Chapter 1623: It's Time for You to Get Some Blood
Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard Li Wanjiang's words?
The heart said that it would not let Lao Tzu be a messenger again, right? Your Majesty, you are so kind to your ministers and me, what hot potato, tricky cases, and dangerous errands are all for me to come!
"Xiao Chen, I think about it, this case can only be handed over to you to handle, so let Zhao Yu, Yuan Ren, and Gong Shouli assist you." Li Wanjiang really directly named Xiao Chen, "Secret investigation, don't make a statement, I don't limit your time limit, as long as I find out the truth, let me know what to do." ”
There is still room for this last sentence.
This is the decree, whether they want it or not, they can only take it head-on.
The food was unpleasant, and the taste was the same as chewing wax to finish the meal, and Li Wanjiang, who said that he was going to treat him, did not settle the bill, and in the end it was Xiao Chen's silver.
Anyway, this is not the first time, the emperor also said that he wanted to treat himself to Yihongyuan last time, and in the end it was Xiao Chen who paid the bill, but last time it was five thousand taels, and this time it was only five hundred taels, which is cheap for Xiao Chen.
"That's it, you just have to do your own thing, and I'll go back to the palace first." After coming out, Li Wanjiang waved his hand, and he was going to go first.
This tone seems to be to prevent a few people from asking for any more holy will, just do things directly, but even if you don't care about anything else, even if you don't care about anything else, you always have to reward a little bit for this case-handling fund, right?
"Your Majesty." Zhao Yu is also real, hurriedly caught up two steps, and whispered, "Since it is a secret investigation, then we have to give people a deposit of tens of thousands of silver today, and this case can also last, and there may be a lot of expenses in the future, the minister wants to get some case funds first, but he doesn't know where to get it?" ”
He didn't have this money in Fengyang Mansion.
"Hehe, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, you Zhao Yu is still Fengyang Mansion, and after so many years, don't you even have such a little silver? The right is on the mat, and I will finally give it to you when I turn around, and now it is inconvenient for you to get the money from anywhere, and there are many people who have passed through it, and it is inevitable that the secret will be leaked. Li Wanjiang said.
That being said, it makes sense, but the problem is that Zhao Yu is really the Qing Governor's Mansion, not to mention 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and all his current savings and property are only a few thousand taels of silver......
If you ask me to advance such a huge amount of money, even if I start embezzling now, it will be too late, okay!
"Okay, don't grin with me, I know you're incorruptible, but those two may not be." Li Wanjiang glanced at Xiao Chen and Gong Shouli as he spoke, smiled meaningfully, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
There were only a few people left staring at each other, each messy in the autumn wind.
"I know you're not good!" Xiao Chen scolded Gong Shouli, "What the hell, you can't stop just being a man again?" It's also a foreign house, and it's a drama maker, for fear that the emperor won't know where you are corrupt? ”
"Lao Tzu is not greedy for money and lustful, can he still be like you as a great official to glorify his ancestors, and be a clean official and leave a name for eternity?" Gong Shouli said angrily, "Besides, if I am not greedy, can I show your goodness?" Don't talk about me, if you talk about Se, you are the most Se, and if you are unlucky, you will be especially sorry for your kid! ”
When you're away, everyone is fine, and as soon as you kid comes back, something happens!
"Then give you a chance to be a good person, I didn't eat enough just now, you invite us to have another good meal, and let's discuss how to do this tricky errand by the way." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"It's okay to have a treat, but I don't have anything to do with you, what should you do...... The emperor sent me to participate, just to supervise you, in fact, how do I know how to handle cases? Gong Shouli said.
"Hehe, the big guys are all ants on a line now, don't even think about running away, you old boy not only have to work hard with us, but also have to get silver, first take 500,000 taels to Ziyu to use, and then it's not enough to talk about it." Xiao Chen said.
"Bad luck!" Gong Shouli shook his head and sighed, feeling extremely distressed, but he didn't say no.
Because he knows that this is the local tyrant who beat him up, if he doesn't pull out a dime, he is afraid that the emperor will send someone to raid his house when he turns around!
In fact, the emperor still loves him and gives him a chance to pay money, so that in the future, if someone impeaches him for corruption and bribery, the emperor can also speak for him.
It's like the fat man pricked the emperor with a needle and bloodletting just now, although it is a little painful, but it can cure the disease.
So putting his blood is for his good, and now he is not only willing to take the silver, but also afraid that Zhao Yu will not want it.
He can take 500,000 taels, and he can give away 1 million, the silver is not a problem, the problem is the case.
If this case goes on, if it doesn't involve the two princes, he will take off his eyeballs and step on the big guys!
The golden mean that Lao Tzu has always adhered to is about to break the gong.
But this day will come sooner or later, and the reason why the emperor wants to do this, in fact, he has more or less guessed that one or two, three or four points......
"Gonggong, are you really willing to pay this money?" Zhao Yu didn't believe that this famous iron rooster could still pluck its feathers?
"I'll have someone deliver it to you when I get back." Gong Shouli gritted his teeth and said, "But you Zhao Yu want to save me some flowers, and my silver is not blown by the wind...... Okay, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go to dinner, let's talk while eating. ”
Originally, Gong Shouli's relationship with Zhao Yu and Yuan Ren was very ordinary, and he usually didn't have any contacts, but now, as Xiao Chen said, the big guys are all ants tied to a thread, they belong to accomplices, and they have to be close if they are not close!
It's casual to talk.
"Xiao Chen, you kid give me a word first, that Yang Feng'er really wants to commit suicide?" asked Xiao Chen this very secret and sensitive question in front of several people.
"If you don't believe it, let's see." Xiao Chen said.
"Now the big guys are all together, I'm unlucky, you kid is not good, you hurry up and give Lao Tzu an idea." Gong Shouli said, "I'm not familiar with that Yang Feng'er, aren't you very good with her?" Why don't you help me persuade her? Just said that I would take care of her in the future. ”
"That's how the gossip goes." Xiao Chen said, "I don't know Yang Feng'er at all, and your old Gong actually doesn't covet her beauty, but the words are spread like this, and they reach the ears of the emperor, if it's not true, it's true, and now the two of us are people in the rumors, if we take care of her, wouldn't it be false and self-defeating?" ”
"In fact, it is not very suitable for Yang Guiren to stay in the palace because of her sinful body, I think it is better to ask the emperor to expel her from the palace." Zhao Yu is just an upright official, but he doesn't understand the world, and his brain is extremely smart, although he doesn't know the root of the matter, but as soon as he hears Xiao Chen's words, he probably knows what he means.
He also knew that Xiao Chen was good friends with Lin Dongyang, and it was said that Lin Dongyang had committed a crime, and only Xiao Chen had Xiao Chen to protect him.
Now Yang Feng'er has been beaten into the cold palace and is in a miserable situation, so Xiao Chen wants to fish her out.
