Chapter 233: I want your help

"How. I have something I need your help with right now. "Zhang Fan said the purpose of letting him come over today." Would you like to help me? ”

Wang Dezhao listened to Zhang Fan's words. He immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang Fan. There was nothing but confusion and surprise on his face. There was also a deep sense of unbelief. Come to think of it. If you are a person who stands in Wang Dezhao's position now, you will not believe what Zhang Fan said. After all, it sounds like a joke. So Wang Dezhao is not only puzzled and surprised. He also looked at Zhang Fan's face. He was looking for the illusion that he himself had already determined to exist.

But Wang De looked at it. Zhang Fan's face was very serious. There was not the slightest hint of what it was deliberately made. It doesn't have to be serious.

"Big ...... My lord. You're not kidding. Wang Dezhao said quietly and very uncertainly. This...... My lord. Xia Guan is now about to be frightened. I hope you don't play tricks on me again. Xiaguan's heart...... I can't stand it. ”

Zhang Fan heard Wang Dezhao say this. They didn't look at him squarely. Just throw him a roll of the eye. He said angrily, "What kind of brain are you?" I might want to see your jokes. But that's just that. Now the official is not in the mood to do this. If you want to live. Even want to keep your official position. Then honestly help the officer. Zhang Fan's words are actually completely unreasonable. After all, how can Wang Dezhao know when he is in a good mood. When to be in a bad mood. But now Zhang Fan is dominant. It's not like he's what he says. And Wang Dezhao, the unlucky ghost who hit the muzzle of the gun, could only sit there and suffer obediently.

"But...... My lord. Xia Guan ......: "Wang Dezhao did not veto it immediately this time. Of course. He didn't say yes right away, though. But it can also be seen. He also vaguely understood in his heart that his life was safe now. However, he still has a lot of doubts to ask Zhang Fan. β€œβ€¦β€¦ The lower officials have committed so many things. Don't adults punish the lower officials? ”

"Committing a crime." Zhang Fan listened to him. Make a look of surprise. Then he said with a smile. "You Wang Dezhao. It's funny tight. What shall I say about you? You're so stupid, naΓ―ve and cute. I'm still pretending to be confused. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This. Xia Guan didn't understand what the adults were talking about. Please show me so. Wang Dezhao had a sincere expression. It doesn't look like it's done on purpose.

Zhang Fan looked at him like this. The thought I had before was gone. It seems that this Wang Dezhao really doesn't understand. Now that I think about it. Corrupt officials become Wang De like this. More clean than those famous and honest officials. It's really unheard of. And the main thing is. Wang Dezhao himself still seems to be a little confused. It's really ...... Zhang Fan was a little sad for him.

"No wonder you're so stupid. I can't even be a corrupt official. Zhang Fan scolded him a little angrily. But it didn't matter if I saw Wang Dezhao's face. There are even some honest and honest appearances. The anger in Zhang Fan's heart also turned into helplessness. He didn't have the heart to scold Wang Dezhao. Hit the spirits hard. Zhang Fan said. "You pig-brained. If only I had to deal with a corrupt official of your level myself. Then I can really be regarded as having a lot of opportunities to get out. ”

Wang Dezhao didn't react after listening to Zhang Fan's words. But it didn't take long. And he came back to it. Immediately, there was a burst of excitement in my heart. Even his body trembled slightly.

"Feelings. This corruption of mine is nothing in the eyes of Zhang Fan. Not even a corrupt official. Wang Dezhao couldn't help but think in his heart. That's a good idea. If there is still a chance in the future. I still do it. Scoop up some oil and water a little. It's enough to eat, drink and have fun on your own. I'm not one of those stupid people. I don't know what I believe if I have a little power in my hand. He was greedy for so much silver. But they didn't dare to spend it. It's moldy and hidden all day long. It's really stupid to do. "This man is not greedy. Greed is not small. Zhang Fan just said that he was fine. He began to think carefully in his heart again. Speaking of which, though. This little bit of caution is nothing. Especially in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. And Wang Dezhao's views on those corrupt officials are also very correct. Greed is huge. But I was greedy and didn't dare to spend it. This is equivalent to a huge amount of money obtained by risking death to commit crimes. But they didn't dare to spend it. In the end, it was found out by the imperial court. Make a difference. It's stupid enough.

