The official took a sip of his wine and said, "You can let it go, but you have to show it." ”

Since Wei Meng was buried around Jianshan under martial law and distributed nothing to do with the cards, those nearby officials felt that it was profitable, so they arrested some people who did not have nothing to do with the cards to make a profit, and those who had silver taels were let go on the spot, and those who did not have silver taels were arrested, so many officials made a lot of money.

Wei Meng naturally knew about this situation, but he didn't stop it, he was now worried that he had no money to fight, as long as those officials handed over half of the income to the imperial court, the matter would not be investigated, if he dared to hide it privately, no matter who it was, he would be decided.

In this regard, the people in the vicinity are miserable, and many people have been arrested and put in prison, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Wang Qizhi naturally had some silver taels in his hand, but if he really took out a silver ingot, wouldn't everything he had done be exposed, so he said no.

How could this official easily let Wang abandon him, and began to order the soldiers to rummage through the baggage behind him.

Fortunately, Wang Qizhi hid two long swords and silver taels outside the city, and only carried a few dozen taels of silver and a pair of expensive clothes.

The reason why he brought this expensive shirt was that he wanted to change it immediately after entering the city, and then change a face to get rid of the tracking of the black gold organization.

Soon, the baggage was quickly turned out, three large silver ingots and a set of expensive clothes were placed on the official's table, he saw that there was so much silver, not to mention how happy he was, he smiled and said to Wang Qizhi:

"You guy, aren't you rich, why do you lie, do you have an ulterior secret?"

Wang Qizhi looked at the expensive clothes, and immediately had an idea in his heart, so he started acting again.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, and said bitterly: "The little one deceived the adult, it is really a crime that deserves death, and it is not too late to ask the little one to explain and deal with it again." ”

Although the official has been in the officialdom for more than ten years and has seen some of the world, he was still fooled by Wang Qizhi's big drama, he stopped his wine glass, and said:

"Then I'll listen to your explanation."

Wang Qizhi hurriedly wiped away his tears and snot, and said, "My lord, I am a merchant in Chudi, and I heard that the porcelain of this small city has been famous for a long time, so I brought some silver taels to take a look, and if anything happened, I sent a caravan over." ”

The official was completely aroused by Wang Qizhi's interest, and said, "Then why are you dressed so in tatters, and you hide your good clothes from wearing?" ”

Wang Qizhi sighed, pretending to be helpless: "Adults should know that now is a troubled time, and the strong and strong are rising, if the little ones are not dressed in tatters, and before they leave the house, they will be killed and robbed of money, in order to save their lives, they must not be like this." ”

The official nodded as he listened, and suddenly another question arose, "Then why did you escort you over despite some masters?" ”

Wang Qizhi sighed again, and said: "First, the journey is far away, full of smiles, no one wants to come, second, I don't trust others, in case the person I care about is not a good bird, wouldn't I be even more miserable, I want to get rich, so I have to take risks and come here alone." ”

Wang Qizhi's words made this official feel the same way, he was not like this in the officialdom, step by step, for fear of taking a wrong step, in the end he offended a big official because of a sentence, and was demoted to a place where birds don't to be an official, and there is no hope for promotion in his life, so he will make money like this and exchange himself for a rich life.

In any case, the king abandoned the people in such a way is very hateful, this group of prisoners are all from poor backgrounds, they have no money and power, they have lived a poor life, and they have suffered this great disaster, how should their families live.

Wang Qizhi said: "My lord, the dozens of taels of silver will be given to you, hoping to exchange me for a free body." ”

Hearing this, the official laughed, and after accepting the two ingots of silver, he pushed the remaining one back and said:

"I am very close to you, and it is not easy to come here from afar, and the remaining silver ingots will be left for you to make a coil to go back, so I should recognize a friend."

Seeing this, Wang Qizhi hurriedly pushed the silver back and said, "The little one has another request, I hope the adult can agree." ”

The official asked curiously, "What kind of request, so it is." ”

Wang Qizhi hurriedly said: "I hope to let those people who have no money to pay the ransom go." ”

The official took back the ingot of silver, put it in his hand, and said, "This ingot of silver has at least twenty taels, and at most five or six people will be released." ”

Wang Qizhi felt that there was a drama in this matter, so he hurriedly took out a few silver tickets from his shoes, about a few hundred taels of silver, and handed them to the officials, saying, "How many people can be put in these silver taels?" ”

The official looked at Wang Qizhi's private collection of silver tickets, not only did he get angry, but understood very well that people in the rivers and lakes must learn to hide their secrets, otherwise they would have been cut by a thousand knives, just like he was in the court.

He pondered for a while, it was useless for this group of poor ghosts to be locked up here, and it was better to waste space than to sell this rich man a face, and let them all go, so that he could get some oil and water from him in the future.

The official said slowly: "In that case, I will sell you a face and let them all go." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Qizhi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, patted his ass, and said: "Thank you for your great kindness, this group of people will definitely be grateful to you when they know that you can let them go." ”

The official was very comfortable with this sycophant, and immediately laughed and said, "Get up, we can be regarded as friends, and when we go out, we can't forget me!" ”

Now Wang Qizhi wants to kill this official, and he can't forget him, he will not go to the extreme, but the former is still that flattering, if he is seen by his two companions, he doesn't believe that this is the Sun Wuming they know.

"That's nature, that's nature."

The official was satisfied with the silver ticket, since people give face like this, he, as an adult, naturally has to give face to others, he pulled Wang Qizhi to rush out of the room, the unpleasant smell instantly came to his face, the official covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and said to the people in the cell:

"The person next to me today has already paid your ransom, so those who don't have the money to pay the ransom can go back."

When the prisoners present heard this, two-thirds of them fell to their knees, and the remaining prisoners were really vicious people, which shows how many innocent people were imprisoned in this prison.

They kowtowed vigorously to thank the king for his great kindness.

Wang Qizhi is also very good at trouble, and said to those who fell on their knees: "Don't thank me, but also thank this official for his mercy and letting you out, otherwise it will be useless for me to have great ability." ”
