Chapter 15: Planting
The New Year in the capital is a little cold. Goose feather-like snow flakes are flying all over the sky, and the wind helps the snow, and the sky and the earth are white. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, a gust of wind and snow roared and pounced on him, and the snow flakes hit his face and hurt.
"What the hell is this weather!" He couldn't help but mutter, then clamped his robe tightly and walked quickly to the main hall.
"Master, someone from Zhejiang is waiting in the hall!" When the next person saw him, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Good!" He said yes to the adults, and without raising his head, he walked straight to the main hall. The weather is so gloomy, and people's mood is also dull.
In the main hall, he was pacing a small man in the hall, looking anxious.
"You're the same as the adults?!" When the man saw Lord He, he quickly stopped and asked respectfully.
"Exactly, who are you?!" And the adults looked at this person with some wariness. He has a lot of power in Zhejiang, but this person has never seen it.
"Slave Zhang Zhao, working under the hands of Lianghuai Yanzheng Quande, it was Lord Quan who ordered the slaves to come."
"It turned out to be Lord Zhang, please sit down, it's been a bumpy and hard journey! Liu Quan, look at the tea! ”
Quande is his own people.
"My lord, the slave has something important to report when he comes to Beijing." Zhang Zhao did not sit down, but still stood and spoke carefully.
"What's the matter?"
"A few days ago, the whole adult found that Chai Zhen had embezzled 220,000 taels of silver from the two Huai salt transports, so he detained Chai Zhen for questioning, and found that many people were involved in the investigation. Lord Quande was afraid that something would go wrong, so he specially sent a servant to ask what Lord He meant. ”
"Chai Zhen?"
"Yes, it's Chai Zhen......."
Here's the thing: Chai Zhen was the salt road of Zhejiang at that time, and this children's shoes were scratching their hearts and livers when they were in office, and they wanted to climb up. However, because the salary in his hands was too meager, he, like most civil servants in the Qing Dynasty, started the idea of public funds.
As soon as 220,000 taels of silver were mentioned from the treasury, his officials immediately followed. However, the problem also arises: a big pit of 220,000 taels, how can I explain to the person who tops me, this work can't be handed over!
So, he found someone - his immediate boss Lianghuai Yanzheng - Fu Song.
He said to Fu Song: "Brother, I spent 220,000 taels to buy a salt envoy, but I raised the money from the treasury. So, you press for me first, I'll go to office first, and when I get there, I'll find a way to plug this hole right away, and then you're letting the person who tops me take office. Do you say okay?!
Fu Song said: What should I do, isn't this all a program?! You can go with confidence, there is a brother in everything......
The east wall was demolished and the west wall was replaced. The idea of Chai Zhen children's shoes is very good, but it is not very good to transport. After he arrived, he settled the original account, but he himself had an accident. Quande found out about his embezzlement of 220,000 taels of silver. As a result, the east wall collapsed and the east wall collapsed, and the west wall collapsed, and even Fu Song suffered so suddenly.
Fu Song said: Isn't this unlucky!
"Lord Quande doesn't know if you have a relationship with Fu Song, I'm afraid that I will accidentally mishandle my own people." Zhang Zhao said cautiously.
"Your own people?! Fu Song is not his own person, tell your family, what to do about this! "When it comes to Fusong, I don't fight with the anger of adults.
All the governors and governors of other provinces enter Beijing, and they all come to me to visit the door, just one of them, he doesn't even cover his face, and obviously looks down on people!
"That's good, the report of Lord Jeonde has been written. Since you don't have any friendship with Fu Song, please submit the report to the emperor! Zhang Zhao listened to Lord He's words, and hurriedly took out the fold from his arms, and presented it to Lord He with both hands.
