Chapter 176: Wang Zhen, it's you who want to make things bigger
PS: It's the end of the month, and the monthly pass is cleared, why don't you hurry up?
"Lord Guo, please come here!"
Guo Nu looked at the small courtyard, most of the red paint on the gate had already fallen off, and it was estimated that the rest would not be long after.
"Lao Da, you are guarding outside the door, I can go in!"
"Master, I'd better go in with you, right?" Lao Da said uneasily.
"No need!" Guo Nu waved his hand.
Guo Nu pushed the door and walked in.
"Lord Guo!"
"Mr. Wang." Guo Nu was not surprised to see Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen is a greedy person, but he is also a cautious and cautious person, otherwise, he would not be able to disguise so well in front of the emperor.
"It's our family's sin to wake up Master Guo from the warm quilt so early." Wang Zhen smiled.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
"Our family heard that Cao Bao of the Zhonghou Institute was arrested by Lord Guo?" Wang Zhen and Guo have been fighting angrily for more than a day or two, and there is no need to talk around the corner.
"It's not a catch, it's just a temporary seizure."
"That's not what it means, Lord Guo is now the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Cao Bao is your subordinate, whether you arrest or detain it, it's none of our family's business, but Cao Bao is also supervising the important task of repairing the family temple for our family, so our family has to ask!" Wang Zhendao.
"Mr. Wang, explain your intentions!"
"Lord Guo is still as cheerful as ever, to be honest, our family likes to deal with people like you, and those people in the court are too grinding." Wang Zhen said with a smile. "Give me a face, let Cao Bao out!"
"What does Mr. Wang want me to do?" How could Guo Nu not know Wang Zhen's intention, Cao Bao was building a family temple for him, such a person can't be saved, who is willing to follow him?
"Our family doesn't really understand what Lord Guo means?"
"Cao Bao has a lot of corruption and deficits in his tenure in the Zhonghou Institute, if he is released like this, the official will not be able to explain to the saint and more than 16,000 colleagues under him, the year is approaching, Mr. Wang understands what the official means?"
"How much does Cao Bao lose money in total?" Wang Zhen asked.
"I don't know the exact number, I won't know until I check the accounts. But conservative estimates. It won't be less than fifty thousand taels of silver, or even more! ”
"So much?" When Wang Zhen heard this, he was also shocked, a total of thousands of small middle and rear households dared to be greedy for so much money.
"As far as this official knows. Mr.'s family temple. Cao Bao also contributed a lot. Guo said angrily.
"This bastard thing. Our family is building a family temple, and he will take care of those craftsmen for me, how can he do such a thing? ”
"Then the official doesn't know." Guo said angrily. hasn't completely torn his face yet, and he can only endure some words and hold them in his stomach.
"In this way, Lord Guo, please release Cao Bao, and we will pay him back the money he lost in the air?"
"This is a lot of silver, Mr. Wang is willing to pay so much for a Cao Bao?" Guo Nu was surprised.
Is he forced to do so, or does he want to learn from King Yan Zhao's "daughter to buy horse bones"?
"Can Lord Guo promise to give our family a face?"
"As long as the deficit is made up, this official is not a big problem here, but after all, Cao Bao has violated the law first, and it is impossible to hold a public office, so how about his own resignation?"
"Okay, according to Lord Guo's wishes!" Wang Zhen thought about it for a while, he also knew that Cao Bao's official position would definitely not be able to be kept, and he would not be able to continue in Jinyiwei, so it was better to simply not want it than to stay.
"I'll ask someone to send over the calculated deficit when I go back, let's pay the money with one hand and release the person with the other?" Guo said angrily.
"What's the matter, Lord Guo still can't trust our family?"
"No, they can't trust your people, they don't talk as much as you do!" Guo smiled angrily.
"Okay, Cao Bao's matter is like this, our family can't stay for long, it's time to go back to the palace!" Wang Zhen stood up and said.
"I'll send Mr. Wang?"
"Master Guo stays ......"
"Dong Weng ......" At this time, the eunuchs Xining and Lao Da, who were guarding the door, pushed the door and rushed in at the same time, looking very flustered.
"What's the matter?"
"Dong Weng ......" Xining looked at Guo Nu and hesitated.
"Do you need to recuse yourself?" Guo Nu asked.
"No, Master Guo, you're right here, Xining, you say, what's going on?" Wang Zhen asked unhappily.
"Dong Weng, Lord Guo, Jinyi Wei has gone to the water!" Xining said.
"What?" When Guo Nu heard this, his face changed greatly.
Wang Zhen was also shocked, Cao Bao was just arrested here, and he went to the water in the middle and back office, how could there be such a coincidence?
"Wang Zhen, do you want to make things bigger?"
"Lord Guo, our family has no such intention, our family will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, you should go to the Zhonghou Institute to take a look first." Wang Zhen was also furious, he had already guessed this matter.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you to explain to this official!" Guo snorted angrily and threw off his sleeves, "Lao Da, let's go, go to Zhonghou Institute!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Dong Weng, are you going back to the palace?"
"Go back to what palace, go to Wangshan Mansion!" Wang Zhen got into the soft sedan and snorted coldly.
