was questioned and ridiculed in person, this is the first time since Liang Shicheng took charge of Ouchi, and the questioners are still from the Hou Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The old eunuch was furious, and his triangular eyes suddenly shone with cold light.

But seeing that Steward Zhou stepped on Zhang Yanei's neck for a long time, and the steel knife in his hand was not confiscated, still facing Zhang Yanei, the people of the Hou Mansion made it clear that they wanted to pinch the hostages to find out what the court's intentions were for the master's family, Liang Shicheng only gave Zhang Yanei's life for scruples, and cut off the roots of Zhang Bangchang's family, and Zhang Bangchang took revenge for the damage in the future, so he could only endure this breath.

He smiled again.

"Steward Zhou, what are you talking about?"

"The miscellaneous family and your marquis met in Weimo, how many years have you been friends?"

"At that time, your housekeeper Zhou was just a small follower in front of Gonglian, and he was very awake. The miscellaneous family has praised you to the public honestly. ”

But Steward Zhou was indifferent.

Liang Shicheng realized that this errand was difficult,

I hated to order the forbidden army to raze the Hou Mansion to the ground, but he smiled more and more warmly, showing the great traitor's extraordinary performance skills.

"That's it. That's it. ”

"The official family preaches the word of mouth. Seeing that you are so vigilant and distrustful of the court, and understanding your grievances and difficulties, the miscellaneous family exempted you from your usual etiquette on behalf of the official. Steward Zhou,"

He pointed at Zhang Yanei, "Let's look at it by another person." The miscellaneous family will tell you what it means for the official family to order the miscellaneous family to come here. ”

It's a good hand.

Steward Zhou responded, and the substitution continued to step on Zhang Yanei's neck to let this bastard scum continue to taste the uncomfortable consequences of doing evil, frightened, and had a private chat with Liang Shicheng.

The Hou Mansion undoubtedly understood the person and made his attitude clear, just waiting to listen to the emperor's handling of this matter to judge the court's intentions towards the Cangzhao family. In this way, it would be boring to play around the bush again, and Liang Shicheng was impatient to waste more time, so he said it directly.

"The official family was extremely angry when they learned of this, understood the grievances of the Hou Mansion, forgave your sins, and did not pursue responsibility. And punish the troublemakers. You let it go, and now you're in Kaifeng Prison again. Outside the door, the dead head of the house will not escape punishment either. ”

Steward Zhou didn't feel a happy feeling when he heard this, frowned, and said lightly: "That's not right." Not forgiveness. The thief needs to be beaten. Hou Fu was not guilty. This is a fatal issue of major rights and wrongs, and we must not confuse it. Otherwise, there will be trouble. In the future, there will be people who will make a big fuss about this matter today and harm my master. ”

He looked at Liang Shicheng and then at Zhang Yanei, and sneered unceremoniously: "These big men in the DPRK, who doesn't know that they are not capable of governing the country and the country, and they are not that enthusiastic, most of them are bale villains who are courageless, boneless, loyal, virtuous and shameless, and the capable heroes who are stronger than them are very capable, bold, and even more enthusiastic. ”

"Also, the Hou Mansion and my master are not wronged, but wronged."

"Why do lowly businessmen and these bastards who can only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble and harm the people of Tokyo dare to bully the Hou Mansion and openly rob them?"

"They're not like ordinary people who don't know much about big things. What's behind this? ”

"Is it that Zhang Bangchang and the others are planning some conspiracy to make their son aware that they dare to bully the Hou Mansion so unscrupulously?"

"Why are there a lot of rewards for other border troops, and the Qingzhou army has the greatest credit for protecting the border this time, but there is no one eldest son for the war merit reward and death pension? Military salaries are also dragging their feet? ”

"The country is in trouble, and the court has no money?"

"Hehe, don't talk about this."

"Gao Taiwei and others have made great contributions to the expedition, and the ships and vehicles that pull money and grain have come to the capital for several months, whether the imperial court has money or not, which one of the people in the capital is not clear?"

"Saying that someone should take the lead in sacrificing contributions to the country's difficulties, why are other officials unwilling to sacrifice any interests, but instead have a lot of money and food, but as long as my eldest son sacrifices? What is the reason why the greatest contribution to the country should be abused? When my master is a bully, I have been pressing the pit step by step in the past few years, is the pit addicted? ”

"If you can't be crowned a Longtu Pavilion University scholar, you can get the credit?"

"Hehe, the capital is full of people, and there are as many universities as dogs."

