Keep a line in life, and get along well with each other after seeing each other.
Chu Qing was not willing to completely offend Tao Shaozhang to death, and besides, he was still thinking about the "owner" of the Tao family.
The dignified fourth-grade young minister of Dali Temple was convinced. He could not continue to be unreasonable and unforgiving. He had to grasp the situation carefully and let the other party know that he was not someone to be rubbed casually.
Looking at Tao Shaozhang again, he was also greatly relieved.
He didn't like Chu Qing, and he even disliked more than 90% of the officials in the Chang Dynasty.
But this is the way the world is. If you want to change the environment, you must integrate into the environment.
If you don't like it, that's fine, and you can show it, but you must be bigger than other officials and more capable than others. If no one is big and capable, then endure it, even if you hate it. With.
Tao Shaozhang is upright, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. It's no big deal to sacrifice his own face for some greater ambitions.
There are many things, just afraid of the first time, just like this face, that is, face. If you bear the pain of losing it for the first time, you will become more and more skillful in the future.
Of course, there are also people. Some people are just trying to make things better after losing their first time, such as Tao Shaozhang, and some people are getting more and more happy after losing their first time, such as an official named Qiu.
Tao Shaozhang quickly poured a cup of tea for Chu Qing and showed a dog-legged smile that was not genuine at first glance but was very flattering.
The peacemaker Chen Yan said cheerfully: "To talk about this, Chu Shucheng got to know Mr. Tao earlier than me. We are people of the same way, but it is just a small misunderstanding. It will be good if the misunderstanding is resolved. No need to worry."
Chu Qing curled his lips and said nothing.
"That's right, that's right." Tao Shaozhang quickly agreed: "It's a small misunderstanding. Brother Yu, I apologize to you. Don't worry about it."
"It's not necessary." Chu Qing put down the tea cup and shook his head slightly: "Master Tao, I know you must be thinking in your heart that you are a senior official from the fourth rank of Beijing, and I, Chu Qing, am just a small official from the eighth rank. Cheng, if you show shame and apologize to me, you have given me enough face. If it had been any other adults, they would have yelled at me and scolded me for being ungrateful, right?"
"No, no way." Tao Shaozhang waved his hands repeatedly, but the inexplicable color in his eyes betrayed him after all.
Yes, Tao Shaozhang really thought so just now.
He is a fourth-grade servant, his father is a young master of the crown prince, and the other party is only an eighth-grade servant, and his father is a minister of the Ministry of Industry with no real power. There is no comparison at all. The other party is too ignorant of praise.
"You know whether you think so, and Mr. Chen also knows it."
Chu Qing laughed at himself and continued: "Besides, Mr. Tao knows it well. You came to find me, so shameless, shameless and shameless. You were slapped in the face just for the sake of accounts and checking the Li family. Right."
"That's right." Tao Shaozhang said sternly: "Li Mu of the Li family bullies and harms the people. I will seek justice for the people of Xiao County."
"Yes, you are selfless and in a high position, but have you ever thought about it? You kneel down and lick me, and you feel uncomfortable and wronged. You are doing it for justice and the people, but have you ever thought about me? Dad is not the prince's young master, I am not the young minister of Dali Temple, I am just a nobody. You can check, dare to check, because your background is strong enough. Even if you don't find out, even if the Li family hates you to the bone, they can only bite you. Gritting your teeth and swallowing this breath, because your background is strong enough, have you ever thought about it. If you come to me, I will help you investigate. What will happen to me and what will happen to my father after the Li family finds out? The family will be ruined. Killing the whole family is not an alarmist statement."
Tao Shaozhang was silent, and even Chen Yan's expression was a little gloomy.
Ethereal promises, they can't tell. This is what officialdom is like. When gods fight, let alone brats, everyone who eats melons is prone to disaster. There are too many such things.
Tao Shaozhang can say that he will protect Chu Qing as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and ensure that the Chu family is safe and sound.
