99429 Chapter 313 Solicitation of bribes

After showing another dark circle under his eyes, even Fang Zheng felt that everyone was worried

A big girl who has not been out of the cabinet, you touch it to take advantage, even if you want to touch it a second time. You shouldn't ask in front of others, who is not anxious with you? Fang Zheng covered his eyes and sighed bitterly.

I knew it was so. I should have sneak attacked, and after touching it, I ran away, taking advantage of it. It gave her pleasure again, and her happiness is my happiness, how good.

Han Yizhen sat on the stone bench on one side, his beautiful face was uncertain, he gritted his teeth and glared at Fang Zheng angrily, and then he was shy, looking at Fang Zheng who sighed and couldn't help laughing, Bai Zhe's face was full of blush at this time, I don't know whether he was ashamed or smiling.

Holding his eyes with one hand, he beckoned to the pavilion with the other.

Wen Sen immediately kicked up and bowed at Fang Zheng: "My lord, what do you command?" ”

Sighing before speaking, Fang Zheng said with a bitter face: "Write a note to the emperor in the capital, write the matter of Li Boyan, the prefect of Suzhou, and ask the emperor to decide." Also, write the progress of this case into it, and by the way, write in the fold that Ben Qin is desperate to solve the case, too heroic, and his face is swollen like a pig's head when he was beaten, please ask the emperor to reward me with several million taels of silver as medical expenses, if I can change people halfway. Let me go back to the capital to recuperate, and it will be even better

Han Yizhen sneered when he heard this, then tightened his pretty face again, and snorted softly.

Wen Sen glanced at Han Yizhen with a difficult face, and said in a low voice: "My lord", isn't this a bit inappropriate? Li Boyan's matter is just the beginning of the whole case, and it was sent so early. Will the emperor think that the Jiangnan tax case is too easy, if the emperor replies to us to solve the case within a time limit, we will be passive,"

Fang Zheng waved his hand indifferently, and said earnestly: "Old Wen, you have to have a few more eyes in everything." You can't just bury your head in things, you have to raise your head often, the face of the division, whether things are done beautifully, whether you do it well or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, it's up to your boss to have the final say, so. You have to observe the look of the boss at all times, the boss is happy, you will continue to do it, the boss is angry, quickly change the way of doing things, ask for instructions in the morning, report in the evening, this is all necessary, in the officialdom, these things can not be understood

Wen Sen thought for a moment, and then showed a sudden expression of realization, and he didn't know if he really understood, or if he simply agreed with Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "This place is not far from the capital, after the fold is handed over, within two days, the emperor should have a will to come down, and after the emperor's will comes down, you will invite all the prefects of the other six prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River to Suzhou City in the name of Ben Qincha, and say that Ben Qin is following the usual practice." Please go to Suzhou to report on your work,"

After thinking about it, what if those prefects didn't dare to come? Fang Zheng thought for a while, and then added: "The official document implicitly mentions it, just say that Ben Qin is tired of traveling and can't afford to travel far, if you want to honor Ben Qincha, you should bring things yourself." Ben Chin has always been approachable and does not refuse to come. Hey

What are corrupt officials afraid of? Of course, he was afraid of Qing officials, but now Lao Tzu is clearly an official who is more greedy than them. They will be so happy that they will take me as their own father, so why should they not come? Lao Tzu received the red envelope. Achieved the goal again, killing two birds with one stone, it's really a, genius,,

Vincent nodded and wrote them down one by one, thought about it again, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Fang Zheng with adoring eyes. Excitedly: "My lord, high! ”

"Oh? Where does Gao come from? Fang Zheng stared at Vinson with a radiant expression, waiting for his sycophants to be sent in a steady stream.

"Concentrate the prefects of the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River in Suzhou City, investigate and interrogate them one by one, and always find clues. and avoid being killed by the people behind the scenes, my lord is really clever! ”

Vinson's string of clever and powerful sycophants. Fang Zheng was dizzy, and looked up to the sky and smiled: "Wowhahahaha, it's over, it's over." It's not modest to say that this is just a small skill of carving insects. Nothing. Hehe, the official's IQ is as high as one hundred and eighteen, so it is naturally easy to solve cases. People all over the world say that I have the talent to stabilize the country. It seems that "

"It's true, it's true," Wen Sen answered at the right time, and the little old face was full of flattery.

Han Yizhen on the side couldn't see it, and interjected coldly: "I came up with this idea." ”

"Gah

The two big men who were touting themselves were like roosters who had been choked by the neck, and they choked together, bent over and coughed violently, and their faces turned purple with coughing, and they gasped for a long time before they evened their breath.

