"In addition, we can't let Qin Lao Wu be idle, we have to find something for him to do. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wen Yanbo twisted his beard and groaned: "It's better to make him anxious, and he doesn't have the heart to care about anything else." ”

Maybe there is no need to return the bribe, Wen Yantao's thinking is extremely excited, scratching the thinning hair on the top of his head, and grinning: "Yes, this kid still has a life lawsuit on his back, and he was far away in the military camp and couldn't do it." Now that I'm back, I should go to Qin Shouzhuo's place to drink the old man's tea a few times, right? ”

Wen Yanbo nodded and instructed softly, "Don't push too hard, beware of dogs jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

Wen Yantao rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "Damn, if he wants to be anxious, he can't jump off the wall in a hurry." The outside is scorched and the inside is tender, and the requirements are really high. ’

Wen Yanbo had already figured out the problem at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the tax department to go to his restaurant, Qinglou, gambling house, rice shop, carriage and horse shop to check the accounts, be frequent, don't be afraid of trouble." ”

Wen Yantao said with a smile: "For those petty officials, this is a good opportunity to eat and take cards, how can they be afraid of trouble?" ”

saw Wen Yanbo shaking his head and said: "It's okay to eat and drink, but you can't arrest and beat people, and you can't smash and rob people, you must give orders and repeat orders." As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and sipped his saliva and said, "You can't provoke Qin Yutian too much, as long as you make him dizzy." ”

Wen Yantao had no choice but to smile bitterly.

After negotiating this matter, Prime Minister Wen Cheng remembered to summarize the results of these days, and asked softly: "Wei Tai, how many times will you be from the same Jinshi in the past few days?" What is the harvest again? ”

Wen Yantao said with a smile: "The eldest brother and Mingli haven't counted yet, I have eighteen there, and the silver is 800,000 taels." "For the Wen family, the first three people are the result of mutual compromise between various forces, and there is no direct benefit; The second and thirty people are also linked to power, and they cannot be obtained just by having money, most of them involve the exchange and distribution of interests, and the money they really receive is also gone.

It was Prime Minister Wen who worked the 'top three', and turned the 'leftovers and cold burning' that had always been left to the scholars of the Shu clan into a cash cow for his Wen family. The semi-public sale of the identity of 'Tong Jinshi' made many rich and uneducated rich families overjoyed and chased after each other, although the year was different, and the price was slightly different, but each Tong Jin Shi could sell at least 30,000 taels.

Later, seeing that the supply exceeded demand to the point where there was no market, Prime Minister Wen Cheng increased the number of top three from 100 to 200 in the name of recruiting talents.

It would be nice to change Dabi to once a year. The Wen family, who counted the money and had cramps in their hands, often sighed.

Hearing Wen Yantao's report, Wen Yanbo bowed his head slightly and said: "Good job, my side is twenty-two, about one million taels of silver." ”

Wen Yantao opened the list presented by Wen Mingli with a smile, and his face suddenly changed color: "Fifty-two? Why so many? ”

Wen Yanbo also sighed in his heart, and said in a lost voice: "No, I asked him yesterday and said that there are not many ......" leaned over, took the list in Wen Yantao's hand, and looked at it carefully for a moment as if admiring the flowers, and then put down and said: "This kid is stupid and stupid......"

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Let's say that Uncle Ni Ba Ni, who had bought a Tongjinshi county order with all his might, left the Prime Minister's Mansion happily, sat cross-legged on his donkey cart, and drove to the south in person.

Out of Dongcheng, Uncle Ni looked back and didn't find anything abnormal, so he couldn't help muttering softly: "You don't pay attention to me too much." He let the donkey cart wander outside for half an hour, laughing loudly and teasing a few old women passing by.

When it was dark, I asked for a bowl of knife-cut noodles at a noodle restaurant on the side of the road, and I ate and drank happily. Then he drove the donkey cart off the avenue and into the alley, twisted and turned in the spider-like street for a while, and drove into a house.

The guys in the courtyard hurriedly grabbed the car, and Uncle Ni jumped down from the car, closed the door, and whispered, "Stare at the balls." "It's an authentic Zhongdu official dialect. A few capable workers agreed in a low voice, and then climbed the wall of the house, vigilantly monitoring the surroundings.

Ni Ba went straight into the room at the west end, and pushed the firewood stack in the corner of the house, revealing a hole in the ground the size of a cylinder mouth. Tightening the burden on his waist, he jumped into the hole, and his hands and feet were as easy as a young man.

He took out the fire fold and shook it, and with the light the size of a chrysanthemum bean, Niba took the oil lamp from the wall, lit it, and went deeper into the cave. After walking for a quarter of an hour, a spiraling staircase appeared at his feet. After a while, they came to the end, and under the light, they were surrounded by circular walls, as if they were under a dry well.

