Chapter 167: Could it be a personal vendetta?
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Emperor Xuanqing's decree was soon announced to the world.
Having to clear a charge is a great step forward for Pei Xie Tang. Holding the transcript of the text and looking at it repeatedly, she smiled a little stupidly: "It's really not easy, Lao Tzu carries this corrupt name, how can it feel like pressing a mountain." ”
"This is just the first step." Gao Xingzhi smiled: "Next, we still have a long way to go. ”
"No, no, I can bear other crimes, but this one, I really can't bear it. You say I kill people, but I have killed fewer people over the years? Say that I set the fire, and I did set the fire, which is undeniable; As for those who buy and sell officials and lords, it's not a big wrong. Oh yes, there's also a bullying township, and I'm not convinced. But I've been in Jiling City for so many years, and when I want to say that I'm not domineering, I seem to be a little bit uncomfortable with my conscience. Pei Xie Tang smiled.
The only thing she is not convinced about is this corruption.
She has never been greedy, she has never taken anyone's money, and she can't say anything about her conscience.
That gas!
Now it's okay, it's gone!
She closed the text and fell into the chair in a good mood: "My tone is smooth, Lao Gao, you say, what reward do you want?" ”
"I don't want anything." Gao Xingzhi looked at her, his eyebrows curled: "I touched the truth of the bottom you revealed to me last time, but Emperor Xuanqing wanted to open a new Fang market on the bank of the Linshui River." ”
"Did you buy a shop?" Pei Xie Tang was overjoyed.
Gao Xingzhi snapped open the fan: "Then you still need to say?" There are 47 shops along the riverside, and I have taken them all. ”
"Forty-seven? Could it be too much? Pei Xie Tang was shocked, and secretly calculated in his heart, if the forty-seven families took it, it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Gao Xingzhi had so much capital?
His business is very large, but it takes a lot of money to maintain it, can he turn it over?
Gao Xing stopped: "Not much. Although I bought forty-seven, I didn't plan to hold them all in my own hands. When the decree is given, I will throw out some of it. If it were all in my hands, I was afraid that His Majesty would order my house to be raided. He covered his face and smiled: "This time we will take stock and settle, let alone we can earn 10,000 taels of silver." Half is divided with you, and you also have 5,000 taels of dividends in your account. ”
"I'm going to go back and talk to the basket in a moment, sweep the shrine in the house, and replace it with your portrait." Pei Xie Tang's eyes were shining.
Gao Xingzhi snorted: "I don't need to offer it, treat me well with good food and drink." ”
"I've got you covered!" Pei Xie Tang patted his chest.
Gao Xing stopped: "In the past, you were the lord of Tai'an, and you could cover me." Now you are the third miss of the Xie family, you can't cover me, if something happens, most of the time I will cover you. ”
"Then it can't be helped." Pei Xie Tang spread his hands: "It seems that I am a life of eating and drinking in front of you." ”
Gao Xing looked at her: "Don't have any other plans in the future?" ”
"Let's wait until this is over." Pei Xie Tang knew what he was talking about, and leaned over to screw him with a smile: "Don't worry, I can't stay in this capital, and sooner or later I will have to leave." I want to go back to Jiling City, no matter how good the capital is, it is not my home after all, not where I grew up. And ......" she glanced at the majestic imperial city and smiled: "The people here are busy intriguing. fell into a fight, and finally ended up in a different place, it is better to go to the battlefield and fight him to the death. ”
"Okay, without the county lord of Tai'an, perhaps, there will be one more female general in the Eastern Continent in the future!" Gao Xingzhi smiled and said: "When you hold the military power, I can use your majesty to fake the tiger." ”
"It's a deal." Pei Xie Tang stretched out his hand.
Gao Xingzhi patted: "You have to take me with you wherever you go, so it's decided." ”
Pei Xie Tang called his He Mansleeve, Xu Danshi, and Chen Zhouwei again: "When will Li Shangxi come back?" ”
"The timing is uncertain. He sent the witness back, but there was no news of him. Chen Zhouwei tugged at his hair a little dissatisfied: "Everyone said that they would all come to the capital to gather after they finished their work, but he dragged it out." ”
"I think there's something more important." Pei Xie Tang said with a smile: "I'm in a hurry to go back to Xie's house, and I'll explain some things to you first." The things that asked you to check last time were investigated properly, and now He Mansleeve is in charge of the Ghost Raising Pavilion, and you all help him. Isn't Gao Xingzhi going to open a city on the bank of the Linshui River? When the time comes, I will give you a few shops and hand them over to you to operate. Whether I can make money or not is secondary, and the most important thing is that I want to develop the Fang City side into the hall of the Ghost Pavilion, where there are many people, it is most convenient to listen to the news. ”
"Okay." Several people nodded.
He Mansleeve muttered, "County Lord, we found Li Xi, won't we deal with him after that?" ”
I'm still worried about Li Xi destroying Pei Xietang's corpse!
Pei Xie Tang's eyes were full of cunning: "Who said not to deal with him?" Let's do it! ”
"You have his handle?" Gao Xingzhi was surprised.
