Chapter 8: The Femme Fatale Scheme
In the Governor's Mansion of Hedong County, Governor Zhou Yang was meeting with the Marquis of Pingyang who had come from afar.
There were ten iron tools of different sizes in front of the desk, some of them were swarthy and dull, and some were white and reflected the image of people. can insinuate people's appearance, and you seized the blacksmith workshop in Pingyang Hou's Mansion for this thing? β
"Xiaochen thought that Pingyang Hou had misbehaved in gathering iron, but he didn't expect to find a bunch of cooking utensils called pots, but Xiaochen thought that this was a great opportunity." Ding Hui opened a box as he spoke, and fifty golden cakes of the same shape were neatly placed inside, and Zhou Yang, who was shining with golden brilliance, was dizzy.
Zhou Yangyou didn't expect that a small Hou Lingchang would be able to take out a heavy bribe, according to the Han system, one gold is worth ten thousand yuan for one pound of gold, fifty gold is worth at least 500,000 good money, at least one million yuan for inferior quality money, and at least four or five million yuan for the inferior pod money that is most popular among the common people.
Gold is the best hard currency for value preservation in any era, and this is especially true in the Western Han Dynasty, which pursued gold and copper secondary currency.
In the most fertile place in Anyi, one acre of Shangtian is worth about 3,000 yuan, 500,000 yuan is enough to buy one and a half acres of Shangtian, and the remaining several thousand yuan is more than enough to buy three ploughing cattle.
Syllable!
Zhou Yangyou put away his greedy gaze, pressed the box and pushed it aside to make a business-like gesture: "I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to assist the Taishou in supervising the governance of Hedong County, and is in charge of the responsibility of military affairs and garrison. β
Ding Hui understood the voiceover, closed his mouth happily, quietly pushed the box of gold in front of Zhou Yangyou, leaned over and said with a sneer: "Du Wei Mingjian, the little minister has been the commander of the Hou for more than ten years and has been thinking day and night to repay the king's kindness, so the little minister has been secretly visiting the Pingyang Hou Mansion for many years, and there are traces of misdeeds......
"The misdeeds that I said at the foot are not this iron pot? It's hard for me to solve the case! Zhou Yangyou put down the iron pot and pushed back the box of gold cakes in front of him, his eager expression became much colder, and he joked that the newly appointed lieutenant went to deal with Pingyang Hou, this was purely an old birthday star hanging himself to death, and he even suspected that the goods in front of him were bait to frame him.
Ding Hui scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously in his heart, held the box with both hands and weighed it for a moment, gritted his teeth and pushed it over again: "No, what Xiaochen noticed was not this iron pot, but a lot of iron materials that entered the Hou Mansion and disappeared without a trace, and only made these few little-known iron tools, Xiaochen thought that Pingyang Hou was hiding people's eyes and ears. β
Zhou Yangyou opened the gold box again and glanced at it: "Oh, I don't know how to interpret this, I want to hear it in detail." β
"The Marquis of Pingyang is a big country sealed by Emperor Gao, originally the capital of the Wei King Leopard, dating back to three hundred years as the capital of Korea, with more than 22,000 households, a population of more than 91,000, located on the west bank of the Fen River, a vast territory, if it comes to the wealth, only a few big cities in the county, such a rich land in the hands of the marquis must not be at ease." Ding Hui secretly glanced at it a few times, and Zhou Yang stared at the golden box opening and closing it with reluctance.
"If the reason is not sufficient, the Son of Heaven will not agree." Zhou Yangyou closed the box and glanced at him and decided to add a reminder: "Although the Son of Heaven intends to cut the marquis, but the Marquis of Pingyang is not on the list of the big cuts, you should know that the princess of Pingyang Hou Shangyangxin, the son-in-law of the heavenly family, how can I and other foreign ministers be separated, and Hugh must forget the truth of Xuanping Wuhou." β
Xuanping Wuhou Zhang Ao is the son-in-law of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, in the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Gao passed the Zhao State, Zhang Ao was insulted for his son-in-law, and the country was coherent and plotted to assassinate Emperor Gao, and Zhang Ao was imprisoned, and finally pardoned and demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping, and still Princess Luyuan remained the same.