Straighten up and look at each other. The two big men didn't say anything very tacitly, one bowed down and wrote the recital, and the other stood in the pavilion facing the wind, as if nothing happened, facing the spring and mountains outside the pavilion full of agitation, with a worried face of the world, and the performance was very serious.

At the same time, in a remote and dark house in the north of Suzhou, Yang Cheng knelt and trembled. The little finger of his right hand was tightly wrapped. But the blood stains still seeped through the gauze, and the gauze was red, which looked extremely scary.

The little finger was cut off by himself, which was the master's punishment for his incompetence.

Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold back the pain from his little finger.

His face twitched uncontrollably, and his face was already covered with beads of sweat, but he didn't even have the courage to raise his hand to wipe it.

"Say! How could it fail? That jar of poisonous wine is colorless and tasteless, and it can corrode people's internal organs in the mouth, but now Fang Zheng is alive and well, not a single hair is missing. Yang Cheng, is this how you do things for me? The master's voice was as eerie as ever, but today's gloomy tone was mixed with a bit of anger and dissatisfaction.

Yang Cheng trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly slammed his head on the floor and said in a small trembling voice: "Ten thousand deaths to my subordinates!" In fact, everything was arranged according to plan, but the problem was the little guy who poured the wine in the Han Mansion, and the little guy accidentally spilled a few drops of wine. Only after the defeat of the deeds did Fang Zheng rise through the catastrophe. His subordinates deserve death! ，

"Humph! Mine is a good look. It's ruined by you! I hate to break your body into thousands of pieces to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

Yang Cheng prostrate on the ground. I didn't dare to move, and the cold sweat on my body was like rain, and soon it was soaked throughout.

"It can kill Fang Zheng. And to be able to plant the charge of murdering Qin Cha on the head of the Han family, what a good strategy! Yang Cheng, you really deserve to die, you have made the whole thing more complicated! ”

Yang Cheng's face was like ashes. The pale face was filled with despair.

"Lord! Please spare your subordinates the next time, allow your subordinates to make meritorious contributions, and your subordinates will definitely cut off Fang Zheng's head with their own hands. Present before the Lord! ”

After this incident, Fang Zheng must become more and more cautious, and his surroundings are also more vigilant, how can he get in the way in a hurry? That's it, the assassination of Fang Zheng is put aside for the time being, we have more important things to do.

Yang Cheng finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord." The Turkic Khan king Mesi sent messengers asking for a meeting with the Lord. ”

Behind the curtain, the master was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "What conditions did Mo Si put forward to help me send troops?" ”

"He wants all the land, cities and people north of the Yangtze River in my Hua Dynasty, after the Lord ascends the throne, our Hua Dynasty army and Mo Si join forces to jointly exterminate the Gulu Khan, help him unify the grassland, and from then on the two countries will cease their troops and never say war."

"Humph! All the land cities north of the Yangtze River, silently sipping his big appetite! Yang Cheng, you go and tell the messenger that at most I will only give him Youzhou, if he doesn't agree, forget it, and it will not be easy to sip him on the grassland. Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and division is detrimental, he will understand this truth. ”

"Yes.

After a pause, Yang Cheng opened his mouth and asked, "Lord, that Fang Zheng is "small"

"Fang Zheng? Let him check, the tax money in Jiangnan has already been used by me as military expenses, and when he finds out, I have already joined forces with the Turks to attack the capital. Zhongguo Gong, hum! Look at how long you can be a loyal prince, if I ascend the throne as the emperor, the first thing I will do is to punish your Fang family! Small.

Two days later, the will of the Fat Emperor came down.

The will is very concise, first of all, he praised Fang Zheng for handling things properly, being impartial, not indulgent, and the fat emperor was under the great joy of the dragon's heart. A hundred taels of silver from the Fang Mansion is a small meaning. Then he ordered Fang Zheng to continue to investigate the tax case, dig deep into the root cause of the crime, and give Fang Zheng the right to arbitrarily make decisions, that is, to appoint, dismiss and even kill all military and political officials in the seven prefectures of Jiangnan, which is equivalent to giving Fang Zheng a sword of Shangfang, and it is necessary to clean up the officialdom in Jiangnan.

