Chapter 61: The Prince's Bribe

"What?"

"Today in the Bowen Museum, I was accidentally bumped into, he went to help me, I can feel the power of his palm, it is by no means the internal strength that a person who has been poisoned for many years and is weak should have."

Wan Bingyu looked at Heng Xinyuan, and both of them seemed to have a unified answer in their hearts.

A series of things involved in this theft, the most headache may be Wang Zhong of Jingzhao Mansion, although this person does not stand on any party on the surface, but in fact, he belongs to the wall, which side is not offended, which side of the favor is sold, which prince under the people in the past committed something, he played a sloppy eye and passed, but now the emperor actually sent Dali Temple to take charge of it together, this original Wei Nuo is a hard bone, has always been iron-faced and selfless, this matter is difficult to do.

In Jingzhao Mansion, Wang Zhong was walking back and forth in the living room, his face was sad.

"Lord Wang, why did you say that His Majesty sent Dali Temple to preside over this case with our Jingzhao Mansion?" Shen Yuanzhi, who was beside him, asked in a low voice.

"How do I know this!" Wang Zhong yelled in distraught, "As soon as this incident came out yesterday, the prince sent someone to deliver a message, saying that let's do it perfunctory as usual, and charge that butcher with any crime, and it's over. ”

Shen Yuanzhi's eyes rolled, and he came up with a method, "Lord Wang, why don't you invite Lord Yuan to come here today, reveal the prince's intentions to him a little, and see how he reacts, if he is willing to sell the prince's favor, of course it is a good thing, if he is unwilling, then you can also say in the future that you are instructed by the prince, coercion and temptation...... In short, I can't blame you for it......"

Wang Zhong thought about it carefully and felt that it was so good, no matter what the two of them were fighting, as long as they didn't get involved, holding their jobs was more important than anything else.

As he was talking, an errand came to report outside the door, and Lord Qingyuan of Dali Temple had arrived.

He hurriedly ordered someone to make a pot of fresh Tieguanyin and went out to greet him.

"Hey, Lord Yuan, why are you here in person?" Wang Zhong licked a smiling face.

Yuan Wei Nuoke has never eaten this set, waved his hand, and got straight to the point, "Lord Wang doesn't have to be so formal, this official came here today to take a look at the case file of the butcher's theft, and trouble Lord Wang." ”

Wang Zhong didn't answer his words, but waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Lord Yuan, why are you in such a hurry when you come from afar, I have just made Tieguanyin tea here, can you come in and taste it?" Let's take the long view, how? ”

As soon as Yuan Vino saw his shining eyes, he knew that he must have something to say, so he didn't shirk it anymore and followed him to the living room.

After three rounds of tea, Wang Zhong has been talking nonsense about some irrelevant antiques and poetry collections, but he has not mentioned a word about the case.

Yuan Weinuo was a little impatient, and put the teacup in his hand on the table, "Lord Wang, this tea has been almost drunk, and this antique vase has been chatting for a long time, shouldn't we talk about the case?" Your Majesty, but you're still waiting. ”

"This ...... The original adult said that the adult said that the ...... However, there is something unclear about the lower officials, and they also ask for the advice of the original adult. Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"What's the matter? Lord Wang, please speak. ”

"Xia Guan has been seeking a position in the court for more than ten years, I don't know the laws in this officialdom, the original lord can understand, there is a way, the water is clear, there is no fish, and the person is not a disciple, if a person is too honest, then he will lose the opportunity to be promoted, the original lord, do you say?"

Yuan Weinuo only glanced at him, and then knew the wishful thinking in his heart, but he didn't expose him immediately, but just smiled, "Lord Wang, you and I have been officials for many years, don't you know that those who are officials should take the temple as their own responsibility, if they only care about personal officials and knights, and ignore justice and justice, then even if they become a first-class marquis in the future, what about it?" ”

After hearing this, Wang Zhong's heart was filled with weakness, and he stammered, "Yes, yes...... What did Hara-sama say...... But you also know that the crown prince will ascend to the throne in the future, and the situation between the DPRK and China will inevitably change dramatically.......

"Lord Wang doesn't need to say much!" Yuan Wei Nuo slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and straightened his back, "Since I am different from Lord Wang and Dao, then there is no need to say more, I still ask Lord Wang to take out the case file, and I can leave." ”

Wang Zhong saw that Yuan Weinuo was the most soft and hard person, so he had no choice but to give up, let people take out Li Si's case file and hand it to him, and when Yuan Weinuo just walked out of Jingzhao Mansion on the front foot, he also had some regret in his heart.

It shouldn't have been so obvious in front of the original Vino.

was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, and Master Chen in the palace came to visit.

"Master Chen? What is the wind that is blowing you? Wang Zhong bowed and stepped forward with a licking dog on his face.

Master Chen relied on the fact that he was a subordinate of the prince, so he naturally didn't take everyone seriously, and said arrogantly, "Lord Wang, I won't go around in circles with you, here is a hundred taels of silver, you can count it." ”

As he spoke, he asked the attendant who followed behind him to hold a cage, opened it and saw that it was really a hundred taels of silver with white flowers and flowers, Wang Zhong, a man who loves money, couldn't open his eyes when he saw so much money and silver.

He asked with a flattering smile on his face, "Master Chen...... What does this prince mean? ”

"Lord Wang, what the prince means is that he wants you to take care of Li Si's case a lot, but he is just a butcher, just give him any charge, and it will be over if he is disposed of, why take up too much of your time?"

Wang Zhong knew that the prince's intention was just to let him dispose of Li Si before the case was clear, but this was not necessarily too risky.

"Master Chen...... If something goes wrong, the head of the lower official will be ......."

"What are you afraid of! Since the prince asks for you, he will naturally not let you have anything to do, if this matter is done, you will have a prosperous official fortune in the future, but it will be just around the corner. Master Chen patted him lightly on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Yes, yes...... But Master Chen, you are a step too late, Xia Guan originally wanted to detain Li Si's case file and add one or two strokes to it, but just now the original master of Dali Temple had already come and taken the case file away...... This subordinate ......"

"What? The original Vino has already been here? Master Chen's face changed, his voice suddenly increased, and his pupils gradually shrank, revealing a fierce light, "He's really positive...... Lord Wang, you just need to do your own thing, and don't worry about the rest. ”

Wang Zhong saluted again and again, "Thank you, prince...... When the prince said this, the lower officials were relieved. ”

After sending Master Chen away, the sweat on Wang Zhong's body was already soaked, and the muscles on his face were sour with laughter.

Shen Yuanzhi on the side was also shocked in his heart, "Lord Wang, according to the lower officials, this matter of the prince cannot be prevaricated......"
