Chapter 314: Detention of the Prefect
When Lord Qin Chafang looked at the prefects with expectation, everyone felt like crying.
What the is this! It's obviously a good second brother, do you have such an open fire to rob?
Look at each other. Everyone was dripping with blood in their hearts, but they had to smile on their faces, and said, "And, cough, there's more."
A prefect clapped his hands outside, and a group of white, beautiful maids rushed in. They were holding a delicate small box made of sandalwood in their hands, and the maids walked into the warehouse, lined up in front of Fang Zheng, opened the small box in their hands, but saw that the room was full of bright and dazzling eyes, and the box was originally filled with Dongzhu of various sizes such as longan, coral, and a bunch of rare pearls that could not be named at all.
Fang Zheng rubbed his eyes. Trying to get used to the sparkle of these rare treasures, you can't help but be overjoyed when you look closely. Jun's face was filled with ecstasy, his eyes staring at the jewels without blinking, and he let out a satisfied moan.
"Life should be like this, so that you can be an official in vain" Fang Zheng sighed, how long has it been, how long has it been since I have seen such a dazzling baby? These prefects are really interesting, oops, I can't even bear to clean them up,,
"That's that, that's. The lord Gao saw: "The prefects are happy to see Fang Zheng." couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded in agreement.
Walking forward, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, took the hand of a maid, and said affectionately: "How old are you?" Oops, your skin is so white, and it's very delicate, hehe. In the future, follow me to eat fragrant and drink spicy,"
Everyone knows it. Then he was shocked and said in unison: "My lord, it's wrong. The maid is not for you
"Yes, yes. The big production and small subordinates are merciful, and the maid is borrowed from the Suzhou family."
"No, I just want them" Look. How beautiful they are,"
"My lord, they are all seconded on temporary occasions to set off the luxury of the jewelry," the prefect said.
"My lord, it's really not wise to buy skills
"No, I like these girls, I don't want jewelry, I want them." Lord Fang looked very stubborn. ””
Dispute over a pillar of incense time. Lord Chin Cha Fang had to give up these beautiful girls in a foolish manner
The maids put down the jewel box and ran out of the storeroom as if fleeing for their lives.
Fang Zheng looked at their backs reluctantly, and muttered in his mouth: "It's a contract, it's a very good appointment."
The prefects wiped the sweat from their foreheads, forced a smile, nodded and laughed, and their hearts were full of bitterness.
Turning his head sideways, looking at this group of corrupt officials, Fang Zheng was prepared to see how it was not pleasing to the eye. glanced at them angrily, and snorted: "There is a golden house in the book, this is true, there is a sentence in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, haven't you heard it?" What about Yan Ruyu? ”
"Huh?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Look, the five-grade prefect of the imperial court, why are they all so virtuous?
Fang Zheng frowned dissatisfiedly: "Yan Ruyu didn't?" You'll have to add a little bit to the Golden House
Everyone was shocked, shaking their heads quickly in unison, and their old faces were distorted like bitter melons: "It's gone, my lord, it's really gone." In order to honor our lords, we have really cleaned up our families,"
"Hey, you're not right, being a man is the right way, and the same is true for being an official, you are too inactive, which makes the official very embarrassed
The prefects are still laughing. They laughed more ugly than they cried, this Lord Qincha is not just asking for bribes, he is simply going to raid our home, his appetite is a bottomless pit at all, no amount of silver can be filled, and he is also a corrupt official. This Lord Qincha is obviously much more powerful than a few of us."
Fang Zheng stared at these prefects with dissatisfaction, he really couldn't figure it out, the people who were about to be thrown into prison and were going to be raided, why were they still holding on to this bit of silver and were reluctant to let go, of course, maybe they didn't know the fate they were about to face now.
But they'll soon find out. "Are you sure you have no money?" Fang Zheng winked at them and smiled kindly.