Every night, spending all day and wine, wine pond and meat forest, and when Wang Zhen entered the mansion, Wang Shan still slept with the two concubines in his arms.
"Uncle, why are you here?" As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Wang Zhen in civilian clothes, Wang Shan was so frightened that he quickly crawled out from between the jade legs and pink arms.
After a long period of wine, Wang Shan's body had already been hollowed out, his eyes were swollen, his face was pale, he stumbled under his feet, and almost fell to the ground.
"Bastard, what did you do last night?" Wang Zhen slapped his palm on the table and shouted angrily.
"Uncle, I didn't do anything, I just drank and had fun in the house, and I didn't leave the house for half a step?" Wang Shan got up and argued.
"yes, do you think I came early in the morning to see you look so ugly in bed?" Wang Zhen snorted angrily.
"Get out, get out!" The two concubines on the bed had already woken up, and they were urged by Wang Shan for a while, and hurriedly took their clothes and ran outside.
"Uncle, what is it that makes you so angry?"
"Cao Bao is your subordinate, right?" Wang Zhen asked.
"Uncle, you know. I am in Jinyiwei and command the affairs, and the Zhonghou Office is my jurisdiction, and Cao Bao is my subordinate! Wang Shan said.
"So, you let this fire in the middle and back institute be set off?" Wang Zhen asked.
"Uncle, Cao Bao has contributed money and effort in the past few years for the sake of our Wang family, and now he has been arrested by Guo Laohu, we can't ignore it!"
"So you burned down the middle and back office?"
"Uncle, you can't let Guo Laohu's people check the accounts of the Housu, otherwise. All the things Cao Bao has done over the years have been exposed. When the time comes, he won't be able to save even if he has nine lives! Wang Shan explained.
"Burn the account of the middle and back office, and he will be safe, and the money and grain in the warehouse will be empty. It's not a one-size-fits-all check. Could it be that these can be burned too? Wang Zhen scolded angrily. Worse than useless! ”
"Uncle, we have to get Cao Bao out first, but he knows a lot of things about us?" Wang Shan said embarrassedly.
"You know when you just came. Did I go to see anyone? ”
"Who?"
"Guo Laohu!" Wang Zhen said, "Originally, it was already very shameful for me to go to see Guo Laohu, but you are good, but Cao Bao can't cover it at all because of corruption!" ”
"Huh?"
"Guo Nu just took over the Jinyi Guard, he is worried that he can't find an excuse to rectify the Jinyi Guard, now it's good, we sent it to the door ourselves!" Wang Zhendao.
"Uncle, since he wants to fix us, why don't you go to see him?"
"I judge that Guo Laohu is now entangled in the affairs of the Waragong mission, and he doesn't want to make trouble with us at this time, so that the fisherman can benefit, so he agreed to my conditions, we make up the shortfall, he released Cao Bao, the big thing is small, and the small thing is small, but now it's good, you sent someone to burn the Zhonghou Institute, and also burned the account books, do you think he can still get involved in this matter privately?" Wang Zhen hates that iron does not become steel.
"Make up the shortfall, uncle, that's a small 100,000 taels of silver!" Wang Shan was surprised.
"Not so much, Cao Bao's house will definitely be raided, and we will only pay 80,000 taels of silver at most." Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and said.
I feel distressed, 100,000 taels of silver, how much effort did he have to put into it to get it, and now in order to protect a Cao Bao, he has to give it away!
What can I do if I don't want to? As soon as Sun Lian's matter passed, both the queen mother and the emperor were a little indifferent to him, and they didn't let him do a lot of things!
The emperor only trusts you to let you do things, and the busier you are, the more you trust, but when you are idle, it is dangerous!
There are so many things, the emperor won't let you do it, you must find someone else to do it.
It means that your status in the emperor's heart has declined!
"Uncle, now that there are fewer account books in the Zhonghou Institute, Guo Laohu and they have no evidence, so we don't need to pay out the 80,000 taels of silver?"
"Bastard, what kind of person is Guo Laohu, even if a fire burns the account books, there will be no evidence?"
"Uncle, in fact, I set this fire, not entirely to destroy the evidence, but mainly to give a warning to those things that are eaten inside and outside the Middle and Rear Institute." Wang Shan said, "If it weren't for those people, Cao Bao would have solved that Meng Yan in the middle and queen office a long time ago!" ”
"What, solve Meng Yan, Xiaoshan, you tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?" Wang Zhen asked.
"Uncle, that's the case, yesterday Meng Yan went to Zhonghou ......"
"It's not a pity that this Cao Bao died, he doesn't know, Meng Yan has now received the attention of the saint, and yesterday he said that he would be summoned to the palace to meet him, but I stopped him." Wang Zhen said, "I can stop it once, but I can't stop it a second time, and the third time, if the saint becomes suspicious, our Wang family may overturn at any time?" ”
"Why did the saint fall in love with that Meng Yan?"
"The emperor's mind, who can guess?"
"The saint or your student, his thoughts, will you know?" Wang Shan smiled.
"Bastard, if you say one more thing like this, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Wang Zhen looked at each other angrily.
Wang Shan was startled, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.
Cao Bao's case is already ironclad in front of the palace, how to calm down, Wang Zhen has no clue for a while. (To be continued......)
