Chapter 327 Just Do What You Like
Cui Yushan first came to Mangcheng as an imperial envoy. At that time, no matter how he acted, Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng just pretended not to see anything.
But once the imperial edict was issued, Wei Ling became the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he took over the post of the Foundry Department. If the sixth-rank official is considered as an official sent out, it is already a high rank, but he came to Mangcheng, and after all, there are still many people with higher ranks than him in Mangcheng. There are no less than 20 military generals who have been awarded the fifth rank or above just for their military merits.
These days he was busy with the affairs of the Foundry Department and had not had much contact with other officials in Mangcheng. He was the most powerful person in the Foundry Department and there were many people flattering him, so gradually he became a little carried away.
He never thought that there was anything wrong with breaking into the Mangcheng government office. It was not until Wei Ling spoke that he realized that although he was sent to monitor Wei Ling, there was an unbridgeable gap between him and Wei Ling!
Emperor Longchang wanted to insert people into Mangcheng, but the only position available was the Foundry Office Secretary. Even Emperor Longchang did not dare to directly take back the Mangcheng Prefecture from the actual control of the Black Tiger Army. What kind of person was he!
Cui Yushan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
His eyes wandered for a moment, and then he immediately bowed and saluted, "It is my fault. I was too concerned. Please don't take it to heart, Lord Marquis and Lord Xie. As for the injuries of the people in your house, I will compensate you." After he finished speaking, "I came here in a hurry today and did not bring so many banknotes with me. Tomorrow, the people from the foundry will come to your house and return them in full. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis and Lord Xie."
"Sir Cui, what you said now is a bit more appropriate." Xie Yingfeng said with a smile: "I know Sir Cui is worried about the government affairs of Mangcheng, but Sir Cui is an official sent by His Majesty and directly managed by the Ministry of Revenue. You are in charge of the foundry and the mining area, so Sir Cui does not need to be distracted by other things."
"I have overstepped my authority!" Cui Yushan was furious in his heart, but he appeared very humble on the surface.
"Okay, I'm glad that Lord Cui understands. Then I won't invite Lord Xie to have dinner with me." Xie Yingfeng said.
"I'm leaving now." Cui Yushan said hurriedly.
Wei Ling waited until Cui Yushan left without even looking at him again.
"My husband, by saying this, won't you offend him too much? After all, he has been a royal relative since he was a child." Seeing the man leave, Qu Wanning looked at Xie Yingfeng with a little concern.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how nice or mean you are to this villain, it won't change his attitude towards us." Xie Yingfeng said, "Since I know he will definitely complain behind my back, why should I pretend to be nice to him? I'll teach him a lesson so that he won't become too arrogant!"
"I still feel something is wrong." Qu Wanning thought about it and was still very worried. "There is a saying that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain."
"Don't worry." Su Jixiang stood up and took Qu Wanning's hand, smiling and comforting him, "The methods used to deal with gentlemen and villains are different. You don't have to worry too much about these things. Just do what you should do. The rest will be taken care of by these men!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Jixiang is right." General Qu said with a smile, "You should learn from Jixiang. This is how you should do it. Your husband and your brother-in-law know their limits."
"Okay!" Seeing everyone say so and Xie Yingfeng looking nonchalant again, Qu Wanning nodded doubtfully.
"Okay, stop thinking about it!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "Didn't our Lord Xie book a banquet at Zuixianju? Let's go. Today is a really good day. Even the money for the banquet has been paid for!"
"Who is it?" Qu Wanning was a little confused and asked with a bewildered look on his face.
"Of course it's the guy who broke into our prefect's mansion just now!" Xie Yingfeng said with a smile, and ordered someone to go inside to get a cloak. "Come on, let's go and have a feast today!"
Everyone burst into laughter and walked out chatting and laughing.
After getting on the carriage, Su Jixiang let out a long sigh, "You guys didn't even give Cui Yushan some face when you did things." Although she was comforting Qu Wanning just now, now that she and Wei Ling were sitting alone in a carriage, Su Jixiang couldn't help but scold Wei Ling.
Wei Ling stretched out his arms and embraced his wife, "You were trying to persuade Qu Wanning just now, but now you are blaming me!"
"I'm not blaming you, but judging from what Cui Yushan has done since he came here, he is indeed a mean person." Su Jixiang leaned in Wei Ling's arms and sighed, "Wan Ning's worry is not unreasonable."
Wei Ling smiled and patted Su Jixiang on the shoulder. "Although Cui Yushan is the distant nephew of the current empress dowager and the distant cousin of Emperor Longchang, he is not an important person after all. Your Majesty put him here but did not give him the position of governor of Mangcheng for two reasons. One is to test us, and the other is to occupy a position first and give him an eye and ear here."
"You mean, His Majesty will eventually take back the position of prefect." Although Su Jixiang had already guessed it, he still asked.
"Well, he won't let me control the military and politics of the entire Mangcheng." Wei Ling nodded. "If Cui Yushan makes us angry here, we can chop him to death with one knife. Then His Majesty will have an excuse to send people to investigate the matter and use it to weaken the Black Tiger Army's control over Mangcheng. If Cui Yushan does a good job here and we don't do anything to him, then His Majesty will send more people to take back Mangcheng's affairs from us little by little. So Cui Yushan is just a brick to attract jade. We want him to live here, but not live a very bright life!"
Su Jixiang...
"You grown men, your stomachs are full of twists and turns." Su Jixiang sighed, "I'm too lazy to care about your affairs."
"Yes, yes, Madam, just do what you want to do!" Wei Ling laughed, his chest rising and falling, "Leave the other troublesome things to my husband. Cui Yushan's strength is not because he is the nephew of the Queen Mother, but because his wife is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. If there is a rift between him and his wife, will the Minister of Revenue still be open and sincere to him?"
Su Jixiang froze a little when he heard this, "What do you want?"
"Don't worry." Wei Ling smiled and patted her on the back. "No matter what I want, I will not let Cui Yushan fall for it! If the cow doesn't want to drink water, it's useless to force it! So, Madam, you don't have to think too much. Didn't I tell you? Just do what you like. I'll take care of the other dirty things!"
