Chapter 58: Wine meets a confidant, a thousand cups 3

Judging a person by the word "intuition" alone is naturally like a child's play, but Cao Muwen still feels the same way. Although he feels shameless in his judgment, he has at least many years of relevant "work" experience. He said that this kind of self-deceiving "intuition" still has some confidence in himself, although this self-confidence is groundless.

"Brother Cao, since you have always had this question, I will just tell you." Gong Chen said. Cao Muwen and he are slowly following the flow of people, keeping a certain distance slowly, not afraid that others will hear it. Cao Muwen's curiosity was suddenly mentioned. Since he took the initiative to say it, it was naturally good. "In this case, listen carefully." At this time, Cao Muwen's curiosity killed the cat. But his face still does not change, pretending to be calm.

"When Brother Cao first saw me, he was preconceived about me. I don't know if it's because of my relationship with thousands of households in Pingzhangyuan? Gong Chen asked.

Cao Muwen was surprised when he heard it. On second thought, he did have some preconceived ideas about his relationship with Yuan Pingzhang. Cao Muwen felt a little arrogant. But... Cao Muwen thought again that since he came to Nanchang, he had never heard anything about Gong Chen in Jinyiwei. If he were also a colleague of Jinyiwei, these people would have more or less mentioned it.

"Is it possible..." Cao Muwen suddenly thought that there may be such a possibility that Gong Chen, like himself, is also a "lurking" business, so only a few people will know that this kind of thing will not be revealed from those Jinyiwei colleagues in daily gossip. Cao Muwen thought to himself.

"Actual fact." Gong Chen explained that as he spoke, he gently glanced at the left and right sides. Although the flow of people is crowded now, it is in front of him. Cao Muwen and Gong Chen walked slowly on the road next to them. The street, which seemed particularly noisy because of the laughter in front, could not detect the conversation between the two people behind.

"In fact, I am also a brocade guard, and I have known thousands of households in the hospital for many years. I met him when I was young. He and his father... have also been regarded as world friends. It's also because of him that we can become a brocade guard, so the two of us have become friends for the past. Gong Chen said indifferently.

Cao Muwen stared into his eyes, hoping to see a flaw in his eyes. Gong Chen's eyes avoided a little after facing him. After that, he looked at him and continued, "Hmm... What do you say? I went to the official office before, and the lord of Qianhu told me one thing, saying that I can't be so lazy anymore..." After saying that, he smiled gently.

"So, Yuan Pingzhang also gave you a job?" Cao Muwen asked.

"Hmm." Gong Chen agreed, took a few steps forward and said, "Others can't tell you about this new job, but you can tell it." Gong Chen looked at Cao Muwen's slightly doubtful face and said, "I just said that you will know the day after tomorrow, but it's fate today, so I'll tell you." Gong Chen's tone was very relaxed.

"What a surprise? Brother Gong said so, and I'm getting more and more interested." Cao Muwen laughed and said easily, "I listen carefully."

"Brother Cao, you are a servant under Lord Shouren, the governor of Nangan, aren't you?" Gong Chen asked.

Cao Muwen was only slightly surprised and calmed down in an instant. Gong Chen knew that it seemed to be okay. Naturally, this was told by Yuan Pingzhang. Yes, that's right. Why did you mention it?" As soon as he said the words, Cao Muwen understood three points in his heart. Is it possible...

"There was a bookstore in Wang Shouren's place before, and he has resigned when he is old... isn't it?"

Cao Muwen understood this box. It seems that the new book office that replaced the old man of the book office before was Gong Chen.

Although the matter is clear, there is another thing. Since Cao Muwen, a brocade guard, has stayed beside Wang Shouren, why do you need to add another one? Is it possible that the brocade guards in Jiangxi are already overcrowded, and there are many people and few things to do, so they have to stuff people into this? No! Cao Muwen instantly denied this absurd idea. Since Gong Chen also serves as a "lurking" errand, his official rank should not be too low. Maybe he is also a hundred households?

Cao Muwen thought for a while and first revealed what both sides had made clear. "It seems that Brother Gong is going to be with me."

"Hehe, that's right. On the contrary, my new little book office can meet the appetite of the governor. Gong Chen smiled and said, "Brother Cao, you have been in the governor's house for several months. If you first come here, if there is anything inappropriate, please understand and support more. After all, we are all 'two' masters together.

"Haha, it's really a co-or-one." Cao Muwen was also happy to hear it. This metaphor is appropriate. However... Cao Muwen still has a problem in his heart at this time. Despite this, he did not dare to export.

