Chapter 140: Divide the Spoils
The sword flashed, and the head fell to the ground!
The eldest grandson Tianlu looked at the headless corpse on the ground in a daze, and then looked at Wen Chen, who had a flat expression and put the sword back in the sheath, and wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, leaving only a helpless sigh.
In such a big case involving a huge amount of money and a bad impact, from the great blooming dynasty to the present, the main culprit is generally escorted to Shangjing City, and after the three legal divisions are tried together, the saint finally convicts him personally, and the world is announced to have the effect of setting an example.
Even if Wen Chen was holding Shang Fang's sword of slashing horses, it was unreasonable for the main culprit to behead him before he was tried!
"Eldest grandson, have something to say?" Wen Chen seemed to see that the eldest grandson Tianlu had something in mind, and strolled over.
Eldest Sun Tianlu took a deep breath, bowed down and hugged his fists, "I don't know what other instructions Lord Wen has for this case......
Wen Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, and glanced at the defenders of Lucheng who were squatting on the ground and surrendering with their heads in their hands, "The aftermath of Lucheng will be handled by Lord Changsun, and tomorrow the Japanese officials will let Xue Ding go to the Yamen to take the initiative to surrender, and explain the interests between the Xue family's firm and Yuan Qingshan and the officials of various cities and counties in Qingzhou over the years, and then Lord Changsun only needs to arrest people according to the list!" ”
"The ...... of the evidence"
The eldest grandson Tianlu squinted his eyes at the mountains of gold and silver treasures piled up not far away, even if he was a person who had been honest and honest for decades and adhered to official morals, he couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw such a huge amount of wealth......
Wen Chen glanced at him, "The evidence in Lucheng doesn't need to be worried about by Lord Changsun, this official will deal with it himself, as for the evidence that will be confiscated in the name of other city and county officials in Qingzhou in the future, please also ask Lord Changsun to carefully check it and send the well-documented items to Shangjing City!" ”
"Won't Lord Wen follow his subordinates to investigate this case?" The eldest grandson Tianlu was a little surprised.
Wen Chen waved his hand, "This case is clear enough, as soon as Yuan Qingshan is removed, what is left is just some small fish and shrimp, and it can't set off much storm, and it is just a waste of time for this official to continue to follow." ”
"But the official still has one more thing to instruct......"
"Lord Wen, please speak!" The eldest grandson Tianlu said respectfully.
"Before the official left, His Majesty explained that even if corruption is rampant in Qingzhou officialdom, it is not appropriate to make a big move to completely change blood, and let them have a long memory without hurting the meridians and bones, as for what the scale, the eldest grandson will do it himself!"
It doesn't hurt your muscles and bones......
Eldest Sun Tianlu lowered his head and thought about it, and immediately understood what Wen Chen meant.
Even if Yuan Qingshan has been subjugated, Qingzhou is still in a state of ruin, unable to withstand the toss of big moves, if a large number of incumbent officials are replaced, it will slow down the process of Qingzhou's return to normalcy, and second, it will also make the people question the prestige of the imperial court.
"Xia Guan understands!"
Wen Chen bowed his head slightly and raised his hand, "Lord Eldest Sun will take someone back, and leave it to this official to deal with here." ”
The eldest grandson Tianlu didn't dare to ask more, he knew in his heart that since he had been the assassin of Qingzhou in recent years, he had done a lot of inaction, if it wasn't for Yuan Qingshan forcing him to be anxious this time, he was unlikely to stand up for Wen Chen to be the vanguard, this time Wen Chen did not pursue the old accounts It was already an extrajudicial favor, as for how to deal with the stolen money piled up here, since there is a Shangguan here, it is naturally not his turn to greet him.
"Farewell to the official!"
With the withdrawal of the large army of the defenders of Lucheng, the originally crowded water pavilion immediately became clear, but the blood stains left on the ground still told that there had been a bitter battle here.
"Senior Brother Wen seems to have a good amount of alcohol on weekdays, and Master also said that you have to wake up early tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect to count a few more hours......
The red sleeves and Tian Xiang walked with a smile on their faces, and they no longer had the chivalrous spirit they had when they were besieged just now.
Bro? Master?
Wen Chen was stunned and tilted his head to look at the two, "The two girls are also Mr. Mo's apprentices?" ”
"That's nature, otherwise how would I call you junior brother?" Red Sleeves tapped his chin lightly, and the little black bean was jealous on the side.
