Chapter 289: Blackmailing the Yamen of the Household Department

Miss is Miss, and she is still a little girl! Ah Zhen muttered secretly, waved his hand indifferently and said: "Whether it's Miss or Yahuan, I don't have any friends in Jinling, do I have a friend today, of course I'm happy." ”

When Tang Zhilan heard him say that he was a friend, she wondered, didn't he want to go with her for the sake of that fictitious young lady? Looking at him carefully, he didn't see anything unusual, and he couldn't figure out how to ask: "You know at a glance that you are a nobleman, and I am just a little girl, can I be a friend in this way?" ”

"People are not distinguished from high and low, today is expensive and tomorrow is cheap, tomorrow is cheap, maybe that day will become more expensive." Not to mention knowing that she is not a little girl, she is really just a little girl, and he will not dislike it, hehe said: "Making friends is sincere, as long as it is a person, what do you want to do so much?" ”

Tang Zhiruo listened warmly, nodded and said: "Little duckling, you are so good-natured, ordinary people disdain to make friends with lowly people." After the words fell, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at him for a moment, "But I can't go with you, otherwise you will know who my young lady is, and then my young lady will scold me." ”

"So mysterious, huh?" Ah Zhen shrugged his shoulders lightly, thought for a while, and said, "That's it, if you don't come to the gate of the Gongyuan tomorrow morning, I will definitely return your young lady's silver tomorrow." "At most, he will embezzle, but he embezzles thirty-seven taels, and it is strange that he doesn't make people laugh when he says it.

"I told you no, you just want this." Tang Zhilan was extremely helpless, sighed and nodded: "Okay, I'll come at the end of tomorrow and won't tell you." ”

The person who owes the money should respond, Ah Zhen happily shook his palm and said, "Then you go slowly." ”

"Hmm." Tang Zhilan bowed her head, looked at him again, turned around incomprehensibly, and left quietly in the direction of Xuanwu Lake, it turned out that this was the little Xiangye in her grandfather's mouth, a strange person.

"Alas!" The chick who pretended to be a girl left and left, Ah Zhen sighed heavily, broke down his shoulders and dragged himself to Suzaku Lane, wailing in his heart, thinking about where to borrow money, the dignified prime minister went to find someone to borrow money, and he borrowed only thirty-seven taels, and it was strange that no one would laugh off his big teeth when he passed it out, and he really never borrowed money from anyone in his life, how can this mouth be opened?

I don't know what to say in the first sentence of borrowing money from someone? You can't just reach over and "lend me thirty-seven taels", right?

After turning the laneway, the huge wide road is deserted, and the yatangs stand in front of them, what is the criminal department, the engineering department, the military department, and the household department......

"Huh!" When he saw the household department, he stopped at the next step to borrow money, turned his brain three times in front and four times in the back, and walked towards this yamen who took care of land, household registration, and finances with a happy face.

The guard on duty at the Yamen of the Ministry of Household saw a young man stepping up the steps, and the head of the guard stepped forward with a waist knife in his hand and asked, "May I ask who the son is looking for?" ”

"Looking for the household department Shangshu Shangjia inkstone." said, took out the photo seal in his arms and handed it forward: "I am the right prime minister, and I am on official duty." ”

At first glance, when he saw the prime minister's letter, the guards hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Knock to the right prime minister, Prime Minister Wan'an." ”

"Get up." Showing his identity, Ah Zhen passed unimpeded, stepped into the yamen, and walked into the straight way. The people who were sitting in the hall and were busy with official business just heard the sound of the guards knocking outside, and everyone was very surprised, why did this little minister come to their household to do something?

The head of the household led a group of officials, and went out of the hall to greet and kneel: "The lower officials see the right prime minister." ”

"Get up." Evoking this pile of officials dressed in red and green, Ah Zhen stepped into the hall and saw a large number of tables and chairs, all of which were filled with account books, pens and inkstones, and at both ends were densely packed with bookcases, which were filled with large piles of books, and Yan Ran was an office place.

I heard my father say that the person who slept with Wanzhen's mother-in-law was a student, and his surname was Liangqiu, since he was a student, there would be a record of going to the exam in the capital, how could Wanzhen's mother-in-law let people sleep in vain like this?

"Where's Lord Shang?" After walking around and touching and thinking about it, Ah Zhen turned around and smiled: "Why didn't you see Lord Shang?" ”

The head of the household department couldn't figure out why the right prime minister came, he asked, and he couldn't help but answer, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Lord Shang has something to do, and the lower official immediately ordered someone to summon him." ”

"No need." Walking down in a circle, he walked to the large wooden table in front of the hall and sat down, raised his eyes to look at the pile of officials in front of him, and after thinking about it, he said in an official tone: "Recently, I am investigating a case, this case is extremely tricky, it has been ten years since the case, and I have no clue, so I want to turn over the front file." ”

"I see." When the nervous officials heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the Tobe squire stepped forward, "I don't know whose file the right prime minister wants to check?" ”

"Hmm." Looking at the household waiter, Ah Zhen pursed his lips and deliberately thought for a while before he said: "I only know that this person is from Jianzhou, surnamed Liangqiu, and he was a student of Enke ten years ago, and I don't know anything else." ”

"These are enough, Prime Minister right, please wait." Enke once every five years, there are only thousands of students in the north and south, and they are still people surnamed Liangqiu in Jianzhou, and the household servant said that there is no Yali at all, so he called people to watch tea, and led a large number of people to immediately check the Enke file of Mao Ding.