Hold the rope hanging down from the hole and pull it hard a few times, and there will be a dull 'bump' sound. After a while, the lid on top lifted, revealing a palm-sized piece of night sky. Niba then tied the rope around his waist and pulled it twice, and there was a creaking sound from it, and he was lifted up. This is indeed a dry well.

After going up, he smiled with a few black-clothed people and asked softly, "Where are the adults?" "It's in the house." A man in black replied in a whisper.

Ni Ba hurriedly went over and knocked on the door of the house, and after getting permission, he gently pushed the door open and said respectfully, "My lord." ”

"You've worked hard." Under the dim candlelight, Shen Bing's pale and emaciated face looked even more defined. "Sit down."

Niba replied softly, "Serve the prince." Only then did he sit down on the next stool, and looked at Lord Shen who was sitting with his head held high, no longer as vulgar and lazy as earlier.

"Sent things down?" Shen Bing asked in a deep voice.

Ni Ba nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's all gone." As he spoke, he unwrapped the blanket and presented the stack of notes inside to Shen Bing with both hands.

"Is there a clerk who guarantees you the documents of the Jinshi?" Shen Bing asked softly as he rummaged through the notes.

Ni Ba shook his head and said regretfully: "The subordinates want Wen Xiaoer to write it, but that kid obviously got the instructions, not to say that the brand of their prime minister's house is the best document, and he will never take the money and not do anything, and he will not give a guarantee for writing." ”

Shen Bing frowned slightly when he heard this, but immediately relaxed again, and carefully asked him about what he had seen and heard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and said in a calm voice: "Good job, continue to disguise, wait for orders, go back." ”

Niba bowed down and exited the door.

After he left, Shen Bing held the notes in his hand, lifted the curtain and entered the room, only to see a handsome young man leaning on the kang head, reading the text under the oil lamp.

Shen Bing stood solemnly and said, "Lord Wang, the fish has bitten the hook." This young man is Qin Lei, the king of Weilong County, who put down the book in his hand when he heard this, and said softly: "Lone has heard it, the effect is not very good." ”

Shen Bing nodded in agreement and said, "Just by the seal on the document, it is indeed impossible to directly bring down the Wen family. ”

Qin Lei's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Yes, it can't be direct, but it can be indirect." It's so clever to use it with one mind. Only then did he beckon Shen Bing to sit down, and said softly: "During this time, the Lone Society will ask the Garrison Division to send additional guards to the property in the capital, and you should also keep an eye on the dark place." ”

Shen Bing nodded first, and then asked in a low voice, "The prince expects the Wen family to make a move?" ”

Shaking his head, Qin Lei chuckled: "Guard the door first, and then move the camera, it's just the meaning of the question." The two of them carefully considered their next course of action, trying to take every possibility into account.

As soon as he and Le Buyi returned to Qinghe Garden that day, Qin Lei found Shen Bing and assigned him today's task. In just two days, Shen Bing locked up Ni Ba, who came from Longdong to bribe, secretly kidnapped him, and replaced him with his long-trained subordinates. then use that fake Niba as a nail and wedge it into the drama of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for what effect it will have, even Qin Lei, the initiator, can't say clearly.

The next day is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and Le Buyi wants to return to Jingshan Camp on this day, where their great efforts and hopes are condensed, and they are really not at ease after leaving for a long time.

Qin Lei naturally wanted to send it away, and the two rode out of Zhongdu with a smile. Seeing that he was about to leave, Le Buyi looked at Qin Lei fixedly and said, "The prince has already made up his mind?" "What Qin Lei and Shen Bing have done in the past two days, he is naturally clear.

Qin Lei smiled a little embarrassedly: "Not yet, just make some preparations first, once Mr. agrees, you can start, and you won't mess up when the time comes." ”

Le Buyi glanced at Qin Lei angrily, and said with a strange smile: "What if I resolutely disagree?" Could it be that the prince can take back his fate? ”

Qin Lei didn't look at him angrily, and said with the same strange smile: "Such a good plan, why do you disagree?" ”

Le Buyi shook his head, and said with a slightly more serious face: "The plan given by the prince yesterday, I have repeatedly deliberated all night, and I can only say that there are pros and cons......," after a pause, he still said sincerely: "The disadvantages outweigh the advantages." ”

"Oh?" Qin Lei asked solemnly, "Why is Mr. so pessimistic?" ”

"If you want to achieve great things through the ages, you can't be too superstitious about conspiracies, and instigating a boycott of the examination is always easy to be criticized." Le Buyi looked at Qin Lei with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Especially the scholars, if they taste it in the future, they will definitely regard the prince as a conspirator, so they will raise their eyebrows and throw themselves at your enemies. ”

Just listen to him word by word: "Don't easily offend the scholars at any time, although they are far from successful, they are more than enough to fail." ”

Qin Lei frowned and said, "Mr. really resolutely disagrees?" ”

