Chapter 923: The Way to Take Bribes
To give gifts and bribes to Yan Shifan, there is definitely no need for King Yu to go in person, and the subordinate officials of King Yu's Mansion can go, but in order to show that King Yu attaches great importance to Yan Shifan, the status of the subordinate officials who go to give gifts cannot be low. In this way, the scope of subordinate officials suitable for the task of giving gifts and bribes is fixed among Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan, and Zhu Ping'an.
So who to let go?
When King Yu swept everyone around, he finally looked at Zhu Ping'an.
Since this idea was put forward by Zhu Ping'an, there is no one more suitable for this task than Zhu Ping'an.
Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help coughing, and said with a wry smile: "Ahem...... Your Royal Highness, last month I inspected Taicang and uncovered the theft of the Taicang treasury, and Yan Shifan, who was involved, was also fined 12,000 silver. Now, Yan Shifan doesn't know how much he hates me in his heart, so I'd better not go......"
In fact, Zhu Ping'an has such concerns on the one hand, of course, the most important thing is out of consideration for others, you can't be too greedy, you can make suggestions yourself, and the credit for the specific implementation should be given to others.
After Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, King Yu thought for a while, nodded slowly, then turned his gaze to Chen Yiqin, and arched his hand and said, "Master Chen, you should go this time." ”
"I am willing to serve Your Highness." Chen Yiqin got up happily, "But for the sake of insurance, it's better for Zihou to accompany me." ”
Uh, Master Chen, didn't I say it just now, Zhu Ping'an got up, ready to repeat what he just said.
"Zihou, I can understand your concerns, but don't you think that if you accompany me to give gifts and bribes to Yan Shifan, it will make Yan Shifan's sense of conquest stronger?" Chen Yiqin looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile, and used a move to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, blocking all Zhu Ping'an's excuses.
"Well, Zihou, you can work hard to accompany Master Chen on a trip." Hearing this, King Yu nodded slightly.
Uh, okay, King Yu has spoken, and Zhu Ping'an has no choice but to respond.
Because the Yuwang Mansion can't open the pot, the bribery and gift-giving are urgent, and the soldiers are divided into two ways, inquiring about the market, and raising silver and ......
Roughly at about ten o'clock in the morning, Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin rushed from Yuwang's Mansion to Yan's Mansion together.
The two of them carried 1,500 taels of silver tickets, which was given to Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan's market for receiving gifts is easier to inquire, and it is almost "clear real price" in the circle, according to the market from inquiring, almost 1300 taels is enough, but for the sake of insurance, I still made up the whole number of 1500 taels of silver.
Among the 1,500 taels of silver tickets, 1,000 taels were obtained by King Yu from Concubine Du Kang in the harem, 150 taels of silver were lent to King Yu by Feng Bao after hearing about them, and the remaining 350 taels of silver were made up by Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan and Zhu Ping'an.
Chen Yiqin, Gao Gong and Yin Shidan all made up 100 taels each, and Zhu Ping'an scraped together 50 taels of silver.
Although Zhu Ping'an made up the least, he was most moved by King Yu, because King Yu knew that Zhu Ping'an had just been fined 160 taels of silver by his father not long ago, and further along, Zhu Ping'an was also fined for a year...... Zhu Ping'an was poor and had to go to open a Zhu Ji fast food restaurant to sell pigs and go into the water, the 50 taels of silver, I am afraid that Zhu Ping'an had taken out all the money Zhu Ji earned and all the money he had in his family.
Yuwang's Mansion is not close to Yan's Mansion, and it is too time-consuming to walk and take a sedan chair, so Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin rode directly to Yan's Mansion.
Chen Yiqin was concerned about the gift of King Yu, and on the way to Yanfu, he worked hard all the way.
Killing Matt The dark horse saw the treatment of the front horse, probably because he was afraid of being whipped, but today he was particularly angry, and he didn't use Zhu Ping'an to raise the whip, so he ran wildly, and in a few breaths he overtook the front horse and ran to the front.
About two minutes or so, Zhu Ping'an and the others came to a street in front of Yan's mansion. Along this street, all the way forward, is the Yan Mansion.
After arriving at this street, Zhu Ping'an slowed down his horse, and did not walk along this street, but turned his horse's head and went to another alley.
"Hey, Zihou, it's a mistake, Yan Mansion is in front, not over there."
Seeing this, Chen Yiqin couldn't help but stop Zhu Ping'an.
"Hehe, it's not wrong, Master Chen just come with me."
Zhu Ping'an restrained Matt's dark horse, turned around and beckoned to Chen Yiqin, and said with a mysterious smile.
"Zihou, I've been to Yanfu a few times, just go along this street, you're not in the right direction." Chen Yiqin shook his head, looked at Zhu Ping'an and said, "We still focus on big things, and when we finish the important things, it's not too late to do other things." ”
"Lord Chen, are you going to hand over the money directly to Yan Shifan like this?"
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile when he heard this, turned the horse's head, rode the horse to Chen Yiqin's side, and asked with a smile.
"Well, isn't that all bribery?"
Chen Yiqin nodded and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a strange expression.
Seeing Chen Yiqin's reaction, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think of the situation when he had visited Yan Song and was ridiculed and reminded by the fat man with a fat head and big ears behind him.
"Lord Chen, if you give a gift like this, Yan Shifan will not accept it." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Huh?" Chen Yiqin didn't know why.
"This way of giving gifts is easy to leave handles and hidden dangers, and a smart person like Yan Shifan will not accept it." Zhu Ping'an glanced around, and then explained to Chen Yiqin in a whisper, "Go forward, there is an alley in front, and there is a study in the alley, called 'Crane Year Study', which was opened by Yan Nian, the big housekeeper of Yan Mansion, Yan Nian', the word 'Crane Year', the Crane Year Study specializes in selling fans, and each fan is not marked with a price, as much bribe as you want, you can buy a fan as much as you want, and the guys in the study will indicate the price you paid after your name post, and transfer it to Yan Mansion through the back door." When the time comes, this fan will be the pass of the Yan Mansion, and the door of the Yan Mansion will give priority to those who hold the Fan of the Year of the Crane to enter the house. ”
"Uh...... This Yan Shifan is really a ghost, and he can actually come up with this way to accept bribes. When Chen Yiqin heard this, he quickly figured out the doorway and deep meaning, and couldn't help but be impressed by Yan Shifan's way of accepting bribes.
Yan Shifan's bribery is different in the study of the Year of the Crane, which normalizes the appearance of bribery and bribery through fan trading.
As for the fan price?!
This is something you want me to do, and there are calligraphy and paintings on the fan, in a sense, calligraphy and painting are priceless, as long as you like it, how much money is not too much.
Take a step back and say, even if there is any problem, this study in the Year of the Crane was also opened by him in Yan Nian, what does it have to do with me Yan Shifan?!
"Yan Shifan, this little thief is really worthy of the name of 'Jiajing's No. 1 Ghost Talent', today I am fortunate to have Zihou with him, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the door of Yan's Mansion, even if I enter, I will not be able to do this errand." Chen Yiqin couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord Chen's words are serious, these are nothing, I don't say it, someone in front of the Yan Mansion will also tell Lord Chen."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head modestly.
"Zihou, don't be modest."
Chen Yiqin smiled slightly, and then said, "Then let's go and see the Year of the Crane study." ”
After speaking, the two turned their horses' heads and headed towards the study of the Year of the Crane.