Think of these. Wang Dezhao understood it thoroughly. I'm really fine. And now Zhang Fan asked him to help. Maybe there's something good about it. Thinking of this, Wang Dezhao didn't want to mention how happy he was. The joy seemed a little irrepressible to him. Even a slight smile appeared on his face. Although only for a moment. But Zhang Fan still caught his smile.

saw the smile on Wang Dezhao's face. Zhang Fan's mind turned around and he knew what he was thinking. Speaking of which, I want to know what Wang Dezhao is thinking in his heart. It couldn't be easier. He's the kind of person who has the thoughts in his heart engraved on his face. But Zhang Fan didn't have any feelings of dislike for Wang Dezhao because he knew his thoughts. Opposite. He was very satisfied with Wang Dezhao's reaction. I really trust him a lot in my heart. After all, this kind of person. I can't control my inner thoughts. All those who are exposed to the outside. It's just too easy to control. It's a lot more reassuring to use. The most important thing is that Wang Dezhao is not an incorruptible hard guy. Opposite. He was very weak. With a little threat, he can be completely controlled. And the kind of desire to take advantage of a small advantage in his heart is too heavy. It is also a place where you can use it.

"Your Excellency wants to know how to help. As long as an adult says it. The lower officials must go to the soup and do not hesitate to do so. Wang Dezhao's expression immediately became extremely resolute. patted his chest and said.

"I don't need you to go to the soup. You don't have the guts. Zhang Fan said angrily.

After Wang Dezhao heard it. I didn't disagree. Just smiled embarrassedly.

"Now. You drink with me first. More on that later. Zhang Fan ordered.

This time. Wang Dezhao is no longer the cowering look he had just now. I don't want to live or die. This time he suddenly took the initiative to become enthusiastic. Of course. The flattering expression on his face couldn't be more obvious.

Zhang Fan didn't have any impatience with this. Although with his current status. It's completely possible to make people treat themselves like this every day. But he never did. Today for the first time, I enjoyed someone slapping himself on the back. It's a bit awkward, though. But he really thought it was good.

In the blink of an eye. Push the cup and change the lamp. I drank a lot of wine. The dishes on the table have also disappeared a lot. But that's mostly due to Wang Dezhao. Wang Dezhao, who was relaxed, seemed to have relaxed his stomach. Zhang Fan, who was eating and drinking, had a big look in his eyes. I've been thinking about it in my heart. This Wang De seems to have no choice. If you don't want to be greedy for a little money. I'm afraid with that little money. He even had a problem eating.

Finally. The meal came to an end. The two were still drinking. But the chopsticks in my hand have already been put down.

"Now. Let's get down to business. Zhang Fan said.

As soon as Wang Dezhao heard it, he was going to get down to business. Quickly swallowed the chopsticks dish that had just been put in his mouth. I can't care about chewing it. Then he wiped his big oily mouth with his sleeve. looked at Zhang Fan with a straight face. Wait for him to speak. This series of movements saw Zhang Fan's eyes jump. I've been thinking about it in my heart. This Wang Dezhao is also a genuine jinshi. I don't know where he read all those sage books back then. How to disregard the image so much.

"What do you command? Please also speak bluntly. The lower officials listened attentively. I saw Zhang Fan looking at himself with a look that he couldn't understand. Wang Dezhao couldn't help but feel a little weak. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Hurry up and speak. Divert Zhang Fan's gaze.

"Oh...... Okay......" Zhang Fan shook his head. Straighten your face. Said. "Liu Shan's fufa matter. No more need. I don't have to repeat the situation to you at that time. Now. I have already obtained Liu Shan's account books. It contains the names of all the officials involved in the matter. Let's not mention this for now. I'm now interested in the money that Liu Shan and his henchmen are embezzling.

"Don't be in a hurry to speak. Hear me out. That's not what I want. That's what the emperor told me to do. So you don't have to worry. I won't cause you any trouble if I ask for your help. You can rest assured of this.

"But now. I ran into a problem. There are too many officials recorded in Liu Shan's account books. There's no way I'm going to grab them all. That's it. The three places of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian will definitely turn the world upside down. But I can't just catch a few. Or send someone to talk to them. Ask them to spit out the money. This news will leak out in the future. That's also amazing.

"So. I came up with a solution. How can you get these people to obediently spit out the money. But it does not alarm other places. Especially the folk. Or rather. Even if it was alarmed. There are other ways to avoid the outbreak of public resentment. I thought about it a lot today. In the end, I finally came up with a solution.

"But I need someone who is no longer on Liu Shan's books for this matter. It's just that it's hard to find that kind of person. Almost all of the people who meet the criteria in these three places are on the books. I also went through the books. In the end, I finally found someone whose name was not on it. That person is you.

"It's weird to say. You were the most suspicious of you, but you didn't even get involved in this matter. But it's a good thing for you and me. Right now. I just need your help. ”