"There it is!" Before a cup of tea was finished, Hu Pu Shilang screamed, picked up an old book and walked to the table and said: "The right prime minister, this person's name is Bo Ying, Jianzhou Sanhu County, ** village people, ugly year Jinshi, Mao Ding year Jinshi was born, was assigned to Junzhou as Si Pu, in the same year Junzhou government said incompetent, then let go to the river to serve as the long history, he stayed in the river for three years, and was demoted to Zhengzhou as the deputy of the history, served for two years or no merit, and was demoted to Gongzhou to serve as the county order, until now. ”

Hearing the Gongzhou County Order, Ah Zhen frowned, and the courteous arrest in Gongzhou that day, the unsolved cases mentioned by the shopkeeper surfaced from his mind one by one.

"Is that him?" Suddenly realized, he suddenly stood up from his chair, his face was blue and white, and it was extremely ugly. wanted to leave Gongzhou at that time, and he also wanted to transfer this Gongzhou County Master to Ren Zaipu, but unexpectedly, this person who has become smaller and smaller in his official position in the past ten years turned out to be Su Jingfeng's father, who slept with Wanzhen's mother-in-law.

Standing in front of the table, I don't understand what Xiangye is, why his face is suddenly so ugly, the head of the household is heartbroken, and he calls carefully: "My lord......"

Ah Zhen hesitated in his heart, snatched the record in his hand, read it in detail several times, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it accurate?" ”

Tobe nodded affirmatively, "There can't be a mistake in the record. ”

Sure enough, it was him. Ah Zhen sighed secretly, walked out of the chair silently, groaned for a while, eased his face slightly, turned around with a smile as if nothing happened, and asked: "Hubu Shilang, then do you know when I became an official?" ”

"Huh?" The head of the household was stunned by this Sichuan's change of face, stared at him blankly, and asked cautiously: "Right Prime Minister, who are you?" ”

Wanzhen's mother-in-law's affairs have been settled, Ah Zhen smiled, solved his own affairs, and asked cordially: "Hubu Shilang, how much is my monthly silver as the right prime minister?" ”

The officials didn't understand what he was going to do, so they all looked at each other, and Kusi was careful and bowed forward: "Thirty taels of silver, three lines of silver, seven taels of stone." ”

"So that's what I pay every month?" Ming nodded and asked, "Then who do you give my money to every month?" ”

"This ......" Kusi didn't know what to do, and looked at the smiling Xiangye with open eyes, and bent over in a panic: "At noon on the thirtieth day of every month, the lower officials will personally send the adults' money to the mansion, and the governors of each prefecture will count and sign for it, and there will be no mistakes." ”

This absolute mistake made Ah Zhen shake his head again and again, and said with a smile: "The world is not true, and now you have made a big mistake." ”

When Kusi heard this, he was really frightened, slammed his knees, and replied with a pale face: "No...... I don't know where...... Where went wrong. Please also show the right prime minister. ”

"Don't be nervous, get up and listen to me tell you in detail." Ah Zhen evoked the frightened official and analyzed: "Just now you said that you will go to everyone's mansion on the thirtieth day of the month to distribute the salary, which must not be wrong, but there is one thing you missed. ”

When everyone heard the words of this letter, they all clenched their fists and asked for advice: "Please show the right prime minister." ”

"If you have a mansion, of course, you can't be wrong, if you only have an official position but no mansion, how can you distribute the money, let alone sign for it?" Ah Zhen laughed.

"This ......" The officials looked at each other, and they were extremely suspicious, since they were officials in the capital, how could they not have a mansion?

The head of the household department had a comprehension, recalling that the right prime minister came for the official all the way, from rejecting the wolf and the head of the march of the North Road, until he was in charge of the dragon and tiger double fu and the right prime minister, he immediately got through, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "What the right prime minister said is very true, it is the lower official who is confused." ”

Seeing this household servant kneeling, Ah Zhen smiled in his eyes, "Got it?" ”

"Got it, got it." The head of the household nodded again and again, and said: "When the right prime minister retreated from the enemy in the north, there was still a shortage of money, and he was confused, please wait for ......" When the words fell, a cadre of people got up from the ground, pretended to clear out the silver list, and carefully handed it over and asked: "I don't know what the Xiangye thinks?" ”

Ah Zhen took the list and looked at it, his face cramped for a while, and he saw that it said 14,000 taels, and when the prime minister of his life didn't have so much money, he cleared his throat and nodded seriously. "Yes, the household department has excellent efficiency, and the liquidation speed is fast and accurate, that is, forty taels of silver, not a single line is bad."

"Yes, yes......" The head of the household heard forty taels, his old face was sneering, and he didn't know what the right prime minister was doing, so he had to nod his head again and again. Let someone take the four blooming mountains of silver, and respectfully hold the front: "Please count the right prime minister." ”

"No need to order, the emperor can rest assured that he will hand over the household department to you, can I not rest assured?" Ah Zhen played an official tone, and quickly took the four blooming mountain silver into his arms, but he didn't expect him to do blackmail again, this time it was someone else, it turned out to be a yamen, how does it feel to blackmail the official? It's so cool!

When the cadres of the household department heard this, they were overjoyed and thanked him again and again, not expecting him to be promoted, as long as they didn't trouble their household department, his uncle would have no problem asking for 40,000 taels. However, Xiangye came to ask for a mere forty taels, what does this mean?

"Alright, you guys are busy." The money was extorted, Ah Zhen smiled and said goodbye, with forty taels in his arms, he turned around and strode away towards the door.