He thought about it for a long time and didn't understand what it meant, until Zhou Yangyou added another hint to understand that the Pingyang Marquis of Hedong was like the Marquis of Xuanping who was powerful fifty years ago.
Ding Hui almost jumped up in a hurry, he was reckless and reckless at the beginning, but in the end he only took away a large handful of useless iron pots, but he had to risk the great danger of being impeached by the princes for disrespect, and the poor ones with small profits were worried that their lives would be planted in the hands of the Marquis of Pingyang at any time.
Han law kills people without blinking, not only has a great deterrent effect on the princes and princes, but also the lower-level officials and heroes are even more fearful like tigers, Zhidu and Ning Cheng killed people in Jinan County The heads are rolling and bleeding, but there is not a single Confucian gentry who dares to jointly write a complaint, and those who have the courage to despise the cool officials have gone to hell to stay.
Ding Hui hugged the golden box and shouted: "How can you live like this, Xiaochen has copied the blacksmith workshop of Pingyang Houfu, Pingyang Hou will never give up, if Xiaochen goes back and doesn't give an explanation to Houfu, I'm afraid that Xiaochen's life will be buried in Hou's Mansion, then everything will be over!" β
Zhou Yangyou saw that the golden box was snatched away, and he suddenly became angry: "How rude it is for the Marquis of Pingyang to order Changding to return!" Do you think that only the Marquis of Pingyang will take your life? β
"The lieutenant is angry, the minister is in a hurry and loses his sense of proportion, and the life and death of the head on the item must not be ignored!" Ding Hui put down the golden box and pushed it over reluctantly, and couldn't help but pull it into his arms a little: "If the minister's life is not guaranteed, the other golden box in the family will belong to the Pingyang Hou Mansion." β
Zhou Yang pressed on the gold box with one hand, leaned forward and his eyes shone brightly: "Oh, there is another box of gold cakes!" β
It is no wonder that Zhou Yang started from a moment of greed, and he didn't need a few dollars to sit in the mansion for office work, but Anyi is a big town with more than 45,000 households, and all industries in the city are thriving, and the pedestrians are like a lot of traffic, and the consumption is much higher than the Kanto County of his unit.
He was originally promoted by the Son of Heaven to the county guard of 2,000 stones, but he was impeached by the imperial history for his perverse behavior and often lawlessness, so he was transferred by the Son of Heaven to Hedong as a lieutenant as a warning.
The bad thing is that the power of the county is firmly controlled by the Taishou Shen Tu Gong, this person is the brother of the late Anhou Shen Tu to go to the sick, his grandfather Shen Tu Jia once served as the county guard in Hedong, so there are a lot of contacts in the county, and in the past two years, the water of the Hedong County business has not been splashed, and the lieutenant Ning has become the arrangement he made, and everything has not gone well in the past half a year, and he has only brought two or three big cats and kittens, and he is still far away from his cronies.
Ding Hui sitting in front of him was the big cat he had caught at the beginning, he had seen it a few times before when he was discussing the county governance in the county, and it seemed to be a stuffy gourd who was not good at words, but he didn't expect that he was going to knock Pingyang Hou to the ground silently, and this crazy idea really scared Zhou Yangyou.
He couldn't help but pound his heart, the rank of the lieutenant was more than 2,000 stones, and the monthly salary was 5,000 yuan per month, and 34 stones of rice, and he only relied on this salary to support his family for less than half a year without worrying about food and clothing, but compared to the rich businessmen and wealthy families in the county, it was far behind, and what was more important was the hearts of those who had no money in their hands to bribe military officials.
It is not good to put on the official stand to coerce the law strictly, he has a head across the Taishou Shen Tu Gong from time to time secretly obstructed, if there is no money to buy people's hearts, everything is not going well, a lot of pressure is put on the body The mentality is also unconsciously impatient and manipulative, for this box of gold, he repeatedly hesitated and struggled in his heart, and heard that there is a box of gold The fire in his heart burned more violently.
