Chapter 614: Calculation in the Heart

Zhang Qingming saw Chu Huaiyuan's name at the beginning, and his subconscious reaction was that Chu Huaiyuan spent money to buy an official in the capital?

Today, the imperial court is ruled by relatives, and their politics are not clear. It is said that the officials of the capital and their subordinates were corrupt and perverted the law, and under the leadership of the Pang Guo Mansion, they began to buy and sell official positions. There is a clear price code for official positions at all levels.

It is said that for tens of thousands of taels of silver, you can buy an official of four or five grades.

If this was Chu Huaiyuan's past, Zhang Qingming would not believe it. He could not afford to buy off the officials of the capital.

But now, Chu Huaiyuan's daughter is the future young grandmother of the Lu family. Lu Gongzi gave Chu Huaiyuan money and asked him to walk around the capital to buy an official for Chu Huaiyuan. It's not impossible.

However, Zhang Qingming knows that even officials who spend money to buy should have complete procedures and be real officials.

The officials would also transfer the order from the capital to the provincial capital, then to the Shunde Prefecture, and then to his small county office.

Where is such an order? From the capital to the county government, there are so many links missing.

What's more, Zhang Qingming listened to the meaning of the man in black. He asked Zhang Qingming to tell Chu Huaiyuan that the order was issued from the capital.

In other words, as Zhang Qingming guessed, this is a fake!

The task given to Zhang Qingming by the man in black was not only to stamp the official seal of the county government on the official document, but also to convince Chu Huaiyuan that the official document was true!

So, is Chu Huaiyuan's official position fake?

Was Chu Huaiyuan deceived by spending money?

Zhang Qingming didn't answer the man in black immediately, but thought about how many possibilities there were in his heart?

This is the only possibility.

It must have been Chu Huaiyuan who discovered a fake way to bribe officials.

Since the business of selling officials is so good, there must be many people doing this business behind the scenes.

He took money from the officials and gave him a fake order.

Even if the person who buys an official is deceived, it is illegal to buy and sell an official. If he is deceived, he will be completely deceived. There was no way to appeal, he could only be bullied.

Maybe Chu Huaiyuan was deceived like this!

Don't know how much money I was scammed out of this time? Looking at the order that said Wupin Jingguan, he thought it wouldn't be less than 30,000 taels of silver, wouldn't he?

Zhang Qingming thought to himself, Chu Huaiyuan is really stupid. He was cheated out of so much silver!

However, this is self-inflicted!

If you don't follow the right path and rely on your daughter and son-in-law to buy officials, even if you are deceived, you should be unlucky!

"Hero, it's illegal. How dare I cover it?" Zhang Qingming is a smart man. He didn't want to get himself in trouble.

Although, he was very upset when he saw Chu Huaiyuan recently. He wanted to deal with Chu Huaiyuan.

However, Zhang Qingming did not dare to talk about trading officials.

Now, the direction of the court situation is not very clear, but in case the little emperor is in power, what if he is discovered?

"Zhang County Order, how do you know that this is illegal? Murder or arson? I just wanted you to do me a small favor. It seems that Zhang Xianling doesn't care about his own life for Chu Huaiyuan's sake? What's more, the lives of your wife and children are not needed?"

The man in black said, pulling out the short knife stuck in the table. Zhang Qingming's eyes were stung by the sharp blade.

Zhang Qingming is just a small county magistrate, not a messenger of justice. On the other side was a sharp knife that threatened the lives of him and his family. Of course, Zhang Qingming could not be a hero at this time.

"The heroes are merciful. I'll do as you say. Don't worry, I'll get it right!"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will be done."

"Of course, you can rest assured!" Zhang Qingming carefully put the note back into the envelope, held the envelope in his arms, and stretched out his hands to protect it. He was worried that the light next to him would accidentally shine on the envelope and cause it to burn it.

This envelope is like his life now, like the life of his wife and children. Zhang Qingming felt that it did not dare to be careless at all.