"Okay, tell your family, you must investigate carefully! I will go to meet the emperor tomorrow and send someone of my own to investigate it properly. ”
"There is another thing, the whole adults found a record of 'one thousand taels of blessing money' in the old file of Yandao. He guessed that this should be a generous gift from Chai Zhen to Hubu Shangshu Fu Chang'an. The whole adult knows about your friendship with Fuku-sama, so I suppressed this matter, and I don't know if it is in line with the adult's wishes......"
"Haha......." After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, he laughed with the adults, "This Quande is really getting better and better!" If I have a chance in the future, I will have to promote your family more! ”
"Thank you, sir!"
"Zhang Zhao, go back and tell your family, work hard, the future is limitless!" He said to Zhang Zhao with a smile, and then said a few words to Liu Quan beside him.
After a while, Liu Quan walked in with a small package, took it with the adult, and handed it to Zhang Zhao.
"You've worked hard along the way, I'll leave these silver taels to you for entanglement!"
"My lord, the minions don't dare!"
"Shen and I have never treated our own people badly, you just take it!"
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Zhao took the package and knelt down to thank him. He heard that he has always been very stingy with adults, but when he sees it today, it is not quite the same!
"Zhang Zhao, you will stay in the house overnight today, and go back early tomorrow morning to report to your family!"
He left the main hall with a smile and got into the carriage and horse when he went out. And the destination of adults - Fukufu.
"I'm here with my lord!" When the guard at the door saw Lord Wa, he immediately shouted loudly. The minions heard this and hurriedly trotted in to report it. After a while, Fu Chang'an came out.
"It's so late, what kind of wind is blowing you?!"
"Nature is the thing. This damn thing, it's going to freeze me into a lump of ice! ”
"Hehe, such a cold day, it's really rare! I'm drinking in the house to keep warm, and you're just in time! Fu Changan hurriedly let the adults into the house. The three large braziers in the room were burning brightly, and there were some wine and food on the seats, and Fu Chang'an was really pouring himself a drink.
"Or brother, you will enjoy it, drinking around the fire, I am afraid there is nothing more beautiful in this world!" When he saw the brazier, his mood immediately improved, "It's just right, let's talk about something while drinking." ”
"What's the matter?!" The two had just sat down, and Fu Changan asked in a low voice. It will certainly not be a trivial task to be able to go out on such a cold night with adults.
"It's not because of you, brother!" And the adults complained a little.
"Me?! What's wrong with me?! ”
"The two Huai salt transport made Chai Zhen make a mistake, and Quande found a record of 'blessing a thousand taels of gold' in the old file of the salt road. He was afraid that the 'Fu Gong' would be you, so he sent someone to ask me! ”
"This Chai Zhen, why is he so careless!"
"It's really you?! Also, in today's court, in addition to the four brothers of your Fu family, how many Fu Gong are there?! And among the brothers of your Fu family, you are just this mouth! Haha......"
"What? Is it serious?! ”
"Involve the two Huai Yan Zhengfu Song, is this a small matter?!"
"Look, where is there only me who has such a good fortune as 'Fugong', isn't there another one?!"
"Fusong? Fu Gong? As soon as he heard this, he suddenly had an idea, "Fu Chang'an, Fu Chang'an, or you are clever!" ”
"What?!"
"I can guess that this 'daughter' is a great gift from Chai Zhen to you to Fu Chang'an, but others may not. Fu Song sold Chai Zhen such a big favor, a deficit of 220,000 taels, it makes sense to send a 'daughter', haha......."
"You mean ......."
"Yes, I'm going to kill him this time!"
"No, no, no, brother, as for it?!"
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about. Ming'er, I will go to ask the emperor for an order, and ask him to send his own people to Zhejiang to investigate. When the time comes, everything is under our control, so you can put your heart in your stomach! ”
"What if the emperor wants to interrogate Fu Song personally?! What if he doesn't admit it?! "After all, Chai Zhen's money went into my pocket!
"Hehe......"
"What are you laughing at?!"
"Want to enter Beijing? He doesn't have that blessing yet! ”