The prefects hurriedly shook their heads. looked quite embarrassed, the rules of officialdom since ancient times. Asking for bribes and accepting bribes, both sides are very subtle and obscure, and the specific number is even more vague, all depending on whether the two sides understand the rules or not. There is an unwritten setting for how much money should be paid for what to do, according to the rules, no one will say anything to you, and both parties are happy.
But this Lord Qincha doesn't seem to understand the so-called officialdom rules at all, and he has a face of forcible grabbing. Not only is it clear that he wants it, but he is also insatiable, Fang Zheng's performance certainly makes them happy, the more greedy Lord Qincha is, the more it means that they are fine, but Lord Qincha's appetite They feel a little unbearable, they are all worried about the silver, and they live trembling every day, but Lord Fang has a mouth, and his savings for many years are sent out like this. People are still not satisfied and feel that it is not enough.
What kind of world is this! Could it be that the rules of officialdom in the capital have changed now? Everyone is accustomed to coming and going, asking for bribes and accepting bribes is like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, bargaining?
Seeing that the prefects shook their heads like rattles, Fang Zheng knew that these people were probably squeezed dry by themselves, so he smiled coldly, suddenly turned his face blank, and said, "Since you have no money, I don't have to act with you anymore." I've never been willing to do things that don't get paid."
Under the stunned eyes of the prefects, Fang Zheng shouted loudly: "Anyone who comes, arrest them all and throw them away!" ”
The crowd was confused. Then he quickly understood what Fang Zheng meant, and couldn't help but be angry, a prefect trembled and pointed at Fang Zheng and said angrily: "You" you
Fang Zheng smiled: "That's right, I turned my face, what's wrong?" ”
As he spoke, a dozen guards with big shoulders and round waists walked in, and two of them held one of them, holding them by the collar, so that they could not move.
"Fang, Lord Fang. Wait! A prefect stood up and protested: "Small country."
When he dies, he still has a hard mouth. Could it be that there is really a saying on these that "if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry"?
Fang Zheng glanced at him and snorted, "Your memory won't be so bad, right?" The prefects of the six prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River have a total of more than 20 million taels of tax and silver from the treasury, such a big deal, why don't you forget it so quickly? ”
The prefects heard this. Suddenly, his face turned pale, cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down his forehead, and they looked at each other. found each other's eyes like a dead, human despair and godlessness.
Only Li Huaide, the prefect of Jiaxing, swept away the sad face of the net, and changed his face to joy, Fang Zheng glanced at him a few times without a trace, and the doubts in his heart were even worse, looking at his appearance, it seems that he really has nothing to do with the tax case, is it possible that Miss Han San and I have made a mistake in our judgment? No matter how many there are, let's lock them up first, and then talk about it, and try them one by one, you can always find clues. Even if I can't find a clue, at least I've reaped the benefits, tsk, the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry are enough for me to lose for a while
Li Huaide was escorted down with the prefects, and before leaving, Li Huaide glanced back at Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng glanced at him, Li Huaide smiled knowingly, and followed the lost prefect of the five prefectures into the prison together.
Turning his head, Fang Zheng looked at the mountains of jewels in the warehouse, and sighed with satisfaction, today can be regarded as a full load. Not only caught these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but also benefited, if you can live such a life every day, you are willing to live ten years less, "Ten years is a little more, five years less?" No, three years, two years or even forget it, these are all I deserve, why should I live less?
was obsessively looking at the house full of gifts, suddenly the light in the house dimmed, Shi Shiran walked in outside the door, and looked fixedly, it turned out to be the king of Thailand.
The King of Thailand walked in. was stunned by the jewels in the room, and then smiled: "Ho, I didn't go to the wrong door, right?" When you go outside, you will find that this place is shining. I thought it was haunted, it turned out that Lord Fang was making a fortune in a muffled voice Fang Zheng was full of excitement, and hurriedly smiled: "His Royal Highness the King of Thailand is serious, I just checked a few on the Internet." Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, these are all dirty silver that has been confiscated, well, very dirty silver.
