The so-called minister's silver is the silver taels allocated by the imperial court to the yamen for ordinary use, and the yamen ushers in the silver that is needed to send and reward guests, and these money naturally cannot be taken out of the Yulu, but a separate account is allocated by the imperial court.

Originally, there was this kind of silver in the yamen above the state, and the hundred households of the Jinyiwei in Ulzhou were not qualified, but the Jinyiwei was a Jinyiwei after all, not only allocated in full, but also a lot of them, but the use of other yamen was slightly different, so it can be said that these are the activity funds of the school captains and wrestlers who go out to do business; Jin Yiwei went out to investigate the case, and it was all money for eating, drinking, and sleeping, and it was this silver that Fang Datong moved.

The number of ministers' silver in a year is nearly 10,000 taels, and more than 100 people in the 100 households of Ulzhou Jinyiwei regard this silver as extra extra money, and go out on an errand to receive a tael of silver, which costs only a small half, and the rest is all kicked in his pocket, Fang Datong is really poor, so he secretly moved the remaining three months of minister's money, and the amount is 3,000 taels of silver.

Fang Datong didn't want to be greedy for this silver, the minister's silver was registered in another account book, what year, month, day, who received the money to do what, how much was used, how much was handed over, there were clear records, and at the end of the year, it should be handed over to the Datong Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and then submitted to the Nanzhen Fusi for auditing; A small dip is fine, but a large amount of silver in your pocket and no name is a big deal.

Fang Datong instructed his secretary not to register the 3,000 taels of silver he had embezzled, and was going to find a way to return it next month, but he didn't expect that this book office was the 'second uncle of the hundred households under his command' that Jiang Bin said like a tongue twister; His second uncle told him about it; Fang Datong never expected that he would be upset by his own people, and the secretary office might also be angry that Fang Datong took three thousand taels of silver and put it in his pocket but didn't give him one tael, how can he say that he is also an insider, and he is treated so slowly, so he didn't think about helping him keep it secret at all.

As far as the other party Datong is concerned, this matter is enough to destroy everything for him, and he will be transferred out of the capital, and he can be regarded as a steward in Ulzhou, but if this matter is taught to the top, he will be considered to be sitting at the end of his hundred households, and he will be severely punished. If that is the case, the lady of the capital will not hesitate to draw a line with him, and the few concubines in Ulzhou will run faster than one another, and they are greedy for their own money and status, which Fang Da knows well.

"What minister's silver? What nonsense? Fang Datong said angrily.

Song Nan still has the lazy appearance of Piri Yangqiu: "There is no need to elaborate, you know it well, I don't dare to joke about this matter, and I have no intention of publicizing this matter to make Fang Baihu sad; However, Fang Baihu still sat down patiently and listened to me finish speaking, I invited you here today not to expose your old bottom, but there is a great good thing to fall on Fang Baihu's head, do you want to hear it? ”

Fang Datong had to listen, although he was thinking about how to block the mouths of these two people, and even considered the possibility of drawing a knife to sneak attack and cut down the two of them, but looking at Jiang Bin's thick arms and legs and the big pu knife on his waist, he quickly warned himself not to be impulsive, Jiang Bin's fierceness has long been famous, it is better to listen to what they want to do first.

Seeing Fang Datong reluctantly sit down, Song Nan smiled slightly and said, "Fang Baihu, if there is something that you need to help with now, it doesn't cost a knife or a shot, and after the matter is completed, there will be tens of thousands of taels of silver to take, are you willing to do it?" ”

Fang Datong snorted coldly: "Are you entertaining me?" How can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

Song Nan said: "Of course there is, not only can you get money, but you can also make a meritorious service, and teach your boss to look at you with admiration, what do you think?" ”

Fang Datong said: "Don't fucking detour, just say if you like to talk, don't say that Lao Tzu is gone, it's a big deal to give it to you two villains, what can you do?" ”

Song Nan smiled and glanced at Jiang Bin, who nodded slowly.

"That's right, have you heard about the Mongol Tartar attack on North Black Mountain Fort in Ulzhou three months ago?"

Fang Datong said: "Naturally, I heard that the Tartars raided overnight, there were a large number of people, and more than 20 soldiers in Montenegro Fort were killed and wounded, and I also reported this matter to the Zhenfu Division." ”

Song Nan said: "That's it, Black Mountain Fort is under the jurisdiction of Jiang Qianhu, on the day of the accident, Jiang Qianhu took leave to visit friends in Datong, but some people insisted on blaming Jiang Qianhu for this matter, and the military department will go to Ulzhou tomorrow, and Jiang Qianhu's military position is afraid that it will not be guaranteed." ”

Fang Datong wanted to say: It's about my birds. said in his mouth: "This is not fair, since Jiang Qianhu is on leave, the responsibility naturally cannot be attributed to him, who is so damn lacking in virtue and playing yin?" Those who play conspiracies will not die well! ”

Song Nan pretended not to know that he was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and lowered his voice and said: "It's not someone else, it's Wang Dan, the commander of the Ulzhou Guard." ”

Fang Datong was stunned and said, "Commander Wang? What is this for? Did Jiang Qianhu offend him? ”

Jiang Bin sighed and told him about the dispute with Wang Dan a few years ago because of the escape of the military household, and Fang Datong scolded in his heart: You deserve it! But he said, "This ...... Isn't this a communiqué vendetta? ”

Song Nan said: "Why not? As soon as the governor came to the examination this time, Wang Dan only needed to say a few words lightly, and Jiang Qianhu would be finished, after all, Black Mountain Fort belonged to the jurisdiction of Beiqianhu, and Jiang Qianhu was also responsible, and this black pot was rejected. ”

Fang Datong bit his lower lip and thought about it, "Do you want me to intercede?" ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "No, Jiang Qianhu has found evidence to prove his innocence in this matter." ”

"That's the end of it!"

