"Bang!"

The sound of "dong dong" instantly attracted the eyes of the people around him.

The guards immediately dispersed, throwing the thing that had just made the noise on the ground.

When everyone looked over, they saw that several boxes had fallen to the ground, and the clothes in the boxes were scattered all over the ground.

At this time, Yang Yong, who was originally drinking tea in the hall, walked out, saw the two people around Wang Zhengxiang, and said with a smile: "The two adults are also here." ”

These two people were dressed in civilian official clothes, and they were both about forty years old, and when they saw Yang Yong bowing to the two of them at this moment, they immediately returned a salute, and one of them smiled and said: "Lord Yang is here, how can I not come." ”

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wang Zhengxiang, as the host, invited the three of them into the hall for tea.

Yang Xiaoyu hid behind the guards, and from his point of view, he could clearly see that the silver tickets were scattered on the ground, and from the perspective of Yang Yong and his party, the scattered things were all clothes, and there was nothing else.

"Wang Chong, hurry up and distribute the silver tickets and jewels to the guards." Yang Xiaoyu frowned, and suddenly said with a clever plan.

Wang Chong listened to Yang Xiaoyu's words, quickly stepped forward and picked up the silver ticket covered by his clothes, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver here, all in this box, everyone worked hard all night, let's divide the money!" ”

"Good!" The guards shouted and coaxed.

Soon, the guards surrounded Wang Chong, who was holding the silver ticket, and one by one they rushed to grab the silver ticket in Wang Chong's hand.

The noise of the guards startled the four officials who drank tea in the hall, Wang Zhengxiang walked in the front, when he went out of the hall door to see, but saw that the line of firefighters was robbing a group, the big man in the middle held a silver ticket, scattered into the sky, causing everyone to pick up silver tickets everywhere, the scene was chaotic.

"Presumptuous, this is the official mansion, what is the reason for waiting for such a noise?" Wang Zhengxiang shouted, but it didn't have any effect, and the guards were still robbing what they should have robbed, and they didn't listen to his words in their ears at all.

"Come on, take down this gang of bandits!" Wang Zhengxiang was full of anger and shouted to several sergeants guarding the door.

At this time, a loud shout came from behind: "Stop it all for the official, you are here to put out the fire, why are you here to make trouble?" ”

In an instant, the guards who had originally snatched the silver ticket immediately lined up in two lines, threw the silver ticket in their hands on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the front of the hall became silent.

Yang Xiaoyu carried a wooden barrel, rolled up his sleeves, and gradually stepped forward from behind.

"Humble to meet the four adults!" Yang Xiaoyu threw the wooden barrel aside, knelt on one knee, and greeted the four adults standing in front of the hall.

Wang Zhengxiang took a closer look, and saw that the appearance of the young man in front of him was a little familiar, and as soon as he thought about it in his mind, he instantly thought of Yang Xiaoyu, and raised his voice: "Yang Baihu, if the official remembers well, you should be the guard Baihu on the dock, but you don't know why you brought troops into the city, don't you know that the guards can't leave the station without permission?" ”

The Ming Dynasty did have this rule, all the guards and generals were not allowed to leave the garrison without permission, and they were punished with canes and rebellious at worst.

The scope of activity of the 100 households in Youwan is between the wharf and the station, and when they usually go to the city to buy things, they also need the scribes of the 100 households to open the way, but what Wang Zhengxiang doesn't know is that Yang Xiaoyu didn't enter the city without permission, because his mansion is in the city.

"The adults don't know, the humble home in the city, tonight there was a fire in the city, and the next people came to put out the fire, who knew that the people were greedy for the adults' money, and they robbed it here, which is really a capital crime, please punish the adults." Yang Xiaoyu knelt on the ground and said a word, which made Wang Zhengxiang's eyelids jump at the door of the hall.

