Officialdom is all about spectacle and worldliness.
As long as the situation is good enough and the people can understand each other, then everything is possible and everything will be smooth in the world.
But if you don't know how to praise yourself, think highly of yourself, and are arrogant, then even if you have extraordinary abilities, it will make it difficult for you to move forward.
Gao Kan understood the truth. Liang Shijie held the title of "Secretary of the Central Committee", was the prefect of Daming Prefecture, and was Cai Jing's son-in-law. No matter which status he had, he was far higher than the title of "Gao Yanei".
He personally extended the olive branch, how could Gao Kan not accept it?
Liang Shijie was also satisfied with his reaction and said with a smile: "It's good to ask Sir Taiwei to worry about you. Back in Bianliang, I mostly relied on Mr. Taiwei to take care of me and never had the chance to repay my favor."
"If Mr. Gao comes to Daming Mansion this time, if you have any needs, you can tell him directly. I will definitely mediate."
"Thank you, Lord Zhongshu, for the promotion." Gao Kan continued.
This is the benefit of promotion. With just one or two words, flattering and showing a humble attitude, you can get the approval of the top leader, and things will go smoothly. Why not?
Liang Shijie smiled and said, "That's how it should be."
After speaking, he looked at Shi Wenxin: "Wenxin, you and Mr. Gao already know each other. In the future, you will personally handle Mr. Gao's affairs. You must handle them as well as possible."
"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely encourage you to help Mr. Gao." Shi Wen said heartily.
"Well, very good. I still have some official matters to deal with, so I won't keep you here. Mr. Gao, when you return to Bianliang, remember to say hello to the Taiwei for me." Liang Shijie nodded.
Hearing this, Gao Kan hurriedly responded: "I will definitely bring him."
Liang Shijie waved his hand, indicating that the two of them could retreat.
However, Gao Kan stood there, with thoughts flowing in his mind, and suddenly spoke again: "Master Zhongshu, I have something to report to you."
"Oh?" Liang Shijie looked surprised.
He asked Shi Wenxin to call Gao Kan over. It was just a meeting, a formality, and a relationship.
Everything above was considered appropriate, and Gao Kan seemed to be a sensible person, but something else suddenly made him a little confused.
But when he saw Gao Kan's expression moving slightly, he understood it and said to Shi Wenxin: "Wen Xin, there are some official documents from the shipping company in the house. You can go get them and take them back with you. I will talk to Mr. Gao for a while. "
"I understand the humble position." Shi Wenxin replied immediately and quickly stepped back.
After he left, Liang Shijie asked Gao Kan again.
"What does my nephew have to say?"
Without anyone else present, Liang Shijie's name for Gao Kan changed.
Gao Kan understood the idea and said quickly: "Tell my uncle to worry about it. My nephew has been observing the city for the past two days. Four gates are closed and the city is strictly prohibited. I heard that it is related to the Liangshan thieves who robbed prisoners in Jiangzhou Prefecture and made a big fuss in the Wuwei Army?"
"It is indeed true. Why, my nephew is worried that the return trip will not be smooth and he might encounter a thief?" Liang Shijie asked.
"It's like this. My uncle didn't know something. My nephew had two messengers who were rough and rough. Seeing that they had some skills and good intentions, my nephew summoned them to work under his command and gave them food to eat."
Gao Kan immediately said eloquently: "Thanks to them for coming to Daming Mansion this time, otherwise I would have been robbed by the bandits on Huangmen Mountain halfway through Huangmen Mountain."
"Oh? My nephew has such good people?" Liang Shijie was surprised.
The birthday card given to Taifu Tong by the Shandong governor was secretly robbed by thieves. This was probably done by Huangmenshan bandits, and Liang Shijie already knew about it.
If the Liangshan bandits hadn't appeared in Daming Mansion, he should have dealt with the matter first.
That birthday trip cost a lot of money to recruit envoys from Shandong, so they were afraid that the escort would be missed along the way, so they specially dispatched a team of Xiang troops to escort them.
In the end, with so many troops, the Huangmen Mountain bandits were able to get their hands on them, which shows that the Huangmen Mountain bandits are powerful.
It turned out that Liang Shijie was still in a dilemma: who could deal with such a powerful bandit?
Unexpectedly, after hearing Gao Kan's words at this moment, they actually bumped into the thieves halfway, and it sounds like they had made some gains.
He didn't know much about the bandits in Liangshan yet. Although the four gates were closed and the city was under strict security, except for Shi Wenxin who defeated a group of bandits from the He Gang, there was nothing else in the past few days.
Listen to the detective report, the bandits in Liangshan knew that their whereabouts were exposed, and they dared to raise the banner.
All the thieves and reckless men from Hebei Province are coming here, as well as those from Shandong Province. In a short time, a large number of people will gather, even threatening Daming Mansion, which will also make him miserable.
Both things are difficult to deal with, especially those bandits in Liangshan. They give Liang Shijie a very bad feeling, and he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss.
If before the incident, one person could be called upon to neutralize the bandits in Huangmen Mountain and save face by betraying the Shandong Advocate and Tong Taifu, then even if he did nothing or even made a mistake in the matter of the Liangshan bandits, there would be more than one person to take his place. Speak yourself in court.
So at that moment, Liang Shijie started to think about it.
Gao Kan observed his words and saw Liang Shijie's thoughts. Although he didn't know what his thoughts were specifically, his goal had been achieved.
Then he replied: "When I ask my uncle to promote me, they are all reckless men who cannot stand up to the stage. They just have stick martial arts."
"Such a talent is rare!" Liang Zhongshu praised.
These words are his true words. Although he is the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, he has a good way of amassing money and exploiting people. Unfortunately, he lacks good soldiers who are good at fighting. He himself is also a person who cherishes talents very much.
Gao Kan understood what he was saying and said: "If my uncle has an assignment, my nephew and his subordinates should serve."
"Good nephew!"
Liang Shijie didn't expect Gao Kan to have such a powerful understanding. He could understand his heart and couldn't help but praise.
"I really have a difficult matter here. I've been suffering for a long time without a clue. After listening to my nephew's words, it seems like the clouds are clearing and the sky is clear!"
"It's an honor for my nephew to be able to share my uncle's worries." Gao Kan said down the slope.
"It turns out that my nephew has some concerns about this matter. It has something to do with the bandits in Huangmen Mountain. A few days ago, the Shandong Advocate sent a team of people to escort the birth certificate of Taifu Tong in Tokyo, passing through the boundary of Huangmen Mountain. The result disappeared without a trace.”
Liang Shijie then told people about Tong Guan's birth date and how he was robbed in Huangmen Mountain.
Finally he said: "This incident made Taifu Tong furious, and he ordered the Huangmen Mountain bandits to be killed. The Shandong Advocate was also very concerned about it, and wrote to me many times. However, the Daming Mansion was also busy with many things, and it was hard to spare his time. Come on, I’ve been delaying for several days. Since my nephew has fought against those bandits, he may be able to wipe them out. If it succeeds and it’s a great achievement, I will personally write a letter to ask for the title on my behalf!”
"That's it. Don't worry, uncle. My nephew is bound to do this."
Gao Kan didn't expect that the task Liang Shijie wanted to ask him to do was to exterminate the bandits in Huangmen Mountain. Wasn't this why someone gave him a pillow when he fell asleep?
I just don't know how Liang Shijie would react if he knew that Tong Guan's birth date was robbed by him.
Will he be so angry on the spot that a mouthful of old blood spurts out?
