Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 18 Human Calculation
Kong Jia and Zhu Shu pointed at Luo Youdu and scolded him. They were angry in their hearts but dared not say anything else.
Get out, how could you possibly get out?
I have worked hard to get to where I am today, so how can I bear to give it up?
Besides, it’s not easy to leave.
The current emperor is a wise ruler, but he is also a killer.
Officials who make mistakes are never shown leniency. If they really quit their job because they don't want to handle the case, they might end up losing their heads.
Looking at the powerful Luo Youdu, Kong Jia and Zhu Shu had no choice but to take the files from the desk and left in despair.
Watching Kong Jia and Zhu Shu leave, Luo Youdu smiled calmly.
In fact, he didn't know that Kong Jia and Zhu Shu had already contacted his old colleagues and subordinates to target him and undermine him.
Luo Youdu is not so wise as to be able to predict the future.
But as a business elite, he has a certain understanding of human nature and human heart.
He went to see Zhang Yue and Lu Bin off respectively, with completely opposite purposes.
Seeing Zhang Yue off was to receive Zhang Yue's political legacy, while seeing Lu Bin off was to confirm which people should be kicked out and which people can be used.
In Luo Youdu's heart, Zhang Yue's old subordinates can be trusted, but Lu Bin's old subordinates cannot be trusted at all.
Why?
Because Luo Youdu had no interest in anything with Zhang Yue's old subordinates.
The enemy of Zhang Yue's former subordinates was Yin Yide, who parachuted into the Kaifeng Prefecture and threatened the interests of Zhang Yue's former subordinates.
Regardless of whether Yin Yide is a villain or not, no one likes to have an extra boss over their head for no reason.
Therefore, Zhang Yue's former subordinates hoped for the best for Luo Youdu. They needed someone who could compete with Yin Yide. In addition, if Luo Youdu was promoted, he would become the second in command of Kaifeng Prefecture. Then they could seize the opportunity and rise to prominence. Even if it was difficult to be promoted in the short term, they could still be protected. They could even transfer directly to Luo Youdu's Law Department when suppressing Yin Yide, leaving themselves a way out.
It’s different for Lu Bin’s old subordinates. They have followed Lu Bin for so many years. Who wouldn’t want to climb up with him?
As a result, Lu Bin left, and Luo Youdu, who appeared out of nowhere, picked the peaches.
Who can stand this?
What's more, Luo Youdu was just a minor official in the Ministry of Law before, and was once below them.
Luo Youdu knew very well the dangers of subordinates secretly disobeying orders when government orders were not communicated. Therefore, he had to start a fire, and he had to do it accurately and vigorously.
When seeing Lu Bin off, Luo Youdu discovered that the people who had the best relationship with Lu Bin and who he trusted the most were Kong Jia and Zhu Shu.
Lu Bin trained them as his successors, and their interests were the most entangled.
It's only natural to take action against them.
It is understandable that they would join forces with others to undermine Luo Youdu.
If Luo Youdu took over Zhang Yue's government, his attitude would be the opposite.
Now Yin Ming, who is the most attentive to him, is the one he is angry with.
Luo Youdu's action was swift, accurate and ruthless. They had just formulated a plan yesterday, and the next day the two leaders were driven out of Kaifeng Prefecture directly to look for vague evidence and deal with old cases.
This immediately made the members of the anti-Luo Youdu alliance that the two had just formed unable to sit still.
Less than half an hour after Kong Jia and Zhu Shu left, some people began to surrender to Luo Youdu and handed in letters of allegiance, revealing every word of the conspiracy led by Kong Jia and Zhu Shu yesterday.
Luo Youdu was naturally not surprised by this. It was the most normal thing to compete for each other's interests.
Luo Youdu naturally accepted those who surrendered generously.
The most taboo thing in this game is to kill everyone, which will not only trigger fierce resistance, but also affect the work of Kaifeng Prefecture.
If it affects the work of Kaifeng Prefecture, it would be considered as dereliction of duty for him as the Legal Affairs Officer.
The loss outweighs the gain.
Once there is a first, there will be a second. The rest of the anti-Luo Youdu alliance also saw the truth and surrendered one after another.
The anti-Luo Youdu alliance lasted less than a day before it vanished.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of seeing Zhang Yue and Lu Bin off, Luo Youdu secured the position of Lieutenant General of Kaifeng Prefecture in less than half a month.
Everyone in the Ministry of Justice knew how powerful Luo Youdu was, and they all obeyed his appointments and arrangements.
The efficiency of the Legal Department has increased dramatically.
In addition, Luo Youdu worked hard, did not care about fame, handled cases impartially and enforced the law. In less than a month, he gained considerable reputation.
Everyone in Kaifeng knew that a good official who could judge right from wrong had emerged in Kaifeng Prefecture.
As for Yin Yide, who was promoted to the position of Kaifeng Prefecture Minister at the same time as him, he was still struggling to deal with the lip service and disobedience of Lu Bin's former subordinates. Not only did he fail to keep his position, but he was even being sidelined.
On this day, Luo Youdu was reading military books in the office as usual. This time he was reading "Sima Fa". He found that after reading these military books, he didn't know whether he had learned the ability to fight a war, but he had a certain understanding of war, which was a good start.
“Boom boom boom!”
The drum for reporting the incident sounded rapidly.
Luo Youdu put down the military book in his hand and prepared to sit in court.
At first Luo Youdu was still very excited, as this was the lobby of Kaifeng Prefecture. He had seen many times on TV the majestic scenes of Mr. Bao leading Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao and Ma Han to court. Then, relying on his own talents, he solved one major case after another and earned the reputation of a clear judge.
It turns out that the reason why television is television is that it only exists on television.
There are not so many strange and bizarre cases in this world; they are just trivial matters.
There were cases like Zhang San's pigs hitting Li Si's vegetable garden, Wang Wu's dog biting Zhao Liu's chicken to death, and drunkards getting into fights and smashing things.
Luo Youdu discovered that he was not the "Judge Luo" who tried cases but a peacemaker. After pacifying the two people who reported the case to the police, his mission as a legal officer was accomplished.
Even so, it received quite a lot of praise, which made Luo Youdu not know whether to laugh or cry.
Hearing someone reporting a case, Luo Youdu appeared in the court as if he was familiar with the situation.
"Go to court!"
The gavel struck, but there was no majestic shout.
The two suspects were brought to court.
A sixty-year-old man was crying loudly and kept shouting "My cow, my cow".
The other person was a burly fat man, six feet tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. Every time he took a step forward, the flesh on his body would shake three times. He had a face full of black beard, like a fierce Zhang Fei. At this moment, he was looking at the old man helplessly.
In this era, the trial did not clearly distinguish between the defendant and the plaintiff.
No one knows who is the defendant and who is the plaintiff.
Luo Youdu asked directly: "Who reported the case? Tell me what happened first?"
The sixty-year-old man sobbed and said, "I was the one who reported it to the authorities. Master, he, he killed my cow. That was the cow my son exchanged his life for, and he killed it with one punch, wow..."
He cried even louder as he spoke.
Luo Youdu cried out secretly, killing a cow with one punch? What a fierce Zhang Fei.
