Although Lou Tianhua didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Fang Yingwu's words, it did not prevent him from continuing to dissuade Fang Yingwu. As a qualified curtain seat, you must finish your words and fulfill the responsibility of assisting and assisting, and whether the proprietor listens or not is another matter.

Lou Tianhua pondered for another moment and said, "The proprietor! After failing to study, he also worked in the capital for one or two decades, during which he also heard and witnessed some officials, and knew that this strength was not easy to do.

I don't know how many enthusiastic people want to be blue, but after being in the limelight, they finally collapsed and sank into the sand, and there are really few who can leave a reputation. The proprietor, you were born in Tsinghua University, and you are young and promising, so why do you need to take risks at the beginning of your tenure? ”

Fang Yingwu sighed a few times and asked rhetorically: "Since ancient times, who is the most famous and successful person who is not afraid of the powerful, honest and selfless?" ”

Lou Tianhua thought for a while and replied: "If your guess is correct, it should be Bao Longtu Bao of the former Song Dynasty, who got the name of Qingtian, and is still called Bao Qingtian by the people." ”

Fang Yingwu asked again: "Why is Bao Qingtian the most successful and the most famous?" And others are always inferior to him? ”

This question may seem simple, but when you think about it, it's really hard to answer. What exactly is the reason? Lou Tianhua pondered for a long time and couldn't understand the essentials.

Fang Yingwu smiled slightly, went to the hall, and re-examined the batch of pleadings in his hand. called Lou Tianhua, who was still meditating, in, and read the pleadings while asking.

After asking and asking, Fang Yingwu picked out a complaint against Yongping Bo for forcibly seizing the real estate and put it aside.

The case was submitted by a businessman named Chen Beixue, and the facts of the case were simple, there was a shop in a good area near the Bell and Drum Tower to be sold. The plaintiff's bitter owner, Chen Bixue's father, bought it first. But Yongping Bo's mansion then also took a fancy to this shop, but Chen Bixue's father refused to give in. Yongping Bofu forcibly occupied this shop and severely injured Chen Bixue's father.

In addition, Fang Zhixian picked again. Pick out a lawsuit against the family of the official and the young eunuch for illegality, and put it together with the one that sued Yongpingbo before.

Lou Tianhua saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly, this proprietor was not completely dizzy, at least he knew how to pick soft persimmons and pinch them. This Yongping Bo is one of the weaker princes, the head of the family is only in his twenties, with the title of guerrilla general in Beijing, and there is no too strong one among his in-laws.

As for why another eunuch was singled out, Lou Tianhua couldn't guess it. But with the proprietor's thinking, there is no problem in thinking about it.

After completing these things, it was noon, and the morning of Fangzhi County passed like this. After lunch in the dining room, when Fang Yingwu was about to take a nap, the front door came to report: "Someone outside is holding the name of the East Factory and has come to see the county honor." ”

What is the matter with Dongchang looking for himself? Fang Yingwu was full of doubts, waved his hand and asked Menzi to bring people in, while he sat in the flower hall in the back hall and waited.

After a few moments someone came in. Fang Yingwu raised his eyes and looked at it, stood up in shock, and stepped forward to greet him: "Shang Gong, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was none other than Shang Ming, the commander of Dongchang himself. At this time, the wide robe and large sleeves are like an elderly scribe. If it weren't for the familiarity, no one would have thought that he was the commander of the East Factory, and Fang Yingwu never expected it. It was Shang Ming himself who came incognito.

Shang Ming replied: "Some words are inconvenient to pass through the mouths of others, so I came to interview you in person." ”

Fang Yingwu smiled. He suddenly felt that Shang Ming was very interesting. One moment you can bluff and torture you, and the next moment you can make compromises; A moment ago, you can put it high on the factory shelf. The next moment, you can lower your body and take the initiative to visit.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to ask: "I don't know what Shang Gong came to teach?" ”

Shang Ming didn't wait to say hello, he sat down, and then replied: "Yesterday, the children went to the West Factory to arrest Wei Qianhu, this is not my intention, in fact, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to arrest people yesterday, so I didn't dare to resist the decree in the East Factory, so I could only arrest and detain Wei Qianhu." ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand and said, "Shang Gongda doesn't need to explain, what does this have to do with me?" Shang Ming quickly answered: "If Wang Gong asks, please ask Lord Fang to say a thing or two for me." ”

I see, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized! Eunuch Wang's arrogance in the past few years has left an indelible shadow in the heart of Shang's father-in-law. This time, he was ordered to arrest Wei Ying, a thousand households in Xichang, who knows if Wang Zhi will be angry and retaliate?

Although Eunuch Wang rushed to Xuanda, as if he had escaped on purpose, Shang Ming knew that people like Wang Zhi would turn over at any time, and he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

Fang Yingwu understood, Shang Ming was very aware of his friendly relationship with Wang Zhi, so he said it to himself, which was regarded as shouting at Wang Zhi in the air to explain the hardships he had to do.

But Fang Yingwu didn't promise anything verbally, just pretended not to understand, and just slurred a few words.

"In addition, there is another matter, I must ask Lord Fang's assistance." Shang Ming started talking again, "It's still about Wei Qianhu, I heard that Wei Qianhu once embezzled three thousand taels of silver from Wanping County?" ”

Fang Yingwu was thoughtful, if this father-in-law Shang was specifically to entrust him to pass the word to Wang Zhi, it would be a big fuss, and sure enough, there were other purposes. He deliberately said very puzzled: "This is the matter between Wanping County and Xichang, Shang Gong asked what is going on?" ”

Shang Ming said very frankly: "The emperor ordered me to arrest Wei Qianhu for interrogation, and I always have to give the emperor an explanation, I think it's good to make a fuss about this matter." ”

Fang Yingwu understood again that if the Son of Heaven wanted to kill Wei Ying's dog, Dongchang, as the specific manager, had to find some excuses. But Wei Ying has been in Xichang for many years, and most of the things she has in her hands are political struggles, which are complicated behind it, and sometimes even the Son of Heaven himself is a black hand, so it is inconvenient to make it public.

In contrast, if Wei Ying is dealt with on the charge of embezzlement, there will be relatively less trouble, and the purpose of punishment can be achieved. Just like when the Son of Heaven dealt with himself, in order to avoid trouble, he had to find another charge of "colluding with the eunuch", which is the same as this time.

It was at this juncture that he went to the West Factory to ask for debts, and spread the matter of three thousand taels of silver to the East Factory.

If Dongchang wanted to investigate Wei Qianhu's corruption, of course, Wanping County needed to cooperate, and he had to explain it to Eunuch Wang through Fang Yingwu, so Shang Ming personally came to the door to talk about the matter.

But Fang Yingwu is now in a little entanglement, whether he cooperates with Father-in-law Shang or not?

Wei Ying is a very unpleasant person, and if he can pit him, he is naturally happy to see it. But politicians can't be emotional, now that Wang Zhi is far away, if Wei Ying is punished, I am afraid that the West Factory will fall like dominoes, and the Son of Heaven can go to the West Factory in accordance with the people's will. If Wang Zhi Wang's West Factory collapses, will it be good for him? (To be continued......)
