Chapter 548: Huge Greed
"Huh?" Du Weiting waved his hand, put down the wine jug and said, "It's just a simple friendship with Lord Yu, but it's inconvenient for people to hear about some private matters." ”
"Yes, yes, it is an honor to be able to have a good time with Lord Du." Yu Jian hurriedly said, and there was obviously a smell of stuttering in his tone.
However, Du Weiting was not in a hurry, and he did not dare to reveal his purpose directly to Yu Jian, but said tentatively: "Lord Yu, this official heard that during this time, you have the intention of taking a concubine, but I don't know why this happy event has not been done yet." ”
When Yu Jian heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he smiled: "This is a private matter of the lower officials, I don't know where Lord Du heard about it." ”
Yu Jian is right, this is originally a private matter, but for Du Weiting, it is not a piece of cake to find out about these situations.
He smiled slightly and said, "Lord Yu doesn't have to be like this, you and I are both officials in Leizhou, and we are colleagues, if you have any difficulties, you can open your mouth to me." ”
In fact, he has already found out that recently, Yu Jian has been in close contact with a woman in a Qinglou, and he has the intention of redeeming his life, but this woman's redemption is expensive, and Yu Jian's current fortune is probably difficult.
Hearing this, Yu Jian's face became even more ugly.
Du Weiting observed his words, it did not mean that he was strong in speaking, he had already raised his palm and patted it, and with his movements, soon, a subordinate walked in with a tray, and the tray was covered with a layer of red cloth.
Du Weiting stood up and took the tray, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat, and then personally came to Yu Jian's several cases with the tray, put it on the table, and reached out to tear off the red cloth on the tray.
On top of that, there was a row of glittering gold!
Seeing this, Yu Jian took a light breath, quickly stood up and said, "Lord Du, this"
"Huh?" Du Weiting waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is just a little caution on the part of the official, and I hope that Lord Yu will not shirk." ”
As he spoke, he smiled again: "It's normal for men to love women, and Lord Yu shouldn't let the girl wait for you all the time!" ”
"This, how embarrassing is this, Master Du" Yu Jian still said with some disbelief, he really couldn't understand why Du Weiting was so good, not only did he invite him to drink, but also gave him so much gold.
And this gold, of course, is enough to redeem the Qinglou woman.
To say that Yu Jian doesn't want it, it must be a lie!
And what Du Weiting is waiting for is also to see if he wants it, if he wants it, then the next thing is undoubtedly a matter of course, it is much easier to do, if you don't want it, it doesn't matter, Yu Jian can't do anything to Du Weiting, besides, people take out gold to help themselves, how can Yu Jian bite back.
Du Weiting's method of testing Yu Jian can not be described as unclever, he first found out the difficulties under Yu Jian's eyes, and then sent not a lot of gold for the purpose of favor, the latter accepted it, and the ship was fine!
And what Yu Jian wants to do most now is to redeem the Qinglou woman, looking at the gold in front of him, he is undoubtedly moved!
Du Weiting once again observed the words and made sure that he knew it in his heart, and he no longer said more, but returned to his position, picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, come on, Lord Yu, you and I will have another drink together." ”
"Ah, Lord Du, please." Yu Jian hurriedly said, the other party is not only Shangguan, but also gave himself such a big favor at this time, how dare he slack off.
There is no doubt that this meal, the two of them are very happy to eat, Yu Jian received the gold, Du Weiting tried to have the result, in the end, the wine has been three rounds, the dishes have five flavors, the two of them have drunk the same, Yu Jian got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he also pretended to excuse himself, but Du Weiting naturally stuffed all the gold into his arms
The next day, Du Weiting was originally going to attack the county lord Bo, but before that, a special person suddenly found him.
A well-known grain merchant in Yandi.
Now, there are many droughts in Yandi, and there is no harvest, and in Leizhou County, even more so, the grain for disaster relief from the imperial court has been transported, and the reason why the grain merchant found Du Weiting at this time is to make a big deal with him!
After meeting with the grain merchant in the mansion, Du Weiting ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked: "Your Excellency asked to see this official, but I don't know why?" ”
The grain merchant did not answer, but looked left and right with his probe.
Seeing this, Du Weiting frowned slightly and said: "This is the official mansion, and there is no one else, Your Excellency has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Hearing this, the grain merchant leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "I dare to ask, has the grain for disaster relief from the imperial court been allocated to the county?" ”
This is an official business, and it is not something that he should inquire about as a businessman at all, Du Weiting heard this, and said unhappily: "What does Your Excellency mean?" ”
"Huh." The grain merchant smiled slightly, and said with a thief's eyebrows: "Right now, there is a huge amount of money from the sky that wants to be given to the adult, but I don't know if the adult is willing to accept it." ”
Du Weiting was originally a greedy person, and he even dared to embezzle the money allocated by the imperial court, which shows that he was willing to take risks for the sake of wealth! But now listening to what the grain merchant said, as an official, he didn't dare to show anything easily, but remained quiet, did not stop the grain merchant from continuing to talk, and did not make any statement.
Seeing that Du Weiting didn't speak, just drinking tea by himself, the grain merchant traveled south and north, saw a lot of knowledge, and immediately knew what to do, and decided to get straight to the point.
He smiled again and said: "There is a large amount of grain hoarded in my warehouse, and with the current situation in Leizhou, these grains can be sold at sky-high prices!" And the adults only need to temporarily seize the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court, and do not start it, and delay the time! ”
"And my lord, I am not embezzling the grain and grass for disaster relief, but preparing to distribute it"
The meaning of his words is already very clear, that is, he hopes that Du Weiting can stop distributing grain first, and then distribute it after he sells the hoarded grain and grass at a sky-high price.
In this way, Du Weiting really doesn't have to bear any responsibility at all, and no one can sue him for anything, because he is not embezzling grain and grass, but is preparing to distribute it!
What a clever idea! After listening to this, Du Weiting's heart moved on the spot, and he couldn't help asking, "How much grain does Your Excellency have?" And at what price are you going to sell? ”
"Hundreds of thousands of stones, sold at ten times the usual price! The benefits obtained are willing to be divided with the adults, do the adults think it is feasible? The grain merchant smiled treacherously.
"Hiss" Du Weiting couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.
There is no doubt that when it comes to the end, the two hit it off.
Du Weiting committed corruption in Leizhou, and even colluded with officials and businessmen to make a fortune of disaster!
At the same time, Jingguan Cai Yang is also rushing to Leizhou to take up his post.
