(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) Thanks to the book friend Zhou Changlin for his reward~)

Yao Zhifu indulged in wine so much, there is only one possibility, that is, he knows that his career is over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Life must be happy, since the career is hopeless, if you don't indulge in wine and enjoy it, isn't it sorry for your years of hard work?

After analyzing the psychology of Governor Yao, Xie Shen had a plan. Such a utilitarian person, if he just follows the plan, may not get his attention.

Looking at the appearance of this Yao Governor's Mansion, he should have been a little impatient, Xie Shen didn't dare to procrastinate, and immediately gave his hand: "Your Majesty is working hard today, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But the students never thought that under the bright future, there were people who wanted to disrupt the rule of officials and pry the foundation of the Ming Dynasty! ”

After saying this, not only Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, but even Xiao Xiangshi, who had always been full of confidence, was frightened.

They had already discussed the matter before, why did Xie Shen come up and say such an irrelevant matter.

Xie Shen didn't play according to the routine, so he first put a hat on the characterization of the matter, in order to make the Yao Governor pay attention to this matter. Otherwise, if it drags on, the matter will definitely end up in the end. Judging from the way Governor Yao indulges in wine, he won't pay much attention to this matter.

Sure enough, Governor Yao heard Xie Shen say that someone in Shaoxing Mansion was disturbing the rule of officials and shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and he felt a chill down his spine.

But he was a little angry at the thought that it was from a teenage doll.

This son speaks so openly, what can rise to such a height in this Shaoxing Mansion?

"Tell me one by one!"

"Students obey!"

Xie Shen was overjoyed in his heart, Governor Yao had obviously attached importance to the case, and now as long as he told the story and then handed over the case, the matter could be completed.

"The mansion knows that there are people in Shaoxing City who privately mint copper coins!"

As soon as Xie Shen's words came out, Yao Wuben's face darkened.

Privately minting money is a big crime to kill the head, and anyone dares to be so arrogant?

"You're telling the truth?"

The corners of Yao Zhifu's mouth twitched slightly, and his body subconsciously leaned forward.

"The house is on top, and the students don't dare to speak up!"

Xie Shen replied without being humble or arrogant.

"This privately minted copper coin is the gambling house in the city!"

"Gambling house?"

Governor Yao was obviously a little surprised, the gambling house was not unusual, but it was a little difficult to understand that the gambling house privately minted silver money.

"You said they minted money privately, but is there any evidence?"

Xie Shen said lightly: "The government is wise, you only need to send someone to the gambling house to check, and everyone can get the stolen goods!" ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, gambling was strictly prohibited, but since the Chenghua Dynasty, the world has become extravagant, and various laws and regulations have become increasingly relaxed. The atmosphere of gambling became more and more popular, taking Shaoxing Mansion as an example, there were almost no gambling houses before the Chenghua Dynasty, but in the Hongzhi Dynasty, only Shaoxing Mansion opened three gambling houses.

These gambling houses are backed by local squires, so the county magistrate and the prefect also turn a blind eye, as long as they don't make any big trouble, they don't bother to care.

But this private minting of silver coins is definitely a big thing that pierces the sky, if it is spread out, the hat of Yao Zhifu's mediocrity will be worn.

"Come on, go to this Bosheng Ji gambling house to check, if it's true... As this virtuous man said, he locked the shopkeeper of this gambling house and the mansion back! ”

The officials of the government have long been accustomed to the inaction of the prefect, and his old man suddenly became thunderous, and these officials are indeed a little uncomfortable.

But after all, they ate in the yamen, and the Yao prefect ordered them to follow the order, and there was no need to ask questions.

The leader of the officials, with a dozen fast shift officials, received the tickets, and left the government office in the direction of the Boshengji gambling house.

This matter is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Yao Governor's Mansion, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to be realistic, and there is no need to count on the evaluation of the officials. But if he handles it well, not only will he not be reprimanded by the officials, but he may also get a first-class evaluation for his merits, and he will be transferred from then on.

The young man in front of him is the head of the county test, and he can be regarded as half a talent, so his words should be true, otherwise he is joking with his future fame.

Governor Yao had a faint expectation for this matter. Naturally, the gambling house has a background, but it is just some local squire and celebrity. These people are not officials, to put it bluntly, they are some famous old horsemen, and if they are offended, they will be offended, and the key is to see whether the offense is worth it.

After all, people have to pursue interests, and the biggest benefit for Yao Governor is, of course, the promotion of officialdom. Although Shaoxing is an outstanding person, he has stayed here enough, and he wants to become a Beijing official. It is said that Beijing is mixed with water, but he doesn't mind. If you don't even get mixed with a Beijing official in your life, Governor Yao will really end up depressed.

The shopkeeper of the gambling house is the king of Hades in front of the flat-headed people, but he can't even be counted as a ghost in front of the fast shift official who holds the card ticket. In less than a stick of incense, the shopkeeper of the Bosheng Ji gambling house was detained by a group of officials.

The shopkeeper of this Boshengji gambling house is surnamed Li Dan, about forty years old, with a wide forehead and a long face, but thick ears and starry eyes are a blessing.

But he couldn't laugh at all now, he had been drooping his head since he entered the hall of the mansion, and it was not until Governor Yao's mansion patted the hall that he raised his head excitedly.

Xie Shen said in his heart, this Yao Governor's Mansion will shoot the shocking wood at every turn, if the heart is not good, something will happen sooner or later.

"The person in the hall is the treasurer of Bo Shengji?"

Governor Yao cleared his throat and asked sharply.

Although gambling is no longer officially banned after Chenghua, the gambling house cannot be on the table after all, so Governor Yao did not mention the word gambling house.

The shopkeeper Li Dan fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "The little old man is the shopkeeper of Bo Shengji, and I don't know what he did badly to make the eldest master angry." ”

It stands to reason that the gambling houses all say hello to the county government, and the filial piety is not less than the silver on weekdays. Maybe Governor Yao didn't take the money directly from here, but the other chief officials didn't profit less. Therefore, without special circumstances, the fast shift officials will not come to lock people. But today, a group of public men came to the Boshengji gambling house with great momentum, first showed the cards of the government office, and then they were locked by Li Dan to the government office without saying anything. Since Li Dan became the shopkeeper of this Boshengji gambling house, where has he received such a bird's spirit. Therefore, as soon as he saw Governor Yao, he shook out all the grievances in his chest.

"This virtuous student said that you minted silver coins in the shop without permission, but is there such a thing?"

Yao Zhifu rubbed the corners of his forehead and said in a deep voice.

Li Dan looked startled, and hurriedly said: "This must be slander, the eldest master wants to make the decision for the little old man!" ”

"Chen Sheng, what can you find?"

The corners of Governor Yao's mouth raised slightly, and he glanced at the leader's servant.