"Those who only brag and drink flowers and wine and talk about misleading the country are also a bunch of scholars. What about the Longtuge University Fellow? Isn't it an empty number that is regarded as a mustard? ”

Pointing at Zhang Yanei, "Otherwise, how dare these Yanei come to the door casually?" ”

"Sitting in the capital and enjoying yourself, the young man who has no contribution to the country can be this scholar and that scholar, my master sacrificed his life and forgot to protect the border, and now he has it, does the court like to make jokes? Do you think my master is so foolish, or does he see my eldest son as a rough and ignorant martial artist, and deliberately play so cheaply? ”

"Our eldest son is the best talent, the leader among the scholars, and he is a good hand in governing the country and the country. Those people dare to despise our sons? ”

"The university is worthless in the eyes of the rich and powerful in Tokyo, and if you get the border pass, you can take the credit of the whole army to the death? Can it be eaten as food or can it be spent as money? ”

"A bachelor's degree is an honor? Is it political treatment? ”

"Hehe, you have to eat and live at the border gate, you have to raise your strength and be ready to fight desperately at any time, and you don't need empty and useless things. Only when they are full of food can the officials who are able to enjoy the capital have leisure and ambition, use the name of the university scholar who comes from white to add prestige, play domineering, raise qualifications and mix the future, and have more face when they gather and drink flowers and wine. The border pass only recognizes strength and merit. Empty is useless. “

"It is better to enjoy the border and sacrifice the border to do practical things, and even to bring disaster to the country and the people, and to murder the heroes behind their backs, this is how the imperial court governs the country and treats the border passes? The eldest prince is not uncommon with the title of Dragon Pavilion. It was not glory, but shame, and it was only for the sake of His Majesty's face that he did not shirk on the spot. ”

"Manager Liang, my son-in-law has the great ambition of regaining Yanyun, and wants the whole Song Dynasty frontier defense and the glory of the country and the country to go down in history, and benefit the country and himself, so he endures and endures, and is willing to sacrifice the interests of the family in exchange for the opportunity to realize his ideals, and I also believe that the saint can see and give fairness and a future. However, these people in my Hou Mansion are all humble and grassy, but they have no ambitions, no qualifications and no extravagance to leave a name in history, but they only know that the lord's family treats us like close relatives, and we have to repay the kindness of the lord's family with our lives, and die without regrets. What Cangzhao people lack is never courage. We can't bear to be wronged by the Lord. ”

"Although he is a reckless slave, he has read some books and knows some big truths."

"If you treat your ministers like mustard, then your ministers treat you like enemies, there is such a sentence in the book, right?"

"No, I am willing to die to verify whether the lord is a pillar in the eyes of the court, a cow or a horse, or a mustard. The provincial lord died in confusion and was loyal and bloody. Manager Liang, if you listen to me, a lowly little person, then please go on and talk about how to deal with today's affairs. I don't just listen to it. ”

“……”

Liang Shicheng was speechless for a while, and his heart was even more annoyed, his triangular eyes were round, but the kind smile on his face finally remained.

Playing with power and unspoken rules, and making people in their sleeves, the other party has to be willing to abide by the rules to cooperate.

Since the people of the Hou Mansion directly questioned and exposed the tricks that the court wanted to play, they did not cooperate with the play, and were ready to turn their faces and fight for their lives. The one-man show of the imperial court is a little unbearable.

In the past, as soon as the court saw that it could no longer be used, it would decisively turn its face and kill the person who was played, and immediately eradicate those who had been alerted or even dissenting to avoid major troubles.

But now that the Great Song Dynasty is in turmoil that may collapse, the imperial court has no courage to play tricks, and the Cangzhao family must be appeased, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

If you really turn your face, the Cangzhao family may not be destroyed. The Great Song Dynasty designated that a catastrophe was coming. Those who bear the consequences of the catastrophe are those who sit on the throne in the capital city of Nafuan.

If you don't deal with it properly today, I'm afraid that it will force the Cangzhao family.

Liang Shicheng became more and more aware of the seriousness of this errand today.

The effect of this matter is directly related to his future and even his life.

If you don't get it right, I'm afraid that you will be the primary object of the emperor's frightening, anger and resentment, and you will lose your head.

This guy is not an ordinary slippery, and I heard that Zhao Gonglian had illusions about the imperial court.

That's where the trick comes in.

He didn't argue with Steward Zhou, and of course he didn't dare to play his prestige and reprimand and threaten the people of the Hou Mansion as before, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Listen to the miscellaneous family. Your lord's guard at the border is only temporary. With the talent of public integrity, he will be on the stage. ”

"From the very beginning, the official family has planned and cultivated this for public integrity. This should be clear to your steward Zhou. ”

"Otherwise, in three or two years, when Gonglian is a little older and has enough qualifications, he can suppress the civil and military disobedience of the Manchu Dynasty, and he will return to Beijing to prove his ability to govern the country for the vice minister, and he will be familiar with it, and I am afraid that he will be able to become a supreme minister before thirty-five. To tell you the truth, this is the intention of the official family. Don't fool your master behind your back, with your passion and loyalty. ”

"It's the wrong people in this incident."

"But what those people are holding behind their backs, the Hou Mansion won't understand."

"Especially these Yanai, it's better to let them go. The miscellaneous family assured that this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Xiang. There was no conspiracy. ”

"Several prime ministers have stayed in the palace these days, busy with official business, and they have no intention of caring about it, and they have not returned home. What can their children perceive? ”

"A group of people who want to save face, are competitive, just want to play prestige, but don't have the brains to think about the consequences."