As for Fang Zheng's on-the-spot substitution, the fat man sternly refused. and brought a message to Fang Zheng, you can have entertainment after work, but you are not allowed to make other people's daughters' stomachs bigger. Otherwise, Changping will launch a surge, and the consequences will be very serious, Luo Yueniang will be a lesson from the past.

In the pavilion, Fang Zheng threw the holy decree on the table with a disdainful expression, and the corners of Wen Sen's mouth on the side were straight.

Holy decree, how many ministers have been officials all their lives and may not be able to get the will given to him by the emperor, who is not holding the holy decree to fight and fight, such as a treasure, as an ancestor, enshrined as an ancestor, left to future generations to worship and worship? Lord Fang is good, holding the holy decree as if he was a diaper. Mess around

"Reward the Fang family with a hundred taels of silver? Dead fatty, you're too embarrassed to say it." Fang Zheng waved his fist with an indignant expression: "Are you rewarding me or burying me?" I'll give you 10,000,000,000 taels for the treasury. I didn't blink an eyelid, and you gave me a hundred taels in turn? It's not enough to drink a meal of wine."

Wen Sen hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, it's enough to save a little, and your subordinates can drink a meal of flower wine for thirty taels."

"Shut up! Worthless guy! ”

Snorted dissatisfied. Fang Zheng suddenly laughed again, and his smile was extremely stubborn: "The dead fat man is stingy, this official document is very unusual." When the prefects of various prefectures saw the official document, their reactions were stunned and surprised.

The official document is very simple, after the Lord Qincha arrived in Suzhou, he was not satisfied with the water and soil. Your body is sick and not good at doing, but the errand of inspecting Jiangnan on behalf of the Son of Heaven always has to be done, so please ask the prefects of each prefecture to work partially, and bring all kinds of data under the rule of the government, such as the population of the people, land, merchants, agriculture and mulberry push, river management, etc., all of them will be brought to Suzhou, and then, Lord Qincha will pretend to flip it over, and by the way, a few words of confidant words with the prefects of each prefecture, everyone will eat and drink happily. Let's go. It's a scene, that's all it takes to inspect Jiangnan, hello, I'm good, everyone.

This is nothing, mainly the last sentence of the official document, which made the prefects of various prefectures dumbfounded.

The last sentence really had the finishing touch: Ben Chin had worked hard day and night for the country and the people, so much so that he was tired at work. Such a conscientious, hard-working and honest Lord Qincha is really a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people. So, do you prefects also express their expression? You don't have to give too much, 8,000 taels per person, and Lord Qin will take it to buy medicine to replenish his body."

After reading the official document, the expressions of the prefects of each prefecture were almost identical, Leng Leng sat still, his face kept twitching, and he looked like he wanted to cry and laugh, as if he had been clicked, and he couldn't move for a long time.

Qin Cha fell ill, please recommend the governors to Suzhou to report on work, this is nothing to say, from ancient times to the present, which dynasty and which generation of the public dared to blatantly ask for bribes? Moreover, as if he was afraid that the prefects of the prefectures would not understand, he even wrote the specific amount of silver to be sent, "If the official document of the Wai Dao is known to the court." Lord Qincha is not afraid of being dumped, "Kanmo Xingzi drowned?

The prefects thought about it carefully and couldn't help but start laughing again.

None of them had seen Fang Zheng. However, Fang Zheng's reputation is like thunder, and there have long been rumors in the court in Beijing that this Lord Fang is an out-and-out corrupt official, and he is insatiable. It can be said that the geese have plucked their feathers and the dung has tasted. I didn't expect the rumors to be true, and I dared to ask for a bribe on the official document, this Lord Fang is probably the first person in the past, right?

However, this is a big deal for the prefects of the five prefectures who are suspected of the Jiangnan tax case.

Originally, they were worried about Fang Zheng's inspection of Jiangnan, "I can't be in fear all day." They know in their hearts how much tax money they are greedy. If Fang Zheng found out, it would not be enough to cut his head a hundred times, so when they knew that Fang Zheng had gone down to Jiangnan. I just feel that the end is approaching, and I just count down my days every day, and I can live one day at a time.

But Fang Zheng's official document was like seeing the sky through the dark clouds, and after the prefects pondered it carefully, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turns out that this Lord Qincha is also a corrupt official, so this matter is much easier. What are corrupt officials most afraid of? Of course, those nets are right. A clean official with two sleeves and a clean air, a capable official. Judging from the official documents of Lord Fang, it is obvious that Lord Fang has nothing to do with the word "incorruptible", and now this Lord Fang has just not beaten the gong and drum to tell them that he is also a fellow believer, what else do these prefects have to worry about?

