Chapter 62: Never turn over
When Xiao Er began to clean up the dishes and dishes, Li Feibai woke up from his dream, settled the account and went to the shop.
Li Daning has gone back to Wangwu Township with the mule driver and donkey driver, and Zheng Haoran has also gone home.
Li Feibai had just entered the shop, Hou Yanmin hurriedly came over and pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "There is a person in the yard!" ”
Li Feibai also said that it was Wang Wu's people who came to find trouble, his hands sank, and the two boning knives were already in his hands, and he walked backwards quickly. When I arrived in the backyard, there was a person kneeling in the courtyard, and I could see clearly through the candle flame on the stone table that it was not Wang Wu's person but Yang Zhen, the old man of Daxiku.
When Yang Zhen saw him come in, his waist, which was already kneeling very straight, straightened up again, and his two hands took turns fanning his mouth, and he said while fanning: "Please forgive me!" ”
Li Feibai couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He has no good impression of this kind of black-and-white collusion and oppression of good officials, and he can't wait to pick up this person and throw him out immediately. But you can stretch out your hand and not hit the smiling person, let alone someone kneeling there and slapping themselves. He said, "What are you like like this, get up quickly!" ”
Yang Zhen said: "I don't get up!" If you don't forgive me for a day, I won't get up for a day. If you don't forgive me for ten days, I won't get up for ten days. Until the prince forgives me. As he spoke, his hands did not stop, and after a while, the corners of his mouth began to bleed out.
Li Feibai looked at Yang Zhen, he was really hateful and angry, so he had to wave his hand and say, "I forgive you, let's go!" ”
Yang Zhen knelt there and still slapped himself, and said, "Gongye is angry with me, not sincerely forgiving, I don't get up." ”
Li Feibai didn't expect this person to be really persistent, and he didn't laugh angrily. He also knew why Yang Zhen came to him to beg for mercy, and said, "Okay, I forgive you, and I have already told Leader Ma, let him not trouble you!" ”
Yang Zhen got up at this time, put his swollen face on his face, and said: "Master Xie forgives, Master Xie doesn't remember villains." Son, the villain wants to invite you to drink, I wonder if you can enjoy it? ”
Li Feibai was displeased, and said secretly: "My boredom with you is completely written on my face, why are you so blind, and you still want to invite me to drink?" ”
Yang Zhen immediately sensed what Li Feibai meant, and said, "Master, Wang Wu doesn't know the height of the sky, and he wants to attack you." I know that if my son moves his little finger, he can make Wang Wu never turn over. can deal with a thief like Wang Wu, how can you do it, so I want to eradicate the scourge of Wang Wu for my son. I also hope that the prince will appreciate the light, and see how I uproot Wang Wu between talking and laughing. ”
Li Feibai was curious for a moment about how Yang Zhen, a little old man in the library, uprooted Wang Wu, and said "oh", "Let's go!" ”
Yang Zhen was very happy, and led Li Feibai to Tianxiang Building and walked into the private room he had already booked.
After five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, Li Feibai saw that Yang Zhen was just toasting frequently, and did not say how to eradicate Wang Wu, so he no longer drank with a cup.
Yang Zhen knew what it meant, looked out the window at the sky, and said, "Wait a minute, it should be almost!" As soon as the words fell, there were three knocks outside the door.
Yang Zhenxi said: "Son, here!" Then he shouted outside the door, "Come in!" ”
The door then opened, and a big man with a big waist entered.
Li Feibai looked at this big man, his hands immediately sank down, held the two boning scimitars in his hands, sneered, and said, "Oh, it turns out that it is still a Hongmen banquet." "The big man who came in was the same big man who went to his shop with Wang Wu that day to look for trouble.
Yang Zhen looked confused and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The big man with a big waist said: "I went to see him with Wang Wu. "After that, sit at the table and eat with chopsticks.
