Chapter 55 Asking for Silver I
Waiting for Zhang Jiayin to repeat the content of the letter, Yang Chengzu thought for a moment and said: "I feel that this letter may not be from Gong Huaien's handwriting. If he really wants to move me, he should follow the brocade system, and now the factory and the guard are integrated, all of them are under the command of Ping Yubo, and the brocade is a closed institution, and it is not easy for outsiders to interfere with it. If he finds someone to clean me up in the brocade system, it is far more convenient than finding someone from the county yamen. I am moved here, and my brother administers justice for me, if it is in the brocade clothes, I am afraid that I will not even be able to find anyone. So this letter, I think it's probably a ghostwriter that someone paid for, and then found someone to guard the eunuch's mansion to come forward, and handed it to Liu Tingxuan, and he believed it. ”
Zhang Jiayin originally felt that he had offended Gong Huaien, and he had to think about how to deal with the other party's backhand. Listening to what Yang Chengzu said, he felt quite reasonable, most of this letter was borrowed from Zhang Hu's skin, and it may not really be the meaning of the old eunuch, the psychological pressure was suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile:
"Brother is worthy of being a person in brocade, and he is really knowledgeable, so I won't worry about you. As for the pressure from Wei Li, you don't have to be afraid, I will write a letter to Duan Biao and ask him to take care of you. He is Wei Hui Baihu, your top boss, with him protecting you, even if others want to move you, they can't bypass him. ”
Don't look at Zhang Jiayin who doesn't understand Jinyi's handling of cases, but he is a character who rolls in the sea of eunuchs, and he knows most about these twists and turns, as long as the top boss protects you, and others want to move you, it is like fighting a cow across the mountain, and you can't use your strength, and there is a lot of room for turning around.
After talking about business, he said: "Brother, you are now in the prime of your flesh, and it is reasonable that you are addicted to the affairs of men and women, and others cannot say anything. Big brother was ridiculous when he was your age. However, the so-called marrying a wife to be virtuous, taking a concubine to sex, the kind of Tie family, had to be a rough girl, cooking on the fire, why did you promote her to a concubine? To tell you the truth, when Tie Zhongying saw that I was alone, he wanted to send his daughter to warm up with me, but I swept it away, his daughter had never been bound in martial arts since she was a child, and she was a wild girl, who was qualified to enter my house, so she kicked him out. You too, how can you lift her up like that? I was beaten with a stick for her, it's not worth it, it's not worth it. Go back and look for a lady for you, to ensure that you are knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. ”
is still the same thing, the concubine is not a wife, if the two are chatting and talking about the feet of the other party's wife, it is clearly looking for a pump. But Tie Coral is just a concubine, Zhang Jiayin doesn't have any pressure when he talks about this, in his opinion, if there is no three-inch golden lotus, he is embarrassed to be called a beauty?
As for the big-footed mother-in-law of the Tie family, taking it as a rough mother-in-law has already given her face, sleeping with such a woman, who serves whom?
This involves a difference in aesthetics, and Yang Chengzu has no intention of correcting it, but just smiled: "The little brother has his own measure, thank the eldest brother for his concern, then the matter of everyone's girlfriends, I will focus on the eldest brother." The people I know are all martial arts, and there is no one who is beautiful. ”
Zhang Jiayin asked again: "Why did you think of the yamen today?" If you hadn't arrived, I think most of this Tie clan would have to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, and in the future, you should tell her that a woman's family, no matter what she looks like, it is better to go out less if she is fine, so as not to cause trouble for herself. ”
"The eldest brother is right, in fact, the younger brother is here to withdraw money from Jiao Rong. I'm not afraid of big brother's jokes, the advance money is not a small amount for me, the pressure time is too long, and the turnover in my hand is not too convenient. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jiayin's face froze, "Withdrawal? Brother Xian, don't be funny, didn't you mention that paragraph two days ago? A total of six hundred and twenty taels of silver, to be honest, at that time, in order to ensure that you could get the money, I even embezzled the funds of the Buddhist temple. Fortunately, the matter of repairing the temple is now over, and there is no reason to get the donations back from the yamen, otherwise I don't know how to return them to those gentry. Why did you come to Jiao Rong again? ”
Yang Chengzu knew that it was bad as soon as he heard it, and sure enough, he responded to Sister Ruxian's words, and there was a problem with the money. He used about 200 taels of cash before and after, originally wanting to quote 300 taels and make a little money for himself. But Jiao Rong was much darker than himself, and he reported six hundred and twenty taels in one go. He hurriedly asked, "Taken away?" What evidence is there for this? ”
"There's a note you typed, and there's your payment on it. It's just that Jiao Rong said that because he cared about your decency, he didn't let you put your fingerprint, and I also said that he did it well. He said as he hurried to find the receipt. With such a large amount of income, the receipt is naturally well preserved, and the slip is taken out after a short time, and sure enough, there is a number and signature on it.
Yang Chengzu looked at it for a long time, and sneered: "What a Jiao Rong, I underestimate him, so bold!" Even my Yang's money, he dares to cheat, he really doesn't know how to write dead words. However, what he imitated with his signature is somewhat similar, and this public person really can't be underestimated. ”
As he spoke, he took the four treasures of the study, wrote his name, and handed it to Zhang Jiayin. Zhang Jiayin can be a jinshi, calligraphy is not an idle person, if the ordinary brocade clothes speak like this, most of his heart thinks that the other party is deliberately blackmailing, preconceived circumstances, handwriting identification is inevitably unfair.
But he decided that Yang Chengzu was an ancient gentleman, and he would never do such a thing, so he was extra careful in reviewing his handwriting, and after a while, he sighed, "I didn't expect that the official would actually lose his eyes." Damn, really hateful! ”
But he also knows that it's not very convenient to turn this matter over now, not to mention that he has approved of this article, if he turns it now, it will be tantamount to slapping himself in the face. In the matter of this payment alone, not only Liu Tingxuan, but also several other adjutants and officials in the county have all served as witnesses for Jiao Rong, proving that the money was indeed received by Yang Chengzu.
Now that I think about it, most of them got Jiao Rong's bribes, and now re-examining this matter is tantamount to pushing these people to the opposite side.
Although he is the magistrate of the county, but the office is inseparable from these officials and subordinates, if he offends everyone and becomes a county magistrate, how will he do this work in the future? Jiao Rong tied himself to a group of people in the yamen this time, moving him alone is equivalent to moving everything, no matter how Zhang Jiayin looks at Yang Chengzu, he has to consider the stakes of this, and he doesn't dare to act rashly.
Yang Chengzu heard him say this, and he also knew that things were tricky and could not be handled casually. If you bring people here like this and interrogate where the money goes, isn't it the same as trying to connect the yamen to the pot? Even if he wins in the end, Zhang Jiayin will not be able to escape the charge of laziness and laziness in official duties, which is equivalent to putting his own people into it for more than 400 taels of silver.
But if you want to say that you don't want money, that's not realistic, let's not say that the money is not a decimal, and there is Yang Daxing's money in it. Speaking of this matter alone, if it passes like this, wouldn't Jiao Rong still be the proud party?
Yang Chengzu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Big brother, if you want to do this, I'm afraid I still have your help." Let me ask first, can you imitate Jiao Rong's handwriting? ”
Zhang Jiayin said: "Then what's not to do." He is the household secretary of the county, and he has a lot of signatures on the correspondence, and he can be found casually. Copying his signature with the power of my pen is himself, and he may not be able to understand it. ”
"That's the best, this time the little brother wants to come up with this evil breath, and he has to rely on Brother Ren."
