A no-tooth line.

Knock knock!

"General manager, Liu Gongzi is here."

"Invite him in."

I saw a secretary push open the door, and Liu Xin was able to enter the office.

"You're here!"

Guo Dan stood up, waved his hand, motioned to the secretary to close the door, then walked to the sofa on the side, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Sit down." I'm coming to you today to discuss how to oversee match-fixing. ”

Liu Xinmou kept a certain distance from Guo Dan and squinted at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Liu Xinmou sighed twice: "Guo Dan, I really didn't expect you to be so ruthless?" ”

Guo Dan was stunned, "You... What are you talking about? ”

Liu Xinmou snorted: "Don't pretend, two bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, a member of the Ministry of Engineering, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and a Tongzhou senator, don't say you don't know." ”

"I really don't know what you're talking about, I don't know what Tongzhou Senator is." Guo Dan wondered.

Liu Xinmou looked at Guo Dan and said, "You really don't know? ”

Guo Danzhi shook his head and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Could it be Your Majesty......?" Liu Xinmou sat down in a hurry, and said with a gossip on his face: "Just last night, Dongchang suddenly acted and arrested all the people I just said. ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Why is this?" ”

"Why else, it's not because of Marseille." Liu Xinmou snorted: "Your Majesty personally issued an order, saying that those people formed a party for personal gain, spread rumors, and undermined the stability of the Beijing Division, two of them were raided, assigned to the army, and three were dismissed. ”

"It can't be."

Guo Dan was shocked: "I told Your Majesty ....... ”

Liu Xinmou whispered: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Will... Deterrence. ”

Guo Dan was really a little confused: "I expressed it very clearly, how could it be like this." ”

Liu Xinmou shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this, but now the government and the opposition are shaking." ”

Guo Dan pondered, could it be the meaning of the iron rooster? Maybe it really is, it looks like the iron rooster is really going crazy.

At this moment, I heard the secretary outside the door say: "General manager, the housekeeper of the Xiangcheng uncle's family asks to see you." ”

Uncle Xiangcheng? Guo Dan frowned, rubbed his forehead, and said depressedly: "I must be here to find trouble, this matter is really getting bigger and bigger." ”

A quarter of an hour later.

"Steward Li, you... What do you mean? ”

Guo Dan looked at the two large boxes of silver, raised his head again, and looked at Steward Li in confusion.

Steward Li sneered: "Captain Guo, this is my master who asked me to send it, a total of 15,000 taels, you order." ”

Guo Dan still didn't come back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand." ”

What to pack. Steward Li was secretly annoyed, but said: "That's the case, this fifteen thousand taels, 10,000 taels was given to my eldest son by Jiang Feng, and my lord asked me to return it to Marseille, and the other 5,000 taels is my lord who knows that this matter has caused you a lot of trouble, so I apologize, and then my lord will personally visit him." ”

"It's ......."

Guo Dan and Liu Xin looked at each other.

Oh, my God!

Xiangchengbo took the initiative to apologize to Guo Dan and took out so much money, which is really incredible!

Because the only thing in this world that is more important than money is life!

Xiangcheng Bo Li Chenggong learned that Dongchang was dispatched and arrested so many officials, and Zhang Whale personally came to the door that night to hint to him, if you don't give money, what your son did is illegal, if you give it, it is not illegal, Li Chenggong was frightened, and he asked people to prepare silver overnight and send it here early in the morning.

....．

This Guo Dan's original intention was to create public opinion, deter those people, and let them stop from arching the fire.

It's a deterrent, not a real knife.

He doesn't know how to use a knife, he's just a businessman.

But Wanli can't bear this breath, you can humiliate me, you can scold me, but you can't touch my cheese, without cheese, how can I raise this fat body?

You must know that Wanli racked his brains for Guo Dan's commission at the beginning, and this time he paid 50,000 taels in one go, and he also lost a lot of money in the Tianjin Wei fire, but he accounted for seventy percent, and it was the major shareholder.

You want my life, and I will first ask for your life.

He dispatched Dongchang, saying that this was a personal grudge, because Dongchang did not need to go through the procedure to arrest people, just go directly to the door to arrest, if it was really corrupt and bent the law, and it did not involve his personal interests, he would still hand it over to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple.

Suddenly, there was a rumor inside and outside the capital.

Because no one thought that the matter would be so big, they were even still thinking about it, this matter could not be mixed up with Guo Dan so easily, they had to find a way to get it again, but they didn't know that this had not been discussed properly, and Wanli took the first shot.

In front of the Emperor's Gate, I saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military kneeling on the ground, including all the cabinet ministers, unanimously demanding that Wanli withdraw his order.

You don't have any rules and regulations, the crime is just a sentence, you take a piece of evidence, how can you convince the public without evidence, and everyone is also very angry.

"The emperor has arrived."

I saw Li Gui come to the front of the steps, holding the dust whisk in his hand, and shouted loudly.

Then I saw Wanli striding forward, and he walked over with a domineering face, and he really didn't know who was wronged.

He swept his eyes and said hatefully, "I have only come here to tell you that no matter how long you kneel, I will never withdraw my fate." ”

"Your Majesty."

