Chapter 1108: County Magistrate Wang Discovers Sun Shan’s Biggest Secret

However, Sun Shan soon let it go after reading the second report.

This is a document specially written to him by Chenzhou Prefecture.

It probably said something like thanking the magistrate of Yuanlu for helping to suppress the bandits and bringing peace to the people, and finally gave a reward of 200 taels.

Sun Shan quickly opened another box, revealing the glittering silver ingots.

Emma, ​​immediately blinded by the bright light of his triangular eyes that were hung high up.

Emma, ​​if you had told me earlier, he wouldn't have been so angry.

Sun Shan touched the silver ingot excitedly, and found it so adorable no matter how he touched it.

She is chubby and just like the little fat girl, she is very much to his liking.

Chenzhou Prefecture and the Wei Suo, no, it should be mainly the Wei Suo. When reporting to the court, the Wei Suo was the main focus, praising how bravely they suppressed the bandits, and passing over Sun Shan.

Although the report from Chenzhou Prefecture briefly mentioned rewarding Sun Shan, the focus was on giving money, which left people speechless.

Sun Shan felt a little strange. How did the garrison convince Liu Yinen of Chenzhou Prefecture to give 90% of the labor to the garrison, 80% of the 10% to the prefect of Chenzhou, and 20% of the remaining 10% to the magistrate of Yuanlu County?

Could it be that the head of the guards had a secret relationship with Liu Yi? Or were the two secretly colluding and exchanging benefits?

Many officials rushed to claim credit for this great achievement in suppressing bandits, and some would even exaggerate it when reporting it to their superiors to make their own political achievements even more outstanding.

For example, if you suppress 50 bandits, the report may show that you suppress 100 bandits.

Since Sun Shan's immediate superior was Prefect Liu, he would certainly highlight Prefect Liu's contributions when reporting to him.

Now that Magistrate Liu was willing to play a supporting role, Sun Shan really couldn't understand why.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

He was just a seventh-rank local official. Although he was much higher than a ninth-rank official, he was still insignificant in front of the big guys above him.

I must act more cautiously in the future. The big guys above are "colluding" with each other. If I touch their interests, I might be killed in minutes.

County Magistrate Wang, who was hiding far away, stared at Sun Shan in amazement.

At first, he was frightened by his "venomous snake" eyes and took a few steps back. Then he saw Sun Shan looking at a small box of silver ingots with shining eyes.

Then we see Sun Shan sometimes frowning, sometimes grinning, his face full of "colors", like the weather in May, unpredictable.

Emma, ​​Mr. Sun’s expression changes so much. What does the letter say?

Even though County Magistrate Wang considered himself the tyrant of Yuanlu County, he did not dare to open the letter from his superior without permission, so he did not know what was written on it.

But when I saw silver ingots sticking out of a small box, I knew it must be a good thing.

Why was Lord Sun angry at first? He only smiled when he saw the silver ingot.

County Magistrate Wang was stunned, his head was stuck, and suddenly the greedy image of "Sun Shan who loves money like his life" appeared in his mind.

It was especially special to see Sun Shan touching the silver ingots with his own eyes, as if he had obtained the best tea.

Emma, ​​he seemed to have discovered the truth: this Lord Sun is a greedy person!

Emma, ​​no wonder Lord Sun accepted their gifts with an indifferent expression. Could it be that they gave the wrong gifts?

County Magistrate Wang recalled that on the first day he welcomed Lord Sun into the city, he had prepared a good banquet, but the only gift he did not have was "gold ingots".

Emma, ​​no wonder Lord Sun is indifferent to their yamen. It seems that he blames them for not being good people and not giving him money.

County Magistrate Wang continued to recall that during the time when Sun Shan was the local official in Yuanlu, he either went out to inspect or hid in the office. The number of times he spoke to his subordinates could be counted on dozens of fingers.

It's all about business, and I don't want to fit in with their circle or be in cahoots with them at all.

At present, it seems that Lord Sun thinks that they do not know how to behave and do things, and have not given him generous gifts, so he adopts this "neither salty nor bland" way of getting along with them and leaves them aside.

Just think of this: which county magistrate, when he becomes an official, does not entertain this and that person, gather information from each other, and look for opportunities for cooperation?

Those who can be won over will be won over, and those who cannot be won over will be suppressed.

Their Lord Sun was completely different. He had been here for two or three months, but apart from a welcoming banquet and a banquet for local gentry, he had never eaten or drunk tea with them.

Everyone in Yuanlu County who had some ability thought that Sun Shan was a weird official and was afraid that he might be planning something big.

County Magistrate Wang also thought so. He always felt that Sun Shan was doing something secretly and would find the right opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Everyone was worried as they had no idea how they would be dealt with.

The only thing that is certain is that Sun Shan attaches great importance to the county school. County Magistrate Wang and others suspect that Sun Shan is using the scholars in the county school to fight against them, the officials.

Scholars have very sharp tongues. They can even say that a dead person is alive and a salted fish is alive. County Magistrate Wang and his gang have been keeping a close eye on the county school these days.

But nothing was discovered.

There is also my eldest nephew who is under house arrest in the inner courtyard. In name, he is studying, but in reality it is a disguised form of house arrest.

Not only him, but even his eldest nephew's parents could only meet from a distance if they wanted to, and there was no chance for close contact at all.

The people in his own yamen had no way to get close to his nephew.

If he hadn't heard his nephew reading every day, County Magistrate Wang would have really suspected that his nephew was dead.

County Magistrate Wang thought about it and couldn't figure out what Sun Shan was going to do.

Now seeing Sun Shan looking at a box of silver ingots glittering with starlight, they were suddenly shocked to realize that Sun Shan was not going to deal with them, but was leaving them alone.

Just because they don't know how to behave and don't know how to give Sun Shan a generous gift.

Of course, this generous gift is a big gold ingot.

This Lord Sun hid his true intentions so well that one would think that a true scholar like him who passed the imperial examinations twice would regard money as dirt, but in fact he loved money as his life.

Especially when I looked at the silver ingot just now, wow, it was like looking at a beautiful girl.

Emma, ​​County Magistrate Wang discovered Sun Shan’s biggest secret and couldn’t help but get excited.

If they like money, then they like money. In the future, they will use money to pave the way and ensure that they can get along well with Sun Shan.

What I fear most is the so-called "honest official" who has no desires or demands.

These subordinates can only fish in muddy water.

Now that my boss is also a person who likes to slack off, we naturally have things to talk about and can get along better and slack off together.

Pretending he saw nothing, County Magistrate Wang stepped forward and asked, "Lord Sun, what news has come from Chenzhou Prefecture?"

He glanced at the box of silver ingots. Lord Sun would not have kept silent about such an obvious matter.

Sun Shan was really upright. He handed the document to County Magistrate Wang and asked him to take a look.

He said, "We will issue a notice later to let the people of Yuanlu know that the bandits in the area near Wuling Mountain have been wiped out. The people can live in peace and the merchants can go about their business in peace."

As for awards and the like, they will definitely not be written in the notice.