Since Yang Xiaoyu was in the city, Wang Zhengxiang couldn't say anything, so he said: "You stand up first, the official has something to ask you." ”

"Please train me!" Yang Xiaoyu looked like he was listening, respectful.

"Since you are here to put out the fire, why do you connive at the people who steal the things in your official mansion, how is this different from a robber?" Wang Zhengxiang said with a straight face.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yang Yong, who was standing behind Wang Zhengxiang, and saw him nodding to himself, so he knew what he meant, and replied: "My lord, it's not that I connived at my subordinates to steal, but there is too much money in my lord's house, and my subordinates are interested in getting rich." ”

"Presumptuous, this official is an honest official, how can there be too much money!" Wang Zhengxiang shouted angrily.

Yang Xiaoyu didn't argue, waved his hand to summon Wang Chong up, and ordered: "You bring the silver and jade artifacts of Lord Wang's family!" ”

Wang Chong turned around and went back, took a stack of silver tickets and the jewels and jade in the package, and presented them to everyone.

A pile of tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets was placed in front of Wang Zhengxiang and the three high-ranking officials, and the glittering jewels and jade stimulated everyone's attention, Wang Zhengxiang looked bitter, these silver tickets and jewels and jade were not his at all.

He was born in poverty, studied hard for decades in the cold window, and only then did he get famous, in line with the heart of worrying about the king, being an upright official, keeping himself clean, and never taking a bribe of one or two silver, and now a lot of money suddenly appeared, and it turned out to be his family? Wang Zhengxiang only felt as if he had been framed, but he couldn't say anything to defend himself.

"Lord Wang came to Jiangnan as an official, but he is really as incorruptible as water, and this official is an eye-opener." A middle-aged man dressed in a second-grade civil official uniform stood up from behind and snorted coldly.

"Lord Liang, please listen to the explanation of the lower officials, when the lower officials came to the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, they have never collected a penny or a penny, and they have never accepted gifts from county officials wherever they have passed, so why did they get so many silver taels." Wang Zhengxiang turned around and explained.

"Lord Wang, as an official of the imperial court, patrolled Jiangnan on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he collected so many silver taels when he first came to Jiangnan, which is really bold." Another middle-aged man dressed in the regular uniform of a third-grade civil official took a step forward, two thick black eyebrows at the corners of his eyes, looking fierce and vicious, and shouted coldly.

When Wang Zhengxiang wanted to explain, Yang Yong, who had not fallen into the well, stood up and shouted: "Lord Wang, Your Excellency is worthy of being the imperial envoy of supervision, according to the records of this official, Lord Wang has been in Zhejiang for less than half a year, why did he collect so much silver taels in such a short period of time, it can be seen that Lord Wang must have used his official position to do a lot of things for some black-hearted businessmen." ”

Wang Zhengxiang suddenly became clear that this was the Zhejiang Party attacking him, and the so-called silver tickets and jewels and jade must have been framed by these people and wanted to drive him out of Zhejiang.

The party competition in the imperial court is fierce, he does not belong to any party, he just wants to do some practical things for the people, rectify the corrupt officials on one side, and clean up the land, but now the senior officials of the Zhejiang Party have united to frame him, which is nothing more than that he came to Zhejiang, encountered the interests of the Zhejiang party officials, and even participated in the chief official of the three divisions of Zhejiang.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Wang Zhengxiang smiled indifferently and said: "Since the three adults have this idea, then please take the lower official lock into Beijing, and the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will find out the truth!" ”

Wang Zhengxiang is the imperial envoy of supervision, and the local officials cannot be arrested without an explicit edict, but can only be impeached.

"Lord Wang is so self-conscious!" Lord Liang, who was dressed in the regular uniform of a second-grade civil official, said coldly and strode away.

Yang Yong and another official exchanged glances, the two followed closely and left, and when they walked down the steps, Yang Yong instructed Yang Xiaoyu, who was standing on the side, "Yang Baihu, let your subordinates send the dirty silver to the judge." ”