Yang Zhen understood, and said with a smile: "The prince has misunderstood!" He was not Wang Wu's man, but a scout I had sent over. ”
Li Feibai also stayed in Daming for a few days, and he mingled with Qian Zijun for a while, knowing that scouts refer to people in the army who spy on intelligence, and this should refer to undercover agents. Seeing the big man with big shoulders and round waist, he ate when he came in, without a trace of hostility at all, so he relaxed his vigilance, put away his knife and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yang Zhen pointed to the big man with big shoulders and round waist and said, "His name is Qin Meng!" He pointed at Li Feibai and said, "This is the son, Qin Meng, come and bow down." ”
Qin Meng arched his hand and said, "I've seen Gongzi!" With that, he began to eat again.
Yang Zhen saw that Qin Meng just arched his hand and didn't come to bow down, he didn't feel embarrassed, and said: "Although he is a servant I accepted, he has some means in his hands, and he usually doesn't take me seriously. In the final analysis, he is a rough man who doesn't know the rules, so please forgive me! ”
Li Fei and Bai Qin Meng begged himself like that in front of Wang Wu that day, and thought he was a soft egg who had not been planted. At this time, seeing that Qin Meng was neither humble nor arrogant to him, and heard Yang Zhen say that Qin Meng usually had an arrogant attitude, and sighed: "This is a big husband who can bend and stretch!" He said, "Good, good!" ”
Yang Zhen saw that Li Feibai said hello twice, without any sarcasm and sarcasm, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Qin Meng, don't patronize and eat, has the matter been done?" ”
Qin Meng said: "It's okay! ”
Yang Zhen said: "There is a tail!" ”
Qin Meng said: "The gods do not know what to do, and I also pay special attention on the way here, there is no tail." ”
Yang Zhen said: "What about things? ”
Qin Meng reached into his arms, took out an account book, and threw it over. Yang Zhen stretched out his hand to catch it, handed it over respectfully, and said, "With this thing, Wang Wu will never be able to turn over!" Childe, please take a look! ”
Li Feibai said: "I'm illiterate, what to see!" ”
Yang Zhen was stunned and said, "This is Wang Wu's account book." ”
Li Feibai knew that this account book was not the other account book, and deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Originally, you have to keep accounts to do business, and if you get the account book that he keeps, he will never be able to turn over?" ”
Yang Zhen said: "This is not an ordinary account book, but an account book that records which official he bribed to." Gongzi, please think about it, Wang Wu has lost his conscience, why can he still mix in Jiyuan City? It's not that he opened up the upper and lower joints! The officials were taken by him as a weakness, how could they not turn a blind eye? Moreover, he had already let out the wind that he had such an account in his hand, and the officials would not dare to touch him. This account is equivalent to his talisman, without this talisman, I am afraid that Wang Wu will not live tomorrow. Son, you listen to me read to you, who has received his money. ”
With that, he began to read, and this thought lasted for half an hour. What I remember is nothing more than a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, a certain time, where, and how much silver was given to which official.
Yang Zhen read it in great detail, and even his page was not separated, and he read it out honestly.
Li Feibai's teeth itched when he listened, Wang Wu, an old rascal, was really willing to put down his capital, and the bits and pieces of silver added up, I was afraid that there were only sixty or seventy thousand taels. And almost all the officials he knew were on the list. In addition to the imperial court officials, Ma Kun received the most gifts. However, this also proves from the side that Ma Kun is not hypocritical towards him, seeing that he is being troubled by Wang Wu, and regardless of his handle in Wang Wu's hands, he is desperate to help him, and he still has some true feelings for him.
From the bribes Yang Zhennian himself received, Li Feibai could also see that Yang Zhen was desperate to attach himself this time, otherwise he would not have automatically handed over the handle to himself.
Li Feibai took the booklet from Yang Zhen's hand and said, "This is a scourge, if it spreads, all the officials in the county will be imprisoned, so I should keep it properly!" ”