It's not very old, but it's not too young......
Wen Chen touched his chin and said, "I don't know how many apprentices the master has accepted?" ”
"Count you, there are nine ......," Redsleeves paused and continued, "Six dead." ”
This should also include the little emperor's Lao Tzu!
Wen Chen sneered, "Those two senior sisters are really blessed and ......."
Red Sleeves covered his mouth and smiled, intentionally or unintentionally throwing a wink at him, "Master said that among the apprentices he accepted, we can let the two sisters choose one as a husband, but it's a pity that they are all short-lived ghosts, and I don't know if Senior Brother Wen has this blessing......"
This should be considered a disguised seduction, right......
Wen Chen cautiously glanced at the little black bean with an unkind face and on the verge of breaking out, and spread his hands with a smile, "I am a eunuch below, I am afraid that I will not be blessed to accept the good intentions of the two senior sisters in this life......"
"Hmmm......"
I don't know when, Tian Xiang suddenly appeared beside Wen Chen, inexplicably pulled his arm, stroked the slender and slender fingers, and raised his hand to pinch his cheek and looked at his mouth, nodding silently.
"Talented, rare good goods......"
What the fuck do you mean by that? What about picking pigs?
Wen Chen's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly withdrew his arm and stepped aside, distancing himself from the two.
"Roar Roar Roar Roar ......"
The red sleeves smiled again and again, and waved her hand gently, "Look at you, my sister is playing with you!" ”
Anyway, regardless of Xuanyang's murderous eyes, he walked straight to the "hill" where Yuan Qingshan's stolen silver was piled up.
"Brothers, 20,000 taels of silver, not a lot of copper coins, get to work!!"
"No!"
A group of gold-armored dragoons responded in unison, and someone found the weighing rod out of nowhere, put the silver piled there into the tray one by one and weighed it, and it looked like it was premeditated.
Wen Chen sighed and leaned over, "I'm tired of the two senior sisters to weigh 80,000 taels more, junior brother, I have other ...... for him."
He knew that Lucheng's account was absolutely incomprehensible, Yuan Qingshan embezzled a large amount of stolen silver to buy armaments, grain and grass for the king of Zhennan, and these things could not see the light, and he handed back more silver taels, and when the time came, the household department could find out the strangeness when he checked the accounts casually!
Anyway, when this trouble comes, you will have to resist hard, it is better not to do two things, make this hole a little bigger, and seek a start-up capital for the business territory you are going to build!
As long as the little emperor is willing to protect himself, then the day will not fall!
Red Sleeves glanced at him with a smile, "What, Senior Brother Wen wants to give my two sisters a dowry?" ”
Wen Chen didn't blush, "There is a tough mouth to strengthen the two fingers, which is enough to satisfy the two senior sisters, and the bride price will be discussed later!" ”
This time it was the turn of the red-sleeved Tianxiang to blush, although the two of them joked on weekdays, although they were not serious, but as the leader of the Golden Armor Dragoon in Qingzhou, no one under his hands dared to ridicule them like this!
"Hmph, it's not a small tone!"
"The mouth is bigger!"
Wen Chen immediately fought back, if it weren't for Xuanyang's poor performance, Lao Tzu would have been able to say that the two of you have endocrine disorders!
Unexpectedly, the red sleeves did not show weakness, but twisted his waist in front of everyone, blew lightly in Wen Chen's ear, and said softly in a shy tone:
"Then you have to make a serious appointment, and my sisters can also have a good look at Senior Brother Wen's power......"
The fragrant wind on the red sleeves penetrated into his nose, making Wen Chen swallow his saliva subconsciously, and he couldn't help but feel his heart ripple.
For some reason, he always felt that these two senior sisters exuded a hint of flattery, which was incompatible with the identity of the Golden Armor Dragoon, even the Oiran Kiln Sister of the Shangjing City Teaching Workshop Division was not as attractive as them......
The process of dividing the stolen goods was simple and pleasant, and after Wen Chen and the Golden Armor Dragoon took what they needed, the remaining stolen silver was sent to the Lucheng County Yazhong, where Han Rishan took care of it.
As for the first batch of grain that promised to be paid in installments by Red Sleeves, Wen Chen wrote a letter to Xue Ding, and the Xue family business transferred it from the previous disaster relief grain and grass, and the rest of the grain and grass was handed over to the eldest grandson Tianlu and filled into the Qingzhou grain depot.