But he had said this, and he had said it to others a while ago, but in the end, he failed to do it. Those who helped him had long since become barren graves and withered bones.
Chu Qing sighed: "You just lost some face in front of me, but as for me, I want to drag my family and follow you to gamble, gamble with my life, gamble with the lives of my whole family, if I can , I would rather be like you, moving your mouth and laughing with you, than risking the lives of my whole family."
Tao Shaozhang was silent for a long time, and finally stood up and saluted Chu Qing: "This is Shaozhang Menglang, apologizing to Mr. Chu. Yes, I wanted you to help me verify the accounts of Xiao County over the years and bring down the Li family, but I never thought about it." For you, this matter is like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. If you don't pay attention, you will be irreversible. Shao Zhang, I feel guilty."
Chen Yan sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He had never thought about what Chu Qing said.
This is the tragedy of little people. In officialdom struggles, it is often the little people who end up dead.
When the big guys were waving different flags and shouting different slogans, it was the little guys who were charging. Finally, when the flags were thrown, the big guys clapped their hands, said it was no fun and stopped playing, turned around and left, what should they do? What are you doing? There are bones behind you, the bones of little people.
Chu Qing accepted Tao Shaozhang's gift and said calmly: "Ask yourself, if you don't do this well, the result will be the destruction of your Tao family. Can you still do it without hesitation? If you don't do it well, you will always Dad, your sister, and your Tao family are all dead without a burial place. Will you still do it? Can you do it? If you can't do it, why do you ask others to do it? Others just scold you and get out. You just think it’s because others don’t know how to compliment you, do you think it’s appropriate, or is it a shame?”
Tao Shaozhang opened his mouth and finally sighed.
He wanted to say that he was not guilty, that he could sacrifice himself and the Tao family, but under Chu Qing's gaze, he could not say this after all, because even he did not believe it.
"That's fine." Tao Shaozhang sighed slightly and smiled bitterly at Chu Qing: "I don't blame you, it's just that I didn't think well. I understand what Mr. Chu means. Shaozhang will leave now."
Chen Yan looked like he was hesitating to speak, but Tao Shaozhang shook his head slightly, turned around and left.
"Wait!" Chu Qing said, smiling slightly: "When did I say I won't help you?"
Tao Shaozhang turned around, his face full of confusion: "But Mr. Chu just said that if you help me, you will have a huge responsibility."
"Yes, if I help you, there are many dangers. This matter is too risky. The reason why I tell you so much is actually the same thing." Chu Qing stood up suddenly and slapped the table: "More fucking money! "
Tao Shaozhang was dumbfounded, and Chen Yan was dumbfounded.
Chu Qing's face was filled with a ferocious smile: "Someone is messing with me and my father in the court. You, Tao Shaozhang, must stand up and fight whoever messes with us. You will fight to death. Tell others, you, Tao Shaozhang, protect my Chu family." , and also, your farmer in the northern suburbs of the Tao family has lent me money to repair the Taowu Palace. Yes, the most important thing is to increase the money. Find a way to get me 500 guan, at least 500 guan, no. Collect interest and be interest-free for five years. As long as these three points can be achieved, let alone Xiao County, it will be the tax affairs of Quanchang Dynasty and Quanzhong Prefecture. Whoever you want to investigate, who you want to do, who you want to mess with, name the place, I will do it. Let me help you find out!"
Tao Shaozhang murmured: "I..."
"Okay, just one sentence."
"Can…"
“It’s a big deal, it’s okay or not!”
"this…"
"Your uncle, is this okay or not?"
Chen Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly slapped his thigh and roared: "Okay!"
Chu Qing cursed loudly: "It's useless for you to say that you are from the sixth level."
Chen Yan rubbed his neck: "I have five hundred swords!"
Chu Qing snorted slightly, then came behind Chen Yan and pushed him down on the stool.
"Come on, Brother Chen, drink tea quickly, and I'll give you a shoulder squeeze to relieve your fatigue."