Wang Jiaping straightened up and asked Wanli, "The minister dares to ask, what crime have they committed?" ”

Wanli said angrily: "What did they do, don't the Qing family know?" ”

Wang Jiaping hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty has any evidence." ”

Wanli crossed his hands on his hips and shouted angrily: "No! ”

Wang Jiaping was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wanli blankly.

The rest of the ministers also raised their heads and looked at Wanli in astonishment.

Even if you don't have evidence, don't say it, how do you let us down.

Wanli really has no evidence, those people just use public opinion to promote, and there is no Weibo record in ancient times, so it is difficult to find evidence.

That's why, no one thought things would make such a big fuss.

Although Wanli can make Dongchang bend into a move, but he didn't do it this time, brother just has no evidence, what do you want.

Shen Shixing couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said: "Your Majesty, this country has national laws, and families have family rules, since there is no evidence, how can Your Majesty order the arrest of people, if the officials below follow suit, the country will be in chaos." ”

Wanli snorted: "Although I have no evidence, but the ins and outs of this matter, I believe you all know very well in your hearts, all along, there have been many officials in the court who have tried their best to make things difficult for Guo Dan, the reason is because Guo Dan is a businessman, I can see it in my eyes, I just take care of your face, I just didn't say it."

If Guo Dan didn't manage Weihui Mansion well, then I would have nothing to say, and now Guo Dan is governing Weihui Mansion in an orderly manner, but some people still refuse to let go of Guo Dan, because Guo Dan makes them even more incompetent, they regard Guo Dan as a thorn in the eye and a nail in the flesh.

I'm really fed up, Guo Dan is doing my best to do things for me, but you are embarrassing her everywhere, telling you that I won't endure it anymore, you don't follow the rules, you play tricks below, then I can do it, this matter is not over, I have to continue to investigate, you kneel first, no one is allowed to get up without my order, so I have to go to you when I arrive. ”

As he spoke, he waved the sleeves of his robe and left in a rage.

Many ministers immediately trembled, daring us to kneel here, it is self-defeating!

Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping and others couldn't help but close their eyes and sigh.

Of course, they knew in their hearts that although they couldn't do this, it was really understandable that Wanli was mad.

Although Guo Dan is doing things for Wanli, he has done many things that are beneficial to the country, and you are always targeting Guo Dan, which is really unreasonable.

They are also a little unbearable, but as ministers, they are not very good at falling out with everyone for the sake of a businessman.

......

"Your Majesty is angry, don't be angry with yourself, it's not worth it."

Li Gui chased Wanli and said distressedly.

"I'm already angry."

Wanli was blown up, and suddenly turned around, looked at Zhang Whale and said, "How much did you copy yesterday?" ”

It's not vague, just ask.

Zhang Whale said: "Back to Your Majesty, a total of 8,642 taels were copied. ”

"Less than 10,000 taels?" Wanli stopped suddenly.

Li Gui didn't stop the car, walked over directly, quickly turned around, bowed slightly, and stood beside Wanli.

Zhang Whale said: "Your Majesty, this money is a lot for two five-grade officials. ”

He wasn't even too embarrassed to take a little out of it, because there were too few.

"Then again... Grab a few more. Wanli waved his hand.

He didn't sleep well last night, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, why did I pay these 50,000 taels.

Zhang Jing hurriedly said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to calm his anger, Weichen thinks that this is enough to deter them, if they are arrested again, the relationship will be too stiff, and the celebrant and the cabinet will not end well." ”

Zhang Cheng also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that this person can't be arrested anymore." ”

Wanli stared at the two of them, the corners of his eyebrows jumping.

Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng were so frightened that they lowered their heads.

It's terrifying!

Wanli suddenly said: "Minister." ”

"Re-minister."

"I will be busy with government affairs later, you will go to Cining Palace for me, and ask the Queen Mother for peace."

"Wechen obeys."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They all know that Wanli is to let Zhang Cheng test the queen mother's meaning.

With the Queen Mother coming forward, it will be more stable.

After all, when it comes to silver, Wanli will become very irritable and unreasonable at all.

Cining Palace.

"All kneeling?"

Empress Dowager Li slowly put down the teacup.

Zhang Cheng replied respectfully: "They are all kneeling." ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "Since they like to kneel, let them kneel for a while." That Guo Dan worked hard for the court and the people in Weihui Mansion, and they didn't help, but they were still making trouble behind, and it was time to teach them a little lesson. ”

Zhang Cheng bowed and said, "The Queen Mother Shengming." ”

In this matter, Empress Dowager Li is also selfish, Guo Dan is helping her baby son, you are making trouble at this time, you must give some lessons.

Empress Dowager Li said: "But as a minister, you should also persuade Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you should govern the country with benevolence, and it is too heavy to fill the army and distribute it, I think it is enough to dismiss them, confiscate their family property, and let them go home." ”

This Zhizi Mo Ruomu, she knew that Wanli was distressed about money, this confiscated family property, dismissed, not only got money, but also deterred the ministers, this purpose was basically achieved, and then recycled a little, to the cabinet a step down.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the cabinet to appease the ministers.

Zhang Cheng said: "The queen mother has taught her a lesson, and the minister knows what to do." ”
