Chapter 54: Truth and Counterattack

It turned out that Wang Zhixian had already promised Master Lu that he would protect him as an official, but Xie Hong appeared and took away the position of the master book at once. He didn't dare to have any emotions towards Wang Zhixian, and as a result, Xie Hong became the target of the old man's resentment.

Brother can be regarded as lying down and being shot, Xie Hong pursed his lips, feeling that he was really innocent, and shook his head, this old man Lu is also quite worthy of sympathy. His sympathy didn't last long, and soon Xie Hong was furious, because Fang Jin talked about this conspiracy, and Master Lu's purpose turned out to be to cure Xie Hong for a crime of greedy ink.

Greed for ink is the corruption of later generations. In later generations, this crime was quite ordinary, but in the Ming Dynasty, even a historical novice like Xie Hong knew that it was powerful. Due to the humble background of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and his resentment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in the Ming Dynasty, the crime of embezzlement was second only to the great crime of rebellion.

Although after Zhu Yuanzhang, this crime is not as serious as when the country was founded, if the background is strong, it is generally just a dismissal. But Xie Hong was still afraid for a while, he didn't have a backstage, and Zhengde's backstage hadn't climbed up yet, if the old man succeeded, he would suffer a big loss.

This Lu Lao'er actually wanted to kill the young master, Xie Hong was shocked and angry, and he couldn't help but be ruthless in his heart, since this old man wanted human life, then don't blame the young man for being spicy.

It's just that...... How do you fight back? Xie Hong was worried in his heart, he could use his official position and force to subdue the Chen family, or he could use the other party's greed and ** to plot against the Gu family, but this old man Lu was troublesome. This person is Wang Zhixian's staff, equivalent to the secretary of later generations, dealing with him is similar to dealing with Wang Zhixian, and Wang Zhixian may not sit idly by.

Even Wang Zhixian to deal with it? Xie Hong quickly dispelled this idea, if he had climbed to Zhengde, it would be easy, but now, the county magistrate is the number one in the locality, equivalent to the county magistrate and secretary in later generations, and he can't clean it up now.

Otherwise, why don't you let Erniu take this old man to a place where no one is around? It's not good, Xie Hong is not soft-hearted, but this old man does not go out of the yamen easily, and the two have always had grievances, the old man died suddenly, maybe he will be suspicious. It's really troublesome, my brother is a craftsman, why do you always have to deal with these intrigues all day long.

Xie Hong had a headache.

"Adult ......"

Xie Hong pondered how to deal with Master Lu, and he lost his mind for a while, but the fierce intent that flashed in his eyes from time to time scared Fang Jin a lot. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Xie Hong speak, Fang Jin was very worried in his heart, so he had to call him tentatively.

"Huh?" Xie Hong reacted, there was still one kneeling here, although Fang Jin was also involved in this conspiracy, but he was also forced, and he was not much angry with him Xie Hong. This person's surname is already cowardly, and it is not surprising that he will give in if he is coerced and lured.

If this is not the case, how can I be scared like this by my brother casually? Xie Hong had the impression that this kind of deception was not very effective, and according to his expectations, at most he could determine the suspicion.

"My lord, although the villain has evil thoughts, please read it for the sake of the villain who hasn't done it yet, and spare the villain." Xie Hong was thinking about how to take revenge on Master Lu just now, and when he thought of the fierce wilderness, he was thinking about killing someone, so there was a little murderous aura in his voice. As a result, he just hummed, but Fang Jin was scared enough.

"You haven't done it yet, how can you say that?" Xie Hong's curiosity came up, and he wanted to make a ghost on the account, isn't it just a fake account? But these papers have been sorted out, and if you want to do something or something, shouldn't you have already finished moving?

"Huh?" Fang Jin was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "My lord, don't you know everything?" ”

"Uh......" Mr. Fang is also an old man, my brother cheated casually, and he was so convinced, the effect of this fraud technique is too good, right? Xie Hong was amazed, could it be that the people of this era are too simple, but why is that old man Lu so deceitful? Okay, it's just that my brother was careless and caused the king's qi to leak out.

"Ahem." Xie Hong coughed to hide his embarrassment, then with a serious expression, he said seriously: "Mr. Fang, this official is now giving you a chance to reform yourself, you have to take advantage of it." ”

This tone startled Fang Jin, and he hurriedly slapped himself and said, "Lord Xingjun...... No, Lord Xie, the villain lost his words. ”

"It doesn't matter." It turned out that it was the rumor that Xingjun went down to the earth again, Xie Hong suddenly realized, I said, brother is a craftsman, where did he get the spirit of a king. Alas, this feudal superstition...... Sometimes it's still a little useful, otherwise Fang Jin might not be so easy to confess.

"My lord, these are all instructed by Master Lu." Fang Jin affirmed the culprit again, and then explained: "He asked the villain to put all the arrears on the adult's head, and the adult saw everything, and the villain didn't dare to cheat, but just put those arrears in one place, and then recorded them in the main account book together." ”

Xie Hong, who was discerning, actually didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask questions at this time, so he had to pretend to understand, nodded slightly, and said "um" softly.

"My lord, in fact, ......" Otherwise, Fang Jin has such and such problems, but he really knows everything about these documents and accounts. Listening to his detailed explanation, even Xie Hong, a layman, understood that if it weren't for this thing falling on his head, Xie Hong would have been amazed.

It turned out that Fang Jin did not make the slightest change in the documents and data, but only converted the accumulated deficit into a period and attributed it to Xie Hong's tenure. As long as Xie Hong signed his name to express his approval, then Master Lu only needed to check the accounts once suddenly, and he could attribute the crime of embezzlement of ink to Xie Hong.

In other words, the so-called trap is only the one step that makes Xie Hong sign and draw. Xie Hong also broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and his heart was lucky, the old saying that interlacing is like a mountain is not a lie.

Then, Xie Hong hated Master Lu even more in his heart, this old man was extremely vicious, and there was even a backhand left in the conspiracy, that is, if Xie Hong didn't take the bait, then let Fang Jin sign it on his behalf, because Fang Jin still has the ability to copy other people's fonts.

Looking at Fang Jin, who had finished confessing, and then kept asking for guilt like a kowtow worm, Xie Hong shook his head very much, this person has knowledge and experience, but this surname is too bad. I originally wanted to really take this person for my own use, but is this kind of heart...... Forget it, he can betray himself once, it's hard to guarantee that he won't in the future, my brother doesn't want to leave a time bomb by his side.

But...... Xie Hong's eyes rolled, thinking about it, he couldn't be used as a confidant, and it was okay to use it temporarily. What is the situation now......

The problem is just on that signature, but it happens to be used for this Mr. Fang, that's right, if you want to clean up Master Lu, it will fall on him.

"Mr. Fang, get up. Today's matter knows that you can't help yourself, and you don't care, as long as you don't take an example. Xie Hong said indifferently, and then stretched out his hand to stop Fang Jin, who was in ecstasy, from speaking, and said, "However, you also have to do one thing for this official......"

"The adults just give orders, and the villains will never give up."

"You don't need to die, you just need to ......," Xie Hong commanded with a smile.

Although Lord Xie no longer pulled his face, Fang Jin was still very uneasy, because the smile on the adult's face felt weird no matter how he looked at it. Not to mention, such a request...... His hair was also standing on end, and he said in his heart: "This adult really can't be provoked, it's terrible, he actually made such a request to himself, a person who is dozens of years old, he really hasn't done such a thing." ”
