Cao Jin had never experienced such pain. He was like a maggot, rolling on the ground holding his legs.
When Jiang Yifeng witnessed all this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the honest Li Erniu, and thought to himself, this fool is really cruel.
After a while, after Cao Jin's howling subsided, he asked again: "Let me ask you again, what did you just say?"
This time, Cao Jin did not hesitate for even a second and said loudly: "I said Cao Rui, the magistrate of Qinghe County, is my cousin. If you dare to mess around, he will not let you go."
Jiang Yifeng looked at Zhao Bingfang, "Master nephew, did he just say that?"
Zhao Bingfang was reluctant to answer: "That's what he said."
Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng looked at Cao Jin with a reproachful look on his face, "Let me just say, you must have said something and lied to me. I hate people lying to me the most. It's not a bad idea to break your legs." .”
How could Cao Jin dare to say no, and kept nodding despite the severe pain.
Jiang Yifeng smiled and said: "Master nephew, come here and be a temporary reporter for me."
I'm not your nephew.
Zhao Bingfang protested loudly in his heart, but he still walked over and asked: "What is a reporter?"
Jiang Yifeng explained: "Reporters are people who record facts."
Zhao Bingfang asked: "What should I record?"
Jiang Yifeng pointed at Cao Jin, "Record my conversation with him."
"Um!"
Zhao Bingfang responded and took out the paper and pen he had with him.
Of course, the purpose of bringing paper and pen was to record the wise words of his mentor that might appear from time to time, but he didn't expect that they could be used for other purposes now.
Jiang Yifeng waited for Zhao Bingfang to be ready, looked at Cao Jin with a smile, and asked: "Name?"
"Cao Jin!"
"Where are you?"
"Dazhou Kingdom, Jiujiang County, Qinghe County, Linshui Village."
"age?"
"Forty-two."
"You fucking look like sixty, you're growing up too fast!"
Jiang Yifeng looked at Cao Jin, who had dark skin and wrinkles on his face, and couldn't help but complain.
Then, he thought of something, turned to look at what Zhao Bingfang had recorded, and reminded: "You don't need to remember the curse words I said."
Zhao Bingfang asked in confusion: "Didn't you ask me to record the facts?"
"It records the facts, but it doesn't ask you to remember everything."
"oh!"
Zhao Bingfang crossed out the curse word.
Jiang Yifeng looked at Cao Jin and asked, "You just said that the magistrate of Qinghe County is your cousin. Is this true or false?"
"this……"
Cao Jin glanced at Zhao Bingfang and didn't dare to say anything.
Some things can be said, but not written down.
"Er Niu, break his other leg as well. I'm the most annoying person who complains." Jiang Yifeng said impatiently towards Li Er Niu.
Didn’t you say that you are most annoyed by others lying to you?
Why have you become the most annoying person again?
Zhao Bingfang complained in his mind and was considering whether to record this sentence.
"yes!"
At this time, Li Erniu stepped forward with a stick.
"I said, I'll say anything, don't break my legs."
Cao Jin had long been afraid of Jiang Yifeng due to his previous experience, and would say anything as long as he was slightly threatened.
Jiang Yifeng stopped Li Erniu, looked at Cao Jin and asked, "I only have two requests. You can't lie to me, and you can't be nagging. Can you do it?"
"able!"
"Okay, I believe you, but if you lie to me again or keep nagging me, I will break both of your remaining legs."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Although Cao Jin didn't know why he still had two legs after one was broken, he didn't dare to ask and could only keep nodding.
"Ahem!"
Jiang Yifeng cleared his throat and asked again: "You just said that Cao Rui, the magistrate of Qinghe County, is your cousin. Is this true or false?"
Cao Jin nodded vigorously, "It's true."
"Do you have any interest in it?"
"this……"
"Two cows!"
"I said!"
Cao Jin was so frightened that he trembled and said quickly: "I...we have some interests in each other."
Jiang Yifeng said: "I don't believe it."
Cao Jin was about to cry, "Sir, I'm just a village chief. I only gave him a few chickens and some scraps of silver, and asked him to help me put in a few good words in front of the squire so that he could elect me as the village chief." .”
"That's it!"
Jiang Yifeng thought for a while, looked at Zhao Bingfang and said, "Just write that Linshui Village Chief Cao Jin sent a lot of benefits to Qinghe County Magistrate Cao Rui in order to be elected as the village chief."
"..."
Zhao Bingfang stopped immediately, hesitated for a long time and said: "I just sent a few chickens and some broken silver. It shouldn't be considered a large amount of benefits!"
Jiang Yifeng was extremely sad, "Nephew, your family is rich, so naturally you don't care about a few chickens and scraps of silver, but you have to understand that for ordinary people, not to mention a few chickens, even an egg is quite precious. of."
After speaking, Jiang Yifeng looked at Li Erniu and asked, "Erniu, are you willing to give away your chickens?"
"I don't want to."
Li Er's head shook like a rattle.
Jiang Yifeng looked at the others again, "What about you?"
"My benefactor, we don't have chickens at all."
"Look, so many families don't even have chickens. Do you still think that a few chickens are not delivering a lot of benefits?"
"..."
Zhao Bingfang was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and then wrote down what Jiang Yifeng said.
In fact, in addition to these words, he also wanted to write one more sentence, that is, Jiang Yifeng bribed the county governor 600,000 taels of silver.
Compared with 600,000 taels of silver, a few chickens are nothing.
Of course, in order not to make my mentor angry, these words were not written out.
After Zhao Bingfang finished writing, Jiang Yifeng continued to ask: "When your cousin returned to the village, did he eat at other people's homes? Did he receive anything from other people's homes?"
"I've eaten it, and I've taken it, but that's all..."
"I just asked you to speak, not explain."
Jiang Yifeng glared at Cao Jin and said to Zhao Bingfang: "Just write that the county magistrate Cao Rui, as a parent official, not only did not think about the people, but instead plundered the people's fat and anointed them, causing the people to live in dire straits and complain."
Zhao Bingfang frowned, "Cao Rui went out from Linshui Village. When returning to the village, isn't it normal to eat at the homes of fellow villagers and get some local specialties?"
Jiang Yifeng said: "You think it's normal because you have low ideological awareness and don't take advantage of the masses. This is what a qualified parent official should achieve."
Zhao Bingfang: "..."
Although he feels that he is not a good person and often tries to gain fame, but compared with Jiang Yifeng, he feels that he is a completely good person.
The most important thing is that he has the bottom line of being a scholar, unlike Jiang Yifeng, who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bingfang was stunned, because he suddenly discovered that Jiang Yifeng looked too much like his biological father.
However, his own father did not have as many ways to harm others as Jiang Yifeng did.
Jiang Yifeng asked: "Do you remember?"
"Don't remember!"
Zhao Bingfang hesitated and shook his head firmly.
"Tang Shubai!"
Jiang Yifeng shouted loudly.
"Boss, I'm here."
Tang Shubai ran out from the crowd.
Jiang Yifeng snatched what Zhao Bingfang had recorded and threw it to Tang Shubai, "You will write it down next. When the time comes, you will jointly sign it, which will be more convincing."