Big corrupt officials come to investigate small corrupt officials. What can be found? Except for Lord Qincha's full return, there will be no change in Jiangnan officialdom at all.

At the moment, the prefects no longer hesitated. The big car and the small car were filled with expensive and rare gifts, and they set off on the same day, full of joy, and went straight to Suzhou.

There are exceptions.

After reading the official document, Li Huaide, the prefect of Jiaxing, sighed obscurely, didn't say anything, brought a few entourages, didn't bring any gifts, and went on the road alone.

Two days later, the prefects of the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, except for Li Boyan, the prefect of Suzhou, who was imprisoned, the other six prefects gathered in the yamen of the prefect of Suzhou and gathered with Lord Qinchafang. Corrupt officials of all sizes celebrated and congratulated together, lamenting that they had not been beheaded for many years of corrupt officials, and everyone couldn't help but sigh, and praised our emperor's wisdom and martial arts in unison, and sincerely wished my emperor long live long live, long live long live, and they themselves could be greedy for 22,000,000 taels,"

Only Li Huaide, the prefect of Jiaxing, hung his head silently, looking gloomy.

The prefects seemed to know something, and they kept a certain distance from him, and their eyes looked at him with a little hostility and disdain.

The prefects respectfully presented the gift list, Fang Zheng took it, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was impatient to do even the polite etiquette on the surface, and he couldn't wait to run to the warehouse where the gifts were stacked in the back hall of the yamen.

The treasury was glittering with gold, and the mountains of rare gifts came into Fang Zheng's eyes. It made him dizzy and almost carried away. The man pounced.

"It's all for me?" Fang Zheng's eyes were bubbling with small stars, and even his eyeballs were glowing with a faint green light.

"Yes, yes, the adults work hard for the country and the people, and the commissions are too hard, and the lower officials are moved by the selfless dedication of the adults who are not self-interested and specialize in benefiting others, so "

"Okay, okay, just send the heart, don't talk about sycophancy, it's disgusting, aren't you disgusting?" Fang Zheng stared at Ruzhi without blinking. of gold and silver jewelry, absent-minded Tao. "Uh, sort of."

Seeing Fang Zheng's obsessive appearance, the prefects couldn't help but glance at each other, showing a little happy smile, and tacitly acknowledging each other.

"Wahahaha, this official loves the people like a son, every time he goes to a place, he must taste the local specialties, in order to observe the people's feelings, and care about the people's suffering, well, the local products sent by the adults are very distinctive, enough for the officials to taste a look, thank you, hehe, thank you"

Native? Glittering souvenirs? The prefects looked at each other, and their hearts became more and more convinced, no wonder this Qin Cha became a second-grade member at a young age, and it seems that he does have the ability to divide Dan, not to mention anything else, just the thickness of this cheek. Everyone is out of reach.

Only Li Huaide, the prefect of Jiaxing, was full of worry, faintly with a little anger, looking at Fang Zheng, who got carried away and looked up to the sky and laughed. He pursed his lips a few times, and finally sighed deeply. Shaking his head, he didn't say anything.

Fang Zheng rubbed his hands and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are so polite, this official is really ashamed, hehe"

The prefects hurriedly slipped away: "No shame, no shame, the ancients said: there is a golden house in the book, everyone is from a big family, the official residence: product, you are a prince, and of course you should live in a golden house"

I was embarrassed. Fang Zheng looked at the mountain-high gifts in the fat warehouse, and said shyly: "Adults say very reasonably" However, if this thing is to build a golden house, the materials seem to be a little less, what do you think? ”

The prefects were shocked, this minister was too shameless, right? I sent you so much, and each person spent more than 100,000 taels of silver, you are still not enough, how big is your appetite?

Looking at each other left and right, the prefects gritted their teeth, and reached a consensus in their eyes.

Keep digging it, if you don't dig it, Lord Qincha will be very unhappy, and he will be unhappy. The consequences are very serious, not to mention anything else, the case of the tax alone. That's enough for them to drop their heads a hundred times.

The prefects forced a smile, their faces twitched, and they each took out a thick stack of silver tickets from their arms and reluctantly handed them over.

Fang Zheng took the silver tickets, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, one by one, "Like the security guards who collected the tickets, he took the silver tickets sent by the prefects into his arms one by one."

Affectionately hooking the shoulders of the prefects, Fang Zheng smiled as kindly as a blessing from a heavenly official: "Is there anything else?" ”