Pei Xie Tang said: "If you don't have a handle, can't you get some interest first?" I remember when I was in the Northwest, Li Xi had a bad temper and he was very gambling. ”
"yes. This person has a high gambling personality and poor character, and he is always a loser. Xu Danshi smiled: "Just here I am, he still owes me a few hundred taels of silver." ”
"There are so many gambling houses in the capital, there is always a place that is his lair." Pei Xie Tang rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Zhouwei: "You are a master in the casino, go ahead, let him Li Xi collect some interest." ”
"Yes!" Chen Zhouwei received the order with a smile: "County Lord, how much do you want to win him, you give me a quasi-number!" ”
"Bankrupt." Pei Xie Tang threw out four words.
Chen Zhouwei smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyebrows: "Okay." If he Li Xi still has one son left, even if I Chen Zhouwei is not effective, please punish the county lord. ”
This is full of confidence!
Pei Xie Tang laughed and walked away.
Chen Zhouwei did what he said, and after getting Pei Xietang's order, he began to search for Li Xi in the whole capital the next day. lived up to expectations, and in the evening, he was finally found in a secret gambling house in the north of the city. Chen Zhouwei received two thousand taels of silver from Gao Xingzhi as capital, and then entered the gambling house to start his own fishing game.
Pei Xie Tang didn't care about him anymore, Chen Zhouwei has always been very reliable in handling things, and she doesn't worry about it at all.
Back in Manjiangting, everything was quiet, lying on the bed, but Pei Xie Tang couldn't sleep.
Excited, is it not just so calm in splashing ink Ling Fang?
She has always been upright, she doesn't like corruption and bribery, and she has always believed in the principle of wanting to earn money for herself, and she feels really uncomfortable when such a stigma is imposed. As soon as this hat was removed, I felt that everything was much lighter and my head was much clearer.
I turned it over and over, but I kept thinking about another thing in my head.
The Meng family.
She never imagined that the Meng family would be so involved in this case. Who is Meng Tingping? The most famous first-class merit in the court, Emperor Xuanqing's right-hand man, if there was no such person, Emperor Xuanqing might have been just a defeated general under Zhu Guangyi, and he would not be able to sit on this throne. Who would have thought that his two sons would be deeply involved in corruption cases, let alone that Meng Tingping could be so ruthless in treating his own flesh and blood.
The two sons of the Meng family were sentenced to be executed, which is probably a heartache for Meng Tingping.
The two sons who were beheaded are the two children he cultivates the most on weekdays!
Pei Xie Tang quietly looked at his wrist and couldn't suppress a sneer.
The most cultivated son is probably just a chess piece in the palm of Meng Tingping's hand, right? When you can use it, you will try your best to cultivate, and when you can't use it, you will kick it out to make a back!
Who doesn't know that Meng Jinyi, the most powerful person by Meng Tingping's side, although Meng Jinyi has not been caught yet, it will be sooner or later. Meng Jinyi, a housekeeper, has the guts to embezzle 30,000 taels of silver? It is said that the two sons of the Meng family are corrupt, but who are those two sons obeying, and who is Meng Jinyi obeying, isn't the answer clear at a glance?
This old fox!
Pei Xie Tang turned over again, and suddenly sat up.
Did Meng Tingping step on himself, or did he do it on purpose?
Her murder came suddenly, and within a few days, she was accused of embezzlement and found 50,000 taels of silver. It's only a few days before and after, and even if the news is delivered, it's too late.
Can the Meng family predict whether the prophet will succeed?
Pei Xie Tang smiled coldly: No, it is not necessarily an unpredictable prophet!
After being reborn, she no longer believes in coincidences and chances. So, what did she ignore in the beginning?
Meng Jia......
The Meng family is friendly with the Chen family......
The Meng family and the Chen family both supported His Royal Highness the Prince; The guards beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once came to the prison to "visit" him cordially, telling him that it was Zhu Xinzhi who designed all this, but now, Zhu Xinzhi was not suspicious at all, but the Meng family and the Chen family surfaced one after another. originally thought that the prince and Zhu Xinzhi had a deep brotherhood, and he couldn't bear to let Zhu Xinzhi treat himself so ruthlessly, but now it seems that this is not exactly the case.
Could it be that the prince wants to get rid of her Pei Xie Tang?
But why?
Pei Xie Tang held his head and tried hard to think about what he had offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if it was really this person who did it, then what was the reason?
For the sake of military power? No, now that the Hantong Army is in the hands of Zhu Xin, the crown prince has not benefited;
For networking? It's not right, the power in her hands is limited, and after her death, there is only one more overseer in the army, and no one else has intervened. Enter;
For Zhu Xinzhi? The prince seems to have warned himself that he must be single-minded to Zhu Xin, and he can barely say a word or two, but earlier, the prince had also ridiculed the lord of Tai'an, if he wants to get Zhu Xinzhi's experience, he seems to want to contribute, and this reason is untenable.
Involuntarily, Pei Xie Tang thought of what Gao Xingzhi said before.
Between you and the prince...... Could it be a personal vendetta?
