    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    After breakfast the next day, Shen Mo and Gui Youguang prepared presents and the plan to dredge the Wusong River, and went to the Changzhou County Government in casual clothes.

    Hai Rui suspended his duties for self-reflection. Now the work of the county government is presided over by the county magistrate. The two silently watched from the window of the car, everything was in order, so they did not disturb his work, and ordered the coachman to go to the back door.

    Turning to the back door of the county government office, I saw some old men with sallow complexions and ragged clothes sitting at the door, and some bare-bottomed children playing.  Looking inside, the yard is full of very simple shacks, tattered clothes are hanging in the open space, and there are a few women chopping firewood for laundry.  Silence is no stranger to this scene. It was basically like this when he and his father lived in the slums by the river.

    The two looked up, and they thought it was right, it was the back door of the county government office, why did it become like this?  Gui Youguang was surprised and said: "Scared, is the beggar gang attacking the county government?"

    "Fuck you." Mo Mo cursed with a smile, and asked Sanchi to find an old man to ask, is Master Hai in there?

    Three feet bumped past, talked to those old people who were idle, and came back after a while and said: "Master Hai is inside, these people are all kept by him."

    Gui Youguang asked, "Are you still going in?"

    "Go in, why don't you go in?" Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "It's so embarrassing to be scared off."

    The guards carried their things and protected the two adults, carefully entered the county office, passed through the shacks and clothes racks, and had to be careful not to touch their clothes on the ground.

    Silently looked at those shacks, except for a few black and worn quilts, a few broken bowls for eating, a broken pot and a few bricks, there was nothing left.

    "This is all the belongings of those victims" Silently said secretly, he has always avoided touching the suffering at the bottom, because it would make his heart as hard as a stone, cracks appear, and he has no confidence in his code of conduct and even morality.  The ruler casts doubts.  He knew that in this age, it would be almost destructive. Not only would it be useless to his official career, but it would also turn the lofty ideals that had always supported him into a mirror and a moon in the water.

    Hardened his heart, he and Gui Youguang searched all the way to find Hai Rui.  If it wasn't for a boy who took the initiative to lead the way, he would really be lost in the layers of shacks and hangers.

    "Here, that's Lord Hai's yard." The child led them around, and finally arrived outside a small courtyard in the corner of the government office, and then ran away without looking back.

    Looking at the windy dangerous wall and the two dilapidated tile-roofed houses in the small courtyard, he asked silently, "Is that brat playing tricks on us?"

    Gui Youguang saw a man holding a trowel and concentrating on repairing the crumbling brick wall. Seeing this man's face covered with mud, he whispered, "Ask the man who works for him." He walked over  , reached out to pat his shoulder, but saw that it was full of dust, so he withdrew his hand and asked, "Excuse me, Lord Hai Ruihai lives here?"

    What he never expected was that the man who built the wall turned around, grinned and said, "Mr. Zhenchuan, how did you find this place?"

    Only after listening to the voice, the two realized that this 'yellow-faced Dian Wei' was actually Hai Rui.  Looking at his attire, he held a trowel in one hand and a bucket in the other. His clothes were ragged and covered in mud. He was no different from the disaster victims outside, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

    It took Gui Youguang a long time to hold back a sentence and said, "What are you doing?"

    "Build the wall." Hai Rui waved the trowel in his hand, and the muddy water splashed up: "This wall has been in disrepair for a long time, and it can be washed down in a heavy rain."

    Gui Youguang quickly dodged, but was still splashed with a few drops on the corner of his clothes, and said with a wry smile: "Since ancient times, 'officials don't repair government offices', and it's normal for some places to fall into disrepair, but there are so many good houses in the county government office, why do you bother?"  Do you have to pick up the broken ones?"

    "I've been dismissed," Hai Rui said as if he hadn't seen Silence, while picking up bricks and building them on the wall, "living here is already wrong, but I can't afford a house in Suzhou, so I have to be thick-skinned  Stay here."

    Up to now, he has ignored the silence, which made the Lord Fuzun quite embarrassed, Gui Youguang quickly made a relief and said: "Gang Feng, my lord came to see you, why don't you invite me to sit in the room?"

    Hai Rui just took a look at Silence, but the whites of his eyes were mostly white, and he said sullenly: "The room is too messy, I can't get in, so let's talk here if you have something to do."

    "Gangfeng" Gui Youguang said that you are too ignorant of flattery, so he couldn't help but emphasize his tone.

    "Ru Xian," at this moment an old lady's voice sounded from the courtyard, full of air and very loud: "When guests come, they are not invited to sit in the house."

    "Hey" Hai Rui sighed, put down the trowel, removed the rag from his shoulders, and wiped his handsAre peasants who live but have no means of food and clothing strong?  "

    "Not everyone can be an official." Gui Youguang said depressedly.

    "Being an official doesn't need skills, and secondly, you don't need strength. If you follow the laws established by your ancestors and follow the scriptures, you can govern well." Hai Rui said with a smile: "Even without the nonsense of being an official, the common people live better  Woolen cloth!"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "You, you, messing around" Gui Youguang was out of breath, and wanted to argue with him, but was stopped by silence, and gave him a wink, meaning, stop wasting spitting with this idiot.  Only then did he remain silent.

    Mo Mo looked at Hai Rui with a peaceful expression: "If you're not in your position, you won't seek government affairs. You're just a little magistrate, and I'm just a little fellow magistrate. We can neither kill anyone nor change the status quo."

    "Why can't it be changed?" Hai Rui excitedly said, "I understand what your lord means, you can do as much as you want, then if we turn Changzhou County and Suzhou Mansion into a pure land, it will be a blessing for the common people!  Much better than being in the same dust as light!"

    "Master Hai!" Shen Shen said: "The Ming Dynasty did not only have one Suzhou mansion, nor did it only have our subordinates. We also have colleagues and Shangfeng. We are just one of the fourteen mansions in Nanzhili;  Li is just one of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty."

    "Among the tens of thousands of officials of the seventh rank and above in the Ming Dynasty, we are just two insignificant two. Our existence or loss will not affect the operation of this huge machine." Silence said earnestly: "This means that we must abide by the rules of the game.  If you violate it, you will be quarantined and expelled from the field! Then you will not even have the chance to do anything practical for the people"

    Hai Rui's two bushy eyebrows trembled uncontrollably, with a deep look of disappointment on his face, but he nodded slowly¡ª¡ª
