Chapter 281 - Audit (11)
"You mean... The false accounts of the salt tax and the evidence were not burned? β
"What, you've been disappointed?"
Luo Yi asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Shengqing laughed twice and said: "How can it be, how can I be disappointed, I'm happy, it's good that the evidence hasn't been burned, we can follow the vine and catch those merchants who missed the salt tax." β
"If you know, it's good."
After a pause, Luo Yi said: "The government is burned down, it must be repaired, and it costs money to repair it; Lord Changshi, where are you going to find the money to fill this hole? Is there still Yangzhou Mansion? β
Wu Shengqing chuckled and said: "Master Hou, I have already thought about this, the fire in the government is an accident, when you ask the Ministry of Household Funding, you can rest assured, I will go to Chang'an later, and within two months, the government will be able to start construction." β
Luo Yi said: "I don't think it's necessary." β
"The government was burned down, and it is not a happy event, so there is no need to report it, for the time being, as for this money, I personally pay out of my pocket, count it as mine; I have already sent a letter to Chang'an, and I will be able to send the money in half a month, so you can find someone to start repairing it. β
Luo Yi's financial resources and magnanimity, Wu Shengqing already knew, but he didn't expect Luo Yi to be so generous, and he directly agreed to repair the mansion, this is not a small amount, not hundreds of thousands of taels, if you don't move, you will get tens of thousands.
Although I didn't know what Luo Yi's idea was, Luo Yi was able to promise to come up with such a large sum of money, which really surprised Wu Shengqing, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, you are really... It's so magnanimous, I'm convinced. Good, good... The lower officials listen to you for everything, and they must fix the government as soon as possible. β
Luo Yi nodded.
Thinking of last night's incident, Luo Yi asked: "Lord Changshi, I almost forgot, what about Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhizhi, but you can catch it?" β
"Caught, of course caught."
Speaking of Fang Zhizhi, Wu Shengqing was still a little annoyed and complained: "This kid, I don't know where to find outlaws, none of them surrendered, and more than 100 people died in battle. β
"However, Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhi are soft bones, and after their subordinates are dead, the two of them will surrender."
It was completely in Luo Yi's expectation, if Fang Zhi and Fang Zhi were both hard, then there would be no soft bones in the world.
Luo Yi asked, "Then where are the two of them imprisoned now?" β
Wu Shengqing said: "Imprisoned in the post station, don't you know? β
"I don't know. Then I'll hurry back to the post station, and you don't have to worry about the two of them, and leave it to me. β
Saying that, Luo Yi was going to take Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong to prepare to leave.
Wu Shengqing seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "E... Little Hou Ye, this capture of the fugitive should be a great credit, how can you... β
"You want the credit?"
Luo Yi secretly laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, you will give the court a fold, just say that you captured the fugitives Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhizhi, and they have been executed in Yangzhou." But I can remind you that this is a merit or a demerit. β
"Executions? I don't dare. No matter what the two of them say, they are also grandfathers. β
Wu Shengqing thought about it and felt that what Luo Yi said was right, he was in a hurry just now, and felt that catching the fugitive was a great credit, but after thinking about it carefully, this credit is not so easy to obtain, the other party is a person with a big identity, in case he causes any trouble.
Besides, with Luo Yi's gun, he doesn't have the guts.
After pondering, Wu Shengqing shook his head again and again, and said, "Then forget it, how can the lower officials be embarrassed to rob you of your credit." β
Luo Yi smiled, didn't speak, took Zhao Wenyong and Zhao Wenxian, and walked towards the post station.
"I'm still thinking about the merits, I'll send you to see Hades in a few days..."
Zhao Wenyong laughed: "Big brother, that's a good thing, that kid is too ignorant of the sky, and he is still thinking about these at this time, if I were him, I should hide away." β
"Hide? He is reluctant to be prosperous and rich. β
Luo Yi said: "I have made up my mind, when the government is repaired, I will start arresting people, starting with the salt merchants, I don't believe it, I can't find out the salt tax!" β
Back at the post station, Zhao Wenxian asked: "Big brother, you told Wu Shengqing before that we still keep the account book, is it true?" I don't know. β
Luo Yi said: "I'm a tiger, I want to have an account book, why am I in such a hurry." β
"But it's okay if you don't have it, don't think about anything, just like you said, just arrest people, I don't believe in torture, there is no soft bone!"
