Chapter 70: Money-making Speed
After reading the materials in the archives for almost an afternoon, even if his concentration was quite good, Zhou Ang couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and went back to the house to talk and laugh with Wei Ci and Fang Jun before feeling more relaxed.
This kind of depression is not simply because of being stuffy in the house, but to a greater extent, it comes from the impact on emotions brought about by the blood, weirdness, and cruelty of those cases.
Some people buy and rob pregnant women everywhere, take six-month-old fetuses in the womb, dissect them alive, and cook them, thinking that they can prolong their lives and become immortals...... Can you believe it?
This is no longer just a tragic problem, it is simply inhumane!
If you can become an immortal in this way, then the immortal should also die!
But on the contrary, such a thing has really happened, and it happened in Lingzhou - seventeen years ago, a wealthy businessman surnamed Lu wanted to live forever, and by chance, he believed in a sect called "All Souls", after completing the preliminary sacrifice to express his sincerity, he accepted the instructions and began to eat babies, and he had been eating for seven months before being discovered, according to his own confession, he had eaten nearly twenty fetuses, and the investigators also rescued six from his secret room that were not yet "young", so they were in "waiting to be eaten" state of pregnant women.
After being asked to confess, and after being uprooted by the then Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen and the Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen, the thread torn out of his body was uprooted, and Zhou Ang guessed that he should have been killed by the anger of the case handler at the time and "missed".
All those who were co-accused were later executed with various capital punishments such as "hanging their heads" and "Ling Chi", and all those who did not report it, regardless of men, women, or children, were sent to the front of the army to fill their horses' hooves.
After reading the file of the case, Zhou Ang himself was disgusted several times in the archives, and silently but deeply remembered this sect called "All Souls".
It seemed that when he saw Zhou Ang coming, his face was a little not good-looking, and the more experienced Wei Ci deliberately said a few jokes to explain, and when everyone talked and laughed a few words, seeing that Zhou Ang's spirit relaxed a little, he said again: "It really takes a little courage to go to see those files." โ
Zhou Ang may not have understood this before, but now, he can't agree anymore.
It really takes a bit of courage.
Many of the cases recorded there are challenging the bottom line of human beings and the bottom line of conscience - even if you just read the text, you need to have a strong ability to control your emotions, otherwise it is likely to lead to psychological problems. Depression can range from depression to ...... Perverted.
Zhou Ang sighed, thought about it again, and said, "But you still have to take a look, and it's also necessary to take a look, right?" After a pause, he said: "Only by knowing how evil those people are, can you know how meaningful what you are doing." โ
As soon as these words came out, not only Wei Ci immediately showed a look of appreciation, Fang Jun also high-fived and praised it, even He Yi, who had been sitting in the corner in a low-key manner, couldn't help but subconsciously glance at it when he heard it.
............
When he was on duty, Zhou Ang deliberately waited at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and waited until Chen Jing came out before leaving side by side with him, but when he was walking, he asked him about buying the courtyard.
He's decided to do it recently.
Chen Jing naturally knew everything, and immediately introduced several more reliable tooth shops in the city that he knew to Zhou Ang, and told him some things to pay attention to when looking at the house, and said that if you need help, just look for him and so on.
When the two of them were about to walk separately at the gate of the workshop, it came to an end. However, Zhou Ang did not go home directly, but turned to Jingshanfang and went to his uncle and uncle's house.
When he pushed the door in, the eldest brother Zhou Ye had just gotten off duty, and his front foot had just entered the house.
The two brothers sat down to talk, and Zhou Ang said that he wanted to buy a small yard, and invited his eldest brother Zhou Ye to accompany him to see the house and help the staff at that time.
As for the time, of course, it will be the day when both of them will take a break - not far away, there are still three days.
This kind of thing, in terms of the relationship between the two families, is naturally a matter of division, and it is a necessary thing, of course Zhou Ye should take it, but then when he sent Zhou Ang out, he couldn't help but chase it out, looked at no one left and right at the gate, and said in a low voice: "Is the county wishing the yamen to be so rich? Zixiu, you have just started, but you have to be careful! The money in this yamen is not something that can be taken casually!"