"Listen to the advice of the miscellaneous family. Let these children go. Otherwise, if you have a deep enmity with Zhang Xiang. What if your master is justified and meritorious? Officialdom is not simply right and wrong. It is inevitable that public honesty will be much more plain in the official career, and many more powerful opponents will increase and many officialdom will be bumpy, right? “

Steward Zhou pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly under Liang Shicheng's secret nervousness.

"That's fine. For the sake of the chief manager and Zhang Xiang's face, the guilt (in the bastard office) will be exempted. But there is a price to be paid for doing something wrong. ”

Liang Shicheng was overjoyed and then surprised: The price? Don't you also have to cut your fingers, cut your nose and gouge out your eyes, and leave a mark for these wastes to remember for a long time? It's better to kill it directly, otherwise this humiliation is a great shame for those dignitaries, and you have to retaliate for anything, otherwise you will have the face to mix in the court in the future. That's a big problem. It's still a chorre that I haven't done well......

Fortunately, Steward Zhou said again, let the rich merchants who were still blocked in the Hou Mansion and dared to make trouble pay the ransom on behalf of these yamen, 500,000 yuan per family, without delay.

These Yanei are all treasures of high-level and even top-level officials, and they are worth this money.

If these rich merchants are unwilling to pay, then the Hou Mansion will have to take other punishments against the Yanei.

Zhang Bangchang: They want to be faced. The person who lost this boss in the Hou Mansion this time has become a laughing stock all over Tokyo, doesn't he need to try to save some face?

It doesn't make sense.

You are a big official. My marquis is also one of the few second-grade ministers, no worse than you.

Liang Shicheng understood that this was still a test of the imperial court, and asking for money so hard was also taking revenge on these people who shared too much of the benefits of Cangzhao business but did not think about the benefits, but were ruthless and unjust.

Not only did he have no objections, but he even agreed with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to send the little eunuch to the door to tell those rich merchants.

These rich merchants were very sad and indignant when they heard this,

The head of the family died in the Hou Mansion, and he made trouble as the leader of my family, why did he let my family pay for his sins? Why should we give money to the Hou Mansion of the enemy?

There was a commotion of discussion, but the family quickly and honestly got the money to pay, and it couldn't be delayed. Otherwise, there will be many powerful people who will be offended.

Usually arrogant, so arrogant that they can't feel the pleasure anymore, and today they finally taste the taste of being bullied.

They are all rich and rich, and they are really not bad for money.

The ransom was paid quickly.

This is tens of millions of dollars at once, and they are all gold and silver.

Outside the door, the people of more than 20 wealthy merchants watched their own money and the huge wealth of other families enter the Hou Mansion, and their hearts were painful for the loss of silver, and they were even more resentful.

Liang Shicheng is so greedy, he has accumulated countless money, and the old eunuch who has seen too many good things can't help but move his index fingers when he sees such a large amount of money, and his eyes are greedy and greedy.

At this time, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion also arrested the rich businessmen who were released and came to the Hou Mansion to arrest those who blocked the door.

These rich businessmen who blocked the door had just lost 500,000 yuan, and they were dying of pain, and they didn't want to be in prison again......

Don't think about anything.

The newly appointed prefect of Kaifeng, Xu Bingzhe, coldly warned: The saint is angry, and the thunder is down. are obedient and obedient, and going to prison is not necessarily a loss. If you dare to mess around, you are a fool looking for death.

Look at the wolf-like officials, and then look at the forbidden army that is faintly surrounding and staring at this side, how dare these rich businessmen make a mistake.

Think about the powerful backers behind you to speak, and now you are honest and obedient to the court, don't go against the emperor, the outdated powerful backers have something to say, and they will never suffer a big loss.

Well, let's go to the prison and rest first.

This is the sorrow of businessmen under the power-based system. No matter how rich you are, no matter how bullish you are, you are just pigs raised by the imperial court. The court can fiddle with it as much as it wants.

The magnates hidden behind them had connived at and even encouraged the business endorsement family to follow them to the Hou Mansion to make trouble, and the calculation was: The Cangzhao family's business has completely collapsed. I heard that the Cangzhou side was killed or robbed by Liao Kou and pirates, and the Cangzhao family went bankrupt in an instant, but there may be a cash cow - those secret recipes. This is the most important and fundamental thing, and we have to try to get it. One can completely cut off the foundation of the revival of the Cangzhao family, and the other can hold a cash cow, and from then on it will be his own financial resources, and even rich and rival the country. Gathering crowds to make trouble in the Hou Mansion is to let Zhao Gonglian see how stinky and unpopular he is in the officialdom, and see how many powerful people he faces, how powerful he is, and be honest. In this way, maybe Zhao Gonglian can be forced to obediently bow his head and hand over the cash cow in exchange for the friendship of the powerful, and the family will be safe.

If it goes well, that's the best.

If a disaster is caused, it is also the responsibility of the rich businessmen, and the powerful themselves cannot be implicated. After the limelight has passed, he will reach out to appease the rich businessmen.

At this time, the magnates heard or knew the emperor's angry attitude, how dare they come forward to speak for the rich businessmen who collude with their own families, and they all hide and shrink their heads to see the direction of the wind.
