Chapter 179: No strange person who killed himself
The county Cheng Luowei and the chief bookkeeper Zhao Ming have been the second officials in Anqiu County for many years, and they have made a lot of money, and they even bought a big mansion in Qingzhou Mansion, but they usually stay here and refuse to move. However, the two of them, who had made up their minds to die of old age here, were now all urgently packing their things, and had already prepared for the worst.
Even if Zhang Yue is dissatisfied with their escape, it's a big deal that they are not the official, won't this be over? Besides, no matter how hard this backer is, the civil and military forces are not allowed, can he put his hand into the Ministry of Officials or the Metropolitan Procuratorate? This White Lotus Sect can't clean up the imperial court, and it may not be a glorious credit to clean it up, rather than being thrown out as cannon fodder by Zhang Yue, of course, thirty-six plans will go up!
Of course, the two of them didn't just talk about Zhang Yue's confiding in the White Lotus Sect, so they only made up their minds to leave immediately. But there is a way is not enough greed, they have been in Anqiu County in front of the county master for the past seven or eight years, although they have bought a field house outside, but they never thought that they would leave here so soon for a while, so this time they can't get up quickly no matter what.
Now the treasure money is as cheap as a day, and the copper money is not worth a few dollars, so the two of them have exchanged their ordinary income for gold and silver, or exchanged for other valuable things, which is more than a few large boxes. The ladies of the main house of the two families were not happy to go, and when they couldn't grind their husbands, they insisted on taking the bulky but valuable guys in the family. Luo Wei and Zhao Ming thought that they would have no future in the future, so they could only be a rich man, and they agreed to be a wealth obsessed with money.
So, originally just closed the door and packed up things, but in an instant, there was a lot of commotion, and for a while, the officials and servants in the entire yamen knew about it.
There are almost no honest people who can be on an errand in the county office, and they can think about it one by one. Especially some old errand servants who have eaten yamen meals all their lives, seeing several county magistrates leave. The history of the county master book stands tall; Seeing that Zhang Yue has not been in office for even a month this time, it is these two people who have left, who does not mutter in their hearts, and who has no calculation in their hearts?
After inquiring about the details, those who were still hesitant immediately chose their positions. When the bright side ascended to the church, he was energetic one by one, and he did things more neatly than the other; Privately, none of them sent charcoal to the two to see off the ceremony, but on the contrary, they all went to Zhang Yue to show their loyalty, and most of them naturally fell into the well.
Especially in the gap between morning, noon and evening halls. The servants and officials who asked to see Zhang Yue actually lined up outside the three halls, and those who entered were trembling, and those who came out raised their heads and chests, as if others would not be able to see their pride.
As soon as a white-haired old official entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed three times: "Master, it was Luo Xiancheng who instructed the little ones to take leave and sick leave, and the little ones were old and young, so I don't dare to disobey his words." The small proficient money and food comparison. I must do a good job for my lord in the future. ”
A young errand officer covered with news was full of thoughts for Zhang Yue: "Master, this Luo County Cheng and Zhao Zhushu have been operating in Anqiu County for so many years, and they are all light. Their departure must be a great disaster, and the lord must not let them go. ”
is in charge of the officer's room, and it is even more direct to be a small official in Luo Wei's hinterland. With a smile on his face, he took out a large stack of account books directly from his bloated clothes, which was exactly the scene that he had prepared: "Master, I have recorded some account books here, and I ask you to see if you can use them." ”
In just a few days. The posture of the group of demons dancing in the Yazhong of Anqiu County is not enough for outsiders. Even if Zhang Yue couldn't help himself, Luo Wei and Zhao Ming gradually became apprehensive, and they regretted that they didn't pack up and leave directly, but they listened to the mother-in-law at home and delayed the time by cleaning up those big guys. When they easily packed a large number of luggage, they had just left the big archway of the county government's Zhongyi Fang, but they saw Zhang Yue, who was wearing a dark cyan silk robe and a belt around his waist, standing there.
"Colleagues with each other, it stands to reason that as soon as Luo Xiancheng and Master Zhao leave at this time, I should send them away. Even if it is sent out of the county, it is also made. It's just that you have to say goodbye to sending you a thousand miles away, and now you should say goodbye. The movement of the two of them is not small, looking at the situation of these dozen or so big cars, tsk, the two of them don't want to think about what the people will say when they see it? ”
If Zhang Yue just said cool words, Luo Wei Zhao Ming's forbearance skills are extraordinary, so naturally he will not be angry because of this. However. I saw the row of sergeants with blue cotton armor and sabers behind Zhang Yue. Both of them gasped, and Zhang Yue said that he had a background in the army. So you have mobilized the army to get along with them?
