Chapter 54: Something Missing

If you want to frame someone, it's simple, just open your mouth.

But it takes a little effort to convince most people that they did it. At least you need a little bit of virtuosity to convince everyone that something that doesn't exist has happened.

So what should you do if you want more people to believe, or even believe?

The answer is that you need to pay some price. You'll need to pay enough to match the story you've made. For example, for the sake of this story, you lose a large sum of money, you get hurt, or even ...... Paid with his life.

Who would use their life to wrong? No way! So it's definitely true.

Han Kuang just thought of this, and finally had nothing to say. The other party even took his life, unless he followed and proved his innocence. Otherwise, there is no way back. No, even if he takes his life, he may not be able to turn the tables.

Because then the rumors will say that he committed suicide in shame.

Will Han Kuang commit suicide? Of course not, so he could only get sick, very sick, and he didn't see any guests.

Han Kuang was the main force against Wei Zhongxian, and now he is down. This has led to a flurry of chickens and dogs jumping for the entire civilian-bureaucratic clique. Invisibly, it gave Gonggong Wei a chance to breathe.

Ling Yunkai also admired this.

"My lord's trick is a stroke of genius. The most important thing for these clear streams is reputation. I tried to start with the corruption side and get their incriminating evidence. As a result, no tangible evidence was found. ”

"Hehe, this is also the right medicine. That's what they're afraid of. ”

"Shall we do it again?" Ling Yunkai felt a little addicted. After all, this feeling of bringing down a senior member of the DPRK and the Central Committee without spending a sword is really addictive.

"Can't come again. After all, it's just an off-the-board move that can't be played on the cards. It works best if you use it once, and if you use it too much, no one will believe it. In the next round, we're going to get real. ”

"Your Excellency, just give me orders."

...........

Yong'an Temple on the outskirts of the capital.

"My lord, please use it slowly."

Master Jinghai served Lu Xiao a meal and a stack of pickled radish. Then he took two steps back and waited quietly.

He has known Lu Xiao for many years. At that time, Lu Xiao was still a hundred households. At the beginning, every time Lu Xiao came, the entire Yong'an Temple didn't dare to breathe. After all, Jinyiwei's reputation can be called a change of color in this era. What's more, Lu Xiao is still a hundred households. In the eyes of the monks of Yong'an Temple, this is an out-and-out big man.

But later, Jinghai discovered that Lu Xiao was actually different from other Jinyi guards. There is nothing wrong with them, monks. Every time I come, I eat their fast, drink some tea, and then sit quietly for an afternoon.

Jinghai didn't know. Lu Xiao just regarded Yong'an Temple as a place to rest. In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, various relationships were intricate. The general trend is becoming more and more erosive. Lu Xiao is in it, even if he is not tired, but sometimes he is tired.

Jing'an Temple is famous for its fast meals. The water is clear and sweet, and the pickled radish is crisp and delicious. Every time Lu Xiao is tired, he will go here to rest. Over time, Master Jinghai became acquainted with him.

Lu Xiao actually hasn't liked monks all the time. However, Jinghai can follow these monks of Yong'an Temple. At least they don't lend usury.

This time, though, Jinghai clearly felt that something was wrong. Because Lu Xiao rarely brought a team of people. More than a dozen brocade guards blocked the various exits of Jing'an Temple.

The most important thing is that since he came, Lu Xiao has been sitting there eating, and he doesn't say anything about it. This made Jinghai feel a little bottomless.

finally waited for Lu Xiao to finish eating, and he hurriedly brought tea. Lu Xiao is not the kind of person who can taste tea, so he drinks it all in one go. Then he began to speak.

"Master Jinghai, I heard that you like to collect some calligraphy and paintings?"

Jing Hai chuckled in his heart, and his heart finally came.

"Lord Hui, I did receive some."

"Show me it."

"Yes."

Jing Hai took out a large stack of calligraphy and paintings in a little panic and put them in front of Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao picked it up and flipped through it casually, until he found the calligraphy and painting signed Hokusai, and then pushed the other calligraphy and painting away. All Hokusai's calligraphy and paintings were left behind.

Lu Xiao can only say that he understands these calligraphy and painting things like a little. After all, he was in the middle of a war for half of his life in his previous life. Exposure to these things is limited.

"I don't know much about calligraphy and painting. Master Jinghai, you give a comment, how are these paintings? ”

Jinghai is not stupid, before he figured out Lu Xiao's purpose, how dare he answer casually.

"This ...... My lord, is there a problem with these calligraphy and paintings? ”

"The problem is that there is no problem with painting. But this poem is ...... Reading between the lines, there is a bit of sympathy for Donglin's anti-party. Master Jinghai, what do you think? ”

Jinghai pounced and knelt down on the spot.

"My lord, I ......" But before he could speak, Lu Xiao interrupted him.

"Alright, if I really came to get you, I would have to talk to you so much. It is to remind you that in this world, words cannot be said nonsense. Do you understand? ”

"Got it, got it, got it." Jing Hai nodded again and again, and in just a few breaths, his face was already covered with cold sweat.

"Everyone, friends, I'm just giving you a wake-up call. Don't keep these things. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll burn it all when I get back. Never again. ”

"No, you remember, you have to take it as usual in the future. However, the next time this Hokusai-samai comes, keep her and inform me, can you do it? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, look at your appearance, I can't drink tea today, let's go. Do it yourself. ”

Leaving Yong'an Temple, Lu Xiao returned to the Jinyiwei station. Ling Yunkai came up.

"My lord, I have done everything you gave me."

"Well, show me it."

The two entered Lu Xiao's office. Then Ling Yunkai took out a file and handed it to Lu Xiao.

"According to the investigation, the cabinet of the dynasty, Master Zhou, has two small courtyards in the capital. one wife and one concubine, and four servants. The family's assets are only 200 taels. ”

"Two hundred taels, our Lord Zhou is really as incorruptible as water."

"My lord, not necessarily. These are just the assets of Lord Zhou in the capital. These here are his assets in his hometown of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. According to the lowly investigation, Lord Zhou's clansmen include nephews, nephews, uncles and hundreds of other direct family members. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are 50,000 acres of fertile land. Thousands of servants. There are tens of thousands of tenants.

His sons and nephews are even more rampant in the township. There are more than 60 homicide cases alone. There are countless other cases of encroachment on land and forced purchase of good prostitution. It's a big bully in the area. ”

"50,000 acres?" Lu Xiao glanced at it casually. "Less, right?"

"Yes, how much do you think is appropriate?" Ling Yunkai can be called obedient in this regard.

"Let's write 200,000 acres."

“...... Be. ”
