Madam, She Has a Tender Heart - Chapter 423

Chapter 423: Cruel Officials

Within a few days, the person Pei Shi mentioned who could serve as the governor of Chuzhou arrived.

“This man’s name is Xu Tang. He was the Minister of Dali Temple in the previous dynasty and was a third-rank official. He has been familiar with the law since he was a child and knows the Shuo laws by heart. Because he is not afraid of power, does not like flattery, enforces the law strictly, and is unwilling to pursue selfish interests, he has offended Many people were called cruel officials. They were kicked out in the late years of the previous dynasty and refused to join the ranks of Wuliang. Now they are enjoying teaching their children and grandchildren at home. “

Lu Bocheng frowned when he heard about the cruel official.

 Which official in history was the best? The methods are harsh and cruel. Lu Bocheng was a little unhappy inside.

Su Qingyu glanced at him and knew what he was thinking.

He said: “Cruel officials, what do you think of them? They were originally created by the monarch in order to realize his autocratic rule. They were also victims. For example, Shang Yang in the Qin Dynasty, if he had not implemented strict laws in the Qin State, it would never have existed. The emperor is still unable to unify the six countries.”

“The reason why they are called cruel officials is that they do not follow personal feelings when teaching the law, are not afraid of powerful people, and treat everyone equally. Even the princes are guilty of the same crime as the common people. If they offend others, they will not be liked by others.”

“But in special times and special circumstances, people like them have to be used. Otherwise, as far as Chuzhou is concerned, do you plan to be affectionate and rational with them? The cruel officials punish the evildoers severely to maintain the stability of the country. . If you only reuse it when you need it and throw it away when you don’t need it, it would be too chilling.”

 Different people govern different environments in different periods. Cruel officials strengthen public security and fight against the powerful. It’s a bit like today’s fight, black, elimination, evil. In troubled times, you need to use a heavy hammer to achieve miraculous results.

These so-called ruthless officials usually have three characteristics: first, they are relatively honest; second, they like to use heavy laws and are not afraid of powerful people, and dare to deal harsh blows to those who disobey the law, especially wealthy nobles; third, they almost never fall into the trap. A good ending.

 It’s sad.

Su Qingyu added: “As long as they do not harm the people and do not seek personal gain for themselves or others, then he is a good official.”

Pei Shi heard what Mrs. Shen Jue said that was deep in his heart. And Lu Bocheng was thoughtful.

Just when Su Qingnao wanted to persuade Lu Bocheng a few more words, a lean middle-aged man strode in from outside the door and clasped his fists at Su Qingnao: “Madam is Xu Tang’s close friend and understands my heart well. Xu Tang I am willing to work hard for my wife and do my best!”

 “Mr. Xu, please get up quickly, you’re going to hurt me.”

Su Qingyu helped him up and introduced him to Lu Bocheng personally: “This is my husband. His mother died when he was young, and his father married another man and didn’t care much about him. He didn’t read a few books, and his knowledge was limited. He knows how to fight and kill. Don’t argue with him, Mr. Xu. He is actually the most considerate of his subordinates.”

 “Mr. Xu, Bo Cheng is polite.”

 “Xu Tang has met your Excellency. I am willing to follow you, riding in front of you and behind your back.”

 “Okay. I’m very relieved to have your help.”

Pei Shi watched Xu Tang and Mr. Lu chatting happily, while his wife made tea for them and stroked his beard happily.

Your Excellency, it is a blessing from my past life to have such a virtuous wife. No matter what happens in the future, Zhenhai is stable with adults and wives here.

Lu Bocheng talked with Xu Tang all night about Chuzhou affairs, and they didn’t leave until daybreak.

Lu Bocheng did some grooming and returned to bed. He saw his wife sleeping soundly. He kissed her again and again, then tiptoed and lay down next to her.

 “Are you done talking?” Su Qingyu vaguely felt his presence and asked without opening her eyes.

 “Well. We’re done talking. Did my husband wake you up?”

“Yeah.” Su Qingyu responded vaguely, found a comfortable position in his arms, lay down, and fell asleep again.

Lu Bocheng was so depressed that he originally thought that he woke up his wife, just in time to do what he wanted to do, but he didn’t expect that his wife fell asleep again after a short breath.

 Can’t laugh or cry. Seeing that she was really sleepy, he had no choice but to give up and hug her to sleep.

As for Xu Tang, his wife and the master valued him, and he felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. After resting for only two hours, he took the troops arranged by the master and immediately rode out of the city to Chuzhou. A few days later, all the parts of the mansion that needed to be repaired were repaired, and the whole mansion looked brand new.

There are also maids and women everywhere, unmarried masters, generals and soldiers living in the house. This is so happy.

It’s getting cold, so you no longer have to go to the kitchen to find food in person. A maid will bring it to the room. The clothes I changed were also collected and washed. They were washed, ironed, folded and sent back to the room.

This is how people live their lives.

 After training for a day, who would be willing to fetch water and wash clothes by himself after returning to the house?

Who doesn’t wear it for seven to eight days and only wash it once every ten days? It stinks, it stinks, everyone is the same anyway, and don’t women all call them stinky men? How about it not smelling bad?

 But now the clothes are collected and washed every day, and there are girls and women at home. Who wants to be smelly and be a smelly man?

 Sure enough, a woman still needs to take care of the family.

Su Qingyu didn’t know that because of her arrival, many unmarried men wanted to start a family.

Gouwa specially came to find her that day.

“sister in law…”

Seeing that he was hesitating and couldn’t hold in his fart for a long time, Lu Bocheng kicked him: “You came to see your sister-in-law late at night, and you didn’t say anything when you came. Are you stupid? If nothing happens, get out of here. Don’t bother us.”

 I was away during the day, so I finally had a chance to be gentle with my wife for a while at night, and then I came to cause trouble.

 “Sir, you are not kind!” Gouwa accused him.

“Why am I not being kind? Do you have less food or clothing? Still don’t pay you? Or do I have spoils for you to choose from?”

Gouwa shook his head: “None of them.”

 “What is that! If you don’t say anything again, I will beat you out!”

“Sir, have you forgotten? You said that when you meet my sister-in-law in the future, you will ask her to introduce me to a woman as beautiful and as good as my sister-in-law. You haven’t followed me for these days. My sister-in-law said!”

Lu Bocheng was dumbfounded when he heard this. What is this?

He has been so busy these days, busy with military matters, busy sending people to mine and smelt iron ore, and busy coming back to hug his wife. Is he free?

 Do you think he is very idle?

 Kick him if you make a move.

Gouwa ducked and jumped to Su Qingyu’s side.

Su Qingnao smiled and said: “Don’t worry, sister-in-law remembers it. You adults told me before when you were in Tiantai County. I also want to thank you very much. I have been with you all these years. Thank you for your desperate effort, sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law, don’t be like this, this is what I should do.” Gouwa suddenly became at a loss.

He couldn’t speak clearly and felt embarrassed, so he turned around and ran away.

“Why is this still running away? I also want to ask him what kind of thing he likes. I don’t know his preferences, how can I help him find it?”

“Ignore him. I’ll ask him tomorrow. Madam, let’s rest.”
