Chapter 160: The two of them discussed, let's pit him for money
As soon as the county magistrate heard that he was going to sue the royal court, he immediately became nervous.
At any time, these officials are afraid of suing the emperor.
Whether you win or don't, the impact is always bad.
Although Chen Dashan may not be able to win the lawsuit when he goes to Daliangzao to sue, his relationship with Shangfeng is not bad, and he sends people to deal with it every year.
However, he didn't know what nobles he met to help.
Or is it in the ears of the king, so that he must not suffer?
If there is a slight mistake, it will be a devastating blow to his career.
Therefore, he can't afford to take the slightest risk.
What's more, now that General Gu obviously wants to take care of this matter, he can't help but be interested.
He hurriedly said, "What does the general mean?" ”
"Chen Dashan originally wanted to file a complaint with Da Liangzao, but I stopped him.
That's why I'm so fierce that you come to me with your head up.
If I don't make it more serious, I'm afraid you don't take it seriously. ”
"The general is very thoughtful and thoughtful." The county master hurriedly said.
He asked, "Then, in the general's opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”
"I think give him some money and appease him well, and this matter will be turned into a small matter.
If he doesn't sue for anything, you can sit back and relax, the best of both worlds. ”
As soon as the county magistrate heard that he was going to take the money, he felt a little painful, but when the general said it, he had to go down and say, if he dared to resist, he might not be able to get out of Qingniu Town today.
When the time comes, he will be clicked, and the black and white will not all depend on them?
Even if the king is discerning, it is impossible for him to turn against the general because of a county order, waiting for more people to be officials.
One less of him, no less.
The Great General is different.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "What the general said is, but I don't know how much to give?" ”
"How much to give, this depends on your own discussion.
Money can make ghosts grind, as long as you can suppress this matter, it is worth any amount of money.
Your official is still your official, and he has also landed a benefit, the best of both worlds. ”
"Then there is still General Lao Da in the middle of this matter." The county magistrate hurriedly gave up.
He was not happy in his heart, it was obvious that General Gu wanted to meddle in this matter, but now he asked him to come forward to take care of this nosy.
However, no matter how much money is spent, the general's connections are opened, and he can speak.
"Well said, well said. Someone else was on an errand in my Gu Mansion, and I asked someone to call him over.
Please also ask Lord Hu to recuse himself. Gu Yuanzheng said that he asked people to invite Chen Dashan.
and let the county master hide behind the screen.
Chen Dashan came over soon and saw Gu Yuanzheng and gave a fist salute.
Gu Yuanzheng gave him a look, and Chen Dashan immediately knew that the county master was behind the screen.
But he pretended not to know anything, and said, "I don't know what the master has to tell the little one?" ”
Gu Yuanzheng said: "I already know about you, yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding.
If you want to go to Daliang to sue the royal court, you have to take a big risk, the road is far away and not to mention, when you get to Daliang, you are not blind?
Aren't ordinary people living a safe and stable life?
What's more, who will take care of your mother, wife and children when you leave?
Why don't you listen to me, let's turn big things into small things, what do you think? ”
"They came to our house in broad daylight to arrest people for no reason, I don't want to say anything about this, how can I be willing?
How will people from our village laugh at me?
What's more, who knows if they will retaliate against me in the future?
So, there has to be an explanation for this. Chen Dashan said.
General Gu said, "How do you listen to my arrangement for this matter?" ”
Chen Dashan was silent.
Gu Yuanzheng's tone was cold, as if he was threatening him, and said, "Could it be that you don't listen to my words either?" ”
Chen Dashan clenched his fists at him and said, "Everything depends on the uncle." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer, so let's do it, this matter is indeed the fault of the county master, I asked him to give you a sum of money to make you suppressed.
Your family is also living in peace, don't think about going to Daliang to file a complaint, what do you think? ”
Chen Dashan said: "That's okay, it's not okay to take less." ”
"And how much do you want?"
As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers to Chen Dashan.
Five fingers, it can't be five taels, that's five hundred taels.
Although five hundred taels sounds a bit unbelievable, this dog official has always liked fish and flesh and the people, and there must be a lot of people's fat and ointment in his hand.
So for five hundred taels, he probably didn't blink an eye.
He thought of the price Su Wat asked for when he bought the black bear, which was jaw-dropping.
So he was heartbroken, and said, "Okay, let him bring a thousand taels of silver." ”
Gu Yuanzheng was a little stunned when he heard him open his mouth and let the family take a thousand taels of silver.
I've really seen a lot of money, and I don't even care about five hundred taels of silver.
He asked for a thousand taels when he opened his mouth, twice as much as he thought in his heart.
How dare he ask for it?
But since he wants it out, presumably this county master can also get it.
People like them who are officials value their official position more than anything else.
Because if you keep the official, you keep the money.
Without officials, there is nothing.
When the county magistrate heard him open his mouth and ask for a thousand taels of silver, his chest became even tighter, as if he had pressed another stone.
How dare he ask for it?
If it weren't for General Gu's face, it would be strange if he didn't find someone to beat him.
No, his men couldn't beat him.
When he was still thinking about what method to use to deal with Chen Dashan, Gu Yuanzheng asked, "What did you say?" Do you really want a thousand taels of silver?
Don't you want to think about it, this is silver, not the copper coin called by your angels, don't you want to think that others can take it? ”
Chen Dashan said: "I don't care, if you want to understand privately, just take a thousand taels of silver, or I will go to Daliang to file a complaint."
I have to get this county master down, otherwise we won't be able to stay in Qinghe County.
Sooner or later, he will not take revenge on us? ”
He said this sentence directly, and the county magistrate was angry.
What a bold man, how dare he speak so wildly?
He also thought that Gu Yuanzheng was going to reprimand him, after all, saying this would be a big rebellion.
However, he never expected that Gu Yuanzheng said: "I can understand your concerns, but things still have to be discussed, since ancient times, buying and selling have different hearts, so you give me a face, less than two hundred taels."
I promise he won't retaliate against you in the future, what do you think? ”
Chen Dashan asked, "Is it really possible?" ”
"Absolutely."
"Are you sure that the county master will not come to take revenge on us in the future? Won't find fault with us? ”
"No, absolutely not."
"That's okay, then it's decided, eight hundred taels, not a penny less."
