Chapter 7: Ouyang's nephew
In a quiet life, people are always willing to find some excitement, otherwise this day will be boring.
"Big, big, big!" "Small, small, small!" When Lord Zhao walked into the small courtyard with Shen Chongming, he heard a burst of shouting from a room.
Lord Zhao's face immediately fell, this group of bastards, they know how to gamble when they are idle, and they usually forget it, they obviously said hello yesterday, saying that it is very likely that the people from the Ministry of Officials will come to check the account books and count the stolen goods, so that they can take it easy, but they didn't expect their words to be the same as farting.
Pushing the door open, Lord Zhao stood at the door and stared coldly at the nine people who were pouting and gambling in a circle without speaking.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Zhao?" The short, fat middle-aged man who was sitting on the top suspected dealer immediately laughed when he saw Lord Zhao, and he was not afraid at all because he was found to be gathering people to gamble.
"Lord Ouyang, who made you gamble when you were on duty, did you forget the rules of the imperial court?" Lord Zhao said coldly.
When the rest of the people saw Lord Zhao angry, they immediately showed a panicked look, but Ouyang Fat Man had a smile on his face, and he didn't have the slightest fear at all.
"Hehe, Lord Zhao is serious, let's just have some fun when we are idle, how can we violate the laws of the imperial court, you always like to make a big fuss." Ouyang Fat Man said very facelessly.
"Lord Ouyang, you are presumptuous, believe it or not, the official immediately sent someone to take you and send you to Lord Shangshu to ask for sin?" Lord Zhao's face is even darker, this dead fat man doesn't give himself face in front of outsiders, it's too presumptuous!
He was not happy, Ouyang Fatty, who was disturbed by Yaxing, also lost his temper, and the sesame big five-grade official was too wide, and he didn't want to think about what Lao Tzu's uncle was, and he dared to talk to Lao Tzu like this.
"Lord Zhao, don't make a big fuss, no one looks good if you tear your face." Ouyang Fat raised his head and said very shyly.
"You ......" Lord Zhao was angry for a while, pointing at the fat man Ouyang who was speechless.
Looking at this situation, Shen Chongming knew that this Lord Ouyang was a person with a background, otherwise how would the person who would dare to argue with his boss by punishing the Dirty Treasury, the treasurer of the Nine Grades.
"Hehe, Lord Zhao is angry, let's finish our errand. Besides, they didn't do it on purpose, you just raised your noble hand and let it go. Shen Chongming kindly persuaded Zhao Langzhong not to give Zhao Langzhong a step down, but he was afraid that today's errand would be in vain.
"Hmph, who are you? What does it mean to raise your noble hand and let it go, what is he? Before Lord Zhao spoke, Ouyang Fat Man was already unhappy.
I've seen this guy unpleasant for a long time, so I won't humiliate him today, and I won't kick my nose in the face in the future.
Encountering such a bastard who didn't know how to lift, Shen Chongming had nothing to say, spread his hands and said with a smile: "This official department is going to take the examination of the public and clean up the officials, and I came to verify and count the dirty account books and property of my family, and I also asked Lord Ouyang to bring the account books quickly." ”
"You officials don't have to worry about it, in a few days, the Japanese officials will invite the imperial history masters of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate, and they will know better than you." Lord Ouyang turned around and sat on the bench and crossed Erlang's legs and said.
"Lord Ouyang, this verification is a matter for this department and the Ministry of Officials to test the public and clear officials, and it has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Lord Zhao finally spoke, with a hint of sarcasm between his words, this native bun from the countryside, he knew how to bully people if he didn't understand anything.
"This ...... Lord Zhao, it doesn't seem that you have the final say in this matter, this official will go to Lord Shilang to see if you are bluffing me! Ouyang Fat Man's eyes rolled, and he got up and was about to leave.
"Hehe, no need, you have been punishing the dirty warehouse for less than a year, naturally you don't know the rules, if you don't believe it, ask them." Lord Zhao pointed to the deputy envoy and the miscellaneous servant who had never spoken.
Ouyang Fat Man looked back, and when he saw several subordinates nodding, he couldn't help but lose his temper, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, but the account books haven't been prepared yet, can the two adults come back tomorrow?" ”
"There's no need to prepare, the official only checks the two account books in and out of the warehouse, which is very simple." Shen Chongming sneered, look at this situation, this Ouyang fat man is not clean, and he dares to be so rampant if his ass is not clean, no matter whether there is anyone behind you or not, I will not punish you well, I am sorry for the name of our ministry.