Le Buyi smiled helplessly: "But I can't think of any better way." Said and praised: "For a deep-rooted old thing like Wen Yanbo, conventional methods really can't shake him. The fact that the prince could think of borrowing the general trend, arousing the anger of the people, and causing a monstrous wave to impact the big tree of the Wen family is the correct and only way of thinking. ”

Qin Lei smiled bitterly: "But I was confused by Mr., this method will do more harm than good for a while, and this idea will be correct and the only one for a while, will it work or not, or give a quasi-letter?" ”

Le Buyi said with a smile: "The prince is anxious, the student said this very clearly, saying that your thinking is correct, it is agreeing with you to use the people's will to deal with the Wen family; To say that your method is biased is to oppose your direct instigation to make trouble. ”

Qin Lei tasted it at this time, and asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that Mr. Fei has a method of indirect instigation?" ”

Le Buyi chuckled: "I'll take the prince to a place to see if I can have any inspiration." Then he led Qin Lei to ride his horse to the southwest.

An hour later, the team arrived outside a dilapidated village, looking at the ruins in the distance, Qin Lei muttered, "Hou Jiayi, what are you doing here?" When I looked closely, I saw that there were several smokes rising from the abandoned land that should have been deserted, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Who lives here?" ”

Le Buyi's face was not very good-looking, and his voice lost his usual banter: "Refugees." ”

"Refugees?" Qin Lei repeated, then urged the war horse and marched into the village, and Shi Dang hurriedly followed with the black-clothed guard. Le Buyi glanced deeply at Qin Lei's back before hitting his horse and chasing after him.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves alarmed the people in the village, and when Qin Lei arrived at the head of the village, he saw the ragged and withered man of No. 100 blocking the entrance of the village, holding some wooden sticks, stones and other objects in his hands, and he did not speak, but looked at Qin Lei and them quite unkindly.

Being regarded as an undesirable person, Qin Lei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Don't blame you, I just passed by Guizhuang and came in to beg for water." ”

The men were visibly relieved, and one of the older ones spoke up, "Do you really just drink a bowl of water?" ”

Qin Lei smiled and nodded, and said gently, "You still have to rest." "The people who blocked the entrance of the village separated left and right, and let Qin Lei and others enter the village.

In order to show that there was no hostility, Qin Lei turned over and dismounted, and walked in with the man who was talking, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the scene in the village......

But seeing that the rubble-strewn village was full of shacks, thatched haystacks and other small nests, one after another, connected inside and outside the nests, there were many men and women sitting or lying, seeing that the man led Qin Lei and them in, these people just glanced at it, and there was no more movement, and they were still sitting on the ground in despair, almost without a trace of life.

Although these people were dirty and couldn't see their original appearance, they could still see that there were not many old people and few children, and Qin Lei said in his heart: "It seems that they are all about to starve to death." Then he silently followed the man into a dilapidated house at the east end, which was still in good condition.

Shi Dang led the guards to surround the hut tightly, and in such a terrible place, he didn't dare to be sloppy.

The man settled Qin Lei and Le Buyi, who came in later, and was about to beckon someone to boil water, but was stopped by Qin Lei and said softly: "What's your name?" Where are the people? ”

The man glanced at Qin Lei suspiciously, but still replied honestly: "The villain's surname is Nan, and his single name is a passing word, but he is a native of Lanyang Mansion in Longyou Province. ”

Qin Lei nodded, and asked softly, "Did they all escape with you outside?" ”

Nan Guo shook his head and said: "There are Longyou, Longdong, and North, we were kicked out of Beijing a few years ago and gathered here." ”

Qin Lei said warmly: "Nanguo, you sit down first, I saw the situation in the village, and I couldn't bear it, you tell me what happened, and see if there is anything you can help." ”

Even a blind man can see that Qin Lei is extraordinary, the man trembled when he heard this, and knew that he had met a nobleman, so he knelt down with a puff, kowtowed vigorously and said: "Ask the big officials to rescue and give some food and bedding, we came over more than 2,000 years ago, and now there are 1500 or 600 left, and the old people and children are almost starving to death and freezing to death...... Even we young and strong people can't hold out for a few days!" The sound is like a cuckoo crying blood, and the smell is tear-jerking.

Qin Lei took off the jade pendant on his waist, handed it to Shi Dang and said, "Go to Mr. Guantao and ask for ten carts of grain and bedding, and deliver it before dark." "Because it is necessary to provide food and shelter for tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Jingshan battalion, the palace has sufficient grain, and there is no need to buy it, so it can be delivered quickly.

When Nan Guo heard this, he kowtowed like pounding garlic and cried loudly: "You are the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering...... and the refugees on the side are the same.

Qin Lei's forehead was bruised, and he said softly as much as he could: "You get up first, these things can only save the emergency but not the poor, and they won't last long." Tell me about your next steps......"
