Chapter 199: The General Sets Up a Hongmen Banquet

hesitated for a long time, but in the end Yao Qiming didn't make up his mind.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Yao Qiming could only grit his teeth in the end and decided to wait and see what happened.

Although on the surface, it is true that the great general seems to be really that kind of person.

But for some reason, he always had a faint feeling of unease in his heart.

It was precisely because of this feeling that he gave up such an opportunity.

Towards evening, there were no ordinary diners at the bottom of the river.

Now the big and small officials who are still fishing at the bottom of the river are revealed.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, these officials finally waited for the main master.

Bi Hanlin's arrival quickly attracted the attention of all the officials in the restaurant.

Many people cast their eyes in the direction where Bi Hanlin was.

After all, for them, such a great general is indeed extremely rare.

Now that I am fortunate enough to be able to witness it once, I will not waste such an opportunity.

Among these officials, many have already learned through the grapevine that the general who is coming now is also a man who loves money.

As long as you give a generous gift, you will definitely be able to soar in the future.

As for where this gossip came from, no one has delved into it.

However, whether it is true or not, the officials in this river bottom fishing are now ready.

As long as they have the opportunity, they definitely won't miss it.

After Bi Hanlin arrived at the restaurant, he noticed that all the people in the restaurant were local officials.

Looking at their respectful appearance, Bi Hanlin couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.

However, for him, today's banquet was not really intended to entertain these local officials, but to take advantage of this opportunity to find out the pests hidden in the court one by one.

Once he finds out that someone has bribed him, he will not let it go easily.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Bi Hanlin had already seen Yao Qiming, the Taishou of Yueyang Prefecture, greet him.

At this moment, Yao Qiming had a respectful look on his face.

For a situation like Yao Qiming, even Bi Hanlin couldn't help but scoff.

Maybe Yao Qiming behaves like this, and if he changes to other people, he will eat him.

But for Bi Hanlin, such a person will definitely not get the slightest benefit in his eyes.

There is no other reason, Bi Hanlin is upright by nature, and he is naturally unaccustomed to such villains who tend to be inflammatory.

But now, in order to make the plan go smoothly, Bi Hanlin can only endure it.

If it were any other time, he would have arrested them all.

But he couldn't do that right now.

The reason is also very simple, he will not do this until these moths are pulled out.

While thinking about it in his heart, Yao Qiming had already come to the front.

With a respectful look, it made him feel sick when he saw it.

"General, everything is ready, just wait for the adults to take their seats."

Bi Hanlin just answered softly, and followed Yao Qiming to the box.

The box was already full of officials at this moment, and when they saw the general coming, everyone showed respect.

It was only after Bi Hanlin took his seat that the officials walked in from outside.

The feast is also officially begun.

Wait for the wine to pass three rounds, and the dishes to pass the five flavors.

Finally someone stepped up.

And the person who stood up was none other than the person Yao Qiming ordered at the beginning.

I saw that the man was holding a wine glass high in his hand at this moment, and said respectfully.

"The general came to our small place thousands of miles away, and the subordinate did not have any preparations, so this thing was taken as the intention of the subordinate official, and I hope that the general will not dislike it."

This person's words immediately attracted the attention of many people around.

After all, they never thought that such an opportunity would be snatched away by others in advance.

But no matter what the current situation is, since someone has come forward to confront the general, the remaining officials will naturally not be far behind.

What's more, they had already gotten the gossip before that, and now this general is also a greedy man for money.

If the things given are enough, the general's heart will be excited, and there will be many benefits that he will be able to get in the future.

As soon as they thought of this, many officials were ready to move.

All eyes fell on the general.

For now, everyone is just waiting for the general's reaction to make the next decision.

And in the next moment, everyone saw the general sitting on the main seat and nodded with a smile.

Not only did he accept the things of the person who gave the gift, but he also whispered to the person next to him.

"Write down his name."

When the giver heard this, the joy on his face was even stronger, and he didn't expect the general to attach so much importance to him now.

Not only did he accept the gift, but he also wanted to write down his name on his hand, presumably so that he could remember who gave it in the future.

Thinking of this, the joy on the faces of the presenting officials was even more intense.

Repeatedly reported his own name.

Soon the officials who gave the gifts lined up.

Such a situation was beyond Bi Hanlin's expectations, he did not expect that the corruption would be so serious.

After two days of hard work, I have already gained so many benefits.

All the people who took bribes, Bi Hanlin let his subordinates record them one by one.

Not only did they write down their names, but they also recorded everything they sent.

It's just that it's not because I want to be able to give these guys some edification at that time, but to let these corrupt officials know how serious the bribery is?

Of course, the bribes Bi Hanlin received made his jaw drop.

He never imagined that in such a remote place, these local officials could be so wealthy.

Not only are the things he gave precious, but there are many things that he has never even seen.

It is not difficult to see the value of these things.

When everything had settled, Hanlin also asked all the registered officials to be counted.

If it is said that the gift he gave is within his means, it is enough.

But if it is a gift, it is completely beyond the power of a small official......

Then he will deal with it mercilessly.

Now the people in this river bottom are completely unaware that what Bi Hanlin has set up today is a Hongmen banquet.

Dongqin Island.

Qin He listened to the news that Li Yang brought to him, and his face showed a look of surprise.

After looking at Li Yang, Qin He confirmed it again.

"Are you saying that the new general actually dealt with the gift-giving officials first?"

Hearing Qin He's words, Li Yang nodded and said with great certainty.

"It's true."

"Now that this matter has spread in Qinghe City, although most of the officials who gave gifts were officials from other places, they were all dealt with by the new general."

After listening to Li Yang's words, Qin He couldn't help but fall into a short period of contemplation.

"It seems that the person sent down this time is also an upright general."

Qin He whispered.