At this time, Gong Chen found that Cao Muwen's face seemed to be difficult. First, he asked, "Brother Cao, I think you still seem to have something wrong. Since I have planned to tell you everything, I naturally know everything. If you still have any questions, you can ask me. Don't worry about it.

Since people have said this, Cao Muwen will not keep it. Originally, Cao Muwen "monitored" Wang Shouren for several months and did not find anything inappropriate about him. Speaking of these brocade guards, in fact, they know what is "inappropriate". Although the law of the Ming Dynasty clearly shows that officials will have to peel off their skin with ten taels of silver, who is serious now? If they want to do it strictly, Yu Fu, the governor of Jiangxi, will lose his life now. When I went to his mansion and just saw the decoration of the main hall, it was difficult to judge that this was a mansion that the governor could only have with his daily salary. Nowadays, no one in the world is greedy, just don't overdo it. This is also an unspoken rule. Even the emperor has acquiesced. Who doesn't approve it?

If the task of Jinyiwei is still to monitor whether those officials' daily lives are corrupt and whether they accept bribes, it is too "small use". In fact, the real task of these brocade guards is not to count the officials who stayed in the room every night and made a few taels of silver today, nor did he seize the women there; nor did he get a few wives in a few rooms, but whether they inadvertently revealed those uncompromising hearts - this is the most important thing. This is what these real masters (emperor) think are important) - as long as these officials are honest and loyal to the king, even if there are some thieves, the emperor is open-up. Which cat is not fishy, and that official is not a thief? If a cat doesn't steal fish, it's not a cat, and an official is not an official. As long as they are not too presumptuous, they will play.

But Wang Shouren, Cao Muwen really thinks he is a different person. He is not greedy, and there is no inappropriate "speech". Cao Muwen has been following Wang Shouren for several months. Wang Shouren mostly handles official duties every day. If he has free time, he has to read it, think about it, and improve his "learning" in his heart. Naturally, he can't know what people are thinking. In addition, Wang Shouren sometimes went out, wandered on the street, or went to farmland and inns outside the city. Go and talk with the people who are familiar with him. Sometimes Cao Muwen will go with him, and sometimes Wang Shouren will go alone. Cao Muwen naturally refused, and Wang Shouren did not. However, Cao Muwen could not disobey the chief officer's order, so he had to watch the governor wear casual clothes or ride a horse, or walk slowly out of the gate of the mansion. Naturally, Cao Muwen will not follow him, but that doesn't mean he won't go. Wang Shouren may also not want to bother his subordinates. Although the adults are kind-hearted, their subordinates can't kick their noses.

Cao Muwen is still very dedicated, whether from the perspective of governors and attendants, and from the perspective of Jinyiwei Baihu. Since he is a servant, he naturally has to guard the chief officer and sacrifice his body to protect him when he is in danger. Although Wang Shouren will not go to any dangerous places, it is not appropriate to let the chief officer wander alone on the street. Even if he does not care, other colleagues and officials will slander him when they see it. In addition, it is also the most important thing, Cao Muwen Naturally, you can't let this "monitored" target out of your sight for too long. It's enough to fall alone in the house. Naturally, one person can't do anything, but... Although Cao Muwen knows that Wang Shouren naturally has no intention of rebelled in history. On the contrary, Lao Zhu's own family turned upside down.

"Family thieves are difficult to prevent, stealing the beams; brothers Ni Wall", these are all glorious deeds of killing each other within the family. In fact, the emperor should focus on his brothers, but as far as Cao Muwen knows, the Jinyi guards' monitoring of the vassal king cannot be said to be gone, but with the passage of years, this dynasty is far from the time of Chengzu Dynasty. The vassal king of the world has been guarding himself for a long time, and naturally everyone is relieved of vigilance.

After this thought, Cao Muwen secretly laughed at himself. Today, Emperor Zhengde is a fool. He sneaked out to fight like a joke. As the emperor, he still went to fight and kill the enemy. Although he looked brave, he was really bold. This also reveals that this person is a person with "developed limbs and a simple mind". At least, the emperor is easy to fool.

For example, now a lot of effort has been spent on monitoring some feudal officials far away from the capital provinces, but there is no intensive monitoring of those vassal kings. Although Cao Muwen also felt that he was suspected of opening the "eye of God" to think about the current situation, he still couldn't stand the secret ridicule.

Brother Cao? I wonder if you have any other questions?" At this time, Gong Chen found that Cao Muwenxing, who was with him, was a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something, so he asked.
