Fang Yingwu, accompanied by Wang Ying and Tang Yin, Shi Shiran walked into the vestibule hall. At this time, there were already seven or eight people in the hall, and when they saw Lord Qincha, they saluted together.

Fang Yingwu glanced at it a few times, most of them didn't know him, but there was a young man in his twenties who looked familiar. After recalling it carefully, I remembered that this young man was Zhu Zhishan, and he had seen it a few times six years ago.

After Fang Yingwu returned the salute at will, he sat down on the main seat, and then asked Tang Yin to serve tea and pour water, while Wang Ying stood behind Fang Yingwu and listened to the instructions.

"This is the eldest son of the Tang Yuanwai family in Wangjianglou outside the gate, I think this son is talented and intelligent, and he will be a rising star in Wuzhong one day!" Fang Yingwu pointed at Tang Yin and introduced him to everyone, which was regarded as taking this opportunity to raise the young Tang Bohu.

After all, Fang Yingwu is also a young and ambitious celebrity now, and he is a dignified Huiyuan in terms of fame, and it still has a lot of weight to praise a person in public.

Then Fang Yingwu looked at Zhu Zhishan, who was at the end of the seat, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for six years, I wish my friends the same demeanor!" How are you doing in school? Have you ever made a name for yourself? ”

This tone is like an old-timer asking a question to a junior, which makes Zhu Yunming have a bitter face, not to mention how depressed he is. Six years ago, Fang Yingwu made him lose face, and it seems that he still can't find the field after six years.

Zhu Yunming's family history, early wisdom as a young man, and conceit are famous, and he is regarded as a genius and a future star by the villagers, but in front of Fang Yingwu, a freak, he seems to be nothing.

Six years ago, he was the most promising young man in Suzhou, and Fang Yingwu was just a madman from the countryside; Six years later, he is still the most promising young man in Suzhou, but Fang Yingwu is already a well-known ruler.

In just six years, it was able to soar to this point! And Fang Yingwu was three or four years younger than him. So it's really more popular than people!

Zhu Yunming has a lot of thoughts, but he always has to reply. can only reply: "There is a lot of concern for Master Lao, and he has already entered school in his later years." He is now a member of the Diet. ”

The twenty-year-old Yu Sheng is proud enough to be proud in normal times, but in front of Fang Yingwu, a nineteen-year-old junior scholar, he is not enough to see, and he feels embarrassed to say it.

Fang Yingwu nodded amiably, and encouraged Houjin: "You still need to study diligently, you should follow your predecessors such as Wu Kuang'an and Wang Shouxi, and climb the Yellow Armor in one go!" ”

I don't know when Lu Dao started, Fang Yingwu fell in love with this feeling of pretending to be a senior to teach (ridicule) people, especially a future celebrity like Zhu Yunming who did not achieve fame. In the boring life of officialdom. It's a lot of fun.

Of course, according to the rules, in the eyes of others, he is indeed a senior, and the master of science is the first, and no matter how young he is, he is also a senior.

After teaching (adjusting) the guide (Kan) to wish Yunming, Fang Yingwu put his eyes on others again, and asked: "Forgive this official for being clumsy, most of the gentlemen look unfamiliar."

The people who are visiting together today must be local celebrities, otherwise how can they be qualified to enter the gate of the Qincha Mansion?

But there's really no one who is too familiar with it. Everyone could only introduce themselves, and then everyone began to raise Fang Yingwu with a word-

"Lord Fang took action and upheld justice, my Gusu City is like a long drought and a rainstorm. Treat Lord Fang as if he were reborn! ”

"Lord Fang is not afraid of violence, eradicates treacherous evil, and helps the weak. Kindness is all over the city, and it is a blessing for the locals! ”

In the face of a flood of words. Fang Yingwu smiled and said nothing, only drinking tea slowly. I don't know how long it took. There was a sudden piercing cold snort in the hall, and I don't know who muttered: "Kill!" ”

It wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. Everyone followed the sound again, but saw that this person was standing behind Fang Qincha's side, probably a member of his entourage.

Wang Ying, as a long-term attendant, stood next to Fang Yingwu at this time, and this abrupt voice could naturally only be his mouth.

Fang Yingwu put away his smile and turned his head to reprimand: "All of you here are local celebrities, people with clear virtues, how can you be presumptuous!" ”

However, although it was Wang Ying who was scolded, it made the other visitors in the hall blush slightly. Their thoughts, even a long-term follower who can't get on the stage can see Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it.

After scolding his entourage, Fang Yingwu said to everyone with a smile: "You are here, you must have some advice." Although this official is a Qincha, he has always attached great importance to public opinion, and you may wish to speak directly. ”

An elderly man in a wide robe and big sleeves coughed, "Lord Fang has eliminated harm for the people, and the Quartet respects him, or can he start and finish well?" I want to buy eunuchs to stay in Su Yueyu, but I have looted countless people's wealth, all of which are ill-gotten gains! Why don't Master Fang handle it properly and act with all virtues? This is a complete success. ”

The key to this sentence lies in the four words "proper disposal", and everyone can hear that his proper disposal means that the goods are returned to the Owner

"Well said!" Fang Yingwu suddenly applauded, "The eunuch Wang Jingming is procured on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but in fact, it is a disaster, and it is all ill-gotten gains!" ”

Hearing that Lord Qincha seemed to agree with his opinion, the old gentleman who had spoken earlier gradually smiled, and everyone nodded frequently.