Lord Zhao also sneered, no longer paid attention to Ouyang Fatzi, and directly instructed the deputy envoy of the Dirty Library: "Go, bring the account books, and then open the doors of a few warehouses, and the official and Lord Shen will check the account books." ”
The deputy envoy is an old man who is nearly fifty years old, and this age is still spent in the position of the deputy envoy from the Nine Grades Punishment Dirty Library, he must be a person with no background, as soon as he heard Lord Zhao's instructions, he nodded in a hurry, and he should go to get the account book of the Dirty Treasury.
The deputy envoy looked flustered, but he was gloating in his heart. Lord Ouyang, who let you win nearly thirty taels of silver from the old man in the past six months, it is all all the hard-earned money of these years, if you don't take this opportunity to drive you down, sooner or later the old man's coffin will have to be blackmailed by you!
"Lord Zhao, the lower officials are innocent, what is there to find." Seeing that Lord Zhao was really moving, Ouyang Fatman's attitude immediately softened, and in a panic, he actually did a stupid thing of three hundred taels of silver here.
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and this official and Lord Shen are just routine, Lord Ouyang doesn't need to be so anxious." Lord Zhao sneered, and had already made up his mind in his heart, this time in front of this Lord Shen, he would reveal all the dirty things about the dirty treasury, and it was best to borrow his hand to take this Ouyang fat man away!
Although Lord Ouyang looks like a bastard, he has a lot of thoughts. He, the ambassador, also knows a lot about the accounts of the dirty treasury, so many good things have been poured home by himself, and no matter how flat the accounts are, there will inevitably be loopholes.
Look at the current situation, the surname Zhao is clearly planning to get along with himself, he is an official of the household department, and this penalty library may really have his eyes, once he divulges something to the people in the ministry, then his position as the ambassador of the penalty library will be difficult to protect.
With a roll of his eyes, Lord Ouyang's attitude dropped a lot again, and he sneered: "Two adults, this matter of checking the accounts is not in a hurry, and such a trivial matter does not need to be done by the two adults themselves, why don't we take advantage of our free time to go out and have a drink or two cups from the lower officials?" ”
Looking at his groveling appearance, Shen Chongming couldn't help but shake his head, he knew why bother just now, if he was low-key just now, who would have the time to trouble you, and now he wants to redeem it, it's too late!
"Lord Ouyang, pay attention to your words and deeds!" Lord Zhao glared at Lord Ouyang fiercely, the more he looked at him, the more he looked at him, and he didn't know how the shrewd Old Master Ouyang had such a nephew with a rice bucket, and he could say this at this juncture, and the Ming Dynasty was so unique to him!
Lord Ouyang's nephew, Lord Ouyang, saw that this road would not work, so he couldn't help but be angry, and said coldly: "This official gives you face, don't be ignorant, don't think that this official is easy to bully, my uncle is a second-class Ducha imperial history!" ”
Shen Chongming smacked his tongue for a while, not that he was frightened by this name, but he was really surprised that this rice bucket could reach such a field, it was really unprecedented and unprecedented.
There was a threat here, so the deputy envoy hurriedly walked in with a few account books, bowed down and said, "Lord Zhao, this is the account book for the confiscated goods to be put into and out of the warehouse." ”
"The law of the court is on top, no matter who violates it, it will be correct!" Lord Zhao took the account book, glared at Lord Ouyang coldly, and said.
Lord Ouyang was speechless for a while, so he could only sit there angrily, but he was sneering in his heart, just whatever, even if he finds out something, see what you can do with us!
Zhao Qiming, as a household official, knows the income and expenditure of each department of the household department well, and after so many years of errands, he has already developed a sharp eye, and he took Shen Chongming around with the account book and found several loopholes.
"Lord Shen, you see that there is one piece of pure gold wine jug missing here, and three pieces ......of Hetian jade pendant are missing here." Lord Zhao pointed to the account book and whispered to Shen Chongming, Shen Chongming sighed secretly in his heart, he really found out the problem, how can it be good now, he has never done such an errand.
Knowing is knowing is not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also knowing. Shen Chongming has always kept this sage sentence in mind, and now he doesn't know how to deal with this matter, so he has to ask curtly: "Lord Zhao, not long after the official arrived, I don't understand many things, and I ask my lord to teach me what to do." ”
Lord Zhao smiled proudly in his heart, it was because you didn't understand a lot of things that I planned to borrow your hand to clean up Ouyang's rice bucket.
"Hehe, it's simple, Lord Shen took these incriminating evidence and went directly to my household servant Zhang Juzheng Lord Zhang, except for the corrupt officials in the yamen, all of them were instructed by Lord Zhang, and then he would tell Lord Shen how to do it." Lord Zhao said with a smile.
Shen Chongming didn't know what to do, nodded and said, "Okay, the lower official will go now, and please ask the adults to lead the way." ”
"Hehe, the official will check again, and send someone to take Master Shen there." As he spoke, he summoned a subordinate to lead the way for Shen Chongming to find Zhang Juzheng in the front yard.
