I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

Three nights later, the official Yao Zheng's mansion.

At this time, the lights were bright and everyone was busy.

One of the old women was busy giving instructions.

"All these quilts are loaded on my car! The old man's body is soft and he can't stand the fatigue of the car, so make it thicker for me!"

"I don't want this thing. I will sell it tomorrow. How much can I sell!"

"Oh, I told you... Be careful, this is the master's favorite calligraphy and painting!"

...

Yao Zheng with white hair was standing in front of the lobby, his face full of melancholy and reluctance.

Because he has resigned from office and will return to his hometown tomorrow to retire.

Leaving this mansion where he has lived for nearly 30 years, leaving this place where he struggled for half his life, there are too many regrets.

He could have stayed here, but since he can no longer be an official, what should he do here?

Ambition and ideals have become empty, simply leave the place of right and wrong, out of sight and out of mind.

At this moment, a servant rushed in in a hurry: "Master, Lin Beifan, the new champion of the new division and the imperial supervisor, is here, and he said he came to visit the master!"

Yao Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect this political enemy to come to see him before he left!

The old woman, Mrs. Yao, said angrily, "How dare we harm our master like this? Tell him to me, no! See off the guests behind closed doors!"

Yao Zheng sighed: "Forget it, my colleagues, let's meet again!"

After a while, Lin Beifan walked in with a jar of wine and a food box with a smile.

Seeing everything here, he was surprised: "Master Yao, are you leaving?"

"Can you not leave? The old man has no official or job. Wouldn't it be annoying to stay here?" Yao Zheng said sarcastically.

"That's out of the question! We are colleagues after all, and we can have different political opinions. We can fight to the death in court! But in private, friends can still do it!" Lin Beifan laughed.

Yao Zheng looked at Lin Beifan's smile, his eyes were complicated: "You are the first person to visit since the old husband resigned!"

In the tone, indescribable sadness.

As the saying goes, people take tea to cool down, but it doesn't cool down so fast!

After serving as an official for 30 years, everyone inside and outside the court recognized it clearly, and the assignment was considered extensive.

As a result, I have now resigned and left. It has been three days, and none of my colleagues have come.

Instead, Lin Beifan, a corrupt official he has repeatedly impeached, came to visit. Is it ironic?

"Then I'm really honored! I've prepared some wine and dishes, how about a drink?"

Yao Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, this old man also wants to chat with you!"

The two entered the study room and served snacks.

As soon as the wine jar was opened, the aroma wafted out immediately, filling the room like a hundred flowers blooming.

"This is Hundred Flowers Brewing!" Yao Zheng was shocked, but he didn't expect Lin Beifan to bring top-quality wine here.

"It is indeed Hundred Flowers Brew. The palace just delivered it today! But the wine needs someone to accompany me, so I brought it here on purpose, let's have a good taste!" Lin Beifan smiled and poured the wine.

"You have a little conscience, pour a little more, and fill it up!" Yao Zheng cocked his nose and took a sip, very intoxicated.

"Don't worry, I'll fill you up today!" Lin Beifan laughed.

After a few glasses of wine, the relationship between the two eased a lot.

Lin Beifan asked his doubts.

"To be honest, Master Yao, I really can't figure it out, why do you keep targeting me?" Lin Beifan asked inexplicably: "There are so many corrupt officials in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, you don't deal with them, but instead deal with me as an officialdom. Newbie?"

Yao Zheng laughed at himself while drinking: "Do you think this old man doesn't want to? I've been fighting for 30 years, and I've been fighting for 30 years now, and now I'm full of white hair! As a result, they climbed higher and higher, and I was still standing still. Have you ever experienced this kind of despair?"

"Now I know why I must fight you!"

Yao Zheng took a deep look at Lin Beifan: "Because, I was afraid that you would grow up and become another corrupt official and powerful minister! So I took you down while you were still young! In the end, I didn't fight you, but the old man lost his position. You are scarier than them!"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "That's because you are too pedantic and the method won't work!"

"Do you want to join forces like you?" Yao Zheng sneered.

"Why not? Do you think I am not living very well now?" Lin Beifan said with a smile: "I have good wine, good food, endless money, and I am favored by the Empress! Even if I offend the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty , still had a great time!"

"No matter what others are, this old man can't do such a thing!"

Yao Zheng poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Lord Lin, this old man also has a question for you!"

"Master Yao, please!"

"Lin Lin, you keep saying that you love Dawu, either you are doing your best for His Majesty, or you are dying for His Majesty. Why are you greedy for so much money? Besides, what do you want so much money for?"

"Master Yao, your question is a bit..."

"What? Can't answer, or are you embarrassed to answer?" Yao Zheng sarcastically.

"Of course not!" Lin Beifan sat upright and said with a serious face: "Master Yao, I'll tell you so! What reason do I have not to love Dawu, who can make me embezzle so much money?"

Yao Zheng: "Cough cough..."