Then he heard Fang Qincha say even more impassionedly: "So don't worry, this official has his own ideas!" All ill-gotten gains should all be confiscated from the official, and they must not be cheapened by greedy villains like Wang Jing! ”

What the? Confiscated into the official? Everyone was stunned, and the way they thought of it was not like this

Fang Yingwu didn't seem to understand everyone's thoughts, and looked around the hall again, and said with a righteous awe: "You can rest assured, although the treasure is moving, this official has also read the books of sages!" We will never take a penny without permission, everything will go to the public! ”

Everyone seemed to have a collective cold for a while, and the sound of coughing in the lobby came and went, and after looking at each other, it was the old gentleman who spoke: "Ill-gotten gains, taken from the people, should be returned to the people." ”

Then he pointed to a person in the hall, "For example, this Brother Zhang, his family was extorted from 5,000 taels of silver and two ancient paintings, and he suffered heavy losses."

Fang Yingwu was impatient to listen to the complaints, and interrupted, "According to the practice of the imperial court, it is common for anyone who is greedy to be corrupt to be investigated and punished, and it is common to raid the house.

But after the raid, all the property of his generation was returned to the public, and I didn't hear that there was anyone looking for the original owner to return it. In this case, the official also acted according to the rules. ”

Another person argued: "The situation is different, and I hope that Qin will be clear." ”

Fang Yingwu's face gradually turned cold, "You also said that the ill-gotten gains are countless, so how can you pay them back?" Could it be that you said that if you pay back a thousand taels, he said that if you pay 10,000 taels, you will pay 10,000 taels?

Secondly, you all say that you were blackmailed, and the evidence is not very clear. Who knows if Lu Dao took the initiative to bribe? If you want to pay a bribe to a eunuch and ask for the bribe back, then you can't help but ignore the official?

Speaking of which, the facts are not clear, how can the official return it? This official is the overseer of grain, how can I have time for you to distinguish one by one! It's better to do things according to the rules, and it's best to confiscate ill-gotten gains into the official! ”

This made everyone feel helpless for a while, could it be that the eunuch Wang would open a receipt as evidence after extorting money? Lord Qincha's eloquence is so good, and the shirking kung fu is also perfect, so that they don't know how to open their mouths when they want to speak.

After a moment of coldness, the squire surnamed Zhang asked unconvinced: "Is there no other way?" My family's money, calligraphy and paintings were taken away by the eunuch Wang in vain, but I can't get them back? ”

Fang Yingwu sneered: "You also know that the Dao was taken away by Eunuch Wang, so you can ask Eunuch Wang to come back, but what are you doing here?" ”

This person couldn't hold back Fang Yingwu's sarcastic face, and retorted: "The property is now here, isn't it the opposite thing for us to go to the eunuch Wang?" I can only come to you, Lord Fang. ”

Broken! The others were slightly shocked, how could such words be easy to say? If you really say it, isn't it equivalent to saying: Your Lord Fang is easier to bully than the eunuch, so we don't dare to go to the eunuch, we only dare to find your Lord Fang to make trouble!

What official can stand this tone? Not to mention the minister who has just expelled the procurement eunuch and is in full swing!

However, Fang Yingwu didn't get angry, but smiled, "Actually, it's not without a way, if you encounter a money dispute, you can go to the official!" You can go to the yamen to sue the eunuch Wang, saying that the eunuch has extorted some money and antiques and calligraphy from you, and after the yamen has heard it clearly, it will naturally return it as appropriate!

As the saying goes, if you don't file a lawsuit, I think it's tantamount to thinking you're unlucky!

Besides, if there is no clear lawsuit, Ben Qincha will return the finances to Lu at will, wouldn't it become a private grant?

Spread the rumors, others still think there is some inside story, if it is determined that the official is in it, then the official has a mouth and can't tell! ”

When everyone heard this, they wanted to vomit blood, what is superficial kung fu, this is superficial kung fu! went to the yamen to sue the eunuch, and the loss of the party can be said, since ancient times, I have never heard of suing the eunuch!

Let's not say that Wang Jing is still in Jiangnan and hasn't left, who dares to guarantee that he won't retaliate back? Besides, Wang Jing is a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, and if he sues the official, he will bring the lawsuit to the Son of Heaven, isn't that equivalent to giving the Son of Heaven eye medicine?

Seeing everyone talking to each other and whispering, Fang Yingwu suddenly said in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "When my generation acts, what I want is to be bright and fair!" The money handled must withstand the doubts of the people of the world and the test of future generations!

If you want to do things secretly in private and work in a black box, the official thinks it is not advisable, but when you think of what happened to you, I won't blame you, please go back! ”

It has also become a sin to ask for the money that has been extorted? Everyone couldn't help but be at a loss in their minds, where is this truth?

Seeing everyone leave in a huff, Wang Ying took a sip, and the other party responded: "This generation of villains is also afraid of power but not virtue!" ”

Fang Yingwu sighed: "Yes, they are afraid of eunuchs, they are afraid of tigers, but they are not afraid of me!" When the property was with Wang Jing, they didn't dare to say a word, but when they turned to me, they dared to join hands and come to the door to ask for it."

In fact, the reason is also simple, Fang Yingwu himself is a representative of this class, and it is impossible to treat the gentry group as cruelly and without a bottom line like the eunuchs, and others naturally understand this. (To be continued......)

PS: Yesterday I talked to others about the adaptation of old books, although there is little hope, but I always have to work hard, so I delayed the update, make up for it, and there is still today.