As soon as Zhao Ming remembered the three words of the British Duke that the Qingzhou prefect said lightly at that time, his calves couldn't help but tremble, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he dared to say: "My lord, I did offend you with my eyes and eyes at the beginning, but don't forget, this private army intercepted the imperial court officials, this is a great crime!" ”
As soon as Luo Wei heard Zhao Ming say this, he suddenly straightened his waist, and his tone brought out a bit of threat: "This is in front of the public, and there are hundreds of people around, please don't make a mistake about yourself." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yue looked at the long convoy and dozens of people up and down the two families, and glanced at the people around him, and saw that many people's faces were filled with some indescribable excitement, but more people looked at him with a worried gaze, but his heart was also appropriate. At this time, he took a step to the side and just let out a man who looked like an officer behind him, still with a lovely smile on his face.
"I can't imagine that the two of you are still so considerate of the official, it seems that the official really wants to thank the two. Naturally, this official does not have the power to mobilize troops privately, and it is impossible for him to do so. This is Chen Qianhu of the Jinyi Wei Shandong Guard, it is said that he has detected the evidence of the corruption of the two people, and he didn't expect to come in a hurry to meet the two family members who are ready to go on the road, which is really a coincidence. ”
When Luo Wei and Zhao Ming heard Zhang Yue say that it was someone from Jinyi Wei Shandong Guard, the two of them first felt incredible, and then they felt that a basin of ice water was poured on their heads, and they wanted to cry without tears. The conscience of heaven and earth, how can they be able to alarm Jinyiwei?
The onlookers were also in an uproar at this time, and countless exclamations were blocked by a pair of hands when they just gushed out of their throats. It must be known that Jinyiwei is famous for being murderous, and even children can stop crying at night among the people, but the problem is that ordinary people have only heard of it and have never seen it. This time, Jinyiwei dispatched more than 100 people, and they actually came to arrest Luo Wei and Zhao Ming, two corrupt officials?
It wasn't until the group of wolf-like sergeants tied up and gagged people and pressed them into the prisoner car that the onlookers came back to their senses and burst into infinite cheers for a while, and more people cast their resentful eyes on the families of the Luo and Zhao families. Seeing that the group of men, women, and children were all escorted away, many children also picked up stones and chased them, laughing and jumping in their mouths, and finally even some adults joined the ranks, but Jinyiwei did not stop them.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue took a deep breath and calmed down the slight unbearability in his heart. This year is about both prosperity and loss, on weekdays, they follow Luo Wei Zhao Ming to pamper and enjoy blessings, once the pillars are unlucky, they all become grasshoppers on a rope, that's all. If he was set aside by these two guys, or simply ended up with that unlucky Qian Zhixian, he would at least not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life, and wouldn't it hurt his parents?
In this world, there are people who think they are wise and calculating, and there are also people who are good at advancing and retreating in order to understand the times.
Ma Cheng's previous words showed his heart nakedly, he knew that he was a little anxious, but according to him, Zhang Yue had just taken control of the power of the magistrate, and he needed the help of local experienced officials to help him come up with ideas about the situation, even if he was not a charcoal in the snow, but he was better than those two guys who were like hiding from the plague god. Moreover, he doesn't have many bad deeds, and he has always been very restrained in making money, and people should keep him for use in the county.
So, when Zhang Yue sent someone to inform him to see him off today, he naturally arrived, but at this time, standing in the cheering crowd, his legs trembled and he couldn't say a word, and he muttered the blessing of his ancestors a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart. Of course he thought that Zhang Yue would not let go of those two guys so easily, but who would have thought that other people's methods would be so ruthless?
A little person like Luo Wei Zhao Ming, can he still be released after entering Jinyiwei's prison?
He gulped in the cold air, but Ma Cheng still felt like his chest was on fire. It wasn't until someone stood in front of him that he came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed respectfully, and said, "My lord." ”
Zhang Yue looked left and right, and saw that some of the people went to chase after the Luo family and the Zhao family who were escorted away, and some were discussing in place, so he gestured to Ma Cheng and walked to the yamen. Ma Cheng had already regarded Zhang Yue as a murderous star at this time, where did he dare to disobey the slightest, and hurriedly followed. The two came all the way to the study, Ma Cheng signed diagonally and had not yet sat on the chair, and when he saw Peng Shisan coming up to cover the door, he felt a little difficult to breathe.
"You don't have to panic, if this Luo Wei and Zhao Ming are just greedy, they won't alarm Jinyiwei. There are a total of 10 patrol soldiers in this county, and a total of 30 soldiers in the straight hall and hall, and I only got a report from Jinyiwei yesterday, Luo Zhao and the two of them have forged documents in the past few years, falsely claiming that the weapons in their hands need to be replaced, and they have changed one hundred and twenty sets of weapons three times, but these weapons don't know where to go, this one alone is a capital crime, not to mention the private salt trading in Jiaolai. They are killing themselves, and your mistakes are just small mistakes, and there is no need to tremble. ”
Such a secret thing as the exchange of weapons and the resale of illicit salt was actually known to Zhang Yue? Luo Zhao and the others were doing things, Ma Cheng naturally heard some rumors, and at this time, he felt that his head was swollen for a while, and he was really worried about his own deeds. So, no matter what Zhang Yue said after that, he was all in a row, and when it was time to say goodbye and go out, he crossed the threshold and stumbled, almost falling into the mud.
