Chapter 44 The Commercial Court

The first update in the morning, please support it all!

———————————————

Su Chen was unwilling to think so, but the reality in front of him forced him to think there. If Su Mu had not been corruption, where did he get so much money to buy these things? Not to mention mobile phones, I'm afraid that with his salary, he would not even be able to afford these cigarettes.

"Dad!" Su Ke said coquettishly, trying to ease the atmosphere, but Su Houshi glared at him fiercely, "Shut up and stand aside!"

"Old Su, what are you doing!" Ye Cuilan said loudly.

"Mom, it's okay, Dad, I actually didn't do what you thought. Just like the one you said, I'm just a deputy mayor without real power. Who would bribe me? Where can I embezzle me?" Su Mu said with a smile.

"Then how do you explain these things?" Su Laoshi asked in a deep voice.

"Dad, actually, these things were given by a friend, named Xu Yan, who is the director of the police station in our Heishan Town. He knew that I was going home, so he asked me to give these things to you. As for this mobile phone, I bought them for Coco. But don't worry, I spent my own money.

And when I come back this time, I have also given you some money, not much, only 10,000. Don’t worry, listen to me, in fact, this money was obtained after I bought an antique on the Antique Street and sold it. Otherwise, where would your son get so much money?" Su Mu explained with a smile.

He could take out more money, but he wouldn't do that. Su Laoshi and Ye Cuilan were honest farmers, and suddenly they wouldn't know what to do when they saw so much money. Since that's the case, it would be better to send money to your house slowly. In short, he wouldn't let them suffer any more.

"Really?" Su Laoshi asked with peace of mind. He knew that if he was lucky, he might have found good things.

"Dad, can I still lie to you? What? Or if you don't want these cigarettes and alcohol, I'll give them to Grandpa Shang!" Su Mu said.

"Who said I don't want it? Since you are a friend, you can't return it to me if you give it to me. When you leave, you can get some mountain goods back to me. You can also share these things and you must give them to you Grandpa Shang." Su Laoshi made the decision on the spot.

"Okay!" Su Mu smiled.

There was still some time before lunch time, Su Mu did not hesitate, and spoke to his parents, then walked out of the house with half a box of cigarettes and wine, and walked towards a ravine near the mountains outside Su Village. As long as you see Su Mu along the way, everyone greeted him warmly. Su Mu refused everyone and responded with a smile.

"Grandpa Shang, I'm here!"

Just as Su Mu walked into the valley and came to the front of a stone courtyard, he shouted loudly into it.

Whoosh!

After the words came, the response sounded in the courtyard. An eagle rushed from mid-air, which was the legendary Hai Dongqing. This Hai Dongqing was powerful and had sharp claws. If he really caught someone, he would definitely be able to pick it up on the spot.

"Little guy, I haven't seen him for a few months and I've grown up so big!"

If someone else saw this scene, he would definitely be scared on the spot. But Su Mu raised his arms excitedly, without any timidity, and let Haidong Qing fall down.

"I know you don't like to eat cooked food, so I gave it to me. This piece of rabbit meat was specially prepared from my home." Su Mu smiled and took out a piece of rabbit meat from the box and threw it to Haidongqing. After it picked it up, it flew up with a rustling sound and landed on the sycamore tree in the yard.

"Come in!"

At this moment, a sound came from the yard, and Su Mu pushed open the door and walked in. In front of a stone table in the yard, there was an old man wearing a Tang suit, cloth shoes, a kind face, and a strange smell was released between his eyebrows. After seeing Su Mu, he showed a long-lost smile on his face.

He is what Su Lao Shi said about Grandpa Shang and Shang Ting!

No one knew the background of Shangting. He just knew that after he came to Suzhuang, he chose to live in this valley. He had never seen anyone here, and he stayed there for almost a year. At first, the people in Suzhuang were a little curious, but they soon gave up exploring.

Because there is really nothing worthy of their surprise, Shangting is just like other old men except looking at the fairy style.

As for the existence of this Haidongqing, no one in Su Village has known for so many years except Su Mu.

The reason why Su Mu's family is so good to Shangting is because Su Mu studied with Shangting. Simply put, Shangting is Su Mu's mentor. However, this kind of learning is different from the school teaching in the formal sense. It is a bit like the private school in ancient times, which is just Shangting teaches Su Mu himself.

Su Mu studied with Shangting since he was a child. Even though he went to Shengjing to study in high school in the county town, he would visit Shangting whenever he went home. However, Shangting never recognized Su Mu's identity as a disciple, and he liked the closer relationship of grandfather and grandson.

The morning jog that Su Mu still insists on is developed since he was a child following Shangting to run all over the mountains. The habits become natural and it is not easy to throw away.

"Grandpa Shang, I'll get some cigarettes and wine from the city to honor you." Su Mu sat at the stone table with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, come on, let's play a few games with me first!" Shang Ting didn't even look at the cigarettes and alcohol. He pulled his hands directly, and disrupted the chess on the stone table and started to line up again.