The King of Thailand blinked and smiled: "What corrupt official has such a big hand? This room full of gifts adds up to millions of taels, right? ”
Fang Zheng smiled: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, these are all sent by the prefects of the Seven Prefectures in Jiangnan,"
The King of Thailand was taken aback: "Then you just said that you investigated a few corrupt officials, could it be them,"
"Yes, I ordered them to be locked up, huh! Looting so much people's fat and people's ointment, he is simply the scum of the court, and he is not as good as a beast! ”
The King of Thailand was shocked: "Lord Fang, Brother Fang, do you mean that you will serve the prefects of the Seven Prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, uh, all in one pot?."
"yes, what's wrong?" Fang Zheng didn't know why.
The King of Thailand was a little anxious: "What's wrong?" This, the prefects of Jiangnan have let you arrest you, who will handle government affairs? Who will soothe the nations? Their ears are the chief of every province
"It's okay, I have already made arrangements, the day before yesterday I sent someone to the Ministry of Officials, and urgently dispatched alternate officials to Jiangnan to take over their positions, calculate the time, it's almost here" King Tai's eyes flashed a little complicated, and then turned his head to look at the house full of dazzling gifts, and hesitated:
"Then these gifts, do they have to be handed over to the state treasury?"
Fang Zheng immediately became nervous: "Who said that it would be handed over to the treasury?" It's mine! It's all mine! ”
"Huh?.
"This is all a little local product that they honor me, is it necessary to hand it over to the national treasury? Besides, it's not easy for me to make a few hard-earned money, and you can't bear to see me go back to the capital empty-handed, right? ”
Is this "hard-earned money?" "The King of Thailand's eyes are straight, and the blood and sweat are blood and sweat, but it doesn't seem to be your blood and sweat, right?
Fang Zheng's eyes rolled, pulling the sleeves of the King of Thailand, and the two walked out of the warehouse, waiting for the guards to lock the door of the warehouse and gather outside the warehouse, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his head to look at the King of Thailand, Fang Zheng smiled lightly: "The rules of the rivers and lakes, those who see it have a share, since I am unlucky today, I was met by you, and I am not a person who eats alone, let's go, I invite you to drink flower wine,"
"Drink flower wine?" The King of Thailand was a little embarrassed: "Brother Fang, I'm not a casual person"
"Nonsense, I'm not a casual person either! We are all upright men and gentlemen. Drinking flower wine is only for the sake of chanting the wind and singing the moon, and expressing the feelings of loyalty to the country"
The King of Thailand was full of black lines: "Brother Fang, it's just a flower wine, can't I go?" There's no need to tout our image so high, right? ”
Fang Zheng affectionately hooked the shoulder of the King of Thailand and said with a smile: "Let's have a good chat, Brother King of Thailand, your temperament has changed a lot recently, I think you are a little strange, today we have to dig out our hearts and get acquainted with it again"
The expression of the King of Thailand remains unchanged. Still laughing, "Oh? Have I changed a lot lately? Maybe I've been visiting friends too often lately, and I'm a little pedantic, I'm ashamed, so let's go to Suzhou to find the best Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Suzhou, and have a good chat, hehe, "Great!" Hey, on the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach, what does this poem mean, you have to help me find this year's light and beautiful girl to teach me later,"
One to a flat does not count the number of words......
The state is not good, I sat down for a long time, but I couldn't hold back half a word, so I had to be a little less code today and leave some time to think.
Last night, I re-read the chapters I posted, and found that in the past twenty chapters, the pace of plot development has slowed down, and I have reviewed it deeply, and I will pay attention to speeding up the pace in the future, so I have written nearly three-quarters of the book. Seeing that it is about to reach the final stage, you can't drop the chain at this time, otherwise the evening festival will not be guaranteed."
