Chapter 337: How dare you take bribes openly?!

After getting Ran Fang's hint, Gu Siyuan took the attendant to carry the box and swaggered through the market, and went to find Meng Yi openly.

He still knows how to be more restrained, and when someone asks about it on the road, he just says that he is walking around with a suitcase.

However, everyone looked in the direction he was going and immediately understood what he was going to do.

"This is to give a gift to Lord Monta, right?"

"Looks like so."

"Why is that?"

"You don't know yet, I heard that the affairs of the commercial street are in charge of the Mengda people, and the Gu family is afraid that they also want a piece of the pie."

"Harm, who said it wasn't, I heard that the people of the Gu family didn't see Meng Yi a few times when they went to the business yamen, but I don't know if they can see it with money this time."

"I'm afraid it won't work, how can Lord Meng collect money?"

"That's it, if Your Majesty knows about this, then it's worth it?!"

People talked about it, but Gu Siyuan didn't seem to know, and went straight in the direction of Meng Yi's mansion.

Just when everyone was waiting to taunt him, they saw that he was invited in by the guards in Meng Yi's mansion, and after half an hour, Meng Yi walked out with a happy face.

And the box he carried into was not seen to be brought out.

This news spread quickly, and immediately someone followed Gu Siyuan's practice and went to find Meng Yi with the money.

For a while, the most lively place in Xianyang City belonged to Meng Yi's mansion, and everyone who came out was beaming with joy on their faces.

This news soon spread throughout Xianyang City, from the officials to the common people, everyone knew that Meng Yi was a corrupt official.

The people's condemnation of Meng Yi is also getting louder and louder, which makes Meng Yi's heart very uneasy.

The most important thing is that the money was collected by Ran Fang, but the infamy was carried by him.

He couldn't find a place to reason, so he could only come to Ran Fang in the end.

As soon as he entered, he sat down in his chair, his head bowed with a sad face, and he looked very haggard.

"Sir, what should I do about this?!"

"If this development continues, then the reputation of my Meng family will be ruined!"

"In the future, I will have no place in the court, I'm afraid I won't have a foothold!"

"If it continues, even if Your Majesty does not issue an order to punish, I am afraid that I will not have the face to continue to be an official in the court."

"This is not the most important thing, if the officials in the court follow me and embezzle, won't this court be a miasma in the future?!"

The last sentence is the point.

At first, when he listened to Ran Fang's suggestion to take bribes, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, and even when he saw so much money, he was complacent and felt that the treasury was full.

So when he heard the ridicule and scolding of the people, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but when he thought of the down jackets of the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang, he pretended not to care.

But now that things are fermenting, and every time he goes to the business yamen, those people look at him, but in their private conversations, they are saying that this is a place where they can make money, and his mentality has changed.

Hearing him say this, Ran Fang looked at him a little differently.

"I didn't expect that Meng Zhonglang would have such an awareness, and the official would be relieved."

Looking at Ran Fang's evil smile, Meng Yi had an ominous premonition, and he nervously clasped his hands around his chest.

"Rest assured what?"

"You...... What do you want to do?! ”

"I'm an official of the imperial court, you can't do anything to me!"

Ran Fang shook his head and gave him a reassuring look.

Then, he leaned back slightly, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything." ”

"It's just ......"

"Now that your corruption and bribery have spread throughout Xianyang City, if it is not properly handled, as you said, what should the officials of the court and central government learn from your practices in the future?"

"The most important thing is that those who have just changed from ordinary people to officials, if they are blinded by interests for a while, they are irresponsible to the people."

"So ......"

"This matter must not be good!"

With a "snap", Ran Fang's hand slapped the table, and Meng Yi also shivered.

He seemed to understand something, but he wished he had misunderstood.

"You!"

"I ......"

"You brought up the bribe in the first place!"

"Now that things can't end, you can't push me out!"

"I ...... I don't follow. ”

He said the last three words so confidently, especially when he saw Ran Fang's eyes, he couldn't say anything else.

Seeing that he was so scared, Ran Fang smiled slightly, "Don't worry." ”

"I have my own way to do this, and I won't let you be wronged."

Hearing him say this, Meng Yi's mood relaxed a lot.

It's just that this matter has no result, and he is always uneasy.

"Then you deal with it as soon as possible, I still have to leave beforehand."

With that, he fled and left the place, as if a ghost was chasing him behind him.

It's just that he didn't know that as soon as he left, Ran Fang immediately called Cao Yangyun over.

"Take a team of people and horses to the business yamen and arrest those who are corrupt and bribery!"

"Whoa!"

Cao Yangyun's voice was loud, this was the first time he had done such a rigorous thing since the establishment of the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion, and he must not let Ran Fang down.

When he led a group of soldiers and horses from the Governor's Mansion of the Pro-Army Commander and walked towards the business yamen, the people he saw on the road were shocked by their majesty.

There were also quite a few brave men who followed the guards, wanting to see who they were going to arrest.

Poor Meng Yi had just come out of Ran Fang and returned to the yamen, and before he could sit down, he saw Cao Yangyun walking in with a team of people.

"Cao Yangyun! What do you want to do here with your troops?! ”

"Come on, take down this corrupt official!"

The words were closed, and immediately two guards stepped forward, set Meng Yi up directly, and tied his hands from behind with ropes.

"There are other people who take bribes, and they are all arrested, and no one is allowed to let go!"

"How dare you embezzle so openly, what do you regard the laws of Great Qin?!"

"Those who are corrupt will never be let go!"

"Take a good look at this yamen, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!"

Just when Meng Yi and the others didn't react, the people led by Cao Yangyun arrested several people in a row.

They all saw that Meng Yi did not resist, and the others did not dare to resist.

Now the people who are watching the excitement outside the house don't understand what's going on?

It was obviously Meng Yi who took bribes, how could he arrest so many people?

Cao Yangyun took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, on which many things were densely written.

"This is the money and people you took bribes, do you admit it or not?!"

As he spoke, a guard handed the paper to the person who tied it up.

Seeing this, those people all looked miserable, but they didn't expect that they would receive such a small amount of money, and they were found and arrested.

“……”

Without spending a single soldier, Cao Yangyun arrested all these corrupt people, and he was a little lost.

"Since you confess your guilt, then you are not wrong, take them all away!"

When people outside saw this scene, they understood that this was a person who had come to arrest corruption, and everyone spontaneously applauded.

"Well done! Well done! ”

"This pro-army Governor's Mansion dares to arrest Lord Meng?!"

"It's all corruption, so naturally we have to arrest it together!"

"That's it, this pro-army Captain's Mansion is really not ordinary!"

"The commander is following His Majesty's orders, and this matter must be His Majesty's will!"