"Okay!"

Su Mu sat happily, and while playing chess, he simply said what he had experienced outside. He knew that such chess was just the beginning, and after that, there were Go and calligraphy. All of these things were taught to him by Shang Ting. Every time he came over, he would be tested by Shang Ting from beginning to end. Everything was easy to say when passing. If he failed, Shang Ting's smile would disappear and he would face him with a black face.

Of course, before the age of sixteen, Su Mu was often scolded by Shang Ting, but after the age of sixteen, Shang Ting's bad face became less and less, and it has basically not been there until now.

When Shangting heard that the new classroom of Daliushu Primary School was built in just over a dozen days, the construction company actually wanted to destroy the evidence after the collapse. The reason why they were so arrogant was because of the support of the mayor of Heishan Town, Yang Song, his mood was destroyed at once.

"Bastards, a group of scumbags, officials like this should be killed, one should be shot and one!" Shang Ting said with a gloomy face.

"Grandpa Shang, they have all been punished by law." Su Mu smiled.

"Hmph, I just knew I was punished, so I said that. If not, I wouldn't deal with these bastards! I dared to use the lives of children as a joke, and it was worse than pigs and dogs." Shang Ting said coldly.

"Su Mu, you are the head of a town now and manage thousands of people. I want you to tell me clearly what you will do in the future?" Shang Ting said in a deep voice, with an unexpectedly serious expression.

"Grandpa Shang, I remember when I entered the officialdom, you once said to me an old saying, "I dare not forget my worries about the country, but things must be built." Whether I am a mayor, a county magistrate, a mayor, or even a governor, I will uphold this point. I don't expect to be a clean official, I just want to be a good official. When I leave the ruling place, I can leave something that makes them proud, and that's enough." Su Mu said in a solemn voice.

"Okay! It's enough for you to have Lu You's idea of ​​worrying about the country and the people." Shang Ting smiled and said, "It's not in vain that I'll cultivate you. Su Mu, as the head of a town, you will definitely continue to rise in the future. Here, I'll give you another word, listen carefully."

"Grandpa Shang, tell me!" Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"Don't be intentional, don't be sure, don't be firm, don't be me." Shang Ting said calmly: "Do you know where these eight words come from?"

"I know, it comes from the Analects of Confucius!" Su Mu nodded.

"Do you know what I mean?" Shang Ting smiled, not much surprised Su Mu was able to know these eight words.

"I understand!" Su Mu nodded. He has been learning these ancient poems and essays since he was a child, and of course he knew that this was a very classic sentence in "The Analects of Confucius".

If applied to the officialdom, Su Mu is warned to speak according to facts at any time and not to guess and draw conclusions out of thin air. As a leader, you must not be arbitrary or do whatever you can, do whatever you can when doing things, don’t be rigid and be flexible.

Of course, the most important point is to get along with the masses, not be self-righteous and think that you are an official, you can surpass others. This is wrong. You must be able to communicate with people around you, and do things with a mind that is tolerant of the world as an official.

"It's good that you can know this. You have to know that the people in China are the most simple. No one wants to cause trouble. If you can be safe and happy in this life, who would be willing to be displaced?" Shangting's words brought a sense of sadness.

"Grandpa Shang, I know how to do it. I have my bottom line of being an official!" Su Mu said in a deep voice: "Here I promise you that you will definitely be a good official, a good official who deserves his conscience, and a good official who is worthy of heaven and earth."

"Well, it's worth stating this! Let's stop playing chess. I'll tell you that you have prepared some good wine and good food. Go and have a couple of drinks with my grandfather." Shang Ting laughed.

"Okay!" Su Mu said with a smile.

The lunch was so refreshing. Shang Ting's identity was transcendent in Suzhuang. He was able to come to his house to drink and eat. Su Zhen thought that he had burned Gao Xiang at home. He was honest and served the cup in addition to serving the cup, but even so he could not drink Shang Ting down.

In fact, even Su Mu didn't know how deep Shang Ting's alcohol capacity was. He had been cultivated by Shang Ting intentionally or unintentionally since he was a child. He dared to pat his chest and say that ordinary people would never drink him. But if Su Mu was asked to face Shang Ting, he could only describe it as unfathomable.

Shang Ting went back after lunch, but Su Mu stayed at home to talk to his parents. When he told the news that he had become the mayor, Su Laoshi and Ye Cuilan were stunned and were full of excitement. Especially Ye Cuilan wanted to burn incense and worship their ancestors on the spot, so that the ancestors of the Su family knew that Su Mu, the descendant of the Su family, had a future.

Su Mu did not dissuade him, knowing that this was something Ye Cuilan was used to doing. No matter whether it was a good or a bad thing, Ye Cuilan would talk to the ancestors of the Su family.

Just as Su Mu got up and thought of lighting a cigarette for Su Laoshi, his cell phone suddenly rang.
