Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 473: Don’t be ashamed

Zhang Fei has been hesitant before, so many things can only be arranged secretly, and he can't reveal that he is really going to the northwest, because this is actually very sensitive, and it is best not to say it before he has made a decision.

Now that this matter has been finalized, Zhang Fei has also started to deal with the personnel arrangements for this transaction.

But fortunately, he had already started to delegate power before him. The office has always been managed by Fan Li, and the genuine bookstore has always been managed by Hou Donglai.

Zhang Fei's request to them is very simple, that is, to do according to their own ideas.

Because he knows these two people very well, they are both very conservative businessmen, and they would rather earn less than take a little risk.

Now that Zhang Fei is going to Hezhong Mansion, will he still follow Zhang Fei's route?

Zhang Fei thinks that their views have not changed because of him, so his own approach is not suitable for the two of them, and they should be the main ones.

He is mainly busy now dealing with many contract issues, especially on the side of the charitable foundation.

"Member, please send someone to send this contract to Fan Da, let him have a look first, then I will discuss it with him personally."

"Okay, I'll send someone there right away."

Just as Fan Li walked to the door, he suddenly saw a burly, handsome middle-aged man walking in, "Superintendent Cao?"

Zhang Fei turned his head to look, and said in surprise, "Chief Superintendent?"

Cao Ping ignored Fan Li, looked directly at Zhang Fei, and said with a half-smile: "I didn't expect you to be so surprised by my arrival?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I heard from the yamen that the Chief Superintendent has been ill recently, but today I see that the Chief Superintendent is full of energy, full of energy, and has strong steps, unlike a long-term illness." In body."

Cao Ping blushed immediately, coughed, and said vaguely: "It's been healed not long ago."

In an instant, the momentum was gone.

"That's it! That's good! That's good!" Zhang Fei nodded again and again, and then stretched out his hand to signal: "The chief superintendent please."

By the way, he gave Fan Li a wink and told him to go.

Then invited Cao Ping to the private room.

Sitting in the private room, Cao Ping looked directly at Zhang Fei without saying a word.

The private room was completely silent.

Zhang Fei was uncomfortable being stared at by him, a little impatient, and simply said: "Yes, I suggested that the government send Ya Nei to Hezhong Mansion."

This can't be hidden from the truth, let the emperor or Sima Guang decide, it is impossible to send Cao Dongdong.

Cao Ping remained silent.

Zhang Fei's eyes shook a few times, and he said again: "Chief Superintendent, your Cao family is a generation of heroes, loyal to the emperor and serving the country, and the enemies you face are not good, but there have never been cowards. Protecting the yamen is not like the style of the Cao family."

Cao Ping said slowly: "I am very aware of Dong'er's character. He can't handle the affairs of the Hezhong Mansion at all. Why did you choose him?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, and then he understood the purpose of Cao Ping's visit, and asked, "I don't know what the Chief Superintendent thinks?"

Cao Ping smiled coldly: "It's nothing more than two points. First, I want to use the name of my Cao family as a deterrent. Second, Dong'er is simple-minded, so I can easily be controlled by you."

Zhang Fei wondered: "The yamen is simple?"

Cao Ping's eyes widened: "I mean in the officialdom, not... ahem, he is not the opponent of those people at all."

Zhang Fei couldn't help asking: "Who is it?"

Cao Ping asked: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's not that the imperial court has never sent people to govern. Those officials are all experienced and capable, but they also treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Maybe there is nothing wrong with being simple. Law enforcement in that place, The more scruples you have, the more restrained you are, the more you lose, the more simple you are, the more people will respect you."

Who is going to force a fool!

Cao Ping frowned slightly.

Zhang Fei continued: "I have no intention of looking down on the Cao family, but if the Cao family can be deterred, then the problem of the Hezhong Mansion is not a problem. I suggest that Ya Nei go with me, first of all, of course because I have a good relationship with Ya Nei and have a certain tacit understanding.

Secondly, it is because of the ability of Ya Nei. "

Cao Ping asked: "What ability?"

He really didn't find out that Cao Dongdong's ability is worthy of recognition, just those few punches and embroidered legs?

What's the use of that?

Zhang Fei said: "The ability to lead."

"Leadership?"

Cao Ping was immediately dumbfounded. Are you talking about my son?

How come I don't know!

"Good!"

Zhang Fei nodded, "Could it be that the chief superintendent didn't notice that those royal police officers obeyed the orders of the yamen very well, which is very rare."

Cao Ping pondered for a while, and said: "Dong'er has loved to make friends since he was a child, and he can chat with anyone. This is not leadership."

Zhang Fei said: "I only believe in the results I have seen. Ya Nei is still quite respected in the police station. I think this has something to do with Ya Nei's involvement in the three Ya Nei since he was a child. He actually knows the way of training soldiers very well. It's just that he himself Didn't even notice."