"The minister has saved two boxes of gold for more than ten years, and today he will give a box to the captain, if there is another box to offer, then the captain will be asked to operate one or two, and find a messenger for the minister in the Anyi County Government, and the minister will be rewarded again in the future." Ding Hui simply made it clear that Chi Guoguo's sue sΓΉ that he would exchange these two boxes of gold for Du Wei to bring down the Marquis of Pingyang.
Zhou Yangyou reminded unwillingly: "The Marquis of Pingyang is a minister of the Son of Heaven, and he can be punished by not a foreign minister, if you can't come up with strong evidence, I won't support you." β
The two were in a stalemate bargaining, and suddenly there was a slight noise outside the door, and after a while, a young and handsome servant flashed out and said: "Jun, there are three greeting posts today, and a banquet tomorrow ......"
"And step aside, I will discuss government affairs with Hou Lingchang, and don't disturb me with idle things."
"Whoa!" Seeing that his master was in a bad mood, the servant hurriedly bowed back.
Ding Hui pressed the golden box and pushed it hard, and said in a low voice: "What the captain is worried about, the Marquis of Pingyang has stood in the east of the river for more than 50 years, and the roots are deep and the leaves are unshakable, and the rest is a sign of the death of the family!" I heard that the gentleman's Ze III and beheaded, and Pingyang Hou Li IV did not fall, sooner or later it will be jealous of the Son of Heaven, it is better to take this opportunity to search the Hou Mansion will be able to find illegal things, then the commander can be in front of the Son of Heaven to ask for a decision, even if the princess is unwilling, there is nothing to do. β
Zhou Yangyou knew what he meant, the so-called forcible search is another name for tearing his face, no matter how stupid he is to forcibly search the Hou Mansion, he can find evidence of violating the Han law, even if there is no evidence of illegal law in the Pingyang Hou Honest and Honest Mansion, he can also find a reason to frame him guilty, such as the rebellion of the soldiers in the inner treasury, and the construction of the Hou Mansion is beyond the system, etc., as long as you find a way to confirm the evidence of the crime, there is hope for success.
As long as the concealment of the handling is careful and does not leave a handle, it is too late to save the Shentu Gong if it is handled properly, and if it is handled properly, it can also take the opportunity to counterpressure the Shentu Gong, like Ning Cheng, who controls the county governance power as a lieutenant.
Zhou Yang had already made up his mind, stood up and ordered: "Commander Hou immediately set off and returned to Hou State overnight to send twenty soldiers to assist me, and forty-five county soldiers from the county soldiers can arrive at Hou's Mansion as soon as the morning after tomorrow, this is the maximum force that can be mobilized under the Tiger Fu, you can go out immediately!" β
The largest courtyard across the street from the Duwei Mansion is the Taishou Mansion, and Shen Tu Gong took the wooden tablet and asked the messenger of the Hou Mansion: "Your prince invited a certain person to a luncheon, I don't know what the name of this luncheon is?" β
The servant of the Hou Mansion sent a letter and responded: "The blacksmith of the Hou Mansion is successful, and the kitchen utensils can save ten times the effort and get the delicious food of the main meal, and the prince is very happy to get this vessel, so he specially ordered the foreign servants to send books at the feet of the horse (too respectful title), and invited 60 people from Hedong High Lords, 30 merchants and gentry, and 30 scholars from 100 families to go to the banquet. β
Shen Tu Gong said happily: "One hundred and twenty people to a banquet is really rare, called a hundred dishes banquet?" I have to go to the banquet in person to see it, and report back to your prince that I will go to the meeting in person the day after tomorrow. β

ps: Zhou Yangyou was a Lang official when he was Emperor Jing, and then moved to the county guard, and then transferred to the captain, obviously he failed the assessment and was brushed down, otherwise he should be promoted to the secretary or transferred to other county guards, according to history, it should be the Wu Emperor Dynasty to become the captain, and leave the allusion of the bending of the law and the song of the law to extinguish, for the convenience of the text, the time for him to be the commander was slightly advanced by a few years.
