After being read by the tyrant, the character of the little cannon fodder completely collapsed

Chapter 29
Buying an official position and selling an official position! !

Everyone’s eyes instantly became hot!
To tell the truth, which man doesn’t have the dream of becoming an official, getting rich, and having a beautiful girl?
Nowadays, the dream is right in front of you. You can get it as long as you put out the food. Who doesn’t want it?
Even Wu Yong felt that he was on the verge of promotion: "Girl, I wonder how your official title... will be sold? Is there an official title higher than the fifth grade for sale?"

"Master Wu, you are already in the fifth rank. You have great power, so don't think too much about it." Ling Xi smiled coldly: "Besides, it's not that I don't look down on you, it's that the price of this official title is really high. , very high, if it weren’t for the power of the family like Patriarch Fan, we’d better not waste my censor’s time!”

The master approached Fan Kang and said hello shamelessly: "Master Fan, I wonder how much food you spent on this fifth-grade imperial platform?"

Fan Kang waved mysteriously.

When the master got closer, he lowered his voice: "A lot!"

Master: ...

Is not this nonsensical?

Saying it means not saying it!

Fan Kang whispered again: "Master, don't you want to seek an official position?"

"Master Fan, are you kidding me? Who doesn't want to be an official? Of course I do," the master said with embarrassment, "But you just said that the price of buying an official is very, very high."

"Tsk, Master, you don't know this. Some officials need food, but some officials need eloquence." Fan Kang glanced at Wu Yong and said mischievously: "The Censor revealed a piece of information to me before. , said it was a seventh-grade merit officer, let me see who to give it to."

"Seventh grade? Merit officer?"

Master has been involved in official circles all his life, and he has never heard of the term "merit officer".

"This merit officer does not use food, but only looks at the ability and effectiveness of his work. The Censor said that if he is really worthy of reuse, he will be brought to the capital in the future."

The master's eyes lit up: "Then, Master Fan, can you tell me how to..."

"Simple, it's just to select people for appointment for the Imperial Censor, you understand?"

"not understand well……"

"To put it more simply, it is to promote the sale of official positions for the Royal Censor."

"..."

The idea of ​​Ling Xi selling his official position sounds too unbelievable. Those merchants who can provide food are all old foxes and will not easily trust her, a stranger, in a short period of time.

But it's different when the master comes forward.

Although Wu Yong is a local official and has a certain say, in terms of affinity and popularity, he is far less effective than his master.

Therefore, Ling Xi specially gave him the title of "merit official" and asked Fan Kang to trick him into helping him.

The master is also a man who is obsessed with officials. As Ling Xi expected, he personally ran publicity for Ling Xi.

Within half a day, with Fancheng as the center, almost all merchants in villages and towns within the Shiliang River received the news.

While they sent people to inquire about the news, they also prepared food to buy officials.

Ling Xi and Qian Shizhong stayed at the city defense yamen to guard the city, while Chen Qianzhe and Fan Kang took the imperial envoy's hand and ordered more than 20 officers and soldiers from the yamen to go to Fan's house to collect food. .

On the way, Chen Qianzhe bought a mask and put it on.

Sanshu Fan had received the news a long time ago and led his clan members to guard the gate early.

When they saw the government officials and soldiers, they immediately ordered the Fan family to raid the guy.

"Someone, stop them!"

"Third uncle, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Fan Kang, you use the money from the Fan family to buy you a high-ranking official. You think so!" Uncle Fan raised his white beard and wished he could kill Fan Kang, the traitor, with a shovel.

There are so many children in the Fan family, how come he was left out and made a fifth-rank official! ?As the third uncle with the most say in the Fan family, he is about to be buried in the coffin and has not even gotten an official position. How can he not be envious and jealous? !

Chen Qianzhe suddenly said: "What will happen to General Zhonglang?"

Uncle Fan was stunned: "What?"

Fan Kang was also stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty... is the Zhonglang General who is greater than the official in the royal palace?"

"The lieutenant general is the fourth rank. Even Wu Yong has to salute you when he sees you." Chen Qianzhe looked at his fingers indifferently, without even giving Uncle Fan a look: "If you are willing, you can take up the post now." , serve as a fourth-grade lieutenant general!"

Sanshu Fan never dreamed that the official position that he could not get would be given to him as soon as he asked for it.

"Who are you? Do you mean what you say?"

Chen Qianzhe didn't bother to explain, so he raised his hand and showed the censor's hand card.

"This is……"

Before Uncle Fan could figure out what was going on, Fan Kang had already knelt down.

"Third uncle, why don't you kneel down quickly and pay homage to the Imperial Envoy..."

"The censor...didn't you say that the censor is a woman?" Uncle Fan couldn't help but glance at Chen Qianzhe.

Although this man was wearing a mask, judging from his exposed mouth and nose, he had a high nose, thin lips, fair skin, and a slender body. He did look like a beautiful woman.

"Third uncle, you don't care whether the censor is a man or a woman. As long as he has the censor's warrant and can give you official documents," Fan Kang started to trick him: "Don't you want to be a lieutenant general?"

"Of course I want to!"

"Then why don't you kneel down and thank me!?"

Uncle Fan suddenly woke up and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your support from the censor..."

Chen Qianzhe smiled half-heartedly: "Don't be too hasty to thank me, this lieutenant general is not given to you for free, he has to spend money to buy it!"

"Buy, buy, must buy!" Sanshu Fan hurriedly agreed as long as he could wear an official hat. He couldn't care about other things.

Chen Qianzhe threw down a conferment document.

Fan Kang helped unfold it: "Third uncle, look..."

Uncle Fan San's conferment document was written by Chen Qianzhe on the way here.

After he heard a series of things about Sanshu Fan, he felt that this man was eager for quick success and greedy, and would definitely cause trouble for them, so he casually wrote a conferment document.

"Your Majesty, Miss Ling said that the official ranks are only from seventh to fifth rank. This lieutenant... seems to be fourth rank, right?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a conferment document. It doesn't have an official seal. He doesn't understand it anyway. Besides," Chen Qianzhe said with a meaningful smile: "He is already so old and has only a few days to live. Even if it is given to him, He can't even sit on the dragon's throne for a few days, so what can he do if he is allowed to be a lieutenant general!?"

Looking at it now, this is indeed the case.

Uncle Fan was overjoyed with the conferment document and didn't even think about the official seal. He hurriedly asked people to pull out the grain.

Afraid of being late, Chen Qianzhe took back the conferment document.

Fan Kang couldn't help but sigh: ...Your Majesty's empty-handed tactics are really great!
With just a few trumped-up official titles, all the food needed for disaster relief was raised.

high!
It's really high! !
Chen Qianzhe got the grain smoothly and escorted it to the granary of the city defense yamen.

Ling Xi led people to count the food, and he went back to the government office to rest. As soon as he sat down without drinking a cup of tea, he heard the commotion outside.

"It's not good. The mob robbed the grain and destroyed the granary. All the people and grain inside were buried..."
