Chapter 112: Another Village
Above the lobby, this Sun Lingse felt extremely frightened.
"Well, the official has already found out all the things you have done, if you admit it frankly, maybe it can give you a glimmer of life, otherwise, the official will no longer just target your 3,000 acres of fertile land, that is, all your property, the official can also be returned to the treasury."
Runzhi said this, especially "return to the treasury", which obviously raised a lot of tone.
This made this Sun Lingse already feel very anxious.
Because he had already heard the officials of the state government put it away, the new governor had always loved to help the common people fight grievances, and did not pay attention to ordinary gold and silver, so that his heart gradually became anxious.
He was so anxious that he was shocked from the inside out.
He naturally understands that it is very difficult to buy it, and he used to rely on buying those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he used to borrow countless properties, in his eyes, only money is omnipotent, and it is absolutely impossible without money.
This notion is naturally closely related to one of his experiences.
That was in the year Han Bok had just died.
Because there was a land dispute between the local peasants and him.
In order to settle this controversy, he went to the local state capital.
But every time, every time I was disappointed.
And so it came down just when he was about to give up completely.
His wife reminded him, "I heard that the officials of the Tuan Prefecture were very greedy, so it was better to give them a silver tael directly, so that they could feel the favor, and naturally they could travel unhindered." ”
"If it makes sense, I'll try"
After listening to his wife's words, he hurriedly prepared a silver ticket of one thousand taels and came to the state capital again, the government officials were still the kind of slow and unapproachable look, after all, the case could only increase the burden of the state officials, for these people, this only increased their own troubles, and sometimes even thankless.
"It's hard to win this case, you have to pay for it yourself!" , the local prefect privately scolded him for doing so.
If it was before, he didn't know the connotation of this sentence, but because of his wife's reminder, he immediately understood the original meaning of this sentence.
So, this Sun Lingse immediately said slyly:
"My lord, I know that you have worked hard for my case, please accept this meaning, and use it to buy some supplements, a little heart, I hope your lord will not shirk it."
This name, Yao Fucai's prefect, first shirked and said:
"This, I am an official of the imperial court, how can I accept the people's silver taels privately, it is not appropriate, Mr. is still good to take it back, Mr.'s case, I must have been a colleague and handled it impartially, I hope Mr. will go home and wait for us to inform you of it!"
Sun Lingse didn't see such a scene, and he really wanted to take back the silver ticket.
It's just that inadvertently, I saw this prefect looking at this silver ticket of one thousand taels and licking his saliva.
It turned out that although the adults of this state capital had a lot of money, because Yongzheng recruited officials on a large scale, so that there were many *****, so the overall income of the prefect was not much, and it was only higher than that of ordinary rich people.
Seeing a dozen thick silver tickets in Sun Lingse's hand, the prefect was naturally very heartfelt, after all, he thought that his parents were old, but he finally passed the single-plank bridge of one out of ten thousand, and became a prefect with the help of this imperial examination.
However, the salary is only enough to support three or four wives and concubines, you must know that even this Sun Lingse has more than a dozen wives and concubines.
Wouldn't it be a great loss to let a person with a dozen wives and concubines come to beg me, and there are only three or four wives and concubines, so I don't take the opportunity to make a fortune?
"My lord, this is just a little bit of heart, I hope the adults will accept it, a little heart, it is really not a respect, if the adults don't accept it, how can people be embarrassed, people simply hit their heads and die"
When it came to this "headlong crash", this Sun Lingse deliberately raised his tone a little, as if he was really going to crash into the wall next to him.
At this moment, in a private place in this state capital, there are only two people, Sun Lingse and Yao Fucai.
Naturally, this Sun Lingse will not really be killed because of this, but he is just deliberately stimulating this prefect and has already expressed his intentions.
"In this way, the official will accept it for the time being, Mr. doesn't know, the yamen has been nervous recently, the official is in trouble, Mr.'s gold and silver, that can be described as a charcoal in the snow, so it is regarded as the silver that the official borrowed from Mr., and when the prefect's yamen has enough silver, the official will return Mr.'s silver, and the official has temporarily thanked Mr. on behalf of the yamen!"
This Yao Governor's Mansion, a mouthful of a "sir", was unthinkable before.
Before seeing the silver ticket, every time Runzhi came, the prefect was afraid of wasting his precious time drinking tea, watering flowers, and outings with many colleagues, where he would give this Sun Lingse a good look.
"Otherwise, I'll make an IOU for Mr., and when the time comes, Mr. can naturally rely on this IOU to come to the yamen at any time to retrieve the silver ticket", this Yao Zhifu said, his mouth was like this, and sure enough, he had prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand.
Sun Lingse hurriedly stopped it, and then forced a smile and said:
"As the so-called gentleman said, it is difficult to chase a horse, Confucius said: People have no faith, I don't know what they can do, I believe in the credibility of adults, so this IOU is absolutely unopenable"
In this way, the prefect Yao put down the pen and ink in his hand and said:
"It is reasonable, it is worthy of being the first talent in the township examination of the state government that year, the talent is high, and it is really admirable, so, the county where you are located, just by the gentleman's random scheduling, if necessary, you can come to the state capital at any time"
seemed to remember something, and gave another look, and said: "Just come directly to the official, but if you have any requests, you will give priority to them."
In this way, after this, whenever Sun Lingse encountered anything, he would directly come to the cluster to find the Yao Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, the governor is personally trying the case, except for the curtain of the saint, there is no one who can help to get the governor of a place, after all, this is not as simple as an official, this is a veritable feudal official.
Naturally, before coming to the governor's yamen, this was only one of the scenes that Sun Lingse had guessed with a changeable mind, and it was one of the scenes he feared the most.
The reason why he was so afraid was because Sun Lingse had also asked the intentions of the corrupt officials in front of the current saints in the court before he came, but the cost of his prescription was too high.
According to his estimates, if he wanted to buy the corrupt officials in front of the Holy Heaven again, he would have to pay at least 10,000 taels of silver, plus 500,000 taels of gold, which he could not afford.
Therefore, unlike usual, he didn't choose to bribe these silver pieces in advance to the corrupt officials around Emperor Yongzheng, so at this moment, he had a deep fear in his heart.
Originally, he was still holding a fluke mentality, thinking that this governor might be like those corrupt officials who eat people and don't spit out bones, and maybe he would also hint that he paid bribes in time, but it was just a matter of the amount of money.
But it was evident that there was no such thought in the governor's tone, and this could not help but surprise him, so much so that he felt a mysterious sense of fear.
As a result, the idea that Sun Lingse thought that there would always be "another village with bright willows and flowers" was completely in vain.
