Chapter 55: The plan succeeded
Wei Qing still didn't take it lightly, no matter what Feng Yu said, he shook his head to show that he didn't know.
"Master Wei, I won't tell you, in fact, the two of us are relatives of the bureaucrats in the DPRK and China." Xiao Yan said suddenly, with a serious expression.
"A relative of a bureaucrat?" Wei Qing looked at him with some disbelief and said, "I don't know which bureaucrat it is, and who is his name?" ”
"Master Wei, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to mention names in this kind of thing, for the sake of prudence, I hope Master Wei will forgive me."
The reason why Xiao Yan said this was because he was afraid that Wei Qing would verify it afterwards, so that they would be exposed.
Seeing Wei Qing looking at himself, Xiao Yan continued: "Master Wei, in fact, we were also instructed by others, and then traveled a long distance to find this place. ”
"The two of us have wanted to grow up to be officials since we were children, but I can't read books, but fortunately, I have money at home, so I can only buy and become officials."
Wei Qing looked at Xiao Yan, and then at Feng Yu, who was dressed in men's clothes, and was entangled for a long time, then looked at them and asked, "Do you really want to buy it, official position?" ”
Xiao Yan smiled heartily and said, "Master Wei, what you said is of course true, otherwise what would we be doing here?" ”
Seeing Wei Qing's hesitation, Feng Yu hurriedly said: "As long as you can make us officials, it doesn't matter how much money you have." ”
Although Wei Qing was a little moved, after all, when it came to official positions, he didn't dare to assert himself, so he could only say: "Wait a little longer, and contact you after I have asked my family." ”
After saying that, Wei Qing got up and left, not giving Fengyu and Xiao Yan the meaning to continue talking.
"Hey, wait." Feng Yu wanted to persuade a few more words, but as soon as she stood up and didn't walk out, Xiao Yan stopped her.
"No need to chase."
Seeing that Wei Qing had already gone downstairs, Feng Yu had no choice but to walk back and sit down, "This Wei Qing is really rigorous, no wonder they have been secretly buying and selling official positions for so long, and there is no news in the capital." ”
"In fact, this kind of thing may happen not only in Jiangnan, but also in other places." Xiao Yan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Feng Yu, saying, "Otherwise, it's just this Sun Jianye, even if he can cover the sky with one hand, it is impossible that no news can be passed out." ”
"It is a common thing for officials to protect each other in the DPRK."
Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Feng Yu's face became a little ugly, and at the same time she was a little worried.
"Do you think Sun Jianye will agree to sell his official position to us? Could there be any problems in the middle? ”
"Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes." Xiao Yan smiled and comforted, "With Sun Jianye's arrogant and reckless character, he won't think so much." ”
When Feng Yu heard Xiao Yan's words, she also felt that there was some truth, so she was a little relieved.
Sure enough, as Xiao Yan said, when Wei Qing told Sun Jianye about this, Sun Jianye really didn't take it to heart.
Sun Jianye wiped the jade Buddha on the table, and after listening to Wei Qing's narration, he said with a nonchalant face: "Since they want to buy it, as long as the price is right, they will sell it to them." ”
"But my lord, buy, these two people in official positions are outsiders, and I'm worried about ......" Wei Qing said a little worried, he was really a little unsteady in his heart.
"What is there to bear, heart." Sun Jianye threw away the handkerchief in his hand, turned to face him and said, "Didn't they already say that they were relatives of the bureaucrats?" You can look it up. ”
"What's more, when we do business, we can't just sweep the snow in front of the door, sometimes we still have to take care of other places."
In this way, there will be a good way to make money in the future, so that we can support each other. Don't you say? ”
"What you say makes sense." Wei Qing nodded in agreement, and said cautiously: "According to the meaning of the lord, this official position ......"
"You can handle it yourself." Sun Jianye waved his hand and said, "Anyway, you are operating on the surface when buying and selling official positions, you just need to remember and don't let me have a loss." ”
"Yes, I'll do it."
Although Sun Jianye didn't take this seriously, Wei Qing still muttered a little in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still refused to sell his official position to Feng Yu and Xiao Yan.
Everything is careful, this is Wei Qing's experience gained for many years.
"What?! Wei Qing refused to sell us his official position? ”
Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan, who had just returned from meeting Wei Qing, in surprise, and asked, "Did he say why?" As he spoke, he waved his hand irritably, "Forget it, it's useless to talk so much now." ”
Seeing that Fengyu was anxious and impetuous, Xiao Yan hurriedly comforted: "Don't be angry, princess, things still have a turn for the better, you take a sip of tea first to calm down." ”
Looking at the teacup placed in front of her, Feng Yu suddenly proposed, "Otherwise, let's arrest Wei Qing directly." Interrogate him, maybe he'll confess? ”
"No." Xiao Yan shook his head without hesitation, looked at Feng Yu and said: "This Wei Qing is very scheming, and his mind is very smart, if we arrest him, even if it is for himself, he will not admit it." ”
"What then?" Feng Yu frowned and sighed, and said with a depressed face: "We came to find him in person, he acted so cautiously, if he sold his official position to someone else, he would definitely be more careful, then wouldn't we be even more unable to find clues." ”
"Don't worry, princess, I have already sent someone to investigate Wei Qing, and it is estimated that there will be news in a short time."
