Chapter 101 Seeking an official position
After Liang Pingan returned home, he felt hungry and tired.
After having a hearty meal and resting on the bed for a long time, he immediately called Shang Shichen and asked him to hitch the carriage. He also called Liu Yong and went to the county town together.
Naturally, he came to the county town this time to seek a position for Liu Yong as a seventh-grade military attache in the inspection department of Ning'an Town.
Although it was not easy to get a seventh-grade military attache, Liang Ping'an was rich, but he didn't believe that the stupid officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty could refuse this?
When Liang Ping'an, Liu Yong was sitting in the carriage, and Shang Shichen was driving, heading towards the county seat again, they were in Prince Lu's Mansion in Weihui Mansion City.
Liu Xi's luxurious room in Prince Lu's Mansion.
Liu Xi was sitting on the Grand Master's chair at this time, and he was reading a secret letter.
After reading one piece of paper, I quickly removed the first one and looked at the second one.
After he had finished reading these two pieces of paper, he suddenly became furious, kicked the table in front of him over, and cursed:
"Damn assassin, ruin our family's good deeds, ruin our family's good deeds!!"
That's right, Liu Xi has just received the report from the provincial capital Kaifeng.
——It was not too late when he got the report. After all, the provincial capital was in a mess, and the provincial capital did not know that Liang Pingan had left the provincial capital so early and returned to Wei Hui;
So there was a day's delay there, until they found out that Liang Ping'an had gone north, those people quickly sent the secret message to Liu Xi of Prince Lu's palace.
——
After Liu Xida lost his temper, he immediately said: "Go and invite Mr. Chen!"
Then a young eunuch waiting next to him hurriedly responded:
"Yes, godfather!"
So the young eunuch hurriedly went to invite Mr. Chen.
After a while, a middle-aged scribe came in. As soon as he came in, he saw that the table was kicked over, the tea cup on it was smashed, and the tea was spilled on the floor.
So he immediately guessed what was going on and hurriedly said: "Proprietor, what news is coming from Kaifeng?"
Liu Xi immediately handed the information in his hand to the middle-aged scribe, his secret servant.
So Mr. Chen immediately took the two pieces of paper, read them quickly, and then said:
"Proprietor, since it is no longer possible to outsmart him, now there is only one way out!"
"What?" Liu Xi asked hurriedly.
Mr. Chen immediately made a knife-like gesture and then pointed downwards.
The meaning is obvious, that is to kill Liang Ping'an.
"No, no, he has already been promoted to civil servants. If you kill him, you will be in big trouble!" Liu Xi shook his head hurriedly.
"Proprietor," Mr. Chen immediately said with a gloomy face, "I mean, send an assassin..."
When Liu Xi heard these three words, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Yes, yes, yes," then stood up, walked around the room for a while, and then said: "This is a good idea, send dead soldiers!"
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
But he said that Liang Ping'an came to Xinxiang County.
I met the magistrate Huang Mingde at the Xinxiang County Yamen.
Huang Mingde already knew that Liang Pingan passed the exam.
The two of them were in the back office hall, after the guest and host took their seats.
Huang Mingde said: "I really didn't expect that my nephew could pass all the way and pass the examination of Jieyuan in Zhongzhou. But Zi Heng, you also have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. There is only one step left. After the examination, that will be a meritorious deed."
Complete!"
Liang Ping'an immediately agreed with Huang Zhixian.
But when the conversation changed, Huang Zhixian said again: "It's just that I heard that Ziheng defected to the eunuch party?"
"Teacher, this is a unique matter. This is all caused by Liu Xi, the eunuch in charge of Prince Lu's Mansion. He framed me...!"
Liang Ping'an immediately denied it, and then met Liu Xi on his way back to Xinxiang from Beijing. How did Liu Xi behave, and how did he end up with the name of the eunuch...
Liang Pingan told Huang Mingde a series of things.
After all, there was nothing to hide from Huang Mingde. Huang Mingde already knew that he and Liu Xi, the eunuch chief eunuch of Prince Lu's Mansion, had conflicts and could not deal with them.
But even though Liang Pingan said this, Liang Pingan still felt that Huang Zhixian no longer had the enthusiasm for him in the past, but became indifferent.
Liang Ping'an thought bitterly in his heart: Now it's yellow mud that fell off his crotch - it's not just shit, it's shit!
But now Liang Ping'an hastily arranged for Liu Yong to be appointed as the Ning'an Town Inspection Department for inspection, and the other matters are less important.
Ting Liang Ping An wanted to go to Ning'an Town for inspection.
In the past, Huang Zhixian would probably have put himself in Liang Pingan's shoes and analyzed for Liang Pingan how much money it would cost to run a regular seventh-level inspection, and which places should be inspected.
But at this time, Huang Mingde believed that Liang Ping'an's future was bleak. Since he was framed as an eunuch, first of all, the eunuch would definitely not recognize him, and secondly, those officials in Qingliu would naturally not put Liang Ping'an in Qingliu.
Therefore, Liang Ping'an's future as an official was basically gone.
Therefore, Magistrate Huang did not want to have anything to do with Liang Ping'an.
As for agreeing to help Liang Pingan run an inspection, it was just that there was some teacher-student friendship in the past, but this time I helped Liang Pingan run the inspection, the friendship was gone, and we were strangers from now on.
Of course, Huang Mingde couldn't lose money by helping Liang Ping'an run this operation, could he?
So Huang Mingde opened his mouth and stretched out five fingers.
Liang Ping'an took a look, nodded immediately, and said: "For five thousand taels..."
What Liang Pingan originally wanted to say was five thousand taels, but he agreed.
But before he finished speaking, Huang Mingde shook his head and stretched out the five fingers again.
When Liang Ping'an saw this, he immediately understood that this was fifty thousand taels!!
Damn, this is robbing a regular customer!
Liang Ping'an was very angry, but there was nothing he could do at this time.
Liang Pingan knew that their honeymoon was over, and Huang Mingde was blackmailing him!
However, Liang Ping'an had to admit this blackmail at this time!
Because Liang Pingan could not find a second official for the time being to help him run an inspector.
Liang Ping'an suppressed the anger in his heart and immediately made a wry smile on his face, as if he wanted to test the reality of the fifty thousand taels, "This fifty thousand taels is too much, and I am a little tight on money..."
But at this time, Huang Zhixian's face became very ugly. He took the tea cup, took a sip and put it down.
This action is actually quite impolite. After all, the two parties are still discussing things, and the matter has not yet been concluded, so they serve tea. Serving tea means seeing off guests.
Here, tea is served before the conversation is finished. This shows that the other party is extremely impatient and impatient.
It means that Liang Ping'an should say it quickly if he has something to say, otherwise if it's too expensive, there's no need to say it anymore.
Liang Pingan also understood the meaning immediately, and he immediately said flatteringly:
Chapter completed!
