago in order to correct the atmosphere.
Of course, Xuanqingwei's internal purge has not yet begun to be externalized. When doing things outside, you have to follow some old and rotten rules, and Shen Hao doesn't mind letting him maintain the status quo. When the time comes, Black Flag Camp will have work again.
So this time when Shen Hao came to Youxiang's Yamen, he also followed the "rules" and missed out some of the criminal property handed over to the Ministry of Justice. He exchanged it for gold tickets and handed them to Cao Guobang. This is called "Shangdao". This is usually how things work under the fig leaf of officialdom.
But I never expected that Cao Guobang would directly refuse.
What does this mean?
However, Shen Hao did not put all the doubts in his heart on his face. His expression of surprise only flashed across his face. He smiled and took the box containing the golden tickets, then chatted a few more innocuous words before getting up and leaving. Right side of the Yamen.
What does Cao Guobang mean?
Shen Hao couldn't think clearly for a while, but what was certain was that Cao Guobang currently had no means or capabilities that could restrain the Black Flag Camp, and the threat was actually not great. So Cao Guobang simply doesn't want to have anything to do with Black Flag Camp? Or are you really getting older and want to have a clean ending?
He shook his head, temporarily putting aside these doubts in his mind, and patted the carriage car, indicating to the coachman that he could leave.
The next stop is Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen.
Shen Hao had previously understood a very important character in an official career, that is: never forget your roots.
This was actually a very practical and important point in another world before.
Just imagine, your superiors have promoted you to the top. If you have done well, you will turn around and not take your previous superiors seriously? Even as a passerby? From the original respectful attitude to being arrogant? Is this appropriate?
It’s not even a question of whether it’s suitable or not, it’s a matter of being shamed and being wary of.
It is almost impossible to think about being promoted by someone. Because no one wants to mention a white-eyed wolf to make themselves angry. Right?
Shen Hao knew how powerful it was, so he always paid great attention to this aspect.
In the beginning, his top priority was Chen Tianwen, and now Chen Tianwen has become a householder in Licheng. Then Tang Qingyuan came to the top, and now Tang Qingyuan has real power in Qianhu.
Therefore, although Shen Hao has a bad reputation and is called evil star, when it comes to Shen Hao's "love and righteousness", no one can say a bad word. Because the facts are before us, Shen Shaxing is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.
And along the way, the person who has helped Shen Hao the most so far is undoubtedly Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi Town. That is, the "teacher" whom Shen Hao had shamelessly recognized a long time ago.
Speaking of Jiang Cheng, Shen Hao is no longer completely utilitarian. He sincerely treats the other party as a teacher. And this is not that Shen Hao is "sentimental" but that Jiang Cheng has indeed given him almost the greatest help and trust in each incident, and even tried his best to protect and protect him many times.
People's hearts are made of flesh. Although Shen Hao is nicknamed "Evil Star", he is not a stone-hearted person. Naturally, if people respect me, I will return the same. Jiang Cheng treated him sincerely, and he also treated the teacher sincerely.
It was too busy before. Therefore, after being promoted to the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, he rarely visited Jiang Cheng. But I have not forgotten my teacher in my heart.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the imperial city, he personally brought people to visit him and delivered him the 10% of the wealth he had previously divided.
The things have already left the teleportation circle, just outside the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Town. After Shen Hao arrived, he nodded to make sure that the handover could begin. Of course, Jiang Cheng from the Jingxi Town Fu Envoy Yamen would have to nod.
As soon as Shen Hao's carriage arrived, the guards at the gate of the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen subconsciously straightened their backs. It warmed my heart to see the powerful Master Shen still parked ten feet away from the car like before, getting off the car and walking over.
Master Shen really values friendship as much as the rumors say. You must know that Master Shen is at the same level as Master Jiang now, so there is no need to be so low-profile.
But Master Shen did just that, and everything seemed to be the same as before, unchanged.
When Shen Hao entered the Yamen, no one dared to ask him to wait in the waiter. The guards immediately ran to report Jiang Cheng, and at the same time, someone led Shen Hao directly inside.
The public house is still the same, and Jiang Cheng is the same as before.
Shen Hao smiled and bowed, then naturally refilled Jiang Cheng's tea cup and made another cup for himself. After sitting down, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
"Why do you have time to come to my place? Are you already busy with such a big thing?" Jiang Cheng never thought that Shen Hao would stop recognizing people after being promoted. After such a long period of contact, he knew Shen Hao's personality very well. As a person. I'm just curious that the recent turmoil in Black Flag Camp has been so big, and things must be complicated and complicated. How can Shen Hao still have time to come and have tea with him?
Shen Hao needs to show off in front of Cao Guobang, but he has long been accustomed to being "casual" in front of Jiang Cheng. This is also a habit infected by Jiang Cheng's temperament, and also stems from Jiang Cheng's personal charm and his early years in the military. experience.
"Teacher, I'm here to give you a gift." Shen Hao smiled and took out a list from his storage bag. It was similar to the one he gave to Cao Guobang before, except that the amount on it was twice as large.
"Giving gifts? What tricks are you playing?" Jiang Cheng took the list with a smile, and then looked down, with a trace of surprise on his face.
Then he raised his head and asked Shen Hao in surprise: "How much did your Black Flag Battalion get this time? Did you allocate so much to the Zhenfu Envoy Yamen? What about other places? Have you distributed it?"
Shen Hao nodded quickly, and Jiang Cheng's first sentence was to ask the boss of Black Flag Ying if he had so much money to spend and could he use it to go out to other yamen. He was now helping Black Flag Ying make plans, instead of worrying about how much money he had to share. There is no doubt whether Shen Hao will be put into the suit.
After all, he is one of his own, and this trust and care are enough to make Shen Hao feel precious.
"Teacher, they are all given away. Your Majesty and the commanding officer each have 30%. The Black Flag Battalion keeps 30% for itself, and you have 10%. There is also some cash, and some are shared with the Ministry of Punishments."
"Ministry of Punishment? Do you want to silence Cao Guobang?" Jiang Cheng reacted very quickly. He guessed Shen Hao's intention just after Shen Hao finished speaking.
"Yes, teacher. Unfortunately, only the Ministry of Punishment took it back. Cao Guobang returned it to me."
