The eyes of the officials of the Dali Temple who received the compensation were immediately attracted by the large jade pendant, he stood up stiffly, and walked a few steps closer to them on the silver lacquer tray, which was so green that it was crystal clear and shiny, and it was really a rare flawless jade; He carefully picked up one of them with both hands, and felt a heavy hand, and he thought to himself: If this is hung on his waist, he will not have extra face, and he feels that his value has increased.

"Hmm." Fang Dali Siqing looked displeased, and stopped the insatiable subordinate officials, this so-called relative of him, "I said uncle, Lord Zhang has already compensated you for 1,000 taels of silver, you should be content, 'a gentleman does not take the love of others', how can you see any good things from others, you have to get something from others, do you still think that Lord Zhang compensates you with two taels of silver?" ”

Zhang Jieyuan was the first to reply, excusing the officials of Dali Temple who had received compensation, "Lord Fang, you misunderstood, I am a little careful, as long as everyone can forgive our Zhang Mansion for this mistake, I will be satisfied, and please accept my sincerity." ”

"Things are good things, but we can't accept them, wouldn't that be a bribe, you are a bribe, we are all criminals, don't dare to have such behavior, we can't do it." We must be honest and honest officials, share the worries of the emperor, and seek benefits for the people. "Fang Dali Siqing deliberately behaved in front of others, and he was as high-minded as he asked others.

In fact, Fang Dali Siqing also wants to make friends with Zhang Jieyuan, but he must only be one level lower than him, everyone is a minister in the same hall, and there are still many opportunities to deal with him in the future, and he has no intention of offending him. He understood that this was not his voluntary dedication, but he was forced to be helpless, and the people had already taken out a thousand taels of silver, and it was good to point it to the end, so why bother to make it difficult for others, even if he asked for a bribe, he couldn't extort it to his head.

What's more, there are so many pairs of eyes staring, Dali Temple openly solicits bribes from officials of other ministries, if this is known by the Inspectorate, it will be repaid.

"Brother-in-law, it was given to us by Lord Zhang himself, not from him." The officials of Dali Temple, who received compensation, liked this jade pendant very much, and the more things they could get, the better. A "brother-in-law" is called well, and his implication is that Fang Dali Siqing is related to him, and he can't be biased towards Zhang Jieyuan and think about the interests of outsiders.

"Lord Fang-" Zhang Jieyuan had no choice but to ask Fang Dali Temple for the greedy Dali Temple officials, although he was unwilling in his heart.

"Put it down immediately for Master Zhang. There is no your brother-in-law here, only your superiors, and we are on business. Fang Dali Siqing angrily reprimanded his subordinate officials who had already received 1,000 taels of silver as compensation.

"Yes." The officials who received the compensation had no choice but to put the unicorn jade pendant back into the silver lacquer tray in an upright manner.

The jade jade was finally saved, the look on Zhang Jieyuan's face was a lot more relaxed, and he flattered Fang Dali Siqing, "Lord Fang is really a good official who is honest and honest, I must learn from Fang Dada, and I will ask Lord Fang to teach me a lot in the future." ”

"It's easy to say, you and our Dali Temple will move around more in the future, that is, we have made a friend of yours." Fang Dali Siqing gave everyone a step down and made friends in officialdom.

The subordinates of the Zhang Mansion put a thousand taels of silver into a beautiful hand-held box. Zhang Jieyuan asked the officials of Dali Temple who received the 1,000 taels of silver, "May I ask if you will take it back to your house yourself after eating, or will someone from my house go with you now or when the time comes, and send it to your house?" ”

"Send it to my house now." Now that the subordinates of Zhangfu are sent over, they don't have to worry about being asked to share some hard-earned money to their colleagues in Dali Temple after leaving Zhangfu, and they are very good at small abacus.

If you get a thousand taels of silver, you should be satisfied. The officials of Dali Temple and Fang Dali Temple, who received compensation, are no longer held accountable, and the other officials of Dali Temple naturally have no objections, they have no stake in them, they just came to support the scene, scaring and scaring Zhang Jieyuan to make him submit.

"Yes. I'll send it to the house right away. Zhang Jieyuan instructed his subordinates.

The banquet was tense and orderly and quickly arranged, Zhang Jieyuan laughed with a spring breeze on his face, and ate and drank with the officials of Dali Temple, so happy.

A farce, and Dali Temple was resolved in this way, and Zhangfu's own people have not yet dealt with it.

When the officials of Dali Temple were sent away, Zhang Jieyuan's face immediately pulled down, and he showed the prestige of his parents, and he should be punished for his crimes, and he must be severely punished, "Go, call my wife over to me, and tell her to come over immediately, there must be no mistake." ”

Mrs. Zhang really lacked discipline and restraint on Zhang Mei, and repeatedly connived at it without a bottom line. Maybe she agreed to sell embroidery; Even if she didn't agree, she didn't object; If she doesn't know, she is not restrained, and her responsibility cannot be shirked.

Peng Lingkong was very angry when he saw Zhang Jieyuan, hoping that he could suppress his anger, and he was also willing to say a few good words for Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Mei, "My lord, Mrs. is a reasonable person, and she will definitely not allow the eldest lady to do this kind of thing, and the eldest lady also said that she did it herself, and the others did not know." "It is better for one person to be punished than for many to be punished, and Mrs. Zhang is indeed innocent.

"You're angry, don't be rash, ask carefully before you speak, and it's better not to go deeper and harsh on Madame. Madame has worked hard, since she had three other children, she still has to take care of the housework of this big family, and she is so busy all day that she can't take care of the eldest lady at all. "It's good to save some face for Mrs. Zhang, so as to maintain her status as the original wife in Zhang's mansion.

"Leaving Zhang Mei is her responsibility, her full responsibility." It is impossible for Zhang Jieyuan not to be angry with Mrs. Zhang.

What can be said and done, what cannot be said and done; What should be said, done, what should not be said, and what should be done, Peng Lingkong said it for Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Mei, and if he did it, he would do everything else, so he could only resign himself to fate. He is just a proprietor of Zhang Jieyuan, and it is okay to give suggestions and opinions on the premise of him, but it cannot influence his thoughts and actions.

Zhang Jieyuan pointed at Peng Lingkong, and his voice was fierce, "You go, find out how many embroideries Zhang Mei has sold, where they have been sold, all of them will be begged by my grandfather and grandmother to take them back, it doesn't matter if I spend a lot of money, as long as people can no longer hold us accountable." Remember, don't say that it was embroidered by our ghost girl, just say that this kind of embroidery is unlucky, and you are not allowed to tell others that you are from Zhangfu, and you think that I am embarrassed and not big enough. Forget about the stubbornness that refuses to give it to us for recycling, we have warned them that it is entirely their responsibility if anything happens in the future. (To be continued.) )