Zhao Wenxian said with a smile: "That's right, in extraordinary times, you have to use some extraordinary means." β
Continuing the discussion, Luo Yi remembered the rules of Fang Zhi and Fang Yi, left the house, and walked downstairs, the post station also has a cell, although it is not big, but it is enough to hold two people.
The cell was set up behind the stable, and the three of them made their way to their destination.
The two soldiers in charge of guarding saw Luo Yi coming, and they opened the cell door without saying a word.
"You two, you're waiting here, I'll just go in by myself."
"Big brother, let me accompany you."
Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "What are you doing with me, I'm afraid I'm in danger?" Don't worry, this is a post station, and the two of them are locked up again, so they won't pose a threat to me. β
After speaking, Luo Yi entered the cell.
The light inside was not too dark, and I could clearly see everything inside, and Fang Zhi and Fang Yi were huddled in a cell, talking to each other.
Seeing Luo Yi coming in, the two stood up at the same time, and Fang Yi said straightly: "Luo Yi? You're finally here. β
"yes, I've come to see you."
Luo Yi said with a smile: "Fang Zhizhi, your two brothers are really big enough, and they haven't died until now." β
"To tell you the truth, I'm here to see you off for the last time today, how about it, enough friends..."
"You... You're going to kill us? β
The two looked horrified.
Who is not afraid of death, especially the rich, is even more reluctant to die.
Luo Yi smiled: "You have lived for many more months, and you are still not satisfied; In the fire in the Criminal Department, I had already given up on asking you for trouble again, but who would have thought that you would come to the door by yourself again, then I would not be polite. β
"Luo Yi, we're small, we grew up together since childhood..."
Luo Yi took out two bottles of black medicine from his cuffs, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, don't get close to me, whether we are small or not, only I know; Besides, if you have made a mistake, you deserve to be punished by the law, and it is not that I will kill you, but that you will not live because of your own iniquity. There are two bottles of poison here, both of which are the most poisonous Heding Red, and after drinking it, it will work immediately, and you eat it, and everything is gone. β
"Big brother, I don't want to die..." Fang Yi completely collapsed, clutching Fang Yi's straight hand. Don't look at his usual dog-like flaunting power, when it really came to a fatal moment, he also became a soft egg.
"Crying and crying, what do you think, shut up quickly."
Fang Yizhi calmed down a little, looked at Luo Yi and said: "Luo Yi, what I have is money, I can use the money to buy my life, you can make a price, I can give you as much as you want." β
"Hehe... You're naΓ―ve, aren't you? Money? Do you think I'm running out of money? β
Luo Yi really felt ridiculous, until now Fang Yizhi hadn't recognized his situation, could the grievances between the two be resolved with money. If it could be solved with money, there would be no criminal department.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, drink the medicine quickly, don't wait for me to let the soldiers feed you, you will lose face." Anyway, he is also a grandfather, don't embarrass the court. β
Fang Yizhi said with a cold face: "Luo Yi, no matter what I say, you won't let me go, right?" β
"Hurry up and drink, I'll have something to do later."
As he spoke, Luo Yi threw two bottles of medicine into the cell.
"Don't you think, I'll never drink it!"
Fang Yi stood up sharply and yelled.
Luo Yi was too lazy to argue with the dying person, it was meaningless, and finally looked at the poor two brothers, Luo Yi turned around and walked out of the cell, and at the same time as Luo Yi walked out, Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong entered the cell together, and only came out after a long time.
"Handled?"
"Well, don't worry, Master Hou, the dead can't die anymore."
Luo Yi nodded, but did not leave immediately, but turned back and looked at the two dead brothers again.
It's not that he doesn't trust Zhao Wenyong and Zhao Wenxian, but that he doesn't see the corpses of Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhizhi with his own eyes, and Luo Yi can't let go.
After entering the cell, Luo Yi clearly saw that Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhizhi were already dead, their facial features were bleeding, and they were lying on the ground very miserably.
"It's finally dead, and it's okay to have a wish of mine."
Luo Yi said: "Find someone to bury the two of them and bury them together, but they are not allowed to erect tombstones." β
"Yes."
Zhao Wenxian replied.