At the beginning, Cao Dongdong was in charge of training the auxiliary police. Cao Ping always pretended to be sick at home, but he was very successful. Then Cao Dongdong also planted a lot of traitors in the tax department. It was at that time that Zhang Fei discovered Cao Dongdong’s ability Yes, this ability to buy people's hearts is really powerful.

Cao Ping didn't bother to argue with him, so he asked, "Just because of this?"

Zhang Fei said: "The main point is this, and there is also the courage and fearlessness. If I don't have the courage, I can't go. If I want a superintendent who is completely obedient to go with me, it is not difficult, and I absolutely I will not choose Ya Nei."

Jiang Cao looked at Zhang Fei for a while, and his expression softened a little. He came here this time mainly to see why Zhang Fei chose Cao Dongdong. He was worried that Zhang Fei asked Cao Dongdong to take the blame for him. He said: "You just valued Dong'er's military training ability, that is to say, don't you plan to drop the Royal Police from here?"

Zhang Fei asked: "What does the Chief Superintendent think I should do?"

Cao commented: "If I knew, I would go by myself."

Zhang Fei said: "I plan to recruit people over there."

"Why?"

Cao Ping asked: "If you recruit people locally, you will also be subject to them."

Zhang Fei said: "I've inquired about the situation in the Hezhong Mansion. The officials in the mansion represent the local power, and their families have been prosperous in the local area for a long time, so that later, the local officials are extremely dependent on them."

Cao Ping nodded.

Zhang Fei changed the subject: "But I believe they cannot represent the local forces, because they earn more, and others earn less. Besides, if I drop the Royal Police from the capital, it will instead arouse the local forces. The forces hold together to keep warm."

If you bring a group of people there, they will think that you are trying to occupy the magpie's nest, and they really want to make an enemy of the entire Hezhong Mansion.

"Use barbarians to control barbarians."

Cao Ping nodded with a smile, and said again: "But it's still a change of soup, even if your strategy is successful, in the end the police station will become very dependent on these royal police."

Zhang Fei said: "But I don't want them to replace those officials, but to destroy the previous administration of officials. As far as human nature is concerned, they don't worry about scarcity but inequality. I believe they will be willing to destroy it."

Cao Ping didn't show his expression, and suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that the case of Zhong Er and Lu Shen will also be handed over to you for trial?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Cao commented: "Do you want to hear my advice?"

Zhang Fei hastened to say: "Junior is all ears."

Cao commented: "The ancestors of my Cao family all made great achievements in battle, but almost all of them were demoted because they did not obey orders. If you really want to end this matter, and even if you are more inclined to be kind, you must convict him, otherwise, his troubles will continue and there will be no peace."

Zhang Fei frowned and pondered a little, then shook his head and said, "Sorry! I can't do this, and I will judge based on the facts. To tell you the truth, the purpose of my trip is to solve the problem of the Chief Superintendent. The words are commonplace, because it is unreasonable, and those who are good at military power should be punished, but the premise is that he is really good at military power.”

"I'm just giving a suggestion, it's up to you to listen or not."

Cao Ping suddenly stood up, "I'm going first."

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, then got up and said, "I'll see the Chief Superintendent."

"No!"

Cao Ping raised his hand and stopped him, but when he walked to the door and was about to open it, he stopped again, turned around and said to Zhang Fei: "There are two reasons why I don't agree with Dong'er going. First, I am worried that he will be used by you; second, I don’t think he is capable of taking on this important task, not because he wants to be a coward.

My Cao family man was born and died for Song Dynasty, but he has never been afraid. At this time, I still think so, but unfortunately I can't stop Dong'er from going. Since you suggested him to go, you'd better ensure that he can successfully complete the task. Our Cao family is very unaccustomed to failure. "

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

Zhang Fei muttered to himself: "I seem to be used to it."

In fact, whether it is Cao Ping or the Queen Mother Cao, they always put the reputation of the Cao family first, not the safety of Cao Dongdong. After all, the reputation of their Cao family is really It was their ancestors who sacrificed their lives for it.

Letting Cao Dongdong go is to embarrass the Cao family!

But he couldn't make the decision on this matter, so he immediately changed his mind. He wanted to fully support Zhang Fei. He came here today to advise Zhang Fei not to transfer the Royal Police from the capital. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei had already thought of this. , and very well prepared.

At the same time, Cao Ping believed that Cao Dongdong had to ask for something in return, and he hoped that the general would be treated fairly.

For such an embarrassing situation, these generals and aristocratic families are very upset, but they don't dare to say it.

After all, this involves the law of the ancestors.

The Cao family produced many famous generals, but they were all demoted because of this kind of thing, almost without exception. This is an unavoidable hurdle for generals in the Song Dynasty. command.

You decide whether to fight or not to fight, but how to fight, you still intervene, which is very outrageous.

So when he learned that Zhang Fei was also going for this, he didn't say much.