"But the problem is, this evidence is too shocking, if it is announced, it will inevitably cause a huge shock, Jiang Qianhu and I really don't dare to announce it, think about it, only your Fang Baihu's Jinyiwei identity is the most suitable, if Fang Baihu is willing to come forward, Jiang Qianhu's future will be preserved."

Fang Datong was whetted his appetite, as an official of Jinyiwei, what he was afraid of was not an accident, but afraid of nothing, no incident means no merit and no intelligence, which is equivalent to doing nothing, in addition to the fierce battles in the walled fort outside the city, the city is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and the Jinyi Guard Yamen has nothing to do all day, which is also one of the reasons why there is no chance to transfer out of Ulzhou and return to the capital.

"What kind of evidence is it? Why bother with appetite? Say it. ”

Song Nan pretended to be mysterious, got up and looked around, and then walked to the back door of the small hotel and looked inside, and there was nothing strange around, then he returned to the grape trellis, and whispered: "Jiang Qianhu led people to attack the camp of the Tartar rangers at night last night, captured a Tartar leader, and wanted to kill him, but inadvertently got a shocking secret, the Tartar leader suddenly said that the night attack on the Black Mountain Fort that night was a report that I had no night patrol cavalry in Ulzhou Wei that night, so the Tartars dared to attack blatantly, and who are you who is the person who reported the news?" ”

"Who is it?" Fang Datong couldn't hide his excitement like an occupational disease, and asked with wide eyes.

"It is Chen Su, the pro-army general under the command of Wang."

Fang Datong sighed, hurriedly covering his mouth, his face changed greatly; Chen Su is the commander of Wang Dan's personal guard team under the command of Ulzhou Wei, and the other identity is Wang Dan's wife and brother, saying that Chen Su collaborated with the enemy, why is this so unreliable?

"Impossible, impossible." Fang Datong shook like a rattle.

"Hehe, what's even more exciting is still to come, then Chen Su was ordered by Wang Dan to go to ventilate and report the news, it was not Chen Su who collaborated with the enemy, but our Wang Commander made a collaboration with the enemy." Song Nan chuckled.

"That's even more nonsense, is Commander Wang full of food? How could such a thing be done? "Fang Datong's neck is about to be dislocated, how can this matter not be believed.

Song Nan said with a smile: "We don't believe it either, but the leader of the Tartars personally explained that he had a nose and eyes, and we didn't believe it at first, how could the king commander collaborate with the enemy?" Jiang Qianhu beat the tartar well, and the fight was almost out of breath, but this guy still bit it and didn't let go. ”

Fang Datong continued to shake his head and said, "But for what? The king's envoy was a hereditary lord, although he was only a marquis, and he had been favored by the emperor for several generations, how could he do such a thing? ”

Jiang Bin snorted and said: "I don't know my heart, the strange thing is that he has not been harassed by the Tartars once in the manor outside the northern city, but now that I think about it, it turns out that this is the reason." ”

Fang Datong said: "The manor of the Wang's commander has not been disturbed once? ”

Jiang Bin said: "Am I still telling lies? From Shilizhuang in the south to Twenty Mile Bridge in the north, tens of thousands of acres of fields and farms have never been harassed by Tartars, but the adjacent manors have been harassed many times. ”

Song Nan also said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence, as for why this is the case, we can't say clearly, so we feel that something is strange, and it is too important, I dare not announce it easily, in case it causes any riots, it is terrible, Wang Dan is the one who leads the troops." ”

Fang Datong's mind is not confused, on the one hand, he doesn't believe that this matter is true, on the other hand, he hopes that this matter is true, this is a big case, if he finds out this case, then the credit will be great, it is a certainty to go straight to thousands of households, and it is possible for the emperor to summon and commend him, and then he will be proud; But how does this matter sound so unreliable, Wang Dan has a lot of money and money, and his life is not good, how can he do such a stupid thing.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter, you can make public my misappropriation of the minister's silver, misappropriation of the minister's silver will only lose the official and will not lose his head, slandering the court members is going to raid the family and exterminate the clan, Lao Tzu is not a fool, this account is still settled." Fang Datong regained his senses and said with a gloomy face.

Jiang Bin was about to collapse, this matter was in vain, he felt a little unreliable, and sure enough, his worries were not superfluous, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, what should I do? Kill Fang Datong and then flee? Or do you want to continue with this flawed plan?