Zhou Ang was stunned at first when he heard this, and then immediately lost his laughter.
Thinking about it, too, the situation of his own family, of course, his eldest brother is clear, he was so poor that he ate two meals a day, and he was reluctant to eat white rice, he wanted to eat bean rice, his mother and sister had to work hard every day to do laundry to provide for the family, and in the blink of an eye, he had just entered the yamen for ten days, and he was about to buy a yard...... If it wasn't for corruption, where could it have come from?
Just because Zhou Ang copied some scriptures for people to earn some wages, can he have the courage to buy such a thing?
Zhou Ang has always been tireless in dealing with those who really care about him.
So at the door of their house, he patiently explained to his eldest brother: The way he came from the money was very correct, and the county Zhu Yamen cracked the case a few days ago, and considering his own little credit, he successively distributed three bonuses, which accumulated some.
However, Zhou Ye obviously didn't believe it, although Zhou Ang explained it very seriously, he still looked suspicious - he himself was in it, of course he knew that if the people in the yamen really wanted to make money, it would be very fast, but it was precisely because he was in it that he knew how dangerous this kind of "fast money" was.
Based on the experience he has summed up in the Yamen over the years, in fact, after becoming an "official", there is no need to deliberately corrupt and make money, it is too dangerous, and it will be finished if you are not careful.
Therefore, a few days ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, he also deliberately passed on his experience to his uncle and brother: you just do things in peace, just wait quietly, on weekdays, this begs you, that begs you, there will be some heart, you just pick those that are easy to help, easy to do to collect money, and do things easily, the money will be safe and secure. Besides, as long as you work diligently, the officials are not blind, and every New Year's Day in the yamen, you have to send some sweetness to the people below, otherwise who will help him work hard in the future?
In this way, safety and risk-free, not only a good reputation for helpfulness, but also a good face of honesty and integrity, the boss likes it, the bottom flatters, and within two years, it will accumulate into a well-off family. Why take the risk?
He also gave an example of the characteristics of the county Zhu Yamen: After you go in, you must first inquire clearly who is whose roots.
For example, the Lingshan Temple, the temple villain is less fragrant, and there must be no heel in the yamen, because he has no money to pay filial piety on weekdays, so once there is something in the temple over there to ask for your head, you can collect some money to help you do the little things that are not difficult with your colleagues.
But like Baoguo Temple and other big temples, its roots and feet will be in the county Zhu master, you are idle do not interfere, just wait for the August Festival or the end of the year Yamen to send benefits, you will know, Shangguan will not be alone.
But it was clear that now he felt that his younger brother should not have taken his words to heart at allโbut he was also helpless, and could only watch him helplessly while worrying.
When Zhou Ang left, he was also a little depressed in his heart: What should I do? I can't explain it clearly! Because of the special nature of the county Zhu Yamen, many things are absolutely impossible and impossible to tell to my eldest brother.
Therefore, although every tael of his silver is innocent, he can only helplessly leave an impression of "making money quickly" in his eldest brother's heart.
Coincidentally, when he returned home, he just entered the door, he found that the atmosphere was not quite right, mainly because the eyes of the little girl Zhou Zihe were very wrong, and when he washed his hands and face and entered the hall, he was surprised to find that his bedroom door was actually open, and there were a lot of silver ingots scattered on the ground...... and half a broken scoop.
After his astonishment, he thought about it and understood what was going on.
That day, I thought the money bag was quite good-looking, and finally decided to carry some loose silver taels and copper coins with me, so I put all the silver in the broken scoop and tied it back again.
And now, it should be that the broken scoop could not bear the weight of one hundred and eighty taels of silver, so it completely cracked through the crack - the reason why the door was open was that the mother and sister were at home, and they heard the movement and opened the door.
So, he couldn't help but feel like a fight again.
"Mother, I really haven't been corrupt ......"
Zhou Caishi was serving food and entering the door, and said calmly when he heard the words: "No one said that you were corrupt, but we happened to hear it, and we don't know how many there were, so we didn't help you pick it up, so you should clean it up yourself!"
