Chapter 307 Duanmu offers advice
When everyone had dispersed, Yan Xing ran out in a panic.
Just now, he suddenly heard a noise outside. When he asked, he realized that countless people were pouring into the Yamen. Seeing that nothing happened, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Yan... No, I should call you Yan County Cheng now."
Lin Xiaofan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yan Xing looked puzzled. Didn't he agree to let Duanmu Liangchuan be the county magistrate?
Could it be that Duanmu Liangchuan refused to come out?
This is not possible. I have to write a letter to the little guy and see if I can persuade him to come out of the mountain.
It's a good time for him. For Lin Xiaofan, he is a good helper. Why can't he understand this kind of thing that has the best of both worlds?
"Yan County Cheng, what are you thinking about? The people gathered here just now and begged me to give you a promotion. I had no choice but to agree. There must have been thousands of people at that time. Do you want me to break my promise? Can’t do it?”
Seeing that Yan Xing was about to refuse again, Lin Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and said.
Hearing this, Yan Xing suddenly understood. These people wanted to find an official position for him.
"This...oh, what kind of trouble is this!"
He sighed heavily, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
He had been looking forward to getting promoted for decades, and it had even become a worry for him. Taking the position of county magistrate, he naturally agreed in his heart. But if he takes the position himself, will Duanmu Liangchuan still come out?
"Don't worry, Yan County Cheng, Duanmu Liangchuan has agreed to leave. It's just that I have arranged for him to go elsewhere."
Lin Xiaofan whispered. The matter of Duanmu Liangchuan cannot be exposed for the time being.
"That's good, that's good!"
Hearing this, Yan Xing's face instantly filled with joy.
"We are blessed with double happiness today, why don't we take a stroll in the city?"
Lin Xiaofan was in a good mood and said.
"Well."
After several light rains, the haze that had covered the small town for many years has dissipated a lot today.
In the shops on both sides of the street, people were doing business happily.
People were coming and going on the road, and the people's faces were filled with joy. For them, today is a happy day.
Lin Xiaofan's face looked a little more pleased, but there were still many things in his heart.
Rogue bandits can threaten the people of Lifeng County at any time, and the big families in the city have not yet been eliminated.
Although I am confident in dealing with them, I don't know how long it will take.
Compared with the prosperity on the streets, the atmosphere in the Lin family compound is much cooler.
Lin Xiao, the head of the Lin family, has learned what happened just now, and his heart is filled with anger.
After these unscrupulous people made such a fuss, the position of county magistrate, which was supposed to be his son, now fell to the old man Yan Xing. How could he not be angry?
"Dad, these unscrupulous people deserve to die, and this Lin Xiaofan also broke his promise and gave me the position he promised to give to Yan Xing just because of a few words from these unscrupulous people? Didn't he invite us tonight? Are you going to eat? I must ask him for an explanation when the time comes!"
Lin Yu on the side was full of anger, wanting to make his father angry and teach the newly appointed county magistrate a lesson.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. He had watched Lin Yu grow up since he was a child, and he could naturally see through his son's little thoughts at a glance.
"Can you be smarter? When did they say that they would give you the position of county magistrate? And with so many unscrupulous people petitioning, and he wants to establish himself as an upright official, he must agree to them. Speaking of which, this matter Can’t blame him.”
He did not have the ability to take off Lin Xiaofan's official hat, so he would never fall out with Lin Xiaofan unless he had to.
Hearing this, Lin Yu frowned slightly and asked:
"Dad, do you think we are being tricked by Lin Xiaofan? Maybe he doesn't want to be an upright official, but really wants to be an upright official. If that's the case, then we have to do it no matter what. Replace him. If that doesn't work, kill him."
At the end of the sentence, Lin Yu's face gradually became fierce.
Ever since he was young, he has had no fewer than ten lives in his hands.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao was about to curse, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was some truth in what he said.
"It's hard to say. In this era, it's almost impossible to find an honest official, but it's not impossible to have one."
Lin Xiao was thinking as he spoke, then looked at Duanmu Liangchuan aside and asked:
"Brother Duanmu, do you think he is an upright official?"
He showed full respect for this new guest Duanmu Liangchuan, but he did not let go of his doubts.
Duanmu Liangchuan shook his head slightly, and then said:
"Clan Leader Lin, it's hard to tell. If he is a corrupt official, his behavior in the past few days is too abnormal. If he is an upright official, then why does he need to invite you to dinner? In my opinion, this matter cannot be concluded hastily. Need to observe more. I think tonight is a good time."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's heart became much clearer. Indeed, as Duanmu Liangchuan said, this matter cannot be concluded casually, and then he asked again:
"Brother Duanmu, what do you think Lin Xiaofan is going to say at tonight's dinner? How should I test him?"
Duanmu Liangchuan smiled slightly, and then said:
"In my opinion, there are only two possibilities. Either give Lin Yu the position of county magistrate for profit, or threaten you so that you don't bully the people. But this afternoon many people made trouble, and his deployment was also disrupted. upset."
"I think if he is a corrupt official, he will never let go of this opportunity to make profits, and the position of chief clerk is still vacant in the county. When the time comes, Lin Yu should be given the position of chief clerk."
When Lin Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up.
Yes, the position of county magistrate is gone, but the position of chief registrar is vacant.
Although it was one level lower, it was still Lin Xiaofan who decided who had more power.
After Yu'er entered the Yamen, he and Magistrate Lin joined forces, and Yan Xing could only be sidelined.
But will Magistrate Lin really conspire with them?
"Brother Duanmu is such a talented person, I deeply admire him. However, what if he is unwilling to be given the position of chief registrar?"
Lin Xiao then asked.
Hearing this, Duanmu Liangchuan frowned slightly.
If he is not given the position of chief secretary, he is clearly going against the Lin family. In this way, arranging himself to the Lin family would be unnecessary.
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said firmly:
"If he is unwilling to give this position of chief secretary, it means that he is really an upright official, and he has Zhao Cang's support behind him. If so, the Lin family will try to keep a low profile in the future and not leave any clues for him. Wait until the time is right. At this time, once again turn things around!"
"it is good!"
Lin Xiao agreed very much with what Duanmu Liangchuan said.
The Lin family does have some strength in Degao County, but they must not confront the county magistrate head-on.
"Clan Chief Lin, the time is almost up, you go and prepare first. If County Magistrate Lin is willing to give this position, then we must find a way to win it no matter how high the price is. Only in this way can we cooperate with other families in the county. Create a gap.”
Duanmu Liangchuan glanced at the sky and spoke.
"Okay, Brother Duanmu, everything is up to you. Someone, please bring the night-light pearl I bought this morning to Brother Duanmu's house."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Chief Lin."
When Duanmu Liangchuan heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy.
"Brother Duanmu is willing to come and help our Lin family achieve great things. Money is nothing."
Lin Xiao waved his hand. If he could get Duanmu Liangchuan, let alone a piece of luminous pearl, it would be worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Lin Xiao and Lin Yu wanted to go together, and the surrounding guards also retreated. For a while, only Duanmu Liangchuan was left in the open space.
He looked at the county government office, with a wry smile on his lips, and murmured in a low voice:
"Magistrate Lin, I hope we can think of going together."
