Chapter 338: Guilty of Petitioning
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Meng Yi was taken away by the people brought by Cao Yangyun.
Meng Yi really didn't understand why he was arrested?
Obviously, Ran Fang promised him?
Even if he had 10,000 questions in his heart, he felt that Ran Fang's arrest of him must have been ordered by Ying Zheng, so he did not resist when he was arrested.
Until he arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion of the Pro-Army, looking at this place that was obviously Xianyang Prison, now it gave people a completely different feeling, and he was in a trance for a while.
Cao Yangyun locked the others in a dark and damp cell, and chose a cell for Meng Yi that looked very hurried and had a window.
"Master Meng, go in."
"This is the cell where the adults stayed before, and it was reserved for you."
Listening to the meaning of this, it is obvious that this arrangement is what Ran Fang meant.
Meng Yi cursed Ran Fang a thousand times in his heart at this moment, but when he thought of his situation, he had to endure it, otherwise he didn't know how long he would stay in this prison.
"Thank you for me!"
"When I go out, I'll give him a big gift!"
Seeing that he gritted his teeth, Cao Yangyun felt a little proud in his heart.
He didn't seem to see Meng Yi's anger, and when Meng Yi walked in, he locked the cell door with a "click" and turned to leave.
Leaving Meng Yi alone, looking at the straw mat in the cell, and the pungent smell, he stood in the cell with the disgust in his heart, as if he was determined not to sit in the cell in humiliation.
Cao Yangyun didn't care about these, he happily went to Ran Fang to report the situation.
After saying everything, Cao Yangyun asked Ran Fang with some doubts: "My lord, how to deal with Meng Zhonglang's matter?" ”
"This Meng Zhonglang is deeply trusted by His Majesty, so he arrests people like this, if His Majesty is guilty of it, what should he do?"
"Besides, the bribery ...... Your Majesty agrees. ”
Although Cao Yangyun's heart was very happy when he caught Meng Yi, after he caught it, he began to panic a little.
Ran Fang raised his head and glanced at him, and instead of answering this question, he asked, "When the people who asked you to track the business yamen were corrupt, did you find their faces at that time?" ”
"I saw it, I looked like I was interested in seeing money, just like the officials I saw in Xianyang Prison before!"
"That's right."
Cao Yangyun was even more puzzled by this, and he didn't understand what he meant by this?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Ran Fang spoke again: "Greed is human nature, but it is correct to be able to suppress nature and stick to principles. ”
"Especially when it comes to being an official."
"There are so many people in the business yamen, and there are more than one person who bribes those rich people, and Meng Yi is in front of accepting bribes, so the people behind will naturally follow suit."
"But there are people who can stick to their principles and say no to those temptations, and these people will be honest and honest officials when they become officials in the future."
"Although there is no guarantee that they will not be complicit in the future, at least for now they have chosen to persevere."
"Therefore, this experiment is a warning to those officials who want to be corrupt or who are not corrupt, whether it is more or less corrupt, whether the official position is big or small, as long as they are caught, they must be dealt with seriously!"
"I will personally enter the palace to explain this matter to His Majesty, and those officials are afraid that no one will dare to intercede this time!"
Hearing this, Cao Yangyun nodded again and again.
But what he cares about is not those little minions, but Meng Yi.
Seeing that Ran Fang had never mentioned Meng Yi, he asked without giving up: "What about Meng Yi?" ”
"It's just closed."
Ran Fang said it very naturally, and when he saw Cao Yangyun's somewhat incomprehensible expression, he added: "Let him have a long memory, and dare to agree to anything." ”
"It's just a brain!"
As soon as he said this, Cao Yangyun understood.
When he returned to the prison after a while, he knew how to treat Meng Yi, after all, he would still have to be released in the future, so he couldn't go too far, but it wouldn't make him too easy.
Anyway, he is also Ran Fang's person, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog.
Hey?
That's the truth anyway.
Ran Fang didn't know the fugue in Cao Yangyun's heart, he got up and prepared to enter the palace to see Ying Zheng, otherwise the matter would drag on for too long, and I was afraid that Ying Zheng would also have an opinion on him.
When he arrived at the gate of Zhangtai Palace, Wei Liang was already waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Commander, you're here."
"Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, just because of Lord Meng's affairs."
Ran Fang nodded, took out a purse from his cuff, and put it in Wei Liang's hand.
"Thank you, sir."
After speaking, he entered Zhangtai Palace under the leadership of Wei Liang.
"See Your Majesty."
Seeing him, Ying Zheng had a rare emotion on his face, obviously a little angry that he didn't discuss things with him.
"Get up."
Hearing this, Ran Fang not only did not get up, but knelt directly on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."
This made Ying Zheng a little confused, and the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Puzzled, he asked, "What is the sin?" ”
Ran Fang lowered his head, completely in a humble manner, and said in a deep voice: "When the minister's subordinates arrested the corrupt officials, they also arrested Lord Meng Yi, so the ministers are guilty. ”
"Oh?"
Ying Zheng is really puzzled, isn't it Ran Fang's order to arrest Meng Yi?
He didn't believe it!
Although he believes in Ran Fang very much, he also understands Ran Fang's personality.
At first glance, there was something else to say.
"Then you say, is Meng Yi corrupt?"
"Yes!"
Ran Fang's sentence was sonorous and powerful, and before Ying Zheng got angry, he then added: "But this matter is related to the minister." ”
"This corruption is a matter of discussion between the minister and Meng Yi, and let him use his body as bait to test how this new official will choose in the face of interests."
"But I didn't expect that when my subordinates were investigating corrupt officials, they would arrest Meng Yi by mistake, so it is a crime to be lax under the rule of the ministers."
Hearing him say this, all the anger in Yingzheng's heart was gone.
As long as Ran Fang can testify that Meng Yi is not the kind of person who sees money, he is already satisfied in his heart.
This shows that his eyes are still very accurate when looking at people.
"Alright, get up."
"The widow already knew about this matter, and Meng Yi discussed it with the widow before deciding to collect the money."
"He said it was all your idea, and now that I look at it, it's true."
"But now that things are so panicked, what are you going to do?"