Sure enough, in less than half a day, his subordinates came to report that Wei Qing's wife had given birth prematurely and needed money to see a doctor.
After learning of this, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan hurriedly changed their appearances, and then went to Wei Qing's house.
Wei Qing didn't expect his wife to give birth prematurely, and now his wife and children both need money to see a doctor, but he is shy in his pocket.
Just as Wei Qing was sitting in the courtyard frowning, the subordinate suddenly said that a guest was visiting, and he was just about to ask the subordinate to drive the person away, when a voice came from the side.
"Master Wei, what's wrong?"
"Why are you here?" Wei Qing looked at Feng Yu and Xiao Yan suspiciously, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Feng Yu pretended not to know anything and walked up to him and said, "Master Wei, don't be nervous, we are here today to discuss the matter of official positions with Master Wei." ”
"I've already told him that there is a candidate for this official position." Wei Qing looked at Xiao Yandao, his tone a little weak.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of a child crying in the house, and Feng Yu pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, does Master Wei have a child?" Did we wake him up? ”
Hearing Feng Yu mention the child, Wei Qing let out a long sigh, and Xiao Yan took the opportunity to ask him if something had happened at home.
This Wei Qing also encountered a bad thing, but there was no one to sue, at this time, Xiao Yan asked, and told them about his wife's premature birth.
"Master Wei, I sympathize with your experience." Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, then looked at him and paused, and said, "It's better to do this, Master Wei will sell me the official position, so that you will have the money to treat Mrs. Zun and the child." ”
Master Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, but immediately dimmed again, although he wanted to agree, but he still felt a little unreliable.
Feng Yu saw that Master Wei was shaken, so she pouted: "Master Wei, what are you still thinking about now?" Who buys it is not to buy it. ”
"Otherwise, the two of us will spend a lot of money to buy this official position, so that it will not only fulfill the dream of the two of us to be officials, but also solve your urgent needs, why not."
The children in the house kept crying, and the servants also came out from time to time to report on his wife's condition, and Wei Qing really had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, then I'll sell these two official positions to the two of you."
In order to convince Wei Qing, Xiao Yan took out the silver ticket and gave it to him on the spot, "I will pay you half of the money first, you take it to Mrs. Zun and the child to see a doctor, and the remaining half will be given to you when I become an official." ”
Wei Qing hurriedly took the silver ticket, and then asked his subordinates to ask for a doctor, Xiao Yan saw that he had accepted the silver ticket, so he waited for the opportunity to ask for the details of the official position.
The money was also collected, and the matter was half confirmed, Wei Qing's heart gradually became more steady, and he didn't realize that Xiao Yan was tricking him, so he revealed a little bit about buying and selling official positions.
After hearing Wei Qing's explanation, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan both knew in their hearts, and they were sure of the conviction for what they had done.
"Seeing that Master Wei is so sincere, I might as well tell you something."
Wei Qing looked at Feng Yu and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”
"Actually, we didn't really buy it, official."
Stunned for a moment, Wei Qing looked at Fengyu with some fear, and stammered, "That'...... So who are you? ”
The corners of Feng Yu's mouth hooked, she raised her hand to tear off the mask on her face, looked at him and said in a cold tone: "Wei Qing, don't admit guilt!" ”
Seeing that the person in front of him was Feng Yu, Wei Qing was so frightened that he fell off the stool on the spot, he turned his head to look to the side, Xiao Yan also tore off his mask and looked at him gloomily.
"The princess spares her life, the little one, the little one is also forced to be helpless."
Feng Yu looked at Wei Qing, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, and sneered: "As long as you explain all the bad things you and Sun Jianye have done, this princess can consider sparing you a dog's life." ”
Seeing Wei Qing hesitating and not speaking, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Be lenient in confession." What's more, now that it's pointless for you to hide it anymore, it's better to be honest, and there is still hope to live. ”
"Say, all the little ones say."
Now that his life is important, Wei Qing can't care so much, he looked up at Feng Yu and Xiao Yan and said: "In order to avoid being manipulated and bought in the future, the official will be recorded in detail by the adults who bought and bought the official." ”
Feng Yu frowned and asked, "Where is the ledger?" ”
"It's in the adult's study."
Feng Yu got up and walked in front of him, looked down at him, and said with a cold look in her eyes: "Really? ”
"What the little one said is true, and he will never dare to deceive the princess and the general." Wei Qing nodded heavily, the expression on his face looked quite sincere.
Fengyu glanced at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan understood, and said loudly: "Someone is coming." ”
Suddenly, a person came out of the darkness, walked to Xiao Yan and knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said, "General." ”
"Keep this man in guard, and let him not run away, nor let him die."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Then Feng Yu and Xiao Yan left Wei Qing's house and rushed to the governor's mansion, they wanted to find the account book as soon as possible and take Sun Jianye down for questioning.
