Li Manor.
At this moment, Li Chengfan was sitting in the study. He looked at the silver notes on the table and clicked his tongue.
"Just a thousand taels?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult to even buy a county magistrate."
Li Chengfan took out his tobacco pipe and knocked it against the pot, carefully adding the tobacco into the pot.
A man sitting beside her quickly lit it up with a lighter.
Li Chengfan took a deep breath and exhaled. The study was filled with smoke.
The man seemed to be a little reserved. His butt was only on one side of the stool, and his hands were rubbing nervously.
"Brother."
"Do you think this will work?"
"I heard that the current emperor is still young, but his methods are very ruthless.”
The man's face was anxious and his expression was ugly.
"Why are you panicking?"
"Isn't it just selling a few officials?"
"Anyway, it's a recommendation, not an examination.”
"As long as it makes sense."
"Besides,"
"It's up to you whether you want it or not.”
"If he doesn't want it, someone else will!"
Li Chengfan held the banknote with his left hand and pushed it forward, right in front of the man.
"Keep it."
"Don't you just want to marry a woman?”
"This money is enough for you to withdraw a hundred!"
"If you are afraid, go back to your hometown.”
The man looked at the one thousand taels of silver on the table, swallowed his saliva, and licked his lips.
He steeled his heart and kept the banknote.
"Brother."
"I've thought it through."
"I'll follow you!"
Li Chengfan chuckled and took down the pipe and pot.
"That's right."
"Brother, remember, the money you earn is nothing compared to those rich kids!”
"We'll make a fortune in the imperial examinations in the second half of the year!”
"When the time comes, the two of us will have enough.”
"I'll immediately resign and bring you home. I'll let you marry more than ten concubines. You'll be so beautiful that you don't know where to go!”
After Li Chengfan finished speaking, the man seemed to have imagined the beauty.
He couldn't help but nod like a chick pecking at rice.
However, the man still felt uneasy.
"Brother."
"Are you sure you're fine?"
Li Chengfan slammed his pipe against the leg of his chair with a helpless expression.
"How many times have I told you?"
"The emperor is young.”
"But there are still many things to do in the aftermath."
"Although the cabinet is in charge of the assessment, their attention is on the eunuchs.”
"They can't take care of us at all."
"Don't worry!"
Li Chengfan smiled confidently as he squeezed the walnut in his hand.
She pointed at the two walnuts in her hand with the pipe and looked at the man in front of her.
"This is the East Chamber!"
"This is the cabinet!"
"Everything is under my control!"
Li Chengfan laughed out loud with a confident expression.
The man next to him smiled obsequiously and nodded his head uncontrollably. He held the banknote in his arms tightly.
……
However, all of this was recorded in the Impermanence Book by the spies of the East Chamber.
After the man left, the scouts from the East Chamber swarmed into a deserted alley.
He captured him and secretly escorted him back to the East Chamber.
"Reporting to the superintendent."
"The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Chengfan, did indeed use his position to benefit from favoritism.”
"His words and deeds have been recorded in the Impermanence Book.”
"Please take a look, Supervisor."
The scout handed the Impermanence Book to Cao Zhengchun, who slowly placed the teacup on the table and took it.
"Sure,"
"This Li Chengfan is really bold.”
"Is our family something he can control?”
Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly and looked at his spies.
"Is there any witness?"
"Reporting to the superintendent."
"Li Chengfan's younger brother has been captured.”
"He is the main person who sold the official position. He will replace Li Chengfan in gathering business outside.”
"He is now in the prison of the East Hall."
"You haven't even used torture, and you're already confessing."
Cao Zhengchun sneered and took the confession.
"He's not a tough nut to crack."
"Remember, this person has to live.”
"At least."
"Before meeting His Majesty."
"He has to live."
"Let's go down first."
"Yes."
Cao Zhengchun was expressionless. He picked up the Impermanence Book and the confession and walked towards Liu Jian's residence.
……
Liu Manor.
Cao Zhengchun was sitting in Liu Jian's study, looking around, enjoying himself.
Chief Assistant Liu Jian looked at the Impermanence Book and the confession. His mustache flew up in anger.
"Sure,"
"I didn't expect you, Li Chengfan, to have such courage.”
"How dare you say such words!"
Liu Jian was so angry that his pupils dilated several times. He blew at his beard and glared.
"Please don't get angry, Pavilion Elder."
"Now, we've already finished our business.”
"If there's nothing else."
"I'll be leaving first."
Cao Zhengchun had already finished his work and sold the favor. It was about time for him to leave.
Liu Jian hurried forward.
"This old man will remember Supervisor Cao's help this time.”
"I should have left you to have a meal at the residence before leaving.”
"But this old man is in a hurry to enter the palace to meet the Saint."
"Please forgive me for my lack of hospitality, Supervisor Cao.”
Liu Jian's words came from the bottom of his heart.
With his skills, whether he could find out or not was still a different matter.
Cao Zhengchun smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Grand Secretary Liu, you are too kind."
"I'll come to your residence to ask for a cup of tea some other day."
"I'll go back first."
The two of them bowed and Cao Zhengchun returned to the East Chamber.
Meanwhile, Liu Jian arrived outside Yangxin Palace Hall.
Before he reached the door, he fell to his knees with a thud!
"I am."
"Liu Jian."
"I'm here to apologize to Your Majesty!"
